1
00:00:03,480 --> 00:00:15,360
Speaker 1: Motherfucking many years, so motherfucking many years. So yep, yep,

2
00:00:15,560 --> 00:00:18,840
Speaker 1: there it is. There it is. Ladies and gentlemen, Welcome

3
00:00:18,880 --> 00:00:24,159
Speaker 1: to another phenomenal episode of My Mama Told Me, the

4
00:00:24,280 --> 00:00:27,960
Speaker 1: podcast where we dive deep, deep into the pockets of

5
00:00:28,040 --> 00:00:32,040
Speaker 1: black conspiracy theories and we finally work to prove that

6
00:00:32,159 --> 00:00:37,479
Speaker 1: theories that you the listeners have at home. It is

7
00:00:37,600 --> 00:00:41,440
Speaker 1: time to hear your thoughts, the things that you send

8
00:00:41,520 --> 00:00:45,479
Speaker 1: to me. He I don't know what that song is,

9
00:00:45,600 --> 00:00:48,519
Speaker 1: but it's it's a goddamn classic. If I could, if

10
00:00:48,680 --> 00:00:51,560
Speaker 1: if I'm being honest, I might have wrote the new

11
00:00:52,200 --> 00:00:54,400
Speaker 1: do a Leaper song. You know what I mean. I

12
00:00:54,400 --> 00:00:57,080
Speaker 1: don't want to be the star in this situation. I

13
00:00:57,160 --> 00:00:59,560
Speaker 1: just want to send that to do a Leaper and

14
00:00:59,640 --> 00:01:02,920
Speaker 1: let her do. Let her do alipa her thing with it.

15
00:01:03,080 --> 00:01:05,800
Speaker 1: You know what I mean? Do you do a lipa?

16
00:01:05,920 --> 00:01:09,080
Speaker 1: That's what I always say. Anyway, I'm here to talk

17
00:01:09,120 --> 00:01:12,920
Speaker 1: about actual funny ship and interesting ship that you all

18
00:01:12,959 --> 00:01:15,480
Speaker 1: send me. And boy, oh boy, do I have a

19
00:01:15,520 --> 00:01:19,680
Speaker 1: good one today. This message, this I guess, uh theory,

20
00:01:19,800 --> 00:01:22,600
Speaker 1: let's call it a theory based on the premise of

21
00:01:22,600 --> 00:01:27,440
Speaker 1: this podcast. We'll call it a conspiracy theory. Perhaps this

22
00:01:27,520 --> 00:01:31,440
Speaker 1: conspiracy theory comes to me from a gentleman named Demetrius.

23
00:01:31,480 --> 00:01:34,960
Speaker 1: He preferred to be called Demetrius, and Demetrius sent me

24
00:01:35,640 --> 00:01:39,119
Speaker 1: a message. He did not record it. Apparently he similarly

25
00:01:39,200 --> 00:01:41,360
Speaker 1: has a bit of a speech impediment and is a

26
00:01:41,360 --> 00:01:46,240
Speaker 1: little shy about me hearing that sweet that sweet snaggle puss.

27
00:01:46,319 --> 00:01:48,640
Speaker 1: You know what I mean, that sweet parcel mouth. He

28
00:01:48,680 --> 00:01:50,720
Speaker 1: didn't want me to hear it, but he said, my

29
00:01:50,800 --> 00:01:56,120
Speaker 1: mama told me that Pokemon is the devil. That's what

30
00:01:56,200 --> 00:01:58,560
Speaker 1: Demetrius said, and he goes on to say a bunch

31
00:01:58,600 --> 00:02:01,760
Speaker 1: of stuff he said. Backstory on this, I much like

32
00:02:01,800 --> 00:02:04,680
Speaker 1: other children collected Pokemon shipped back when it hit the

33
00:02:04,720 --> 00:02:07,920
Speaker 1: scene in the US, and I was in grade school

34
00:02:07,960 --> 00:02:10,359
Speaker 1: at the time. If you didn't funk with Pokemon, you

35
00:02:10,440 --> 00:02:12,480
Speaker 1: were the weird kid. Or maybe I was just a

36
00:02:12,480 --> 00:02:14,799
Speaker 1: geeky motherfucker and I didn't realize that at the time.

