2:04
to talk about Austin Powers. We're going to have a blast.
2:08
So. OK, tell me, tell me a little
2:11
bit about your history with Austin Powers.
2:13
Like when did you see it for the first time?
2:15
Like is it like a like a long time favorite?
2:18
What's? The deal.
2:18
OK, so here's the deal. This is like an early memory.
2:21
I remember just seeing it. We had this small theater in
2:24
town. I'm from like the country kinda,
2:26
and it was this theater that played like it had two screens.
2:30
There was something on the other one, I can't remember what it
2:32
was probably something like Bruce Willis movie or some shit.
2:35
But it was I saw this Austin Powers poster and it was him and
2:40
like all these like hands around him, like the Finbots hands, you
2:43
know, and I was just like, what is this?
2:45
And my my humor was kind of like I wasn't I didn't get stuff, you
2:51
know, you know, when you're little kid, you don't really get
2:53
adult humor and stuff. But this movie was the first
2:56
movie that I was like, I was like, ohh, my.
2:59
It blew my mind. Yeah.
3:01
It was like comedy LSD man like. Comedy rocks like.
3:05
It it unlocked something in me. Yeah, it definitely unlocked
3:07
something. For you went to the portal.
3:09
I went yes, I definitely went to the other side with this movie.
3:14
Oh my gosh. And then and you came back.
3:16
Yeah, I came back. It was like, it was like one of
3:18
those movies where I was like, Oh my God, this is funny.
3:21
And everyone around me thought it was funny.
3:22
Yeah. Like, you know how your buddies,
3:24
like always, you kind of like, get the same humor at the same
3:26
time. Yeah, totally.
3:27
Like, Oh my God, this is like really good.
3:29
Yeah, it's really good. And you know, before that I was
3:33
watching like SNL and stuff, but I didn't know.
3:35
I didn't really know a lot of Mike Myers things, but I knew,
3:39
you know, Wayne's World. I'd seen that, but not really.
3:42
You're like a little kid, kind of just like, oh, that guy looks
3:45
goofy, you know? And yeah, this kind of got me
3:48
into my like, just into like, comedy.
3:52
Yeah, well, I. Started watching SNL after that
3:56
and I started watching just comedy movies and I found out
4:00
more about Mike Myers. Yeah, who like one of my
4:03
favorite, if not all time favorite cast member of Saturday
4:06
Night. Really.
4:07
Yeah. Wow, I love, I love Mike Myers.
4:10
Yeah, dude, like everything he does, I'm like, Oh my God, yeah,
4:14
'cause after this I watched. So I married an axe murderer and
4:17
I went on this whole Mike Myers, which I think is very highly
4:20
under movie. So freaking good.
4:22
Yeah, definitely. It encapsulates that 90s because
4:25
I think it's based in, is it San Francisco where that one is?
4:28
Yeah. And yeah, it's just like, it's
4:32
cool. He wasn't playing a character
4:34
except when he played his dad, who was a Scottish guy.
4:37
Yeah, Oh my God. He moved now.
4:40
So many quotable things. In that movie, yeah, totally.
4:43
He's definitely like the 90s quotable movie guy.
4:47
Yeah. You know, yeah.
4:49
And I feel like he was kind of the last of that era of SNL
4:56
sketches turned into movies type thing.
4:59
You know, like that's something that I think, you know, for the
5:03
most part it's for the best that we don't do that anymore.
5:06
Like take something that should just be short form and make it
5:09
into a whole movie. But but you know you can't fault
5:13
the guy cuz he really delivered every time so.
5:16
And we, you know, cuz I'm trying to think the last one SNL did
5:20
like that. It probably Macgruber.
5:22
Yeah, probably Macgruber was like a full movie.
5:25
Yeah. It's just silly.
5:26
And I love, I love silliness and comedy, you know?
5:30
Are you? Have you?
5:30
Seen my show. I'm not like politically driven.
5:33
I'm not up there like talking things like that.
5:37
But like, I love silly. Silly is like the best man.
5:41
Silly is what we're here for, honestly.
5:44
Like what? Why do it if it's not silly and
5:46
fun? That's kind of my whole thing.
5:49
And also I really appreciate that you're I I just have this,
5:54
I have this beef with comedians that are like, you know, comedy
5:57
is the modern philosophy. We're the modern philosopher.
6:01
We're Swedish speaking. We're.
6:03
Saying the things. That other people can't say.
6:05
It's like you're just telling a joke and you're and you're
6:07
talking about poo poo, pee pee and it's.
6:09
Funny, yeah. And I love that.
6:11
We need to Sure, we need to laugh, but you know it's don't.
6:16
Everyone does it, which it's kind of like, you know, comedy's
6:20
kind of like it's a, it's a spice rack.
6:23
You know, some people like this, some people like that and, you
6:28
know, those comics, they can do it.
6:30
That's cool. What's cool about comedy is you
6:32
can do whatever you want, you know?
6:33
But I just never just for me, I've just never been into that.
6:37
I don't want people to be like, oh, that that show really moved
6:41
me. Really going to, yeah, I'm going
6:44
to, I'm going to change who I vote for in the midterm
6:46
elections because of Dustin, like.
6:49
Yeah, Destiny Barra, known community organizer.
6:54
Power of laughter through the power of Dick jokes and.
6:58
I've seen comics who do that too.
7:01
I've worked with them before and it's like, it's like starting to
7:04
shit with the crowd and stuff. And I don't know, I think it's
7:07
just 'cause I come from like, Dallas and like working the road
7:11
of like, you know, you go to a show and you're at a bar and you
7:15
try to make people laugh, right? And like, that's always been my
7:18
thing in comedies. Like, OK, set up Punchline,
7:20
let's get to the jokes. Right, that's what the people
7:22
came here for. But who knows, maybe I'll do
7:24
that. It's Crusty the clown thing.
7:26
One day I pull my hair back into a ponytail.
7:30
Oh my God, they wouldn't see it coming.
7:32
Smoke a cigarette. They they wouldn't forget it
7:35
I'll. Say that I burned the
7:37
Constitution. And it's the real 1.
7:41
You stole it. Yes, exactly.
7:43
And that's the whole joke. It's funny.
