And a lot of love was lost.<\/p>\n<p>Listener Danny Jr.&#8217;s wife lovingly commissioned \u201cSpies Like Us\u201d as a ninth anniversary gift. And Danny Jr. lovingly dedicated it to his late father, a double-VCR-owning pioneer. And we love the love they share.<\/p>\n<p>But love can be a fickle thing, especially when it comes to Chevy Chase. Roger adored him in \u201cChristmas Vacation,\u201d and Big D cheered him in \u201cCaddyshack.\u201d But \u201cSpies Like Us\u201d is the movie that broke the Pakistani camel&#8217;s back.<\/p>\n<p>Where was the funny man we know and love? Why were women acting like Chevy was attractive? What happened to his hair?<\/p>\n<p>Even a young and hirsute Dan Aykroyd, a stoic and steely Steve Forrest, a shapely Vanessa Angel, and cameos galore couldn&#8217;t deliver this movie that was written for comedians by comedians.<\/p>\n<p>In this episode, the Shat Crew discusses what they&#8217;d do with their last minutes on Earth, the Fart Shift Eye Transfer, U.S. foreign policy, military training, the Florida woman who bit a camel&#8217;s testicles, and why Paul McCartney is the worst.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Plot Summary: \u201cSpies Like Us&#8221;<\/strong> Looking for a way out of their mundane government jobs, Austin Millbarge (Dan Aykroyd) and Emmett Fitz-Hume (Chevy Chase) take the entrance exam for a CIA espionage program. Immediately chosen to take part in a top-secret mission in the Middle East by the officious Gen. Sline (Steve Forrest), the new recruits are set upon by Soviet forces in Afghanistan. Soon it becomes clear that the hapless pair are being used as decoys to expose the Russians for a Cold War nuclear showdown.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Subscribe Now<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><em>Android: <a title=\"Android\" href=\"\/android\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">https:\/\/www.shatpod.com\/android<\/a><\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>Apple\/iTunes: <a href=\"\/apple\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/www.shatpod.com\/apple<\/a><\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong><u>Help Support the Podcast<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><em>Contact Us: <a href=\"\/contact\/\">https:\/\/www.shatpod.com\/contact<\/a><\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>Commission Movie: <a href=\"\/support\/\">https:\/\/www.shatpod.com\/support<\/a><\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>Support with Paypal: <a href=\"\/paypal\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">https:\/\/www.shatpod.com\/paypal<\/a><\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>Support With Venmo: <a href=\"\/venmo\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">https:\/\/www.shatpod.com\/venmo<\/a><\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>Shop Merchandise: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shatpod.com\/shop\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">https:\/\/www.shatpod.com\/shop<\/a><\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>Theme Song &#8211; Die Hard by Guyz Nite: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/guyznite\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/guyznite<\/a><\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Looking for a way out of their mundane government jobs, Austin Millbarge (Dan Aykroyd) and Emmett Fitz-Hume (Chevy Chase) take the entrance exam for a CIA espionage program.
