That's why I just like Heath Ledger as the Joker's. Probably like, number one movie character of all time and i watched a mojo uh mojo video about it what as mojo watch mojo watch mojo video about it and i honestly like i agree with everything it said like you can't deny that heath ledger as the joker i haven't seen it so you haven't seen heath ledger as the joker no he gave his life for that performance oh i've i've seen the i've seen joker the joker

that's Joaquin Phoenix he played brother bear he played the brother that became the brother bear Wait is it a guy is that is it a guy that turns into a bear? Yeah it's a guy whose brother gets killed by a bear and then out of revenge he ends up killing a bear but upon killing the bear as revenge for his brother he he becomes a bear it's like jack frost but with bears bears yeah exactly but yeah no I haven't seen the Heath Ledger Joker movie have you seen Joker too I have not. The musical. Odds are you have to watch that by the end of the week

and give me a review and proof that you watch it. It's a busy week, man. You know. You make time for friends. 20. I'd like to thank. 20. 3, 1, 14.

Ooh, thank God, dude. You know, 614 is my birthday. And 6 plus 14. And Donald Trump's birthday, too. Donald Trump actually loves the movie Brother Bear. Do you know that? imagine he's just tweeting like AI memes of him like in the movie because like I wish I could be in brother bear that's my best Trump he thinks it's a real story he thinks

it actually happened he's he's terrified of uh of ever killing a bear to be honest I don't think he I think given on you know that it's a a Native American story I don't I think he'd just be disinterested from the get-go that's true that's true so what is this DEI dude now It's like, no, but they got Walking Phoenix. They were voiced by white people, some of them. Okay, I'll give it another shot. Dude, now imagine Native American Joker. Let's just get started.

Let's just go to the intro. You're not lying to me. Right now, we're having a different. discussion of we have a computer in the middle of us for the video watchers and you know for the audio listeners just for context and and i was making sure that usually we have the super mega logo spinning on that computer it looks very beautiful i'd go and give us a view if uh maybe even a like if you're just uh listen to the audio and go check it out for yourself go oh my gosh i thought you were lying about that computer with the spinning super mega logo and you're going to show up and you're

going to look like a daft fool when you realize we do have um a little computer-like display with the super mega logo rotating. That's right. I crafted this with my own two hands. And your feet. You used your feet, too. And I think give yourself credit for that. You were watching some tutorials on, you were just going,

I remember you were telling me it's like it's such wasted potential that like we only use them for walking. It is. It is. Because like when you look at monkeys, you know, they use their feet for everything. Their feet are just different than ours. They actually have like opposable. Why did we lose that, dude?

It's bullshit because it's so useful. Literally, why did we lose that? Because it made us better at being nomads because we... That's dumb. We loved walking around so much that we stopped climbing on trees and hanging from branches. Yeah, but I feel like even if we... God, I love to walk. Like, just, even if we're walking more, I feel like that shouldn't change the usefulness of the structure of our feet.

Like, monkeys can walk fine. I think the usefulness of us going on nice summer or beach walks, you know, started to outweigh in evolutionary terms for some reason within the DNA. It started to take precedent. That's bogus. It's BS. Because imagine how fucking cool it would be. If I, you know, if I popped these sneakers off and I peeled my socks off and I had just fucking gorgeous, like, just like basically hands.

Yeah. And we get back problems because we're not perfect beings like a monkey. A monkey can, they're default like this. If we start doing this too much, we'll get back problems. It hurts. Both you and I struggle, struggle with back problems every now and then. On our recent streams we've been doing, like the lottery scratchers and the drawing with crowns one. But the setup for the shark video, how we recorded Sharks and Minnows, which was a let's play we put on the channel recently, I think that's the way to kind of even do streams now.

