Starting point is 00:00:57 Welcome families, friends, second cousins. They're separate because I don't include them as family. I don't think anyone does, dude. Yeah. You know what? This is the sixth episode of the Super Mega Cast. Welcome, ladies and gentle man. We are tonight's entertainment.
Starting point is 00:01:15 Yes. Okay. So, I don't know why I want to start off with this, but I just want to start off with, have you ever read or heard of Sergeant Frog? Oh, yes, I absolutely have it's it's the manga sergeant frog i have read them and like back when i was i think in like middle school and i loved the shit out of them i think it's because of the little frog characters i don't know like kiroro uh jiroro and all them it's the like the thing about the like it's just the
Starting point is 00:01:41 drawings are super charming and i've never actually read uh any of them but i used to see them at barnes and noble and i'd be like oh i want to look through that and i would like skim through it and be like i want to draw something like this now i know you yourself are not don't say it are not a weeaboo oh good yeah you're not you're not you're not into like the culture in that sense you're actually into it because you're legitimately interested much like my cousin con is interested in German culture. I don't know. For some reason, why does Japanese culture have that stigma? Is it because they have such a big cultural impact in media?
Starting point is 00:02:13 I don't know. I don't know what it is about Japanese culture that tends to draw in a lot of questionable characters. Cringy. Like typical weeaboos. You know, it's perfectly fine to be into Japanese culture and, you know, to enjoy the music and watch anime. There's nothing wrong with watching anime. But, you know, there's a lot of people that take it a couple steps farther. I'd even say a lot of people take it more than a couple of steps, maybe a couple of leaps and then crawling on the ground. Now, weeaboo, is that like a term?
Starting point is 00:02:41 leaps and then crawling on the ground. Now, weeaboo, is that like a term? I don't know. For some reason, I kind of dodge around the word almost as if it were a racial slur. Weeaboo? No. I don't know why. I'm like, because it gets the same backlash.
Starting point is 00:03:01 If you call someone a weeaboo, it's almost like you get this backlash of just, what? No. No, no, no. Weeaboo is not, no, it's not like an offensive term term but people take it as that because it's looked at as a negative thing well it's not i i think it's like being a weeaboo just just means you're uncool like like do people go i'm a weeaboo yes i actually ryan i like people actually claim they're weird dude i see that on twitter all the fucking time i thought that was just something to me i thought that was a word to make fun of them. No, I don't actually know.
Starting point is 00:03:27 I'm not trying to pinpoint any people. I just thought that was a word that people just kind of came up with to – for some reason weeaboo. I just thought the root stem weeb for some reason was something. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know the etymology of the word, but what I do know is that a lot of people embrace the word, and it's used as well as an insult, but a lot of people embrace it. And for instance –
Starting point is 00:03:52 I've seen it more as an insult. Like I'm not saying I see it as more as an – I've just seen it used as more of – like I've seen it used as more of an insult than like a declaration of someone's character being positively. Absolutely. And Ryan and I are actually very good friends with a very big weeaboo. And the man's name is Aaron Hansen.
Starting point is 00:04:13 You may know him as Egoraptor from Newgrounds or the Game Grumps. And he himself, I have heard these words come out of his mouth. Or maybe I'm making this up and just accidentally. He's going to fucking slap a lawsuit on you for defamation of character, slander. I swear to God, I heard the words. They either came out of Aaron or Susie's mouth. I'm pretty sure Aaron, but he was like, oh, I'm totally a weeaboo. And there's no denying that Aaron's a weeaboo, and not in a bad way.
Starting point is 00:04:39 He uploaded pictures of himself with the swords. And like, first of all, that's not a negative thing. In fact, we had foam sword fights with Aaron at round one, an arcade. Oh my God. I wouldn't say it's a local arcade. It's a 45 minute drive. No, they're in Japan too, so.
Starting point is 00:04:55 Yeah. Well, I'm not talking about that. I'm not saying like it's close to where we live by local. Yeah, let's talk about our arcade trips with Aaron. Oh my God. It was so much fun.
Starting point is 00:05:06 I want to go more. They're busy people. They're busy people with a lot of work. And you and I are actually becoming even more busy than we expected when we started the channel. It is unfortunate that we had to only release one video a day while you're gone. Circumstances arose to where we became busy with our actual jobs, like our actual work that we – because SuperMega or Kids With Problems, they're not what – we've stated this before. They don't bring in money. Well, they bring in money, but they don't bring in enough to actually pay rent.
