Starting point is 00:00:00 Hello, I'm Brian the host of guys a podcast about guys I wanted to let people know that I have a PO box now, which is PO box One zero seven six nine Columbus, Ohio Four three two. Oh one it is on the notes for this episode Plus we wanted you to come to the patreon. Patreon.com slash MurderXBrian. That's where you'll find our streams and our weekly Guys Plus, which is a catch up on some of the guys we've already covered. So thank you for listening to this. Now here comes your heavy metal. Welcome to guys, a podcast about guys. I'm your host, Brian, with me is South Park fan, Chris James.
Starting point is 00:01:03 Well, that's I mean, I get like now that's an insult, I guess, because South Park has become kind of like not good. But before that would have been that would have been a good thing. Like when I was growing up, I was a South Park fan. We're going to have some conversation about South Park fans here in a little bit. But as the guest this week, we have Carter Sellinger. What's up, dude? Nothing.
Starting point is 00:01:31 So yeah, and Carter's here with this is kind of, this is different. I think this is a first, but we did it on guys plus only on guys plus. Oh, it was on guys plus. Yeah. On Walker. We did it where, where Tom was at my apartment because he was in town. So this is the first time that we are, do you want to do a little, there you go. We slapped hands together there. So this is the first time that we are doing to do a little. There you go. We slapped hands together there. So this is very exciting for me.
Starting point is 00:01:48 You know, I'm not I'm not set up for two people yet, which we want me to do. So why don't you come on? But I mean, you know, hey, you've only been you know, you have only been doing this podcast thing for what, 20 years or whatever. I mean, you'll get you'll get the setup eventually at some point. I'm the only person in the house that podcasts and nobody lives in Columbus, Ohio. So it's interesting because yeah, and you do say that, but we have and the listeners, they often I talk to them all the time in the discord. As you know, I'm sort of a man of the
Starting point is 00:02:19 people and there's a lot of talk of, Hey, we'd love to get on your daughter or your wife as a guest. But the excuse you always have is I don't have a second microphone. So it seems like it does kind of benefit you a little bit. A little bit. I mean, I can't even imagine bringing my daughter on here. She wants to come on, though. So we'll definitely do it. You know, she's very funny and she also knows things about me that I don't put out on the air. And she's also like, she's an adult as well. Yeah, she's 20. Yeah. So you're not bringing
Starting point is 00:02:52 on like your child, like, you know, you're not like some of those YouTube channels with their family, not exploiting your child for your content, you know. So we're doing Seth MacFarlane, guys. guys now a few of you got out there got off easy I'm gonna say this because Nobody cares about American dad and I got Contacted by a lot of people that are like American dads the best show. I don't even know One that's my favorite one out of all the Seth MacFarlane shows. It always was American dad I loved the the alien, how he would always
Starting point is 00:03:27 be like different characters and he'd be like interacting with himself. And there was always these weird kind of storylines. That was always my favorite. Carter, were you a, have you liked any of the MacFarlane verse? In my, as a young man, a family guy, I thought was very funny. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. But what did you like? A.D.? Did you like any American dad? What about
Starting point is 00:03:53 his or the or the orville? Now we're getting into it. What's the what's the one he did with the Wild West? The movie that he made? A Million Ways of Dying West. Oh, yeah. He has made some really and then he also, he's done some different things because he had a sketch show Ted Ted. Well, Brian knows all about it. I watched, I'll tell you this and I'll tell this to the people and you can listen to it on the Patreon. I watched Ted a half hour at a time with a different person. So if the first half hour, it's me and somebody talking about it. And then I stopped watching. I do the second half hour.
Starting point is 00:04:31 It's me and a different guest talking about it. I did it. I did the I got the ending of it. I was lost. I had forgotten what had happened. I forgot I was totally lost. It was a weird journey. But I have seen Ted only in like the weirdest
Starting point is 00:04:47 possible way you could ever watch it. And question for both of you. Have you seen the new Ted TV series? I'm thinking about watching it. And here's the problem. Here's the thing with it. I'm thinking about watching it because number one, people are like, Brian, you need to watch the Ted TV series. Yeah. Well, you did a whole series on it. But I'm trying to do a thing where everything I do doesn't mean I have to be an expert in that thing. You know what I mean? I don't want to be an expert on Ted. That means I
Starting point is 00:05:20 have to watch every Ted thing that comes out. Okay. Then Brian, you have another option. You can go to hedonism. No, I'll be an expert in things that I want to do. So I have watched the put the thumb away, please. Carter, you see that that's his magic. That's my phone. Yeah. Oh, it's beautiful. No, don't.
Starting point is 00:05:38 No, don't don't don't egg him on. I love it. No, explain. No, no, no, no, no. Can I see it again? No, love it. No, explain it. It's so nice. No, no, no, no. Can I see it again? No, don't. No. Don't be honest about it.
Starting point is 00:05:49 I'm not going to tell you how I do it. It's very involved. I watched the new Ted. I just watched an episode a couple of days ago. I'm not even joking. And I also, in preparation for this show, I haven't watched Family Guy in a long time, but I watched like the second newest episode, the newest ones are Christmas one. And it felt weird watching it now. But I watched the second newest one, I watched
Starting point is 00:06:13 it with Ariel. And it made me laugh a couple of times. I will say like actual genuine laughs. It also a number of times made me go, Oh, I kind of like Seth McFarland after doing the research for this. Like, and we'll find a lot of people that like them too much. You know what I mean? Like I just said, I kind of like Seth McFarland. Yeah. These people like him a lot.
Starting point is 00:06:38 Like they would never say kind of for sure. I went to the family got the Seth MacFarlane verse message board. What is that? Where do you mean? Where does that, where does somebody find that? It's Seth MacFarlane verse.com. Oh God. So somebody has made a whole website. What else is on the website? Is it just a forum or is there like, it's a forum. It's just a forum where people can come on and actually they don't have the Orville on there, which is kind of a let down. They have a, that's so rough for the Orville. It's considered so bad that it's not even, it's actually,
Starting point is 00:07:15 I will say it's actually considered good. If you go to the rotten tomatoes, the Orville actually is very highly rated. Can I say this? No, no, no. It is. Can I say this? No. Can I say this as someone who's a bit I'm a Rotten Tomatoes expert. I believe that I really believe that I know as much about Rotten Tomatoes as anybody on this earth. For one, television, Rotten Tomatoes television scores are very inflated. They're always high almost. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:07:46 What do you mean? I'm sorry. No, let me read these for you. Okay. Season one of the Orville got a 31%. Well, that's terrible. That's that. That's, that's actually, that's actually the worst score for a television series I've ever, cause they're all like, even the bad ones are like 57%. Nope. this is this one. But then season two of the Orville, a hundred percent. What happened between those two seasons? It got better. They fixed it. No, no, no, no. That can't account for a 70 69 point or what that can't account for that. There's something else is happening here. How many is that for a critic score or audience score critic and season three new horizons 100%. So is there any explanation for that? Cause that like that seems ridiculous. Do
Starting point is 00:08:37 you know what? Oh, well the season three one I'll throw out because it's only got 13 reviews. Okay. Let's look at season two's reviews number here. Cause that's important. Oh, 15 reviews. Um, and season one had, let's see season one, because if season one has that team number of reviews, then you know, we kind of figured it out. Okay. Season one has 55 reviews and it's 31%. But well, here's what happened. Let me explain to you what happened. Okay, is that a number of critics reviewed it the first year. A number of them found it to be so bad and distasteful that they thought I will simply never watch that show ever
Starting point is 00:09:19 again. And they just didn't review it the second season or the third season. And the only people who stuck around and watched it were the diehard Seth MacFarlane fans who gave it a high score. That would be my guess. Well, it's kind of 93% audience score with 5000 ratings. So I want to be clear on that. And listen, I'm not going to get too bogged down in these rotten tomatoes. But I will say this as well. I am the one conspiracy I am 100% on is that the studios, the executives, the they have figured out a way to game the system on the audience score. Now, look at audience. What do you mean? No. Why do you keep saying that you don't have any knowledge on I have a knowledge about it. know let me give you a knowledge Chris you
Starting point is 00:10:08 watch everything yeah so like you and when you watch it if somebody says I think that was shit you'll be like oh fuck you know you know mad you start kicking the ground and like don't know what do you mean yeah don, I don't. What are you talking? That's how you do. So you have to understand that most people, when they turn on a show, they're going to like it. You know, that's why the audience scores are so high. Yeah, no, I'm just telling you, see, I mean, listen, you do a lot. It sounds like you're going off vibes, whereas I'm going off of like real evidence here. So you can take the audience scores from, you know, five years ago and compare
Starting point is 00:10:49 them to the audience scores of today. And you will see that there is a huge disparity there and it's not through television shows have gotten better or people have gotten happier. It's people happier. Are you happier? Are you happy? Like, are you happier now than you were five years ago? Oh, five years ago. What were you up to? Oh my God. You were watching the Orville?
