EP. 369.5 — Last Looks: Double Trouble w/ Kristen Schaal & Tony Hale

[00:00:00] Paul Scheer: Is Jason up to the task? A bunny who can slam dunk and plastic surgery gone right. All this and more on today’s How Did This Get Made Last Looks. Hit the theme.

[00:00:14] Music: [Last Looks Intro Song]

[00:00:35] Paul Scheer: Hello, all you bodybuilders with itty bitty waist and big old booties. I am Paul Scheer, AKA, the third Paul brother, and welcome to How Did This Get Made Last Looks where you, the listener, get to voice your issues on Double Trouble. A movie that Discord user Graham S thinks should have had the tagline,

[00:00:55] “Double Trouble: They came to kick ass and wear crop tops and they’re down to one crop top.”

[00:01:04] Oh man. I like when I read these and they make me laugh right outta the gate. Thank you Graham S for that alt tagline. Remember, if you have an alt movie, tagline a title, submit it to us on our discord. We may just read it on the show.

[00:01:17] Now, coming up on today’s episode, oh, we got a big, big show. You’re gonna be hearing all your corrections and omissions on Double Trouble. I’ll even share an exclusive deleted scene from our Double Trouble Live Show with Rory Scovel and Jessica St. Clair. Then Jason and I will chat. I. With Kristen Schaal and Tony Hale, who have a brand new podcast called The Extraordinarians.

[00:01:39] And if you don’t know Tony and Kristen well, I mean, what are you doing? I mean, Tony Hale, uh, Arrested Development, Kristen Schaal, uh, Bob’s Burgers. I mean, these are, uh, A plus guests. I’m so excited to have them on the show. Um. And lastly, as always, I will reveal the title for next week’s episode. But before we get too far into all of that, I have to give a big shout out to Dan from Rochester for that opening song.

[00:02:04] Dan, you killed it. We love these songs, and if you have any Last Look episode themes. There is a brand new way to submit them. Go to HDTGM.com and click submit a song. That way you can upload your song right there on our homepage. You can also find that link in the show notes for this very episode.

[00:02:24] Remember, keep ’em short. 15 to 20 seconds is best. Okay. If you’re listening to this on Friday, we are in Toronto tonight. That’s right. We are in Toronto and we’re so excited to be back. But if you’re in Chicago this weekend, Dinosaur Improv with Jason, myself, Len Parem, Lisa Gilroy, and more are performing at The Den.

[00:02:44] Most shows are sold out. I think actually all the shows are sold out except for our matinee on Sunday. You could still get tickets for that. But if you’re in LA, you can see Dinosaur on May 31st and every week the Dark Web is alive. That’s right. Rob Huebel and I watching the Best of the Worst online, and this upcoming Friday the 23rd, we are doing a watch along of Sister Sensei, which is a movie made by the guy who made the video for karate rap.

[00:03:16] So. If none of those words make sense, start watching the Dark Web. It is on YouTube. It’s free every single Monday. Joyful Recollections of Trauma is out in paperback form. And what do you get with that? 20 extra pages. Plus, check this out. I updated my website. I did it all myself on Squarespace, I built a whole new section, a Show and Tell section.

[00:03:37] So if you read the book and you wanna see videos, pictures. I have a giant UCB section. I have a video of me meeting Michael Landon. I have a picture of me kissing my mom on the mouth. I mean, there is so much there for you to check out and I’m doing that just for fun. Uh, if you read the book, enjoy it. And it’s a nice compliment to the paperback, which has brand new essays and stories, uh, in there as well.

[00:03:59] Jason is on Taskmaster right now. First two episodes are up and it is glorious. He is absolutely hilarious on the show. So check out Taskmaster. You can watch that on YouTube. You can also watch it on the Task Master app. Oh boy. Oh boy, people. That’s all I got. So let’s get into it. Last week we talked at length about Double Trouble.

[00:04:19] Well, we had questions and we might have even missed a few things. Here is your chance to set us straight. Fact check us if you will. It is now time for corrections and omissions.

[00:04:30] Music: [Corrections and Omissions song]

[00:04:39] Paul Scheer: Thank you. The Action Jackson Five for that theme made just for this Double Trouble episode. That’s what I love. Action Jackson Five knows how to do it. Okay. I love when they are themed to the actual movie. You guys kill it. Thank you so much. Alright, let’s go to the Discord. Heidi B Vibrant Visionaries writes,

[00:05:00] “The twins are fraternal, not identical. At a point they both got plastic surgery to strengthen their jawlines and slim their noses. This may have made them look more similar.”

[00:05:11] Heidi B. I am digesting that as you’re telling me this. What? Oh my God. Okay, wait. Now she continues by saying,

[00:05:22] “An audience member mentioned the bodyguard had a Vincent Vega look that Tarantino might have been inspired by. That character was played by Tito Riva, who appears in from Dusk till Dawn with Tarantino and several more Robert Rodriguez films.”

[00:05:38] Well, great. I love that information, but you know what? You already blew my mind from the first thing. Uh, you can’t top it. I mean, now everybody else who comes after you, it it, it’s gonna be, honestly, it’s gonna be all downhill. I think. John, not Connor writes,

[00:05:50] “Double Trouble may be one of the most popular titles for a movie in cinematic history. The first page of search results on IMDB List 14 exact matches for Double Trouble, including an Elvis movie and a number of foreign films. Clearly the rhyme transcends translation. In fact, there was a movie called Double Trouble released this year and every year going back to 2022. Curiously, June. None of these are Olson twin movies.”

[00:06:19] Wow. Alright. But Scott does say,

[00:06:21] “Jason said he thought this was a Van Dam movie at first. He probably was confusing it with Double Impact.”

[00:06:28] You know what, I confused that with that one too.

[00:06:30] “Where Van Dam plays twins, which is not to be confused with the Van Dam movie, Double Team, which we already covered on How Did This Get Made.”

[00:06:39] Wow. Van Damm loves the doubles. Alright, let’s go to the phones. Eric from Colorado. What do you got?

[00:06:45] Listener: Hey Paul, this is Eric just got back from your Denver show. Double Trouble. Uh, I just have a quick observation and I was surprised nobody brought up during the show.

[00:06:55] I think there’s a reason that Bob, the assassin seemed like such a wholesome, approachable ginger kid. Well, it’s because he’s the same actor that played Will Robinson in the original Lost In Space. I felt like every time he brutally killed someone, I just kind of chuckled and thought, what’s this kid getting up to now? Anyway, I love the show. Come back to Denver soon. Thanks.

[00:07:18] Paul Scheer: I love that. That’s great. Uh, I don’t really have a connection to that character. I understand that reference. Uh, JR from the Discord adds,

[00:07:26] “Bill Mummy was also the kid that wished people into the cornfield on the original Twilight Zone.”

[00:07:32] I love that. There he is. Oh, very cute kid. Uh, alright, let’s go to Liz from Denver.

[00:07:38] Listener: Hi Paul. It’s Liz, the Barbarian sister from the Denver Live show about Double Trouble. I called because my husband and I noticed that Double Trouble has something very specific in common with an episode of a TV show that Jason was on. In the season three episode of Brooklyn Nine Nine called Terry Kitties.

[00:07:57] It has a plot involving a famously strong man, Terry Cruz in this case, uh, being given a kitten by other detectives to taunt him for not stopping the crime involving a cat burglar. So, uh, Jason was in that episode, but not in that particular subplot. So my question I guess, is, was Brooklyn Nine Nine inspired by Double Trouble.

[00:08:20] Thanks. You guys are great. Byebye

[00:08:22] Paul Scheer: Liz. Everything stems from Double Trouble. I think Jason would agree. And I also think the creators of Brooklyn Nine Nine would go, yes, you caught us. We stole from Double Trouble. So thank you Eagle Eye, Liz from Denver. What’s up, Luke from Indiana.

[00:08:41] Listener: Hello boys. Just calling.

[00:08:43] You guys probably already know this, but um, the Barbarian Brothers scene in, uh, Natural Born Killers is in the screenplay written by Quentin Tarantino. Uh, he name checks some sort of, and, uh, that and the Dennis Leary scene that was cut out and the Ashley Judd scene that was cut out are all in the screenplay.

