WEBVTT - Pika-choose The Devil: Motherf*ckin Mini Episode

0:00:03.480 --> 0:00:15.360
<v Speaker 1>Motherfucking many years, so motherfucking many years. So yep, yep,

0:00:15.560 --> 0:00:18.840
<v Speaker 1>there it is. There it is. Ladies and gentlemen, Welcome

0:00:18.880 --> 0:00:24.159
<v Speaker 1>to another phenomenal episode of My Mama Told Me, the

0:00:24.280 --> 0:00:27.960
<v Speaker 1>podcast where we dive deep, deep into the pockets of

0:00:28.040 --> 0:00:32.040
<v Speaker 1>black conspiracy theories and we finally work to prove that

0:00:32.159 --> 0:00:37.479
<v Speaker 1>theories that you the listeners have at home. It is

0:00:37.600 --> 0:00:41.440
<v Speaker 1>time to hear your thoughts, the things that you send

0:00:41.520 --> 0:00:45.479
<v Speaker 1>to me. He I don't know what that song is,

0:00:45.600 --> 0:00:48.519
<v Speaker 1>but it's it's a goddamn classic. If I could, if

0:00:48.680 --> 0:00:51.560
<v Speaker 1>if I'm being honest, I might have wrote the new

0:00:52.200 --> 0:00:54.400
<v Speaker 1>do a Leaper song. You know what I mean. I

0:00:54.400 --> 0:00:57.080
<v Speaker 1>don't want to be the star in this situation. I

0:00:57.160 --> 0:00:59.560
<v Speaker 1>just want to send that to do a Leaper and

0:00:59.640 --> 0:01:02.920
<v Speaker 1>let her do. Let her do alipa her thing with it.

0:01:03.080 --> 0:01:05.800
<v Speaker 1>You know what I mean? Do you do a lipa?

0:01:05.920 --> 0:01:09.080
<v Speaker 1>That's what I always say. Anyway, I'm here to talk

0:01:09.120 --> 0:01:12.920
<v Speaker 1>about actual funny ship and interesting ship that you all

0:01:12.959 --> 0:01:15.480
<v Speaker 1>send me. And boy, oh boy, do I have a

0:01:15.520 --> 0:01:19.680
<v Speaker 1>good one today. This message, this I guess, uh theory,

0:01:19.800 --> 0:01:22.600
<v Speaker 1>let's call it a theory based on the premise of

0:01:22.600 --> 0:01:27.440
<v Speaker 1>this podcast. We'll call it a conspiracy theory. Perhaps this

0:01:27.520 --> 0:01:31.440
<v Speaker 1>conspiracy theory comes to me from a gentleman named Demetrius.

0:01:31.480 --> 0:01:34.960
<v Speaker 1>He preferred to be called Demetrius, and Demetrius sent me

0:01:35.640 --> 0:01:39.119
<v Speaker 1>a message. He did not record it. Apparently he similarly

0:01:39.200 --> 0:01:41.360
<v Speaker 1>has a bit of a speech impediment and is a

0:01:41.360 --> 0:01:46.240
<v Speaker 1>little shy about me hearing that sweet that sweet snaggle puss.

0:01:46.319 --> 0:01:48.640
<v Speaker 1>You know what I mean, that sweet parcel mouth. He

0:01:48.680 --> 0:01:50.720
<v Speaker 1>didn't want me to hear it, but he said, my

0:01:50.800 --> 0:01:56.120
<v Speaker 1>mama told me that Pokemon is the devil. That's what

0:01:56.200 --> 0:01:58.560
<v Speaker 1>Demetrius said, and he goes on to say a bunch

0:01:58.600 --> 0:02:01.760
<v Speaker 1>of stuff he said. Backstory on this, I much like

0:02:01.800 --> 0:02:04.680
<v Speaker 1>other children collected Pokemon shipped back when it hit the

0:02:04.720 --> 0:02:07.920
<v Speaker 1>scene in the US, and I was in grade school

0:02:07.960 --> 0:02:10.359
<v Speaker 1>at the time. If you didn't funk with Pokemon, you

0:02:10.440 --> 0:02:12.480
<v Speaker 1>were the weird kid. Or maybe I was just a

0:02:12.480 --> 0:02:14.799
<v Speaker 1>geeky motherfucker and I didn't realize that at the time.

