  SPEAKER_02: Welcome to High and Dry.
• 7:31
  SPEAKER_02: And we'd like to ask our guests first why do you think that the people should elect you as the next president of the United States?
• 7:39
  SPEAKER_02: Take your shot.
• 7:40
  SPEAKER_06: While you're listening to the debate, you could check out these dank memes on a slide.

  SPEAKER_02: Why do you think you deserve a second term, Mr.
• 7:49
  SPEAKER_02: President?
• 7:50
  SPEAKER_02: Uh all right, so round three to lofty goals.
• 7:53
  SPEAKER_04: Lofty goals.
• 7:54
  SPEAKER_04: Let's do it.
• 7:55
  SPEAKER_04: I'm glad we're staying really on track so far in this one.
• 7:58
  SPEAKER_04: We're nailing it.
• 8:00
  SPEAKER_04: Only five minutes to get through our shots.
• 8:03
  SPEAKER_02: I will say that uh my headache is gone.
• 8:05
  SPEAKER_04: Congratulations.
• 8:06
  SPEAKER_04: I'm glad.
• 8:07
  SPEAKER_04: So now let's hit it hard.
• 8:09
  SPEAKER_04: Let's get it.
• 8:09
  SPEAKER_04: What is our philosophical question of the day?
• 8:11
  SPEAKER_02: So today we're gonna go with the classic one.
• 8:13
  SPEAKER_02: It's uh we're gonna we're just gonna discuss.
• 8:15
  SPEAKER_02: I would like to um the the classic question of what is stronger in an individual, nature or nurture.
• 8:24
  SPEAKER_02: But I would like to zoom that in a little more closely.
• 8:28
  SPEAKER_02: So let's say you you have a a child who goes off and um is raised with you know the nunnery or wherever away from the family on their own.
• 8:39
  SPEAKER_04: In isolation.
• 8:40
  SPEAKER_02: Yes.
• 8:40
  SPEAKER_02: Meanwhile, they have parents who are monsters.
• 8:44
  SPEAKER_02: Is that child going to be have some part of that monster in them, or is it more likely that the the nurturing going on is that going to change them?
• 8:54
  SPEAKER_02: So that's what I'm asking.
• 8:55
  SPEAKER_02: Uh so what are your thoughts?
• 8:57
  SPEAKER_02: Guests first, Reese, what do you think?
• 8:59
  SPEAKER_02: Nature versus nurture.
• 9:01
  SPEAKER_06: Well, um, I don't think it's that simple.
• 9:05
  SPEAKER_06: Saying that it's a it's a blanket, this will affect you know, even 75% of the population, let alone a hundred, nature is gonna be beat over nurture.
• 9:14
  SPEAKER_06: But you do see some you do see people pull through and become the most generous people on the planet coming from the dirt, you know, from horrible gutter-like conditions.
• 9:26
  SPEAKER_06: But then in those same conditions, you see people like Roger Romero, the uh I believe he was the night stalker, if I'm not mixing up my serial killers.
• 9:36
  SPEAKER_06: Um, you know, he never had a family, and he went and he killed, I think, a dozen women.
• 9:42
  SPEAKER_06: So it it's I don't think it comes down to anything that simple.
• 9:46
  SPEAKER_04: James.
• 9:47
  SPEAKER_04: Uh interesting.
• 9:48
  SPEAKER_04: Uh interesting points, Reese.
• 9:49
  SPEAKER_04: I think uh so I think that it is mostly nurture.
• 9:55
  SPEAKER_04: I think that there are some things you can't control.
• 9:57
  SPEAKER_04: You know, some people have uh uh predisposition to uh a physical condition.
• 10:04
  SPEAKER_04: Physical conditions affect your mental health.
• 10:07
  SPEAKER_04: Um, some people can have a predisposition to a mental illness.
• 10:11
  SPEAKER_04: Um and it's not saying that those people are 100% influenced by the nature that has been you know transferred to them by their parents, but it does, it can have an effect on people.
• 10:24
  SPEAKER_04: And anybody who suffers from like a chronic genetic illness will attest to that, uh how much that affects who you become.
• 10:31
  SPEAKER_04: But those kind of things can be counteracted by nurture.
• 10:34
  SPEAKER_04: And honestly, I think most of our personalities, behaviors are all the products of our environment and how we interact that with it.
• 10:43
  SPEAKER_04: I don't know.
• 10:44
  SPEAKER_04: I think science really backs me up on this from what I've seen.
• 10:47
  SPEAKER_04: You know, I I think a lot of times I don't look into it too much because I'd rather not be told that there would be a reason that we would try to control genetics.
• 10:57
  SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
• 10:57
  SPEAKER_04: Like I I feel like I have to, I feel like I have to believe that it is mostly nurture, but also at the same time, as a man who likes to observe his surroundings, I have found that it is often people's nurture that is the main factor in how they behave.
• 11:14
  SPEAKER_02: Okay.
• 11:14
  SPEAKER_02: Um I I would say I I have no comment whatsoever.
• 11:18
  SPEAKER_02: Moving on, round two.
• 11:20
  SPEAKER_04: Perfect.
• 11:21
  SPEAKER_04: Keeping it short.
• 11:22
  SPEAKER_04: I like it.
• 11:23
  SPEAKER_04: Short and sweet to the point.
• 11:25
  SPEAKER_04: I have no opinions on this whatsoever.
• 11:29
  SPEAKER_02: Um but uh I well for me, I my my question would be like, how do you even determine you know what came like so you're being in the real world where you're not you know pulled into some isolation, some Truman show to be experimented on in the terms of this nature and nurture?
• 11:51
  SPEAKER_02: Like, how do you even determine, you know, like for so for what I'm trying to say is so like I'll I'll look occasionally at a parent, for example, and I'll and I'll see uh a negative behavior that they exhibited, and then I'll notice that sometimes I'll exhibit that same negative behavior, and then I'll ask, like, so is that just my nature to be like that?
• 12:12
  SPEAKER_02: But then I'm like, well, was it their nature?
• 12:14
  SPEAKER_02: Were they nurtured into that behavior?
• 12:16
  SPEAKER_02: And am I now nurtured into that behavior?
