Earl Skakel on Rush Limbaugh, Oscars, and Hollywood

and shoot your land. We'll be right back. Los Angeles, California, the media capital of the goddamn world. Thank you for tuning in to The Call Sheet. I'm Keith Coogan. You can call in if you like, 800-893-9562. Thank you so much for joining us. We'll be talking a bit about some breaking news. We have word that Rush Limbaugh has apologized. Yes, the man that, well, if you had been busted for, you know, prescribing, let's say, illegal narcotics in the form of pills from an associate or an employee, some other people may call you a pillbilly. But I'm not calling him that. He didn't call this woman a SLUT. I don't want to use the word on the air because, honestly, it was offensive to everybody. He lost advertisers. Two of them were mattresses or sleep. Very ironic. I'm sure they didn't want to be associated with that scandal and the sexiness. We'll be talking about the GCB, the good Christian bitches. Oscars, of course. And this was something I always watch. I don't know if everybody does. I don't know if you like the Oscars. I'd love to cover it tonight. 800-893-9562. It had either trying to do a classic return to screen. and what it's like to go into the actual theater, the live event, trying to get people back into the movie theaters. And the Oscars were, once again, they tried to actually group them better and move people along. Only one person got played off, as it were, for talking too long. So they did. They brusquely moved it along. And I always love them. So if you hate them or love them, I know they can be a snore fest sometimes. But call in. There was a lot of presenters that I thought were, I didn't know if they were like Oscar caliber. I don't know. Was J-Lo? Really? And J-Lo and Cameron Diaz came out to present. And I didn't see any sort of nip slip, as it were. But viewers had and quickly, immediately was on the internets. And there were screenshots like 12 seconds later. But what I did notice, I was watching the, they did. The presenter got off to the clip, to the award. They come back and they had their backs turned. And it looked like they were doing some cutesy little like, oh, we're being cute. Apparently, she'd like say, oh, hey, I think something's going on there. And I had her turn around. It was a mini scandal. But J-Lo, was there an Oscar there that I missed for one of her movies? I don't know. Rom-coms, they typically get Oscars. We also had the passing of, some more legends. But I also, I would love to introduce tonight, a fine man, a funny man, a prompt man. We have Earl Skakel in the house. How are, am I mangling your last name, sir? No, that's, you got it right. You're one of the few people on earth who can say Skakel instead of Skackle, Skunkle. Skakel, is it French? No, it's, we were mutts, German and Dutch. Along with some Jew thrown in there. The Germans dominate the North American bloodline. Always. The Irish are a close second though. And I got mostly the Irish background. Little Irish in there too, as well. Sure, sure. My aunt is Ethel Kennedy. For real? Yeah. That's terrific. Oh my gosh, that's crazy. Your aunt is Ethel Kennedy. Usually I don't tell people that because, you know, I don't want to be like Cato Kaelin getting gigs. You know, you knew OJ, so. And, you know, you are very funny and very out there and very brave on stage. You have to be. Absolutely, no fear, right? I mean, you can be in a bad band and blame the drummer. But if you're a bad comic, there's really no one to blame. Just yourself. Comics are the only writer, director, producer, editor, performer, copywriter, and writer. Yeah. Costumer, drugist. They're the only person that's responsible for every single bit of what you see for that five, seven minutes until the light flashes in your eyes. Oh, sure. I mean, you've done movies and, you know, you have writers, producers, directors, hundreds of people. 100 people, easily 100 people on any given project. Easy. And now thousands. Now you're seen with these, you know, I wonder, you know, you're an actor, you're like Oscar winning and you have a close circle. And you have a close circle of friends and some guy comes up to you, dude, I did like second team location special effects. Do you remember? I was like, it's like a 1200 people on the shoot. Do you really think George Clooney is going to be like, yeah, yeah, I remember you. But you've worked on. I call those ones rolling thunder. So when you're driving down Third Street or you're driving down Melrose and all of a sudden you see trailer, trailer, Winnebago, grips, electric. Oh, my God. You know, this is a real huge shoot. Sometimes you see like a U-Haul. Right. Like a dolly and like a photographer's umbrella. You're like, all right, print or something like that. But when you see rolling thunder, that's money. Oh, big money. Huge Hollywood million dollar a day spending on dumping in town. And you've been on those. I have modest budgets, but still, you know, 10, 12, whatever million. Toy Soldiers, I think, was probably one of the bigger budgets of the films. Other than Adventures of Babysitting. 10 million, I think they spent maybe 13 million top. That's nothing compared to today's movies where you're spending. This would be, you know, that's so low budget. Bad CGI and bad special effects. Yeah, but I like bad CGI. I love bad movies. You don't need. I mean, there's a lot. You go, you know, I really don't care what the snake looks like in Python, which is available on Amazon starring William Zabka and Keith Coogan. Two of my favorites. Thank you. Python had a really bad fake snake. I mean, you're like, oh, really? But the movie is in such a great Robert England is in it. And he brought a spirit of like, you know, this is supposed to be schlocky drive in late night. Have a beer, you know, have fun. Something that you really turn your brain off. You know, we're not going to put hours and hours into the goddamn snake. Those are the best movies to me. Yeah. I mean, look at Robocop. Now, I have to say, particularly Robocop is a huge. I had a friend that had pirated it already, like two days after it came out. And he's like, yeah, I shot it from the back with his VHS. Right. I was like, oh, it's awful copy. But Robocop was like blew you out of one of those ones like die hard and blew you out of the back