0:02:14.840 --> 0:02:17.799
<v Speaker 1>Either way, For years, I was racking up cards and

0:02:17.919 --> 0:02:20.640
<v Speaker 1>merch playing the Nintendo games, watching the show the whole

0:02:20.720 --> 0:02:24.120
<v Speaker 1>nine I was a black ass catchman. You couldn't tell

0:02:24.160 --> 0:02:27.320
<v Speaker 1>me ship. Then out of nowhere, some minister I don't

0:02:27.320 --> 0:02:30.320
<v Speaker 1>remember who it was got up on national television and

0:02:30.360 --> 0:02:34.120
<v Speaker 1>went full on fire and brimstone about Pokemon from the pulpit.

0:02:34.440 --> 0:02:37.200
<v Speaker 1>My mom gets ahold of this and then has me

0:02:37.280 --> 0:02:40.160
<v Speaker 1>back up all my Pokemon and throw it away. Her

0:02:40.200 --> 0:02:43.080
<v Speaker 1>answer was, we ain't letting the devil up in our house.

0:02:43.280 --> 0:02:45.840
<v Speaker 1>That sounds like a Kanye lyric, and I appreciate that.

0:02:46.240 --> 0:02:49.919
<v Speaker 1>My question to you, Lanston, what could compel a man,

0:02:50.000 --> 0:02:52.880
<v Speaker 1>a grown ass clergyman who has devoted his life to

0:02:52.960 --> 0:02:55.680
<v Speaker 1>preaching the Gospel to the hearts of mankind to come

0:02:55.720 --> 0:02:59.120
<v Speaker 1>after some imaginary Japanese characters from a game that if

0:02:59.160 --> 0:03:01.639
<v Speaker 1>you played beyond the age of sixteen, people would look

0:03:01.680 --> 0:03:05.440
<v Speaker 1>at you funny, but their immediate reaction isn't to reach

0:03:05.480 --> 0:03:08.320
<v Speaker 1>for the Holy water, maybe the pepper spray, but not

0:03:08.480 --> 0:03:13.040
<v Speaker 1>the crucifix. What kind of mysterious demons is that yellow

0:03:13.120 --> 0:03:17.640
<v Speaker 1>bitch Pikachu hiding in them poke balls? What kind of

0:03:17.760 --> 0:03:21.359
<v Speaker 1>root is that fat bitch Jigglypuff trying to put on

0:03:21.400 --> 0:03:25.280
<v Speaker 1>God's children? Help me out lengths and many apologizes for

0:03:25.400 --> 0:03:27.920
<v Speaker 1>making fun of my speech im betterment, which I didn't

0:03:27.960 --> 0:03:31.959
<v Speaker 1>even read that part of the email, But it's important

0:03:31.960 --> 0:03:34.560
<v Speaker 1>that you know I'm being as transparent with you all

0:03:34.639 --> 0:03:37.960
<v Speaker 1>as I possibly can at all times. That said, Demetrius,

0:03:38.040 --> 0:03:41.560
<v Speaker 1>I would love to dig into this conspiracy theory as

0:03:41.720 --> 0:03:45.240
<v Speaker 1>I was a bit of a Pokemon fanatic myself. Now

0:03:45.280 --> 0:03:47.960
<v Speaker 1>I was collecting basketball cards, and as a kid, I

0:03:48.000 --> 0:03:50.600
<v Speaker 1>was much more of a basketball cards kid. But I

0:03:50.640 --> 0:03:55.160
<v Speaker 1>did love playing Pokemon the game. I enjoyed all Pokemon

0:03:55.360 --> 0:03:59.680
<v Speaker 1>television programming. I was a big Pokemon head. I used

0:03:59.680 --> 0:04:04.000
<v Speaker 1>to those songs like Nobody's Business Boy. I knew all

0:04:04.080 --> 0:04:07.160
<v Speaker 1>one hundred and fifty Pokemon at one point and now

0:04:07.320 --> 0:04:10.320
<v Speaker 1>I could name about twelve of them before I get

0:04:10.360 --> 0:04:13.920
<v Speaker 1>bored and tired and feel like maybe this was all

0:04:14.080 --> 0:04:17.560
<v Speaker 1>just a big stupid ploy by some weird men who

0:04:17.880 --> 0:04:22.880
<v Speaker 1>wanted to draw pictures of animals and animals with human legs,

0:04:22.960 --> 0:04:26.040
<v Speaker 1>you know what I mean. That's pretty much the whole theory.

