Y2K Media

[00:00:16] Speaker A: Oh, it's young. Once again, in the blissful naivete that fuels our curiosity to discover the sights, sounds and sensations where it permanently leaves its mark on our psyches, shaping who we become. Today, we'll be reminiscing on the media who shaped us all today, specifically from the Internet. Even more specifically from the 2000s, with maybe some 2000s mentions. This will be the media that shaped the Internet culture as we know it today. Some of it will remain to be cherished forever. And some of this media that we'll be mentioning may be taken to the grave. So my name is Cynical, and I'll be joined today by the usual suspects. Violent Painter. [00:00:52] Speaker B: Oh, oh, I'm. I'm Violent Painter. [00:00:54] Speaker A: Cson. [00:00:55] Speaker C: Okay, give me a second here. Let me look at this screen. [00:00:58] Speaker D: It. [00:00:59] Speaker A: Hey, what's up? [00:01:01] Speaker C: Was that what you wanted me to say? [00:01:03] Speaker B: Good one. [00:01:04] Speaker A: Yeah, that sounds great. Panda. Panda Girl. I should clarify. [00:01:08] Speaker E: Panda Girl. That's Panda with P4ND4. [00:01:11] Speaker A: Yeah, that. That only makes sense to us. And today we're also going to be joined by a friend that I can only describe as Bomb. We've known him for a while. How's a hanging, Bomb? [00:01:25] Speaker E: Wait, can I ask one question? Is it. Do you prefer One or Bombino? That was my one question thing. [00:01:31] Speaker D: It's the same thing. I go under both. It don't matter. How's it going? I'm glad to be here. [00:01:35] Speaker A: Awesome. Well, thank you for joining us. It's going to be a really cool episode. I do have some opening questions for Bomb real quick since he's going to be joining us today. We've known Bomb for a bit and we know a little bit about him, but I figured he would introduce himself. So that being said, what would you say is your favorite game right now? [00:01:53] Speaker D: Undoubtedly the North American opening to Gran Turismo 4, because you start with an epic orchestral suite, so to speak, and then a quick cut into Van Halen's Panama with a bunch of cars just racing in the background. And that was the shit when I was 9 years old. Get goosebumps every time just thinking of it. [00:02:13] Speaker A: 4. 4. Was that. Was that on PS1? [00:02:16] Speaker D: PlayStation 2. [00:02:17] Speaker A: PlayStation 2. Okay, I was right. [00:02:18] Speaker D: 1 and 2 were on PlayStation 1 and 3 and 4. Then we segued on to PS5 with 5 and on. [00:02:26] Speaker A: Yeah, I thought they were gonna do a Gran Turismo for every single, like, PlayStation release. Am I? Am I? Like, didn't they have it on the PS3 too? [00:02:34] Speaker D: Of course they did. And that's. That's causing or Yamauchi's brainchild. Man, every PlayStation a grand tourismo. [00:02:42] Speaker A: Damn. [00:02:43] Speaker D: Not sponsored. By the way, Yamauchi san, if you want to sponsor this stream right now, hit us up. [00:02:49] Speaker B: So that would make five Gran Turismos. [00:02:50] Speaker E: Did you watch the Gran Turismo movie? [00:02:53] Speaker D: I can't say I have, but I've heard a lot of good things about it. There was a couple of like iffy things about it. But when I do get the chance, I'm totally going to watch it legally. Trust me guys. [00:03:03] Speaker E: Legally 100%. [00:03:05] Speaker A: Wait, so you have seen it? [00:03:06] Speaker E: No, I have not seen it yet. [00:03:08] Speaker A: Oh, you have? [00:03:08] Speaker D: But I have plans to see it through legal, totally legal means. [00:03:12] Speaker A: By the way, from the outside looking in, as someone who's like a bigger fan of like Gran Turismo. Do you. Do you speculate late? Like what do you. What would you expect? Would you expect. Would you expect to enjoy the movie? I'm stuttering bigger fan. [00:03:25] Speaker C: This dude. This is the only guy I know that likes racing games. Like, I mean, I would like this guy. [00:03:32] Speaker D: I can 100 keep it up. [00:03:34] Speaker B: Isn't the movie like about like the game? Like it's a competitive gaming? [00:03:40] Speaker D: From what I read, it was like something about. Yeah, it was about some kid that entered holding the Gran Turismo Academy or something. Like he had qualified for it or something. [00:03:50] Speaker B: Yeah, I got a synopsis. [00:03:52] Speaker D: He became a professional racer. All of that. A lot of drama in that for sure because there was a couple of accidents he was in, but other than that, you know, rags to riches story, fucking English kid making it off the streets of London onto the racetrack. [00:04:07] Speaker E: You mean the game? That's what the game is based on? [00:04:09] Speaker D: No, no, that's what the movie is. [00:04:10] Speaker E: No, that's the movie. Okay. [00:04:11] Speaker D: But he played the video game growing up, so. Okay, yeah, that going for him. [00:04:15] Speaker A: Yeah, yeah. I've seen those rigs for like the PS5 that are so insanely elaborate where they have like a whole room for Gran Turismo just to simulate the feeling of like being inside one of those. [00:04:29] Speaker D: I get envious watching like videos of like sim racers playing other games like Assetto Corsa or like any other niche racing title on a sim rig. And I'm just like, I'd like to have that. So what I gotta rob to get one of those? [00:04:42] Speaker A: Yeah, because aren't they like fucking like $5,000 or some shit? Like. [00:04:46] Speaker D: Yeah, it's not even. And it's not just an all in one thing. Like you have to buy the parts separate. Well, I'm pretty sure there are. I'm pretty sure there are all in. [00:04:54] Speaker A: Ones, but it has to be, like, 10 grand. That's. [00:04:56] Speaker D: Parts are very expensive. Yes. [00:04:59] Speaker A: Yeah, I love watching, like, I don't watch, like, Gran Turismo Sims, but I do like, watching those, like, truck simulators. [00:05:07] Speaker D: I've seen some really good clips there. Yeah. [00:05:11] Speaker C: Oh, yeah, those are good right there. [00:05:15] Speaker A: That's my. [00:05:16] Speaker B: Just trying to connect the trailer. Yeah, that's such a good. [00:05:20] Speaker D: Only life on the road, dude. Just, like, hitting up your fellow truckers, like, 10, four. Breaker, breaker. [00:05:26] Speaker A: Pissing in beer bottles, snorting Adderall. [00:05:28] Speaker E: Have y' all ever seen those videos of the. There's, like, a. There's, like, one or two people out there that are doing that do it, but they're. They do the racing games or whatever, but when they crash, they, like, accurately do it. [00:05:40] Speaker A: Yes. [00:05:40] Speaker E: I love in real life, like, they act like they're getting flung around the car when they crash. [00:05:46] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:05:46] Speaker C: The one guy always acts like he's talking to his kids. He's like, all right, guys, don't worry about. Oh, wait, wait. Guys, stop talking. Wait. And just, like, flies over and stuff. [00:05:54] Speaker A: My favorite. My favorite one is, like, he. He, like, dries off a cliff, and he's just like, I'm sorry. I'm sorry. And then he hits the ground, and he just flies off. He's like, I'm sorry. I'm so sorry. [00:06:04] Speaker D: Really dramatic goodbye. Like, it's over. [00:06:06] Speaker E: I love it. [00:06:07] Speaker C: They have to have very, very, like, very durable headsets, because every time they jerk their head back, they need, like, a chiropractor or something, but that headset flies back. Like, they have to be buying new gear or something. And I. I feel bad for their whiplash. [00:06:21] Speaker A: Their. Their chairs are always wrecked because you. They. They just fling them back. [00:06:28] Speaker D: Dude, I've seen those. Yeah. [00:06:30] Speaker A: Yeah, dude. Well, I got one more question for you, Bomb, before we move on to the. Back to the main topic, because I think we all did this, but I don't think we ever got to have you. Oh, wait, I gu. [00:06:40] Speaker D: Did. [00:06:41] Speaker A: If you had to use only one meme for the rest of your life, it's the only one whether you made it up or whatever. Like, it could be known. It could be not known. Which would it be if you could only. If you had, like, a catchphrase? Like, you could only say the one thing in your life. [00:06:55] Speaker D: Steve. It's like that. That meme of, like, Shaggy and Fred and Velma in the woods, camping, and, like. Like a Shaggy And Freder smoking weed while, like, Velma's asleep. And he's, like, describing all this shit really intricately. If you haven't seen it. Delicate Steve on YouTube. [00:07:14] Speaker C: Yeah, I'll. [00:07:14] Speaker D: I'll link you guys after Delicate Steve. And it should be like. Yeah, and it should be a thumbnail of, like, Shaggy with, like, a. A flashlight on his head. [00:07:25] Speaker E: I got it, I got it. [00:07:26] Speaker A: I gotta see. Put it in the date. [00:07:28] Speaker D: I can't say no. [00:07:30] Speaker A: Oh, this? [00:07:32] Speaker D: Yes, that one. That's the one. [00:07:33] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:07:34] Speaker D: If you recognize it. [00:07:36] Speaker A: He does, like, the Yeti videos too, right? [00:07:38] Speaker D: Believe so. I've only seen that one on repeat. Yeah, there you go. Delicate Steve. Gooby snack. [00:07:43] Speaker C: That's. [00:07:44] Speaker E: That's the one, huh? That's the one you'd have for the rest of your life. Nothing else. [00:07:48] Speaker A: That's the only. [00:07:48] Speaker D: I don't know. [00:07:49] Speaker A: That's cool. [00:07:50] Speaker D: It's equal parts beautiful and funny and, you know, life, bro. Life in a video. [00:07:56] Speaker A: Okay, so basically we're going to start with, like, some of this 2010 stuff. I think we. We have some particular ones prepared here. So it's kind of like. I'm asking you again, but if you had to describe yourself using an old viral video or meme, what would it be? I'm going to start, and then we can go down the list here. So it's my life. It's whatever I want to do. Okay, so this video. I love this video so much. Okay. And this is. This is. I don't know if anyone else. I'm a musician. Like, I. I write my own music. So does Painter. I think we have a couple other musicians here, too, but we. This. This song, basically, this is how I feel like everyone sees my music. And I love this song so much because this guy is just being so unabashedly himself in the song, even though it makes barely a lick of sense. [00:08:54] Speaker C: Let me see. [00:08:55] Speaker A: Is there. Is there lyrics? Let me get the lyrics pulled up real quick. But it's. It's My Life, Whatever I Want to do by Vanu Malesh. And it's a beautiful song. It's a song about being true to yourself. And it's. The music video is also incredibly inspiring. You see him in the studio, like, singing all the lyrics. He's got a guest singer on there. She does really. She. She's really. She's in there and badass. It's fucking. It's just. It's the most badass thing that you could possibly. Is just be unabashedly yourself. So the first verse is it's my life Whatever I want to do it's my life Wherever I want to go it's my life who I want to love oh, it's my life Whatever I want to talk it's my life Wherever I want to walk it's my life Whom I want to leave oh oh. [00:09:46] Speaker E: Oh oh, oh and how would you, how do you pronounce his name? Is it Vinu Malish? [00:09:50] Speaker A: It's Venu, I think. Forgive me if I'm butchering it, but I'm pretty sure it's Venu Malesh. [00:09:55] Speaker E: Hell yeah. [00:09:56] Speaker D: Any of our Indian viewers, if you want to like clarify that, you can totally. [00:10:00] Speaker E: The description on YouTube for this video is It's My Life. Whatever I Want to do is a non fictional, psychological and philosophical song written by me. My life inspired me to write the lyrics, the lyrics inspired me to compose the tune. Lyrics and tune inspired me to sing. That's what the actual happened to the born of the song. [00:10:20] Speaker C: Literally. [00:10:21] Speaker A: Like, can I just. Dude, he's such a genius. Okay, but, but here's the thing is that in verse two, he kind of goes on to. To combat these misconceptions about him. And it starts with people think that I am somewhat mental. They don't know that I am very sentimental. Friend of mine said I am a waste fellow. He don't know the taste of this fellow. That's, you know, it might be a little. It's kind of hard when you think about it. [00:10:52] Speaker E: That's badass. [00:10:53] Speaker