Speaker 1: Hey, what's up. It's Nerdificent. How you doing nerd fam
Speaker 1: As always, I am sitting acus from me Danny Fernandez. Yeah,
Speaker 1: today we're talking about a little something, my little something.
Speaker 1: I was going to say our little something. Now that
Speaker 1: sounds like we're having a baby together. Sometimes whenever I'm
Speaker 1: holding naomie or child, everyone's like, that's and that's if
Speaker 1: he's wife. People say that all the time, like on
Speaker 1: the twitch stream or something back when we're on hyper
Speaker 1: and that is if he's wife. People talk or and
Speaker 1: I kind of I could see that. Maybe that's close.
Speaker 1: You knows Latin, Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, Um, we are
Speaker 1: talking about my Little Pony and Browny Con. I'm excited
Speaker 1: about is because I don't know if you grew up
Speaker 1: with it, Iffy, but I grew up with my Little Pony. Yeah.
Speaker 1: It was in the background, but it was when they
Speaker 1: were really trying to like really shove gendered brands to kids.
Speaker 1: So like the boys got you Jos and the little girls,
Speaker 1: you have Barbie and my Little Pony, and and you
Speaker 1: had Polly Pocket and I forgot what was the other one?
Speaker 1: Was the other one Max power or something? Um? I
Speaker 1: played with everybody's toys. I think I have said on
Speaker 1: here that I notoriously I would. I would, I would
Speaker 1: switch out Ken and M My Barbie would bang M
Speaker 1: G I Joe and Batman Bruce Wayne. Um. We are
Speaker 1: joined today by transgender supermodel and television host a Reice Wanser.
Speaker 1: Thank you Hello. I know you wanted to talk throughout that,
Speaker 1: so I was like, I don't want to. I don't
Speaker 1: want to stifle you anymore. I'm glad I can laugh
Speaker 1: at your guys loudly now because everyone's like, where is
Speaker 1: that third voice coming from? It's just always here in
Speaker 1: the studio. Um. So, what was your first experience with
Speaker 1: My Little Pony? Then? Um, I actually have to I'm
Speaker 1: thirty two years old, A proud thirty two holler um,
Speaker 1: you know, child of the eighties, child of the nineties.
Speaker 1: So my sisters, though, are in their forties. So I
Speaker 1: had all the original My Little Pony and they were
Speaker 1: my hand me downs, and so I had like the
Speaker 1: big Little Castle. I also had Sheera Togo with it.
Speaker 1: But yeah, so it was a pony mix. I didn't
Speaker 1: realize they weren't the same cartoon for a while until
Speaker 1: I started watching the movies and it was super cute,
Speaker 1: like there was there was a Careberrys movie too, but
Speaker 1: we're not talking about that today. But I remember everything
Speaker 1: was super trippy back then. Watching Psychedelic Yeah, if you
Speaker 1: watch it now, it's like an adult, you're like whatever
Speaker 1: they on when they made this, like it's kind of nuts.
Speaker 1: I think that's really funny because I find that about
Speaker 1: a lot of cartoons, Like we've talked about Nickelodeon cartoons,
Speaker 1: and they slip in a lot of adult humor, like
Speaker 1: in Rocco's Modern line, Oh yes, how he was a
Speaker 1: sex operator, um and he would be like, oh baby
Speaker 1: baby yeah, or like Mrs Bighead where she was like
Speaker 1: sexually predatoring rock. Oh, she's like rack it. Yeah yeah,
Speaker 1: and if obviously Rent and Stimpy was very much adult humor. Yeah,
Speaker 1: Renis was actually really gross to watch as an adult.
Speaker 1: It's it's grotesque, but I'd like that they did that
Speaker 1: on purpose, like the boogers and the like the animation. Yeah,
Speaker 1: the animation is really like the pimples and the words
Speaker 1: and stuff. But of course as kids are like I
Speaker 1: love it. Yeah, it's super cool, but as an adult,
Speaker 1: you can't eat and watch it. You can watch it,
Speaker 1: but I'm just like, oh god, no, I'm not gonna
Speaker 1: even yeah, true, true true. Um so wait, you had
Speaker 1: My Little Pony back when you were younger. Did it
Speaker 1: re emerge in your life? Oh my god, yes, girl,
Speaker 1: because it came out on Netflix with With the Power
Speaker 1: of Friendship one. What is it like? The friendship is
Speaker 1: Friendship is magic. They don't impale me, guys. I have
Speaker 1: a real job that is not involved by Little Pony.
Speaker 1: So I did watch the entire zero is that because
Speaker 1: I don't have much to do with my real job.
Speaker 1: So you watched it while you were there? Oh yeah, Now,
Speaker 1: like like you know, it's just castings and auditions and
Speaker 1: then sometimes you book something. Yeah, model life. But um
Speaker 1: so when you're not you go home and watch Netflix.
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, so I watched all of it and it
Speaker 1: was quite enjoyable. Yeah. I, um, I haven't gotten back
Speaker 1: into my Little Pony, but I still have. I was
Speaker 1: telling you before we started recording, I had my Little
Speaker 1: Pony birthday party, I think when I was two or three.
Speaker 1: So I have one of the original My Little Ponies. Um.
Speaker 1: I believe it's pink um. I think it has rainbow
Speaker 1: here and it has a jewel and it's forehead. It's
Speaker 1: very pretty actually and still in really good condition. Works.
Speaker 1: So you're a good kid. I was weird. I like
Speaker 1: one my mom passed down her barbies from like the sixties. Yeah,
Speaker 1: so I had those when I was a little and uh,
Speaker 1: and then I had my little pot so those I
Speaker 1: would play with. But my my little ponies, I guess
Speaker 1: I kept. I think because it was from my birthday.
Speaker 1: My mom kept it in like a safe so smart. Yeah,
Speaker 1: just because I know a lot of kids who ruined
Speaker 1: their toys. I was not one of them. Like I
Speaker 1: had two little Mermaid dolls. One went in the tab
Speaker 1: and one to not because one's hair. You can ruin
Speaker 1: one you can not. Remember, my dad bought me like
Speaker 1: the whole Star Trek collection of toys and and he
Speaker 1: I obviously opened it up and played with it. And
Speaker 1: I remember when the new trilogy started, all the different
Speaker 1: news uh, I keep wanting to say news sites, but
Speaker 1: it wasn't news. All the different like news reports that
Speaker 1: were coming out for the new Star Wars trilogy. We're
Speaker 1: talking about how expensive like toys from the original trilogy were.