37
00:02:14,840 --> 00:02:17,799
Speaker 1: Either way, For years, I was racking up cards and

38
00:02:17,919 --> 00:02:20,640
Speaker 1: merch playing the Nintendo games, watching the show the whole

39
00:02:20,720 --> 00:02:24,120
Speaker 1: nine I was a black ass catchman. You couldn't tell

40
00:02:24,160 --> 00:02:27,320
Speaker 1: me ship. Then out of nowhere, some minister I don't

41
00:02:27,320 --> 00:02:30,320
Speaker 1: remember who it was got up on national television and

42
00:02:30,360 --> 00:02:34,120
Speaker 1: went full on fire and brimstone about Pokemon from the pulpit.

43
00:02:34,440 --> 00:02:37,200
Speaker 1: My mom gets ahold of this and then has me

44
00:02:37,280 --> 00:02:40,160
Speaker 1: back up all my Pokemon and throw it away. Her

45
00:02:40,200 --> 00:02:43,080
Speaker 1: answer was, we ain't letting the devil up in our house.

46
00:02:43,280 --> 00:02:45,840
Speaker 1: That sounds like a Kanye lyric, and I appreciate that.

47
00:02:46,240 --> 00:02:49,919
Speaker 1: My question to you, Lanston, what could compel a man,

48
00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:52,880
Speaker 1: a grown ass clergyman who has devoted his life to

49
00:02:52,960 --> 00:02:55,680
Speaker 1: preaching the Gospel to the hearts of mankind to come

50
00:02:55,720 --> 00:02:59,120
Speaker 1: after some imaginary Japanese characters from a game that if

51
00:02:59,160 --> 00:03:01,639
Speaker 1: you played beyond the age of sixteen, people would look

52
00:03:01,680 --> 00:03:05,440
Speaker 1: at you funny, but their immediate reaction isn't to reach

53
00:03:05,480 --> 00:03:08,320
Speaker 1: for the Holy water, maybe the pepper spray, but not

54
00:03:08,480 --> 00:03:13,040
Speaker 1: the crucifix. What kind of mysterious demons is that yellow

55
00:03:13,120 --> 00:03:17,640
Speaker 1: bitch Pikachu hiding in them poke balls? What kind of

56
00:03:17,760 --> 00:03:21,359
Speaker 1: root is that fat bitch Jigglypuff trying to put on

57
00:03:21,400 --> 00:03:25,280
Speaker 1: God's children? Help me out lengths and many apologizes for

58
00:03:25,400 --> 00:03:27,920
Speaker 1: making fun of my speech im betterment, which I didn't

59
00:03:27,960 --> 00:03:31,959
Speaker 1: even read that part of the email, But it's important

60
00:03:31,960 --> 00:03:34,560
Speaker 1: that you know I'm being as transparent with you all

61
00:03:34,639 --> 00:03:37,960
Speaker 1: as I possibly can at all times. That said, Demetrius,

62
00:03:38,040 --> 00:03:41,560
Speaker 1: I would love to dig into this conspiracy theory as

63
00:03:41,720 --> 00:03:45,240
Speaker 1: I was a bit of a Pokemon fanatic myself. Now

64
00:03:45,280 --> 00:03:47,960
Speaker 1: I was collecting basketball cards, and as a kid, I

65
00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:50,600
Speaker 1: was much more of a basketball cards kid. But I

66
00:03:50,640 --> 00:03:55,160
Speaker 1: did love playing Pokemon the game. I enjoyed all Pokemon

67
00:03:55,360 --> 00:03:59,680
Speaker 1: television programming. I was a big Pokemon head. I used

68
00:03:59,680 --> 00:04:04,000
Speaker 1: to those songs like Nobody's Business Boy. I knew all

69
00:04:04,080 --> 00:04:07,160
Speaker 1: one hundred and fifty Pokemon at one point and now

70
00:04:07,320 --> 00:04:10,320
Speaker 1: I could name about twelve of them before I get

71
00:04:10,360 --> 00:04:13,920
Speaker 1: bored and tired and feel like maybe this was all

72
00:04:14,080 --> 00:04:17,560
Speaker 1: just a big stupid ploy by some weird men who

73
00:04:17,880 --> 00:04:22,880
Speaker 1: wanted to draw pictures of animals and animals with human legs,

74
00:04:22,960 --> 00:04:26,040
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. That's pretty much the whole theory.