C: Yeah, it's kind of just like even though I'm an action star, sometimes I'm act bizarre. [00:10:59] Speaker D: It's kind of like that. [00:11:00] Speaker A: Yeah. Oh my God. My teacher scolds me that I neglect education. That's kind of. That's crazy. She don't know that I collect real education. [00:11:10] Speaker E: My neighbor, he's just like Eminem for real, dude. [00:11:13] Speaker D: He is spitting. [00:11:14] Speaker A: Dude. [00:11:15] Speaker C: He. [00:11:15] Speaker A: He's the only person that could rhyme education with education. [00:11:19] Speaker D: If you think he's crazy, that's all I'm saying. [00:11:23] Speaker A: My neighbor thinks that I am wasting my time. He don't know that he is wasting his time. My mother sees me and she always bother. My father trusts me and treats me like his father. So there's. There's a lot of history and a lot of passion and I. You know what, I relate because I feel misunderstood all the time. And I think that this is a perfect depiction of just what it means to be misunderstood. And I think that he has only had this song to really reveal himself. The singer's Name is Lipsika Bashyam, and she's very talented. She asks him during the middle of the song, what the hell do you think of yourself? And this is my favorite part. Great answer. He responds, just, I always search good and bad. I also search bad and good. So I am a very good bad boy. Yes, exactly. It really speaks to the nuance of, like, the events in our life, like, how, you know, there. There's, you know, good outcomes within bad situations and, you know, maybe bad outcomes in good situations. Exactly, exactly. And so, like, when you. [00:12:38] Speaker E: I am a very good bad boy. [00:12:40] Speaker B: And I'm a very good bad boy. [00:12:41] Speaker A: See, because he's still. It's still hard, you know, because he's like. He is. There's. There's good inside him, but, you know, he is still a bad boy at the end of the day. You know what I'm saying? [00:12:51] Speaker D: Before you continue, can I just interject for a moment, like, that shot of the. The guest singer, you know, kind of like, you know, cracking up a little bit. It's kind of representative of, like, society doubting you. You know what I mean? He's like, okay, bro. Yeah, exactly. [00:13:07] Speaker A: I feel so fucking seen right now, dude, because she. [00:13:09] Speaker B: She. [00:13:10] Speaker A: She said she. She kind of looks at him, like, with. With a little bit of, like. Like, what the fuck? [00:13:14] Speaker C: Okay. [00:13:14] Speaker D: All right, bro. [00:13:15] Speaker A: Little does she know, he's a very good bad boy. [00:13:19] Speaker E: Hell, yeah. [00:13:19] Speaker C: You know every country singer that said something like, I'm a bad boy, but I'm a good man. I think they all learned it from this guy. [00:13:27] Speaker A: Yeah, the pinnacle. [00:13:29] Speaker D: The pinnacle. This guy should have a segment on genius. [00:13:31] Speaker E: Like, the sad thing here is he hasn't posted in four years. [00:13:36] Speaker B: He didn't need to. He didn't need to. [00:13:38] Speaker A: He. Listen, sometimes as an artist, you get what you say. Like, you say what you say, and then you leave. And I think we were just blessed with this. [00:13:47] Speaker D: It's kind of like Frank Ocean, like, he drops a album every few years and then just disappears without, like, fucking saying anything. Then he just comes out of nowhere with another album. That's what he does. This guy's pretty much Frank Ocean. [00:13:59] Speaker A: Crazy. [00:13:59] Speaker D: Yeah. [00:14:01] Speaker B: Would like to see more, though. I. I mean, I know I may not need more, but I'm with you. I need some more drops. That's. That's the truth. [00:14:10] Speaker A: The best that we're gonna have to do is just one more verse that I'm gonna recite here. Let's go. It says, I am a daydreamer. I am a night worker. You know, the Dichotomy between day and night. Goosebumps. I am a risk taker. I am a self blamer. Yes. I am a brain eater. I'm a heart stealer. I'm a mind reader. I am a truth finder. I am a smart cheater. I am a painkiller. I'm a good teacher. I'm a perfect learner. I'm a backbencher. I'm a new sensor. I think. I think that's not. I think that's referring to like he's able to sense things or the way that it's spelled. It sounds like he's trying to make sense. [00:14:52] Speaker E: Right. [00:14:53] Speaker C: To think of is like, I'm white Moses. I'm black Jesus. [00:14:56] Speaker A: Hail. [00:14:57] Speaker C: Close. That's all I could think of when you're like going through this, that sort of cadence. [00:15:01] Speaker E: Actually have a. Actually have a good update, everybody. He's still active on Facebook and he's making movies now. [00:15:08] Speaker C: What? [00:15:08] Speaker A: Oh, my God. Is he Bollywood, dude? He's like, please don't. [00:15:13] Speaker D: He's evolving as an artist. He's naturally evolving as an artist. Dude, that's beautiful. [00:15:18] Speaker E: This was August 14th. [00:15:20] Speaker D: I love that. [00:15:20] Speaker E: We are looking for a talented Indian actress for the lead role in our upcoming coming English film. [00:15:25] Speaker B: Oh, now I'm excited. [00:15:27] Speaker A: I can't believe that this artist is back at it. [00:15:30] Speaker D: That's coming soon to Netflix near you, dude. [00:15:32] Speaker A: I love that. [00:15:33] Speaker E: That's Vinu Malish on Facebook. Everyone remember that. [00:15:37] Speaker A: Idzver. I am a soul builder. I am very anger. I know it's very danger. I am my life driver. I am a routine changer. I am a rules breaker. I'll start a new chapter. And it's fucking badass, dude. It's so fucking cool. [00:15:54] Speaker D: That show would go triple platinum out here in the States. I'm not gonna lie, dude. Can I like, keep it a bug? Yeah, absolutely. [00:15:59] Speaker B: Is it not. Is it not triple platinum already? [00:16:01] Speaker A: I'm pretty. It has to be triple platinum, actually. I think it is actually. It may actually be triple platinum. Hold on. [00:16:07] Speaker D: We're gonna have to confirm that. [00:16:11] Speaker A: Leave only one. If you don't like anyone, live alone. [00:16:17] Speaker B: Okay, so 1976, the RIAA introduced the platinum certification for the sale of 1 million units for albums and 2 million for singles. So if we're looking at 36 million listens here on. We're a little beyond triple platinum. [00:16:35] Speaker D: So there's like quad. [00:16:37] Speaker A: It's actually not. He's not even thinking about that. Like, that's. That's so far beyond him, actually. [00:16:43] Speaker D: He's a What's after. What's after platinum, then, like, diamond fucking. [00:16:47] Speaker A: I think it's like. It's like platinum, then double platinum, then triple platinum, and I think it just goes on, so. Oh, there is diamond. [00:16:52] Speaker D: Beyond that, what is. [00:16:53] Speaker A: There is a diamond. [00:16:54] Speaker B: Never heard diamond. Diamond album. Oh, it's 10 million units sold. [00:16:58] Speaker D: Okay. Enchanted. [00:17:00] Speaker A: Is that a triple diamond, maybe triple diamond. [00:17:04] Speaker B: Triple diamond and Triple Platinum for 36 million. If we're considering a view, like a sale of a single. [00:17:11] Speaker A: I love that. [00:17:12] Speaker C: Or. [00:17:13] Speaker A: I was gonna say I love that. He. He leaves the. He leaves the song with, like, kind of like a. Like, almost like a. Almost like a. Like a. Like a warning. He says, don't believe me. I am a true liar. [00:17:27] Speaker E: Damn. So the whole song was just. [00:17:30] Speaker D: Was he capping the whole time, like, what's going on here? [00:17:32] Speaker A: No. Not even a jk? Not even a jk. It's. He's just. I don't know if that means that he's like a compulsive liar where he just lies for no reason, but I think he's saying that he does lie, but he tells the truth about it. [00:17:46] Speaker D: So. [00:17:46] Speaker C: Bro's just hitting you with the thing. Like, the below statement is false. The above statement is true. [00:17:51] Speaker A: Exactly. [00:17:52] Speaker D: There's a lot of logical fallacies. Classic D and D. I don't know, Dude. [00:17:57] Speaker A: Oh, my God. [00:17:57] Speaker C: Dude. [00:17:58] Speaker D: So he. What he really put out was a riddle wrapped up in a song. [00:18:01] Speaker A: If you think about it, it's. It's. It's a lot of things. If you. It's a lot to unpack. It's an expression. It's a riddle. It's. It's a change of routine. And definitely it's my life. It's. And it's his life, and it's whatever he wants to do. It's. Honestly, like, I think everyone could learn from the new Malesh and just doing whatever the fuck you want and. And just really just cherishing yourself and making the most out of everything, you know? Because I think if you watch the video again, it's called It's My Life. [00:18:34] Speaker B: I'm getting chills. [00:18:36] Speaker A: And, like, if you. If you just follow your dreams and. And just, like, go after what you want and you. And you're relentless and sometimes a true liar, then you can get what you want. Because I'm pretty sure that, you know, and obviously he's. He's had a great. He's had great success since then. He's making a movie. So, I mean, we could all learn from. We could all learn from Venu. [00:18:57] Speaker D: Shout out Venu Malesh. If you're. If you're watching this, we fuck with you. [00:19:01] Speaker C: Heavy. You know, I once, like, heard a story there. The new Mallesh was at a grocery store and a boy didn't have enough money for his groceries, so he paid for him. And that boy grew up to be Bon Jovi. [00:19:19] Speaker A: You know what? It's kind of a dick move, actually, that Bon Jovi hasn't even bothered to mention Venu Malesh in any of his music. [00:19:25] Speaker D: You'd think he'd be dropped. [00:19:28] Speaker A: Yeah, what if he. What if. What if he's the. What if the new Malesh is the. [00:19:32] Speaker D: Cowboy on a steel horse you rode? [00:19:34] Speaker A: I mean, it wouldn't surprise me. I mean, he does whatever the fuck he wants, you know, he can. That's his. That's his thing. Anyways. That's. [00:19:42] Speaker E: That's the song that. That you would use to describe yourself as. [00:19:45] Speaker D: Well, speak your truth, man. [00:19:47] Speaker A: Exactly a thousand percent. And I've blasted this. Going down the road, going 80 miles an hour in a 30 and just. Just screaming at the wind, you know, I'm free. And this. That song helped me feel that. [00:20:02] Speaker E: That's awesome. [00:20:02] Speaker A: You know what I'm saying? [00:20:04] Speaker D: My life has never been the same since I heard this. [00:20:07] Speaker A: I'm going to defer to bomb to bring up our next video that we wanted to go over. [00:20:13] Speaker D: A Tankman one. Yes. So this particular series, like, it was big for games, especially in middle school, because New grounds, you know, it was like only the. The few years. [00:20:26] Speaker A: New grounds mentioned. [00:20:27] Speaker D: New grounds, brother. Thank you. This is like one of the. Dude, if you look at, like the. The logo for Newgrounds, it's actually based off the series. [00:20:35] Speaker A: Pretty base. [00:20:36] Speaker B: I agree. [00:20:37] Speaker C: It is. [00:20:37] Speaker D: So there's a lot of. There's a lot to unpack with this one. Not really, because this. This. This particular series of cartoons lives rent free in my head because it brings me back to middle school days. And I remember sharing this video with, like, so many of my friends in school. Like, they would watch this shit and they were like, hey, Bob, you know, remember that video that you should us and like, yeah, man. And I'd be fucking quoting this shit word for word. So basically, it's just. It's a really nonsensical war between two warring factions. We don't know who they really are. We don't know why they're fighting, but it's just a whole bunch of nonsense, you know, a lot of slapstick, a lot of pop culture references. This guy loves to reference back to the future. Even down in the. I think in like the second episode. Well, quote unquote, second, because there's like in the series and he hasn't made one past two. But I remember just watching this non stop and quoting it with friends, endlessly. [00:21:33] Speaker A: Watching it right now and. And I'm like, this is Newgrounds. It's literally. Newgrounds is literally the branding. Wait, so is the person who made this, like, directly, I mean, like, is it the person that made new grounds, is