[00:09:02] And Oliver Stone cut all that out and then put a bunch of Native American stuff in it that Tarantino did not write. And he hated that movie. So I’d like to think it’s because the Barbarian brothers were cut from it. Also, uh, if you guys haven’t read it, uh, 8 billion Genius. Great comic. Read that and since it is Paul, ask next time you guys come to the Den in Chicago. Please don’t schedule for Mother’s Day weekend ’cause we had stuff going on and I’d love to see you guys again. Bye, bye.

[00:09:31] Paul Scheer: Right. Okay. Yes. Um, I don’t know if we talked about it explicitly, uh, but you know what, let’s listen to that scene.

[00:09:37] Movie Audio: Simon and Norman. Hun, lemme ask you a question. What do you think of Mickey and mallory?

[00:09:41] I admire them.

[00:09:42] So do I.

[00:09:43] But how can you say that?

[00:09:46] They’re mesmerizing, hypnotizing. Have you seen Pumping Iron?

[00:09:50] Yes.

[00:09:51] And you’ve seen the scene where Arnold Schwarzenegger is talking to Lou Ferrigno through the power of the simple word and a snake eyed glare and a snake eye glare, Arnold was able to totally psych out any confidence for the last squashing him mentally before physically defeating him.

[00:10:04] He had the edge, the mind’s edge. Mickey and Mallory have that edge.

[00:10:08] Only on a much grander scale.

[00:10:10] They’ve hypnotized the nation.

[00:10:12] Yet, you two are both victims. Oh, Mickey and Mallory.

[00:10:17] Paul Scheer: Okay. At first I was like, oh, this is actually a pretty subdued performance. But then it becomes like, uh, one of those wrestling, uh, what do they call ’em?

[00:10:24] Promos, right? It just, it, it, it, it does transcend acting and just becomes like, uh, listen up here. Listen up here. Woody Arolsen. No. Uh, yeah, I get it. I get it. I think maybe even seeing it probably is a little bit more intense. Forgot that Robert Downey Jr. did a British accent in that movie. Alright, let’s go to Rebecca from Denver.

[00:10:44] I love the people calling in for that were at the live show.

[00:10:47] Listener: Hey Paul and Jason. This is Rebecca. I was at the Denver show. Um, I had a comment about Double Trouble. Um, I got really, I read the Wikipedia entry about the Paul Brothers. Wondering if they ate 36 eggs each each day or total. And so because I work in a library, because of course I do, I found the article that was cited in the Wikipedia entry.

[00:11:12] Um, and it is wonderful. Uh, I’m pretty sure the woman who wrote it was about in her sixties. It starts with. Excuse.

[00:11:25] And I realized that the reason why the Wikipedia entry is unclear about whether they’re eating 36 eggs each or 36 eggs total is because I think this woman could not tell the brothers apart because there are numerous times in the article she quotes, she’ll quote what one of them says, and then she just says, the twins say, because she doesn’t know if it’s David talking or Paul talking.

[00:11:48] Uh, Peter and David explain. Acting requires concentration and weightlifting. Is total concentration Peter, or is it David, says, yeah, it was, it was a fun article. Uh, thank you again for the night. Thank you for the podcast. I’ll talk to you all y’all later. Bye.

[00:12:02] Paul Scheer: Holy crap. First of all, thank you for your service and I’m saying that to all librarians.

[00:12:06] Thank you for your service, and that is hilarious. Uh, we are, we are gonna get further and further from the truth. Uh, things go on. I like the idea that they ate 36 eggs, but still don’t understand. So are you saying. Is your hypothesis that they together eat 36 because even at that point it’s a lot of eggs.

[00:12:26] Alright, back to the Discord. Uh, Fitzy 47 writes,

[00:12:30] “Nobody mentioned in the episode that James Deen’s character was named Chief O’Brien, which is clearly a nod to Cole Meanie. Star Trek Next Generation in Deep Space Nine Character with the same name.”

[00:12:40] Okay, first all Fitzy. I don’t believe that that is, I think this movie was way before Deep Space Nine.

[00:12:45] It had to be. Guess what? I’m not gonna look it up. And by the way, as an engineer on a Starship, he should have been named after me. Billups. That’s right. I got to go to fan nights at Universal. It was fun. Walked around, grew a mustache to, I didn’t grow a mustache for that, but I had a mustache. I looked like Billups.

[00:13:03] Um, anyway, it was fun. For me, uh, Lizard Breath writes,

[00:13:07] “During the show, the question was asked What happened to David and Peter Paul, and being from Rhode Island myself, I needed to know more about them.”

[00:13:13] Okay, so yes, I did have this question too. I want you to know I didn’t bring it up in the show because I. It’s a little dark, so everybody brace yourself. All right. Uh, Lizard Breath continues.

[00:13:24] “Unfortunately, Peter had some mental struggles, which I won’t go into because he deserves his privacy. And David moved back to Rhode Island where he pursued art, photography, music, film directing, and interior design. He designed the interior of a Rhode Island ice cream parlor called Moose Trackers. And I went there and honestly, it’s beautiful. Unfortunately, around the time of the. Parlor, uh, opening David passed away. I really think it was gonna be his next career. He put a lot of care and effort into it, and it shows. Sorry, this is a long one, but I was truly touched learning more about the brothers, and I’m including a few photos I took of the parlor.”

[00:13:56] Not wrong. Not wrong. Lizard breath. This is a beautiful ice cream shop and, uh, I’m glad to have a little bit of sunlight and I think you’re, you respected, uh, Peter’s mental struggles really well. Uh, alright, so there you go, people. Uh, a little history on the Paul Brothers. So many great Corrections and Omissions this week, but there is only one winner, and I said it right in the top.

[00:14:19] There’s no one that could beat it. It was a shock to me as I read it, but Heidi B Vibrant Visionaries, you are the winner for revealing that these brothers had plastic surgery to look like each other. I am blown away and you get nothing, but you get this amazing theme from Tyler Mann. Hit it. Tyler.

[00:14:42] Music: [Winner’s song]

[00:14:44] Paul Scheer: Alright, if you wanna chime in with your own thoughts about the latest episode, hit up the Discord at Discord.gg/HDTGM, or call us at six one nine P-A-U-L-A-S-K. And once again, you can find our new song submission link at HDTGM.com or in the show notes of this very episode. Coming up. After the break, Jason and I will chat with Kristen Schaal and Tony Hale.

[00:15:02] But first, take a listen to the bonus deleted scene from our Double Trouble Show, where we talk with an audience member about sibling relationships.

[00:15:09] (Back at show) Craig, what do you got?

[00:15:10] Audience Member: Uh, so, uh, I have a question about the chemistry of these twins who we see, like, like personally, I don’t feel like they had much chemistry. Okay.

[00:15:20] Jessica St. Clair: I agree.

[00:15:20] Audience Member: I think that, uh, on a scale of like a Kinsey scale or if we’re gonna go like with like a Bechdel test, the, uh, like Folgers, like siblings commercial between like two people who are not related to each other, having so much chemistry that it like leans into incest versus the Barbarian twins who are apparently sharing the same womb and have no chemistry.

[00:15:47] Where do we think that, like I think that that should be proposed as like a new scale of chemistry when it comes to assembling relationship.

[00:15:55] Jessica St. Clair: You’re a scholar, sir. You’re a gentleman and a scholar.

[00:15:58] Paul Scheer: Good question.

[00:15:58] Jason Mantzoukas: The chemistry, the chemistry scale is only for people that are related to each other.

[00:16:04] Jessica St. Clair: It’s chemistry.

[00:16:05] Audience Member: And representation of film. It, you know, representation matters.

[00:16:09] Jason Mantzoukas: Representation of incest?

[00:16:10] Audience Member: Representation.

[00:16:11] Jason Mantzoukas: I’m sorry. Have we gone through the looking glass with incest? Are we just now all incest, pilled?

[00:16:19] Audience Member: I’m talking about chemistry here. Chemistry of sibling relationships in movies. Like there is like, oh wow, that’s way too much. Like you look like you’re fucking on screen right now versus these two who look like they’ve never met despite having come out of the same vagina within an hour of each other.

[00:16:37] Paul Scheer: So it’s like cruel intentions might be at the, or a Folger’s commercial at the top, cruel intentions probably closer. And then these guys at the bottom for you.

[00:16:46] Jessica St. Clair: Agreed.

