What is Popcorn & Plot Holes?
Movies are fun! Movies are awesome! But movies can sometimes be very, very weird... or just plain terrible. In this intersection of fun, awesome, weird and terrible is where Matt, Luciano, Chris and Spencer live and thrive. They'll be watching the latest FACTS (Fantasy, Action, Comic, Thriller, Sci-Fi) movies available on streaming services and sharing their equally awesome, fun, weird and terrible thoughts on them. Welcome to Popcorn & Plot Holes!
Matt (00:00.151)
Hello and welcome back to Popcorn and Plot holes. Spencer was that good for you?
Luciano (00:05.142)
Jesus, it's low energy and no intonation.
Spencer (00:07.827)
That was sad. Saddening. Yeah. OK. All right. Ready, ready and action.
Luciano (00:12.374)
That was one of the intros of all time.
Matt (00:15.927)
Alright, let me liven it up. Let me check. One. Welcome to Popcorn Upload All!
matthew w (00:18.798)
Thank you.
Spencer (00:26.771)
No, no, I like it. I like it. I like it. Let them cook.
Luciano (00:26.806)
Oh no, oh no, we broke him, we broke him!
Matt (00:32.663)
With me as always we have Spencer.
Luciano (00:33.206)
Ha ha!
Spencer (00:36.371)
Hey, good to be here.
Matt (00:38.743)
Luciano.
Spencer (00:42.067)
Uhhhh
Matt (00:44.951)
Uh, he's a bee, people, if you didn't get the audio joke there.
Luciano (00:48.438)
Ha ha.
matthew w (00:48.462)
I thought that I thought it was his vibrator. Just left it on in the background.
Matt (00:50.935)
Me too.
Spencer (00:51.507)
A sound can be two things.
Luciano (00:51.894)
How do you know it's not?
Hahaha!
Matt (00:55.351)
It's a bee vibrator? Great. And you heard the voice of Other Chris, AKA Other Matt, AKA, I think Matt, just technically. I don't think anybody else calls him Other Matt, his life, or do they?
matthew w (00:55.502)
Sure.
Spencer (01:02.227)
Chris! No, just Chris.
matthew w (01:02.766)
Thank you.
matthew w (01:10.67)
I prefer to go by Wallace West, I just want to say.
Luciano (01:11.19)
We do.
Hehehehe
Matt (01:14.839)
Fair enough. You're now the ex -director of the CIA, so it's a good promotion for you.
matthew w (01:16.846)
Exactly.
Luciano (01:21.078)
Your North American accent is way too good for you to be Jeremy Irons.
Matt (01:23.927)
It's yeah, it's uh, yeah. Oh God. Uh, we watched the beekeeper if you didn't catch it. I don't know if you've, we threatened to watch the beekeeper a number of times and things happened and now we're knocking it out. Uh, it is an Amazon thing, I think streaming. I don't know. That's what it was. Whatever. You find it. It's streaming. You had to pay for it, but you didn't have to sit in the theater, which is.
matthew w (01:26.126)
Exactly.
Spencer (01:31.987)
Boooo!
Luciano (01:32.822)
Hahaha!
Spencer (01:41.971)
Yeah.
Luciano (01:42.454)
Yeah, something like that.
Spencer (01:47.443)
It cost me $1 on Amazon Prime.
matthew w (01:49.55)
Yup, 99 cents.
Matt (01:51.031)
There you have a great deal. Speaking of Amazon Prime, watching Fallout, highly recommend it, but that's not what we're here for. This is a commercial for Amazon Prime. Give us our money, Jeff Bezos.
Spencer (01:58.067)
What is this, a commercial? We better be getting paid.
You can spare it.
Matt (02:06.071)
At least give us back our 99 cents for the Vkeeper. But yeah, so we watched the Vkeeper. It's the Jason Statham vehicle. I mean, he's trying so hard to get a vehicle. Let's talk about this movie the way we always love to talk about it, very positively, glowingly, if you will, at least for the first question. What was your favorite part of this movie?
Spencer (02:08.595)
Yeah, exactly.
Luciano (02:08.662)
Yeah, I'll settle for that.
Luciano (02:17.782)
Whaaaat?
Luciano (02:30.614)
I have one pretty clearly. It's what I've been calling to myself because I haven't talked to anybody about it. The Home Alone R -rated edition scene where he sets up the shit in the elevator. And then just like, it's like, it was such a kind of a weird deja vu because the office had never seen it before. But it was like, this is a Kevin McAllister thing. For sure. If he grew up to be a
matthew w (02:48.238)
You
Spencer (02:56.243)
Yeah, totally.
matthew w (02:57.294)
Mm -hmm.
Luciano (02:58.614)
psychopath that's what he would do. No, no, if you're not a beekeeper you're a psychopath. If you're a beekeeper you just you know carry for the hive that's all. Yeah so that was my favorite scene my favorite thing in the movie was that scene was so unhinged I loved it.
Spencer (03:01.043)
Or what are you calling, beekeeper psychopaths?
matthew w (03:01.07)
Or beekeeper.
Spencer (03:12.243)
You're just taking care of the hive. Sir, you sound insane.
matthew w (03:15.79)
Hahahaha!
Spencer (03:24.659)
Yeah, that was a good scene. I like that scene. I would say that my one thing I really liked about this movie and it's stupid, but I don't know about everyone else in the world. But one thing that really bugs me is that digital blood and gore. You know, it's like I find it so like when I watch like older movies with gore and it's like all practical effects, I love it and the squibs and all that. Now, this movie didn't do all of that. It still had some digital stuff, but did have some practical blood, like real
Luciano (03:40.182)
Hmm.
matthew w (03:40.398)
Mmm.
Spencer (03:54.579)
like, uh, like not real blood, but like real. Yeah. Maybe he was real though. Jason Statham's going the method. Yeah. But like, you know, like when he, when he cut the guy's fingers off, like it was actually like, it looked like a prop and, um, when he stabbed, uh, no, no, but when he stabbed Lazarus in the throat, when he stabbed, it was like, it was like a, it was like a real blood spray that was coming out. And it was like, it was like, it just looks so much better.
Luciano (03:56.726)
Hopefully not real. Method is Daniel Day -Louis -ing it.
Matt (03:57.495)
Oh, man.
matthew w (04:03.086)
Ha ha ha.
matthew w (04:09.486)
Yeah.
Luciano (04:10.39)
And it didn't bleed enough though.
Luciano (04:16.118)
Yeah. Bruh! Yeah.
matthew w (04:17.966)
Br -
matthew w (04:23.95)
Mm.
Spencer (04:24.531)
So that, I appreciated that and that made me really like it.
matthew w (04:27.79)
Yeah, I mean my favorite scene probably be like you met you actually touch on it where you like cuts the dudes fingers off and stuff I just like that whole setup Specifically from the starting point where he goes and he gets those like gangster dudes because he's like, you know Professional bodyguards aren't gonna do it. I'm gonna get guys in sweats and then they just show up in a minivan and blow up his bees like
Spencer (04:50.739)
Mm -hmm.
Matt (04:54.487)
Hahaha!
Spencer (04:54.899)
Yeah, announce you're here and before killing him, naturally.
Luciano (04:58.486)
Yeah.
matthew w (05:00.398)
And then just he, like the shotgun to the teeth, great. Like the shotgun, awesome. The shotgun, yeah, half the gun through the throat, that's amazing. So like, yeah, that was a solid, solid, solid.
Luciano (05:05.398)
Yeah, that scene is very good.
Spencer (05:13.587)
Yeah, that was good. Some good kills.
Matt (05:18.327)
I think for me, it's just the falling down nature of the vengeance tour he goes on. Especially against scammers. This sort of scamming wouldn't catch us, but we know countless people being scammed by them. And just having someone just like rain unholy vengeance upon them is a delight. It's the perfect premise for people our age and older for an action movie.
Spencer (05:26.739)
Mm -hmm. Oh, yeah.
Luciano (05:32.438)
Oh yeah, 100%.
matthew w (05:33.518)
Mm -hmm.
Spencer (05:37.395)
It was so satisfying.
Luciano (05:38.262)
Yeah.
matthew w (05:39.95)
Yeah.
Spencer (05:41.523)
Yeah.
Yeah, that's it's infuriating literally. I wrote actually wrote this down I wrote when they con the lady I said kill them kill them all now kill them with bees That's what my note is
Luciano (05:44.502)
Yeah.
matthew w (05:44.622)
You
Luciano (05:55.35)
Hahahaha!
Matt (05:56.087)
Yeah.
Luciano (05:59.702)
Yeah.
Matt (06:00.023)
As it turns out, that is also how they created the script for this movie.
matthew w (06:00.686)
It's a -
Luciano (06:05.11)
Yeah. Yeah.
Spencer (06:05.267)
Yeah, yeah. So when some of the writers like Grandma got conned by like a phone call and he wrote, kill them all with bees. And then that's how the script was born.
matthew w (06:05.454)
We're breathing.
Luciano (06:10.678)
Yeah, it's like, I have an idea for a movie.
Matt (06:10.679)
I don't know what to do with them all.
matthew w (06:15.182)
Or maybe use...
Luciano (06:17.462)
I love that first scene, the first like scam place that he burns down. I love that whole scene too. It's so...
matthew w (06:23.662)
Hmm. Maybe they were watching the Homer Simpson line. Do they have dogs with bees? And when they bark, they shoot bees at you? I butchered that, but you know.
Spencer (06:27.027)
Yeah.
Spencer (06:31.635)
When they bark bark, yeah I agree though Luciano with that one thing that I noticed in the first right away in this movie is the pacing is just like fantastic for like the the younger like our our generation and younger who just cannot stand slow action and there's really like I'm like, okay I get it is this gonna be like a vengeance tour against these guys and he's gonna have to find out where they are and it was really like they get conned he calls and
Matt (06:34.263)
Ha ha ha.
Luciano (06:57.462)
Nope!
Spencer (07:00.755)
They know where they are. He kills them all. He burns it down. He drives there, burns it down. And then it's going to be like, and then I was going to be like, okay, now it's going to be them like trying to find out who he is. And it's like, next scene, we know where he is. We got, we got his car. We're going to kill him. It's like bang, bang. I was like, Oh wow. This is fucking awesome.
Luciano (07:01.942)
He drives, he just drives there in his fucking beat up Ford truck with.
Matt (07:02.071)
I
matthew w (07:03.79)
Yeah.
matthew w (07:07.182)
I love gonna be like...
matthew w (07:12.494)
We don't.
Luciano (07:14.326)
Yeah, yeah. Yeah.
matthew w (07:15.086)
There's literally a moment where he looks down and he's like, you scammed a woman yesterday. And I was like, yesterday? You've killed like eight groups?
Luciano (07:23.99)
Yeah.
Spencer (07:25.011)
Yeah, yeah, it's been six hours He was interviewed by the police immediately let go and then he immediately went to burn down the building
Luciano (07:27.734)
Yeah.
matthew w (07:28.494)
I'm not gonna do that.
Matt (07:30.487)
So.
Matt (07:35.159)
So we learned about the beekeepers and we learned that this is what they do and the reason for their existence I I will ruin it slightly in the fact that part of this part of the beekeepers is gonna be the plot hole from the movie So we'll try to tread lightly around that but would you think about the beekeeper premise and and the reason for Alex Cobb was his name?
Spencer (08:04.659)
No, Clay. Adam Clay. Not even close! Alex Cobb! Same thing! My notes got speared!
Luciano (08:05.046)
Adam Clay, Alex Cobb.
matthew w (08:05.39)
play.
Matt (08:06.519)
Adam Clay. Same deal. Didn't write it down. Like him as a beatkeeper, that whole scenario.
Luciano (08:13.686)
Don't you know his name?
matthew w (08:17.614)
Yeah.
Spencer (08:22.803)
stupid. It's ludicrously dumb. Yeah, I was like, totally sold on him just being a beekeeper getting vengeance. Like, and then they're like, no, he's a beekeeper. As a job, like, and I was like, okay, go on. And they're like, no. And that's like,
Luciano (08:23.19)
Yeah, it's so dumb. It's so out of this world dumb.
matthew w (08:28.75)
Ugh.
Luciano (08:36.982)
With a capital B, yeah.
Luciano (08:41.942)
You
matthew w (08:47.374)
Every time they did or tried, you were like, no. Please just...
Luciano (08:52.534)
Yeah, so when when he first pulls the phone out from the fucking hive for whatever fucking reason, I hide my phone in honey, like whatever the fuck. And he.
Spencer (08:52.723)
Yeah, exactly.