what I'm asking, I guess is what is what I'm saying. [00:21:49] Speaker D: No, but he was definitely integral in like its early years. [00:21:52] Speaker C: John Newgrounds. [00:21:54] Speaker A: John. Yeah, essentially, John. [00:21:55] Speaker D: John Newgrounds, better known as Johnny Utah. Yeah, yeah, Johnny Utah. He's still around. I'm not exactly sure what he's doing nowadays, but I just remember this series very vividly from years. [00:22:07] Speaker A: I know Johnny Utah. Okay. [00:22:08] Speaker D: Yeah. [00:22:09] Speaker A: Dude, that's cool. That's fucking cool. I didn't know that, man. [00:22:13] Speaker D: It's so stupid watching it back, but my God, this was. [00:22:17] Speaker E: Google says it's mostly known for its constant jokes. [00:22:20] Speaker A: That's awesome. [00:22:21] Speaker D: 100%, bro. Tons of them, bro. Yeah, watch. Watch the second episode and you'll know exactly what I mean. But I don't mean just one video in particular, just the entire series because honestly. Oh, a lot of laughs from this one. [00:22:35] Speaker A: Yeah, honestly. So for what it was. Because I'm pretty sure When. When was this release? Like, it says this one in particular was from 2009. [00:22:43] Speaker E: This looks like 2006 is whenever it was first came out. [00:22:46] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:22:46] Speaker A: The earliest episodes for 2006. Flash. This is Clean as shit. [00:22:52] Speaker C: This is. [00:22:52] Speaker E: Yeah, it does look really good. [00:22:54] Speaker A: Really is. It's. It's honestly kind of impressive to have that kind of quality and have it last the test of time in that way. So, like. [00:23:01] Speaker D: And fully voiced, dude. [00:23:02] Speaker A: Yeah, and fully voiced. [00:23:04] Speaker D: And like, I'm looking at the mouth movements and it's super believable. Just like, what the fuck is this? [00:23:09] Speaker B: Yeah, the guy, I mean, in the background has like some fog on him. Really clean, simple art. This thing kind of means a lot. [00:23:18] Speaker D: You know what I mean? [00:23:19] Speaker C: Just. [00:23:19] Speaker D: Yeah, so in the end, with the Titanic being mentioned, romantic hits, all of it. You know, you have the guy getting shot in the background by the sniper. There's some action slash drama. Then you have the comedy with, like, the discourse between, you know, the soldiers of warring factions. And it's like, it's kind of like a. An early beta test to like, Discord, if you think about it, like, because they're just bullshitting about nothing. No, just this, this video. Tankman. Oh, seriously, like all the conversations that the characters have between each other, it makes no fucking sense. But then it's super relatable because, yeah, you have conversations with your friends like this all the fucking time, whether it be in real life, whether it be in discord, brother. [00:24:00] Speaker A: You know what? The fact that you said that made me remember that, like, ventrilo was a thing back then and so were. So was like ventrilo trolling. Yeah. Oh, my God. [00:24:11] Speaker C: Ring in there last. [00:24:11] Speaker D: This is just an average. If you think about it, this is just an average teamspeak slash ventrilo conversation. [00:24:17] Speaker A: That's so true. [00:24:18] Speaker E: That's very true. [00:24:19] Speaker C: Ventrilo was better than teamspeak. Fight me. [00:24:21] Speaker D: Shout out. Shout out. Johnny. [00:24:23] Speaker A: I. I only use. [00:24:24] Speaker E: Yeah, it looks like Johnny Utah is still going on on Instagram making art and st. He just recently actually posted something he did, an art for severance. That's badass. [00:24:34] Speaker C: Severance is a really good show on him, dude. [00:24:36] Speaker A: It's a good gig. That is so cool. Yeah, I. Okay, so I'm going to be totally real. I happen to know him because I watched. I've watched this let's play, let's play channel called ONI plays and they're fucking hilarious. And he's been on a couple of episodes and I've heard his voice and he just sounds. He sounds a little bit ornery, but he's very funny too. And so like, the fact that I just found out who, like why he is who he is, it's kind of blowing my mind right now. So. What, what a great contribution to the branding of Newgrounds. And it's still like that. It's still. It still uses that take, so that's. That's crazy. [00:25:11] Speaker D: Stood the test. [00:25:13] Speaker A: Painter, you have a lot of. You have a lot of experience with Newgrounds, right? [00:25:18] Speaker C: Yes, yes. [00:25:18] Speaker B: In their audio community. Every time Newgrounds comes up, I, I gotta. I gotta mention it, I'm just so proud of myself. I am Newgrounds 2012 Musician of the Year musician. That was awarded to me and they front page my songs. Get. They gave me a bunch of Newground store credits. I got some. I got some Tankman stickers still on my, on my keyboard here. [00:25:42] Speaker A: What? Okay, so did you know about this prior today? [00:25:45] Speaker B: Yes, yes, I knew about Tankman and Johnny Utah and yeah, yeah, I was always on Newgrounds and for a long time it was essential to my musical development. I'd say there are a lot of like, a lot of reviews that were like, very constructively critical of my music. When I was posting it, I didn't know what I was doing. But these people were very, very helpful, sometimes harsh, which I think I needed. And it just, it was a great community. We all were like, helping each other, saying what we did and don't like about our songs. Just an event. And they would have this competition every two weeks. Create a song from scratch, and then we'll pit your song against someone else's. And then it was set up like a tournament, bracket style. I ended up winning and after I won, I was also granted Musician of the Year, which was like a separate award. And so that was. That was really good. Made me feel good and like made Newgrounds very special to me. Like, their audio community is great. [00:26:41] Speaker A: That is honestly pretty awesome. And I'm pretty sure it's still very, very active today. [00:26:46] Speaker B: I'm sure. [00:26:47] Speaker A: Like, if you're so, like. I know I talk to musicians all the time and a lot of them really want feedback from, you know, many different kinds of sources. If you're the type of person that would want to get that kind of like brutally honest feedback, post it on Newgrounds because it's. I would say it operates a little bit like SoundCloud, but you're just going to find so much. There's different iterations. I've put some stuff on there, like from way before. Like I ever really got good at like editing audio and all that stuff. But they do provide, like, it's a really good community is what I'm trying to say. [00:27:20] Speaker E: Could you tell me, like, what is Newgrounds? As someone who I'm not. I did not come from new grounds. I don't really know much about it, to be honest. [00:27:27] Speaker A: That's great. [00:27:28] Speaker E: So just like a social media or what? [00:27:30] Speaker A: So I'll let Painter explain it. I think you could explain it better. [00:27:33] Speaker B: Yeah, they have a. They have a forum that you can go on and chat with people and then they have reviews for songs and flash movies and art and anything you post on there you can get reviewed honestly. And I guess it is like a, like an older Internet social media experience, like forums and BBs. [00:27:56] Speaker E: Your own page and that kind of thing. [00:27:58] Speaker B: Yeah, you have your own page. [00:27:59] Speaker A: Completely community driven. [00:28:01] Speaker B: Yeah, it's the, the focus, like, isn't so strong on like your profile and your page. It's very like more focused on the conversations and the forums and in the art that people are making. So, yeah, very, very cool social media experience about the media. [00:28:19] Speaker E: I'm looking it up and I actually learning that the person like the video that I was going to bring up for. For mine, he actually came from Newgrounds also. That's kind of cool. [00:28:27] Speaker A: A lot of these creators from now. [00:28:29] Speaker E: That are big now, cartoony kind of. [00:28:31] Speaker D: Thing, tons of artists got their start. [00:28:33] Speaker B: Their big ones. [00:28:34] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:28:34] Speaker A: And like, I could. I could name like a thousand videos from Newgrounds that I've. That I love. Some that may have even been lost to time. But like. But yeah, I think if you're like an animator or if you. If you just want like, like good, real reviews from people that you don't know that aren't like on SoundCloud unless you have like a good community there. I've never had luck there. I would say Newgrounds is probably going to be the best place to go. Honestly, it's just. It's so raw, everything there. Harsh. [00:29:02] Speaker D: Raw. [00:29:03] Speaker C: It can be harsh. [00:29:03] Speaker B: Harsh reviews. [00:29:04] Speaker D: Yeah. Which is good to add to the harsh point. Like, if people don't like your shit, you're. There's a chance that your post could get blamed, which is basically deleted. Basically. [00:29:14] Speaker E: They call it blamed. That's awesome. [00:29:16] Speaker D: If they don't like it, they'll just take your shit off. Like. Yeah. Come back with something actually quality. You've seen it before. Panter. I'm pretty sure you have, man. [00:29:26] Speaker C: Yeah, I have. [00:29:26] Speaker B: But yeah, I've never been blammed. I think you really gotta stink. You gotta suck for it to get blamed. [00:29:33] Speaker D: But they even have. Do they still have the rating system too? Like, I know. [00:29:36] Speaker B: Not sure. [00:29:38] Speaker D: Because YouTube did away with that. Like, you can't see this. Like, to dislikes. [00:29:43] Speaker C: It's just a ratio. Yeah. [00:29:44] Speaker D: Like, before they. They would visibly. They would just show you straight up. Like, this many people like your shit as people. This many people don't like it. And Newgrounds fucking did that. And if you didn't meet the fucking criteria, then just say, well, sorry, get your shit off our platform. We don't want to be associated. [00:30:02] Speaker B: Yeah. I tell you, nothing. Nothing has like, opened my ears as much as someone telling me, like, your guitars sound like shit. It sounds like super tinny. And I listen back to my recording and I'm like, yeah, it's pretty bad. That hurts to listen to, but it opened my ears. I needed that. [00:30:19] Speaker E: Yeah, that's true. Because when you're making something you kind of like, you just so proud of yourself that you got to the finishing point, you're like, this is so good. [00:30:26] Speaker D: Yes. [00:30:27] Speaker E: And then. Yeah, when someone else can do it, they're not looking at it with those. Those eyes. [00:30:32] Speaker B: Exactly. [00:30:33] Speaker D: I'm kind of going on a tangent, but, like, I do. It kind of reminds me of, like, in college when, like, I would take a writing class and people would, like, they would basically would critique each other. And I never liked when people never had anything bad to say about my work because, like, it would kind of give you. It would make you a bit delusional. Just like, am I doing unhelpful? [00:30:54] Speaker A: Right. Right. [00:30:54] Speaker D: Tell me that there's something bad about my work, otherwise I'm not going to be able to work. [00:30:58] Speaker A: I almost don't, like, whenever it comes to, like, my friends and stuff, like, I don't even ask them for opinions anymore because it's like, they're always just going to be nice, like, whether they do like it or not. Like, and that's. That's not a bad thing. It's. It's great to have support. That's definitely not what I'm saying. Like, but when you're looking for real criticism, sometimes it. It helps to look outside. Yeah. Like, it's one thing if some guy just comes in and says, oh, this sucks. It's like, okay, dude, like, whatever. Yeah, but, like, it's like, but. But you know, you're straining your voice when you're. When you're hitting this part of the. Of the song. And, you know, if you just clean up the vocals, clean up the mix. Did this, did that. And it's like, this is the valuable type of information that you can kind of get, at least from my experience. Yeah. Because, like, I. I would rather. I would much rather, like, hear something like that than someone to just say, like, oh, this. This is. You know, the whole thing's done. Just. Just throw it away, dude. Because