7:46
I got a felony, guys, yeah. Better believe it, but as we
7:51
said, you're doing a metal detector show, picking up trash
7:54
and treasures and you know if you pick up an up trash, you
7:59
should be able to just backlog. That I I should be able to, I
8:02
think so, yeah. I think so.
8:04
Commit a crime, small misdemeanor, just enough trash.
8:06
Tiny, tiny. I've been doing that.
8:09
Dustin digs, by the way, if anyone wants to follow.
8:11
Oh yeah, absolutely. On YouTube, I put it on my
8:13
YouTube and my I do it a lot of I do it.
8:16
I started doing it on TikTok Live 'cause I was metal
8:19
detecting. I got into it and I lived by the
8:20
beach, and I was like, you know, as we think this day and age as
8:25
creators, it's like, OK, I need people to see this.
8:28
Totally. You're like, all right, got it.
8:29
Yeah, we were talking about that beforehand.
8:31
That's like, you can't just like have fun by yourself.
8:34
It's like, all right, I'm going to mow the lawn.
8:36
How do I monetize this? Let's put on.
8:39
Let's put a GoPro on the lawn. You're like, do you think John
8:43
Deere would sponsor this if I? Yeah, I got a metal detecting
8:48
company. By the way, shout out Garrett
8:50

8:53

9:52
Yeah. This is the first place I've

9:57
That's so cool. We're fucking Denver.
10:01
Finally. That's amazing.
10:04
That's such a good feeling, like to feel like excited to go home.
10:09
Yeah. And when you get home, you're
10:10
just like. It's amazing.
10:13
So, so rare in the greater LA area.
10:19
For. People, I don't know, you live
10:21
there, maybe you have a lot of friends who love living there,
10:23
but. I kind of live like on the
10:24
outskirts. Exactly, Yeah.
10:26
I lived in Hollywood forever and I was just like, oh God,
10:29
Hollywood. Enough.
10:30
There's always like, there's like crazy stuff every weekend,
10:33
every week there's some kind of like protest or something or
10:35
some kind of I got stuck. Oh my God, wasn't the Popeye's
10:38
drive through And I pulled out and I was getting ready to to go
10:42
and a friggin March started like right in front of me and I got
10:45
stuck in the drive through. Oh.
10:47
You got stuck in the Popeyes. Drive I got stuck but luckily
10:50
I'd gotten my food so I was just I.
10:51
Think I was just going to say I hope that it was.
10:55
I hope you weren't waiting there at the window.
10:56
Oh. That would have sucked if I
10:58
didn't get the food. Jen, you're the car right before
11:01
the window. I would have.
11:02
I would have parked and went inside of course.
11:04
Yeah, sorry, don't care about the 'cause you guys, you guys
11:09
are cancelled to. Me, whoever did that.
11:13
OK, so Austin Powers, obviously very formative to you.
11:16
Did you ever watch like the old James Bond movies that this is
11:21
like making fun of? Knew about them.
11:23
Yeah. Cool.
11:23
So yeah, I'd watch James Bond and stuff and I kind of, I like
11:27
got it and it was yeah. It was just one of those movies
11:31
where every time I watched it, like my comedy, it went up.
11:38
My, my, my, just the comprehension of comedy, like
11:41
went totally, Oh, that's funny because of that.
11:44
That's funny you. Know yeah, totally.
11:45
It is like, one thing I love about Austin Powers is that like
11:48
it's a very joke dense movie. I love joke dense movies.
11:52
There it's like joke after joke after joke.
11:54
You don't have to wait for the next thing.
11:56
Like honestly, there's no there They don't even take time to
11:59
like let it sit. It's just like another joke,
12:02
another joke. And I kind of like that.
12:03
I like, I like feeling like I could just laugh the whole time,
12:06
especially when it's like an 85 minute movie.
12:08
You know what I mean? And it's a certain like, yeah,
12:11
it's just like back to the spice rack.
12:12
It's kind of like, you know, it's like at the Naked Gun.
12:17
Zucker brothers feel too. And I love, I love jokes in
12:21
movies, you know, me too, which, you know, I'm thinking about
12:24
that now. Like there's no comedies like
12:25
that anymore. There's no, there's really no
12:27
comedies if for kids anymore, like teens, you know?
12:34
Yeah, I haven't seen a comedy movie like in a long time.
12:37
It's like a just funny, silly ass movie.
12:40
Totally. Something that's like raunchy,
12:41
but it's on the line. Yeah, you know, like this, I
12:45
mean there's. How it affects the new
12:46
generation? I know they just.
12:49
I'll tell you what, they're probably not funny.
12:50
Yeah, they're. Not funny.
12:53
They're not funny. They're not making jokes about
12:55
poo and pee and boobs and butts. Exactly.
12:58
What is life without jokes about poo and pee and boobs and butts?
13:01
Exactly. Great pee scene in Austin
13:03
Powers. So funny, I was literally
13:05
thinking about that this morning when I let my dog out.
13:07
Oh, it was so cold. And I was ready for, I was ready
13:10
for him, you know, wrap it up and he's peeing and he's almost
13:13
done. And then he starts peeing again.
13:16
And I was like, it's like he watched that movie with me last
13:19
night. So, so stupid.
13:22
And I giggled to myself because that's what happens when you
13:24
have like a really, when you have a really joke dense movie,
13:29
You remember all of the like, you remember all of those, like,
13:33
punchline hits, right? I mean, that's why it's, like,
13:36
so quotable. Yeah.
13:37
But, and I could see, like, them making that movie too, just
13:40
those little things that like, Oh my God, this would be funny
13:43
if you did this. Yeah, totally.
13:44
His leg twitching like a dog. You know when he's big.
13:48
Yeah, totally. You can tell that there was like
13:50
moments where they're like, OK, like it was very, I don't know,
13:53
I'm guessing that there was that there was like a writer's room
13:59
feel in the creation of this. I have no idea if that's true,
14:01
but it feels like there's somebody who's like, OK, how can
14:04
we punch this up? Like, how can we, like, take
14:06
this to the next level? You know what I mean?
14:09
When I first saw Austin Powers, I had no idea that it was a
14:13
spoof on like James Bond and spy movies.
14:17
Had never seen them before, so I thought it was just stupid.
14:20
I was like, it's kind of funny, but I don't get it.
14:26
I was just like, OK, so who's this guy?
