EP. 369 — Double Trouble LIVE! w/ Rory Scovel & Jessica St. Clair

[00:00:00] Paul Scheer: In the immortal words of the late great Shah of Iran. No way. Yes way. We saw Double Trouble. So you know what that means?

[00:00:16] Music: [Intro Song]

[00:00:17] Paul Scheer: Hello people of Earth and hello people of Denver!

[00:00:26] You just heard the one and only John Ham, a Denver one man band, doing our opening theme song, laying down the gauntlet to every other city. We’ve been doing this show for 15 years. No one had the balls to say, let me come up there and sing the song.

[00:00:50] He did a great job. We’re excited to be back in Denver. It’s been over seven years and you know what? We had to bring something special, a movie that came out in 1992 starring Peter Paul and David Paul as Peter Jade and David Jade. And a little movie called Double Trouble. The IMDB Logline is

[00:01:19] “Muscle bound twins try to smash a jewelry smuggling ring.”

[00:01:24] That’s about it. Yeah, that’s all you need to know. That’s all you need to know that these are two giant men who are identical, not only in looks, but in personality. Honestly, can’t tell ’em apart. Um, tagline of the movie,

[00:01:43] “Twin Brothers. One’s a good cop. The other is bad news.”

[00:01:53] One thing that I think is great about this movie that I wanna bring up very early on is the writer of Double Trouble is also the writer of The Beekeeper, the Jason Statham movie, The Beekeeper.

[00:02:14] And this was directed by Jambe from PeeWee’s Playhouse, the head in the box. That’s not a bit, this was directed by Jambe. He also played the pterodactyl. Uh, worked a bunch with Peewee and Elvira. And I gotta say, in watching it, I was like, this movie’s not badly directed at all. Uh, I was into it. So that was John Paragon.

[00:02:45] Um, now to break down everything. We need my co-host. Please welcome to the stage, Mr. Jason Mantzoukas!

[00:03:03] Jason Mantzoukas: What’s up, Jerks!? Let’s go, Denver. Let’s go. I have to be cool. We’re at altitude. I will pass out.

[00:03:18] Paul Scheer: I really have been suffering already.

[00:03:21] Jason Mantzoukas: Just the walking out and a little jumping around and I’m like cooked. I’m like, should I get my inhaler?

[00:03:29] Paul Scheer: Uh, Jason.

[00:03:30] Jason Mantzoukas: Paul.

[00:03:32] Paul Scheer: How familiar are you with the Barbarian Brothers?

[00:03:36] Jason Mantzoukas: I’m a full zero for this. I started this movie up thinking I was about to watch a John Claude Dan Damn movie.

[00:03:45] Paul Scheer: Oh wow.

[00:03:46] Jason Mantzoukas: I had it in my mind. That’s what Double Trouble was. I was like, oh, I think that’s what, and I was like, whoa, whoa. What is happening? This, this was a fever dream. This made me uncomfortable. I felt turned on.

[00:04:03] Paul Scheer: There are so many things happening in this movie.

[00:04:05] Jason Mantzoukas: Wow. And also so few things happening in this movie. Well, it’s like the perfect movie of uh, of so much, so little, which is kinda the Barbarian Brothers.

[00:04:18] Paul Scheer: Would it surprise you that this is one of four of their films?

[00:04:23] Jason Mantzoukas: Done, boy. And we’re rolling on the other three right now. We’re not doing the show, we’re just watching the rest? Do they ever, do they ever do a movie where there’s only one of them but they keep swap or they keep swapping places?

[00:04:38] Paul Scheer: Oh.

[00:04:38] Jason Mantzoukas: I would like that if that exists.

[00:04:40] Paul Scheer: Well, how would you know? Um, here’s what I’ll say. The one that really piqued my interest is a film called Twin Sitters, where they are babysitters for a bunch of rich kids.

[00:04:52] Jason Mantzoukas: Okay. Why is it a thing that there’s a movie that has to happen for every big jacked action star that they have to contractually do a movie where they’re a babysitter or a nanny? Why is that a thing? The Rock, VIN Diesel.

[00:05:09] Paul Scheer: I think it’s just because. Kids are like, whoa.

[00:05:13] Jason Mantzoukas: It’s not a tumor. I mean, it’s not a babysitter, but it’s close.

[00:05:18] Paul Scheer: But even, even Dave Batista did one with a little girl. I think he’s done two. So, yeah, I don’t know. I think.

[00:05:23] Jason Mantzoukas: Why do we want that?

[00:05:25] Paul Scheer: Kids want big people.

[00:05:26] Jason Mantzoukas: Why, to protect them?

[00:05:28] Paul Scheer: Just to be like, whoa.

[00:05:30] Jason Mantzoukas: I, I, you know what? No. Know what, don’t give your kids to these big people. Right? Give them to me. Gimme those babies. Let me hold them. I’ll protect the babies.

[00:05:45] Paul Scheer: Well, you know, in our last episode, uh, our next co-host, she said, well, this movie went down easy for me because I like looking at abs. Well, guess what? You gotta double the abs in this movie. She is the co-host of the Deep Dive. She is a How did this get made? All Star, please Welcome Jessica St. Clair!

[00:06:17] Jessica St. Clair: Wow. Wow, wow. Thank you so much for having me boys.

[00:06:28] Paul Scheer: Jessica?

[00:06:29] Jessica St. Clair: Yes?

[00:06:30] Paul Scheer: Barbarian Brothers. Does this register to you at all?

[00:06:34] Jessica St. Clair: Uh, um, you know, I really thought that you guys were gonna do a lot of like futuristic trash can fires on me.

[00:06:43] Jason Mantzoukas: You’re welcome.

[00:06:43] Jessica St. Clair: This tour.

[00:06:44] Jason Mantzoukas: You’re welcome. There, there. I believe there’s not one trash can fire in the whole tour.

[00:06:48] Paul Scheer: Yeah.

[00:06:48] Jason Mantzoukas: You’re welcome.

[00:06:49] Jessica St. Clair: And during this movie, I thought. I wish.

[00:06:51] Jason Mantzoukas: I’ve never been hornier. Thank God I’m in a hotel room alone. That I don’t have to get out of.

[00:06:59] Paul Scheer: Oh, the fantasies you would have with.

[00:07:03] Jessica St. Clair: I thought, I wish a trash can would set on fire because it would be more interesting than watching this piece of shit. Now here’s the deal. I said during Kraven that I, that, that his abs saved that entire movie for me.

[00:07:18] Paul Scheer: Yes.

[00:07:19] Jessica St. Clair: I think it did for you too, Paul.

[00:07:20] Paul Scheer: Oh, absolutely.

[00:07:21] Jessica St. Clair: I think it did for you. And you love that hair. But.

[00:07:26] Jason Mantzoukas: St. Clair is deci. St. Clair is, let me be clear, sexually obsessed with Kraven and also keeps telling me that I wish I was Kraven.

[00:07:39] Paul Scheer: Therapist in the audience? You put it together.

[00:07:41] Jason Mantzoukas: Now, any therapist in the audience you wanna pipe up when Paul’s out there, I’d love to hear from you.

[00:07:48] Jessica St. Clair: All I know is I see Jason in, in the airport today, and he’s all just like. Like Kraven style.

[00:07:54] Jason Mantzoukas: I also bring my own throne wherever I go.

[00:07:57] Jessica St. Clair: No, but I’ll just say this. I like a hairless man. I like a man with abs. I do not like a man with a tiny waist and then a big old butt. I wanted big all over. Or not big at all.

[00:08:14] Paul Scheer: Oh, you see, I liked, I like that little tiny waist. And then you got that round thing in your face.

[00:08:21] Jessica St. Clair: Oh, you do get sprung, Paul, you do get sprung.

[00:08:26] Paul Scheer: Well, we will break it all down, but we have a very special guest. Um, this is somebody who I think is one of the funniest standups working. He is, uh, currently a Denver resident doing amazing comedy shows all around Denver. Uh, his special, uh, Religion, Sex, and a Few Other Things In Between. It’s hilarious. Check it out. If you have not seen it yet, please welcome to the stage, Rory Scovel!

[00:09:02] Rory Scovel: Thank you. Thank you for that.

[00:09:05] Paul Scheer: Welcome Rory. Well, well, well, I was excited to have you on the show, but more excited to have you for this film because it’s a real, like when we find these pockets of movies that you don’t know anybody in, but clearly this was a thing.

[00:09:22] Jason Mantzoukas: Oh, it, it is again, that we’ve gotten 15 years into this podcast and have never touched a Barbarian Brothers movie that I didn’t know such a thing existed until today. How did I get so lucky?

[00:09:36] Paul Scheer: Did you, did you know of the Barbarian Brothers?

[00:09:38] Rory Scovel: I I, I’ve seen their faces. Uh.

[00:09:43] Jessica St. Clair: In your dreams.

[00:09:43] Rory Scovel: I know.

[00:09:44] Jason Mantzoukas: Yeah.

[00:09:45] Rory Scovel: In my dreams.

[00:09:46] Jessica St. Clair: Yeah.

[00:09:47] Rory Scovel: If I have the right dinner, uh, they show up. I don’t know them, and I will never.

[00:09:55] Jason Mantzoukas: Well, none of us know them.

[00:09:56] Rory Scovel: Ever look into them again. This was it for me.

[00:10:02] Paul Scheer: Peter and David Paul, by the way, that’s the other thing that gets me about their name.

[00:10:07] Jason Mantzoukas: Whoa, fuck. Are these the Paul brothers dads? Are these Jake and Logan Paul’s dads?

[00:10:13] Paul Scheer: Uh.

[00:10:14] Rory Scovel: That’s right.

[00:10:17] Jason Mantzoukas: Whoa. Are these, these, are these the prime daddies?

[00:10:22] Paul Scheer: These are, these are the dads that changed the world with cool sons.

[00:10:27] Jason Mantzoukas: These are my Paul brothers right here.

[00:10:31] Rory Scovel: Og.

[00:10:31] Jason Mantzoukas: As as straight Gen X. These are my Paul brothers.

[00:10:35] Rory Scovel: Yeah.

[00:10:36] Paul Scheer: I really didn’t know where to, to even begin with this movie. ’cause it starts with like a limo driver Who’s late? Who’s picking up this guy now? He, we are, we’re led to believe he’s an actor who’s bad at his job. Little do we know big twist coming. This guy’s a stone cold assassin.

[00:10:55] Rory Scovel: Yeah.

[00:10:55] Paul Scheer: He kills more people than anyone.

[00:10:57] Jason Mantzoukas: But he straight up looks like, he’s like Jimmy Olson. He looks like he’s Superman. Superman’s friend, Jimmy Olson.

[00:11:04] Jessica St. Clair: Wondering, you guys would, guys would be the, um, experts, but has a, has a mild mannered ginger ever been an assassin? So when I see a redheaded gentleman, I don’t think stone cold killer.

[00:11:19] Paul Scheer: Right.

[00:11:19] Rory Scovel: A little too fresh faced too.

[00:11:21] Jessica St. Clair: Yeah, A little too fresh faced. And he has a little pony.

[00:11:23] Jason Mantzoukas: Everybody in the movie, ponytail.

[00:11:26] Jessica St. Clair: Everybody. Even when the rest of the hair is short pony.

[00:11:30] Jason Mantzoukas: Oh yeah. Well that’s my favorite guy. The guy that has like really short hair and then a ponytail in the back, who fights the, one of the Paul brothers in the factory afterwards.

[00:11:39] Jessica St. Clair: Yes.

[00:11:39] Rory Scovel: Yeah.

[00:11:40] Jason Mantzoukas: And I was like, this is a Gabrus part right now. A hundred percent.

[00:11:43] Paul Scheer: It kind of, it kind reminded me of John Candy’s stunt double. It’s like he, he had like a little bit of a mustache, but I was wondering about this assassin, because we meet him, he gets out of the car, he forgets his hat and he is, and he is just running around on the street. Rosehill. Rose Hill.

[00:11:57] I was like, this, this is lucky that this guy happens to be on the street. But then I was like, when I found out he was an assassin, I was like, is he that method of an assassin? Because he’s like, I’m an actor.

[00:12:08] Rory Scovel: Oh yeah.

[00:12:08] Paul Scheer: And I like, is he really going to.

[00:12:10] Jason Mantzoukas: Why was being late part of it?

[00:12:11] Paul Scheer: That’s what I’m saying.

[00:12:12] Jason Mantzoukas: Why was or.

[00:12:13] Jessica St. Clair: Yeah, like a backstory.

[00:12:14] Jason Mantzoukas: Or was he late like that? Like I was like, whoa, is this a choice or.

[00:12:19] Paul Scheer: That’s what I’m saying. I’m saying this guy is like a stone cold killer who’s also like. I like to get into my parts. I am a, I am a limo driver who is trying to be an actor. I got to leave my kids to do this audition, and I have to pick up this guy. He’s got a full backstory.

[00:12:33] Rory Scovel: And the actual actor pitched that he was supposed to be on time.

[00:12:37] Jessica St. Clair: Yes.

[00:12:37] Rory Scovel: And he goes, what if I’m late? And they were like, oh my God.

[00:12:40] Jason Mantzoukas: I would love it if the hit. If the hit man pitched it.

[00:12:43] Rory Scovel: Yes.