the only way that you're gonna get better is by reviewing something and then having someone else review it and then taking that feedback and considering it. You don't have to change every time someone says something shitty. Like, sometimes you can just have a good artistic vision for yourself. But, like, it's. What I'm saying is real feedback is valuable and it's also kind of rare, depending on, like, what you're putting on the spot when you do that. But if you put it on there. [00:32:16] Speaker E: Like a review site from Newgrounds. [00:32:18] Speaker A: Exactly. [00:32:19] Speaker C: So. [00:32:22] Speaker E: I'll have to look into Tankman more later. [00:32:27] Speaker D: Yeah, you're definitely gonna have to, because it's so dumb, but I loved it. [00:32:31] Speaker A: Cool. So we're gonna go on to the next one here. Cal, I believe you got something. [00:32:36] Speaker C: Yeah, so without sounding pretentious, I think like it's hard to just pick like one video because it's just like the jog. [00:32:45] Speaker D: There's so many out there. [00:32:47] Speaker C: Oh, there's. There's so many. And like, depending on like my mood or the day, like I could pick any video to really describe me in a word or, you know, in a video. Um, so I would have to like do like kind of a roundabout, all encompassing sort of answer and Pork and Beans by Weezer. It kind of, it's like a music video that brings in like all of like the like some really OG content creators like Gary Brosmo, the Numa Numa guy and Chris Crocker guy and just a bunch of different videos and like viral memes that like how started YouTube. And it just kind of puts them all in the video in different ways and have them like integrated into it. And at the end like they're all coming together in like one big room, which is like chaos, but it's also just like wonderful all at the same time. It's so much nostalgia and just kind of fully. I don't know, it captures that whole entire era. And I'm a very nostalgia driven person. Like, I love Disney, I love Pigar, I love like SR old school Runescape. Like I bought a PS3 and a PS4 just to buy remastered versions of games I loved. It's just. That's kind of all I'm about. So I think that video captures everything that I like about that era. [00:34:08] Speaker D: Yeah, it's a comment. It's like a nice little Internet smorgasbord. [00:34:12] Speaker A: Yeah, it's literally like looking at a time capsule. Like I'm watching it now and I'm like, holy shit, does that mean we all qualify? [00:34:18] Speaker E: There's a comment on the video that's like, boy, I sure love this year's YouTube Rewind. [00:34:23] Speaker A: The over 55. [00:34:25] Speaker D: That's like the YouTube Rewind before the YouTube Rewind. [00:34:29] Speaker A: Really? [00:34:29] Speaker C: Yeah, it was. That was kind of like the og like out of all those videos on there, I think like Numa Numa. Like I'd have to pick that specifically just because it's some dude enjoying his life. Just he heard a song he likes and he's just like, I'm going to turn the camera on and dance. I don't care what people are going to say about me. I don't care. It just. I just want to dance and enjoy myself. Kind of like you were saying, you go down the road and just blast that music and just like scream it Cynical. Just kind of like that. He's just being 100% him, no matter what anybody says he was to do it on the Internet like that. And it's just so cool. Love that. Honestly. [00:35:09] Speaker A: Authentic. Authentic as fuck. [00:35:12] Speaker C: Just, just the camera qualities back then. Just. It's like nowadays everybody has the same, like super high res, very polished, overly saturated, like, videos. And you could see like the ring in their eyes from their recording camera. And she's like, hey, guys, how you doing today? Come and smash that subscribe button. It's. It all feels kind of just like, buddy. Yeah. Like, like 30% of the script is the same for everybody. [00:35:39] Speaker D: And it's just that, like, button to pay my rent. [00:35:43] Speaker C: Yeah. A lot of these people that were. [00:35:45] Speaker E: Equipment then, like, you're too afraid to even try. You know what I mean? So it's like you have to have this money and equipment and shit to even start something like that these days. [00:35:54] Speaker A: I think, I think that's. I think that's still very much something. That's what was going to say. It's like everyone's looking for that authenticity and oftentimes actually I found it to be the opposite. Like if the more production that you have and the more that you're like on. I think, I think Instagram, I think there's like a, like a sect sort of thing where there's like two different areas for each of those things. I think Instagram is where you would want to post more like highly produced content rather than like TikTok, where, I mean, you do still see a lot of really good, like, highly produced content or high quality produced content. But I think most people go there for just the guy holding up his phone, ranting about fucking, you know, some, some dick that he saw at the grocery store who, who gave him an evil smirk and made fun of his shoes or, you know, like, followed him around the store where he was like, like trying to figure out his like, shirt size just to call him a fat ass or something. I don't know. But like just this is the pure unbridled authenticity of just being in front of a, like a, of a camera and just saying what the. Whatever the fuck is on your mind. So I still think that there's a huge thirst for like, authenticity. And that's why, that's kind of why, like we were talking about this in the first. [00:37:03] Speaker D: That's why we're. [00:37:04] Speaker A: We are here. [00:37:04] Speaker C: That's why we're here. [00:37:06] Speaker D: Yeah, I can love nostalgia. [00:37:09] Speaker A: We hope to be connected as a brand, like comment and subscribe by the. [00:37:13] Speaker C: Way, somebody sponsor us, please, so we can have it. [00:37:16] Speaker D: We're not. Please, trust me. Only. [00:37:18] Speaker A: Only authentic brands. Okay? [00:37:20] Speaker D: We want core social media brands to sponsor us right now, dude. [00:37:24] Speaker A: Exactly. I want. I want a free Facebook page. [00:37:27] Speaker D: I want a shout out Facebook page. Yeah, dude, it, bro. What's wrong with that? [00:37:32] Speaker A: Also, I just noticed something. I just looked at the song that I was talking about for like 30 minutes and I just realized it was posted in 2012. [00:37:41] Speaker E: Damn. You're not even in. You're out, bro. You're out. [00:37:44] Speaker D: I mean, it's still kind of there. We're kind of in. We were kind of in a transitional period in that era, you know, I. [00:37:53] Speaker A: Didn'T say there'd be 2010 mentions. I just. I just. I. I genuinely thought this was in the 2000s. [00:37:58] Speaker E: Get him out of here. Let's move on to someone else. That's truly from the 2000s. [00:38:02] Speaker B: It's got a 2000s. [00:38:03] Speaker A: Look, I'm a sham, okay, I'm sorry. [00:38:06] Speaker D: No, it's okay, dude. It's okay, because, like, it's still. It still encapsules that energy, that spirit. It's still there. [00:38:13] Speaker A: See, Bob, and this is why we're keeping it. Because you, You're. You're just stroking my ego here. [00:38:18] Speaker E: So supportive. [00:38:19] Speaker D: Not even. Bro, I'm just. I just see the point where you're going with. It's just like, bro, the. The core idea is still there. [00:38:27] Speaker C: The approach is sham. [00:38:28] Speaker D: Wow. [00:38:29] Speaker C: I started thinking. I started thinking of sham. Wow. And he said, stroking my ego, Vince. I was like, this is getting. Yeah, you're gonna love my nuts. [00:38:39] Speaker A: I was gonna say, then the Sham guy, wow, like, go to jail. [00:38:42] Speaker D: He was on some. [00:38:43] Speaker C: There is something about him and hookers, if I'm not mistaken. I think kind of badass. I thought he got in trouble for like beating someone like that. [00:38:54] Speaker E: Beating. [00:38:55] Speaker A: Oh, I swore he beat him. [00:38:57] Speaker E: Hold on, let me look this up. [00:38:59] Speaker A: That's not based. [00:39:00] Speaker C: I swore he did. He was arrested for getting in a bloody fight with a hooker. [00:39:04] Speaker D: There you go. Miami. [00:39:07] Speaker C: Shlomi. [00:39:08] Speaker D: Vince. Offer. [00:39:09] Speaker A: Yeah, but Offer slow me so like. God, is that his last name? Shlomi? [00:39:13] Speaker D: No, his. Yeah, his. His full name is Offer. Shlomi from Israel. Oh, dude, it's insane. [00:39:19] Speaker C: Damn. He did. They beat each other up pretty bad, Mike. I mean, she got the worst of it. My God. [00:39:25] Speaker A: Wow. [00:39:27] Speaker B: They're. [00:39:27] Speaker D: You saw images. [00:39:28] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:39:29] Speaker C: That's fucking brutal. My God. [00:39:32] Speaker A: So he deserved to go to jail. [00:39:33] Speaker E: That if you order now, I'll throw in a second beating. Absolutely Free. I love that comment. That's. [00:39:39] Speaker A: My God. [00:39:40] Speaker D: That's fucked. But holy shit, that's Vince maybe. [00:39:42] Speaker A: Here's the true crime podcast. [00:39:44] Speaker D: We seg. We went from nostalgia to crimes that your favorite influencers have gotten into. [00:39:50] Speaker C: My God. [00:39:51] Speaker D: But yeah, from Pork and Beans, we was on that. [00:39:56] Speaker C: I mean, that's all I had to say, really, man. I mean, that's. I'm a nostalgia guy. And that, that, that caught it perfectly. [00:40:03] Speaker A: So I also think that the song itself just. Just does a really good job of embodying that. The 2000s as well. I mean, there's going to be other great examples, but Pork and Beans, I mean, everyone talked about pork and beans, dog. [00:40:14] Speaker B: Really, really captures the ethos. [00:40:17] Speaker C: Shut up with the ethos, bro. This guy, everything is. Oh, yeah. Something about the ethos. Yeah, that's eat, though. That's right. Like a whole like two minute section where he said ethos probably like seven or nine, like seven or eight times. [00:40:30] Speaker D: You don't like ethos, bro? [00:40:32] Speaker A: I don't think. I don't think you're wrong. I think I. I think he's mad that you're right. That's okay, too. [00:40:39] Speaker C: You know what? You are really bothering my ethos right now. [00:40:42] Speaker D: Just put that ethos in my mouth, dude. [00:40:44] Speaker C: My ethos. [00:40:46] Speaker B: And that's one thing I don't want to do, is mess with anybody's ethos. [00:40:49] Speaker A: And how would you describe this for. For. For the uneducated? How would you describe an ethos? [00:40:55] Speaker B: An ethos, that would be the air, the quality of the air. If there's any air pollution, like, you don't want to. You won't want a bad ethos. You want a good. You want an ethos that fully encapsulates the. The atmosphere. [00:41:09] Speaker A: I feel like we're speaking in metaphors and I am so lost. [00:41:12] Speaker D: I'll just keep it simple for our viewers. The character, sentiment, or disposition of a community or people considered as a natural endowment, or the spirit which actuates manners and customs. Also the characteristic tone or genius of an institution or social organization. So basically, the vibe. [00:41:27] Speaker B: The vibe, yes, the air. [00:41:29] Speaker D: The ethos. [00:41:30] Speaker B: The air quality. [00:41:31] Speaker A: You could have just said vibe. It's 2025. Painter. [00:41:33] Speaker E: Yeah, we have newer. [00:41:34] Speaker A: Exactly. [00:41:35] Speaker B: And we need to move on from Vibe. We need ethos. [00:41:38] Speaker A: Holy. [00:41:38] Speaker C: You know, that was the most bomb answer I've ever heard because this guy literally was on a Minecraft server with us and he put the whole like, what was the definition of tuft on a sign? Because he literally googled what tuft Was this. That's just what he did. [00:41:53] Speaker D: Oh, yeah, that one block. [00:41:55] Speaker E: The tough museum bro. [00:41:59] Speaker C: Him Googling ethos like that made me had a flashback. [00:42:01] Speaker D: Like, you couldn't even do anything with that block. But like, brother, it was just there. I was like, you know what? [00:42:07] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:42:08] Speaker D: I might have been high that day, but it's okay. Whatever. It's an everyday. It's every day. [00:42:12] Speaker C: I was gonna say higher chance than not, I