Go through it, Blake. Another one.
Another one. Go. Smoke weed every day. Please don't stop the music. Water trash. Remind them.
I was intoxicated. Tell them. Okay, and we're done. He said we're done. No, we're done. We're done. That's it. What is up, guys? This podcast may or may not be on Netflix.
Netflix, yeah.
Chapter 3: What are the implications of MTV's decline in popular culture?
I do not have that prepared. Whoa. Whoa, dude. I do not have a Netflix aircon. I will get it as soon as we're live.
Because we signed a deal with Netflix to be on Netflix. We did. But we don't know when officially we're starting that deal. So we don't know. But we are going to be on Netflix. We're pretty excited about it.
I'm going to do a whole revamp.
a studio judge very excited i'm very excited it's crazy to me and we've talked about this before that you have our poster that's what we do yeah on the ground directly behind you where you can see it and then when i brought that up to you you said well i don't want behind me to be all about me and i'm like we still see the poster it's just not hanging
Notice me, senpai. Notice me.
I think I told you that I don't hang things up around the house of me. Oh, okay. Why not? But I also, I just don't want to, I'm not going to hang that up. That's not what I'm going to hang up. It's going to stay on the floor. Hang it up. I mean, it's literally, you can't even see. It's still wrapped in.
I don't think I have that. I don't think Isaac sent that to me, which is pretty cool.
I'll send it. You can have it.
I have it. I have it up in my garage.

Chapter 4: How do the hosts feel about the state of modern comedies?
It looks great.
Dude, if you get a Navigator and come over, throw it right in the back.
I might. And that is the Game Over poster if you're still listening via audio and not possibly Netflix if and when that deal finally closes. Cannot wait. Cannot wait. Can't wait. I think Papa Netflix is my favorite corporate overlord. Okay. What's your favorite corporate overlord?
Well, I'm trying to coin the evil empire. I'm trying to coin that, the evil empire.
Okay. And how do you do that? How does one do that?
And they're evil to you because they give you bigger paychecks than you've ever gotten in your life. And they're how you pay for your family, feed your family and afford your mortgage.
Well, because it doesn't sound cool to say like the awesome empire. It's got to be the evil empire. It's a cool Rage Against the Machine album. Yeah. Like, come on.
Yeah. Okay. Yeah, I guess that makes sense.
I mean evil in a nice way. Yeah. Like Dr. Evil. And it's cool. It's cool.

Chapter 5: What insights do the hosts share about the evolution of comedy films?
Like we're like teaming up with Darth Vader sort of. That's cool to me. I like being the bad guy.
Oh, that's right. You've got a bad boy streak. We're the bad guys. Right? Don't you guys like to be the bad guys? I guess so. I can only think of one other evil overlord, Adam, and that's Zaslav.
Zaslav?
Yeah. Zaslav is a good sounding name for a evil overlord.
Yeah. I think that's just a fun one to say. Zaslav seems kind of like evil.
And throwing up the Z is kind of sick.
All hail Zaslav. Yeah. Remember when we did that? We did like an all hand. They called it all hands. And I still don't quite know what that means. But it was a for Viacom where they have a bunch of their people on their hit shows come and do perform basically for all the head marketing people that then spend.
It's like an upfront. Yeah.
Yeah, but they called it All Hands. And so for whatever reason, Anders couldn't go. So Blake and I just went by ourselves. And our bit was that we just came out doing this and we just go, all hail Viacom, all hail Viacom.

Chapter 6: How do the hosts critique the casting choices in recent films?
And then got the crowd of 500 or so ad executives to all put up their Vs like this and chant all hail Viacom.
Yeah!
It was very fun. Yeah, and it crushed. It crushed.
Turns out. It did. That worked. You know what? Did we even talk about some of the saddest news to hit the airwaves?
MTV ending.
MTV is gone.
I knew it. I knew you were going to say it.
Dude. Speaking of Viacom. And Blake just got into it a couple of years ago.
Oh, dude. You're like a channel that's fully dedicated to Rob Dyrdek's ridiculousness. Yeah, absolutely. Man, does it get any better?

Chapter 7: What are the hosts' thoughts on Shia LaBeouf's acting skills?
We got to at least do something that resembles a specific voice.
And that is why Viacom, and I don't know, maybe they're under new ownership. Maybe it'll change. But they were the worst. The worst. The worst.
Soulless.
Soulless.
It is a giant bag fumble. Do you remember how MTV controlled culture? It literally was. The entire culture was through MTV.
And it was mostly Ja Rule and Ashanti based.
and cisco a little cisco thong song was off the chain the spring break like the spring break beauty and the beach shit raised me i used to record that on a vcr just to watch it back the grind on the beach was wild
Hey, Blake, how many times did you jerk off to Beauty and the Beach, Spring Break, MTV?
An insane amount of times.

Chapter 8: What conclusions do the hosts draw about the future of comedy in film?
I think we really... They still do, but the storylines are fucking stupid. And you click through it. It's always just like... Where? Stepbrother, get out of here, stepbrother. That's not a story. Stepsister, I have to... Mom says I have to be in here. Meanwhile, they're both 36. And you're like, what are we doing?
And then the stepmom shows up and somehow she's younger.
Yeah, she... She's 27. That's not a story. Like getting stuck in like the washer or dryer or whatever. That's not a story.
Those are good.
Tale as old as time. Maybe you could count the like the real estate ones. Those are kind of a story. I'll count that as a story where they're like, oh, like I love this house, but how am I going to pay for it?
It used to be epic tales. It used to be like they were shipwrecked.
Espionage.
Right.
Yeah, I remember this one called Ravenous. Oh, man. It had this dude named, I think his name is Randy Spears. He's one of my favorite porno actors.