Speaker 1: Was my dad was like, see, I had so many
Speaker 1: of those toys. If you didn't open the today with them,
Speaker 1: it would be worth money right now. It was like, yeah,
Speaker 1: but I'm a child, of course I'm gonna play with him. Also,
Speaker 1: that's Star Wars. I had Star Trek toys. It's not
Speaker 1: the same. Also, there's like history behind the Star Wars
Speaker 1: toys of how like they really changed and read after
Speaker 1: what action figures were, and I feel like that gave
Speaker 1: more weight to why they costed money versus just it
Speaker 1: being a Star Trek toy. It was next generation so
Speaker 1: it wasn't even like that old by the time that
Speaker 1: he was watching these news reports. Would you like us
Speaker 1: to send this to your father? Yeah, I'm real big
Speaker 1: at like bringing up like old stuff when I see
Speaker 1: my day, Like every time, I'm like, dang, Dad, you're
Speaker 1: making money off of playing video games, you know, and
Speaker 1: you didn't want me to play. Love it well that
Speaker 1: this is a therapy hour for you. Never mind, Dad,
Speaker 1: you didn't have Yeah, yeah, it's not like I will
Speaker 1: say though. I was, Oh man, I was a bratty
Speaker 1: sister because my little brother came along and I did
Speaker 1: not like him being the new center of attention. He
Speaker 1: had a buzz light ear toy and I threw it
Speaker 1: in the pool and it no longer talked. I was bad. Anyways,
Speaker 1: we're talking about My Little Pony um so much so
Speaker 1: to get into it, My Little Pony, if you don't know,
Speaker 1: is a toy line and media franchise developed by American
Speaker 1: toy company has Bro. So this is interesting because this
Speaker 1: we have seen as a trend as Iffie and I
Speaker 1: have done this show that the toy was developed, you know, first,
Speaker 1: and then the show essentially to sell more toys a
Speaker 1: long commercial essentially, and till this day, toys still run
Speaker 1: the world. One of the biggest rumors out is that
Speaker 1: the Justice League Unlimited show was canceled simply for the
Speaker 1: fact that it wasn't selling enough toys. You know, I
Speaker 1: haven't verified or fact checked that, but you know, I
Speaker 1: know a few friends and animations and they, you know,
Speaker 1: they said that rings true in a way. Wow, I'm
Speaker 1: still waiting for them to make a Barbie of me. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: I agree happening. Yeah, isn't that so dystopiant? It's like
Speaker 1: Black Mirror. Not enough people like you, no Barbie, Yeah,
Speaker 1: you need more like if you want to bar Um. So, yeah,
Speaker 1: My Little Pony as a toy line and media franchise
Speaker 1: developed by Hasbro. The first toys were developed by Bonnie Sasherley,
Speaker 1: Charles Mooinger and Steve de Iguano, and we're produced in
Speaker 1: so the Pony's future, colorful bodies, mans and unique symbol
Speaker 1: on one of their bodies like one of their sides. Um.
Speaker 1: Such symbols are referred to in the two most recent
Speaker 1: incarnations as CUTEI marks. I Love that. My Little Pony
Speaker 1: has been revamped several times with new and more modern
Speaker 1: looks to appeal to a new market. They kind of
Speaker 1: all seemed to be this. I mean, just from an outsider,
Speaker 1: I didn't realize that they had different looks to them. Um,
Speaker 1: would you say the ones that you see now are
Speaker 1: different than your eighties They have lost us a significant
Speaker 1: amount of way. Really, yes, they're like Ana Pony is like,
Speaker 1: they're they're a little they're a little thin. I'm going
Speaker 1: you think it would be the opposite, because I feel
Speaker 1: like people are embracing thicker bodies. The older ponies were
Speaker 1: body positive. Oh my gosh, there were some thick girls
Speaker 1: my Little Pony. I'm going to look at eighties verse now,
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, I was already in there. That's so fascinating. Okay,
Speaker 1: I will take a gander at that on our break.
Speaker 1: They got significantly thinner, but they're super kid. They just
Speaker 1: look more like Powerpuff Girls version of My Little Ponies
Speaker 1: whatever the eighties was going for, which is just an invention.
Speaker 1: I guess, yeah, what an imaginary pony would look like.
Speaker 1: But I love them all the same. Yeah, that makes sense.
Speaker 1: They represent magic and fun, kind of like the Powerpuff Girls,
Speaker 1: see exactly. So following the original My Pretty Pony toy
Speaker 1: that was introduced in nine, My Little Pony was launched
Speaker 1: in two, and the line became popular during the eighties,
Speaker 1: and the original toy line ended up running from nine
Speaker 1: eighty two to ten whole years in the United States
Speaker 1: and to globally, so even after they stopped in the US,
Speaker 1: you know, people outside of it was like, we still
Speaker 1: want these ponies, makes sense. So then they had two
Speaker 1: animated specials and an animated feature length film and two
Speaker 1: animated television series produced during the period up until and
Speaker 1: then The First Incarnation's popularity pretty much peaked in the nineties,
Speaker 1: which is when you know, everyone at this table pretty
Speaker 1: much remembers it clearly. But the following year Hasbro decided
Speaker 1: to discontinue the toy line due to increased competition. One
Speaker 1: hundred and fifty million ponies were sold in the eighties.
Speaker 1: There's a lot of ponies. I feel like I had
Speaker 1: about eight. That almost makes me wonder if that was
Speaker 1: the kind of beginning of the trope of like I
Speaker 1: want a pony for my birthday. Oh my god. But
Speaker 1: the thing is, you could get a pony for your birthday,
Speaker 1: but now it's a play on words, and your parents
Speaker 1: still win. Right, Yeah, let me get this straight. So
Speaker 1: the popularity picked and that's when it was discontinued. It
Speaker 1: didn't come back until seven. I almost wonder if if
Speaker 1: it then became like a prized kind of possession, because
Speaker 1: for several years you couldn't buy new ponies. Um, me
Speaker 1: and my neighbor used to trade them. Really, yeah, we
Speaker 1: would trade my little ponies. In the early nineties, I
Speaker 1: was like, let's call me like a seven year old boy.
Speaker 1: I'm transgender kids anyway, I was like, just so, you know,
Speaker 1: so I think I was a brownie at first, but
Speaker 1: fun rules for trans people. But yeah, not anymore. Now
Speaker 1: I'm just a regular my little pony, just like a
Speaker 1: female I know that that makes me want because I
Speaker 1: feel like the the and we'll get to this, the
Speaker 1: idea of a browny. It initially started off as like
Speaker 1: male My Pony Friends, because for some reason you have
Speaker 1: to to to make that distinction, but it also seemed
Speaker 1: to eventually encompa eventually encompassed like adult My Little Pony Friends,
Speaker 1: and then it went down the dark side. I feel
Speaker 1: like there was a period of brownism where it was
Speaker 1: it was, it was wholesome, and then very quickly, like
Speaker 1: many adult men tend to do, make it sex. Oh god,
Speaker 1: I was serious. Well, and we'll get to we'll get
Speaker 1: to browny con and everything. If people don't know what
Speaker 1: we're talking about, we will get to that in a
Speaker 1: little bit. But wrapping up here with the toys. Yeah,
Speaker 1: So the brand saw more popular revival in two thousand
Speaker 1: three with the toys that were more closely resembled the
Speaker 1: original toy line, and that sold a hundred million ponies globally.
