Hey, it's Ryan Reynolds here from Mint Mobile. Now I was looking for fun ways to tell you that Mint's offer of unlimited premium wireless for $15 a month is back.

1:19

So I thought it would be fun if we made $15 bills, but it turns out that's very illegal. So there goes my big idea for the commercial.

1:30

I'm going to try at MintMobile.com slash switch up from payment of $45 for three months, $90 for six months or $180 for 12 month plan required $15 per month equivalent to taxes and fees extra.

I've been loving these episodes have been coming out alright that is all that I got so let's get into what you got of course we just examined the film fall.

4:56

And we had a lot of questions and we might have even missed a few things which is why I now turn the mic over to you all because now it is time for corrections and omissions.

5:10

Corrections and omissions.

5:18

Thank you Chris.

5:20

Thank you for that theme song let's go to the discord Dell Preston writes.

5:24

Do you think that the D in danger D is for Dan?

5:29

Her name is Shiloh Hunter no D's and she admits later she became danger D the adventure vlogger because of Dan's death.

5:41

But she was also in love with him.

5:44

I'm calling it the D is an homage to Dan.

5:49

Dell my mind has been blown oh my what what I don't even know how to take this in that is truly wow wow wow Dell you got me you got me right out of the gate that makes no sense at all and I would have loved for that to be a reveal anyway.

6:18

I must just pull myself together and get into some more corrections and omissions this one from newb newb so I worked in broadcast TV news for a number of years and this movie basically wouldn't happen the tower itself in the movie would never get that rusted because it's made out of reinforced steel and concrete and once a tower is decommissioned they cut it down the three wires holding it to let it crash down safely and a controlled demolition.

6:47

Why to prevent everything that happens in this movie they don't want people climbing on these old towers but this is the level of detail about journalism and television I would expect from a Buzzfeed movie newb newb I love it yeah I don't know how many non working towers are out there and again you're bringing home some details some simple simple details that I mean I guess would just.

7:16

Unpack the entire film I mean if there's no tower there's no movie but get ready because someone in our phone calls is going to show you how it's really just a rip off of another movie that we all love horn a check rights.

7:31

After they got the backpack the reason hunter refused to drink any water is because hunter was already dead so there was no need for her to drink anything another sign that hunter was already dead was when Becky is climbing for the light bulb and trying to get it.

7:46

Drops the backpack hunter doesn't even try to catch it when it falls right pastor because she can't catch it.

7:53

I want to check now I feel like a fucking dummy that was my six sense moment right those are the oh my god she was dead the entire time and they should have replayed them for people like me I get it I like it.

8:07

All right one thing that this movie did great is this horn a check point for supporting the movie and now I believe that you might be a part of the movie.

8:19

All right let's go to the phones this one is the one I was talking about our friend Mark makes a very interesting observation about this film and another one.

8:29

Hey Paul two things first I was wondering if anyone else felt that the premise for fall was a complete rip off of the descent a movie about a group of thrill seeking female friends one of whom's husband dies in a car accident after a whitewater rafting trip then a year later one of the friends organizes a cave diving trip to try to cheer her up at which point they end up getting stranded and stuck in the caves.

8:51

Much like fall spoiler alert we find out that one of the main characters friends was having an affair with the husband which is identified through a piece of jewelry that had led engraved on it which signified the husband's favorite phrase love every day so basically fell like someone saw that a stunt said hey let's make the same movie but instead of underground they should be stuck in the air.

9:09

My second thing I can't believe how incomprehensibly stupid it is for hunter to get a tattoo on her ankle of one for three which is just a dead giveaway to Becky that she was having a fair with her husband she would have to hide that tattoo constantly to make sure Becky never saw it to the point that it makes absolutely no sense that you would ever get it to begin with.

9:28

Thanks.

9:30

Yes yes yes wow first of all if you've not seen the descent it is great.

9:37

And scary and I love it I love the descent but you're right this is exactly the descent and now I'm also realizing that that one for three tattoo was very what is going on why why do we even need that clue when she's going to reveal it anyway unless our main character put it together oh boy this movie is getting more rickety than an old TV tower.

10:06

Thank you Mark great points all around and just a reminder watch the descent if you people have not checked out the descent you might be like well do I need to watch it because I just saw fall yeah it's good.

10:20

All right John steel coming up next what do you got.

10:24

Hi Paul just a quick question about the end of the movie when the dad tells her like let's go home shouldn't she be arrested she climbed something on private property that had a very blatant no trespassing sign which we saw a thousand times throughout the movie.

10:44

So I just thought maybe you know the police would want to talk to her thanks.

10:49

Oh all right John you know what at a certain point I feel like when they rescue someone after they might have just you know had a traumatic moment they're going to let you go home right I think it's a die hard at the end of die are they kind of let John McLean just walk on out of there so I agree with you yes.

11:08

She would have gotten a very firm talking to about trespassing but but the fact that her bone was sticking out of her leg and her friend was dead I feel like they're like you know what we can maybe hold.

11:18

We can maybe hold back on the J walk and ticket but I appreciate your vulture like honing in on the details and now our friend Steve from Oklahoma City has a point that I thought we made on the show but I guess we didn't this is Steve from Oklahoma City and you guys are talking about how I want to the dialogue sound like you there a much older person or AI written it and I just feel to add to that fire and we're seeing you guys didn't talk about.

11:43

So there's a moment we're back he talks about watching WWE with her dad and talks about stone cold Steve Austin the rock and mankind is her favorites and the wrestling nerd means gonna come out because of this movie set in 2022 all these guys have been retired or making extremely rare appearances for almost 20 years by this point awesome retired in 2003 the rock left for Hollywood like 2004 and mankind left another organization 2006 so all these references are extremely dated.