[00:16:46] Paul Scheer: Here’s what I will say. If you told me that it was the same actor playing both parts of it, it’s like, yeah, that makes sense.

[00:16:52] Jessica St. Clair: Exactly.

[00:16:53] Jason Mantzoukas: Yeah.

[00:16:54] Jessica St. Clair: I think so. Well, the other problem is they were so close, a lot of their scenes for some reason were very close to each other.

[00:17:00] Jason Mantzoukas: They’re so big, it’s hard to frame them.

[00:17:02] Jessica St. Clair: But that, and that’s true. But also.

[00:17:04] Jason Mantzoukas: I’m, I’m being honest, I, I wrote that multiple times in this frame they both can’t fit.

[00:17:08] Jessica St. Clair: Their chest too, create some distance between each other.

[00:17:12] Jason Mantzoukas: So one has to be, they have to layer them.

[00:17:14] Jessica St. Clair: They have to layer.

[00:17:14] Jason Mantzoukas: They’ve gotta layer the barbarian.

[00:17:16] Rory Scovel: I also, I just saw also wanna remind everybody that they, they weren’t supposed to get along in this. And I, I think that they probably have an incredible relationship offscreen.

[00:17:28] Jessica St. Clair: I’m sure they do. I’m sure they do.

[00:17:29] Rory Scovel: They have to get dinner one night and go, Hey, you know, when we start shooting we gotta cut this shit out and we need to get a lot of our lines wrong. We need to trip when we’re not supposed to. I like and hold a gun like. Dude, we ought to do that stuff. So lose all knowledge of everything and then shoot.

[00:17:48] Jason Mantzoukas: So you are proposing that they are method actors?

[00:17:50] Rory Scovel: I think they’re incredible method actors.

[00:17:52] Jason Mantzoukas: It’s the barbarian Brothers. It’s, it’s, it’s, uh, Jeremy Strong. It’s.

[00:17:57] Jessica St. Clair: Daniel Day Lewis.

[00:17:58] Jason Mantzoukas: It’s, it’s DDL.

[00:18:03] Paul Scheer: Welcome back. I know that you know that every single week we re-release old How Did This Get Made episodes in the feed. Uh, this past week we rereleased Spider-Man three with Kulop Vilaysack. Uh, check it out. It’s a fun episode. I love that one. Uh, anyway, without any further ado, Jason and I are gonna chat with Kristen Schaal and Tony Hale.

[00:18:22] Kristen was last on our pod for the classic Howard the Duck episode, but today her and Tony are here to talk about their brand new podcast, the Extraordinarians. They share this podcast with Matt Oberg, another immensely talented, funny guy who you might recognize as the guy from the commercials with Sam Jackson.

[00:18:39] I think it’s Capital One. Uh, this guy is fantastic and actually working with June right now. In the Legally Blonde Prequel Show, uh, their show is fantastic. I can’t wait to hear what they’re up to because I am obsessed with Guinness World Book records. I am obsessed with the record holders, why they’re doing it, how they’re doing it.

[00:18:59] Uh, so without any further ado, let’s bring them in with a song from Rob from Long Island.

[00:19:06] Music: [Just Chat song]

[00:19:11] Paul Scheer: Welcome to the show, you two. This has been, uh, I’m excited. I’m excited that you have a podcast together with, uh, Matt Oberg, another, uh, a great guy.

[00:19:21] Tony Hale: Great guy.

[00:19:22] Kristen Schaal: Great guy.

[00:19:23] Jason Mantzoukas: Great guy.

[00:19:24] Paul Scheer: Wow. It seems like, I mean, it sounds like you guys were hesitating just a little bit. I, I, I, you know, like, you know.

[00:19:30] Jason Mantzoukas: Uh, great guy.

[00:19:31] Paul Scheer: Yeah.

[00:19:31] Kristen Schaal: I’ve never heard him described that way, so I.

[00:19:33] Paul Scheer: Oh, wow. Okay.

[00:19:34] Jason Mantzoukas: Great guy?

[00:19:34] Tony Hale: Yeah. Yeah.

[00:19:35] Paul Scheer: Alright. Interesting. Alright.

[00:19:36] Jason Mantzoukas: Yeah. Great guy?

[00:19:38] Paul Scheer: Yeah.

[00:19:39] Jason Mantzoukas: Is he a great guy?

[00:19:41] Kristen Schaal: What is great?

[00:19:44] Paul Scheer: Uh, like we said already, your, your show is called The Extraordinarians. You are interviewing Guinness World Record Holders. I wanna just know how this idea came up for you all because this is something that I reference a lot. I love, I just love that there’s a book out there and my kids have recently got into the Guinness World Record book and I just feel like,

[00:20:06] Tony Hale: Wow.

[00:20:06] Paul Scheer: Have this been something that you’ve been fascinated by since you were kids or what?

[00:20:10] Kristen Schaal: Surprisingly, uh, that great guy came up with it.

[00:20:15] Paul Scheer: Oh, wow. So talk, wow, this is.

[00:20:17] Tony Hale: Surprisingly key.

[00:20:18] Kristen Schaal: Wish he was here, he was reading that book to his eldest and then he was like, ah, this would be a great podcast. And he told, he told us about it. And we said you did it again, great guy.

[00:20:32] Jason Mantzoukas: Another great idea from a great guy.

[00:20:34] Tony Hale: Great guy. It’s not even, uh, it’s not even Guinness. We interview people who just do kind of extraordinary things, whether they break a record or not. So it’s, but like we’ve had some really look, one guy Slack lined between two hot air balloons.

[00:20:49] Jason Mantzoukas: What?

[00:20:50] Tony Hale: And yeah. And, um, just like,

[00:20:53] Kristen Schaal: I mean, that was a Guinness record, Tony.

[00:20:55] Tony Hale: That was a Guinness record. Yeah. And then there was an actually a lot of more only done Guinness records.

[00:20:59] Paul Scheer: What, what, what do we know?

[00:21:01] Jason Mantzoukas: But this show is not underwritten by Big Guinness, is it?

[00:21:04] Kristen Schaal: No, that’s, we wanna.

[00:21:05] Tony Hale: No, no, no.

[00:21:06] Kristen Schaal: Yes. No it’s not.

[00:21:06] Paul Scheer: But you are sponsored by, by Guinness, the beer, which is confusing.

[00:21:10] Jason Mantzoukas: Yes.

[00:21:10] Paul Scheer: Uh. For the audience. I think, uh.

[00:21:13] Kristen Schaal: We have to smash Guinness before every podcast and during.

[00:21:16] Jason Mantzoukas: Oh god.

[00:21:17] Tony Hale: Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[00:21:18] Paul Scheer: You guys feel, I mean, I will say this and it’s another thing I say often, but you guys feel full during the show. Like when I, like you really feel like it’s, you feel way down.

[00:21:26] Jason Mantzoukas: I listen to it and that there’s a lot, I mean, you guys do talk about the records and stuff, but you’d spend a lot of time talking about that’s a really nice head on that Guinness.

[00:21:33] Kristen Schaal: Yeah.

[00:21:35] Tony Hale: That’s true.

[00:21:36] Kristen Schaal: I’m always thinking about the head.

[00:21:40] Paul Scheer: Well, you like, the cool thing about your house is that you have, uh, Guinness on tap there and you’re really, you really perfect that head.

[00:21:46] Kristen Schaal: I, I lick that head up. I, you know, there was, uh, this is a, are allowed to go on tangents?

[00:21:54] Paul Scheer: Oh, please, yes.

[00:21:55] Jason Mantzoukas: I’m sorry. Please, Kristen, please stay on topic, please.

[00:21:57] Paul Scheer: Yeah, please. This is, by the way, the most on topic we.

[00:21:59] Jason Mantzoukas: Please stay on topic.

[00:22:00] Paul Scheer: This is the most on topic we’ve ever been.

[00:22:02] Jason Mantzoukas: This is a podcast. We don’t just have a chat. We, this is not loose.

[00:22:07] Kristen Schaal: I’ll, I’ll stay on. I’ll stay on my point.

[00:22:10] Paul Scheer: Stay on Target.

[00:22:11] Kristen Schaal: My good head.

[00:22:15] Jason Mantzoukas: Please, Schaal go ahead.

[00:22:17] Kristen Schaal: Uh, have you ever been to the Hearst Castle?