Starting point is 00:05:38 Like we can't live off of what we make of SuperMega, especially considering we split it 50-50. So basically like YouTube ad revenue, since we're not a big channel yet, we don't bring in that much, and then we have we split it 50 50 so basically like youtube ad revenue since we're not a big channel yet we don't bring in that much and then we have to split it in half but that's getting into some money bullshit back to round one it's not about one is if you guys don't know it's a fantastic place it is a bar a karaoke it's well it's a it's a karaoke bar uh-huh um it's a barn of itself. A snack arena. It's also an arcade and a bowling alley.
Starting point is 00:06:10 Ryan, what the fuck is a snack arena? I don't know. Fuck off, dude. You want to go to a snack arena tomorrow? Oh, come on. If someone asks you, let's go to a snack arena. I would be so down to go to a snack arena. You are one of the biggest fans of snacks.
Starting point is 00:06:25 You and I both. biggest fans of snacks. Oh, dude. You and I both. I mean, you can tell by my – We both snack. Like, here's the thing. With you, it's like you don't know you personally are into snacks unless you live with you or, like, you know. You've kind of met and got to, you know, hang around you for a bit. With me, you take a look at this guy, this Ryan here.
Starting point is 00:06:43 You look at him and go, boy, that's a snacker. That's a snack at this guy this ryan here you look at him and go boy that's a snacker that's a snacker if i've ever seen one well well ryan here's the difference between i don't i don't indulge like i don't gorge well well here's the thing we i think that we both snack about the exact same amount and in fact while we're recording this i'm letting my uncrustables thaw out from the freezer so when we're done i can devour them i have fucking teriyaki wings from from like buffalo wild that I'm just going to fucking heat up. I'm excited. There's only three, but it's just going to taste so good.
Starting point is 00:07:08 I'm about to go to the airport, and I'm about to snack the shit out of myself before I go. That is right. This is posted on Thursday, of course. It's the only video up today. You are, at this point, in South Carolina. We were recording this a week early. Yes. So what do you think you're doing right now?
Starting point is 00:07:29 Well, if it's Thursday... And if you haven't died in a plane crash on Friday the 13th, because my plane is flying out on Friday the 13th, and this is going to be very strange to listen to, Ryan, if I pass away in a plane crash. Not for you. Well, yes, because I'll be dead. But for you to listen to it, you'd be like, huh, that's interesting. Release it anyway.
Starting point is 00:07:42 Go ahead. But I think my sister'sding is the day after tomorrow. What a wonderful movie with Jake Gyllenhaal, by the way. Is that a movie called My Sister's Wedding? No, The Day After Tomorrow. I was about to say, like, now I know what to get my sister for her wedding. But I'm probably— Congratulations to your sister, by the way.
Starting point is 00:08:03 Thank you. Thank you. That means so much. But that wasn't like sarcasm. That sounded very douchey and arrogant. It's whatever. No, Ryan, I'm trying to – Whatever.
Starting point is 00:08:11 But I don't know. I'm probably sitting in my room masturbating. But honestly, like real quick – Me too, dude. We're probably both doing that. But going back to what I was saying about snacking, here's the difference between you and I, Ryan. Like I – you know, we have different body types. But the thing is like I think we snack about the exact same amount.
Starting point is 00:08:26 The only problem with me is I, I, I am, I am so thin that like I don't gain any weight and it never shows on the outside how, how much shit I eat. So I think I'm like, oh yeah, I'm perfect. Most people when they snack, you know, they're starting, they'll start to gain weight and they're like, oh, this means I'm unhealthy. I should stop. But for me, that doesn't happen. Do you think you're, it's ever going to catch up to you?
Starting point is 00:08:44 Oh yeah. Yeah. Once, once I'm like 30, like you may get a gut, but like, do, this means I'm unhealthy. I should stop. But for me, that doesn't happen. Do you think it's ever going to catch up to you? Oh, yeah, yeah. Once I'm like 30. Like you may get a gut, but like do you ever feel like it's possible for you to become morbidly obese? No, no, no, no. Like when you're 50? No, because I look at people like my dad and my uncle and everyone who were – they were the exact same way as me as kids. Who were strikingly attractive gentlemen, by the way.
