[00:00:12] I have something big to tell you. Psych is moving to Wednesdays.

[00:00:15] Yeah, yeah, feel that!

[00:00:17] With new uniforms.

[00:00:18] You're like a giant Dutch oven.

[00:00:20] New tack.

[00:00:21] What is this?

[00:00:22] That is an anti-tank weapon, and you're pointing it at yourself.

[00:00:25] And new sound effects.

[00:00:27] Oh my gosh.

[00:00:30] Psych moves to Wednesdays with all new episodes.

[00:00:33] Alright, we'll go. Not because you told us to. Gus has to tinkle.

[00:00:36] Yeah.

[00:00:36] All new episodes of Psych, Wednesday, January 27th at 10th, only on USA.

[00:00:41] Characters welcome.

[00:00:43] Well, similar to Travis, I've always been a fan of the murder mystery type of show, and I came to Psych through Twin Peaks.

[00:00:51] Oh, that's right!

[00:00:52] Yeah.

[00:00:53] Yeah.

[00:00:54] After binging this 1990s show when I was overseas, I came home and I was like, I want more like this than my friend recommended, this single episode of this show.

[00:01:05] This single episode.

[00:01:05] And I was like, that was phenomenal.

[00:01:08] I need to see more of this.

[00:01:10] So that's starting right over from season one, from after Dual Spires.

[00:01:14] I tell you, that is where the show would be at its best because those episodes that were a pastiche of a show or something like that.

[00:01:24] A movie within a movie.

[00:01:25] I, so I did not watch Twin Peaks until not that long ago.

[00:01:30] But I knew of it.

[00:01:32] And yet it's still funny.

[00:01:33] Like you don't have to know what's going on.

[00:01:34] And that episode started and I wasn't paying enough attention.

[00:01:37] I'm like, Dual Spires, okay, whatever, you know, and it starts going.

[00:01:40] And then it was about five or six minutes into the episode, it clicked into place and I'm like, oh, you beautiful bastards.

[00:01:46] This is perfect.

[00:01:49] And it just kept getting better.

[00:01:51] It's almost like the one courtroom episode where they're making fun of every other legal thriller.

[00:01:56] A few good men.

[00:01:58] And I think Macho's in there, right?

[00:02:00] Is that the one where they remade their own episode from season one?

[00:02:04] I think so, yeah.

[00:02:05] It's like, we didn't like that episode, so let's remake it and then let's throw in every reference.

[00:02:09] And then let's use actors who've already been on here playing totally different.

[00:02:12] That was great.

[00:02:13] When I watched that one in like season eight, I think it was, I went back and watched the original and they're both good.

[00:02:18] Yeah.

[00:02:19] It's just one is definitely a lot more meta and self-referential.

[00:02:23] So I did hear a rumor though, that there were some other crime shows that were watching it and they were, that's kind of how the, I can't confirm, but that's where I was hearing from some users where they think the pineapple might've spawned from.

[00:02:38] Oh.

[00:02:38] Where they were sticking it in as many episodes as they could.

[00:02:41] Cause then there was like a episode of the closer around the same time where G.W.

[00:02:45] Bailey from police Academy, who's on that show just would pick up a giant ass pineapple and are like, are they referencing other shows that are on a rival network?

[00:02:53] What's going on here?

[00:02:55] To make no mention of the mentalist.

[00:02:57] The mentalist.

[00:02:58] Yeah.

[00:02:58] Yeah.

[00:02:58] And they would always make fun of the mentalist.

[00:03:00] I mean, it's straight up stolen.

[00:03:04] It's such a good running gag though.

[00:03:06] Oh yeah.

[00:03:07] Oh no.

[00:03:07] And blatantly too.

[00:03:08] No, it's, it's not like that at all.

[00:03:10] I mean.

[00:03:12] Because I mean, the, the strength of the show, cause I mentioned it with James and Dulé and their, their chemistry, but the strength of the show, the writing is it's about relationships.

[00:03:22] Yeah.

[00:03:22] And those are always strong and, and growing and evolving.

[00:03:26] And that's what made the show work and made it continue to work because the gag of being psychic, but not really being psychic that can wear thin.

[00:03:34] And they kind of noticed that because you could see the way that whole bit evolved as the show went on.

[00:03:40] But the backbone of it was Sean and Gus.

[00:03:44] It was Sean and his dad.

[00:03:45] And then the Russia man style, you know.

[00:03:48] Yeah.

[00:03:49] It was all of that kind of stuff.

[00:03:51] That bullet will get stuck in your head after a while.

[00:03:53] Gus and the blueberry too.

[00:03:56] Oh.

[00:03:56] Gus and the blueberry.

[00:03:57] That's a, that's a great relationship right there.

[00:03:59] Like.

[00:04:00] Yeah.

[00:04:00] Well, what new car is, yeah.

[00:04:02] Gus going to crash.

[00:04:03] Gus.

[00:04:04] Like all of that.

[00:04:05] And that's what made it work and why it's rewatchable too.

[00:04:09] Like that's why I can go back to it.

[00:04:10] Every season, just as they're getting comfortable, there's something.

[00:04:14] That's why it's nice to watch say from the beginning to the end.

[00:04:17] And you see the evolution of, of the lie that the show is based on.

[00:04:21] Yes.

[00:04:22] And everyone's different takes on the ethics of that.

[00:04:25] The dad is, you know, I won't cover for you again, but he does.

[00:04:30] You know, he's still the dad and he's got a.

[00:04:31] I just had to have my moment to just tell you.

[00:04:34] I'm against this, but I'm going to keep helping you anyway.

[00:04:38] And, and even though everyone gets comfortable with it, it starts to bite him in the ass over time.

[00:04:44] Yeah.

[00:04:44] I mean, he almost loses Juliet over.

[00:04:46] Yeah.

[00:04:47] The episode post Vegas.

[00:04:49] Yeah.

[00:04:50] The whole episode following that is so dramatic, but it needed that just to remind him.

[00:04:54] Hey guys, no more pranks.

[00:04:56] Yeah.

[00:04:58] Well, also, I mean, there have to be stakes at a certain point, right?

[00:05:00] Yeah.

[00:05:01] For a show that largely, largely doesn't have them for the main characters.

[00:05:06] They bring them back so many times.

[00:05:07] There's one big, there's one big central fucking lie here that like, I don't know.

[00:05:12] You kind of have to address it at a certain point.

[00:05:15] Yeah.

[00:05:15] But I love this.

[00:05:17] They were able to, without it destroying the show.

[00:05:21] Yeah.

[00:05:22] Right.

[00:05:22] Like, right.

[00:05:23] Because you also had the will they, won't they of Sean and Jules for a long time.

[00:05:27] Sure.

[00:05:27] That, that can wreck a show, but it didn't here because.

[00:05:31] I think it helped.

[00:05:31] Even though they get together.

[00:05:33] The actors dated in real life.

[00:05:34] So I think that helped too.

[00:05:35] I mean, that helps too, but, but they were able to, to make the connection.

[00:05:39] Yeah.

[00:05:39] Because there was still the, the conflict of Sean's lie underneath it.

[00:05:43] Yes.

[00:05:43] So they didn't lose that by changing their dynamic.

[00:05:47] Absolutely.

[00:05:47] Absolutely.

[00:05:48] Instead of they have to be here because every other show has done it that way.

[00:05:53] Yeah.

[00:05:54] Yeah.

[00:05:54] And she say they broke up within the show for a while.

[00:05:58] I mean, she, she didn't just be like, oh, you're fine.

[00:06:00] I'll just get over it within the span of an episode.

[00:06:04] It was, you know, they, they took the time over several episodes for that.

[00:06:08] And just like they took the time for her trauma after the Yang thing.