Spencer (08:59.731)
Yeah, yeah That made me laugh out loud I just pictured I pictured him pulling like I thought he was really gonna pull out a second hive with like an assault rifle and then like another hive with like bulletproof vest and like
Luciano (09:13.782)
Yeah, no, he should have had one of those setups where he presses a button and like a bunch of shit just comes out of the hives drenched in honey and beeswax. Yeah. Yeah. But like when he calls the agency, I was like, of course he's a retired something or another. I thought, yeah.
matthew w (09:14.51)
They just all fly up with...
Spencer (09:22.707)
Yeah.
matthew w (09:25.23)
Yep.
Spencer (09:26.675)
That's gonna be horribly sticky. It's gonna be a nightmare to clean.
matthew w (09:28.782)
I'm just kidding.
Spencer (09:38.227)
Yeah, the agency by the way, a room with one woman.
matthew w (09:41.326)
Yes, who looks like an ambulance worker.
Matt (09:41.911)
There's a person behind, I think. Yeah, and the ambulance worker and the other woman. Yeah.
Luciano (09:43.926)
Yeah, true. It's just two people, twice as many. Yeah. And he calls and like, I was like, okay, so he's going to be some retired something or another, and they're going to make fun of him for liking bees too much. That's what I thought. I didn't think it was going to be, right? I was like, oh, it's going to be, oh, you're still beekeeping clay or whatever. No, no, it's the name of the thing and it's going to be thematic.
Spencer (09:46.579)
It's a big time operation.
matthew w (09:47.63)
haha
Spencer (10:01.331)
Oh, you sweet summer child.
Luciano (10:12.278)
and we're gonna base it off of some fucked up understanding of how bees actually work. So whatever.
Spencer (10:18.195)
Yeah, it was very stupid. The analogy was very forced. I swear at one point he's like, he's a beekeeper and you know bees, they protect their hives and they'll do anything to keep the hive at birth. And then they're like, he's coming for the hive. I'm like, wait, I thought he protects the hive. I'm like, this analogy doesn't make any sense.
Luciano (10:21.43)
He's very weird, yeah. Yes.
Luciano (10:36.47)
Yeah, yeah, he's gonna he's gonna clean the hive of of the wasps and and the people wait what hives and pee what the fuck yeah Yeah
Matt (10:37.911)
Yeah
matthew w (10:38.862)
So he's a hornet in this.
Spencer (10:44.947)
Yeah, I just felt like the analogy was stretched so thin I could no longer
Matt (10:47.479)
Hey.
Matt (10:52.183)
The wasp thing fits in because he did have a wasp thing at the beginning of the movie, right? Where I guess, how does he kill that wasp? Does he electrocute it? Yeah.
Luciano (10:57.11)
Yeah. I love that thing. Yeah, he broke the lamp inside the thing and kind of like passed like current through it and fucked them up inside. I don't know, but it looks cool. It looked cool. Yeah, I'll allow it.
Spencer (10:59.347)
using an old light fixture.
Spencer (11:10.323)
Is that the best way to do that?
matthew w (11:12.686)
Yeah, I still...
Matt (11:14.231)
Cool as hell.
Spencer (11:15.443)
That looked cool, I feel like he could have just closed the whole bag and just set it on fire.
matthew w (11:20.302)
Yep.
Matt (11:20.631)
now.
Spencer (11:22.387)
No, no, he's got to use that bag again. Those bags don't grow on trees. Yeah, that's true. He's like, no one's ever taken care of me.
Luciano (11:24.15)
Hahaha!
Matt (11:24.343)
Yeah, he's a beekeeper. He's not rich.
Luciano (11:28.758)
Yeah, that clearly.
matthew w (11:28.846)
You
Luciano (11:32.438)
I like to how like he says you know the whole very weird thing when he says to Mrs. Huxtable or whatever her name is. He says to her, nobody ever took care of me. I was like, oh this is this is fucking weird. And then he gets some honey for her and he puts her name on the honey jar. And I was like, what does he think is going to happen if he gives it to her without her name on it?
Spencer (11:46.003)
Yeah.
Spencer (11:52.403)
The honey.
Luciano (11:58.998)
Is she gonna think it's someone else's, honey? What's going on here?
Matt (12:01.175)
I'm gonna go to the bathroom.
Spencer (12:02.803)
It's gonna be stole by a picket by a bear in a picnic basket.
matthew w (12:06.542)
You
Matt (12:06.935)
Luciano, you get to a really critical question.
How far away in their relationship were they from banging?
Spencer (12:16.211)
I know, I thought the same thing. I'm like, is this the love interest? Like, I respect this.
matthew w (12:16.974)
Mmm.
Luciano (12:17.142)
Mmm
Matt (12:19.095)
Yeah.
matthew w (12:20.078)
Yeah. Yeah.
Luciano (12:21.622)
The hustle, the hustle's real. Yeah. That is a good question.
Spencer (12:26.675)
I genuinely think they were not far. I think it was that dinner. That was a date.
Luciano (12:28.15)
Yeah, I was gonna say, yeah, maybe if that honey was fermented enough.
matthew w (12:31.168)
That's, yep.
matthew w (12:36.238)
Yeah, that's why he had the name on there. We don't know this, but his thumb was covering the other part of that label and it just had little hearts just right there, a little bit of an arrow through them.
Spencer (12:37.395)
I make my own honey wine.
Luciano (12:40.214)
Yeah, it became mead.
Matt (12:42.231)
Mm -hmm.
Spencer (12:47.507)
and then he wrote sense and it wrote send nudes yeah said put it put it in a honey jar and send it back like I also was curious why he had so many jars of honey was he running a small business
Matt (12:51.511)
Hahaha!
Luciano (12:51.702)
ASL.
Matt (13:01.271)
Yeah.
Matt (13:06.359)
They implied it, but I think you forgot the step where you sell it.
Spencer (13:11.091)
Yeah, make honey, step two, question mark, step three, profit.
Luciano (13:11.158)
Yeah. Well, no. Yeah. Well, clearly. Go ahead.
matthew w (13:11.374)
Yeah.
Matt (13:16.855)
It's 100 % the energy.
matthew w (13:17.294)
Maybe, I was gonna say maybe he got him removed just because there was too many body parts in them or other random things flying around in his honey. Or bullets.
Luciano (13:28.694)
Ah, but...
Spencer (13:29.043)
Well, he was taken down by the FDA or, you know.
Luciano (13:33.078)
Yeah.
matthew w (13:33.23)
Maybe someone got a cell phone in it.
Matt (13:33.559)
They sent back, yeah, they sent back all those honey jars. We need 100 % less bullets, less cell phones in your honey jars.
Spencer (13:37.427)
Hey ya mama ya! So ya!
Luciano (13:39.446)
Yeah, we don't want bullets, cell phones, body parts, blood. We don't want any of that in our honey.
matthew w (13:39.758)
Hahaha!
matthew w (13:45.198)
You
Spencer (13:46.387)
I got a late 90s razor cell phone in my honey. Yeah, I mean, I just found it ridiculous that. So that was one thing that wasn't explained as that. So he's a beekeeper as a job, and then he was so into the culture of beekeeping, like the whole concept of beekeeping that he went into real beekeeping.
Luciano (13:53.622)
It slides under the door.
Luciano (14:14.87)
Yeah, the brainwashing worked too well.
Matt (14:14.999)
I think, I think it was, I think, I think it was the other way around.
Spencer (14:17.331)
Yeah He was beekeeper before they hired him to become
Luciano (14:19.669)
Oh.
Matt (14:21.559)
Yeah, and then they just showed up and was like, hey man, you're a beekeeper, right? It's like, do you understand the beekeeper stuff? He's like, yeah, I get it. It's like, get in this truck, don't ask any more questions.
Spencer (14:26.611)
He's like, yeah, he's like, I get it. You want me to become a super assassin to protect the hive. They're like, exactly. Sir, you sound crazy. You're hired.
Luciano (14:29.558)
I knew you'd understand it.
matthew w (14:29.934)
Hahaha!
Matt (14:33.591)
Yeah, I'll do it for a sec.
Luciano (14:39.51)
No, I see a scene with an equivalent of that Georgia Tsoukalos guy from Aliens thing. And instead of going in and he goes, bees! And he was saying, I'm in! Just take me wherever, I'm in!
Matt (14:40.311)
Hahaha!
matthew w (14:41.038)
Yeah.
matthew w (14:52.014)
I'm out.
Spencer (14:53.364)
Do you say bees?
Luciano (14:55.638)
Yeah.
Spencer (14:58.227)
Say no more, just load the gun.
Luciano (15:00.63)
I wish he would have killed those mobsters with like B keeper implements.
Spencer (15:09.267)
Yeah, that was like one of my only complaints. He didn't kill anyone with bees.
Matt (15:11.671)
So what are all the beekeeper, no, cause like, I agree with not killing with bees, but no, I want to ask Luciana, what are the other beekeeper implements you can use to kill a man? Okay, great. It feels like you're not smoking them out, right? Cause that'd take a long time to sit there with a bag over his head and be like, look at your watch.
Luciano (15:15.734)
Those are two different things.
matthew w (15:16.814)
All right.
Spencer (15:23.699)
Well, the smoker?
Luciano (15:24.534)
I don't know. I had the smoker, maybe he could like...
No, no, use the, no, you just grab, you grab, no, you grab the smoker and beat someone to death with it.
Spencer (15:31.411)
hahahaha
Matt (15:38.071)
Okay, great. Yeah, you can't just.
Spencer (15:38.483)
No, that's not creative enough. You shoot him and then you pump him full of smoke in his bullet hole. It starts coming out of his mouth.
Luciano (15:43.158)
So the smoke comes out of the bullet holes?
matthew w (15:47.886)
Drown him in the apiary. Like literally drown him in the apiary. Just shove his face in honey until he drowns. Or gets...
Luciano (15:50.038)
Yeah, like drawn them in honey.
Matt (15:51.127)
Mm hmm. Yeah.
Luciano (15:54.454)
Yeah, or like take take up take up again, take a take a piece of like a beehive that was broken and like choke someone to death with it, something like that.
Spencer (15:55.859)
Sell that honey for profit!
matthew w (15:58.414)
Watch this.
Spencer (16:07.603)
I don't think it's well you could choke him or like force force it down his throat
Luciano (16:10.582)
You're gonna say it's not realistic? You're gonna say it's not realistic? Is that what you're gonna say?
matthew w (16:16.334)
wrap your hand in tape, like double -sided tape, and then stick all sorts of small bee stingers to it, and then just repeatedly find someone in the face. Just the actual bees.
Spencer (16:23.283)
Just no just bees. I like you know this you know this you know the scene in the in Rambo where he like puts the knuckles in like the sticky stuff and then in like nails He does that with live be and then starts watching it
Luciano (16:24.63)
Punch, let's punch people, yeah.
Luciano (16:33.654)
Yeah, I remember more the scene in Hot Shots where he does that with M &Ms and sprinkles. Yeah, it is from memory.
matthew w (16:33.966)
Yes. Yes.
Yep.
Spencer (16:42.227)
I know with Eminem, that's what I was thinking too. I was gonna say that first, but then I was like, it's actually from Rambo, so. But I just love the idea of him having live bees on his fists as he's fighting the guys.
matthew w (16:51.822)
What?
Luciano (16:52.054)
Hahaha!
Matt (16:52.951)
Perfect. That makes no, I think that would have made a lot better. You're right, Spencer.
Spencer (16:57.875)
I also think this movie suffered from not having enough B puns.
matthew w (17:01.102)
Mmm. Yeah.
Luciano (17:02.102)
Yeah, it was only one person making them.
Spencer (17:04.563)
To be or not to be. And he said, to be. To be. Bzzzz
Luciano (17:06.102)
Yeah.
Oh, that was good. That was good.
matthew w (17:11.854)
today.
matthew w (17:19.47)
Mmm.
Matt (17:19.927)
Seems like a lot of work.
Luciano (17:20.79)
Where there's a will, there's a way. Maybe he had something that he used to make some of the honeycombs and he used that to punch someone's hole in? Yeah? None of us do.
Spencer (17:21.395)
Seems like a lot of work.
matthew w (17:22.318)
Yeah.
Matt (17:31.095)
I'm looking at.
Spencer (17:31.443)
I'm learning now that I don't know enough about honey tools.
Matt (17:34.263)
I was going to say I looked up a Beekeeper influence thing. It's a nine piece set on Amazon. So take it for what it's worth. We have the smoker.
Spencer (17:40.147)
Okay, okay, what we got?
Spencer (17:45.363)
Okay, we already went through that, put in the bullet hole.
