When was the last time I took a road trip? How many national parks could I hit in two weeks? What about hotels? Wait!

How much am I spending on travel?

Hey, everybody. Just wanted to give you a quick heads up here. There's something we should all be doing. It's going to improve your life, make every day a little bit better, and that is eat more Reese's Peanut Butter Cups. Yes, think about it. All the gurus, all the coaches out there, they've never said the words,

eat more Reese's. I mean, that combination of sweet chocolate and salty peanut butter. I mean, this is something that brings other people and ourselves joy. That's why there's two in a pack. Shop Reese's peanut butter cups now at a store near you, found wherever candy is sold and often in my pantry because I love these.

Hey, everybody. Sweater weather is over and sweaty weather has begun. And that's why you need a pair of Bombas socks because they are a premium extra long staple cotton sock that feels light on your feet all summer long. I love my Bombas. Why? Because they support my arch. So get ready to get comfy and give back. Head over to Bombas.com slash bonkers. Use the code bonkers for 20% off your first purchase. That's B-O-M-B-O-N-K-E-R-S.

Don't be a sucker. Learn about meat bees and a real life beekeeper. All happening today on How Did This Get Made? Last Looks. Hit the theme. One, two.

B.O. Swords!

What's up, all you members of the How Did This Get Made beehive? I am your ceiling leak repair guy, Paul Scheer, and welcome to How Did This Get Made Last Looks, where you, the listener, get to voice your issues on The Beekeeper. And later in the show, I am going to recommend to you things that I'm currently loving and want to recommend in a classic Paul's Pick segment. I'm also going to share an exclusive deleted scene from our Beekeeper live show. And as always...

We are going to reveal next week's film. Now, before we get any further in the show, I must give a big shout out, a huge thank you to Matthew Fountain for that amazing opening theme. You are outdoing yourselves with this opening theme work. I mean, truly, every week we are loving it. And if you have a last word,

looks, theme that you want to send in, send it to howdidthisgetmadeatyourwolf.com, but keep them short. 15 seconds is perfect. 20 seconds is just a bit too long.

I know that sounds crazy, but trust me, it is true. Jason and I just got back from Chicago. We did sold out shows at the Den Theater, and we are going to continue our dinosaur improv live show tour in Seattle and Portland on May 31st and June 1st. Now, here is the bummer.

Only standing room only seats are left in Seattle and Portland is sold out. So why am I advertising it? I don't know, but I wanted to let you know that we will continue this tour. We're going to go to New York. We might go to some other fun places as well because the response has been frankly amazing. Secondly, I'm going on my book tour. That's right. My book is coming out on May 21st and I'm going to be in Brooklyn with the editor of the New Yorker. That's right. Oh,

A Pulitzer Prize winner is coming to Brooklyn to talk to me about Joyful Recollections of Trauma. That is going to be on May 21st. Tickets are only 10 bucks. Plus, I'm going to be in San Francisco on June 2nd with the Mythbuster himself, Adam Savage. That show is free. New York is already sold out. Chicago with Adam Pally is close to selling out. And L.A.

LA, sorry, it's gone. Joel Kim Booster and June Diane Raphael are joining me there. There are a ton of shows, but here is the best part. If you live in Australia, if you live in the UK, wherever you live, I am doing a virtual live signing, which means you can get a signed book from me. Ask me a question. It's a virtual live signing. You'll get it. It ships anywhere in the world. And Jason Manzoukas and Rob Hubel are going to join me in

in that for a little bit of fun. And here's the best part. It's not super expensive. The book retails for like 29 bucks. And to do that, 35, 35 bucks and you get an autographed book. Not bad. Anyway, check out my website for more information. I'd love to see out there on the road and I'll sign any book. If you pre-ordered it, bring it to the events. It will be fun. Now let's get into it. Oh, by the way,

Any of you like Nantucket? Well, we'll be there on June 20th. That's right. How did this get made? We'll be at the Nantucket Film Festival on June 20th. And the movie we got picked out is a doozy. All right, let's get into it. Last week, we talked at length about The Beekeeper, a movie that Discord user Johnny Unusual thinks should have had the tagline, The Beekeeper. Strangely, fewer bees than the Wicker Man. You know what? That is strange. There aren't that many bees. There's talk of

bees. He is a beekeeper. We don't see bees attack. I would have liked one bee attack. I mean, unless Jason Statham is the bee, then we see a lot of attacks. Anyway, we had questions about the beekeeper and we might have even missed a few things. Here's your chance to set us straight. Fact check us if you will. It is now time for corrections and omissions. Greetings. This is Jason Statham. I think it's time for a slow jam.

