I do many podcasts. And I might have the same rant on every podcast I'm on. So I hit everyone with the exact same content because I'm so upset over it. You cover all the bases. Yeah. As you know, I'm not a fan of Netflix reality shows. No way. I never knew that.
Starting point is 00:01:42 You definitely knew that. I didn't know. Yeah. Yeah. I was being sarcastic. Oh, okay. I thought you were like, I didn knew that. You definitely knew that. I did know, yeah. Yeah. I was being sarcastic. Oh, okay. I thought you were like, I didn't know. You never explained this to me.
Starting point is 00:01:50 No. Yeah, no. I think they all suck. They're all terrible. I'm not a fan of them. It feels like someone at Netflix said, we should do a reality show, but no one there actually was a producer of reality shows and didn't understand the core concept and conceit of why people watch.
Starting point is 00:02:05 Yeah. And the newest one that, first off, for the record, I had like a melatonin pill or something because I was feeling all sore. And so I was suggested by one of our dear friends to get these like pills that when you work out a bunch, it like helps you sleep and like isn't just like a Tylenol PM, you know what I mean? Right. And so basically it just like helps you sleep and it like, you know, since you worked out that day, it'll sort of ease it down, baby. And I took one of those, but for some reason still couldn't sleep.
Starting point is 00:02:45 So I was in a daze. I was clearly melatonin. I was in a daze. But I was like, well, maybe I'll watch something and fall asleep. So I put on the Netflix reality show Squid Game. Not the TV show. Not the worldwide phenomenon. The Netflix reality show version of it.
Starting point is 00:03:06 And initially I went in. Oh, trust me, it is. And I went in thinking, okay, well, I'll give this a watch and hopefully it'll suck and I'll just fall asleep. And so I ended up watching that night the entire season. Here's the thing, though. I cared so little about what was going on. I think I fast forwarded through 90% of the show and only watched the game moments because, and this is the downfall of this show and what I think they don't understand. The average contestants you would have on a game
Starting point is 00:03:39 show like this, on a reality show, between 20 and 30, right? Like that's the average, right? This one started with 456 people. Oh my God. I think it was 456. And the reason why is because each person was worth $10,000, I believe. And I think it was like four something million dollars, 4.56 million or something like that. I don't know. It doesn't matter.
Starting point is 00:04:06 Why don't they just do 100? Who cares? Because I don't know, dude. I don't know. It's already off to a terrible start and the first thing they do is that game from the episode where it's like the little girl turns around and people get shot
Starting point is 00:04:22 and stuff, right? And so right away there's the conceit that they are playing Squid Game. And so you would think, okay, when they die, what happens? I got to watch. I got to see what happens. And someone must have told them when you get shot, and they have little squibs in their chest. So when they're out, their squib explodes and it looks like they had shot.
Starting point is 00:04:48 Right. And I guess someone told them when you get shot, fall to the ground and pretend like you're dead, which is already very morbid and weird. Yeah. But the fact that some people do it and some people are like, nah, like one guy got shot and just looked at it and was like,
Starting point is 00:05:03 oh man, like walked away. And then some people get shot and they, like, slump down and start acting. And some people get shot and they just kind of sit on the ground. Like, oh, man. Very weird. Already very weird. Right. But because it's a reality show, they have to have certain characters you want to follow, right?
Starting point is 00:05:20 Like, that's the whole point. And at the beginning, they have all the tropes there's the young kid with his mom and by young kid i mean he's probably like 22 uh with his with his mom and they're both there because the mom wants to test herself she can still compete and do things and the son wants to you know he was um almost killed or he almost died in some terrible way and he's like i want to i'm back i want to show the world i can do this right then there's the guy who's the jock and he's like they're like i'm an asshole no one can tell me what to do and i'm gonna run this shit and then there's you know sassy girl a and sassy girl b and they don't get along. And then there's one girl who's like the gamer girl.
Starting point is 00:06:05 And then there's the old man and the old man, he connects to this sort of young, tough guy and they become like father and son and he keeps calling them Gramps. And they're like, there's this whole thing going on where it's, you know, that sounds great. Okay.
Starting point is 00:06:22 I guess I can get behind these characters and see what they're doing and here's the problem. There are 456 people Crandor and at the beginning they focus on certain people. But what happens over the course of eight episodes is because there's so many people
Starting point is 00:06:38 and there's so many random factors a great example is at one point this guy who is I think he was either a coach or a former cop or something. And he's been kind of leading a lot of people and he's been trying to show people, hey, yeah, if we just do this and we do this and he gets killed air quotes by random chance. So they spent three episodes building a character and then he's gone. And it's like oh okay so who do we follow now and you would think what they would do smartly is in episode one focus on a huge variety of characters and then as the episodes whittled down because you have who wins the end, you would focus on whoever won
Starting point is 00:07:25 and the people surrounding them so that you get a full story over the eight episodes. Right. No, no, no. No, no, no. I think they probably assumed we would guess then who was going to win based on who they focused on.
Starting point is 00:07:37 Right. Who they focus on does not matter. What ends up happening is, a great example is the guy who got out by random chance. The next episode they just decide to focus on someone totally different you've never met before. And it's like,
Starting point is 00:07:54 this is a random red-headed girl that you've never seen in any of the episodes. She's just here now. And we want you to care about her. Or there's like this old Asian woman. She, everyone's like, damn, she is the smartest person here. I do not remember seeing her in the first five episodes at all.
Starting point is 00:08:12 I don't know where she was. I don't know what was going on. They set up emotional beats and emotional moments where, you know, they do a thing where they end up pitting friends against each other and it's it's supposed to be like an emotional wreck i didn't know who 90 of the people on the screen were and they spent time with each of the groups and i'm like i don't know these people i don't give a damn who lives or dies like none of this matters to me right and they keep doing that where they'll hype up a character like they had one guy who they kept focusing on they had so many emotional beats about this guy and then they play a game of battleship which i'll admit the battleship
Starting point is 00:08:57 episode was really cool i actually liked that a lot i thought that was kind of a fun game but in it they they it's all about this dude. And about, oh, man, this guy. He could go all the way. This could be it. He didn't even have any of it in his hands. He was killed because someone else made a mistake. And it was so anticlimactic.