12:08

And hunter said something to the fact of I can't believe you still watch that which implies she's a fan right now not one back he was a child growing up which at least would have been a little more accurate.

12:17

To put in perspective it would be the equivalent of if she said how much she loves watching the NBA and then start talking about how her favorite players for Shack and Kobe the whole scene just felt like something chat GPT sped out been a fan for 12 plus years now thank you guys for bringing us so much joy for so many years.

12:31

Okay now Steve I'm not gonna go back and watch this movie I I agree with you but I also disagree in saying that I believe she was saying I watch these wrestlers with my dad when I was growing up now granted she's like 19 so to your point they would have been retired so yeah you're right and I guess she still watches it but I she should have been talking about like AEW right should have been like oh see I'm punk he's the new mankind.

13:00

Oh man the the bullet brothers that you know Cody Rhodes you know that's what I would have liked a little AEW mentioned in there Aaron from Vermont what do you got.

13:13

Hi Paul calling to talk about the extreme anti-volcher and actually anti-bird messaging in the movie fall.

13:20

Why do the people who made this movie hate birds so much I think it's unspoken but Becky blames the bird that flies out of that hole in the beginning for Dan's death so at the outset this appears to be a tale of revenge.

13:32

Vultures are villainized throughout the movie when in fact they would never attack a living human being.

13:38

Vultures are actually pretty timid and will vomit or defecate on an attacker to escape.

13:43

The vultures in the movie also appear to be white headed African vultures which as you can probably guess by the name do not live in North America.

13:52

This decide vultures are extremely beneficial and that they clean up putrid rotting stuff that no one else wants to deal with they are the garbage men of their ecosystems and I mean that in a way that should be flattering for both vultures and for garbage men.

14:06

Their bodies are uniquely adapted to neutralize all sorts of pathogens and their stomach acid is extremely corrosive so you were correct to point out that eating raw vulture would make you very very ill.

14:17

It's actually probably the riskiest thing that anyone does in this whole movie.

14:21

Anyway I thought it was my duty speak out against this anti-bird propaganda love the show.

14:27

Hashtag justice for vultures yes justice for vultures Aaron I knew that fact and I wasn't going to bring it into this because there's so much to unpack and I mean why don't you just have a fucking hawk just go after him a vulture I get it it eats the dead but I also just kind of feel like.

14:47

A hawk would be scarier in a way a vulture just seems like it's waiting for you to die hawk would be a fucking attacking you i also feel like it's easier to beat up a vulture and when she ate that stomach according to you that acid would have maybe like burnt her or destroyed her stomach so what about that.

15:06

So yes justice for vultures and she should add a burn belly next one what do we got Natalie from Australia.

15:14

That Paul this is Natalie calling from Australia about the most recent episode full well actually i'm calling with a comment about hotel checkout times because you guys all had a very passionate discussion about appropriate check in checkout times and I just want to share I guess a fun little fact which is all the way down here in Australia.

15:38

Your standard checkout time wherever you are hotel motel holiday in is 10 a.m. always 10 a.m. and your check in is 3 o'clock at the earliest sometimes it's going to be 4 o'clock big town small town wherever you are and so genuinely I think when Australians go overseas on holidays one of the real.

16:03

Fledges and joys is hotels allowing you to stay past 10 a.m. because it feels like you're really doing something sort of cheeky and naughty so as much as we would very much love one day to have you guys in Australia I feel I've probably pushed you and especially June even further away from this but just a fun little fact from the land down under.

16:32

Thanks very much guys by all Natalie this has been an interesting point of contention here many people have written in big amen let me tell you what's really like and what I found out was yes many of our checkout times and check in times were changed post covid but the way that you just describe Australia walk that noise 10 a.m. 10 a.m. I'm just going to buy extra days I'm going to buy extra days so I can leave.

17:02

Like a civilized human fucking being alright everybody it is now time for quick break when we come back we'll have more corrections and emissions come in your way including some inside info from a crew member who worked on the movie so stick around.

welcome back before we hear more your thoughts on fall I must remind you all to tune into our classic episode re-release every Tuesday this week's classic episode was the movie

20:58

gooby with guest Nathan field or next week will be revisiting an oldie but a goodie on the vanilla ice cinematic masterpiece cool as ice we should pair it up with the interview with vanilla pretty crazy interview because I don't think he knew why he was there oh look at this scots tell me we are going to include that little section there yeah vanilla ice did not know what the premise of the show was you just showed up and it was a nice guy but remembered nothing about the movie but it's still a fun interview because it's not a fun interview but it's not a fun interview but it's not a fun interview but it's not a fun interview but it's not a fun interview but it's not a fun interview but it's not a fun interview but it's not a fun interview but it's not a fun interview but it's not a fun interview but it's not a fun interview but it's not a fun interview but it's not a fun interview but it's not a fun interview but it's not a fun interview but it's not a fun interview but it's

21:28

not a fun interview but it's not a fun interview but it's not a fun interview but it's not a fun interview but it's not a fun interview but it's not a fun interview but it's not a fun interview but it's not a fun interview but it's not a fun interview but it's not a fun interview but it's not a fun interview but it's not a fun interview but it's not a fun interview but it's not a fun interview but it's not a fun interview but it's not a fun interview but it's not a fun interview but it's not a fun interview but it's not a fun interview but it's not a fun interview but it's not a fun interview but it's not a fun interview but it's not a fun interview but it's not a fun interview but it's not a fun interview but it's not a fun interview but it's not a fun interview but it's not a fun interview but it's not a fun interview but it's not a fun interview but it's not a fun interview but it's not a fun interview