Luciano (17:46.23)
Yeah.
Matt (17:47.031)
Great. And then we have this, a little brush and then we have, great, great. Then this is two images. One looks like a crowbar essentially, but the other one is like, if you, it goes, it's like a straight piece of metal and it has a little bit of an edge on it, but it's like square and tiny. So it's not really an ax, but it could be used as an ax. And then we have, yeah.
Spencer (17:52.787)
Hold on. Brush acid on their face. Okay.
Luciano (18:01.526)
Oh, there you go.
Spencer (18:01.715)
Okay, well, that's easy. That's easy.
Spencer (18:12.979)
Okay, so used as an X.
matthew w (18:14.159)
a really tiny axe.
Matt (18:16.791)
And then we have... Ooh... I think, like that. Yeah. And then we have... You know, like the hair combs? Like the big ones with all the prongs? One of those, with the big long fancy handle. It's metal, yeah yeah. No, it's metal. Yes, but it's like...
Luciano (18:16.918)
Can jam it in someone's eye maybe.
Spencer (18:18.899)
I was gonna say that sounds like an eye gouger. Like a, like a, an eye scooper?
Luciano (18:20.822)
Yeah.
matthew w (18:21.198)
Yeah.
Luciano (18:24.534)
Yeah.
Luciano (18:31.51)
Yeah.
Spencer (18:35.859)
Is it metal or is it plastic? Okay, anything, what did you say? Metal? We're good. It's because you gotta look good when you're taking care of bees.
Luciano (18:37.494)
There you go.
matthew w (18:37.902)
Is it an - is it - is it an afro pic? Like -
matthew w (18:47.31)
Some funky bees.
Matt (18:47.319)
But it's got a big long handle to wrap your event. Just stab.
Luciano (18:50.038)
So yeah, no, no, you just use it like a vorpal sword. You just cut someone's head off with it.
matthew w (18:56.27)
Mmm.
Matt (18:56.983)
Okay, maybe a hand just cause it's a bit looks flimsy on my screen and then there's this thing to grip your hive with that it's like two wooden handles that you grip and then you can pull retract them or close them so have these little hooks grab on to each thing of the hive.
Spencer (19:13.939)
Oh, that sounds perfect. Pull a man's chest cavity open.
Luciano (19:14.422)
Yeah, you can pull fingers apart with that.
Matt (19:16.759)
Yeah. Well, it's like, it's not a single one. It's like a double one on like a, like a half a foot long thing. So it's hard to, you have to have someone with really long fingers to pull them off. That's what I'm getting at. Fair enough. Ah, it's, they're very narrow. So I don't think it would, it would work. A penis definitely.
matthew w (19:18.638)
Yeah.
Luciano (19:26.23)
When there's a will, there's a way.
matthew w (19:26.638)
Mmm. Could you put a man's head in there? Could you put a man's head in there?
Luciano (19:32.662)
Okay.
Spencer (19:33.715)
What about a penis?
matthew w (19:35.054)
Oh, yeah.
Luciano (19:35.99)
There you go, there you go.
Matt (19:39.351)
So yeah, that's beekeeping implements in case anybody was interested. And... You're welcome. Freeze frame. I did have a question about this movie because it plays fast and loose with the idea of this is in the real world. And I'm curious, like, what do you think the most realistic part of this movie was?
matthew w (19:43.15)
I like how we just froze on penis.
Spencer (19:43.507)
and how to use them. We always do.
matthew w (19:47.662)
Hahaha!
Luciano (20:03.542)
Hmm, that's a tough question.
Spencer (20:07.603)
Uh... That people had hair. Okay, okay.
Matt (20:07.959)
Alright, let me start you off. I got one. No, no, I got one. I got a real one. The level of successful police actions that took place in the movie.
Luciano (20:17.494)
Oh, yeah, yeah. Yep.
Spencer (20:20.435)
Ah, that's, I see. That's a commentary. Hmm, so subtle commentary. I would say what's real is the most realistic thing. I'm thinking somebody else go.
Matt (20:23.575)
Mmm, societal commentary.
Luciano (20:25.398)
Is it though?
Luciano (20:33.174)
I think the most realistic thing, well, the most fun realistic thing, I think, was when he ties Boyd or whatever the fuck his name garnet is to his truck and he like rams the thing and he flies off the bridge. He does like he just flies off with it in a very funny way. No, yeah, but but the physics of it, top notch.
Spencer (20:51.859)
But that wasn't realistic, he did it in broad daylight in the middle of a bridge.
Okay, the physics are realistic. Okay.
Matt (20:58.999)
Yeah.
matthew w (21:00.462)
So the jury rigging the car, that felt realistic. Like using the screwdriver to like jack the car. That seemed like he had some good truck knowledge. You know?
Luciano (21:07.414)
Oh, true, yeah.
Luciano (21:12.694)
He used a knife on the on the gas pedal, which was a little weird
matthew w (21:17.294)
Hmm.
Spencer (21:18.419)
I would say the most realistic thing was... BANSAW SAFETY, obviously. But I was gonna say, the most realistic thing for me was an old woman having a sexual relationship with her beekeeper.
matthew w (21:21.134)
Bansaw safety.
Luciano (21:24.918)
Hahaha!
matthew w (21:25.166)
Yeah, that happens.
Luciano (21:35.702)
Thought you're gonna say it was an old woman getting scammed by
Matt (21:38.231)
Allegedly.
matthew w (21:39.534)
Allegedly.
Spencer (21:39.667)
You can keep my bees any day.
Luciano (21:42.71)
Oh no.
Matt (21:44.119)
Sounds like you don't want to do that.
Spencer (21:45.779)
Heheheheh, it's a -
Luciano (21:46.87)
Actually, actually, the I think the most realistic thing is like an older person getting scammed out of all their money.
Spencer (21:56.563)
Yes.
matthew w (21:56.622)
I feel like she was that realistic though. I feel like she would have just heard the guy's voice and thought in her head, on a scale of one to tilde Swinton, how white is this person? And then be like, oh, full tilde. And then just hung up on him. Exactly.
Luciano (22:06.39)
Hahaha!
Spencer (22:09.267)
Never go full Tilda.
Spencer (22:13.747)
I mean, yes, it's very fair, but there are a lot of dumb people out there. There's definitely people falling for scams like that.
Luciano (22:20.662)
It's not even about being dumb, it's about not being tax -heavy.
matthew w (22:21.55)
Hmm.
Spencer (22:25.747)
Sorry, being tech dumb.
Luciano (22:27.862)
Okay, I'll allow it.
matthew w (22:29.518)
Although personally...
Matt (22:29.687)
You know, this is actually a good spot, sorry to cut you off, other Chris, but this is a really good spot to allow Luciano a moment to... Well, it's like a...
Spencer (22:29.811)
No.
matthew w (22:32.91)
Yeah, yeah, I know.
Luciano (22:38.134)
You
Spencer (22:40.147)
Oh boy, we can have a Luciano being a boring moment.
Matt (22:43.127)
Yeah, he gets a minute. And what we call it, it's nice you sang a song. We actually, it's, um, actually with Luciano. So if you want to sing to that.
matthew w (22:43.63)
Luciano moment!
Luciano (22:44.15)
Isn't that the whole thing?
matthew w (22:52.238)
I don't have one for that, unfortunately.
Luciano (22:53.526)
So...
Spencer (22:53.779)
song? Um, when you don't want to listen to a podcast, um, actually with Luciano.
Luciano (22:59.254)
Hahaha!
Luciano (23:03.734)
Thank you, motherfucker. It, the...
Spencer (23:05.299)
That's in the clip, that's that, for sure.
matthew w (23:06.254)
That should be part of the intro right there.
Luciano (23:11.318)
The whole scam thing, the whole thing from the way that the call center works. Why is that call center like some sort of an unholy offspring of a sports bar, a stock exchange and a land house? All of the stuff popping up in monitors and the guy on a microphone, like he was on a fucking auction house.
Matt (23:33.751)
I do have one question Spencer is that what it's like when you're buying NFTs with your friends?
Spencer (23:39.475)
It was it was now I would do that. When I bought it, I would do it at my house, but I would decorate my house exactly like that office and I would have recordings. I had a microphone and I have recordings of people cheering that I'd play like as if they were cheering me on.
Luciano (23:47.606)
That makes sense. Do you have a microphone too?
Luciano (23:53.75)
Nice. Yeah, that tracks.
matthew w (23:56.558)
Silk suit on top.
Matt (23:56.951)
Daraishi. Yeah.
Spencer (23:59.795)
I wore a suit underneath track pants.
matthew w (23:59.886)
Oh, I would think you'd use a silk suit and tighty -whities, nothing else.
Luciano (24:05.526)
I thought you just had like sweatpants and a blazer on. Something like that. Yeah.
matthew w (24:11.246)
Yeah, that works too.
Matt (24:13.655)
with a stained white t -shirt. That was the correct one. I've saw them once. But back to, actually it was Luciano.
Spencer (24:17.619)
it.
Luciano (24:19.19)
No, like, so it's ridiculous. Like it was going kind of okay. And like, when he's like, oh, click on this thing, install that thing. And then suddenly computers become magic. It's like his fucking gandalf the white. It's like immediately when she clicks the thing, they have all her information, all of her accounts, like all of that data that they had to mine.
Matt (24:42.039)
Why would she be the magician in this scenario? Sorry. Okay, thank you. Yeah, Mickey or... Yeah, Boyd. Yeah. Yeah.
Luciano (24:44.694)
Not she, not her, him. Yeah. Mickey or whatever the fuck his name is. No finger guy. There you go. And then like, so he and he keeps on switching when he's talking like, this is a fucking idiot. And like, how, how come he like, he had the thing to switch? Why would he like none of that makes sense? And then I'm not gonna go into it. And then once,
Spencer (24:50.963)
Boyd.
Luciano (25:14.486)
he has access to her computer, a bunch of stuff starts appearing on the screen, none of that needed to happen. If he had like access to her to her machine, shut up. And then. And then when he does get the password, he gets the money immediately, immediately out of all of accounts. No, no, that's not how that works. That's not how that works. And the movie knows because he sends a bunch of emails to her. Oh, fraudulent fraudulent thing.
Spencer (25:24.051)
me me me me
Spencer (25:32.947)
Yeah, because he copied and pasted the money from the account to his account.
Luciano (25:43.094)
And it's like, I was like, okay, so he's just going to recover the money. You know, she recovers a bullet in their head. So none, none of that makes any sense.
Spencer (25:48.723)
That's the other, yeah.
Matt (25:49.975)
Nah, that's a minute, I'm sorry, that's enough. That's all the time we have for - I'm actually with Luciana.
Luciano (25:53.366)
Fine. What the fuck is a cyber beef? What the fuck is a cyber beef? No, I'm out. I'm out. I know.
Spencer (25:53.907)
You've had your time. Welcome back to the podcast. Welcome back to the podcast with.
Matt (25:58.871)
Sorry, you wasted your one minute on the money thing. You could use it for cyber beef. He chose not to that's your own fault that's That is a bad joke my joke also Judge against Spencer's is it is going to be a new listing on the Taco Bell menu cyber beef Yeah, yeah Say we all wrapped it together perfect Perfect segue to talk about something very different
matthew w (26:04.622)
Ha ha!
Spencer (26:06.035)
Where's the Cyberbeef?
Luciano (26:08.086)
Yeah.
Spencer (26:10.579)
Thank you.
matthew w (26:15.95)
Oof. Oof.
Luciano (26:16.438)
Oh, nice, nice.
Spencer (26:16.659)
better.
Now you can get diarrhea digitally.
Luciano (26:20.726)
Yeah, you can get digital runs!
matthew w (26:20.75)
Hahaha
Matt (26:28.279)
Um, I, I...
This movie, how do I put this correctly, confuses me. And I'm confused because I don't know, how to put this? I don't know. Well, at a certain point, I do, it's the present thing. Like, right?
Luciano (26:37.526)
Hahaha
Spencer (26:49.331)
What the fuck is going on?
Luciano (26:50.39)
For most of it.
Luciano (26:57.302)
Oh, yeah.
Matt (26:59.223)
It's like the movie's fun, we're doing our thing, we're going off the ladder, we're getting to the top kid, and then there's just like sprinkling that his mom's the president of the United States. Or United States. What was that about? Yeah, but like, why?
Spencer (27:07.635)
Yeah, that -
I actually saw that coming. When he said...
Luciano (27:16.79)
Some people are untouchable or whatever.
