BONUS! - Stevie

Not the episode to speed run through. One of your best bonus episodes and it was really an eye roll when you say, we are running out of time so real quick...no. Take your time on these. My god

I wish they’d do this episode again now that episodes are an hour and a half. So much more from the documentary to talk about.

Joining Patreon was the best move!!! I started at the beginning and plan to enjoy every single episode, just like I did with ALL of your podcasts. I just can't get enough of you both!

Good thing the guys watch this, cause I know I can't. I absolutely hate that much stupidity and deliberate stupidity.

Made a shit load of my friends watch this and they all hated me for it! Hahaa still one of my favorite docs out there

Oh man, what a ride… where do you even begin? One quick note about the girlfriend’s speech — it was very reminiscent of what someone living with a hearing loss sounds like. I remember Stevie mentioning that she has a disability, maybe that was it? On the other hand, her mom seemed to have an “R” problem too, so who the hell knows. I feel like almost the entire cast could have used some speech/language therapy. Source: am speech therapist.

I've heard you mention "Stevie" few times and I'm so glad I listened to this now cause I for real thought the documentary was about Stevie Wonder and it always felt like something was not adding up xd

Tonyas friend though!! ❤️

the Les Mis T-shirt kills

I had to pause this episode and hunt down the documentary - Oh my gosh! It's funny.... but it's also really, really, sad.

Also, Southern Illinois is exactly how the doc is and exactly how you guys talk about it. It’s a panhandle mess.

Ok. I have a crazy story about this doc... I graduated high school in Southern Illinois (Marion High). I only went there for a year. After high school I ended up working at the local Dillards after I dropped out of college... I know, I’m a real winner. Anyways, I never really explored the Southern Illinois area. But once I worked at that Dillards I met some people and they took me to the local wineries and hiking. One place they took me was Pamona, IL. They actually have a decent winery there. Anyways, I got to know the area better. One day I was at home watching the Sundance channel around 2007; still living in the area, and this documentary “Stevie” was on. As I was watching it I realized I had been to all the places in this documentary. Obviously the documentary became more fascinating since I knew where everything was. Then I saw the scene where Stevie gets arrested. Then I saw a face I recognized. The police officer that was arresting Stevie was the same officer that moonlighted for security at the Dillards I worked at. I could not wait to ask him about it the next day I worked. So the next time I went into work I saw the officer. I walked up to him and said, “hey, I’m pretty sure I saw you in a movie the other day.” He said, “which movie?” I said, “What do you mean which movie? How many movies are you in? It’s called Stevie.” He said, “Oh yea. Well there’s also a Disney documentary I’ve been in.” So I asked him all the questions you can think of about Stevie. And the answers are exactly what you would think. Anyways, I’m glad other people enjoy this doc as much as I did, and love these podcasts as much as I do. Just had to share that coincidence.

In the UK here, I can't find it on Prime 😩! Can't find it anywhere but I really want to watch it since it's talked about so much. Waiting to see it before I listen to this bonus episode .

I can’t believe nobody has said it... Jill Knapp - “pocket froggin”

Did Stevie have a mullet? Can't stop laughing 🤣. Was drinking water and it went up my nose when I burst out laughing at the part of "Hot Chick"... 🤣💙

“Let’s just brush her hair for a while..” I’m wheezing. I can’t find this anywhere to watch and it’s killing me.

I have listened to this about 39 times and it never gets old. I have to listen to it again this morning b/c I was sitting at a stop light and out of no where I thought about “they ain’t gona say nothin to me about it” and started hysterically laughing. It made my morning and set a great tone for the day ! Thank you guys for doing what you do. You truly are a light while the world is burning down around us ❤️✌🏼🌻

Did you see where he grabbed a frog out of a puddle in front of the post office to use as bait and put it in his pocket...

I need more documentaries guys! I've already watched Winnebago Man too and that was amazing! This was something else... Favorite scene was also Stevie and the frogs. My most infuriating scene was when Stevie's girlfriend's sister starts talking about what happened to her. I had to pause this and collect myself a bit after that part. Excellent recommendation guys please tell me more if you have any in mind!

Documentary recommendations - Goodnight, Sugar Babe and Red Dog (both on Prime)!

I wanna party with that guy!!! He is amazing!!!

Listened yesterday and I just started the movie. I’m so pumped

I will have to watch it. I heard the rant Jimmy went on it was a STM/CIS episode about it. So I watched steve that beautiful train wreck. The rant on the les miserables t-shirt wearing white supremacist is classic. I was hoping for more.

James I'm disappointed you need a Steve 2 or something no mention of the white supremacist in the les miserables t-shirt.

Holy fucking white trash, this doc is amazing

I just watched Stevie! Amazing show! I found myself really and truly disliking the hoop dreams dude tho

I always pictured the folks featured in Stevie as descendants to the immigrant family from Upton Sinclair's The Jungle.

This was a great documentary! I had no idea Indiana was so rural. Stevie’s life was both horrifying and sad.

Stevie reminds me of Justin Miller!!

I’m from Central Illinois and it’s a weird State. Very hillbilly in the Southern part, Swamp Yankees in Central part, and city-slickers in the North. I agree with you Jill on the scene with the frog. “See. I’m smart!” and the frog hops away for a moment 😂

I can't believe this is Illinois. Never woulda thought it was that rural. Best part hands down was when stevie was frogging for bait and he tried to shove the frog in his pocket!

This is driving me mad I'm in the UK and can't find a way to watch it!

Goddamn. White trash at its finest. That whole cast of characters reminded me of folks I grew up around back home in Montana.

I've got to watch it now!

This is the most amazing thing I have ever seen. I cant believe it. I have to watch it again.

Doesnt matter..

Dude is seriously creepie.

I know when to hold em and when to fold em!!

I’m watching the doc right now. WTF is going on?!?! Holy shit.

I concur with Stephanie M. Until then, I’m headed out to get my new tramp stamp tattoo. In Large, Cursive, hot pink ink. ‘It’s My Virginnie’!🤣🤣🤣

I would love a part 2 of this bonus episode wherein you discuss the white supremacists who make a couple of appearances, especially the blond, mullet-sporting leader. Dear god.