21:58

It helps us. It really does. Anyway, back to the discord, Sean McBeerite's think how much more quickly Becky

22:05

Could have gotten a text out if she had just

22:08

Strapped her phone to the drone and let it drift gently down to ground level instead of trying to fly it all the way to the motel with a dumb note

22:18

Oh boy Sean. Yeah. Yeah. I mean all that drama and I still don't believe it would have gotten that far

22:27

I knew it went out of range, but I still think that was a real a real long shot. All right next up

22:33

Dove rights director Scott man felt the need to add himself to the return address label on the box of Dan's ashes

22:40

Where you can see the funeral home is on Scott Avenue in man Arizona

22:45

Sadly, you can't see Becky's address since her last name and address are covered by the red cremated remain sticker on the box

22:52

No idea how it would have made it to her

22:55

Yeah, you know, I don't blame this on Scott man

22:58

I say this is the production department trying to have some fun and you know impress the the good old director

23:05

And I think the director would have been like oh, that's good. That's fun. I like that

23:08

But yeah, but the they should have been more concerned about making the package

23:14

Actually be something that could have been delivered that image is even funnier when you see it covering it up

23:21

It just says Beck

23:23

Not not even the last name fun facts 47 rights when it's revealed that Shiloh has been dead

23:28

We see a vulture feasting on a corpse later Becky kills the same vulture and eats it for sustenance

23:34

Does this make Becky a cannibal since she's getting nutrients from her friends remains?

23:40

Oh boy, you know what you you you you you you I got a sick Aaron from Vermont on you

23:49

Okay, fun facts 47 come on. Let's not shit on the vultures

23:55

Sneaky zebra rights new here, but long time listener

23:58

I worked on the fall and the upcoming fall to wait what whoa whoa and as the director knows

24:04

I did find one plot hole that didn't get brought up by anyone

24:08

So Hunter's phone is at the bottom of the tower in pieces after the unsuccessful shoe drop

24:15

Then they use Becky's phone to fly the drone

24:19

But why would Becky have the drone app on her phone when the drone belongs to Hunter?

24:27

You know here's what I'm gonna say why is the D in her name is that the one?

24:32

That's the one that I really feel like we need the answer on sneaky zebra. Yeah, I'll buy that

24:38

But I mean yes, that's a nitpicky note, but there's so many other

24:42

Grand details that were left on the table anyway

24:47

Sneaky zebra continues to write. I'm glad you enjoyed it

24:50

Fall was a pandemic made movie with a low budget

24:52

And I think the team did an incredible job filming it and the post production was crazy

24:56

I'm reminded of this every day at work since the tower platform stunt vulture and backpack still sit in our office

25:04

Just to let you know I sent the episode to Scott man. No, no sneaky zebra. We're not supposed to do that

25:09

The writer and director of fall and the writer producer of fall to and he said this was very funny. Loved it

25:15

Scott is really awesome. So I'd love to see him get even more success

25:20

Cheers Gary the guy who sent the Jason X posters to you many many years ago

25:27

Well, I appreciate the posters, but sneaky zebra

25:30

Don't do that. Don't don't send anything to the writers and directors of this stuff

25:35

We don't want to do that. We like Scott man. It's got man did a great job

25:38

You know, I think that honestly like we said it is a fun movie and with all these inside

25:46

Pieces of info you gave us nothing about fall to that I want to know more about

25:52

Anyway, wow, you know writing about that sneaky zebra don't go in here and bust our our game

25:58

I send it to one of the people out there that's I don't know I don't like it

26:02

I don't like it when people go I told them what you said not to say that's an impression of sneaky zebra

26:07

But yeah, leave it

26:09

Marry you know what there's only one winner here today and and I apologize because it came up so early

27:47

But you can also try to win a brand new prize next episode by leaving us a voice mail at speakpipe.com

27:53

slash hdtgm or by writing us on our discord all right coming up after one last break Jason

28:00

I will just chat with Elliott Glazer, but first here's a bonus deleted scene of our fall episode

28:06

We're June Jason and I try to figure out more ways that Becky and Hunter could have gotten down from the tower

28:13

Take a listen when hunter goes down to the satellite dish to retrieve the backpack

28:19

Why doesn't she bring Becky's phone?

28:21

That's what I mean saying hoping okay, so that is what you're okay or bring Becky down

28:26

Which still seems a lot safer than sending hunter back up like I think that they can't

28:31

Like the the satellite dish is not a safe place to be I think they want to be on the platform

28:39

But I agree with you moving down has got to be the priority what

28:44

What I could

28:47

I really was like they don't try and fashion any kind of

28:51

tension thing like they could I was like wrap the rope around the post right so that it is tense because they've got

28:59

climbing harnesses they've got like they've got some gear so that you can the way that

29:05

guys

29:07

Do the

29:09

Telephone pole yeah, right. Yeah, that kind of what you're talking about earlier June where they look

29:14

Into it, but you can create tension around the around the world with a they've got 50 feet of rope

29:21

We saw that in the lumberjack show June. I saw the guys do that one of them could have using some sort of

29:28

tension and release tension and release gotten themselves

29:33

At least somewhere down the well to get a signal

29:37

Well, they just keep on saying if they keep on saying like where is high or higher than the Eiffel Tower

29:43

And I think that's meant to tell you that there's no signal, but I but I correct me if I'm wrong

29:47

That's where signal would be right because it satellites in the sky like it seems like

29:52

By going higher you're going higher. Why don't I mean you don't get signals on planes without Wi-Fi up

29:58

Yeah, no, but is it satellite? I think they're trying to tell us that they are above

30:04

Saddle or set above cell towers, you know

30:07

Yeah, I mean I agree this this is a problem that all modern movies have is how do we kill the cell phones right?