Oh, that's it. I just wanted to take a moment to apologize to all the hardworking citizens manning our call centers in North America and abroad. Next time you get a call during dinner or a vigorous lovemaking session, don't be angry. Just hang up. You don't need to go down there and burn the place to the ground. They're just trying to make a living selling you goods you didn't know you needed. And now, back to Corrections and Omissions, Paul Sartorius.

Thank you, Randy Smith. Wow. Johnny Unusual, back again, says Paul stated bees don't kill with fire, and that's true. But the Asian honeybee can kill with heat. When a hornet enters their hive looking for food, the Asian honeybees surround the hornet, generating so much heat that the hornet is cooked to death. Oh.

Oh, Johnny Unusual with his Asian honeybee knowledge. And he actually posted a clip of it on YouTube. All right. So Johnny Unusual, I stand corrected. I mean, although I don't think that Jason Statham was being an Asian honeybee in that moment, but maybe he was. Maybe he represents all bees. John NotConnor, I love John NotConnor, says, you guys neglected to mention how the phishing scam started. They don't call Phyllis Rashad. They send a pop-up to a computer telling her to call

Call them at 1-800-SUCKER because her data is compromised. This plays into the poetic justice of Statham's first act of vengeance. The bomb that levels the first call center is rigged to that telephone line. See, we see the phishing pop up appear on the screen of an elderly immigrant looking couple and their call to the 800 number triggers the explosion. The number you dialed has vanished.

Bean disconnected. Oh, I like it, John. And speaking of the phishing scam, lovely Lizette writes in to say, I don't know the friendly friends.net website that the scammer gives to Felicia Rashad seems pretty legit to me. Now, here's the thing. When you click on this, it's pretty great. Just click on the friendly friends.net link.

Someone worked very quickly. It's not weird. It's not dirty. It's not even NSFW. It is just fully safe for work. Anyway, FunFacts47 writes that, one of my favorite pieces of music from John Wick is its modern take on Vivaldi from the John Wick Chapter 3 film. Since The Beekeeper has so many similarities to John Wick, I thought it was a real missed opportunity that they didn't do an action sequence set to a modern rendition of Flight of the Bumblebee.

Oh, wow. Fun facts 47. Imagine Trent Reznor doing that. Oh, aces that would be. Anyway, Dr. Guts 1003 writes, United Data Group has a call center in Boston that is part of a large office building that likely holds other tenants and has a bright pink neon sign in their lobby that says United Data Group. How has the FBI been investigating for two years and have no clue where they are located? Hmm. Dr. Guts, you're

You ask a pretty fucking good question. Maybe they don't know where the queen bee is. And if they just go in there, they're not, well, I guess they would be finding criminal activity. I don't know, Dr. Guts. Good observation. CYU writes, when I first saw the beekeeper trailer, I immediately remembered this news story from 2022 that also took place in Massachusetts, which apparently is...

You guessed it, the B capital of America. So basically the story begins with the police trying to serve an eviction. And when they're met by protesters from a local organization supporting black homeowners, one of the protesters who knew the pain of getting evicted herself took matters into her own hands and well,

Take a listen. A woman is accused of trying to attack deputies with a swarm of bees. Officers in Massachusetts say the woman tried to release the bees during an eviction. She had on a beekeeper suit and brought boxes of the insects to the home. Officers say at one point she was agitating the bees. She is charged with assault with a deadly weapon. When she was handcuffed and told several officers were allergic to bees, she even gave a Statham-like quote.

Oh, you're allergic? That's right. Oh, well, she was charged with assault and battery by means of a dangerous weapon, a.k.a. the bees protecting the beehive. All right, we're going to take a quick break. And when we come back, we will hit the phone lines for more corrections and omissions. And of course, we will announce our next movie. Rob from Long Island, please play us out to commercial. Beep, beep.

I believe he's gonna protect the high. We'll do another episode last year of Super. If this was second opinions, I'd give high stars.