75
00:04:26,640 --> 00:04:29,440
Speaker 1: The whole thing with Pokemon is like, what if we

76
00:04:29,560 --> 00:04:32,359
Speaker 1: drew uh, what if we drew a rhinoceros but it

77
00:04:32,440 --> 00:04:35,800
Speaker 1: had people legs, that'd be pretty cool. And then they

78
00:04:35,880 --> 00:04:37,720
Speaker 1: drew it and then they were like, yeah, that's a

79
00:04:38,480 --> 00:04:42,960
Speaker 1: that's that's rhino dog. And you're like, yeah, I guess

80
00:04:43,000 --> 00:04:45,760
Speaker 1: I gotta collect that motherfucker. It's pretty tight. But as

81
00:04:45,800 --> 00:04:49,640
Speaker 1: foolish let's get back to the conspiracy theory. As foolish

82
00:04:49,680 --> 00:04:53,760
Speaker 1: as this conspiracy theory sounds, it does remind me of

83
00:04:53,960 --> 00:04:58,600
Speaker 1: exactly how powerful pokemon Mania was during the late nineties.

84
00:04:58,640 --> 00:05:02,200
Speaker 1: I mean, Pokemon cards at one point were the most

85
00:05:02,279 --> 00:05:04,800
Speaker 1: valuable thing in the world. They were more valuable than

86
00:05:04,839 --> 00:05:08,560
Speaker 1: pussy and pt cruisers. I would have killed my neighbor's

87
00:05:08,720 --> 00:05:11,960
Speaker 1: dog to get my hands on a hologram Dragon Night,

88
00:05:12,040 --> 00:05:14,240
Speaker 1: do you know what I mean. I would have done

89
00:05:14,240 --> 00:05:16,960
Speaker 1: anything to just get a taste of some of that

90
00:05:17,320 --> 00:05:21,920
Speaker 1: that sweet Pokemon magic. That said, I did do some research,

91
00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:26,000
Speaker 1: and I tracked down the video in reference, the exact

92
00:05:26,160 --> 00:05:29,400
Speaker 1: video that you're referring to here, Demetrius, and I'm gonna

93
00:05:29,440 --> 00:05:31,680
Speaker 1: play a little bit of it now because I think

94
00:05:31,720 --> 00:05:35,200
Speaker 1: it's important. It's gonna help lay some context for exactly

95
00:05:35,200 --> 00:05:40,239
Speaker 1: why this preacher is so upset. Important for the church

96
00:05:40,360 --> 00:05:42,960
Speaker 1: to deal with issues as they come to the forefront

97
00:05:43,000 --> 00:05:46,040
Speaker 1: in society, said Son, what is that? One morning? He said,

98
00:05:46,040 --> 00:05:49,880
Speaker 1: that's up, that's Pokemon. Son. I found out that Pokemon

99
00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:56,160
Speaker 1: mains pocket monster. Pokemon is Pokemon plural or incredible creatures

100
00:05:56,279 --> 00:05:59,440
Speaker 1: that share the world with humans. Each has his own

101
00:05:59,440 --> 00:06:03,119
Speaker 1: fighting to realities. Some grow and ebolb and even more

102
00:06:03,200 --> 00:06:08,400
Speaker 1: powerful creatures. The children are developing relationships with all these

103
00:06:08,440 --> 00:06:15,960
Speaker 1: Pokemon creatures, little reclusive, power filled monsters. Why should they

104
00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:19,599
Speaker 1: carry these monsters in their pocket? They say, The Pokemon

105
00:06:19,760 --> 00:06:23,640
Speaker 1: whole effort is to train children how to become the

106
00:06:23,760 --> 00:06:27,240
Speaker 1: number one Pokemon master in the world. You follow up

107
00:06:27,240 --> 00:06:28,640
Speaker 1: through the New Age teach and you find out the

108
00:06:28,680 --> 00:06:32,800
Speaker 1: masters of those who take control of spirits in the

109
00:06:32,920 --> 00:06:35,839
Speaker 1: dark realm, and they tell those spirits what to do.

110
00:06:36,600 --> 00:06:41,760
Speaker 1: The child, at some point becomes capable of taking these

111
00:06:41,800 --> 00:06:45,920
Speaker 1: powers and channeling them through their mind, through their arms,

112
00:06:46,520 --> 00:06:49,800
Speaker 1: or through their power sources. Power sources, of course, are

113
00:06:49,839 --> 00:06:51,359
Speaker 1: many of the symbols that they pick up from the

114
00:06:51,360 --> 00:06:55,760
Speaker 1: Pokemon paraphernalia. So so Pokemon is a game they teach

115
00:06:55,839 --> 00:06:58,120
Speaker 1: us children how to enter into the world of witchcraft,

116
00:06:58,200 --> 00:07:01,840
Speaker 1: how to cast spell, how to use psychic phenomena, how