[00:12:43] Jason Mantzoukas: When they’re hiring him to take the hit, he’s like, if it’s cool with you, I’d like to be late.

[00:12:49] Rory Scovel: They’re like, wait, we gotta.

[00:12:50] Jason Mantzoukas: As long as you kill him, man.

[00:12:51] Rory Scovel: We gotta time it out with the funeral. He goes, I know, but what if I’m late?

[00:12:55] Jason Mantzoukas: Yeah. I’m thinking, I think I’m thinking and I’ve got an excuse. Um, I’m like, my kid was hurt, or.

[00:13:00] Rory Scovel: No, no.

[00:13:00] Jason Mantzoukas: I had an audition. Yes. All right. Go that.

[00:13:03] Paul Scheer: And then he’s always like, he’s always like, uh, boss, can I talk to you for a second?

[00:13:06] So I’m thinking for this, um, you know, I I, I’ve been trying to go, uh, vegan, right? So I’m, I’m hungry. And so like, so I’m gonna definitely have a thing where I’m like, oh, is that, is that steak or eating steak? And it’s like, yeah, we don’t need all the backstory money. Just, just kill.

[00:13:20] Jessica St. Clair: Shoot him.

[00:13:21] Jason Mantzoukas: I would’ve loved the movie if it went into that much detail about the mild-mannered ginger. Yeah. The MMG.

[00:13:27] Audience Member: The MMG.

[00:13:28] Rory Scovel: I’d also like to point out he could have turned around and shot the guy.

[00:13:32] Paul Scheer: Oh yeah.

[00:13:32] Rory Scovel: Before they even started the car.

[00:13:34] Jason Mantzoukas: Constantly.

[00:13:35] Jessica St. Clair: Yeah. Really.

[00:13:35] Rory Scovel: He didn’t have to do all that.

[00:13:37] Jason Mantzoukas: Constantly.

[00:13:37] Jessica St. Clair: Could we just talk that this actually is, is a, is a real bugaboo for me. If you cut out.

[00:13:44] Jason Mantzoukas: Add it to the list.

[00:13:45] Jessica St. Clair: There are so many driving shots.

[00:13:48] Paul Scheer: Right.

[00:13:48] Jessica St. Clair: If you cut out the B roll of driving, you would have a 15 minute film.

[00:13:52] Jason Mantzoukas: Okay. But. Now hear me out. No, hear me out. How would you know how people got from one place to the other?

[00:13:59] Rory Scovel: Yeah. Because it’s another story. That’s another story.

[00:14:02] Jason Mantzoukas: You say. Oh, what I, I just saw this fucking guy in jail. Now he’s at diamond town?

[00:14:06] Rory Scovel: Yeah. Yeah. And also if you know the streets, you’re like, is that the best route?

[00:14:10] Jason Mantzoukas: Yeah. Yeah.

[00:14:11] Paul Scheer: They definitely weren’t going to LAX the best route. I know that.

[00:14:14] Rory Scovel: They, yeah. When they got near the LA River, that guy should have been like, is this the way?

[00:14:19] Jason Mantzoukas: This is not the right way. And the guy.

[00:14:20] Rory Scovel: Are you gonna kill me?

[00:14:21] Jason Mantzoukas: The guy should be nervous. He’s got one of those metal suitcases handcuffed to his wrist. He should be on guard when they, they come out with a grinder. Roddy McDowell. Give it up for Roddy McDowell.

[00:14:33] Paul Scheer: Roddy McDowell.

[00:14:34] Jason Mantzoukas: Champ in this movie when they come out and they’ve like, they kill him and the guys come out and his, his, his beautiful aluminum, uh, zero Halliburton, uh, briefcase.

[00:14:43] This is, there will be a Zoox cubes episode in this, uh, um, because there’s backpacks.

[00:14:48] Jessica St. Clair: Please.

[00:14:48] Jason Mantzoukas: Um, diamond backpacks. Um, anyway, they’ve got a grinder and instead of grinding the, the just one link on the handcuffs.

[00:14:57] Rory Scovel: Yes.

[00:14:57] Jason Mantzoukas: They’re walking away with it.

[00:14:58] Rory Scovel: Yes.

[00:14:59] Jason Mantzoukas: They grind the whole case in half.

[00:15:02] Rory Scovel: Yeah.

[00:15:02] Jessica St. Clair: And it takes 15 minutes.

[00:15:04] Jason Mantzoukas: Why?

[00:15:04] Paul Scheer: Yeah, by the way, I mean, I’m probably the more sadistic person, like, just cut that fucker’s hand off.

[00:15:09] Jessica St. Clair: I thought that’s what I thought they were gonna do.

[00:15:10] Jason Mantzoukas: Wouldn’t that have been so much better?

[00:15:12] Jessica St. Clair: Yes.

[00:15:13] Rory Scovel: This was the driving shot of chopping off the thing.

[00:15:16] Jessica St. Clair: Yes.

[00:15:17] Rory Scovel: That guy pitched that by the way. Yeah, he was supposed to cut the hand off.

[00:15:21] He goes, hold on.

[00:15:22] Jason Mantzoukas: Hold on a minute. What if instead I take three times as long to make a horizontal cut all the way across?

[00:15:30] Rory Scovel: Yeah.

[00:15:31] Paul Scheer: I didn’t even know you could get into a briefcase that way. I guess it does make sense. Um, there is so much that goes on right away. I will say this, my grandma, who has since passed, a lovely woman, 97 years old, incredibly racist.

[00:15:44] Um, she, uh, worked in the Hamptons and occasionally in the Hamptons she’d have these run-ins with famous people. And one of the famous people that she worked, uh, that she bumped into was Roddy McDowell. And it was this picture of my grandma was up in her house because Roddy took the picture of my grandma and then signed it. So it’s a, a, a Polaroid of my grandma signed by Roddy McDowell.

[00:16:09] Jessica St. Clair: But not of him.

[00:16:10] Paul Scheer: Not of him, and not of her with him. And my grandma would tell the story about how, when he took that picture, he cradled her face.

[00:16:19] Jessica St. Clair: What?

[00:16:19] Paul Scheer: And said okay, I created 15 distinct personalities in Planet of the Apes.

[00:16:28] Jessica St. Clair: That is so fucked up, Paul.

[00:16:31] Rory Scovel: Yeah, that’s why I would, I wouldn’t want him in the picture either.

[00:16:34] Jason Mantzoukas: Whoa.

[00:16:34] Rory Scovel: Talking to me like that. You touching my face.

[00:16:37] Jessica St. Clair: My face. Why you get off my face. My face.

[00:16:40] Paul Scheer: My grandma was like, and he grabbed my face and he looked me right in the eyes and he said. Okay. I created 15 different personalities.

[00:16:48] Jason Mantzoukas: Imagine if someone, you had this incredible moment with someone that you had some sort of an experience. They shared a picture, a moment, they caressed your face. They came in close, and the thing they had to say was, I created 15 distinct personalities for Planet of the Apes. I created.

[00:17:10] Paul Scheer: And just.

[00:17:10] Jason Mantzoukas: What a weird thing.

[00:17:11] Paul Scheer: To put a, to put a time on it. This is late nineties, so.

[00:17:17] Rory Scovel: To put a timestamp on it, this is pre-planet of the Apes.

[00:17:20] Jessica St. Clair: God.

[00:17:22] Rory Scovel: To make it even weirder. No one knows what he’s talking about.

[00:17:26] Paul Scheer: You’ll know one day you’ll see.

[00:17:28] Rory Scovel: You’ll see

[00:17:29] Jason Mantzoukas: Kay.

[00:17:30] Jessica St. Clair: Disappears into a cloud of dust.

[00:17:32] Jason Mantzoukas: Kay, I created 15 different twin personalities for the Barbarian Brothers in Double Trouble.

[00:17:44] Paul Scheer: Now, this is all before we meet the Barbarian brothers. Uh, one of the Barbarian brothers, obviously a thief, but not a thief. A cat burglar.

[00:17:54] Rory Scovel: Yeah.

[00:17:54] Paul Scheer: Who is obsessed with cat. Like, like, like very much a cat woman. Like he’s drawing pictures of cats.

[00:18:01] Jason Mantzoukas: And he is, he’s very into like cat and mouse games. He’s doing a heist while calling the police on himself so they’ll chase him.

[00:18:09] Rory Scovel: Yeah.

[00:18:09] Jessica St. Clair: This was my favorite move when he did the, oh, I’m roll. You’re rolling. Wait, is that what,

[00:18:15] Jason Mantzoukas: Oh yeah.

[00:18:15] Paul Scheer: Yeah. He rolled up.

[00:18:17] Jessica St. Clair: I thought he was making like a, like a.

[00:18:18] Paul Scheer: A whisker move?

[00:18:20] Jessica St. Clair: No, no, like a camera.

[00:18:21] Rory Scovel: Like an old camera. To the camera.

[00:18:23] Jason Mantzoukas: Wait, you thought he was trying to insinuate movies in a game of charades?

[00:18:28] Rory Scovel: To a camera.

[00:18:29] Jason Mantzoukas: So every time you thought he was like.

[00:18:31] Jessica St. Clair: Like, you’re watching me. Well, the quality of the film is so bad. I have to say though, they did have.

[00:18:38] Jason Mantzoukas: Wait, were you in, I wish you were in your room and he did that and you were like, okay. Movie. Double Trouble.

[00:18:50] Jessica St. Clair: No, but I have to say I do think they had some good burns back and forth to each other.

[00:18:54] Paul Scheer: Oh yeah.

[00:18:55] Jason Mantzoukas: That was, I agree. ’cause that was, they, what’s interesting in the movie, obviously one of them is a cat burglar. One of them is a policeman who’s after the cat burglar. But what’s so strange is they hate each other.

[00:19:06] Rory Scovel: Yeah.

[00:19:07] Jason Mantzoukas: Just actually just the cop hates the cat burglar. The cat burglar seems to like giving it to his brother.

[00:19:13] Jessica St. Clair: No, but then it all comes out. It’s ’cause he was straight A student. Yeah. And he had no choice but to be bad.

[00:19:18] Paul Scheer: Yeah. So you did like it, you loved it.

[00:19:21] Jason Mantzoukas: Which, which one was your favorite?

[00:19:23] Rory Scovel: Yeah.

[00:19:24] Jason Mantzoukas: Which one? Favorite?

[00:19:24] Jessica St. Clair: Which one do you think was my favorite?

[00:19:27] Jason Mantzoukas: The bad boy.

[00:19:28] Jessica St. Clair: Yeah. I thought he was fun.

[00:19:31] Jason Mantzoukas: He was fun.

[00:19:32] Jessica St. Clair: I did think he was fun.

[00:19:33] Rory Scovel: No. Well, that was less abs though. You have to factor in. You get more abs from the cops.

[00:19:37] Jason Mantzoukas: Yeah, he, he was the one that, that wardrobe did not give a crop top to.

[00:19:42] Rory Scovel: Oh my God.

[00:19:43] Jason Mantzoukas: How I, and he was like, it’s cool if I wear this in every scene, right?

[00:19:46] Jessica St. Clair: For the entire month. He’s wearing that outfit every day.

[00:19:50] Paul Scheer: The fact that one character in this movie does not change his wardrobe for one scene, but it’s like, oh, but my.

[00:19:57] Rory Scovel: Multiple days.

[00:19:58] Jason Mantzoukas: My guess is they did that for us to tell them apart.

[00:20:02] Paul Scheer: Oh yes.

[00:20:03] Jason Mantzoukas: Right.

[00:20:03] Jessica St. Clair: That makes sense. Yeah. Yes. Or.

[00:20:05] Jason Mantzoukas: He’s always in that.

[00:20:07] Paul Scheer: Yes.

[00:20:07] Jason Mantzoukas: Because if they change much, we’re gonna have to do a exposition to be like, yeah, I’m the one that was in the Raiders.

[00:20:13] Rory Scovel: Yeah.

[00:20:14] Jessica St. Clair: That’s right.

[00:20:14] Rory Scovel: I mean, in one scene he’s just dressed as a police officer. We needed it that much to know. Oh, he must be the cop.

[00:20:21] Jason Mantzoukas: Oh. Oh, that’s the one. Okay.

[00:20:22] Rory Scovel: Oh, that’s the cop ’cause of the uniform.

[00:20:24] Paul Scheer: The literally. Beth, can we play scene four? This scene fucked me up because I was like, I’m confused. Scene four, this is when they are dressed the same. Oh wait, maybe, oh wait, maybe this is not, sorry.

[00:20:40] Rory Scovel: Oh, either way. Either way. If you ever have to shoot a gun at down at someone, it’s you. Yo shot, shot, shot.

[00:20:51] Jason Mantzoukas: The casual nature of gunfire.

[00:20:54] Rory Scovel: Oh my God.

[00:20:55] Jason Mantzoukas: Making no effort to aim. Nothing. I would love it if they cut now to an overhead and they were just like. Six dead civilians.

[00:21:03] Rory Scovel: Yes. This is what this actually started the phrase friendly fire.

[00:21:07] Jason Mantzoukas: Yes. Like this is an active shooter right here.

[00:21:12] Rory Scovel: Also, also not a cop.

[00:21:13] Jason Mantzoukas: Nope. In fact, a prolific criminal.

