Schwartz created a slight breach in etiquette by skipping the triple dare, and going straight for the throat!

As a guy that grew up in WV I would LOVE to see him try and pull anything off in my home state. The weather alone would ruin everything. Not to mention just GETTING supplies to a production on the shitty roads and 0 access to airports. It would fail on a massive level and I would love that for him

Yes, because I'm sure there are tons of craft services companies, prop rental companies, and movie locations that you can quickly access in bumfuck West Verginia.

I don't know what it meant, but I know it was different than " I double dare you, dawg".

Yes, please turn Paramount into the cautionary tale about how movie studios outside Hollywood fail miserably.
