What a great episode. Really interesting points brought up in the discussion.
And, as always, funny as hell. The cold reading was particularly great. I’ve never seen ‘Joe Versus the Volcano’, but I’m very tempted to now.
VIN DIESEL IS BLACK???
Has that been decided yet?
We need a racial draft, like on Chapelle’s Show.
Came here thanks to Tara’s link at Extra Hot Great. Really enjoyed it, especially the Joe Vs. Volcano cold reading, mainly because Todd sounds remarkably like Tom Hanks. Couple of notes: the bad customer who lays out his tip and removes one bill at a time in front of the waitress is John Lithgow in 3rd Rock From The Sun, not Cheers. Also: regarding the line reading from Aliens, an ex-Marine once explained to me that “Look into my eye” is only half of the phrase, the 2nd half being, “And tell me if you see someone who gives a fuck.”
Also I agree Crash is all top 5 spots in worst race relations movies. And Spike Lee was Mars Blackmon in the Nike ads, not Mookie.
Thanks for listening, we’re glad you enjoyed the show.
The unspoken second half of the Aliens line makes a whole lot of sense, considering what a pain in the ass Hudson is to Apone, and the actor Al Matthews brings that irritation out through his performance. I really do love everything about the Apone character.
I don’t doubt that the bit was done on that alien program, but I guarantee it happened on Cheers first. Carla dumped the guy’s drink on his head. What did Lithgow do?
My bad, I didn’t know it was both! I love Cheers, I’m surprised I don’t recall that. In 3rd Rock, Lithgow put a pile of singles on the table and informed the waitress that this was her maximum possible tip, and that he would remove a dollar every time she made a mistake.

Great episode. I’m just loving these. The hotel game needed to be easier but was kind of fun anyway.
I always thought Apone was giving Hudson the finger when he says “Look into my eye.” He’s holding his cigar and using his middle finger to pull his eye down.
I loved the cold reading. I’ve got to go watch that movie again.