[00:06:11] Yeah.

[00:06:11] They, they did some things really well.

[00:06:14] They, that's true too.

[00:06:15] I mean that everyone else kind of often brings up the Moriarty equivalent of

[00:06:21] Carrie O's villain, but I liked how there were some other characters.

[00:06:24] And I mean, some of the people they referenced so many times finally would be

[00:06:29] on there.

[00:06:30] I mean, it's so funny how they bring up Billy Zang.

[00:06:32] What do you know?

[00:06:33] He's a bad guy in one of the final episodes.

[00:06:35] And same thing with Val Kilmer playing himself.

[00:06:37] Oh, the Val Kilmer cameo was fantastic.

[00:06:40] I forgot.

[00:06:42] Dobson, agent, or the Dobson character.

[00:06:45] Jared.

[00:06:46] Yes.

[00:06:47] Oh man.

[00:06:48] That might be one of my favorite payoffs to a running gag in a series ever.

[00:06:53] And just how he's looking at the camera, just, it was kind of healing for him.

[00:06:56] Cause he was notorious for never being able to laugh at himself.

[00:06:59] And he's like, okay, sure.

[00:07:01] This is, this is a win-win for everybody.

[00:07:03] I stroke my ego and everyone else has fun knowing that I've been referenced and I'm

[00:07:07] finally appearing.

[00:07:10] But yeah, no, it's so true.

[00:07:12] I mean, it's so well shot.

[00:07:14] There was so much care put into it as opposed to, do you get it?

[00:07:17] Do you get it?

[00:07:18] Yeah.

[00:07:19] And then hammer it down and overdo it.

[00:07:21] It was, it was very simple.

[00:07:22] Right on point.

[00:07:23] Oh man.

[00:07:24] And Nick, Nick.

[00:07:27] I say, I love the, the, the Kurt Smith one, you know, cause he's such the intro moment

[00:07:32] of, is that Kurt Smith?

[00:07:37] It's almost a trailer part boys moment where you're like, oh my God.

[00:07:40] The guy's like, uh, you know, oh yeah, he's here.

[00:07:42] He's just hanging out.

[00:07:43] Like, no, you're paying me.

[00:07:47] Like, and, and that was another thing the show did really well was so many people knew Sean

[00:07:53] was full of shit, but didn't necessarily call him out.

[00:07:57] Like Nestor Carbonell is the Sean 2.0.

[00:07:59] Yeah.

[00:08:00] It was perfect because he was the better, more refined version of Sean in pretty much

[00:08:05] every single way.

[00:08:06] And he knew what Sean was doing and he was just like, I'm just not going to do anything

[00:08:10] about it.

[00:08:10] Cause they make a few references to his characters.

[00:08:14] Yeah.

[00:08:15] And I just liked that they referenced his, uh, his eyelashes.

[00:08:18] Cause the darkest eyelashes I have ever seen.

[00:08:23] Oh man.

[00:08:24] My second favorite Nestor Carbonell role, by the way, my favorite is.

[00:08:28] Yeah.

[00:08:29] Anyone, anyone got to guess what the favorite could be?

[00:08:31] The only thing I know is it'd be lost.

[00:08:33] Bates Motel.

[00:08:35] Oh, okay.

[00:08:36] All right.

[00:08:37] He was in, he was in, um, shit.

[00:08:42] Was it dark night?

[00:08:43] No, I was going back to nineties, nineties sitcom.

[00:08:46] Um, lost was the first thing I ever saw, man.

[00:08:49] Uh, early two thousands.

[00:08:51] Oh, there's this movies.

[00:08:53] He did a series.

[00:08:55] Oh, a series.

[00:08:56] It was a series.

[00:08:57] Oh, shit.

[00:08:58] I don't know.

[00:08:58] Live action series.

[00:09:00] Just shooting.

[00:09:01] So he was in the first iteration of the tick in live action.

[00:09:06] Oh my God.

[00:09:08] Yeah.

[00:09:08] That was really good.

[00:09:09] He played in, in this, in the animated series, it was deflator mouse.

[00:09:14] They reworked it for the live action.

[00:09:16] And he was Batman.

[00:09:18] Well, yeah, that's awesome.

[00:09:22] Oh my God.

[00:09:23] That is amazing.

[00:09:24] That's a show I need to revisit again.

[00:09:27] We all should.

[00:09:28] It was so much better than it had any right to be.

[00:09:31] Right.

[00:09:32] Patrick Warburton does that sometimes.

[00:09:33] Another guy who I'm surprised wasn't on here.

[00:09:35] Um, and when they had anything, Michael Hall playing the dipshit, who kind of takes over

[00:09:39] the police department for that season.

[00:09:41] I was just like, see, they needed that.

[00:09:45] They need a guy who just doesn't get anything and wants results.

[00:09:48] That was like the, that was where they truly went to like naked gun territory.

[00:09:52] They're just like, uh, just give me results.

[00:09:56] I don't know how to do anything right here, but I'll look important and look and just stare

[00:10:00] you down.

[00:10:02] Oh, and I hear the buzz.

[00:10:05] Uh, the one deputy guy, uh, played by Sage, uh, Brockle Bank is just a really funny guy

[00:10:09] also behind the scenes.

[00:10:11] And, oh yeah.

[00:10:12] But, but I'm also much like all the evolutions of these shows.

[00:10:16] I'm glad that he went from just being the butt of jokes or.

[00:10:19] Lasseter talking shit to, to.

[00:10:21] He just does brave, stupid shit.

[00:10:24] Half the time where you're like, dude, your pants are falling down.

[00:10:28] Yeah.

[00:10:28] They gave him a good payoff too.

[00:10:29] He got promoted to detective.

[00:10:31] Yeah.

[00:10:31] Right.

[00:10:32] Yeah.

[00:10:33] And got to work with Mira Sorvino.

[00:10:35] Yeah.

[00:10:36] What a great comeback for her too.

[00:10:38] Fun project.

[00:10:39] In the latest movie.

[00:10:40] I'm pretty sure he's the captain now.

[00:10:42] I think so.

[00:10:43] I think you're right.

[00:10:44] I think he did.

[00:10:45] Yeah.

[00:10:46] I, I'm that's so went over my head, but yeah, he totally is.

[00:10:49] I don't know if I'd want to be the captain of the murder capital of the universe, but.

[00:10:54] More murders there than in, than in.

[00:10:57] Law and order in New York.

[00:10:58] It's crazy.

[00:11:00] Right.

[00:11:00] Totally not filmed in Canada.

[00:11:02] Totally.

[00:11:04] Yeah.

[00:11:05] That is the rainiest Santa Barbara has ever been.

[00:11:08] Yes.

[00:11:09] They did a good job dressing it up, but there are times where you're like, this is filmed

[00:11:12] somewhere else, but because it's a comedy, you just let it go versus other shows where

[00:11:16] you're like, this is not Miami.

[00:11:17] Yeah.

[00:11:18] You're not getting wrapped up in verisimilitude.

[00:11:20] Yeah.

[00:11:21] Well, or just plot convenience where you're like, how did they get even get off that so-called

[00:11:26] famous highway?

[00:11:27] Sure.

[00:11:28] Yeah.

[00:11:30] Oh, and I get it.

[00:11:31] I get how it can be distracting and how times change, but I also see how it can be distracting

[00:11:36] if you're there every day and you're like, no way are they going to make it there.

[00:11:39] Yeah.

[00:11:40] Oh, and.

[00:11:44] Kudos also, though, I mean, we got to talk about Woody and just how the fact that that

[00:11:49] character could have also easily backfired.

[00:11:51] They could have made him too creepy.

[00:11:52] They could have made him too.

[00:11:53] When did he come in?

[00:11:54] Because he was just kind of there.

