Day twelve, 9 00:00:32,800 --> 00:00:36,279 Speaker 1: the twelve days of culture, let's celebrate that. Did this 10 00:00:36,600 --> 00:00:38,839 Speaker 1: kind of roll out the way you expected it to? 11 00:00:39,159 --> 00:00:41,520 Speaker 1: I think I was very surprised, to be honest with you. 12 00:00:41,720 --> 00:00:44,879 Speaker 1: It came out even better than I ever could have dreamed. 13 00:00:45,080 --> 00:00:48,080 Speaker 1: And I think it was whose idea was it to 14 00:00:48,120 --> 00:00:50,159 Speaker 1: do it? Was? It very much a joint thing. It 15 00:00:50,240 --> 00:00:51,800 Speaker 1: was a joint thing. Like I was like, let's do 16 00:00:51,840 --> 00:00:53,640 Speaker 1: it twelve days of something, and then you were like, 17 00:00:53,680 --> 00:00:55,320 Speaker 1: twelve days of culture. And then we were like what 18 00:00:55,360 --> 00:00:56,920 Speaker 1: does that mean? And then we were like let's and 19 00:00:56,920 --> 00:00:58,480 Speaker 1: then you were the one who's like, let's pick out 20 00:00:58,560 --> 00:01:02,840 Speaker 1: dates from history that have contributed gifts. Sometimes when we 21 00:01:02,920 --> 00:01:07,840 Speaker 1: make decisions together, says wow Erat did Hans come up 22 00:01:07,880 --> 00:01:11,920 Speaker 1: with this? Check the Okay, we have a straight man 23 00:01:11,959 --> 00:01:16,000 Speaker 1: who's sort of trying to take credit for your creativity. Interesting. 24 00:01:16,319 --> 00:01:18,840 Speaker 1: I was going to say that oftentimes, whenever we make 25 00:01:19,040 --> 00:01:24,200 Speaker 1: creative decisions together, I literally immediately forget who thought of it. 26 00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:26,440 Speaker 1: But isn't that beautiful that it doesn't matter? Yes, it 27 00:01:26,560 --> 00:01:29,280 Speaker 1: is because I don't think in those terms. I don't 28 00:01:29,319 --> 00:01:31,720 Speaker 1: care about credit at all. When I do get possessive 29 00:01:31,760 --> 00:01:33,640 Speaker 1: about that kind of thing, it's usually when I'm like 30 00:01:33,720 --> 00:01:35,760 Speaker 1: in a bad place with it, when I feel weirdly 31 00:01:35,800 --> 00:01:39,399 Speaker 1: about what's what's what the work is? Does that make sense? Yeah? 32 00:01:39,440 --> 00:01:42,520 Speaker 1: Well I guess like yeah, for sure. Like but for me, 33 00:01:42,560 --> 00:01:46,800 Speaker 1: it's like I would never get irritated about something like 34 00:01:46,840 --> 00:01:49,160 Speaker 1: that unless someone was literally going out of the way 35 00:01:49,200 --> 00:01:51,080 Speaker 1: to be like I came up with this, I thought 36 00:01:51,120 --> 00:01:53,440 Speaker 1: of this, and I was involved equally, I'd be like, well, 37 00:01:53,800 --> 00:01:55,480 Speaker 1: that's not true, why are you saying that? But I 38 00:01:55,520 --> 00:01:57,560 Speaker 1: feel like, especially if they're trying to make money, I've 39 00:01:57,560 --> 00:01:59,600 Speaker 1: been trying to make a buck off of buck off 40 00:01:59,600 --> 00:02:01,800 Speaker 1: of me. And I will get my lawyers. I will 41 00:02:01,800 --> 00:02:04,760 Speaker 1: get my lawyer Seth and Isaac and and they will 42 00:02:04,840 --> 00:02:07,880 Speaker 1: they will they were silent they will kill you. They 43 00:02:07,920 --> 00:02:11,760 Speaker 1: are silent killers. Okay, my lawyers are silent killers. And 44 00:02:11,760 --> 00:02:13,960 Speaker 1: you know what, bone is the same lawyers and they're 45 00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:20,079 Speaker 1: silent killers. So back off to be against each other 46 00:02:20,200 --> 00:02:24,280 Speaker 1: in a lawsuit, in a legal moment in dispute. Honestly, 47 00:02:24,400 --> 00:02:28,040 Speaker 1: hansss check text. Guess what we've moved on. Hans is 48 00:02:28,040 --> 00:02:30,280 Speaker 1: going to sue us. I guess well, Hans, Seth and 49 00:02:30,320 --> 00:02:33,239 Speaker 1: Isaac will kill you. And the words words of Taylor Swift, 50 00:02:33,320 --> 00:02:35,480 Speaker 1: get a good lawyer because you're going to need one, 51 00:02:35,520 --> 00:02:39,239 Speaker 1: because our lawyers are silent killers. Sent you the receipts 52 00:02:39,240 --> 00:02:44,360 Speaker 1: Han says, what the fun all right? What does he say? Screenshots? 53 00:02:45,560 --> 00:02:49,440 Speaker 1: He says, can you make it three Christmas episodes? Or 54 00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:53,640 Speaker 1: about the twelve Days of Culture or about the twelve 55 00:02:53,720 --> 00:02:57,040 Speaker 1: Days of Culture? And then I said, honestly, twelve Days 56 00:02:57,040 --> 00:03:03,320 Speaker 1: of Culture is very funny. So so ok, so I 57 00:03:03,360 --> 00:03:06,720 Speaker 1: guess head of content, Hans, we're eating crow, as they say, 58 00:03:07,480 --> 00:03:12,040 Speaker 1: I hate eating crow.