of the theater. And had the unedited version. I was in London briefly a day or two. But I was like, I've got to go see the UK adult. And there was the longer cuts, all of the whole shot of him getting, you know, when the camera goes around the whole articulated puppet of Peter Weller. And then they blow us off in the US version. It was just a shot at the end of that tracking shot. And they blew his head off. So good. Oh, Kurtwood Smith. Best bad guy ever. Absolutely. I buy that for a dollar. Yeah. Guns, guns, guns. Tigers are playing. You cannot connect the line between him and Red on that 70s show. He's that character is so fun and evil and snorting lines of coke in the middle of it. You know, he's so that's right. A good bad guy makes a good, good hero movie. So I can't separate. You're right. Like I was watching Sons of Anarchy. Very powerful rape scene with Katie Segal and Henry Rollins. And the whole time I'm watching it, I'm like, where's Al Bundy? He should come in and save her. Where's the rest of Black Flag? Right. Just trying to make money. Wow. Really? He was on Sons of Anarchy. Henry. Oh, he was great. He played a white supremacist. Real stretch. And they do some pretty wacky things on that show. And he was a cliffhanger in season two. His brutal rape scene and how FX got away with it. Wow. Well, they can do what the hell they want, right? Because don't people have to like pay specifically? It's not public property. There's no standards. There's no right. Is that or is FX? I mean, it's cable. We have a call. Oh, my goodness. Oh, we have a caller. How can we help you? How can we take you? How can we take your order? Hello? Hello? Can you hear me now? I can hear you. Can you hear me now? I can now. How are you? I am well. Long time listener. First time caller. Yeah. Thanks for calling. Yeah. Y'all were talking about Robocop and that was a childhood movie. Oh, yeah. What? I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. Who's the lead? Who's the lead? Who's the lead? Who's the lead? Who's the lead? Who's the lead? Who's the lead? Who's the lead? Who's the lead? Who's the lead? Who's the lead? Who's the lead? Who's the lead? Who's the lead? Who's the lead? Who's the lead? Who's the lead? Who's the lead? Who's the lead? Who's the lead? Who's the lead? Who's the lead? Who's the lead? Who's the lead? Who's the lead? Who's the lead? Who's the lead? Who's the lead? Who's the lead? Who's the lead? And then Kurtwood Smith, I mean, you see him in that, and then I remember that he was a Star Trek villain, wasn't he, later, years later? There were so many of those Star Trek spinoffs, I lost track. Yeah, it's great. Star Trek, they could put a forehead appliance on anybody, and you wouldn't recognize them. You're like, really? That's Kurtwood Smith? I played Spock's dad, and the ambassador was also a villain in one of the movies or something. But then watching Kurtwood Smith in that 70s show, I always remembered him from RoboCop, which was the first thing I ever saw him in. And it's funny, at the beginning of RoboCop, there's a totally on steroids news broadcast, corporatized and overly spoon-feeding, and you watch it now and you're like, that's TV today. Yeah, where's the big titted weather girl? You mean the one on CBS? Jackie Johnson, thank you very much. Wait, do you remember Idiocracy? Ow, my balls. I'm sorry. I like money. I do love big, stupid films. Is Jackie Johnson single? I'm sorry, I'm still thinking about Jackie Johnson. I bet you are. I don't know her status. I'm assuming she's not single. And if she is single, I'm sure there are about a million men in L.A. who would date her. I'm sure there are a million men in L.A. who would date her in a heartbeat. Sounds like someone has a little crush here. Yeah, a Facebooker. Yeah. A Facebooker, a totally online stalker, that's a great idea. Just make sure you clear your internet catch after. You mean so Google doesn't turn it into a way to make their stock prices go higher? It's a way to share and integrate across all of our platforms. Now, YouTube, Picasso web albums, Google Search will all be brought together so you, you will know you need to go to fucking Nordstrom's. Oh, wow. Thanks for answering my call. I really appreciate it. You are welcome. Thanks for being a fan of Robocop. I guess I was... I was a fan of Toy Soldiers, too. It was a great movie. Thank you. Thank you. We fucked up a big part of Virginia. That was fun. Great bad guy in that. The guy with the bad side. That's good. Great bad guy. He's so, yeah, he's very, very intimidating. And he, he, they played, they so romped around town as bad guys. All of them. From Jack with the glasses, the crew cut guy. Right. Jack, come here. How many? Okay. It was like they had an inside joke of like, oh, you a box of cigars or something if they got the count right. So they had all this subtext and like, you're bad guys, whatever. But actually that makes really good characters. He didn't want to become a caricature, even though he was very broad. Andrew Devoff was, he scaled at languages and dialect speaks like 13 languages and is incredibly smart. And just, he came at it dang near method. He tried to scare the pants off of all of us kids. Well, he was great. He was like a better looking Robert Davi. Now you're trampling on Goonies memories and that's just, that's just wrong. No, no. I'm a big Robert Davi fan. I'm just saying. Did you ever see the movie that the bad guy from, uh, the guy who played the bad guy, the lead terrorist in, in, um, in that movie, he played a, uh, a fighter pilot in another movie where they're trying to steal a stealth plane. I saw it on Cinemax late at night back in the nineties. Not Black Angel. I don't know. Iron Eagle. Cause that's a brilliant movie. No, not Iron Eagle. The great Tim Thomerson. Oh yeah. He's the pilot. Oh nice. I'm sure it's somewhere hidden on IMDB. Did you show Keith the picture of Jackie Johnson if you were just Googling her? Did I? No, I have not. I don't have the technology. All right. Hold on. Jackie Johnson. On CBS LA. See, really? Is this like a new, is this like one of those crushes? Who was the one with the gray streak in her, the white streak in her hair, the brunette? Williams. Colleen Williams. Thank you. That was always like. I haven't listened to her long enough to know who that