[00:21:16] Rory Scovel: A criminal.

[00:21:18] Paul Scheer: By the way, I’ve noticed even like the, uh, the nerdy cop that’s partnered with them, they all carry their guns very high.

[00:21:25] Rory Scovel: Oh yeah.

[00:21:26] Jessica St. Clair: Yeah. Poor witness.

[00:21:27] Rory Scovel: More like a baseball bat. Yeah.

[00:21:29] Paul Scheer: Yeah. It’s up, it’s like upper, uh, cheekbone in a higher, I’m like, how are they gonna get that gun down? They are not good at guns. Well, you know, I thought I had the scene where they’re at, the restaurant where they’re dressed the same.

[00:21:41] Jessica St. Clair: Oh yeah.

[00:21:41] Jason Mantzoukas: They’re talking in suits.

[00:21:42] Paul Scheer: Yeah. And in suits. And I was like, I don’t know who was who.

[00:21:44] Jessica St. Clair: Well, the way you knew was that the one who’s the, the crop top walked for some reason in a suit like this. Yeah. Like the suit made him, he walked in a suit. Yeah. Unable to bend his limbs.

[00:21:55] Paul Scheer: Yeah. But yet he is a guy who was wearing tight jeans.

[00:21:58] Jason Mantzoukas: Yes.

[00:21:59] Paul Scheer: And a crop top, which is not like a loose item.

[00:22:02] Jason Mantzoukas: How, how great would it have been if he got fed up with the suit and then just cut it? Cut it at the waist.

[00:22:10] Jessica St. Clair: That would be great.

[00:22:10] Jason Mantzoukas: You know, it just was like, okay, now I feel better.

[00:22:12] Rory Scovel: Yeah.

[00:22:13] Jason Mantzoukas: Because I just need this two inches peeking right through.

[00:22:18] Jessica St. Clair: Well, did you guys watch wrestling when you were little?

[00:22:20] Jason Mantzoukas: Okay, now I don’t know.

[00:22:21] Jessica St. Clair: Was too busy talking to Rory. What?

[00:22:22] Paul Scheer: They’re not, they’re not wrestlers.

[00:22:24] Jason Mantzoukas: They’re not?

[00:22:25] Rory Scovel: Did they ever do porn? Like that. Just that look is there.

[00:22:29] Jason Mantzoukas: Well, you look at this and you’re like, show this is this, this is my preferred White Lotus scenario.

[00:22:36] Jessica St. Clair: Big time. Big time.

[00:22:39] Jason Mantzoukas: I’d love it if the Barbarian brothers were in the next season of White Lotus.

[00:22:44] Where, where are they now? Huh?

[00:22:46] Paul Scheer: They, we’ll see. We’ll get to, we’ll.

[00:22:50] Rory Scovel: They’re here tonight. Ladies and gentlemen.

[00:22:52] Paul Scheer: The Barbarian, Babu. Babu. When they ran, when they both ran into subway tunnel. I laughed, I laughed so hard. Uh, the Barbarian brothers, Peter and David are fraternal twins who had a small bit parts, uh, falling in the careers of Arnold and Lou Ferrigno, but then they made their first film Barbarians.

[00:23:10] Jason Mantzoukas: Okay. Sorry, sorry. So they are bodybuilders, well, like Lou Ferrigno and Arnold you mean?

[00:23:15] Paul Scheer: Yes.

[00:23:15] Jason Mantzoukas: Did they come because, okay.

[00:23:16] Paul Scheer: They actually, where they got their start was in Rhode Island. Because they had their own gym called

[00:23:23] Rory Scovel: Local porn.

[00:23:23] Paul Scheer: P and D’s, house of Iron. So that’s.

[00:23:27] Jessica St. Clair: That’s the porn I wanna see.

[00:23:29] Jason Mantzoukas: How was, how is that?

[00:23:30] Paul Scheer: Yeah.

[00:23:30] Jessica St. Clair: I wanna, is that Jimmy and D’s House of Iron?

[00:23:32] Jason Mantzoukas: How is that not an eighties era. MTV show.

[00:23:37] Jessica St. Clair: Yes.

[00:23:37] Paul Scheer: By the way, that might be a good shirt for tonight. P and D’s House of Iron.

[00:23:40] Jessica St. Clair: Yes.

[00:23:40] Paul Scheer: Rhode Island. Um, before this movie, their biggest claim to fame was that when they were nominated for a worst newcomer at the Raspberry Awards, the Golden Raspberry Awards, they were the first actors to ever attend the ceremony.

[00:23:56] Jessica St. Clair: That’s cute. That is great.

[00:23:57] Paul Scheer: Yeah. Halle, Halle Berry has done it. Now, Francis Ford Coppola has done it. Uh, but they lost, they actually lost to a arm wrestler from the, from the Stallone movie Over The Top.

[00:24:08] Jason Mantzoukas: Really?

[00:24:09] Rory Scovel: Does that feel good? Like when you lose that night, are you like, oh yeah.

[00:24:12] Jason Mantzoukas: Do you think, but do you think they only lost ’cause they split the vote?

[00:24:18] Probably, by the way, I loved them.

[00:24:21] Paul Scheer: Oh, me too.

[00:24:22] Jason Mantzoukas: I found them so

[00:24:23] Jessica St. Clair: They were charming.

[00:24:24] Jason Mantzoukas: Watchable.

[00:24:25] Jessica St. Clair: They were charming.

[00:24:26] Jason Mantzoukas: I found them infinitely watchable. ’cause I was like, what’s up?

[00:24:30] Jessica St. Clair: Like what’s up with these brothers?

[00:24:32] Jason Mantzoukas: I felt like they would block the scene and they’d just be standing off being like, blah, blah, blah. And someone would just push them in. They’d be like, what? Okay. It felt like they were improvising. It felt like maybe the movie was a prank being pulled on them.

[00:24:49] Rory Scovel: Yeah.

[00:24:50] Jessica St. Clair: Yeah.

[00:24:51] Jason Mantzoukas: They felt so organic and in the moment that I was like, these guys are either geniuses or they have no idea what’s going on.

[00:24:57] Paul Scheer: Yeah. I, that’s what I’m saying. This movie was not badly directed and finely acted. I mean, like everyone’s like knows what they’re doing. Yeah. And it’s fun. Like even that guy, who is like their nerdy.

[00:25:08] Jessica St. Clair: Whitney?

[00:25:08] Rory Scovel: Whitney.

[00:25:09] Paul Scheer: Whitney. Whitney. Who?

[00:25:10] Jessica St. Clair: Justice. Justice for Whitney. Justice for Whitney because that guy, he, all he does is try to,

[00:25:17] Jason Mantzoukas: Oh wait, there’s a guy dressed as Whitney.

[00:25:20] Paul Scheer: Yes.

[00:25:20] Jessica St. Clair: Oh my god, I love him so much.

[00:25:22] Jason Mantzoukas: Get house lights? Can we get.

[00:25:26] Jessica St. Clair: I wanna marry this guy.

[00:25:26] Jason Mantzoukas: Yeah. Stand up again. Stand up again.

[00:25:28] Paul Scheer: I gotta get a picture of Whitney. Come on.

[00:25:30] Jessica St. Clair: I salute you sir. I salute you. Come.

[00:25:33] Jason Mantzoukas: Are there any other Whitneys in the room?

[00:25:35] Jessica St. Clair: I salute you, sir.

[00:25:37] Paul Scheer: Um, I wanna just give justice to Whitney. Cause Whitney is paired with them. He does chill. The, uh, the, the method actor, uh, murderer. Murderer. Yeah. And at one point he is like, should I go call for help? And he is like, yeah. And he runs away. And the, the Barbarian brother’s like. Dick.

[00:25:54] Jessica St. Clair: Yeah, what a dick.

[00:25:54] Paul Scheer: Like, what, why?

[00:25:56] Jessica St. Clair: Like all he does is save their life over and over and over again.

[00:26:00] Paul Scheer: It was a nice moment. He wasn’t.

[00:26:01] Rory Scovel: He literally just saved them. Dick.

[00:26:02] Jason Mantzoukas: Well, they’ve got like big bully energy.

[00:26:05] Jessica St. Clair: Yeah.

[00:26:06] Jason Mantzoukas: Like they’re bullying each other.

[00:26:08] Rory Scovel: Yeah.

[00:26:08] Paul Scheer: Right.

[00:26:08] Jason Mantzoukas: They’ve got like a real, so to me they felt like they were just gonna be like, hazing Whitney.

[00:26:13] Rory Scovel: Yeah.

[00:26:14] Jason Mantzoukas: The whole time.

[00:26:14] Rory Scovel: Well, I gotta, I gotta say that’s true to the book. The book that that’s, he was, Whitney was that, and they were that to Whitney. And so to see that on screen and go, that’s hard to translate, but they did it.

[00:26:28] Jason Mantzoukas: You and you, you read it in the original French.

[00:26:30] Rory Scovel: I, that’s exactly right. Yeah. Dub, there’s so many iterations of it. It’s biblical really.

[00:26:40] Jason Mantzoukas: It’s a ca, it’s a Canin and Abel fable. It’s, it’s a, it’s a Canin and Abel right here.

[00:26:44] Paul Scheer: I mean, honestly, even trying to tackle a subject matter, it’s like we all know it, you know? So.

[00:26:49] Jason Mantzoukas: What’s, you know what’s funny is I just remembered in the scene where they’re in the apartment and they trap the guy under the weights. When they come back and find his throat is slit, they go, take Whitney’s pulse. And when upon discovering that he is alive, they’re like, ah, shit.

[00:27:05] Rory Scovel: Yeah, he’s alive.

[00:27:06] Jason Mantzoukas: I was rooting for this other police officer.

[00:27:09] Jessica St. Clair: To die.

[00:27:10] Jason Mantzoukas: To be dead.

[00:27:11] Jessica St. Clair: Who’s done nothing but help them.

[00:27:13] Rory Scovel: Yeah.

[00:27:13] Jason Mantzoukas: What?

[00:27:13] Paul Scheer: Nothing but help. Although I do think he went to a bad doctor because he just got bunked on the head and they wrap him up like a mummy.

[00:27:20] Jason Mantzoukas: Yeah. Too much.

[00:27:20] Rory Scovel: Yeah.

[00:27:21] Paul Scheer: Like, I don’t even know why you would. Even need to wrap a concussion. Yeah. It doesn’t feel like that’s an answer to it.

[00:27:26] Rory Scovel: Yeah. I don’t think that’s how you do it.

[00:27:27] Paul Scheer: It’s like a Bugs Bunny wraps a concussion.

[00:27:29] Jessica St. Clair: Yeah.

[00:27:29] Paul Scheer: The beginning of the movie when the cap burglar is cap burglar, they call in. The cop brother who seems to be working some sort of vice because they’re not in a police uniform.

[00:27:40] Rory Scovel: Yeah.

[00:27:40] Paul Scheer: He’s with a woman and a, and a.

[00:27:42] Jason Mantzoukas: His partner.

[00:27:43] Paul Scheer: His partner who I believe.

[00:27:45] Jessica St. Clair: Careful.

[00:27:48] Rory Scovel: I was gonna say fall.

[00:27:50] Jessica St. Clair: Careful.

[00:27:50] Rory Scovel: I, I feel the, the temperature of the water shifting.

[00:27:53] Jessica St. Clair: Careful, Paull.

[00:27:54] Paul Scheer: I, I, well, I thought that she was undercover as a sex worker.

[00:27:59] Rory Scovel: Okay.

[00:28:00] Jessica St. Clair: Just because a woman wears a pair of platform heels that don’t fit her.

[00:28:04] Rory Scovel: As a police officer.

[00:28:05] Jessica St. Clair: Cause her a lot of problem walking, does not mean she is a street walker at all.

[00:28:10] Paul Scheer: Well, I just thought that they were, they looked like they both were not on duty and they looked like they were in deep under, like, it wouldn’t have been like, let’s call ’em the vice squad for this. It’s like.

[00:28:19] Jason Mantzoukas: Well that’s, I couldn’t make heads or tails. They never appear, uh, in, in any kind of police wear in any kind of, nobody is dressed like a police officer.

[00:28:28] Jessica St. Clair: Aren’t they undercover cops?

[00:28:29] Paul Scheer: I think so, and that’s, I think.

[00:28:30] Jessica St. Clair: Do undercover cops dress in street clothes?

[00:28:33] Jason Mantzoukas: Yes.

[00:28:33] Jessica St. Clair: Or when is it? Only when they’re on the beat? On, they’re in the office.

[00:28:38] Jason Mantzoukas: What do you think the beat is?

[00:28:39] Jessica St. Clair: We out in the streets being undercover.

[00:28:43] Jason Mantzoukas: Okay, but.

[00:28:43] Rory Scovel: Have you ever like seen undercover cops?

[00:28:46] Jessica St. Clair: Nope. Nope. Because they’re so undercover, you know, you wouldn’t know.

[00:28:50] Jason Mantzoukas: Okay.

[00:28:50] Rory Scovel: Well, you know, they, they always look so slobbish and I feel like that is such a tell of what they think of us.

[00:28:56] Jason Mantzoukas: Yeah.

[00:28:56] Jessica St. Clair: Yeah.