Starting point is 00:11:14 I was deep in Orville. I was braiding everything on Rotten Tomatoes, just loving the shit out of everything I watch. So that doesn't mean I don't. I appreciate you taking my side there. Yeah. And listen, can you... I love TV. Yeah, man.
Starting point is 00:11:33 Me too. I do too. I'm relaxing. But if you... I know. I like anything. But Brian, you should understand as well as I do with the rating system. If you're just... If they're all getting inflated, then you can't count on the rating system anymore. Then it becomes meaningless. Then you're looking at 100% on Orville and you're just, if they're all getting inflated, then you can't count on the rating system anymore. Then it becomes meaningless. Then you're looking at a hundred percent on Orville and you're thinking it's a
Starting point is 00:11:48 good show and you're checking it out and it's the worst show you ever see. I do kind of agree that sometimes they are inflated. Like for, for example, I was on around tomatoes. This was a while ago, but, uh, that's cool. Thank you. Thank you guys. Um, but I was looking at Master of None. 100%. Yeah, that's see, that's why I'm flawless. It's a good show. I never watched it. I, I, I without flaw. Yeah. Is it a perfect show? It's not perfect. Yeah. That's what I'm saying. But when, when you have Master of None as a 100, like 100% is the highest. That means you can't get better than master of none. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:12:28 Let me look, I just went somewhere else that we like to hang out. That's Google. Oh yeah. Oh, yeah. Out of five out of five, the Orville has 4.7. Again, Google, Google ratings are even, they should be believed even less than rotten tomatoes. So inflated. A man of the people like me and come in the discord and say that when I'm literally talking to the audience and you're nowhere
Starting point is 00:12:58 to be found. Me and Seth MacFarlane are like kind of the same. We're like a man of the people people like what we do. You're a fancy boy and it's okay. I like that. You're saying Seth MacFarlane is a man of the people. I'm a fancy boy. I mean, he is like a he's like a singing dancing. You know, he's a dandy basically. Why don't we read this review real quick from Reddit or
Starting point is 00:13:21 television. I watched the first season of the Orville and about to watch the first R watched the first season about to watch the first season. When I first saw in a bad way, but I found to it. Any sci fi fans ou think of it? I love sci fi the Orville that way or l fluff piece to quench my
Starting point is 00:13:44 I watched the new Star Trek series. Please give me your reasoning on why you like or dislike the show. That sounds like a pretty good review. That's a simple person. I love that. That's a very simple. That guy actually sounds kind of nice and I would not mind having a conversation with him. It was really sweet. But yeah, I mean, listen, he's basically saying, listen, I watched a show, it is absolute garbage. It's a piece of shit. But I'm like love sci fi so much that I'm like, Oh, I guess I'll throw it on. You know? Yeah, I I'll let you have that Chris that I'm just letting you have I will not put up
Starting point is 00:14:22 with this rotten tomato. You're not an expert on rotten tomatoes. I am the, I am the foremost expert on rotten tomatoes. I, critic scores, fancy boy. I understand the audience. I understand both of them and I would, I would debate anybody on the merits of rotten tomatoes. I would do a YouTube debate with anybody destiny. You want to debate me, bring it on family guy discussion. Here's an idea for a cutaway. I quink go off the family guy message board.
Starting point is 00:14:51 Wait, wait, wait, wait. This is my face. So this is the writing their own cutaways. Yeah, this is what we really love when they really get like the South Park guys did it as well. They start to sort of do their own sort of ideas. And this is where it gets really, I like when they start asking questions of them, we'll get to some of that. Like, what do you think that does? What's not on TV? Who where who lives in this house after it's been sold? Like they start asking those questions bogged down in the details. So this guy, he just says, I would like to see Wiley Coyote go home from work and greet his wife and cubs, then go into his trophy room where the walls are covered with road runner heads.
Starting point is 00:15:35 That is funny. So the best part about it is that like, see, normally you're like writing fan fiction for a show. Do you know what I mean? Like where it's like, I would like to see this character doing this, but because of course, Family Guy has all these cutaways see, normally you're like for a show. Do you know w it's like, I would like t doing this. But because o guy has all these cutaways This is just people like, of comedy sketch that I t think I would like to see
Starting point is 00:15:57 nothing to do with the ca guy. So this is why you'r really good ideas here. G great idea for a cutaway. In fact, on Seth McFarlane's cavalcade of cartoon comedy, there was a segment where Wile E Coyote finally gets the road run. Oh, so, and by the way, that wasn't what I was forgetting because I did watch that one.
Starting point is 00:16:18 I don't even know what that is. It was a show that only went for one season and it was just cutaways. Oh Jesus. I like cutaways. It was just like, yeah, it was a comedy. I like to cutaways. I'm a cutaway guy. Yeah, I don't mind it either. And I like that show. I laughed at it. It was again, it's it's that type of humor where they're taking big swings, I feel like, and when they miss, it's fucking brutal.
Starting point is 00:16:41 Like it is brutal. There's some of their bits that are just awful and they're really hard to watch. But some of them are pretty funny, I think. And that's why it tends to happen with that type of type of humor. But yeah, that's a good cutaway idea. And by the way, just the one of the things you said, Wiley Coyote, they had one of those on that's cool too. Not not related to what you said, but they did have a thing on the cavalcade. You know, that sounds great. The cavalcade of cartoon comedy. I will never watch that.
Starting point is 00:17:14 Hey, this guy has a question. He says, does quagmire like to hate Brian? After they fight at the end of the episode cat fight and became enemies again on fecal matters for some reason about Brian's identity crisis as a cat, what does quagmire want from Brian? Yeah, well, quagmire is a I mean, quagmire is a noted sexual predator. Yeah. Is he a pedophile? No, that's the Herbert.
Starting point is 00:17:42 That's Herbert. Sorry. So he's the he is a he is like he is a sexual predator. Quagmire. So I don't know that I can get in the mind of somebody like that. You know, I think that probably the things that drive quagmire, it would be difficult for people to really sort of figure out, you know, well, Kirk Pikachu 2001 says maybe the writers just want Brian to have an enemy brian can't be liked by everyone ah yeah i mean we all love brian so they're in the mind of the
Starting point is 00:18:14 the first part of it you're like yeah maybe that's like a smart ass answer that's just because the writers want it that's why but then in the end he's like not everybody can like brian we all love brian we all love, but everybody can't love him. Now, word has it in in the early episodes of season 20, a family guy that quagmire admits he hates all dogs. Does he plan to kill Brian as it murder him into a corpse and a future for final episodes with narrative storyline, a family guy or fake killing Brian and some reenacting
Starting point is 00:18:45 movies or parodying shenanigans. So this guy was wondering if quagmire might kill Brian. Well, Brian did die. Yeah. I made a lot of people pretty mad. Yeah. And then he just came back, right? They brought him back because everyone was mad about it. They killed him off. That was kind of an interesting thing. I think. Like, it's an interesting thing to do. Like, I don't know that I've seen it before, like a major cartoon character being killed off like that. It's pretty ballsy to do that. And then not ballsy at all to immediately go back on it and bring it back. I watched an episode. No, you go. You go for it. I just watched an episode about Brian and and or no, it wasn't about Brian. But then he was wasn't in the episode at all. And then at one point, Peter turned to the camera, breaking the fourth wall and said,
Starting point is 00:19:40 I bet you didn't miss Brian in this episode. And so they're like, taking a dig at the fans. Like you didn't even know he was gone in this episode. You love him so much. Yeah. You don't even fucking care. Do you really love him? You know, kind of like giving it to the audience. And I was like, shit, I didn't notice Brian was missing. So he, they were saying, not you. Peter leveled me. Yeah. And I was like, oh, shit. I think it was Peter. I don't know.