[00:11:57] I think his first credit on it, I just had to look him up for, we just had a Kurt Fuller

[00:12:02] SVU episode.

[00:12:03] He was the lawyer guy.

[00:12:05] Yeah.

[00:12:05] Yeah.

[00:12:05] Yeah.

[00:12:06] It was season 20 episode one man up.

[00:12:09] But he, I'm pretty sure his first credit on psych was 2007 and he's in 33 episodes,

[00:12:16] if I'm not mistaken.

[00:12:17] Okay.

[00:12:17] So.

[00:12:18] So it would have been season one or two.

[00:12:20] I can't remember how season one.

[00:12:22] The Wicca.

[00:12:22] Season four.

[00:12:23] Actually.

[00:12:24] Yeah.

[00:12:24] The Wicca's claim is season four.

[00:12:26] Oh, season four.

[00:12:27] Shit.

[00:12:27] Yeah.

[00:12:27] I top fade out.

[00:12:28] Okay.

[00:12:29] Which is a great, great episode.

[00:12:31] I top fade out.

[00:12:33] Is it 33 episodes though?

[00:12:36] Yeah.

[00:12:36] It's 33 episodes.

[00:12:37] It appeared in like free.

[00:12:39] That's one with quarter black.

[00:12:40] The music group.

[00:12:42] Yeah.

[00:12:42] Yeah.

[00:12:44] Jaleel White.

[00:12:45] No.

[00:12:46] Yeah.

[00:12:46] Oh.

[00:12:46] Yeah.

[00:12:47] That was one of the first ones where I really belly laughed at.

[00:12:50] And then it was just this funny the second time when I went through it again,

[00:12:53] I'm like, oh my good.

[00:12:54] And kudos to.

[00:12:57] How complex the plot twists are.

[00:12:59] Sometimes, you know, they're going to be bad, but you don't know how.

[00:13:02] So there's always no matter how many times you've seen it, it's like, wait, now I got

[00:13:05] to remember how does so-and-so, you know, betray them at the end.

[00:13:09] What's the other funny gag on how they get arrested?

[00:13:12] But it's not just again, like.

[00:13:15] It is free to kind of pretty much pick and choose what it wants, you know, sometimes it's

[00:13:20] just something very bizarre, like especially when Gus has an office job briefly.

[00:13:26] You know?

[00:13:27] And it's just like, how are they going to get their everything working when they need

[00:13:33] each other in order to survive?

[00:13:36] I mean, Woody, when he's in Vegas in that same episode, you know, everyone remembers

[00:13:40] it as, you know, Gus and Sean misbehaving.

[00:13:43] And then, you know, him and Jules break it up.

[00:13:46] But it is actually funny to build up before that where Woody is having way too much fun

[00:13:50] and he doesn't know what to do with himself.

[00:13:52] Another one that I think that was really funny with Woody is all the jokes that Woody makes

[00:13:58] in the hangover episode.

[00:14:01] Yes.

[00:14:03] Making fun of every drunken comedy.

[00:14:07] Last night, Gus is such a brilliant episode just front to back.

[00:14:12] Like, I can remember watching that with, I think I sat down and watched it with my dad

[00:14:17] like a week or two after it had come out.

[00:14:20] Oh, nice.

[00:14:21] And he was not a fan.

[00:14:22] Like, he never saw the hangover.

[00:14:24] But he understood that episode and he laughed throughout the whole thing.

[00:14:27] Like, it's just great.

[00:14:29] Like, every time they get the, oh, you're not you again or whatever it is when they,

[00:14:34] whenever Henry's around.

[00:14:35] Like, he's the angry one.

[00:14:38] Right.

[00:14:38] And I love how at the time he's using this as just an excuse to be a cop without, you

[00:14:44] know, getting his badge back.

[00:14:47] Also, I think that episode has my favorite Lassie moment where he picks his gun up and

[00:14:52] he's like, this has been fired.

[00:14:54] It's like, oh, I can tell by the weight.

[00:14:56] Like, just knowing that.

[00:14:57] Yeah, he's such a gun nut.

[00:14:59] And yet.

[00:15:00] Such a nut.

[00:15:02] Yeah, he brings up when they're on the hunting trip later on.

[00:15:06] He's like, oh, I never was close to my gay mother and my dad left me.

[00:15:10] And I'm like, Jesus, dude.

[00:15:13] And I can hunt that bear for you.

[00:15:15] I'm like, please don't.

[00:15:18] I think I really warmed up to the Lassiter character in the Civil War reenactment episode.

[00:15:24] Yes.

[00:15:25] Season one.

[00:15:25] Oh, my God.

[00:15:26] That's the one where it's like, okay, I like this.

[00:15:27] This guy.

[00:15:28] That episode was on all the time.

[00:15:31] He wanted to take it so seriously.

[00:15:33] And I loved it.

[00:15:36] There's the other one.

[00:15:37] And I forget.

[00:15:38] No matter how many times I've seen this one, it always starts atypical, but he ends up being

[00:15:43] in the talent show where he tap dances.

[00:15:46] Oh, yeah.

[00:15:47] They're in the tap dance class together.

[00:15:49] At the very end.

[00:15:50] And he goes, I just found out who's the rapist is.

[00:15:55] Did you really just say that in front of everybody?

[00:15:57] It's like a clear show.

[00:16:00] Here's Lassie.

[00:16:01] It's always my favorite.

[00:16:05] Most shows will have sarcastic names.

[00:16:07] I just liked how the titles of each episode were very cryptic.

[00:16:12] It's like, wait, what's that about again?

[00:16:14] It's not what you think.

[00:16:15] Exactly.

[00:16:17] There's the Viagra Falls one, you know, where they got the old school detectives.

[00:16:22] Oh, it's so good.

[00:16:24] Carl Weathers, William DeBane.

[00:16:26] I'm like, oh my God.

[00:16:27] Of course.

[00:16:29] I mean, just put Carl Weathers in anything.

[00:16:32] Immediately going to enjoy it.

[00:16:34] Yep.

[00:16:35] Oh, man.

[00:16:36] There's actually a lot of Rocky references in there.

[00:16:39] But I mean, it's so funny, though.

[00:16:41] Like some references do go over people's heads.

[00:16:43] Like my mother wasn't much of a karate kid person, but my father got every one of the

[00:16:47] jokes when Ralph Macchio guessed it.

[00:16:49] I'm like, come on.

[00:16:50] They just said his famous line.

[00:16:53] Sure.

[00:16:54] And the police academy, you know, these are authentic sweatsuits.

[00:17:00] Oh, my God.

[00:17:02] But there again, like it's the brilliance of the writing because you don't have to get every

[00:17:06] joke.

[00:17:07] You don't.

[00:17:08] You're going to find there's going to still be jokes that land for you in every episode.

[00:17:10] This gives a more rewatchability.

[00:17:12] Really?

[00:17:12] Sure.

[00:17:13] Especially if you do it every like five years, because then you'll have another five years

[00:17:16] of like, oh, no, now I've seen Rolling Thunder or whatever.

[00:17:19] And if they have Rolling Thunder references with William Devane, then you're going to get

[00:17:24] those that time, you know?

[00:17:26] That's right.

[00:17:26] Doesn't he say like I went after a guy with one arm or some shit?

[00:17:30] I think so.

[00:17:31] I can't.

[00:17:31] It's been a long time.

[00:17:32] But yeah, it is.

[00:17:33] This is like, like you say, this is like he did just say that.

[00:17:39] Oh, God.

[00:17:41] Whenever they are kind of making a lot of the pop culture references, it's nice sometimes

[00:17:46] when they've got someone in the room like Ralph Macho where the jokes are going over

[00:17:50] their head.