[00:22:19] Paul Scheer: Yeah.

[00:22:21] Kristen Schaal: Um, I was taking a tour once and, uh, William Randolph first hated when people got drunk at parties. Okay. He, so he locked all the hard alcohol away, um, in this beautiful cabinet, and everyone would get one cocktail at dinner and that’s it. Um.

[00:22:36] Tony Hale: Wow.

[00:22:37] Kristen Schaal: And I just love that detail. And then, and then they’d take you through the kitchen where he had beer on tap all day and night. Uh, so people would be, but back.

[00:22:46] Paul Scheer: Wait, because beer doesn’t make you drunk in his mind it’s just hard liquor.

[00:22:50] Kristen Schaal: It’s like Gatorade back then. It’s like cleaner than water. They’re gonna need it to play tennis.

[00:22:55] Jason Mantzoukas: Yeah. ’cause back then you couldn’t drink water. Water was like not drinkable.

[00:22:58] Kristen Schaal: Yeah. And now we’re going back to that. It’s like full circle.

[00:23:01] Jason Mantzoukas: Oh, yeah, yeah. No, we’re, we’re going back to it now all of our water is coming from Flint and is flammable.

[00:23:08] Kristen Schaal: Yeah. All of our water’s been lit on fire in January and we’re okay.

[00:23:12] Paul Scheer: But I do have a question about this, and this is been.

[00:23:14] Jason Mantzoukas: So many, many tangents.

[00:23:15] Paul Scheer: A straw poll that I’ve been taking. When you were kids was water a part of your like, oh yeah. Oh, let me go get a glass of water. Because for me, that was never, no part of the, the story, it was never like water was.

[00:23:27] Tony Hale: No, it was Capri Sun’s.

[00:23:28] Paul Scheer: Yes. A hundred percent Capri Sun’s, orange juice. Yeah. Even sometimes milk. Uh, honestly, it was anything.

[00:23:34] Tony Hale: Many times milk.

[00:23:35] Jason Mantzoukas: If we were lucky, we had those little plastic jugs that had like a fruit punch in it that in my area.

[00:23:42] Tony Hale: Oh yeah.

[00:23:43] Jason Mantzoukas: Teenies. I think Teenies.

[00:23:45] Paul Scheer: They were called grenades where I was from.

[00:23:47] Jason Mantzoukas: Oh. ’cause they were shaped like little grenades or barrels maybe.

[00:23:50] Paul Scheer: Yeah, barrels.

[00:23:50] Jason Mantzoukas: Yeah. Your, those were like barrels. Ours didn’t look like barrels, but I’ve seen that. Ours were called teenies and they looked like little like squares or little squat things. Yeah. That was a big thing. We would rather drink rancid milk than water when I was growing up.

[00:24:03] Tony Hale: Like a lot of soda, too lot.

[00:24:05] Paul Scheer: A lot of soda.

[00:24:06] Tony Hale: Yeah.

[00:24:07] Paul Scheer: There was a time when I was living in New York, starting off doing UCB that after a show, my friend and I would go back to my apartment and just both get like a two liter bottle of Coke and just be drinking that and playing video games like late night. Just.

[00:24:21] Jason Mantzoukas: What a life.

[00:24:22] Paul Scheer: Dreamcast and two liters of Coke.

[00:24:24] It was like, but this is terrible.

[00:24:25] Tony Hale: Pre, pre bottled water. Like we didn’t grow up bottle.

[00:24:28] Paul Scheer: Yeah. There was nothing else to get at the deli. You just get that. Yeah.

[00:24:30] Jason Mantzoukas: Oh yeah.

[00:24:31] Paul Scheer: Have you ever tried to attempt to break a record? Do you have, do you have respect for these people that are breaking records? Because I.

[00:24:37] Tony Hale: Oh my gosh.

[00:24:37] Paul Scheer: I feel like. You will say, well, that’s dumb. I could do that. And then when you even try to attempt anything like it, it seemingly is absolutely impossible.

[00:24:47] Tony Hale: Yeah. Every.

[00:24:47] Paul Scheer: I think that that’s the thing. I, yeah.

[00:24:48] Tony Hale: Every time we talk to these people it’s, I remember like one of the people was, they won, this was actually maybe not Guinness record, Kris, I might be wrong.

[00:24:56] But, um, the wonderful girl who was the pun who won the pun competition, and she’s like. 21 or something like that. But you can see ever since a young age, she would have this grid in her head where like she would see different words and just trying to find these puns. And now she’s a songwriter. And then there was a guy who stuck toothpicks in his beard.

[00:25:14] And how many toothpicks he could stick in his beard.

[00:25:16] Jason Mantzoukas: Oh wait, how many did he get?

[00:25:18] Tony Hale: I think it was like six. Six.

[00:25:18] Jason Mantzoukas: I’m curious, I feel I, I, maybe I could beat this.

[00:25:20] Tony Hale: I think Jason, this is not a time for competition. For you.

[00:25:24] Jason Mantzoukas: Come on Tony.

[00:25:24] Tony Hale: Let these people have their moments.

[00:25:26] Paul Scheer: Get Jason on your show.

[00:25:28] Tony Hale: But it’s like, you see the, you see the passion and the drive and the dedication. You know, it’s like this one kid, the record was eight somersaults in the air after, out of a trampoline. And he’s like, we’re getting nine. And all the like, si the science behind the bounce and the trampoline’s actually in the ground. And like, I mean, it’s just like such, um, focus for these people and it’s, you always go away from it being like, well, I’m not doing anything with my life.

[00:25:51] Paul Scheer: Well, that’s the thing. It’s like even that idea, like I have, this is a lot of toothpicks I got in my beard.

[00:25:55] Tony Hale: Yeah.

[00:25:55] Paul Scheer: Let me go for it. Let me go for the record. And then you have to figure out is there a record like in that?

[00:26:01] Tony Hale: Yeah.

[00:26:01] Paul Scheer: I’m also fur, I’m not furious. I am, uh, curious about what makes a Guinness World Book record and just a record. I mean, are, are, are therein.

[00:26:12] Jason Mantzoukas: Are Guinness records proprietary? What does that mean? Like, is it kind of like if you write a sketch at SNL, it belongs to SNL? If you, if you get a, a record through Guinness, do they claim you, do they own your record?

[00:26:23] Kristen Schaal: Great question.

[00:26:24] Tony Hale: That’s a really good question.

[00:26:25] Jason Mantzoukas: Thank you. I pride myself in my questions.

[00:26:27] Tony Hale: Okay. Again, we don’t need to, this is not a time to promote yourself, Jason.

[00:26:30] Kristen Schaal: I mean, what are we doing here? I think that, uh, I think Guiness has just has a famous book and they have like a whole team behind it so they can verify it. They have the money, so you could set a record and they’d be like, well, is it, did it beat the one in Guinness? And also all these people are creating records to go into Guiness.

[00:26:49] Jason Mantzoukas: Okay.

[00:26:50] Kristen Schaal: Like they’re making ’em up. Like one guy like blew balloons. The as in 90 seconds, he blew up the most balloons. And then he like told Guinness he did it, and they’re like, okay, well let you know. Here’s the parameters. We’ll put it in our book, but you need to record it. You need this and that and all this shit.

[00:27:07] Tony Hale: Yeah. This is the same guy. I wanna say, like, he did like a 24 hour thing, didn’t he, Kristen? He, he had, I think he blew, blew like.

[00:27:12] Kristen Schaal: No, that’s his dream, babe. That’s his dream.

[00:27:14] Tony Hale: Oh, that was his dream. That’s right. So like in certain sort of a time he did like, th a thousand balloons or something, and he did it in this, uh, ballroom and there was a wedding going on next door and the bride came in and said, can we have these for our, our wedding? He’s like, sure. So he like. Made their day and like brought all those balloons over.

[00:27:30] Jason Mantzoukas: Wow.

[00:27:31] Paul Scheer: I like that.

[00:27:32] Jason Mantzoukas: That’s cool.

[00:27:33] Kristen Schaal: I think what I like about, about interviewing these people too is I like being around people who create stuff. Like you guys, you know, like you’re writing books and movies and making podcasts and comedy shows all the time, and there’s, there’s just that drive that’s like, I need to do the thing and I’m going to do it, and it’s, yeah.