Starting point is 00:20:11 Yeah, whatever. They all look the same to me on that show. And they all sort of sound the same because it's like in Seth MacFarlane doing all the voice. How about this question? If Glenn Quagmire hates dogs so much, why doesn't he kick a puppy in public if he is that much of a tough man? Yeah. Good point. Yeah. He doesn't kick the dog ever. But then we do get a reply to that. What kind of a thing is that to say? Like, like, are they trying to do like edgy humor there? Because it's like family guys. So they're trying to be
Starting point is 00:20:38 like, why doesn't he kick a puppy? Like, I don't understand. I do have to say that this guy's name is I hate quagmire 666. Oh, my. You should lead with that. Important information to know is worse than something like next guy replies and says, maybe quagmire has the notion that the dog will bite him. Yes, of course. He might when you that's oftentimes when I'm out and I'm thinking about fucking punting a dog. I'm like, well, what if it turns around quickly and gets a bite? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:21:12 Wait, that seems like something Craig may I would do. Yeah. Or he wouldn't do. He's a coward. Yeah. Why do you trade? Why do Trey Parker and Matt Stone hate Seth MacFarlane? Now, I think that's all based on a really old episode of because we talked about this on the South Park episode a little bit. The Prophet Muhammad. No, the the manatees where they had like, Oh, was that the Prophet Muhammad? Yeah. Okay. Yeah. I just room is manatees where they, Oh, was that the Prophet Muhammad? Yeah. Okay. Yeah. I, I just writer's room is manatees. Yeah. They're going to was manatees and they're just passing balls back and forth. I don't know. It was a really, at the time to me as a child at the time, you know, I was like a teenager or whatever I think. And I was like, Holy fuck, like these,
Starting point is 00:22:00 they fucking eviscerated family guy, his family guy even going to fuck them. They're done. And meanwhile, now family guy's still going like 14 years later and really didn't really Well, me and you have one of the things that me and you definitely have in common is that like one of the reasons you like listening to Opie and Anthony is because it's the only place where you heard comics talk shit about other comics. Like most of the time you'd be watching like, you know, Jay Leno, they just come on there and talk and everybody's nice and nobody wants to say anything mean
Starting point is 00:22:31 about everybody. And it just is always fun to see people take shots at each other. Yeah, yeah, totally. So this guy goes, JNC 8999 says, What's the point of this feud? Why did they rip on Family Guy for when is that post from 2016? Okay, but so that's a little bit more reason later, but it is way later because that that episode is from a lot before then. It's not from 2024. I was really going to be like, what the fuck? Yeah, listen, I, I'm not really sure. I think that, I think that the, that they really like the Simpsons South Park, like Trey Park and
Starting point is 00:23:13 Trey Parker, Matt Stone really liked the Simpsons. I don't know. I don't know. I get, I think most likely because they just, they don't, they didn't really have a lot of respect for that style of comedy writing, I would say. You know what I mean? They just found it to be lazy or whatever, which I don't even agree with. You know what I mean? It's a different style, but yeah, it is easier to write jokes when you can just do a cutaway and you don't have to have it within the context of a show. But it's like, what's wrong with that? And then we just get to laugh a bunch of times. That's why I'm watching a comedy, a comedy show, you know?
Starting point is 00:23:46 I don't have a problem with it. I honestly think it's easy to write jokes. And this is gonna sound so bad coming on this show where we do it all the time, where you just can be like turd, come, shit, fart. You know what I mean? Like that's also not that hard to get people to laugh. You know what I mean?
Starting point is 00:24:03 When you're watching like the South Park stuff and people like, they're very intellectual. You're like, fucking it's all common shit. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. But they're sort of skewering like some of this, some of the episodes are like actually at this point, they're just as accurate today in today's landscape and they, it's incredible to see it's like, holy shit. Did they have some sort of, and the Simpsons as well. Have you noticed that they all just predict stuff from the future? Yes. Yes. I do wonder if it has something to do with like, uh, Trey Parker and
Starting point is 00:24:36 Matt, so I'm being like kind of priding themselves on like counter culture, like against the mainstream Hollywood. Yeah. Seth MacFarlane against the mainstream Hollywood. Yeah. And Seth MacFarlane is pretty mainstream. Yeah. And he like hosted the Oscars and stuff. Yeah. And those guys went to the Oscars on freaking us. And they were wearing dresses. And they were wearing dresses.
Starting point is 00:24:59 Nowadays, it's like that wouldn't be a big deal because Harry Styles is like wore one true thing. And it's like nobody even fucking cares about that anymore, really. But at the time, it was like a big deal that they were on acid and their addresses at the Oscars. And that was kind of like sort of spitting in the face of the man. Yeah, safe to say. And Seth MacFarlane in many ways is the man that is true. This guy replies and says, agree with you here.
Starting point is 00:25:22 I never understood that either. My guess is South Park is one of those shows that has to rip on everything Nothing is sacred. That's kind of true as well That's actually kind of true as well that they're like their whole thing is ripping on something that's happening in the world at that time And so when Family Guy became really big and popular it made sense that they were gonna rip on them Like they rip on all the other stuff. Yeah He goes perhaps Trey and Matt think Seth shows are Simpsons ripoffs and they think Family Guy is immature and is inferior to their show.
Starting point is 00:25:51 South Park should have left Family Guy alone. Trey and Matt had no reason to degrade Seth like that. I like when they talk about it like that. Like it's their friends, you know what I mean? Like Trey and Matt and Seth, you know, like, yeah they're gossiping just about they're like friends in high school. That does agree with you to Parker and Stone are pretentious dickheads who rip on Seth, who, in my opinion, is much more talented. Well, yeah, you're on his board.
Starting point is 00:26:19 Yeah. And then he comes back and he goes beside South Park fans or dicks toward Family Guy fans. I think they spend more time criticizing family guy than they do watching South Park. Um, no, I don't know about that. I think it only takes about 30 minutes to watch episode of South Park. So even if you have a full time job and some other responsibilities, I think you can do that as well as spend a lot of time criticizing family guy. Yeah. Cleve boy, the admin says, I don't think they hate Seth, just family guy. They make fun of everything and they hate family guys. So they just stopped making an episode dissing family guy would be a good idea. I suppose.
Starting point is 00:26:55 Well, family guys kind of Seth though. Yeah. What I mean, you're kind of splitting airs there. If you're saying, oh, they don't hate Seth, they just say family guy. It's kind of like his, his baby. I hate his show. Yeah. And it's like, yo, fuck you. You oh, they don't hate Seth. They just say family guy. It's kind of like his his baby show. Yeah. And it's like, yo, fuck you. You know, I don't like somebody hates my show. He goes, what annoys me more is how how that caused all Southport fam. Southport again. Oh, second time flub.
Starting point is 00:27:18 Wait, you've you've done Southport before. I did on the South Park guys episode. Oh, Lord. We got a we got a flub echo. We got a double flubble. We got a double flubble, folks. This has never happened before. We're on 274. No, it has. It has. Wash up. It sounds like a nasty kind of reference to a penis a little bit. Oh, it is my South Park. And it wouldn't surprise me. A little bit. I don't know if you know about Brian and all his sort of endeavors. Oh yeah yeah he's in the he's into the do you know the lifestyle like the lifestyle? No I mean you don't need to worry about it. Oh yes well I'd love to hear.
Starting point is 00:28:01 Yeah I don't have anything. He doesn't like to talk. No, I don't do it. Oh, OK. Never been in any sort of an orgy or anything. Wait a second. Hang on a second. That's not entirely true. It's 100 percent. Oh, right. You a number of parties that turned into orgies. And just to be clear, as somebody commented and I think this is quite appropriate. If you go to one party,
Starting point is 00:28:25 if you go to a party once and it turns into an orgy, then you went to a party. If you go again to that same party, then you're going to an orgy, my friend. I don't care what time you leave. If you're aware of what's going to happen, then you are attending the early portions of an orgy. Yeah, I couldn't just- He could just go to a party that would turn into an orgy with his friend who claimed he was starting a pornography store but in reality it was a creep who just had a lot of porno and had to explain to everyone.
Starting point is 00:28:50 Oh wow. So anyways, that's it. People, we don't need to, we don't need to talk about that. Because they're not the nicest people to disagree with. One time I got into an argument with a South Park fan just for commenting family guy was doing better than South Park on a YouTube video. The biggest bullies on the internet. Oh, I feel bad for the I do kind of it does sort of I feel like in the hierarchy of like trolls or whatever that like the South Park trolls would be like they'd be harder. You know, they might be like because they turned it a lot of them turned into like, really scary, like right wing guys that I deal with. And a lot
Starting point is 00:29:30 of them like doing a lot of that South Park humor, you know, and I feel like there's it's a nastier group versus Yeah, the family guys would be not that same level of edge lord, you know, they would be sort of a to use a vanilla version of it kind of Oh, shut up. This is a cloudy day says I like South Park but hate its fans. What's hilarious about them is they don't even understand the episodes that make fun of their own dumb views. But yes, Matt and Trey
Starting point is 00:29:56 are a couple of nasty hypocrites, albeit ones that can write Book of Mormon was hilarious. Book of Mormon. That's the only Broadway play I've ever seen. I saw it on Broadway and it was very, very same. Really? Yes. Right. Yeah. You ever been to a Broadway show, right? I would never go to a Broadway show.