Starting point is 00:09:20 It was just like, okay, so what? Okay. tactic. It was just like, okay, so what? Another great example is the... You saw the show, right? The TV show? Yes. So you know the one where they're jumping and they're going from block to block on that pit? Oh, the glass? Yes, yeah, yeah. So they do
Starting point is 00:09:39 that, and the team, the whole remaining group of people agree that if one person makes a choice, that 50-50, the person behind them has to then jump in front of them and make a 50-50 choice. So everyone on the team has to at least do one 50-50. What ends up happening is the guy in front jumps, he crashes through. Next guy crashes through. So the third person is like, right i made it i got my 50 50 girl behind me it's your turn and she doesn't even look at him doesn't move doesn't do anything
Starting point is 00:10:12 refuses to talk the rest of the team is like damn she betrayed our whole plan like she's ruined everything this lady's the worst and then so the guy in front jumps, he crashes through. So this girl's like, man, I guess I'm in front now. She jumps, she's fine. And then she turns to the group like, alright, who's gonna jump in front of me? Now a normal group would be like, F you, you can't expect us to do the thing you wouldn't do.
Starting point is 00:10:38 Right. But no, but no, they're all like, okay, and just do it. And I was outraged. I was like, wait, how? I don't understand. Meanwhile, there's one woman who was like, okay, and just do it. And I was outraged. I was like, wait, how? I don't understand. Meanwhile, there's one woman who was like, I hate her. I hate what she did. I hate her.
Starting point is 00:10:52 And I'm like, okay, she's going to get her back. This is going to be amazing. Next episode, people are just like, man, she's so strong-willed. I can't believe she defied the whole plan. She's awesome. She's, you know what? I like her. And I'm like, wait, did I miss something? No
Starting point is 00:11:10 people would act like this. Like, you know what, you screwed us all, but also thanks, you're amazing. I couldn't believe it. I was like, wait, what? It was that kind of thing. We're just, and then at a certain point,
Starting point is 00:11:26 all the characters I cared about were gone. And it was like, here's new characters. Care about them. I was like, I don't know this person. You've never once shown me this person before. What do I... The difference is... Like, um...
Starting point is 00:11:40 Spoiler, skip ahead exactly two minutes. Everyone listening, if you don't want to hear this. I don't know who cares about spoiling. Yeah, I don't think I know. Okay. But the person who wins wasn't, she reminded me of the dude from the very first season of Survivor who's notorious for being an asshole. He was just an asshole to everyone.
Starting point is 00:11:59 Everyone hated him, but he won because he played the game well. And she does the exact same thing, except here's the problem. When it comes to the guy who Richard, I think his name was, the guy from the first season of Survivor, we saw him from moment one weasel his way through the entire process. You could follow the way he played everyone. This show, this woman shows up with three episodes left. I don't know her at all. And suddenly everyone's like, she's the best player in the game. Like what?
Starting point is 00:12:30 What do you mean? I've never seen her once. And then they just really hype up the fact it's an unbearable show to watch. It's truly the games are fun. And to see people get really emotional for no reason. Like there's times where they're like, everyone line up in groups of eight.
Starting point is 00:12:50 And then people get in the groups of eight, and then this one girl starts crying. She's like, it's so stressful. I'm like, it's just a game, girl. These people aren't actually dying. And they're like, oh, God. Oh, my God. There's the one where they have to chisel out the cookie or candy or whatever the hell that thing is. Oh, yeah, that one.
Starting point is 00:13:10 And they're like, okay, you all need to go and pick a door. And that's going to represent everyone in your line. The first group goes. They refuse to cooperate with each other. And all four are killed, right? They refuse to, because no one wants to take the umbrella. So all four are killed.
Starting point is 00:13:31 And they're like, all right, next group go. All four are killed. They refuse to cooperate. Here's the thing. I would refuse to cooperate too. I'd rather them shoot me right then than be the sucker
Starting point is 00:13:41 who they convinced to take the umbrella. Because spoiler, the group they did convince to take the umbrella, all but two were taken out. Like, yeah, no shit. So I would have been like, no, if you guys want to be dicks about this, all three of you can go home with me. But everyone, for some reason, was just like,
Starting point is 00:14:02 I don't want to be shit. I'm going to put all those people. Oh, God, I killed them all. Like, you didn anything you did not it's a game you did nothing you did nothing yeah this show sounds like it sucks it sucks it sucks who okay spoiler again who wins at the end then the uh little asian lady who everyone was like this lady's so smart. She's playing a game. She, the first time I recall seeing her on screen is she was saying
Starting point is 00:14:32 that one of the men were unbearable and then that man saved her and she immediately switched to being like, he's my savior and I love him and I'll never forget him. And then she immediately forgets him and moves on to backstabbing everyone and
Starting point is 00:14:48 trying to play the game really hard. That kind of thing. She's really good at deduction and reading people's faces. Like a great example she's playing rock, paper, scissors with the guy and for moment one she's like this dude is a man and men usually choose rock or scissors because they're very masculine and
Starting point is 00:15:04 tough. So I'm going to use that against him. And she destroys this dude, by the way. She's just, like, smarter than everyone else, right? Yeah. But she's just not interesting in any way. And you meet her with, like, three episodes left. And I don't know. I don't know if people are supposed to dislike her.
Starting point is 00:15:22 I was so indifferent on whether she won or not. The final round was between two characters who I barely knew. And I was like, this, I feel like this could be edited so much better. Yeah. I feel like they probably did the thing where like, we don't want to give it away.
Starting point is 00:15:37 Who's going to win. But then it's like, that's what makes the show like watchables. Cause then you can follow the person, but like you could have multiple people feel like they're going to win. So it's not like you're going to figure out the one person will win and be like, Oh,
Starting point is 00:15:50 it's probably down to like these 15 people were following or something. That's. And that's what sucked is at the beginning, it was that right. They'd have interviews with people and there was the different tropes of characters. And it felt like, okay,
Starting point is 00:16:03 any one of them could win, but you had a favorite by episode five or six, every single one of characters, and it felt like, okay, any one of them could win, but you had a favorite. By episode five or six, every single one of them, I think, was gone. So they had to keep filling in people, and you're totally right. I feel like they set it up at the beginning so you'd pick someone, and then you'd be shocked when they, you know, air quotes, died. But the thing is, the reason why the show is good is because in the tv show the actual squeak game there was a main character that you're following yeah that's what i was gonna say like i was like in the real show you know the guy is gonna win but you're following him the whole time
Starting point is 00:16:35 so it's like you just still don't care like it's still stressful yeah there's other characters you meet along the way who are his friends there's like yeah there's other things you're like wow i don't want that person to die. But you know they're going to die. Like that's the drama of the show. This had none of that. I'd watch the various games to see what spin they'd have on them. But, you know, there's the marble game, for example.
Starting point is 00:17:04 They made these teams go and play marbles against each other. It was like friends versus friends. And it was crazy because you got to see people get stressed and fight with their best friend they made there during the few days they were there. And I thought that was fun because it was a very human experience to see people who moments before were best friends and now they're going against each other. And you could see the people who were like, hey, dude whatever happens we'll just do one marble and i love you bro versus the people who you thought were really close and it was very clear they were just two assholes that like joined together right and it was that was like okay that's interesting but then you're reminded how goofy it is when at the end they play really sad music and then it shows like all their friends, their friends like slow walking away while the one who remains gets like blasted. But it's like fake.