Speaker 1: By interesting that it's like been able to stay relevant
Speaker 1: this entire time. Gosh Um Hasbro launched the fourth incarnation
Speaker 1: of the franchise, in which started with the animated series
Speaker 1: My Little Pony Friendship is Magic, which you were talking
Speaker 1: about on Netflix. Um. The brand grossed over six hundred
Speaker 1: and fifty million in retail sales and over one billion
Speaker 1: annually in retail sales. And What's so interesting about this is,
Speaker 1: even though I'm sure toys were in mind while it happened,
Speaker 1: this is an instance where the the animation came before
Speaker 1: the toy and I feel like that what kind of
Speaker 1: led to its success. I dabbled in Brownie is Um
Speaker 1: for a hot sec because because you know, even though
Speaker 1: I'm not an edge lord, I still have lots of
Speaker 1: edge lord tendencies. And I loved how much people were like,
Speaker 1: Brownies are dumb, and I was like, all right, well,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna be a Brownie since you think it's dumb.
Speaker 1: Uh and and and one of the reasons that it
Speaker 1: kind of blew up and even kind of spawned brownies
Speaker 1: was because the source material, the animated show kind of
Speaker 1: had that perfect formula of being made essentially for children,
Speaker 1: but anybody can watch it and enjoy it because it's
Speaker 1: It was right around that period of animation where we
Speaker 1: had shows that were technically quote unquote for kids, but
Speaker 1: had enough weight where no matter your age, you'd like
Speaker 1: it like Adventure Time and The Regular Show and the
Speaker 1: World of Gumball and you know, and all those cartoons.
Speaker 1: It's you know, even though they're on Cartoon Network and
Speaker 1: at prime time time for kids, a lot of adults
Speaker 1: and older people really have been into the show because
Speaker 1: they were written to the top of their intelligence instead
Speaker 1: of just pandering to children. Yeah, I wanted to say here.
Speaker 1: Psychologist John Rosemond described My Little Pony toys as great soothing,
Speaker 1: quiet time toys. It's really interesting having none of the
Speaker 1: violence or sexuality of other toy franchises. And I think
Speaker 1: what they're alluding to is g I Joe, which was
Speaker 1: also popular at the time, Transformers, he Man, some of
Speaker 1: those other ones. I'm sorry. That also reminds me because
Speaker 1: my sister, as you call it, a quiet time toy
Speaker 1: she specifically requested at her first baby shower, said no
Speaker 1: noisy toys, and My Little Pony would be perfect because
Speaker 1: none of them make noise, squeak, they don't talk, they
Speaker 1: don't do anything. And back to the toys too. They
Speaker 1: also had like licensing with Build a Bear because I
Speaker 1: have a big Build a Bear in mind. My little
Speaker 1: play that a friend got me for my birthday and
Speaker 1: now it sits in my closet, like guarding the closet,
Speaker 1: like up in the rafters. But um, it's interesting because
Speaker 1: it's absolutely a quiet time toy because it doesn't make
Speaker 1: any noise, They don't do anything. It is kind of
Speaker 1: funny the people that get I think, like you were
Speaker 1: saying that, um, the people that get attached to My
Speaker 1: Little Pony because it represents um friendship and it represents
Speaker 1: kind of this magical fantasy land. That's a way. I mean,
Speaker 1: I don't know if the current series does this, but
Speaker 1: kind of you know, an escapism escapism essentially, and so
Speaker 1: which is kind of the opposite of a lot of
Speaker 1: its counterparts of that time that we're more violent. Um.
Speaker 1: But it is fascinating to me the people that grew
Speaker 1: up with it, that stayed with it because I feel
Speaker 1: like My Little Pony people are like very into My
Speaker 1: Little Pony, um, which is like me growing up, I
Speaker 1: was super into anime and that kind of I don't know,
Speaker 1: they have a lot of similarities. I think, I agree,
Speaker 1: because it's about, like think with the escapism just because
Speaker 1: it makes you feel safe, especially like the world is
Speaker 1: such a scary place when I see like the rainbow
Speaker 1: coming out of the back of a horse just flying
Speaker 1: to like go save her friend from this lightning storm.
Speaker 1: It's kind of nice. Um, well, we're going to get
Speaker 1: into My Little Pony friendship is magic this show and
Speaker 1: talk a little bit about um the origin and history
Speaker 1: as well as Brony con right after this break and
Speaker 1: we're back talking about My Little Pony and if he
Speaker 1: before we move on, we have to talk about My
Speaker 1: Pretty Pony. Yeah, you gotta talk about the predecessor before
Speaker 1: you get into the actual, So you got to talk
Speaker 1: about the source between that created the material and before
Speaker 1: My Little Pony, there was a there was an unsuccessful
Speaker 1: first launch which was called My Pretty Pony, which was
Speaker 1: a pony figurine that has launched in one and it
Speaker 1: was created by an illustrator by the name of Bonnie
Speaker 1: Zacharly and a sculptor called Charles Moon Schinger. And it
Speaker 1: was a ten inch tall hard plastic semi gro test
Speaker 1: figure that was able to wiggle its your squishes tail
Speaker 1: and ink one eye. This thing was huge and it
Speaker 1: also kind of had like the early permanation of what
Speaker 1: you would call a cutie mark, because there's some had
Speaker 1: like just a whole bunch of a whole bunch of
Speaker 1: hearts on the little, you know, rear flank of the
Speaker 1: of the pony. But it was like big. We've all
Speaker 1: we all looked at it during the break and commented
Speaker 1: on how big it was. So it's so funny that
Speaker 1: they that when it wasn't successful, they're like, it probably
Speaker 1: was because it was too big. It looks like something
Speaker 1: you throw. Yeah, you know, I'm just like, I hate you.
