Mark Riddles: That’s what we in the industry call it.
Mark Riddles: “A freeze.”
Mark Riddles: Of all management of files.
Mark Riddles: We are frozen like the caveman fucking lawyer.
Mark Riddles: Man.
Mark Riddles: We are more froze than Amanda Bynes, that frigid bitch.
Jixby Phillips: Amanda Bynes made me laugh once on the Letterman show.
Mark Riddles: Did she say Freddie Muniz's dick had freckles?
Jixby Phillips: She painted a picture of Letterman (using this photo) and when she gave it to him they were previously talking about David’s then-new son Harry.
Jixby Phillips: And she goes "You and Harry can..." (she realizes that there is not much a baby can do with a painting for fun and that lumping Harry in with David’s enjoyment of the painting was a bad decision) "…stand… by it".
Jixby Phillips: And David Letterman started cackling and wheezing.
Jixby Phillips: Really it was the combination of those two things.
Mark Riddles: Are you sure he wasn't dying?
Jixby Phillips: I am sure he was.
Jixby Phillips: Because he died within the hour.
Mark Riddles: His son harry never got to tell him he was gay.
Jixby Phillips: Haha! Nice slam on Harry!
Mark Riddles: Harry the gay baby Letterman.
Mark Riddles: He should of named the kid “Letterbaby.”
Mark Riddles: Then he can go "Letterbaby, you are a long way from becoming a Letterman."
Jixby Phillips: That’s a great idea for a Saturday morning cartoon show.
Jixby Phillips: “LETTERBABIES.”
Mark Riddles: And then when he actually grows up he has a nice story to tell his wife on their wedding day.
Mark Riddles: "This is why my name is Letterbaby."
Mark Riddles: "And if you don't want to marry me because of it, that's okay too"
Jixby Phillips: Haha!
Mark Riddles: And then you see the bride-to-be walk up to Dave (who is talking to Sarah Silverman, for some god-awful reason she was invited) and the bride goes “WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT TO HIM?”
Mark Riddles: “YOU ARE A TERRIBLE FATHER!”
Mark Riddles: And then she walks out and he tells Sarah Silverman "I should of named him Harry."
Jixby Phillips: Sarah Silverman goes "what, hairy BALLS, nigger-face?"
Mark Riddles: No no no!
Mark Riddles: She just frowns and shakes her head in agreement.
Mark Riddles: She has no speaking roles in this movie.
Mark Riddles: And then the scene dissolves to Dave in an empty banquet hall eating a shrimp cocktail.
Mark Riddles: And he looks disappointed.
Mark Riddles: The DJ is there.
Mark Riddles: And he's playing “Forever Young.”
Mark Riddles: And Dave decides to spell the words Harry in shrimp.
Mark Riddles: And he was all "I had to name him Letterbaby."
Jixby Phillips: Haha!
Mark Riddles: "WHAT AM I, JASON LEE?"
Mark Riddles: And the DJ laughs.
Mark Riddles: And Dave goes "YOU ARENT PAUL, SHUTUP!"
Mark Riddles: And then it comes to David.
Mark Riddles: I FORGOT TO INVITE PAUL!
Jixby Phillips: Haha, this is a great movie!
Mark Riddles: And then the scene cuts to Paul stuck in a tree with an angry dog barking from below.
Mark Riddles: And he's like "DAVE WHERE DID YOU GOOOO?"
Mark Riddles: As if Dave left him there to attend his son Letterbaby's wedding.
Mark Riddles: Left him to DIE.
Jixby Phillips: Hahaha!
Mark Riddles: And then in the sequel LETTERBABY III (the first movie is named “The Legend of Letterbaby: The Sequel”)…
Mark Riddles: Dave is trying to do a show.
Mark Riddles: Hut he notices Paul isn’t back (he is still in the tree).
Mark Riddles: So he messed up his jokes.
Mark Riddles: And he's got this kid who made the biggest ball of yarn.