• 12:19
  SPEAKER_04: So I guess that's my first thought on just well, what's what even it's it's really difficult because there are people who are who argue for both sides.
• 12:28
  SPEAKER_04: The problems I feel though with people who argue for it being the nature side is they often are trying to make a strong tie because they want to disenfranchise someone.
• 12:40
  SPEAKER_04: Like, like they're specifically like uh criminals have criminal children, yeah and like and uh and then they cite like oh, here's a specific case where this person had a father who was a criminal, and then they became a criminal.
• 12:53
  SPEAKER_04: Well, guess what, motherfucker?
• 12:55
  SPEAKER_04: Like a huge percent of the population has been convicted of a crime.
• 12:58
  SPEAKER_02: That's just like causality, and like are we, you know, research.
• 13:03
  SPEAKER_06: I'm I'm thinking like I I kind of think like way back to the cavemen, you know, if some people were more nurture, some people were a lot more nature, the nature ones they'd probably be a little bit more gunned towards like the the hunting and get uh hunter, you know, class, the warrior class, and then the people with nature that'd be the berry pickers and the scholars and everything like that.
• 13:28
  SPEAKER_06: So I think it it it comes down to like brain hemispheres and everything else, Freud said.
• 13:35
  SPEAKER_02: Well, it sounds like you created a new word for nerds, berry pickers.
• 13:41
  SPEAKER_04: Someone watched someone watched year one recently.
• 13:45
  SPEAKER_06: Actually, yeah, Hulu.
• 13:48
  SPEAKER_04: I knew it.
• 13:49
  SPEAKER_04: I knew you watched that movie because I was like, you said berry picker?
• 13:53
  SPEAKER_04: He he he and man was influenced.
• 13:59
  SPEAKER_00: Well, uh James, do you have any any other thoughts on it?
• 14:03
  SPEAKER_04: My I I don't understand Reese's point.
• 14:10
  SPEAKER_04: I don't I don't totally understand where Reese's coming from, but I I think it would take too long to get into it.
• 14:16
  SPEAKER_04: So I think I'm going to just say even with what I said previously about you know someone's genetic uh pre genetic predispositions to having an illness or possible physical ailment that they they inherited, um, I even even with the adversity that that brings, a lot of people are able to deal with them in a very healthy way.
• 14:37
  SPEAKER_04: And that comes down to nurture.
• 14:40
  SPEAKER_04: I really think that is, I think it's just so obvious that even if you have someone who is messed up, has a predisposition uh to a genetical, a genetic impairment or something like that, or some kind of behavior, nurture is the real key because nurture teaches us how to grow beyond what we are.
• 14:58
  SPEAKER_04: I truly think that's the difference.
• 15:00
  SPEAKER_04: We can grow beyond what we are.
• 15:02
  SPEAKER_04: Definitely.
• 15:03
  SPEAKER_02: No, and I I agree with that entirely.
• 15:05
  SPEAKER_02: Um but I would say, well, no, I don't even think I would say that Nights Tale recently.
• 15:13
  SPEAKER_04: Man, I love that movie.
• 15:18
  SPEAKER_02: William.
• 15:20
  SPEAKER_04: William! The man screamed his own name.
• 15:23
  SPEAKER_04: That was the worst part of that movie.
• 15:24
  SPEAKER_04: It was so weird.
• 15:25
  SPEAKER_04: Like, what?
• 15:26
  SPEAKER_02: I I have like in my biggest moments of tribulation, I'm like, Rahrr!
• 15:35
  SPEAKER_04: Makes me think of that Rick and Morty, the I'm Jerry Smith.
• 15:41
  SPEAKER_06: Yeah, see, it's it it's fine if Heath Ledger does it.
• 15:44
  SPEAKER_06: I do it in the bathroom once, and I'm not allowed to target any.
• 15:50
  SPEAKER_02: I mean, I guess whatever it takes to get it done, whatever it takes, kind of shout your own name.
• 15:59
  SPEAKER_02: Uh I mean I don't know.
• 16:01
  SPEAKER_02: All right, so let's talk about Night's Tale for a minute now.
• 16:05
  SPEAKER_04: Well, it's something that is relevant on that Austin Powers scene with the who does number two work for.
• 16:13
  SPEAKER_02: Well, that I think it's a good segue into the next part of our show.
• 16:18
  SPEAKER_02: Where we're gonna take these two titans of their genre and pin them together.
• 16:23
  SPEAKER_02: Austin Powers versus Pennywise.
• 16:25
  SPEAKER_02: But before we do that, oh shit.
• 16:27
  SPEAKER_02: It's time to get just a little more drunk and just uh a little more high.
• 16:33
  SPEAKER_04: I forgot how powerful this Melon Rick one was.
• 16:36
  SPEAKER_04: I am I'm I'm gonzo.

  SPEAKER_02: The true blood scars guard right now is going, what the fuck?
• 17:52
  SPEAKER_06: I imagine looking like Ben Ben Stiller at the end of uh Dodgeball, all fat with trying to get chicken and stuff.
• 18:02
  SPEAKER_02: Well, I just know if uh any of the Scars Guards come to uh settle this beef.
• 18:07

  SPEAKER_02: Alright, so round one.
• 18:32
  SPEAKER_02: Well, high and dry.
• 18:33
  SPEAKER_02: Um we have a patented method for determining who wins between these two gladiators of high and dry.
• 18:40
  SPEAKER_02: Um, it's a three-round method.
• 18:42
  SPEAKER_02: The winner of two out of three is going to take it.
• 18:45
  SPEAKER_02: First round is uh just a straight up brawl.
• 18:48
  SPEAKER_02: The two characters are tossed in the ring, they have no outside um items, abilities, it's just the two of them facing each other in a basement somewhere while Brad Pitt looks on.
• 19:00
  SPEAKER_02: Uh round two, these guys are hanging out in their apartments when a manila envelope slides under their doors or their sewers and into the drain.
• 19:10
  SPEAKER_02: Just go ahead and slide that into the drain.
• 19:12
  SPEAKER_02: It's like, ooh, a letter from Hindra.
• 19:16
  SPEAKER_06: That's when they have the Mortal Kombat intros.