[00:27:50] It’s something that in our world is specific to these projects. So it’s fun to see that this quality in other human endeavors that are so.

[00:27:58] Jason Mantzoukas: Yeah, it’s fun to that it, to see it applied to something else. ’cause it’s one thing to just be like, Hey, I can fit a bunch of toothpicks in my beard, or whatever it was.

[00:28:07] Tony Hale: Yeah.

[00:28:07] Jason Mantzoukas: But it’s another thing to be like, I should be recognized for this.

[00:28:10] Paul Scheer: Well, and I also just.

[00:28:11] Kristen Schaal: The ambition, that’s what I love. The ambition.

[00:28:13] Jason Mantzoukas: Yes.

[00:28:13] Tony Hale: And they’re having a great time. This one, this one guy who like set records of the hottest sauce. He didn’t just eat things with sauce on it. He like. Drank the sauce.

[00:28:21] Paul Scheer: Oh God.

[00:28:22] Tony Hale: Yeah. And he like his wife. His wife like throwing it together. But after he’s finished, he’s like lying on the concrete floor in his bathroom just to soothe his body and his stomach. And then he gets past it. But it’s such a drive in him and he has all these awards. He has like merch.

[00:28:39] Jason Mantzoukas: Wow.

[00:28:39] Tony Hale: Like it’s just like, he just loves it. He’s creating a sauce.

[00:28:42] Jason Mantzoukas: It’s that thing you’re talking about that drive, that drive to be, to pursue. Uh, to give yourself a challenge or a, a goal and to pursue it even if it doesn’t make sense or even a personal harm. Like I feel like that’s, but the, the, what you’re talking about is what’s so interesting about those people, and I feel like the example I can think of is the King of Kong, the documentary King of Kong.

[00:29:02] ’cause like what could be more low stakes than beating the arcade game version of Donkey Kong. But yet those are some of the most. Steve Weeby and Billy Mitchell. I remember these names. These are, yeah. These characters, these people, these real people became such characters in their pursuit of greatness, you know?

[00:29:21] Tony Hale: Yeah, yeah.

[00:29:21] Jason Mantzoukas: Um, on such a ephemeral thing, you know?

[00:29:25] Tony Hale: Yeah.

[00:29:26] Kristen Schaal: Yeah. It’s about, I also just like pushing your comfort too. I, all these people are doing something that, you know, it, it’s like, it’s just over and over again. Like you’re saying, like practice, like it’s not comfortable. It’s not easy. I think we’re in a time right now where everybody thinks things are easy and they’re keeping their lives is like I. Just, I don’t know, like nobody’s like putting themselves out there as much in a way. Like they’re not tending the fields like they used to.

[00:29:52] Paul Scheer: Well, I think when it’s, well, I, I think like when I used to get that Guinness book, it was amazing. You sit down with it and you’d look at it and you’d be like, whoa, this guy, these guys are motorcycle twins.

[00:30:02] Look at these fingernails, right? They’re like images that are ingrained in my memory, but now on Instagram. Or whatever you see, or TikTok, you’re watching people do crazy stuff. So I also feel like it’s, um, like how do you find that niche? How do you get that inspiration? You know, it’s like you have to really kind of figure it out.

[00:30:22] But I would also imagine because of all those things, you will allow a lot more people to get into the, the world breaking record, uh, game. Because they can just get it out there. They can get it up right away.

[00:30:33] Jason Mantzoukas: It also sounds like people are creating their own categories, you know? Um, to, to create, like not just breaking a record that exists, but creating a record that doesn’t. That’s interesting.

[00:30:44] Paul Scheer: Well, how about this? I, I, we have a little bit of a game here, uh, called World Record, over and under. I’m gonna give you a world record, uh, and you have to guess if this record is over or under that number. So this is a good one right here. Okay.

[00:30:56] Tony Hale: Alright.

[00:30:56] Paul Scheer: The most canned drinks open by a parrot in one minute. Is it over or under 30? The most canned drinks open by a parrot.

[00:31:06] Jason Mantzoukas: Now here’s a question.

[00:31:07] Paul Scheer: Yeah.

[00:31:07] Jason Mantzoukas: I’m gonna, while, while Tony and Kristen think about it, my question is, was this one of the parrots that you grew up with?

[00:31:13] Paul Scheer: Uh, yes. I did grow up with parrots. They did not open. My parents never opened, uh, cans.

[00:31:19] Tony Hale: Mm-hmm.

[00:31:19] Jason Mantzoukas: Okay.

[00:31:19] Paul Scheer: Uh, they would imitate Peewee Herman and they would eat the wood off the wall.

[00:31:23] Jason Mantzoukas: Okay.

[00:31:23] Paul Scheer: So we had to put Tabasco sauce on that, uh, to.

[00:31:26] Jason Mantzoukas: Just because they liked it spicy.

[00:31:27] Paul Scheer: Yeah.

[00:31:28] Jason Mantzoukas: Yeah.

[00:31:28] Tony Hale: Can we put a pin in that conversation about you growing up with parrots?

[00:31:32] Kristen Schaal: I wanna, I have. So many questions.

[00:31:34] Jason Mantzoukas: Oh, I’m so sorry, guys. Did get, did you not wanna just breeze right past this gem?

[00:31:38] Tony Hale: I’m sorry. How many parrots are we talking about that you grew up with?

[00:31:42] Paul Scheer: We had two. We had two, uh, big parrots and then, uh, when we first started, two big parrots. And then, uh, budgie. Then, uh, two or three other birds. Uh, so it was, it was a room of birds.

[00:31:55] Jason Mantzoukas: A room of birds.

[00:31:56] Tony Hale: So a zoo.

[00:31:58] Paul Scheer: A zoo, a small zoo.

[00:31:59] Jason Mantzoukas: So an aviary.

[00:32:02] Tony Hale: So would you ever, having had that experience, would you ever have a bird as an adult?

[00:32:06] Paul Scheer: Never.

[00:32:07] Tony Hale: Never.

[00:32:08] Paul Scheer: Never.

[00:32:08] Kristen Schaal: Thank you.

[00:32:08] Paul Scheer: Never.

[00:32:09] Kristen Schaal: Campaigning for a parrot like you wouldn’t believe for the, for three years. She will not stop.

[00:32:13] Paul Scheer: Whoa.

[00:32:14] Jason Mantzoukas: Did she have some exposure to a parrot or something or is it.

[00:32:17] Kristen Schaal: No, she’s in love with birds. We fight against her that she, if she can like get a wild raven to be her friend, that’s her bird.

[00:32:24] Paul Scheer: Here’s what I’ll say. Uh, and for those people who own birds, God bless. Uh, yeah, bless you. I lived my life with them for a very long time.

[00:32:32] They’re loud. They’re very loud, even, you know, and, and they should be like, you know, they are birds. They are reacting. And especially if you put them outta the window, you’re seeing cars, they’re seeing things happen. They’re gonna talk, they’re gonna yell, they’re gonna wake you up at all hours of the night.

[00:32:47] You, you know, it, it’s, it’s an intense.

[00:32:50] Tony Hale: Which parent was the bird person?

[00:32:52] Paul Scheer: So my, uh, my mom married a gentleman who came with birds. He, like, we, we like, yeah. So we weren’t, I was not a part of the bird.

[00:33:00] Jason Mantzoukas: So these were step. These were step birds.

[00:33:01] Paul Scheer: Step birds, yeah. These, I, the, I was married into the birds, uh, and then the birds.

[00:33:05] So the birds kind of came in, gosh, for me, as a freshman in high school.

[00:33:09] Tony Hale: Wow.

[00:33:09] Paul Scheer: And stayed until probably, uh, oh, well, well, they stayed all the way till my mom finally, uh, gave one away when she moved out here to Los Angeles, which was the right move.

[00:33:20] Tony Hale: Oh. So she still has a couple?

[00:33:22] Paul Scheer: Well, one, one was left, one was accidentally killed.

[00:33:25] Uh, you know, uh, and you know, there, and then two.

[00:33:27] Tony Hale: By Mr. Scheer?

[00:33:29] Paul Scheer: Was not by, not by me. Not by me. Okay. Uh, it was a, uh, a venting issue in our house, uh, with, uh, stove. They were above the stoves.

[00:33:37] Jason Mantzoukas: Foul play, Tony. Foul. I’m hearing, I’m hearing foul play.

