Robert Redford passed away at 89 on Sunday

>> Darin: Before we go, Robert Redford passed away.

>> Mike: Yeah. What happened?

>> Darin: Legend. Well, he's 89. Okay. Yeah. I don't know what, actually was the cause of his death. I just know he was the legend of legends.

>> Darin: This guy was. Oh my God.

>> Mike: Trying to think what Robert Redford movies I've seen.

>> Darin: You know what, I was actually going.

>> Mike: Through the newspaper one with Dustin Hoffman.

>> Darin: All the President's Men. What a great movie. He. And I love that when he looked at Dustin Hoffman, said, is there any place where you don't smoke? Yeah. And then he was. I, really loved sneakers back in the day.

>> Mike: Yeah.

>> Darin: Oh, that's a really.

>> Mike: I know I've seen him in movies. Yes, I know I enjoy seeing him in movies, but I've never specifically gone to a Robert Redford movie. Does that make sense?

>> Darin: yeah, I'm sure kind of like Mandy Patinkin.

>> Mike: Yeah, I really like him. I've just never gone to see a movie just for him. Mandy Patinkin and Mandy. And what's.

>> Darin: You just compared Robert Redford to Mandy Patinkin?

>> Mike: Practically the same guy.

>> Darin: Okay, you keep using the word. I don't think it means what you think it means. Little makeup. But no, this is what I liked most about Robert Redford was that, you know, he got kind of bummed out with Hollywood and that's why he founded the Sundance Film Festival. And he.

>> Mike: He founded it.

>> Darin: Yeah. Oh, yeah.

>> Mike: Does he own the Sundance?

>> Darin: that was his thing.

>> Mike: Isn't that like a production company too?

>> Darin: Yeah.

>> Mike: Holy Lord.

>> Darin: Exactly. So he was, like the Mecca to all of these, independent filmmakers. Right.

>> Mike: Yeah.

>> Darin: and so he loved independent films because he was all about the story.

>> Mike: He got sick of movies like, that were short on story, like the Godfather. Nobody. Nobody watches the Godfather for the story.

>> Darin: I love. Yeah. So he was big into independent film, but he was also smart. And he was so smart that he didn't turn down the chance to star to be in Avengers Endgame. Yeah.

>> Mike: Yeah.

>> Darin: Okay. I'm gonna be in the movie that's gonna be the number one box office draw of all time. Okay. Yeah, I'll do that.

>> Mike: He's one of those actors.

>> Darin: Good, looking as hell.

>> Mike: He's one of those. God, he was weird when he walked on to, like, when he popped up in a movie, you're automatically like, oh, I didn't realize we were watching a good movie.

>> Darin: Right. Yeah.

>> Mike: This is. Wow. If he's in it, I need to reevaluate how I've been feeling about this movie up to this point.

>> Darin: God, he was dreamy. Those blue eyes. Okay. Lord have mercy. Okay.

>> Mike: He went to. He went to Africa and fought a lion or something.

>> Darin: That's right.

>> Mike: with Susan Shurandon.

>> Darin: No, Meryl Streep was out of Africa.

>> Mike: Same person.

>> Darin: Dingo. My baby.

>> Mike: Changeable. Ah. he was in.

>> Darin: Was that the movie A Dingo? Eat My Baby?

>> Mike: He was in. Look who's Talking. He was in the Dark Crystal.

>> Darin: That was, John Travol Volta, and, that was Jim Henson who made.


Robert Redford was not in the first Star Wars

>> Mike: He was not in the first Star Wars. No, but Empire Strikes Back, if you look. No, the. The little droid that's going out over the snow. That was his. No, no, no. He. It was. He was remote control. He was an inventor, and, he made. It was one of the first drones. He put it in the movie.

>> Darin: Yeah. Good for him. Yeah.

>> Mike: He was Hydra.

>> Darin: Yeah, it's right. Was he Hydra? No, he was in Captain America. Civil War. I know. I know. Tells us that we're. Yeah, but he doesn't know what he's talking about. Okay, so anyway. But Robert Redford.

>> Mike: Batteries not included.

>> Darin: Yeah.

>> Mike: Short circuit.

>> Darin: He was. Willow, a lot of people don't know that he wasn't.

>> Mike: Wicket gets all the press. Wicket gets all the press as an Ewok. Nobody talks about Jorgensen. The Ewok up in the tree. The third. The third Ewok from the left that's holding the spear.

>> Darin: Okay?

>> Mike: That's Robert Redford.

>> Darin: Okay. We love you, Robert Redford, and we miss you.


There is a great clip with Liam Neeson doing improvisational comedy

Hey, what happened? I don't know if you've seen this, but there is this great clip with Liam Neeson, and he is with, Willow and then with Ricky Gervais and with that other guy, who, who's. Who's a comedy partner with Ricky Gervais. And Liam comes in there, says, I want to do improvisational comedy.

>> Mike: Oh, yeah.

>> Darin: And they're like, okay, because I'm very funny and I want to do improvisational comedy.

>> Mike: Yeah.

>> Darin: And so they're like, okay, Willow, pick a scene. He's like, you're a hypochondriac and you're the doctor. And Liam Neeson comes in there, he says, I have full blown aids. We don't know what to do with that. And they tell him, you can't go in there because I don't take notes. yeah, okay. But my God, it's one of the funniest things ever. And what makes it really, really, really funny is the look on, Willow's face sitting there, like, what is going on here?

>> Mike: There's a similar clip with. Have, you seen the one with Johnny Depp where he's, he's comes in, it's Willow and Ricky Gervais and Johnny Depp comes in. No. Oh, you like to, you like to make jokes? You like to make jokes in your little award shows? I got a few jokes. And he pulls out. Johnny Depp pulls out a bunch of jokes, and they're just, they're like veiled insults directly at Ricky Gervais. And Willow's looking at him, and they're just kind of uncomfortable.

>> Darin: It's very.

>> Mike: Curb your enthusiasm. But in one of the jokes, Willow actually laughs. And then Ricky looks at him like, what are you. What, What?

>> Darin: Whose set are you on?

>> Mike: Great.

>> Darin: It's great.


You know, there are people who don't care about the Emmys

Speaking of award shows, we are just coming off, the excitement, the thrill, the wonder, the amazement that was the, the Emmy Awards.

>> Mike: Ah, for awards and radio.

>> Darin: Da, da. no, that's for awards and television.

>> Mike: Television.

>> Darin: I think the Marcon Awards are there awards in.

>> Mike: Marconi plays the mamba.

>> Darin: I said listen to.

>> Mike: Listen to the radio. Don't you remember?