Why can't you be more 63 00:03:26,919 --> 00:03:28,639 Speaker 1: like us? When we say it doesn't we don't really 64 00:03:28,680 --> 00:03:31,640 Speaker 1: care about who takes credit. I keep telling Hams to 65 00:03:31,680 --> 00:03:35,520 Speaker 1: be more like us. I really do, namely a gay 66 00:03:35,560 --> 00:03:41,160 Speaker 1: man so we can kiss him anyway. Um, let's just 67 00:03:41,240 --> 00:03:44,120 Speaker 1: say that this is the final day of culture and 68 00:03:44,800 --> 00:03:46,600 Speaker 1: why do you ask about the way it panned out 69 00:03:46,560 --> 00:03:49,400 Speaker 1: where you pleasantly surprised as well and thrilled even I 70 00:03:49,400 --> 00:03:52,240 Speaker 1: was gonna say, like, I really didn't know what to expect. 71 00:03:52,360 --> 00:03:55,240 Speaker 1: I just liked because reader, we're just We're gonna let 72 00:03:55,280 --> 00:03:58,560 Speaker 1: you one on some bts.

It was so fun, 74 00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:04,280 Speaker 1: so fun, but we the way it came together was 75 00:04:04,400 --> 00:04:09,840 Speaker 1: a flurry of just like, just like true like and 76 00:04:09,840 --> 00:04:11,880 Speaker 1: in many ways that it's like ideal, that's like what 77 00:04:11,960 --> 00:04:15,040 Speaker 1: I want every creative process to be like, just to 78 00:04:15,040 --> 00:04:17,200 Speaker 1: be free flowing and not and have it not matter. 79 00:04:17,720 --> 00:04:19,680 Speaker 1: But I kind of liked that, not that not that 80 00:04:19,720 --> 00:04:21,520 Speaker 1: twelve days of culture wasn't free flowing, and that's not 81 00:04:21,520 --> 00:04:23,240 Speaker 1: what I'm saying. I'm saying I like that we had 82 00:04:23,520 --> 00:04:26,680 Speaker 1: this space and the air to really think about what 83 00:04:26,760 --> 00:04:28,560 Speaker 1: dates we're going to commit to for the twelve days 84 00:04:28,560 --> 00:04:32,920 Speaker 1: of Culture, right. And also it's kind of become this 85 00:04:32,960 --> 00:04:35,560 Speaker 1: thing too with the podcast at large, where obviously the 86 00:04:35,560 --> 00:04:38,000 Speaker 1: pandemic has had us re examine how we do the 87 00:04:38,040 --> 00:04:42,520 Speaker 1: podcast and we really like to doing more episodes just together. Yes, 88 00:04:43,279 --> 00:04:46,200 Speaker 1: and we have also talked about maybe in the maybe 89 00:04:46,200 --> 00:04:48,960 Speaker 1: going forward, that we will do more episodes like this 90 00:04:49,120 --> 00:04:53,600 Speaker 1: that's sort of examine a random thing and um and 91 00:04:53,680 --> 00:04:57,440 Speaker 1: Field pointed, which is literally actually how the podcast started. 92 00:04:57,560 --> 00:05:00,640 Speaker 1: That's right, that's very true. We're just going back to 93 00:05:00,680 --> 00:05:02,680 Speaker 1: our roots, going back to our roots. It was going 94 00:05:02,720 --> 00:05:07,000 Speaker 1: to be every episode was about a certain um cultural institution, 95 00:05:07,200 --> 00:05:09,240 Speaker 1: and we like really went into it. That's why our 96 00:05:09,279 --> 00:05:12,159 Speaker 1: first episode is called the Grammys, and I think the 97 00:05:12,240 --> 00:05:16,039 Speaker 1: second episode with An Andresen is called and I don't 98 00:05:16,040 --> 00:05:17,800 Speaker 1: think we talked about at all because she got there 99 00:05:17,800 --> 00:05:21,200 Speaker 1: and she was like, I don't watch it. We're like, okay, cool, 100 00:05:21,240 --> 00:05:25,560 Speaker 1: well you know, don't matter, but it's still perfect. You 101 00:05:25,560 --> 00:05:28,240 Speaker 1: always go back home, yes, and so I that's all 102 00:05:28,279 --> 00:05:29,880 Speaker 1: I wanted to do was just kind of get your 103 00:05:29,920 --> 00:05:32,400 Speaker 1: gauge on on what the twelve Days. Word, do you. 104 00:05:32,560 --> 00:05:36,159 Speaker 1: I really enjoyed this a great deal. They've been