think with you. [00:42:15] Speaker A: 100. [00:42:16] Speaker D: Yeah. [00:42:16] Speaker E: With painters. With painters. [00:42:18] Speaker B: Ah, yes. Moving on to painter's video. Nothing about ethos in this video. This video is very, very simple. You know that it's that kid that he's trying to ask you a question. Have you ever had a dream that you could do anything that you wanted to? And it takes him a while to get there? He stumbles, he stutters. And someone had made a metal song and, and put it over it and synced it with the kids stuttering. And I thought that was so cool. [00:42:45] Speaker A: Drewseph, dude. [00:42:47] Speaker B: Oh, who's Joseph? [00:42:49] Speaker A: Joseph is like, he's a. He's, he's kind of big in the metal community. Drusev. I think I wanna. Okay, I wanna say it's Stalin. I think his name's. His last name. Stalin. Yeah. Drusef Stalin. Yeah. So he, he does a lot of really cool metal and he, he has some great music. He actually has some really good music. But he also does a lot of, like, metal comedy kind of stuff. So, like, the fact that this came from him like, that, I'm not surprised. But it's also that. Yeah, definitely, Definitely worth checking out as well. I could totally be wrong about his last name. [00:43:22] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:43:22] Speaker C: Wow. [00:43:23] Speaker B: This is really cool. [00:43:24] Speaker D: Unironically headbang to it. Just putting that out there. [00:43:27] Speaker B: Yeah, that's cool. He, like, found the rhythms. [00:43:29] Speaker D: Do we know what happened to him? [00:43:30] Speaker C: Like, there's a video of him saying, I'm the kid that did that on YouTube. It's pretty easy to find. [00:43:36] Speaker B: Cool. I accidentally became a meme that's. [00:43:39] Speaker D: Oh, there he is. Yeah, it was actually like one of the thumbnails in, like, the after screen. Like, have you ever had a dream kit? [00:43:47] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:43:47] Speaker D: Let me see this. [00:43:48] Speaker A: He wears a red shirt for the. Yeah, that's good. [00:43:53] Speaker C: I'm a snake guy has been doing that too. He's making a comeback too. [00:43:56] Speaker A: Really? [00:43:57] Speaker C: Yeah, I've been seeing him a lot on Facebook stuff. [00:44:00] Speaker A: Haven't seen that video in so long. I, I. It's referenced all the time. All the time still. How old is that video? [00:44:08] Speaker C: Oh, it's one of the originals, I. [00:44:10] Speaker E: Think it's actually not from. It's from like the 2000s, I think. [00:44:16] Speaker A: Well, yeah, I said we've been mentioning it. It's fine. It's fine. But yeah, that, that, that video. That one's. That one's really funny. Yeah. Drewsev is cool, though. There's a lot of, like. There's a lot more metal comedy kind of channels on YouTube than you would think. It's. It's kind of. It's kind of crazy. I wouldn't. I wouldn't think that there's such a niche out there for. For things like that. [00:44:38] Speaker C: Us metalheads are very funny people. We don't sacrifice goats and stuff. We're actually like, very nice and we like to laugh and make people laugh. To my surprise, when we're not sacrificing. [00:44:49] Speaker A: Goats, that is, to my absolute surprise. [00:44:51] Speaker D: Could you stay away from my goat, please? [00:44:53] Speaker B: Where is your goat? [00:44:54] Speaker D: In the backyard. [00:44:55] Speaker B: I'm going to get your goat. [00:44:56] Speaker C: Well, yeah, you do have a goat. [00:44:57] Speaker A: Literally. [00:44:57] Speaker C: He does. [00:44:58] Speaker A: What's his name or their name? [00:45:00] Speaker D: Her name is Greta. She's two and she's. [00:45:06] Speaker A: We need a photo of Greta the goat. [00:45:11] Speaker C: You know that guy that drums over that made me think of. There's. There's a little skit I saw someone was drumming over what Boomhauer says. And I get hard to understand Boomhauer half the time. But when they drummed over it, I understood every word perfectly. Like the snare drum, like enunciating with it. I was just like, oh my God. Wow, that's. Boomhauer is like, like understandable now. It's crazy. [00:45:35] Speaker A: Articulate, very well spoken enunciation. I'm doing a goddamn thing like, oh. [00:45:45] Speaker D: Man, they don't give my freak on, man. [00:45:48] Speaker C: Everybody. I let it understand what I'm saying. [00:45:50] Speaker E: Wasn't that boy who like was messing up his words, wasn't he originally trying to quote something from Hercules? Like that's what he was. [00:45:57] Speaker D: Yeah, he said in the video. [00:45:59] Speaker A: Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. I think he mentioned that in the follow up video. [00:46:03] Speaker E: Why would they keep it in. That's. That's up. They just kept it in the documentary anyway. [00:46:09] Speaker A: I mean, it's. It's definite charming. Yeah. [00:46:15] Speaker B: Yeah. Well, that's all I had on. On the video for me, I guess I relate to both the. The editing of content that exists with polyrhythms and just viral videos in general and stuttering and not having an actual point or anything. [00:46:31] Speaker D: That's so real of you, dude. [00:46:33] Speaker A: Yeah, I'm I'm developing a stutter now. I can't believe I stuttered when I said that. [00:46:39] Speaker E: You did. I'm. [00:46:40] Speaker A: I'm. [00:46:40] Speaker E: I'm developing a stutter now. [00:46:44] Speaker C: You. [00:46:45] Speaker A: You bet you. [00:46:46] Speaker C: You better stop my stapler. [00:46:48] Speaker D: Imagine they learned how to program stutters in AI. I would lose it. [00:46:53] Speaker B: Honestly, I can't wait to make AI nervous. [00:46:56] Speaker A: There was one video that I watched recently that was made by AI and it was. Okay. [00:47:00] Speaker C: It's. [00:47:01] Speaker A: It's one of these videos that. And I try not to support AI in too many avenues. I use ChatGPT for some, but, like, I try not to support, like, videos on TikTok, but this one got me. It's basically, they took a version of, like, Taylor Swift, one of Taylor Swift's songs, and they'll just explain, like, in pot. Like, they'll basically explain, like, how a. Like a. Like a street roller, like, those things that flatten the road works, and they go into extreme detail to the tune of, like, a Taylor Swift song. And it's. It's so funny. I can't remember, like, who makes it. I don't even have my phone on me. But that's. That's kind of like what that would remind me of. [00:47:40] Speaker E: See that someone is still being creative when they're doing that, though, you know? [00:47:44] Speaker A: Yeah. I mean, like, there's actually an idea behind that. [00:47:47] Speaker E: Sounds like Taylor Swift. Unless you get Taylor Swift to sing. [00:47:49] Speaker D: There's a wrong and a right way to use AI, basically. [00:47:52] Speaker C: I mean, to be fair, all of her music's probably. It's just the same cadence and very similar lyrics, and she has very psychotic. [00:48:00] Speaker D: Fans on the Internet. [00:48:02] Speaker E: I wouldn't be surprised if, like, pop stars and stuff started to use AI to, like, help them make their songs. You know, just. [00:48:08] Speaker D: I think Freddie Gibbs Jr. Called that out. Like, he said, like, rappers nowadays do that too much. [00:48:14] Speaker A: There's a. There's a couple of. I think. Who is it? Who's the guy that produced. Why am I thinking of Nelly Furtado? [00:48:23] Speaker D: I mean, there was. There are some pictures of her being thick lately. [00:48:26] Speaker E: So that's not even, like, from A.I. [00:48:29] Speaker D: Oh, no. Just, like, legit pictures of her in concert. [00:48:33] Speaker A: Who produced Promiscuous Girl by Nelly Furtado? Yeah. Who was the guy? Because he's in the song, too. Anyways, he's a producer and he's, like, kind of a big name. Timbaland. Yes. Timbaland was like. He's been getting some backlash because he wants to use. He basically just wants to make AI music, which is really ironic coming from someone who had to like claw his way into the industry and like gain all this respect just to turn around to like, basically he wants to make a record company for AI artists and basically like have like 30 different brands of music out there that he didn't really make himself. He's just making like AI music and like, people are really pushing back against him. [00:49:14] Speaker C: What a strange hill to die on that is. [00:49:17] Speaker A: Really? Yeah, because like, I know that a lot of companies are like trying to use AI in every single way possible to infiltrate every single redundancy quote unquote that they feel that they have. But like, I don't know, I just feel like we, we've entered this stage where we are actually, we're. We're okay. There was a video that I saw earlier that, where I actually couldn't tell that it was fake until I took like 8 looks at. I had to watch the video like 8 times to see the defining moment where I could. That I figured out. I was like, oh, this is AI and so it's getting smarter. And it's actually kind of weird because, like, I don't want to watch, I don't want to pay money for like an AI movie that someone shit out in five minutes. You know what I'm saying? Like, I don't, I don't see the. [00:50:05] Speaker C: That's like what Moist Critical once said. I mean, I'm sure a lot of people have said something similar, made a video about AI and he basically said AI is the worst it's ever gonna be. Right now. Yeah, it just, it's just every second it's getting better. So. [00:50:23] Speaker B: Yeah, that's a weird, A weird phenomenon about Timberland and AI that's, that's happening locally. Here in my town. There is a really renowned musician who has, like, he's older too. [00:50:34] Speaker D: He's. [00:50:35] Speaker B: He knows music in and out. He does improv songs. Well respected and liked. And he was going to host an AI music night to create and discuss music at a local venue. It of course got a lot of pushback and he's just gotten a lot of hot water locally. But I don't know. He's a very successful, well established musician and he's like all about AI music. I don't know what the deal is. It's not really interested me, but yeah. [00:51:04] Speaker A: I'll bleep it out. Is it brat crowd? [00:51:06] Speaker B: No, but very, very well respected musician. And I've heard Shout out to Brett. Yeah, shout out to Brett Crow. What a, What a great guy. [00:51:15] Speaker A: What a Fucking badass cool guy over there. [00:51:19] Speaker B: Yeah, he. I play. I play with Brett Crow pretty often too. [00:51:23] Speaker C: He's great. [00:51:23] Speaker B: I also got to play with Paul Slavins in the same band, actually. And he did. He got out this melodica and did one of the most gripping emotional melodica solos on his turn to solo. And it was. It was heart wrenching. Made my jaw drop as I'm playing. And like, I don't know. I don't know what it is with AI music, I can tell you. [00:51:44] Speaker A: I think it's just. It's just, you know, it's cheaper. It's cheaper in time, it's cheaper in resources, it's cheaper in creativity, obviously, you know, it's probably one of the drawbacks. But like, it's. I don't know, I'm. I'm really. I mean, we'll. We'll talk about this for the rest of our fucking lives, I think. But like, I'm just really sick about. I'm sick of corporations just taking the easy way out of everything and ruining everyone's lives over it. But we're going to go back to our main topic. [00:52:13] Speaker C: I just wanted to say really quick. I'm a voice actor on this side and I fucking hate AI for that reason. That's all. [00:52:18] Speaker A: Yeah, dude, quit taking our fucking jobs. Let us make the art. [00:52:23] Speaker E: Yeah, I want to work. [00:52:24] Speaker B: And now they have voice actors selling models of their voice as their gig. [00:52:29] Speaker A: What the actual fuck? [00:52:31] Speaker B: Like for the finals, the announcers. [00:52:33] Speaker E: What? [00:52:34] Speaker B: Yeah, the announcers are like full AI in the finals and they're. They're voice actors that have sold models of their voice for the finals to use. [00:52:40] Speaker A: I didn't know that. [00:52:41] Speaker E: Yeah, that's pretty messed up. [00:52:43] Speaker A: I mean. Okay. Okay, here's the thing, though. Those people sold their. Their voices. Yeah. So that's within their right. I'm not gonna dock them for that because I think. But the fair use of it, that. Yeah, I think that is like a, like an agreeable. Like if that's what you want to do with that, if