Welcome back to Last Looks. We still have some very important corrections and omissions to go through from the beekeepers. So let's go to the phones. First up, Meg from Arlington, Virginia. Hi, Paul. First time, long time. The one scene you were talking about where there was somebody working on the ceiling at the

the FBI's Hoover Building. I wanted to call in and let you know it's well known inside the Beltway that the Hoover Building is falling apart. If you Google J. Edgar Hoover Building falling apart, there's a bunch of articles about how there are nets outside of the building to catch chunks of the building falling off, that inside the building things are falling. There was an article from

December of 2023 talking about how, uh, water systems fail regularly and plumbing is a problem. So, um, June's point about, uh, the FBI, uh, being underfunded. Um, I'm not sure it's quite that there's a lot of politics involved in it, but, uh, it is true that the Hoover building is falling apart. Thanks. Okay. This is interesting. So, uh,

This is a quote from the article that Meg references. My God, I can't believe that you guys went into this amount of detail. I love it. That's why I love this show. Anyway, the article quotes it as saying, the FBI's J. Edgar Hoover building is showing its age as it sports nets around its perimeter to keep chunks of concrete from falling off and hitting pedestrians. But parts of the building are also dropping onto employee workspaces and equipment. Nick Deimos, an assistant director of the FBI's finance and faculties division, said the agency has spent decades

$75 million since 2011 to avoid a catastrophic breakdown of its water systems. Pipe bursts and plumbing challenges are commonplace, leading to the damage of the FBI space IT and records office.

Wow. So this movie was researched. Holy shit. Shauna from Santa Clara, what do you got? Hi, Paul. I loved the beekeeper episode and wanted to share in a mission. My favorite part was the huge guy who Jason said looked like an X-Man.

I didn't hear it mentioned on the podcast, but that guy was wearing a yellow jacket. Yellow jackets are sometimes called meat bees because they're the same size and color as honeybees. But yellow jackets are actually wasps. So the meathead character, who was one of the bigger threats to the beekeeper, was dressed to symbolize a meat bee. I thought that was a great detail. Thank you so much, and good luck with the book launch this month. Bye. What?!

Are you telling me this movie makes more sense than we thought? I didn't even know that yellow jackets are meat bees. I like a meat head. This is great. All right, let's go to the phones for Adam Fletcher.

from Seattle. Hey, Paul. I've got a correction or omission on the beekeeper. After Felicia Rashad gets her bank accounts emptied out, her cell phone lights up with fraud alerts from the various banks. But if they're aware that fraud happened, you'd think they'd take steps to do something and correct it and give her her money back. That's why these fraud departments exist. Apparently, there was no need for her to commit suicide.

Just thought I'd mention it. Thanks. Bye. You know what? I'm just going to say, we might have a deleted scene here that, you know, talks about the fraud alerts in the film. So stay tuned, Adam. Stay tuned. You know, this week truly was eye-opening for me. Corrections and omissions. Often we're getting, you know, distances or obscure facts, but you proved to me that this movie is smarter than we originally thought. But I have to tell you,

While I love the website, while I love the story of the woman attacking the police with bees, I have to say that John, not Connor explaining a part of the movie that we all completely missed really does take the cake. Cause I feel like, you know what the rest you all research and I'm impressed by, but that I thought was a really smart observation. Why?

I don't know. I think I like it. Because now I'm like, maybe it should be the woman who stung everybody with bees. I don't know. It's not actually the woman who stung everybody with bees. It's just the person who brought that to our attention. Anyway, John, not Connor. You're the winner. It's contested, but who cares? So many great corrections and omissions. So now you get this theme from Chris Finke. You, you win. You win nothing. You win.

You win. You win the thing. Except for this song, I'll ask looks. Thank you, Chris. Thank you for that winner theme and apologies that we forgot to credit you when we last played it. That was me. I forgot. I'm sorry, Chris. But you know what?

Better to be like, ooh, who is that? And it's a mystery. Now we solve the mystery. That's what people like. People like mystery, a.k.a. the jinx. All right. Remember, if you want to submit a alt movie tagline or chime in with your own thoughts about the latest episode,

Hit up the Discord at discord.gg slash hdtgm or call us at 619-P-A-U-L-A-S-K. That's right, 619-Paul-Ask. Coming up after one final break, I will recommend the things I'm currently enjoying and then I will announce next week's movie. But first, listen to this bonus deleted scene from our Beekeeper show where June gives her take on those fraud alert notifications. See, I told you it was coming up that Adam from Seattle called us about. One other thing. One other thing.