my favorite, 105 00:05:36,200 --> 00:05:37,800 Speaker 1: They've been my favorite. They've been, I think been my 106 00:05:37,839 --> 00:05:39,920 Speaker 1: favorite of the year besides the Top two hundred Days. 107 00:05:40,200 --> 00:05:42,520 Speaker 1: And of course when Will Farell, our producer came, when 108 00:05:42,520 --> 00:05:45,320 Speaker 1: Will Ferrell, our producer came. But I was I'm going 109 00:05:45,360 --> 00:05:47,960 Speaker 1: to make a controversial statement and say that there, I'm 110 00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:51,520 Speaker 1: putting them on equal equal footing. Twelve Days and Top 111 00:05:51,520 --> 00:05:55,440 Speaker 1: two hundred. Wow. Different different things to get out of 112 00:05:55,440 --> 00:05:58,240 Speaker 1: both of them, but both equally valuable. If you whatever, 113 00:05:58,400 --> 00:06:01,680 Speaker 1: whatever you're you know, meaning of value, whatever your persuasion, 114 00:06:01,800 --> 00:06:05,520 Speaker 1: whatever your persuasion, ever persuasion, whatever your persuasion, whatever you 115 00:06:05,680 --> 00:06:09,479 Speaker 1: and things change. But you know, um, the twelve Days 116 00:06:09,480 --> 00:06:12,840 Speaker 1: of Culture were a blast and I had so much fun. 117 00:06:13,400 --> 00:06:17,960 Speaker 1: And this actually is today, and you pitched this and 118 00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:20,760 Speaker 1: I was really really excited about this because I think 119 00:06:20,760 --> 00:06:22,919 Speaker 1: it's form breaking. And we just came off an episode 120 00:06:22,960 --> 00:06:25,640 Speaker 1: yesterday where we didn't even say a date because it's 121 00:06:25,640 --> 00:06:30,320 Speaker 1: an unknown date. But this actually it looks ahead in 122 00:06:30,400 --> 00:06:33,159 Speaker 1: such a beautiful way. And you said something so stunning 123 00:06:33,200 --> 00:06:36,640 Speaker 1: about it. You said something stunning well before I before 124 00:06:36,680 --> 00:06:38,240 Speaker 1: I say that I don't really remember what I said 125 00:06:38,240 --> 00:06:39,960 Speaker 1: that was so stunning, but I do want to say 126 00:06:39,960 --> 00:06:43,920 Speaker 1: that this was another collaborative moment because my sister Matt Rodders, 127 00:06:44,000 --> 00:06:50,440 Speaker 1: sent me a video of Yes walking through this land 128 00:06:50,839 --> 00:06:53,520 Speaker 1: Yes and going you have to watch this. I watched. 129 00:06:53,600 --> 00:06:56,440 Speaker 1: I go, Oh my god, I cannot. I cannot believe this. 130 00:06:56,520 --> 00:06:58,919 Speaker 1: I've never been so excited. And this led into the 131 00:06:58,920 --> 00:07:00,919 Speaker 1: stunning thing you said. I said, this has to be 132 00:07:00,920 --> 00:07:04,640 Speaker 1: the twelf day of culture. It's a beautiful intersection of 133 00:07:04,760 --> 00:07:09,880 Speaker 1: our interests individually and as a duo. It's theme park culture, 134 00:07:10,240 --> 00:07:15,480 Speaker 1: it's video game culture intersecting. And the day of Culture 135 00:07:15,920 --> 00:07:19,720 Speaker 1: is as of this recording in the future. It looks ahead. 136 00:07:20,080 --> 00:07:22,240 Speaker 1: It looks ahead, and that is a statement, and we 137 00:07:22,280 --> 00:07:25,680 Speaker 1: are making a statement. It's so unbelievable. We've all we've 138 00:07:25,720 --> 00:07:28,440 Speaker 1: done is look back on these on these episodes. But 139 00:07:28,440 --> 00:07:31,800 Speaker 1: we're here to say there is culture ahead, there's culture 140 00:07:31,840 --> 00:07:34,680 Speaker 1: to look forward to, not as all pulled back from 141 00:07:34,680 --> 00:07:37,640 Speaker 1: the tide of the past. I'm crying so hard. I've 142 00:07:37,680 --> 00:07:40,960 Speaker 1: never been this emotional in years. I am crying so hard. 143 00:07:41,000 --> 00:07:44,520 Speaker 1: I can control myself.