>> Darin: So the Emmy Awards was on. And of course, you go to the social medias, all the platforms, and there's all the people who don't care about the Emmys. They crack me up. I don't care, and I'm not watching it. Well, if you really don't care, you wouldn't even bother posting that you don't care. And then there's, I don't Know the guy's name? I can't remember his name. I think it's Jeff Hiller. He won best supporting actor in a comedy. Now, this was, what they call an upset because a lot of people thought that hunky, Harrison Ford was gonna win best supporting actor in the comedy. It was the first time that Harrison Ford was nominated, but this guy Jeff won it. And there's people. I've never heard of him. I don't even know who he is. Well, I don't care because I've never seen. It was like, is that maybe some more? Yes. Thank you.

>> Mike: Go touch grass.

>> Darin: Yeah. If this guy is funny enough to beat Harrison Ford and shrinking, then, you know, maybe check out HBO Max and watch the show and then see if you think he's funny instead of just, he can't possibly be funny because I've never heard of him.

>> Mike: Yeah, a lot of people didn't know. Nobody knew who Mark Hamill was until Star Trek made it there.

>> Darin: That's right. And Star Trek made him a huge star. Yeah, exactly.

>> Mike: Him and then Rickman.

>> Darin: Yeah. That. They all got their start on Star Trek. The occipital area of my head seems to have impacted with the arm of the chair, But I felt bad for, Now, did you watch it? You don't watch the Emmy Awards, do you?

>> Mike: I don't see. As somebody. If you want to talk about people who don't care, I truly don't care, and I don't want to. I'm not. I don't want to offend you.

>> Darin: But you don't. You don't go posting that. You don't care. No, that's the thing.

>> Mike: I didn't even know they were on. I just started seeing clips Now. I do enjoy seeing clips, of the. Whoever's hosting. I loved it. It was. Rick Gervais didn't do the Emmys, did he?

>> Darin: No. Ricky Gervais did the Golden Globes.

>> Mike: Golden Globes for, like, four years. I loved it when he was doing those. I like watching the. The highlights. Nate, Bargazzi did the Emmys.

>> Darin: He did.

>> Mike: I saw this post about how horrible of a job he did, and I'm like, I don't think Nate can do a horrible job.

>> Darin: He's.

>> Mike: He's part of his.

>> Darin: Yeah. he's getting dragged through the mud.

>> Mike: I watched it. I didn't. He did the thing. I thought it was hilarious. Every second you go over, we're going to take a thousand from the kids.

>> Darin: Yes.

>> Mike: He had a little rough patches getting there. But if you. If you watch Nate Bargazzi, if you like his humor. That's part of it is that uncomfortableness he's got that he doesn't mind being uncomfortable.

>> Darin: Right. A lot of people were wondering, like, why am I hosting? I. I don't know what that was, but all right. It counts as a laugh. Okay. yeah, he's one of those comics.

>> Mike: Where you may walk in not necessarily getting him, but the end of the hour, your kidneys are bursting, you're laughing so hard at it. That's what he is.

>> Darin: And by the way, I knew that they weren't going to take money away from the children. I knew that. I predicted it, and I said, they're not going to take money. So the original concept was, I'm donating $100,000 to the boys and Girls Club, and every second that they go over on their speeches, we're taking money away. And at one point, it went negative. It's like they were at negative $35,000.


Almost everybody who went up there on stage was rushed and awkward

>> Mike: They owe us, money.

>> Darin: Right. And so. But at the end of the night, they gave $350,000 to the boys and Girls Club. Yeah. Right. So I knew that they weren't going to take money away from a charity. But that being said, almost everybody who went up there on stage was rushed and awkward. Even more awkward than you normally are on an award show. So it's like, the premise was interesting, but after a while, you could tell people were growing tired of it.

>> Mike: But we did get John Oliver's yelling. Ah, you, Nate Burgess.

>> Darin: Yes. Yes.

>> Mike: That was worth. That was worth the whole thing.

>> Darin: Yes, that was. And then Nate, progressive man John Oliver, he's the worst. Because John Oliver came up there and his acceptance teach, I think, was five seconds. Yeah.

>> Mike: Or something like that.


Max Schumacher: Adolescents kept winning at the Emmys

>> Darin: But my take from the Emmy Awards was the show Adolescents kept winning. And I could have been with.

>> Mike: I've never heard of that.

>> Darin: And if I've ever heard of that, it can't be that good. I. Holy crap. Have you watched Adolescence?

>> Mike: No. I don't even know what.

>> Darin: Okay. I watched the first episode. Libby and I were glued to the screen. And then we started watching the second episode, and the boys came home. We started talking about this, that, and something else. And, we are going to watch the rest of it as soon as we possibly can. So, like you said, step out of your comfort zone. If there's somebody you don't know, check it out. You might think the person's funny, you might like the show. But. Yeah. Yeah.

>> Mike: How are you people ever. You People ever gonna see new stuff? listen, all the music you like right now, you probably discovered back in your. The high schools and the colleges.

>> Darin: Yes.

>> Mike: You know why?

>> Darin: Right?

>> Mike: Because you were looking at new stuff back then. Then you got. Oh, yes, it's for the visual, for the hearing impaired. When you got old and gray and you don't give it anymore, then you quit listening to new stuff. That's why when your kids say, hey, I'm going to go listen to who's Weezer. Weezer. You don't even know who that is.

>> Darin: Right, but it's like all you people complaining about, you don't know who any of these people are at the Emmys. I'm going to tell you something right now. Mary Tyler Moore is dead, okay? She's not going to win any more Emmy awards. Carol o' Connor is dead. He's not going to win any more Emmy awards. The days of there being three channels and you knowing literally everybody who's on that stage are gone. Yeah. Okay, that went away. And, when did HBO, like, first start getting original programming?

>> Mike: 19. 1932.

>> Darin: Okay. So, yeah, 1933, I think, was when the.

>> Mike: The Fraggles.

>> Darin: When the. The Larry Sanders Show.

>> Mike: Yeah.

>> Darin: Remember the Cable Ace Awards? Yeah, yeah. They used to have the Cable Ace Awards and all these shows that were on, basically HBO would. It might as well been the hbo.

>> Mike: That one show with the guy with the toaster and that was it. Everything else.

>> Darin: Talk Soup.

>> Mike: Yeah.

>> Darin: Yeah. Okay. That wasn't on sale Max, was it? That was only on in Finland. After HBO came, then all of these original programmings, episodes started, you know, really competing with network television. So the days of network television.

>> Mike: I'll be serious for a moment. One of the. One of the. A couple of the, original HBO shows that I really enjoyed. Not Necessarily the News. You like the Daily Show? Thank hbo. Yeah.

>> Darin: Conan o' Brien wrote for Not Necessarily the News.

>> Mike: And then they also had. Did you ever see Dream On?

>> Darin: Yes. I love Dream.

>> Mike: The dude would, like, go through his life and then he would have, like.