0:04:26.640 --> 0:04:29.440
<v Speaker 1>The whole thing with Pokemon is like, what if we

0:04:29.560 --> 0:04:32.359
<v Speaker 1>drew uh, what if we drew a rhinoceros but it

0:04:32.440 --> 0:04:35.800
<v Speaker 1>had people legs, that'd be pretty cool. And then they

0:04:35.880 --> 0:04:37.720
<v Speaker 1>drew it and then they were like, yeah, that's a

0:04:38.480 --> 0:04:42.960
<v Speaker 1>that's that's rhino dog. And you're like, yeah, I guess

0:04:43.000 --> 0:04:45.760
<v Speaker 1>I gotta collect that motherfucker. It's pretty tight. But as

0:04:45.800 --> 0:04:49.640
<v Speaker 1>foolish let's get back to the conspiracy theory. As foolish

0:04:49.680 --> 0:04:53.760
<v Speaker 1>as this conspiracy theory sounds, it does remind me of

0:04:53.960 --> 0:04:58.600
<v Speaker 1>exactly how powerful pokemon Mania was during the late nineties.

0:04:58.640 --> 0:05:02.200
<v Speaker 1>I mean, Pokemon cards at one point were the most

0:05:02.279 --> 0:05:04.800
<v Speaker 1>valuable thing in the world. They were more valuable than

0:05:04.839 --> 0:05:08.560
<v Speaker 1>pussy and pt cruisers. I would have killed my neighbor's

0:05:08.720 --> 0:05:11.960
<v Speaker 1>dog to get my hands on a hologram Dragon Night,

0:05:12.040 --> 0:05:14.240
<v Speaker 1>do you know what I mean. I would have done

0:05:14.240 --> 0:05:16.960
<v Speaker 1>anything to just get a taste of some of that

0:05:17.320 --> 0:05:21.920
<v Speaker 1>that sweet Pokemon magic. That said, I did do some research,

0:05:22.000 --> 0:05:26.000
<v Speaker 1>and I tracked down the video in reference, the exact

0:05:26.160 --> 0:05:29.400
<v Speaker 1>video that you're referring to here, Demetrius, and I'm gonna

0:05:29.440 --> 0:05:31.680
<v Speaker 1>play a little bit of it now because I think

0:05:31.720 --> 0:05:35.200
<v Speaker 1>it's important. It's gonna help lay some context for exactly

0:05:35.200 --> 0:05:40.239
<v Speaker 1>why this preacher is so upset. Important for the church

0:05:40.360 --> 0:05:42.960
<v Speaker 1>to deal with issues as they come to the forefront

0:05:43.000 --> 0:05:46.040
<v Speaker 1>in society, said Son, what is that? One morning? He said,

0:05:46.040 --> 0:05:49.880
<v Speaker 1>that's up, that's Pokemon. Son. I found out that Pokemon

0:05:50.000 --> 0:05:56.160
<v Speaker 1>mains pocket monster. Pokemon is Pokemon plural or incredible creatures

0:05:56.279 --> 0:05:59.440
<v Speaker 1>that share the world with humans. Each has his own

0:05:59.440 --> 0:06:03.119
<v Speaker 1>fighting to realities. Some grow and ebolb and even more

0:06:03.200 --> 0:06:08.400
<v Speaker 1>powerful creatures. The children are developing relationships with all these

0:06:08.440 --> 0:06:15.960
<v Speaker 1>Pokemon creatures, little reclusive, power filled monsters. Why should they

0:06:16.000 --> 0:06:19.599
<v Speaker 1>carry these monsters in their pocket? They say, The Pokemon

0:06:19.760 --> 0:06:23.640
<v Speaker 1>whole effort is to train children how to become the

0:06:23.760 --> 0:06:27.240
<v Speaker 1>number one Pokemon master in the world. You follow up

0:06:27.240 --> 0:06:28.640
<v Speaker 1>through the New Age teach and you find out the

0:06:28.680 --> 0:06:32.800
<v Speaker 1>masters of those who take control of spirits in the

0:06:32.920 --> 0:06:35.839
<v Speaker 1>dark realm, and they tell those spirits what to do.