Spencer (27:18.803)
No, no way. It was when he said when the Queen B is out of line, sometimes you need to like one B will come back. Yeah. And I was like, OK, that's like foreshadowing. And I'm like, are they really going to go for the president in this? I'm like, no, they can't do that. That's like too fucking wild. But then when I saw his his mom and she's like, oh, your mama owes me a favor. I was like, OK, she's the president. Got it.
Luciano (27:22.998)
Oh, right. The one, the Slayer B, the Slayer B. Yeah.
matthew w (27:29.166)
of her defective offspring.
Luciano (27:32.214)
Yeah.
matthew w (27:36.366)
Yeah.
Luciano (27:44.726)
I thought it was going to be like a Senator or something like that because she talks to the Flash wireless WES there. And...
matthew w (27:52.366)
Yeah.
Matt (27:53.399)
Right. And she has the flag on her lapel and stuff, but that's all just Senator Mumbo Jumbo.
Spencer (27:58.355)
Yeah.
Luciano (27:58.582)
Yeah, and then she goes, she goes like, Oh, I want you to protect him. And he goes, All right, fine. I'll do it for you. Wallace, I still think about you sometimes. What? Sometimes and then hangs up and no, that's not even that's not even his Jeremy Irons.
Spencer (28:09.459)
And then he goes, sometimes. That's your Jeremy Irons? Sometimes. Sometimes.
Matt (28:16.791)
It's like, uh, it's this accent from Die Hard, but through English filter and cleaned up to be American. There you go.
Spencer (28:25.971)
As I was going to St. Ives, I met a man with seven wives. Each man had seven cats, each cat had seven kittens. Kittens, cats, dogs, and wives, how many were going to St. Ives? Go McLean! Because I love that movie. Somebody had fun.
Luciano (28:28.918)
That would have been better. Like he couldn't even keep the accent going on the same word.
Matt (28:36.535)
No. Why do you have all that memorized you sociopath?
Luciano (28:42.23)
Yeah, it's concerning.
matthew w (28:45.102)
Hehehehe
Matt (28:49.591)
Let's use that as a segue to talk about some psychopaths.
Spencer (28:52.563)
Okay, that's kind of a thing. That's good.
Matt (28:55.639)
The beekeeper organization. We accept that it exists as a construct in the movie to say there's a beekeeper and he goes around cleaning up beekeeping. Fine. It's much like John Wick and you know, the world that there's like assassins that no one knows about. Fine. No, I will not let you besmirch the name of Judd Shred with this shit. Never will it happen. No, he's not the law. He's the -
Spencer (28:58.995)
Yes.
Luciano (29:03.51)
Beekeeping.
Spencer (29:07.731)
No, let's call it what it is. He's Judge Dredd.
Luciano (29:11.19)
Yeah, I even wrote it like that. Judge, jury and executioner.
Luciano (29:21.974)
What was that? Was that your sly?
Matt (29:23.991)
He's the opposite of... yeah. Better. He's the opposite of Judge Dredd. Because he doesn't follow any laws. He is immoral. Anyways, I'm not gonna rant about Judge Dredd. No, but Judge Dredd has a very specific set of rules he operates by. You don't understand judges at all. Fuck you. Shut up. We're moving on to the plot hole. You've seen one movie. Congratulations. You know as much about Judge Dredd as the beekeeper, which is nothing.
Spencer (29:25.139)
Yes, I am law.
Luciano (29:27.35)
That's better.
Spencer (29:34.387)
No, he's not amoral, he's judged jury and executioner. They say that in the movie.
Luciano (29:42.038)
Hahaha!
Spencer (29:42.451)
I haven't seen the original Judge Dredd in a long time.
Spencer (29:52.371)
My life is a lie
Matt (29:53.815)
But as in this question, then you need to figure out this fast. The Vkeeper organization in the movie, with a show was how it operates the things that happen.
Luciano (30:02.934)
What? What? Yeah. What? Yeah.
Matt (30:03.767)
How? What? Like, there are beekeepers that operate in the world and he's retired. But then he kills the retired beekeeper, which I guess you're allowed to do because they don't follow the law. Like, okay, and then no one does anything.
Spencer (30:05.811)
Is that a question?
matthew w (30:07.886)
Thank you.
Luciano (30:18.006)
Yeah, none of it really makes sense because at one point they say the current beekeeper and clearly clearly Jeremy Aron says the current beekeeper is a psychopath and should have been whatever put out of commission a long time ago. But then when he kills her mightily easy might I add that was the worst beekeeper in the history.
Spencer (30:18.227)
She doesn't kill.
Spencer (30:24.147)
Yeah, there's one beekeeper at a time.
Spencer (30:37.907)
That was, yeah, that sucked. I was really expecting like a big actor to come out and a big like, like being, yeah, like I just sent antagonists for the rest of the movie. Kind of like the way Con McGregor came in in Roadhouse to be the, oh, he's here! Connor, so happy to have you back!
matthew w (30:39.374)
Hmm.
Matt (30:39.447)
Oh yeah.
Luciano (30:42.486)
same like I could be a big fan I was like oh Idris Elba Idris Elba no nope that's what I thought too
matthew w (30:50.126)
Yeah.
Luciano (30:53.43)
Hot, hot, hot, hot, hot, hot, hot, hot, hot, yeah.
Matt (30:54.967)
Oh my god, the next beekeeper.
Luciano (30:59.158)
He would have been a better a better challenge to the beekeeper I think but
matthew w (30:59.502)
I'm sorry.
Spencer (31:05.811)
That was just, yeah, that was probably one of the most disappointing parts of the movie. She's like, we have a new beekeeper. I'm like, oh, that's cool. It's like going to be like another Jason Statham type, like really bad ass. And then she comes in, she's like, she's like, whoa, like Lily comes flying in and just gets killed immediately.
Luciano (31:08.886)
Yeah.
Matt (31:14.583)
Yeah, the rock.
matthew w (31:14.894)
Yeah.
Luciano (31:17.846)
Yeah!
matthew w (31:18.798)
It started off good, I mean they were like doing the whole like flips and kicks at each other, it started off decent but then it just was like done.
Luciano (31:27.766)
No, but like...
Spencer (31:28.083)
Yeah, but I would have expected like a really cool like, you know, they're both beekeepers. So they're like part of an elite club. I thought like he'd walk up and be like, good to see you, Clay. I see you've been taking things into your own hands. Yeah, like, you know, like, yeah.
Luciano (31:37.11)
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. And give us a little bit of exposition in the conversation, something like that. And honestly, I thought, okay, so this is going to be their first fight and they're going to like limp away hurt from each other. No, he just curb stumps her. And then, and then, and then they're like, oh, the beekeepers are keeping out of this. Why wasn't he a beekeeper? And then he's retired.
matthew w (31:37.134)
Yeah.
Matt (31:38.327)
Like Highlander shit, right?
matthew w (31:50.574)
Hmm.
Yeah.
Spencer (31:54.003)
Lights are on fire, pieces.
Spencer (31:59.763)
What? Why? Yeah, because, yeah, that's that.
Matt (32:00.951)
because they're all gone.
matthew w (32:02.734)
They have to go back to RuPaul's Drag Race and get another one basically.
Luciano (32:03.606)
There's only those two ladies that gave him the address and that's it.
Matt (32:09.079)
Yeah.
Spencer (32:10.259)
Well, can you guys answer your question? Is there one beekeeper at a time or is there multiple?
Luciano (32:10.358)
Yeah.
Luciano (32:16.566)
That's what they allude to.
matthew w (32:17.326)
This I was confused about as well.
Matt (32:19.287)
So I thought the movie told me that it was one beekeeper, but then I was reading the script and at one point Wally West is like, there's 50 beekeepers, but I don't know if that's the actual script or a version of the script. I'm looking at the script version I read and I see a date on it now and it's 2021, so it's probably not the final one they used. So they gotta change details.
Luciano (32:22.646)
Same.
Spencer (32:28.691)
Oh, that wasn't in the movie.
Luciano (32:30.294)
The fuck? Yeah.
Luciano (32:37.75)
The last? Yeah, yeah.
Spencer (32:40.019)
So it seems like they didn't officially decide if they wanted one or multiple because they say she's the new beekeeper like current. Oh, yeah, current. Yeah. And that was like, oh, my God. That's interesting that there's one like I like. That's kind of cool. But also how much could one person really do to save like an entire country from itself?
Luciano (32:47.67)
Current, yeah.
Matt (32:48.279)
Yes, like singular.
Luciano (32:56.79)
Yeah, exactly.
Luciano (33:01.494)
Yeah, but then it makes more sense. It makes more sense that it's just one because then you don't have like an army of psychopaths doing this. It's just the one psychopath, right?
matthew w (33:02.318)
I mean, Jason, stay fun. Bye.
Spencer (33:04.499)
Yeah, yeah.
Matt (33:12.983)
Fair. And I think one was fine. I don't think that was the biggest problem with the beekeepers. One of many problems. But I just like the other question I have with this organization, obviously, they don't cover it and we'll probably cover it later, but they don't talk a lot about what the beekeepers do or sorry, how they do it with where they come from, who they are. Like they're just this outside organization that gets to. Okay, thank you.
Spencer (33:38.323)
Let me clear this up for you Matt. Who Beekeeper? Why Beekeeper? What Beekeeper? When Beekeeper? Where Beekeeper? Yeah, they're a faithless organization without...
Luciano (33:41.974)
Yeah, yeah, exactly, exactly. Yeah. And I think that it would have been fine not to explain kind of like, you know, again, alluding to John Wick, the whole coin thing or whatever, but they had to have some sort of like meaning without it, right? Like, like we were saying, if the current beekeeper was as badass as Statham, then it's like, okay, fuck it. Who cares where they come from? But like,
where like what kind of a recruitment program recruits Adam Clay and whoever that woman was like what like was this just a problem of like interview the interviewer was like ah fuck this however it's fine you have the job because it doesn't make any sense to me that she would be absolutely no challenge to him whatsoever
Spencer (34:34.131)
The interview process is, do you like bees? I like bees. Here's your gun, here's your badge. Now police all of America. Go.
Luciano (34:36.822)
Yeah, are you a psychopath?
Police the U .S.
Matt (34:46.135)
You forgot to ask do you understand bees? If they say no, here's a book. If they say yes, great. Here's a goddamn notebook.
Spencer (34:49.491)
Yeah. Yeah. Here's your gun. Here's your beekeeping book. Here's your badge.
matthew w (34:49.55)
Yeah. Why also did we go? Why did we not get any scenes with that girl as well, like Karen for bees? Like, why wasn't she like when they contacted her, just standing there putting on her makeup in front of like an AP area or something or like, you know.
Luciano (34:52.374)
Yeah.
Luciano (35:08.278)
or making like making herself into a bee with makeup or something.
Spencer (35:08.627)
Yeah, that's... that would've been good.
matthew w (35:11.758)
or just creepily like pouring herself in honey or something, I don't know. Just to really drive home that she's insane, just like...
Spencer (35:12.499)
No. No.
Matt (35:19.735)
If this is really an 80s or 90s action movie, that would 100 % have to happen. You gotta have one scene with nudity for no reason.
Luciano (35:23.798)
Yeah, well, here we hear what we got was like, we have a problem. Oh, what is it? Eliminate Adam Clay. Oh, fun lol. I was like, oh, this is so fucking cringe. This this it was so like, how do you do fellow kids?
Spencer (35:24.243)
Yeah.
matthew w (35:24.494)
Yeah.
Spencer (35:26.867)
Yeah, exactly.
matthew w (35:36.014)
Yeah.
Spencer (35:40.499)
I was confused. For some reason, I thought that the person writing, ooh, fun law was the girl who was working the computer. I was like, oh, why would why is she against? I got that later. I was like, oh, she's the crazy one, I guess.
matthew w (35:45.582)
Yeah. Can I take a moment to set the scene of how that should have happened? Right after that, we get a phone call and it's a rustic, like old style bathroom. And she's sitting in a claw foot tub, just a dirty tub. And you don't see anyone in it. There's just some bubbles filled with honey. And then the phone rings. And we get from the scene from behind, she just emerges from the tub.
Luciano (35:46.998)
No, no, it was the beekeeper.
Yeah.
Spencer (35:55.667)
Yes.
Luciano (36:15.062)
from the honey, she was taking a honey bath. Nice.
matthew w (36:16.398)
just honey everywhere. And she picks up the phone and they're like, we have a job for you. And she doesn't say, yeah.
Spencer (36:22.227)
Sorry, let me just add honey dripping from her glistening nipples.
matthew w (36:26.414)
Yes. Yes. Don't even need the tan, the 80s tan. But she just doesn't even say anything. She just hangs up the phone, turns and says, turns and says, more bees. And then they just pour the bees in the tub and she just sinks back down.