14:29
What's his deal? Like, I didn't understand that
14:32
it was based on this like satire, you know what I mean?
14:37
So it was just like taking. It at big.
14:39
Value I was like. It's a weird character.
14:43
I mean, I was like 10 when I saw this.
14:45
It was like one of the one of those like PG13 movies that like
14:51
I probably, I mean I was a second child like I'm the baby
14:55
of the family so I pretty much could watch whatever I wanted.
14:58
My sister like she had to wait till she was 13 to watch PG13
15:01
movies. She had like my, my parents were
15:04
like way more involved in like whatever she was doing to not
15:07
get her in trouble. But for me they were like, all
15:09
right, whatever, like do whatever you want.
15:11
So I watched a lot of not like crazy raunchy movies when I was
15:16
a kid, but like I definitely I definitely saw like a good share
15:22
of PG13 movies when I was like like 8 to 12 in that in that era
15:27
when like stupid humor is geared exactly for and I just like
15:36
didn't, I didn't get it. I didn't have any of the
15:39
context. I thought it was kind of funny,
15:41
but I was just like, I don't know.
15:44
And I didn't understand like the stuff with Seth the son.
15:48
I was like, I don't understand what this is because I, because
15:51
I didn't understand what, I didn't understand what
15:53
cryogenics were, you know, it was just like I was a dumb 8
15:57
year old. See, I might have been a little
16:00
bit older because I, I do remember I, I would get things,
16:03
but I would get more each time I watched it.
16:05
Totally, Yeah. Like, you ever go back and see a
16:08
movie when you're a kid and you watch it now and you're like,
16:10
oh, I totally did not know what was going on.
16:12
Exactly. That's thing now because like I
16:15
used to drink a lot. I don't watch movies, just
16:18
totally shit faced and I'd go back and watch him again sober.
16:21
I'm like, I did what? This is crazy.
16:23
A pretty good movie, you know. I do that all the time where
16:27
there's like movies that I had watched when I was drinking that
16:31
I like truly don't remember. I'm like, I know I've seen this,
16:34
but it's as though I've I'm watching this for the very first
16:37
time. Like no not no memory.
16:40
Yeah, exactly. Yeah.
16:41
So Schindler, he was the good guy.
16:44
Yeah, it. Kind of didn't, really.
16:47
Yeah, I was drunk in there. He gets drunk during Schindler's
16:50
List. A bad guy.
16:53
Famous comedy Schindler's. List.
16:55
Yeah. Totally.
16:56
You're like, I thought that one was kind of funny.
16:57
Drinking. What is it?
16:59
What is it? Black and white?
17:00
What's going on? Is my TV messed up?
17:03
Yeah, exactly. That was kind of, I mean, so
17:07
basically watching a movie as an 8 year old is a very similar
17:11
experience as watching it as a drunk adult.
17:13
Because I was like, I don't really get what's going on.
17:16
I can't really pay attention. There are some things that are
17:20
funny, but I didn't really, I didn't really get it.
17:23
I didn't even really understand like what sex was.
17:25
And that's like quite foundational to the whole thing
17:28
of like, him being a sex symbol. Yeah, but I do remember running
17:32
around the house 'cause I didn't really know either, but I was
17:33
gonna, Oh my God, this unlocked a memory.
17:36
I would run around my house being like, do I make you horny?
17:40
Am I hot or like telling my mom and shit?
17:43
My God, do I make you horny, baby?
17:47
Like what? It was this little kid running
17:49
around. Shall we shag now and shag
17:53
later? You can't see that.
17:56
Tiny little Dustin runner. Oh my God, did your parents kind
18:02
of let you watch Whatever? Hell no.
18:04
Oh my God, really? Luckily my mom was going through
18:07
a divorce so you kind of get. Thank God you really got a good
18:10
that period of time when your parent like when when a parent's
18:13
going through a divorce. Oh holds the media that you can
18:17
consume, the drugs you can try for.
18:20
The first time I mean. God, there's so much.
18:23
'Cause they're doing the same thing.
18:25
Yeah, exactly. She's like.
18:27
She's like, I just want to laugh again.
18:29
Yeah, yeah. Oh man, I love it.
18:33
So this, this movie was obviously very well received,
18:41
like it was, it was a box office success, like critically pretty
18:46
well received, obviously spawned 2 more movies, which, OK, let me
18:50
ask you, which of the three Austin Powers movies is your
18:53
favorite? That guy would say the first
18:57
one. Yeah, yeah, first one.
19:02
Then I'm trying to think of two or three.
19:05
I got to rewatch 2 and 3. Yeah, the three is the one with
19:08
Beyoncé in it. So that that for me, for me, it
19:11
goes 132 I think. But I mean, they're all, they're
19:15
all pretty good. Yeah, I mean, none of them are
19:17
Empire Strikes Back, but that's really.
19:20
Yeah, none of them are really. Yeah, they're not changing the
19:23
narrative, but not they're not doing anything really
19:27
revolutionary, like it's just a classic comedy.
19:31
He's goofy. Yeah, I could go for another
19:33
Austin Powers movie, you know? Me too.
19:36
Now more than ever. We love Mike Myers.
19:39
Me too. Come on, let's get him.
19:41
Let's get him in front of the camera.
19:43
He's got to get just let him be a character.
19:46
Go on, let's go. OK, something that I think is so
19:51
funny as I rewatch this in 2026 is that like the idea of like,
19:57
free love ENM, it's not new. The whole like, you know, like,
20:05
you know, sleep with whoever you want, everyone.
20:09
I don't know, like, yeah, the whole free love thing.
20:12
I think that kids today forget. That in the 60s they did that
20:16
first. They did, yeah.
20:18
It's not new. It's not new.
20:19
No swinging, not new. Yeah, all.
20:22
And you know every. Wild back then, yeah.
20:24
Insane. And they were, as we saw, no
20:27
condoms. Yeah, I think he says a line
20:31
about. That yeah, he's like, she's
20:33
like, did you use protection? He's like, well I had my 9mm
20:36
like. I loved it like that.
20:40
Oh my. God it Do you think?
20:42
OK, one thing that is like a little bit creepy about Austin
20:47
Powers is the fact that like the what's her name?