[00:17:51] Yes.

[00:17:52] So they're able to double up on the person.

[00:17:56] The person that doesn't know what police academy even is.

[00:17:58] And he's running a police academy.

[00:18:00] Yes.

[00:18:01] And just half the time he's looking at him like, are you OK, dude?

[00:18:05] Are you saying in the brain?

[00:18:09] I'm sure it must have been hell on her.

[00:18:11] Just how can we get through the scene without cracking up?

[00:18:15] That's where they come in with the, you know, I can't do this with you right now.

[00:18:22] Oh, man.

[00:18:24] You know, and running gags are hard to continue to have them be funny.

[00:18:28] And they they manage to find the right balance of how often to use a gag and how long to kind

[00:18:35] of put it on the shelf, let it sit for a while.

[00:18:38] And then, oh, remember this gag will bring that one back.

[00:18:40] And then you laugh at it again because you remember it.

[00:18:43] They were just they were very good at that kind of timing.

[00:18:46] And kudos to them giving them something new to do.

[00:18:49] Like when Henry rejoins the police department to keep an eye on the sun and hope out Karen,

[00:18:54] who he's friends with is like he's having wacky things to do.

[00:18:58] And half the time he's getting attracted to the suspects that his son is investigating.

[00:19:03] And I like how, yeah, Lasseter is instead of picking on Sean or McNabb, he's doing something else.

[00:19:12] That's like a gag that particular season.

[00:19:15] It's just like everyone's got something new in their own little corner.

[00:19:18] Then you're just like, man, how did they even flesh that out and make it be so new every episode?

[00:19:25] Kudos, man.

[00:19:27] Kudos to that room.

[00:19:29] Kudos to that room.

[00:20:00] Kudos to that room.

[00:20:01] But yeah, I still really want them to bring him back for one.

[00:20:05] They should.

[00:20:07] Even just for him to walk across the screen and wink.

[00:20:09] I'd be happy.

[00:20:11] Absolutely.

[00:20:12] Have MI6 has recruited him now and he's like, here I am, you bastards.

[00:20:17] Yeah.

[00:20:18] Yeah.

[00:20:20] But that's just what was so much fun too, is he would just have it when he first starts out.

[00:20:27] He's making fun of how dumb he thinks Sean and Gus are.

[00:20:30] And then it gets even more like you just won't stop.

[00:20:33] And then for him to be part of that awesome Indiana Jones parody, the kind of crappy rusty old dagger episode.

[00:20:38] That was great.

[00:20:41] Oh, the Anna Sean and the.

[00:20:45] I had a long title.

[00:20:47] It was a big ass title.

[00:20:50] The temple.

[00:20:51] Yeah.

[00:20:51] The temple of the kind of crappy rusty old dagger.

[00:20:53] There you go.

[00:20:54] That's what it was.

[00:20:55] That's right.

[00:20:56] Yeah.

[00:20:56] Yeah.

[00:20:56] Cause that had a Jonathan Reese Davies in it.

[00:20:59] Yeah.

[00:21:00] John Reese Davies in it.

[00:21:01] And it had a Steven Weber.

[00:21:03] Oh my God.

[00:21:04] Yes.

[00:21:05] Oh, and the uncle.

[00:21:06] That's right.

[00:21:07] Yup.

[00:21:09] I was always surprised with the amount of times they referenced Michael Ironside and yet he never showed up with fellow Canadian.

[00:21:15] What happened here?

[00:21:16] He should be the villain.

[00:21:17] The next one.

[00:21:19] Just do it.

[00:21:21] I don't recall you.

[00:21:24] They did have Peter Weller show up though.

[00:21:28] Robocop.

[00:21:28] That I thought was a very clever episode.

[00:21:31] And each time I saw it, I always forget halfway through he's in it, even though you see the guest star at the front.

[00:21:36] The episodes.

[00:21:38] And of course, the chat was in there two episodes.

[00:21:41] Yeah.

[00:21:42] As Matt and Jules dead.

[00:21:43] And that was really cool from, I found personally, because instead of just being bizarre as he had done the last five years on Boston legal and Miss Congeniality films is like, okay, now here he is.

[00:21:55] He's playing it straight.

[00:21:57] Right.

[00:21:57] No more making fun of my, how I'm a has-been.

[00:22:01] I'm now doing bad movies and comedies.

[00:22:04] How I'm Captain Kirk.

[00:22:05] It was none of that.

[00:22:05] It was all just.

[00:22:07] But my wife called that twist though.

[00:22:09] I'll give her credit.

[00:22:11] She loves William Shatner.

[00:22:13] We've seen him live talk about Rathacon.

[00:22:16] Fantastic.

[00:22:17] And he's a great guy.

[00:22:19] But as soon as like he was playing the part of the rich guy in the mansion, she called it right away.

[00:22:28] Well, Stephen, I got to tell you, I have a friend, Chuck.

[00:22:30] He has probably the coolest memorabilia ever.

[00:22:34] He literally has the floor mats out of one of William Shatner's Mercedes.

[00:22:42] And it has WS in great.

[00:22:45] I mean, that's cool.

[00:22:47] That is cool.

[00:22:48] He should have done it.

[00:22:49] I was hoping you were going to say out of the car from TJ Hooker.

[00:22:52] I was about to say.

[00:22:53] That would be too much.

[00:22:53] He should have done a good car jump.

[00:22:57] Yeah.

[00:22:58] Yeah.

[00:22:58] His cousin worked at a dealership where Shatner brought it in and was buying a new car for his daughter.

[00:23:03] So he traded it.

[00:23:05] The guy was like, zoink.

[00:23:07] That's amazing.

[00:23:08] Yeah.

[00:23:09] I wish there was an episode where we got to have both William Shatner playing her father and John Cena as her brother.

[00:23:18] I think that would have been really fun to see the mayor act.

[00:23:21] It really would.

[00:23:22] That would be.

[00:23:23] It would.

[00:23:24] He would literally tear down the house.

[00:23:26] Literally.

[00:23:26] But those are.

[00:23:28] Talk about being ahead of the curve.

[00:23:29] Like, I see people revisiting those episodes now that Cena has now finally embraced a comedic side.

[00:23:36] And it's like that.

[00:23:38] That was just a good kind of ahead of the curve.

[00:23:40] Just appear in two episodes and then one of the movies.

[00:23:44] And it's like, see that.

[00:23:45] It was just kind of fun to have Jules had, you know, Sean thought his family was weird.

[00:23:51] Jules' family is even weirder.

[00:23:54] Got a danger seeking family.

[00:23:57] It's a good cameo at the end of that movie to that.

[00:24:00] No point in the story.

[00:24:01] It just kind of has nothing to do with anything, but it's like, say goodbye to the gremlin style psych office.

[00:24:07] Yeah.

[00:24:08] That's really the only purpose it had.

[00:24:10] It becomes true lies for those last two minutes.

[00:24:13] Yeah.

[00:24:15] I think they reference it at the beginning in that we're not going back to the Netherlands or something.

[00:24:22] Norway.

[00:24:24] That's right.

[00:24:26] There were other little subtle ones in there, too.

[00:24:29] Like, they're not directly referencing, but like Robert Patrick, for instance, you know, the T-1000 had been various military guys and the unit was still on.

[00:24:37] And so it is kind of funny when they do the military mystery episode.

[00:24:43] And he's, of course, the colonel they're suspecting.

[00:24:45] Like, of course, he's on there.

[00:24:47] I love the army episode.

[00:24:49] It's great.

[00:24:49] Just play into half the time they're playing into these actors' stereotypes.

[00:24:53] Like, Ted McGinley was in one.

[00:24:55] He's like, he's always suspected of being a dumbass or awful person.

[00:24:58] So, of course, he's on there.