Speaker 1: It's creepy and it's sad. If it looks sad, it
Speaker 1: has a sad horse eye. I don't like. I hate
Speaker 1: when horses look sad. It's like, don't ride me. But
Speaker 1: they didn't go out without a fight, because first, you know,
Speaker 1: they went my pretty party. Then they had my Pretty
Speaker 1: Pony and Beautiful Baby, which came with a smaller baby
Speaker 1: pony figure. And I think that was probably when people noticed,
Speaker 1: when they probably did one of those like uh, what
Speaker 1: was those group test with kids, and they're like, oh,
Speaker 1: we like this, it's small. I don't pull my back
Speaker 1: out lifting this, And that's what they went with. But
Speaker 1: a recent I we're talking about during the break that
Speaker 1: we both had um puppy surprise surprised puppy. Surprise was
Speaker 1: a puppy that you opened its tummy and you could
Speaker 1: take out puppies, and it's just it was a surprise
Speaker 1: how many you got. Some people had, like my neighbor
Speaker 1: had too, and I had four, so I was kind
Speaker 1: of like the beacon winner. But it's so like we
Speaker 1: were talking about this, and if I know that you
Speaker 1: have you have a little girl, like, it's so fascinating
Speaker 1: our fascination with baby, like to give a baby a baby,
Speaker 1: because it's like you yourself are a baby. To give
Speaker 1: them babies, well, it's one of the I feel like
Speaker 1: the most earliest human traits that hasn't phased out where
Speaker 1: it's like, well, yeah, you still give birth and have
Speaker 1: to take care of it. And it is whild watching
Speaker 1: like my daughter have a baby, like we never pushed
Speaker 1: baby dolls on it. Like she started treating her stuffed
Speaker 1: animals like before before we even got her a single
Speaker 1: baby doll. It's just like a natural human thing. You
Speaker 1: don't see little boys searching for spears and stabbing their
Speaker 1: stuffed animals yet that And I think it's because it's
Speaker 1: just still around and something that is I guess useful
Speaker 1: to humans, but the baby toys across the border are
Speaker 1: always weird. Like my daughter now has this Baby Alive,
Speaker 1: which gets this weird Yeah, it's like I don't like
Speaker 1: the name. Yeah, it's it gets worse. It eats. It
Speaker 1: has like this weird like plato that you smush and
Speaker 1: make spaghetti, and then like it's makes slurp sounds and
Speaker 1: and and then it's supposed to poop the plato out,
Speaker 1: but if you're familiar with the the texture of plato,
Speaker 1: all it does is get stuck and then creates this
Speaker 1: weird imagery as Dad sticks a jad stick up there
Speaker 1: to dig out the plato. And yeah, I feel so
Speaker 1: bad because like she's staring at me and I'm like,
Speaker 1: I just got to get the food out for you. Baby.
Speaker 1: It's first enema. Oh, it's so it's it's I'm like
Speaker 1: this toy backfired big tea literally, So if Baby Alive
Speaker 1: when we're not talking about it. Baby Alive first came
Speaker 1: out in nineteen really and it had many iterations. I
Speaker 1: had a Baby Alive when I was little. I was
Speaker 1: in love with it. I think mine might have cried.
Speaker 1: There was like definitely a baby that I had a
Speaker 1: baby alive. But then I definitely had a baby. Um,
Speaker 1: I had a water baby that was very popular and
Speaker 1: a baby that would you would like squeeze it would
Speaker 1: cry it with like tears would come out of its eyes.
Speaker 1: Back to My Little Pony depressed, So there was there
Speaker 1: was a short road before we got to Friendship His Magic,
Speaker 1: So it didn't just jump there. That's kind of like
Speaker 1: the best the biggest one right now, but you know,
Speaker 1: it started as as as early as six with My
Speaker 1: Little Pony television series, which you know the language to
Speaker 1: talk about My Little Pony mirrors that if you remember
Speaker 1: the Transformers episode of their being jin one Gin two,
Speaker 1: and that's kind of that era, that early kind of
Speaker 1: small toy era. Then after there was another My Little
Speaker 1: Pony series that was the My Little Pony Tails that
Speaker 1: ran for a short bit and then we got to
Speaker 1: My Little Pony Friendship is Magic, But it all started
Speaker 1: with the first one called My Little Pony in Friends. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and um, we should also mention that was produced by
Speaker 1: sun Bow and that's why a lot of we we've
Speaker 1: talked about Sunbow because they're the ones that the g
Speaker 1: I Joe UM, So there is a lot of similarities. Um,
Speaker 1: and I think Transformers. Yeah, yeah, Transformers as well. So
Speaker 1: there is a lot of similarities all the Disney, like
Speaker 1: all the uh not Disney. It's all that like McDonald's
Speaker 1: toys that we used to get in Happymales that came together.
Speaker 1: The Girl Boy the Sunbow had it on lock. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Speaking of my little pony friend Chip is Magic Aresa.
Speaker 1: I wanted to know some of your favorite characters and
Speaker 1: what they're like, Like, is there is there one that
Speaker 1: like a lot of people gravitate towards that are people
Speaker 1: like favorite. So everybody loves like Twilight Sparkle because she's
Speaker 1: like the main character basically, but I never gravitate towards
Speaker 1: the main character as much as I can like them, Like,
Speaker 1: I still like her. I think she's cute, but like
Speaker 1: I'm much more of a rarity. So she's like the
Speaker 1: bougie one who's like a fashion designer, has like diamonds
Speaker 1: on her butt. I'm like, that's me all day. But
Speaker 1: um but my friends would think I was like a
Speaker 1: rainbow Dash, which is like the rainbow colored one, and
Speaker 1: she's like the gender neutral one just about which I
Speaker 1: can see. I can absolutely see. But she's a little
Speaker 1: more rough and tumble than I am. And then you've
Speaker 1: got like apple Jack, who I would definitely coin as
Speaker 1: a lesbian, but we cannot go there. I'm sure we cannot.
Speaker 1: Do you think that they know her in that way though? Um? Yeah,
Speaker 1: she's like she's like the tomboy one who does like
Speaker 1: farm work and stuff and um, but she has like
Speaker 1: a male counterpart, which is like his name is McIntosh
Speaker 1: or name, Yeah, a big macintoge. It's like her male
Speaker 1: counterpart that also does farm stuff. So I don't you
Speaker 1: don't see them being romantic, Like his name is literally
Speaker 1: big mac. Yeah, that's so that. I was a big macintog.
Speaker 1: I was like, that's an apple. I didn't even think
Speaker 1: of that until just now there's an apple on his butt.
Speaker 1: I'm an idiot, but it's okay. But then, um, you've
Speaker 1: got like the queen Ones, who are Princess Luna and
Speaker 1: Princess Celestia, and they're both good in their own way,
Speaker 1: like one just represents night, one represents a day, which
Speaker 1: is just beautiful. I used to have a Princess Luna
Speaker 1: key chain when I first moved here. Broke. I'm very
Speaker 1: upset anyway, And then um, it's funny because they still
Speaker 1: got Spike on here, which was he was not such
Speaker 1: a cute dragon in the eighties because they yeah, they
Speaker 1: brought him back and they made him super adorable, looking
Speaker 1: like he looks a little like Dexter from Jex's Laboratory
Speaker 1: made into like a dragon. Oh yeah, I was gonna say. Um,
Speaker 1: So Tarace Strong is the voice of Twilight Sparkle. Um.