117
00:07:01,880 --> 00:07:05,640
Speaker 1: to but work supernatural powers against their enemies, how to

118
00:07:05,720 --> 00:07:09,479
Speaker 1: fantasy role play Pokemon world. There's a world a little

119
00:07:09,520 --> 00:07:12,720
Speaker 1: bit demonic of the satanic, But why you might not

120
00:07:12,800 --> 00:07:16,320
Speaker 1: take it quite seriously. I assure you that demons take

121
00:07:16,400 --> 00:07:19,880
Speaker 1: it quite seriously. Satan takes it quite seriously. Your children

122
00:07:19,960 --> 00:07:22,280
Speaker 1: knew need to know those a devil and he hates

123
00:07:22,360 --> 00:07:25,680
Speaker 1: him and he wants to ruin their life. There we go,

124
00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:28,640
Speaker 1: There we go. I think we learned a lot. There's

125
00:07:28,680 --> 00:07:31,040
Speaker 1: the devil. He wants to ruin your life, and there's

126
00:07:31,160 --> 00:07:36,000
Speaker 1: no better way to ruin your life than through jiggly Puff,

127
00:07:36,360 --> 00:07:42,080
Speaker 1: that fat bitch with his microphone singing a Sirens song,

128
00:07:42,680 --> 00:07:46,240
Speaker 1: a Satan on him in your ears. That's how the

129
00:07:46,280 --> 00:07:50,120
Speaker 1: devil's gonna get you, children, and Pokemon is helping to

130
00:07:50,320 --> 00:07:53,520
Speaker 1: do it. Now, the video in reference comes from this,

131
00:07:53,760 --> 00:07:56,880
Speaker 1: you know, as you can plainly hear this white mega

132
00:07:56,920 --> 00:07:59,520
Speaker 1: pastor whose name I didn't care to even look up,

133
00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:03,080
Speaker 1: reaching or presort of preaching about the dangers of allowing

134
00:08:03,080 --> 00:08:06,880
Speaker 1: Pokemon into your children's lives. Basically, his biggest hang up

135
00:08:07,000 --> 00:08:10,480
Speaker 1: is that the child controlling the powers of the monsters

136
00:08:10,520 --> 00:08:14,720
Speaker 1: in their pockets allows them to connect with the devil.

137
00:08:15,120 --> 00:08:18,680
Speaker 1: The devil being connected to the monsters, that that he's

138
00:08:18,720 --> 00:08:22,760
Speaker 1: equating the Pokemon and they're casting of spells or wielding

139
00:08:22,800 --> 00:08:26,840
Speaker 1: a power to the same work that Satan does. Now,

140
00:08:26,880 --> 00:08:32,480
Speaker 1: although this language from this guy is particularly crazy. It's

141
00:08:32,559 --> 00:08:37,400
Speaker 1: not completely isolated. He wasn't one of one at this point.

142
00:08:37,720 --> 00:08:42,560
Speaker 1: In fact, in there was an article from the Associated Press.

143
00:08:42,640 --> 00:08:46,400
Speaker 1: That's right, the A p A. I think, uh pretty

144
00:08:47,080 --> 00:08:51,920
Speaker 1: respected source and nowadays or certainly has been for many years.

145
00:08:51,920 --> 00:08:55,480
Speaker 1: But the Associated Press had an article that they wrote

146
00:08:55,480 --> 00:09:00,880
Speaker 1: titled Pokemonsters up Crime, and in that article they were

147
00:09:00,960 --> 00:09:05,960
Speaker 1: clount incidents of fights, of robberies, and even stabbings related

148
00:09:06,000 --> 00:09:11,000
Speaker 1: to Pokemon cards, specifically amongst school children. The article even

149
00:09:11,040 --> 00:09:15,560
Speaker 1: included safety tips they told they talked about like kids

150
00:09:15,559 --> 00:09:19,440
Speaker 1: being stabbed in bathrooms and hit with trash cans all

151
00:09:19,480 --> 00:09:23,400
Speaker 1: while they fight over Pokemon cards, rare Pokemon cards. Sometimes

152
00:09:23,400 --> 00:09:26,880
Speaker 1: not rare Pokemon cards. Some kids got fucking shanked for

153
00:09:27,200 --> 00:09:32,440
Speaker 1: seventy sent like basic bitch pack of cards. The point

154
00:09:32,559 --> 00:09:36,560
Speaker 1: is the article even included safety tips for how parents