[00:25:00] And they would play into that.

[00:25:01] Like, hey, is he a sitcom killer?

[00:25:06] I don't know.

[00:25:07] I think we'd say we'd be remiss to not mention Tim Curry, though.

[00:25:11] Oh, right.

[00:25:12] Right.

[00:25:13] I mean, it's top of my list as far as guest spots.

[00:25:16] He nails that Simon Cowell asshole.

[00:25:19] The talent show.

[00:25:21] My mother's favorite is the soap opera one.

[00:25:24] Oh, it's bad.

[00:25:25] John learns how to be an actor.

[00:25:27] That one.

[00:25:28] That one's great.

[00:25:29] And plus, it was just cool to see James, you know, just be proud of his heritage and everything.

[00:25:36] Or the 100th episode.

[00:25:39] Yeah.

[00:25:39] I was just going to mention 100 clues.

[00:25:41] Is that the clue one?

[00:25:43] Yeah.

[00:25:44] Christopher Lloyd, Leslie and Martin Mull.

[00:25:47] Yeah.

[00:25:47] And Leslie and Warren.

[00:25:48] So good.

[00:25:49] That's probably one of my favorite 100th episodes of any show.

[00:25:54] Absolutely.

[00:25:55] Because any other show would have just had it been just kind of let's do a throwback or

[00:25:58] clip show.

[00:25:59] And they wisely did not do that.

[00:26:01] There's like, what's the ultimate mystery comedy that everybody has seen in some capacity?

[00:26:08] And they kind of make fun of the alternate endings kind of semi.

[00:26:12] So that was kind of fun.

[00:26:13] Yeah.

[00:26:14] And a great director for that one was Matt Shackman.

[00:26:17] Directed that episode.

[00:26:18] Yes.

[00:26:19] He did quite a bunch, you know, before he did Marvel and a bunch of other stuff.

[00:26:24] But yeah, it was.

[00:26:26] He's gone on to do a lot of dark comedies.

[00:26:28] But yeah, he held in quite a number of episodes of that show.

[00:26:33] This and Sonny.

[00:26:35] Yeah.

[00:26:36] Yeah.

[00:26:37] I think he's done more Sonny episodes.

[00:26:39] Yeah, he did a lot of Sonny.

[00:26:41] Yeah.

[00:26:43] And I know.

[00:26:44] That was always one of my favorites.

[00:26:46] And I didn't know this at the time when Phil did the research.

[00:26:50] That that show was picked from an online viewers poll.

[00:26:54] And when they did it, the East Coast had a different killer than the West Coast episode.

[00:27:04] Before Twitter took off, they missed him.

[00:27:06] That's great.

[00:27:08] That's awesome.

[00:27:09] Of course, when Christopher Lloyd shouts, great, Scott.

[00:27:12] You know.

[00:27:14] You don't put Christopher Lloyd in something and not ask him to do that.

[00:27:18] Yeah.

[00:27:18] When he was on Mondo season three, they did the same thing.

[00:27:21] They referenced the DeLorean in one capacity.

[00:27:24] I know Roday was in.

[00:27:26] I heard it wasn't very good.

[00:27:28] But he was in these sports comedy movies with some of the always Sonny guys called the Buddy Games.

[00:27:34] So I would like to think.

[00:27:36] Yeah.

[00:27:37] That's what I heard.

[00:27:38] I haven't seen it.

[00:27:38] Skip it.

[00:27:39] I will take your word for it.

[00:27:41] I value my time.

[00:27:42] But I just find it interesting how a lot of these comedians or comic actors, you know, they work together a few times.

[00:27:48] And it's like you would like to see some of them come on to each other's show.

[00:27:52] You know.

[00:27:53] Yeah.

[00:27:54] So.

[00:27:56] Yeah.

[00:27:57] I did find it interesting that they had so many of the original Clue people on there.

[00:28:01] But then Tim Curry was on another episode by himself.

[00:28:06] Would have been so great to have him in there.

[00:28:08] When you go.

[00:28:09] I love the Tim Curry episode.

[00:28:10] He's like, which one?

[00:28:12] Yeah.

[00:28:13] They had the guy from SNL play the butler.

[00:28:15] And then Garrett.

[00:28:15] Garrett Morse.

[00:28:17] Yeah.

[00:28:17] Ant-Man.

[00:28:18] That's right.

[00:28:19] Yeah.

[00:28:20] Yeah.

[00:28:20] That's an Ant-Man.

[00:28:22] Oh, and sometimes kudos to them.

[00:28:24] You know, it's so hard to even make fun of dead bodies and everything.

[00:28:27] And they were never too morbid, but they always still had just like, that's how so-and-so died.

[00:28:32] You know, just tripping or falling down the stairway.

[00:28:34] You know.

[00:28:37] I think the only one I can think of where it wasn't necessarily funny was probably the Michael Rooker takes the garage shop hostage episode.

[00:28:46] But it was needed because, again, just showed how Jules and Gus like each other.

[00:28:51] Yeah.

[00:28:51] But also, like, that episode has Michael Rooker and Jonathan Hawks in it.

[00:28:56] Yes.

[00:28:56] They're having fun.

[00:28:58] They're just great in, like, everything.

[00:29:01] I don't know.

[00:29:02] But apparently I just like way too many actors because I say that a lot.

[00:29:05] It is.

[00:29:05] Like, those two are, you know, Hawks especially is somebody that I see him in something and I just get this, like, happy feeling.

[00:29:15] Like, oh, John Hawks is in this.

[00:29:16] This is going to be great.

[00:29:17] You never know where he's going to go, if he's going to be a maniac or if he's going to be pretty subtle.

[00:29:23] Either way, he's unrecognizable in a way.

[00:29:24] Yeah.

[00:29:25] And I think that's why the actors and guest stars like it.

[00:29:29] It's just, you don't know what to make of it.

[00:29:31] It's just going to be outrageous.

[00:29:33] You know.

[00:29:34] When they had, I know Michael Hogan, who you might know as Colonel Teague from Battlestar, he played two different episodes.

[00:29:39] And I think one episode he was a fisherman.

[00:29:41] The other time he was just like a cranky jerk who saw something at a trailer park.

[00:29:47] It just sounds like a stretch.

[00:29:49] Right.

[00:29:51] But it's a perfect form.

[00:29:53] Jerry Ryan, you know, 709 was in one.

[00:29:57] What's their name?

[00:29:59] And God, this came to me.

[00:30:01] But I like Lou Diamond Phillips.

[00:30:04] That is a funny one.

[00:30:06] Yes.

[00:30:06] That was a good guest spot.

[00:30:07] He's just randomly working out for no reason.

[00:30:10] Just put out his shirt off.

[00:30:11] Because he was a treasury guy there for.

[00:30:14] Yes.

[00:30:16] And Gary Cole in the bank robbery.

[00:30:20] Yeah.

[00:30:21] I really liked that one.

[00:30:23] Yep.

[00:30:24] Steve McBride in the cruise ship mystery one.

[00:30:26] Yeah.

[00:30:26] It's just always.

[00:30:28] And you never know where it's going to go if.

[00:30:31] And especially when they inevitably get taken hostage.

[00:30:34] Like they do it in a way where you can take it seriously without.

[00:30:38] OK, this is too much.

[00:30:39] Yeah.

[00:30:40] This is too much serious mixed in with funny.

[00:30:43] You know, it's just very careful planning.

[00:30:45] And just the beats.

[00:30:47] Just get film.

[00:30:48] Yeah.

[00:30:51] And Jaleel White and all the ones with Gus's friends.

[00:30:56] Yeah.

[00:30:58] Yeah.

[00:30:59] Kenan Thompson was one of them.

[00:31:01] Yes.