0:06:36.600 --> 0:06:41.760
<v Speaker 1>The child, at some point becomes capable of taking these

0:06:41.800 --> 0:06:45.920
<v Speaker 1>powers and channeling them through their mind, through their arms,

0:06:46.520 --> 0:06:49.800
<v Speaker 1>or through their power sources. Power sources, of course, are

0:06:49.839 --> 0:06:51.359
<v Speaker 1>many of the symbols that they pick up from the

0:06:51.360 --> 0:06:55.760
<v Speaker 1>Pokemon paraphernalia. So so Pokemon is a game they teach

0:06:55.839 --> 0:06:58.120
<v Speaker 1>us children how to enter into the world of witchcraft,

0:06:58.200 --> 0:07:01.840
<v Speaker 1>how to cast spell, how to use psychic phenomena, how

0:07:01.880 --> 0:07:05.640
<v Speaker 1>to but work supernatural powers against their enemies, how to

0:07:05.720 --> 0:07:09.479
<v Speaker 1>fantasy role play Pokemon world. There's a world a little

0:07:09.520 --> 0:07:12.720
<v Speaker 1>bit demonic of the satanic, But why you might not

0:07:12.800 --> 0:07:16.320
<v Speaker 1>take it quite seriously. I assure you that demons take

0:07:16.400 --> 0:07:19.880
<v Speaker 1>it quite seriously. Satan takes it quite seriously. Your children

0:07:19.960 --> 0:07:22.280
<v Speaker 1>knew need to know those a devil and he hates

0:07:22.360 --> 0:07:25.680
<v Speaker 1>him and he wants to ruin their life. There we go,

0:07:26.000 --> 0:07:28.640
<v Speaker 1>There we go. I think we learned a lot. There's

0:07:28.680 --> 0:07:31.040
<v Speaker 1>the devil. He wants to ruin your life, and there's

0:07:31.160 --> 0:07:36.000
<v Speaker 1>no better way to ruin your life than through jiggly Puff,

0:07:36.360 --> 0:07:42.080
<v Speaker 1>that fat bitch with his microphone singing a Sirens song,

0:07:42.680 --> 0:07:46.240
<v Speaker 1>a Satan on him in your ears. That's how the

0:07:46.280 --> 0:07:50.120
<v Speaker 1>devil's gonna get you, children, and Pokemon is helping to

0:07:50.320 --> 0:07:53.520
<v Speaker 1>do it. Now, the video in reference comes from this,

0:07:53.760 --> 0:07:56.880
<v Speaker 1>you know, as you can plainly hear this white mega

0:07:56.920 --> 0:07:59.520
<v Speaker 1>pastor whose name I didn't care to even look up,

0:08:00.000 --> 0:08:03.080
<v Speaker 1>reaching or presort of preaching about the dangers of allowing

0:08:03.080 --> 0:08:06.880
<v Speaker 1>Pokemon into your children's lives. Basically, his biggest hang up

0:08:07.000 --> 0:08:10.480
<v Speaker 1>is that the child controlling the powers of the monsters

0:08:10.520 --> 0:08:14.720
<v Speaker 1>in their pockets allows them to connect with the devil.

0:08:15.120 --> 0:08:18.680
<v Speaker 1>The devil being connected to the monsters, that that he's

0:08:18.720 --> 0:08:22.760
<v Speaker 1>equating the Pokemon and they're casting of spells or wielding

0:08:22.800 --> 0:08:26.840
<v Speaker 1>a power to the same work that Satan does. Now,

0:08:26.880 --> 0:08:32.480
<v Speaker 1>although this language from this guy is particularly crazy. It's

0:08:32.559 --> 0:08:37.400
<v Speaker 1>not completely isolated. He wasn't one of one at this point.

0:08:37.720 --> 0:08:42.560
<v Speaker 1>In fact, in there was an article from the Associated Press.

0:08:42.640 --> 0:08:46.400
<v Speaker 1>That's right, the A p A. I think, uh pretty

0:08:47.080 --> 0:08:51.920
<v Speaker 1>respected source and nowadays or certainly has been for many years.

0:08:51.920 --> 0:08:55.480
<v Speaker 1>But the Associated Press had an article that they wrote

0:08:55.480 --> 0:09:00.880
<v Speaker 1>titled Pokemonsters up Crime, and in that article they were

0:09:00.960 --> 0:09:05.960
<v Speaker 1>clount incidents of fights, of robberies, and even stabbings related

0:09:06.000 --> 0:09:11.000
<v Speaker 1>to Pokemon cards, specifically amongst school children. The article even

0:09:11.040 --> 0:09:15.560
<v Speaker 1>included safety tips they told they talked about like kids

0:09:15.559 --> 0:09:19.440
<v Speaker 1>being stabbed in bathrooms and hit with trash cans all

0:09:19.480 --> 0:09:23.400
<v Speaker 1>while they fight over Pokemon cards, rare Pokemon cards. Sometimes

0:09:23.400 --> 0:09:26.880
<v Speaker 1>not rare Pokemon cards. Some kids got fucking shanked for

0:09:27.200 --> 0:09:32.440
<v Speaker 1>seventy sent like basic bitch pack of cards. The point