>> Darin: Flashbacks in black and white television clips. It was great.

>> Mike: Love.

>> Darin: Dream On. Yeah.

>> Mike: I actually watched some classic tv.

>> Darin: Brian.

>> Mike: Yeah. Brian Bimin. this past weekend. And I will tell you. Well, we were watching a, Black and White, one of them cowboy shows.

>> Darin: Okay.

>> Mike: You know, mister, I don't like the way you're looking at me. You know, I don't like the way you're talking to me. And there was something oddly comforting about it.


Some shows that were popular when you were a kid are now cool for a different reason

>> Darin: I know.

>> Mike: And I don't know if that's because I'm 50 now, and that's just like. I know that at some point I'm gonna be in a home.

>> Darin: Yeah.

>> Mike: probably in trouble for the third time. Mike, you can't have a Pop Tart today because you walked out front yard again without your pants on. There's something comforting about, a bunch of people yelling at each other in the old black and white shows.

>> Darin: I know, I know.

>> Mike: I know what it is.

>> Darin: Yeah. And say what you want about, you know, all these new TV shows. You look back at the Andy Griffith Show.

>> Mike: Yeah.

>> Darin: The Andy Griffith show is still one of the greatest television shows ever made. It's enjoyable to this day. M. They're just really good shows. And I think it's important that we go back and we keep watching these really old TV shows because you'll watch them and you can see where some of these newer shows got their inspiration. And have you ever watched Barney Miller? My God, Barney Miller is an amazing show.

>> Mike: Some shows that were popular when you were a kid are now cool to watch for a different reason.

>> Darin: So I miss watching a TV show on a particular day of the week. Like Monday night. You would watch every bit of Loves Raymond. Yeah. At nine o'. Clock. So we've started doing that with, with shows that are on Netflix. We would like, like. Well, no, Game of Thrones. We would watch Thursday night at 10 o', clock, Thursday at 10 on HBO.

>> Mike: You know, you should go hardcore. Like if somebody is like, has to go to the bathroom or they're running, they're popping the popcorn.

>> Darin: Exactly.

>> Mike: It's on. It's on.

>> Darin: Just let it run.

>> Mike: Bring back the days of running through your house.

>> Darin: We try to explain it to the kids what that was like back in the day, you know, we didn't, It's like if you missed a TV show, you missed it. Yeah.

>> Mike: And that's in the commercials were our Internet.

>> Darin: That's right. That's you guys. You would run to the bathroom. You would get four minutes.

>> Mike: Yeah. You would go to the bathroom and then you come back and somebody be saying, I can't believe they're making another Indiana Jones. You'd be like, what?

>> Darin: Huh?

>> Mike: the Temple of Doom.

>> Darin: What?

>> Mike: And they showed the guy with the fire. And now you missed it. You just have to wait till next week when it's on the show.

>> Darin: Exactly. But no, if you missed an episode, you had to hope and pray that you would catch it when they would rerun it over the summer. And sometimes you did, sometimes you didn't.

>> Mike: By the way, if this is your first time listening and you're like, my God, I'm 20 minutes in. Are these guys ever going to talk about anything? This is the show. This is what it is. Go do something around the house and have us on in the background every once in a while. We may piss you off.


All the stunts in that stunt show are from Raiders of the Lost Ark

I mentioned Indiana, Jones.

>> Darin: Yeah.

>> Mike: Charlie, when we went to the Disney's, they have the Hollywood studios, which used to be called MGM studios. And then big Disney got involved and changed it. The mouse took the Mickey hat out and they called it Hollywood Studios. But they still have the Indiana Jones Stunt Show Spectacular. Right. And all the stunts in that stunt show are all from Raiders of the Lost Ark.

>> Darin: Yes.

>> Mike: They have the opening with the ball running from the thing. They've got the fight.

>> Darin: They would shoot the poison darts through the wall.

>> Mike: The fight in the. In the town square where Marianne gets thrown in a basket, and then the plane that blows up at the end. Those are all in the show.

>> Darin: You know, when Indiana Jones did that thing, he pulled the gun at the guy who was swinging the sword or whatever because he had a fever.

>> Mike: Yeah. He was.

>> Darin: He was like, sick.

>> Mike: He's tired of it.

>> Darin: He just pulled it and shot it. And then they're like.

>> Mike: They kept that and, ah. I fulfilled my dad duties by informing everyone in the room of that fact right when it happened. You know, they're like breaking the fourth wall. We know, dad, shut up. Anyway, so when we saw that thing and Charlie's like, did they do all of that in the movie? I was like, yeah, they do all of that in the first Indiana Jones movie. So he wanted to watch it.

>> Darin: Yeah.

>> Mike: So we watched it again and I, That's a good movie, by the way.

>> Darin: It is a great movie.

>> Mike: One of the greatest movies of all time.

>> Darin: Raiders of the Lost Ark.

>> Mike: I challenge you.

>> Darin: It's not Indiana Jones and the Raiders.

>> Mike: Raiders of the Lost.

>> Darin: It's just Raiders of the Lost Ark.

>> Mike: I challenge you to watch it again. And notice how amazing the cinematography is.

>> Darin: Mark Hamill was in that.

>> Mike: They had, Yeah, and. And Willow and Wookie. They had. So everybody knows the scene when they're digging in the desert with, you know, when putting his hat on.

>> Darin: Yes. That's, That's.

>> Mike: I want a poster of that.

>> Darin: I do too.

>> Mike: But I was amazed. The cinematography in the jungle in the very beginning, there's a lot of shots where I'm pretty sure Mr. Spielberg was like, lying under an anaconda and they had, like, actual mist and flying through the air and Indy's walking through and they make, they're making sure they don't show his face and everything's in shadows. and then he walks into the light. It's amazing movie all the way through.

>> Darin: It is.

>> Mike: but I have some problems with, with it.

>> Darin: Oh, oh, okay, one.

>> Mike: Really?

>> Darin: you have a problem.

>> Mike: I have a problem that shows up twice. back in the day. Okay, then that's back in the day. It's problems. Yes. stupid.


There's a scene in the movie where Marianne gets into a basket

Anyway, so there's a scene in the movie. Spoiler for a 80 year old movie. There's a scene in the movie where Marianne, for whatever reason, gets into a basket. And you know, the monkeys jumping on the basket saying, she's here.

>> Darin: I hated that monkey.

>> Mike: And the guys grab the basket, they make it look like the basket because the monkey jumps off and they pick up that basket.

>> Darin: Right.

>> Mike: They put that basket in the back of a car.

>> Darin: Right.

>> Mike: And that car drives and then something happens and it blows up. And then Indy, which this is so 80s, he immediately, he sees that. He's like. And then the next scene, he's in a bar getting hammered.

>> Darin: Yeah.