Absolutely any 204 00:11:25,400 --> 00:11:28,040 Speaker 1: any there's so many games, there's guarantee there's a Nintendo 205 00:11:28,080 --> 00:11:30,160 Speaker 1: game unless you're a full, full, full fanatic. There's a 206 00:11:30,240 --> 00:11:32,920 Speaker 1: Nintendo game that you haven't played that yet that you should. 207 00:11:33,280 --> 00:11:36,040 Speaker 1: I just thought Matt Rodgers a Nintendo switch.

Okay, he is a visionary 230 00:12:36,960 --> 00:12:39,520 Speaker 1: for sure. And also I love the world that he creates. 231 00:12:39,559 --> 00:12:42,040 Speaker 1: And as a kid, I always loved the humor and 232 00:12:42,080 --> 00:12:44,880 Speaker 1: I always really appreciated the humor. And I actually when 233 00:12:45,000 --> 00:12:47,440 Speaker 1: you have to flip through the dialogue, I always loved it. 234 00:12:47,480 --> 00:12:49,600 Speaker 1: I was that kid when I would fall on the ground, 235 00:12:49,600 --> 00:12:52,040 Speaker 1: I would say that. I would say that's that's smart. 236 00:12:52,480 --> 00:12:56,360 Speaker 1: I would say, ouch, that's smart because like the kids 237 00:12:56,480 --> 00:12:58,319 Speaker 1: like I think Bowser said that one time in like 238 00:12:58,440 --> 00:13:00,800 Speaker 1: Mario party, and I thought I to say rubbish. I 239 00:13:00,880 --> 00:13:02,520 Speaker 1: used to use the word rubbish because of that, and 240 00:13:02,559 --> 00:13:06,520 Speaker 1: Harry Potter like trust me like these where it's true 241 00:13:06,559 --> 00:13:08,800 Speaker 1: they did raise me in a way, and honestly it's 242 00:13:08,880 --> 00:13:13,800 Speaker 1: it's like an influence. But that Donkey Kong I did play. 243 00:13:14,200 --> 00:13:16,000 Speaker 1: You don't know this, but I did play Zeldo when 244 00:13:16,040 --> 00:13:18,160 Speaker 1: I was a kid because I was so obsessed with 245 00:13:18,160 --> 00:13:21,280 Speaker 1: the Nintendo culture. Outside of that, I mean, Mario Kart 246 00:13:21,320 --> 00:13:24,800 Speaker 1: is your standard forever, and let's just say to jump 247 00:13:24,840 --> 00:13:27,840 Speaker 1: off that really quick. You know that the main ride 248 00:13:27,920 --> 00:13:32,600 Speaker 1: in Supernintendo is Mario Kart Bowser's Challenge. It's called Koopa's 249 00:13:32,679 --> 00:13:35,600 Speaker 1: Challenge in Japan because that's what Bowser is called in Japan, 250 00:13:35,679 --> 00:13:40,000 Speaker 1: kopa Um. But literally it's a racing. It's a state 251 00:13:40,040 --> 00:13:43,520 Speaker 1: of the art. I'm so excited, state of the art 252 00:13:44,200 --> 00:13:47,120 Speaker 1: dark ride, which is basically if you can picture, like 253 00:13:47,360 --> 00:13:50,760 Speaker 1: what cars is um when it goes inside, it's a 254 00:13:51,160 --> 00:13:52,920 Speaker 1: it's like and it's like the Haunted Mansion. That's a 255 00:13:53,000 --> 00:13:55,240 Speaker 1: dark ride. Harry Potter in the Forbidden Journey, that's a 256 00:13:55,320 --> 00:13:58,080 Speaker 1: dark ride. Any ride that's indoors. Yes, But isn't that 257 00:13:58,160 --> 00:14:01,120 Speaker 1: perfect because Bowser's Castle and all the Mario kar games 258 00:14:01,240 --> 00:14:03,840 Speaker 1: is a dark ride. So the scenes are the different levels. 259 00:14:03,960 --> 00:14:06,440 Speaker 1: So basically it starts out at Bowser's Castle on the 260 00:14:06,480 --> 00:14:08,760 Speaker 1: outside that the entrance to the ride is a huge 261 00:14:08,800 --> 00:14:11,400 Speaker 1: Bowser's Castle, and then you go in up this huge 262 00:14:11,400 --> 00:14:14,760 Speaker 1: staircase and you see this big Bowser there. You walk 263 00:14:14,840 --> 00:14:17,360 Speaker 1: past all the cups, like the Star Cup, the mushroom cup, 264 00:14:17,360 --> 00:14:19,440 Speaker 1: all those things, and then you get on and it's 265 00:14:19,440 --> 00:14:21,920 Speaker 1: sort of like, um, it's a racing ride, so there's 266 00:14:21,960 --> 00:14:24,520 Speaker 1: two cars going at the same time, and you wear 267 00:14:24,600 --> 00:14:28,600 Speaker 1: augmented reality glasses, not three D glasses, augmented