Speaker 8 ABC Wednesday, Shifting Gears is back.

Speaker 9 Here's a risk. Tim Allen and Kat Dennings return in television's number one new comedy.

Speaker 10 What what?

Speaker 3 With a star-studded premiere, including Jenna Elfman, Nancy Travis, and Hey Buddy, a big home improvement reunion.

Speaker 14 Welcome.

Speaker 3 Oh boy.

Speaker 14 That guy's a tool.

Speaker 11 Shifting gears, season premiere Wednesday, 8-7 Central on ABC and stream on Hulu.

Speaker 20 Find out how long it takes June and I to watch Task, the rules about smoking in medical facilities, and a film whose post-production took 37 years.

Speaker 26 All this and more on today's How Did This Get Made?

Speaker 3 Last Looks, hit the theme.

Speaker 2 I took a look.

Speaker 2 My name was Paul,

Speaker 2 and I did not like what I saw.

Speaker 2 But you know, we gotta look again. Last looks, last looks.

Speaker 30 Hello, all you twins with psychic connections.

Speaker 27 It's me, Paul the Ripper.

Speaker 33 And welcome to How Did This Get Made?

Speaker 17 Last Looks, where you, the listener, get to voice your issues on Jack's Back, a movie that Discord user AFED thinks should have instead been called A Tale of Two Spaders.

Speaker 39 Okay, I like it.

Speaker 41 Thank you, AFED, for that movie title.

Speaker 19 Wouldn't it be great if they just started completely disregarding character names and specifics for the titles of films and just started calling them by the actors that were in them, like, you know, Denzel Train movie?

Speaker 20 First of all, don't know why I'm referencing Unstoppable. I think that movie came out like 15 years ago.

Speaker 21 But

Speaker 30 maybe it would bring more ants to the cinema.

Speaker 18 Speaking of which,

Speaker 25 do you think people were upset this week when they saw like the Mandalorian and Groguru trailer?

Speaker 18 And then I think for a large grouping of people, they may have been confused. They may have been like, Grogu, who's that?

Speaker 19 You know, shouldn't it be like Mandalorian and Baby Yoda?

Speaker 33 And that's what I'm getting at, people.

Speaker 19 Let's dumb it down more, okay?

Speaker 50 It's not enough.

Speaker 33 It's not enough that people are considering putting television shows on TikTok in 90-second intervals.

Speaker 20 They're called microdramas.

Speaker 19 By the way, have you watched a microdrama?

Speaker 45 These things are nuts.

Speaker 19 It's like the drama of 80s late night TV, like Dynasty and Falcon Crest, mixed with like the acting of

Speaker 54 porn back when porn cared.

Speaker 42 Um, all right, a big shout out to Judy Ford.

Speaker 20 Wow, we're still in the opening for that opening theme song.

Speaker 39 Thank you, Judy.

Speaker 44 Remember, if you have an alt movie title or tagline, submit it to us on our Discord at discord.gg/slash HDTGM.

Speaker 59 And if you have a Last Looks theme song, go to HDTGM and click the submit a song button on our homepage.

Speaker 57 And remember, keep them short.

Speaker 36 If you're listening to the show, you know what you like.

Speaker 16 15, 20 seconds.

Speaker 27 That's what we want.

Speaker 40 Okay.

Speaker 35 Big show today.

Speaker 47 Tom Sharpling, host of The Best Show, will be joining us in just a bit.

Speaker 19 If you don't know Tom, you might remember him from our Avengers episode.

Speaker 44 But if you're not listening to The Best Show, what are you doing?

Speaker 16 25 years on the air.

Speaker 62 We're going to talk to him about his Grown-Ups 3 script, which he wrote on spec.

Speaker 25 over a weekend that got a lot of buzz online.

Speaker 17 And he's going to tell us how it

Speaker 16 got to a lot of the members of the cast.

Speaker 44 We also are going to talk about the best show tour.

Speaker 3 Also,

Speaker 31 I guess this is a great time to mention how did this get made is going on the road.

Speaker 39 We're going to be in New York and we're going to be in Philadelphia, but that's not all.

Speaker 19 Dinosaur is going on the road, and we have a great cast, okay?

Speaker 44 Edie Patterson from The Righteous Gemstones.

Speaker 3 You got Danielle Schneider from Garbage World.

Speaker 55 Oh, yeah.

Speaker 57 You also also have Mary Holland, who is amazing in everything that she does, recently on Ghosts.

Speaker 53 Me, Jason, Rob Hubel, Rob Wriggle is joining us in D.C.

Speaker 43 So come see Dinosaur in Boston, D.C.,

Speaker 55 and by the time this recording, maybe even New York. Just check out hdtgm.com for our tour info or go to dinosaur improv or go to my website.

Speaker 47 There's plenty of places for you to get the links for the tickets for these shows that are happening in November.

Speaker 17 And if you just want to come see us in Los Angeles, you can do that too, because we have shows October 22nd and 23rd at Largo and a dinosaur show on the 24th.

Speaker 53 Boy, oh boy, I love

Speaker 46 doing live shows.

Speaker 45 Just kind of want to continue giving some love to Avril Halley, who is recovering from brain cancer.

Speaker 65 Avril is one of our,

Speaker 3 you know,

Speaker 57 support beams of this show.

Speaker 19 And I am just constantly blown away by the amount of love that people have been sending her way, whether it's an email by emailing her partner Andrew at moviebitches.xyz or by snail mail.

Speaker 45 People have been sending wonderful things to her at P.O. Box641 Agora Hills, California, 91376.

Speaker 19 She appreciates it.

Speaker 62 And we have been getting some really amazing updates.

Speaker 45 She is on the mend and recovering, and so we just want to continue to send her love.

Speaker 18 All right, let's get into it.

Speaker 19 Last week, we talked at length about Jack's back.

Speaker 45 Well, we had questions, and we might have even missed a few things.

Speaker 18 Here is your chance to set us straight.

Speaker 36 Fact-check us, if you will.

Speaker 18 It is now time for corrections and omissions.

Speaker 20 Hit the damn theme.

Speaker 66 Corrections and omissions

Speaker 3 are not what words you want to hear from us.

Speaker 3 Don't disconnect the discord

Speaker 2 to elude a countability.

Speaker 3 Then,

Speaker 2 how

Speaker 52 could your fans express just how we feel?

Speaker 2 Your dumb words are all you had to say to be so wrong.