Starting point is 00:30:20 Why is that? Because you're not allowed to wear a baseball cap. Well, that's probably part of it, but also the singing You don't like singing at all like I like musicals. I like singing I like listening. I'm a big fan of music, you know it was like musical. You know what I mean? Like whatever, however they sound like, that's not how the jukebox, they call those jukebox music books. But for more. Yeah. For corn, like would you go to a corn jukebox musical where it was like a story? You wouldn't. I don't want to see people talking and then all of a
Starting point is 00:31:01 sudden singing. That's what I don't like. Even if they all of a sudden they start singing and it's like one of them is like the monkey or whatever that guy's name is. Monkey James Schaefer guitar player for corn. His name is monkey. Listen, if they did a new metal, yeah, uh, like show up Broadway, but I wouldn't want it to be like rock of ages where like the guy starts talking and then he's all of a sudden like, you know, what I mean? Like, I don't know.
Starting point is 00:31:30 Yeah, that's what it is. How would you want it to be? They would just play different songs by Coral. You're describing a music concert. I'd be great. Now that I like. No, I've never been to a musical. I'm never going to a musical. It just into a few actually, because I bet they do touring ones in Vancouver. I've been I went to waitress I saw waitress the musical. And then one other one that I can't remember now but I like going to musical. It's fun. I was tempted once to go see American idiot
Starting point is 00:32:03 by Green Day. Yeah, that's that's up here. That's kind of up your alley. Is it would your is there any chance like would your wife want to go to one? Is it some? Oh, probably. She's never said anything. But I told her, you know, if you and Glenn want to go to one, you fucking go buy the tickets. You know what I mean? I'm not. Oh, I see.
Starting point is 00:32:18 So you just told you just like before she even mentioned it, you're like, I'm not ever going to one of these. If you do want to go, you can go with our daughter. Blends the same way. She won't go either. That makes sense. Because she's nervous. There's a nervousness to it where it's like the people that would generally be on the screen are able to see you. And you're going to feel, because when somebody starts singing, I'm like, ah. But you're so far away. You just don't get tickets that are close. You know what I mean? Like you sit far enough away that you're not going to like catch eyes with one of the performers or whatever.
Starting point is 00:32:53 What do you guys think about this plan? Honestly, Seth should have continued the feud because looking back on cartoon wars, the family guy writers were manatees because they're cowards. And Seth is the biggest coward for missing the perfect opportunity to take on South Park. If I was one of the Family Guy writers and if some show brutally degraded my show, I would play to win to destroy them in you, mainly to the point of being completely irredeemable. So that this person is a psycho. That is like a full psycho guy who is just like, you know, like, you fucking you fuck with me fuck with anybody from my family. I come back
Starting point is 00:33:33 tenfold. My family I kill your fucking whole family, buddy. I love how you read into the like, sim symbolism behind the walrus to. He's like a famously cowardly animal. I was like, are they that cowardly? I mean, the manatees are known cowards. They're famously cowards. The other day I was like seeing this manatee. I was just fucking kicking him over and over again. He didn't do a thing about it. Yeah, they don't care. That's true though. He should, they should have just stopped focusing on making their content
Starting point is 00:34:08 altogether and just sort of dove right into this fucking meaningless war with this other super popular show with another cartoon. Cloudy Day says you underestimate Matt Stone and Trey Barker. But he's got shooters, man. They got shooters. This is like Actually fucking hilarious These guys talk about it like these are organized crime figures or something now, you know, he goes They're not gonna let themselves be destroyed
Starting point is 00:34:40 If you ask me it makes Seth MacFarlane look classy to not retaliate. Most people can see Stone and Parker for the loudmouth hypocrites they are. So no worries. I say higher ground. They took the old, you know, turn the other cheek. Yeah, I think that the reality of it was that they they got hammered pretty hard with that. And I think that they're they didn't really wasn't really anything that they could say in response what did you say anyway? Coach Park was like at that point was like beloved and just everybody you know like what were you gonna say about it? Yeah well let's rock some tunes everybody. Whoa whoa whoa what is this? What do you what do you got up here? Check out some tunes we're gonna listen to a little bit of a jam and we're gonna read some comments on the YouTube video Well, either you're closing your eyes to a situation you do not wish to acknowledge or you are not aware of the caliber of disaster
Starting point is 00:35:35 Indicated by the presence of a pool table in your community Well, you got trouble my friends right here. I say trouble right here in River City. Why sure? I'm a pool player certainly mighty proud to say I'm always mighty proud to say i don't like this so this is Seth McFarland singing you got trouble is you got trouble doing a one-man musical i think that there's gonna be like you know the music will come in with them and maybe some dancers or something i'm hoping b. Well let's check it. I consider it the hours I spend with a Q in my hand are golden. Help you cultivate horse sense and a cool head and a keen eye.
Starting point is 00:36:13 You never take a try to give an ironclad leave to yourself from the free rail billiard shots. But just as I say it takes judgment, brains, and maturity to score at a block line game. I say that any boon can take and shove a ball in a pocket. Isn't this bad? I don't like it. I know I don't like it. And I know we don't like it. But like, isn't it bad? Like, isn't he doing a bad job? Like, maybe I don't understand. But like, it doesn't seem to me like he's like his flow is not good. Do you know what I mean? Like, I've heard this song saying I've seen this in person, like the real version of this, you know, and it just doesn't seem to me like he's doing a good job. I could be wrong if you're maybe some people know musicals better than like, no, no, you're way off. Chris Zachary says, uh, this is his true calling. He looks so damn happy
Starting point is 00:37:00 when he's singing these old songs. His cartoons are gold, but it's singing is diamond. Oh, sweet. What a sweetie. That is really sweet. I mean, I don't even want to make fun of that. I will. Because it's it's it's really, really insane to say that like, you know, like he's because he's not that good at saying, you know, there's better people. He's like pretty good. He's got a pretty good voice, but to say it's his calling over his like extremely famous and popular television show that is like the lexicon of our, you know, like his true calling is this, you know, it being a middling fucking musical thing. There's something I love about the vulnerability of that comment. Oh, it's just like his cartoons are gold, but his singing is diamond. Yeah, it's really sweet.
Starting point is 00:37:50 It really is. You're not going to hear that from South Park fans. That's for sure. Oh, no. This person says he's great. I, too, would be happy to work up there singing with that orchestra and chorus. Because I got all of his albums on my phone. He's such an amazing singer. He has albums. He has a bunch of albums. We're gonna read some reviews of a couple of his albums. But yeah,
Starting point is 00:38:18 he has albums. I did not know he has albums. Does he sing old like musical like standards and stuff? Does this kind of thing about horse race, not a wholesome trotting race, no, but a race where they sit down. If I went to a show to see this and like he did this, I would have left within the first minute of the show. I wouldn't start yelling like I would, I would be like, do the trouble part. Trouble part. You know what I mean? It rhymes with
Starting point is 00:39:01 pool and if he ends up peeing, it rhymes with pool like say that part, he lived, if he lived back in the forties, fifties and sixties, he would have been part of the rat pack. Just imagine like he's the coolest dude. He would be like part of the coolest group of fucking people. You know, like, I don't know, this is this is very cool sort of like fan fiction of his life you know like just like imagining like how fucking cool his life could have been if he was born at a different time well this guy goes uh matt goes to the man who said quote mcfarland as a hack strong voice but zero talent to back it up a strong voice is talent
Starting point is 00:39:44 it may not be everything you need, but it's something. I also find it funny that you posted a comment about his strong voice on a video where he strictly displays his spoken word skills. Oh, and I added in that comma for you so people can fully understand your idiocy. Oh shit. Okay. I don't really truly understand what that means, but. OK. Oh, I don't really truly understand. But got it. It cut deep, though, like throwing in some punctuation to highlight your idiocy for everybody.
Starting point is 00:40:17 This person says Seth Heck and McFarland, he needs to drop Family Guy for a little. Holy crap, this is so great. I need to see him on Broadway. Holy moly Seth heckin McFarlane I've never encountered Somebody who I don't think I've ever heard that it maybe this person is doing a joke, but I've only heard that in a way like this guy's a heckin you know,
Starting point is 00:40:52 I've only heard it like people making fun of I've never heard someone actually using so you think that was sarcastic? I think it was not. No, I do. Yeah, that's sincere to me. Yeah, just because no, I don't think it was necessarily sarcastic. I just I've only heard that used in a sarcastic way. It's interesting to hear someone in earnest saying second McFarland. Yeah, that's great. This guy goes, it continues to astonish me
Starting point is 00:41:16 how this man is so intelligent and talented and then see the thinking devoid fart jokes gross out bullshit products he pumps out. But how is this show that he's intelligent? He didn't write Yeah, one second. This is how it shows he's intelligent. Right on the horse. Like to see some stuck up jocky boy sitting on Dan patch. Make your blood boil. What I should say. Now friends, let me tell you what I mean. You got 123, two, three, four, five, six pockets in a table. Pockets that mark the difference.