reality like 268 00:14:28,640 --> 00:14:32,440 Speaker 1: on Instagram what Instagram filter uses, So you wear those 269 00:14:32,560 --> 00:14:36,040 Speaker 1: and that's how the animations pop up throughout. So because 270 00:14:36,080 --> 00:14:39,240 Speaker 1: this is true, we probably can't even get videos of 271 00:14:39,240 --> 00:14:41,200 Speaker 1: what it looks like because no videos are gonna be 272 00:14:41,240 --> 00:14:44,000 Speaker 1: able to get into the damn. So it's gonna be 273 00:14:44,080 --> 00:14:47,480 Speaker 1: new for everyone when they do it, and every yes, 274 00:14:47,560 --> 00:14:49,440 Speaker 1: so every scene is a level and of course it 275 00:14:49,520 --> 00:14:52,800 Speaker 1: ends at Rainbow Road, and I'm telling you this is 276 00:14:52,840 --> 00:14:56,400 Speaker 1: going to be I mean the what theme park rides 277 00:14:56,400 --> 00:14:59,000 Speaker 1: have been able to do in terms of immersion, Like 278 00:14:59,040 --> 00:15:01,120 Speaker 1: if you ever go to univer solor Disney like the 279 00:15:01,160 --> 00:15:04,360 Speaker 1: Newer Ship, it's truly wild. I know, it's like tacky 280 00:15:04,520 --> 00:15:06,760 Speaker 1: because they're huge corporations and we joke about it all 281 00:15:06,760 --> 00:15:10,640 Speaker 1: the time, but like it is fun as fuck, and um, 282 00:15:10,840 --> 00:15:15,400 Speaker 1: we have never seen I don't think like a meeting 283 00:15:15,600 --> 00:15:19,160 Speaker 1: of theme park ride and just concept in terms of 284 00:15:19,160 --> 00:15:22,720 Speaker 1: what's already out there in media.

Oh 335 00:18:10,720 --> 00:18:14,840 Speaker 1: like the girl. They have the technology to at least 336 00:18:14,880 --> 00:18:17,399 Speaker 1: make it look like that's what's happening. Oh my god. 337 00:18:17,840 --> 00:18:21,440 Speaker 1: I whatever they do with Zelda once that ride comes out, 338 00:18:22,200 --> 00:18:25,240 Speaker 1: I will cry. I will cry. I've seen some concept 339 00:18:25,359 --> 00:18:27,520 Speaker 1: art that's like that's like a theater in the round 340 00:18:27,640 --> 00:18:31,479 Speaker 1: show where the seats move based around in like a 341 00:18:31,520 --> 00:18:34,159 Speaker 1: three sixty fashion and they can go up and below 342 00:18:34,200 --> 00:18:37,800 Speaker 1: each other that all center around some a show that's 343 00:18:37,840 --> 00:18:39,640 Speaker 1: happening in the center of the stage and it's themed 344 00:18:39,640 --> 00:18:45,160 Speaker 1: to Zelda. So like it's like carousel progress. No, well yes, 345 00:18:45,720 --> 00:18:50,240 Speaker 1: but the actually go around each other and like like 346 00:18:50,600 --> 00:18:53,919 Speaker 1: it's like a and not. It's like a three dimensional 347 00:18:54,160 --> 00:18:58,959 Speaker 1: almost like um seater in the round show, like like 348 00:18:59,080 --> 00:19:01,000 Speaker 1: one one group of seats will go this way and 349 00:19:01,000 --> 00:19:03,360 Speaker 1: then the other will go under under it. Yeah, yeah, 350 00:19:03,400 --> 00:19:06,639 Speaker 1: so basically like it. It could in a circle switch 351 00:19:06,800 --> 00:19:10,600 Speaker 1: it's arrangement or like your p o V. I bet 352 00:19:10,600 --> 00:19:12,600 Speaker 1: you it will be like a time travel component or 353 00:19:12,720 --> 00:19:16,240 Speaker 1: like light world dark world thing that that Zelda always does. 354 00:19:16,359 --> 00:19:21,639 Speaker 1: Oh that that'll be one to go see. That's just 355 00:19:21,680 --> 00:19:23,320 Speaker 1: the rumor I heard for that one. And then of 356 00:19:23,320 --> 00:19:27,240 Speaker 1: course by proxy of all this, they also owned Pokemon, 357 00:19:27,920 --> 00:19:31,160 Speaker 1: so there's probably going to be a Pokemon thing put 358 00:19:31,200 --> 00:19:33,520 Speaker 1: into the theme parks as well, once they can get 359 00:19:33,560 --> 00:19:37,280 Speaker 1: their footing and put the money into it. But yeah, 360 00:19:36,800 --> 00:19:41,600 Speaker 1: lots of stuff. And also I was a crazy Pokemon kid. 361 00:19:41,880 --> 00:19:44,400 Speaker 1: You