is. I was partial to Dr. George Fishbeck, but. Oh, look, Jackie Johnson. None of them are as hot as Dr. Joyce Brothers. From Cloverfish again. They've told her to tone it down though. Cause about a year ago, her, her boobs were just humongous and they're definitely making her wear padded bras. There. Oh, we have, uh, uh, I'm looking over here. Oh, we've got, now we've got images popping up. We have, this is the most high tech studio you can imagine. From a humble beginning, Skid Row Studios, uh, has turned into a art gallery, a live performance space. We've got a fricking disco ball too. There's a, uh, instead of this great grease board that you had, I'm looking at, uh, Jackie Johnson on the news. So you think those were reduced over time? Or just don't like wear the cutlets and stuff under them? If you could, uh, I don't know if they have this technology. If you can go back like two years ago, somehow by the day, you'll see they were. Yes. Oh, you're on a doctor already. Good work. Good. Nice. No, no. I was just thinking, you know, uh, you know, I, it's very quick. The yellow one. Listening. Intelligence coming from Skid Row Studios. Then. I don't know if it's intelligence. Extensionally by an infant magnitude. You're a Rush Limbaugh studio. Oh, Rush Limbaugh. That what, you know, I do, I have to talk about that because, uh, did you hear what Rush Limbaugh had said or the controversy spilling around him and, uh, his, uh, just, you know, continuing his kind of misogynistic ways. And it's always very, very conceptual. And he tries to walk a very fine legal line. And the actual quote was, some people would say she would be called a slut, which was very, uh, had showed very good legal acumen on behalf of Rush Limbaugh's part and is, uh, forthwith apology, which I broke four hours ago. He's, he's apologized. Attack on fine young woman's demeanor. Of course, it's slathered with, uh, uh, I'm sure, uh, he would just hated saying it, but, uh, he lost a lot of advertisers and that's money. And so I'm sure his producers. Much as he gets viewers, you know, viewers don't pay the bills. The advertisers pay the bill. Well, we'll see. She's a Georgetown law student, uh, $70,000 a year for that type of an education. Uh, and his argument was, uh, who's paying, why is she asking for $3,000 a year versus for a birth control? He tried to break it down and it was like, how many, what's the, you know, what type of birth control costs that? And, uh, who, you know, who is there? Doesn't a man also share responsibility and birth control? Isn't it convenient when a bigot and a pig, uh, like, uh, someone who would say is kind of like, or sort of a person on the radio, like a, you know, Rush Limbaugh. I'm not saying he would be, of course. See how he does that all the time. He skirts it. Uh, but yeah, man, uh, she's obviously got some skills. She's in Georgetown. Uh, and, uh, Pelosi and her are going to come and, uh, probably ask for a nice, a big fat settlement. Um, and I'm sure this is, you know, going a long way on his part to apologize is probably pretty prudent. I'm sure his legal team at the radio station was, of course we do that. It's an outrage and the public needs to be, you know, know where you feel about that. But, uh, you know, is he going to lose viewers? Who knows? Is he going to, or listeners? I don't know. I don't regularly listen to him, but it sure did get him a lot of press. Uh, and I, you know, I don't know if his listening, listenership went up yesterday, uh, the day after he had said this. I think it was two days ago. Uh, but, uh, you know, he continues to create scandal and attention and become and stay relevant by being irrelevant. That's, that's my piece on Rush Limbaugh. I like, you got me fired up. I'm going to go listen to MSNBC as soon as I get out of here. Dude, I got, uh, two AM stations programmed, uh, KNX 1070, which, and we're no, I can say that, right? There's no FCC on me saying that on a broad web broadcast. Our sponsors are going to be mad. Jeremy there. Oh no, I've lost. I'll, I'm done. We have sponsors? We, we. No, that's the point. We can say whatever the hell we like. Oh, okay. Great. And then I, yeah. The last question I know besides this one in voiceover IP land is, uh, is 103, the sound. Oh, the sound. I don't know. I like some K Earth. K Earth, man. And there's like 97.1. Just wait a few weeks and it'll be bought out by somebody else and become a different format or program. That's like our rotating radio station. Uh, you know. 97.1. God knows who the hell owns it now. Bring back Tom Likas. Speaking of abortions. Tom Likas. The abortions. I've had six of them. Women are whores. Okay. Do either of you guys see the, uh, Pasadena reporter or Hollywood reporter that's out of Pasadena list last week? No, I try to get to Pasadena as infrequently as possible. The Hollywood reporter, the magazine or the LA Weekly magazine from Pasadena, whatever they're called. I don't know what the version is. Okay. Is that by the LA Express and newsstands? It's one of the free ones. There was a political cartoon in there. Yes, Earl. Yes, it is. The back nine pages of the LA Weekly is all like, hey, I'm not an escort or like a prostitute would call me. Well, they have to have, it's a, I think it's a law that you have to have like legitimate news stories, the first four pages. And then the hooker ads are like the last 40. Sorry, listener. We got off on a tangent. Go on. What was the story in this, in this laundry stuffer? No, I was, I was amused. It's just thinking how, how funny it would be, how much money that they're making it. They only have to have four pages of news in quotes and the rest can just be hooker ads. Those ads are expensive. I've looked into it. So that's another search by the word, do you think? They, yes. And they, and they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the and no, they don't. I don't think they do that. I'm sure the most scandalous. They do an Adam Jackal check on a lot of those. They should. Hi, I'm Reva. I had an experience once. Yeah, no, this one, if you find it for Pasadena, there's a cartoon and it's talking about how the next thing that the Republicans are going to try and control is the orgasm for females. And it's like eight frames and it's hysterical. It's truly hysterical. Well, if everybody's complaining