Tom's Netflix Show 'Bad Thoughts' Season 2
Tom discusses his new Netflix show 'Bad Thoughts' Season 2, which Joe describes as perfectly capturing Tom's unique comedic mind. The show features outrageous scenarios including a dance episode and a Freaky Friday-style episode. Netflix has given Tom complete creative freedom, allowing him to push boundaries in ways that likely wouldn't be possible elsewhere. The show's production quality is cinematic, with Tom praising his cinematographer Nico Wiesnett for making everything look like a film.
- Joe watched two episodes and found them hilarious, particularly the dance and Freaky Friday episodes
- The show is described as 'one of the best examples of one person's mind in a show' without network interference
- Netflix gives Tom complete creative freedom with no restraints
- Tom did six dance rehearsals for one episode because 'dancing is hard'
" It is one of the best examples of one mind, like one person's mind in a show. Without a whole bunch of people saying, don't do that, don't do this. "
" They give us no restraints in the craziest, greatest sense. They really are like, do whatever you want to do. "
Wild Boar Hunting and Texas Wildlife
The conversation shifts to wild boar hunting in Texas, where Joe explains the massive overpopulation problem with 2.6 to 4 million wild pigs in the state alone. They discuss how hunting is completely legal year-round, including with night vision, and how pigs are incredibly destructive to the ecosystem. Tom expresses interest in taking his kids hunting, and Joe offers to connect him with Jesse Griffiths, a chef who runs hunting education programs.
- Texas has 2.6 to 4 million wild pigs, and hunting them is legal 24/7 including with night vision
- Wild pigs can have up to three litters per year with six piglets each, starting at six months old
- Pigs are omnivorous and will eat anything including dead animals, requiring thorough cooking to avoid trichinosis
- Jesse Griffiths runs a school teaching the complete process from hunting to cooking
" You can shoot them out of helicopters, too. And they needed to go. They have to go. There are so many of them, dude. "
" They eat each other. Like if one pig dies, sometimes they die in fights. They fight with each other and they die, or sometimes they get hit by a hunter and they live and then they die. Then the pigs eat them. "