[00:28:57] Rory Scovel: That cops are like, we gotta blend in with them. What, oh, what should I wear? Dress like shit.

[00:29:01] Jessica St. Clair: Yeah.

[00:29:02] Jason Mantzoukas: Here’s, but now here’s what I’ll, here’s what I’ll, this is maybe the one area with which I agree with the police. We’re slobs.

[00:29:10] Jessica St. Clair: Yeah, yeah.

[00:29:11] Jason Mantzoukas: The world they are living in is full of slobs.

[00:29:14] Rory Scovel: They’re right. Okay, got it.

[00:29:14] Paul Scheer: But here’s the thing, we find out he is not undercover because he wears that outfit all the time.

[00:29:20] Jessica St. Clair: Yeah.

[00:29:20] Paul Scheer: That is his normal, that’s his normal clothes. So I guess he just shows up to work. I guess maybe that’s his norm.

[00:29:26] Jessica St. Clair: As himself.

[00:29:27] Jason Mantzoukas: Yeah. I mean, he doesn’t appear to be a police officer at all.

[00:29:31] Rory Scovel: Yeah.

[00:29:31] Jason Mantzoukas: Like it, it surprised me that he was, and it surprised me consistently that the police continued to keep him in their employed.

[00:29:39] Rory Scovel: Yeah.

[00:29:39] Jason Mantzoukas: Because in no way, shape, or form does he do any good police work at all.

[00:29:44] Rory Scovel: Now let me, when you say that, are you saying like when he was typing and kind of couldn’t, and he was like, ah, that’s your whole stomach ’cause I fucking quit?

[00:29:52] Or do you mean when he just sacrificed his kitchen sink to be where a cat shit?

[00:29:57] Jason Mantzoukas: Okay.

[00:29:58] Rory Scovel: Or do you mean when he goes home alone and decides it’s time to work out?

[00:30:03] Jason Mantzoukas: Yes.

[00:30:04] Rory Scovel: And then put those clothes back on?

[00:30:08] Jason Mantzoukas: Yeah. All of the, all of the above.

[00:30:11] Paul Scheer: I, I need to break down the cat moment because he is gifted a cat because, he was called in on a, like, it wasn’t like, he hasn’t been like hunting a cat burglar. Yeah. It was like, Hey, can you get down to this building? He did. He didn’t catch him. And then they gave him a cat, and then that made me go.

[00:30:32] Jason Mantzoukas: But when they delivered it, they, they really lean into it. They’re like, we heard you were chasing after a cat burglar. And I was like, honest to God. Kill yourselves.

[00:30:45] Rory Scovel: Yeah. Yeah.

[00:30:47] Jason Mantzoukas: Every, everybody, this is awful.

[00:30:49] Rory Scovel: Yeah. But that crushed. You watched, I mean, watch that scene again. That line crushed.

[00:30:54] Jason Mantzoukas: Oh yeah.

[00:30:54] Paul Scheer: Oh, when they were, were testing this movie, dials went up. People were like, yeah.

[00:30:58] Jason Mantzoukas: And we are to believe the, the, the captain later. The captain later played by Scotty from Star Trek. Oh, Jimmy Deon.

[00:31:05] Paul Scheer: Excuse my voice. I’m sorry. I was screaming at assholes all day.

[00:31:10] Jason Mantzoukas: I’m giving her all I can. Um, no.

[00:31:13] Paul Scheer: My first sip of beer with James.

[00:31:15] Jason Mantzoukas: Really?

[00:31:15] Paul Scheer: Yes. I was at.

[00:31:17] Jason Mantzoukas: How old were you?

[00:31:18] Paul Scheer: Not of drinking age. I was at a Star Trek convention with my dad. And I and my dad’s like, oh look, there’s Scotty. And we were in the Penta Hotel in New York City and he was drinking a beer and we waved and he’s like, come on over. And we sat down at the table and he’s like, you ever have one of these? And I said, no.

[00:31:36] Jessica St. Clair: Not right. Not right.

[00:31:37] Paul Scheer: And then I took a sip of beer from, uh, from Scotty, it was the best.

[00:31:41] Jason Mantzoukas: Yeah.

[00:31:41] Jessica St. Clair: Yeah. I think he might have been grooming you, Paul.

[00:31:44] Paul Scheer: And to, and then he fucked me.

[00:31:46] Rory Scovel: You were getting space groomed.

[00:31:48] Jessica St. Clair: Do you know how many chapters.

[00:31:49] Jason Mantzoukas: Book two, book two.

[00:31:50] Jessica St. Clair: Chapters of Paul’s book could not be published? ’cause they were too sad.

[00:31:54] Jason Mantzoukas: No. I think.

[00:31:55] Paul Scheer: Now to make.

[00:31:55] Jason Mantzoukas: No, no, I to.

[00:31:56] Paul Scheer: To make the transporter work. I just have to put this in your ass.

[00:32:00] Jason Mantzoukas: I think the only, the only reason that story didn’t make it into the book is you don’t think it’s traumatic.

[00:32:06] Paul Scheer: Yeah. That’s it.

[00:32:07] Rory Scovel: Yeah. That was just run of the mill meet a celeb..

[00:32:09] Jessica St. Clair: That’s just, that’s just a Tuesday around here.

[00:32:11] Jason Mantzoukas: That’s in the, that’s in the good stuff book.

[00:32:14] Rory Scovel: Where was your dad? Your dad was like, do what he says, boy. He says, drink it. You drink it.

[00:32:19] Jason Mantzoukas: You beam it up.

[00:32:20] Rory Scovel: They have space beer.

[00:32:21] Jason Mantzoukas: Beam that beer up to your lips.

[00:32:23] Paul Scheer: If an original member of Star Trek gives you a drink, you’ve gotta take it.

[00:32:27] Rory Scovel: I agree with that, actually.

[00:32:28] Jason Mantzoukas: To that end, Denver, I will be in bars for the rest of the night and tomorrow offering beers to children, only.

[00:32:37] Jessica St. Clair: Beers for babies.

[00:32:40] Paul Scheer: They, so they give him this cat. He takes this cat home. And immediately his like he stops to get kitty litter.

[00:32:47] Rory Scovel: Yeah.

[00:32:47] Jessica St. Clair: Yeah.

[00:32:48] Jason Mantzoukas: But not food.

[00:32:48] Paul Scheer: Not food.

[00:32:49] Jessica St. Clair: Is that baby food?

[00:32:50] Jason Mantzoukas: It baby food.

[00:32:51] Jessica St. Clair: Or mayonnaise. I couldn’t tell.

[00:32:52] Jason Mantzoukas: It’s baby. It’s Gerber. It’s Gerber Baby food’s.

[00:32:56] Jessica St. Clair: Gerber babies. Okay.

[00:32:57] Paul Scheer: They love it. They love it.

[00:32:59] Rory Scovel: 92 was different.

[00:33:00] Jason Mantzoukas: It’s man, it’s mayonnaise for babies.

[00:33:02] Paul Scheer: They always said most babies first meals are BLTs. You had to always, yeah.

[00:33:06] Rory Scovel: Yep.

[00:33:07] Jessica St. Clair: But yeah, you’d think the store you go to for kitty litter would also sell cat food.

[00:33:12] Jason Mantzoukas: Yeah.

[00:33:12] Rory Scovel: Sorry. All we got is baby mayonnaise.

[00:33:14] Jason Mantzoukas: Also. My guess is they have litter boxes. Now, I guess is if they’ve got the litter, they might have a litter box.

[00:33:21] Rory Scovel: It was 10 bucks and he was just like, nice try bud. I’m not buying that shit.

[00:33:25] Jason Mantzoukas: Nice. Try the cat can shit in the sink just like I do.

[00:33:30] Rory Scovel: Oh, did you notice the sink didn’t have a faucet?

[00:33:33] Paul Scheer: Yeah, it was this. Alright.

[00:33:36] Jessica St. Clair: Talk about, about the detective work. Rory. Good for you.

[00:33:39] Paul Scheer: Alright, so this movie has one of my favorite moments in it, and I apologize to Denver because it’s gonna be very specific to the four of us.

[00:33:48] Jason Mantzoukas: Okay, so you guys all can leave for a minute.

[00:33:50] Paul Scheer: Leave for one second.

[00:33:51] Rory Scovel: Quick timeout.

[00:33:52] Paul Scheer: Um, when, when his partner is murdered at the train station, the next morning they cut to like the investigation and they are at Travel Town, which is, which is at Griffith Park, which is a kids’ train park where they have abandoned trains like, and kids can run around.

[00:34:08] And I was like, they’re just shooting this at a kid’s park. And they shoot it in a way where it’s like. It doesn’t look super weird that there’s like an old 1910 train right off to the side. Like they couldn’t even afford to be in the train yards.

[00:34:22] Jason Mantzoukas: Nope.

[00:34:22] Rory Scovel: Scott, Scotty, Scotty from Star Trek was like, how are we on locations? I might know a place.

[00:34:28] Jason Mantzoukas: I got, I know we shot a ton of Star Trek all over this city. You need trains? Yeah. There’s a museum back there.

[00:34:36] Paul Scheer: It was, it was, I was laughing. It was like, there are way too many trains to be there. And they were like trying to desperately show it’s not a kid.

[00:34:41] Jason Mantzoukas: No. She is meeting her CI who is dead at a train that is legitimately from the 18 hundreds.

[00:34:48] Rory Scovel: Yeah, that’s right.

[00:34:49] Paul Scheer: And by the way.

[00:34:50] Jason Mantzoukas: Like she, that literally like made its way across America.

[00:34:54] Rory Scovel: Yeah.

[00:34:54] Paul Scheer: And she’s meeting this guy in the middle of night. In the middle of night. He is wearing sunglasses. Like, what did he say? Meet me. I’ll be sitting on a train in the middle of the train track, right?

[00:35:04] Rory Scovel: Yeah.

[00:35:05] Paul Scheer: Like, Hey, I’m totally clean, I’m clean now I got a regular job.

[00:35:08] Just meet me in the, at the middle of the night. Like, yeah, he’s no, and.

[00:35:11] Jessica St. Clair: A lot of red flags.

[00:35:12] Paul Scheer: It’s a lot of red flags. Lot.

[00:35:14] Rory Scovel: Let the streetlights, red lights illuminate our interaction.

[00:35:16] Jessica St. Clair: Yeah.

[00:35:17] Paul Scheer: And she’s like, oh, you’re on the stuff again. Like she’s upset with them at first.

[00:35:22] Jason Mantzoukas: She’s rooting for him.

[00:35:23] Paul Scheer: Yeah. Well, she’s gonna date him. I mean, I think that they did a good job of saying like.

[00:35:27] Jason Mantzoukas: Wait. She’s not trying to date him?

[00:35:28] Jessica St. Clair: No, she’s.

[00:35:29] Jason Mantzoukas: She’s married. She was married.

[00:35:30] Rory Scovel: She was married.

[00:35:31] Jessica St. Clair: She was in a relationship.

[00:35:31] Jason Mantzoukas: Married. She’s married.

[00:35:32] Jessica St. Clair: Wait a second.

[00:35:33] Paul Scheer: I thought that wait. Date, right?

[00:35:34] Jessica St. Clair: Wait a second. I thought that she and Barbarian were, were in love.

[00:35:40] Jason Mantzoukas: No, they are. No, they are. No her, her, they are.

[00:35:43] Jessica St. Clair: Well fucking turn on me.

[00:35:44] Jason Mantzoukas: I believe they are cop partners because doesn’t the person who reports that she’s dead say her husband will be, will be. Will.

[00:35:52] Jessica St. Clair: I thought that’s why he was so, so distraught.

[00:35:54] Rory Scovel: Don’t you, don’t you remember when the the, the partner leans in. He is like, I’ll get ’em, I’ll get whoever did this.

[00:35:59] Jason Mantzoukas: Yeah.

[00:35:59] Rory Scovel: And then the other guy is like, the other shitty cop was like, let me see that toxicology, she was literally two feet away from the husband.

[00:36:08] Jessica St. Clair: Not nice.

[00:36:09] Rory Scovel: The grieving husband. I bet she was a junkie.

[00:36:13] Jason Mantzoukas: Yeah. That’s why the barbarian brother punches her.

[00:36:15] Jessica St. Clair: Okay, that makes sense.

[00:36:16] Jason Mantzoukas: Punches the guy from son of the beach.

[00:36:18] Rory Scovel: Which also I think maybe is when you then see a swing set.

[00:36:22] Jason Mantzoukas: Yes, yes.

[00:36:23] Paul Scheer: Yes.

[00:36:24] Jason Mantzoukas: You very much do.

[00:36:25] Jessica St. Clair: Yes. He gets thrown into a swing set.

[00:36:28] Jason Mantzoukas: Insert. It’s the shot of just a swing set. And he flies into it.

[00:36:32] Rory Scovel: Yeah.

[00:36:33] Jessica St. Clair: Yes.

[00:36:33] Paul Scheer: They tried so hard to make it a train station, but they’re like, we need this punch scene. I mean, we got.

[00:36:39] Rory Scovel: We gotta do it.

[00:36:40] Jason Mantzoukas: We’ll do it in front of the swings, but we’re supposed to be the train. Nobody cares.

[00:36:43] Rory Scovel: Oh, there’s a lot of swing sets near train stations.