Mark Riddles: And he keeps calling him "fatkid".
Mark Riddles: And he’s like "I’m sorry, if Paul was here I would call you by your Christian name."
Mark Riddles: "But I’m Amish" the kid protests.
Mark Riddles: And Letterman goes "I guess you won’t be making a ball of electricity anytime soon, ey fatkid?"
Mark Riddles: And he looks to the band all mad.
Mark Riddles: "What? Nothing?"
Jixby Phillips: so the whole movie is fatkid and Dave talking
Jixby Phillips: and the audience isn’t laughing?
Mark Riddles: No, there’s more.
Mark Riddles: So Dave is like:
Mark Riddles: “I HAVE TO GO BACK TO WHERE IT ALL BEGAN!”
Mark Riddles: And then someone in the audience goes:
Mark Riddles: “BUT DAVE, YOU GOT A SHOW TO DO WITH THIS FAT KID!”
Mark Riddles: And the kid frowns.
Mark Riddles: And Dave is like "THE SHOW MUST GO ON!"
Mark Riddles: But he leaves anyway.
Jixby Phillips: Haha!
Mark Riddles: And then the audience member is like “OH FINE ILL DO IT!”
Jixby Phillips: Dave is such a colossal jerk.
Mark Riddles: And he gets up there and he's like "SO DID YOU ALL SEE TED DANSEN DO BLACKFACE?"
Mark Riddles: "GOOD THING HE DIDN’T DO ASIAN FACE, OR WE WOULD BE ALL OUT OF MONEY! HUH? HUH?"
Mark Riddles: That's his idea of a joke.
Mark Riddles: That Asian would go for broke.
Mark Riddles: And start a national deficit.
Mark Riddles: He explains this excruciatingly.
Mark Riddles: …as a voice over.
Mark Riddles: …as Dave drives to find Paul.
Mark Riddles: And where does he start?
Mark Riddles: THE BANQUET HALL!
Mark Riddles: Where he first realized he forgot Paul.
Mark Riddles: And the owner is like, "We have a funeral booked in that area, sir."
Mark Riddles: And Dave is like "Yeah, what do you know?"
Mark Riddles: And he goes in there while the grieving people are eating.
Mark Riddles: And he is like:
Mark Riddles: “I WOULD LIKE TO MAKE A TOAST”
Mark Riddles: “…TO THE DEAD GUY”
Mark Riddles: Even though it was a dead woman...
Mark Riddles: …as shown in the mural behind Dave.
Jixby Phillips: Hahah!
Mark Riddles: And he’s like “EVERYONE LIFT YOUR GLASSES!”
Mark Riddles: And they all do it begrudgingly.
Mark Riddles: So he’s like:
Mark Riddles: “OKAY HERE’S MY TOAST…”
Mark Riddles: “…HAVE ANY OF YOU SEEN PAUL SHAFFER?”
Mark Riddles: “I FORGOT TO INVITE HIM TO MY SON LETTERBABY'S WEDDING.”
Mark Riddles: And then some guy at the banquet goes "THEN WHY WOULD YOU COME HERE? DID YOU TRY THAT TREE, DAVE?"
Mark Riddles: And Dave is like "WAIT DO YOU MEAN THE TREE?"
Mark Riddles: And the guy goes "YEAH, THE TREE, YOU ASSHOLE, I SHOULD MAKE AN EXAMPLE OUT OF YOU!"
Mark Riddles: And then the guy just stars insulting Dave.
Mark Riddles: But Dave is not listening, he’s like "THE TREE! OF COURSE!"
Mark Riddles: And he takes his glass of wine…
Mark Riddles: …and dumps it on the face of the mural of the dead woman.
Mark Riddles: And leaves.
Mark Riddles: Everyone is shocked.
Mark Riddles: So he goes to the tree, only to find a pair of broken sunglasses.
Jixby Phillips: Oh no, can I guess?