Starting point is 00:17:53 And there's like, oh, they fall over in the dirt or like, you know, there's one older woman just sat down and they shot her and she just leaned up against the wall. What the hell is this show? And then the worst part is, is after it ends, they do one of those, like, but the game's not over. If you want to audition right now,
Starting point is 00:18:15 you can go to this website and audition to be on the next season. Like there is, there's no need for another season. This show sucked. Genuinely sucked. It's, uh, I just, the thing I was going to say too is like, even if you know something's going to happen, it still can be stressful.
Starting point is 00:18:32 Like there's plenty of times you rewatch like movies, like you rewatch like a Lord of the Rings or something. You still get stressed out when they're fighting and you're like, man, I hope they get out of this even though I've watched it like 20 times and I know it's going to happen. The smart money would have been, like you said, there's 15 people they get out of this, even though I've watched it like 20 times and I know it's going to happen. The smart money would have been, like you said, there's 15 people they follow out of the huge group that 15 people. We don't because they were on set. They know who the two final people are. If you start from there and back trace it, you can go all the way back and then focus on the people around them and build out the show.
Starting point is 00:19:04 And then it leads to when the two of them meet at the end. But instead, it's two people who they barely even show on film. The one guy was on it a lot more than the Asian woman. But that dude, it was barely in it because he was like always part of alliances and he was in the background. Yeah. So you'd see him. He was clearly there and it wasn't until later they tried to give them character but at that point i just
Starting point is 00:19:28 didn't care because all the characters i did care about were gone so i had zero investment in the show the last three episodes i think were maybe two and a half hours long and i watched about 20 minutes total of those two and a half hours i just fast forward through all of it to be like okay yeah okay there's about uh 25 minutes of people talking and a half hours. I just fast forward through all of it to be like, okay, yeah, okay, there's about 25 minutes of people talking, and they're strategizing, and nope, nope, nope, moving forward, moving forward. What is the game? And I'm sure in that bit that I skipped,
Starting point is 00:19:54 they probably tried to introduce them, but come on. Like, that's stupid. Well, it's also, once you realize that people are just going to die that you're learning about, it's like, why do I even care about learning about these people? Because they're just going to die that you're learning about, it's like, why do I even care about learning about these people? Because they're just going to die. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:20:07 Right? Yeah. There was one woman who, in one episode, she's like, I'm very smart and I'm beautiful and men are afraid of beauty and smarts. And I thought, okay, that's going to be a thing that either helps her or hurts her, and we're going to find out. And as far as I remember, she just got out because of a weird, like, accident. Oh. Like, her strategizing her planning, it didn't, like, I don't, she had a 50-50 shot, and she lost, and that's it. It wasn't like people betrayed her, and then, you know, they took her out.
Starting point is 00:20:52 I was like, oh, okay, cool. So the moral of the story is this show sucks. Yeah, yeah, no, it's a trash show. And I was upset with myself that I kept watching it because what I'm happening Like I said, I was kind of drowsy, but the first episode I was like, this is so insane. I Have to see what the next episode is and I watched the next episode and there was a like four or five characters I actually really liked I was like, okay, let's see Obviously if they're focusing on them they must be some of the like even, even the asshole, the dude who was like a former college football player who dropped out to be on this show, which is insane.
Starting point is 00:21:30 And then. What? Yes. And then one of the older characters went over to talk to him to determine if it was like all bluster and show or if he really was just a giant piece of shit. And she like to camera is just like no no that's for show he really is has the biggest ego ever and I was like oh I gotta watch this guy
Starting point is 00:21:51 cause you know either he's gonna win it all or go down in the worst craziest way right oh yeah so I'm like alright he's in my list of people I care about and by the time we get to when he gets out his getting out is it's stressful but not for the reasons of him failing it's stressful And by the time we get to when he gets out, his getting out is stressful, but not for the reasons of him failing.
Starting point is 00:22:09 It's stressful because other people are failing, and he's going to lose because of it. I see, yeah. And you're just like, wait. Like League of Legends. Yeah, and you're just like, wait a minute. Time out. Time out.
Starting point is 00:22:20 So this dude, who his entire thing is about how he loves to be in control and can do anything about being in control, in the end he loses control. And that's how he dies. And I'm like, okay, it's an interesting story you're telling, but it's not very fulfilling on a dramatic level. You know what I mean? I wanted something better for that character you've created. Because obviously this is reality TV. None of these people are the real versions of themselves. yeah i'm like all right well then why make a character like that like i don't there was 450 some people you could have picked why pick him
Starting point is 00:22:55 and then that's it and they did that with all these characters and it made me so upset i was like did anyone plan this did anyone think like and maybe it could be because the people that won at the end of the day weren't that interesting? What did the show get on the ratings now? I'm curious. There are no ratings on Netflix as far as I'm aware. Wait, there's no rating? I just smell like. Oh, do people like it?
Starting point is 00:23:20 Oh, there we go. It's got a 5.6 on IMDB. Out of 10? Yeah. And a 44% on Rotten Tomatoes. Yeah, that's pretty bad. Wait, the audience gave it 81? I mean, the audience might have,
Starting point is 00:23:42 but I'm looking at the audience rating gave it a 2.1, according to what I'm looking at. Oh, wait, is this? Maybe, no, this is definitely, what are you looking at? Just, I went to Google and I typed in Squid Games, the challenge reviews. Oh, you're on Google reviews. Squid Game's The Challenge Reviews. Oh, and Google Reviews. Yeah, and some people are like,
Starting point is 00:24:11 this is the raw essence of reality competition. And some people are just like, like this guy is pretty accurate. Netflix took an immensely successful story that captivated an entire globe and then dragged it through the mud by making a steaming heap of garbage and labeling it under the same name. Yeah, participants,
Starting point is 00:24:29 yeah, this guy says the same thing. He wanted people to root for. But every single person selected to participate that was developed through interviews absolutely was downright cringeworthy the way they went out.
Starting point is 00:24:45 And it's true. Like, everyone... Like, there's so many... There are 790 reviews on Google Reviews and a vast majority of them are one star. This person said, I have even read reports that they were fitted with dummy microphones with their flights home pre-booked for the same day
Starting point is 00:25:04 for a bunch of the early elimination people yeah that sounds right yeah this is i kind of want to watch one episode dude i'm telling you the red light green light episode the first episode i was hooked on the fact that they were setting stuff up. Right. And it's so good. Again, it's so goofy. I had to see where it was going because there's, there's no,
Starting point is 00:25:30 the main event is, I don't understand what the stress is. You're doing red light, green light. And what ends up happening is the, the doll turns around and then everyone stops, but it isn't like the drama of in the show where people
Starting point is 00:25:47 just get blasted, right? The doll stops, everyone stops and then these people wearing the pink outfits in a fake-ass control room with fake-ass screens press buttons that are fake and then random people that we don't know if they stopped
Starting point is 00:26:04 or not, there is no indication whether they stopped or not. Just start exploding. Like their chest explode. And like I said, some of them sit down, some of them fall over dead. Some of them like look at the blood and like, Oh man.