[00:33:40] Tony Hale: Totally.

[00:33:40] Paul Scheer: But none of this should distract you from trying to figure out how many can drinks.

[00:33:44] Tony Hale: Yes.

[00:33:44] Paul Scheer: Open by in one minute. Zach, the McCaw? Yeah, there he is.

[00:33:48] Jason Mantzoukas: Oh wow.

[00:33:49] Tony Hale: I would say over. I think.

[00:33:51] Paul Scheer: Alright, over you say over 30 cans.

[00:33:52] Kristen Schaal: I say over too.

[00:33:53] Jason Mantzoukas: I’m gonna say over as well. And the reason is because I would expect a, a parrot that shops at 365 Whole Foods to be able to do more than 30.

[00:34:02] Paul Scheer: Yes, the picture does have a mat, the 365 Whole Foods.

[00:34:04] So yes, the answer is over 35 has the number that he did, 35 canned drinks in one minute. One minute. Um, I do.

[00:34:13] Jason Mantzoukas: I mean, like, he’d be a great barback, you know, he really just opening cans for everybody.

[00:34:19] Kristen Schaal: Oh, everybody would be so pleased.,

[00:34:21] Paul Scheer: By the way, I mean now I’m not positive, but did the Hurst, he used to have a one too.

[00:34:25] William Randolph Hurst used to have a parrot at the, the castle.

[00:34:28] Tony Hale: Yeah. Hey, Paul, when you see this picture, does it genuinely trigger something in you.

[00:34:32] Paul Scheer: Um, you know, I’m so, like, I have a relief. Like I love to see kids studying for tests or freaking out about papers. ’cause it’s like, ah, I don’t have to do that.

[00:34:42] So seeing this burden nowhere near me is like, ah, it’s a relief. I don’t have this in my life anymore. That’s good. Like it, it, it shows me, uh, I have a pride or, uh, a satisfaction I should say.

[00:34:51] Tony Hale: I got it. I got it.

[00:34:52] Kristen Schaal: Tony, you have to read Paul’s book.

[00:34:54] Tony Hale: Oh, I heard. Oh, oh yes. Let’s call this.

[00:34:57] Paul Scheer: It’s, uh, it’s now out in paperback, uh, as, uh, by this recording it will be and has 20 extra pages in it.

[00:35:02] Jason Mantzoukas: If you think discovering that Paul grew up in a house full of birds was shockingly new information, Tony. Buckle up. The book is.

[00:35:13] Kristen Schaal: Oh my God.

[00:35:13] Jason Mantzoukas: One revelation after another.

[00:35:15] Paul Scheer: Parrots aren’t even, even in the book. Parrot didn’t even make the book.

[00:35:17] Tony Hale: They’re not in the book?

[00:35:18] Paul Scheer: Parrots didn’t even make the book.

[00:35:20] Tony Hale: Was that your, to spite them? You’re like, you’re not gonna make the book.

[00:35:23] Paul Scheer: I’ve forgotten a lot of these stories. That’s the problem is like, I, I only had enough. I filled it up and then I was like, oh, there, remember all these other things.

[00:35:29] Kristen Schaal: I have it by my bed.

[00:35:30] Paul Scheer: Yes. Oh yeah. I love it.

[00:35:34] Kristen Schaal: But Tony, you love trauma and this is like, like talking about trauma.

[00:35:37] Jason Mantzoukas: Tony, you love trauma.

[00:35:40] Kristen Schaal: On abuse.

[00:35:41] Jason Mantzoukas: Speak on that. Will you?

[00:35:43] Kristen Schaal: You love this.

[00:35:46] Paul Scheer: Uh, I will ask one other, uh, because we’re, keep the animal track going here. ’cause I think this is interesting. What the record for the most basketball slams in one minute by a rabbit. Is it over or under 18 Slam Dunks.

[00:36:02] Jason Mantzoukas: I, we, I hope we have footage of this because.

[00:36:04] Paul Scheer: We do have a video of this. This is, uh, Benny the bunny. Benny the bunny. How many slam dunks did Benny the bunny do? Is it over under 18?

[00:36:14] Jason Mantzoukas: I’m gonna say over.

[00:36:16] Tony Hale: I’m gonna say under.

[00:36:17] Kristen Schaal: Yeah, me too. They don’t have hands, like.

[00:36:20] Paul Scheer: Yeah. Well that’s, that’s the tricky one. Let, let’s see the video and let’s count it off. Here we go.

[00:36:25] Video Audio: My name is, uh, Shi We are in LA right now.

[00:36:28] Jason Mantzoukas: Okay. Pause. I’m gonna need you. What are we up to here? But you see, it’s, it. Now, normally it should just cut in on the, the rabbit.

[00:36:39] Tony Hale: Right.

[00:36:40] Jason Mantzoukas: But we get, we get real owner time. We get Shi, the owner, now this is, this is who the video is. This is who the record is for.

[00:36:47] Paul Scheer: Yes.

[00:36:48] Jason Mantzoukas: Yeah. You guys gotta get, you guys gotta talk to Shi. Go ahead.

[00:36:50] Tony Hale: Yeah. He’s wearing a very tight.

[00:36:52] Paul Scheer: Very tight.

[00:36:53] Tony Hale: Very tight to showcase his his body before we get to know the rabbit.

[00:36:57] Jason Mantzoukas: Here’s the thing though, he’s jacked. He looks great.

[00:36:59] Tony Hale: He’s jacked.

[00:36:59] Kristen Schaal: I’m not mad about.

[00:37:00] Jason Mantzoukas: Yeah.

[00:37:01] Kristen Schaal: What he’s wearing.

[00:37:01] Jason Mantzoukas: Yeah, he’s yeah. Yeah. Tony, don’t be so jealous. Just ’cause he is jacked.

[00:37:05] Tony Hale: This dad bought his pissed!

[00:37:07] Paul Scheer: He does look like he’s wearing a Superman shirt because he is, he’s so ripped.

[00:37:11] And it’s like It does. You put an S on there, you’re be ready to go. Yeah. Shi. s for shy. Uh, Scott, do we have the we up to the video? We don’t have to watch more interviews with Shi.

[00:37:19] Video Audio: Well, in LA right now.

[00:37:20] Jason Mantzoukas: Oh, they’re in la.

[00:37:21] Paul Scheer: Go visit them.

[00:37:22] Video Audio: Guinness World Records title is most slam dunks by a rabbit in a minute.

[00:37:26] Paul Scheer: Okay, here we go.

[00:37:27] Video Audio: And he got seven.

[00:37:28] Paul Scheer: Seven.

[00:37:28] Video Audio: It was very easy to achieve his record ’cause Benny likes to play basketball every night before he goes to sleep.

[00:37:35] Tony Hale: That’s nice.

[00:37:35] Video Audio: One day I caught Benny playing with a, a ball and uh, a box and I decided to develop his talent and I bought him a little hoop and a little basketball.

[00:37:46] Tony Hale: A little outfit.

[00:37:46] Paul Scheer: Guys, get this guy on your show. Seven, seven basketball. You were right. Uh, under. Under there seven slam dunks.

[00:37:54] Kristen Schaal: That was so endearing.

[00:37:56] Jason Mantzoukas: It’s very cute. Benny, the bunny is, I will say incredibly cute.

[00:38:00] Tony Hale: Yeah. But the basketball height’s not standard. I just wanted that out there.

[00:38:03] Paul Scheer: I agree. Thank you Tony. And that’s like, yeah. They’re not really basketball slam dunks. Yeah. Uh, they really just seem like put backs.

[00:38:08] Jason Mantzoukas: Wow. You guys are brutal. You guys. Wow. You really harsh.

[00:38:12] Paul Scheer: This is why the show, this is why the show works.

[00:38:14] Jason Mantzoukas: I’m wondering, as you guys are doing this show and meeting these people and talking to these people. This is my pitch. are, are you formulating a plan to create a record for yourselves? Are you now, are you, is part of the show going to be eventually figure, you know, you’re basically data gathering, the types of things that maybe you could get to, and then at some point I think you’re gonna have to stage a record breaking event.

[00:38:41] Kristen Schaal: This is really smart stuff. Jason. This is we.

[00:38:46] Jason Mantzoukas: We see 16. This is 16 years in the podcast biz, baby.