Starting point is 00:09:01 Oh, God. Dale is fucking beautiful. But that's a whole nother can of worms that will open another day however though it's like you know it's it you know i like my metabolism might catch up to me when i'm like 30 or something i'll worry about that then i've got a good 10 years or so so you know i'm just gonna enjoy my snacks we keep getting off topic here um angie has made it easier than ever to connect with skilled professionals to get all your jobs projects done.

Starting point is 00:11:04 Sorry, we want to talk about round one. Yes, we're so bad about that. We'll start talking about something, and then before we finish, we'll be like, oh yeah, by the way, oh yeah, by the way, until we've talked about 30 different things and haven't finished a single fucking one. First of all, with round one, fuck Japanese claw machines. Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. Fuck American claw machines.
Starting point is 00:11:24 Japanese claw machines are fair. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. Fuck American claw machines. Japanese claw machines are fair. No, no, no, no. I do not like them. Ryan, you haven't tried a real, you haven't tried a Japanese claw machine. Yeah, because all the ones at round one that I've gone to only have the like one half of the claw. Those are American claw machines. Those are American claw machines. Okay. There's, let me tell you this, Aaron and Susie, the one, the one, the, the Japanese ones are the ones where you have to like push them over into the edge. No, no, let me tell you the difference here. So Aaron and Susie actually told me this. So basically American claw machines, which are the ones they have at round one too, are very –
Starting point is 00:11:52 so basically here's the difference. In America, the claw machines are designed to take your money. So you keep playing and keep playing because you don't get it. So you want to keep getting money. Like most arcade games. Yes. However, Japanese claw machines are based on skill and stuff so when you grab something it doesn't just lightly just touch it and then gingerly let go of it see like it's very easy to win things in japanese claw machines it actually
Starting point is 00:12:13 grabs things but american claw machines are fucking shit especially like the one in like there's one in dinny's down the street it's fucking shit you look are you telling me that round one they don't have a single japanese claw machine? Not that any I've seen. The claw machines I've seen there are just regular claw machines. What's a Japanese claw machine? Do you know? I know if I'd see one, I'm sure. But when we go to Japan, I will show you the difference and you will have a great time.
Starting point is 00:12:39 And you and I will go to Japan at some point. We will probably sometime this year, hopefully. I would love to. Yes. And here's the thing um the big difference between japanese arcade or claw machines and american claw machines that pisses me off the most is not is not well the skill is kind of bullshit but the thing is this in japan you're gonna get some fucking cool toy you're gonna get a really cool like like plushie of like some cool catchy figure or maybe like like a
Starting point is 00:13:04 gundam or like something really cool you're like whoa or like some pocking like nice i can eat this you go you go to a fucking claw machine here you're gonna get like a a cheap chinese manufactured spongebob plushie or or something from frozen now okay hold on i did i did win a Mario and a Luigi back-to-back. Well, they do put cool things in the claw machines at round one. That doesn't mean they're Japanese claw machines, though. There's a story behind that, by the way. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 00:13:33 Lay it on us. Okay, so I win a Mario, and then I win a Mario from a claw machine. Well, it's a certain type of Mario. What do they call it? I forget. Oh, where he has the tail? Yeah. Tanooki. Okay, Tanooki? Tanooki, yeah.
Starting point is 00:13:46 Tanooki, okay. I got a Tanooki Mario and then right after that, I got a Tanooki Luigi. Look at you, dude. And then there was this girl. She was like, wow! I don't know, she was watching me play and then she's like, can you win me one? I was like, sure. And so, lo and behold, I get a Mario Tanooki.
Starting point is 00:14:02 Dude! And I give it to her. Wait, wait, this is after you've already won two? Mm-hmm. So you won a third one. Yes. Ryan, Jesus Christ, dude. I know. And then her boyfriend walks up.