Starting point is 00:26:16 And some of them just walk away. And I was just like, what the hell is this? And the only, the only one that was even remotely dramatic is this woman is like trying to crawl or something. And she gets caught in a really awful position where she has to hold it. And it doesn't turn around again for a while. And so she like can't do it anymore.
Starting point is 00:26:38 And instead of falling dramatically or whatever, she just gives up and sits down and then gets blasted. And you're like, wait a minute, what? And she's crying. She's like, oh. I was like, you're in round one of a game. Sure, there's millions of dollars on the line, but, like, it's round one. If you can't make it through, fine. Enjoy your time and go home.
Starting point is 00:26:57 Like, they're making it so serious. Yeah, I just love the fact that some people, like, follow in someone else's, like, ah, fucking like, I'm telling you, it's incredible. And it keeps happening as time goes on. There'll be moments where, the one where they're doing the cookie thing, in the movie, or not movie, but the show, dudes walk around and just blast these people in the head.
Starting point is 00:27:22 And this, it's like, they're trying to get their cookie, they're trying to get their cookie, they're trying to get their cookie, and then they go, oh man! And they put their cookie down, and they just sit there, a few seconds go by, and then their chest explodes. And they go, oh well. It's so crazy, dude.
Starting point is 00:27:42 So crazy. So dramatic. Yeah, I don't, I just don't understand it i don't understand what this was about i guess there's 10 episodes total the last few i just flew through at a certain point i just did not give a damn anymore i was like this show absolutely sucks yeah what what point what episode was the the breaking point? When they did the jumping on the glass. Which one was that? Like five or something? I don't remember.
Starting point is 00:28:15 It's five or six. No, I think it's seven. Because six was the marble game, and that's where they pitted friends against each other, and that was hilarious to me. Because there was, I mean, like, I thought it was ruthless the way they did it. They, like, purposely set them up to have, like, you got to go compete against your friend. But, yeah.
Starting point is 00:28:37 That's like what happened in the actual show, wasn't it? Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's just a weird, it's just like a ruthless kind of thing to do, so I had to watch. But at that point, I was already kind of checked out anyway at that point. Because again, by the time we got to the marble thing, out of the 15 or so characters I cared about, three were left. Well, the thing is, even with the marbles, it happens in the show. And so there has to be some part of your mind that's like,
Starting point is 00:29:04 I'm going to have to play this against my friends or something. Right. Like you've seen the show already. So there's gotta be a part of you that even knows what's coming. So that kind of sucks. What's even, what's even worse about it is the episode ends on like a really tearful, at least for whoever who was making this,
Starting point is 00:29:20 a tearful farewell. And it's like really sad air quotes. a tearful farewell and it's like really sad air quotes and then the result of it is completely upended in the very beginning of the next episode like the characters that you're like oh my god I'm so happy they made it through
Starting point is 00:29:34 gone in the next episode immediately immediately and then you're left with a bunch of characters you do not like on this damn bridge just like I don't give a damn who wins and from episode 7 on I, just like I don't give a damn who wins. And from episode 7 on, I was just like, fast forward, fast forward, fast forward. Okay, fast
Starting point is 00:29:50 forward. I just did not care. Well, I watched something. Okay. It was the Jim Carrey Grinch. You know what? Alright, first off, yes, I know what? All right.
Starting point is 00:30:07 First off, yes, I know what you mean. But second off, for some reason in my mind, when you said the Jim Carrey Grinch, I thought you said the Drew Carrey Grinch. I was like, wait a minute. I'm sorry. What? But never mind. You mean Jim Carrey? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:30:21 Yeah. I was like, Drew Carrey Grinch. It's just like bringing up Price is Right, the people. Yeah. Talking about Cleveland. It was very weird. I didn't know what to think. But Jim Carrey is a different story.
Starting point is 00:30:34 Yeah. It was literally the year 2000. And I watched it because my one friend was like, dude, I always watch the Jim Carrey Grinch. And I was like, I remember the ads for that, but I never watched it. So I was like, you know what? I'm going to watch it. And it was the Jim Carrey Grinch and I was like I remember the ads for that but I never watched it so I was like you know what I'm gonna watch it and it was the Jim Carrey Grinch oh you mean Jim Carrey dressed up in a costume being Jim Carrey yes it was just Jim Carrey but with a Grinch thing on going like here I go I'm the Grinch and then he'd like you know do Grinch things like out of my way I'm stealing the present present. Then the kids are like, oh, geez. And then that's a really good Grinch you're doing, by the way.
Starting point is 00:31:11 I'm stealing these presents. It's borderline Nick Cage, but I think maybe that's the point. Yeah, I think it's got to be a little Nick Cage in there. But he's more like. But honestly, like it was a it's kind of a kid's movie, right? But it's like, yes, it's Dr. Seuss. But there is something that felt good about it. And I was trying to piece together what it was.
Starting point is 00:31:35 And I think it was how that wasn't all CGI. I think I really like kind of like how Lord of the Rings isn't all CGI either. And that was like 2001 or something so it's just like they're actually doing like old-timey movie things like having props and like there is some cgi but they like blend it together really well and i was like i kind of just like that like that's what i enjoyed the vibe of it that it gave off and i i totally agree with you that they're in the mid-2000, we started to get very much away from that. There's a great documentary. I think it might be about Star Wars.
Starting point is 00:32:13 Actually, it might be James Cameron. Actually, it might be Arnold Schwarzenegger. It's one of them. It doesn't matter. I think it's Schwarzenegger talking about making Terminator and the idea of special effects and graphics and things. And the idea for years and years and years was, okay, we're going to spend weeks planning shots because in post we have to add this digital creature or digital special effect. And we have to know exactly the camera angle.
Starting point is 00:32:42 And it took forever. And it would be like in Jurassic Park. There's a few special effects shots. But we have 15 special effects shots. We need to make sure that these things look amazing. Because we only get so many takes. And we have to nail it. And at a certain point, computer generated whatever became so commonplace., and this is the example they use in the movie The Flash, the one that recently came out.