0:09:32.559 --> 0:09:36.560
<v Speaker 1>is the article even included safety tips for how parents

0:09:36.600 --> 0:09:41.400
<v Speaker 1>can handle their children's safety in relation to their card collections,

0:09:41.440 --> 0:09:44.040
<v Speaker 1>basically telling a bunch of parents not to let their

0:09:44.120 --> 0:09:47.720
<v Speaker 1>kids leave the house with the Pokemon cards, not to

0:09:47.840 --> 0:09:51.320
<v Speaker 1>invite friends over and leave them alone in a room

0:09:51.400 --> 0:09:54.800
<v Speaker 1>where the Pokemon cards are being kept, not to allow

0:09:55.000 --> 0:09:58.520
<v Speaker 1>kids to to buy more than a a certain amount

0:09:58.600 --> 0:10:01.600
<v Speaker 1>of Pokemon cards that are time all with the possibility

0:10:01.679 --> 0:10:06.559
<v Speaker 1>that these cards might introduce violence and danger into their

0:10:06.600 --> 0:10:11.280
<v Speaker 1>lives sound pretty demonic to me. Sounds pretty of the

0:10:11.320 --> 0:10:17.280
<v Speaker 1>Devil if you ask me. And this this is interesting.

0:10:17.360 --> 0:10:21.240
<v Speaker 1>Similarly in n Burger King, you know, uh, the King

0:10:21.280 --> 0:10:25.160
<v Speaker 1>of Burger's, which also sounds like it might have some

0:10:25.160 --> 0:10:27.840
<v Speaker 1>some connections to the Devil, but we'll we'll get into

0:10:27.880 --> 0:10:31.600
<v Speaker 1>that on another day. But the Burger King, the Burger King.

0:10:31.640 --> 0:10:33.559
<v Speaker 1>I don't know if anybody is referred to it as

0:10:33.679 --> 0:10:37.240
<v Speaker 1>the Burger King. I think it's just regular as Burger King. Anyway,

0:10:37.280 --> 0:10:40.719
<v Speaker 1>Burger King had to recall a bunch of Pokemon accessories

0:10:40.760 --> 0:10:45.520
<v Speaker 1>after a small child suffocated to death after putting one

0:10:45.559 --> 0:10:48.480
<v Speaker 1>of their pokey balls, one of the poke ball toys

0:10:48.520 --> 0:10:52.520
<v Speaker 1>that they were giving away with their meals, on its face. Basically,

0:10:52.800 --> 0:10:55.360
<v Speaker 1>the baby put the poke ball half a pokey ball

0:10:55.440 --> 0:10:57.960
<v Speaker 1>on its face and then it died. And then Burger

0:10:58.040 --> 0:11:00.679
<v Speaker 1>King had to be like, hey, y'all, y'all don't get

0:11:00.679 --> 0:11:04.679
<v Speaker 1>poke balls no more because because this baby couldn't handle it.

0:11:04.920 --> 0:11:09.200
<v Speaker 1>So now everybody nobody gets poke balls. Now. What feels

0:11:09.280 --> 0:11:11.360
<v Speaker 1>like is being missed in a lot of these articles

0:11:11.400 --> 0:11:14.800
<v Speaker 1>and reports. Is how many of these situations could have

0:11:14.880 --> 0:11:18.880
<v Speaker 1>been controlled by the adults in these children's lives. Now,

0:11:18.880 --> 0:11:22.120
<v Speaker 1>I don't want to blame any parents of a dead child.

0:11:22.200 --> 0:11:24.360
<v Speaker 1>That's not something I'm into, you know what I mean.

0:11:24.760 --> 0:11:28.160
<v Speaker 1>I ain't doing that and that's not my place. Yeah,

0:11:28.320 --> 0:11:31.360
<v Speaker 1>if if a baby dies, I'm not gonna be like, hi,

0:11:31.800 --> 0:11:34.000
<v Speaker 1>you should have did more, And I'm not gonna do that.

0:11:34.040 --> 0:11:37.200
<v Speaker 1>But unless the poke ball is attaching to the child's

0:11:37.200 --> 0:11:40.480
<v Speaker 1>face like one of those flying pussies in the Alien movie,

0:11:40.920 --> 0:11:44.679
<v Speaker 1>you should probably be able to stop them from smothering themselves.