>> Mike: And then you find out that Marianne survived. It's like, hold on.

>> Darin: Hey, what happened?

>> Mike: No, she didn't.

>> Darin: Uh-huh.

>> Mike: She didn't. She was. We saw the basket. We saw her in the basket she was in. We saw it get. We saw it get picked up and put on the truck. It's the same. It's another part, of the movie that annoys me is the wall that's, that's coming down at the beginning.

>> Darin: Yeah.

>> Mike: You throw me the idol. I threw you the whip.

>> Darin: Right.

>> Mike: It's like he's trying to climb up the thing. There's not enough time. It's going to close.

>> Darin: Yeah.

>> Mike: It's like the wall closes like five times.

>> Darin: Yeah.

>> Mike: Before, he goes under it. And that's. You know, people talk about how there's, there's things we've lost in making movies, things that are worse. Now, that's one thing that we do a lot better now. Now when Iron man is trying to fly through the thing before it closes.

>> Darin: Yes.

>> Mike: It looks they've got the timing down.

>> Darin: They do.

>> Mike: It's not closing like a hundred times before he gets there.

>> Darin: Right.

>> Mike: Or another one is. I can't think of another example. But you know what I'm saying.

>> Darin: Right.

>> Mike: They. Damn, that seems so good. When I was writing it down while I was talking to somebody and I should have been listening to him.

>> Darin: No, it's very good examples. I Hated the Monkey Raiders. The Lost Ark was amazing. The lady in Temple of Doom drove me absolute crazy.

>> Mike: But I didn't mind her that much.

>> Darin: I was. I was like, short Round, why you bring her here? Yeah.

>> Mike: Part of you.

>> Darin: Hey, Dr. Joe, no time for love. We've got company. She.

>> Mike: It was fun to get annoyed with her because Indy was annoyed with her the entire time.

>> Darin: Yeah. I guess she accomplished that goal. Like, she made you feel like Indy.

>> Mike: So my favorite scenes in that movie are the bridge scene. The first time you hear Indy go, oh, and, you know, Short Round. Oh. And he starts wrapping his thing.

>> Darin: She's like, he wrapped the thing? Yes.

>> Mike: They're wrapping their hands in arms and legs in the thing.

>> Darin: Yeah.

>> Mike: And she is perfect where she's just going, oh, my God.

>> Darin: Uh-huh.

>> Mike: Oh, my God.

>> Darin: Oh, my God.

>> Mike: He's crazy. He's nuts. He's like, oh, no, he's not nuts.

>> Darin: He crazy. He know nuts. He's crazy.

>> Mike: You can't have that without her.

>> Darin: No, you can't.

>> Mike: I love the Ella when she's running and screaming. Because the elephant trunk comes down.

>> Darin: Yes.

>> Mike: And Indy and Short Round are playing. He's like, you know what I can't stand about that? It's the noise, and she's running and screaming in the background.


I loved Last Crusade with Shia LaBeouf. It's a great movie

It's a great.

>> Darin: I know.

>> Mike: It's a great movie.

>> Darin: I know. M. And then I loved Last Crusade with. We named the dog Indiana, but in Latin. Jehovah starts with an eye. Yeah. You know, and then it went sour.

>> Mike: Then they went to Area 51, and I don't know what the hell happened. Shia LaBeouf showed up and a Transformer.

>> Darin: Oh, my God. I remember Libby and I, when we were. What was the fourth one?

>> Mike: Crystal Kingdom of.

>> Darin: The Kingdom of the Crystal Skull.

>> Mike: When Shia Laboon, Kingdom of Wahapa, when.

>> Darin: He was on that jeep and he jumped into the jungle and started swinging. Vine Divine. Divine. Away from the monkeys. The little red. Clearly. Clearly CGI monkeys. And he's swinging and swinging and swinging. He gets across the jeep. Had went up, taking a right.

>> Mike: Yeah.

>> Darin: And then went back down. And then he jumps out of the jungle back into the jeep.

>> Mike: Yeah.

>> Darin: And Libby and I started laughing the hardest we had laughed in years at that movie. Yeah. And, Yeah.

>> Mike: I remember when Indy put himself in the refrigerator.

>> Darin: Yes.

>> Mike: And the bomb blew up.

>> Darin: Yes. And I don't remember Spielberg still stands by that, by the way.

>> Mike: I don't remember who I know best was there. I don't know. I think it was just me and her and I remember leaning over and saying, can you do that?

>> Darin: Right.

>> Mike: Can you?

>> Darin: Is that you would break every bone in your. You might survive the bomb, but you would break every bone in your body.

>> Mike: It went very far. Yeah, it was, farther than a field goal kick.

>> Darin: Yes, yes, yes, it was.

>> Mike: And then he just rolls out of it. And I remember thinking about all this.

>> Darin: And then he puts on his hat.

>> Mike: Yeah, yeah, yeah.


Harrison Ford left the Emmy Awards early, and people were complaining about that

>> Darin: Speaking of Harrison Ford, he left the Emmy Awards early, and people were complaining about that. Well, half the people were complaining about that. The other half were like, he's 83. He can do whatever the hell he wants.

>> Mike: Yeah.

>> Darin: Like, if I was Harrison Ford and I won the award, I would leave.

>> Mike: because we watched.

>> Darin: Why hang around?

>> Mike: Because we.

>> Darin: He's been to 100 of those ceremonies.

>> Mike: Yeah. Because we watched Indiana Jones. I sent a clip, one of my favorite clips of Harrison Ford. He was on Conan o', Brien, and Conan had Jordan Schlansky come out.

>> Darin: Yes.

>> Mike: It's not what you're thinking.

>> Darin: No, it's.

>> Mike: He asked him an Indiana Jones trivia question to see if he could stump Harrison. Ford. He goes through the. In the first movie, you did this, and blah, blah, blah. What was the color of the original whip's fall? Who gives a.

>> Darin: That was better than when he broke the Lego, Millennium Falcon thing. Yeah. Harrison Ford's my idol. I love.

>> Mike: He's awesome.

>> Darin: So I wish he had won the Emmy Award. He didn't. I'm gonna check out the guy who beat him and see if that guy's really funny or not.


If you're not watching Daredevil on Disney, there's something wrong with you

>> Dave: This portion of our show is brought to you by Hills, where the toys are. Now back to you guys in the studio.

>> Darin: If you're not watching Daredevil on Disney, there's something wrong with you.

>> Mike: How many seasons are.

>> Darin: They had three seasons that were on Netflix, and then they brought it back. The mouse brought it back. Daredevil born again now. Oh, I, wanted to watch Daredevil Born Again because a couple of years ago, Libby and I tried watching Daredevil, and we liked it. And I don't know. I can't remember why we didn't keep watching it. We got distracted.