155
00:09:36,600 --> 00:09:41,400
Speaker 1: can handle their children's safety in relation to their card collections,

156
00:09:41,440 --> 00:09:44,040
Speaker 1: basically telling a bunch of parents not to let their

157
00:09:44,120 --> 00:09:47,720
Speaker 1: kids leave the house with the Pokemon cards, not to

158
00:09:47,840 --> 00:09:51,320
Speaker 1: invite friends over and leave them alone in a room

159
00:09:51,400 --> 00:09:54,800
Speaker 1: where the Pokemon cards are being kept, not to allow

160
00:09:55,000 --> 00:09:58,520
Speaker 1: kids to to buy more than a a certain amount

161
00:09:58,600 --> 00:10:01,600
Speaker 1: of Pokemon cards that are time all with the possibility

162
00:10:01,679 --> 00:10:06,559
Speaker 1: that these cards might introduce violence and danger into their

163
00:10:06,600 --> 00:10:11,280
Speaker 1: lives sound pretty demonic to me. Sounds pretty of the

164
00:10:11,320 --> 00:10:17,280
Speaker 1: Devil if you ask me. And this this is interesting.

165
00:10:17,360 --> 00:10:21,240
Speaker 1: Similarly in n Burger King, you know, uh, the King

166
00:10:21,280 --> 00:10:25,160
Speaker 1: of Burger's, which also sounds like it might have some

167
00:10:25,160 --> 00:10:27,840
Speaker 1: some connections to the Devil, but we'll we'll get into

168
00:10:27,880 --> 00:10:31,600
Speaker 1: that on another day. But the Burger King, the Burger King.

169
00:10:31,640 --> 00:10:33,559
Speaker 1: I don't know if anybody is referred to it as

170
00:10:33,679 --> 00:10:37,240
Speaker 1: the Burger King. I think it's just regular as Burger King. Anyway,

171
00:10:37,280 --> 00:10:40,719
Speaker 1: Burger King had to recall a bunch of Pokemon accessories

172
00:10:40,760 --> 00:10:45,520
Speaker 1: after a small child suffocated to death after putting one

173
00:10:45,559 --> 00:10:48,480
Speaker 1: of their pokey balls, one of the poke ball toys

174
00:10:48,520 --> 00:10:52,520
Speaker 1: that they were giving away with their meals, on its face. Basically,

175
00:10:52,800 --> 00:10:55,360
Speaker 1: the baby put the poke ball half a pokey ball

176
00:10:55,440 --> 00:10:57,960
Speaker 1: on its face and then it died. And then Burger

177
00:10:58,040 --> 00:11:00,679
Speaker 1: King had to be like, hey, y'all, y'all don't get

178
00:11:00,679 --> 00:11:04,679
Speaker 1: poke balls no more because because this baby couldn't handle it.

179
00:11:04,920 --> 00:11:09,200
Speaker 1: So now everybody nobody gets poke balls. Now. What feels

180
00:11:09,280 --> 00:11:11,360
Speaker 1: like is being missed in a lot of these articles

181
00:11:11,400 --> 00:11:14,800
Speaker 1: and reports. Is how many of these situations could have

182
00:11:14,880 --> 00:11:18,880
Speaker 1: been controlled by the adults in these children's lives. Now,

183
00:11:18,880 --> 00:11:22,120
Speaker 1: I don't want to blame any parents of a dead child.

184
00:11:22,200 --> 00:11:24,360
Speaker 1: That's not something I'm into, you know what I mean.

185
00:11:24,760 --> 00:11:28,160
Speaker 1: I ain't doing that and that's not my place. Yeah,

186
00:11:28,320 --> 00:11:31,360
Speaker 1: if if a baby dies, I'm not gonna be like, hi,

187
00:11:31,800 --> 00:11:34,000
Speaker 1: you should have did more, And I'm not gonna do that.

188
00:11:34,040 --> 00:11:37,200
Speaker 1: But unless the poke ball is attaching to the child's

189
00:11:37,200 --> 00:11:40,480
Speaker 1: face like one of those flying pussies in the Alien movie,

190
00:11:40,920 --> 00:11:44,679
Speaker 1: you should probably be able to stop them from smothering themselves.