0:11:44.840 --> 0:11:47.600
<v Speaker 1>I don't know if it's your fault, but you could

0:11:47.640 --> 0:11:50.960
<v Speaker 1>have done something similarly. Quite a bit of the main

0:11:51.040 --> 0:11:55.800
<v Speaker 1>year around the pokey paraphernalia was driven by grown men

0:11:55.880 --> 0:11:59.800
<v Speaker 1>and women who were spending insane amounts of money, oh

0:12:00.040 --> 0:12:04.679
<v Speaker 1>for and over again, trying to collect these items, just

0:12:04.800 --> 0:12:08.440
<v Speaker 1>insane amounts of money to create sexless rooms and their

0:12:08.480 --> 0:12:13.520
<v Speaker 1>sheds with pictures of cartoon children holding electric rats. It's

0:12:13.600 --> 0:12:18.480
<v Speaker 1>it was a wild time. The Willennium really sobered us

0:12:18.559 --> 0:12:21.680
<v Speaker 1>up quite a bit. Long story short, It just feels

0:12:21.720 --> 0:12:27.520
<v Speaker 1>weird to call something demonic Before we point to consumerism

0:12:27.559 --> 0:12:31.640
<v Speaker 1>as a more likely cause for concern relating to Pokemon.

0:12:32.120 --> 0:12:34.560
<v Speaker 1>I don't know if this is as much the devil

0:12:35.040 --> 0:12:40.200
<v Speaker 1>as money and the want for expensive, rare things is

0:12:40.240 --> 0:12:44.360
<v Speaker 1>the devil, and Pokemon just happened to be a symptom

0:12:44.440 --> 0:12:46.960
<v Speaker 1>of that demonic work. But who do I what do

0:12:47.040 --> 0:12:49.640
<v Speaker 1>I know? I'm just a motherfucker who talks alone and

0:12:50.160 --> 0:12:54.360
<v Speaker 1>uh in his baby's nursery. Uh. You know, my my

0:12:54.480 --> 0:12:57.040
<v Speaker 1>kid isn't here yet, so I get to keep recording

0:12:57.040 --> 0:13:01.119
<v Speaker 1>my podcast next to uh, a bunch of unpacked boxes

0:13:01.200 --> 0:13:04.440
<v Speaker 1>and a pretty well built crib. I'll say that we

0:13:04.520 --> 0:13:06.880
<v Speaker 1>put the crib together, and I we built the ship

0:13:07.000 --> 0:13:09.040
<v Speaker 1>out of it, and I hope, I hope it's a

0:13:09.080 --> 0:13:13.040
<v Speaker 1>crib that stays sturdy and strong and never is a

0:13:13.040 --> 0:13:16.560
<v Speaker 1>place where my baby suffocates it herself with a poke ball.

0:13:16.760 --> 0:13:21.120
<v Speaker 1>That's my main wish. Anyway, This talk of Pokemon being

0:13:21.160 --> 0:13:26.000
<v Speaker 1>demonic did, however, remind me of a very popular rumor

0:13:26.320 --> 0:13:29.040
<v Speaker 1>from when I was growing up. I don't know if

0:13:29.040 --> 0:13:31.679
<v Speaker 1>you guys had a bunch of Pokemon rumors, but one

0:13:31.679 --> 0:13:34.839
<v Speaker 1>of the more popular Pokemon rumors that I remember when

0:13:34.840 --> 0:13:38.920
<v Speaker 1>I was growing up was this rumor that the Japanese

0:13:39.040 --> 0:13:44.319
<v Speaker 1>version of Pokemon was substantially more graphic than it's American counterpart.

0:13:44.720 --> 0:13:48.240
<v Speaker 1>That like, when you watched the anime, the real anime

0:13:48.360 --> 0:13:52.800
<v Speaker 1>from Japan, that motherfucker is just filled with violence and

0:13:52.800 --> 0:13:56.000
<v Speaker 1>in blood and gore, and occasionally you could see Nurse

0:13:56.120 --> 0:14:01.120
<v Speaker 1>Jenny's titties. It was it was supposedly like in Staneley graphic,

0:14:01.200 --> 0:14:04.199
<v Speaker 1>and as it turns out that that was partially true.