Speaker 2 Now Paul has to eat some shit

Speaker 2 and say we're right.

Speaker 2 But we

Speaker 2 all

Speaker 2 ready.

Speaker 2 No.

Speaker 18 Thank you, Benjamin Helton, for that theme song.

Speaker 44 I loved Extreme.

Speaker 55 Extreme, well, I don't know if I love them.

Speaker 19 I liked them. Was Extreme the band that had like the two trains crashing crashing out of the station?

Speaker 41 Was that the cover of the album?

Speaker 55 I think.

Speaker 3 I don't know.

Speaker 50 Why am I asking you?

Speaker 53 You can't answer, and I'm not going to Google it.

Speaker 19 So if I'm wrong, please send me a written letter.

Speaker 25 I will open it in a couple of weeks, and I will look at it with shame or delight.

Speaker 18 All right, on the Discord, Ghostbag, great name, says this.

Speaker 45 Is the reason for the constant haze in this film due to everyone in it smoking?

Speaker 33 Cigarettes are constant from Sydney smoking in the doctor's office to,

Speaker 55 by the way,

Speaker 20 I'm really going out of sides.

Speaker 44 I just saw Jaws, the 50th anniversary of Jaws.

Speaker 56 There's some smoking in the ER in that movie as well.

Speaker 50 Wild.

Speaker 18 The amount of cigarettes, I would say, yeah, Jaws is a problem, but secondhand smoke is really, really the issue in that movie.

Speaker 19 Okay, so they say, yes, Sydney was smoking the doctor's office to the customer that Darkspader assists in the mall shoe store.

Speaker 47 I was 13 in 1988 and I lived in California, so I do remember people smoking in public places, but never inside medical facilities and stores.

Speaker 19 Weird times. Well, yeah, look,

Speaker 20 if it was in JAWS, I'm going to believe that people were smoking in ERs.

Speaker 18 Man, hell, people are smoking on planes.

Speaker 17 I mean, if you look on most planes, they still have that ashtray thing there as if it might come back.

Speaker 55 And who knows?

Speaker 57 The way things are going lately, you know, one day someone could be like, yay, you know what?

Speaker 19 We actually figured out smoking in an airplane is good for your lungs.

Speaker 57 Actually, you should smoke in an airplane now.

Speaker 67 And we'll do it.

Speaker 23 And it will just be back and people will be upset about it, but we'll just have to embrace it.

Speaker 25 Megan writes, Second Soul is actually a shoe store that I go to in Akron, Ohio.

Speaker 25 It is indeed a running shoe store, and it's distinct from the chain of other running shoe stores in Northeast Ohio, also named Second Soul.

Speaker 25 The chain of stores predates this in the movie, which makes me wonder if Rowdy Harrington was driving through

Speaker 45 Ohio one day and decided to put it in the movie.

Speaker 68 Well, Megan, if you're telling me that there are two chains of stores called Second Soul in Ohio, I just feel like it's people being really lazy about naming their shoe store.

Speaker 65 Like, and by the way, Second Soul means, is it just a shoe store for shoes that you're not wearing on the reg?

Speaker 43 Anyway, I love it.

Speaker 59 Dove rights, as Paul discussed.

Speaker 52 Oh, I love when it's about me.

Speaker 59 Paul discussed the original plan was to call the movie Red Rain, but they couldn't get the rights to Peter Gabriel's song of the same name to run over the opening titles.

Speaker 45 So Harrington scrapped this idea and had a sound-alike song made.

Speaker 25 The new song was Red Harvest, but he didn't call the movie by that name.

Speaker 18 He went with Jack's back instead.

Speaker 19 Why? Because if they'd gone with Red Harvest, they would have been using the title of a famous Dashel Hammett novel to make a completely unrelated movie.

Speaker 45 Hammett's Red Harvest did inspire Kurosawa's Yojimbo, which in turn inspired Sier Giulioni's A Fist Full of Dollars, and the Bruce Willis movie, Last Man Standing.

Speaker 43 Good movie, if I remember it correctly.

Speaker 44 Remember when we made a lot of Westerns?

Speaker 64 Like there was a time, like in that early 90s, like The Quick and the Dead, Tombstone, Wyatt Earp, Last Man Standing.

Speaker 43 And there was that other one.

Speaker 45 There's another one in that mix, too, that was kind of popular.

Speaker 51 Yeah, we really got...

Speaker 31 Bring them back. We haven't made a Western in a long time.

Speaker 53 Somebody, go make that.

Speaker 21 Maybe I will.

Speaker 59 Anyway, let's go to the phones.

Speaker 65 What do we got?

Speaker 45 First one up is, oh, my favorite caller, Anonymous.

Speaker 69 Hey, Paul, longtime fan. Love you guys.
Love your show. Love the league.

Speaker 69 I'm a longtime Cubs fan, and you seem to wonder why there was a Cubs reference in your latest review of Jacksback.

Speaker 69 And that's because from, I think it was from like 1921 to 1951, the Cubs did their spring training on Catalina Island. And

Speaker 69 Wrigley,

Speaker 69 a senior, he bought the PCL Angels and constructed essentially another Wrigley field. in LA.

Speaker 69 So

Speaker 69 you can search it and find it and all that good stuff. So I hope that that answers your question as to why there's a Cubs tag and why there's a Cubs link to LA.

Speaker 69 Anyway, love the show. Love you guys.
June is great in weapons, and I look forward to seeing whatever you guys do next.

Speaker 52 Talk to you later. Wow.

Speaker 20 First of all, great, great observation.

Speaker 18 I don't think it was that specific.

Speaker 41 I think

Speaker 41 the path of least resistance is that

Speaker 18 he could have been born in Chicago.

Speaker 63 I guess was it established where they were born?

Speaker 43 I don't know.

Speaker 19 I don't think anyone is a fan of a team that does spring training on Catalina Island.

Speaker 26 I mean, I know that the Dallas Cowboys practice in Oxnard.

Speaker 50 I'm not seeing a lot of Cowboy fans out here.

Speaker 61 Anyway, I love that deep research.

Speaker 35 Thank you, Anonymous.

Speaker 19 Next up, Peter from New York.

Speaker 69 Hey, how's it going, Maid? Love the show. Just wanted to do one small correction.

Speaker 69 I was watching Jack Spack with my wife, and during the film and after the film, she and I discussed multiple times how odd it was that in the 80s, the rooted up foosball man

Speaker 69 was doing these back alley abortions because abortion in the 80s in California was definitely legal.