you just want to throw that away, I guess, then like, fine. But like, for the rest of the people that want to make, you know, analog media, that's not analog. You know what I'm saying? Like, without AI and we still want to be able to create things and we don't want to have to rely on AI to get us there or to have it in such a fast fashion. Because here's what I think is going to happen. I think that with AI media is going to spike and we're going to see a huge rise in every single kind of media that we can ever imagine. You know, video, music, all that stuff. And it's going to become so indistinguishable. And the rate of that generation is really what's going to fuck everyone over. Because soon I'm pretty sure that it'll be hard to tell, like, who's real and who's not. Without some sort of, like, legislation in place to properly. To properly do that. [00:53:50] Speaker E: We'll have to do an episode just on AI honestly. [00:53:54] Speaker A: Yeah, yeah, yeah. We'll save that for a later episode then. So, like, getting. Getting back to the topic here. We did have a couple of other videos that we wanted to talk about. Some. Some memorable videos, some good mentions. Have you guys seen Tourette's guy? [00:54:07] Speaker B: Yes. [00:54:08] Speaker A: Yes, absolutely. Bob's second. Yeah, don't talk about Total. He's like. He, like, hauls the. The Colgate Company. He's like, hey, is this Colgate? He's like. He's like, I bought your toothpaste. You know, tartar control. The one with tartar control. And it makes me feel like a piece of. [00:54:30] Speaker D: So passionate about it, too. [00:54:31] Speaker A: Just like. [00:54:32] Speaker C: Sure. [00:54:32] Speaker D: I hate how it made me feel. [00:54:34] Speaker A: All right, Pee. Because I know he's gone now, but. God damn it. [00:54:38] Speaker C: Yeah, I love humor like that. [00:54:42] Speaker D: There was, like, a lot of rumors surrounding him. Like, I didn't know he actually died. Like, I don't know. I don't know what the happened. [00:54:47] Speaker A: Yeah. Okay. So I. I couldn't tell you whether or not he actually had Tourette's, but I would be surprised if he. Because, I mean, it's very. It's. It's very much acted. There's like. There's. What is it? Like, an hour and 20 minutes of episodes that I was able to link. And, yeah, all of them are fucking gold. I think my favorite moment in, like, all the Tourette's guy videos is when I think he's, like, stuck under a fridge for some reason, and he was, like, trying to fix something under the fridge and thinking he just gets stuck. And the phone rings, and he's like. He's like, fashion Bug. Fashion Bug. Every time the phone rings, he says, fashion bug. So the phone keeps ringing. He's like, fashion Bug. [00:55:27] Speaker D: Fuck Fashion Bug. Fucking damn it. [00:55:31] Speaker A: Fashion Bug. And Tourette's is no joke, by the way. Like, I'm not. I don't want to make light of it, but you have to admit, for the time, you know, it was like, the pinnacle of comedy. Just Someone that, you know, saw an opportunity and it just made the most of it. There's another one where like, there is a bird in the house. I think Bird in the House is one of my, my favorites. I don't know what it looks like. Maybe on a string, this bird. I don't, I don't know if it's a real bird, but it's just one of those things of like, older videos. You can't really tell because of the video quality, like, if something's real or not, which I think adds to it much to Collection's point earlier. And the. There's this part where the bird just like lands on like a lamp and he's swinging around this broom, trying to hit it, and he just with full force smashes the shit. Okay. And by the way, as he's about to like, smash the, the, the lamp, the bird's already flown away. The bird's flown away for like three whole seconds and like, he still just with all of his might just smashes the bottom of the lamp and sends it flying. And he's just. I don't know. It's just one of those things. It was one of my first examples of just someone just being completely, truly unhinged. [00:56:46] Speaker E: Yeah, I was just looking it up. He definitely had. Was diagnosed with Tourette's at one point in his life, but his family is saying, like, it was acted out, you know, for the videos. [00:56:54] Speaker A: Yeah, yeah, I'm sure it was hands up a little bit, but it was still that. That's actually cool to know because, I mean, representation, but it's, it's really often misrepresented and I don't, I mean, I mean, to, to that point, it may, may or may not be a positive representation of that, but it was still very entertaining. And I don't think anyone thinks less of anyone with, with Tourette's or anything like that. At least I don't. It can be. It can be pretty. I mean, I've seen some really bad, like, examples and I've also seen some, you know, more people who have a little bit more control over it. I think it really just has to do with people's focus. I'm not a doctor though, so I'm not gonna speak too much to that. [00:57:37] Speaker C: But I just can't stand the people that fake it on Tick tock for views and stuff like that. That pisses me off. Yeah, like, but like, him, like, I mean, he genuinely had it and even, like he, even if he didn't have it, it was obviously not like real. Like he didn't try to profit off of having it like a lot of people do nowadays. It was just a funny skit. But I mean, he actually had it. But regardless. But what you were saying with him smacking. So I remember that broom when that's the one I was actually thinking of. He just like swipes so hard and then like breaks like the chandelier lamp or whatever. He's like, oh, Bob. Just like he like throws. He's like holding his head and like screaming that. Slaps that. I love slapstick like that. I love it when people just like get themselves into stupid situations or other people. And it just. I love that type of humor. And I think. But I think about that a lot. [00:58:30] Speaker A: Yeah, I think my favorite part about that clip is just that the bird had been flown. Had flown away like for three seconds before he just decided to swipe it and. Yeah, all right. Pizza Red sky. You fucking. You did a number on my childhood. And we also have the Caramela Girls. What is this? [00:58:48] Speaker D: The caramel dancing. You never seen that growing up, dude. Like everyone is doing crossovers and that would be infecting every like anime fandom. And like they would be making caramel dance videos of that shit. [00:59:04] Speaker C: Honestly, when I go to Ascent every year, which is like an anime convention, seeing some big burly dude with a beard, that. That song, like someone walk by, had like a little like little boombox going with it. And like a guy will hear it, turn around, just start doing the dance. Just seeing like a 200 pound dude doing that out of nowhere, it makes. It brightens my ear every time. [00:59:24] Speaker E: Yeah, I love that it still holds up. Like you hear and you just know immediately, you know what to do. [00:59:29] Speaker A: This is mesmerizing. [00:59:31] Speaker D: Yeah, that group, isn't it that man. I don't know what they're doing now, but they had to have made a killing. [00:59:37] Speaker A: They're probably still doing this. [00:59:39] Speaker D: Probably. I wouldn't be surprised, just standing in. [00:59:42] Speaker A: Place and shaking side to side. [00:59:43] Speaker C: I was. I have two boys. I put that video on. I started doing the dance in front of them. The older one was in stitches about it. He thought I was so stupid, but he thought it was very funny. [00:59:54] Speaker D: That's. That's positive imprinting right there. He's gonna hear that song. Oh, my God. [00:59:58] Speaker E: But another good song that. That is imprinted in my mind is the Peanut Butter Jelly Time one. [01:00:04] Speaker A: Oh, Peanut Butter Jelly Time. That's such a classic. I remember the first time I listened to that song. I was like an obsessive like kind of. [01:00:10] Speaker E: Larry. [01:00:10] Speaker A: Yeah, like seven year old. And I would. I would listen to that song over and over again. That's what I did. That's how I, like, listen to music. I wouldn't, I couldn't just like, like a song. I had to listen to it over and over again. I wonder what that speaks to, bro. [01:00:22] Speaker C: That's how I still am. [01:00:24] Speaker A: No, but, but, like, but like, I. Okay, there was a time where I started getting into like, Marilyn Manson. And I remember I listened to the Beautiful People and I was like, oh, this is so fucking cool. And then like, I remember. I remember blasting the song for like eight hours. Like after I got home in my room, just like hanging out, just listening to the song by myself. I'm just like, literally sitting there vibing. I was like, I. I look back now, I'm just like, what the. [01:00:53] Speaker E: We won't unpack that. Marilyn Manson. [01:00:57] Speaker A: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Because my, my. I think my friends were into. They had like a hoodie and, and so they were trying to show me it and I was like, hell yeah. [01:01:05] Speaker E: We won't unpack that one. [01:01:06] Speaker A: Also into corn. I love corn, though. I don't listen to Marilyn Manson anymore, but I still listen. I still with corn, but. So you talk about authenticity. Try doing that nowadays and getting away with it. [01:01:21] Speaker E: That was a good one. Good job. [01:01:23] Speaker D: I was a little too good. [01:01:24] Speaker A: I had so much fun watching that video. Let's see. [01:01:29] Speaker E: I need to mention my very memorable thousands videos that, like, stuck with me until now. And that is Salad Fingers. I don't know. I don't know what caught me. I just. I love the psychological weirdness. I'm a. I'm a horror fan. And that just stuck with me for the rest of my life. And I just. I would just sit there at the computer and just watch the salad finger videos, like, so intently. I was a fucking strange. [01:01:55] Speaker D: I wouldn't be surprised if, like, serial killers in certain psychological horror movies were just, like, inspired by salad fingers. I want to hear that in like, an interview for like a horror movie behind the scenes. [01:02:06] Speaker A: So where were you? [01:02:07] Speaker C: Was that not from Newgrounds? [01:02:09] Speaker D: Yeah, it was. [01:02:12] Speaker C: Yeah. Panda. That was from New Grounds. [01:02:14] Speaker E: Yeah, I know. That's what I was saying when we were talking about Newgrounds, that the, the videos that I was going to mention started in Newgrounds. I didn't even know that. [01:02:21] Speaker A: Yeah. David Firth is a. Is a fucking legend. He has, he has a lot of stuff. Yeah, he's still going. He's still making stuff. Yeah. Anyone that, like, he He's a very cynical mind. And I love. I love the. The. The direction that he takes all of his work because some of it is, like super, super creepy and just super unsettling. And then some of it is very satirical. Like, I love all of his work on the pharmaceutical industry. [01:02:49] Speaker E: Yeah, I watched those too. Yeah. [01:02:51] Speaker A: He's like, why, Payne? Why'd you choose me? It's like, payne didn't choose you. Some like that. I forget what he says are great. [01:03:00] Speaker E: No, that is what he said. [01:03:02] Speaker A: Yeah, got it. And he's like. He's like, thank you, Pain. It's always like, you should be thankful for Payne. He's like, thank you, Pain. Dude, I love David Firth, man. He's. He's another one that I was gonna mention, which is like a series called off the Air. I don't know if it qualifies as 2000s necessarily, but I know it would at least qualify for 2010. And that is just like a amalgamation of videos that Adult Swim does. Very rare occasions do they, like, actually play it. And even rare, when they would. They would release something, but they have different themes for each, like 15 minute segment. And it's just a fucking nice ride of just like multimedia, just like different creators. And David Firth is usually often included in them. Totally. Check it out. But, yeah, love David Firth. He's. He's a. He's a classic dude. He's a legend. [01:03:53] Speaker E: He's bad. [01:03:54] Speaker D: Shout out, Davey. [01:03:54] Speaker C: Fuck. [01:03:55] Speaker D: Do you ever hear us? [01:03:56] Speaker E: Sponsor us, David. [01:03:57] Speaker D: Give us a shout out. [01:04:00] Speaker A: Give us. Give us the shout out, David. [01:04:03] Speaker D: We shouted you out. Now you do us a favor. [01:04:05] Speaker A: Yeah, everyone that we