0:14:04.240 --> 0:14:06.920
<v Speaker 1>I did some research and there was definitely some blood

0:14:07.320 --> 0:14:10.439
<v Speaker 1>and more indication of the Pokemon actually being hurt. There

0:14:10.440 --> 0:14:14.640
<v Speaker 1>were Pokemon that were decapitated, cutting half and ship at times,

0:14:14.840 --> 0:14:17.280
<v Speaker 1>but it wasn't as extreme as we had been led

0:14:17.320 --> 0:14:19.480
<v Speaker 1>to believe, do you know what I mean? It wasn't

0:14:19.880 --> 0:14:22.520
<v Speaker 1>that when they cut them in half, they weren't like intestines,

0:14:22.600 --> 0:14:25.560
<v Speaker 1>weren't like flowing out into the into the grass. It

0:14:25.680 --> 0:14:29.800
<v Speaker 1>was more of just like, oh, they're actually real repercussions

0:14:29.840 --> 0:14:33.600
<v Speaker 1>for some of these pokey battles. That said, I don't

0:14:33.680 --> 0:14:36.720
<v Speaker 1>think you ever could see any of Nurse Jenny's uh

0:14:37.160 --> 0:14:39.240
<v Speaker 1>meat on Maine, you know what I mean? She wasn't

0:14:39.280 --> 0:14:43.120
<v Speaker 1>showing no meat on Maine, oh, Nurse Jenny. And that's

0:14:43.160 --> 0:14:45.960
<v Speaker 1>a shame that that really is a shame because we

0:14:46.000 --> 0:14:49.680
<v Speaker 1>could have all used a little Nurse Jenny titty during

0:14:49.840 --> 0:14:52.520
<v Speaker 1>Y two K Nothing would have comforted in me more,

0:14:52.680 --> 0:14:55.080
<v Speaker 1>you know what I mean. I was stressing of me

0:14:55.160 --> 0:14:58.680
<v Speaker 1>and my family were buying up cans of corn and

0:14:58.720 --> 0:15:02.080
<v Speaker 1>beans at the possible ability that the computers were shut down,

0:15:02.400 --> 0:15:05.240
<v Speaker 1>and boy would I have I have slept a little

0:15:05.240 --> 0:15:09.040
<v Speaker 1>easier knowing that Nurse Jenny had had some some nudes

0:15:09.120 --> 0:15:11.720
<v Speaker 1>out there, you know what I mean. So still not

0:15:11.840 --> 0:15:14.080
<v Speaker 1>a lot of evidence of it being demonic, as it

0:15:14.160 --> 0:15:17.400
<v Speaker 1>is more an example of human beings maing grossly obsessive

0:15:17.440 --> 0:15:20.440
<v Speaker 1>to the point of hurting ourselves, which maybe is just

0:15:20.640 --> 0:15:24.120
<v Speaker 1>the devil hiding in plain sight. I guess, damn, that's

0:15:24.120 --> 0:15:27.240
<v Speaker 1>pretty deep. I don't know. The last thing that it

0:15:27.360 --> 0:15:29.640
<v Speaker 1>got me wondering about, and this is the last thing

0:15:29.680 --> 0:15:33.400
<v Speaker 1>I'll say on this matter, is it made me curious.

0:15:33.400 --> 0:15:35.360
<v Speaker 1>And this is something I think I've long wondered, and

0:15:35.480 --> 0:15:39.240
<v Speaker 1>maybe we've all long wondered, is what happens inside of

0:15:39.280 --> 0:15:41.920
<v Speaker 1>those pokey bowls? Do you know what I mean? For

0:15:42.000 --> 0:15:45.520
<v Speaker 1>those of us unfamiliar with the way that pokemon works, basically,

0:15:45.560 --> 0:15:50.520
<v Speaker 1>the pokemon are allowed to roam freely under their master's

0:15:50.560 --> 0:15:54.040
<v Speaker 1>will out in the world. Well, first they're free, then

0:15:54.040 --> 0:15:57.120
<v Speaker 1>a master breaks their spirit and locks them in a

0:15:57.160 --> 0:16:00.000
<v Speaker 1>poke ball. And then at the point that they're fully

0:16:00.360 --> 0:16:04.520
<v Speaker 1>turned into animal slaves, they are called from those pokey

0:16:04.560 --> 0:16:07.640
<v Speaker 1>balls to to fight other Pokemon, and then they're called

0:16:07.680 --> 0:16:10.840
<v Speaker 1>back into the balls. Whether they win or lose the balls,

0:16:10.880 --> 0:16:14.360
<v Speaker 1>there's no reward for winning that fight. They pretty much

0:16:14.440 --> 0:16:17.240
<v Speaker 1>get treated like ship at all times. But it got

0:16:17.280 --> 0:16:21.080
<v Speaker 1>me wondering what actually happens inside of the poke balls.

0:16:21.120 --> 0:16:23.840
<v Speaker 1>For any X Men fans, this is where my brain goes.