Speaker 1: I know that she's like really big in the She's
Speaker 1: actually gonna come on our Harley Quinn episode that we
Speaker 1: have coming up. But she, I mean, she's voiced so
Speaker 1: many people, but also very famously voices Twilight Sparkle in
Speaker 1: the in the My Little Pony World. Um. And so
Speaker 1: Twilight Sparkles, like you were saying, her baby dragon assistant
Speaker 1: Spike and her friends in Ponyville. That's where they are
Speaker 1: are referred to as the main six. So are there, um,
Speaker 1: because I know you've seen all the episodes. Are their
Speaker 1: themes that they have, like, um, it always comes back
Speaker 1: to friendship, Like what you're supposed to be doing for friendship,
Speaker 1: how you're supposed to treat people or treat others. There's
Speaker 1: always like a sense of selflessness among them all, which
Speaker 1: is it's a really like That's why it's like even
Speaker 1: as an adult, I'm like, where did these values go,
Speaker 1: like when they all become monster? Well, yeah, you see
Speaker 1: people like step out other people to get to the top.
Speaker 1: And that's not like that for any of them. That
Speaker 1: they'll have like these little dilemmas, but they always do
Speaker 1: the right thing, or if they don't do the right thing,
Speaker 1: they learn their lesson and apologize and then go back in.
Speaker 1: Just there's always they always hold themselves accountable for things.
Speaker 1: And so I think it's got a lot of really
Speaker 1: great lessons to teach kids, but also to teach adults,
Speaker 1: like maybe be nice to one another and just you know,
Speaker 1: be nice to your friends and treat them like your family.
Speaker 1: And oh and they're all so different, which I like,
Speaker 1: each of them has their own personality, like their own
Speaker 1: cut personality, like this one's a little fashion designer, this
Speaker 1: one does farm work. But they can both be friends,
Speaker 1: you know, and there's something beautiful in that because we all,
Speaker 1: like we live in l A, we all hang in
Speaker 1: our own little cliques are we all do the same
Speaker 1: exact thing. And so but when you meet someone outside
Speaker 1: your click, you find out you have a lot more
Speaker 1: in common than you don't have in common. So I
Speaker 1: just think it's interesting how they can bring up together
Speaker 1: all these characters and they all have their own episodes
Speaker 1: or their own focuses, and they all can still be
Speaker 1: friends at the end of the day. It's really ef
Speaker 1: thing cute. It's cute. I love that. I um, I
Speaker 1: wanted to say that we have a top five episodes
Speaker 1: of My Little Pony. This is according to the rap
Speaker 1: here we go. Yeah, so so they started off with
Speaker 1: My Little Pony of the movie in four, so we're
Speaker 1: not even in Friendship's Magic Terror. Yeah, and they say
Speaker 1: rescue at Midnight Castle. My Little Ponies TV debut was
Speaker 1: the only entry in this list not from the newer one,
Speaker 1: but it makes the cut thanks to its influential Rainbows
Speaker 1: and Darkness storyline. So they so it was so good
Speaker 1: that they're like, you know, we're gonna throw this on
Speaker 1: the list. I've I have not seen that episode because
Speaker 1: that's an older one. I haven't I'm sure I've seen it,
Speaker 1: but I'm sure I haven't seen it in about I
Speaker 1: know right, Like it's probably been a long time because
Speaker 1: we used to tape everything off TV, which is in
Speaker 1: my mother's house, and I had a technique with mine.
Speaker 1: You know, you started off. I think it started off
Speaker 1: with like adult Swim which Hunter Robin? It said, which
Speaker 1: Hunter Robin? And it had a few episodes then like
Speaker 1: one quick skin of Max Flick, and then it continued
Speaker 1: with the rest of of the series after that. I'm
Speaker 1: smart and see. But that was the thing. That's like
Speaker 1: when you forgot which VHS you put it on and
Speaker 1: you accidentally record over it. That was that was a
Speaker 1: wild time for technology. We record over some good stuff. Right.
Speaker 1: Luckily I didn't have any bad channels, so I'm almost
Speaker 1: unlock about that. It was just my little pony me,
Speaker 1: not this little pervert, right, Rainbow Bright Gosh, I was
Speaker 1: also a pervert. Moving on to number four, the cutie
Speaker 1: mark Chronicles. This was season one, episode twenty three of
Speaker 1: The Newest Uh Friendship and Magic Um. This is this
Speaker 1: episode connects the radix of the ponies cutie marks with
Speaker 1: an efficacy. It's a really cute episode. Oh yeah, can
Speaker 1: you tell us about Okay, it's a really cute episode. Okay,
Speaker 1: So one of like the younger ponies don't have their
Speaker 1: cutie marks yet because their personalities aren't really that distinct,
Speaker 1: yet you have to grow into what your cutie mark
Speaker 1: is going to be. So yeah, it's isn't it cute? Yeah,
Speaker 1: Like it's really cute, just because it's just like trying
Speaker 1: to gender your child anyway, just kidding, just kidding. I
Speaker 1: was like, I'm gonna get off my little gay soap box.
Speaker 1: We lgbt Q agenda on here. No um. But yeah,
Speaker 1: just like trying to tell your kid like they should
Speaker 1: be a lawyer or they should do this. It's kind
Speaker 1: of neat to let they let them find themselves, and
Speaker 1: they like one of the babies gets super frustrated. I
Speaker 1: can't remember her name right now, forgive me, but she
Speaker 1: gets frustrated because her every all the other kids are
Speaker 1: getting their cutie marks, and she's like, mine's not developing yet.
Speaker 1: And they're like, look at will, like you'll just give
Speaker 1: it some time, try some new things, and they have
Speaker 1: her try all these different things that she might like
Speaker 1: to do and see if that might be the thing
Speaker 1: that like awakens her cutie mark. It's so cute. You
Speaker 1: would give an example of some different cutie marks, like
Speaker 1: I see one is like carrots. Apples like want to
Speaker 1: be like apples want to be like carrots. Wanna be
Speaker 1: like diamonds, want to be like a rainbow, want to
Speaker 1: be like a stormy cloud or like a thundercloud. Uh,
Speaker 1: it's it's something you'd get as like a cute stamp
Speaker 1: tattoo as an adult. It is kind of funny that
Speaker 1: they all have tattoos on them right on their ass.
Speaker 1: Given a great example for kids. Um So. Then moving
Speaker 1: on to number three on this list, Sonic rain Boom.