and I have not talked enough about Pokemon. You 362 00:19:44,440 --> 00:19:48,200 Speaker 1: have you have a slumbering gamer and deeply like like 363 00:19:48,280 --> 00:19:50,199 Speaker 1: when my mother would punish me, when she would come 364 00:19:50,200 --> 00:19:52,399 Speaker 1: in and say you punished, it was because I was 365 00:19:52,520 --> 00:19:54,399 Speaker 1: like late to dinner because of video games, and she 366 00:19:54,400 --> 00:19:56,280 Speaker 1: would always take video games away. It was always what 367 00:19:56,320 --> 00:19:58,680 Speaker 1: I lost for two days when I was being bad, 368 00:19:58,720 --> 00:20:02,359 Speaker 1: Oh my god, because I was addicted to it. You're punished, 369 00:20:03,080 --> 00:20:06,119 Speaker 1: you know what, you punished. Pokemons a thing though that 370 00:20:06,160 --> 00:20:09,880 Speaker 1: I think they can either nail or it's it's it's 371 00:20:09,880 --> 00:20:11,480 Speaker 1: it's a binary thing. They can either nail it or 372 00:20:11,480 --> 00:20:13,080 Speaker 1: they can suck it up really badly, and they have 373 00:20:13,160 --> 00:20:16,040 Speaker 1: it fully not realized that the potential of the franchise 374 00:20:16,160 --> 00:20:18,679 Speaker 1: or just look stupid, like the thing is like you 375 00:20:18,680 --> 00:20:21,640 Speaker 1: should put money into the audio, animatronics of it all 376 00:20:21,680 --> 00:20:24,320 Speaker 1: for those things to like imagine like I don't know, 377 00:20:24,480 --> 00:20:26,600 Speaker 1: like a majestic birds thing, you know what. I would 378 00:20:26,600 --> 00:20:29,000 Speaker 1: love a concept of a ride which is like you 379 00:20:29,040 --> 00:20:31,560 Speaker 1: have to go like capture the majestic birds and like 380 00:20:31,680 --> 00:20:36,359 Speaker 1: that was like the thing because birds absolutely rock. And 381 00:20:37,560 --> 00:20:40,240 Speaker 1: also there's something really intriguing to me about the fact 382 00:20:40,240 --> 00:20:42,879 Speaker 1: that no one can catch them, Like I love that 383 00:20:43,000 --> 00:20:47,720 Speaker 1: about the Pokemon lore when I was like playing them, 384 00:20:47,800 --> 00:20:50,240 Speaker 1: that no one owned them, and I was very into 385 00:20:50,240 --> 00:20:52,919 Speaker 1: the cards. One time I lost my Pokemon cards and 386 00:20:53,080 --> 00:20:55,320 Speaker 1: I was depressed for eight months and then we found 387 00:20:55,320 --> 00:20:59,160 Speaker 1: them in a closet insane. The cards were a moment. 388 00:20:59,480 --> 00:21:02,080 Speaker 1: Cards were a familiar moment. Did you keep those little counters, 389 00:21:02,400 --> 00:21:06,320 Speaker 1: those counterbeats because it was mostly a collector's thing because 390 00:21:06,400 --> 00:21:08,560 Speaker 1: there were very few people who would actually play you 391 00:21:08,640 --> 00:21:11,280 Speaker 1: in a Pokemon Well, no, I never played I obviously. 392 00:21:11,600 --> 00:21:13,320 Speaker 1: Like the competitive thing about it to me was the 393 00:21:13,320 --> 00:21:15,800 Speaker 1: trading of it all. Like I would get into legit 394 00:21:15,880 --> 00:21:17,920 Speaker 1: fights with kids at school and one time I got 395 00:21:17,920 --> 00:21:21,159 Speaker 1: into a bad fight with my cousin Michael because I 396 00:21:21,200 --> 00:21:23,760 Speaker 1: had to venosaurs and he had a Blast Toys and 397 00:21:24,000 --> 00:21:25,960 Speaker 1: I was like, he had one Blast toys and I 398 00:21:26,000 --> 00:21:27,840 Speaker 1: was like, if I give you my venostar, can I 399 00:21:27,840 --> 00:21:30,640 Speaker 1: get your Blast toys? And he did it. And then 400 00:21:30,680 --> 00:21:33,600 Speaker 1: my aunt told me later because he had been crying 401 00:21:34,000 --> 00:21:36,240 Speaker 1: because he made a huge mistake and a bad trade. 