Luciano (36:27.062)
Hahaha!
Spencer (36:30.643)
Just... Yeah.
Luciano (36:35.862)
No, no, no, no, no. She says.
No, no, when they call her, no, no, no, I got this. When they call her, they go, we have a job for you and she says nothing and the other person goes, eliminate Adam Clay and she goes, I will be right there and hangs up. That's it.
Spencer (36:43.251)
Wait, the bees are now in the honey?
matthew w (36:44.75)
YES!
Spencer (36:56.467)
Adam Clay.
matthew w (37:00.238)
Yes. Yes.
Spencer (37:02.227)
And then she says, honey, pay me with honey.
Luciano (37:04.726)
Yeah, honey, I will be right there.
Spencer (37:11.155)
And then, okay, but then she gets out of the tub and she's covered in honey from her glistening nips, walks away, camera slowly pans back to the tub and there's a body in the tub.
matthew w (37:14.51)
Yeah.
Luciano (37:20.438)
Yeah.
matthew w (37:20.526)
Yes, yes, or a body part, a head or something.
Matt (37:23.863)
You know how when you're doing improv and someone in the group says, no, it's this instead of yes and, and you're like, no, we should stop here. And then you don't edit. You regret it. Oh, okay.
Spencer (37:24.115)
to show she's evil and crazy.
Spencer (37:34.771)
Nope. Nope, don't know that. But what should have happened, not what he just said, she should have, she should, she, no, she should have said, excuse me, I, I, I'm feeling a little sick and then vomited a thousand bees that flew away. No, just to make sure she's evil.
Luciano (37:37.718)
Yeah. He's gonna, he's gonna know himself. No, what I said was stupid. This is what actually happened.
matthew w (37:40.238)
Hahaha!
Matt (37:40.343)
Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha
Okay
Luciano (37:53.078)
The fuck, Lord of the Flies now? The Lord of the Bees, I'm sorry.
matthew w (37:58.094)
She turns around from a mirrored scene and it's just a beard of bees down her face.
Matt (38:03.703)
I think just to continue this madness, I think she has like a ringtone and it's just a quote from Wicker Man. Wicker Man where Nicolas Cage is like, not the bees!
Luciano (38:12.374)
Hahaha!
matthew w (38:14.253)
Nothing!
Spencer (38:14.451)
No the bees! All the bees! Or she's lit.
Luciano (38:16.822)
Yeah, yeah. And she does the impression every time the phone rings, she does the impression along with the ringtone.
matthew w (38:18.574)
Yeah.
Matt (38:22.391)
Mm -hmm, every time.
Spencer (38:23.251)
Oh, not the bees, oh, the bees. And then she says, sorry, I was just listening to a little Queen Bay.
matthew w (38:30.414)
That's too far.
Matt (38:30.583)
Wow, that was too far. Now we're done.
Luciano (38:31.126)
Yeah, we need to we need to fucking move away from this.
Spencer (38:34.451)
And... and... scene.
matthew w (38:34.958)
To move away from it though, I will say... I will say though, that because they had the other guy at the end, I guess... The broo, broo, the like, the Lazarus guy. Why didn't they just send him? And then that was the whole thing between the two of them continuing, right?
Matt (38:35.255)
Y 'all done.
Luciano (38:43.574)
The brew, brew! Lazarus.
Luciano (38:51.094)
Yeah? Yeah?
Matt (38:54.359)
Great question. I want to ignore it because I feel like we've gotten off the plot point of the beekeepers organization functioning.
matthew w (38:57.87)
I
Spencer (38:58.451)
Hahaha!
Spencer (39:02.803)
Sorry.
matthew w (39:05.134)
Mmm.
Spencer (39:05.331)
Okay, yes. So the question is how does it function? So I think that, yeah, we've already answered this. No. I seem, like I said, apparently there's one person or many, and they, can we go over their job description? They say protect the hive like a hundred times, but it's pretty goddamn vague. So they, but they stop.
matthew w (39:10.574)
make it into a tub of honey.
Matt (39:28.727)
Mm -hmm. Bye.
Luciano (39:29.43)
Yeah.
Luciano (39:34.39)
What they describe, they describe it as keeping the system running, right? Keeping the system in check or whatever. So like, I guess if, you know, some, I don't know, some politician gets too powerful and starts doing some shit that is like fucking up the system or whatever the case may be, they go there and deal with it. Or, you know, some corrupt director of CIA protects the coked son of the president. He goes there and...
Matt (39:34.569)
keep Yeah
Spencer (39:35.091)
country from destroying itself?
Spencer (39:42.963)
Okay.
matthew w (39:54.862)
. . .
Luciano (40:03.574)
does something about it, something like that.
Spencer (40:03.699)
Mmm.
Matt (40:05.527)
Also, I think the implication is that they protect the hive and I think in many cases the threats come from outside the hive, not just inside the hive, but they really don't focus on that much. They just mention it as a one -off and then he continues to internally burn down the hive he lives in.
Spencer (40:13.459)
Mmm.
Luciano (40:15.478)
Yeah.
Luciano (40:20.214)
Yeah, I feel they wanted to give it like a Mission Impossible vibe to it too, where it's operated under the radar, nobody knows about it and all that stuff.
Spencer (40:21.011)
Yeah, well he was retired
Matt (40:24.151)
Yeah.
Matt (40:32.407)
Yeah, secret clandestine kind of, right? Hidden, hidden group.
Luciano (40:34.39)
Yeah, because even when Verona, the FBI agent, the daughter of the woman who died, talks about it to the deputy director of the FBI, he's like, oh, that doesn't exist, which...
Matt (40:45.847)
Well, the president doesn't know it exists, right? She has to be told by her erstwhile lover, Wally West, what the beekeepers are.
Spencer (40:49.043)
Mmm.
Luciano (40:50.006)
I think so.
Spencer (40:53.651)
So who fucking start, like the CIA guys don't know about it, the president doesn't know about it. Is this just made up by Jason Statham?
matthew w (41:01.55)
I dunno, it sounds like it's an allegory for the Proud Boys from what you guys have been describing. Sorry, did I go there? My apologies.
Luciano (41:05.718)
Oh no. Oh no. Oh no.
Spencer (41:06.003)
Oh God. We're the beekeepers. We protect the white nation from its threats. Oh no. Bee power. We don't want to taint the honey. Oh God.
Matt (41:08.055)
What did we w -watch?
Luciano (41:14.806)
Oh no.
Matt (41:14.839)
Be power!
matthew w (41:17.294)
So listen, if I follow that logic, I figure they just have a parade down to small town and recruit, I guess.
Matt (41:24.439)
Oh wow!
Matt (41:29.655)
Oh.
Spencer (41:32.691)
You ever notice the bees are getting outnumbered in our towns? What are you trying to say sir?
Luciano (41:36.694)
The ones with darker stripes are outnumbering the ones with the whiter stripes is what I'm saying.
matthew w (41:38.67)
Sorry!
Spencer (41:44.435)
Everyone knows that the ants run the banks. Sir, you sound insane. Would you like to join the beekeepers? Here's a gun, here's your badge. We don't need a badge. Oh, sorry, here's your gun.
matthew w (41:47.118)
The rest is...
Luciano (41:48.758)
Oh no!
matthew w (41:52.398)
I
Matt (41:54.679)
Do you know anything about bees? Sir?
Luciano (41:56.79)
Yeah. Yeah.
Luciano (42:02.966)
Yeah.
Matt (42:03.415)
No, I think that's, uh, that's, I don't know. I'm going to just, yeah.
Luciano (42:06.998)
Well, it's a good question. Like who, who is like, cause the C the mini driver is the CIA director because, because Wally West is retired. So the CIA knows about it, right. But they don't control it.
Matt (42:15.287)
the new one. Yeah. Yes. Also me too. But yes, she knows about it. The CIA is the one that knows about it. And I guess administers the program, like you said Luciano. But they probably have no control.
Spencer (42:18.419)
I thought you'd have a bigger role.
Luciano (42:28.758)
Right.
Spencer (42:30.355)
No, because they're not in control of it.
Luciano (42:32.694)
Yeah, and they don't clarify it.
Matt (42:34.551)
But it comes out, it's a byline of their budget essentially, Spencer. That's it. Yeah, I mean, based on the technology we're using, it's probably like 50 bucks a year or something cheap.
Spencer (42:38.323)
I see, they fund it maybe?
Luciano (42:38.358)
Hahaha!
Luciano (42:43.958)
Yeah, it's true.
Spencer (42:47.091)
I mean, this sounds like this is sounding more and more like a terrorist organization. No, it's government sanction. But the government is sending wave and wave of soldiers to stop these beekeepers.
matthew w (42:49.422)
I just saying.
Matt (42:50.391)
No, it's government sanctioned. Just off the books.
Luciano (42:54.934)
Yeah.
Matt (42:59.927)
I mean, that's fair. And they are sending a beekeeper to topple the existing government to install a different one. Hmm. You might be onto something.
Luciano (42:59.99)
Yeah.
Spencer (43:05.459)
Yeah, uh, just saying. Look into it.
matthew w (43:06.798)
I'm just saying.
Luciano (43:07.254)
Yep. Yep. Yep.
matthew w (43:11.278)
Just saying. I feel like it's maybe the ones that got rejected. Like even they're just like, this guy's got a little things wrong with him. I know where he could go.
Matt (43:19.895)
Oh yeah, it's like the men in black thing, right? Where they just like recruit different law enforcements except in this case they want the crazy one. So you have to get fired from a law enforcement job before they even look at you.
matthew w (43:22.51)
Yeah.
matthew w (43:27.47)
Yeah.
Spencer (43:27.539)
Yeah.
matthew w (43:31.246)
Yeah, exactly.
Spencer (43:32.083)
Yeah, they do. They do the shooting test like in Men in Black and you just you just shoot everything man woman child like you pass.
Luciano (43:32.182)
Yeah.
matthew w (43:37.742)
Hahaha!
Luciano (43:38.23)
And then, yeah, and no, and then they go like, you're fired. And then when you're leaving, they go, come here, I have a job for you.
Spencer (43:44.723)
No, no. They say you're fired and the ones that pull the gun on the instructor, they're like, I like you. That was a test. You passed.
Luciano (43:49.974)
Yeah.
matthew w (43:51.214)
Yeah, if they run out of bullets and then pick up a phone and just start smashing people in the face with it.
Luciano (43:55.254)
Yeah.
Matt (43:56.151)
You have to kill the instructor who was the previous speedkeeper, thereby taking his job.
Spencer (43:59.571)
Don't make this cool, Matt. Now I'm in.
matthew w (43:59.63)
You
Luciano (44:00.118)
Ah, it's like a Highlander thing. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You're making me like this.
matthew w (44:03.662)
Hahaha!
Matt (44:08.183)
How dare I? So I just have one final question. If we could answer it, I think we could move on to the fun question section. And my question is, how does the Beekeeper Organization actually function in this movie?
Luciano (44:21.206)
It doesn't. I think the answer is it doesn't because the one beekeeper who was competent retired and now it's done. The organization is done. They sent the other person who clearly was like a poor replacement and they were like, well, we tried nothing and we're out of ideas. And then they're out.
Spencer (44:21.459)
Well, is -
Spencer (44:31.027)
It's over. It was one guy.
matthew w (44:40.398)
Hahaha!
Spencer (44:40.499)
Well, it doesn't seem like there's a... Like, I would have liked to seen a boss of the Beekeeper organization or some sort of head.
Luciano (44:51.67)
I thought it was going to be the president. I thought like before we knew all of this shit, I thought it was going to be the president that was the only one who knew of all the beekeepers. The yeah, the queen bee. Yeah.
matthew w (44:57.614)
Mm. The head beekeeper. Well, they kept alluding it to it being like, she's the queen with her defective child. They also brought that up a lot too, so now I'm starting to think...
Luciano (45:08.054)
Yeah, the defective male offspring is what they call them. Which, let's be fair, PETA is defective in many ways in this. Coquettly defective.
Spencer (45:08.115)
Yeah why do they keep saying defective child? Yeah it's like come on that's a weird way of wording it. Yeah he nailed it. Yes.
matthew w (45:19.246)
I think it's because he's short that's why they were going at him. The dude's making money for you so I thought like...
Spencer (45:22.387)
Right?
Spencer (45:26.355)
Jason Statham goes up to him, he's like, how tall are you? I'm like, 5 '8". Protect the hive! Protect, protect the hive.
matthew w (45:29.422)
Hahaha!