[00:36:46] Jason Mantzoukas: Yeah, we, we used to play all the time on train swings.

[00:36:53] Jessica St. Clair: The other thing is there’s a lot of crazy shots. Like when he’s talking to the police chief, it’s that closeup of his face and then it fades into his face and then it’s back to his face. Like I, who was it that directed it again?

[00:37:04] Paul Scheer: Uh, Jambi from PeeWee’s, uh, Playhouse.

[00:37:07] Jessica St. Clair: Okay. Who I feel like he was like, you know what, this is a stupid movie, but I’m gonna do some artistic things.

[00:37:13] Rory Scovel: Well, i’m gonna have a good time.

[00:37:15] Jessica St. Clair: I better have a good time and I’m gonna push myself.

[00:37:17] Paul Scheer: I, I felt like the only time that he made a mistake was when he cuts from one brother to the other brother that I found confusing. ’cause it’s like, you can’t cut to this thing.

[00:37:25] Jason Mantzoukas: This coverage is strange.

[00:37:26] Paul Scheer: Yeah.

[00:37:27] Jason Mantzoukas: You can’t quite make sense of it.

[00:37:28] Paul Scheer: Right. ’cause it does feel like you’re that guy who works at the gym like, where did I just go? By the way, that’s a bit that they do.

[00:37:34] Jason Mantzoukas: Love it.

[00:37:35] Paul Scheer: You know that’s a bit that they’ve done their whole life.

[00:37:37] Jason Mantzoukas: Gimme six more of that.

[00:37:39] Paul Scheer: Yeah.

[00:37:39] Rory Scovel: Yeah.

[00:37:39] Jason Mantzoukas: Gimme six more. Which way did I just go? Like, incredible. I loved it.

[00:37:43] Jessica St. Clair: Twins are fun.

[00:37:44] Paul Scheer: I don’t wanna put you on the spot, but have you ever. Late at night, put your ear to the wall to hear a man working out and get super horny?

[00:37:53] Jason Mantzoukas: She did not need to put her ear to the wall.

[00:37:56] Jessica St. Clair: First of all, he sounds like he’s taking the biggest shit of his life.

[00:37:59] Jason Mantzoukas: Yes.

[00:38:00] Jessica St. Clair: Over and over again. Yeah. No, that was so.

[00:38:05] Jason Mantzoukas: Does she think he’s jerking off?

[00:38:07] Jessica St. Clair: I don’t.

[00:38:08] Paul Scheer: I think that she just finds it hot that he’s working out.

[00:38:10] Rory Scovel: Yes. Yeah.

[00:38:11] Jessica St. Clair: And also I, that’s where I was like, oh, these guys must be like famous bodybuilders that it was such a sensually shot scene.

[00:38:19] Jason Mantzoukas: Well, it’s so much more interesting.

[00:38:20] Jessica St. Clair: Like give the people what they want.

[00:38:22] Jason Mantzoukas: Yes.

[00:38:22] Jessica St. Clair: But who wants that?

[00:38:23] Jason Mantzoukas: Yes. What they want is like him pumping iron and graphic insert shots of his vascularity.

[00:38:30] Rory Scovel: Yeah.

[00:38:30] Jason Mantzoukas: And I was like, who is this for?

[00:38:33] Jessica St. Clair: Who is it for?

[00:38:34] Rory Scovel: Yeah.

[00:38:34] Jessica St. Clair: It’s not for me.

[00:38:35] Jason Mantzoukas: Oh, I don’t, I don’t think so at all.

[00:38:37] Jessica St. Clair: Yeah.

[00:38:37] Rory Scovel: Well they, there was a debate, do we have him work out on this set or do we have all of the actors take training on how to handle guns? Oh, they made their choice and that’s what you do.

[00:38:49] Jessica St. Clair: They made their choice.

[00:38:50] Rory Scovel: They made their choice.

[00:38:51] Paul Scheer: There, I mean, the other thing is the other brother had just gotten outta jail after being in jail for a long time and lives in a very nice house where he has a Warhol of himself.

[00:39:01] Rory Scovel: Yeah.

[00:39:03] Jason Mantzoukas: Well, he’s a thief.

[00:39:04] Rory Scovel: That’s perfect.

[00:39:05] Jason Mantzoukas: He’s a thief.

[00:39:06] Jessica St. Clair: Diamond Thief.

[00:39:07] Paul Scheer: He broke into a place.

[00:39:08] Jason Mantzoukas: But if you don’t think that the barbarian brothers who exist in this world, Andy Warhol isn’t obsessed with them. Like in this world, I’m, I would be shocked if someone when you go out there isn’t like, here’s a picture of the Barbarian Brothers with actual Andy Warhol at the factory. I would believe it.

[00:39:25] Jessica St. Clair: What was up though when he, we cut to him in his apartment and he’s balancing that woman who we all wanted to look like. That woman was like it, right?

[00:39:35] Rory Scovel: Yeah.

[00:39:35] Jessica St. Clair: You wanted to be in a, in a onesy.

[00:39:37] Jason Mantzoukas: Yeah. The, the high, the high cut leotard. But with bike shorts under it.

[00:39:41] Jessica St. Clair: Yeah. Bike shorts under. And then your hair is so flipped over that you have to hold your head like this.

[00:39:47] Jason Mantzoukas: The scene where the Barbarian brothers fight each other.

[00:39:51] Jessica St. Clair: It’s great.

[00:39:51] Jason Mantzoukas: I’m not kidding. This is a Mark’s brothers level masterpiece.

[00:39:57] Jessica St. Clair: Agreed.

[00:39:58] Jason Mantzoukas: A fight that begins in an apartment, rolls out of the apartment, down the stairs into the street, into the backseat of a car populated by two people out of that car.

[00:40:11] Paul Scheer: Wait. But then they’re like, yeah, honey. There’s two big men fighting on our backseat. Ah, shut up.

[00:40:17] Jessica St. Clair: Shut up.

[00:40:18] Rory Scovel: Yeah.

[00:40:19] Jason Mantzoukas: I was like, this movie gets it.

[00:40:21] Jessica St. Clair: Into a China shop.

[00:40:23] Jason Mantzoukas: Thank God. I was like, thank God that they weren’t like, no, we wanna be like serious action guys. No, they get it. It’s absurd.

[00:40:30] Paul Scheer: They go into a China shop.

[00:40:31] Jason Mantzoukas: Yes.

[00:40:32] Rory Scovel: Yeah.

[00:40:32] Jason Mantzoukas: They are. Bulls in a China shop. Literally.

[00:40:35] Jessica St. Clair: They should study this.

[00:40:37] Jason Mantzoukas: !It just says China. It’s just a so.

[00:40:40] Paul Scheer: But yet they have no money because they don’t show a single plate break.

[00:40:43] Rory Scovel: Nope. Yeah.

[00:40:44] Paul Scheer: It’s all just sound effects. Smash cut to parking lot.

[00:40:49] Jason Mantzoukas: Did you notice one of my favorite genuine moments in this film is one of my favorite moments that I can’t believe I’ve never seen.

[00:40:57] Uh, which is at a certain point, Roddy McDowell is watching the security footage of the robbery. Okay. And it’s the scene you were referencing earlier where the brother does that. And when the whole thing plays out, uh, Roddy McDowell hits stop. At which point not only does the security footage stop, but the score stops.

[00:41:19] Paul Scheer: Yes.

[00:41:20] Jason Mantzoukas: As if, as if the score of the movie has been scoring the security footage.

[00:41:26] Rory Scovel: Oh.

[00:41:26] Jason Mantzoukas: And when he clicks it off, it stops. It was, I had a panic attack. I was like, am I losing my mind?

[00:41:35] Paul Scheer: Because the score was also not, like the score was like, I was like, that’s a fun way to watch security footage.

[00:41:43] Jason Mantzoukas: Yeah.

[00:41:46] Paul Scheer: I stole the milk.

[00:41:48] Jason Mantzoukas: The electric guitar stuff in this movie is insane.

[00:41:51] Rory Scovel: Yeah.

[00:41:52] Jason Mantzoukas: It’s fucking nuts.

[00:41:53] Jessica St. Clair: No, they should have won an award for that soundtrack. I want that soundtrack.

[00:41:57] Jason Mantzoukas: If you told me they hired the guy that roller skates up and down Venice Boulevard playing electric guitar.

[00:42:03] Rory Scovel: Yes.

[00:42:03] Jason Mantzoukas: I would believe you.

[00:42:04] Paul Scheer: Well, you know, uh, the song the, the Driver plays Bob The Assassin, uh, is his own band.

[00:42:10] Jason Mantzoukas: Great.

[00:42:10] Paul Scheer: He got that in the movie. Yeah.

[00:42:11] Jessica St. Clair: That’s is Bob’s own the, the Ginger’s own band?

[00:42:13] Paul Scheer: Yeah.

[00:42:14] Jessica St. Clair: Wow. See this was a fun set and actually when I was on YouTube, I was watching it on YouTube ’cause I didn’t wanna pay for this piece of shit. And the first comment on YouTube is somebody who worked, I think craft services it on the film and just said it was a ball and the brothers couldn’t have been nicer. And I think that comes off on the screen.

[00:42:37] Rory Scovel: Yeah, I agree.

[00:42:38] Jessica St. Clair: They’re all having a laugh at this movie.

[00:42:40] Jason Mantzoukas: I agree. Yeah.

[00:42:41] Jessica St. Clair: Right?

[00:42:41] Jason Mantzoukas: They clearly don’t take themselves too seriously.

[00:42:43] Jessica St. Clair: They don’t.

[00:42:44] Jason Mantzoukas: And that’s both in the movie and it’s gotta be real because they seem like they are just a couple of goofballs.

[00:42:49] Jessica St. Clair: Yeah, they’re a couple.

[00:42:50] Rory Scovel: They’ve been even on like those late night shoots, you could tell funny, they were probably like, Hey, should we do another take? And everybody was like, I don’t care. Let’s do, let’s not do it. Who fucking even cares?

[00:43:02] Jessica St. Clair: We got it. We got it.

[00:43:04] Paul Scheer: I do think, I do think that this is like, the fact that he wears the same outfit is like the director going. We could pick up any scene at any point.

[00:43:11] Rory Scovel: Any moment.

[00:43:12] Paul Scheer: Right?

[00:43:12] Rory Scovel: Like pickup galore.

[00:43:14] Jason Mantzoukas: You know what? I feel like the movie is, and or maybe it was the inspiration. And it’s interesting you say that Jambe directed it. It almost obeys Cartoon Logic.

[00:43:23] Paul Scheer: Yes.

[00:43:23] Jason Mantzoukas: You know?

[00:43:23] Jessica St. Clair: Yes.

[00:43:24] Jason Mantzoukas: They do stuff that I feel like mostly happens in cartoons, like when um, Whitney takes the, the criminal brother to the bathroom, and the brother climbs out the window, climbs all the way down. His brother puts a gun in his, a cocked gun in his face.

[00:43:39] Rory Scovel: Yeah.

[00:43:40] Jason Mantzoukas: Yeah. And says, go back and he has to climb back up daily, climb back in. Whitney’s still talking about his sister. I was like, this is cartoon. This is a Bugs Bunny routine.

[00:43:50] Jessica St. Clair: Yes.

[00:43:50] Paul Scheer: But by the way, Whitney’s improv and that was killing me. He is like my sister. She likes tennis, but one of her feet is, uh, different than the other. She wearing a shoe. I was like, I was like, I’m in, like he is doing a full riff about her leg being shorter.

[00:44:04] Jason Mantzoukas: When they go, when they leave that scene and they go to the criminal brother’s apartment and they, they, they realize it’s been trashed. They, they tear in and Whitney goes to go up the stairs and stumbles. Stumbles and falls.

[00:44:17] Rory Scovel: Yes.

[00:44:17] Jason Mantzoukas: That keep it.

[00:44:18] Jessica St. Clair: Poor thing.

[00:44:18] Rory Scovel: Kept it

[00:44:19] Jason Mantzoukas: The only take.

[00:44:20] Jessica St. Clair: I think that was part of, I think that was part of Whitney’s character. He’s always stumbling.

[00:44:24] Jason Mantzoukas: Oh, you think, oh.

[00:44:25] Jessica St. Clair: Well he fell over that barrel.

[00:44:27] Jason Mantzoukas: Oh, you’re right. Okay. So maybe that was purposeful. I, in my mind I was like, this was the only usable take.

[00:44:32] Rory Scovel: It did look, it did look like he fucked up.

[00:44:34] Jessica St. Clair: Like he hurt himself.

[00:44:35] Jason Mantzoukas: Oh yeah.

[00:44:35] Paul Scheer: And by the way, but I could see them going keep it. That’s part of your character. Yeah. It you, you stuff. They do that.

[00:44:41] Jessica St. Clair: And they may be building that.

[00:44:42] Paul Scheer: Yes. And they go, now at the end, you’re gonna fucking flip over barrel.

[00:44:44] Rory Scovel: That was, that was his first take on the film.

[00:44:47] Jason Mantzoukas: Yeah.

[00:44:47] Paul Scheer: Right.

[00:44:48] Rory Scovel: That was the first thing he shot, tripped, and they were like, you’re fucking genius, dude.