• 19:20
  SPEAKER_02: And that's when they now have a city in which they're going to fight each other.
• 19:25
  SPEAKER_02: Um, for this one, Austin Powers is gonna go back in time to the 80s um when things stopped being quite so fun.
• 19:33
  SPEAKER_04: He's gonna be international.
• 19:34
  SPEAKER_04: He's going to dairy.
• 19:35
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, he's going to dairy.
• 19:37
  SPEAKER_02: Um and he's gonna bring the swing in the 60s to Derry Maine.
• 19:42
  SPEAKER_04: 1980s Derry Maine.
• 19:47
  SPEAKER_06: A place that truly needed it.
• 19:50
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, they really, really did.
• 19:52
  SPEAKER_02: And then round three.
• 19:57
  SPEAKER_02: Is the same thing, except this time they're bringing a partner, and then we're gonna determine who wins.
• 20:03
  SPEAKER_02: So, round one, these characters have just jumped into the ring.
• 20:07
  SPEAKER_02: They've they've taken off all exterior stuff.
• 20:09
  SPEAKER_02: It's just they take the shirts off, the shoes off, no belts, anything like that.
• 20:14
  SPEAKER_02: Um, Austin even has to take off his necklace.
• 20:17
  SPEAKER_02: Um, and his glasses as well.
• 20:20
  SPEAKER_02: His glasses as well.
• 20:22
  SPEAKER_02: Yep.
• 20:22
  SPEAKER_02: I mean, we had Darth Vader take off his arm.
• 20:25
  SPEAKER_06: Yeah, we had Darth Victor Ascots.
• 20:28
  unknown: Yeah.
• 20:29
  SPEAKER_02: And it's gonna be hilarious to watch.
• 20:31
  SPEAKER_04: It is gonna be pretty funny.
• 20:32
  SPEAKER_02: At one side, it's gonna be terrifying, and the other side it's gonna be hilarious.
• 20:37
  SPEAKER_02: And then the other side is penny wise.
• 20:41
  SPEAKER_02: And then there's pennywise.
• 20:45
  SPEAKER_02: So, the two characters have just jumped into the ring.
• 20:48
  SPEAKER_02: Who's gonna win?
• 20:49
  SPEAKER_02: Reese, initial puns.
• 20:52
  SPEAKER_06: Oh I'm actually gonna go ahead and say uh Austin Powers is my initial.
• 21:01
  SPEAKER_06: Why?
• 21:01
  SPEAKER_06: Why do you say that?
• 21:02
  SPEAKER_06: Because Pennywise has been defeated by children.
• 21:07
  SPEAKER_04: That is true.
• 21:08
  SPEAKER_04: That Pennywise was defeated by children.
• 21:10
  SPEAKER_06: He has been slowed down by a childlike figure.
• 21:15
  SPEAKER_06: Mini me.
• 21:15
  SPEAKER_06: Austin Powers has never been defeated by him, and he could judo chop.
• 21:20
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, the judo chop is a deadly, deadly move.
• 21:24
  SPEAKER_06: Pennywise ain't got no black belt.
• 21:29
  SPEAKER_04: Well, James, initial thoughts.
• 21:31
  SPEAKER_04: So uh I wonder what you're gonna say, Ryan.
• 21:35
  SPEAKER_02: Well, I think that Austin is gonna be tossed around.
• 21:38
  SPEAKER_02: I think his nuts are gonna be stepped on a lot by this spider thing.
• 21:44
  SPEAKER_02: Um, but at the end of the day, Austin will get up and judo chop.
• 21:49
  SPEAKER_04: His judo chop is a one, it's a it's a one-hit knockout.
• 21:53
  SPEAKER_04: Yes.
• 21:54
  SPEAKER_02: Um, but I mean, like Sol Bossa Nova will play while he's getting his nuts stepped on by a space spider.
• 22:02
  SPEAKER_04: Ooh, and he's making faces on every ah Yeah.
• 22:06
  SPEAKER_02: Um, but then I think he'll get up and take him out and then run off to fight Doctor Evil, who released him.
• 22:15
  SPEAKER_04: So I like that.
• 22:17
  SPEAKER_04: I like that you brought up the judo chop.
• 22:19
  SPEAKER_04: Incredibly powerful move by Austin Powers.
• 22:22
  SPEAKER_04: I the only thing I'm concerned about is I actually researched because I this is this is this is an episode that I couldn't wait to research.
• 22:31
  SPEAKER_04: And I watched I got high and I watched Austin Powers.
• 22:35
  SPEAKER_04: And um and there are only I Pennywise.
• 22:40
  SPEAKER_02: I appreciate you doing the footwork on that, man.
• 22:44
  SPEAKER_02: No, no, no, I was getting ready to bring that up as well.
• 22:46
  SPEAKER_02: I'm I'm interested for what you have to say because we we do have to deal with the fact that Pennywise is gonna be shooting Austin's head full of his own nightmares.
• 22:56
  SPEAKER_04: Yes.
• 22:56
  SPEAKER_04: And Austin Powers, according to the first movie, which is the best of the movies, I'm sure that's up for contention, but I sure love the first one.
• 23:05
  SPEAKER_06: I love the first movie.
• 23:06
  SPEAKER_06: I know you do our rush hour cycle.
• 23:09
  SPEAKER_04: But I think the first one was the best, and according to Austin Powers in the first film, he is afraid of only two things nuclear war and circus folk.
• 23:25
  SPEAKER_04: Harnies, you know, circus folk, small hands.
• 23:29
  SPEAKER_04: Those are his only two fucking fears, and he's up against Pennywise, who is a goddamn clown who's manipulates and lives off fear.
• 23:38
  SPEAKER_06: Then wouldn't he just get shot?
• 23:40
  SPEAKER_02: Well, no, because they they can't bring any weapons in.
• 23:42
  SPEAKER_04: No guns.
• 23:44
  SPEAKER_02: He has one hidden.
• 23:46
  SPEAKER_02: But he can't bring it in.
• 23:47
  SPEAKER_02: Um Brad Pitt is thorough.
• 23:50
  SPEAKER_02: He really got he went elbow deep.
• 23:52
  SPEAKER_02: He makes sure that there's no guns up there.