Starting point is 00:33:10 Oh, yeah. They did special effects and stuff before some characters were even on screen, and then they'd green screen them into the shot. And what they would do is they'd film scenes from multiple different angles so that whenever they needed to, could use the right angle for their weird pre-rendered graphics right and spoiler you can definitely tell it's atrocious and i think you know you see disney so the graphics keep getting worse and worse and worse and it says a lot about the fact that that's where the movie industry is right now. It's not very good looking. Yeah. It's, it's just like,
Starting point is 00:33:48 everything's the same. It's just boring. Yeah. It's just kind of bland. And it's like, it's just so much. And it's like, I,
Starting point is 00:33:55 maybe somebody will start trying to recreate that like early two thousands or like even just, I mean pretty much any movie before that point, even of like actually having props and stuff. Like it was just great. And what's crazy is go back and watch Lord of the Rings again, the first movie, right? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:34:11 Fellowship, I'm not sure if it's been edited out, but when the Nazguls show up, their faces are digitized pitch black. And so in the current iteration of TVs and the the way we watch stuff it's very noticeable you can see the like someone gradiated in like a black circle where their face would be yeah and at the time of course we didn't notice because you know it just technology is better now but now it's very noticeable just like if you watch star Wars in modern day, you can see the squares around the TIE fighter as they move through space. Oh, yeah. And it's just like there's something kind of fun about it where it's a product of the time.
Starting point is 00:34:56 And sure, it doesn't look perfect, but that's because it was made in 70 or Lord of the Rings is 22 years old. Which is crazy. Yeah. or Lord of the Rings is 22 years old. Which is crazy, yeah. So, you know, it's that kind of thing where sometimes it's fine to let things age. Yeah, I agree. And so that's why I see there's like new Grinch movies
Starting point is 00:35:15 and all this stuff, but I was like, you know what? I just like the vibe this one has, even though overall the movie's like a six out of ten. Yeah, I mean, most of those Dr. Seuss movies aren't great. It's like, how do we take a 12-page book and make it a two-hour movie? And they add, like, wacky scenarios
Starting point is 00:35:31 and, like, goofs and it's like, eh, I don't know. This one isn't working for me. Yeah, I agree. But it's the type of thing where once a year you could, like,
Starting point is 00:35:40 put it on while you're doing something else. And you're like, eh, that's kind of fun i'm shocked they didn't have the uh audacity to do some sort of avengers crossover because during the time period jim carrey uh mike myers was was cat in the hat oh yeah he's like if they could get all these people like if they could do the lorax right? They got the Danavito. If all of them are in one movie, that might be the best movie ever made. It really would.
Starting point is 00:36:09 They'd get somebody for green eggs and a ham or something. That's enough. They had that movie. Wait, did they do green eggs and a ham? They had a Horton Hears a Who movie. They had all that stuff. Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:36:19 I remember they did the Lorax. Imagine the crossover. It would have been amazing. Yertle the Turtle? Yeah, dude. You remember Yertle? the turtle yeah dude yeah man they could have done it they could have had the greatest movie ever made the most seussian movie yeah the uh what was the other dude i used to watch the butter battle there's like a cartoon butter battle whoa what you ever saw the butter battle i'm gonna have to google the butter battle
Starting point is 00:36:45 what is the butter battle yeah the butter battle is a dr seuss book where one town butters their bread on the top and the other town butters it on the bottom so they hate each other and they keep trying to fight each other and then at the the end, they're like both going to drop a explosive like peanut on each other. And they're both there. Apparently, it's like a book about the Cold War. Pretty much. I see that all 23 minutes of it are on YouTube. The Butter Battle book in 1989 full episode high quality.
Starting point is 00:37:24 It exists. Yeah, they made a cartoon out 1989, full episode, high quality. It exists. Yeah, they made a cartoon out of it. Like, that specific book. Yeah, a cold war between two lands over a ridiculous dispute leads to a perilous arms race. Yeah, so they, like, they hate each other going back and forth. They're like, I'm gonna shoot you with a slingshot. And he's like, I got ten slingshots. And he's like, I got a bobbity bop bop.
Starting point is 00:37:43 And it's a big thing that has, like, twenty slingshots. Then they're like, oh, yeah, well, I got a dog with a slingshots and he's like i got a bobbity bop bop and it's a big thing that has like 20 slingshots then they're like oh yeah well i got a dog with a slingshot they're like oh yeah i got a mech with slingshots they like go back and then they're like about to pretty much nuke each other and then they're just standing there but then they don't do it because the the you know at the start of the book they're talking about the past so they clearly didn't do it. But it's about the Cold War. And you're like, dang, dude. You know what's absolutely crazy about this? Is the actors that are in this.
Starting point is 00:38:12 The voice actors. Right. One of them, because this is 1989 is when this came out. Yeah. One of the actors is literally the dude who played the original Emperor Palpatine in Star Wars oh my god yeah one of the actors is from kindergarten cop one of the actors who
Starting point is 00:38:42 plays a character named Yuki and Sue is from Land Before Time. Wow. And then there's Chris Lotta, who was, I think he's Cobra Commander in G.I. Joe. What the shit? Which is absolutely crazy. And then famous Jim Cummings. It must have been one of his first jobs because he's listed as various yukes. Yeah, that's got to be.
Starting point is 00:39:19 It's got to be one of his first. If you're just like backup characters. But I mean, I guess it can't be because he's Winnie the Pooh. He's like all about, unless he became Winnie the Pooh later in life? Maybe? I don't know. Jim Cummings, when did you start acting?
Starting point is 00:39:36 Boy. They don't. Filmography, here we go. 1988 was the first stuff. Yeah, look at that. This was one of the first things That's pretty crazy, who would have thought He's in the butter battle Hold on, wait, that's a lie, 1985
Starting point is 00:39:51 Nope, that's a lie That's a lie He was in live action films in 1980 Oh But it was something called Sultan and the Rockstar And I don't think that's good Yeah, I don't, Sultan and the Rockstar He was in don't think that's good. Yeah, I don't. Sultan and the Rockstar. He was in the Garbage Pail
Starting point is 00:40:08 Kids movie. That's terrible. He was in... Okay, yeah, so I guess late 80s is when his career really took off, because in 88, he was bullet number two in Who Framed Roger Rabbit. Bullet number two? That's barely
Starting point is 00:40:24 a title. You're not in bullet number two that's barely that's barely a title you're not even bullet number one bullet number two yeah yeah yeah because it looks like his first big show was at gummy bears where he played zummy gummy and chummy gummy oh but it was but that's only season six onward because originally it was voiced by another guy. And then he did a bunch of additional voices and things. And yeah, it wasn't for a while. Jim Cummings had a whole comeuppance. Yeah, he didn't become Winnie the Pooh until 1988.