>> Mike: I did the shiny. I did the same thing.

>> Darin: Yeah, Something shiny was in the house.

>> Mike: I haven't seen it.

>> Darin: Yeah. So we went back and re watched the original three seasons of Daredevil. Now, this is like Quentin Tarantino presents Daredevil. Yeah, because there's that one. The language isn't bad, but, my God, the violence. There's blood everywhere.

>> Mike: Is it in the first episode where they have that long, extended single cut of him going back and forth down the hallway. He's rescuing the kid. You know what I'm talking about?

>> Darin: Yeah.

>> Mike: That's one of the most amazing scenes in the Any in tv, period.

>> Darin: Beating the. Out of every.

>> Mike: Yeah. All one shot.

>> Darin: Yeah. I mean, Daredevil. You don't mess with Daredevil. He. And so, anyway, so Libby and I are hooked on Daredevil. We watch season one, then with season two, and we were burning through it, we get to season three, I'm like, okay, great. Now we can watch Daredevil Born Again. So we turn on Daredevil Born Again. And I'm not going to spoil it for you because it's a new TV series, but something happened at the end of Daredevil on Netflix. And then we start up Daredevil Born Again, and we're like, wait a minute. My question is, what the hell? What's going on here? Why is this person blank when we thought this person was blank? Right.

>> Mike: Oh, did you watch the Punisher? Because the Punisher, he was in the Punisher.

>> Darin: Okay, I did not watch. Okay, so there's Crossed over, there's the Defender, Enders, there's Punisher, there's Echo. And then, one of the main characters in Daredevil showed up in the Hawkeye, series. There were things that, like, I didn't.

>> Mike: Even know Hawkeye had a series.

>> Darin: And it wasn't bad. It really wasn't bad. But I'm like, there's a ringing endorsement. I'm like, damn it, Disney. Damn it, Marvel. You guys have 40, 40 storylines that keep crossing over and crossing into this and crossing into that. And you have to. Now it's like you've got to watch all of these TV series to understand what's going on in the movies. And I found out that there was something that happened in Secret Invasion that discredited or changed. Something that I knew in Adventures. Endgame.

>> Mike: See, I would be willing to do all that for Breaking Bad if they had a spin off called Marie and her. I would watch that.

>> Darin: Yeah. Purple Rain with Marie, because she wears purple all the time. Breaking Breaking Bad. I want them to do another series where we find out, you know, when skyler and Walter Jr. I'm sorry, Flynn. When Flynn, gets all the money, that, you know, Walter gave to him through the, people at Gray, Gray, matter.

>> Mike: Elliot and Rachel, Sarah.

>> Darin: Elliot. Elliot and what's her name?

>> Mike: Elliot and Shoshana.

>> Darin: Elliot and Shoshana were supposed to give all the money to Flynn and his little sister Holly.

>> Mike: Hey, I have something fun.

>> Darin: You're listening to Irritable Dad Syndrome.

>> Mike: Yeah, I went on a trip and I visited a record store as I'm want to do.

>> Darin: oh, I'm starting to love going to records. Well, I've always enjoyed going to record.

>> Mike: And I. I go in there and I'm perusing. Now, long time listeners and you and everyone who knows me knows that I am terrible at advertising. The fact that we have a podcast.

>> Darin: That's right.

>> Mike: I will be wearing merch and someone will say, hey, that looks like an interesting shirt you have on there. What is that shirt? And I was like, whatever, get out of my face. Leave me alone. But I'm in the store and I noticed that the. He's, not the owner, but he's like a guy working in the store.

>> Darin: How do you know he's not the owner?

>> Mike: He may be. No, I know he's not because I've been to the store for years.

>> Darin: Okay.

>> Mike: He's not the owner.

>> Darin: Okay.


I tell him about the Venomous Beaver T shirt

>> Mike: But he's wearing a Megadeth shirt.

>> Darin: Megadeth.

>> Mike: Now, not only have I seen Megadeth, I've met Megadeth. And, we've talked about it on this show.

>> Darin: Yes.

>> Mike: So I was like, hey, that's cool shirt.

>> Darin: Them cows are out there banging in the field.

>> Mike: Yeah, cows are. Episode 111. It's good. Good episode.

>> Darin: Yeah. Good break.

>> Mike: And I mentioned. I said, hey, that's awesome. And he said, yeah, I saw him. I don't remember what he said. Anyway, I said, hey, I met Dave Mustaine. He was like, really?

>> Darin: Yeah.

>> Mike: And we start talking about it, and I'm telling the story, but the Venomous Beaver. All y' all go listen to episode 111 if you haven't already. I tell him about the Venomous Beaver T shirt, the fact I have a podcast. And as I'm telling him the story, I see his eyes start to trail away.

>> Darin: The way.

>> Mike: The way people. Like when some old dude is just talking about how, you know, like, his hip doesn't feel, is. Is a bit off or.

>> Darin: Of course I had to return fibromyalgia.

>> Mike: He couldn't give the first about me meeting Dave Mustaine. My podcast or Venomous Beaver. He wanted out of the conversation. So then I took this story and I just kind of. I wrapped it up really quick. And then I'm embarrassed. He's like, okay. And he goes back to the thing, to the counter, and he's probably texting. He's probably like, there's a psychopath in the store right now just boring me about his podcast. So I had already looked at one and what I wanted to look at, but I felt like I should be in there longer because if I just left right then it would make it even more awkward. So I just start going through and looking at different albums and stuff. People are coming and going, and I'm like, okay, I've been here a respectable amount of time. It's time for me to leave. And then he said, yeah, you know, I saw Megadeth, just last year up the street here.

>> Darin: Oh.

>> Mike: I was like, oh, really? He's like, yeah, at the civic center. And I'm like, okay.

>> Darin: Yeah.

>> Mike: Ah. They didn't really. They didn't come here when I was, you know, a kid or, you know, back in the day. He's like, yeah. So. And then I start telling him where I saw him at Riverbend. And I'm going into that, and his eyes start trailing off again, and he starts wandering away, and I'm like, holy.

>> Darin: Why are you starting a conversation with.

>> Mike: Like, he was free.

>> Darin: Just ask me a yes or no question.

>> Mike: He probably. I don't know if he reset. If he's like the guy in Memento where he forgot that I was boring the out of him and he could know there's a guy, or Dory. Was it Dory? Adora Finding Nemo a Dory? Dory.

>> Darin: Yeah.

>> Mike: Yeah. He just came. Came over and started the conversation again.

>> Darin: Just keep swimming.

>> Mike: Yes. So I had the same embarrassing interaction with the same person twice. Twice. And then I did leave immediately after that when I'm like, well, see you later. And he's like, okay.

>> Darin: Yeah.

>> Mike: And, I'm never going into that store again for the rest of my life. I'm very upset, though.