[00:38:49] Tony Hale: Listen, are you a producer? .

[00:38:50] Kristen Schaal: We’re so green.

[00:38:53] Tony Hale: We are green. Uh, we talked, we have talked. I feel like initially they talked about it with, with, with Head Gum and, um, we were, we were all like, uh. Maybe, maybe one day.

[00:39:05] Paul Scheer: I mean, look, if you can start having people break records, if you can get people to break records on your show, I mean, this is amazing. Maybe the longest podcast episode you’ll ever do, maybe you do that. You, uh, podcast for, uh, who knows how long the longest podcast is.

[00:39:16] Jason Mantzoukas: I mean, record breaking podcast breaks a record.

[00:39:20] Paul Scheer: Wow.

[00:39:21] Jason Mantzoukas: I mean like that’s a fucking headline right there.

[00:39:23] Tony Hale: That’s a log line.

[00:39:24] Kristen Schaal: That’s really good.

[00:39:25] Paul Scheer: Your Head Gum podcast, the Extraordinarians every week. I would imagine that’s how you release it, right? Every week.

[00:39:31] Kristen Schaal: Yeah. Think we have two episodes out now, which is funny that we’re, you’re right. Like we should be really thinking bigger picture.

[00:39:38] Jason Mantzoukas: Eventually. Eventually you just two episodes in that’s.

[00:39:41] Tony Hale: We’re babies, yeah.

[00:39:41] Kristen Schaal: How many, How Did This Get Made shows have you guys done?

[00:39:45] Paul Scheer: We were just kind of figuring that out. We’re, we’re up in the three hundreds.

[00:39:49] Tony Hale: Gosh.

[00:39:50] Paul Scheer: 15 years.

[00:39:51] Kristen Schaal: That’s 15 years and only 300 to show for it.

[00:39:55] Paul Scheer: But now you also are doing a video podcast.

[00:39:57] You can watch it on YouTube as well.

[00:39:59] Tony Hale: Yes.

[00:39:59] Paul Scheer: Uh, so 369 movies is what we’ve done here on this show. So, uh, but you, but what I love about this is you can watch your episodes, uh. You can listen or you can watch.

[00:40:08] Tony Hale: Yeah.

[00:40:09] Kristen Schaal: Yeah. You can look at our faces.

[00:40:11] Jason Mantzoukas: Just, just as podcasts are meant to be. Yeah. Videos.

[00:40:15] Kristen Schaal: I did not realize this was all encompassing.

[00:40:19] Tony Hale: We also do something where like people can call in and say like, I’m gonna nominate my friend for like the best this or the worst this. And so like the, my 1 1, 1 girl nominated her brother for like the be, he makes the best eggs. And so. And then we called him up and said, your sister just nominated. And supposedly he, he’s been around the world and find eggs and all.

[00:40:37] But then somebody else got like the worst joke tellers. So then we called him up and be like, Hey, just to let you know, your friend said you’re like the worst joke teller.

[00:40:43] Paul Scheer: Oh wow.

[00:40:43] Tony Hale: And then we like let them do all that kinda stuff. So it gives people an opportunity just to nominate their friends.

[00:40:47] Paul Scheer: I love this. Well, I cannot wait for more episodes. Subscribe on YouTube. Uh, listen, subscribe, do all the things you do with podcasts, uh, in your podcast apps. You two are the best. I’m excited that, like, I love this trio, by the way, of you two. And then really nice guy Matt over.

[00:41:04] Jason Mantzoukas: That great. That great guy.

[00:41:05] Tony Hale: Great guy.

[00:41:05] Paul Scheer: Who’s currently with, uh, uh, with, uh, our great gal. June, uh, June Diane in, uh, Vancouver shooting the, uh, Legally Blonde Series.

[00:41:15] Jason Mantzoukas: Oh, yeah.

[00:41:15] Tony Hale: Oh, nice. Hey, Paul, how long, how long is June up there?

[00:41:18] Paul Scheer: Uh, she’s up there until July. So it’s been an interesting time for our family and, uh.

[00:41:23] Kristen Schaal: Doesn’t get to come home?

[00:41:24] Paul Scheer: She does, she does get to come home. She comes home, uh, when she can, and, uh.

[00:41:30] And then I, I have the kids just pretend they don’t recognize her, which doesn’t go over well. And then, uh, no, it, uh, we’ve know we’ve been making a good, uh, she’s been coming home a bunch.

[00:41:40] Kristen Schaal: Uh, yeah, if you get a chance to visit her in Vancouver, though, um, with the family, there’s so many great, uh, spots you guys can go to. Like a salmon fishery thing.

[00:41:52] Paul Scheer: Ooh. I made the worst mistake when we first had our first child. Uh, I got a job and I was away and it was just for like a week or so. It wasn’t a big job, but I was away and June was, uh, a new parent, uh, with a baby and I went, I was in Vancouver and I went zip lining and I was like, look at me, I’m on the zip line to June, and, and, uh, I realize that was a mistake I should never expl. Whenever you are away doing something fun and your partner is at home with children, you never send them anything fun that you have done, you don’t tell’em about it.

[00:42:24] Jason Mantzoukas: Oh, the ziplining is particularly carefree.

[00:42:29] Paul Scheer: It was so carefree. I was like, I have nothing to do with my day. I’m going to Zipline, June was not happy with a picture of me on a Zipline as she’s at home with a three month old. So, uh, so yeah, I, uh, yeah, I, I’ve learned the hard way. So now if we go together, it’ll be a lot of fun.

[00:42:45] Jason Mantzoukas: I wonder what the, I wonder what the record is for longest zip line.

[00:42:49] Kristen Schaal: Yeah, I wonder that too.

[00:42:51] Paul Scheer: I did the one in Hawaii where you go over the Jurassic Park fields and it’s really fun.

[00:42:54] Jason Mantzoukas: Oh, that’s cool.

[00:42:55] Kristen Schaal: When I’m away at work, Paul, I just call Rich and I just bitch and bitch and bitch. How, awful it is.

[00:43:02] Paul Scheer: I’m always like, I’m like, June’s like, what are you up to? I’m like, nothing. I mean, I, there’s nothing to do. I’m just in my room. I’m, I’m literally, I’m not eating dinner. I’m not talking to anyone. I’m never gonna see a movie.

[00:43:11] Kristen Schaal: I’m crying so much.

[00:43:14] Paul Scheer: Now, June, June insists on tracking me. Uh, June is obsessed with keeping, uh, the tracker on phone so she knows like, what’s going on. Like the.

[00:43:23] Jason Mantzoukas: Oh my God.

[00:43:24] Paul Scheer: The other day I was coming home. I had to give notes on something, so I just pulled off to the side of the road to give notes. ’cause I knew that if I came home and I just got on my phone, it wouldn’t be good. So I was like, I’m just pull over here, I’ll do my notes and then I’ll go home and then I can be fully present. And uh, she was like, what are you doing parked on the street out there? I’m like, God damnit. So now I don’t even feel like I have that.

[00:43:48] Jason Mantzoukas: Just like watching you. Like it’s a show on Netflix.

[00:43:51] Paul Scheer: She knows where I am at all times. Like you don’t even need to keep tracks, dibs on me, but she does it to all of her friends. She’s, she has multiple friends that she’s tracking at any given moment. By the way, if you are wondering, the longest zip line is about 9,000 feet.

[00:44:06] Tony Hale: Gosh.

[00:44:06] Kristen Schaal: And it’s in United Arab of Emirates.

[00:44:08] Jason Mantzoukas: Great. Let’s go. Let’s go.

[00:44:10] Kristen Schaal: Can women go on that zip line or only men?

[00:44:15] Jason Mantzoukas: Because it’s in uae?

[00:44:17] Kristen Schaal: Yeah.

[00:44:17] Jason Mantzoukas: Yeah. Good question.

[00:44:19] Paul Scheer: We gotta figure that out.

[00:44:20] Tony Hale: Yeah.

[00:44:20] Paul Scheer: Maybe we can break the Guinness World record of the first woman to do that zip line.

[00:44:24] Jason Mantzoukas: Yeah. That’d be great.

[00:44:26] Kristen Schaal: As the first flying vagina to go 9,290 feet.

[00:44:35] Paul Scheer: Oh my goodness. Oh, you two are the best. Thank you for being here and chatting with us.