Starting point is 00:40:57 Wow. And that's kind of what he's known for. And then now he's in everything. That's actually pretty crazy. Look at that. Learn something new every day if you don't know who Jim Cummings is imagine one of your favorite cartoon characters That's just him. I promise you yeah It's oh my god. I forgot I got a rant about this before I forget again. He's also Pete
Starting point is 00:41:22 Use the map goof. Yeah, he's great Sorry, anyway, I need to write about this. I forget again. He's also Pete. Use the map, goof. Yeah, he's great. Sorry. Anyway, I need to rant about this. Here's my rant. Okay, hit me. I've ranted about this in the past. I don't know how long ago it was, but I have to do it again. So as the days get darker outside because of daylight, dumb
Starting point is 00:41:39 time, and just nature doing its thing, but we now have more headlights and i am about to go crazy over the amount of insanely bright headlights again do you get this are there la headlights where they're i mean la has cars that are full of their all lights dude dude. So yeah, I mean, LA, there's a woman who rides around our neighborhood on like a little scooter and she's covered in like fairy paraphernalia and wings.
Starting point is 00:42:12 And she has glitter that flows off her and bubbles that pop out. Trust me, lights are the least of my problems. All right, yeah, that's, you got plenty of problems. But there are, there are headlights, or or i swear to god if somebody's behind you you can't even like look in your rearview mirror because they're like it's like they're seeing into the fourth dimension it's like a military grade spotlight like they're hunting for somebody that just got out of prison like they broke out like i swear to god it's it's so bright
Starting point is 00:42:40 and it sucks because that if somebody's coming from the other side you can't even they'll have like their brights on i'm like is this person even turning and they have their turn signal at like normal levels it's like but you can't see the turn signal because if you look at their headlights you're blind do you have the same problem that i had in ohio where there's also like the red neckification of it where it's a pickup truck with bright lights but then they have like seven bright lights on the top of the truck too and all of those are on for some damn reason and you're like I'm just driving
Starting point is 00:43:12 what do you want it's not that dark out what are you trying to do there's not many of them but there's a couple there I've seen some like trucks that are insane too and then apparently this is a big thing there's like reddits about the headlights there's like I've seen videos like a like, Reddits about the headlights. There's, like, I've seen videos. Like, a news thing did a thing about the headlights.
Starting point is 00:43:27 Like, yeah, people are getting into accidents because they can't see because they get blinded. And then they, like, run into something. There's, like, I've seen TikToks with it. There's this girl yelling. Like, I got astigmatism. I can't even see because the person behind me is, like, insane. But then there's the people defending it. They're like, all you got to do is angle the lights down yeah well guess what nobody does it nobody does
Starting point is 00:43:49 that shit nobody angles their lights down all right so you gotta make you gotta make some sort of law against it we're like hey if you got them you have to angle them down otherwise you get ticketed like that has to be a thing and then then there's people like, whoa, I couldn't see the road until I got my bright headlights. Well, maybe your vision sucks and you have to get your license revoked. Too bad. If you can't see the, if you need military-grade
Starting point is 00:44:15 spotlights to see the road, maybe you shouldn't drive. Apparently, this is a very American problem. I don't, we'd have to, hey, if you're overseas, let us know. But apparently this is a very American problem. If you're overseas, let us know. But apparently this is a very American, maybe Canadian problem where LEDs and HIDs are more popular than ever. So it's brighter, more blue light stuff instead of the old soft white yellow color. The second thing is that these lights are much, much, much better for a driver because you can actually see the road more clearly, but worse for anyone you're shining the light on.
Starting point is 00:44:52 Yeah, anybody else. Yeah, and the lights need to be adjusted frequently, I guess. Yeah. People just don't do that. Yeah, they're don't do that. Yeah. And then the biggest thing that's why I think it's an American-ish problem is these lights, because, you know, they're on newer cars. The majority of new cars being purchased in the United States are big, tall trucks and SUVs.
Starting point is 00:45:16 Yep. And they're always, the lights are always at your rear view mirror level. So you're always getting blinded from behind and blinded from the front, where before, if it was smaller cars, you wouldn't have that issue because the lights would be underneath where your trunk would be.
Starting point is 00:45:36 And so, you know, having traveled a lot, having seen the rest of the world, they don't do big cars like us. We love ridiculously big cars. Yeah, they also don't drive as cars like us we love ridiculously big cars yeah and that sounds drive as much in europe true true but when they do they drive like the bmw tiny boy yeah yeah the triton minivan yeah you know just like over here like the people just be like, yeah, you don't like my lights? Deal with it. Like, you get those people. It's like, that's great.
Starting point is 00:46:09 Yeah, because we're very selfish. We would rather be able to see extremely clearly and blind someone than have like, I don't know, maybe if you can't see at night, you probably shouldn't be out driving. That's what I'm saying. If you need these insane lights to even see the road, maybe you shouldn't drive. Maybe you're just bad at driving. That's what I'm saying. If you need these insane lights to even see the road, maybe you shouldn't drive. Maybe you're just bad at driving if you can't see the road
Starting point is 00:46:30 with normal headlights. Yeah, this guy on this post says, Technology advances. The lights are better for the purposes of safety. It sounds like maybe you should change your driving locations
Starting point is 00:46:44 and times of day when you drive. If the glare is significant, make sure the inside and outside of your windshield is cleaned well, as well as wash your glasses if you wear them. Also, don't look directly into oncoming headlights. And someone just responded, fuck you, asshole.
Starting point is 00:47:07 It's so... God, I hate it. Like, it's the people are just like, you know what? I want them, so deal with it. Like, no, fuck you, idiot. All right? I hate it.
Starting point is 00:47:18 I just... And it's gotten worse. I think that's what's bothering me now. At first, it'd be like, you know, there's one person there and then whatever. But then, now it's just like so many cars have it so i guess there's more new cars with it and bigger cars and it's just i can't stay in it there needs to be some more some sort of law
Starting point is 00:47:33 done because the thing is like you start you can't even drive with your brights on or whatever you get pulled over like whoa you got your brights on this shit's brighter than brights so why is it not illegal it's so stupid yeah a lot of people are a lot of these uh posts also are people looking how do i get even brighter headlights yeah like what are they trying to do like like i said it's like they're tracking down prisoners at the fucking on an island alcatraz or some shit like what are they looking for they can't see the road yeah they have a thing here that says in california lights cannot exceed 2513 lumens whatever that equals right but then people are like how do i skirt this and get between 5000 and 6000 like you're kidding me yeah like what what are they doing why do you need that like maybe maybe if you live out in like the wilderness but you don't live in the wilderness if you live out in, like, the wilderness,
Starting point is 00:48:25 but you don't live in the wilderness, because you're using this shit, like, in the city. Like, what? There's already lights all around. It's like when you see those videos of dudes with high-intensity flashlights, where when they focus it, it goes, like, 12 miles down the road.