30:16

Yeah, I mean and look and again, I will I will buy oh by the according to online which I'm not gonna go deeper in

30:23

It says about 2,000 feet above the ground. You will not be able to get cell phone service

30:27

So that's where they are there are finding 600 feet above so but okay, so

32:46

Paul and I were just in New York. We could have all hung out together. Oh, I'm in LA wait what

32:52

Yeah, stop this recording. We're all meeting in person. I

32:57

Think everyone just assumes I'm in New York from my work and yeah, I think I think I thought you were still a New York person

33:04

We have you always been in LA person and I just didn't know or is this you know?

33:08

I've just I've been here for well. I've been here for like 10 years now. Oh, yeah, what the fuck am I doing?

33:13

But I don't want to say it's good to have people assume that you're in New York like that's not a bad assumption

33:19

Yeah, right like you know it kind of makes you cooler. I mean I still have a 911 7 phone number and I feel like

33:27

Establishes me and seven boys. I love that. Oh my god

33:31

I thought that as soon as I could when I cuz you're from Long Island

33:34

I mean I I wanted to get rid of my five one six. I hate that

33:38

Possibly could yeah, I hate that five one six can't can't

33:40

Discuss what part of Long Islander you from I'm from Smithtown where didn't you work at the blockbuster there?

33:47

I worked at the blockbuster in Ceyos it

33:50

Okay, town was was a place that I hung out and I had a lot of acclaim at the Smith Haven mall was in Smith town

33:56

Yes, of course, you know a lot like there's a lot of time I spent in Smithtown

34:00

You know you're we're Suffolk boys. I mean Suffolk boys is a is a whole different thing and that was a gang you guys belong to

34:07

Yeah, the Suffolk boys come on the Suffolk boys

34:11

Also just were my is where my grandma lived and so we would go to the picket lane

34:15

Like pool and tennis club, which was basically just like a country club for Jews

34:22

We were not invited anywhere else. I mean look at least you got to a country club my oh my family

34:27

We did nothing like that. There was no there was no even knowledge that there were camps going on in the summer for kids

34:34

Like oh really that just stopped early on and I was like you're at home all the time and I was like okay

34:39

And I actually loved it. I mean I I didn't like my camp experience

34:43

Early on but then it was like home with no options none right of course well for me

34:49

I mean I you know so many Jews go to sleep away camp

34:52

But I was so neurotic and remain I would say remain so but I was so neurotic that I was just like I'm not leaving

34:58

Leaving home are you like that wasn't even on the table sleep away?

35:03

I'm gonna sleep somewhere else like

35:05

I was the exact opposite I was the exact opposite. I was my parents made me stay home and wouldn't allow me to go to camp

35:12

That's the only thing I dreamt of was getting to go to having the independence of going to sleep away camp

35:19

Oh, I was such a I mean honestly. I was such a nervous wreck as a kid that there was one summer actually Paul

35:25

Do you know what you stand is no

35:27

You stand is this like arts camp like a summer camp on Long Island and like why in dance or something?

35:34

Okay, sure super duper artsy. It's all art. It's like creative arts for kids and I went there one summer

35:41

I think I was like eight years old and that summer I watched something on TV that was like a shitty

35:49

Tabloid show where they did a whole thing about these aliens that came down to earth and like

35:56

Essentially crashed a bunch of friends like a can in a camping a weekend a camping in the woods and like from what I remember

36:03

The big green aliens like molested these nude people from behind and it destroyed my brain

36:09

And so that whole summer I was in crippling fear of being abducted or at least like molested my aliens so

36:17

You stand was a nightmare. I think the sad news for you is that our listeners are absolutely gonna figure out what that was that you watch

36:24

And I'm gonna start sending you stills from that image from that

36:28

We will we will my care you of this by exposure therapy

36:32

Yes, yes, next year you're going to camp I

36:35

Want to let Sal military school camp that was the one that I went to and

36:42

military school camp

36:44

Doesn't really feel like it works it very in Congress terms right because it's like and so it was very organized and very

36:50

You know a lot of authority but I remember that my parents did take me out when I said the the men that are watching us

36:58

Like stand in the bathroom while we pee now. I don't think it was sexual

37:02

But I do feel like it was like it was like they were making sure there was no Tom Fulery going on

37:07

But they were just to have like to be peeing in front of your counselors

37:11

It struck me as weird. I'm a big believer in this with my own kids

37:14

Where I'm like just tell us what's on your mind like we don't don't like and if it hits you as weird

37:20

We may not be able to label it. We'll get you out of there

37:22

Like and that was it why were you at military camp where you were bad kid? No, I just I mean look

37:27

I believe that my parents were ill equipped to make smarter decisions about like they didn't think like oh military school

37:34

That won't be fun like you know that like right like or like what is he into like I was

37:39

A force into camps where it was like you're gonna be doing sports all the time which is right for me

37:45

It was like no I didn't want to do that the arts camp I did I just needed something. I look at yes

37:52

I should have gone there and gotten abducted

37:55

No, but it's it's a funny thing because now I look at camps for my kids. It's like Star Wars camp and you know, you know, it's it's every it's everything magic camp

38:03

All this I think back along Island it felt like kickball baseball. That was it you like you just it was this it was this sports

38:09

What was the military was the military school camp anything like

38:14

Like was it just normal camp activities or were you doing like boot camp kind of stuff? Were you doing

38:20

Military stuff

38:22

I remember that it was just a lot of we had to march on lines or painted lines around the entire

38:28

Oh, yeah, and we had to like stay on the line. You're somewhere was spent marching marching on lines and doing like like marching call out

38:37

It's like I don't know what happened. Yeah essentially and I believe that there were like some sports in there

38:43

But the sports were not even like the sports that I hated these ones. I hated even more. I was like fencing

38:48

Like you know, it's like you know, it's like like things that were not fun as a kid

38:53

I know offense to people out there who love fencing, but you know, you don't want to be put in my good for you Paul for saying that

38:59

Because it just sounds like the whole camp was a punishment. Yes, and I'm sure it might have been like and that's the other thing

39:05

That's where my parents didn't probably go like a like a smidge deeper into it like what is it?