Starting point is 00:14:11 Oh, and you didn't know she had a boyfriend. I didn't care. Her boyfriend walks up, and I'm like, I just gave her the toy, and he goes, what's going on? He's like, you just won this for me. He goes, oh, God. Then he looks at me and doesn't say a word, and I just kind of away i was like oh i'm hungry i guess i don't know i i walked away she had a friend later on her friend is like hey do you think you can win me that luigi one because i guess they were best friends and they wanted something so what do i look like a charity
Starting point is 00:14:38 i know so she uh she spends her card money and i don't get the fucking luigi and i just walk away because i'm like oh well whoops i ruined the luck there ryan you know she she never forgave you for that and to this day she's been searching for you and if she ever finds this channel she's like that's the bastard who promised me he'd win me a luigi tanuki she didn't. She probably made a voodoo doll of me, and you can probably find it in a claw machine at your local round one. Okay, so real quick, let me talk about the claw machine in the Denny's down the street. So there's a Denny's between downtown Los Angeles and Glendale,
Starting point is 00:15:19 and we live in Glendale. And sometimes it feels good to go get late-night Denny's, which Ryan and I have done. Late-night breakfast is the only breakfast you can possibly have i do not like breakfast when the sun is up oh you son of okay no personal preference you know we're not i'm just saying you can only eat breakfast at night when the sun is down when the sun is up breakfast just feels gross honestly i've probably eaten more breakfast when the sun is down like after work i used to go to waffle house all the time. It's a different story. However, let me talk about this Denny's claw machine.
Starting point is 00:15:47 Okay, go on. Sorry. This is literally – it's like a dollar to play. You go over to this shitty claw machine that looks like they just pulled it out of a sunken ship. And we're like, oh, I guess we can put this in the restaurant. And basically, this is what's inside last time I checked. They have the shittiest, just the worst plushies i've ever seen and like like ryan like what is a plushie that you just don't want um i would have to minion for that's the first one off the bat this is worse all right what's because i get
Starting point is 00:16:16 minions because it's like a pop hold on i got one i got i got another one that's possibly worse than a minion yeah um poop emoji or any type of emoji? Now, Ryan, I understand that, but so much of millennial culture loves those darn emojis that, you know, they're going to love that. How can you not use them sarcastically? I don't know, dude. This is literally like a plushie that nobody wants. No one wants. They had plushies of these obscure football players from these obscure teams I've never fucking heard of.
Starting point is 00:16:48 They themselves look like voodoo dolls. Yeah. They're creepy looking. They are these shitty, like, I've never heard of these shitty teams. It'll be like the Chicago Slapskins. Or like the Philadelphia Diamondneckers. Yeah, and it's like, oh like there's oh my god they look so bad i'll take a picture and post it on twitter sometime uh if they still have them but like i
Starting point is 00:17:10 look over and that that's one of the things they have a lot of those thrown in and i'm like what who even are these people and then on top of that they've got um they had some spongebob ones that that you can tell like they're not licensed by nickelodeon kind of like the guy who's on hollywood boulevard who isn't licensed Spongebob advertisement. He has kind of a ripoff. Who punched you. Oh, yeah. I legitimately got punched in the stomach.
Starting point is 00:17:31 We'll never let that go. You'll hear it brought up again and again. Many times because that was a magical moment for me. However, this magic moment. Ryan, did you get the copyright license for that song? Fuck. Shit. If we don't cut that out, we're going to get sued.
Starting point is 00:17:46 Just continue. So these SpongeBob toys are clearly not licensed by Nickelodeon. So they look like... Is it like an off-green? No, it's just an off-SpongeBob. It's wearing overalls and a bow tie. When you look at it, it's one of those things where you can't pinpoint. Uncanny Valley-like?
Starting point is 00:18:07 Yeah, you can't pinpoint what's off about it, but you look at it and you're like, oh, that's not SpongeBob. But it is, but it's not. And you're like, and what else is there? They had Frozen toys. They had the same thing. They had off-brand, what's that little fucker snowman's name? Olga? No, no, no, no. Olaf.
Starting point is 00:18:25 Olaf, yeah. I don't know. Olga's some fucking old German name, right? Yeah, it's like an old woman German name. So then they have these knockoffs. Oh, you're going to get a bunch of Olgas pissed off in the comments section below. Listen, if your name is Olga, all my love. I love you, okay?
