  SPEAKER_09: Professor Neil Peart.
• 24:36
  SPEAKER_09: Um, on a related topic, because I mean we were talking about Rush, and Rush is is definitely tied to uh Bob and Doug Mackenzie, Strange Brew.
• 24:47
  SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
• 24:47
  SPEAKER_09: Right.
• 24:48
  SPEAKER_09: Um, and we were just talking about them just briefly a second ago.
• 24:51
  SPEAKER_09: Uh I came across this article on ultimate classicrock.com.
• 24:55
  SPEAKER_09: Did you know that there was almost a sequel to Strange Brew?
• 25:00
  SPEAKER_06: Really?
• 25:00
  SPEAKER_09: Yes.
• 25:01
  SPEAKER_09: No, I didn't know that.
• 25:02
  SPEAKER_09: Yes.
• 25:02
  SPEAKER_09: Um first let me get to some of this uh article here.
• 25:07
  SPEAKER_09: Um so we know we all know about uh what Strange Brew is.
• 25:11
  SPEAKER_09: Actually, maybe we don't.
• 25:13
  SPEAKER_09: I don't know.
• 25:13
  SPEAKER_09: Um I wonder what this I I don't know if I've seen the trailer.
• 25:17
  SPEAKER_09: I wonder if I'm gonna play the trailer just to see it.
• 25:19
  SPEAKER_06: Play the trailer just to see what it does.
• 25:23
  SPEAKER_01: Somewhere behind granite battlements, beyond impenetrable gates.
• 25:33
  SPEAKER_01: Indoors, something evil is brewing, and it isn't Elsinore Pierre.
• 25:43
  SPEAKER_01: Here, an unsuspecting heiress has become the innocent pawn of a diabolical genius at his command.
• 26:01
  SPEAKER_01: At his fingertips, lots of being one test.
• 26:06
  SPEAKER_01: Then we are ready for the work.
• 26:09
  SPEAKER_01: What fool dose and his way to the deck of it?
• 26:20
  SPEAKER_01: Welcome to the screen white screen of the adventures of the ducky street company.
• 27:53
  SPEAKER_00: You hold that they wanted to see our movie now the man take it.
• 27:56
  SPEAKER_00: It's only a preview, eh?
• 27:58
  SPEAKER_00: I didn't want to show them the best part.
• 28:01
  SPEAKER_00: Okay, so that's a good one.
• 28:03
  SPEAKER_09: Oh, we gotta watch that again.
• 28:05
  SPEAKER_09: We gotta watch that.
• 28:06
  SPEAKER_09: Um so so if you don't know, that's the Dave Thomas and Rick Moranis.
• 28:13
  SPEAKER_09: Uh they were SCTV, and they had these characters um and decided to make a movie out of them.
• 28:20
  SPEAKER_09: And and we've told this story before, but that's where you got your name.
• 28:23
  SPEAKER_09: Yeah.
• 28:23
  SPEAKER_09: Uh because I had two friends, uh just two.
• 28:27
  SPEAKER_09: Only two friends in the whole world.
• 28:30
  SPEAKER_09: Yeah.
• 28:30
  SPEAKER_09: And they were both named I can say this, right?
• 28:32
  SPEAKER_09: Yeah.
• 28:33
  SPEAKER_09: Otherwise it won't make any sense.
• 28:34
  SPEAKER_09: Right.
• 28:35
  SPEAKER_09: They were both named Chris.
• 28:35
  SPEAKER_09: Yeah.
• 28:36
  SPEAKER_09: So your real name is Chris.
• 28:37
  SPEAKER_09: Right.
• 28:37
  SPEAKER_09: Your mother still calls you Christopher.
• 28:39
  SPEAKER_09: She does.
• 28:40
  SPEAKER_09: Um because she's my mom.
• 28:42
  SPEAKER_09: And so so I think I said one day, and I said, All right, that's it.
• 28:46
  SPEAKER_09: Uh I'm tired of, you know, I'm I'm gonna call you Bob and you Doug.
• 28:49
  SPEAKER_09: That's it.
• 28:50
  SPEAKER_09: From now on, you're Bob and Doug.
• 28:51
  SPEAKER_09: And it stuck.
• 28:53
  SPEAKER_09: Uh, more so for you than anybody else because you use it in public.
• 28:57
  SPEAKER_06: Yeah, literally people.
• 28:58
  SPEAKER_06: There there are people that still don't know my real name.
• 29:01
  SPEAKER_09: Right, exactly.
• 29:02
  SPEAKER_09: So um so this article, it says Dave Thomas uh was was joking when he said there were some uh full frontal nudity scenes that Rick and I did just for the hell of it, uh that were deleted by MGM.
