KPop Demon Hunters - Tex Men Ep 3

·1 hr 13 min·5 clips

Jason and Ashley cancel their helicopter holiday special because two men paid them with a meme coin to air their podcast instead.

The episode begins as a Geek History Lesson holiday special, but hosts Jason and Ashley reveal it has been preempted by a paid advertisement from Tex Willerman and Kurt Wagner for their podcast 'Texmen'. Tex opens the episode with his bombastic Texas persona, introducing his co-host Kurt Wagner (Nightcrawler) via a phone call. Tex declares his love for the film 'K-Pop Demon Hunters', which he mistakenly believes is a documentary about Korea, describing its elements like black-hatted cowboys, a giant campfire, and a tiger with a bird. Kurt and a surprise guest, Remy Lebeau (Gambit), join to discuss the film, though Remy is confused as he expected to talk about X-Men. The conversation is interspersed with fictional comedy ads for products like Moodwear and Nutri-Gloop. Tex shares bizarre trivia, such as a news story about a couple where a man's mouth spasmed shut on his girlfriend's hand, which occurred on the film's release date. Kurt reveals he is a half-demon, mirroring the film's protagonist Rumi, creating tension with Tex. Tex explains specific film scenes, like characters sliding into a ball pit on a talk show, which is based on the real Korean show 'Hello Counselor', and shares a disturbing episode about child abuse. Tex announces plans to move to South Korea, adopt a child from the talk show episode, and open a Piggly Wiggly grocery store selling only kimchi, light sticks, and roast beef. The episode concludes with ratings for the film, holiday plans, and promotions for other shows like 'Watson' and 'Landman', before Tex signs off with a mispronounced Korean farewell.