Starting point is 00:41:47 I can't believe people buy tickets to see this. Trouble part. How long have you been talking? We only want to hear the trouble part. Let's see if we can get to the trouble part soon. We're a minute 18 in a four minute video. Ladies and gentlemen, and a bum with a capital B and that rhymes with P and that stands for pool.
Starting point is 00:42:04 Here we go. And all we call on you River City youth will be frittering away. I say your young men will be frittering frittering away. That's something that threw me off because that is in the chorus of it, that line, but it's not the chorus. That's not the trouble part, but it does say we got, we got trouble with a capital T and that rhymes with P and that stands for pool. That's how it goes. So get to that fucking part. Kid vermin says family guys at $2 billion TV show. If you ask me fart jokes was the smartest thing this guy has done.
Starting point is 00:42:32 Well, yeah, that's true. I don't know where he got the numbers from. Like, I don't know how you can quantify a television show that way. Yeah. If you throw in merch and like, yeah, where did he like, did he like crunch numbers? But yeah, he's right though that, you know, the fart jokes have done very, very well for Seth MacFarlane. Calamiles2566 says, you do forget that Seth MacFarlane is currently helping Neil deGrasse Tyson write the show Cosmos, which wouldn't have even made its return unless Seth had helped revitalize it. So if you think he's a fucking blowhard anyways, and all he does is now is like, he's like,
Starting point is 00:43:14 oh, he goes online and he's like, oh, this fucking famous quote or this famous children's song. Here's why it's not accurate as per the fucking constellations of, you know, he's just, he's just raining on everyone's parade. Plus my friend, Mike, friend of the show, DB, who's been on many times he got in a lot of trouble because he saw when he lived in New York, he saw Neil DeGrasse Tyson reading a book on the subway and he posted a photo and he said, look at this fucking nerd reading on the subway and he got a lot of trouble from people online over that so i hate the other guys that's really funny here's some more too never mind getting dandelions pulled with a screen door patched to
Starting point is 00:43:56 the beefsteak pounded never mind pumping any water till your parents are caught with a sister and empty on a saturday night and that's trouble oh you got lots and lots of trouble i'm thinking of the kids in the nigger blocker shirt. You know, young ones. Well, that sounded like a word. I don't like that on this show. He got a messy flub that line because you really got a care. It's like as hard as you say, like hard or you just maybe. Yeah, maybe just just kind of don't say it.
Starting point is 00:44:26 Here's our last comment on this. He goes, he's a good businessman. A good businessman knows what the masses want, and the masses just so happen to be asses. Ooh, that's kind of deep. The asses. The masses happen to be asses. Here's one from our family guy, Seth appreciation post.
Starting point is 00:44:46 And he just posted a picture of him. And this guy goes, he's me. If I have talent and ambition and can make comedy, I say that because I get every single joke this guy has ever made and everything he's ever done. And he's living the exact life, doing the exact things I would be doing if I could choose a life. He's like my bro-. Hey, that's not bad. You know, bro plus soulmate. Okay, I'll see myself out.
Starting point is 00:45:13 So true Stan. And can we can we get it? Maybe I think maybe somebody needs to pass on his information to the authorities. I believe that is somebody who could be a danger. He wrote that from the bushes around Seth McFarlane's house. Yeah, that's like a review, like a parking lot review, Brian. But like, yeah, that's like a driveway fucking post. That is that really like this guy is me. First off, most people get his jokes. I know they're not really hard to get.
Starting point is 00:45:43 Like, are you saying you find them funny? Like yeah yeah I guess like you relate to them or whatever. Like I know there are comedians like that where you're like holy shit like this person seems to like see the world in the same way as me you know like that can happen. I don't know Seth MacFarlane though it's weird because he seems to be writing for the masses. Oh, my God. Yeah. Time. It doesn't seem to me like he really has that like defined worldview that comes through in his work. So to say like, I totally get all this.
Starting point is 00:46:17 Yeah, you and everyone else like everyone else fucking relates in the same way as you to this guy. Not like it's some cult class. Yeah, totally. It's on prime time. I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm again, you and like a million, hundreds million other people. There's a lot of people that wish they could make a TV show and say whatever that music was. Yeah. Just like sing any time they want, like do any project they want, have as much money as they want. Yeah. Like, man, you know what? I'm a little different. This would, this would actually appeal to me quite a bit He's my bro mate
Starting point is 00:47:10 Yeah I believe that person could be a danger to set make my life if he ever like got a chance to be close to him I think he might you know the old saying like cut his face off and try to wear I was thinking something. Yeah. Skin related skin related. Yeah. Wild Montag says square jaw, stiff collar, a brave heart, pumping thick red blood through the strong American veins. Are we on the are we on the same? This is a patient thread and this is a different guy. Oh, OK. So this is about Seth MacFarlane.
Starting point is 00:47:42 That would have been a wild comment on the Broadway video A brave heart pumping red blood through strong American veins a daydream of minus to sing in a set with him and Scott Grimes going under the name Destiny's bastard. I appreciate this appreciation post. We love you, Seth. Wait, wait, who's Scott Grimes? I have no fucking idea. I'm Brian and Destiny. Is that is that a reference to Destiny's Child? I think what it was the name again. Scott Grimes. No, no, no, no.
Starting point is 00:48:17 The Destiny's Bastard. Yeah, I guess Destiny's Child, Destiny's Bastard. It must be right. Yeah. Scott Grimes is an American actor and singer. Oh, he's he's he's one of the people who does like the voices in Ted like he works with with that he's like a great hand man yes he's Steve yeah he's a voice actor who does a lot of the voices for like Family Guy and all that stuff this is a question asked on our slash green text, which is a Seth McFarland stupid has said not sure a tear singing voice uses it to make a poop joke. So again, this is common theme. It is a common
Starting point is 00:48:57 theme. It does seem odd. Like he is irrefutably successful in entertainment. He has succeeded in entertainment, whether you like him or not. He has succeeded in entertainment whether you like him or not He has succeeded pretty much as well as you can succeed. So I think He made the right choice. I think well, let's career. Let's see what the fans have to say Gatsu morph of moosh. Nosh knee. I can't say the guy's name. There are a lot of people in general who can sing Well, so there's a lot of people in general who can sing well. So there's a lot of competition in that. It's much beneficial for him to continue
Starting point is 00:49:29 as adult TV series with edgy jokes with a hint of high effort content now and then that gets free promotion via memes known worldwide. Is this AI? Is this a new pose? I don't think so. Is it a new pose? It's from nine days ago.
Starting point is 00:49:44 This honestly might've been written by AI. I'm not even sure who does it. This sounds like chat GBT or whatever. It's free promotion via meme. That sounds like something a guy would say. Yeah, you're right. It's like, you just lost my traffic guy. Like, it's the exact same thing to me.
Starting point is 00:50:03 It goes, uh, no worldwide, and which has been just successful enough to keep on air since 1999 continuously. Now that a certain image of family guy has been established. So despite the episodes these days being very generic and predictable, they're still airing. So it's basically like a damn good continuous source of income and fame with minimal effort for him. Yeah, that's that's really if that person is not if that's not AI, then that person has a very robotic way of speaking. Here's an interesting person who says he chose the lucrative path instead of choosing the
Starting point is 00:50:35 unusable path stem versus gender studies. So that person's like a science person or whatever. As I'm like they're they're like saying like in terms of like academia, it would mean this is I don't know. Yeah. Yeah. Well, I do kind of agree in the sense like so many people are just like, what a voice, why cartoons like I mean, Broadway, he's not gonna be making millions. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:51:02 He's doing this stuff because he genuinely does love it and he's kind of renowned enough to get the chance to do it. Yeah. And also if he has this great voice, like, you know what cartoons need? A voice. Yeah. And he's an amazing voice actor. Yeah, he's a great voice actor. It's like he has to pick a lane. And he incorporates singing into that show. He puts a lot of singing. That's like he has to pick a lane. And he incorporates singing into that show.
