[00:00:56] Frank: No. Too much. It's too similar to what's going on out there.

[00:01:02] Scott: so fucking riddled with story problems. It's ridiculous. You may have to do that when a A few years have gone by and the dust settles.

[00:01:16] Scott: get it in there.

[00:01:27] Frank: terrible. Did you watch anything else? Crazy?

[00:01:39] Scott: It's been a very busy period of transition in my life and I am finally wearing different kinds of underwear every day. Oh. Uh. No. It's a metaphor. Like briefs to

[00:01:57] Scott: Yeah. No. Bikinis. Uh uh. Thongs. Doodads and willy wops.

[00:02:07] Scott: No, not really. Let those white legs shine. Same underwear every time.

[00:02:23] Scott: start watchin that Netflix series, Bodies.

[00:02:28] Frank: Yeah. I didn't get to that. I'll tell ya, I did watch Old Dads. Cuz, you know, I love Bill Burr. I told Olympia to watch it, and I told her that would help her understand me a little bit more. I mean, she understands me plenty, but I'm like, you watched this movie? And like, yeah, you know, he's a little bit older.

[00:02:59] Frank: Superman, Suicide Squad, Wonder Woman, Necessary Roughness, The Wolfman, Leave the World Behind, Hell Camp, Team Nightmare, Justice League, I watched Chernobyl like three or four times, I don't know, I've got a problem, um, Jurassic Park, the first one, here's the weird thing, I started getting into older movies, it all started with Blazing Saddles, went from Blazing Saddles to High Plains Drifter to Death Wish, yes, High Plains Drifter, whoa, Clint Eastwood, whoa, I don't care if you're a spirit, back for revenge.

[00:03:42] Scott: I can't believe I've never said that to you. Jeff Goldblum is the rapist from fucking Death Wish. Well, I mean,

[00:03:48] Scott: he's creepy as fuck, too. Super

[00:03:55] Frank: He's got that

[00:03:56] Frank: smile. He does. And just the long fingers. Definitely rapey fingers. Sorry, it's not funny. Um, and then we did start Walking Dead again, because I want to finish the original series. I was a diehard fan for years. Just Walking Dead. Even went to a Walker Stalker con. The main show has been over.

[00:04:21] Scott: crazy or what? No. Do you wear long socks a lot? Most of the time. I love ankle socks. But I wear pants. All the time. I wear ankle socks with pants.

[00:04:33] Frank: True. Nice little asterisk. Um, but yeah. I need to stop watching Chernobyl. I don't know. It's depressing but it's, I don't know, just so well done. I've got a problem.

[00:04:47] Frank: But um, I mean it's been a while.

[00:04:51] Scott: jobs for me. There you go. It's uh, fun and cold. It's cold as fuck in Texas. For Texas. Yeah. Today is the first day it's really that cold though. Yeah.

[00:05:09] Scott: place Kelly's been watching fucking friends, and I actually like ended up what like getting sucked into it a couple times Mm hmm very enjoyable smelly cat.

[00:05:25] Frank: well. Yeah, I mean I stopped like 98

[00:05:34] Frank: my house We watched it It was like a ritual. It was part of the evening, you know, sitcom ritual.

[00:05:50] Scott: Did you like 2023? Was 2023 very good for

[00:05:59] Scott: It was fine. It's hard at the beginning and it got better.

finish.

[00:06:12] Scott: Started out. Not as good. Came out at 2022. I don't think there's been very many good years in a while. The bar is

[00:06:23] Frank: So, I mean, it was like my, the end of my first year back in the building. It was a

[00:06:32] Frank: I don't know, man. I think they're going by really fast. Seems like just yesterday.

[00:06:41] Frank: been a whole year since I went to Hawaii.

[00:06:49] Frank: Remember that's why we went it was

[00:07:06] Frank: in my life.

[00:07:13] Scott: with this one. I don't know. I want to keep that one rolling around.

[00:07:21] Scott: Uncle Peckerhead. Uncle Peckerhead. It was a good pick. It was. Cause I, I brought the other movie up and then you were like, well, that would, let's do this one.

[00:07:34] Scott: good trailer too.

[00:07:38] Scott: a certain kind of quality that I used to look for in movies more often.

[00:07:45] Frank: At the beginning, I was like, I was worried for a hot

[00:07:59] Frank: shit. Yeah, and I and this one had never popped up in anything recommended for me.

[00:08:04] Scott: prime isn't the one I go back to as much. I feel like I go to the niche things too often.

[00:08:19] Scott: get in there. Yeah, that's the thing is it's overwhelming

[00:08:30] Frank: Don't watch it again something new

[00:08:53] Scott: Was

[00:08:56] Scott: Uh, I mean, that was pretty accurate as far as like a tour goes. Yeah. You know what I mean? Yeah. I like to see stuff written about tour, you know, bands touring and like from the perspective of like just these fucking Kids that are in a van, like, going city to city, like, trying to get enough money to keep moving, and not playing for anyone and getting like eight bucks, you know.