20:52
I'm sorry to I'm sorry to all the people who like are die hard
20:56
fans of this movie because I often forget the names of the
20:59
characters. Vanessa Kensington.
21:01
Vanessa. Kensington play by Elizabeth
21:03
Hurley. Exactly.
21:04
So I think it is a little bit creepy, kind of a lot creepy,
21:08
that in the movie, Vanessa Kensington's mom was in love
21:15
with Austin Powers, and now her daughter is married to him.
21:21
Yeah, that's disgusting. That to me is horrific because
21:27
like the whole premise is like, but.
21:29
It's so it's so funny with the movie though.
21:32
She's like. He's so irresistible, you know
21:35
what I'm saying with his. Fucking teeth.
21:37
Yeah, that was. He's this irresistible.
21:43
Dude, yeah, and his in his, his chest hair, the whole thing.
21:48
It's like all of the costumes and gags are also so sketch
21:51
comedy like. They're not, they're not
21:55
designed to look realistic. It's designed to look like a guy
21:59
with a silly tooth mouthpiece in and Velcro chest hair.
22:05
Like, nobody, nobody in the costume design department is
22:10
like when winning an Oscar, Like they're purposefully just like,
22:13
we grabbed this out of the prop bin or whatever.
22:18
But But yeah, I did think that it was unnecessarily creepy that
22:25
Vanessa Kensington did marry and shag her mom's original love.
22:33
Yes, but at least they never had sex.
22:36
Oh yeah, the. Mom.
22:37
The mom, Yeah. Yeah, but you know, I mean,
22:41
spoiler alert, she turns out to be a fimbot in number two.
22:44
Such a. Bummer, I know.
22:46
So it's like the. Fimbots.
22:49
Can we talk about the Fimbots? Let's.
22:50
Talk about them. Oh my God, Fimbots.
22:52
They're like is a, is a kid, you know?
22:55
Oh. My God.
22:56
Is a is a male dude, he's like, wow, wow you.
23:01
Said can do that. Yeah, holy shit.
23:04
Yeah. Not only did it unlock comedy
23:06
and unlocked a few other things, Elizabeth, her early the fin
23:11
bots, I was like, wow, yeah, that.
23:15
Was now that I take it back, that was revolutionary.
23:19
That was revolutionary. That really did something for a
23:22
lot of little kids across. It's definitely, yeah, yeah.
23:28
It's definitely one of those like, Oh yeah.
23:30
Oh, I'm definitely straight. You know, this is.
23:33
Yeah, yeah. My little brother's not but I'm
23:36
but he liked Austin Powers too. But we both loved.
23:41
We both loved awesome. He might have been into Austin.
23:43
I was just going to say he's irresistible.
23:45
He is irresistible. Behave.
23:47
Yeah, we're both looking at different things the whole
23:49
movie. You know, honestly, I think that
23:53
I have kind of a thing for Seth Green.
23:56
Seth Green I. Do I do I'm I'm not afraid to
23:59
see it. That's funny.
24:00
I think he's like. He's such a like, I mean, I
24:04
think that like him and like what's his what's his name from
24:11
Scream and. SLC.
24:14
Punk. No.
24:15
It's Matt something. Anyway, yeah, I know who you're
24:19
tired. About like those guys who are
24:21
like. Jaggy and Scooby-doo, yeah.
24:22
Exactly. Exactly.
24:23
Those dudes are cool. I kind of like yeah, yeah, I
24:26
remember. Can't hardly wait.
24:27
I saw. I love that baby, Oh my God.
24:29
With him with like the fucking goggles.
24:33
Yeah, that's one of my favorite teen movies is Can't Hardly
24:36
wait. I love that.
24:37
Movie. There was some good teen movies
24:39
back then too. Oh my God, I miss teen movies.
24:41
Even though, OK, Austin Powers is not.
24:44
It's not a teen movie. It was a movie made for young,
24:49
dumb, funny people. Yeah, or people who were kind of
24:52
discovering. It's kind of like a teen, you
24:54
know, it's, it's a different, like you would watch those same
24:57
movies, you know? Right, exactly.
24:59
People who watch can't hardly wait.
25:00
Probably watched Yeah, awesome powers.
25:02
Totally, yeah, 'cause it's just like, it's a incredibly simple
25:08
plot, no room for, like, interpretation, you know, it's
25:12
truly just like face value. Well, I mean, I guess this one
25:16
is a satire. So there's like specific things
25:18
that they're calling out that kids may or may not know.
25:21
But like, overall, it's like a story of like good versus evil.
25:28
Yeah. Jokes.
25:31
Yeah, that's. It this goofy things, Yeah.
25:33
Physical comedy happening, Totally.
25:35
The whole yeah, the whole dance in front of the Finbots was
25:39
like, hilarious. Oh my God.
25:41
With his little, with his little British flag, yeah.
25:45
That was the biggest. Oh my God.
25:48
Yeah. When he ripped off the pants, he
25:50
saw the British flag underwear. With his little, with he does
25:55
his little thing with his hip where he's like.
25:57
Yeah, can't handle. Can't.
26:00
Handle it. They all explode.
26:03
It's. In that's like my one.
26:05
OK, so one of my favorite things to do is I'll, I'll talk with my
26:08
friend, 'cause we both love those joke dense movies.
26:11
Yeah, and we'll just be like, OK, let's try the Leslie Nelson
26:14
movie. So we'll just do like, OK, The
26:18
the last one we did was like, OK, Leslie Nelson on a
26:21
submarine. Oh my God.
26:22
It's like you're gonna already picture that scene where
26:27
everyone's like quiet and everything like hang on, turn
26:30
down. Hey, stop making that noise
26:31
Suddenly, like you see the guys playing ping pong, trying to
26:34
stop playing ping pong. Stop doing the ASMR.
26:42
They're just yeah, I love. Like I love those stupid goofy
26:46
boots. I love.
26:46
It's so, it's so fun. And isn't that why we're here?
26:50
To have fun? Yeah, but those fin bots when
26:53
they're exploding? That's probably that's probably
26:56
my favorite part of the movie is the fembots exploding.
27:01
Yeah, and then they got the song behind it too.
27:04
I touch myself. Just the ultimate, like
27:07
everything's happening. Your mind is blown.
27:10
What? I was watching it.
27:11
I was watching him with my with my boyfriend last night.