about how it's a bunch of men that's making decisions for women's birth control, then fucking elect women and get them up there too. And California's leading the charge on senators and congresswomen to send to Washington. You have three representatives. You have your two senators and your House representative for your district. Send them. Message them. Talk to them. Tell them what you want. I just turned into some sort of very stern and concrete 70s newscaster. That's the way it is. It's probably totally copyrighted. I can't say that. That was very Wolfman Jack of you. I can't do Wolfman Jack. I can't do a lot of voices. I do a really bad Jack. I just do one. It's horrible. Actually, it hurt. It's the Indian from Predator. Oh, do it, please. Sonny Landham. Of course. Great character actor. I never like saying character actor because I think that's insulting. He worked a lot. And so this is a scene in Predator where the Predator took Jesse Ventura's body and Bill Duke is killing the pig because he thinks it's the Predator. This is Sonny Landham. Major, you better take a look at this. Blaine's body. It's gone. Very nice. It's also a good movie. It's a Billy Bear in 48 Hours. Very nice. Oh, speaking of Andrew Devoff, another 48 Hours. He was the teardrop-eyed motorcycle guy in another 48 Hours. That's right. Yeah. Andrew Devoff has been around and was in Hunt for Red October as a sonic buoyman on a helicopter speaking Russian looking for the lost sub. He has one scene. Hey. Hey, and a credit. So that's good. Speaking of... Submarine movies, do you ever see one with Denzel Washington? With Gene Hackman. Ooh, Red... Crimson Tide. Crimson Tide. Crimson Tide. See how my brain works? Red. Red Dome. Crimson. Red. Young Ryan Phillippe in that movie. All he plays is a... In a Thaler suit. Looking at a fish tank with a tear in his eye. Oh, sad. It's a credit. It's a credit. And he's still married Reese Witherspoon, so... So... It's a credit to something... How's that working out for her? Poor Reese. She'll rebound. Yeah. My favorite part of the marriage of all is that kid in Stand By Me who's married to Rebecca Roman. Well, he dropped the weight and he got in shape and did a couple of, you know, seasons of sliders and he earned it, you know. He's, you know... There's... Who... Whose career is hotter, her or his? And in Hollywood, it's either your ass, your looks, your face, or your fucking bank account. It's like how much... How many people... And usually the reason you're bringing people into the seats is because you have a nice ass or face or breasts or whatever. I love the code. Too heavy. That means their breasts are just too... Yeah. Too many surgeries. Too foreign. Brunette. Too classic. Too old. Edward James Olmos. Yes. Great actor. When y'all watched the Oscars, did you wonder at the end if Tom... What kind of surgery Tom Cruise has had? That's pretty good. Well, I think there was a jump years ago when we first saw, like, some of the first work being done probably. And this is all presumed because this is all up here. My feeling, my personal experience from looking at different photographs over time, I have the opinion that... It looks like he may have had work done. See how I just couch and hedge everything. Yeah, you're a real real problem. Not entertaining. I'll tell you how I fucking really feel about it. The guy, yeah, sure. But the theory now is to get a lot of little things done and preemptive and stuff. And especially actors, it's like you have to freeze. You have to pick which Sylvester Stallone. Do you want Cliffhanger Stallone or do you want, you know, Rocky? I prefer Nighthawks. Nighthawks. I prefer... I prefer... I prefer Lords of Flight. Flatbush. His look on his face in those films is, God, I'm out of porn. I'm out of porn. Oh, God, thank you. I'm out of porn. Just like Lords of Flatbush is also pre-Happy Days of Henry Winkler. Is it? Nice. And I think Meat from Porky's was in that. Tony Gagnos. Nice. Pulled that right out of thin air. Who also got stabbed in the eye in Die Hard 2. Oh. With an ice pick. Nice. He did. He did indeed. And in Porky's 1, he passes out into a bowl of chili. Yeah, at the outdoor Hawaiian place. Yeah. I got a lot of useless knowledge in my head. It's like the same place in this movie that was filmed, that takes place here in L.A. with... What's his name from? E.R. Noah Wiley during the L.A. riots. Looked like the exact same facade. Maybe it's a studio lot. You know, I do want to mention, I don't want to forget Davy Jones. 66. That's just everybody watched the frickin' Monkees. Oh, dude. Come on. Brady Bunches. The second album I ever bought was a Monkees album. No way. That's great. Yeah, it was an LP. It was with... It was with some gift certificate from Hanukkah. The other one was... And the first one I bought was understandably a Lillian Newton John Lutzky physical. That is... As a child, that was one of the freakiest videos I've ever seen. I was a percussion six-year-old. We got a double call. Oh, we have another call. Is it one of the guys from the physical video? I should say goodbye if you have another caller. Absolutely. Well, thank you so much for calling and adding to the conversation. Have a great night. And weekend and March. Thank you so much. It was fun. Call back next week. Robocop. Yeah. All right. Hello, new caller. How are you? Keith, what's up, brother? Hey, Pat. How you doing? Hey, man. I got a question. Truth to the rumor. Maybe you've heard. I don't know what's going on, but the guys that did the movie Dead Presidents. Is it the Farley brothers? Yeah. I think so. Are they remaking Warriors and all that? Yeah, I heard that. I did. I heard they were remaking Warriors. I didn't know who was behind it. Is that the scuttlebutt? Did I just say fucking scuttlebutt? You did. I'm sorry, man. All of you. That's ridiculous. No, I was, you know, and I'm going to admit, it's one of those movies I missed by like a few years growing up. I was probably just literally two years too young when Warriors came out. But all of my friends were like a few years older anyway. Went on to high school. They were all like seniors. I was like a sophomore. So I was pretending. Yeah, Warriors. Yeah, Warriors. Come on. I've never fucking saw it. But I did see it, you know, later. It didn't have the impact on me. So, no, I