191
00:11:44,840 --> 00:11:47,600
Speaker 1: I don't know if it's your fault, but you could

192
00:11:47,640 --> 00:11:50,960
Speaker 1: have done something similarly. Quite a bit of the main

193
00:11:51,040 --> 00:11:55,800
Speaker 1: year around the pokey paraphernalia was driven by grown men

194
00:11:55,880 --> 00:11:59,800
Speaker 1: and women who were spending insane amounts of money, oh

195
00:12:00,040 --> 00:12:04,679
Speaker 1: for and over again, trying to collect these items, just

196
00:12:04,800 --> 00:12:08,440
Speaker 1: insane amounts of money to create sexless rooms and their

197
00:12:08,480 --> 00:12:13,520
Speaker 1: sheds with pictures of cartoon children holding electric rats. It's

198
00:12:13,600 --> 00:12:18,480
Speaker 1: it was a wild time. The Willennium really sobered us

199
00:12:18,559 --> 00:12:21,680
Speaker 1: up quite a bit. Long story short, It just feels

200
00:12:21,720 --> 00:12:27,520
Speaker 1: weird to call something demonic Before we point to consumerism

201
00:12:27,559 --> 00:12:31,640
Speaker 1: as a more likely cause for concern relating to Pokemon.

202
00:12:32,120 --> 00:12:34,560
Speaker 1: I don't know if this is as much the devil

203
00:12:35,040 --> 00:12:40,200
Speaker 1: as money and the want for expensive, rare things is

204
00:12:40,240 --> 00:12:44,360
Speaker 1: the devil, and Pokemon just happened to be a symptom

205
00:12:44,440 --> 00:12:46,960
Speaker 1: of that demonic work. But who do I what do

206
00:12:47,040 --> 00:12:49,640
Speaker 1: I know? I'm just a motherfucker who talks alone and

207
00:12:50,160 --> 00:12:54,360
Speaker 1: uh in his baby's nursery. Uh. You know, my my

208
00:12:54,480 --> 00:12:57,040
Speaker 1: kid isn't here yet, so I get to keep recording

209
00:12:57,040 --> 00:13:01,119
Speaker 1: my podcast next to uh, a bunch of unpacked boxes

210
00:13:01,200 --> 00:13:04,440
Speaker 1: and a pretty well built crib. I'll say that we

211
00:13:04,520 --> 00:13:06,880
Speaker 1: put the crib together, and I we built the ship

212
00:13:07,000 --> 00:13:09,040
Speaker 1: out of it, and I hope, I hope it's a

213
00:13:09,080 --> 00:13:13,040
Speaker 1: crib that stays sturdy and strong and never is a

214
00:13:13,040 --> 00:13:16,560
Speaker 1: place where my baby suffocates it herself with a poke ball.

215
00:13:16,760 --> 00:13:21,120
Speaker 1: That's my main wish. Anyway, This talk of Pokemon being

216
00:13:21,160 --> 00:13:26,000
Speaker 1: demonic did, however, remind me of a very popular rumor

217
00:13:26,320 --> 00:13:29,040
Speaker 1: from when I was growing up. I don't know if

218
00:13:29,040 --> 00:13:31,679
Speaker 1: you guys had a bunch of Pokemon rumors, but one

219
00:13:31,679 --> 00:13:34,839
Speaker 1: of the more popular Pokemon rumors that I remember when

220
00:13:34,840 --> 00:13:38,920
Speaker 1: I was growing up was this rumor that the Japanese

221
00:13:39,040 --> 00:13:44,319
Speaker 1: version of Pokemon was substantially more graphic than it's American counterpart.

222
00:13:44,720 --> 00:13:48,240
Speaker 1: That like, when you watched the anime, the real anime

223
00:13:48,360 --> 00:13:52,800
Speaker 1: from Japan, that motherfucker is just filled with violence and

224
00:13:52,800 --> 00:13:56,000
Speaker 1: in blood and gore, and occasionally you could see Nurse

225
00:13:56,120 --> 00:14:01,120
Speaker 1: Jenny's titties. It was it was supposedly like in Staneley graphic,

226
00:14:01,200 --> 00:14:04,199
Speaker 1: and as it turns out that that was partially true.