Starting point is 00:18:40 But you're going to be old one day, so technically he's right. Yeah, okay, yeah. See, I'm not wrong. So basically, just all these knockoff merchandise toys. And they have some other shitty ones of characters that I'm just like, what the fuck is that? It's like a red circle with eyes on it. It's like, wait, what is this? And they're just like, what the fuck?
Starting point is 00:18:58 Why would I pay a dollar to try to win one of these? And then moving on from weird things, there's a little Mexican Salvadorian restaurant near where we used to live. And basically, in the claw machine, there were just $5 bills just scattered all around, which, I mean, that's going to get me to want to play because I'm like, hey, maybe I can. It's like gambling in a way.
Starting point is 00:19:21 Isn't that technically gambling? Yes. Because you're paying money to win money. Yeah. But, you know, that's a delicious little restaurant. What's the loophole with that? How come kid arcades get a pass on the whole gambling? Holy shit, yeah.
Starting point is 00:19:32 I just realized that technically is gambling. Is there a loophole? Is it technically not gambling? I'm looking this up right now. Okay. That's actually really interesting. We're going to find this up. Okay, look up why arcades aren't gambling.
Starting point is 00:19:45 Arcades, best answer on Yahoo Answers. Okay're going to find this out. Look up why arcades aren't gambling. Arcades. Best answer on Yahoo Answers. Okay. We can always trust those. Oh, absolutely. This is John F. Three years ago said, To be considered gambling, an activity needs a randomizing factor.
Starting point is 00:19:54 This means something like a wheel, roulette, or big six, a deck of cards, dice, etc. Without that, the arcade games are considered games of skill. It's the same as giving out money at a golf tournament. You can spin a wheel in these fucking arcade games they have wheel games there yeah but technically they can oh where you press the button to make it stop yeah or like you know like okay my personal favorite game at any arcade are the like the coin the coin games where you drop the coin down and it goes and it lands on a little platform with all the other coins and then and then it pushes the you know like it pushes the other coins and you hope that you get your
Starting point is 00:20:28 coin lodged in the right spot so it pushes more coins off so you get more coins do you know those games right yeah i don't like them why uh they're just not fun to me i go to an arcade to have fun that's no i love those because i i'm just really good at them i don't i mean okay let's be honest these games are not games of skill i just have good luck when it comes to these. And holy shit, speaking of good luck with arcade games, Aaron Hansen, I have never seen a man win so many fucking tickets at an arcade. Are you talking about the dinosaur thing? Dude, yeah. Okay, Ryan and I were there that night when Aaron Hansen, the fucking legend, the man himself, literally, what did he win? Like 3,000 tickets?
Starting point is 00:21:03 Just like, hey, watch this. I'm going to win the jackpot. Boom, did it. He like, hey, watch this. I'm going to win the jackpot. Boom, did it. He goes, hey, watch this. And he taught us how to do it. We won over 1,000 each, definitely. And he used his money to buy us inflatable swords. He's a great guy.
Starting point is 00:21:15 Okay, being honest, Aaron is probably the best guy that we've ever met. He's a fantastic man. Well, I'm going to be honest here. I like my dad. I love my dad a little more ryan don't just for the podcast just say it so aaron likes us more aaron is just he a stand-up yeah like if i was asked the question would i rather spend a day with aaron hansen or martin luther king jr i would choose aaron hansen any day yeah you know solely because i i can't i can't with martin

I couldn't talk to him. I wouldn't know what questions to ask. Just say, hey, it's going pretty well. I would love for, like, yeah, I would like to see someone like Anderson Cooper, like, interview Martin Luther King Jr.
Starting point is 00:23:42 I feel like I would get more information and just more out of, like, watching that than me personally asking him questions. I'd be like, so, what do you... So, how about that integration, huh? Yeah. How did that... Pretty good stuff. Have you seen the Oscars? Looks like we've come a long way.
Starting point is 00:23:58 Yay! Oh, my God. How about that Black Panther movie coming out? It has black in the title. You'd be proud. Yup, yup, yup. It's named after the Tank Squadron. Not the militia group.