>> Darin: Now, where were we?

>> Mike: Oh, yeah.

>> Darin: Why would he bring up something. Why would he start a conversation with you the second time if he's not gonna.

>> Mike: here's what bothers me.

>> Darin: You're trying to sell him Emway products.

>> Mike: Here's what bothers me.

>> Darin: Me. Okay.

>> Mike: And I even mentioned that there were cows mooing in the rafters and Dave was looking. I think that's a funny story. Some of our longtime listeners enjoyed that story. But as I'm telling him, I, like, I felt like I'm getting a live view at what most listeners are doing when they play our podcast. Like, oh, here. You think they just gonna skip the thing?

>> Darin: Well, I think the people who listen to our podcast, I Doubt they've even gotten this far into this episode. I don't think they just walk away and let it keep playing.

>> Mike: We did have the one fan in, in, France that I'm still Convinced was a 90 year old woman that didn't know how to delete us.


We were downloaded by somebody in France. And we reached out like, hey, if you're our, ah, listener in France

>> Darin: Right.

>> Mike: Until. Yeah, like three years in.

>> Darin: Yeah. Like our first episode. 20 episodes. We were downloaded by somebody in France. Yeah. And we reached out like, hey, if you're our, ah, listener in France, let us know.

>> Mike: Hi.

>> Darin: We, you know, want to hear from you. Nothing? No, Nothing.

>> Mike: Nope.

>> Darin: Not a damn thing.

My oldest son is 21 and he still lives at home. And he wants to watch Game of Thrones

Now back to Mike and Larry.

>> Darin: I mentioned Game of Thrones earlier and, Mark Hamill was on Game of Thrones. My son, my oldest son is 21 and he still lives at home. And I'm trying not to embarrass him, like I do on a daily basis, but he was talking to me and Libby and he says, I'd like to watch Game of Thrones. Oh, and listen, I know he's 21. I know he's an adult. I understand that he is, like, old enough to watch R rated movies, but Libby and I, we had to talk to him. We're like, look, we don't care if you watch it.

>> Mike: We just don't want to be in the room.

>> Darin: I can't watch it with you. And he's like, what? Is it that violent? It ain't the violence.

>> Mike: And let's watch a Saw movie. It's fine.

>> Darin: Oh, he's seen all three.

>> Mike: The song, it's something about a, the, the boobs popping up on the screen and it's like, immediately everyone is uncomfortable.

>> Darin: Hello. Well, Libby had said, what if we, you know, we're both fans of the show. Yeah. I mean, the last season had a lot to be desired, but still a fan of the show. There was more great parts of that show than bad. Yeah, but Libby's like, what if we, what if we fast forwarded over the. The new season? No, you can't. You, you miss all this pivotal dialogue.

>> Mike: They have pivotal dialogue and then people are just humping in the back.

>> Darin: There's like eight naked ladies, a little person and a goat.

>> Mike: Ah, spoiler. It takes place with swords and stuff. And they'll have a pivotal scene and in the book the dialogue takes place in a dungeon with like a rat in the background.

>> Darin: Not a rat, eight hookers.

>> Mike: But in the show.

>> Darin: A little person in the show and a goat.

>> Mike: It's like girls, gone wild in the background. They're on trapeze. Yeah, it's.

>> Darin: Thank God.

>> Mike: There's no need. They have waterbeds. I didn't even know they had water beds back, back in. I guess in Westeros, you know, whatever, you got dragons, you might as well have a waterbed.

>> Darin: I didn't know they could do that. What are they doing? Good God.

>> Mike: Littlefinger, also Bish.

>> Darin: Yes.

>> Mike: He, I mean he runs a,

>> Darin: That was my nickname in high school.

>> Mike: He runs a brothel. Otherwise known as a brothel and a whorehouse. Yes. And he does that in the book. But he has the sense to not have all of his conversations. Not. They're not there in the book. But HBO looked at it. It's like, hey, we have a chance m to take Cinemax's previous glory away from them. And we can have every scene with this guy where he's talking about something and a boob flying in the background.

>> Darin: Right.

>> Mike: And it's just, it's just.

>> Darin: And you'll be like, the dragons are all flying through. It's like cool. That dragon's awesome. And then the next cut. There they are.

>> Mike: There's a nipple. I'll tell you. I recently reread the first book.

>> Darin: Oh, okay.

>> Mike: If you watch the first episode when they visit Winterfell, the King and Tyrion and all of them. Tyrion gets down with multiple ladies.

>> Darin: Yes, he does.

>> Mike: And it shows more than you're comfortable sitting through.

>> Mike: I reread the book. That is not in there. Why is that there? I know why it's there.

>> Darin: Oh I, yeah, I, I Exactly. Yeah.

>> Mike: But yeah, I don't know how you could. If they made a, a version of it where they would just had like blurries bit.

>> Mike: But then you'll be distracted. You see all these pixelated things flopping around in the back.

>> Darin: But anyway, again, maybe I'm prude. Maybe I'm a bad parent. Maybe I need to just let some stuff go. But I'm like, I can't sit there and watch that with my kid.

>> Mike: Could you imagine if Lord of the Rings were like that? If Frodo's up there trying to throw the ring in. And then Bouncy Belinda's hopping around in the back with.

>> Darin: With Sam banging a bunch of hobbits. Yeah.


I saw a meme. Sorry, you reminded me of a meme

>> Mike: I saw a meme. I. Sorry, you reminded me of a meme. Have you seen the memes where it has the. Dad. Dad says we're. We're not gonna get a puppy. And then the next scene, it's just dad with the puppies and he's like, laughing. And so it's so Boromir staring at, the hobbits. Looks mad. Like dad said, don't bring home any hobbits. And the next one is all the hobbits tickling him and he's laughing. He's like dad with the hobbit.

>> Darin: I did not say that.


M and M's needs to stop. Taco Bell needs to accept that

We haven't had a just stop on this episode in forever. Years ago we had one. And I'm going to revisit that. I, believe my just stop was addressed to the General Mills Corporation with their cereal. Cheerios. M M. Okay. They need to just stop with all the flavors of Cheerios. Because you can go down the aisle and there's like 22 different brands of Dew Baja Blast.

>> Mike: Cheerios.

>> Darin: Exactly. Mountain Dew. Yeah. And Mountain Dew needs to stop. Pop Tarts have lost their mind with like 40 some flavors of Pop Tarts.

>> Mike: Taco Bell just needs to accept that. They have beans, rice and beef.

>> Darin: Yeah.

>> Mike: Just.

>> Darin: Exactly. And stop. it. And be happy with that. Yeah. M M's needs to stop. Okay. M and M's. Excuse.

>> Mike: Jeez, I'm waiting for something to burst out of your chest.