[00:31:02] Kenan Thompson was one.

[00:31:03] The Boys to Men singing the title theme.

[00:31:06] And then in the rest of the episode.

[00:31:08] That was fun.

[00:31:09] It's one of my favorite title changes.

[00:31:11] Because whenever I like when they've changed that up now and then.

[00:31:14] Absolutely.

[00:31:15] I mean, we mentioned Twin Peaks.

[00:31:17] That's kind of semi-horror.

[00:31:18] But yeah, every once in a while, I'd be like, whoa, that's very mystical.

[00:31:23] Kurt Smith does a version in one episode.

[00:31:26] The Bollywood style opening credits for the one directed by the Bollywood episode.

[00:31:31] Yeah.

[00:31:32] By J.

[00:31:32] He actually got to start in that episode.

[00:31:35] And I think there was also a different end opening for the murder mystery set in like the 50s or something.

[00:31:43] That's the episode they did.

[00:31:45] It's all black and white.

[00:31:47] Which I really liked that.

[00:31:48] We got to talk about the season three premiere where Sean knows Kung Fu.

[00:31:53] Oh, man.

[00:31:54] It's like, yes, there's a few slurs that wouldn't be okay at any market.

[00:31:59] But I like how he's just making fun of just the ludicrous.

[00:32:01] They cover that with The Intern though.

[00:32:03] So that's true.

[00:32:04] I think it's just an overall funny episode because like everything is like sung in like Japanese.

[00:32:13] Like we mentioned earlier, where they get ahead of any complaints.

[00:32:17] So it's like some of the jokes might fall flat, but they talk about it with The Intern where he's like, that's racist.

[00:32:23] Sean's like, that's not racist.

[00:32:25] And Gus's like, it's a little racist.

[00:32:26] True.

[00:32:27] They acknowledge the insensitivity.

[00:32:29] He's like, we're just making fun of stupid movies everyone saw.

[00:32:33] And they do that in the latest movie as well, where this security guard is like, oh, I find I'm Jeff Dunham funny.

[00:32:42] And particularly one of the jalapeno characters.

[00:32:50] Actually, I said, Sean's just like, hey, that guy's a little bit.

[00:32:56] Yeah, he's a little bit racist.

[00:32:57] Yeah.

[00:33:00] Yeah.

[00:33:01] They acknowledge some other stuff.

[00:33:02] It's almost like a PG version of Tropic Thunder where they're just kind of making fun of the industry in a way.

[00:33:07] It's like, yeah.

[00:33:08] Hey, it's not OK if that guy does it.

[00:33:11] But everyone saw the movie, so it doesn't really matter.

[00:33:14] Fun fact.

[00:33:15] The main the main sensei who they're encountering in that Kung Fu episode was actually the colonel, the Vietnamese colonel who tortures Rambo in the first movie.

[00:33:26] No kidding.

[00:33:27] Because that was filmed in Canada.

[00:33:29] No one will ever get that unless you look at his resume.

[00:33:30] It's like, see, they did some deep, deep dives.

[00:33:34] They probably didn't even intend it.

[00:33:35] It's just that's who was in Vancouver.

[00:33:38] In the episode where where Sean is in a is in institution.

[00:33:47] They have they have Brad ad Dureth who played a Chucky Chucky movie.

[00:33:55] Well, he was in what he's in.

[00:33:58] Yeah, absolutely.

[00:34:00] Absolutely.

[00:34:03] So was it Billy?

[00:34:05] Was that his character's name?

[00:34:06] I think so.

[00:34:07] Yeah.

[00:34:08] I think you're right.

[00:34:10] So I'm kind of curious what everybody if everybody has like a favorite one off guest star because like it's easy to go for a couple of them that came back and got like Kurt Smith.

[00:34:20] Oh, yes.

[00:34:20] A couple of episodes and those were great.

[00:34:22] But there's a good segue.

[00:34:23] There's so many really good.

[00:34:24] They were in one episode, but they would just like.

[00:34:28] Like, do you have a favorite?

[00:34:29] Because I.

[00:34:30] I got.

[00:34:31] I got.

[00:34:31] I got.

[00:34:32] I got a favorite.

[00:34:33] But I'll let her go.

[00:34:34] Like I could.

[00:34:34] I could say a favorite, but at the same time, it's like, oh, but then this person and this person.

[00:34:38] Right.

[00:34:39] Some serious competition.

[00:34:41] John, you want to go first?

[00:34:42] No, I'm not sure.

[00:34:43] Honestly.

[00:34:45] There's so many choices.

[00:34:47] Okay.

[00:34:47] The Arnold Boslow, the mummy guy episode.

[00:34:50] Oh, that's a good one.

[00:34:52] And just the way he's taunting them.

[00:34:54] He's like, I forget what he says exactly verbatim, but I was just like, I was like, speak there.

[00:35:00] If you're going to talk to me behind the prison wall.

[00:35:04] I just love how he's just telling them how to do their job.

[00:35:07] Giving them such answers.

[00:35:09] And meanwhile, they're making fun of how bald he is and how he looks like Billy Zane.

[00:35:15] But.

[00:35:16] And he got to have some fun there, too, because he's basically making fun of how he's the bad guy in every movie and show himself.

[00:35:22] Yeah.

[00:35:23] You do love just, again, those one offs.

[00:35:26] Yeah.

[00:35:26] But when you look and sound like Arnold Boslow, you're going to get cast as a villain.

[00:35:29] You're going to get cast.

[00:35:30] Yeah.

[00:35:31] The South Africans.

[00:35:31] Take that.

[00:35:32] They do it.

[00:35:32] I mean, it's so hard for me to choose one because like we mentioned Gary Cole.

[00:35:37] Jane Lynch as Karen.

[00:35:39] That was a great one.

[00:35:40] Was fantastic.

[00:35:42] Yeah.

[00:35:42] Saul Rubinek was so good.

[00:35:44] But if I have to choose one, I'm going with Jeff Fahey as Dutch the Clutch.

[00:35:49] I loved it, too.

[00:35:50] And it was because he was just fun.

[00:35:52] An evil kid evil type mystery.

[00:35:55] There was a.

[00:35:58] C. Thomas Howell was in one is like a Marshall in one.

[00:36:00] And I thought that was fun because he was actually supposed to play Lassie originally.

[00:36:06] That'd been very different.

[00:36:07] Right.

[00:36:08] It would have been such a different show.

[00:36:09] I'm not sure he would have been ready for it.

[00:36:11] Nice guy and all.

[00:36:12] I've seen him at conventions and still got my autograph somewhere.

[00:36:15] But yeah, I mean, definitely bring back the little diamonds to his character like that.

[00:36:20] It's like they could bring back John Cena.

[00:36:24] Definitely for some of the movies.

[00:36:27] If Corbin Bernson wants to bring some of his major league co-stars in, that'd be funny.

[00:36:32] I'm going to throw out Vinnie Jones.

[00:36:36] The Guy Ritchie style episode.

[00:36:38] Stock.

[00:36:40] The Goblet of Fire.

[00:36:41] Goblet of Fire.

[00:36:42] It's a Harry Potter reference, too.

[00:36:43] It's just.

[00:36:45] I mean, it's almost the same Vinnie Jones character you'll see in most Guy Ritchie.

[00:36:48] He's always a dug.

[00:36:49] But he plays it just so well.

[00:36:51] He's so good at it.

[00:36:53] And then, like you say, you love seeing these guys.

[00:36:56] They're still playing the same kind of role, but they're still winking without forcing it down your throat.

[00:37:02] It's like, OK, I get it.

[00:37:03] I get it.

[00:37:03] It's like, no, that was actually kind of cool.

[00:37:06] I mean, Bruce Davison was great in that Think Tank episode.