Speaker 69 And the sex worker did not need to pay $200 for an abortion in a hotel room because she could have just gone to Plant and Parenthood, which was, I'm pretty certain, still in operation.

Speaker 69 So that makes almost no sense maybe less sense or maybe just as much just as little sense as the noose being ready in the weird church auditorium in the hospital anyway i love the show can't wait to you guys come to new york have a good one wow good question well uh peter dove from our discord actually had the same question as you and rewound the movie to find out an answer you see dove says that sydney aka dr shouty mcasshole shouted at the sex worker at the clinic and said she was two weeks past the legal limit.

Speaker 43 So that's why she had to rely on Jack for the abortion, although she didn't appear to be that pregnant in the scene.

Speaker 18 So

Speaker 57 she would have to be 24 weeks pregnant.

Speaker 56 I would imagine you are showing at 24 weeks.

Speaker 3 So

Speaker 50 again,

Speaker 33 let's get into it.

Speaker 30 I need to know more about the abortion laws in California and especially the abortion laws back then.

Speaker 64 But you know what?

Speaker 19 I feel like we have gone so deep on this and I'm so impressed.

Speaker 58 I don't think we can top it.

Speaker 39 So maybe we just switch up the segment right now and go to a quick Ask Paul.

Speaker 3 That's right.

Speaker 64 A chance for you to ask me an unrelated question to Jack Spack.

Speaker 55 So Mel, what's on your mind?

Speaker 69 Hey, Paul, how are you doing? I just had a couple quick questions for you. Number one, I've noticed throughout the years that you and June have very distinct laughs, but they seem to mimic each other.

Speaker 69 Yours seems to be more like when you're laughing really hard, it's like,

Speaker 69 and June's is more like,

Speaker 69 so I'm just curious, who adopted whose laugh pattern? Did you start it when you first met? Did she start it when it first met?

Speaker 69 You know, it's almost like when you adopt a pet and you start to look alike. One of you is copying the other.
So I'm just curious, who is the origin source?

Speaker 69 The second question is, I'm a huge fan of Shark Tank. I'm also a huge fan of The Prophet.
I know you're a fan of The Prophet as well. And now there's a new market show called The Fixer.

Speaker 69 And I'm watching it now on YouTube. You can find all the episodes for free, easy peasy.

Speaker 69 It's a little bit different, but I'm just curious, what are your general thoughts on The Fixer?

Speaker 69 Again, thanks so much for doing the podcast. I've been to your live show many times and huge fan, brother.
Take care.

Speaker 55 Interesting.

Speaker 52 I've never noticed that.

Speaker 59 Maybe we do. That's very cute.

Speaker 43 I love June's laugh.

Speaker 39 Well, okay.

Speaker 50 Well, I'm now going to pay attention to it.

Speaker 16 I'm not going to tell June.

Speaker 19 I'm going to do a little research on my own.

Speaker 64 I have not watched the new Marcus Limona show, The Fixer.

Speaker 19 I love Marcus.

Speaker 30 We were going to have Marcus on the show at one point

Speaker 19 because we were just huge fans.

Speaker 22 I should, I should watch it.

Speaker 42 I don't have, I wish I had a better answer.

Speaker 46 No, the answer is no, I have not watched it.

Speaker 50 And I was thinking, why haven't haven't I watched it?

Speaker 20 And I was like, well, I really don't even watch TV anymore.

Speaker 19 So I'd really have to go out of my way to find it.

Speaker 45 I had no idea that it was called The Fixer.

Speaker 25 And is it different than like Bar Rescue?

Speaker 19 Or is it like the same thing as Bar Rescue?

Speaker 56 Either way, you have now gotten me very excited to watch a brand new show.

Speaker 63 Now can I convince my wife with the same laugh to put aside Task, a show that we are.

Speaker 19 really getting through at a slow pace because for June and I to watch a show together, she'll normally fall asleep during an hour-long episode.

Speaker 62 So it takes us, I would say, three days to get through a 45-minute to 60-minute show.

Speaker 43 We very rarely watch shows together.

Speaker 47 We have decided that task is the one.

Speaker 63 And I have watched the first episode now,

Speaker 55 wow, four times.

Speaker 39 Got better and better.

Speaker 39 I did.

Speaker 3 I went from being like, I'm okay with this show to, I actually, I think I like it.

Speaker 56 Now I'm in. I do like the show.

Speaker 25 And that is someone who has watched episode one a handful of times and is on the third viewing of episode two.

Speaker 39 All right.

Speaker 40 Back to the Discord.

Speaker 19 Rocket Wesker writes, when they said Darkspader was an Army medic, I thought the movie was going to make him utilize his medical skill in some way, like impersonating his brother at the clinic or using medical knowledge to analyze the evidence in crime scene.

Speaker 45 But no, it's just used to make police think that he's a suspect and his medical skill was never brought up again.

Speaker 45 He used past gangster skills and shoe salesman skills to solve the case, but Army medic, not so much.

Speaker 61 Thank you, Rocket Wesker. Good call there.

Speaker 43 Dang Tootin.

Speaker 49 Regarding Paul and Jason's reminiscence of the 1980s, doll, my buddy, I have a great story to share.

Speaker 19 For the first years of my life, my parents always referred to my penis as a buddy for some reason.

Speaker 52 Okay, sounds like a Paul story.

Speaker 50 And now they might be, you know,

Speaker 49 like, hey, you're holding your buddy.

Speaker 47 Do you have to pee?

Speaker 19 Naturally, I assume that a penis is called a buddy. So you can imagine my eight-year-old shock when I first saw the commercial for a doll called my buddy.

Speaker 17 The next day at school, I went up to my friends and said, have you guys seen that commercial for my buddy?

Speaker 67 I can't believe that.

Speaker 55 And they were like,

Speaker 55 what's the issue?

Speaker 39 And I was like, the toy is named after a penis.

Speaker 43 And everyone was like, What the hell are you talking about?

Speaker 45 And that's when I started to question the validity of buddy buddy being a euphemism for penis.

Speaker 52 And I saw my parents in a different light.

Speaker 42 Ha ha.

Speaker 60 Dang Tootin, great story, great share, very Paul sheer-coated, and I appreciate that.

Speaker 56 And that's going to really weigh in today as I take

Speaker 18 stock of who had the best correction and omission.