don't know. They won't spoil anything. They won't spoil my childhood if they remake Warriors. But that's not in a bad way. That's not in a bad way. I just, you know. Another one I saw just recently was Bobcat's new movie. God Bless America. I have not seen that. Dude, it is falling down on meth is what it is. What's it about? It's just exactly like falling down on us. A guy gets fed up with society and fed up with the world. And he just goes and he kills. But it's like, it's like Death's Turn falling down. Had a love child that became this movie. Is he a comic in the movie? Parts of it are comedy and parts of it are like really serious. But it's hard to say. It's a good movie. I really enjoyed it. It's kind of twisted. But yeah, it's definitely Bobcat. You can tell. Who's who's the lead? Is it Bobcat? Or who stars in it? No, Bobcat just directed it. Yeah, he's a. Who the two people are, I have no idea. I've never seen them before. But you can definitely pick up the trailer on the trailer. It is on YouTube. What's it called? God Bless America. Thank you. Thank you. Oh, no. Totally into Bobcats ever since. Fakes the Clown. You know, that was so brilliant. That was one of those movies where the tone caught me right off. I was like, this is totally different than anything. Anybody produces or makes. This is ridiculous. This is like watching Freeway for the first like Freeway also had a tone that I went, whoa, people don't make movies like this. First scene. Like Lily Taylor is anyway. Yeah. Bobcat. You know, I do. Jakes got to talk to you. Little intervention they're having in the car. Like Jakes, we think you have a problem. You know, and I think I got a bunch of friends who are assholes. Jakes is brilliant. So it's called. Oh, wait. Wait, what was called again? Space case. God bless America. God bless America. Also, check out Bobcat and Twisted Sisters. Leader of the Pack video. Uh-uh. Hey, Keith, are you going to South by Southwest at all this year? No, I've never been. I've been. I went to Texas and worked there. Great, unbelievable filmmakers. But no, I haven't been. I'm going with. You don't have to remember my friend Skip. Totally. Totally. Totally. Totally. Totally. He's actually, he's doing these movies for the military. Yeah. Well, he's going there with his company. I'm going to come down and my guys from Australia are coming there. So I'm going to go hang and take two weeks off and go enjoy the South for a while. That would be cool, man. You'll see a lot of cool movies and stuff. Dude, that's going to be awesome. Have a great trip. When does that happen? Well, it's second week this month. It's like the 16th or the 23rd. Oh, right on. It's two weeks. Well, let's get back to your show, man. I just want to talk to you about that Warriors movie, see if you hear anything. No, I've got, I'm loading up the trailer now. We'll check it out after the show. Because, yeah, Bobcat's amazing. And if anyone ever saw World's Greatest Dad, that was genius, too. All right, guys, you have a good night. You too, buddy. All right, thanks for calling in, man. Yeah. Yeah. From Maryland. Oh, really? Yeah. Pat Abel. He is a, he's a great guy. Survivor. He's definitely a great guy. And a great fan of the show. He always has something crazy to say. He's like, works near military bases and stuff. And he gives us the inside dirt there. I bet. There's plenty there. This Skip man. I don't know how Skip got some sort of job with the government. I guess that shows you how squirrely you really can be. And still work for the... For the government. That's a, he must, he, you know, he must have been working for them for a while. And that's crazy. He's on a trip like that and doing video for them. That's cool. It's really cool is you could be an artist. You could be, do something weird. I mean, the sound designer. Great. Here you are at the Pentagon and you're working on it. Because they got to get the best people, right? They do. They don't necessarily have to get a soldier, you know, that went through boot camp. They're like, dude, we got to turn to this guy who knows how to hack laptops, you know, and there's the cliche. Yeah. You know, in the movies, it's like, you know, some guy who dates Drew Barrymore and drinks a lot of Red Bull and it's like, you know, or some girl with like Betty Pitchbanks. Yeah, I can hack that for you. So, hey, you know, doesn't matter what you look like as long as you can do it. I know. Oh, you know what? Computer related though. And this is, this is always infuriates me. I've been, you know, vocal against SOPA and PIPA and off of my internet, whatever bill is coming. And always, you know, it's big Hollywood and manufacturers. And manufacturers of clothes and bags saying, you know, anti-pirate and they're, you know, taking money from us. And meanwhile, Hollywood's profits seem to be going just up and up and up and they're very healthy. And they've done studies. The number one pirated movie is always the number one box office movie. If no one's downloading your movie because they really, really want to see it, no one's paying for it in theater. So you know, that makes sense, you know, and certainly it's tough there. It's a very powerful form of communication. Dance and art and set design and music and words and these performances of all these people sharing. It's basically the campfire and it's us run the campfire telling the story of the hunt. And that's the basis of all theater and all film and art that we'd see is, you know, trying to share with somebody these moments. Dude, and then it stepped on his neck. It was really funny. You had to see it, you know, let's eat the damn thing now. And that shared experience that the drums are broken. It's around the fire. How far away from the fire do you have to be to not be able to hear the drums? You know, sorry, you're like 30 yards from the drums and you're not allowed to listen. And you have to charge you to sit close enough to the fire to hear these stories. That's tough. So it's like it's but it is entertainment industry show business. Very locked together those two terms. And so there's always a balance between appeasing Hollywood and those people that do and produce. It's very hard to make it. You want to make it. You want to make it. You want to make it. You want to make it. You want to make it.