Luciano (45:32.374)
De - De - De - Defective, yeah. But, but like, I also didn't believe for a second that she didn't know the money for her campaign was dirty. Like, where did the money came from? No, but like, she plays it even with him as if she didn't know. We already told you it doesn't work. It doesn't work.
matthew w (45:32.878)
You
matthew w (45:44.878)
Hmm.
Spencer (45:44.979)
Oh, she knew.
Matt (45:48.279)
Hey man, I just want to answer a simple question. Why are you guys so coldly derailing off of my question?
Spencer (45:50.963)
Sorry.
Spencer (45:55.571)
Cuz you ask a question which we have no answer for cuz this movie doesn't show anything.
Luciano (45:57.11)
Yeah, exactly. Yeah.
matthew w (45:59.534)
The answer is it doesn't function, it's done. There's no problem with this.
Luciano (46:02.006)
it doesn't function yeah jason's datum retired and it got fucked it doesn't exist anymore it's done
Spencer (46:04.627)
Okay, here.
matthew w (46:08.398)
He killed the whole beekeeper thing with him. He took it with him and his bees.
Spencer (46:09.715)
Okay.
I'll write a backstory for the beekeeper, okay? There was a leader of the FBI who realized that with all the powers of the FBI, their name was Felix Octavian. And he was the head of the FBI, but he realized that even with all these powers at his disposal, he was tied up.
Luciano (46:15.254)
Oh no.
Matt (46:25.303)
was their name.
Spencer (46:41.619)
with the bureaucracy of government and he couldn't really protect the country. Obviously this man was a insane bee enthusiast in his own time. This is the prequel movie by the way. And after he retires, the organizations that he tried to get taken down with the FBI target his family and kill his family.
Matt (46:52.887)
Mm -hmm.
Mm -hmm.
Spencer (47:08.595)
And that is when he decides to start the beekeeper initiative. And then, oh yeah, this is a rogue operation, but he has ties. He has ties, though, to like the uptops. So he kind of like gets funding from his old colleagues and they kind of keep it off the books. You know, it starts off as it's completely non sanctioned. But he gets funding from people in the top of the country and.
Luciano (47:11.926)
his own?
Luciano (47:15.734)
Oh!
matthew w (47:18.83)
So so Roadhouse
Spencer (47:37.491)
goes to the like goes to bars and finds people who fight people for no reason. And yeah, he goes to Roadhouse bars and scenes and he just finds people that are a little bit off who coincidentally also like beekeepers. Yeah. And he says, I'd like to talk to you about the beekeeper initiative and. Hire them, trains them, blah, blah, blah. And the program is so successful.
Luciano (47:43.894)
They go to road, he goes to road houses you mean? Yeah. Okay.
Matt (47:47.319)
Right.
Luciano (47:53.398)
The first beekeeper's name was Dalton. Yeah.
matthew w (47:55.918)
Mmm.
Spencer (48:07.347)
that it gets brought into the government on a blacklist sort of operation. And then he finds out his son survived the killings and that son was Adam Clay.
Luciano (48:21.494)
So this is like a few years ago that it started.
matthew w (48:27.31)
Ahem.
Spencer (48:27.827)
Oh yeah, the Beekeeper Association started 40 years ago and actually killed Hitler. 80 years ago. Did I not mention the time travel part? Everybody knows bees can travel through time.
Matt (48:37.047)
It's also a time travel organization.
Luciano (48:37.814)
Oh, I mean, listen, listen, it makes about, it makes about, it makes about as much sense as the rest of this movie. So it's on brand.
Matt (48:45.175)
It's implied.
matthew w (48:48.43)
I have a quick question. Do you think a Candyman is like the Jedi of the Beekeepers? Like he's like the dude with the hook, he just like appears? I'm thinking there might be a connection there.
Matt (48:48.759)
I -
Spencer (48:56.563)
Oh, that's you. Listen, we're we're we're we're crossing work. Yeah.
Luciano (49:00.406)
Or like the handler, he's the beekeeper handler. That's what he is.
Matt (49:01.015)
That's a sequel for sure.
matthew w (49:03.438)
Yeah, he's like the Obi -Wan Kenobi of them. You know? He just...
Spencer (49:07.251)
Yeah, we're crossing IPs soon.
Matt (49:07.511)
How do you handle a beekeeper with a candy man?
matthew w (49:11.438)
Yeah, there you go. I like it.
Luciano (49:11.798)
Yeah!
Spencer (49:12.211)
That's the sequel get there and also I'm a little disappointed this movie didn't show any dancing because bees everyone knows bees communicate through dance so
Luciano (49:21.558)
Yeah, true. Oh, they should have had that fight just be a dance between dance off between the two beekeepers.
matthew w (49:22.35)
Yep. Yep.
matthew w (49:27.886)
A twerk off. They should have just been twerking. Left and right.
Luciano (49:30.742)
Well, I mean...
Spencer (49:31.283)
Well, that would be a good scene if she walked in and they were at like one of those club or one of the big fancy parties and it's like the salsa music, not salsa, or like, you know, tango music playing and she grabs him and she goes, hello Clay and they dance. That's very sexy. Yeah, he wins the dance by break dancing to the tango.
Luciano (49:44.214)
and then he wins the dance and she leaves?
Matt (49:47.127)
Mm -hmm.
Luciano (49:53.654)
Okay.
matthew w (49:54.51)
I would have just preferred he walks in and it's working and then he breaks down and says, no, this is how you do it. He just starts going. I think that works. But he's got exactly, but he's got underwear on that's black and yellow striped.
Matt (49:54.647)
This is Eric.
Spencer (50:01.843)
Yeah, I mean, that's how you put butts in seats.
Luciano (50:09.974)
Of course, that's all he wears.
Matt (50:10.199)
This is the best time to segue. No, this is how I'm segueing. Now I have to edit this. No, I'll know.
Spencer (50:13.107)
And that's how the Beekeepers Association was started.
matthew w (50:20.462)
Hehehe
Matt (50:22.551)
But this is a good segue, because I think now is the time to talk about a very similar question to this one. And it's mostly for Spencer, if I'm honest. Spencer, what is this movie's problem with NFTs?
Spencer (50:30.835)
Yes.
Spencer (50:34.771)
Ah, well, this is the problem. This movie was written when NFTs were at an all time low because they had a big boom and then they crashed. Right now they're coming back. So, you know, what you guys need to do is log on your computer, enter Friend Friendly Friend dot com. Is that what the website was? Friendly Friend dot com.
Luciano (50:48.822)
Oh no.
Luciano (50:57.462)
Oh, that's, yeah, it was the worst URL of, oh my God, yeah.
matthew w (50:59.214)
Yeah.
matthew w (51:02.702)
Yeah.
Spencer (51:03.251)
And you're gonna go ahead and click download. And then you're gonna see an NFT of me and you're gonna go ahead and press buy. Sorry, what was the question? No, this movie, yeah, this movie had a grudging, but because NFTs are associated with like tech bros, rightly so.
matthew w (51:05.646)
Gotcha.
matthew w (51:12.75)
Ha ha!
matthew w (51:19.022)
Yeah.
Matt (51:19.895)
True. Yeah.
Luciano (51:22.166)
Well, Pira was like, he was like an amalgamation of all the tech bros ever.
Spencer (51:26.515)
Yeah, I did love that scene though where the guy's like, what do you want? I have crypto. I have NFTs. And then he's like about to kill him. He's like, I said I have NFTs. Like he says it again, like as if that's like gonna change everything.
Luciano (51:30.774)
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah.
Luciano (51:41.462)
Yeah, he goes to the girls, he goes, Oh, yeah, I have some crypto tips. Just follow me on Insta. I'm like, oh, fucking cringe, cringe.
Spencer (51:49.875)
Yeah, it was good. He should have said, you have any NFBs as he threw him off the bridge? Yeah, that's on you. That's your fault.
Matt (51:57.143)
Well, I let that go too long, that's on me. Just trying to give you some room. Now let's ask you a different question entirely. This is actually about the movie. I want to know how you become a beekeeper. They don't talk about it, but we got to know because there are some wildly different skill sets being on display between Antoinette, Marionette.
Luciano (51:57.238)
Jesus Christ. Yeah, that is your fault.
Luciano (52:20.022)
Oh, did you have a name?
Matt (52:21.751)
Allegedly I saw it in the IMDB. And it's set. There it is. One of them is good at their job and one of them is not good at their job. So how do they get hired? What's the SAT score they like get? Like a BAT score for B's? You know what? It's here and I did it. So continue. Yes and. Don't just move forward.
Spencer (52:24.147)
allegedly who who alleges this?
matthew w (52:26.03)
Thank you.
Spencer (52:41.139)
That's worse than my NFB's joke.
Luciano (52:42.23)
It is. It really was. It really was.
matthew w (52:46.35)
I have got one. I like... I like to think that they put them in a room filled with bees and then use the bees to see how that they like pick them like they either the bees come to them and like form like a bee suit or like the bees just... the bees... yeah exactly. Is it bee Arthur? I don't know.
Spencer (52:47.155)
Sorry, yes and that was terrible.
Luciano (52:48.63)
hahahaha
Spencer (53:05.907)
Oh, the peas choose.
Matt (53:06.391)
It's B -Armor.
Spencer (53:09.395)
I'd I like I just like just to be Arthur I Do like the idea of them putting them in a room like putting like imagine just like 400 people in a room with 10 ,000 yeah, that's how well that's how you get the cream of the crop you put
Luciano (53:13.014)
Be Arthur, yeah.
Matt (53:16.343)
Either or. Yeah.
Luciano (53:16.79)
That's B. Arthur is the name of the director of the Beatkeepers.
matthew w (53:20.046)
Yeah.
Matt (53:20.247)
Uh huh, yeah, it's good.
Luciano (53:28.31)
400, holy shit.
The crimp of the cop, if you will.
Spencer (53:35.603)
No, that doesn't work in this situation. We're not talking about police. So you put. Yeah, yeah. No, you put 400 people in a room with 10 ,000 bees and they're and they just say, let the bees decide. They just they don't even watch and they just wait till one person is left.
matthew w (53:36.622)
Hahahaha!
Luciano (53:36.95)
Yes, it does. Yes, it does.
Matt (53:41.815)
I'm pretty sure I also said that when we were playing the episodes. Now it's very confusing to everybody else.
Luciano (53:44.278)
You did. I stole it and I stole it. Yeah
Luciano (53:59.766)
Yeah, I think honestly that makes sense.
Matt (54:01.463)
Bye!
Spencer (54:01.523)
That is the training.
Matt (54:05.367)
I just have to say I'm yes ending you Spencer and going back to Matt's B room scenario because I think you just put him in there you get him great. You know what I'm gonna build off yours of this 400 people and 10 ,000 bees it's actually reverse scenario the bees aren't selecting. Everybody's gotta fuck as many bees as they can for five minutes. Yeah, yeah.
matthew w (54:05.55)
Maybe the, yes, sorry.
Spencer (54:14.963)
same room? I said the same thing? Okay, okay.
Spencer (54:28.307)
What? What? You're off the rails this time.
Luciano (54:29.366)
What, fuck? Wait, what?
Matt (54:33.975)
Wow. Just, oh, yeah.
matthew w (54:35.502)
Hold on though, does it qualify as just penetration or do they actually have to go to completion?
Spencer (54:39.699)
Oh no, no, I'm stopping.
Luciano (54:41.91)
Yeah, no, we need to, no.
Matt (54:42.455)
Every bee has to go to complete shit.
Spencer (54:44.371)
I'm... I'm... No.
matthew w (54:46.094)
Oh
Luciano (54:46.55)
No, there's no stop. Yes. Ending this shit. Just end it Yeah
Spencer (54:50.227)
Yeah, yes and it's over. Yes and for all our protection we've stopped.
Luciano (54:58.71)
I just thought they went to jails and got the worst psychopaths they could find. Not 400, maybe like 40?
matthew w (55:06.83)
in.
Spencer (55:08.019)
No, he let let's be real. He's not a psychopath. He's. He has a strong moral compass.
Luciano (55:11.83)
Yes he is.
Matt (55:12.951)
No.
Matt (55:17.687)
and he has one personality trait.
Spencer (55:19.635)
and he has one personality trait. What's that? That he likes bees?
Luciano (55:23.094)
Yeah.
Matt (55:23.351)
Just bees, everything about bees, yeah.
Spencer (55:24.755)
Bees? Just bees. It says on your resume here, bees.