Speaker 50 And I got to tell you, you know what?

Speaker 49 It is going to be Dang Tootin because never in the history of this show has someone shared their own Paul story.

Speaker 25 Yeah, people have come out of the woodwork to say that they, you know, kissed their mom and they want to support me in that, but no one ever put it in a corrections and omissions.

Speaker 55 So, Dang Tootin, you are our winner.

Speaker 25 And Rob from Long Island's got a great theme.

Speaker 53 Hit it.

Speaker 53 Hey, you, congratulations.

Speaker 28 You won a nice vacation and an in-ground pool and a car.

Speaker 28 But we gave it away to a charity because we all know just how selfless a person you are.

Speaker 28 But we don't want to send you away empty-handed. That's not what this all is about.

Speaker 28 So, here, take the garbage with you as you leave. And don't let the door hit your ass on the way out.

Speaker 28 You win!

Speaker 59 All right, stick around because when we are back, we got Tom Sharpling and some other really fun surprises.

Speaker 57 Remember, if you want to leave a message about the movie that we're talking about, not like an old movie, just keep it, you know, current, you can go to our Discord and you can always give me a call, ask me a question about life, Marcus Lamonis, or leave a correction and omission about the movie that we talked to at 619-P-A-U-L-A-S-K.

Speaker 46 That's 619-Paul Ask.

Speaker 50 And by the way, I want to ask you a question.

Speaker 39 Are you watching the dark web every Monday?

Speaker 19 Rob Hubel and I take on the internet.

Speaker 49 That's right.

Speaker 30 And we have some special shows coming up.

Speaker 25 We've broken format and

Speaker 45 oh man, I can't even tease it until we get there, but it's going to be, it's one of my favorite things that we've done.

Speaker 72 I can't wait.

Speaker 51 Hopefully, it comes out good.

Speaker 73 It's a big swing.

Speaker 67 Anyway, we'll be right back.

Speaker 8 ABC Wednesday, Shifting Gears is back.

Speaker 9 He has arisen. Tim Allen and Kat Dennings return in television's number one new comedy.

Speaker 10 What what?

Speaker 11 With a star-studded premiere, including Jenna Elfman, Nancy Travis, and

Speaker 4 hey, buddy!

Speaker 13 A big home improvement reunion.

Speaker 14 Welcome.

Speaker 3 Oh, boy.

Speaker 14 That guy's a tool.

Speaker 15 Shifting Gears, Season Premiere Wednesday, 8-7 Central on ABC and stream on Hulu.

Speaker 67 Hope you are checking out our matinees.

Speaker 17 All right, because every week we put up an old episode.

Speaker 19 This week we did Deadfall, which was a Nicholas Cage film, right?

Speaker 30 One of the most unhinged performances from him.

Speaker 47 And next week, we are going to be talking about the Mariah Carey flop glitter with Adam Scott, Casey Wilson, and Dan Levy.

Speaker 63 So keep on checking out all of our replays of classic episodes every Tuesday.

Speaker 55 Okay, but now enough about all that.

Speaker 52 Let's have a chat.

Speaker 25 A chat with somebody that I think is

Speaker 71 truly an inventor of the podcast game.

Speaker 19 And I feel bad calling it a podcast because Tom Sharpling has been doing the best show for 25 years. Started off as a radio show on WFMU.

Speaker 62 He is a writer who has worked on on such varied shows as What We Do in Shadows and Monk.

Speaker 19 He has a brand new show coming out with Matt Berry from What We Do in Shadows and Natasha Leon. We're going to talk about that in just a bit.

Speaker 19 But more importantly, he is going to be taking best show on the road to celebrate this giant anniversary.

Speaker 62 So without any further ado, please welcome to the show the one, the only, the great Tom Sharpling.

Speaker 52 For the last 25 years, this man

Speaker 35 has been running

Speaker 18 truly

Speaker 42 a pioneering show.

Speaker 36 I'm not even going to call it a podcast because it didn't even start as a podcast. I started a radio show.

Speaker 22 This is entertainment.

Speaker 17 It is every Tuesday.

Speaker 61 It's live. It's great.

Speaker 44 Tom Sharpling, happy 25 years of the best show.

Speaker 3 Wow. Wow.
Wow.

Speaker 74 That's too much.

Speaker 3 I can't.

Speaker 75 I did something wrong, clearly.

Speaker 16 I mean, this is the thing about you, Tom, and this show.

Speaker 67 You're a radio man.

Speaker 76 You're just, you're a radio man.

Speaker 77 Yeah, I'm just an old

Speaker 78 DJ sitting in the like Wolfman Jack in American graffiti.

Speaker 27 Yes. Ooh, in the dark.

Speaker 76 Tom,

Speaker 76 just because I feel like the show is such a phenomenal meld of whatever you're interested in doing in that moment and talking through bits or talking through bands.

Speaker 18 Like, what were like, what did you, what did you listen to?

Speaker 76 Like, was there stuff that you were, were you someone who was like, oh, I am like listening to phil hendry or i am listening to um

Speaker 80 uh you know or is it like a just a regular it's howard stern or it's like terrestrial radio or whatever yeah it was a lot of different things it was um i didn't listen to phil hendry that was a west coast thing and i was new jersey and then when i heard about phil hendry I was like, strangely enough, I was like, I don't want to hear it because I feel like it would be too much of an influence.

Speaker 74 I've kind of never heard Phil Hendry to this day.

Speaker 27 How about Joe Frank?

Speaker 3 Joe Frank.

Speaker 84 I heard plenty of Joe Frank on WFMU because they aired Joe Frank on WFM.

Speaker 76 That's how I used to listen to it. That's, you know,

Speaker 27 it was incredible.

Speaker 71 And Joe Frank was, was about

Speaker 74 what you could do with audio to me in terms of like he was doing a completely different thing that I would never even be able to do.

Speaker 87 But I knew it was like, oh, this guy's taking full advantage of the medium. And that was the exciting part of that.

Speaker 25 And for people who've never heard the show, I just want to give them an idea of what they're in store for every episode, or at least the idea.

Speaker 33 Like you're going to come in with a topic, whatever that topic might be.

Speaker 16 You're going to introduce a topic. You're going to be talking to people.

Speaker 33 And then somewhere in the middle of the show, you're going to get a phone call.

Speaker 16 from an interesting character, somebody who might, you think, oh, well, this person, this is calling in. A lot of them have hailed from Newbridge, New Jersey.

