=== Everything Is Food (06:35) ===

[00:00:02]  Can you search Popeye, everything is food?
[00:00:05]  I mean, can I?
[00:00:09]  I relate to that one.
[00:00:10]  I'd only ever seen this one song from the live action Robert Altman Popeye, which is like a notorious disaster.
[00:00:20]  They went to Malta and built a whole village and then it rained for like a year straight and they couldn't film for months at a time.
[00:00:28]  But Just they built such a wonderful little world seeing this.
[00:00:38]  Think Mackey showed me this.
[00:00:39]  So like picture Mackey singing this song as it's going easy.
[00:00:47]  But look at this world that that Rob Robert Altman Roger, I can't remember his name, created with with this movie.
[00:00:56]  See if you can spot Popeye.
[00:01:02]  This is right?
[00:01:02]  This is correct?
[00:01:05]  - How is this not great?
[00:01:34]  Is this going to get bad?
[00:01:36]  No, it is great.
[00:01:37]  Okay.
[00:01:38]  See if I get this pop up.
[00:01:46]  Is that what you said?
[00:01:47]  Yeah.
[00:01:48]  I don't know.
[00:01:48]  Is he there yet?
[00:01:50]  Is he on the screen yet?
[00:01:51]  Do you know who plays Popeye?
[00:01:53]  Oh, man.
[00:01:57]  No, I don't remember.
[00:01:57]  It's Robin Williams.
[00:01:58]  It is Robin Williams.
[00:01:59]  Okay, cool.
[00:02:00]  Amazing.
[00:02:00]  Robin Williams with giant prosthetic forearms.
[00:02:06]  I want you to listen to these lyrics and tell me how good you think these lyrics are.
[00:02:11]  You see this?
[00:02:13]  Apparently they recorded all this singing live on set.
[00:02:16]  So that's cool.
[00:02:17]  This is like the Chariot album.
[00:02:18]  This is like the Chariot album.
[00:02:21]  It's all live.
[00:02:23]  I think they like redubbed some stuff, but the person who wrote all the music is Harry Nielsen, who's a folk singer from this era that I got confused with Donovan. who's a folk singer from this era that I got So I don't know any of Harry Nilsson's stuff.
[00:02:45]  I think he had an album called Nilsson Schmilsson that I might have listened to at one point, but I can't tell you.
[00:02:51]  I can't tell you that, but just listen to these lyrics.
[00:02:54]  Go back to the beginning where he says, everything is food.
[00:02:59]  Yeah, it's good.
[00:03:02]  Everything is food, food, food.
[00:03:06]  What does that mean?
[00:03:07]  Everything is food to go.
[00:03:11]  Everything is food for thought. - For thought. - Everything you'll eat is dumb.
[00:03:19]  It is food.
[00:03:21]  Everything is food.
[00:03:27]  I love this.
[00:03:28]  Okay, so everything you need is dough.
[00:03:31]  Yeah, that's great.
[00:03:32]  That's a good pun.
[00:03:33]  That's the one good pun in there.
[00:03:35]  But what do you like?
[00:03:36]  What does everything is food mean?
[00:03:38]  What is what is everything is food to go?
[00:03:42]  What does that mean?
[00:03:43]  I don't know.
[00:03:45]  Yeah.
[00:03:46]  But I like everything is rolling and everything is food for thought.
[00:03:50]  So, yeah, everything is either food you're eating or something to think about.
[00:03:53]  I'm with this.
[00:03:56]  Watching this is like it feels like a slight descent into madness.
[00:03:59]  It feels like I'm watching humanity devolve.
[00:04:04]  It does feel a little weird, like things are kind of unraveling.
[00:04:10]  Everything is meat, meat, meat.
[00:04:15]  Careful what you put on your feet.
[00:04:19]  Once it lived on an enemy.
[00:04:23]  Now it walks along with you.
[00:04:28]  It could be cool.
[00:04:30]  Everything is cool. Pause it.
[00:04:36]  What about those lyrics, Tony?
[00:04:41]  Everything is meat, meat, meat.
[00:04:43]  But as we all know, careful what you put on your feet.
[00:04:48]  Yeah.
[00:04:48]  Because that could be food.
[00:04:51]  Yeah.
[00:04:52]  Thank you.
[00:04:52]  Thank you, Wendy.
[00:04:54]  We're back to veganism.
[00:04:55]  Thank you.
[00:04:57]  Yeah, think about it.
[00:04:59]  Your shoes are not just shoes.
[00:05:02]  They're not just leather.
[00:05:03]  They can't just take the leather without producing meat.
[00:05:06]  Everything is meat.
[00:05:07]  Be careful what you put on your feet, because what that was once lived on an animal.
[00:05:13]  And what about the energy that animal carried?
[00:05:15]  And now it's on your feet.
[00:05:17]  And, you know, your feet are basically access to your entire body, which is why I use those detox pads once a week.
[00:05:24]  It sounds like I can use that animal's energy to propel me forward with these shoes.
[00:05:29]  Like, you're not dissuading me at all.
[00:05:32]  I like that everything is me.
[00:05:35]  That's not what shoes do.
[00:05:36]  Shoes don't propel you forward.
[00:05:38]  Shoes protect your feet.
[00:05:39]  They protect your feet.
[00:05:41]  You propel yourself forward.
[00:05:42]  They just protect your feet.
[00:05:43]  All right.
[00:05:43]  Oh, you don't think they have shock absorbers and cushioned soles and spring actions?
[00:05:50]  And like, why would you why?
[00:05:51]  Why don't you just go run in sandals, dude?
[00:05:55]  True, true.
[00:05:56]  I didn't think about that part.
[00:06:01]  No, but I like how it's like, everything is meat, careful what you put on your feet, because it could be food.
[00:06:07]  It's not like, don't wear that because it's an animal.
[00:06:11]  It's don't wear that because you should be eating it instead.
[00:06:13]  Why are you wearing it?
[00:06:14]  You could boil that.
[00:06:15]  You could boil that and make a delicious little snack.
[00:06:17]  It's so fucking, the lyrics are just genuinely like, So Robert Altman knew Harry Nilsson.