Luciano (55:26.582)
Yeah, that's what I was gonna say. They find like the weirdest, like most unhinged people they can possibly and then they do like sort of a quiz about bees and whoever has the highest score gets hired as a beekeeper.
matthew w (55:41.134)
I mean if you wanted to find someone who's crazy and hinged with bees, just go to any one of those holistic centers where they sting themselves to cure like, I don't know, ALS or something like that or what they think it does. That's an actual thing by the way, real world facts. Maybe that's how they pick them.
Luciano (55:50.55)
Holy shit. Yeah. Oh, I know, I know. I know. And that...
Spencer (55:57.011)
Why are you insulting my profession and livelihood? Like, why did you bring that into this?
Matt (55:59.863)
Hahahaha
matthew w (55:59.918)
hahahahah
Luciano (55:59.99)
Hahaha!
matthew w (56:03.438)
Maybe that's how they get - well because maybe that's what happens. They keep doing it and then they gain B powers.
Luciano (56:06.006)
That's where the recruitment center is. That's what the recruitment center is.
Spencer (56:08.371)
Listen, bee sting therapy has been proven by one or two doctors, by countless homeless people. They stand by it.
matthew w (56:13.422)
No one.
Luciano (56:13.75)
Countless person! Countless person!
matthew w (56:19.406)
You
Matt (56:22.615)
You know what? This is actually a very good segue to our next question. And that is, how would you create the perfect scam?
Spencer (56:22.739)
Um...
matthew w (56:29.774)
Mmmmm
Luciano (56:30.71)
In the.
Spencer (56:30.835)
like the scam that they're running in the movie? Well, have I told you about my NFTs?
Matt (56:32.791)
Or like the scam that you're running.
Luciano (56:35.574)
Wow, if he... Yeah, I was gonna say Spencer already gave us his answer.
Spencer (56:40.787)
You go to Friendly Friend. But what's the best scam?
matthew w (56:42.478)
You
Luciano (56:45.046)
Hmm.
matthew w (56:47.374)
I still don't even know what the second scam was in that building. Like, it just looked like they were in like a karaoke bar. Was it the same thing? Because they had a whole thing with like, it looked like people were winning money on a Japanese game show. Like, I don't know what was going on in that second one.
Luciano (56:51.765)
It's the same. Yeah, well, yeah. It's always the same thing.
Luciano (57:00.598)
Yeah, oh the one the the one in New York. Yeah. Yeah
matthew w (57:03.79)
Yeah.
Spencer (57:05.715)
Listen, we're not talking about their scam, we're talking about our scam. I actually had an idea for a scam that is probably too good of a scam to say on this show, because it would work.
Luciano (57:06.134)
That was weird.
Matt (57:16.055)
If you make any money from the scam, make sure you give the credit to the cops. Spencer, not the show to see, just Spencer. I don't want to get arrested, whatsoever.
Spencer (57:20.275)
Credit credit the show. Yeah. Oh, no, no, no, it's this show. It's Matt. Matt's popcorn and bottles. The scam is, you know, you know those guys that run 5050 raffles at like a sporting events and shows and things like that, where it's like half of the money goes to one thing and half of the money goes to that. You just whenever they do that, it's just a guy in like a vest and like a terminal.
Luciano (57:27.222)
Hahaha!
Spencer (57:49.747)
that like accepts money. You just do it for cash. Forget the terminal. You just carry a bunch of raffles around and go to events and just say, would you like to buy a 50 -50 ticket? And then you just, and you say, well, email the winners. You don't email anyone. You just walk away with all the money. Yeah, we'll find you. Don't worry. And then yeah, there's your skim. You just walk around with a vest and tell people you're doing a 50 -50. You just walk around and go, 50 -50 tickets!
matthew w (57:59.63)
Mmm.
matthew w (58:04.142)
You just walk away.
Luciano (58:04.918)
Don't even take their emails. Don't even take their emails. Just say, we'll find it. We'll find it.
Luciano (58:16.95)
You don't even need computers. You don't even need computers for this one.
Spencer (58:19.443)
50 -50 dig it! Boom. Bob's your uncle.
Matt (58:24.823)
Alright, that's a legitimate scam that you definitely won't get arrested for.
Spencer (58:27.571)
That's a legitimate scam. Very possible. You know what? I'm not gonna lie. I think this was pulled on me. So... And I'm gonna find you if you're listening, Mr. 50 -50 -best. Yeah, yeah.
matthew w (58:28.526)
I feel like there's literally people who do that.
Luciano (58:30.774)
Yeah.
Matt (58:31.159)
Probably.
Luciano (58:35.35)
hahahaha
Matt (58:35.351)
Hahaha!
matthew w (58:36.43)
Hahaha!
Matt (58:39.287)
Yeah.
do give credit to the police in this one specific instance of the show.
Luciano (58:48.182)
Yeah.
Spencer (58:48.723)
I gave that guy 10k. How could I lose? The prize was $10 ,100.
matthew w (58:50.126)
Where have you been keeping your phone though? That's what I'm wondering.
Matt (58:50.455)
You
Luciano (58:50.774)
Oh, again?
matthew w (58:57.006)
Meanwhile, Spencer is literally pulling his cell phone out of like a jar of honey. Just like, I will find you.
Spencer (59:01.363)
No.
Matt (59:03.031)
It's a lot. It's a lot. It's a lot going on there. Okay, no, that's fair. Different question.
We'll go with the retirement options for beekeepers. I think there's probably a specific list they can choose from because while the government's happy to have these social, I mean, loyal citizens run around and keep the system in check, what they don't, they don't want them to all run off and just take up whatever, you know.
military contracts and stuff. They want to make sure they're controlled and looked after. So there's probably a set list of, you know, like 10, 20 jobs they can take. So beekeeper really on the nose. What other ones can they get into to keep them calm and not like fly off the handle?
Luciano (59:40.406)
Right, right.
Luciano (59:53.334)
Oh, okay, wait, just to clarify, you think that that's why Adam Clay took actual beekeeping? Just to kind of keep the... like the...
Matt (01:00:01.175)
The words I said are now canon. So yes, you have to answer that very specific. The specific specification, just so you're clear, stop talking so I can say this so we can catch Spencer up and make it look like it's part of the podcast. So this specific thing we're looking for here is we want a list of professions beekeepers can retire to that'll keep them calm and relaxed so they don't flap the handle and burn the entire system down, including killing the president's son.
Luciano (01:00:04.63)
Okay, so let's see what else they can do.
Luciano (01:00:14.262)
Pfft.
Spencer (01:00:32.691)
Does it have to be bee related?
Luciano (01:00:36.47)
Probably not, because then you only have like two that you can do. Yeah. Be jockey.
Matt (01:00:37.559)
I... How many other beef professions are there?
Spencer (01:00:42.323)
Oh there, did I tell you about my bee sting hospital? Oh we're growing.
Luciano (01:00:47.318)
Oh, it's a hospital now, it's not just a clinic.
matthew w (01:00:52.782)
I don't know, we're talking about being calm, right? It's maybe like a capybara farm, I guess? Like just rolling with giant rodents?
Luciano (01:00:59.094)
Cup.
Spencer (01:01:01.139)
I think that they insist, what are the odds that he went into beekeeping after being a beekeeper? I think that was insisted upon that he go into on brand retirement.
Luciano (01:01:08.566)
I don't think so. I think he was just he just got too far. He got too into the thing. I think. Well, the honey, not the Kool -Aid, but the yeah. Anyway, I think I'm not OK. Show your work. Yeah.
matthew w (01:01:10.99)
Hamster Assassin.
Spencer (01:01:15.187)
You're just saying he was drinking the Kool -Aid like a little too hard? Oh.
matthew w (01:01:17.198)
Hmm.
matthew w (01:01:21.454)
Hamster Assassins.
Matt (01:01:24.055)
Is that what what what happens? What are what are?
Spencer (01:01:26.195)
How is that a retirement plan?
matthew w (01:01:27.502)
training hamsters to be to to get intel for assassinations.
Luciano (01:01:34.902)
Okay, so an educator is what you're saying.
Matt (01:01:35.159)
Okay. Yeah. We're round enough to an animal trainer in general. Yeah. Pigeons can also murder for sport, I guess. That's fine. Not going to keep you calm per se, but you know.
Spencer (01:01:37.491)
Mm -hmm.
matthew w (01:01:38.51)
Yes. Pigeon training. Pigeon training.
Luciano (01:01:42.326)
An animal trainer, yes.
matthew w (01:01:46.542)
Yeah.
Luciano (01:01:48.534)
I was going to say maybe to give way to their like bone breaking proclivities, maybe chiropractor. It's not really bone breaking, but it gets close. Maybe that will keep.
Matt (01:02:00.183)
Mm -hmm, okay.
matthew w (01:02:04.494)
Zen Garden?
Matt (01:02:06.647)
Yeah, I mean I would say at first blush they don't have the training to be a chiropractor but arguably they didn't have the training to be a beekeeper and that worked out fine.
Luciano (01:02:11.606)
That never stopped anybody Yes, that never stopped anybody You go tell them they can't do it
matthew w (01:02:13.838)
Hahaha!
Matt (01:02:17.271)
so.
Yeah, that is fair. So, I mean, I think if you're looking for someone to do a relaxed profession they can really lose themselves in. Cosplay? Would that work? Furries, specifically.
Luciano (01:02:33.91)
Ah, I was gonna ask, okay. Yeah?
Matt (01:02:36.183)
Yeah.
Spencer (01:02:36.403)
Can you cosplay as a bee?
Luciano (01:02:38.774)
For sure the world the world the world is your beehive, man
matthew w (01:02:38.798)
Yeah, I was gonna think that too.
Matt (01:02:38.871)
It's implied, heavily implied.
Spencer (01:02:41.747)
Okay, okay. Okay, then I'll accept it. God damn you. That one I will accept. That one was better though.
Matt (01:02:44.791)
Yeah. It's not bad.
Luciano (01:02:46.422)
Hahaha!
matthew w (01:02:47.246)
I don't know though.
There seems to be a lot of like negativity to sex work in this, so maybe the furry thing wouldn't be something they would promote. I'm just thinking. They'd be like, if...
Matt (01:02:56.567)
Oh yeah, they hate sex workers. Well...
Spencer (01:02:59.859)
He wasn't very judgmental of it. It was everyone else.
Luciano (01:03:01.27)
No, it was just the president. Yeah.
matthew w (01:03:01.39)
That's true.
Matt (01:03:01.431)
It's the president. Yeah. The president and everybody else around the president's son that hates sex workers. Is that it?
matthew w (01:03:04.238)
That's true.
Luciano (01:03:08.118)
Yeah.
Spencer (01:03:08.243)
the CIA and the CIA. Yeah.
matthew w (01:03:09.166)
Mmm. Yeah.
Luciano (01:03:11.126)
It's just because it makes it makes his mom look bad. That's
matthew w (01:03:15.758)
What about sex work? They could do that. They could. We're just gonna freeze on that one. Everyone literally, everyone pitch for Jason Statham as a sex worker. That might be how we met Mrs. flexible. I'm just saying.
Spencer (01:03:16.179)
Hmm.
Luciano (01:03:18.326)
They could, yeah, for sure. Like they could. Yeah, of course.
Matt (01:03:21.495)
WHA -WHA -WHA -WHA -WHA -WHA
Spencer (01:03:24.435)
No, no, I'm processing it and I'm trying to think about how to make that into B related.
Luciano (01:03:33.238)
Hahaha!
Spencer (01:03:33.363)
He, you know what? I'm pretty sure he'd make.
matthew w (01:03:34.638)
The honey makes excellent natural lube. I think we have some.
Spencer (01:03:38.355)
I think Honey does the opposite of what Loop does. When you really strip it down.
Luciano (01:03:40.63)
Yeah. Yeah.
Matt (01:03:43.127)
You know what though?
matthew w (01:03:45.486)
You could have sex and wax at the same time.
Matt (01:03:48.311)
Why don't you all try and get back to us? It's fun. You tell us. We'll do a scientific study. Yeah, let us know. Yeah, probably. Yeah. Now that's a scam. All right, that's fair. Different question then. Lazarus.
Spencer (01:03:48.755)
That sounds horrible. Yeah, audience, try it out. See for yourself.
Luciano (01:03:56.758)
Let us know. We have an email somewhere.
matthew w (01:04:00.174)
Send pictures to Spencer.
Luciano (01:04:02.262)
No, don't. Yeah, okay, to Spencer, I'm okay with that.
Spencer (01:04:02.867)
I'll make them into NFTs. Everybody wins!
matthew w (01:04:09.742)
haha
Matt (01:04:17.239)
He shows up at the end with his group of his team. Apparently, so what is the CIA is protecting? Well, Secret Service, Scott, is protecting the president's cottage.