[00:37:10] What a twisted episode.

[00:37:12] You know what I mean?

[00:37:13] It was.

[00:37:14] That one had Miguel Ferrer in there, too.

[00:37:16] Oh, yeah.

[00:37:17] That one was right.

[00:37:18] And see, he can do comedy if you've seen Hot Shots, too.

[00:37:21] Yeah, the deadpan.

[00:37:22] Yeah.

[00:37:23] Yeah.

[00:37:23] It's fantastic.

[00:37:26] Yeah.

[00:37:27] They could have gotten some other B-movie or genre guys, and it would have been perfect.

[00:37:31] I'm sure Josh.

[00:37:33] Well, what famous detective actor should they have be on there?

[00:37:37] Oh, Mark.

[00:37:39] There you go.

[00:37:40] Push your lube.

[00:37:41] Complete the crossover.

[00:37:42] Just do it.

[00:37:43] Yeah.

[00:37:43] They just brought him back.

[00:37:45] Don't just hint at it like in the last episode.

[00:37:47] Give us the full crossover.

[00:37:48] Have him have a sit down with Sean.

[00:37:50] Where is Monk based out of?

[00:37:52] Like what city?

[00:37:53] San Francisco.

[00:37:54] Which is where it was set.

[00:37:56] Which is the whole reason why they had the mention in the finale was because they were

[00:38:02] moving to San Francisco.

[00:38:04] There you go.

[00:38:05] Perfect.

[00:38:06] So just have him come in.

[00:38:08] Have him be like working as a counselor now.

[00:38:10] He's trying to pick Sean's.

[00:38:12] Make fun of every TV show that does like a psychiatrist episode.

[00:38:16] Just have them pick their brains.

[00:38:18] It would be a great for those two to play off each other.

[00:38:22] Those two characters trying to solve a crime in their unique ways.

[00:38:27] Yeah.

[00:38:27] They could get some of the other guys who've done like gangster stuff.

[00:38:30] That would be kind of fun if they did more of that.

[00:38:32] Like, hey.

[00:38:35] He's evil.

[00:38:36] No, he's just someone who looks like someone you've seen on TV.

[00:38:41] I forgot David Koechner was in an episode.

[00:38:45] Wasn't Jared Kiso in a, like for a, seriously, he's like at a bar or something, but I swear

[00:38:51] Jared Kiso's in the episode.

[00:38:52] Probably in the background somewhere.

[00:38:54] Yeah.

[00:38:54] He has a line because I swear he's credited, but maybe I'm misremembering the show.

[00:38:59] No, I think.

[00:39:00] Yeah.

[00:39:01] I swear he's in the bar in the cold open of an episode.

[00:39:04] Let's look.

[00:39:07] My favorite.

[00:39:08] You are correct.

[00:39:09] Stealth one.

[00:39:10] He plays a guy named Gabe in a 2010 episode.

[00:39:13] Shibari is not dead, but someone is.

[00:39:15] Oh, yep.

[00:39:16] Okay.

[00:39:17] Good eyes.

[00:39:19] Probably my favorite of like the seven people are going to recognize this person, but it

[00:39:25] was a great one was Joey McIntyre showing up in that episode.

[00:39:29] A lot more than seven people are going to remember or recognize Joey McIntyre.

[00:39:35] Who would have guessed?

[00:39:36] That dream boat.

[00:39:39] I love seeing Gina and Drishen also in the talent show episode.

[00:39:44] Cause like she's losing her shit and she doesn't usually get to do comedy.

[00:39:46] She's usually the damsel.

[00:39:48] So, I mean, everyone challenges themselves in some way, even for a comedy.

[00:39:53] I mean, I'm glad you guys brought up the Peter Weller episode.

[00:39:55] I mean, just cause there needs to be more of those just where there's just some crazy

[00:40:00] guys doing, you know, mind tricks on someone else.

[00:40:04] It's not a, it's not a stretch, but I will say Wade Boggs played himself.

[00:40:10] Yeah.

[00:40:11] Oh, that was a fun one.

[00:40:13] That was one I didn't expect when it happened.

[00:40:16] Danny Glover and his angels in the outfield manager role.

[00:40:21] That was funny.

[00:40:22] McKelty Williamson was in a baseball mystery one.

[00:40:25] That was football.

[00:40:26] He was the football coach.

[00:40:27] I mean, I bet.

[00:40:28] So it was a place kicker.

[00:40:32] Was David Carradine in one?

[00:40:34] No, Robert.

[00:40:36] No, I don't think of someone else.

[00:40:37] There was some other B-Ruby guy who does it.

[00:40:39] I wish David Carradine was.

[00:40:42] I don't remember.

[00:40:43] James Brolin.

[00:40:45] James Brolin.

[00:40:46] I just saw that's one I saw on Saturday.

[00:40:48] I saw the James Brolin one.

[00:40:50] That's the old Western town.

[00:40:52] I know.

[00:40:53] Yeah.

[00:40:54] That was a fun kind of hurrah.

[00:40:55] See what we did there.

[00:40:57] They should get the trailer park boys on there.

[00:41:00] I don't remember what the name of the actor was, but I remember really liking the guy who I who just came into the psych office and told old Sean and Gus that he's already dead.

[00:41:14] Because he believes that someone's going to kill him.

[00:41:18] Oh, yeah.

[00:41:18] Oh, what is his name?

[00:41:20] No, I know.

[00:41:21] Oh, that's right.

[00:41:24] It's a very semi-famous guy who we've seen that much.

[00:41:29] I'm sure.

[00:41:30] He's the Lion Ryan.

[00:41:34] That's the character.

[00:41:35] And I just cannot remember.

[00:41:37] Lion.

[00:41:38] And see, that's the fun, too, is this.

[00:41:41] You type in the keywords just on Google and half the time it comes up right away.

[00:41:45] Oh, man.

[00:41:46] Liar Ryan.

[00:41:47] Also, while you look that up, W. Earl Brown in the season one episode where he's like the escaped car, the ex-con.

[00:41:56] Just because, I mean, W. Earl Brown's great.

[00:41:58] And I always think of him.

[00:41:59] I always think of him from Scream.

[00:42:02] That's where I go with it.

[00:42:03] Yeah.

[00:42:03] It's a weird, it doesn't make sense.

[00:42:05] That's a very weird connection.

[00:42:07] Right.

[00:42:07] It doesn't make sense.

[00:42:08] I never think of him from Scream.

[00:42:09] That's just the connection that I get.

[00:42:10] It's just there, yeah.

[00:42:12] I'm sure they've seen every slasher a million times just for fun.

[00:42:15] But yeah, Lion Ryan would be Jonathan Silverman.

[00:42:19] That's what it was.

[00:42:20] Yeah.

[00:42:21] But.

[00:42:21] Oh, Jim Beaver was in that James Brolin one, too.

[00:42:24] Oh, yeah.

[00:42:25] It was a Deadwood reference.

[00:42:27] Bobby.

[00:42:28] Bobby.

[00:42:28] I really liked the fairy tale episode where you had, where Chai McBride played this,

[00:42:38] this prison guard.

[00:42:41] Yeah.

[00:42:43] Like I was, I, I, I don't, I haven't seen like anything where Chai McBride has ever been

[00:42:49] a star of sign, but I always enjoy him in whatever I see him in.

[00:42:52] Yeah.

[00:42:53] Boston Public, W5O, Narc, all kinds of movies and shows.

[00:42:58] Desmond Pfeiffer.

[00:43:00] Yeah.

[00:43:01] Pushing Daisies.

[00:43:02] Yeah.

[00:43:02] Which he was the star of.

[00:43:04] Right.

[00:43:04] That's as close as you get.

[00:43:06] Yeah.