shouted out, if we don't get a response within 24 hours, there's gonna be a problem. Find you for one grillion dollars. [01:04:12] Speaker D: I'm gonna cancel you on Twitter. That's what I'm gonna do. [01:04:15] Speaker A: Yeah, I'm gonna block you all on Twitter, bro. [01:04:17] Speaker C: Not the grillion again. [01:04:18] Speaker E: He's on Smiling Block and report. Oh, yeah, dude, he is still up to. He's up to a lot. Holy. [01:04:24] Speaker A: Actually, that's a very timely kind of thing to bring up too, because Zach Hadel, who is Psychic Pebbles on Newgrounds also, you know, came from there, and then he also worked with Oni. Oni came from Newgrounds and then Michael Cusack. I don't know if Michael Cusack came from Newgrounds. I am just not. I'm not sure. But he kind of did have a lot of the same kind of style. But yeah, there's so many people. So many people that like, came from Newgrounds that just, like, went on to get great success. Like, we were like those of us in, like, the YouTube community that, like, watch these animators. We were all rooting for Fudgeing Zach to get the deal with Adult Swim. And we're all, like, so happy for him. And Michael Cusack is fucking amazing and talented and he has some really good shows, too, that I would recommend checking out. But I'm not going to lie. Like, my. My bias would probably be more towards Zach Hadel and his type of humor, but Smiling Fringe is a brilliant show. I love it. Definitely. Definitely. I would say that encapsulates more of the 2010s kind of media than a lot of other things even. [01:05:26] Speaker E: I think what I'm learning today is that the 2000s was fucking new grounds. Like, I didn't even realize it's a first half. [01:05:35] Speaker A: Yeah. [01:05:35] Speaker D: Late 90s, early 2000s, it was definitely new ground. [01:05:38] Speaker E: Then YouTube came out because even, you know, the Fire Nation attacks ASDF videos or ASDF movies. You. Do you guys remember those? [01:05:46] Speaker A: Yeah, yeah, yeah. [01:05:47] Speaker E: He is from Newgrounds. I didn't know that either. And I used to watch those constantly, too. [01:05:51] Speaker D: Everyone got their start. Man, all roads lead to Rome. In this. In this case, it's new grounds. Rome is new grounds. Shout out Tom Fulp again. [01:06:00] Speaker A: Hell yeah. Shout out. Shout us out. Mention it as much as you can. And I see we have one more awesome video from Mischief. [01:06:12] Speaker E: Could I just mention his video? Because it is actually a really good one that I also thought was hilarious. [01:06:16] Speaker D: Yeah, go for it. [01:06:17] Speaker E: Constantly is Hot Kool Aid by Julian Smith. If y' all have never seen, we. [01:06:23] Speaker C: Made this for you. [01:06:25] Speaker E: Yeah, it's just random. Just random content that he created. [01:06:29] Speaker A: Made a pot of Kool Aid. [01:06:31] Speaker E: It just worked. It didn't make any sense, but it was just funny for some reason. [01:06:35] Speaker C: I think my favorite from Julian Smith, because I watched him quite a bit too. The one where he's like, I need a glass of milk malk. Yeah, give the man some milk. And they're just, like, all pronouncing milk differently. And at the end they're like, screaming at each other and they're like, I'm gonna kill you if you kill yourself. [01:06:53] Speaker A: What do you mean you're gonna show me? [01:06:55] Speaker C: Start screaming at each other and they. [01:06:57] Speaker D: Start pointing the guns at themselves. [01:06:59] Speaker C: Yeah, it's just like. I feel like that was one, like, earlier references. I can't think of it. There's probably one where they said, I'll kill you if you Kill yourself or something. It's like, where. It's like, if you die, I'm going to kill you. I feel like that's, like, the oldest time I've heard that. There's probably, like, an older movie that references that sort of comedy, but I always go back to that whenever I think of that sort of line. [01:07:24] Speaker A: Oh, that makes me think of a Team America where the. The love interests and the main protagonist, like, start to confess their feelings for each other. He's just like, I. He's like, I can't. I can't be with another member of this team because, like, they. They always die. He's like, but, you know, if you could promise me right now that you wouldn't die, I'd sleep with you right now. And he's just like, I will never die. [01:07:51] Speaker D: That's infallible logic. I'm not gonna lie, dude. I respect. [01:07:54] Speaker E: And then they proceed to do it, and it's. I can't believe it. [01:07:57] Speaker A: That's. That. I always skip that part. [01:08:00] Speaker D: Anime. That. The whole thing. [01:08:03] Speaker A: I know why they did it, and I respect them for it. I always skip it, though. I'm just kidding. I'm not gonna lie. [01:08:08] Speaker D: We didn't have to see all that. But they thought so. [01:08:11] Speaker A: I don't know what they expect the audience to think. [01:08:15] Speaker D: Pretty sure they were just going for the shock value with it. There's no. [01:08:18] Speaker A: You know what's funny? Those scenes are more elaborate than the actual fight scenes. [01:08:24] Speaker D: Like, what the. Dude. [01:08:26] Speaker A: Speaking of cortisol raises, one of my favorite trends of, like, the 2000s and the 2010s was this phenomenon where you had Dragon Ball Z fans, and they were extremely passionate fans, and they all had wild imaginations, and there were just some of them out there that would try to become Super Saiyan. [01:08:46] Speaker D: Oh, yeah. [01:08:47] Speaker A: This, to me, is one of the pinnacles of our existence. Watching. Watching someone try to turn into a Super Saiyan. As a kid, as a grown man, you know, it was one of those things that you just united all of us together. I. There. There's a video from, like, when I was in sixth grade somewhere out there with, okay, we skipped school, and I was wearing a burning backpack. It's a long story, but basically, there's. There's a video of me with a burning backpack trying to shout as loud as I can, trying to turn Super Zane and using the smoke as, like, my aura. [01:09:22] Speaker E: You're saying burning backpack. You mean literally, the backpack is on fire? [01:09:26] Speaker A: I was wearing a literal burning backpack in the video. Smoking. Smoking a cigar. Okay. Like, I'm not. So this is kind of. This is in sixth grade. Whatever you're. Whatever you are in sixth grade. Don't do drugs. [01:09:38] Speaker C: And like, 12. [01:09:41] Speaker A: Yeah, I started smoking cigarettes when I was 12. Don't do drugs, guys. [01:09:45] Speaker C: That's wild. [01:09:45] Speaker B: Bad. [01:09:46] Speaker A: Yeah, I stopped though 2. One year ago. [01:09:49] Speaker C: It got better. [01:09:50] Speaker A: Yeah, I was able to kick it. I had to get wellbe trained to do it. But anyways. But yeah, there's a video of me out there. [01:09:57] Speaker E: Sponsor us WellBetrin. [01:09:59] Speaker A: Sponsored by WellBe Trend. And I just. I love. I used to watch these on, like, in a playlist. Like, I would just watch different people trying to turn Super Saiyan over and over again. And I really think that. What was the example that we had here? It was Jalen. [01:10:16] Speaker C: Jalen, dude, he's the one I always think of. I'm Jalen, and I'm a Super Saiyan. [01:10:23] Speaker A: And. Yeah, because I think you were the one that. But you brought up Jalen. I just brought up the Super Saiyan thing. There's a he. It wasn't this video. It was another one. But where is it? Well, this isn't even really him. This is like a different channel. Okay, but he. He did one where he was, like, screaming. And I think for like, five minutes of the video, he's, like, explaining how he's gonna do it. And then the. The, like the rest of the three minutes is just him just, like, going from. Just like. Just like starting, like, from as low as he possibly charging up. Yeah, just like from nothing. From zero. You meant. You knew he meant business. Whenever they would start from just to this. This full guttural screaming, just like the most passionate screaming that I've ever heard in a person. And you're always going to find them in these Super Saiyan videos. And I honestly want. I honest, I kind of want to make another one. I'm not going to lie. [01:11:14] Speaker E: Should we all make our Super Saiyan videos? [01:11:17] Speaker D: Yes. [01:11:18] Speaker A: Comment down below if we should make a Super Saiyan video. [01:11:20] Speaker E: I have to be honest. I've never gone Super Saiyan. I. I don't know. It sounds like you guys have experience. [01:11:25] Speaker C: Well, the only time I have, like, besides being a kid, the only time I try to do it as an adult is sometimes I sit down to. I just think I'm going Super Saiyan 3 every time. [01:11:34] Speaker A: Hello. [01:11:38] Speaker C: I'm dead serious. I will sit down. And if I'm. If I'm struggling, literally will. I literally will think of going Super Saiyan. That is what comes to my mind. While I'm. [01:11:46] Speaker A: I'm dead. Dead ass. I just imagine all this hair just like all over the ground as you're trying to take extreme. [01:11:55] Speaker E: I didn't know this. We live together and I didn't know this, so that's crazy. [01:11:58] Speaker C: It's deep shower thoughts, but toilet thoughts. I guess it's. If you ever see blonde hair on the toilet, you know I did it. [01:12:07] Speaker D: Seen it. A crime, huh? [01:12:08] Speaker A: That just goes to show that there's a Super Saiyan inside all of us. Hell yeah, Bro. [01:12:13] Speaker E: I'm not a. I'm not a Super Saiyan knower. Can I be a Super Saiyan? Or is this a bro thing nowadays? [01:12:19] Speaker C: Yes. [01:12:19] Speaker A: Before. No. Yeah. Before. Yeah. Is there a female Super Saiyan in that. In that universe? [01:12:26] Speaker B: In Super Beginning. [01:12:27] Speaker D: No. [01:12:28] Speaker A: Like Z. No. [01:12:29] Speaker C: It didn't happen till Super. [01:12:31] Speaker D: Oh, okay. [01:12:32] Speaker A: That's badass. [01:12:33] Speaker D: Yeah. [01:12:33] Speaker B: And they are in a parallel universe. [01:12:36] Speaker A: I want a female version of Broly. [01:12:38] Speaker C: Yeah, there. [01:12:38] Speaker D: I mean, there's someone in the art community that'll probably do that. [01:12:41] Speaker E: Actually, Google it. I'm sure there is. [01:12:43] Speaker C: Well, that's literally the big thing with super. Is that the legendary Super Saiyan is a girl. [01:12:49] Speaker B: Yeah. So you do have that available to you? [01:12:51] Speaker A: Badass. She hot. [01:12:53] Speaker E: What are you gonna use that for? I'm just curious. [01:12:55] Speaker A: What am I gonna use that for? [01:12:59] Speaker B: You know, I mean, you said your. [01:13:01] Speaker C: Favorite number was 34, right? [01:13:02] Speaker A: I'm not answering this question. I don't know what you're talking about. Right. [01:13:06] Speaker C: Shop. [01:13:06] Speaker D: You do. Don't fall for it. [01:13:07] Speaker A: I'm not. Okay. I get it. Yeah, Bro. [01:13:11] Speaker C: My goodness. [01:13:13] Speaker A: I'm slow. [01:13:14] Speaker E: We're talking about the 2000 that also came from 2000. [01:13:16] Speaker D: That's right. [01:13:17] Speaker E: 2003. Hell yeah. [01:13:19] Speaker A: Yes. The classic rule 34. If. If it exists, it's born of it. There you go. Thank you. [01:13:25] Speaker B: Rule 35. [01:13:27] Speaker E: No exceptions. [01:13:28] Speaker B: If it doesn't. [01:13:28] Speaker D: We didn't even. We didn't even go over rules one through 33. Like, why would we move on to 35? [01:13:33] Speaker B: 35 was the. Isn't 35 the rule where if there is not porn of it, then an artist will draw some? [01:13:39] Speaker D: I don't know. [01:13:39] Speaker A: Eventually. [01:13:41] Speaker B: I know the rules. [01:13:41] Speaker E: I didn't know that there was an actualist rule, so I just took it. Rule 34 as face value. I didn't look into it. I don't know the rest of the rules. [01:13:49] Speaker D: I mean, man. Rule 34 and Rule 42 go hand in hand, unfortunately. Oh, it's Rule 42, being nothing is sacred. [01:13:59] Speaker A: Rule 63 for every fictional character. There exists a gender swapped counterpart of that character. Rule 34, if it exists, there is porn of it. No exceptions. [01:14:07] Speaker D: I'm sorry, dude, this is how it works. [01:14:09] Speaker A: I'm actually not seeing. [01:14:11] Speaker B: Oh, yeah. [01:14:11] Speaker A: Rule 35. If there's no point of it, porn will be made of it. Did you just make this post? I mean, he just