39:11

So they probably just heard oh yeah, let's sound military school camp that that will be fun

39:14

Is that like stony broker something?

39:16

I'm gonna you know, I'm gonna I'm gonna Google it as we are talking about it

39:20

By the way, let me just tell you your book which you know, which I say to everybody

39:25

pre-order that stuff now that makes a very big difference

39:29

In in book sales and everything like that it's coming out next week. You can maybe see Elliott out there

39:34

But I love your book. I am such a fan of this kind of writing like the

39:39

I

39:40

Look

39:41

We all love David Sederis. I feel like you are not David Sederis

39:44

But it's and if you like David Sederis you will like this book. I think you have your own style

39:48

That's a beautiful and funny and dirtier and awesome at just I'm just saying like

39:53

But this is like if you like books like this you're gonna love it. It's a great collection of essays

39:57

Well, thank you. I mean, I feel kind of like a dumber David Sederis

40:01

I mean my publishers were very kind initially when like when

40:06

When I signed on with them and they're like it is it's very David Sederis adjacent

40:10

And I would never I would never be compelled to compare myself to him

40:15

I like to think that you know, I think the goal for me in this being my first, you know book of

40:21

essays was essentially to sort of strike that balance between like

40:25

Normal like L.O.L. dumb conversational comedy and then also attempting to be a little bit more literate

40:32

Which is unique because as you guys I'm sure are aware. It's like comedy is different in different mediums

40:38

So right it on the paper, you know, like if I'm reading something that's really funny like a memoir

40:43

There are times when I actually laugh, but something can be hilarious on the paper with me just you know a small smirk

40:52

Which feels more literary than like yeah, you know hard comedy

40:55

So I'm trying to really try to balance the two

40:57

Yeah, one of the most fun things I learned in my and the process of writing my book too is I would

41:02

Sometimes just to get my like motor going in the beginning

41:06

I would say a story out loud and record it and then yes, and I found out very quickly

41:10

Oh, that doesn't work because it's it's two very different types of

41:16

Things like you are and it's about the turn of phrases about the way that these words are it gives you such an element of craft

41:23

And I feel like you have that in spades. It's great. By the way, you sound military camp in Oakdale

41:28

Oakdale long Island still active

41:31

It looks like it's closed down and here's what I will say. There's a lot of kids on reddit or a lot of people on reddit going

41:36

My mom threatened to send me there. Oh my god. Yeah, it was like

41:41

And then like yeah, and so there's a lot of a lot of bad memories here. Yeah

41:47

I've heard of Oakdale

41:48

You know, that's the beauty of Long Island. I only meet so many people from Long Island. They're like

41:52

Oh, yeah, I grew up here and I'm like okay, sure like I it was a train stop

41:57

But I don't I don't know I don't even I'm not familiar with it. It makes me feel like I didn't explore any of Long Island

42:02

I knew my five stops about it. Sure. I mean, I I certainly explored but you know, I think

42:08

Every you know youth is different for everybody where they grow up

42:11

I'm sure everybody has their own take on where they grew up

42:13

But I have always thought especially in comparison to like

42:17

Quote-unquote normal people like Long Island is one of the weirdest places

42:21

I could possibly imagine because it has so many different personalities in different places. Yes, but it's all

42:27

Sort of soaked in the stink of like toxic masculine

42:31

Toxic

42:32

masculinity and

42:33

ostentatiousness

42:35

It is just there is a moment where I'm like whoa. I mean, uh, there was a I don't know if you've ever got this to

42:41

And not to make this all about my dumpsters. I'll just tell one more and then

42:44

Uh, where I got put in a headlock at an Italian restaurant one time

42:48

Because I was told I get I go you think you're funny you think you're funny

42:51

And then all of a sudden the fucking owner of the Italian restaurant had me in a headlock

42:56

And I don't even know how I that happened, but that see that feels very Boston to me because I grew up

43:02

Exactly I grew up in suburban Boston which also feels

43:06

Long Island adjacent in its attitudes like yes, I would totally agree with that a lot of meathead crazy aggro

43:14

like like half of my

43:16

high school

43:17

Football team did steroids for no reason they were not they were not gifted

43:23

Athletically they just thought that if they did steroids they'd get into the NFL

43:27

You know, and it was ridiculous. So yeah, yeah, lots of crazy aggro energy

43:33

Yeah, I mean I could this that like I can still smell like the body spray and the bad you know the hair spray and the

43:40

Like it's just it was so weirdly ostentatious. It's a very tasteless, you know, I want to because this is one part of Long Island that I don't

43:47

Know that much about and it's one again

43:49

It's a closed window that I have in my experiences there

43:53

But there's a great chapter in your book about fire island and that's a whole other side of Long Island that I'm just very

43:59

Unmire island. Yeah particular. I didn't really take advantage of

44:03

Until I was an adult and when I say take advantage of mean I mean

44:07

I was dragged into a timeshare right in a gay party

44:11

Fantasia that I found really nerve-wracking and that's what the chapters all about