Starting point is 00:24:11 Both the militia group and the comic book character were named after the Tank Squadron. Which one came first? The comic book character came first before the Black Panther. So you're telling me the Black Panther Party takes its name from a comic book character? No, it gets its name from a comic book character uh no it gets its name from the from the tank battalion i'm just imagining like like the ku klux klan just changing their name to like the captain america party like that would totally be viable calling themselves captain america's like wouldn't that make sense oh that would bring a whole new light to the new civil
Starting point is 00:24:43 war movie which you and i saw oh it, it was fantastic, by the way. Yeah, I mean, I enjoyed it. It's definitely not as good as Winter Soldier, which I still feel like you need to see. Okay, well, yeah, let me preface this by saying the only superhero movie I have seen, The Avengers, the first one, and I have seen the first Iron Man. Which that's my favorite. It's a good movie. Well, it's not my okay my favorite
Starting point is 00:25:05 superhero movie is Watchmen oh I want to see Watchmen I I love that and then of course my second favorite superhero movie is Iron Man uh I just I thought it was it's been a long time since I've seen Iron Man I'd really like to watch it not two or three god not two or three Ryan okay we're close let's talk about um Let's talk about obscure movies, okay? Like movies that you saw the trailer for, or maybe a movie that you saw once five years ago. But a movie that no one really knows about. You know what I'm saying? Like Dinner for Schmucks, that type of movie.
Starting point is 00:25:40 Let's talk about those movies, the movies that just are big flops. Oh, no. Okay, big flop movies. No, not a big flop like one everyone knows, like Jack and Jill. But just like, when I say obscure movies, I mean like really get obscure. There was the fucking Battleship movie. That did horribly in the box office, didn't it? I saw George of the Jungle 2.
Starting point is 00:25:56 I watched it multiple times on VHS. With Brendan Fraser? They couldn't get Brendan Fraser. In fact, there's a whole self-aware joke within the movie. I think they couldn't afford Brendan Fraser. Which fact, there's a whole self-aware joke within the movie. I think they couldn't afford Brendan Fraser. Which is funny now because he's blacklisted. Well, I don't think it's official, but he's pretty much blacklisted himself from Hollywood. Which is unfortunate.
Starting point is 00:26:13 Earlier this week, I was watching the Looney Tunes movie back in action. And I was like, seriously, in that time, he was the Chris Pratt of that time. He was like the hunky, kind of dorky, kind of clumsy, but still attractive, young kind of talent. And fit and everything. I mean, seriously, you look at how Chris Pratt is looked at, and you look at Brendan Fraser. I feel like there's a lot of correlations between their audience and who their fans were. Oh, my stars. Does Brendan Fraser get my loins inflamed?
Starting point is 00:26:47 Because, I mean, Brendan Fraser, I mean, he was like, I mean, you look at Chris Pratt, who's like a part of the Guardians of the Galaxy stuff and all that, and then you look at Brendan Fraser, who was a part of The Mummy. I mean, that was a big thing. That was a big series. That is just a known... Have you ever seen The Mummy?
Starting point is 00:27:03 No, I haven't. Are you about to question if it was like this, if it was... No, no, I know what The Mummy is. no i haven't are you are you trying are you are you about the question if it was like this if it was no no i know what the mummy is i just haven't seen it okay or maybe i have seen it just super long ago um the cgi does not hold up i don't know wait a second wait a second dwayne the rock johnson wasn't even like a big thing then why yes i have seen that scene and it's just like oh my god, what are they doing with Dwayne, dude? They didn't even need Dwayne in there because they just butchered him. Oh, man. I don't understand that because he wasn't big at the time.
Starting point is 00:27:31 By the way, Dwayne the Rock Johnson is in just a bunch of stuff coming out, including a new Baywatch remake. Yeah, a little excited for that. I'm personally excited for it mainly because I saw 21 Jump Street, and they made it a hard R. They made it different than the TV show. Baywatch apparently is going to be a raunchy comedy rated R. I guess a hard R. Zach Efron, yeah. I really like Zach Efron.
Starting point is 00:27:54 There's something about him. From the way you've talked about Zach Efron in the past, I think he's kind of like your man crush in a way. It used to be Ryan Gosling after I saw Drive which is a fucking fantastic movie that also has one of your favorite actors, Brian Cranston, in it. You've seen Drive. Please tell me you've seen Drive.
Starting point is 00:28:10 I have not seen Drive. Motherfucker. Ryan, when I get back, we'll have to do a little movie night. Please. Not anything like gay, but you know. I don't think anyone was thinking that. No, Ryan, yeah. Okay, so tying in Brendan Fraser with obscure movies.