She gets multiple fraud alert messages on her phone after this all goes down and the $2 million is wiped out from the charity. When those fraud alerts come up, they've usually actually stopped the transaction. So I don't understand. The bank was a second behind. Shit! You think if she refreshed, that money would have come back in? Right on back. If she had just turned her computer on.

Because if she has fraud alerts on, which I'm sure she does, especially in the $2 million account, they would have stopped the transaction. They would not have let that money go through. I agree with you. But look, this movie...

Well, I don't know. This is a very sophisticated system. This is the same money that got the president elected, President Mom. Holy sh- This is a CIA bit of tech that has been repurposed to pilfer millions from the elderly. The scam is getting it from the elderly. But Jason, what is the tech exactly? I'm so glad you asked. The tech-

The tech to me, as far as my little eyes can see, is simply like when you're sharing your Zoom with another person, you can also give control of your computer screen to another person. That seems to be the tech

that this is all based on. Well, the tech also seems to be, I think what the tech is doing is finding, because they say it at one point, finding people who don't have close relations, who have money in the bank, who are susceptible to this kind of a scam. Jen Shah from The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City was able to do that. There are those, that data has been out there for years. Okay, so these guys are like her.

Full stop. These guys are like Tensha, except they're getting the president elected. Then my question is simply this. If their technology is so sophisticated, why is the beekeeper's technology like from 1975? I loved it. Well, just like...

Montezuma's Revenge. Just like John Wick, the beekeeper office has to be pretty weird. They are in jumpsuits and they're using a Commodore 64 computer to enter codes in. First you must play this game of Pitfall. Then you... Inky and Blinky are coming after you. You've got ghosts on your tail, beekeeper. It's a Pac-Man reference.

This back to school season, spend less on your kids with Amazon. Now, here's the thing. I love back to school season, but I'm going to be honest, it's expensive. Every year I'm getting a new backpack. I'm getting new scissors. I'm buying so much stuff and back to school season. I need a little bit of help.

But back-to-school shopping doesn't have to break the bank. And here's the thing. With Amazon, you get great deals and everyday low prices on everything that your kid needs for a successful return to the classroom. Now, I was one of those kids whose parents would go back-to-school shopping too late. And then I couldn't get the cool folder with ALF on it. But don't worry about that because Amazon's got a whole wide selection of back-to-school items. Get it now. I just bought...

my kids' stuff on Amazon in July. And then when September comes rolling around, I am the hero. You'll find quality products at Amazon that your kids will love all while sticking to your budget.

The new Tacoma was born to make your off-roading dreams come true.

Check out more national sales event deals when you visit buyatoyota.com. Toyota, let's go places. Pulling up to Mickey D's just for drinks. Oh yeah, that's me. Nothing extra, just perfection and a straw. Coming in hot for the coldest cups on the block.

Because there are drinks. Then there are drinks from McDonald's. Mix things up with any size lemonade or sweet tea for $1.49. Perfect with our classic fries. Price and participation may vary. Cannot be combined with any other offer. Ba-da-ba-ba-ba.

People, I know that you've noticed that every Monday we do something called Matinee Monday, where we pull an old episode out of the vault. This week's Matinee Monday was Stephen King's Sleepwalkers, and next week's will be Arnold Schwarzenegger's The Sixth Day. So keep on checking out those replay of classic episodes and try to figure out how they tie together with the movie that we just did. We try to do it.

Maybe sometimes it works better than others, but if you could tell us how, then that means you're paying attention. And honestly, I'm asking that because I don't know how the six day ties into any of this. Anyway, we have spent a lot of time hearing from you, but no one has asked me about me. That's right. What am I up to? And I know, well, Paul, you talk about your book all the time. Well, yes, I do because...

I want you to buy it. And when you do buy it, you'll get fun stuff on my website. But I'm not going to talk about that now. It's time for me to talk about other things other than me, just things that I love. And it's now time for Paul's Pick-S of the Week. Go home, Gary. Play me in! Paul, Paul, Paul, Tom, John, Shee, we're teaching...