227
00:14:04,240 --> 00:14:06,920
Speaker 1: I did some research and there was definitely some blood

228
00:14:07,320 --> 00:14:10,439
Speaker 1: and more indication of the Pokemon actually being hurt. There

229
00:14:10,440 --> 00:14:14,640
Speaker 1: were Pokemon that were decapitated, cutting half and ship at times,

230
00:14:14,840 --> 00:14:17,280
Speaker 1: but it wasn't as extreme as we had been led

231
00:14:17,320 --> 00:14:19,480
Speaker 1: to believe, do you know what I mean? It wasn't

232
00:14:19,880 --> 00:14:22,520
Speaker 1: that when they cut them in half, they weren't like intestines,

233
00:14:22,600 --> 00:14:25,560
Speaker 1: weren't like flowing out into the into the grass. It

234
00:14:25,680 --> 00:14:29,800
Speaker 1: was more of just like, oh, they're actually real repercussions

235
00:14:29,840 --> 00:14:33,600
Speaker 1: for some of these pokey battles. That said, I don't

236
00:14:33,680 --> 00:14:36,720
Speaker 1: think you ever could see any of Nurse Jenny's uh

237
00:14:37,160 --> 00:14:39,240
Speaker 1: meat on Maine, you know what I mean? She wasn't

238
00:14:39,280 --> 00:14:43,120
Speaker 1: showing no meat on Maine, oh, Nurse Jenny. And that's

239
00:14:43,160 --> 00:14:45,960
Speaker 1: a shame that that really is a shame because we

240
00:14:46,000 --> 00:14:49,680
Speaker 1: could have all used a little Nurse Jenny titty during

241
00:14:49,840 --> 00:14:52,520
Speaker 1: Y two K Nothing would have comforted in me more,

242
00:14:52,680 --> 00:14:55,080
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. I was stressing of me

243
00:14:55,160 --> 00:14:58,680
Speaker 1: and my family were buying up cans of corn and

244
00:14:58,720 --> 00:15:02,080
Speaker 1: beans at the possible ability that the computers were shut down,

245
00:15:02,400 --> 00:15:05,240
Speaker 1: and boy would I have I have slept a little

246
00:15:05,240 --> 00:15:09,040
Speaker 1: easier knowing that Nurse Jenny had had some some nudes

247
00:15:09,120 --> 00:15:11,720
Speaker 1: out there, you know what I mean. So still not

248
00:15:11,840 --> 00:15:14,080
Speaker 1: a lot of evidence of it being demonic, as it

249
00:15:14,160 --> 00:15:17,400
Speaker 1: is more an example of human beings maing grossly obsessive

250
00:15:17,440 --> 00:15:20,440
Speaker 1: to the point of hurting ourselves, which maybe is just

251
00:15:20,640 --> 00:15:24,120
Speaker 1: the devil hiding in plain sight. I guess, damn, that's

252
00:15:24,120 --> 00:15:27,240
Speaker 1: pretty deep. I don't know. The last thing that it

253
00:15:27,360 --> 00:15:29,640
Speaker 1: got me wondering about, and this is the last thing

254
00:15:29,680 --> 00:15:33,400
Speaker 1: I'll say on this matter, is it made me curious.

255
00:15:33,400 --> 00:15:35,360
Speaker 1: And this is something I think I've long wondered, and

256
00:15:35,480 --> 00:15:39,240
Speaker 1: maybe we've all long wondered, is what happens inside of

257
00:15:39,280 --> 00:15:41,920
Speaker 1: those pokey bowls? Do you know what I mean? For

258
00:15:42,000 --> 00:15:45,520
Speaker 1: those of us unfamiliar with the way that pokemon works, basically,

259
00:15:45,560 --> 00:15:50,520
Speaker 1: the pokemon are allowed to roam freely under their master's

260
00:15:50,560 --> 00:15:54,040
Speaker 1: will out in the world. Well, first they're free, then

261
00:15:54,040 --> 00:15:57,120
Speaker 1: a master breaks their spirit and locks them in a

262
00:15:57,160 --> 00:16:00,000
Speaker 1: poke ball. And then at the point that they're fully

263
00:16:00,360 --> 00:16:04,520
Speaker 1: turned into animal slaves, they are called from those pokey

264
00:16:04,560 --> 00:16:07,640
Speaker 1: balls to to fight other Pokemon, and then they're called

265
00:16:07,680 --> 00:16:10,840
Speaker 1: back into the balls. Whether they win or lose the balls,

266
00:16:10,880 --> 00:16:14,360
Speaker 1: there's no reward for winning that fight. They pretty much

267
00:16:14,440 --> 00:16:17,240
Speaker 1: get treated like ship at all times. But it got

268
00:16:17,280 --> 00:16:21,080
Speaker 1: me wondering what actually happens inside of the poke balls.

269
00:16:21,120 --> 00:16:23,840
Speaker 1: For any X Men fans, this is where my brain goes.