>> Darin: I hiccuped and I think I threw out my back. M and M's needs to stop. I. A friend of mine on the Facebook posted this thing that M, M and M's is about to launch three new flavors. One of them is cherry chocolate cupcake.

>> Mike: What?

>> Darin: Gross. Lemon meringue?

>> Mike: No.

>> Darin: No, I don't think so. And then the last one was peanut butter cinnamon roll. M M's.

>> Mike: None of these things work.

>> Darin: None of these. I love lemon meringue pie. Okay. I love my. It's. They. Have you ever had a tasty cake? Kroger has tasty cakes. Holy crap. You can get a lemon tasty cake. Those are good. Those are really good. And that's what I'm going to eat. Or I'm going to eat a lemon meringue pie, But I'm not going to get lemon meringue in an M and M. No. Okay. M and M's.

>> Mike: We're a Christian.

>> Darin: That's right. That's not what.

>> Mike: We don't do that.

>> Darin: That ain't in the bible. M&M's needs to realize that the peanut, M and M, the old school peanut, M and M is the bomb. You can't touch it. You cannot go near it. For a longest time, they were, like, dominant. And then, Reese's Pieces came out with, E.T. and Steven Spielberg. You know, they reached out to M M's, but they turned them down for that movie. So they used Reese's Pieces. And then Reese's Pieces was like exploding ET's candy. Right. And then they were given M M M's a big run for their money. But Reese's Pieces just kind of fizzled. And, I mean, I'm sure they're still doing, business, but they're not doing the kind of business that they were. Yeah, it's like all you need is peanut, M and M. And then the chocolate M M's, because they used to call them plain and like. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. There ain't nothing plain about them. They're yummy.

>> Mike: It's so. It's. What do you got? I got chocolate.

>> Darin: I got chocolate.

>> Mike: Well, that's gonna melt in my mouth.

>> Darin: Not in your hand.

>> Mike: Right. So I put a candy coating on it, and now it doesn't melt in my hand.

>> Darin: Right.

>> Mike: And then they lived for years with that. That was back when, we came over to America. They had. The Pilgrims, had Eminem. And then somebody in the marketing department said, stick a peanut in that.

>> Darin: Right.

>> Mike: It took years.


M&MS were invented under Lincoln's presidency

An act of Congress, under Lincoln's presidency.

>> Darin: That's right.

>> Mike: They,

>> Darin: It was not a lot of people. Give him credit.

>> Mike: It was split, and Ferdinand Bertchis was the deciding vote. And they said, you in a target demographic.

>> Darin: Target market, you can't name Target. And Lincoln.

>> Mike: Okay. in Chicago, which wasn't even founded yet, but there were people grazing. Let's cut that out. In New York, which I think was.

>> Darin: That's where the Pilgrims settled.

>> Mike: That's where they.

>> Darin: The first American swipes New New York.

>> Mike: They're the Yorkshire terriers. And they came over.

>> Darin: Stop, stop, stop.

>> Mike: My point is, some guy in marketing said, stick a nut in that, put.

>> Darin: A piece after, huh? Uh-huh. Yeah. And those were amazing. Absolutely amazing. But it wasn't until, I think, when I was in college, 1984. no, I was in. I graduated high school in 88, so I was in college. So it was like 1991 was the first time I noticed that they had put those nasty almonds inside M M's Okay. And if you like almonds, if you want to get an M and M with almonds in it, that's fine. And I was okay with that. But here, lately they're losing their mind. They're putting and birthday cake and they had a peanut butter and jelly. M and M. And those weren't good. They need to stop. They have, they just need to stop.

>> Mike: Snickers is another one. They've gone. They've gone and reinvented a candy that already was here.

>> Mike: They reinvented the turtle.

>> Darin: Oh yeah.

>> Mike: Because they. They made pecan Snickers. And I got excited when I saw those and when I bought them, the person at the gas station said, all those are my favorite. And I was excited and I went to my car and I bit into it and I said, this is a turtle. And then another part of my brain said, yeah, you stupid. That's what a turtle is. That's why it's literally what it says.

>> Darin: Caramel and pecans and the thing.

>> Mike: Yeah, yeah, the nougat.

>> Darin: Yeah, nougat.

>> Mike: Or nougat, as it's the new gosh show that.

>> Darin: That's the.

>> Mike: Norse.

>> Darin: Anyway, M&MS, you need to stop.


Time now for the Gumby episode. For the past three weeks, we have talked about episodes

>> Dave: Time now for the Gumby episode. Review of the week.

>> Darin: Okay. For the past three weeks, we have talked about episodes of Gumby. And this particular episode I have found what may be my favorite episode of Gumby. I loved Gumby versus the Robots. I didn't think anything would compare to Gumby versus the Robots. Then Gumby went to the moon. I was on the moon. That was close. It was really, really close. I think somebody went to the moon. I think Gumby versus the robots. nudged out. Gumby goes to the moon. Just by a little bit. Yep, he's on the moon all right. I've got to go after him. The episode where they were looking for the rain spirits.

>> Mike: Rain spirits tell me to punish strange horse who not believe rain spirits.

>> Darin: Promise. Not my favorite, but this one, Gumby and the Glob. Okay, so Gumby and. Are you ready? Yeah. So Gumby and his horse, ah, friend Pokey, are in their house and Gumby is sculpting a giant mound of clay. Now this is ironic because Gumby's made of clay, Pokey's made of clay. And here's Gumby cutting with a knife, a very sharp knife.

>> Mike: It's got a mound of flesh.

>> Darin: Exactly. It's like he's making up something out of human flesh. Okay, so Pokey comes in, says, hey, Gumby, Are you done sculpting? Boy, I wish you'd cut that out, because I missed the. When we would go out and play. And he's like, well, I like sculpting. Leave me alone. He's like, well, what are you being a dick for? And they're like. They. They had. They're.

>> Mike: They're acting like Leatherface at this point.

>> Darin: Yes. So he's like, pokey, calm down. I'm almost done, making this sculpture. You know, I like sculpting. Leave me alone, you orange horse freak. So he's like, okay. Well, he gives him an ice cream, and Pokey has his ice cream. And Gumby is making this sculpture out of this giant. This. This big mound of clay is, like, taller and much wider than Gumby is. So it's a huge blob of, clay. This eye pops out. Okay. Of the glob.

>> Mike: This is a body horror show.

>> Darin: Exactly. And Pokey, who's famous for his eyes shooting out of his face. Whoa. Yeah, Gumby. What the hell? And Gumby's like, oh, my God. And this thing, this giant white glob of clay, turns into this monster. Two eyes pop out of the clay, and the mouth opens up, and it looks at him, and all hell breaks loose. This glob starts chasing Gumby and Pokey. So Gumby and Pokey, like, let's get out of here. And they run, and they jump in their jeep. Right?