Speaker 1: This is season one, episode sixteen. Um So. This kind
Speaker 1: of plunges into social anxiety, which is interesting for them
Speaker 1: to tackle. Um Speedster Pegasus Rainbow Dash starts off nervous
Speaker 1: about a flying competition by episodes and she's trembling in
Speaker 1: the fetal position. We also get inside into the aerial
Speaker 1: Pegasus city clouds Dale, and the story finishes with an
Speaker 1: explosive rescue that earned Rainbow Dash respect from cartoon nerds
Speaker 1: across the spectrum of the internet. Do you remember this episode?
Speaker 1: It was a fun episode just because it showed you
Speaker 1: like a different hierarchy of ponies too, because the other
Speaker 1: ponies couldn't get to this Cloudsdale. It's only Pegasus ponies
Speaker 1: I can get there. So if you've got wings, you
Speaker 1: can get there. So I was like, oh, is this
Speaker 1: the up class class? Only rich people can get up?
Speaker 1: Exact this is clouds Dale. You can only get here
Speaker 1: if you here exact exactly. Cloudsdale helps those who help themselves.
Speaker 1: So then they had a Friend Indeed, which had the
Speaker 1: Cranky Doodle donkey moving to pony Vial and Peaky Pie
Speaker 1: is desperate to cheer him up, and Pinky pretty much
Speaker 1: ends up bringing Cranky's loneliness into the spotlight and basically
Speaker 1: shows the world that he's a depressed Why are all
Speaker 1: donkeys animated donkeys depressed? Depressed? I'm like, they seem like
Speaker 1: they're happy on farms and they're very pretty. My friend
Speaker 1: had my friend when I was living in Texas, they
Speaker 1: had donkeys, this most Texas story I've ever told. But
Speaker 1: they're very actually pretty in real life, Like they're gorgeous.
Speaker 1: Donkeys are actually look a lot more like my little ponies. Like,
Speaker 1: if we're gonna go with anatomy of a horse, like
Speaker 1: we have number one being Twilight Kingdom's Part one and
Speaker 1: two where the ponies take the centaur Lord Tairek in
Speaker 1: a blaze of camaraderie, Grace and resplendent multicolored mats, basically
Speaker 1: wrapping up the interwoven plot lines from season four and beyond.
Speaker 1: Towighlight Kingdom draws on lore from the earliest days of
Speaker 1: My Little Pony, and it sounds like the end all
Speaker 1: be All be like it sounds like I'm trying to
Speaker 1: think of another cartoon, but it sounds like the Crease
Speaker 1: saga for My Little Pony, which was the Creas saga.
Speaker 1: Next men is when you had Phoenix pop up or
Speaker 1: I guess the Phoenix saga is what it's known as.
Speaker 1: But the Crease shows up and it's like it slaps
Speaker 1: if you remember. It looks like there's a closing song here,
Speaker 1: Let the Rainbow Remind You, UM, which delivers the most
Speaker 1: concise explanation of pony philosophy. Together, we will Always Shine.
Speaker 1: I didn't realize that they had songs in this. That's
Speaker 1: pretty impressive. Yeah, it's it's it's not every episode, but
Speaker 1: like songs just sneak up on you, but they're always cute,
Speaker 1: Like it's always like a good song, but its friendship
Speaker 1: is all was the theme that, like they never shy
Speaker 1: away from that. UM. So we are going to get
Speaker 1: into Bronie Con and so of the controversy of it.
Speaker 1: Right after these messages and we're back. Actually, I'm going
Speaker 1: to ask both of you because I feel like we
Speaker 1: all have different definitions of this. How would you describe
Speaker 1: Broni Con? Well, I think, like I know that bronies
Speaker 1: are like male My Little Pony fans, Like they can
Speaker 1: be fans of the male ponies, or they could be
Speaker 1: males fans of the female ponies. It's not like discriminatory.
Speaker 1: They're just like grown men that love My Little Pony.
Speaker 1: Nothing wrong with that. I absolutely love it. Um if
Speaker 1: you what about you? What was your first introduction to
Speaker 1: Brownie Con? Oh? Man? I So I was Brownie Con
Speaker 1: kind of came on my way out because I was
Speaker 1: like a Brownie probably just the early Price season one time,
Speaker 1: and just kind of thought the aesthetic and everything. I
Speaker 1: really like that it kind of was bringing this new
Speaker 1: era of like kind of like they were touching on
Speaker 1: stuff that basically had people treating others what respect and
Speaker 1: all this stuff. It was before all the quote unquote
Speaker 1: naughty stuff started getting involved. But so like Briniana kind
Speaker 1: of popped up around the time that it already had
Speaker 1: reached it started reaching its peak for me, and I've
Speaker 1: already I've already jumped off that ship. Yeah, it says
Speaker 1: the appreciation of the show by an older audience came
Speaker 1: as a surprise to Hasbro. I think there were two
Speaker 1: different sets. I think it was kind of this initial
Speaker 1: like humorous slash ironic concept of like people, these older
Speaker 1: people enjoying a show for young girls in quotes, um.
Speaker 1: But then I think that they it actually did develop
Speaker 1: into know, these are people that that really love the
Speaker 1: show and and embraced and so has Bro embraced the
Speaker 1: older fans while still staying focused on the show's intended audience.
Speaker 1: So Brownie Con is an annual fan convention held on
Speaker 1: the East coast of the United States for fans of
Speaker 1: My Little Pony Friendship is Magic. So that was really specific.
Speaker 1: It was for the new show, although I'm sure it
Speaker 1: spans all the shows now. Um, among them a Dalton
Speaker 1: teenage fans of the show who called themselves Brownies again
Speaker 1: it's a play on Bro and Pony. Um. Ten events
Speaker 1: have occurred to date, with the most recent one in
Speaker 1: July drawing five thousand, four hundred sixty five attendees. Though
Speaker 1: originally planned to run through. It was announced at the
Speaker 1: closing ceremonies of the convention that twenty nineteen would be
Speaker 1: the final year. Yeah, I mean that's kind of expected,
Speaker 1: only because the fervor and hype and everything surrounded My
Speaker 1: Little Pony friendship is Magic has kind of died down
Speaker 1: since then. Like, you know, I feel like towards the
Speaker 1: later seasons, people were already kind of jumping off, and
Speaker 1: then they did the one where they're like real humans
Speaker 1: and people were not no one like that at all.