0:16:24.200 --> 0:16:27.280
<v Speaker 1>You know that there are some suggestions that Cyclops does

0:16:27.360 --> 0:16:31.880
<v Speaker 1>not actually shoot lasers from his eyeballs, but instead his

0:16:32.120 --> 0:16:36.200
<v Speaker 1>eyes are a portal to a dimension exploding with energy.

0:16:36.560 --> 0:16:40.160
<v Speaker 1>So when he opens his eyes, he is merely connecting

0:16:40.280 --> 0:16:44.840
<v Speaker 1>us to this much more sinister, hellish dimension, and that

0:16:45.040 --> 0:16:48.400
<v Speaker 1>is what's shooting out of his eyeballs. It is not lasers.

0:16:48.720 --> 0:16:52.200
<v Speaker 1>It's like fucking hell fire and brimstone that's firing from

0:16:52.200 --> 0:16:56.160
<v Speaker 1>his fucking face. Is it possible that all said, Is

0:16:56.200 --> 0:16:59.920
<v Speaker 1>it possible that the poke balls are simply a portal

0:17:00.360 --> 0:17:05.240
<v Speaker 1>to an evil, demonic dimension where the animals are trained

0:17:05.280 --> 0:17:10.679
<v Speaker 1>to introduce devil ship to our most innocent selves. WHOA, WHOA.

0:17:11.240 --> 0:17:15.040
<v Speaker 1>Is it possible that that's what happened? What's happening? Or alternatively,

0:17:15.520 --> 0:17:19.320
<v Speaker 1>is that creature dude just mad at Pokemon because he's

0:17:19.359 --> 0:17:23.120
<v Speaker 1>in a loveless marriage and his pains is weird. It's

0:17:23.119 --> 0:17:26.920
<v Speaker 1>hard to know. Perhaps we'll never know, but I think

0:17:27.080 --> 0:17:30.000
<v Speaker 1>that pretty much covers all of the questions that were

0:17:30.040 --> 0:17:33.000
<v Speaker 1>put in front of me. I hope this makes you feel,

0:17:33.560 --> 0:17:37.240
<v Speaker 1>I guess, more confident, Demetrius. Maybe you'll go take down

0:17:37.280 --> 0:17:39.840
<v Speaker 1>your mother. Maybe you'll finally be able to challenge her

0:17:39.880 --> 0:17:43.480
<v Speaker 1>and be like, Mom, give me my fucking Pokemon cards back.

0:17:43.920 --> 0:17:48.240
<v Speaker 1>I'm forty six years old and I want my goddamn Pokemon.

0:17:50.359 --> 0:17:52.320
<v Speaker 1>I don't know why you would be forty six in

0:17:52.320 --> 0:17:56.240
<v Speaker 1>this story. That really implies that you were way too

0:17:56.280 --> 0:17:59.600
<v Speaker 1>old to be dealing in Pokemon cards at the time

0:17:59.600 --> 0:18:01.760
<v Speaker 1>that you were dealing with them. But that's what I

0:18:01.800 --> 0:18:05.840
<v Speaker 1>picked your forty six, Demetrius, and I'm not gonna change

0:18:05.840 --> 0:18:08.560
<v Speaker 1>my mind. You could write me letters. You could try

0:18:08.560 --> 0:18:11.120
<v Speaker 1>to to show me your I D. You could send

0:18:11.119 --> 0:18:14.320
<v Speaker 1>me a copy of your birth certificate. You forty six bitch,

0:18:14.520 --> 0:18:17.359
<v Speaker 1>and I know there's nothing you can do about it.

0:18:17.680 --> 0:18:20.320
<v Speaker 1>That said, I really appreciate you writing to me, and

0:18:20.359 --> 0:18:23.719
<v Speaker 1>I appreciate all you stupid horrors for writing to me.

0:18:23.840 --> 0:18:26.400
<v Speaker 1>It it makes nothing makes me happier than to read

0:18:26.440 --> 0:18:29.399
<v Speaker 1>your messages. If you want to send me messages about

0:18:29.440 --> 0:18:34.119
<v Speaker 1>demonic anime and and bullshit that your mother probably says

0:18:34.200 --> 0:18:38.760
<v Speaker 1>in relation to those demonic enemies, please send those messages

0:18:39.040 --> 0:18:43.160

0:18:43.240 --> 0:18:47.080
<v Speaker 1>love to hear from you. Do Die, Do Die. If

0:18:47.160 --> 0:18:49.720
<v Speaker 1>nothing would make me happier than to be able to

0:18:49.720 --> 0:18:52.440
<v Speaker 1>to talk about whatever the funk is on your mind.