27:14
He pulls out his phone. He's like, who sings that song
27:17
again? I was like, I don't know.
27:19
He like looks it up on Spotify, says ADD bad.
27:22
Yeah to. He was like, I love that song.
27:24
Who was it? I can't remember the name of the
27:26
artist, but he was like a good song.
27:28
He heard that song and he was like, man, I love that song.
27:32
Yeah. Yeah, so stupid now my my song
27:35
in that movie was was it bossa Nova?
27:37
The theme to the. Yeah, yeah.
27:41
Yeah, and that for me. OK, this is and This is why I
27:45
chose awesome powers. OK, Oh my God.
27:47
So everyone get ready. Yeah, when I was in school, you
27:50
know, mom was going through a lot was happening.
27:54
I was moving from school to school to school, could never
27:57
make friends. I was just a nerdy kid.
28:00
I I didn't really know myself at all.
28:02
I I was very lonely and I had signed up for dance class 'cause
28:08
I wanted to perform and I'm like and it's.
28:10
So sweet. You also had to do you had to do
28:13
a a a physical like PE credit and I chose dance I.
28:17
Chose dance. Yeah, I'd like to dance.
28:19
But it was like me, two other dudes, One was this Puerto Rican
28:23
dude there was very suave, just trying to get laid.
28:26
Like, that's why he took the class.
28:28
The other dude was this. Yeah, The other dude was this
28:30
gay kid who was like, really like, into it and stuff.
28:33
And I was just this like fat nerdy kid and.
28:37
Fat nerdy kid with no other options.
28:39
Yeah, yeah. You know, And I at the end of
28:42
the year, though, they had this thing where you choose a dance
28:44
to do and you know, it's in, it was this huge thing in front of
28:49
like this auditorium, really the whole high school was.
28:52
Oh my God. And it was like.
28:54
Insane. But I chose the Austin Powers.
28:57
I made an Austin Powers dance shut up.
29:00
And you had to do like dance moves so that you learned in
29:02
class. You had to incorporate like a
29:04
step ball change and a pot, a Boo ray.
29:07
Oh. My God, that's.
29:08
Amazing. Yeah.
29:09
So I did that and when I came out on stage, I had the whole
29:13
awesome powers get up on and I that was people heard the song
29:18
and then they saw me come out and they're like, and the kids
29:22
lost their shit. And that was the first time I
29:26
was like, what? A star is born.
29:29
But that was my star is born moment.
29:31
I swear to God, that was like it destroyed.
29:35
And then they were like, Oh my God, they were losing their
29:38
shit. And like the next day I was like
29:40
the most popular kid at school. It was like incredible.
29:43
It was so that was my moment. That was like best moment I
29:47
think I've ever had in my life. And you've been chasing that
29:49
high ever since. Pretty much it beats The Tonight
29:51
Show beats like everything I've ever done.
29:54
I if I could, I'm just trying to recapture that Austin Powers
29:57
moment. That honestly, I'm I'm picking
30:00
my jaw up off the floor. That's incredible.
30:03
I like. It was a game change because it
30:05
like I was so I was it is that I was so sad and such a miserable
30:09
kid and just everything in life I hated.
30:12
And then that when I first like that moment of getting like
30:16
laughs and getting people like into it and like just like it
30:19
was just, it was. And yeah.
30:21
And then I started getting into theater and then I started like
30:23
doing it. It was just, it was really cool.
30:25
You know, I started doing stand up.
30:26
That is incredible. So that's why I love Mike Myers,
30:30
love Austin Powers. Totally changed the game for me.
30:33
That's amazing. It's so sweet.
30:35
My heart is so my God bring a tear to my eye, Dustin.
30:40
I get you. When I think about, I'm like, Oh
30:42
yeah, you. Know Mike Myers, Thank you.
30:45
Yeah, Have I ever seen Mike Myers?
30:46
I'm like him. Say you're the reason and it's
30:49
not. And it's not just because I
30:50
watched this movie. No, it's because in front of an
30:53
entire high school, people who had no idea who I.
30:55
Was no, it was insane. So every time I hear that, I'm
31:00
like, coming from the backstage. You're back.
31:03
Oh my. God, the moment your life
31:04
changed, God, that is so that that is truly like.
31:09
I say this with full earnestness, like one of the
31:12
sweetest stories I've ever heard on this podcast.
31:14
That is so that is so fun. Yeah, it was like, really?
31:18
That's what it's all about. Is that is a good time?
31:21
Hell yeah. That's awesome.
31:22
Did you, do you like doing like impressions?
31:26
Like did that become like a thing like you doing impressions
31:29
of celebrities or was it more like you?
31:31
You were like, oh, I like playing it a character.
31:34
I, I don't know, I kind of, I didn't really do characters.
31:38
Stand up really changed things for me because stand up got me
31:41
more into just stand up, you know, And then it became a thing
31:45
of like I, I guess there's in comedy, you can do a few
31:50
different routes, but you know, some people go to the
31:52
Groundlings and the UCB and the improv.
31:55
But for me, stand up with something where you could do it
31:59
almost every night and you do it yourself.
32:02
You don't have to depend on other people.
32:05
It's just you and the microphone.
32:06
But I mean, I loved I, I could have went either route because I
32:10
love characters and I'll try to incorporate them sometimes like,
32:14
but I never really do big impressions on stage.
32:16
I'll do like, do you like a Jack Black really quick?
32:20
Oh yeah. Or like.
32:21
I mean, look at you. Yeah, I've been trying to do the
32:22
Jason Momoa lately. I love that, Jason.
32:26
What's up, dudes? Yeah, man, Just yeah.
32:32
I believed it. I feel like I was watching Dune
32:33
right now, yeah. And the JD Vance meme, that's
32:39
some people. Someone sent me that.
32:41
They're like, you look like the JD Vance meme.
32:43
I'm like what? Someone messed around with that.
32:47
Wow, love. That, But yeah, it's, I've never
32:50
really been great at impressions.
32:53
Every I've I've, I came really close to like, you know, that
32:58
Saturday Night Live movie they did.
33:00
I came really close to getting the John Belushi part.
33:03
Really. Yeah, and that was, I felt like
33:06
I could have got it too, but I kind of you should have.
33:09
And you? Should have in my opinion.