[00:44:52] Jessica St. Clair: That’s what I’m talking about. Everybody’s being encouraged to bring something to their character.

[00:44:56] Jason Mantzoukas: He also, in that scene, has quite a bit of trouble putting his gun back in its holster..

[00:45:03] Rory Scovel: Yes.

[00:45:03] Jessica St. Clair: He’s like, he just, Aww.

[00:45:04] Rory Scovel: Yeah.

[00:45:05] Jessica St. Clair: Oh, Whitney. He’s in the FBI.

[00:45:07] Jason Mantzoukas: And I’m, what is this a choice? Is this a new prop?

[00:45:11] Rory Scovel: Yeah.

[00:45:11] Jason Mantzoukas: That he’s like, oh fuck the thing, this gun doesn’t fit in this hole.

[00:45:14] Rory Scovel: It’s funny too, ’cause it’s also a little out of frame.

[00:45:17] Jason Mantzoukas: Yeah.

[00:45:17] Rory Scovel: So you only know that he can’t get in there. ’cause you can see enough with just.

[00:45:21] Jason Mantzoukas: It’s like just here. Yeah. And he’s not even center frame. He’s off to the side.

[00:45:24] Rory Scovel: Yeah.

[00:45:25] Paul Scheer: I bet you they didn’t have the proper holster for his gun. Like they was like, yeah, yeah. You got a fucking holster. And he is like trying to jam it in there.

[00:45:31] Jessica St. Clair: Aw.

[00:45:31] Paul Scheer: I, I like when they do characters, and I was trying to figure out what you think the characters are. I thought they were doing robots when they get the man in the tanning bed. Yeah. Like, you are bad. We will. I was like, yeah.

[00:45:44] Jessica St. Clair: And the weird thing was is they put towels on themselves as if to hide themselves. But their faces are fully.

[00:45:50] Rory Scovel: Yeah.

[00:45:50] Jessica St. Clair: Visible.

[00:45:51] Jason Mantzoukas: They’re, they don’t just put on, they, they, so, okay, so they follow a guy to a spa, like a health club.

[00:45:57] They go into that health club. They, the guy is in a tanning bed. They, they cover themselves. They don’t put towels on like, we belong here. They put towels all over themselves.

[00:46:09] Jessica St. Clair: Like they’re a mummy.

[00:46:09] Jason Mantzoukas: Like not even just mummy, like they are big like grimace.

[00:46:13] Rory Scovel: Yeah.

[00:46:13] Jason Mantzoukas: Yeah. Like they are like white grimaces rolling around in their acting like, yeah, we belong here. I was like, what the fuck is happening?

[00:46:24] Jessica St. Clair: It was nice to see a tanning bed though.

[00:46:26] Rory Scovel: It was, yeah.

[00:46:27] Jessica St. Clair: Just to know that people used to treat themselves to a midday tan.

[00:46:30] Jason Mantzoukas: Oh yeah.

[00:46:31] Jessica St. Clair: You know, kind of maybe nostalgic.

[00:46:33] Rory Scovel: Also deciding to go like imagine in their reality, like he’s in there tanning, what should we do? And they were like, I think we cover ourselves in towels and talk like evil robots over him. And they both were like, that’s what we do. That’s the idea.

[00:46:50] Jason Mantzoukas: Don’t you wish they had included that scene?

[00:46:53] Paul Scheer: Yes.

[00:46:53] Rory Scovel: Yes.

[00:46:53] Jason Mantzoukas: I wish they’d included the scene where they came up with this plan.

[00:46:57] Rory Scovel: Yeah.

[00:46:57] Jason Mantzoukas: Because it is, they are and and I guess maybe because I thought they were wrestlers or something like that.

[00:47:03] They feel like they are, their whole thing is aimed at kids like.

[00:47:07] Paul Scheer: Right.

[00:47:08] Jason Mantzoukas: Kids feel would like, like 13 year olds would be like, oh my god.

[00:47:12] Paul Scheer: Yeah.

[00:47:12] Jason Mantzoukas: This is crazy.

[00:47:14] Rory Scovel: That’s like, honestly, there are 13-year-old boys in the year 1992 watching that scene in the candlelit living room, and they’re like, that’s what you do if you get a girl back in your place.

[00:47:24] Paul Scheer: Right.

[00:47:25] Jessica St. Clair: Yeah.

[00:47:25] Rory Scovel: Yeah. That’s what you do.

[00:47:27] Jessica St. Clair: That is what you do.

[00:47:27] Rory Scovel: You make the, you do cirque de sole. That’s what you do.

[00:47:31] Paul Scheer: And I, I gotta get a loop. Where can I get a loop? Mom, dad, can I get a loop? What? Whatever you need for.

[00:47:36] Jason Mantzoukas: I need a, I need loose diamonds, loose pole, and a jewelers loop. That’s how you get laid. This is why we have a masculinity crisis in this world.

[00:47:46] Jessica St. Clair: That’s right. Bring it back. Bring back the belly shirt.

[00:47:50] Jason Mantzoukas: We, I wish we had the Barbarian brothers. We have the Tate brothers now? No, thank you.

[00:47:56] Rory Scovel: Yeah.

[00:47:57] Paul Scheer: Um, if you wanna talk about masculine, I wanna talk about the guy who was.

[00:48:01] Jason Mantzoukas: Denver. Denver on board for the Tate brothers?

[00:48:07] Paul Scheer: Talking about masculine. I want to talk about the guy whose job it is to lock down the, uh, diamond exchange who has a cup of coffee that says, uh, “Damn, I’m good.”

[00:48:19] Rory Scovel: Yeah.

[00:48:20] Paul Scheer: Hey, yeah, lock this place down. Then the casualness of that operation two was very bizarre. Like that was the only day that they had a lot of extras, uh, and.

[00:48:32] Jessica St. Clair: And that they just put outside a regular office building ICE or whatever it was.

[00:48:37] Paul Scheer: By the way, that’s where they shot Children’s Hospital for the last two years.

[00:48:40] Jessica St. Clair: Did they really? That’s Oh, I know that what you’re talking about.

[00:48:42] Paul Scheer: That’s the, the old Sunkist building.

[00:48:44] Rory Scovel: Wait, at the International Diamond Exchange? Wow.

[00:48:48] Paul Scheer: I literally have shot in every location that the Barbarian brothers have shot here.

[00:48:52] Jessica St. Clair: Gotta look at your career, Paul. You gotta look at your career.

[00:48:54] Paul Scheer: It’s, whenever I’m watching one of these things, I’m like, oh, they had no money for this. I’ve shot in all of these places.

[00:49:00] Rory Scovel: Yeah, yeah.

[00:49:00] Paul Scheer: Uh, I remember that one time we were shooting The League and um, once somebody had, like, somebody had shown us.

[00:49:07] Jason Mantzoukas: Shut up.

[00:49:09] Paul Scheer: We were on a couch. We were on a couch. And someone showed us this picture and it was a full porn on that same.

[00:49:15] Jessica St. Clair: I shot. Oh yeah, I shot BFF there.

[00:49:17] Paul Scheer: Yeah.

[00:49:17] Jessica St. Clair: Yes.

[00:49:18] Paul Scheer: It’s like, yeah. These places are just used. There is.

[00:49:20] Jason Mantzoukas: Every set you’ve been on is covered in cum.

[00:49:23] Rory Scovel: Yeah.

[00:49:24] Jessica St. Clair: Yep.

[00:49:25] Rory Scovel: And that’s, honestly, that’s the charm of doing this.

[00:49:27] Jason Mantzoukas: Yes. I’ve been That’s, I’ve been in so many disgusting hot tubs in the valley.

[00:49:33] Rory Scovel: Oh yeah.

[00:49:33] Jason Mantzoukas: That I’m like, absolutely not. This is, I’m for sure getting Hep A through F in this.

[00:49:40] Rory Scovel: Yeah.

[00:49:41] Paul Scheer: Let me go out to the audience. Lemme see what the audience has to say.

[00:49:43] Jessica St. Clair: Woo!

[00:49:45] Jason Mantzoukas: Careful out there, Paul. These are Barbarians.

[00:49:49] Paul Scheer: Well, I wanna go to any, I wanna go to any, anybody in a costume.

[00:49:52] Barbarian.

[00:49:53] Jason Mantzoukas: Yeah. If you’re in a costume and you have your hand raised, make sure we know you’re in a costume.

[00:49:56] Paul Scheer: Alright. Hey, how you doing? What’s your name?

[00:49:58] Audience Member: Chris.

[00:49:58] Paul Scheer: Alright. Chris, what do you got?

[00:49:59] Audience Member: Can we talk about this satellite dish that gets.

[00:50:02] Jessica St. Clair: What the fuck is that? Thank you.

[00:50:05] Audience Member: Pushed off.

[00:50:06] Paul Scheer: Yes, he does take a satellite dish as if it’s, like thousands of pounds and we’re like, oh my God. And he throws it on the car, and then the guy whose car falls on, he just kind of pushes it off.

[00:50:16] Jason Mantzoukas: Exactly. I loved it. Go.

[00:50:18] Audience Member: Are the barbarians not that strong?

[00:50:21] Jason Mantzoukas: Oh, I assume they’re strong, but you’re right. Because what we don’t see is him dislodge it from a mounting. We don’t see him do the.

[00:50:28] Jessica St. Clair: No, he just comes into frame.

[00:50:29] Jason Mantzoukas: Like, like, oh, I’m, I’m having to, I’m having to use so much strength.

[00:50:33] Rory Scovel: Yeah.

[00:50:34] Jason Mantzoukas: To, to lift and detach this satellite dish. It really is just like, oh, I got one of these. Wing.

[00:50:40] Jessica St. Clair: But he flips a plane at the end.

[00:50:43] Jason Mantzoukas: Oh, they flip a plane.

[00:50:44] Jessica St. Clair: They’s fucking crazy.

[00:50:45] Paul Scheer: By the way, you know, this is a bit that the two of them do. Flip.

[00:50:50] Jason Mantzoukas: Oh, flip, flip.

[00:50:51] Paul Scheer: Oh, they have done this. They have.

[00:50:53] Jessica St. Clair: That’s fun. That’s fun.

[00:50:54] Paul Scheer: They have mento’d so many people.

[00:50:57] Jessica St. Clair: Twins are so fun.

[00:51:01] Rory Scovel: Every miata that lives near them.

[00:51:04] Paul Scheer: Let’s do it.

[00:51:06] Jason Mantzoukas: We used to, we used to, when I was in high school band, we used to a, we’d have to get a whole bunch of people, but our band director had a very small light car and we would all go out and pick it up and put it into positions that were impossible to get out.

[00:51:20] Jessica St. Clair: That’s fun.

[00:51:22] Jason Mantzoukas: It was very fun.

[00:51:23] Rory Scovel: Teachers sucked.

[00:51:24] Jason Mantzoukas: Yeah.

[00:51:25] Jessica St. Clair: Yeah.

[00:51:25] Rory Scovel: Hell yeah. Get them.

[00:51:28] Jessica St. Clair: Get those.

[00:51:28] Jason Mantzoukas: We showed him.

[00:51:29] Jessica St. Clair: Get those public school teachers.

[00:51:31] Jason Mantzoukas: You try and teach us music. You just, you just try and show us the beauty of music.

[00:51:37] Paul Scheer: Just like the Barbarian Brothers did. Be cool. Don’t go to school.

[00:51:42] Jessica St. Clair: Yeah.

[00:51:42] Paul Scheer: Alright, so we’re with our barbarian, uh, sister. Uh, alright. What’s your question? Your name or question?

[00:51:48] Audience Member: My name’s Liz. Um, you know how the police chief fires Whitney?

[00:51:53] Paul Scheer: Yes.

[00:51:53] Audience Member: At some point. Okay. But also when Whitney’s introduced, he’s in the FBI, so.

[00:51:58] Jessica St. Clair: Yeah. Right. Why does he, he have jurisdiction over him? You’re right.

[00:52:01] Jason Mantzoukas: Yeah.

[00:52:01] Audience Member: How does, how can he fire him?

[00:52:03] Paul Scheer: Yeah.

[00:52:04] Rory Scovel: That’s kind of how dumb Whitney is.

[00:52:06] Jessica St. Clair: Justice for Whitney.

[00:52:08] Jason Mantzoukas: You know what, I guess that makes sense for why Whitney keeps showing up because he is like, no, no one fired me. I work for, for.

[00:52:15] Jessica St. Clair: I hired you guys.

[00:52:16] Jason Mantzoukas: I I work for the federal government. The only way that this can, that someone can fire me is in some number of years when a teenager takes control of the department in which I am in and gets rid of me for efficiency’s sake.

[00:52:32] Rory Scovel: I think that’s foreshadowing Doge.

[00:52:34] Jason Mantzoukas: Yes.

[00:52:35] Rory Scovel: That’s what the movie is doing.

[00:52:36] Jason Mantzoukas: Yeah. Big Balls is gonna fire Whitney.

[00:52:40] Paul Scheer: Alright, I’m looking at somebody who’s actively writing a note right now about the movie. Alright. What, what’s her name?

[00:52:45] Audience Member: Uh, Andy.

[00:52:46] Paul Scheer: Okay. Andy, what do you got?

