Alright, Scum & Vinny! Please welcome Kevin Smith and Mark Van Norton, Fat Man Beyond!

Hey! Hey! Welcome to Fat Man Beyond! I'm Kevin Smith and Mark Van Norton!

Hey! Look who dropped into the gig, man! How are you?

I'm awesome! Good, whatever. I mean, I'm great. It's all the show we got for a kid. We didn't really prepare, man. Thanks for being here. We are at the world famous Scum & Villainy Cantina in Hollywood, on Hollywood Boulevard. Put your fucking mitts together so the folks at home know you're real!

Oh, they're real alright. Kids, I don't know what it's like in the rest of the world, but in California, particularly in this neck of the woods, it is fucking hot. It must be hot all weekend long.

Yeah, like really bad. Today it was up to like 90 in the valley or something like that. And I know that because today I closed on my new home in Studio City, man!

It's like we're neighbors! We're gonna be fucking close! That'd be great. After I've been in that house 21 years up in the Hollywood Hills, we bought a new house in Studio City.

And today we got the keys and me and my wife for the fourth time in our lives together moved into a new house. We're moving everything on like Thursday and Friday, but we got the keys today.

And we took the dogs to the house and fucking walked around the house. And my wife was like, should we do this? I was like, it's fucking done! There's no... The should conversation should have happened a while ago.

Yeah, man, it's strange. Strange and wonderful and new adventure. Years and years ago, when we were making Jane Salombov strike back, we lived in Talucol Lake, we rented a house there, because I was still living in New Jersey.

And back then I was so like, anti-California. I was never living fucking Los Angeles, all the people are fucking fake and shit like that.

And so I was like, Jersey forever, fucking Hollywood never. And after 11 months of living anywhere, you live in fucking Calcutta for 11 months becomes fucking home and shit.

So after 11 months of living in Talucol Lake, I was like, you know what, man, I could fucking do this. I can get my head around living here.

I remember I was walking hardly in a stroller. She was still like really, really young. And there was a house, a small house that was for sale and I had like those pamphlets sitting in a box in front of the house.

And so I grabbed one and I was looking at it, I was like, you know, I fucking, maybe I could live out here, man. Everyone's, they may be fake nice, but at least it's nice. Like, fucking, I'll take that shit.

And I went back to Jennifer and I was like, you know, like, I think I could get my head around living here finally. I was like, there's this house for sale like around the block until Lucol Lake.

And my wife was like, the valley, oh God, no, only old people live in the valley. Well, I'm old now, man. And so is she because now we fucking live in the valley.

Congratulations.

Thank you very much. Yeah, it's the thing I discovered today is y'all keep it hot over there. Fuck, man. It's way hotter in the valley than it is over here.

Yeah, but it's still temperate. It hasn't hit 115 yet in the valley.

You're saying it's gonna get worse? Uh-huh. Fuck. Sorry. I picked the wrong town to move. Yeah, and stop smoking weed. Yeah, that's true, man. What is today? Monday or Tuesday?

Monday.