Speaker 58 And you'll interact with this character.

Speaker 36 And this is like the centerpiece of the show where it's like when I first started to listen to you, I was on these CDs.

Speaker 20 I had these CDs, the best of these phone calls.

Speaker 19 It's you and John Worcester,

Speaker 48 who you might know as the, used to be the drummer for Super Chunk.

Speaker 57 And these are some of the funniest big sketches.

Speaker 19 They remind me of Nichols and May.

Speaker 25 They remind me of, you know, interview with the, you know, was it 1,000-year-old man or 2,000-2,000-year-old man?

Speaker 16 Yeah, 2,000-year-old man.

Speaker 33 You know, like it has that vibe where it's like these long 30, 30, 40-minute bits that they start off in one direction and then they just morph and you're just in this zone and these characters come back.

Speaker 16 It's so much fun to listen to.

Speaker 44 And opposed to many other shows and even Phil Hendry himself.

Speaker 33 It's just you and John. So it really is this duo.

Speaker 16 It's, it really, you know, it's not like, oh, and next week you have in so-and-so and they're doing a funny call.

Speaker 35 I think that that's one of the things that makes the show kind of so fun and unique, too.

Speaker 3 Oh, well, thank you.

Speaker 90 That's, yeah, no, John and I hit on something early, and other like there were stretches where other people called in and would do funny stuff.

Speaker 70 Um, like John Benjamin would do stuff, uh, Sam Seder and John Glazer, and Andy Earls. And, but then there was a point where I was just like,

Speaker 80 the thing that me and John are doing is the thing, and I kind of need to just focus on that being the thing.

Speaker 74 And doing that was

Speaker 86 just kind of validated the the thing that me and John have.

Speaker 85 And then we were just partners forever.

Speaker 52 It's so fun.

Speaker 41 Just listen to it. Listen to

Speaker 19 a best show.

Speaker 16 25 years.

Speaker 19 You're going on the road.

Speaker 74 I'm very excited about it. We're going to do the Bell House and New York and LA and Chicago and Philadelphia.

Speaker 82 It'll be super fun.

Speaker 80 Cause we don't, we're, John lives in North Carolina and I used to live in New Jersey and I lived in, now I'm in Los Angeles.

Speaker 81 So we've never done the show from the same place outside of like a very small window where John lived in New York, but we're not together for the most part.

Speaker 83 And this will be us being together.

Speaker 70 So it's pretty, pretty.

Speaker 27 That's very, so it's really unique. Yeah, that's cool.

Speaker 76 I would love to see that.

Speaker 59 That's great.

Speaker 16 These shows are 10-11, 10-12, 10-13, 10-15, and 10-21.

Speaker 88 That's Brooklyn, Philly, LA, and Chicago.

Speaker 33 Now, I do, I want to go in a different direction just for a second.

Speaker 19 For people who don't know, not only are you this

Speaker 61 showman, but you also are a great writer.

Speaker 16 You've written many television episodes.

Speaker 35 You've created shows.

Speaker 44 But the thing I think about a lot, and I was referencing it just the other day, was you wrote a script for Grown Ups 3

Speaker 57 on spec.

Speaker 34 Just you embraced the universe

Speaker 33 and got a Grown Ups 3 spec out there, which I have to say,

Speaker 33 it was one of those bits. I mean, is it a bit?

Speaker 34 I mean, I don't know. Is it a bit?

Speaker 40 I don't, you you know, it, it could work.

Speaker 18 It could work. This grown-up story could work.

Speaker 86 I was going through a thing at a point.

Speaker 74 And, you know, it came down to ultimately was, you know, when you make a joke with a friend, and then you're just like, oh, what if this existed?

Speaker 73 Can you imagine that?

Speaker 84 And you joke about it and you laugh.

Speaker 70 And then there's always that moment where you're just like, what if I actually did?

Speaker 85 write that and you then you're like no i'm not gonna actually do that

Speaker 93 but then i was like yeah i'm kind of

Speaker 86 got some free time right now, and I'm enjoying being by myself.

Speaker 72 Like, I guess it was not a great stretch.

Speaker 71 So, I just spent a weekend and I wrote it over a weekend.

Speaker 83 I wrote like this 55-page script in like two days.

Speaker 3 It just poured out.

Speaker 74 And then it was Jason, Jason Wallner, who was the person I was joking about it with. And then I was like, hey, Jason, I wrote that script.

Speaker 3 And then

Speaker 79 and I sent it to him. And he was like, well, this is insane.

Speaker 80 Oh my god, and then I started sending it around,

Speaker 89 and then people are like, It turned into like this weird Rorschach test with Adam Sandler.

Speaker 74 Some people were just like, read it, and then they go, Oh my God, I hate Adam Sandler so much, and I can tell how much you hate him because of this script.

Speaker 70 And other people are like, man, I love those movies too. And I can just see, there's so much love for what he does in here.

Speaker 71 Like, people saw what they wanted to see in it.

Speaker 80 It was really fascinating.

Speaker 33 Well, Well, I think that you captured a tone that is like, and I guess either way that you look at it, have you, have you like I go to the map for Hubie Halloween.

Speaker 72 I think it really made me laugh.

Speaker 55 It's a very funny movie.

Speaker 16 And people get mad at me for saying that, but I am not taking it back.

Speaker 37 Well, they should not get, Paul, they got to cut you some slack with this.

Speaker 3 You know what you're talking about.

Speaker 79 It's a fun movie.

Speaker 53 Fun.

Speaker 27 It's fun.

Speaker 27 I will not.

Speaker 76 I will not stand here and let you guys promote Hubie Halloween one more second because we all know

Speaker 3 Hubble it should be Hubble

Speaker 17 by the way we're not just referencing something you cannot read

Speaker 41 the yeah if you go to the the best best show for life website you can read grown-ups three it's uh following around yeah it yeah it was one of those things where like it started to like

Speaker 89 make it make the rounds a little bit yeah and then people who were in it some people read it who are in it that's what i was gonna wonder next.

Speaker 76 Yeah.

Speaker 70 I know Nick Swartzden read it.

Speaker 82 He was just like, this is funny.

Speaker 37 He's like, there's a funny script floating around grown-ups three.

Speaker 81 And then David Spade, I heard, read it and thought it was funny.

Speaker 74 But then there was the point when talking to Adam McKay and he's just like,

Speaker 72 should I send it to Sandler?