[00:52:47] Audience Member: Uh, so this movie came out in 1992. 1994. Quinten Tarantino came out with Pulp Fiction. Did Tito the Bodyguard. Look a lot like Vincent Vega to anybody else with a long hair.

[00:53:04] Jason Mantzoukas: Just the hair. Just the hair.

[00:53:05] Audience Member: Just the hair?

[00:53:06] Jason Mantzoukas: Yeah.

[00:53:06] Paul Scheer: Do you think that, you think that this is like Quentin Tarantino going, I need to write a movie about that guy?

[00:53:12] Jason Mantzoukas: Well, i, I would believe.

[00:53:14] Jessica St. Clair: Yeah.

[00:53:14] Jason Mantzoukas: I would honestly not be even remotely surprised if they did this movie on video archives and Quentin was like, you know what? I, I love this movie and, and I, I I based quinton’s hair on, uh, Tito. Uh, I would absolutely believe you if, if you told me that, uh, because this movie is so strange that I’m certain it was constantly playing at video archives.

[00:53:36] Paul Scheer: Sir, what’s your name, your question?

[00:53:38] Audience Member: My name is Andy. I’ve got two quick tidbits about the movie.

[00:53:40] Paul Scheer: Oh great.

[00:53:41] Audience Member: The actress who eavesdrops on Peter working out. Husband number three of five was none other than John Claude Van. Van Dam.

[00:53:49] Paul Scheer: Wow. Alright.

[00:53:51] Jessica St. Clair: Wow.

[00:53:51] Audience Member: And not that I looked for it and couldn’t find it, but apparently these guys did a spread for Playgirl in 1986.

[00:53:57] Jessica St. Clair: Woo.

[00:53:58] Paul Scheer: Wow. Beth, hang on. Beth, if you can hear that.

[00:54:02] Jason Mantzoukas: Someone here.

[00:54:02] Paul Scheer: We can pull that up.

[00:54:03] Jason Mantzoukas: I feel like one of these nerds is gonna have the magazine.

[00:54:06] Jessica St. Clair: Please.

[00:54:06] Jason Mantzoukas: You do?

[00:54:07] Rory Scovel: Yes.

[00:54:07] Jason Mantzoukas: Do you have the magazine? You have the magazine, ma’am? No. Do you have the magazine? Okay. No, inexplicably raising her hand.

[00:54:17] Paul Scheer: Beth’s gonna be on it.

[00:54:19] Alright, here we are. Uh, now if you wanna ask it in your robot voice you can, but you don’t have to. Alright. Uh, what’s your name?

[00:54:27] Audience Member: Alex.

[00:54:28] Paul Scheer: Great. That was awesome. You don’t have to do more than that. I enjoyed that and you committed to it. All right. So yes, your question.

[00:54:34] Jessica St. Clair: Woo.

[00:54:35] Audience Member: Uh, why did they have to repel down the side of that building when they told someone else like, go get the car. So that guy who went to get the car had a different way to get down.

[00:54:49] Paul Scheer: Okay. That.

[00:54:50] Rory Scovel: No, we don’t know. He, that guy might’ve repelled also.

[00:54:53] Paul Scheer: Yes. I think that guy, I think he’s the first Repeller. They all were like, we’re in a penthouse. We have to be ready to repel down the side. By the way, I haven’t been to many penthouses, but that is not a fancy penthouse at all.

[00:55:07] Jason Mantzoukas: You’ve been to many penthouses, Paul?

[00:55:09] Paul Scheer: No, I said I haven’t been to many.

[00:55:11] Jason Mantzoukas: Oh, you haven’t been.

[00:55:12] Paul Scheer: But I, I can tell you that that is not.

[00:55:15] Jason Mantzoukas: Well, there isn’t a penthouse that’s on the fourth floor. They were not high up.

[00:55:21] Jessica St. Clair: Don’t call that. Yeah, they just call that the fourth floor.

[00:55:22] Jason Mantzoukas: Yes. They were not high up at all.

[00:55:25] Jessica St. Clair: But is this again, you guys watch shitty movies like this all the time. Have you ever seen an action movie where people repel to get away? Because it seems like that is.

[00:55:34] Paul Scheer: Not that slowly.

[00:55:35] Jessica St. Clair: It’s easy to, to fi to shoot somebody.

[00:55:38] Jason Mantzoukas: Well, also it would be impossible to set up and repel that quickly.

[00:55:42] Jessica St. Clair: Right. You have to find a base.

[00:55:44] Jason Mantzoukas: Yes. You have to. Yes, exactly right. You have to be on belay.

[00:55:47] You have to have your, you have to have your, your uh, your climbing shoes, your harness, the, your chalk bag.

[00:55:53] Jessica St. Clair: You get the chalk. You gotta.

[00:55:54] Jason Mantzoukas: Yeah.

[00:55:55] Rory Scovel: Guys, guys read the book. It’s in the fucking book. That’s what they did. This movie stayed true in the original vision.

[00:56:03] Paul Scheer: I got two final comments. Or one from a personal trainer.

[00:56:07] Alright, so what do you have from a personal training point of view?

[00:56:10] Audience Member: I just, I just wanted to, uh, warn people that if you are lifting weights. And you’re doing chest presses, please do not rest the bar. Oh, on your actual chest.

[00:56:22] Jessica St. Clair: That’s a hot tip.

[00:56:23] Audience Member: You can crush your rib cage.

[00:56:25] Jason Mantzoukas: But what if I, what if I’m not a pussy?

[00:56:31] Oh, I have a question too. And, and feel free to weigh in or not if you have an opinion. Do you think these guys are juiced to the gills?

[00:56:39] Jessica St. Clair: Yeah. Can you achieve this naturally?

[00:56:42] Jason Mantzoukas: Yes. And or how quickly can I look like this? Remember, I’m 52.

[00:56:49] Audience Member: Well, you know, RFK Junior’s juiced and he is totally jacked it his sixties. So.

[00:56:55] Jason Mantzoukas: The healthiest guy in the world.

[00:57:02] Jessica St. Clair: Save it for your SNL impressions.

[00:57:02] Jason Mantzoukas: I swear to God, every time he opens his mouth it’s like the Tasmanian devil is trying to tell me something. Every press conference it’s like, what do you think about vaccines?

[00:57:17] Paul Scheer: Alright, well clearly there’s a lot of opinions about this movie. Uh, there are some people who even love this film. It is now time for Second Opinions.

[00:57:32] Audience Member: Hi, I am Fern.

[00:57:33] I’m Steve

[00:57:34] And we’re both librarians and this is a story time classic.

[00:57:41] Peter and David lifted lots of weights, grew awesome mullets, and flipped some cars and planes. I can’t remember the rest of the plot, so I’ll give this rad movie. Five stars on Amazon.

[00:58:02] Jessica St. Clair: Adorable.

[00:58:03] Jason Mantzoukas: Yes.

[00:58:04] Paul Scheer: Amazing.

[00:58:05] Jason Mantzoukas: Yes. Support your library.

[00:58:08] Paul Scheer: I love our library.

[00:58:10] Jason Mantzoukas: Support your library any other librarians here? Where are the other librarians? Stand up quick. Stand up, librarians. Boom, boom, boom.

[00:58:19] Paul Scheer: Thank you, librarians.

[00:58:21] Jason Mantzoukas: That’s right. They’re even in the balcony. We got librarians in the balcony. Whoa.

[00:58:27] Rory Scovel: Everybody here is a librarian.

[00:58:30] Jason Mantzoukas: Everybody’s a. There’s too many librarians. This was a trap. Go. This is all a Doge. It’s a Doge trap. Too many librarians.

[00:58:46] Paul Scheer: Alright. There are 144 reviews on Amazon. 77% are five star. This one was written in 2016. The author is BC and it looks like this person is responding to someone.

[00:59:03] Jason Mantzoukas: Do we think it’s David Carradine?

[00:59:06] Paul Scheer: Somebody else I met my first trip to LA.

[00:59:09] Jason Mantzoukas: Mr. C?

[00:59:10] Paul Scheer: Mr. David Carradine.

[00:59:11] Rory Scovel: Made him drink. Made him drink.

[00:59:14] Paul Scheer: He signed my autograph with a, uh, a.

[00:59:17] Jessica St. Clair: With his penis.

[00:59:17] Paul Scheer: Well, the crazy thing was, is like, um, he was shooting a movie that in the future sex is outlawed and he’s trying to get it back on track.

[00:59:26] Jason Mantzoukas: Oh wow.

[00:59:27] Jessica St. Clair: Oh God.

[00:59:27] Jason Mantzoukas: And you and you as a child heard about this.

[00:59:30] Paul Scheer: Well, they asked me to be an extra at night. Um, alright. Uh, BC writes,

[00:59:37] “First off, it’s David and Peter, not John. And it was released in 1992 and it’s a B movie. This movie is full of puns and jokes that make this cop crook movie a bit better than the others. The barbarians were a fun duo to watch on film, however, a director’s nightmare by playing tricks, by pulling cars in the parking lot around with a chain and not taking acting very seriously. The few films they made are full of fun and enjoyment for the viewer. This movie is at the top of my list. Five stars.”

[01:00:16] Now, I don’t know who he’s yelling at before. But it seems like he’s angry. Um, this is from Dupe for Life. Dupe for Life. Uh, writes this.

[01:00:28] “Only had a few beer emoji. Beer emoji. Beer emoji. Okay. These guys are built like brick shit houses. LOL. The arms on them had me wanna go and run through a wall. Go watch it. Good movie. Jackson Packed. nuff said five stars.”

[01:00:54] Jason Mantzoukas: Wait, did you just say Jacked and packed?

[01:00:57] Paul Scheer: Jackson packed.

[01:00:58] Jessica St. Clair: What does that mean?

[01:00:59] Paul Scheer: I don’t know.

[01:01:01] Rory Scovel: But that guy is certain that we all do.

[01:01:03] Jason Mantzoukas: Jack. Okay. Jacked and packed would make sense. Jacked and, and like six pack.

[01:01:07] Jessica St. Clair: Yeah.

[01:01:07] Paul Scheer: Right. Maybe the beers maybe getting.

[01:01:10] Jason Mantzoukas: Oh, wait a minute. Physical trainer, personal trainer is jackson packed a thing?

[01:01:15] Audience Member: No.

[01:01:15] Jason Mantzoukas: Thank you.

[01:01:17] Jessica St. Clair: Okay. And we dunno.

[01:01:19] Jason Mantzoukas: She gets it.

[01:01:21] Paul Scheer: The, you know, look, people love this movie ’cause, uh, Sad Hydra writes,

[01:01:25] “If you’re mad at this movie, like, what the hell is wrong with you? It’s about beefy twins. Five stars.”

[01:01:35] And then finally Alex writes this,

[01:01:38] “Has everything I could possibly want. Great cat movie, five stars.”

[01:01:47] Rory Scovel: You know that what’s never pointed out is that that cat is like just dead in the, the sink.

[01:01:51] Jessica St. Clair: They never feed it.

[01:01:53] Rory Scovel: Just dead.

[01:01:54] Jessica St. Clair: He doesn’t go home again.

[01:01:55] Rory Scovel: Yeah.

[01:01:55] Jessica St. Clair: So like.

[01:01:56] Jason Mantzoukas: He doesn’t, he doesn’t appear to leave more baby food.

[01:01:58] Rory Scovel: The cat was so thirsty and it like turned the water on, but there’s no faucet plate.

[01:02:03] Paul Scheer: No faucet.

[01:02:04] Rory Scovel: Nothing occurred.

[01:02:05] Jason Mantzoukas: The water kept falling into the sink, but then just getting soaked up by the litter.

[01:02:09] Jessica St. Clair: Oh God.

[01:02:10] Paul Scheer: Alright, so let me just give you a couple fun facts. Um, the Barbarian’s father, uh, in 1993 proposed a Barbarian’s theme park, but it was never built.

[01:02:25] Jessica St. Clair: What propose to who?

[01:02:26] Jason Mantzoukas: Honestly, our loss.

[01:02:27] Paul Scheer: Yeah.

[01:02:28] Jessica St. Clair: Yeah.

[01:02:28] Rory Scovel: Yeah.

[01:02:29] Proposed to who is a great question. Did he just go up to someone like, Hey, you should make a theme park.

[01:02:34] Paul Scheer: You should make a whole theme park of that, these guys.

[01:02:37] Rory Scovel: Oh, I, I just, I’m, I just worked the register. I don’t know what you want me to do. Well take some of the money out of it. Go make my boys a ride to ride on.

[01:02:46] Paul Scheer: It’s like a tilty world, but it’s them underneath it. I’ll get them to actually run all the rides.

[01:02:51] Rory Scovel: They’ll do it.

[01:02:53] Paul Scheer: Um, okay, so this is how they kind of broke into the thing. They were popular Gold’s Gym in Venice for their silly antics, like sticking smelly boots in each other’s faces to kickstart their next feet of strength.

[01:03:08] And then they created their own workout tape that was sold at Muscle and Fitness. Uh, called the Barbarian Psyche tape. Their diet was 36 eggs, dozens of amino acid capsules and chocolate milk daily.

[01:03:23] Rory Scovel: Can we get, can we go to the?

[01:03:24] Jessica St. Clair: They’re like Gaston.