402 00:21:36,280 --> 00:21:38,439 Speaker 1: And I was like, he did make a bad trade, 403 00:21:38,760 --> 00:21:40,879 Speaker 1: but he but we did it and we said no 404 00:21:41,000 --> 00:21:45,119 Speaker 1: tradebacks and or no take backs or whatever. And I 405 00:21:45,160 --> 00:21:48,200 Speaker 1: was just like thinking the other day, what an insane 406 00:21:48,240 --> 00:21:51,080 Speaker 1: thing that was, Like it was a verbal contract, and 407 00:21:51,240 --> 00:21:55,640 Speaker 1: Elaine and you were abiding. Can I say, I'm gonna 408 00:21:55,680 --> 00:21:59,320 Speaker 1: say the most beautiful holographic card and it's not what 409 00:21:59,400 --> 00:22:03,159 Speaker 1: you think it is. Chars was not a beauty, was 410 00:22:03,200 --> 00:22:06,000 Speaker 1: not an aesthetically a beautiful card. No, honestly, it's it 411 00:22:06,080 --> 00:22:08,560 Speaker 1: is the most iconic, but it's not the most beautiful. 412 00:22:08,880 --> 00:22:11,600 Speaker 1: It's not the most beautiful, like like the one was 413 00:22:11,640 --> 00:22:13,199 Speaker 1: like there to like punch you in the face and 414 00:22:13,240 --> 00:22:16,800 Speaker 1: be like, hey, bitch, I have a p The power 415 00:22:16,840 --> 00:22:19,160 Speaker 1: and the rarity of it all and the novelty, yes, 416 00:22:19,320 --> 00:22:24,600 Speaker 1: but the most beautiful, beautiful holographic card was in fact 417 00:22:25,080 --> 00:22:30,280 Speaker 1: it was such a such a gorgeous color blue, silver, blue, yeah, 418 00:22:30,720 --> 00:22:34,240 Speaker 1: part of the ocean vibes. Yeah, it was really really great. 419 00:22:34,480 --> 00:22:36,920 Speaker 1: You know what I always like I thought was a 420 00:22:37,000 --> 00:22:40,280 Speaker 1: striking card was the zap Does. I was like, this 421 00:22:40,320 --> 00:22:43,719 Speaker 1: one really gets it across, like you are this like 422 00:22:43,800 --> 00:22:48,280 Speaker 1: you are electrical bird, we stand electrical bird. Well, first 423 00:22:48,320 --> 00:22:50,480 Speaker 1: of all, I'm looking at on eBay, Blast Choice is 424 00:22:50,520 --> 00:22:54,840 Speaker 1: going for five hundred dollars. Zapts is going for one forty. Unfortunately, 425 00:22:54,880 --> 00:22:57,320 Speaker 1: I would get a char's yard of blast toys and 426 00:22:57,359 --> 00:22:59,040 Speaker 1: a Vina Saur and I would frame that in my 427 00:22:59,080 --> 00:23:01,040 Speaker 1: house and put it on the goddamn like in your 428 00:23:01,080 --> 00:23:03,360 Speaker 1: current home. Yes, I would do that. That's that's sort 429 00:23:03,359 --> 00:23:05,760 Speaker 1: of what's starting to happen right now with my aesthetic. Anyways, 430 00:23:05,760 --> 00:23:07,919 Speaker 1: I've just thrown any whole thing on the wall. I know, 431 00:23:08,160 --> 00:23:11,440 Speaker 1: because I do not have taste, but I would put 432 00:23:11,440 --> 00:23:13,639 Speaker 1: that on the wall. To me is a conversation to 433 00:23:13,720 --> 00:23:17,040 Speaker 1: get for Christmas, girl, conversation piece I know, to get 434 00:23:17,040 --> 00:23:21,480 Speaker 1: you for next year's Christmas. Remember, so this is sort 435 00:23:21,480 --> 00:23:23,680 Speaker 1: of getting into Pokemon culture. But I do have a 436 00:23:23,680 --> 00:23:26,560 Speaker 1: crazy question I have to ask you, which is this? 437 00:23:27,200 --> 00:23:31,440 Speaker 1: Did you have Pokemon Red or Blue? I had Blue? Okay, 438 00:23:31,760 --> 00:23:35,000 Speaker 1: I had read interesting difference between us. Red is red 439 00:23:35,119 --> 00:23:37,800 Speaker 1: was top? Blue is bottom? Interesting that I believe that 440 00:23:37,840 --> 00:23:40,560 Speaker 1: to be true, which is, of course how we always 441 00:23:40,560 --> 00:23:44,200 Speaker 1: sort of. That's that's very mad, and that's the binary binary. 