33:11
I think I tried to be too much like the video that they sent me
33:15
where he was like clean shaven and I should have just went
33:17
because the guy they hired had in my hair and like I I could I
33:22
should have played my version of Belushi rather than reaching for
33:26
it like bring it closer to me. Like being yourself.
33:30
Yeah, that was a bummer. I was like, and what's crazy is
33:34
I went to this high school where like this other actress, this
33:37
actress who is like, she was a grade below me.
33:41
Her name is Kim Mutula. But she ended up like blowing
33:44
up. And she was in that movie, too.
33:45
Yeah. Which is crazy because we both
33:47
came from this like small Texas town.
33:49
Wow, that's so weird. Yeah, it was weird.
33:52
I know. Yeah, yeah, she's super cool.
33:55
Yeah, man, that dance and theatre program, really, They
33:57
really churn them out, don't they?
33:59
High. School, Yeah, shout out.
34:01
Theatre program. That's Pringle.
34:03
Yeah, hell yeah. Miss Pringle, shout out Friend
34:05
of the Pod. I loved seeing the the cameos in
34:13
this. Like, I don't know if they were
34:15
considered cameos of the time, but I was like, Oh yeah, this
34:17
person's in that movie. This person's in that movie.
34:19
Like when Will Ferrell is when he's in the chair and he's
34:24
talking about how he's been badly burned.
34:25
Oh my. God, I'm still alive.
34:27
I'm still alive, but I'm badly burned.
34:30
Yeah, so. Stupid that that part is fun to
34:35
me another I'm just looking at my notes here of like things
34:37
that I wrote down you. I really liked the, the part
34:44
when Austin Powers, you know, he is, he may be, you know, a
34:50
little outdated when it comes to talking to women.
34:53
He's, you know, he's still thinks that it's time for free
34:56
love and that he can shag whoever he wants.
34:59
But when Elizabeth Hurley's character is drunk and comes on
35:03
to him for the first time, he says you're drunk.
35:06
No, no, this is not how it goes down.
35:08
Very gentleman. I said OK, so maybe he is a
35:11
gentleman, you know, maybe I did believe her mom when she said he
35:14
was a real, you know. Yeah, and that was, that's what
35:17
was cool about him. You know, he was like this cool.
35:20
And you could see the writers, when they're writing that,
35:22
they're like, oh, this is a good moment to show that he's like,
35:24
not a piece of shit. Exactly.
35:25
Yeah, He's not trying to. He's not trying to take
35:28
advantage of women. Like, even though you know, in a
35:31
modern context, watching him like get introduced to a
35:34
colleague and immediately say, are we going to shag now?
35:37
Or shag later. You think, OK, so that doesn't
35:39
age very well, but it's like they're making fun of this James
35:46
Bond type of guy who truly is like that type of character is
35:49
like, I will sleep with whoever I want to because everybody
35:54
wants me. And he Austin Powers is truly
35:58
like, he's not trying to exploit anybody.
36:01
He's just like he's used to living in a world comes.
36:04
From the 60s, yes, psychedelics. And where women are chasing him
36:08
down the street and he eventually is leading a parade
36:11
in a choreographed. Dance number.
36:13
You know what I mean? Like at any moment, he's like,
36:17
at any moment I could be the leader of a parade.
36:20
And so of course everyone wants to sleep with me.
36:23
But he's not trying to like, you know, he's not like a womanizer.
36:26
You know what? I.
36:27
Mean he is a womanizer like he is a bit of a womanizer.
36:31
OK, OK, a little bit, a little. Bit but yeah, he just goes for
36:36
women who are down. Yeah, I think he, like, he what
36:40
I'm trying to say is like, I think he actually does respect
36:43
women. And people might come for me for
36:46
that and say, you know, they're going to rehash all the
36:48
different times where he says stuff that's totally
36:51
inappropriate. But I really do think, I don't
36:54
know, maybe I fell for the charm.
36:55
Maybe it's, you know, maybe he's charmed me.
36:58
But I really think that he's, he's like, you know.
37:01
I hope no one comes after you for Austin Powers.
37:04
That would be so fun. After all of the dumb shit I've
37:06
said on this microphone. If that's the thing that really
37:09
gets me, if that's what gets me cancelled, then you know what?
37:12
Austin. Powers if that's if that's what
37:14
gets me cancelled, then go ahead, go ahead everybody.
37:19
One thing that I think maybe it's hard to tell if it's making
37:24
fun of those old movies and how they portrayed like people from
37:29
different nationalities or if this is just like a product of
37:32
the 90s. But when they go into like the
37:34
United Nations. Yeah.
37:38
It's just like literally every country stereotype they have
37:41
like a bullfighter and like a guy, like everything part of me
37:48
thinks like it's so over the top that it's like making fun of the
37:53
types of films where like there's an an international
37:56
meeting and they have to make every character like a
37:59
caricature of that country. A part of me is also like, well,
38:04
I don't, I don't know. It's hard to tell.
38:06
The intention behind it doesn't even matter.
38:09
Well, I think they were making fun of that because, like, those
38:12
James Bond movies back in the day, they were very like, yeah,
38:15
using the most stereotypical, like, it was, Oh my God, yeah.
38:19
You ever see Live and Let Die? Oh yeah, yeah.
38:22
Now that I you know in new. Orleans.
38:23
God, OH. My God, Oh my God.
38:26
Yeah, it was, Yeah. I think they were making fun of
38:29
that, especially like the Will Ferrell character is like, Oh my
38:31
God. Yeah, yeah.
38:33
With his and then like when they go into put their disguises on
38:38
after like or they go, they go and they like steal the outfits
38:43
from the people at the at the corporation.
38:46
And it's like he goes in and takes this guy with like
38:50
traditional like Indian garb. You don't like that kind of
38:55
stuff. Oh, my God.
38:59
I think that it's just like seeing it now feels like, whoa,
39:02
you know, like it it, it like catches you off guard a little
39:06
bit, at least for me, because I'm like, well, I feel like I
39:09
don't really do that too much in 2026.
39:12
So when you see it, it's kind of like, oh, whoa.
39:15
It's a little whoa. But that's, I think, I think
39:18
you're right. It's like, because it's so
39:20
exaggerated, I think that we are to believe that it's like, you
39:25
know, they're not, they're not really trying to portray
39:28
stereotypes and like offend people.