• 29:15
  SPEAKER_09: Obviously that was a joke.
• 29:17
  SPEAKER_09: But in two th May of 2000, uh in a different interview, he said that much of what fans have grown to love about Strange Brew, and I believe this, wasn't even in the initial script.
• 29:29
  SPEAKER_09: They probably improvised it.
• 29:31
  SPEAKER_06: Oh, probably, yeah.
• 29:32
  SPEAKER_06: I would believe that.
• 29:33
  SPEAKER_09: Um Dave Thomas and Rick Moranis, Boba Doug were under the mistaken impression they would get sued by the executive producer of SCTV if they had anything to do with writing the script due to the exclusivity of their contracts.
• 29:46
  SPEAKER_09: So they were under a contract by SCTV where the characters were created.
• 29:51
  SPEAKER_09: Right.
• 29:51
  SPEAKER_09: So they couldn't write the script.
• 29:55
  SPEAKER_09: Um but after initially hiring another writer to do the job, they realized only they could truly bring the characters to life properly and began ttinkering with the script.
• 30:05
  SPEAKER_09: Uh he says we didn't know how much we could rewrite without undoing the deal.
• 30:11
  SPEAKER_09: Little did we know that we could have totally rewritten the whole thing and they never would have known because they didn't read the script at all.
• 30:19
  SPEAKER_09: Um He ended up rewriting the first half of the movie, which begins at the um uh McGenzi Brothers cheaply made post-apocalyptic movie Mutants of 2051 AD.
• 30:29
  SPEAKER_09: And I was uh as I was watching that trailer, do you remember where Rick Moranes picks up the statue?
• 30:34
  SPEAKER_09: He's on like the beach or something or on the in the Statue of Liberty.
• 30:38
  SPEAKER_07: I forgot about that part.
• 30:39
  SPEAKER_06: You know, don't you remember he's like stand there and you can because Doug's behind the camera, you can hear him go out.
• 30:51
  SPEAKER_09: Statue of Liberty I completely forgot about that.
• 30:57
  SPEAKER_09: Um so after the film real breaks and an angry crowd, that's all the beginning of the movie.
• 31:02
  SPEAKER_09: Don't I'm not gonna spoil it for you.
• 31:04
  SPEAKER_09: Um But Dave Thomas said the script was far more bizarre and conceptual in the beginning than it ended up being at the end.
• 31:11
  SPEAKER_09: If we had been able to rewrite the whole thing, we would have made the whole thing like that, probably, but we weren't sure how far we could go with the studio.
• 31:18
  SPEAKER_09: Now he said that uh he and and Rick Moranis and another guy from SCTV, Paul Flaherty, had written the script for Homebrew, which was the sequel to Strange Brew.
• 31:32
  SPEAKER_09: He says, We didn't try to project Bob and Doug as the youthful characters that could stop the Take Over the World plot.
• 31:38
  SPEAKER_09: This was a script about a bunch of old losers, of which Bob and Doug, number two, quite prominently.
• 31:45
  SPEAKER_09: Uh, we tried to place them in their right age range, stupid but old, and still losers.
• 31:52
  SPEAKER_09: So this is in a 2012 interview.
• 31:54
  SPEAKER_09: So they were going to do a movie, a sequel of Bob and Doug, older.
• 32:00
  SPEAKER_09: Oh yeah.
• 32:01
  SPEAKER_09: Can you imagine funny with a dad?
• 32:04
  SPEAKER_09: Can you imagine?
• 32:05
  SPEAKER_09: That would have been amazing.
• 32:06
  SPEAKER_09: He says, Unfortunately, the financing for the movie fell through shortly before filming was set to begin, leaving Thomas holding the bag.
• 32:11
  SPEAKER_09: He said, I financed most of the pre-production and ended up losing about$750,000.
• 32:16
  SPEAKER_09: Holy.
• 32:17
  SPEAKER_09: Not only did I not get paid, I lost money on that one.
• 32:20
  SPEAKER_09: So when asked in that now decade-old interview if he and Mirandis would still be up for making home brew, if financing could be secured, he said it depends on how long it takes.
• 32:29
  SPEAKER_09: There will be a point where we'll be too old to even think about doing this.
• 32:32
  SPEAKER_09: When we looked at the um remember the late 90s Molson beer commercials that they did?
• 32:37
  SPEAKER_09: Yeah.
• 32:37
  SPEAKER_09: Uh when we looked at those commercials that came out, we thought, okay, we're older, but we don't really look that bad.