Speaker 3 And then I was like, oh, I don't know about that.

Speaker 75 I don't know. And then

Speaker 75 it made it to Adam Sandler through another channel through

Speaker 96 more, like through the Safdie channel that I have.

Speaker 3 Sure.

Speaker 93 And more or less, I think it might have, it might have, it might, I don't know how it got there, but I know that someone in that camp heard him at one point go, what's the deal with this Grown Up Street thing?

Speaker 76 Like, like, and quite a bit of your Grown Ups 3 script ended up in Uncut Gems, right?

Speaker 3 Pretty much.

Speaker 82 I'm right now arbitrating with the Writers Guild about, no, it was.

Speaker 23 Oh, they've got our best interest.

Speaker 3 Yeah.

Speaker 27 It didn't.

Speaker 2 Of course they do no we we're heading back out guys to get your signs i've got a few quips ready and

Speaker 78 i'm ready to start walking on the

Speaker 3 on the new the new picket line oh my god when i walked

Speaker 3 i was i walked the picket line over by warner no no by universal by universal and it was like

Speaker 84 first of all I'm watching everybody.

Speaker 81 Oh, Jay Leno pulled up and had hot dogs or whatever.

Speaker 70 And oh, here's so many, all these famous people.

Speaker 71 I walked that Universal picket line.

Speaker 74 First of all, I was almost got hit by a car every day.

Speaker 70 It's directly off the 101.

Speaker 89 People are pulling off that Lancashire ramp as if they're still on the highway.

Speaker 36 Didn't they cut back the trees there too, so you guys would have no shade?

Speaker 98 I think that was the Warner Brothers one where they cut the trees.

Speaker 20 Oh, yeah. Okay.

Speaker 93 Yeah.

Speaker 84 But this one, they didn't have to do anything to make this any worse.

Speaker 71 This was just bad.

Speaker 70 You know, when you go past Universal Studios and there's that giant hill that goes up, and like if you're going to drive to the

Speaker 74 city walk or whatever, it's like that's where we were picketing.

Speaker 80 I was there so many times. The only

Speaker 81 star power I ever saw at it was one Sklar brother.

Speaker 27 And you couldn't tell which one.

Speaker 74 It was Jason. I could tell.

Speaker 3 Thankfully, I could tell. I could tell which one.
Because he was wearing glasses.

Speaker 72 Yeah.

Speaker 71 And that's the trick with the Sklar brothers.

Speaker 3 I can't tell who.

Speaker 96 Jason,

Speaker 80 he has glasses on.

Speaker 82 J-A-S-O-N.

Speaker 3 That's how you.

Speaker 2 Oh,

Speaker 3 wow.

Speaker 23 Okay. Got it.

Speaker 74 Makes me sound like Tony Robbins or something with like

Speaker 79 mind gymnastics.

Speaker 37 That was it one Scar Brother once.

Speaker 85 Also, he didn't come back.

Speaker 3 He just like, he was like, this sucks.

Speaker 88 Nobody. I did hear.
Now I will say I did hear he got hit by a car.

Speaker 44 So this is

Speaker 3 rest in power.

Speaker 61 Tom, the other

Speaker 88 thing that I feel like I just want to mention, I texted you about this.

Speaker 19 Now, Jason, you may not even know this.

Speaker 16 You know, Tom has a new show.

Speaker 27 I did not know this.

Speaker 44 A show with Natasha Leone and Matt Berry.

Speaker 39 Can you tell us a little bit about this show?

Speaker 41 Because

Speaker 16 it got me so pumped when I heard about it.

Speaker 39 But yeah, I'll let you pitch it.

Speaker 98 Yeah, for like a couple of years, I've been working on this thing.

Speaker 70 The idea of like doing this retro.

Speaker 70 The word retro is getting thrown around with it because

Speaker 80 it's funny and stupid.

Speaker 84 and that

Speaker 92 apparently means retro now because people don't want to be both of those things.

Speaker 76 Well, now people just are very comfortable with stupid, but they don't want funny anymore.

Speaker 16 Well, it's funny because it's retro to be two things at once.

Speaker 19 I was talking to somebody the other day who said that now, uh, when you whenever you're talking about a comedy, you have to say it's meta.

Speaker 33 It's like, well, it's not meta, it's just a, it's a comedy, it's

Speaker 41 like, I guess it's meta if you are treating it like a drama.

Speaker 87 It's yeah, honestly, I'm not sure where people's heads are at with any of these things now.

Speaker 70 It just, it's like, I thought like we all talked about it, Matt and me and

Speaker 74 Matt's producing partner about a show that would be British guy, American woman teaming up to solve crimes.

Speaker 74 And it was like, it was like a stupid heart to heart to me, like

Speaker 85 thinking of the legendary show Heart to Heart, which Robert Wagoner and

Speaker 3 Stephanie Tower, Stephanie Bowers.

Speaker 41 Adam Scott and I did that the greatest event in the history of television where we recreated the opening of the heart-to-heart theme song.

Speaker 18 Very action-packed skiing, boating.

Speaker 49 You know,

Speaker 41 it's like, yeah, little spies.

Speaker 16 Little spies run around doing fun stuff.

Speaker 81 It's the kind of show where

Speaker 74 a friend of mine described it as

Speaker 70 there's a crime scene and then

Speaker 80 they show up.

Speaker 74 He's in like a tuxedo and she's in an evening gown.

Speaker 98 And they're like, what seems to be the problem here, officer?

Speaker 74 Like, they're just inserting them.

Speaker 80 Like, if two fancy people show up at a crime scene, like, get

Speaker 72 out of here, go away. What are you?

Speaker 85 You can't come over here, but they do.

Speaker 70 They let them.

Speaker 46 It's kind of like an 80s riff on the Fin Man, in a way, right?

Speaker 58 Like, you know, like, yeah, without, but in the Fin Man, they're drunks and they're whatever, and they used to be detectives.

Speaker 34 These people, they seem to be just living the highlight.

Speaker 45 They're stepping out of dynasty in a way, and then just kind of solving crimes.

Speaker 74 Yeah, it's going to be like old TV in the fact that it's going to just be,

Speaker 71 it's going to be really funny and it's going to be kind of like if you put a Roger Moore era James Bond with like a

Speaker 74 another person who's a lot tougher and

Speaker 37 stronger.