>> Mike: And they have a jeep now.

>> Darin: Yeah, Gumby has a jeep.

>> Mike: Pokey's a damn horse.

>> Darin: He could have ridden on Pokey away, but. Yeah, yeah. See, you're thinking exactly what I'm thinking. We share the same brain. So they're running away in this jeep, and this glob is chasing him. And Gumby says, I'll lose them. And he just guns it and jerks the wheel to the left and goes down this hallway. and. Oh, I got him. We. We've, We've lost him. Now Pokey. And Pokey turns around, sure enough, the globe still behind them, because the glob stopped. And.

>> Mike: So they just created this monster, and they let it go, just ravaging the countryside. And they drive away in a jeep. Yeah, we're good.

>> Darin: Anyway, so the glob is on to them and goes the same direction. Is still chasing them. So Gumby thinks, okay, let me do this. He rams the jeep into this giant steel pole. The steel pole falls and lands on top of the glob and smashes it. It.


Gumby and Pokey have access to missiles. Yeah. Access to missiles

Right. It's thin as a nickel. And they're like, thank God we got, we got rid of that thing. Right? What's the Glob do? Grows right back up.

>> Mike: Like the T1000.

>> Darin: Yes. He just regenerates and then he starts chasing him again. So Gumby says, well, let's try this. So Gumby goes over to guess what? A, missile launcher. He launches, two missiles into the mouth of the globe. So you've seen Jaws? Yeah.

>> Mike: Smile, you son of a.

>> Darin: I thought this is where the glob explodes into a hundred million twelve pieces. No, the missiles just fizzle out inside the glob. They're duds. They're either duds or he somehow, undetonated them. Is that a word? It is now.

>> Mike: So I'm more concerned about Gumby and Pokey's access.

>> Darin: Access to missiles.

>> Mike: Highly.

>> Darin: yes.

>> Mike: Ordinance high. Ordinance.

>> Darin: Yeah, yeah, they have access to missiles.

>> Mike: And killer, robots.

>> Darin: Yeah.

>> Mike: And a spaceship.

>> Darin: In a spaceship. That's right.

>> Mike: Whatever world they live in. They put killer robots and rain spirits. And rain Spirits and missiles next to a heavily brain damaged gum based creature and his horse.

>> Darin: Yes.

>> Mike: Who rides around in jeeps.

>> Darin: Yes. So the steel pipe doesn't hurt him. The missiles don't hurt him. And they're like, what are we gonna do now? And Gumby says, I've got one last idea.

>> Mike: Liquid nitrogen.

>> Darin: You know what? That might have worked. Yeah. Gumby and Pokey run. They have this ability to run into books. If you run into a book, then you can go into the world of said book and the stories. So they run into this book something like Tales of the Old West.

>> Mike: There's boobs everywhere.

>> Darin: Because they ran into Game of Thrones. That's right. Close your eyes, Pokey. And anyway, so they run into this Tales of the Old west book. And Pokey's like, wow, this is great. I'm in my hometown and what are we doing here? By the way, he goes, we're gonna get Marshall Dill Pickle. So Marshall Dill Pickle is going to help us out. And they're looking and ain't nobody on the street. It's a ghost town, okay? It is empty. And Pokey's like, gumby, where's Marshall Dill Pickle? And he's like, well, he may be taking a break. It might be the end of this day. And he's usually in one of these bars here. And then they pan across all the bars.

>> Mike: They're going to get an alcoholic cucumber to save them from this self made T1000.

>> Darin: There is a candy Bar. There is a juice bar, Right. And then there's. Yeah, okay. And so anyway, Gumby's like, marshall Dill Pickle, we need your help. Yeah. And out walks Marshall Dill Pickle, who may be my favorite character. He's like, what, do an inner town right now. What's going on? He's got a. He's got like the. The 10 gallon hat. Yeah.

>> Mike: But I need to know, did the producers of the Gumby show make him out of clay or did they bring a real pickle?

>> Darin: Oh, no, no, no, no. He's made out of clay.


The Glob is a monster that Gumby has introduced to this plane

>> Mike: Okay.

>> Darin: All the characters in Gumby are made out of clay. Okay. So far. So he. He's a clay, And he's like you. What's going on? How come you're in here needing help? And he's got talks like an old fashioned cowboy. And you're. Well, now, what's the trouble there, son? And they're like, we need your help. This Glob thing is chasing us and we need your help. He goes, well, son, you and your friend better get off the street then. Cause somebody's liable to get hard. Gumby and Pokey run into this bar and then they drop down on the ground and they're looking through. You know, you got those, those swinging doors they're looking through underneath the swinging door. This is where Marshall Dill Pickle shows all of his bravery. Okay. My God. He gets in the middle of the street and he's got an ice cream in one hand and he's got his. And he's getting ready to draw his pistol in the other. And he tells the. The Glob, all right. Monster ain't wanted in this town. Now get on out of here before I have to shoot you. The Glob takes a look at him and his ice cream, and he starts charging at him. Oh. Marshall Dill Pickle draws his weapon. And this is where it's like a Quentin Tarantino movie. He fires nine shots into the globe. Bang, bang. The bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang. The Glob eats Marshall Dill Pickle eats him. Dill Pickle does not go down without a fight. He fires three or more times still inside the Glob.

>> Mike: Okay, okay.

>> Darin: And I'm like, damn. Ain't going down without a fight. Marshall Dill Pickle's a badass. The Glob eats Marshall Dill Pickle and then spits him out. Gumby and Pokey come out like, what's going on? They notice, Mike, that the Glob is staring at Their ice cream. And they're like, hold on a second. This is all one big misunderstanding. Yeah, the Glob's not trying to kill us. He just wants some ice cream. That monster ate my ice cream cone. And it was a super double dip, too. Hey, all the monster wants is our ice cream. So Marshall, Dill Pickle could have saved 12 bullets, and they could have just got him a scoop. Baskin Robinson.

>> Mike: Yeah.

>> Darin: Yeah.

>> Mike: Or blew his mind with Cold Stone Creamery.

>> Darin: And it ended happily ever.

>> Darin: Yeah, a monster eating glob. Yeah.

>> Mike: Somebody needs to take Gumby to prison.

>> Darin: No.

>> Mike: Pokey can probably end up in one of those, facilities for mentally disturbed horses. But Gumby needs to. Gumby.

>> Darin: Yeah. And again, Pokey's really no help at all. No, Gumby's the one driving into the steel pole. Yeah, he's the one launching missiles.

>> Mike: Yeah.

>> Darin: He's the one who says, hey, let's.

>> Mike: Go into this western, enter the codes with a hoof.

>> Darin: No.

>> Mike: Yeah, Gumby's got to be the guy that does all that stuff.