beginning and make a damn good movie if you're gonna do it and no more remakes oh i mean everything is a remake but not you we're it's different time i guess you know because now we're feeling the pressure of gas prices and inflation and we're having a big election and there's you know we're in the middle east and wait that's the 70s wait that's now wait no that's 79 wait it's like and what we're bringing back the same movies and tv from that time to kind of loop us again and uh get us caught in the same behaviors uh they had a study they said um uh that if you want people to go to war uh all you have to do is show stories on the news of children being threatened avalanches and there was a shooting and this stuff happens every day but you can edit the news you can decide today it's all fucking bear stories sentimental bear every everywhere there's a bear attack the communities were overrun by bears it's crazy happens all the time is how much is filtered through to your awareness when you're watching mainstream media uh i know i'm flipping everybody out i love it man get into it baby but it's just you know that's uh they they have to pick and choose there's only one way to do

do anything these days no if you just go to sunland and drink and fall down at the curve and get your car and hit something and then take off just don't paparazzi you're choosing to go to places where the paparazzi are present and the scene and the crowd or and then you know what is it you can't handle the people and the thing and so you drink a lot and then you behave this way you know don't lose it don't look like lindsey lohan obviously had a complete spill down she got toe back uh with a low jack she got uh obviously she had problems with producers it's on production reports production

saturday night live in uh three hours i haven't watched that show in years so it's gotten a lot better i that dude i have to honestly say you the last like four or five episodes of saturday night live actually been pretty clicking i mean i'm serious i'm serious uh give it a shot ever since they fired norm mcdonald i was like how do you fire that genius and lauren michaels didn't think he was funny that's crazy he's brilliant you have to get by lauren to get on the show in the first place uh he obviously thought there was something there and norm has been consistent i'll uh the only other person i would even consider close is chubby chase and he also was off the show i don't know if he's gonna be on the show i think uh norm's case it was the oj jokes the endless oj jokes with uh i think don allmeyer being the head of nbc and oj's best friend it probably got a little old after a while yeah but i mean you know if you can't make fun of a double murderer who can you make fun of norm was good didn't he do the news didn't he do that's all he did pretty much yeah outside of uh the best burt reynolds impression ever yeah that's great funny guy funny guy do do are you a fan of uh uh the uh stuntman movie or hooper hooper fan of hooper jan michael vinson terry bradshaw but he played uh shitsky yeah it's a great movie i mean you don't make movies like that no they don't make real movies where they really go drive as close the car driving in drive i think is the closest thing to that kind of movie but it's still very miami vicey this was 70s this was an 80s 70s had you know some damn good freaking car and stunt movies and falls and i remember trying to watch what was the one where he goes out of the bon aventure uh bullet or uh no no i know uh there was a very famous stunt dar robinson yeah sharky's machine sharky's machine i totally watched that on uh netflix just to watch that stunt i mean it's that's just a good movie it's the acting's you know i'm not an actor but to me it was like it was just you can't duplicate it i'm sure today that scene would be done with cgi okay remakes that worked for me walking tall believe it or not i watched the new walking call and i was like with the rock yeah no the one before that wasn't kevin sorbo in one or i saw the one with the rock am i totally wrong yeah i think that's like which was i love the rock but yeah i know i don't know there was a point where the rock did pick up the piece of wood he's about to beat their ass with that piece of wood and i was like yeah get him rock yeah i mean that's just joe don baker to me you can't oh yeah you know it's like the warriors i'm sure they'll have the gangs having laser beams and and it was just made so on such a shoestring budget you could tell that it had a charm about it that this one won't robocop the same thing predators the uh rodriguez film uh the sequel the last predator i didn't like it uh it was shot on pretty cheap budget because it was just jungle and actors there was very little sets like a few set pieces but they were pretty modest uh they made that movie fucking really cheap see i liked it i watched it mainly because of walter goggins i'm a big shield guy and he was big character in the shield but you can't the predator you just they should have stopped at the first one by the way i do do i'd like to do a quick a quick impression of the predator yes please that's very nice you know that i only do uh predator impressions you like some candy what is that your sandusky impression dude that guy's out of control that guy you look dirty let's take a shower yeah god that's awful just hygiene he's teaching them hygiene man yeah you know i read one of the art i've read an article where it said what he saw it was like yeah seems like i saw him having sex with the boy uh what how does that not get like alert motherfucking alert swarm swarm i mean now you know how does that not happen in a human being's mind how do you just go tell coach paterno and he'll handle everything bringing me down with the homies love uh i'll get rumble fished uh it was online saw that a guy had uploaded a video uh in the garden showing some flowers and his birds tweeting in the background and boom he gets a takedown notice on youtube sorry your video is removed dmca copyright notice and the copyright holders say your music's played like what the fuck really yeah he puts it back up all his ads are over it or and it's linking to another artist like to a song but it's so it's not it's like there's some it's me talking about this leaf and the thing and you know i'm showing my camera and uploading a bird song is the only thing so the apparently bird song they do have a problem with it it does recognize it and get it to the audience and it's false positive for a bunch of these tracks that are in like being watched and so sure they got in the couples a company called rumble fish and they actually have a staple of artists they're really loyal they're artists they're not just these lawyers that like sit there and try to sue people for doing this