• 23:54
  SPEAKER_02: Like berthing a cow.
• 23:58
  SPEAKER_02: They check it.
• 24:00
  SPEAKER_02: Both Pennywise and Austin had their prostates checked.
• 24:04
  SPEAKER_04: And so it and while Austin behind the curtain style.
• 24:10
  SPEAKER_04: He's like, he's like a god.
• 24:12
  SPEAKER_07: Yeah.
• 24:13
  SPEAKER_04: Uh but so is Pennywise.
• 24:15
  SPEAKER_04: He's also like a god.
• 24:16
  SPEAKER_04: But and that god runs on fear instead of goofiness.
• 24:20
  SPEAKER_02: Well, here's what I will say, however.
• 24:22
  SPEAKER_02: Um, and and this is something that I hate it when writers do this, and you know, I I hate I hate criticizing any writer.
• 24:30
  SPEAKER_02: Um I I don't I don't do it.
• 24:32
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, because who the fuck am I?
• 24:34
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
• 24:34
  SPEAKER_02: Um but everyone's a critic, right?
• 24:36
  SPEAKER_02: But exactly.
• 24:37
  SPEAKER_02: I mean, because all you want like if you're if you're criticizing stuff and you're like you're on a review site talking about this novel or that movie, you're just a jackal pissing on the base of a beautiful, gorgeous pyramid that you will never make one of your own.
• 24:51
  SPEAKER_04: Except for the Skarsguards.
• 24:52
  SPEAKER_04: Fuck those guys.
• 24:53
  SPEAKER_04: Yeah, you all just your work is up and down, okay?
• 24:57
  SPEAKER_02: We haven't even seen that one dude since True Blood.
• 25:00
  SPEAKER_02: Um but take that, people who never did us any harm.
• 25:05
  SPEAKER_02: Well what what I don't care for is when a writer creates a character who's obviously incredibly powerful, but then breaks the own rules, their own rules, so the protagonists can win.
• 25:22
  SPEAKER_02: It it did not make sense that the dairy kids were able to beat it.
• 25:27
  SPEAKER_02: But because that's the way the story had to go, they did out of believing in ourselves and a crowbar.
• 25:34
  SPEAKER_02: Um crowbar mostly.
• 25:37
  SPEAKER_02: Um the giant spider god from Mars should have been able to just slice them all in half and been done with it.
• 25:43
  SPEAKER_07: Yeah.
• 25:43
  SPEAKER_02: And I don't really understand why he did.
• 25:46
  SPEAKER_02: He's cursed by his own hubris.
• 25:49
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
• 25:51
  SPEAKER_06: Well, I think eventually it has never affected Austin.
• 25:54
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, and I think um and and that's important.
• 25:57
  SPEAKER_02: I would also say, like, I mean, Austin, while he is obviously a sex icon, um remember how he redirected his sexiness back on the SpimBots?
• 26:08
  SPEAKER_04: Maybe he would read maybe he would blow blow its mind with his sexiness, or turn the fears back on it.
• 26:15
  SPEAKER_02: Or or Austin realizes that he has to let go of his fear of the carney folk.
• 26:22
  SPEAKER_06: Um which he he would do once Sol Base Anova starts playing.
• 26:27
  unknown: Yeah.
• 26:28
  SPEAKER_02: Well, so I think then what we have to decide is in the small ring where these two creatures, um, one a god of sex and the other a god of fear, are fighting, will Austin have enough time to go through an emotional arc that allows him to defeat it?
• 26:45
  SPEAKER_04: I don't think so.
• 26:46
  SPEAKER_04: I think it gets a historically, I would say yes.
• 26:49
  SPEAKER_04: His his his growth arcs are the are a whole movie.
• 26:52
  SPEAKER_04: Yeah, and this is just all right.
• 26:54
  SPEAKER_02: Well, I think it's time to put it to a vote.
• 26:56
  SPEAKER_02: Um Reese, what's your vote?
• 27:01
  SPEAKER_06: I'm gonna actually I'm gonna be changing a giant spider god from Mars versus a very hairy man.
• 27:09
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, no, it's a good point.
• 27:10
  SPEAKER_02: Well, James?
• 27:11
  SPEAKER_04: I think when they're in the basement together, I don't think Austin has anywhere to go to get away from his fears.
• 27:15
  SPEAKER_04: I think that I think because he's trapped, I gotta give it to it.
• 27:19
  SPEAKER_02: And if I watched this happen, I just don't know how I'd ever be the same again.
• 27:24
  SPEAKER_02: Um I'd seek out the writer and director that wanted to do this fucking smut um and make me watch Austin die.
• 27:39
  SPEAKER_04: Sure, he's goofy, but he's still a person.
• 27:43
  SPEAKER_02: So I think at the end of the day, the spider god from uh you know elsewhere will take it.
• 27:52
  SPEAKER_02: Moving on to round two.
• 27:54
  SPEAKER_02: Um we're just gonna Sorry Austin, we love you.
• 27:57
  SPEAKER_04: We love you more than Pennywise, but yeah, I think you died.
• 28:01
  unknown: Yeah.
• 28:02
  SPEAKER_02: Oh god, that would be like everyone in the theaters at Austin Powers 4.
• 28:07
  SPEAKER_03: Why did they do this?
• 28:15
  SPEAKER_00: The movie's 10 minutes long.
• 28:16
  SPEAKER_04: Oh no.
• 28:18
  SPEAKER_04: Executive produced by spider monster from Mars.
• 28:27
  SPEAKER_04: What the fuck is this?
• 28:29
  SPEAKER_04: We can't even blame anyone.
• 28:30
  SPEAKER_00: He's dead! Mike, why?
• 28:33
  SPEAKER_00: Why'd you read this script and go yoga?
• 28:37
  SPEAKER_06: Why did they call in Jared from Subway for Pennywise?
• 28:43
  SPEAKER_03: They're just like, you know what?
• 28:45
  SPEAKER_03: I hate the fucking film viewers so much.
• 28:49
  SPEAKER_04: Watch one of your idols die.
• 28:51
  SPEAKER_00: From Jared from Subway playing Pennywise.