Speaker 1: It also seemed like a weird move, just on the
Speaker 1: back end, knowing that people were already oddly sexualizing some
Speaker 1: of the ponies, like to then make them teenagers. I
Speaker 1: don't know if they thought like, oh, if we do this,
Speaker 1: this will stop you. I don't. I think no one,
Speaker 1: whether it was fans and from any facet was a
Speaker 1: fan of this. But it just kind of put off everyone,
Speaker 1: and it just kind of like fizzled out night. You know,
Speaker 1: I don't hear too much My Little Pony talk anymore,
Speaker 1: like it used to be like the way people are
Speaker 1: talking about Spider sonas like everyone was talking about creating
Speaker 1: the My Little Pony versions of their selves. It was
Speaker 1: just really at the height. And I think it's the
Speaker 1: the fandom itself, and even the show is kind of
Speaker 1: like simmered down. So it makes sense. It's interesting because
Speaker 1: I relate all of it to advertising, like what happened,
Speaker 1: you know? And then if you don't like where it's going,
Speaker 1: like get new writers in the writer's room, Like see
Speaker 1: what has fresh ideas. You don't have to work with
Speaker 1: the same people all the time. Get some fresh ideas
Speaker 1: in there. I'm not saying clean house. I'm saying clean
Speaker 1: house guys. Learn how to run a business. Yeah, Like
Speaker 1: this thing has been alivee for like thirty years. Get
Speaker 1: rid of them, get rid of the weak lane. But
Speaker 1: I mean, even like looking at the past, it seems
Speaker 1: like that's just the wave of my little ponies. It's
Speaker 1: like a flash in the pan. It's popping for a bit,
Speaker 1: and then as soon as the interest kind of slows down,
Speaker 1: it just we pull out and we'll come back later,
Speaker 1: you know. And I think that's because if you think
Speaker 1: of like a company like Hasbro itself, it has its
Speaker 1: rotation of toys. So like even though for my little
Speaker 1: pony fans and everyone involved in that, it's like, oh,
Speaker 1: it's over Hasbro has already probably been pushing a new
Speaker 1: product marketed towards little girls that kind of fills that
Speaker 1: hole that was left by My Little Pony, but it
Speaker 1: just doesn't have that mass appeal that friendship is magic.
Speaker 1: He Um. I did want to say, this is from
Speaker 1: geek reply that, um, Brownie's have an image problem. Um,
Speaker 1: why did you laugh? Well, because it's did you know
Speaker 1: that it kind of originated from four chan, So that
Speaker 1: already in itself not not the safest environment for women
Speaker 1: and people of color, I feel like, but this is
Speaker 1: from a Wired article in defense of Brownie's. Brownie's watched
Speaker 1: the show because it's not a typical kids show. It
Speaker 1: has humor at different levels, clever writing, and the action
Speaker 1: is good. There's a community of Brownie's that watched the
Speaker 1: show together, at least chat online, share art. I do
Speaker 1: see a lot of that on Tumbler and deviant art.
Speaker 1: There's a lot of My Little Pony art, um, fan
Speaker 1: fiction games and meet up at conventions. So like everything,
Speaker 1: like anything that we have talked about this year, there
Speaker 1: are dark sides too, you know, and bad fans that
Speaker 1: give the rest of us a bad name. Well, here's
Speaker 1: the thing. It's not even that. I think it's just
Speaker 1: a general Internet nerd um thing. As someone who's been
Speaker 1: on the Internet since uh, you know probably if I
Speaker 1: had to put a number one, i'd say probably when
Speaker 1: I was eight. You know. It's the what happens on
Speaker 1: the Internet is if there's a weird fringe thing that
Speaker 1: not everyone on the Internet understands, and they find one
Speaker 1: off thing about it, then that becomes the laughing stock.
Speaker 1: Like it's funny to see people now real chill on
Speaker 1: furries because you have someone like Sonic Fox, who was
Speaker 1: like this huge advocate and this well rounded, cool individual
Speaker 1: who you want to champion. But before Furies were the
Speaker 1: punching bag of the Internet, because it's like you are
Speaker 1: the You are these weird group of people who like
Speaker 1: to pretend to be animals, and you have sex and
Speaker 1: mascot suits and and and that's just the kind of
Speaker 1: cycle of the Internet is if there's a weird outlier
Speaker 1: in some type of nerddom that and and like it
Speaker 1: doesn't matter if it was one brownie who did uh
Speaker 1: who made like rule thirty four version of it, then
Speaker 1: that's that's the the whole communities image now, because that's
Speaker 1: the thing that's gonna go viral that people are sharing. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and so that's and that's kind of the thing. And
Speaker 1: there will be a new version of brownies or furries
Speaker 1: as we get you know, deeper into new nerd ums
Speaker 1: and new fandoms and some and people find a way
Speaker 1: to I mean, the rule thirty four, out of all
Speaker 1: the things to have come out of fortune, has been
Speaker 1: the truest and real rule of the Internet, which, if
Speaker 1: you don't know, rule thirty four is so the four
Speaker 1: Chane used to come up with all these weird rules. Um,
Speaker 1: and I believe it might have originated from b which
Speaker 1: is just the worst part of fortune. But we all
Speaker 1: sifted through it for memes and lulls. But you know,
Speaker 1: they had a list of rules and rule thirty four
Speaker 1: and I broke I broke rules one and two right
Speaker 1: now by talking about b U. But rule thirty four
Speaker 1: was if it exists on the Internet, there is porn
Speaker 1: of it. And but but so, like that's what's so
Speaker 1: curious and interesting about Brownie's is they kind of got
Speaker 1: that tough shake of like, you know, because like the
Speaker 1: existence of Brownie was interesting because it took this it
Speaker 1: flipped the gender norm by them existing in general, was
Speaker 1: it was these group of males who this show that
Speaker 1: was marketed towards little girls, found something in it that
Speaker 1: they enjoyed and appreciated it, and that's actually something pretty cool.
Speaker 1: And then you have people who just were like, I
Speaker 1: can't enjoy a thing without turning it into a porn thing,
Speaker 1: and then that became attached to that same group, and
Speaker 1: now that's what people thought of the group. But but
Speaker 1: but you know, that's, like I said, it's just the
Speaker 1: cycle of of the internet. I think it's an interesting
Speaker 1: thinking about Brownie is the way you just said it, Uh, Like,
Speaker 1: why it was so taboo for like a group of
Speaker 1: like grown men to latch onto the show. And I
Speaker 1: think a lot of it has to do with what
Speaker 1: we're taught about color as children, because it is a
Speaker 1: pastel world that they're all living in, and so to
Speaker 1: think of grown men in a pastel world, it doesn't compute.
Speaker 1: And so if the if the show was darker, like
Speaker 1: a little like you know, just darker period, like, if
Speaker 1: everything was more saturated, maybe it'd be a little more
Speaker 1: believable that they liked it. But it's like, no, these
Speaker 1: are pastels, you know, So I think it's really weird
Speaker 1: to even like where why you're saying it like that.