[00:09:26] Frank: But most people don't get a ride from someone like Uncle

[00:09:32] Frank: a good one, and I watched it a good time. I feel like it's kind of like what I needed for

[00:09:37] Scott: When punk rock three piece Duh, Judy, Max, and Mel quit their jobs to tour around the state of Pennsylvania, their dreams are derailed by the repossession of their minivan. So they do what any good punk band does and wander around asking people if they can borrow their vans. And they were like putting flyers up.

[00:09:54] Frank: made flyers. They were handing them out. Soliciting. Soliciting.

[00:09:59] Frank: Fuck your flyer. I'm sorry.

[00:10:15] Scott: It was very random. He claims he sedates himself with the heroin that they find in the glove box. Is it heroin?

[00:10:24] Scott: leather cases for their heroin? I thought it was insulin. Could have been. Or placebo. That would

[00:10:35] Frank: What

[00:10:43] Frank: But like, they can't talk. Yeah, I got

[00:10:47] Frank: They're just in zombie mode already. Drag that leg.

[00:11:07] Frank: Yeah, I mean, it didn't, I don't feel like any of them were gonna bust for

[00:11:16] Scott: And generally, he's kind of a sweet

[00:11:27] Scott: so cool. In general, was like the kind of guy you wanted to be? You're like roadie and you're merch guy? Yeah,

[00:11:33] Frank: Seemed like a real like can do type of dude. Yeah, for sure. He was down to do whatever, man. Uncle Peckerhead was written and directed by Matthew John Lawrence and was released in the year that didn't happen. 2020. I mean, fucking true story. Uh, while we could find very little to no info about the release of this movie, we know it has 18 reviews that add up to a tomato meter score of 96%, and that given what kind of movie it is, a horror comedy with a micro budget, the 68 percent audience score and the 5.

[00:12:24] Frank: It's not floating around like everybody else. Goddammit,

[00:12:29] Frank: Cardellini got it. I'm gonna be like, yeah. Oh, I knew it. I fucking knew it I knew that's who you were fucking talking about the back of my head fucking freaks and geeks fucking bloodlines everything else Oh daddy's home.

[00:12:54] Scott: I don't know what happened to my copy of it. Otherwise, I'd watch it again. Probably frequently.

[00:13:00] Frank: watched a clip from an interview where Nick Sorensen talks about, uh, that movie just completely flopped, but then like DVD sales were like People loved this shit when it came out on DVD. He's like, that fucking movie blew up when it went to DVD. And I was like, yeah, makes fucking sense.

[00:13:16] Scott: sure Happy Gilmore was like that too, was it not? I don't know, man. Adam Sandler was, did they flop in the theater? Oh, he was already on SNL for a long time. Yeah, and that's what that did for the comedy, was people you already knew made a movie. People started to not trust it. Magruder is good, man. Never seen it.

[00:13:51] Frank: And I mean, he's a fucking tool. And he does great! He's

[00:14:03] Frank: Hahahahaha! Hey! Hahahaha!

[00:14:17] Scott: And they were like, talking about her baked goods.

[00:14:20] Scott: Yeah. The little parts in this movie didn't go to waste though. And they let you know immediately, like they were like, here's three people will never see again and all of them are going to be funny. And then we're gonna move on. And they're a little, like, jumping up and down in the apartment before they go on tour.

up

[00:14:46] Scott: Yeah, and that's what that looks like at first. Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha. Just driving around, playing like, kind of shitty places, and far away, and trying not to get too far away, and it's really quite scary in Texas.

[00:15:12] Frank: felt like it made me feel kind of dirty. You know, like they hit the spot.

[00:15:19] Scott: Green room. Fucking excellent. Dirty. Oh yeah. Violent. So violent. Dirty. Is that what bothers you the most about green room? That it's a dirty bar. Oh, that's okay.

There's

[00:15:36] Scott: Yes! Well, I mean, they're not all full of skinheads, but

[00:15:43] Scott: Can't win! That's the thing you focus on.

[00:15:50] Frank: But yeah, the van, I mean, they look pretty accurate. Packer head. I'm glad that he was like a Southern type dude, but he was cordial. You know what I mean? You hear a strong accent like that and you're like, what kind of character is it going to be? He seemed

[00:16:04] Scott: And you were like, this guy might be homeless, but he's

[00:16:10] Scott: was the right kind of guy to tour around with. Also, it's a big wide world out there, man. It's scary. Bring that guy with you. My friend's band used to have a tour manager who was like a ex marine Like military guy, but they felt very safe in his hands Like he was in charge of everything.

[00:16:45] Scott: But yes, uh, I mean, nobody deserved to die. I mean,

[00:17:08] Scott: lot.

[00:17:11] Scott: But he was in the way of their punk rock dream. And Peckerhead saw this. Ah, the punk rock dream of fame.