Starting point is 00:51:26 He puts a lot of singing into it, where he sings. Musical, or that's like the on the road ones are always like musical. Heavily, yeah, like he injects it all the time. So he's found this like area now where he can do his singing, put it out to a large audience. Now he's become so big that he's got these albums and stuff that sell that never would have otherwise probably. Yeah. It's really wild to have any
Starting point is 00:51:50 like you can to be giving a career advice to say, Hey, you should rethink how you did your career. Seth McFarland always breaking down the finances. Yeah. It seems to be really a huge thing on the internet. If you put in someone's name, it's like Net Worth, Autofills every time. Everyone wants to know how much people have. This guy goes, has Sinatra to your singing voice? Nobody listens to Sinatra. Everybody watches cartoons, decides to make cartoons instead, becomes rich, still gets to sing when Brian feels like singing. Thank you. Yeah, that's exactly what we're saying. Yeah. And not to mention he has several, Thank you. Yeah, that's exactly what we're saying. Yeah. And not to mention he has several,
Starting point is 00:52:30 several Sinatra like albums with non joke songs and he's even won Grammys. So he's still doing both and getting his own TNG. I don't know what that is. How is that not winning life to the fullest? So stronger 1088 replies and goes according to a few random sources on the first page of Google, both they both have a net worth of around $300 million. This is Seth and Frank Sinatra. Seth currently 300 million Sinatra around 200 million at the time of his death, adjusted for inflation around 300 million. Yeah, if you adjust inflation,
Starting point is 00:52:59 I mean, listen, it was pretty close between old Frankie blue eyes and Seth, but I think Seth edged him in the end. If you're looking at it, you know, he's got a lot. He's got the rental property, the real estate and everything like that. And TNG is the they're talking about the Orville. So they're talking. That's the next generation at Star Trek. Oh, okay. People listen to Sinatra, but they barely listen to anyone like them. Michael Buble is like him and he's had to become the Christmas music guy to stay relevant. Stab state of affairs. Michael Buble is very
Starting point is 00:53:30 successful as well. He's more famous like as somebody who he's Canadian, right? Yeah. Yeah. So in Canada, definitely like he's like he's in so many, he's like the spokesperson for all these things. He's his albums do crazy. Well, he wins Grammys all the time. I mean, he's like the spokesperson for all these things. His albums do crazy well. He wins Grammys all the time. I mean, he's one of the more famous people in Canada. I see him as kind of a loser when I'm looking at Seth McFarlane, you know, who was a very successful man. Here's a question on the Family Guy subreddit.
Starting point is 00:53:59 If Seth McFarlane was canceled tomorrow and fired, would Family Guy continue? Ooh, that's a great question because course, that there's some precedent for that because it did happen with Rick and Pickle Rick and Morty. Mm hmm. Yeah, because, yeah, the really horrible guy, Justin, whatever his name is, just oil and yeah, he got I was didn't they kept doing it, I think. Right. I don't know what happened with that, but I know that that was I don't I think oh no, actually they just replaced his his voice
Starting point is 00:54:29 Was that the deal? Yeah, cuz I don't think he was like writing it and I don't think I think it would be no problem That it would be No, I think there there's so much in the like it could be written easily It could be written my damn manatees passing freaking balls across the dam It could be written by damn manatees passing freaking balls across the dam. But so I think the writing of it because their jokes are so built in now and like this stuff is like the type of humor is so that anyone could do it. And I think probably Seth MacFarlane has nothing to do with writing the episodes anymore. So yeah, and then someone would be able to do the voice as well, because it's like so
Starting point is 00:55:01 famous now that people could do a good impression of it. So I think they could do it no problem. I think honestly the audience would not notice. I know. Yeah. And a lot of the fans have said that he hasn't written on Family Guy since at least 2009. Like when he started doing those movies, it's kind of he stopped writing. He just does the voices.
Starting point is 00:55:19 Yeah. Um, no championship says the question is not asking whether Fox would or wouldn't fire McFarlane if anything unfavorable came up. It's whether or not production would continue. I personally don't think it would. He just voices too many characters more than Royland did on his show. Uh, yeah. We, Hey, we're, Hey, Hey poster. We were just actually mentioning.
Starting point is 00:55:42 Right. Peter, Brian, Stewie, quagmire, and a slew of recurring characters and background voices. I really doubt any impersonator is going to be taken seriously by fans. Okay. Definitely. I can almost fucking do it. I know there are a million voice actors out there that can do these voice. And I hate to tell you, but nowadays, you know, if you really want him to do it, you can just I could make his literal voice using a. That's true.
Starting point is 00:56:15 With the use what the deuce with the deuce. I'm going to kill Lois, my mother. Hey, I'm even great. Yours is good.'s this good. Here's this good. The only reason I can kind of do one and I know it's not good, though, is because we had a family guy night on the go off Kings where we were all like there was Marge Simpson impressions and I was where I worked on my family guy impression, my Peter impression for a long time.
Starting point is 00:56:41 I'm Peter. Hi, hello. Hi, hello. Hi, hello. You can do it. Let's can only say hey, Lois. The ratings would absolutely tank and Fox will lose so much money. It's not even funny. They would lose my traffic. That's something that people one of our favorite comments Brian mentioned it earlier, but somebody they couldn't say because they don't pay money for something, you know, but they try to like complain about it like, guess what? You just lost my trap. It's
Starting point is 00:57:12 I love it. It wouldn't be a good investment for them. Let's also not shy away from the fact the family guy is really starting to run its course. It has to end sometime. And if that's what it takes, so be it. I mean, that part I don't like, cause that would mean that like South Lake farther would have to do something cancelable. And he's like, that's a small price to pay for my show. That would be fucking pretty bad ass though. Like it would suck. Like obviously I would hope that
Starting point is 00:57:39 there wouldn't be any victims that were harmed or anything. But if Seth MacFarlane, you know, if he got like canceled for like a really serious stuff, I mean, that would be pretty wild. This guy goes theoretically, I'm sure they can find imitators for all its characters, except Brian. Brian is his own voice. You can't fake his Brian. So the only options then would be wait a second. What logic there? What do you mean? People do impressions of real people. No, you can't. You can't do impressions of a guy.
Starting point is 00:58:08 You can't. Sorry. I'd love to see you do an impression of a guy that's alive. Yeah, I mean, I'm trying to think of one now. I can't even think of one. Yeah, you can't. He goes. So the only options then would be to kill Brian for real or have his throat get injured. And then when he speaks again, it's a different voice, but I doubt very few people would be okay with that and keep watching. So that's
Starting point is 00:58:34 the other matter. Oh, I see. You could, you could have them. Yeah, you could put a voice box on or whatever. You could have them, you know, like have some sort of thing happen where he has to speak with like a, yeah, like a robotic thing or whatever. I'm thinking about this alternate reality where family guys canceled and they're going to these lengths to like Brian has a messed up scratchy voice. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Throat injury. Yeah, totally. Just to explain it from the quagmire, perhaps. Oh, maybe quagmire kicks him right in his damn throat and then moves. All of a sudden he's like, I talk so different now. It is funny to imagine like a network head
Starting point is 00:59:15 pounding on a table and saying, get me a new Brian. Does South MacFarlane have any uncancelled brothers? What's everyone's thought on quagmire loving a lowest? Personally, I think he could treat her better than Peter. What? He's a predator. He's a pervert. Have you guys thought about this?
Starting point is 00:59:43 Lois is a serial cheater and there's no denying that. But how many times has Peter cheated on Lois? Wait, when did she did? Am I supposed to know that? I think that's a new thing because he goes, there's only two times I can truly think of Bill Clinton, the showgirl when he supposedly got her pregnant. Those are the two times. And and the two times Peter's cheated. But then we get an explanation because these
Starting point is 01:00:06 times don't really count to me. One, eating out Babs. He was hypnotized. He was hypnotized when he ate El Barbara Walters. Yeah. Two, he was sleeping with men. He got injected with the gay gene. Oh yeah. When he got the gay gene and he was gay, that doesn't count. He had sex with Bill Clinton. Yeahinton yeah and then becoming poly he lost his memory so and then they go i can't count how many times lois has cheated baby 12 really i think she's a cheater yeah because this guy goes at least probably a lot more and okay this guy goes at least probably a lot more than that off screen. Oh, that's so funny. Yeah, I have an animated show. How many times she's fucking sleeping around when you're not watching
Starting point is 01:01:00 their cameras when they're not on the whole world just keeps going. Yeah, I know. That is the thing. Like sometimes it does really feel like there are fans of these shows who feel like the world keeps going when TV's not on. Oh, that's so fun. Yeah, that's really good. I mean, at times she's doing it. That's somebody who's like, because they make up. Listen, I'm not saying I'm not saying I've seen any of it. I'm not going to say I've seen any of it, but I will say I'm aware that there is a lot of pornography that is made with lowest. So I think that that's kind of goes along with that. They're imagining her having
Starting point is 01:01:42 sex all the time. We should check out some of those guys on the comments on those. I find that time. Usually looking you went looking at my look. You know what I was going to do? You know what I was going to do on this episode was what I did on the MCU episode and find erotic fiction, but it was too disturbing. It was too disturbing.