Starting point is 00:48:41 And it's like, bro, you do not need that, ever. Yeah. What do you... You are not in a bro, you do not need that ever. Yeah. What do you, you are not in a situation you will ever need that. Yeah. I, I hate it. It's,
Starting point is 00:48:53 it's probably my biggest like pet peeve right now. Well, you know what? I don't hate. Yes. Butcher box. Whoa. Butcher box is the best way to get tasty,

It's been pretty bad all the time, but now it's getting real bad because we're almost halfway through December and it's picking up bad all the time but now it's getting real bad because we're uh almost halfway through december and it's picking up holiday stuff people are driving around they're coughing they're sneezing they're blinding you with their headlights they're uh trying to get wherever they're going and then uh two weeks from now we got ourselves holidays so gonna get even
Starting point is 00:54:01 crazier out there so uh watch out. Thank you. You know what? It just hit me just now. Yeah. We are 20 days away from the end of the year. Yep. I will say, though, unlike the last few years, this year felt like it went on forever for me. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:54:20 In fact, I'd say for me, it was like a normal year. It wasn't too long. It wasn't too short. I was like, yeah, it's been about a year. This year felt long for me. And like a, like just a, it was a long year. And usually the last couple of years have flown by, but I think again, COVID and stuff. Oh yeah.
Starting point is 00:54:36 But I can't say I had a lot of like solid core memories. You know what I mean? Like I had a bunch of fun stuff happen, also you were to say Jesse what were you doing in February 2023 I could give you an answer but it would probably be what I was doing in February 2018 you know what I mean like I don't quite remember you know thinking about I think the first half of this year I can like barely it was like it feels like a long time ago that's what I'm saying the year feels long it feels like February was 10 years ago. But to me, the summer actually went faster.
Starting point is 00:55:08 So I think I have like a tale of two halves. Yeah, I don't know what that would be. I couldn't explain it, but I totally agree too. It feels like for me, the beginning of the year felt like it was 10 years ago. The summer just
Starting point is 00:55:23 flew by, and then since October, it felt like it was 10 years ago. The summer just flew by. And then since October, it's felt like a day. Time is like, if you were to say, Jesse, what were you doing in October? I probably the same thing I was doing last week. I don't know.
Starting point is 00:55:36 I couldn't tell you. Yeah, no, that's how I feel too. I agree. It was a wacky year. What a wacky year. 2023 is what a wacky year. What a wacky year. 2023 is what a wacky year.
Starting point is 00:55:47 What a wacky year. So crazy. That's the traffic. All right. Let's go to weather. Weather time. We have a weather request for Yak, Montana. Just like Y-A-K?
Starting point is 00:56:03 Y-A-A-K. Well, of course. Also, this place is an unincorporated community and census-designated place in Lincoln County, Montana, so I'm sure this will be great. Yep, they said, we drove through there on a road trip a few years ago.
Starting point is 00:56:19 Tiny little place, middle of nowhere, and they have a spot called the Dirty Shame Saloon with bras hanging from the ceiling. Apparently, every summer, they throw a crayfish party and ship in I get it. I mean, local lake is pretty much all this is. It sure is. There is. If you drive through here, I would normally be like, oh, damn, there's so many cool places to look at. There is Yak School. Yak School Temporary Closed, Overdale Lodge, Yak River Outfitters, and then three buildings.
Starting point is 00:56:57 The Yak River Mercantile Tavern, the Dirty Shame Saloon, and Coffee Shack with two A's. Oh, yeah, because it's like Yak, so they did two A's on the shack. I get it. And if you're trying to figure out what kind of coffee is there or how that is, the only photos they have on the internet are one of the building, which looks like a shack, and then one of a dog standing next to the building. That's it. Yep.
Starting point is 00:57:20 That's it. That's all you need to know. That's all you need to know. If you go in there, there's going to be a dog, and that's it. That's all you need to know. That's all you got. If you go in there, there's going to be a dog, and that's it. Well, currently in Yak, Montana. I'm going to let Woppy do it. Woppy activated. Currently, Yak, Montana, 32 degrees Fahrenheit.

Starting point is 00:58:33 E, E, E, E, E, E, E, E, E, E, E, E. He sounds fine. He sounds okay. Yeah, he's fine. I'm trying. I was for a minute confused because the Dirty Shame Saloon is across the street from another bar? The only two things here are two bars and then one's, I guess, a convenience store. But I suppose there's a lot of live bands that play here, but I don't know where people come from to watch these bands.
Starting point is 00:59:01 I don't know. Maybe from various parts of Montana. I guess. You know, I don't know maybe from various parts of Montana I guess I don't know I do know that the Dirty Shame Saloon while they have the boils and what not if you scroll down far enough first off there's a dude at a rock concert if you scroll down far enough in this video
Starting point is 00:59:24 there's the dirty shame saloon and there's like a band playing and the viewership is one confused old man at a table one guy throwing up the horns by himself yeah two girls dancing with each other and then a woman and her baby that's the audience which i love But directly under that is what appears to be the greasiest, dirtiest burger and fries I've ever seen. And I'm not going to lie. I'd eat the hell out of that. Oh, yeah. I see that.
Starting point is 00:59:54 That does look good. Yeah, dude. That looks delicious. That looks like a burger your uncle made on the grill, and he left it on a little too long, so he covered it cheese just to hide it and then he's like yeah i made these potatoes but like i didn't clean them or nothing yeah i'd eat the hell out of that but also if you scroll down far enough you can see the lady behind the bar kind of looks like every midwestern lady who works at a bar who's like over 40 just like i don't know what i'm doing anymore. Here comes Frank again. They got Sasquatch warnings.
Starting point is 01:00:27 Oh, yeah. I see that. This is great. I love this. I will say, I don't know that you or I could roll into here. No. I don't think so. Unless you're Sasquatch. There's also photos of families standing in in the mountains and it looks beautiful.
Starting point is 01:00:45 But then like cut to a bunch of people who just definitely have the same vibe of like, there's only one man who can take back our country. Save us all from terrorism. Sasquatch. Sasquatch. Some say he'll arrive on the fifth day of the fourth year. Sasquatch is the only one who can help us. Yes, that's the weather. That's the weather.
Starting point is 01:01:15 All right, let's go to sports. Sports. We got sports today, I'll tell you that much. We have football, football, football scores. We had the Eagles and Cowboys playing tonight. They haven't played yet as of right now. We had the Buccaneers beat the Falcons. Bears beat the Lions.
Starting point is 01:01:36 Bengals beat the Colts. Browns beat the Jaguars. Saints beat the Panthers. Jets beat the Texans. Ravens beat the Rams. Vikings beat the Raiders 3-0 in a boring game. 49ers beat the Seahawks. Bills beat the Texans. Ravens beat the Rams. Vikings beat the Raiders 3-0 in a boring game. 49ers beat the Seahawks. Bills beat the Chiefs.