Luciano (01:04:18.838)
BRUH
Spencer (01:04:20.435)
Pity.
Spencer (01:04:29.957)
Yeah, well, I was like, I was very confused because they have the power of the entire U .S. military to protect the president and to stop Jason Statham. They hire what appears to be a fortnight crew of like, like pink and like like just like it looks straight like a Call of Duty game, like somebody that would like to bag me after killing me with their like pink gun.
Luciano (01:04:30.358)
protecting with quotes around it because, yeah.
Matt (01:04:32.215)
Sure.
Luciano (01:04:40.31)
Yeah.
Luciano (01:04:47.669)
Yeah!
Luciano (01:04:57.462)
You know Lazarus would do that if he killed somebody. 100 % Brrr I can't
matthew w (01:04:59.726)
Hmm.
Spencer (01:05:00.499)
Brew. Brew. Brew, get good, man. Get good.
Matt (01:05:02.967)
So anyways, the rest of the question was what is his deal, Lazarus? Cause he just shows up in the house. Everyone else you're like, you got a backstory cause they're cops or they're like, they spend a lot of time talking about the FBI guys. We're like, this is a hardcore crew that takes down other people that can't take them down, blah, blah, blah. And they're like zero backstory for the Fortnite crew.
matthew w (01:05:23.15)
Hmm.
Luciano (01:05:27.19)
Mm -hmm.
Spencer (01:05:28.563)
Well, yeah, hey, bro, my team's called the ant farm. We run the banks.
matthew w (01:05:29.166)
Can we give him one?
Matt (01:05:31.959)
That's kind of what I'm asking, yeah.
Luciano (01:05:39.958)
I'm out.
matthew w (01:05:40.75)
of the hornets. We're the Charlotte Hornets.
Spencer (01:05:45.619)
Cause it kind of, they're a basketball team. That's the best backstory. We were number one, but we got sued by the NBA. Like, yeah, it seems like, cause he had, he's like the only person that like had, cause he said that they, he killed a beekeeper.
Matt (01:05:46.455)
That's just about watching the basketball team in our spare time.
Luciano (01:05:47.158)
Oh no.
matthew w (01:05:56.014)
Yeah.
Luciano (01:05:56.758)
in South Africa.
Luciano (01:06:02.294)
Yeah.
Luciano (01:06:14.454)
By a chick because he was lucky that's what he said and he lost a leg in the process
matthew w (01:06:16.27)
He was kind of an inspirat - Yeah, he was kind of inspirational though. I mean, you lost a leg, never let it hold him back. He, you know, went right in there. Kind of a feel -good story, you know? Yeah, a little. Yeah, that's true. Yeah. Yeah.
Spencer (01:06:16.915)
That being seen.
Spencer (01:06:25.107)
It kinda held him back though.
Luciano (01:06:27.542)
How'd him back when Jason Statham kicked the shit out of it?
Spencer (01:06:28.211)
Kinda got him killed.
Spencer (01:06:33.523)
Yeah, but like it made me wonder like how come he knows about beekeepers? How come he's in what like instance was he fighting other beekeepers with like who's hiring against other?
Luciano (01:06:44.086)
Right. Well, it seems like Wally West brought him in personally, right? So maybe he maybe he was like CIA or whatever.
matthew w (01:06:50.478)
Hmm.
Spencer (01:06:50.579)
Yeah.
Matt (01:06:54.327)
Excuse me, where's the fun? This is a very serious conversation.
Spencer (01:06:59.539)
No, no, no, let me finish. So he left his job to play for the Charlotte Hornets and he took the... Oh boy.
matthew w (01:07:00.014)
You
Matt (01:07:02.423)
Okay!
Matt (01:07:10.039)
BWAAAAHAHAHAH
matthew w (01:07:10.382)
Uh oh.
Luciano (01:07:12.598)
I hope it didn't stop. We can, yeah, but we have to wait until Matt comes back. Yeah, mine was going like, oh, trying to reconnect. I was like, what? I'm still seeing it. So it was Matt then. OK, we can wait. Bruh! That was like the.
Matt (01:07:14.935)
Eh.
matthew w (01:07:16.43)
Did we lose Matt?
Spencer (01:07:18.931)
MIMOS
Me too, me too. Okay.
matthew w (01:07:22.926)
Same here, yeah.
Matt (01:07:24.535)
Just keep going, I can hear everybody.
matthew w (01:07:25.806)
Mm -hmm. Mm -hmm. Maybe he was working like blood diamonds or something.
Spencer (01:07:28.627)
Brrrr.
matthew w (01:07:36.59)
Should we bring in some like, just really make it harsh? This guy's just dark.
Spencer (01:07:36.915)
Wow.
Spencer (01:07:42.803)
No, he worked for Tesla.
matthew w (01:07:45.454)
Tesla.
Luciano (01:07:45.718)
Oh, oh no.
Spencer (01:07:47.539)
SpaceX.
matthew w (01:07:49.966)
Yeah, I can see it.
Luciano (01:07:50.134)
There he is!
What happened?
Spencer (01:07:55.027)
Where'd you go, Brew?
Matt (01:07:55.828)
I don't know, my new nut drop came right back and then you guys couldn't hear or see me, so here I am. Right? I have a new audio counter which is gonna be real fucking fun for later. Alright, I heard Spencer you go into the Hornets thing, so we can like... If you just wanna re -say that again, I'll stitch them over top of each other.
Luciano (01:07:59.766)
All right, so.
matthew w (01:08:00.59)
Oh my goodness. The beekeeper's coming for you.
Spencer (01:08:01.523)
greatest moment of my life.
Spencer (01:08:14.003)
Yeah, yeah, you said make it fun.
Spencer (01:08:19.251)
Okay.
Spencer (01:08:22.995)
Okay, sorry, I'll make it fun. Brew, after I was fired from my CIA job, I went to play for the Charlotte Hornets. And I played in the NBA Brew. That accent, it was a little shaky there in the middle. A little in the middle, it's got a little shaky. Some might say.
Luciano (01:08:29.622)
Oh no. Oh no.
Matt (01:08:34.004)
Ha ha ha!
Oh my god! So good, he nailed it. Best joke of the night.
matthew w (01:08:42.382)
I'm sorry.
Luciano (01:08:44.79)
Yeah, it got away from you, didn't it?
Matt (01:08:51.444)
You sound like Mel Gibson in Lethal Weapon, was it Lethal Weapon 2 or 3? The South Africans? 2, 2 right? Yeah.
Spencer (01:08:56.915)
It just got revoked.
Luciano (01:08:58.806)
Yeah, two? Two, I think. Yeah.
Spencer (01:09:01.491)
I think that's two, right? Diplomatic immunity. It's just been revoked.
Matt (01:09:02.868)
Yep. Yeah. All right. Fair enough. No. I mean, no. No, no, no, no. Other question for this movie.
Luciano (01:09:05.622)
Yeah, yeah. Man, that's a good movie.
Spencer (01:09:10.579)
We should be talking about that movie. No, sorry. No.
Luciano (01:09:12.054)
Hahaha!
Matt (01:09:20.468)
kinda talked about it a bit but who law enforcement? What's law enforcement? Where law enforcement? When law enforcement? Why law enforcement? And how law enforcement?
Luciano (01:09:31.606)
Why and how specially.
matthew w (01:09:34.286)
Yeah, I think that kid, that drove it home for me, that scene with the FBI agent sitting out front, right after they just burned out the first building and he's like, we've got all these guys here and we found out that they're all one for get this, cyber crimes. She's like, oh my gosh, get all their IDs. Like literally the most basic thing you could do, go up and be like, hey, can I ask your name? And he's like, that might be a little bit of a hard issue.
Luciano (01:09:36.278)
I mean, what? What?
Luciano (01:09:54.902)
Yeah.
Spencer (01:10:01.843)
What about their civil rights?
Luciano (01:10:04.694)
They say he says it even at one point he says it even if you stop trampling this man civil rights. Yeah, yeah
matthew w (01:10:04.782)
Yes! Can you hear us?
Yeah, don't stomp on this man's civil rights. He's like, ehhhh. Right? Like, how dare you.
Spencer (01:10:13.555)
I just asked for his name.
Luciano (01:10:15.414)
But wait a minute, Matt, so Matt, are you implying that walking into a situation with someone who has a fucking machine gun and then a mini gun head on in front of the bullets is bad police work? Is that what you're implying?
Matt (01:10:31.22)
Um... negligent police work?
matthew w (01:10:33.102)
Yeah, what it... It's kind of like literally...
Spencer (01:10:33.171)
Now that... Those guys were... Those guys were pretty dumb.
Matt (01:10:37.428)
I mean it was just on the back of a pickup truck, it wasn't like it was mounted to a military grade vehicle or anything. Yeah, that would be crazy, this is fun.
Luciano (01:10:42.838)
Nope. Yeah.
Spencer (01:10:43.347)
or a helicopter. I just picture the cops driving up and like, I could take her. You know?
matthew w (01:10:48.398)
I feel like the one guy that turns to him, he's like, I can take her. And the other guy's like, hey, these are bulletproof, right? And then that's it. That's his last line.
Luciano (01:10:48.406)
Yeah, but she has a minigun. That's fine.
Spencer (01:10:52.243)
Yeah, yeah.
Spencer (01:10:57.331)
Yeah, yeah.
Luciano (01:10:57.398)
Yeah, yeah, that was the conversation. That was the Half -Life Blue Light version of this movie.
Matt (01:10:58.612)
Ha ha ha.
matthew w (01:11:03.918)
Right?
Spencer (01:11:04.467)
Yeah, and he was like, are you talking about our skin or the car? Yes.
matthew w (01:11:07.982)
You
Matt (01:11:08.084)
I think that they would have saw her and they would have looked up like, is that a man or a woman? It's like, oh, it's a chick. Ah, nah, they got this.
Luciano (01:11:08.182)
Yes!
Spencer (01:11:17.171)
Nah, she can't kill us. I'm not gonna get killed by a woman! Then he's like, they... Then he got out of the car, he's like, yo bitch, what's up? It just gets mowed down. Yeah, yeah. Shouldn't you be in the kitchen?
matthew w (01:11:17.55)
We got this.
Luciano (01:11:17.59)
Oh, there you go. Yeah. Yeah, she doesn't have any pans on her. What's she's going to do? Yeah.
matthew w (01:11:22.318)
I'm gonna move to the other side.
Matt (01:11:22.356)
Ain't no one gon' kill me.
matthew w (01:11:26.862)
Yeah.
Luciano (01:11:29.334)
Like get out of the car swaggering already. Listen, honey, get some mow down immediately.
Matt (01:11:29.556)
Hahaha!
matthew w (01:11:34.958)
Or like...
matthew w (01:11:38.51)
Or like how literally all of them just crowd into one elevator to just shoot at the roof repeatedly. Like, no idea if they're actually gonna hit them, just all of them.
Luciano (01:11:44.406)
Oh yeah!
Spencer (01:11:46.419)
Listen, those are all great examples, but I raise you them doing a most wanted search for this man and him walking into their huddle, planning to go into the building and literally being like, I'd actually go through the front if I could. And then...
matthew w (01:11:56.11)
Yes.
Luciano (01:11:56.662)
Yeah, hey guys, hey guys. If I could, yeah, trust me, I would have gone if I could. So sorry, guys.
Matt (01:11:57.94)
Oh, I'm...
matthew w (01:12:02.798)
Three. Three.
Playing off that scene too, can we have a moment for just how genuinely poor their armor is if like elbows and hands can just crack helmets? Like what is Jason Statham's?
Spencer (01:12:16.179)
I just said, they're on a budget, okay? They're at, yeah, he's made of, yeah.
Matt (01:12:19.22)
Peace.
Luciano (01:12:20.63)
Yeah, he's made of bees. He's made of bees. Clearly.
matthew w (01:12:23.95)
Just full on elbowing their helmets and the guy's like, oh, he's just dropping dead.
Luciano (01:12:29.174)
No, he's he there were like there were like 10 people there 10 technically armed and trained FBI agents ready to storm a place and he walks to them and goes you guys suck and he just kind of fucking yeah.
Spencer (01:12:29.267)
Listen, the Beekeeper Cup project is expensive, okay? It's taking all the funds.
matthew w (01:12:34.35)
Yeah.
Spencer (01:12:41.715)
Michael.
matthew w (01:12:44.302)
And then, yeah, just kills him.
Spencer (01:12:46.995)
My question is why did he do that? I feel like that was just him showing off.
Luciano (01:12:51.67)
to show off.