went in there. [01:14:18] Speaker D: Yeah, for sure he did, yeah. [01:14:20] Speaker B: It's everywhere on the Internet. [01:14:21] Speaker A: But there's 77 rules. [01:14:24] Speaker D: So does that mean like, Internet artists are like entitled or like they have the right to say, like, hey, man, I don't make the rules, I just play by them, bro? Yeah, we. [01:14:33] Speaker B: We are bound to this rule list. [01:14:35] Speaker D: I can't do anything about it, bro. They said the rules, not me. [01:14:38] Speaker E: Them's the rules. [01:14:39] Speaker A: Rule 12, anything you say can and will be used against you. [01:14:43] Speaker B: That's a Miranda, right? [01:14:44] Speaker D: Is rule 12. [01:14:47] Speaker C: Okay? [01:14:48] Speaker A: Oh, rule 13, anything you say can and will be turned into something else. [01:14:53] Speaker D: Brother. [01:14:53] Speaker A: That's awesome. Oh, man, I've never seen the official list. [01:14:58] Speaker E: 2000S Internet where nobody. [01:15:00] Speaker C: Yeah, I didn't know. I thought, I thought 30. Now I think, how do they ever get 34? I mean, it makes sense. There would have be a whole list. [01:15:06] Speaker A: Rule five, we do not forgive. We do not forget. [01:15:09] Speaker E: So I'm not the only one who didn't know that this like, came from a list of rules. Just like Rule 34. [01:15:14] Speaker D: We would have came up with this fucking 4chan. Like I wasn't even that deep. Like, man. [01:15:19] Speaker A: Rule 31, tits or get the fuck out. Oh my God, that's so old. [01:15:23] Speaker D: Wow. I remember that. Yeah, dude. [01:15:26] Speaker A: Oh my God. Could you imagine that? [01:15:29] Speaker D: Now you get slapped and canceled on Twitter. You were never seeking employment again. [01:15:35] Speaker E: But things were different back then, back in the good. [01:15:38] Speaker D: It was the wild west, bro. [01:15:39] Speaker E: Good old days. [01:15:40] Speaker D: It's like, I get it, I get it. It comes from a good place. But now it's kind of whack. It's just like, oh man, we can't say or like, have fun anymore. [01:15:46] Speaker E: That's true. [01:15:47] Speaker D: That's just me though. That just me. [01:15:49] Speaker A: Some other honorable mentions. We've got Rick rolling. We've got Chocolate Rain. We've got Charlie the Unicorn. Llamas with Hats. Crazy frog ASDF movies. [01:16:03] Speaker C: Fucking. [01:16:04] Speaker A: Oh, and leave Britney alone. That was a huge one. [01:16:07] Speaker E: Leave Brittany alone. [01:16:09] Speaker A: I remember that. I remember. I remember that more than what actually was going on with Britney. [01:16:13] Speaker D: She shaved her goddamn head of we cannot leave her alone. What do you mean? [01:16:17] Speaker A: And yeah, no, I mean, I hope she's. I Hope she's well out there. [01:16:21] Speaker D: She's made a good joke. She's made a grillion dollars. [01:16:24] Speaker A: She's made three grillion dollars. [01:16:27] Speaker E: Social media posts, these. [01:16:29] Speaker D: No, I can't say how he's on something, man, when you have a grillion dollars to your name. [01:16:35] Speaker A: Dude, if I had a grillion dollars, I would. [01:16:37] Speaker B: I would be on everything. [01:16:39] Speaker A: Yeah, I would leave. No, you're mad unturned. [01:16:43] Speaker D: Are you mad because I have a grillion in my pocket right now? I could buy your life, you peasant. Anyway, all right. [01:16:52] Speaker A: Okay, so then I think while we're wrapping things up here, I want to leave with a question, and this is for the audience. What is it about these old videos and memes that we have been remembering that made him stick to our brains so hard? And can we still get the kind of joy and nostalgia from today's content, or are we just getting old? Like, is this just something that we're not capable? Or is getting old just like, hating the new generation no matter what? You know, to be. To be fucking fair, I love the memes of this generation so fucking much. They are all, like, so good. The kids are all right. Yeah, you guys are pretty fucking funny. Honestly. I say based ironically, but I've been saying it a little bit too much lately. If I'm fucking real. What? [01:17:40] Speaker C: There's. [01:17:40] Speaker A: There's so much, like brain. I love brain rot. Brain rot is what I think, like, Tim and Eric was supposed to be for us, like, back then, but just on a new. On a whole new media level, just like that. It can be based off of anything. [01:17:53] Speaker D: You can make adult Screen was basically beta testing. Brain rot, if you think about it. [01:17:57] Speaker A: You know what? Okay, like, how would you. I know we all watched this recently. Aqua Teen Hunger Force. [01:18:03] Speaker D: Yes. [01:18:03] Speaker A: Yes. [01:18:04] Speaker D: That was fucking brain rot. You can't. You can't tell me otherwise. Make no fucking sense. [01:18:10] Speaker A: There is no plot. It's just. [01:18:12] Speaker D: It's just kind of like food items, fast food items. Just, like, living their life in New Jersey and a whole bunch of stupid shit happens around them. [01:18:20] Speaker A: If you haven't seen Aqua Teen Hunger Forest for some reason, I am going to beg you right now to watch it. You can find it on Adult Swim. I'm pretty sure that there's. [01:18:30] Speaker D: There's a YouTube, there's a YouTube member, there's a YouTube marathon right now. Yeah, but it's only four episodes. That's the only thing. [01:18:38] Speaker A: Yeah, I think they're still releasing some new episodes every once in a while. I know they did, like, a Couple of years ago. But this show has been long running for, like, I think before 99. Right. [01:18:50] Speaker D: But it was, I think it was 99. [01:18:52] Speaker A: But it basically, it just, it just follows, like, Master Shake, Frylock, and Meatwad, and they're just, they're so great. They have a movie. The movie was great. But it's. If just like what Seinfeld used to say about, like, his show literally being about nothing, I would say Aqua Teen Hunger Force takes that and cranks it up exponentially. Like it's really a show. Just about nothing. Like, at least, at least in Seinfeld, some of those conversations that they have end up making sense to a certain degree and are relatable. Aqua Teen Hunger Force kind of takes that, and it's just like, it doesn't have to be relatable. It's just funny and it's nothing. It's gonna. [01:19:31] Speaker C: I disagree. [01:19:32] Speaker D: Space guitars. [01:19:33] Speaker A: That was, that was. [01:19:34] Speaker C: Dude, there was a lot to that. [01:19:36] Speaker D: You had to. I missed that segment. [01:19:38] Speaker C: You have to have a high IQ to understand space. [01:19:40] Speaker A: You know what? You're so right. What were you saying, Peter? [01:19:43] Speaker B: Yeah, it's, it's kind of got a format of like a vintage cartoon. Kind of like a C Lab. [01:19:48] Speaker A: My God. C Lab. Yeah. [01:19:50] Speaker B: Remember C Lab? [01:19:51] Speaker D: Yeah, that theme was a banger, too. [01:19:53] Speaker A: Yeah. [01:19:56] Speaker B: It was a, it was a parody of C Lab. But Aqua Teen is, is kind of framing itself like that. Like, it, like it's a parody of an old vintage cartoon that existed, that has never existed with this, like, Shake and Fries and Meat Meatball. Like they're superheroes or something. [01:20:12] Speaker C: I, I, I thought you were gonna say, you know, the ethos of that. [01:20:15] Speaker D: Show I was getting, therefore share that ethos. Anyway, so it's. [01:20:22] Speaker B: Yes, I love to hear it. [01:20:24] Speaker A: What I really think about the ethos of Aqua Teen Hunger Force. [01:20:28] Speaker C: I, I'm gonna go to the bottom of the sea at the end of this fucking podcast. [01:20:32] Speaker A: Oh, God. Anyways, Honorable mention Xavier Xavier Renegade Angel. Okay. Short, short segment. Short segment 1. Panda Girl Hates the show. [01:20:42] Speaker E: Yeah. I'm just unfortunate for this. [01:20:45] Speaker A: I love this. Me and Banner. [01:20:48] Speaker B: Beautiful. It holds up. It's great. [01:20:51] Speaker A: It's poetic. That is. That is the purest form of brain rod that I've ever seen in my life. Except it's like, still you. I hate to sound like this, but you do kind of have to get it in a way to, to really understand what's carefully crafted. [01:21:07] Speaker E: You're an intellectual. Right? Right. [01:21:08] Speaker D: When I get it at the bottom of a pill bottle. Or would I Get it? Like pill bottle. [01:21:13] Speaker E: How much do I have to smoke before watching this show to get to be sober? [01:21:16] Speaker A: I would say Xavier Renegade angel is the pill bottle. And you're. [01:21:20] Speaker D: That. I could. I could see that. [01:21:23] Speaker A: So, like, it's. It's a guy with like backward or like, what is a hind legs, Digital grade legs. [01:21:29] Speaker B: He's got some sneakers on. He's got a snake arm. [01:21:33] Speaker A: One snake arm. He's got a beak nose, long blonde hair. And everything's kind of animated. Like old school, like GTA where they would. They had like the. The. The motion capture and shit, but they didn't have like every single detail lined up. And it was all like 3D. It was like one of the first, like 3D shows that I think they made on. On Adult Swim. And who is the guy's name? Who is that guy's name? [01:21:56] Speaker B: Oh, Vernon Chapman, I think. Yeah, that's it. Vernon Chapman. [01:22:01] Speaker A: Vernon Chapman. Actual fucking genius. Yeah, actual fucking genius, this guy. [01:22:05] Speaker B: He is like an actual poet. And he has another show called Shivering Isles. [01:22:12] Speaker A: It's very. Oh, my. [01:22:13] Speaker B: No, sorry. The Shivering Truth. [01:22:15] Speaker A: The Shivering Truth, yes. Wow. [01:22:16] Speaker B: He did some wonder shows in too. [01:22:18] Speaker A: That makes sense. [01:22:18] Speaker D: Wonder shows. And that's a name I haven't heard in a minute. [01:22:21] Speaker B: Yeah, the. [01:22:23] Speaker A: The shivering. What would you say the Shivering Truth is about, Vayner? [01:22:26] Speaker B: It's also very, very poetic and very, like, thematic. [01:22:31] Speaker D: I can't trust when you say it. Very poetic. There's. [01:22:34] Speaker B: Trust me, it's very poetry coded when you watch it. It's. It's so poetry coded. I don't know how else to describe it. [01:22:40] Speaker A: Yeah, I'll take your word for it for now. Yeah. It's almost like ironically poetic, but it also is like cohesive in the theme that he's trying to explain to you for that episode. It's like, to me, it's like a weird kind of. What is it fucking called? Oh, my God, why am I forgetting it right now? The show where they do like different sci fi situations. Not Black Mirror, but the old one, the Twilight Zone. It's like. It's like the Twilight Zone written by a fucking maniac. [01:23:14] Speaker B: Like, there's. There's one scene where there is a large group of prisoners, but there's not enough. There's only like one set of prison bars. So all of these prisoners are just sat out in this field next to their beds in an open field, and they have these two guards that have to like. They all have to share this, like one set of prison bars. [01:23:33] Speaker D: So they. [01:23:33] Speaker B: The two guards Will like periodically move this set of prisoners. Prison bars to the next prisoner. And then the prisoner will grab the prison bars and let me out, let. [01:23:41] Speaker A: Me out, let me out. [01:23:43] Speaker B: And then they go to the next set of prisoners with the set of bars and it's complete bizarre mode. [01:23:51] Speaker E: He's fucking losing his shit. Just. [01:23:53] Speaker B: Yeah, yeah, it's. [01:23:55] Speaker D: It's exciting. [01:23:56] Speaker A: Stupid. [01:23:57] Speaker C: Sounds like some Three Stooges shit. It's like, I can't get out. Okay, you try to get out. Just like, give him the bar. It's like, okay, I can't get out either. Okay, give him the bar. It just like sounds like that type of dog humor. [01:24:07] Speaker B: Yeah. [01:24:11] Speaker E: We'Re not watching this. No. [01:24:14] Speaker A: I'll say, I'll say. The Shivering Truth is way more palatable than Xavier Renegade Angel. Yes, it's way more palatable, but I found that episode. You'll probably still be disgusted by it. I'm not gonna lie. [01:24:26] Speaker B: It gets really gross too. [01:24:27] Speaker A: I think it's. It's stop motion animation too. It's really good looking too. It's in general, but awesome. Well, thank you so much for joining us today at Critical Debuff.