All right, so let's do it quick. I have been touring around. I have been seeing, hearing, doing a bunch of different stuff. I've been watching a lot of NBA playoff basketball. So I haven't been able to dig in to things that I normally dig into. But I'm going to tell you, Summer House on Bravo. I always go back to Summer House on Bravo. I love Summer House. If you're not watching Summer House, I think it is one of my favorite Bravo shows simply because the premise is kind of perfect. It's just...

New York City people who go to the Hamptons on the weekend and get totally wasted and reveal things that they should never reveal to each other. I love the show. I don't think you need to start at the beginning. I think you can start right now and you'll enjoy it. You'll love it as a matter of fact. I also have been enjoying The Jinx Season 2. I talked about this on my sub stack a little while ago. Yeah, I have a sub stack and it's free. I love Baby Reindeer, but everyone loves Baby Reindeer, so I'm not going to promote that, but I will tell you that Knuckles

which is a show that I have a small part in, is hilariously funny. Knuckles is a new show on Paramount Plus. Adam Pally stars in it with Kid Cudi and Edie Patterson from The Righteous Gemstones. It's legit hilarious. I love it. And my kids love it. It's one of those rare shows that kind of cross the boundaries of parents and kids. And it is a

great. So I highly recommend that. I also want to recommend this movie, and I don't want to say anything more about it than it's unlike anything that you've ever seen in your life, but it's called Hundreds of Beavers. Hundreds of Beavers.

It's about a drunken Applejack salesman who has to become North America's greatest fur trapper. It is slapstick. It is insane. It is truly unlike anything that you will ever see. It has a 95% Rotten Tomatoes rating. I think it might be one of the best movies ever. It's just simple. It's silly. And it is great. You're going to love it.

hundreds of beavers. I don't want to tell you more. I think more will wreck it. Well, you know, podcasts. What am I listening to in podcasts? The Three was a podcast, a murder podcast. I don't do murder podcasts, but I was listening to this murder podcast called The Three, and it is about three girls that one of them is killed. And, you know, by the

by the other two. It's dark, but it's interesting because the killing is so random because one day in, well, I don't want to tell you what happens. Just the three is pretty addictive. And if you're not listening to JJ Redick and LeBron James podcast, I find this podcast amazing. It is just two basketball players talking about

Like really getting into it, the nitty gritty, the X's and the O's. It's called Mind the Game Pod. Mind the Game Pod. And if you have any interest in basketball, it is super...

so much fun. I love these two guys. All right, that is all I got. And now it is time to announce our next movie. We are going from an English beekeeper to a Scottish butler. That's right. Next week's episode, we will be watching the 2009 R-rated rom-com, The Ugly Truth, starring Katherine Heigl and How Did This Get Made? all-star Gerard Butler.

Here's a breakdown of the plot. An uptight television producer takes control of a morning show segment on modern relationships hosted by a misogynistic man. You know what? That's not it at all, but kind

Kind of is. Anyway, Rotten Tomatoes gives this film a 14%, which is rotten on the tomato meter. And Alonzo Duralde from MSNBC writes, by the time they have their big showdown in a hot air balloon, a sequence incidentally featuring some of the fakest green screen work and recent memory, you'll be pleading for an, oh, the humanity ending. That's a Zeppelin reference to this. Oh.

Cinematic Hindenburg. I wrecked it. Oh, I wrecked it. I'm not going to go back and retake it, though. Let's listen to the trailer for The Ugly Truth. On July 24th, the battle of the sexes is on. I like your woman on top. It's Heigl versus Butler. You're telling me you've never slept with the Fun Bag twins. Who am I to kill their dreams? You're such a man whore.

But the hot dog hits slowly. The ugly truth. May the best sex win. Would you stop doing that? I think I kind of like it. Really? Sucker.

Rated R. Special sneak preview this Friday. You can currently stream The Ugly Truth on TBS, TNT, and TruTV, or you can rent it on Apple TV, Amazon, YouTube, and Google Play. Separately, I also encourage you to check out Hoopla and Canopy, which are digital media services offered by your local public library that allow you to consume movies, TV, music, audiobooks, e-books, and comics for free.

Request it from your library. Paul, how do I do it? Put your zip code in. Put library in. Then go to your library website and request my book. Request my book from any of your local stores. I want to support indie bookstores. And that's why I'm also listening to a lot of audiobooks on Libro. Yeah, check it out.