270
00:16:24,200 --> 00:16:27,280
Speaker 1: You know that there are some suggestions that Cyclops does

271
00:16:27,360 --> 00:16:31,880
Speaker 1: not actually shoot lasers from his eyeballs, but instead his

272
00:16:32,120 --> 00:16:36,200
Speaker 1: eyes are a portal to a dimension exploding with energy.

273
00:16:36,560 --> 00:16:40,160
Speaker 1: So when he opens his eyes, he is merely connecting

274
00:16:40,280 --> 00:16:44,840
Speaker 1: us to this much more sinister, hellish dimension, and that

275
00:16:45,040 --> 00:16:48,400
Speaker 1: is what's shooting out of his eyeballs. It is not lasers.

276
00:16:48,720 --> 00:16:52,200
Speaker 1: It's like fucking hell fire and brimstone that's firing from

277
00:16:52,200 --> 00:16:56,160
Speaker 1: his fucking face. Is it possible that all said, Is

278
00:16:56,200 --> 00:16:59,920
Speaker 1: it possible that the poke balls are simply a portal

279
00:17:00,360 --> 00:17:05,240
Speaker 1: to an evil, demonic dimension where the animals are trained

280
00:17:05,280 --> 00:17:10,679
Speaker 1: to introduce devil ship to our most innocent selves. WHOA, WHOA.

281
00:17:11,240 --> 00:17:15,040
Speaker 1: Is it possible that that's what happened? What's happening? Or alternatively,

282
00:17:15,520 --> 00:17:19,320
Speaker 1: is that creature dude just mad at Pokemon because he's

283
00:17:19,359 --> 00:17:23,120
Speaker 1: in a loveless marriage and his pains is weird. It's

284
00:17:23,119 --> 00:17:26,920
Speaker 1: hard to know. Perhaps we'll never know, but I think

285
00:17:27,080 --> 00:17:30,000
Speaker 1: that pretty much covers all of the questions that were

286
00:17:30,040 --> 00:17:33,000
Speaker 1: put in front of me. I hope this makes you feel,

287
00:17:33,560 --> 00:17:37,240
Speaker 1: I guess, more confident, Demetrius. Maybe you'll go take down

288
00:17:37,280 --> 00:17:39,840
Speaker 1: your mother. Maybe you'll finally be able to challenge her

289
00:17:39,880 --> 00:17:43,480
Speaker 1: and be like, Mom, give me my fucking Pokemon cards back.

290
00:17:43,920 --> 00:17:48,240
Speaker 1: I'm forty six years old and I want my goddamn Pokemon.

291
00:17:50,359 --> 00:17:52,320
Speaker 1: I don't know why you would be forty six in

292
00:17:52,320 --> 00:17:56,240
Speaker 1: this story. That really implies that you were way too

293
00:17:56,280 --> 00:17:59,600
Speaker 1: old to be dealing in Pokemon cards at the time

294
00:17:59,600 --> 00:18:01,760
Speaker 1: that you were dealing with them. But that's what I

295
00:18:01,800 --> 00:18:05,840
Speaker 1: picked your forty six, Demetrius, and I'm not gonna change

296
00:18:05,840 --> 00:18:08,560
Speaker 1: my mind. You could write me letters. You could try

297
00:18:08,560 --> 00:18:11,120
Speaker 1: to to show me your I D. You could send

298
00:18:11,119 --> 00:18:14,320
Speaker 1: me a copy of your birth certificate. You forty six bitch,

299
00:18:14,520 --> 00:18:17,359
Speaker 1: and I know there's nothing you can do about it.

300
00:18:17,680 --> 00:18:20,320
Speaker 1: That said, I really appreciate you writing to me, and

301
00:18:20,359 --> 00:18:23,719
Speaker 1: I appreciate all you stupid horrors for writing to me.

302
00:18:23,840 --> 00:18:26,400
Speaker 1: It it makes nothing makes me happier than to read

303
00:18:26,440 --> 00:18:29,399
Speaker 1: your messages. If you want to send me messages about

304
00:18:29,440 --> 00:18:34,119
Speaker 1: demonic anime and and bullshit that your mother probably says

305
00:18:34,200 --> 00:18:38,760
Speaker 1: in relation to those demonic enemies, please send those messages

306
00:18:39,040 --> 00:18:43,160
Speaker 1: to my mama pod at gmail dot com. I would

307
00:18:43,240 --> 00:18:47,080
Speaker 1: love to hear from you. Do Die, Do Die. If

308
00:18:47,160 --> 00:18:49,720