39:30
They're not like, oh, we're edge Lords.
39:31
We're really going to like shake it up by showing.
39:34
Yeah, and back then it wasn't edge Lords, it wasn't like.
39:37
And that irritates the fuck out of me in comedy.
39:39
And Oh my God. There's people who just want to
39:42
straight up be edgy and I'm like, you will, you will find an
39:50
audience doing that you. Know.
39:53
But then it's like, OK, So what the dude who's going to say this
39:57
on stage and, you know, this slur, whatever.
40:00
And then it's like, all right, where's the jokes then, you
40:02
know, is that going to be your gimmick the whole time?
40:04
Like, yeah, there's a comic. Oh my God, he's so great.
40:07
He's white dude. He says N word.
40:08
It's freaking. It's revolution.
40:10
Yeah. Oh my God, He doesn't give a
40:11
fuck, man. Totally.
40:13
Like it's like, oh, OK, you know, I guess that's your.
40:16
Yeah, I guess that's your thing then.
40:18
Those are also like, I feel like it's, it's like two sides of the
40:22
same coin. The types of comics that are
40:23
like, OK, my comedy is going to change the world.
40:26
It's like those people are doing it, but in like the worst way.
40:29
They're like, my comedy is going to change the world because
40:32
people are going to realize white guys can't say the N word
40:34
You. Know what I mean?
40:36
Yeah. Or they're like, I'm so anti
40:39
censorship that I, you know, I can say whatever I want because
40:42
it's a free country, you know what I mean?
40:44
Yeah, it's very strange. It's like a It's a weird time.
40:48
And then also like if you're that type of edgelord comic,
40:51
like you have to keep upping yourself, you know, like you can
40:56
oh, sorry, it's like you can never just tell the same like
41:01
level of jokes. Like you're going to have to
41:03
like make it more and more offensive to continue to like,
41:07
get likes and get engagement, you know?
41:10
Yeah, 'cause at a certain point you're kind of like, OK, what
41:13
else? What's how else can I be like,
41:17
what's the next offense? I think we've pushed it so far.
41:20
I think we've hit the edge. Yeah, You know what I'm saying?
41:23
There's no. I think we know where the.
41:25
Edge is, yeah. There's no edge anymore, I don't
41:27
think, you know, there's in, you know, the people like that.
41:30
They'll always find an audience, though, Yeah.
41:32
And good for them, you know? But it's just like, yeah, it's
41:37
just, it's never been my thing. And I try not to be super
41:40
critical of comedy because I believe in the whole freedom of
41:44
it. Do you think you know it's just
41:47
not my thing? Yeah, totally.
41:49
Like it's got to be. The thing about comedy is that
41:51
it's got to be funny. Sorry, sorry.
41:54
It can't just be like outlandish and be like, oh, I can't believe
41:57
that someone said that. It's like, I can't believe that
42:00
someone said that and I can't believe I'm laughing at it.
42:02
You know, if it's going to be edgy, if it's going to be
42:06
raunchy, if it's going to be, I mean, here's The thing is that
42:08
like, obviously I don't, I don't want comics to be edge Lords for
42:15
the sake of being edge Lords. But I do like raunch.
42:18
I like when people tell like, you know, I like when people
42:21
tell a raunchy joke if it's funny, you know, like make me,
42:26
make me clutch my pearls, but while I'm laughing.
42:29
You know what I'm saying? And it's like, things have
42:32
changed so much over such a short period of time.
42:36
I don't know, whenever you're hanging out.
42:38
You ever been hanging at a party and everyone's having a good
42:40
time and there's one person that's got to be a fucking
42:44
stick. That's why I look at that.
42:46
I'm like, we're all having fun. There's no bad intentions here.
42:50
I don't like this. Oh God.
42:53
That person don't ruin the. Don't ruin this.
42:55
Yeah, the. Vibe like Oh my God.
42:57
There's, but I don't know, some people are I, I guess more and I
43:00
accept those people too. You got to accept everyone.
43:02
Yeah. And they, you know, and they
43:04
have the right to feel that way and express that, but you know.
43:08
Yeah, I know what you mean. There's like, there's this time
43:10
when. OK.
43:11
Have you ever been to, like, one of those fall festivals where
43:16
they have, like, they have like, a silo just filled with corn
43:21
kernels? Yeah.
43:23
You know what I'm talking about. Yes.
43:24
OK, so people. Die in those all the time.
43:27
Are you serious? Silo suffocate.
43:30
Damn scary. Oh my God.
43:33
OK, well everyone watch out what I'm about to say.
43:36
Don't try it at home. Lay flat.
43:38
Yeah, Lay flat. Do not go swimming in there, but
43:41
there is. OK.
43:42
So I was at this little fall festival a couple years ago
43:45
where like that's part of the attraction is like you go in and
43:48
it's just like a place to play in the corn, I guess.
43:51
And, and we're all having like the time of our lives, you know,
43:55
this is so fun. It just like, it feels so nice
43:57
to just like lay in the corn and, and my friend's boyfriend
44:02
at the time was like, we're all like having fun and we and we
44:08
get out of the corn and I was like, oh, did you have fun?
44:12
And he goes, no, it just makes me really sad.
44:15
Like all of the waste, all the food.
44:17
Waste. And I said, don't you dare.
44:24
We're all having this like peak, like return to childhood moment.
44:28
We're all like, and it's like, yeah, we know it's wasteful.
44:32
It's fucked up. People are hungry everywhere.
44:36
And there's all this corn that literally just these grown
44:38
adults are laying in. Apparently people are dying all
44:43
the time. In these silos, I mean, whenever
44:47
you look at it, it is pretty fucked up, but at the moment
44:50
it's like, ah core. Exactly.
44:52
And then there's the one guy that's like, well, it's really
44:54
wasteful and you're like. We're here to do something bad.
44:58
Shut the fuck up. Shut.
44:59
The fuck up. We're trying to do something bad
45:01
and fun. That is pretty funny.
45:06
And then we went back. We went back last year, this
45:09
time without the boyfriend. He was out of the picture.
45:12
And I said, you guys remember when they'll say, let's say his
45:15
name's Paul. I said, you guys remember when
45:17
Paul tried to ruin the vibe with the corn by telling us it was
45:20
wasteful and we were all like, yeah, glad he's gone.