44:15

But even so to be a closeted kid knowing that or knowing now like well

44:20

I could have like taken a fairy to fight you with primes and fire island and like

44:26

Figured shit out like like there's so much that could have happened and that is crazy that

44:31

Even though I was like racked with fear as a you know, closeted kid in this super macho place

44:37

20 25 minutes away was a fairy ride to like gay Fantasia. That's wild. Well, it's so funny

44:44

And I feel dumb for saying this and but I guess I can feel okay about like I didn't grow up in the 50s

44:49

I didn't grow up in the 40s. I want to tell you that I didn't understand that they were like

44:53

Gay people in the world

44:55

because of my like they're my had an uncle

44:58

Or a cousin who was gay and it felt like and he is gay and we like him and that's and that's where we are

45:05

But like I remember when I moved into New York. I was like, oh wait hold on like I just it wasn't in the cards

45:11

And I think back on that so much because I'm like wow. I was sheltered in a way

45:17

Where I'm so close to the city. I'm so close to so many different things

45:20

But it was not in my purview at all

45:22

Exactly. Yes, and that's what so that's another part of living there that's wild is you're in the shadow of a metropolis

45:28

So you have access right to worldliness and and you have access to like like a you know the the a cosmopolitan wonderland

45:37

But there is such a small mindedness that happens even even not even just that like you're talking about like just kind of growing up

45:44

Not ignorant just like unaware

45:46

But then you have the idea of people who are like the city. I don't do the city. Oh, yeah, I don't go anywhere

45:52

And it's like wait why then why do you live heat like jesus expensive? It makes me a mess

45:57

That's similar to where I grew up in Boston. It felt very similarly like people. Why would you go to Boston?

46:03

Which you know and it's crazy seven miles away. It's just right there. We can see right there

46:07

You can do so many things there you can meet different people there like

46:11

You're talking about we got movies here. We got what do you think it's so it's so what also to your point about Boston

46:16

What's also interesting is that you're talking about how

46:20

It feels so you know rough and like you know scrappy but at the same time you're amid like academia

46:28

Oh my god how those two things can coen's coexist is wild

46:32

In a city that is like full of the most students in a country

46:37

It is also full of meatheads who are like you think you're smarter than me. Hey

46:41

You're fucking smarter than me

46:44

I can't believe those two things coexist but they do oh yeah, and it's just them

46:48

It just means that there are fights every night at every subway shot correct

46:53

There is a piece of footage that I absolutely loved um from

46:57

The Nick's win. So they won in San Antonio and there's a video called like uh

47:03

Like it one versus 500. It's like one San Antonio fan just taking on every next fan in a fight

47:10

And there was something about that watch watching that piece of footage which surprisingly the San Antonio guy did pretty well um

47:18

But the other piece of footage that got me was another San Antonio fan standing out on his

47:23

balcony in Brooklyn right like out there and kind of like yelling at the crowd down below

47:29

celebrating the Nick's victory and then these motherfucking Nick fans

47:34

Scaled the building to get up on the fires gave him the sky

47:38

Whoa and seeing them scale a building like spider man to get into this fight over like the Nick's well

47:46

Like it just there is that thing where that was passed

47:50

I walked past a group of Nick's fans. It was like three o'clock in the morning

47:54

On the streets in New York like a group of like young guy

47:57

Guys all like hyped up and one of them was like let's go find that guy who wanted to fight us

48:02

And his buddy was like oh, I think he took off man

48:05

Like like oh man, we can't fight anybody. It's that the thing like I didn't understand that fighting was not normal

48:12

Like I thought so much as exactly. This is what we do. There's always fights going on every night

48:17

And in in in Massachusetts every night ended in a fight for sure

48:21

That would be the the end of the party

48:23

But even the idea of like people being like you know

48:26

Flagpole three p.m. Or whatever like setting a time to to hit each other

48:31

Seems so strange to me and but even not like in terms of the like

48:36

Scaling the walls of it all I'm very happy to see the Nick's win

48:40

And I'm very happy to see the city be so caught up in it

48:44

I think that's wonderful

48:45

But at a certain point I'm always just like what what is it about sports that makes people lose their like to climb buildings to like in filly

48:54

It's even I mean in filly is like forget about it. In filly. Yeah, they have to

48:57

Grease the yes, but if you're not on the team

49:01

Like how can you I don't know why one gets so like it changes their brain chemistry

49:06

I it really gives I feel like and and we talked a little bit before we started the show

49:12

Elliott you're a tremendous present on the Howard Stern wrap-up show whenever you're on there both Paul and I have done the show many times

49:19

but

49:20

It's interesting to listen to the to the grown men on the Howard Stern show talk about the nicks

49:26

Yes, because it's one of the only instances. I feel like where men allow themselves to feel emotions

49:33

Yes, that's so true. It's this kind of thing which is like we can be emotional and let our emotions run wild

49:40

When it's about our team then it's okay like then it's okay to cry or then it's okay to be on the roller coaster of emotion or care

49:49

About something like this, you know, yeah, and even even like

49:53

Howard and John hind they were talking the other day the whole group they were talking about they're the curses and the the um the

49:59

Jinks is the jinks is that one that happens when like

50:03

Howard's wife is on her phone or someone's not in the room where they aren't they're in the room and and these people who are so

50:09

Rees especially Howard who's so practical and so reasonable minded and so science-based

50:14

Was really allowing himself to have fantastical thoughts. Oh, yeah, and it never happens

50:20

But it's like wow basketball a game really takes hold of these of men's emotional states in a way that I can't I

50:29

I don't know what else would it's I think it's it's the stories that they let themselves get caught up in