Starting point is 01:02:07 Cause people get really horny for Lois. I do know that. Well, it was also like, yeah, everyone goes full quiet. Well, I feel, I felt like a little weirded out by like all the Peter fucks Meg things, which was a lot of that. Oh my god. I didn't know that. But I guess they you know, there's I think that's a big thing in pornography nowadays. So it's not that surprising. I guess that's that is that is really surprising to me.
Starting point is 01:02:39 Yeah, cartoons, even though they're cartoons and everything. And they're not real. And I know we're making fun of people for thinking they're real there's still A something really wrong about that. I don't like it. No, here's my Amazon reviews of Seth MacFarlane blue skies LP Says you got to see this album cover. I'm gonna put this up. So he's just he's just making albums I had no idea he did this look look at this cover. Oh My god albums. I had no idea he did this. Look at this cover. Oh my god. Is he, is he have whiskey? Yeah. He's imbibing. He's imbibing. We did whiskey guys and we learned that you imbibe whiskey. I wonder if that's, it probably might be Pappy as well. That's the top whiskey. Oh, he loves Pappy. Yeah. I'm sorry. Yeah. And so for anyone who's you guys, if you didn't go
Starting point is 01:03:27 look at it, he's sitting there on a chair. It's Oh, you're gonna make it the cover. I'm gonna make it the cover. Yeah. People listen to it on the podcast app and or just whatever they don't. Some people may not have looked at it. It's just him sitting on a chair holding a glass kind of smirking at the camera. It has Sinatra thing. Yeah, it's very Sinatra-ish. Yeah. Scott says, one star. Poor song choices. He has a wonderful voice, but the songs, again,
Starting point is 01:03:53 on this album are very poor. Please someone help him choose good songs to sing. Yeah, like maybe Shapoopy, Shapoopy, Shapoopy. No wonder you're on my soundboard. I can't play it because you won't show up on here, but I literally have that on my soundboard. I can't play it because it won't show up on here, but I literally have that on my soundboard. I play it sometimes on my podcast and stream. That's his stuff. Okay. And now I'm not going to explain to Carter, Michael Nolan. I'm just not going
Starting point is 01:04:18 to- Oh, Chris. He recently made a video called, which one of these rock guys lost me subscribers He's a classic rock guy who's obsessed with the rock and roll Hall of Fame We talk about him quite a bit on the bonus episodes That was him saying I think he was trying to say a different thing the whole enchilada the whole enchilada But he said that's his whole to start a month But he said that's his whole tostada man. That is kind of me. We like to see my Stephen A.
Starting point is 01:04:48 Blasso says smooth five stars. Not sure what to say other than I'm joining the hell out of this. Here with your favorite bourbon. Cheers. Oh, here it was your favorite bourbon. Just sitting there with your little fucking tumbler glass and by being on some fucking bourbon while you listen to Seth McFarlane fucking swing out is like the most like that is just such an embarrassing scene in my head. I know because it's like you could be listening to, you know,
Starting point is 01:05:27 somebody doing standards like Sinatra or fucking whatever. I think Dean Martin might have done songs, too. I don't know. I don't like that rap. They all did. They all did. Yeah. Yeah. I hated that shit. I once got I was in Las Vegas. I was fucking miserable, by the way. We're doing a live show, sold
Starting point is 01:05:45 eight tickets, eight sold. And this is when we were selling like three to 500 in like New York and places like that and sell eight tickets. Can I, I don't want to, I know we've gone a bit long here. We're over an hour already. Well, some of us have stuff to do, but But but can we hear a little bit more about this time when you went to all the way to Las Vegas and you only sold eight tickets to the show? I love stories like this, personally, when I'm not involved in them. So we did show in Las Vegas and this was Street Fighter, right? Right. And it was also like the weekend of double or nothing. And we had been on tour. So it wasn't the hugest deal that we didn't sell well in Vegas. I don't think we would
Starting point is 01:06:33 have ever done well there. But you were on a full tour, meaning that like, it's not like you went there and just lost the shirt off your back because in general, yeah, we had done Denver and Albuquerque and were you flying or were you driving? We flew to Denver. We drove to Albuquerque, then Phoenix, then Vegas. Okay, so you were doing those before and what type of a venue was it? Was it a bar? A dive bar is literally called the dive bar. But we had performed in a lot of like rock clubs and shit like that. That's like kind of what we did. We didn't really do comedy clubs. And so I was like, fuck it, it'll probably be fine. And then the day of the show, we were getting ready. And he was just like,
Starting point is 01:07:16 eight sold, we sold eight. And I was like, this is fucking crazy. So we went to the place and we did an hour with about eight people standing there, but there were these two guys standing off to the side that actually paid to get in. But we're standing off to the side having a conversation and they had me so distracted because I could hear every word that they were fucking talking about. But again, this was all just to be in Vegas for double or nothing. So for a wrestling show, it was all just to be there so we could see a wrestling show.
Starting point is 01:07:47 I see. So it was really okay. But but did you know I don't want to make you relive this but like when you were on stage where you were humiliated. Oh my god was I ever and I'm smoking at least we were allowed to smoke on stage. So that felt kind of cool because I'd never been able to smoke on stage. So I'm standing up there smoking. We get the show. People really, the people that came really liked it, but at the very beginning of the show we're standing there and I say something about how I think the rat packs sucks. No, just like earlier today. I think they suck. Yeah. I don't like them. I don't like the aesthetic. I hate the whole thing. And a fucking guy in the back of the club that was playing fucking poker on one of those machine goes, get out of Vegas.
Starting point is 01:08:32 Yeah, that's Vegas. That's their town. That's the town they built. I hate that. I don't mind Vegas. I hate that aesthetic. I hate that. Hey, that's why this Seth MacFarlane stuff will never land with me. I can't stand that shit. Like I've been to a few, I've done a few comedy shows. I'm sure Carter has as well, um, to very low amounts of people. And yeah, it people, I mentioned this a lot, a lot of comics will say, Oh, some of the best shows I ever had were to like fucking 10 people, you know, horseshit, absolutely lying to themselves. Absolutely. They're the better shows are the ones with the more people generally, you know, the best show I did. Well, there's like three of them, but there's one in, in New York,
Starting point is 01:09:28 obviously where we went out there and we sold out two in a row. Like that night, we, we were at this place. It's like a 300 seat venue. We sold it out like that and they were like, you guys want to do another one? And we were like, sure. Sold that one out and was like that. It was incredible. The energy was so fucking cool and then LA we went to LA and people were like yeah you're probably not going to sell many tickets in LA because people don't come out with stuff in LA and we sold out to there too and it was just like but
Starting point is 01:09:55 then you know there were still the shows it's like eight people I don't think there's any way to get around performing for eight people that That's going to happen. You just get a job at an office or whatever. No, no, no. If you're trying to do something like this, that's just going to happen. You have to deal with it at some points. It's interesting. It would be fun to do that live guys show, of course. But I don't think we will, Brian. I think we will. I don't think you understand just how difficult it is to make allowing me to fly up to Canada we can do come to Canada. No problem. We can do one.
Starting point is 01:10:33 Yeah. Alan says another great CD from Seth McFarland. I so enjoy all of his CDs. The upbeat tempo of this music is a perfect balm for these times. So glad I got it. He's bomb. Like you talk. This is that's an old ass person. This is kind of like a nice salve for the times. Like, you don't use those terms anymore. I like how it seemed like this guy was eagerly anticipating the next release. Oh, well, Ryan says. Arlen's Blue Skies, five stars from Ryan. He goes, amazing album. Seth is an American treasure.
Starting point is 01:11:19 Can't wait for more albums in the future. He's in the golden age of music alive. I'll never tire of his voice. Seth MacFarlane has another album called great songs from stage and screen. I'd love to show you this album cover too real quick just because I think they're very funny. Here's great songs from stage and screen. He's in the movie theater. It looks like yeah, in a kind of like in a way. It's very that cover is like very artistic, very cinematic. Oh yeah. Tom Althauser says another winner
Starting point is 01:12:01 from Seth McFarlane. He's outdone himself again. Seth McFarlane. Oh, folks, he's outdone himself again. Seth McFarlane, oh God, now you're about to really... Seth McFarlane has done it again. No, it really says that. He has delivered a first-rate album of first-rate songs. His choice of material is top drawer. The tunes here were from Hollywood and Broadway are delivered with confidence and aplomb. Confidence.