• 32:42
  SPEAKER_09: It's not like two bald guys with canes coming out trying to revive their old careers.
• 32:47
  SPEAKER_09: And there was something perverse about waiting that long to reappear that we kind of liked too, you know.
• 32:53
  SPEAKER_09: And you know, and and we mentioned the the Disney movie Brother Bear, where they were the moose.
• 32:58
  SPEAKER_09: Yeah.
• 32:59
  SPEAKER_09: That's the right way to do it.
• 33:01
  SPEAKER_09: You know, like you had this this uh Strange Brew movie, which is a cult classic now.
• 33:07
  SPEAKER_09: Oh yeah.
• 33:07
  SPEAKER_09: Um, and that's and that's all they did.
• 33:10
  SPEAKER_09: I mean they they they did the show, the SC TV show, but then they made a movie, and then it was done.
• 33:15
  SPEAKER_09: And then they were done.
• 33:16
  SPEAKER_09: Yeah.
• 33:17
  SPEAKER_09: Right?
• 33:17
  SPEAKER_09: And then years later, like decades later, was it decades?
• 33:22
  SPEAKER_09: Yeah.
• 33:22
  SPEAKER_09: Oh yeah.
• 33:22
  SPEAKER_09: A couple decades anyway.
• 33:24
  SPEAKER_09: A couple.
• 33:24
  SPEAKER_09: Yeah.
• 33:24
  SPEAKER_09: When Brother Bear came out, I think um Brother Bear must have been in the early 2000s or mid-2000s.
• 33:29
  SPEAKER_09: I wanna mid-2000s.
• 33:30
  SPEAKER_09: I don't yeah, I don't remember.
• 33:32
  SPEAKER_09: But all of a sudden you see these moose, and it's Bob and Doug Mackenzie.
• 33:39
  SPEAKER_09: That was the perfect way to do it.
• 33:40
  SPEAKER_09: And then the late 90s Molson beer commercials, of course.
• 33:43
  SPEAKER_09: Yeah.
• 33:43
  SPEAKER_09: Brother Bear was 2003.
• 33:45
  SPEAKER_09: Oh, yeah.
• 33:46
  SPEAKER_09: It was after the Molson beer.
• 33:48
  SPEAKER_09: Yeah.
• 33:49
  SPEAKER_09: Um But yeah, can you imagine?
• 33:51
  SPEAKER_09: Man, Brother Bear's that old?
• 33:52
  SPEAKER_09: Yeah.
• 33:53
  SPEAKER_09: Wow.
• 33:53
  SPEAKER_09: Yeah, apparently.
• 33:54
  SPEAKER_09: Man, that's crazy.
• 33:55
  SPEAKER_09: Uh, can you imagine if if they had done Oh, you know we would have been there.
• 33:59
  SPEAKER_09: Oh, are you are you kidding me?
• 34:00
  SPEAKER_06: We would have bought the theater out just so we could just the three of us could have just watched after the show.
• 34:04
  SPEAKER_06: Oh yeah.
• 34:05
  SPEAKER_06: Easily.
• 34:05
  SPEAKER_06: So, yeah.
• 34:06
  SPEAKER_09: Easily.
• 34:06
  SPEAKER_09: So I just thought that was kind of a I had read that and I meant to to bring it up on a podcast before, but since you were talking about Rush and then we got into Bob and Doug, I figured I'd Well, you know, they did you know, he did that song with Bob and Doug.
• 34:18
  SPEAKER_09: Yes, take off.
• 34:18
  SPEAKER_06: Take off.
• 34:19
  SPEAKER_02: Take off Take Off the Great Wild North.
• 34:23
  SPEAKER_09: Rick Moranis, though, and that character.
• 34:26
  SPEAKER_09: Unbelievable.
• 34:27
  SPEAKER_09: Both of them, really.
• 34:28
  SPEAKER_02: I mean Statue Liberty.
• 34:30
  SPEAKER_08: Not there, eh?
• 34:31
  SPEAKER_08: Not there.

  SPEAKER_08: How about there?
• 34:33
  SPEAKER_08: Oh, well, that feels good.
• 34:35
  SPEAKER_06: I love it when they're playing hockey and and Doug's the goalie.
• 34:39
  SPEAKER_06: He's like, he lifts up his mouth.
• 34:41
  unknown: Where's the buck?
• 34:47
  SPEAKER_09: Uh if you have not seen strange brew.
• 34:48
  SPEAKER_06: No goal! No goal! They was in the crease, eh?
• 34:52

  SPEAKER_06: Yeah, just you have to really turn off your brain.
• 34:59
  SPEAKER_09: And do yourself a favor.