• 28:55
  SPEAKER_04: We paid that pedophile to be on it in this movie that you're paying for.
• 28:59
  SPEAKER_04: Eat that.
• 29:01
  SPEAKER_03: It's Michael Myers zip tied.
• 29:03
  SPEAKER_03: And we have just you they put the Austin wig on him.
• 29:12
  SPEAKER_00: Oh my god.
• 29:16
  SPEAKER_00: The perfect end and combination of twenty twenty.
• 29:25
  SPEAKER_00: It's too much.
• 29:33
  SPEAKER_00: Jared from Subway.
• 29:44
  SPEAKER_06: If Jared Jared from Subway did play Pennywise, it becomes a clear fat metaphor.
• 29:54
  SPEAKER_06: For Scoutmasters, you know.
• 29:58
  SPEAKER_03: Oh my god.
• 29:59
  SPEAKER_03: Oh my god.
• 30:02
  SPEAKER_03: And Trump's last executive order is to put it in the theaters.
• 30:09
  SPEAKER_00: That'd be huge.
• 30:11
  SPEAKER_04: And then I'm and then I'm and and then we all we all shit on it, and then they're like, everyone's a critic.
• 30:21
  SPEAKER_04: Oh my god.
• 30:23
  SPEAKER_03: Oh, oh Jesus Christ.
• 30:25
  SPEAKER_04: What kind of movies have you put out?
• 30:27
  SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
• 30:28
  SPEAKER_04: How many people have you killed on camera and then forced to watch it?
• 30:33
  SPEAKER_03: You know what?
• 30:34
  SPEAKER_03: Not that one.
• 30:35
  SPEAKER_03: That wasn't me.
• 30:36
  SPEAKER_06: Clockwork orange style.
• 30:39
  unknown: Oh my god.
• 30:42
  SPEAKER_04: Oh fuck.
• 30:43
  SPEAKER_04: Um what what is this pod episode episode about?
• 30:45
  SPEAKER_04: Is it about no, please don't.
• 30:49
  SPEAKER_04: No, we don't.
• 30:50
  SPEAKER_04: Please don't.
• 30:50
  SPEAKER_03: You guys don't have to.
• 30:52
  SPEAKER_03: I need one.
• 30:53
  SPEAKER_03: I'm fucking doing it.
• 30:54
  SPEAKER_04: We we need to do round two.
• 30:56
  SPEAKER_04: We forgot to do round two.
• 30:58
  SPEAKER_03: Yes, I'm having a shot.
• 31:00
  SPEAKER_03: This one's to Michael Myers getting kicked to death by Jared from Sob.
• 31:08
  SPEAKER_03: We got really off track there.
• 31:11
  SPEAKER_02: If this one don't get us a cease and desist, I don't know what will.
• 31:14
  SPEAKER_02: Alright, so round two.
• 31:17
  SPEAKER_02: The characters have now both received a manila envelope.
• 31:20
  SPEAKER_02: Austin got one in the swinging 60s.
• 31:23
  SPEAKER_02: Well, no, he would go to the 90s.
• 31:25
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, he would in that position with did he have well, yeah, yeah.
• 31:28
  SPEAKER_02: So he's in modern day.
• 31:31
  SPEAKER_04: No, he has to go to the 80s to fight.
• 31:33
  SPEAKER_02: Well, but no, I'm saying so.
• 31:34
  SPEAKER_02: Austin is in modern day in his uh his swinger pad.
• 31:38
  SPEAKER_04: Oh, you're you're saying he's a modern man at this point.
• 31:41
  SPEAKER_04: Yes, he's a modern man.
• 31:42
  SPEAKER_04: Okay.
• 31:43
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, and he gets the manila.
• 31:44
  SPEAKER_02: No, Basil shows up, and hello, Austin.
• 31:49
  SPEAKER_02: We need to kill you to kill this god spider.
• 31:54
  SPEAKER_04: It must be Dr.
• 31:56
  SPEAKER_04: Evil.
• 31:57
  SPEAKER_04: No, it's a god spider.
• 31:59
  SPEAKER_02: I can't stress that enough, Austin.
• 32:02
  SPEAKER_02: More than one can.
• 32:04
  SPEAKER_02: I feel like you're not understanding, Austin.
• 32:07
  SPEAKER_02: And so he uh um, so he so he leaves the modern day and goes back to the dystopian eighties.
• 32:16
  SPEAKER_02: And uh to Derry Maine, where he's gonna take care of this spider.
• 32:20
  SPEAKER_02: First thoughts, Reese, who would win?
• 32:22
  SPEAKER_06: I don't know.
• 32:23
  SPEAKER_06: I'm my my gut, my my deep down gut wants Austin to win.
• 32:29
  SPEAKER_06: So I'm trying to find a way to rationalize it.
• 32:32
  SPEAKER_02: Well, then if you if you're trying to rationalize it, I think I think I think you need to.
• 32:36
  SPEAKER_06: I think that's my first thought is that uh as much as I want a judo chop and his and his underwear gun to pull through, I don't think Austin Danger Powers would uh would come away with a W.
• 32:51
  SPEAKER_02: Well, I'm gonna shoot right in here because I got some shit to say.
• 32:53
  SPEAKER_02: Sure, go for it.
• 32:54
  SPEAKER_02: Alright.
• 32:55
  SPEAKER_02: This is when Austin now has the character arc.
• 32:58
  SPEAKER_02: Yes.
• 32:59
  SPEAKER_02: He's in dairy.
• 33:00
  SPEAKER_04: That's what I'm saying.
• 33:01
  SPEAKER_02: He's looking at these people go by.
• 33:02
  SPEAKER_02: He's realizing that swinging has ended, and Reagan's trying to bring, I don't know what he was trying to bring back.
• 33:09
  SPEAKER_02: Um and fascism.
• 33:11
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
• 33:11
  SPEAKER_02: Um and he's he's cruising through dairy.
• 33:14
  SPEAKER_02: He knows he's dealing with a spider carne folk.
• 33:17
  SPEAKER_02: Um he knows that he's gonna have to encounter his own fears.
• 33:20
  SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
• 33:21
  SPEAKER_02: Well, he might not.