Jixby Phillips: PAUL IS NOW ON THE BACK OF THE DOG
Jixby Phillips: AND HE’S ON A WILD RIDE
Jixby Phillips: AROUND THE CITY
Mark Riddles: No, no, NO!
Jixby Phillips: "DAAAAAAAAVE!"
Jixby Phillips: "HELLLLLLP!"
Mark Riddles: This is a tragedy!
Mark Riddles: So Dave sits down by the tree with the glasses and Dave goes:
Mark Riddles: "Well this just sucks. After 20 years I found out I blew it with my son’s name, I lost my band leader, and I let some jerk take over my show. I bet he's doing a good job too."
Mark Riddles: And the scene cuts to the guy sitting in Dave’s desk reading a porno mag.
Mark Riddles: All "I could get USED to THIS!"
Jixby Phillips: Haha!
Jixby Phillips: How does this all end?
Mark Riddles: So Dave is like:
Mark Riddles: “THERE’S ONLY ONE WAY TO MAKE THIS RIGHT!”
Mark Riddles: And he rests his head on the tree…
Mark Riddles: …and falls asleep for 21 years.
Mark Riddles: And then an elderly Paul wakes him up.
Mark Riddles: "DAVE, WAKE UP!"
Mark Riddles: And Letterman has a full beard.
Mark Riddles: And Paul is like "Well Dave, you done it this time, YOU RIP VAN WINKLE’D YOUR WAY OUT OF A PROBLEM!"
Mark Riddles: Dave is all "What happened to you? I thought you turned into these broken pair of glasses!"
Mark Riddles: And Paul is like "Dave, I just went home and jerked off! It was a dog, not a monster!"
Mark Riddles: And Dave is like "what does that mean?"
Mark Riddles: Paul is like "THAT DOESNT MATTER, WHAT MATTERS IS THAT YOU GET THAT PERVERT OUT OF YOUR DESK AND TAKE BACK YOUR SHOW!"
Mark Riddles: And Dave is like "But Paul, it's been 21 years," as if he knows how long he’s been asleep, "…do you think it's too late?"
Mark Riddles: And Paul is like "Was it too late for Letterbaby to commit suicide over his terrible first name?"
Mark Riddles: And David is like "Excuse me?"
Mark Riddles: And Paul is like "Whoops, I forgot you were asleep for 21 years, I’ll tell you over brunch."
Mark Riddles: And Dave walks back to the studio.
Mark Riddles: And the audience is all “LOOK, DAVE'S BACK!”
Mark Riddles: And they applaud.
Mark Riddles: And the lights are blinding them.
Mark Riddles: And Paul just fucking wrestles that guy out of the chair.
Mark Riddles: And he’s all "Okay, okay! I’ll leave, let me go!"
Mark Riddles: And he's bleeding.
Mark Riddles: And Paul won’t stop.
Jixby Phillips: Paul is brutal.
Mark Riddles: And so with his last bit of strength…
Mark Riddles: …the man drops a rose from his hand…
Mark Riddles: And then Dave walks to his desk…
Mark Riddles: …rubs his hand on it…
Mark Riddles: And then sits in his seat.
Mark Riddles: And Dave is like "Well, at least my seat’s still warm!"
Mark Riddles: And the audience laughs and gives him a standing ovation.
Mark Riddles: And Dave is all "I DID IT EVERYBODY!"
Mark Riddles: "I DID IT."
Jixby Phillips: Is fatkid still there, unaged?
Mark Riddles: And the screen flashes “Letterbaby III”
Mark Riddles: And the screen freezes and turns black and white.
Mark Riddles: And “Forever Young” starts playing.
Mark Riddles: And then there is a message at the end of the credits…
Mark Riddles: “IN MEMORY OF MEREDITH SIMMS, SORRY FOR DAVE CRASHING YOUR FUNERAL. HE CAN BE A JERK SOMETIMES AND HIS HAND GETS TIRED.”
Jixby Phillips: Haha!
Jixby Phillips: Nice reference to da ting