50:35

I think that sports are the stories that men are like I get invested in this narrative and it's full of ups and downs and it gives me

50:44

I think I'm rooting for these characters and it's a way to that these are some of the only narratives that I feel like men can get involved in that have emotional

50:53

Stakes for them because I don't think otherwise they

50:56

Participate in behavior that allows themselves to exercise their emotions that way

51:01

Let me tell you I am somebody who I think has a foot and either side. I am somebody who I

51:07

Believe isn't touch with my emotions. I am not perfect. I try to be you know

51:11

I'm always trying to learn and be open

51:13

But I can get myself locked into

51:16

Some superstitions like I wore a pair of shoes one time to a clippers game and I was like okay

51:24

And they lost and I was a can't wear those shoes again or until it gets a far far enough away

51:30

That I feel like the stank is off those shoes like you know, there there are certain things and I found myself

51:36

This season if you follow basketball at all the clippers had a decidedly

51:41

awful one of the worst

51:44

openings of an MBA season in history and then had

51:48

one of the most tremendous comebacks like they went from

51:52

Unbelievable losing season to a winning season and no one has ever done that in in MBA history. What they did

51:59

That first half of the season I was miserable. I was miserable

52:03

I was and I was like why am I upset like what am I pissed off at is that my career is it my my wife is my no

52:08

It was my basketball team and and I and I had to then say to myself. I am checking out

52:14

I am gonna take off the alerts on my phone

52:16

They're losing and I'm not watching I didn't go to any of the games because I was like I have a season tickets and I was like I'm not

52:23

I can't I can't support this because it's destroying me like it's not fun

52:28

Well, I have to say as as hard as that sounds when it's when the season is not going well. Yeah, I am

52:35

Genuinely envious that you have this external thing this like

52:41

ongoing, yes, you know sport with players and staffs

52:46

Conjunct and fried it. Yeah, that's me. I'm like god. I wish I were

52:51

Passionate about something like that that I followed closely and had I mean the only thing that gets the only two things that get

52:58

Remotely close to that for me are very much opposite ends ends of the spectrum one is stern

53:04

Like a stern universe and the other is root pulse drag race. Oh my gosh. Yeah, all things like sort of traffic in that

53:11

Have you by the way seen stop that train?

53:13

Not yet. You're oh my gosh. I'm in it for about 25 seconds and wow thrilled to be in it

53:20

Yeah, it is it is it is great, but no, but but I think it's all the same thing right? It is it's like

53:25

These are like we're on the side like Howard Stern and I know Jason. I've been there together like there's something magical about it

53:32

It's like where I don't want to mess it up, but I I want to just be around it

53:36

I also don't want to like for lack of a better term

53:39

I like when I go I've gotten a few chances of

53:42

Being around clippers players and talking to them. I don't want to I don't want to fan out

53:47

But I also want to be there like it's a very hard thing to kind of find that emotional place

53:53

I'm so I'm like a kid like I'm I'm and we did the league and I like that's the joy of it though

53:58

I imagine yes, yes, that's what it is because like you can and that's why I'll say like going to the stop that train premiere

54:04

Um, there's so many people there. They're just were fans of

54:08

drag drag race and my and my good friend

54:11

Uh a dad out here that I am friends with like that's his show. He's been making drag race forever

54:15

He's the best eat but it's sort of like that fandom is

54:20

It is like it's it is sports are rooting for your people and then they're you know, and it's like and you want to see them

54:24

It's like I I think we all have it

54:26

You know and it's like but I think I always go back to Howard Stern as being like the ultimate parasocial relationship because

54:32

Yes, you have opinions about these people. It's like every I think reality TV is on the format of

54:37

I was just exactly gonna say like I don't watch any reality TV

54:41

I don't watch any in a of the housewives or anything like that

54:45

But Stern is unequivocally a reality show that I've been tuned into for 25 years now

54:52

That I'm so invested in and I'm serious when I say I believe I've asked

54:57

For one selfie with someone in my entire life in my entire life

55:02

I've asked for one selfie and that person was Mary and from Brooklyn. Oh my god

55:07

Who Paul and I saw Elliot you will be jealous of this Paul and I saw because we went to the Howard birthday bash

55:13

Was one of the best night one of the best night was incredible and she walked by and I heard her voice only

55:19

And I was like that's Mary and from Brooklyn and I ran up to get a selfie and I could not be more excited

55:25

Well, it's just so interesting because these people are all like peripheral characters on an you know in a

55:30

Mostly audio format, you know, but you're so invested in them. You know so much about them

55:36

I mean, that's just so

55:38

Unique and so I don't know. It's just so rare

55:41

I mean, I think we should all be

55:44

fans. I think that we're in this business

55:46

We should have things that we just absolutely love and and love with no

55:50

Other reason than just like I'm into this. I want to embrace this. I think it's good for I think it's so much of this show

55:57

Is about promoting our own individual fandom. Yes, you know fandoms for bad movies fandoms for stuff that we talk about and here's whatever it is

56:06

Yeah, I think it's and I think that that's the thing that is maybe lost and and is viewed as being childish

56:11

But when it's put in sports with men or men that are not in touch with other things where they can't fan out where they can't be like

56:18

I love widows bay like you know, they know like they're not like they may like it

56:22

But they're not gonna love it, but they can love me heads love widows bay as well

56:27

It's terrific, but you know what I'm saying? It's like I think that sports allows them because it's real

56:31

Right, it's not fake. They're writing. It's not fake

56:34

But there is that Howard they're there's macho not macho, but like more

56:39

Alpha guys like Howard right Howard. I gotta tell you. You know, it's like well

56:42

There's this funny thing that happens on stern almost every year around the time of Comic Con where they will pull up pictures of