it was an honest mistake uh so the machine spit out google or youtube or whatever said sorry you know it's copywritten and put ads over it so at this point it's playing and there's ads over it so he appeals he's like wait a second i i had my own ads over it's my content i should be making the ad revenue who who this company there's no there's bird song i you know this is this is not uh any music in it there's not even a background track he's listened to it a million times he's like i can't even hear anything in the background like a car driving by with music nothing why is this being you know this is something i shot uh came back the message was it has been reviewed for a second time and we maintain the copyright is from this company rumble fish so it got on reddit it got on boing boing it got on all these internet sites where all these nerds you know gather and uh and dig and it got dug story got dug and 70 000 people or whatever were like uh you know trying to email rumble fish and talk to their so the ceo got on a message board and said some kind of he's like well you know the problem was in our reviewing process and you know that's under we gotta talk like how did you have you mistake and send a letter saying we reviewed it it's our song it's freaking bird song so i mean there's a huge breakdown there how many artists have they done this to how many people have they done this to and how many videos millions of videos and views on youtube uh and uh so you know by accident what have him and the vice president of the company of community with all the fans online uh you know he's expressed that we have a core people artist we try to cover and protect we use this technology it got you know sorry you know we'll try not to make it he goes think of the scale think of how many millions of songs of people and uploading a thing so there's bound to be mistakes you know but this was the second review human process and he goes does every single person that has this issue have to have 70 000 friends online you know petition and like you know harangue you on message boards to get any attention and it got released finally you know after hour and a half after this thing and really blown up into rebecca black proportions uh you know it was released and his old his his ads were on and he was making his money again but uh so now there's a term just like you can google somebody you can also get rumble fished dude i had a prince song in the background i was dancing in my kitchen and you know my toddler was doing this cool dance with us so i was shooting her and the prince song was the background fuck i got sued by prince totally happens uh so now it's that term is now i've been rumble fished oh i'm sure anything kiss related gene will have his lawyers out there oh he's a businessman first and first well he's also an entertainer and puts on a great show and almost like he takes it's funny when he's preparing he's like i gotta put my costume on and go to work and it's like he'll strap it on and go out and do this concert it's like he pulls that right out of his ass because he's a business he sits there and watches the goddamn bottom line oh yeah but all of it his memorabilia all of licensing everything tour i'm sure he's on top of it great bad guy in an episode of miami vice really this is when he like wanted to act and he's actually a very good bad guy also in the rucker howard movie i want a dead or alive what what's the blind movie the blind fury that's a good film that's a good film rucker howard was great you know is great he's still around yeah yes yeah he's uh he's uh he's banging it out and we've got uh there's no are there really that was the thing i was talking about how in the oscars they had like jlo presenting it's like who and you know you talk about ryan philippe or whatever but uh the it's you know everyone's so young am i just getting old is it seemed like hollywood's been super super young i have no like these you know leading man guys in the 70s you could be 40 and 50 years old riding the mustache and uh be a sex symbol you could phil collins you'd be fucking bald and be a lead singer of a band and get chicks and now it's like you have to be 22 years old and you know yeah but it's high def and blue right now who wants to look at you know some guy in their 50s with a face that looks like a golf spike's been i'm with you i watched a movie i've been watching a movie i've been watching a movie i've been dexter i got a beautiful tv at home and edward james almost one of my favorite actors but he's hard to look at on a 70 inch high def that's character and that's look that's beautiful that looks great look at did you watch american horror story yeah did you see her aging appropriately at times it was one of the most appropriately aged couples i'd ever seen first of all it was actually believable that they were a couple and you know her not being 12 years his junior that was phenomenal and she was had a maturity in her face she had some a line here a crow's foot or whatever but that's elizabeth shu on csi first shot uh opening shot of the episode she's lying down on sideways on the ground on her face on the ground and uh camera's really close and you're like yes there's she's 48 years old we got it still hot though of course but you know you can't uh it's like you watch newscasts these days i can't look at the riley factor not in high def or the apprentice watch the celebrity apprentice tomorrow i don't really like i've loved watch these i do watch celebrity apprentice fine show you've been in the business a long time don't i have to say something i hate about it though is because it turns into instead of how to run a hot dog cart and where to pick a location and what to price it at and how to advertise it's all about who could call somebody that's got a bunch of money and come down here and dump you know what i mean it's not you know and they're charging these poor people the wp the wp the wp the wp wp wp wp wp wp wp wp wp wp wp wp wp wp wp wp wp wp wp wp wp wp wp wp wp wp wp wp wp wp wp wp wp wp wp wp wp wp wp wp wp wp wp wp wp wp wp wp wp wp wp wp wp wp wp wp wp wp wp wp wp wp wp wp wp wp wp wp wp wp wp the worst makeup I've ever seen on any television show. They should be fired, whoever the makeup person is. I want your input next week. Well, I wonder if the housewife from, what is it, Beverly Hills? Who's that on it? The Jersey. Oh, Jersey. I wonder if she does her own makeup. You're not fucking touching my face. Get the fuck away from me. I mean, she looks the best out of them all. Lou Ferrigno's got a ton of makeup on, but I'm sure no one's going to make fun of him. Is Donald still rocking the orange? Orange glow. Yeah, I mean, he looks all right. His daughter looks the best. Wait, is that Ivanka? Yeah. Yeah, Ivanka. Girls do not play field