[00:43:07] Oh, man.

[00:43:08] I enjoyed, uh, Freddie Prince Jr.

[00:43:11] In the, uh.

[00:43:12] That was the episode.

[00:43:14] He was supposed to be a geek and he's got this extremely hot wife and like the secret

[00:43:19] room with all his geek toys.

[00:43:21] So fun fact, my dad had seen parts of it and he wasn't taken to it right away.

[00:43:26] And just like, he always thought it was just kind of needlessly convoluted just to get to

[00:43:30] a easygoing laugh.

[00:43:31] That episode made him a fan.

[00:43:33] He's like, okay, I will actually see more.

[00:43:36] You're seeing Gus go around with Jordy's visor from Star Trek and, uh.

[00:43:41] They had the BSG helmet on.

[00:43:42] They're right.

[00:43:43] They're pushing past some actual Cylons at a convention.

[00:43:45] But then there's some other ones and yeah, there's a brutal murder in it, but it's not

[00:43:49] down to the point where you're like, oh, but you know, send the kids to bed.

[00:43:52] It's just that rare mixer is like, even if you don't get any of the sci-fi space operas

[00:43:57] they're referencing, it's just funny how, yeah, they're getting help from all these geeks

[00:44:01] and.

[00:44:02] There's just, there's all this subtexting and just fleshing out what could easily be a

[00:44:09] joke.

[00:44:10] Any of us could write, you know, it's, I like how they just took us down a rabbit hole

[00:44:15] and you're like, I need to watch that again.

[00:44:17] That's, that's a hoot.

[00:44:19] Also Ed, Ed Lover playing himself in Last Night.

[00:44:23] Come on, son.

[00:44:26] Anthony Anderson was in a pretty good one too.

[00:44:29] Malcolm McDowell in Sean rescues Darth Vader.

[00:44:36] He was definitely hamming it up big time there.

[00:44:39] He was.

[00:44:39] Oh, he is a complete ham and it's, it's wonderful.

[00:44:42] Yeah.

[00:44:44] Oh man.

[00:44:45] Uh, I know the main Stargate command guy, Donis Davis was in one of the first few episodes.

[00:44:51] Yeah.

[00:44:54] Curtis Armstrong.

[00:44:55] I forgot about Booger.

[00:44:56] Yeah.

[00:44:57] Curtis is in one.

[00:44:58] Metatron.

[00:44:59] Metatron.

[00:45:01] Another supernatural connection.

[00:45:03] Yeah.

[00:45:03] Do you guys remember the one with Sarah Sehe?

[00:45:07] Yes.

[00:45:07] Yes.

[00:45:08] Yeah.

[00:45:08] And, and, uh, and Steve Howey, right.

[00:45:11] It's both of them.

[00:45:12] Right.

[00:45:13] Cause weren't they married at the time?

[00:45:14] Oh, that's right.

[00:45:15] Yeah.

[00:45:16] And.

[00:45:17] Or maybe they actually met on, they might've met on set of site.

[00:45:21] Maybe you're right.

[00:45:21] They were married in 09.

[00:45:22] But they were married.

[00:45:23] Yeah.

[00:45:23] Yeah.

[00:45:24] So fun fact.

[00:45:25] Uh, like at one point I just was guffawing and I know this was a few years before she

[00:45:29] was on that show.

[00:45:30] At one point she talks to the guy and says, you're a person of interest.

[00:45:34] I'm like, Oh, how they predict careers.

[00:45:40] The one gal who they had at the retirement home, like she's done a lot of things and she

[00:45:46] went on to be like do various X-Files guest spots and was one of the apes in the new

[00:45:51] planet apes movies.

[00:45:53] Cause I wouldn't remember that one where it's kind of, they do so many cuckoo's nest parodies,

[00:45:58] but one of the first ones they did where they're trying to sneak into a retirement home.

[00:46:03] I don't, I don't remember it.

[00:46:05] No.

[00:46:06] I know, I know which episode you're talking about.

[00:46:08] Okay.

[00:46:08] Yeah.

[00:46:10] They're having to get past her at the front desk and just the way she's taunting them.

[00:46:14] It's just like, let's see.

[00:46:16] Cause they've got a, that's the one where they sneak Henry in, right?

[00:46:19] That's right.

[00:46:20] Yes.

[00:46:21] Yeah.

[00:46:22] That's the one with Curtis Armstrong.

[00:46:23] Yeah.

[00:46:24] Oh, there you go.

[00:46:25] It all comes around.

[00:46:26] That's right.

[00:46:26] Okay.

[00:46:27] So that's the one he's in.

[00:46:28] Yes.

[00:46:29] Oh man.

[00:46:32] There is actually, I'm sure Josh has seen this one.

[00:46:35] Uh, you've seen them all, but like there is one.

[00:46:38] Yeah.

[00:46:38] I saw them all when they aired.

[00:46:40] Yeah.

[00:46:41] There's one particular one where it's like, they just start randomly just listing off all

[00:46:45] the sexy detectives.

[00:46:49] They just start writing them off.

[00:46:50] Mariska.

[00:46:51] They start purring in here like, that's nice.

[00:46:55] Elizabeth Rom.

[00:46:56] Yes, please.

[00:47:00] I got a question for the, for the panel.

[00:47:02] Cause it hasn't even really been brought up.

[00:47:03] Hey, what's your opinion of Ali Sheedy in her role as Yang?

[00:47:09] You know, I, I really liked her.

[00:47:12] I liked her.

[00:47:13] It wasn't fleshed out at first, but I really loved it.

[00:47:15] I loved the, the Yang saga.

[00:47:18] I hated that they, they killed her in the musical film.

[00:47:23] Oh, that's right.

[00:47:24] Yeah.

[00:47:25] But if it's a musical, it maybe it didn't happen.

[00:47:27] It was, it's off season.

[00:47:29] Steve Franks has said, has said it's canon.

[00:47:32] So he, which is annoying.

[00:47:35] Cause I'm like, it would be cool for them to end off the, off the Yin Yang saga with

[00:47:41] her being like the villain in one of the movies.

[00:47:43] I think what do we do to change his mind?

[00:47:47] Outside of that though.

[00:47:48] I do like the, like the musical.

[00:47:51] Oh, a lot though.

[00:47:53] Right.

[00:47:54] I wasn't expecting her to be a big part of it, but it was, she was the center of the

[00:47:58] musical as far as leading the plot forward.

[00:48:00] Who else are you going to sing about?

[00:48:01] And they did have Jen Nelson in another one.

[00:48:04] So that almost kind of completed most of the Rat Pack reunion.

[00:48:11] We'll return after these messages.

[00:48:16] Hey, it's Brent Pope, the host of Brentfist with Brent Pope.

[00:48:19] You've seen me on some of your favorite TV shows saying things like, give it up, Jimmy.

[00:48:23] You got to sink this putt to win.

[00:48:24] On Brentfist with Brent Pope, I sit down with guests from the entertainment world and we

[00:48:28] do it all over breakfast.

[00:48:45] Do you ever find yourself thinking about who would win in a fight between Goku and Superman?

[00:48:50] Hi, I'm James Gavsey.

[00:48:51] And on the who would win show, me and my co-host Ray ignore anything important happening in the

[00:48:55] outside world and debate fictional battles between characters from comics, movies, and

[00:48:59] video games.

[00:49:00] We got a new show every week and almost always am I the winner.

[00:49:04] Yeah, not true, Ray.

[00:49:05] In the past, we've discussed such matches as Captain America versus Darth Vader, Solid

[00:49:10] Snake versus the Iron Giant, classic matchups like Robocop versus Terminator, and even the

[00:49:16] Muppets versus Sesame Street.

[00:49:17] That one was crazy.