Speaker 3 So it's kind of

Speaker 19 like, I mean, if we're talking, I mean, I know it's different than Natasha, but like the way Roger Moore kind of teamed up with Grace Jones, an interesting pairing there.

Speaker 80 Yeah, it's going to be, I think it's going to really be funny, and we're going to shoot it in Europe next year.

Speaker 73 So that'll be

Speaker 79 its own thing.

Speaker 27 Oh, that's cool as hell. Yeah.

Speaker 74 So I'm really looking forward to it.

Speaker 73 It's pretty exciting. And it's like the best actors you could ever ask

Speaker 81 for.

Speaker 76 Matt Berry is the funniest.

Speaker 16 Heart to heart with Natasha and Matt Berry is...

Speaker 19 I mean, like in that vein,

Speaker 25 that already has gotten me.

Speaker 45 Yeah, it gets me very, very excited.

Speaker 16 I am excited that you are doing this and you know maybe and if it gets enough traction then maybe that grown-ups three script can go because i'm gonna tell you uh my kids can't get enough of these grown-ups movies we've i i've watched uh grown-ups one and two i would say conservatively in the last month five times each okay yeah

Speaker 3 oh my gosh

Speaker 7 ABC Wednesday, Shifting Gears is back.

Speaker 14 Welcome.

Speaker 3 Oh boy.

Speaker 14 That guy's a tool.

Speaker 11 Shifting gears, season premiere Wednesday, 8-7 Central on ABC and stream on Hulu.

Speaker 5 Your sausage McMuffin with egg didn't change. Your receipt did.
The sausage McMuffin with egg extra value meal includes a hash brown and a small coffee for just $5.

Speaker 5 Only at McDonald's for a limited time.

Speaker 6 Prices and participation may vary.

Speaker 76 Tom, are there any albums you want to recommend right now?

Speaker 72 Oh, yeah.

Speaker 96 Well, that's a good question.

Speaker 97 I feel like now I'm in a weird,

Speaker 85 lame stretch, and

Speaker 85 I'm just looking at albums on my phone. I'm going to say,

Speaker 76 both of us are huge Destroyer fans.

Speaker 3 Yeah, news.

Speaker 76 Wait, what did you decide? Will you be seeing him this Thursday?

Speaker 86 I'm still not sure yet whether I'm going to see Pulp or Destroyer.

Speaker 76 Good, good.

Speaker 3 I mean, it's an incredible problem to have.

Speaker 73 Yes, exactly.

Speaker 76 No, I will be at Destroyer. Very excited.
And one of my absolute favorite records of the year, Dan's Boogie.

Speaker 71 Yeah.

Speaker 78 So amazing.

Speaker 80 And he finds like another gear. It's imagine if people, when they can't figure out Destroyer,

Speaker 86 it's like, think about if Bob Dylan changed his sound every time he put an album out.

Speaker 3 Like, yes.

Speaker 96 That's what if he stayed Bob Dylan.

Speaker 27 Yes.

Speaker 76 But sometimes made a David Bowie record.

Speaker 72 Exactly.

Speaker 70 And it just, sometimes it was a record with a cheap keyboard and sometimes it's a record with the E Street band.

Speaker 24 It sounds like.

Speaker 76 Sometimes it's a record with Frog Eyes.

Speaker 72 Yeah. It's just.

Speaker 76 By the way, if Bob Dylan made a record with Frog Eyes, I would be thrilled.

Speaker 76 New album from the band Wednesday is fantastic. And I will also shout out the band Sharp Pins.

Speaker 97 Steve Gunn album is great.

Speaker 93 Steve Gunn has an instrumental album that's really beautiful.

Speaker 93 And it's literally meant for us.

Speaker 27 It's called Music for Writers.

Speaker 3 I love it. Ooh, that's mad.

Speaker 80 Nice ambient stuff. And I mean, as he does, it's beautiful.

Speaker 55 Great.

Speaker 16 Tom, I always ask Jason this, but like, how do you find it? Like, how do you, like, how are you finding music?

Speaker 72 You just,

Speaker 89 it's funny because I am writing a book about.

Speaker 80 music now and that's one of the things I'm trying to write about is like not giving up on finding like how to not give up on music as you get older and not just like stay in your comfort zone.

Speaker 76 This is, I also talk about this all the time. How do you, especially with the death of those curatorial places that we used to go to, be they

Speaker 76 record stores like Other Music or Aquarius Records in San Francisco, any of those places that helped recommend, those have all gone away.

Speaker 27 They have, but they haven't all gone away.

Speaker 84 You could go to Gimme Gimme and Gimme Gimme in LA and they'll tell you about anything there's smart people working there

Speaker 86 and i really just think you just have to pay attention a little bit and sometimes it can be as simple as if you're on a streaming service and there's you're listening to something you like just look for the thing they recommend that you never have heard of and just got it go down that road and if you keep going down a road past that you get somewhere else and like if you go oh well what would i listen what would the people who like this also like?

Speaker 93 Then you listen to that.

Speaker 91 Then what would the people who like this?

Speaker 80 Now you're out in the woods and you're finding new things.

Speaker 27 And I think one of the things that I've had success with in the Bandcamp ecosystem is

Speaker 76 Bandcamp will show, if I bought

Speaker 76 a record, if I bought the Steve Gunn record that Tom just held up, it might show me other people who've bought that record and

Speaker 18 what else have they bought?

Speaker 76 So it's also, oh, somebody who listens to that Steve Gunn record, they might also have this Riley Walker record or this Bill McKay record that I also like instrumental guitar music.

Speaker 68 Okay, cool. You know?

Speaker 91 Yeah, absolutely.

Speaker 74 I got to get on this.

Speaker 45 I feel myself like flailing in this world because I just, I never,

Speaker 33 I got to do some more exploration.

Speaker 16 And that's where my downside is. I used to love and listen and find, and now it's back for me.

Speaker 99 Well, there's also things like the other thing i would recommend is like

Speaker 93 look at who opens for people when they do the whole tour not like the band that just got thrown on for one night it's like look who bands bands and acts you like

Speaker 99 see who they pick because that works even on the biggest possible scale you could find right it's just like oh well Sabrina Carpenter opened for Taylor Swift.

Speaker 24 It's just like, that's how people found out.

Speaker 80 Like it goes as high up as that, but it it kind of works.

Speaker 96 If the band respects somebody, there's something there.

Speaker 93 That's worth checking out if you love the band, the headliner so much.

