hatred of farts it’s a phobia
[Music]
number six he butted heads with Tim and
Eric Tim I got you something what Tim
Heidecker and Eric Wareheim best known
for their sketch comedy series Tim and
Eric awesome show great job agreed to
help wise though in 2009 with a show he
was developing called the neighbors the
move came after Rizzo appeared on an
episode of their after mention series
however things didn’t go as planned
apparently problems began to arise when
wise o requested creative input from the
comedic duo who had only signed on as
producers please please can my brains
not at home I’m asking for one favor
please yeah my greatest I know they
wanted wise o to do what he does in a
vacuum without any assistance from

failure or success of the room why so
acted in two short films the house that
drips blood on Alex and bump a couple of
years after that he acted in and
produced the action thriller samurai cop
2 deadly vengeance
[Music]
of course we all know that wise oh is
best when he’s behind the camera so if
you’re looking for a wise Oh director
work check out his 2004 documentary
homeless in America oh and he also
produced wrote and acted in it happy
watching oh oh one paycheck away from
being homeless number four he has his
own online store to be oh not to be that
is the question what do you do when
you’re the internationally recognized
writer director and star of one of the
most popular cult movies in film history
open a bazaar online store of course
tommy wiseau calm is the one-stop shop
for all the tommy wiseau inspired items
you never knew you needed from dvd’s
backpacks and dog tags to underwear
posters and hoodies the site pretty much
has you covered for all things related
to wise oh the room and well a bunch of
other random stuff humorously kidding
honey where I got the picture the
hardest part about visiting the site is
trying to decide what to click on next
and I filled my underwear the number one
underwear in the world number three he’s
a terrible dinner date according to Greg
Cisneros 2013 memoir the disaster artist
my life inside the room the greatest bad
film ever made having dinner with Tommy
Wise o is an interesting experience one
dinner in particular stood out for him
it was 2002 and after agreeing to dine
with him why so acted in exactly the
bizarre manner he has become famous for
y so refused to let the ballet park his
car because as we previously noted he
didn’t want the man to fart on his seats
once inside the restaurant Y zone used a
fake name in order to get a table and
then took exception to the fact that
women were hitting on him all in all an
odd experience well the interesting part
is that on our first date she paid for
dinner number two he promoted the room
with a billboard that stayed up for
years Los Angeles everybody want to be
star you had to be the best in the lead
up to its 2003 release the room was
advertised in a variety of ways foremost
among them being a massive billboard
that overlooked Hollywood’s Highland
Avenue the billboard featured a
black-and-white image of wise nose face
as well as a phone number and linked to
the film’s website of course none of
this is uncommon in the world of film
promotion what is uncommon is that the
billboards stayed up for over five years
and it cost wise Oh $5,000 per month how
he managed to pay for it remains a
mystery I cannot tell you it’s
confidential
number one he claims to have amassed his
fortune by selling pleather jackets I
don’t care I’ll do it based on its
obvious lack of production value you may
be surprised to learn that the room
actually had a budget of six million
dollars how to tell me why Zowie afford
to pay for his passion project you ask
by selling jackets of course the story
goes that when he first got to San
Francisco he sold everything from yo-yos
to jeans and later began importing and
selling Korean jackets of course it’s
difficult to get a straight answer out
of him so for all we know this could
just be a classic case of misdirection
and Tommy Wiseau is actually a member of
some European royal family but I mean
probably not