45:23
And then we went back to doing doing like snow angels in the in
45:27
the corn. Yeah, what the fuck is he doing
45:29
now? Did he volunteer for the Peace
45:31
Corps or some shit? Is he feeding the world right?
45:34
Yeah, maybe. He is.
45:35
That'd be funny if that moved him.
45:37
That would be he's like, this really unlocked something for
45:39
me. So anyway, you know, sometimes
45:46
you do just have to, like, enjoy a laugh.
45:49
Yeah, You know, like I don't do. And it's like, yeah, just chill
45:53
out. Also this this world has so many
45:55
bad things in it. Exactly.
45:58
Work from the top to the bottom bro.
46:00
Truly like I sometimes think that these like when there's
46:05
like an an outrage over a joke that's been like, you know, that
46:10
took it too far. It's like I think that it
46:13
sometimes is distracting, so like.
46:15
Serves as a really a. Really nice convenient
46:18
distraction for like the really bad stuff that's going on.
46:22
That's not to say that like, you know, like obviously like Dave
46:25
Chappelle has done like horrible things to the trans community.
46:28
Like there's been like a lot of, there's a lot of comics who say
46:32
shit and even if it's, you know, even if it gets some laughs,
46:35
it's not OK to do. And also there are a lot of,
46:42
there are a lot of things that like, I think are it's a lot
46:47
easier to be like, I'm really mad at this one person and like,
46:52
we need to get rid of this one, this one bad actor, this one
46:55
person's doing something bad rather than being like, well,
46:59
what have you done to, you know, combat white supremacy lately?
47:03
And. Like any anyone with their
47:05
fucking iPhone in their pocket is like, hey, come on, you know
47:07
where that shit came from dude. Like what are, what are, what
47:10
are we doing, you know? Yeah.
47:13
I'm just like, you know what? We're only we're not going to be
47:16
here for that long. Death will approach everyone in
47:19
there. Might as well have a laugh and
47:20
that's why Austin Powers age as well.
47:22
To me, it could. It couldn't be made today
47:25
because stuff like this just wouldn't be.
47:27
I don't think it would be funded.
47:29
I don't think that a marketing department at a studio would be
47:32
like, let's let's really put all of our eggs in this basket of
47:36
like this super joke dense stupid movie.
47:40
It's kind of cool though, because it won't be.
47:42
Times are times are changing, times are changing.
47:45
You can take it in your own hands.
47:46
You don't need the studios anymore.
47:48
That's so true. Yeah, Yeah.
47:49
You know what? I think it's going to be the
47:50
next big thing. What?
47:52
Micro dramas on the phone. Micro dramas.
47:55
Yeah, yeah, it's kind of bad, but it's good.
47:58
It's it's just changing. Life is just.
48:00
Yeah. It's changing, you know, I think
48:04
there will be a space for traditional movies, but I I
48:09
think that people are going to like get on these like little
48:12
one to three minute clips of like a 90 minute movie or
48:16
something. Yeah, this next generation, they
48:18
have no fucking attention span. You know, that like I thought
48:21
that I didn't have an attention span.
48:23
Yeah, they they're like. You're like oh they only watch 7
48:27
seconds of this. Yeah, exactly.
48:29
The hook. The hook.
48:31
The hook. Yeah, I put up a video.
48:33
Instagram was like, you need a better hook?
48:35
We analyze this. I'm like, oh geez.
48:38
My God Tik Tok's always getting on me about that fucking hook.
48:42
Nice, you know. What?
48:44
I'm sorry, this is a podcast where we talk and I'm not going
48:47
to insert TikTok speak into everything I say.
48:51
Imagine if I started every sentence with everyone's been
48:54
asking me, or if I started with. You won't believe this.
48:59
Yeah, stop doing this. Yeah, have a baby with an anvil
49:03
over its head and a candle about to like it's about to drop.
49:08
Then start the podcast. Yeah.
49:09
And then you're like, and anyway, so that's about Austin
49:12
Powers. Yeah, exactly so.
49:14
Stupid man. Well, well, what else do we need
49:19
to discuss about Austin Powers? I mean, God, I feel like we've,
49:22
you know, we've gone on some tangents and that's perfectly
49:24
fine because that's what we do here.
49:25
But I think we captured kind of the the the essence of it that
49:31
it's a funny ass movie. Funny ass movie.
49:34
And it. Unlocked my comedy.
49:36
Yeah, unlocked, unlocked your your dancing.
49:41
Your dancing your. Dancing career.
49:44
That's huge. And, you know, I think that,
49:47
like, every time I watch it, I mean, I, you know, ironically,
49:51
as I get older, I find it funnier because I've seen more
49:55
James Bond movies. I feel like I understand, like I
49:58
pick up on different things now than I did when I was a kid.
50:01
Yeah. So I think that watching it last
50:04
night, I laughed way more than I did when I saw it when I was
50:08
like 9, you know, So in that sense, like, it holds up well
50:14
because it just happened to be popular at a time when, like, I
50:19
didn't really get it. And now I really do.
50:22
And so, you know, maybe I'm So what, I'm 30 years late to the
50:26
game. Maybe I've been cryogenically
50:28
frozen that whole time. But like that also, I don't
50:32
know, it just, and now I think also with all the like tech
50:34
billionaires trying to like biohack life and all of the oh,
50:39
God, and like the cryogenic freezing and stuff like that,
50:43
like now it's now it just hits different in like an even more
50:46
ridiculous way. Yeah.
50:48
You know, I got to give it a rewatch.
50:50
Yeah, definitely. But is there anything else that
50:53
we need to discuss that we didn't discuss I.
50:55
Don't know, I got to pee real quick, is that cool?
50:57
Oh, we can just wrap up. Are you sure?
50:59
Yeah. Totally OK everyone.
51:01
Thank you so much for listening Dustin's he's got to go pee.
51:05
Love you all so much. Go follow him on Instagram, see
51:07
his shows and follow us on YouTube, Instagram, TikTok, all
51:12
of that. Dustin, thank you for being.
51:14
Here thanks for having me. You are now dismissed to go
51:16
potty. OK, thank you.
51:17
I'm going to do one of those long Austin Power peas, too.
51:20
You think it's over, but it's not.
