Brandon and Kenny discuss Christopher Walken's memorable cameo as a mobster-turned-janitor under witness protection in the otherwise terrible comedy "Joe Dirt." They theorize on why his performance is funny and begin to brace themselves, as this role is the beginning stages of the "Wacky Walken" phase which would last for nearly a decade. After listening to David Spade tell an anecdote about a conversation with Walken about acting with animals, they pontificate on what one question they would like to ask Walken when he finally makes a guest appearance on the podcast one day. Brandon says that he would ask him about the infamous "I'm an alligator" urban legend, and Kenny would ask him about why he took such low-budget projects over the years. They then look at future Walken movies they're excited to watch, and the conversation devolves into the merit of live-action Disney remakes of their classic movies.