[00:17:22] Scott: bad. Not bad. Not bad.

[00:17:26] Frank: Like, at all. I'm not gonna lie. I liked the movie punk. The punk music in the movie. It was, it was nice.

[00:17:39] Frank: and his name was like on every one of those, right? Yeah. Yeah, but killed it. That was good

[00:17:47] Frank: Well think about how much money they save by not having to like pay the rights to like cover Popular pumps punk songs or you know, just pay for music and film is like a lot of money sometimes

[00:18:01] Scott: Yeah It could have just written 15 second things to do really like how hard would that be? Oh, we're gonna play a band on tour But all you need to do is write like a verse and a chorus Yeah, like a verse and a chorus and

[00:18:21] Frank: Um, I don't know though I mean it's coming time is coming gone. The time is coming on for that The Oneeders. What can I say? This band went a little harder than the Oneeders though. Duh. Was everybody just expected to have a tape player? Cause I feel like we were in the now. I feel like the tapes have been gone for a minute.

[00:18:39] Scott: Oh, when they tried to bring back cassette tapes? Yeah. Uh, I don't know. I don't have a cassette player. No. I don't even know where

[00:18:50] Scott: There were. I hung on to mine till very recently.

[00:18:57] Frank: I, a while back I found a DMX and a Nelly tape. Were they taped off the radio? No, they were tapes. Oh. I went and bought them with somebody we knew. Oh, they were

[00:19:08] Frank: Wow. And that was from high school for us. Like, at least junior year, too.

[00:19:14] Frank: Columbia. The pennies? Yeah. God, that one guy we knew. I'm trying really hard to know names here, because that's like two stories back to back, but that one guy, the big one. Weird, yeah. Weird, yeah. Well, wait. We knew quite a few of those. But the one. You know. Was ripping off Columbia Music.

[00:19:46] Scott: how you pick things back then. Yeah. It's like, that looks, that looks heavy.

[00:20:01] Frank: fuckin Seuss related? Yeah, like,

[00:20:06] Frank: I was gonna say, that sounds like Dr.

[00:20:10] Frank: Noothgrush. Like those Ned Flanders metal guys? Oakley Doakley? Yeah! That's hardcore, man, that's the shit. White wine, spritzer!

[00:20:32] Scott: guy. Yeah. That guy. Well,

[00:20:40] Frank: Oh yeah, for sure. Yeah. I mean, that's what they were like. That's what they were throwing out

[00:20:46] Frank: Yeah. Yeah. And he probably would, you know. And that probably wouldn't even be that dirty relatively clean.

[00:20:54] Frank: He's got a pool Yeah, I like to skim the rubbers off the surface before I jump in

[00:21:09] Scott: people fucking there

[00:21:20] Scott: I like to put my asshole on it and jerk off. They can't clean

[00:21:26] Scott: Um,

[00:21:35] Scott: face. I like when they finally let you hear a song. Oh my god. And like, what it is. And you're like, yeah.

[00:21:43] Frank: heard that before. It's a spoken word bird song. Yeah. With a dash of punk. Like, it was, to me it was like, the softest spoken word, but then like, a little punk drop in. Screamy. More screamy than punk though, I think. But. Yeah. I could feel it. It was a certain kind of

[00:21:58] Frank: Yeah. I mean, okay, no. I, like, I didn't say like, I can feel it. Like, I liked it. I just want to clarify that. Yeah. They're, you know. Point was made. Their music was trash. That one's judging you.

[00:22:07] Frank: No. This isn't a Blink 182 thing. This is a fucking The Shitty Band from the movie thing.

[00:22:16] Scott: Peckerhead. Peckerhead makes scones and they're delicious. And she has to cave on being like, Uh, yeah, he's a good guy. His scones are good. Yeah,

[00:22:30] Frank: There's so many of those, those little moments that are like, Oh, these are cool. Little believable

[00:22:43] Frank: she's just like, she didn't stop, you know, cheers. Fuck. I hate saying that. Like even if it was just the cheers guys, it's in the signature block on the email.

[00:22:57] Scott: People would

[00:23:00] Scott: like best. Best? Yeah, I don't like it.

[00:23:11] Scott: Ha ha ha!

[00:23:14] Frank: Yeah, even if they don't need to be. Yeah. Even if like, you're, you know, even if you did the

[00:23:28] Scott: The fucking metalheads in the parking lot. They have a tape deck. They do that made me wonder when is this we'll see

[00:23:38] Scott: Yeah, they're worried not at all. There might have been who did she call? How'd she she used payphones didn't she to call the guy at the venue that she gave her demo to?

[00:23:56] Frank: little things I never forget and I don't know cock and balls good run time though. What about 90? Yeah about 90 Yeah solid

Yeah.

[00:28:13] Scott: I love like punk and metal movies and stuff about bands and stuff like that, but I like it to be adjacent to it being like a music movie.