Starting point is 00:28:24 Okay, I saw the movie Furry Vengeance in theaters. And if you guys don't know what Furry Vengeance is, it's Dr. Doolittle for white people. Dr. Doolittle for white? Dr. Doolittle was for white people, wasn't it? This is Dr. Doolittle for white 14-year-olds. So was Birth of a Nation. Yes, that was definitely made for white people. Have you seen that movie?
Starting point is 00:28:47 No, I haven't seen it. It's ridiculous. It's long. It's just... It's the KKK movie. Yeah, I know it's racist. Yeah, that's a given. But it's just an odd fucking film.
Starting point is 00:28:59 Okay, you know what's an odd fucking film? It's Song of the South. And now that was Disney's... Disney actually released a movie way long ago that you actually like can't buy in the galaxy far far away ryan aha they own star wars now it's a movie called song of the south and basically it's about what it's about like a like a slave and some disney characters what you haven't heard of this no it's literally disney made a movie similar to space jam and the style that it mixed cartoons with real life.
Starting point is 00:29:25 And basically what it was was it was about a slave and some Disney characters. And it was incredibly fucking racist. And they don't sell it. They don't produce it anymore. You can still find it online. Jesus. But, like, I think – I have to look this up.
Starting point is 00:29:39 Yeah, maybe we can do a review on it once our – we do have that movie review series still coming out. We're just working on the inner workings of it like um like intro just trying to get intro animated and getting kind of like the whole because well i want to be of high quality of course so it really comes to like how we want the show to be like you're stretching you're it's late isn't it i can tell because you're trying to distract me by playing with your non-existent stomach um are you sad now yeah no there's something there's some flab continue what you're saying it's just skin though it's not fat sorry i'm making my belly button talk continue ryan i i didn't mean what was i saying oh sorry i was just gonna basically i was gonna connect what you were saying of how disney did
Starting point is 00:30:22 that they also uh had a don Donald Duck cartoon where he was a part of the Nazi regime. It was like anti-Nazi propaganda, right? Yeah, Nancy. Nancy propaganda. Fuck Nancy. It was anti-Nazi propaganda, but you can literally go
Starting point is 00:30:39 and literally, you can literally do that. Okay, sorry. I hate, fuck me for saying literally. I literally hate the word literally. I will literally fuck you for literally saying it. But you can actually do that okay sorry that's i hate fuck me for saying dude i literally hate the word literally i will literally fuck you but you can actually go look it up and just it's funny because they got the voice actor for donald dutch just be like heil hitler it's like what like you hear that and he does like the whole fuck what is that called with the with the hand see kyle i think see kyle whatever i have no idea whatever the fuck that dumbass hitler decided he wanted people it looks stupid he was a smart It looks stupid. Dude, he was a smart man. You gotta give him that.
Starting point is 00:31:06 He was a smart man? Yeah, let's actually just change the subject. Well, he's not a smart man, but he knows what love is. God, just imagine if they recreated Forrest Gump with Hitler. Like, I may not be a smart man, but I know what love is. Why am I doing a Russian accent? Is that your Hitler accent? No, I just don't know how to do a German accent. The fuck was that, Matt? Why am I doing a Russian accent? Is that Hitler? Is that your Hitler accent? No, I just don't know how to do a German accent.
Starting point is 00:31:27 The fuck was that, Matt? How do you do a German accent? Oh, very nice. That's like Norwegian. I am Arnold. Now I just sounded like I just have a terrible speech impediment. Doesn't he have one? Does he just have a thick accent or is he literally like he can't speak right?
Starting point is 00:31:45 I don't know. He used to be the governor of the fucking state we live in. Who's the governor of California now? I don't know. I don't know anything about California. Sylvester Stallone? No. They just get a bunch of big fucking bulky action heroes.
Starting point is 00:31:57 Just like who's next? Is it going to be? Why did Arnold Schwarzenegger, the governor, he became the governor, but he also like cheated on his wife with a maid? Did he? Yeah. Oh, jeez. It's a thing that happened.