Starting point is 01:01:49 And the Broncos beat the Chargers. And on Thursday, the Patriots beat the Steelers. Wowee. Then we had hockey standings where Boston first place, Florida right behind them in the Atlantic. And you got the Rangers in first with the Flyers right behind them. The Avalanche in first with the Stars behind them. And then the Golden Knights in first with the Canucks and the Kings right behind them. In basketball, the Lakers won the in-season tournament.
Starting point is 01:02:19 Cool. Doesn't really mean anything unless you're on the team. And then I guess the players win some money, which is like this. The bench players mainly care because they're not making that much. But LeBron James, I doubt, really cares that he gets more money. Yeah. The Timberwolves are still in first and the Thunder in second. Mavericks, Nuggets and Lakers all tied in third.
Starting point is 01:02:45 And you got the Celtics in first and the East with the Magic and the Bucks right behind them, and then the 76ers, Pacers, and Cavaliers. And that is sports. Oh, wait, also, I forgot to mention the big baseball news, which is super insane baseball player Shohei Otani signed with the Dodgers for 10 years for $700 million. Hey, I can go see those. So that's pretty cool. You could.
Starting point is 01:03:14 He actually was on the Angels still in LA, but he left them to go to the Dodgers because the Dodgers actually are a better team. I mean, that's true. And they gave him $700 million. So, that's sports. Okay. What's our fact of the day?
Starting point is 01:03:33 Fact of the day. The sun makes a sound, but we can't hear it. Oh, I bet it's like, Oh, it's got to be. I'm the sun, bitch.
Starting point is 01:03:50 Yeah, that's definitely what it is. Uh, it says in the form of pressure waves, the sun does make a sound. The wavelength of the pressure waves from the sun is measured in hundreds of miles. However, meaning they are far beyond the range of human
Starting point is 01:04:06 hearing so that's that's definitely gotta be like well i mean yeah i mean like that's i thought it was gonna be something else no it's it's pressure waves but i guess you know it's like any wave because there's gotta be some sort of sound thing but yeah i just feel like it's hot there so it's probably like bubbling up right i don't know i don't know science i mean the more i do this show the more obvious that becomes yeah i feel like if anyone tuned in this to hear us talk about scientific fact they're on the wrong show they should be listening to anyone else besides us i don't know why it took you this long you You said, the more I do this show. I think we knew this like 10 years ago. There's no science here.
Starting point is 01:04:51 And that's your fact of the day. All right. What's our big news story of the day? Big news story of the day. Day. Day. Day. Hey. So, big news story of the day here is that a shocking video shows Disneyland Streaker going naked on It's a Small World.
Starting point is 01:05:16 I have seen this, and I'm not sure why. And I don't know that... I feel like that's probably not something I should admit publicly, but I've seen this. Was I there? Am I the streaker? I don't know. Yeah. It's possible. Seen it. I lived it. A man at Disneyland was arrested Sunday after he allegedly went skinny dipping in the waters of
Starting point is 01:05:35 the iconic It's a Small World attraction. Which, if there's anything I learned, it's probably like the Simpsons, where now he's like, I'd take 20 drugs or something to fix him. If he drank the water, dude. Yeah, I feel like that's the end of this, dude, where now he's like, I'd take 20 drugs or something to fix him. If he drank the water, dude. Yeah, I feel like that's the end of this, dude. Yeah, that's the end.
Starting point is 01:05:55 Shocking videos on social media showing a man strolling around the attraction wearing just underwear and glasses. There's a pile of clothes sitting on the ground. In another clip, the man is seen taking a seat next to singing animatronic dolls as music played. That's the one I've seen. Yep. To the one I've seen. Yep. To the faux Taj Mahal. Stop, stop, you're gonna get hurt. Stop, stop, I need you to stop. Please just sit down.
Starting point is 01:06:12 One cast member yells at the man as he roams around the dolls in a clip shared by somebody on Instagram. Another Instagram user wrote that the man pushed the boat behind them while they were on the ride. Dude, how many drugs was this guy on already? He had to be something.
Starting point is 01:06:34 We were stuck on the ride for about an hour and 15 minutes. But how did he get the drugs if he's at Disney? Did he bring them in? Oh, he probably took them before he went in. That's what I'm saying. He took them before and then he went to him. I mean, that's on him, though. That's what I'm saying. He took him before and then he went to him. I mean, like, that's on him, though. That's what I'm saying.
Starting point is 01:06:47 It's on him. Yeah. Yeah. We were stuck on the ride for an hour and 15 minutes. Thankfully, we are safe and we got off safely. A different set of not safe for word clip shows the man completely naked jumping into the water on the boat ride before he's carried away by security. Idiot in front of all these kids, one person tells the man as he's dragged out of Disneyland. Other theme park guests booed and yelled moron at the man
Starting point is 01:07:12 as he stood in the nude near the ride. They made that man stand there? You would think they'd have some sort of thing to cover him with. Yeah, you can't tell me they were like, get him off the ride. What do we do with him? I don't know. Leave him standing here for a minute.
Starting point is 01:07:28 Put him in the suit. They just bring out like some random Disney suit. It's like, put him in there. Yeah, if someone dies at Disney, they disappear you instantly. Yeah, 100%. They're telling me they were just like, what do we do with this guy? I don't know. Let him sit around naked for a little bit.
Starting point is 01:07:41 Yeah, let him just like vaporize him. Bring out the ghost of Walt Disney. Vaporize him. Get some clothes on. Someone yelled his children hurt in the background. Anaheim police arrested a 26-year-old man on suspicion of indecent exposure and being under the influence of a controlled substance. And they were taken to the hospital as precaution. being under the influence of a controlled substance and they were taken to the hospital
Starting point is 01:08:03 as precaution. Officials with Theme Park told that the man got off the ride while it was operating and employees brought the attraction to a stop while they were made aware of the situation. A streaking incident which occurred Sunday afternoon led to a shutdown of It's a Small World for an hour. That's pretty good. It was only an hour.
Starting point is 01:08:20 They got that thing up and going again. Should have been longer. It's a Small World? They should have been like, shut it down indefinitely. Yeah. And Disneyland was trending following the incident. So that's it. Some dude took drugs and then streaked around Disneyland. And now he's going to jail, probably.
Starting point is 01:08:38 Yep, that sounds correct. Disney jail is a real thing. Because there are no police at Disneyland. No. It's straight up like you go to Disney jail's a real thing. Because there are no police at Disneyland. No. It's straight up like you go to Disney jail. That's like Mickey Mouse comes out. It's probably on par with like the Russian prison. You know?

Let's see how you like working in the nude, you son of a bitch. You're going to be making my merchandise for quite some time. Let's see how you like working in the nude, you son of a bitch.