Speaker 1: I was like, oh my god, yeah, grown men in
Speaker 1: a pastel universe. I can't see it. Weird, so weird,
Speaker 1: And it's just colors. Colors in universal they're everywhere. At
Speaker 1: least everything we're fed in media and in life is
Speaker 1: just kind of the foundation of it. Are these like
Speaker 1: gender norms that were unaware of? Yeah, I did want
Speaker 1: to say to their credit because they were saying that
Speaker 1: it has, you know, some adult themes, that it's not
Speaker 1: just for kids necessarily. The lead animator and writer Lauren FoST,
Speaker 1: who was responsible for this reemergence of My Little Pony,
Speaker 1: the latest show the Friendship and Magic, She when she
Speaker 1: was first approached about doing it, said she was extremely
Speaker 1: skeptical about taking the job at first because she had
Speaker 1: always found shows based on girls toys to be boring
Speaker 1: and unrelatable. She said My Little Pony was one of
Speaker 1: her favorite childhood toys, but she was disappointed that her
Speaker 1: imagination at the time was nothing like the animated shows
Speaker 1: in which the characters, according to Fast just had endless
Speaker 1: tea parties, giggled over nothing, and defeated villains by either
Speaker 1: sharing with them or crying. So it's come a long way.
Speaker 1: So it has that that was a full read. She
Speaker 1: likes snatched my little pony's wig. She's like, by the way,
Speaker 1: but I mean, but she's and so that was what
Speaker 1: it was, and it was kind of this, um so
Speaker 1: she said, with the chance to work on my Little ponies,
Speaker 1: she hoped to prove that quote, cartoons for girls don't
Speaker 1: have to be a puddle of smushy, cutesy wootsy goody
Speaker 1: two shoes. And I think that is why we have
Speaker 1: some of the like you said, gender neutral or tomboy
Speaker 1: characters are like even some like that are working in
Speaker 1: the farms and like it's not just these pretty princesses
Speaker 1: a sense, yes, some have like real last jobs. Yeah
Speaker 1: so um yeah. So I think that that with this
Speaker 1: new iteration, they wanted to tackle some of the stereotypes
Speaker 1: for girls, and that's why I think it also appealed
Speaker 1: probably to a larger audience and became what it did. Um.
Speaker 1: I feel like they could take it a step further,
Speaker 1: like let's have like a parole officer pony, you know,
Speaker 1: let's let's go there are police. But I'm just like
Speaker 1: where it's like a judicial phony. Yeah, because like you're
Speaker 1: wondering why it's falling off, it's because it's probably getting repetitive,
Speaker 1: so repetitive that you had to turn them into people
Speaker 1: and so stretch it like you wanted to stretch it
Speaker 1: before stretch it again, you know, because we're not going
Speaker 1: to let this die out. We're just gonna see it
Speaker 1: again in six years space again. Space hit them up.
Speaker 1: I can write on my Latin pending my little Pony,
Speaker 1: Intergalactic Pony, Honey stars are magic. We leave anything out
Speaker 1: or anything that we needed to mention. I'm trying to
Speaker 1: any final thoughts on my little Pony. My absolutely, I'll
Speaker 1: always love my little pony. They held hold a special
Speaker 1: place in my heart. Um and one protects your closet.
Speaker 1: Oh no, it's like nine. It's like nine. That's just
Speaker 1: the biggest one. No, people give them to me as
Speaker 1: gifts all the time. I've never bought him my little
Speaker 1: pony myself. Like a friend friend Chris got me like
Speaker 1: a Christmas ornament of rainbow dsh and I was like,
Speaker 1: thank you, wonderful and then um so it was on
Speaker 1: my tree and then I have a rarity with my
Speaker 1: little beanie baby Princess Diana Bear sitting on top of it,
Speaker 1: and so they're purple together. But um, and then I
Speaker 1: have a wait, did you see your Princess Diana from
Speaker 1: like you have a tag protector for it? I do?
Speaker 1: And what I have another one that's in the case.
Speaker 1: It's like in the case it's probably worth like ten
Speaker 1: whole dollars on either and if it's not, everyone DM me,
Speaker 1: I will sell it to you anyway. I'm not attached
Speaker 1: to those. Um a reason. If you could as sign
Speaker 1: IFFI and I am my little pony, Oh my god,
Speaker 1: how fine? Okay, Um, you'd have to be like a
Speaker 1: chill a pony if he because like a chill stylish pony,
Speaker 1: because you're up on the brands. I'm watching you. I
Speaker 1: was like, that's theme is that champion? They just came back?
Speaker 1: How did you get that? How he cop that? Like
Speaker 1: it's out has let. Yeah, and then you would have
Speaker 1: to be I'm like a worker. No, you'd have to
Speaker 1: be some sort of like balance pony, like that's like
Speaker 1: a Sally Jesse Rafael pony, because like, no, because you're good.
Speaker 1: Bit I love that. I love that. The adjective like
Speaker 1: me was balanced peacemaker, peacemaker pony. I feel like you'd
Speaker 1: be a good peacemakers like a peacemaker pony. Like. Look, guys,
Speaker 1: let's talk this out. See everybody so quick. Question the
Speaker 1: Princess Diana beanie baby? You said, is it the purple
Speaker 1: one with the rose on a chill? Yes? I have
Speaker 1: two of them. It's going for one dollars on even
Speaker 1: that's not enough to cover my phone bell. I know,
Speaker 1: but I'll think about it. Thank you times, get really tough.
Speaker 1: I'll do it. Yeah. You know you got a Honda one.
Speaker 1: You just happen to get one of the only expensive ones, right, Yeah,
Speaker 1: I would say that's Um, we talked about my little pony.
Speaker 1: My God friendship is magic. Yeah. So I hope you
Speaker 1: really enjoyed it. It was fun to talk about. Uh,
Speaker 1: do you have anything to plug for our listeners? Oh?
Speaker 1: My god? Follow me on Instagram and Twitter if you
Speaker 1: want to. I'm not really on Twitter like that, but
Speaker 1: follow me on Instagram at Aristocrat. I'm the only one
Speaker 1: with the blue check mark collar. And then um, you
Speaker 1: can watch my new show called What the Flip on
Speaker 1: in two More's YouTube channel, and it's a an LGBT
Speaker 1: show tackling issues within the community, which has nothing to
Speaker 1: do with My Little Ponies, but friendship is still magic there.
Speaker 1: You know, we'll probably tweet out some my Little Pony
Speaker 1: fan art I work I love. We'll probably tweet some
Speaker 1: out someone turned me into a pony. Please do it.
Speaker 1: Um I am at ms Annie Fernandez. And you know
Speaker 1: we didn't get to cover we didn't get to dive
Speaker 1: into all of the like I know, there was a