Speaker 91 And then also just, just like pay, there are still record labels you can pay attention to that still tracks to some degree.

Speaker 99 And just find also find a venue. Like, like if you're in this area, there's a place in Pasadena called Healing Force.

Speaker 86 of the universe that it's a record store during the day and at night they have shows and they just have a certain type of show there.

Speaker 75 They have stuff that's a little more mellow and

Speaker 81 maybe

Speaker 75 kind of,

Speaker 80 you know, look, folky is a bad word for some people, but it's not a bad word.

Speaker 81 It's, but it, um,

Speaker 86 they have really nice stuff happening there.

Speaker 80 And you just can look at the other bands that play there.

Speaker 89 Go to the website, their website and see what their calendar is.

Speaker 80 And if even if you're not looking to go to shows, just check out the names, see who's headlining and listen to a couple songs by people.

Speaker 99 You can get there, it does take a little more work, but you can also take advantage of the fact that you can hear things like that.

Speaker 97 You don't have to go buy an album and find out you think somebody sucks that.

Speaker 76 Yeah, you can be exposed immediately rather than, oh, I read about this record. Now it's going to take me a week to actually hear a cut from it.

Speaker 93 Exactly. Now you got to remember what you were trying to check out.

Speaker 24 It's like the chaos that has happened, there's still patterns in the chaos that you can take advantage of and utilize.

Speaker 44 You know, for me, what I do is, you know, I go to the record store from Freakier Friday, you know, where Chad Michael Murray worked.

Speaker 16 And I was like, you know, I want to see, you know, I kind of, that's the record parlor and I kind of check out there and kind of get those vibes going, you know, and find some new bands and get some stuff like that.

Speaker 16 You know, that's where I'm at.

Speaker 82 I think, Paul, I think you've got it all figured out.

Speaker 93 I would rescind everything I said.

Speaker 3 Just go.

Speaker 34 You know, I saw,

Speaker 16 it seemed like there was some cool stuff going on there, some neat stuff.

Speaker 63 If you want to hear more of Tom and us, of course, you can listen to our Avengers episode, Uma Thurman, Rafe finds.

Speaker 19 And we did that live in New York with you.

Speaker 3 That's right.

Speaker 79 Listen, people should listen for the moment when the crowd realizes

Speaker 77 that I was the surprise guest, and you hear

Speaker 93 the room just deflate

Speaker 82 that they're like, oh, I don't know who that is.

Speaker 9 You know him as the host of the best show.

Speaker 54 Please welcome Tom Sharpling.

Speaker 15 Welcome, Tom. Welcome.

Speaker 3 Have a seat right there.

Speaker 24 All right. How are you, Tom?

Speaker 100 I'm good. Listen to that completely measured applause for me being here.

Speaker 100 They heard Tom, and then the only thing they wanted to hear after that was

Speaker 101 Mess Middle Ditch.

Speaker 100 And then it's like, oh, no.

Speaker 72 If you listen to it,

Speaker 83 it really feels like...

Speaker 76 You can hear the oxygen leave the room.

Speaker 70 I think you can hear the people leave the room, actually.

Speaker 95 You hear chairs.

Speaker 76 That was the episode where by the end of the show,

Speaker 3 the recording,

Speaker 27 you had walked the whole room.

Speaker 3 Oh, my gosh.

Speaker 63 It's a classic, a classic.

Speaker 72 But outside of that, it's a classic episode.

Speaker 16 Tom, you're the best.

Speaker 35 Thank you so much.

Speaker 25 We will be listening to you and seeing you out on the road.

Speaker 19 Best show live in October.

Speaker 16 Brooklyn, Philly, LA, Chicago.

Speaker 52 So good.

Speaker 19 We cannot wait.

Speaker 76 Congratulations, Tom.

Speaker 71 Thank you.

Speaker 96 Thank you both. You're the best.

Speaker 16 Thanks for not retiring like that. Marinick Coward only did 15.

Speaker 71 He only did two episodes a week for 15 years.

Speaker 3 You're like, wow,

Speaker 3 what a tourist.

Speaker 3 He didn't have it, apparently.

Speaker 87 He only had the president in his garage.

Speaker 36 Thank you, Tom, for joining us.

Speaker 19 And by the way, a shout out to Rob from Long Island doing double duty with that great introduction segment for Just Chat.

Speaker 59 Now, if you want to go see Tom on the road, just go to thebestshow.net and click on the link for tickets.

Speaker 19 You know, it works.

Speaker 44 You know, websites work.

Speaker 68 You're there.

Speaker 50 Thebestshow.net.

Speaker 19 Get your tickets to see Tom on the road.

Speaker 25 And you might even see me and Jason in the crowd in Los Angeles.

Speaker 40 All right. Now's the moment you've all been waiting for.

Speaker 25 It's time to announce our next movie.

Speaker 62 That's right.

Speaker 43 We're going to be going from a scare with a noose to a bear.

Speaker 53 on the loose.

Speaker 40 That's the kind of wordplay that this show is known for.

Speaker 25 I love it.

Speaker 47 Next week, we'll be kicking off a month of spooky movies with 1983's Grizzly 2, The Revenge.

Speaker 62 I will note that some streaming services do list the year of release as 2020.

Speaker 25 However, it was filmed in 1983, but

Speaker 62 not released for 37

Speaker 19 years.

Speaker 22 Yes, Grizzly 2 The Revenge was released in 2020, but not released for 37 years.

Speaker 19 And I don't know why, because check out this cast.

Speaker 21 George George Clooney, Laura Dern, and Charlie Sheen,

Speaker 55 kind of.

Speaker 17 Okay, IMDb describes the movie like this.

Speaker 44 All hell breaks loose when a giant grizzly, reacting to the slaughter of other grizzlies by poachers, attacks a massive big band rock concert in the national park.

Speaker 3 Holy shit.

Speaker 45 I am excited.

Speaker 57 Rotten Tomatoes rates this movie an 8% rotten.

Speaker 59 And Adam Patterson from Film Pulse says Grizzly 2 is a dreadful experience,

Speaker 19 but it's an oddly fascinating one as well.

Speaker 55 Take a listen to the trailer.

Speaker 3 What happened now?

Speaker 102 Grizzly killed again.

Speaker 102 Three kids this time. I don't want a cloud of fear on this concert.

Speaker 6 Now you get that, Grizzly, and get it now.