[01:03:25] Jason Mantzoukas: Can we get, can personal trainer? How is that?

[01:03:31] Audience Member: That is very bad.

[01:03:32] Rory Scovel: 30, I don’t know, 36 eggs. Doesn’t sound bad.

[01:03:35] Paul Scheer: 36 eggs and chocolate milk.

[01:03:37] Jason Mantzoukas: You know how expensive that would be now?

[01:03:40] Jessica St. Clair: Seriously.

[01:03:40] Jason Mantzoukas: 36 eggs every day. It’s like an Erehwon smoothie.

[01:03:43] Jessica St. Clair: Yeah.

[01:03:44] Paul Scheer: They, um, they retired from acting. Uh, but then they tried to break into the music industry when they started rapping. Uh, they’ve released multiple songs and they found their biggest success on the islands of Hawaii.

[01:04:01] Rory Scovel: Right. You know what.

[01:04:02] Jessica St. Clair: I bless them.

[01:04:02] Paul Scheer: Yeah.

[01:04:03] Rory Scovel: One lesson I did learn in this movie, uh, as an actor myself, is that if you aren’t a great actor and you have to deliver a line with sarcasm, the audience will not know if you were being sarcastic or if you were just continuing to act poorly as a character. There was so much sarcasm in this, and I was like, was he being a dick or was he just saying his line?

[01:04:27] Jessica St. Clair: Doing it bad

[01:04:29] Paul Scheer: Now, um, we did talk about the Playgirl magazine. Shoot. Beth was able to find, uh, the cover. All right, so that is the cover. They didn’t even make the cover. There it is. The Barbarian Brothers pec bad boys pose.

[01:04:41] Jessica St. Clair: Boys pose.

[01:04:42] Jason Mantzoukas: The cover is Kristy McNichol?

[01:04:45] Paul Scheer: Yeah, so that’s their, that’s their Playgirl magazine.

[01:04:47] Jason Mantzoukas: I can’t, I can’t I can’t tell you how much. As a, as a solid Gen Xer, a 52-year-old. Everybody in my high school looked like these guys.

[01:04:58] Jessica St. Clair: Yeah. ’cause you were close to Rhode. I think Rhode Island is something that’s very important to the Barbarian background.

[01:05:04] Jason Mantzoukas: Inexplicably, a bunch of suburban Massachusetts kids decided in my high school to take steroids, thinking it was going to get them into the NFL or something, and they all had this exact same look and all the, the vascularity and the crop top.

[01:05:20] Paul Scheer: Yeah.

[01:05:20] Jason Mantzoukas: All of it was giving me such high school bully vibes.

[01:05:23] Jessica St. Clair: Yeah.

[01:05:24] Jason Mantzoukas: It was incredible.

[01:05:25] Jessica St. Clair: It was triggering for you.

[01:05:26] Jason Mantzoukas: It was all they needed was, like shaved lines in their head.

[01:05:28] Rory Scovel: Yeah.

[01:05:28] Jessica St. Clair: Yeah.

[01:05:29] Rory Scovel: What a lot of people don’t know is Jason looked exactly like this in high school.

[01:05:33] Jason Mantzoukas: Not, not far.

[01:05:35] Jessica St. Clair: Pretty much.

[01:05:35] Jason Mantzoukas: Not far.

[01:05:36] Jessica St. Clair: Minus the beard.

[01:05:37] Jason Mantzoukas: Just minus the gray.

[01:05:40] Paul Scheer: Um, final thoughts on the movie?

[01:05:42] Anything we, I mean, we didn’t even get into.

[01:05:44] Jason Mantzoukas: Who cares?

[01:05:44] Paul Scheer: Okay. David Carradine was a great cameo.

[01:05:49] Rory Scovel: Yeah.

[01:05:49] Paul Scheer: The master thief, they got him for one day. They got a lot of people for one day on this movie, but any, I mean, I loved it.

[01:05:54] Jason Mantzoukas: I loved it.

[01:05:55] Paul Scheer: Yeah.

[01:05:55] Jason Mantzoukas: I loved it. And I will very briefly mention that at the end, the big diamond heist. Yes. They’re all, I love the idea of it’s, it’s backpack based vacuum cleaners and we’re just vacuuming up diamonds.

[01:06:07] Jessica St. Clair: Yeah.

[01:06:07] Jason Mantzoukas: What a great idea. Loved it. But then they’ve got a clear out, they’ve installed clear windows.

[01:06:13] Jessica St. Clair: They could see how many diamonds.

[01:06:15] Jason Mantzoukas: So that it’s obvious, like it’s just full of diamonds.

[01:06:18] Rory Scovel: Yeah.

[01:06:18] Jessica St. Clair: Yeah.

[01:06:18] Jason Mantzoukas: You can’t then go walk out on the street and be like, we’re just workers. We just vacuumed up the diamonds.

[01:06:23] Rory Scovel: Yeah. We cleaned it real good.

[01:06:26] Jessica St. Clair: That vacuum looks like when you go to the car wash, what they used. Oh yeah. It wasn’t like, like a high tech vacuum.

[01:06:32] Jason Mantzoukas: No.

[01:06:32] Jessica St. Clair: You know, it was just something you do.

[01:06:34] Jason Mantzoukas: These are shitty.

[01:06:36] Jessica St. Clair: Shells up.

[01:06:36] Rory Scovel: Look just like Ghostbusters with no budget.

[01:06:38] Jessica St. Clair: Yeah.

[01:06:39] Rory Scovel: Like we’re, we will get ’em.

[01:06:41] Paul Scheer: My question was, I don’t know what a diamond exchange is, but do they lay them out individually for like, these are all of our diamonds and they’re all the same size. Tiny, yeah, they’re very tiny.

[01:06:51] Rory Scovel: Yeah.

[01:06:51] Paul Scheer: They were, that diamond exchange was sad. Um, and it seemed like. I guess what it seemed like was that he was getting a way better haul, robbing the diamond places in the beginning of the movie than they did at the end of the movie.

[01:07:04] Rory Scovel: That’s a great point.

[01:07:05] Jessica St. Clair: What was a bit unsatisfying about the ending of the film is that I really felt like the brothers came together to fight the thing and then at the end of the day, the bad brother just like threw it all up in the air and stole the diamonds. Or was that just a bit?

[01:07:19] Jason Mantzoukas: Yeah, he’s not, he’s gotta be him. He’s gotta eat.

[01:07:21] Jessica St. Clair: I guess. But doesn’t that undo the entire movie?

[01:07:25] Jason Mantzoukas: Oh, so sorry. Do you think there is an arc in this movie?

[01:07:29] Rory Scovel: Yeah. What? What did you force in there?

[01:07:31] Jessica St. Clair: I thought these characters had made some changes.

[01:07:33] Jason Mantzoukas: So you were let down by the end that there wasn’t enough Barbarian brother growth? There is, it’s just growth hormone.

[01:07:43] Jessica St. Clair: Also, are we meant to believe that they have been building this subway for the express intent to get these diamonds? ’cause that’s a long way out.

[01:07:52] Paul Scheer: Yeah.

[01:07:52] Rory Scovel: Yeah. And also way more expensive than the take.

[01:07:55] Jessica St. Clair: Just, the diamonds. Yeah. I would think anyway.

[01:07:57] Jason Mantzoukas: Oh, I mean, how much money Kent Construction stands to make Building a subway.

[01:08:04] Jessica St. Clair: That’s what I mean.

[01:08:05] Jason Mantzoukas: Grossly dwarfs the haul that he’s, that he’s splitting with Roddy McDowell and, oh my God, we didn’t talk about my favorite scene. I’m so sorry. My favorite scene is when the, when the Barbarian brothers are in the spa, they torture the guy in the tanning bed. They shred his clothes.

[01:08:22] Paul Scheer: Oh yeah.

[01:08:23] Jason Mantzoukas: Right. And then they basically make it such They is, they burn him in the bed, they shred his clothes. So they’re really trying to get under his skin. Right. Then he walks out and they’re watching him from the, the cop brothers absolutely demolished Camaro. Camaro. Yeah. He’s driving like a, a, an absolute wreck.

[01:08:41] Anyway, they’re watching him and they’re like, haha, we got him. And he comes out and he’s walking around. Then they watch, they’re gonna follow him and do whatever they watch as he is run over.

[01:08:50] Rory Scovel: The most brutal murder.

[01:08:51] Jason Mantzoukas: Multiple times by the mild mannered Ginger.

[01:08:55] Paul Scheer: So violent.

[01:08:55] Rory Scovel: Yeah.

[01:08:55] Paul Scheer: The way his legs were, blah.

[01:08:57] Jessica St. Clair: That was some Quentin Tarantino shit. Like, I was like, I have to look away. At one point the little tiny legs were just

[01:09:03] Jason Mantzoukas: Oh, yeah.

[01:09:04] Rory Scovel: Yeah.

[01:09:04] Jessica St. Clair: Like the, like the wicked witches, like rolled up legs.

[01:09:08] Jason Mantzoukas: Yes.

[01:09:08] Jessica St. Clair: Fucked up.

[01:09:08] Paul Scheer: By the way, we did mention Quentin Tarantino a bunch, but, you know, who actually did cast them, uh, Oliver Stone.

[01:09:15] They were in Natural Born Killers. They were deleted out of the film.

[01:09:18] Jason Mantzoukas: Oh.

[01:09:19] Paul Scheer: Robert Downey Jr. Interviews them. And, uh, Oliver Stone said, yeah, they were overacting. It’s my fault. That was the.

[01:09:26] Jason Mantzoukas: That’s too bad.

[01:09:27] Rory Scovel: I like that he took the hit, he took the hit for them.

[01:09:28] Jessica St. Clair: Nice.

[01:09:29] Paul Scheer: I did hit wrong.

[01:09:29] Jason Mantzoukas: Like I would, I would, there’s a world in which I guess maybe if they were more directable or if they were a little bit better actors, that they would’ve had like character bits in movies and TV for the last 30 to four years.

[01:09:41] Jessica St. Clair: For sure.

[01:09:42] Jason Mantzoukas: Yeah. Yeah. We would all be like, this is incredible.

[01:09:44] Rory Scovel: Yeah. A staple.

[01:09:45] Jason Mantzoukas: This was an absolute delight.

[01:09:48] Jessica St. Clair: It was.

[01:09:48] Jason Mantzoukas: I, I watched this on the plane today.

[01:09:51] Jessica St. Clair: It was fun.

[01:09:51] Rory Scovel: Yeah.

[01:09:51] Jason Mantzoukas: I felt the woman next to me being like, what the fuck? Because I was like, rewind, rewind, rewind. Why would I be rewinding and taking notes?

[01:10:05] Taking notes, and honestly, sometimes taking notes like this. Why are they driving in the, like dictating notes into the phone?

[01:10:12] Jessica St. Clair: Crazy.

[01:10:12] Jason Mantzoukas: Saying it out loud.

[01:10:13] Jessica St. Clair: A crazy person.

[01:10:13] Jason Mantzoukas: Like a lunatic.

[01:10:16] Rory Scovel: I, when, when you guys said it was this movie, I thought it was gonna be a Mary Kate and Ashley Olson.

[01:10:22] Jessica St. Clair: I was hoping.

[01:10:23] Rory Scovel: And I was like, what? What’s happened to their show?

[01:10:27] Jason Mantzoukas: I’ll be honest. For me it meant only one thing and it was that maybe this was going to be a movie starring the Double Trouble twins.

[01:10:35] Paul Scheer: Oh.

[01:10:36] Jason Mantzoukas: Who were my first crush in, in as a child. Um, and it did not, but when I searched for this movie that did come up.

[01:10:44] Jessica St. Clair: It did.

[01:10:44] Jason Mantzoukas: So it does exist online, and I will now be watching all of the Double Trouble Show probably tonight in my hotel.

[01:10:49] Jessica St. Clair: Great.

[01:10:51] Paul Scheer: Good show. All right, so we all recommend it, Rory. Tell people where they can find you here in Denver or wherever. Wherever. Whatever you wanna tell ’em, tell ’em.

[01:11:39] Jason Mantzoukas: For Comedy Central that never aired on Comedy Central, but the entirety of it is on YouTube, if you like things like Detroiters or South Side or anything that’s funny. This show is absolutely fantastic. I can’t recommend it enough.

[01:13:54] That’s a wrap on Double Trouble. And you know what? The movie might have ended, but the Barbarian Brothers will live on. In my mind, I love doing these live shows. They are so much fun. If you want to come see How Did this Get Made Live? We’re gonna be in Toronto on May 9th. I wanna give a big shout out to Rory Scovel.

[01:14:13] He is one of the greats, uh, currently he’s living in Denver and doing amazing comedy shows there. So if you are in Denver and you wanna see great comedy and movie based comedy, ’cause he has his own like, kind of Mystery Science 3000 night in Denver, check out what Rory’s doing, follow him on all the social media platforms, and then if you wanna see him in the rest of the country, you can, it’s just gonna be a little bit more scattershot because, you know, he doesn’t live in everybody’s place that you live in. Anyway, you get how it works. Another big thank you to Jessica St. Clair. It’s been a blast having her on tour with us. Uh, Dinosaur Improv is actually bringing one of Jessica St. Clair’s partners out with us, uh, in our shows in Toronto and Chicago.