=== Beat Drop Beat (03:08) ===

[00:06:24]  I was watching extra footage because I bought Popeye so I could watch it and own it.
[00:06:29]  I figured I'd want to see it more than once.
[00:06:32]  We watched like the making of stuff and Robert Altman was like, Oh yeah, I knew Harry Nilsson.
[00:06:36]  So I asked him to do this, the songs and he's like, okay.
[00:06:39]  And it literally sounds like he wrote all these songs in one night.
[00:06:43]  Yeah, that's awesome.
[00:06:45]  So we're going to have a scene where they're going to be eating food.
[00:06:47]  You say food.
[00:06:48]  You said food?
[00:06:49]  Okay, cool.
[00:06:50]  Got you.
[00:06:50]  Yeah.
[00:06:52]  Beat.
[00:06:52]  Drop beat.
[00:06:56]  I would gladly pay you Tuesday for a hamburger today.
[00:07:00]  That's Wimpy.
[00:07:01]  Is this like where we're meeting all the characters seen?
[00:07:05]  No, that's just like littered throughout.
[00:07:07]  I don't think that's necessary.
[00:07:09]  Wimpy is just associated with food, so I think they stuck him in here.
[00:07:14]  That's Wimpy.
[00:07:15]  When this part of the movie happened, I pointed at the screen and turned to my girlfriend.
[00:07:19]  I said, that's Wimpy.
[00:07:20]  That's Wimpy.
[00:07:21]  He's the guy who likes the hamburgers.
[00:07:23]  Because we did see, we have seen like three major characters in the span of seconds.
[00:07:29]  And they're not like interacting with each other yet.
[00:07:31]  So that's why I said that.
[00:07:33]  It's still the beginning of the movie, yeah.
[00:07:39]  This is like some bad, uh, Christmas carol musical.
[00:07:50]  Sorry, some bad what?
[00:07:52]  Like an off brand Christmas carol musical?
[00:07:56]  Like, the line we just heard was, I will gladly pay you Tuesday for a hamburger today.
[00:08:02]  And then everybody else said, he will gladly pay you Tuesday.
[00:08:05]  It's like bad musical writing.
[00:08:07]  It's just like, oh, it's a call and response where it's the same thing.
[00:08:11]  They just respond with the same thing.
[00:08:13]  Yeah.
[00:08:14]  I love it.
[00:08:14]  So, so lazy.
[00:08:36]  I feel like this song, like the pace of this song and the lyrical content genuinely feels like a sinkhole sucking me into the earth.
[00:08:47]  It feels like I'm trying to break free of this song and it's like shackled to both of my ankles.
[00:08:54]  It's like not changing.
[00:08:56]  Nothing's happening.
[00:08:57]  It's the same bad rhymes.
[00:09:00]  Pizza Lawyer says, yeah, they had to redub Williams because none of the test audiences could understand him.
[00:09:05]  Robin Williams was hired for this.
[00:09:08]  I mean, I don't know if he was their first pick, but definitely like one of the reasons he was hired is because of his ad libbing ability.
[00:09:14]  You know, like how he just ran around the fucking recording booth when he was doing the genie from Aladdin.

=== Overdubbed Mutters Like Pizza (00:44) ===

[00:09:23]  Imagine that level of Robin Williams energy, but everything is below his breath because he's muttering like Popeye.
[00:09:30]  Yep.
[00:09:31]  That's really funny.
[00:09:32]  That's really funny.
[00:09:33]  And like half of what Popeye says is made up words like rizzle frazzle raggle.
[00:09:39]  So it's it's extremely bizarre.
[00:09:42]  And then it's all overdubbed like pizza.
[00:09:46]  It's all overdubbed.
[00:09:47]  So he's like walking along and you're hearing this like loud muttering It's very funny.
[00:09:52]  Awesome.