• 33:22
  SPEAKER_06: So that's when he's that's when he has the uh like Basil says, Don't forget, all god spiders are are weak to silver in friendship.
• 33:31
  SPEAKER_02: And then he's that's what I'm saying.
• 33:34
  SPEAKER_06: So that I feel that this is where that's Austin Powers, and then he's gonna he's gonna he's gonna bring that one home.
• 33:40
  SPEAKER_02: This is where Austin's character will truly go.
• 33:43
  SPEAKER_02: So in this same scenario, you had a bunch of kids survive it.
• 33:48
  SPEAKER_02: Now, granted, a lot of people do die from it, but Austin ain't just anybody.
• 33:52
  SPEAKER_02: He's the international man of mystery.
• 33:54
  SPEAKER_04: Kids died from it too, right?
• 33:55
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, yeah.
• 33:56
  SPEAKER_02: Um, some kids did.
• 33:57
  SPEAKER_02: Mostly.
• 33:58
  SPEAKER_04: Um, mostly people died from it.
• 34:00
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, mostly you die, but then finally it's the ones who needed a character arc.
• 34:04
  SPEAKER_04: Finally.
• 34:05
  SPEAKER_04: Oh yeah, but needed oh, needed a character arc.
• 34:08
  SPEAKER_04: Oh boy.
• 34:09
  SPEAKER_04: Well, Austin needs a character arc.
• 34:11
  SPEAKER_02: Exactly.
• 34:12
  SPEAKER_02: And Austin is going to have a character arc.
• 34:15
  SPEAKER_02: He's gonna have his character arc.
• 34:17
  SPEAKER_02: He's going to meet the the villain for that first time, and he's gonna come at him as a fear.
• 34:23
  SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
• 34:23
  SPEAKER_02: Which is either nuclear war or carney folk.
• 34:27
  SPEAKER_02: It's a time for both of the things.
• 34:28
  SPEAKER_06: Which seems pretty easy for any wise.
• 34:31
  SPEAKER_04: Nuclear nuclear he was probably afraid of nuclear war.
• 34:34
  SPEAKER_04: It's the Cold War is still going on in the Reagan.
• 34:37
  SPEAKER_02: And this is why I think he'd win at the end, because Austin sees the fear and he's gonna take it head on.
• 34:43
  SPEAKER_02: And he's sure does.
• 34:44
  SPEAKER_02: He's gonna judo chop the shit out of it.
• 34:46
  SPEAKER_01: He is gonna judo chop the shit out of it.

  SPEAKER_04: I d I totally see, uh, you know, I was surprised when he with a nine millimeter in the chest.
• 34:56
  unknown: Yeah.
• 34:57
  SPEAKER_04: I uh I think that um I was surprised at first when Reese said that you know he thought Pennywise would win because I was on the other side, because I think Austin is is gonna get his arc in.
• 35:07
  SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
• 35:07
  SPEAKER_04: Uh, but you know, it was just because of the misunderstanding of the question.
• 35:10
  SPEAKER_04: I think we're all in agreement.
• 35:11
  SPEAKER_04: I think Austin is going to uh he's gonna overcome his fears, he's gonna get a character arc, and he's gonna judo chow the shit out of a space fighter.
• 35:20
  SPEAKER_04: Yeah, I I definitely think so.
• 35:22
  SPEAKER_06: Well, Rick's got a thought.
• 35:24
  SPEAKER_06: No, that's the yeah, basically, um it's uh I uh I'm I I agree with James too.

  SPEAKER_06: I think we're all in agreement.
• 35:34
  SPEAKER_04: I'm it would be hilarious.

  SPEAKER_02: This is when I think he's gonna get you know stomped.
• 35:42
  SPEAKER_02: Like, remember in the it movie, the new one with the scars guard.
• 35:46

• 36:04
  SPEAKER_02: We don't talk about that on Nine Dra.
• 36:06
  SPEAKER_02: Um, but this is where so you if you remember if you remember in the IT movies where the the leper guy was coming at the kid, uh that dude is gonna stomp on Austin's crotch.
• 36:19
  SPEAKER_02: But then he's gonna remember that that's where his underwear gun is.
• 36:24
  SPEAKER_04: He's gonna my idea is he's just gonna judo chop him to death, and it's gonna like all of a sudden it's gonna go out of the it's gonna go out of the cinematic nature of the movie, and then it's just gonna be a static shot of him just like beating the shit out of it.
• 36:41
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, no, no, no.
• 36:43
  SPEAKER_02: Um, and then he's got laser spectacles and shit like that.
• 36:46
  SPEAKER_04: The the the spider just crumples in a mass is on Austin just judo chops him to pieces.
• 36:52
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, I oh well I'm I'm ready to take a vote.
• 36:54
  SPEAKER_02: Um I'm voting for Austin.

  SPEAKER_04: Evil.

  SPEAKER_04: Doctor E this movie's gonna be hilarious.
• 37:57
  SPEAKER_04: But but but Or would it be Michael Cain?
• 37:59
  SPEAKER_04: Uh, you know, I don't think it would be Michael Cain either.
• 38:02
  SPEAKER_04: I think Austin would bring Austin.
• 38:05
  SPEAKER_04: From do you remember when he there were two of him and and he and he and he came in and like I think there would be another Austin and and it would not be expecting that.
• 38:18
  SPEAKER_02: Like, well, who's it gonna bring?
• 38:20
  SPEAKER_04: Uh it's gonna bring that kid on the bike who's with the knife.
• 38:25
  SPEAKER_02: Well, I was thinking he was gonna bring the woman from misery.
• 38:28
  SPEAKER_02: Oh, you th oh oh no, you can't bring other Stephen King characters.
• 38:32
  SPEAKER_02: I think that's what that's what it has.
• 38:34
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, that's what it has.
• 38:35
  SPEAKER_02: I think it is going to bring it has his own story.
• 38:40
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, yeah.
• 38:41
  SPEAKER_02: They all have their own story.
• 38:43
  SPEAKER_04: Yeah, but we are not like we can't say Austin, well we can't say Austin Powers can bring in Shrek.
• 38:48
  SPEAKER_02: Well, no, but what we can say is it's a shared universe.