Starting point is 00:32:08 Have you seen that video of David Hasselhoff? With a burger? Yeah, drunk out of his mind just eating a cheeseburger. Had his daughters filming it, and he's just like, doesn't he say some really embarrassing stuff? I don't know. A lot of celebrities have said a lot of embarrassing stuff, like Mel Gibson. I think everyone says a lot of embarrassing stuff. If you're just in the public eye, it's just a lot worse because it's like, oh, no, no, no, no, no.
Starting point is 00:32:26 Exactly. That's one thing that I like kind of like whenever – I don't care if a celebrity fucks up. Like, yeah, I'll probably be like, oh, they're an asshole. But like at the end of the day, I don't know them, so I don't really fucking care. Like if it's like – you hear Justin Bieber pisses in like the fucking mop bucket at some restaurant, and it's like, oh, what a douche. But I don't give a shit because – It's many you know how many people do that every night and they're just assholes it's like why does it just he's just another asshole like at the time i can't speak for justin bieber now i don't know him but that's an asshole-ish thing and you can only judge
Starting point is 00:32:57 people by what you know of them of course yeah but then there's oh you're not supposed to judge people blah blah blah but i like his new album. Oh, really? I don't love it. I just feel like, I don't know, when I'm driving, I can put it on. Holy shit, Matt! What? Dude, are you on your Segway? Skrr! Skrr!
Starting point is 00:33:16 I want to see, I want to see, like, hard rappers do a music video, and they just have fucking tricked out Segways, dude. How great would that be? You know what show I was obsessed with when I was young? Pimp My Ride? Yes! Yes! I loved it.
Starting point is 00:33:28 I'm like, they put a fucking PS4 in the trunk? Hell yeah! That's so cool. I loved it. I didn't have cable as a kid. They had Exhibit, dude. Is he a rapper? Exhibit was the host.
Starting point is 00:33:37 Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, I know who Exhibit is. Yeah. So I didn't have cable as a kid, so growing up my... You have satellite? No. Dish? No, I just had... Network? I had like... up, my... You have satellite? No. Dish? No, I just had...
Starting point is 00:33:46 Network? Time Warner? Ryan, I had five channels. AOL? I had PBS as my main entertainment channel, so I'd get home. I was on PBS. Really? Mm-hmm.
Starting point is 00:33:55 It was like a local thing, though. Because I won some scholarship for a little short documentary I did in high school. That's so cool, man. You know what I watched on PBS every day? Arthur. Or the Magic School Bus. Did they play the Magic School Bus on PBS? No.
Starting point is 00:34:11 Well, if they did, it wasn't what I watched. Here's the thing. At school they played the Magic School Bus, but I loved it so much that I actually went out and bought the VHS tapes. Okay, I was thinking about this recently, and it's something that I can't – did I make this up in my head i remember in fourth grade they brought in a charlie brown movie to show us and it was called it wasn't you
Starting point is 00:34:33 have cancer charlie brown it was literally it was a charlie brown uh movie about his friend getting cancer i i cannot speak okay i just gotta, like, I didn't dream this. Okay. Search Charlie Brown cancer. No, if you search Charlie Brown cancer, there's a lot of theories that he has cancer. Oh, yeah, it's real. It's called Why Charlie Brown? Why?
Starting point is 00:34:55 Oh, God, that's so morbid. Wait, what happened? Hold on, hold on. Let me read the Wikipedia thing. Okay, yeah. What's the plot synopsis? Okay. Janice Immons is a new friend and classmate of Charlie Brown and Linus, who loves to play on the swings.
Starting point is 00:35:05 The special begins with Charlie Brown, Sally Linus, and Janice waiting for the school bus. As Janice boards the bus, she hits her arm on a railing, causing it to bruise. Linus notices that Janice has been bruising easily lately. When they arrive at school, Janice starts feeling ill. Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. Oh, my God. She goes to the hospital, and she has cancer. What?
Starting point is 00:35:20 She goes through chemotherapy. This is a— What the fuck? As Charlie Brown and linus leave the hospital linus asks why charlie brown why are you fucking serious right now he then walks i knew i didn't make this up we watched this in school wait does someone die at the end she wait she loses her hair because of chemotherapy and wears a cap yeah and she gets made fun of for for the baldness and linus stands up and calls him like a blockhead for making fun wait does she die hold on um sorry guys spoiler alert turn this podcast off if you don't want to if you oh no no