442 00:23:44,960 --> 00:23:48,280 Speaker 1: But what would you choose as your starter? Would you 443 00:23:48,359 --> 00:23:51,800 Speaker 1: choose a squirrel? Would you choose a bulbosare? Or would 444 00:23:51,800 --> 00:23:55,080 Speaker 1: you choose Charmander? I did not make this rule until 445 00:23:55,160 --> 00:23:58,320 Speaker 1: much later I had I had multiple play throughs of Blue. 446 00:23:58,920 --> 00:24:04,840 Speaker 1: First play through, I decided to go with Charles. Struggle 447 00:24:04,920 --> 00:24:07,320 Speaker 1: through those first huge Yeah, really hard in the beginning, 448 00:24:07,359 --> 00:24:09,920 Speaker 1: which is why I never pick it. First three gyms 449 00:24:10,040 --> 00:24:13,120 Speaker 1: you could Charmander did nothing against rock, nothing against water, 450 00:24:13,280 --> 00:24:19,240 Speaker 1: nothing against electric Brock. Missy, Lieutenant Surge, Lieutenant Surge, who, 451 00:24:19,280 --> 00:24:23,600 Speaker 1: by the way, hot, but then Daddy and Brock too. 452 00:24:23,880 --> 00:24:27,399 Speaker 1: Misty even I mean Missy was hot. Brock and Missy, 453 00:24:27,480 --> 00:24:30,600 Speaker 1: thetention was really thick, and honestly it was very Harry 454 00:24:30,680 --> 00:24:33,080 Speaker 1: Ron Harmiony where you kind of knew that it was 455 00:24:33,160 --> 00:24:35,800 Speaker 1: Harry was not. It was very the Ron and Hermione 456 00:24:35,960 --> 00:24:39,719 Speaker 1: sexual moment. But listen, I think canonically in the anime 457 00:24:39,920 --> 00:24:43,000 Speaker 1: slash manga, Misty and Ash were supposed to end up 458 00:24:43,119 --> 00:24:45,240 Speaker 1: like the romance was between Missy and Ash. I think 459 00:24:45,240 --> 00:24:47,640 Speaker 1: Brock a lot of people have projected like some queerness 460 00:24:47,680 --> 00:24:51,120 Speaker 1: onto which I don't mind. I won't love that. Actually 461 00:24:51,640 --> 00:24:54,120 Speaker 1: Ash seems the gayest to me. But anyway, well then 462 00:24:54,240 --> 00:24:56,119 Speaker 1: I was just gonna say that. Since then, on my 463 00:24:56,119 --> 00:24:59,600 Speaker 1: plate throughs, they've always chosen usually I have always chosen 464 00:24:59,600 --> 00:25:02,920 Speaker 1: the water types. So I did play with Squirtle, Pokemon Silver, 465 00:25:03,000 --> 00:25:06,680 Speaker 1: I chose Chicker Rita. Then I restarted and shows Cyndi Quill, 466 00:25:06,880 --> 00:25:09,879 Speaker 1: and then I restarted again. In shows like Silver is 467 00:25:10,560 --> 00:25:13,680 Speaker 1: regarded as maybe the best of the of the games, 468 00:25:14,320 --> 00:25:16,440 Speaker 1: and I kind of am inclined to agree because you're 469 00:25:16,440 --> 00:25:20,080 Speaker 1: able to go to multiple lands and get total sixteen badges. 470 00:25:20,600 --> 00:25:24,000 Speaker 1: But I played all three of the starters in silver. 471 00:25:24,119 --> 00:25:26,399 Speaker 1: But I'm sorry to answer your original question. I started 472 00:25:26,400 --> 00:25:30,400 Speaker 1: with Trimander and then on another playthrough had Squirtle, so 473 00:25:30,760 --> 00:25:35,680 Speaker 1: I always was gravitating towards Squirtle first in the beginning. 474 00:25:35,920 --> 00:25:39,000 Speaker 1: Um and I did. Obviously I beat. I beat the 475 00:25:39,000 --> 00:25:43,280 Speaker 1: game very successfully with Blast Noises like as my number one. 476 00:25:43,880 --> 00:25:46,840 Speaker 1: Then I had maybe my most successful game at that 477 00:25:46,880 --> 00:25:50,960 Speaker 1: point with the Venosaur. Venosaur gets insanely good towards the end. 478 00:25:51,320 --> 00:25:53,960 Speaker 1: But I'll tell you this. I don't know how this happened, 479 00:25:54,440 --> 00:25:59,000 Speaker 1: but my most memorable play through of Pokemon read the 480 00:25:59,040 --> 00:26:00,919 Speaker 1: time I remember how mean the most fun with it 481 00:26:00,960 --> 00:26:04,040 Speaker 1: because I just crushed. Guess what my number one, like 482 00:26:04,600 --> 00:26:08,240 Speaker 1: Chief Attack Pokemon was number one in my roster ar back, 483 00:26:08,600 --> 00:26:13,560 Speaker 1: it was primate Primate. I was killing and I was 484 00:26:13,640 --> 00:26:19,080 Speaker 1: obviously fucking holes because I was just primate. I don't 485 00:26:19,080 --> 00:26:20,880 Speaker 1: know what it was. I was being such a top. 486 00:26:23,400 --> 00:26:27,400 Speaker 1: I was a little top punching you were a little top. Meanwhile, 487 00:26:27,440 --> 00:26:30,520 Speaker 1: I was over here with my Wiggly Tough doing thunder 488 00:26:30,600 --> 00:26:34,520 Speaker 1: shock on all of these little horrors.