56:51

Either out of shape people dressed as Captain America or out of shape people

56:56

You know, they basically are making fun of people who are cosplaying

57:00

But don't have the superhero bodies and I'm like what's the difference between that and you wearing a jersey of somebody that you

57:08

You don't play basketball or you don't you're not an elite athlete, but you still dress up in their uniforms

57:13

What's the difference? I know it's it's so I mean by the way

57:16

That's my dumbest bit that I do with my kids is like whenever I see anybody in Jersey

57:20

Guys guys jalen promise over there

57:22

I do it all the time

57:25

My dumbest bit

57:27

While we're promoting fandom Elliott your book of course, but is there anything you are very passionate about right now that you would like to

57:34

Like beyond

57:35

Drag Race or like a shows or a movie or any like that

57:39

Um, well, I mean, I mean I have the book coming out in

57:44

Soon in august the terrible horrible no good very bad gay

57:48

And then I but then I'm also

57:50

I mean, I'm interested in talking about sports because I have a video podcast coming out in the Charles Barclay

57:57

Yeah, Charles Barclay

58:00

So you and Charles Barclay like you are going to be you basically are coming in from the point of view of like

58:05

I don't know much about sports and you're gonna be able to sit down with Charles and I forget the third person is involved in it

58:11

Well, so it's it's just me Charles is executive producing it. Okay, got it

58:15

But I'll be interviewing different like world star athletes in each episode. Oh my god

58:19

Charles will be in our pilot got him with me interviewing him about sports

58:23

And it's not that I know little about sports. I know nothing about okay

58:27

It's a little bit turn it's me turned up like I just turned up a little bit in how

58:33

Not just illiterate I am when it comes to sports

58:35

But how it's almost like I don't understand like almost like I'm an alien who just landed on earth

58:39

And it's just doesn't even understand like balls and gravity and I love this like all like just taking it to that approach where it's like

58:48

I just it's not just not being a sports fan. It's just not even understanding

58:52

Why like what's the deal with this Elliot if you ever need a co-host for an episode

58:58

Yeah, I am similarly sports ignorant and sports agnostic. Oh my god. I'm I have no

59:06

Frame of reference. I'm not engaged

59:08

Yeah, I mean that's that's that's the yeah, but that's sort of what I found has but your natural curiosity for stories and for stories and people is

59:16

Essential. Yes, it's not coming from a shady place. It's coming from a place of curiosity and

59:22

Baffling ignorance. Well, this is what I'll tell you that the coolest thing about sports and many respects is exactly what we're all talking about

59:29

Which is the story right the story of these players like Jalen Brunson

59:34

You know and his dad is up as a story that was part of this you know of this championship and there's all these

59:40

Like little things like there's a great one of the great guys on the spur of champagne

59:45

He was cut from the 76ers to make room for mac macong mac macong is just an amazing

59:51

Dunker like and he but he's not a great basketball player

59:54

But they had to pick him up to he could put him in the all-star game for the the dunk weekend

59:58

So they got rid of this guy champagne. He's awesome

1:00:01

But they just did it to have like representation in the all-star

1:00:05

Champagne sounds like one of the new guys on jackass. Hey, don't mean I would love to see champagne

1:00:10

Oh, man, it's poopies. It's champagne and they're in with Preston and we man

1:00:16

I like champagne. He should be in there

1:00:19

Elliot I we're gonna listen to your podcast. We're gonna more importantly buy your book

1:00:23

We're gonna pre-order your book even though it comes out next week. Just order it now get it done now because honestly

1:00:28

Just to say I just want to make sure that people know this if you if you like it

1:00:32

Where you're gonna help them the most is by getting this book before the book comes out because

1:00:36

Uh that helps to all the the it makes other bookstores order them it may make the New York Times bestseller

1:00:43

Let's all those certain things so this is where you can do it and you can order it in many different spots

1:00:47

You don't have to say like well mococo through Amazon if you can but you can also there's there's there's many places

1:00:53

That you can find a book you can support independent bookstores by pre-ordering actually does help too

1:00:58

But anyway, so I just want to make sure you're gonna be you're gonna be doing some live book promotion in New York

1:01:04

NLA and maybe some other spots. Yeah, hopefully some other smaller cities too

1:01:08

But is the book available in an audiobook? Do you read the audiobook and that's because I feel like your I feel like you reading this book

1:01:17

It's gonna be like like I listen to Paul's book as the audiobook because I want to hear that yeah

1:01:23

I want to hear you tell me these stories in my ear and I think it was so

1:01:28

I don't know I don't know about you Paul

1:01:30

But it was so cathartic to actually do the audiobook because you know in trying to like in trying to hit the right note

1:01:37

Between like literary and like stand-up ish

1:01:41

Observational performative comedy getting to do it on the audiobook and getting to bring those words to life and put it in like

1:01:47

Actual voice was so special. You know what was so interesting was I listened to Kevin Hartz

1:01:52

One of Kevin Hartz books on tape and he really I mean and this there could be multiple reasons for this

1:01:57

But he basically is like I'm just gonna do it my way and and kind of and it was fun

1:02:02

It's like yeah, you can make your own and it's your own voice and the inflections change. It's I love it. I

1:02:07

I recommend that everybody

1:02:09

Listen to the audiobook by any by any version of it you can and if you can't buy then make sure you reserve it the library

1:02:15

It is the terrible horrible no good very bad gay

1:03:20

after he had wrapped and the stories that I had heard about the shooting of that thing

1:03:25

1:03:26

I'm mind blowing like in a way that I was like whoa and for a long time

1:03:30

I was like when is that ever gonna come out and then it did come out