Yeah, it's pretty awesome. but those streams where we've been like having to like kind of lean forward at the end of those my back is just my lower back feels like it's about to explode it uh it's it's it's insane how uh starting it like it's started like 24 for me like my back starting to to really be more sensitive like a little bitch and then now now it almost 30 it's it's painful like just the i noticed like if i'm uh If I'm lifting something and I bend forward, I'm like, ooh, ah, that's how I threw my back out for the first time ever. And I was, I was holding a very large box and I was on an incline. How big is this box we're talking? This box is like... Like the size of an elephant big? No, dude.

I'm trying to put it in perspective. Why would... Some people don't have decent imaginations or they have overactive imaginations and they're struggling to put a size to this story of yours. How big is this box, Matt? People want to know. It was like, uh... Answer the question. It was like...

You're stalling. What is this? It's like this big. I don't know sign language. Two and a half, or three feet by two feet maybe? Maybe. You sound unsure. I don't know the exact dimensions.

So you can change your story later when it doesn't add up. We ask the real questions here. We? You ask the... McGee News and entertainment. McGee? It's like the, you know, E. Entertainment. with the exclamation mark.

McGee. Yeah. No, but I was on an incline and I was putting this box in my car and I leaned forward. How steep was it? I'm sorry. It was about a three degree grade. And I just leaned forward a little bit

and then, dude, it was holy fuck. And I kept lifting boxes after that because I was like, I was like, I'm a young boy. I'm strapping to some degree, I'm sure, you know? Well, I never thrown my back out and it hurt really bad, but I was like, okay, but it's probably just gonna hurt

for a second. And then if I just keep kind of moving around, it'll go away. It did not. And then all of a sudden I realized like, oh, shit, this hurts. Oh, my God, this hurts. It hurts really bad. And I couldn't even get in my car. The lesson is when your body's trying to tell you, like, pain, pain, pain.

You should listen to it. Because I did the same thing. I ignore it. Like, I remember I was going on, like, car rides during the, like, I was driving a lot during, like, training and stuff. and I could feel as I was driving like my bottom back just kind of like being compressed and getting a certain way

now I would always start to just kind of like do this in the scene and that would be curling and making it worse but it would feel like relief but it's actually making it worse that's wait when my lower back is hurting like if I'm sitting I push my hips forward because it feels like relief

am I not supposed to do that? Still this is bad this is bad for like really you want to be sitting straight up with lumbar support and typically like legitimately we just have to gain some sort of abdominal strength just a little bit that's where it all look when I sit up straight I have to readjust the camera

if I sit up straight because you're so gosh too you're like seven feet tall in Hollywood height yeah what is this I it's cutting the top of my head off so I have to I have to slouch well we do we do set it up I remember you do have me slouch when we're when we're focusing the camera cameras because the wide's already focused, but typically when we shut the cameras off in between podcast recording episodes, both of our cameras will go out of focus. Luke, show an example of what out of focus looks like. Isn't that insane? That's pretty cool. That's actually awesome. Like what you can do with modern technology. Okay, you can turn it off, Luke. Turn it off. But yeah. So we have to we have to readjust. Why too, Luke? Turn it off. off the wide too please thank you we have to readjust them for our personal cameras every

time every single episode unless we just leave them on for days which is which tucker said is good for the cameras he's he said if we wanted to stay focused that's how it should that's how it would be done he said it's it's good for the cameras and better for our electricity bill he was eating a handful of chips while giving us like all the info about the room we had to actually get a vacuum in here to clean up. And he got, he was saying, like,

chook it out, when you focus and he got fucking Doritos shit all over the lens, because he was touching the lens. And I would think that someone of Tucker's caliber when it comes to like filming, you know, cameras,

all that stuff would know better than to touch the lens, like, directly. So we had to do a lot of cleaning up after Tucker, unfortunately. You're getting, you see, now you're,

now people have to, now you're making their eyes do a lot of work. When it goes from me to you, look at that. Their eyes do after shift. Their eyes have to, shift and now like uh you know lazy people well sometimes when i'm editing a video not all the time but when a camera transitions and it feels too jolting i'll put my thumb on the focal point and just

move the next shot's focal point to where my thumb is oh i never like like an ape i do that sometimes where i'll like i'll put my finger on the screen yeah and then i'll all i'll you know if i need to find the exact center of something i'll like uh i'll go into photoshop i will make a tiny circle i will center in Photoshop and then I'll put it into Premiere. There's probably a much easier way to do it. Yeah. I wish Premiere had better like centering tools and shit. They have perfect centering tool.