[00:44:40] Tony Hale: Congratulations on your longevity with your podcast. You’re an inspiration to us.

[00:44:45] Jason Mantzoukas: Uh, may you have the, may you have the same 15 years that we’ve had.

[00:44:51] Tony Hale: I’ll be dead.

[00:44:54] Kristen Schaal: And you’re so brave not eating eggs.

[00:44:56] Jason Mantzoukas: Oh, thank you. Thank you for, thank you for acknowledging my bravery.

[00:44:59] Kristen Schaal: I found someone else who’s allergic to eggs.

[00:45:02] Jason Mantzoukas: Who?

[00:45:03] Kristen Schaal: Uh, Rhys Darby’s wife, Rose. Rose.

[00:45:05] Jason Mantzoukas: Okay.

[00:45:06] Kristen Schaal: Yeah, it was, we, I went over to her house and she’s like, any non-egg based dish, please. And I was like, oh my God.

[00:45:12] Jason Mantzoukas: Oh, nice. I love it. Yeah, I love, I love meeting one in the wild.

[00:45:16] Paul Scheer: My, my sons were watching Jason on Taskmaster, and they turned to me in shock and horror when they said. What if they make ’em eat eggs? I’m sure that he has told them that they cannot have any eggs, but they felt, they felt like this is what they’re gonna do. They’re gonna make Jason eat.

[00:45:34] Jason Mantzoukas: That’s how they’re gonna get him.

[00:45:35] Paul Scheer: Yeah, they’re gonna make them eat eggs. It’s like there’s, especially after the, the first, there’s like a raisin challenge and they’re like. What if it was eggs? I was like, it’s not gonna be eggs.

[00:45:44] Tony Hale: Jason, what was that? What was that movie you were doing in Vancouver when I saw you at the Sutton? At a elevator.

[00:45:49] Jason Mantzoukas: That I was in the hospital.

[00:45:50] Tony Hale: Yes.

[00:45:51] Jason Mantzoukas: Uh, it was a pilot that never got picked up.

[00:45:53] Tony Hale: Oh, okay.

[00:45:53] Jason Mantzoukas: Uh, to series. So it was a pilot that I did for FX years ago.

[00:45:57] Tony Hale: Yeah.

[00:45:57] Jason Mantzoukas: And I was hospitalized twice.

[00:45:59] Tony Hale: Yes.

[00:45:59] Paul Scheer: Oh, I remember this.

[00:46:00] Jason Mantzoukas: It was brutal.

[00:46:01] Tony Hale: Awful.

[00:46:01] Jason Mantzoukas: Brutal.

[00:46:02] Kristen Schaal: For what? For what?

[00:46:03] Tony Hale: Eggs.

[00:46:04] Jason Mantzoukas: I had some, it wasn’t eggs. I thought it was eggs at first, and it turned out to not be, it was something in my st I was like having, I could not hold even water down. Oh, and I, I, I truly was only hospitalized because they, I needed to be on an IV and they just were just making sure something more catastrophic wasn’t wrong, so it’s not as dramatic as it sounds, but nonetheless, I was in a Canadian hospital twice, which was not great.

[00:46:28] Paul Scheer: You weren’t allergic to the zip lines though, right?

[00:46:30] Jason Mantzoukas: Uh, you know what, I’m allergic to Canada.

[00:46:33] Tony Hale: Oh, there we go.

[00:46:34] Paul Scheer: Uh, June had a haunted hotel room. But, uh, but we, uh, we’ve gotten that figured out now, that was, I don’t know if you guys had any issues with that when you were in Canada,

[00:46:42] Kristen Schaal: What was happening in your room?

[00:46:43] Jason Mantzoukas: Schaal just lit up.

[00:46:44] Paul Scheer: June’s room was haunted and she was getting, uh, lights flickering in the middle of the night.

[00:46:49] Tony Hale: Bye-bye. Bye-bye.

[00:46:50] Paul Scheer: Uh, doors opening, uh, a lot of crazy stuff, but she would turn off lights, walk into the other room, and then the lights would turn back on. Uh, doors were closed and then they would be open. Uh, so there was a lot of spooky stuff. And she did talk to somebody and they, they said that there were some, some blobs, some dark blobs.

[00:47:11] Jason Mantzoukas: Two blobs.

[00:47:12] Paul Scheer: Two blobs.

[00:47:12] Jason Mantzoukas: Two blobs, and a gateway to hell.

[00:47:14] Paul Scheer: Yes.

[00:47:15] Jason Mantzoukas: Two blobs and a gateway to hell in, were in her room.

[00:47:18] Paul Scheer: Which Jason, I’m gonna, I’m gonna break that down for you ’cause I’ve saved that document for you so we can really, uh, see it when we go on tour.

[00:47:24] Tony Hale: Wait, two blob. What is the gateway? What do you mean the gateway of hell?

[00:47:27] Paul Scheer: It’s like a portal.

[00:47:28] Jason Mantzoukas: Yeah. Tony, what do you mean?

[00:47:29] Tony Hale: No, no, no. I, I mean did, did did she see a sign that said that, or no?

[00:47:33] Paul Scheer: No. This is the, the person that that was brought in to help, uh, cleanse the room, saw portal.

[00:47:39] Tony Hale: Oh.

[00:47:39] Jason Mantzoukas: She was, I’m sorry, June’s room was diagnosed as having two blobs and a gateway to hell.

[00:47:45] Paul Scheer: Yes.

[00:47:45] Kristen Schaal: Did she change rooms or hotel?

[00:47:47] Paul Scheer: No. Did not change rooms.

[00:47:49] Kristen Schaal: What?

[00:47:50] Paul Scheer: Well, can I tell you what they, what they told June was that, um, what they thought was that the studio is so haunted, uh, and that she was bringing people back from the studio.

[00:48:01] Jason Mantzoukas: She was bringing ghosts back from the studio.

[00:48:04] Paul Scheer: Yeah.

[00:48:04] Tony Hale: Okay. Let’s go back to job security. Do you kinda wonder if this guy’s saying this, you know, just to like, validate his paycheck?

[00:48:11] Paul Scheer: I, I, you know, I, I, I had a lot of issues with some of the things that were discussed, uh, there. Yeah. And then as the ghosts were shedding, I was like, well, don’t shed them here at our home. Yeah. I don’t, yeah. I don’t need these ghost shed in here.

[00:48:23] Tony Hale: Don’t bring ’em on the plane.

[00:48:24] Paul Scheer: Yeah. I don’t need.

[00:48:24] Jason Mantzoukas: Guess what, I don’t want a bunch of fucking Canadian ghosts in my house.

[00:48:28] Paul Scheer: They’re so polite.

[00:48:29] Jason Mantzoukas: Get the fuck outta here.

[00:48:30] Paul Scheer: They actually closed doors because you left them open.

[00:48:34] Jason Mantzoukas: And, and, and now, now because of the tariffs, we’re getting like 35% more ghosts.

[00:48:39] Kristen Schaal: I know.

[00:48:41] Paul Scheer: But they’re doing a hundred percent more haunting. I don’t understand why. Oh my gosh. Well, uh, well.

[00:48:48] Tony Hale: Thanks guys.

[00:48:49] Paul Scheer: Uh, you know, uh, are the best. Uh, anything else you wanna plug besides your, your podcast?

[00:49:05] Paul Scheer: Whoa.

[00:49:05] Jason Mantzoukas: Not long enough.

[00:49:06] Tony Hale: Not long enough. It’s when it took us 15 years to make. Um, but it’s really, I think it’s really good.

[00:49:13] Paul Scheer: And what is it about?

[00:49:13] Tony Hale: It’s, it’s, it’s about a little girl who’s, uh, is dealing with grief and she draws these really horrible pictures and they come to life.

[00:49:20] Paul Scheer: Whoa.

[00:50:49] Kristen Schaal: I’m sorry.

[00:50:50] Paul Scheer: I should have been. It was such a fun experience. They cut the whole scene. I think they thought it was too rough. I was a cop yelling at kids. And so they were like, ah, I don’t know if we need that moment. Uh, and it was released as a part of the special features, me yelling at children.

[00:51:05] Jason Mantzoukas: Oh, that’s cool.

[00:51:05] Paul Scheer: It was fun. It was fun to see and do, and it was great to work with Brad.