• 38:53
  SPEAKER_02: Within the Stephen King universe, um within it, they mention um Pet Cemetery.
• 39:01
  SPEAKER_02: They mention Cujo.
• 39:02
  SPEAKER_02: I didn't realize and within Pet Cemetery and Cujo, they mention the shining and they mention misery.
• 39:09
  SPEAKER_02: Oh my god.
• 39:11
  SPEAKER_06: Um great marketing, Stephen, truly.
• 39:15
  SPEAKER_02: Oh, yeah.
• 39:15
  SPEAKER_02: No, you know.
• 39:16
  SPEAKER_04: Shared universe.
• 39:17
  SPEAKER_04: Uh, I didn't think about that.
• 39:17
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, now there is the show Castle Rock on Hulu, which we're still insurpics coming back, in which all his universes are connected, but that is not considered canon canon.
• 39:29
  SPEAKER_04: Nerd.
• 39:29
  SPEAKER_04: No, I'm just kidding.
• 39:32
  SPEAKER_04: No, you're you're still right, but so which so which Stephen King thing would he bring in?
• 39:39
  SPEAKER_04: You think misery?
• 39:40
  SPEAKER_02: No, no, I was just being funny.
• 39:42
  SPEAKER_02: Um I would because just because I would love to uh what's that actress's name?
• 39:46
  SPEAKER_02: Kathy Bates.
• 39:47
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, I would love to see Kathy Bates fight Austin Powers.
• 39:50
  SPEAKER_04: I would love to watch that too.
• 39:52
  SPEAKER_04: I would fucking love to watch Kathy Bates fight Austin Power.
• 39:57
  SPEAKER_02: I think that'd be the greatest thing ever filmed.
• 40:00
  SPEAKER_04: 80s Kathy Bates versus Austin Powers.
• 40:04
  SPEAKER_02: And after we watch Jared from Subway kick him to death, I would need that as a chaser.
• 40:11
  SPEAKER_04: Oh man.
• 40:11
  SPEAKER_06: Oh, yeah, definitely.
• 40:13
  SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
• 40:13
  SPEAKER_04: Um so who would it bring?
• 40:15
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, it I think it would bring Kujo.
• 40:22
  SPEAKER_04: That's an interesting Christine.
• 40:27
  SPEAKER_04: Oh, I didn't hear you.
• 40:28
  SPEAKER_04: I'm sorry.
• 40:29
  SPEAKER_02: Well, no, no, I I'll take that back.
• 40:31
  SPEAKER_02: So because uh because the shining is involved, that means that um the second shining, the sequel, um Dr.
• 40:41
  SPEAKER_02: Sleep, is also part of it.
• 40:43
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
• 40:44
  SPEAKER_02: I would say that it brings the hotel demon of the Shining.
• 40:49
  SPEAKER_02: However, no, he wouldn't be able to.
• 40:50
  SPEAKER_04: You'd have to lure Austin Powers to the hotel.
• 40:52
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, you'd have to lose Austin Powers to the hotel.
• 40:54
  SPEAKER_02: He would do it.
• 40:55
  SPEAKER_06: I mean, that shouldn't be too difficult.
• 40:58
  SPEAKER_04: It's not gonna be difficult at all to get Austin Powers to the Overlook Hotel.
• 41:02
  SPEAKER_02: So you gotta convince him that there's a swinger party.
• 41:05
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
• 41:06
  SPEAKER_04: He would totally go, but you know that that fight would be so fucking funny in that hotel.
• 41:12
  SPEAKER_04: He would have it would be fucking hilarious.
• 41:14
  SPEAKER_02: I just want to say this to whoever's listening to this whenever.
• 41:19
  SPEAKER_02: Um, if there's ever a movie where two Austin Powerses are lured to the Overlook Hotel to fight demons in Pennywise, I expect a cut.
• 41:32
  SPEAKER_04: It's too good of an idea to not make that movie.
• 41:35
  SPEAKER_02: That's the greatest movie I've ever heard of.
• 41:38
  SPEAKER_04: He would go into the room where they're where that bunny's fucking, and then he'd be like, oh, can I get in on this?
• 41:45
  SPEAKER_04: Or when the blood comes, he's just like, oh.
• 41:49
  SPEAKER_04: And then he fixes his glasses that are all aukey.
• 41:56
  SPEAKER_02: So, alright, so now in round three, Austin and Austin have arrived at the Overlook Hotel.
• 42:02
  SPEAKER_01: It's Austin and Austin.
• 42:04
  SPEAKER_02: Have arrived at the Overlook Hotel where a Mars spider is rolling around and the demon of the hotel.
• 42:11
  SPEAKER_02: Who's gonna take it?
• 42:12
  SPEAKER_02: Race your thoughts.
• 42:14
  SPEAKER_06: No, I've never seen Doctor Sleep.
• 42:17
  SPEAKER_06: Um, the demon of the hotel.
• 42:19
  SPEAKER_06: She that's that uh that really uh kind of siren woman, right?
• 42:25
  SPEAKER_02: No, no, so what would it become essential, and it's it's pretty much touched on in The Shining, um, as Jack Torrance is taken over, is that the hotel itself is is starting to you know do this to him.
• 42:41
  SPEAKER_02: Um in the book, and it's something that you don't see in the movie, um, it was originally supposed to be a story just about how Jack Torrance, the father, um, was failing as a father and he was falling to alcoholism, and that was something that was mirroring Stephen King at the time.
• 42:57
  SPEAKER_02: And it was supposed to be him eventually sacrificing himself so his family could get out.
• 43:03
  SPEAKER_02: And it was supposed to be that didn't happen.
• 43:08
  SPEAKER_02: It didn't show that in the Shining movie, and that's why Stephen King had such a problem with the Shining for such a long time.
• 43:14
  SPEAKER_07: Yeah.
• 43:14
  SPEAKER_02: Um, and I think this is also the first time on this show where you can see where my nerdnum lies.
• 43:20
  SPEAKER_04: Yeah, you fucking nerd.
• 43:22
  SPEAKER_04: It's in horror, horror literature.
• 43:24
  SPEAKER_04: Um you're like me on the Achilles.