Starting point is 01:12:29 Yeah, the Bruce brought the arrangements are astonishingly lovely. Hard to pick favorites as every song is terrific, though. I love you once in silence has a particular charm. So glad someone is still making albums like this one. Keep on singing Seth and I'll keep listening. By the way, lots of people are making albums like this one. Keep on singing Seth and I'll keep listening. By the way, lots of people are making albums like that. Super famous fucking celebrities that you're aware of. Well, all of our greatest loves. They also have haters. And Average Joe gave it one star. And he
Starting point is 01:13:03 said, stick to your disgusting vulgar TV shows, Seth. Your ego is much larger than your talent. And the title of it is Music Sung Poorly by an alt-left cultist. Oh, wow. That's a nasty one. Because just to be clear, I mean, Seth MacFarlane's like, I guess he's like progressive
Starting point is 01:13:25 in his politics, but it doesn't really shine through in his show that much. You know what I mean? He doesn't really seem to be like, I wouldn't definitely call him like a left cult leftist or whatever. I think he got into an argument with, uh, what's his name? Um, Bill Maher. I know no more. He knew too. And he knows that he it was about the vaccine. And apparently he just fucking oh he's pro vax. Yeah, he's pro vax. And I think he just fucking walked all over Bill Maher. So now Bill Maher has like done all this different stuff to, you know, make them look like a loony leftist and stuff like so I and like that happens all the time on Club Random. I'm gonna listen to them in Farley Club Random
Starting point is 01:14:14 Yeah, I did I did on it'll be a while when you guys when the listeners are listening to this you can go back But I I did an interview with the CEO named Bill Maher His name is Bill Maher, but he was the CEO, not the real Bill Maher. And I had him on a show called Club Random with guests. And I had an AI Bill Maher to like confront him. It was really, really fun. Here's our last. It's the worst show, by the way. It's the worst podcast. It's insane. It's bad. Here's our last from our family guy goes, what's your favorite show from Seth McFarlane? Family Guy, American Dad or the Cleveland show?
Starting point is 01:14:50 Oh, yeah, I forgot about the Cleveland show. I mean, I used to watch them all. I watched the Cleveland show at one point, definitely read a post with insanely problematic politics about how they how it's actually bad for the world to change Cleveland's voice actor to a black guy. Like it actually is racist to do that. So it does seem to kind. I always thought it was a little bit strange.
Starting point is 01:15:19 It is that that as well as like, I know there's like like on on King of the Hill, that that as well as like, I know there's like, like on, on King of the Hill, um, the, the neighbor con is voiced by a white person and doing an extreme Yeah, he's going Full Mickey Rooney or full. Yeah, he's got full Rooney mode on it. Rooney mode and Rooney mode engaged Cleveland has like a non-distinct like Cleveland's voice is something I don't even know what Cleveland's voice is. It's like he's kind of a nerd guy, you know? Yeah. Yeah. I think that, yeah, though I don't think there's anything wrong with that. I mean, I don't think there's anything wrong with if you have a black character
Starting point is 01:16:03 having a black person, you know, I think it's good person. I think there's anything wrong with if you have a black character having a black person Black person I think it's actually maybe even good because you could argue that some people would argue with me on this But you can argue that Us white folks have been, you know, maybe given a few more opportunities still to this day and it'd be nice, you know if when there is a I lose it harder. Harder. Harder. Carter start arguing actual character who is black. It's like, yeah, why not give that opportunity to a black voice actor who maybe hasn't been
Starting point is 01:16:34 given as many opportunities historically in the industry. I do have to say Carter. We did actually have a guy on that's a libertarian one. Oh, no way. Yeah, we had a wild libertarian on. He's the... We talk about this quite a bit. We love to... It's the co-host of the Bubba the Love Sponge show. Bubba the Love Sponge. Oh, okay. So we did Shocktober. We do a series where we talk about Shock Chocks.
Starting point is 01:17:02 And on the Bubba the Love Sponge episode, I decided to get on because I know them. Like I pranked his son or whatever. Anyways. Yeah, we got him on to talk about bubble loves sponge. And he decided, you know, it'd be cool thing to talk about to his libertarian. Do you want to plug anything and he's like libertarianism and it's not an idea. Well, his plug was libertarianism. And it's not an idea. I was in one. His blog was libertarianism. And it's not on the Patreon for this show where it would be almost as
Starting point is 01:17:29 you as my old show, which was a leftist like a school on leftist like things. So it was very fucking. It's one of my favorite things. Uh, this guy did it. It was, I was responsible for it. This guy goes, a lot of people will say American dad, whether that's recency bias or not. I don't care. I'm sticking with family guy. The gold names and family guy is the funniest cartoon of all time and it perfectly
Starting point is 01:17:53 encapsulates what the stupid part of my humor is. That also brings me the most joy. It's not the same as it was, but I'd rather mediocre family guy than no family guy at all. It's still enjoyable if you don't compare it to the earlier seasons or take it seriously, which by the way, I don't think you should take family guys seriously. You ever should have been. It's the only show I can finish. Take a week break, be lost on and what to watch embed and start from episode one again, all time favorite show and then find masterpiece 8401 says, I mean, I understand that I do understand that having a comfort show your
Starting point is 01:18:31 comfort show. Yeah, you go back to and you just have it on or whatever and you don't you know, you're not really paying attention. You're doing other things or whatever, but it makes you feel comfortable and you know the characters and stuff. I get that. Yeah, my wife does that with the new girl. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Family Guy and American Dad doesn't come close. Family Guy season one to seven to me was the funniest animated comedy of all time. Those apps are so rewatchable.
Starting point is 01:18:55 Family Guy is the king of nuanced humor. Yeah, there's some nuance. Yeah, I would argue with the nuance. You think they slap you in the face with it a bit? Yeah, maybe. There's just so many layers. Yeah, there's a lot of layers to it. There's like the cutaway and it's like, wait, so this is happening, but it's like happening
Starting point is 01:19:18 in the world and then they're imagining it? It's very interesting. Yeah, they took that from behind the scenes. That's behind the scenes footage. Yeah, that's like from a production standpoint, it's very difficult. Family Guy is the king of nuance to humor. You think the joke is done and they just add the extra layer that tickles your brain and makes you think what the fuck? Tumor. Nuance is not like not ending a joke. It tickles your brain. It tickles your brain.
Starting point is 01:19:51 Have you guys ever heard of something tickling like it really tickles your brain and makes you think what the fuck? How did they come up with this? No, no. Does that really say that? It does. It makes you think. WTF. How the fuck do they come up with this? I mean, yeah, I'll start it over I'll start over because this is like this is this is like what I imagine is going on at a dumb guy's head when he's
Starting point is 01:20:19 American dad doesn't come close Family Guy season 1 through 7 to me was the funniest animated comedy of all time. Those apps are so re watchable. Family Guy is the king of nuanced humor. You think the joke is done and then they just add the extra layer that tickles your brain and makes you think what the fuck? How'd they come up with this? People forget how great Family Guy is. It won't be fully appreciated until another decade or so, I believe. Oh yeah. Honestly, honestly, historically when they look back on this era, that's when like historians will truly appreciate when
Starting point is 01:20:51 that big chicken was fighting with Peter or whatever. That's what it really get it. When you're about to tell it to me. Uh, so that is Seth MacFarlane guys, incredibly fun people. Uh, we'll probably do a lot. So we'll probably do a lot on the streams. I think with, uh, Seth MacFarlane singing. Yeah, that they were, listen, I will say this, that from judging that, I think it's clear that they are harmless compared to South Park fast. So sweet here, hold on. Speaking in the pool, all the way to the school
Starting point is 01:21:27 and got trouble, folks, right here in the city. Over the capital T and that rhymes with P and that stands for pool. Now, he got there, he got there. Would you like to know what kind of conversation goes on while we're loafing around that hall? I hate this, oh fuck. Carter, tell people where to find you. I'm on Twitter at Carter Sellinger. Instagram is the same. I'm on TikTok. TikTok at pretzel hands.
Starting point is 01:21:59 Pretzel hands. Check it out. Carter's one of the I think he's one of the funniest guys here in Vancouver. One of my favorite people to watch. I love him. I think that he's gonna be a very at some point. He'll be somebody that you're like, oh, this guy on TV, this guy on the guys podcast. Trouble. You got trouble with a capital T and you got a P and that stands for poo Alright, we'll see you all next week with nicotine guys Now watch we we aren't able to record We'll see y'all next week.