hockey. Get the son with no personality. Yeah. She's the one that got the chip. Absolutely. She can run a business. Yeah, I'd be in him. I think the smarts and the bitchiness, and I think that's attractive. I think she's like, no, well, is that really how you're going to do it? Okay, fine. We'll see you later in the boardroom. She's very cut and dry. Big tits, too. Sure, look at the parade of trophy wives Trump's gone through. He's going to have good-looking progeny. No, no, he's, I mean, he's not a bad-looking guy if you take the hair and do something with it. Maybe put a beanie on him. Dude, that's his signature. He wouldn't be Trump without the hair. Think about it. He's rocked it the whole time, always. First time you started seeing Trump, it was like, let's hit the hair. And it's all they joke about. It's great because, you know, the only other thing they got is, yes, he had a bankruptcy or the Trump Corp did or whatever. And Rosie O'Donnell rubbed a little salt in that wound and he was like, he was pretty pissed about that. I'm sure he doesn't like taking shit from a girl. But Rosie didn't care. You're pegged, Donald. He called her loudmouth. And we have a caller. Thank you. Welcome to the, we don't have a caller. The caller, chickened out. Call back, man. Call back, man. Pick it up. Call back. This is like Eric Bogosian, talk radio. Yes. I hate you. I hate you. I hate your little fears. I hate you. Because you despise me. What is it? He is, I saw talk radio and I was blown away because great film. Yeah. But then I'm sure as a theater piece, that's got to be, a tour de force for any actor. Yeah. I don't think many could do it other than him. I mean, he just really. I would try it. I would try, because I was that passionately believed in him and believed in his, I got it. I got the character, I got the motivations. I would totally, it's like the Hamlet of, of monologues almost, you know. It's like one of those roles, you go, could I do that? Could I get up there in an hour and a half and could I keep that, I couldn't do that kind of coke. Of course, but I could do, how do you, that talk radio was a great Boghossian piece. So I felt the same way about him and Under Siege too. I really thought he got to the depths of his character. Was that on a train instead of the ship? Is that how they rocked that? With Katherine Heigl, a very young. Trains are a curse, man. You cannot do train. I think of like, the end of like Octopussy. I think I just, I think of like, a Supergirl, Super Train, which I also participated in, which is a fine, awful series. But Train, like Under Siege 2 is a good example. I'd like, the drama's Runaway Train is good. But the Unstoppable was like, there was not a damn thing surprising about that Denzel Washington movie. Chris Pine and Denzel Washington. Yeah, I didn't really. Unstoppable and the train running away. It was exactly what you would expect. Seen the trailer, you've seen the movie, honestly. I think Denzel kind of started turning into like, the black Stallone, you know, and just take any gig. Porky's four, I'll be there. I'll play Porky. Check cleared? Right, yeah. I'm there, dude. Why not? In this economy. Yeah. If you, you know what, if you have survived at least two or three of those, dude, green light, keep doing them. Look at Stallone. It's part of your brand. He's survived more bombs than Hiroshima. Not, I mean, not like so horribly bad. There was one that came out, I see you. Have you heard about this? Have you heard about I see you or whatever? That must've been one of his straight to video jobs. It was held up for five years on the shelf and legal wrangling and what studio's gonna handle this? And it was like, Stallone did not want this release. And it's just got the like, you know, you want it to be bad? He uses like the nail gun. He's like, well, you nailed it. I mean, literally the worst, like 80s one liner, you know, stick around. Nothing beats Cobra. Cobra was the best. No, nothing beats Cobra. Bridget Nielsen looking hot. I wanna blow this place up, man. Go ahead, I don't show up here. I mean, that's just good writing. Yeah, that is good writing. I loved him from the get go. Oh, listen. Cobra is great. He's made Rocky, the first Rambo, Cliffhanger I liked, Michael Rooker. Cliffhanger I had to work to like, but I did. No, I don't know if I loved Cliffhanger. Well, John Lithgow was just the cheesiest, baddest, bad guy. What was the one, first light, is that the one with the tunnel? That's daylight, when you get trapped in the tunnel. All right, it's Stallone and he's driving. Yeah, that's it. And then something happens. Let's call him up, see if he'll do it. Is it him and Nicolas Cage, they're racing to the bottom for yeses? Oh my God, I would have loved to have been a fly in the wall in 87 when they came into Stallone's agency. Whoever, I'm assuming he was with ICM or someone like that. Hey, Sly, we got a two hour movie. I'm gonna tell you about you arm wrestling fat guys. Okay. I mean, not even a hesitation over the top. This was, people always wanna know behind the scenes, how do directors work, how do actors work? How does a movie like Adventures of Babysitting, $12 million, $13 million budget, whatever, back in 87, that was real money. That was like a 30, $40 million budget today. One of the directions, Chris Columbus, in his first time directing, would tell us kids, he's like, don't, he's like, did you see over the top? And it was like playing. We're like, yeah, we were roped into it, we saw it. He's like, okay, whenever I say OTT, it means you're going over the top. I need you to ground it and rework around, work the relationships, don't act. And so whenever, and it happened a couple of times, he'd be like, that was OTT. And we would think, he's like, I just see the emblem and the poster of Stallone and the arm wrestling. And remember they marketed or had the special arm cups with the little padding. They were like round, circular. Yeah. An arm wrestling movie? Now I know it's built in conflict and struggle. It's a good Greek or Roman classic heroic man versus man muscle versus muscle. It's more like psyching out your opponent, exposing and taking advantage of weaknesses and being as strong as you can. And, but dude, an arm wrestling movie? For two hours. And the hat, the mythical powers, you would get. If you just turned your hat backwards and then you get like superpowers. It passed on to David Mendenhall, his son in the film Fine Performance by David Mendenhall. I give it up to the kid, tough job. He had to say some pretty awful cheesy dialogue. Oh, that one scene where they're messing around. We are so out of time. Thank you. Oh my God. It went so fast. Earl Skakel, thanks for coming in, man. Everybody, the call sheet, Keith Coogan. This is Earl. Have a great night. Bye. Thanks for listening.