• 43:27
  SPEAKER_06: Oh no, then this is this is an easy win.
• 43:29
  SPEAKER_06: This is an easy win.
• 43:31
  SPEAKER_06: Okay, simple.
• 43:33
  SPEAKER_06: Pennywise tries using the fears on the main Austin powers, and he's scared of nuclear war and carney folk.
• 43:42
  SPEAKER_06: Second Austin.
• 43:44
  SPEAKER_06: Second Austin says, Hey, I'm from the future, nuclear war doesn't happen.
• 43:49
  SPEAKER_06: And then Judo chops the spider.
• 43:51
  SPEAKER_06: Main Austin hits the self-destruct button on the hotel.
• 43:57
  SPEAKER_02: Which is what eventually his son does.
• 44:00
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
• 44:01
  SPEAKER_06: Um yeah, I think that's also the hotel would be replaced by Scott for Pennywise, just as he's trying to get back at his dad.
• 44:11
  SPEAKER_07: Scott.
• 44:15
  SPEAKER_02: Um interesting.
• 44:16
  SPEAKER_02: And then we find out that Dr.
• 44:18
  SPEAKER_02: Evil actually owns the land.
• 44:21
  SPEAKER_04: Oh, yes, that was my hotel.
• 44:24
  SPEAKER_02: Stephen King right now is listening, just going, these sons of business burning notes.
• 44:36
  SPEAKER_02: Interesting.
• 44:36
  SPEAKER_02: James, any thoughts?
• 44:38
  SPEAKER_04: My thoughts are that the Austins hilariously like in the funny, they take on these like horrifying things in the funniest way you could possibly imagine.
• 44:48
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
• 44:48
  SPEAKER_02: No, and and Pennywise is totally taken back by there's two of them.
• 44:54
  SPEAKER_04: I never saw it coming.
• 44:56
  SPEAKER_04: This Mars monster is outclassed by two of the same person.
• 45:00
  SPEAKER_02: Now, well, so my only question, the final question I'd like to ask before we bring it to a vote, so the hotel eventually um possesses people.
• 45:11
  SPEAKER_02: Do you think one of the Austins will be possessed?
• 45:14
  SPEAKER_04: Yeah, but I think that while he's possessed, uh the house will Austin will start to control the house with his personality.
• 45:25
  SPEAKER_04: No, no, it won't be his personality.
• 45:27
  SPEAKER_04: It'll be his sensuality.
• 45:28
  SPEAKER_04: Yes, it'll it'll well that that's very sexual.
• 45:35
  SPEAKER_04: Yeah, he seduces the overlook and then has the overlook turn on pennywise.
• 45:43
  SPEAKER_02: Because the last time someone tried to take over Austin's mind, he seduced.
• 45:48
  SPEAKER_04: That's true.
• 45:49
  SPEAKER_04: He made all their heads explode.
• 45:51
  SPEAKER_02: Well, I'm ready to bring it to a vote.
• 45:53
  SPEAKER_02: Race thoughts.
• 45:55
  SPEAKER_06: Market Thatcher naked.
• 46:00
  SPEAKER_02: And I'm assuming that's a vote for Austin.
• 46:05
  SPEAKER_06: I think that I think that would scare Pennywise himself.
• 46:08
  SPEAKER_00: My vote on you want to get into mine.
• 46:15
  SPEAKER_04: A bunch of children.
• 46:16
  SPEAKER_04: A bunch of children.
• 46:18
  SPEAKER_04: Are you scared?
• 46:19
  SPEAKER_04: Are you scared?
• 46:20
  SPEAKER_04: There's a group of strong-hearted children.
• 46:25
  SPEAKER_02: Someone's getting seduced, also.
• 46:27
  SPEAKER_00: So well, Austin?
• 46:30
  unknown: Yes.
• 46:30
  SPEAKER_02: Your votes for Austin then?
• 46:32
  SPEAKER_02: Or Margaret Thatcher?
• 46:33
  SPEAKER_06: Uh I've I'm giving it to the Thatch.
• 46:37
  SPEAKER_02: The Thatch back.
• 46:40
  SPEAKER_06: Definitely, definitely Austin Danger Powers.
• 46:44
  SPEAKER_02: James, vote.
• 46:45
  SPEAKER_02: Oh yeah, Austin Powers.
• 46:47
  SPEAKER_02: It's unanimous.
• 46:48
  SPEAKER_02: I'm definitely going to Austin Powers.
• 46:49
  SPEAKER_02: It'll be the greatest movie I have ever seen.
• 46:53
  SPEAKER_04: It would be.
• 46:54
  SPEAKER_04: It would be fantastic.
• 46:55
  SPEAKER_02: I hope that Michael Myers comes back for Austin Powers 4.
• 46:59
  SPEAKER_04: You say that, but he he would ruin it.
• 47:01
  SPEAKER_04: We need Austin Powers to come back, not Michael Myers.
• 47:05
  SPEAKER_04: Not anybody else involved.
• 47:06
  SPEAKER_04: We need the actual characters and who they are.
• 47:09
  SPEAKER_02: What would ruin it is in Austin Powers 3, where Hollywood got involved, Tom Cruise got involved, they all of a sudden realize that this thing's making money.
• 47:18
  SPEAKER_06: Yeah.
• 47:19
  SPEAKER_06: What it needs to be.
• 47:21
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, what it needs to be is the high and dry guys knocking on Michael Myers' door and like, look, check this out.
• 47:30
  SPEAKER_04: You're gonna fund it.
• 47:31
  SPEAKER_04: You're gonna fund it with your own money.
• 47:33
  SPEAKER_04: Nobody's gonna see it.
• 47:35
  SPEAKER_04: It's gonna be great.
• 47:36
  SPEAKER_02: And like when it's completely ours and no one else's, there's no producer showing up.
• 47:42
  SPEAKER_02: There's no producer showing up in Justice League in it.
• 47:45
  SPEAKER_04: We're like, How could he resist this pitch?
• 47:49
  SPEAKER_02: Um Michael Myers, uh, I hope we get a call.
• 47:53
  SPEAKER_02: So let's make it happen, Michael Myers.
• 47:56
  SPEAKER_02: Um, yeah.