They have a perfect centering tool for text and shit. But like I wish they had it for objects. Like they have that same method of centering for, yeah, objects, anything. Like anything like video or like if I, if I throw a graphic in, I should be able to align it or center it. You rotoscope something and it's a separate layer now, you know. Hopefully, you know, maybe by like 20, 36, we can get, Adobe will add that feature in. Hey, I will say Adobe has been stepping it up

lately. They have been doing a better job. The new and improved updates they've been adding to Premiere and Photoshop, I will say, especially Photoshop. I like them. I love them. It's making me happy. And it's, it's the first time in my life. I'm not, uh, I'm not furious at Adobe. I'm like, okay. Well, except when you're looking for like a picture of a shark and they throw you stuff like this. Yeah. Well, Adobe stock. Luke, I'll send you the pictures. You sent me those. Yeah, the ones on a... When you were making the thumbnail for the Sharks and Minow's video. And I was looking up, I was on Adobe stock. They're so bad, dude. Dude, they, like, they shouldn't let people upload. Did someone do that for like money? I guess. Or was it like, we need an example of

stuff. No, I mean, like, to throw in the shark section. Basically, I was looking for a picture of a great white shark facing the camera and this is one of the ones that came up,

both of these. And I was like, what is this shit? But luckily you can turn off generative AI. That wasn't AI. Oh, that was just someone someone made that

and then was like, yeah, I'm going to put this on the stock website. So, because you know, someone's definitely gonna need there's a shit ton of AI too on the... Yeah, it's really...

But you said you can choose an option. You could turn it off on Adobe stock, but it always turns of self back on. Really? Every time I revisit, so I have to manually turn it off. This is always bad, too.

Dude, honestly, like... Like, it doesn't look quite good enough. Like, I am... Google Images pisses me off so much that they don't have an option to turn off, like, AI. There's plenty of pictures of normal things that I'm looking up on Google. Think of gorilla, crocodile, where if I look up monkey, I don't need in the third row to see an AI picture of a monkey, you know?

I think we have enough pictures of monkeys where we don't have to devolve into using AI images to try to depict what a monkey looks like. How would people know unless we had AI? And I'm always scared of like when I go on Google Images or something for a thumbnail to grab like pictures, I'm scared of accidentally using an AI image without realizing it and then getting canceled. I'm going to go a bit off topic, but it's kind of like within the same realm. It's about depictions like how AI.

We're so far in the future that AI is like, using kind of the knowledge to, like, depict its own version of, not its own, but like an amalgamation of a monkey using other sources. But it's using AI at this point. Yeah. But like I liked that moment in history where we didn't have cameras. So like when people went out and discovered new species or animals, they would just have to draw it or describe it themselves.

So like early descriptions of like giraffes or just whatever, like it always looked slightly off or like just different than than what they actually look like. Especially like an elusive creature. Because like you know if you see a if you're like an explorer

way back in the day. With the hat. Yes, you have the mustache. Yep. Okay. And you see a like a jaguar. You know, it's like voo. Nope, not the car. Oh, oh. The beast, the creature. Yes. You know, you're not going to sit around and like draw it, right? Because that's a

dangerous creature. You're going to be like, and also you're only going to see it for a second. You're going to try to remember it as hard as you can. You're going to try to burn it into your fucking brain. Because when you go back to camp, you're going to have to scribble that out onto some paper. So, like, no one's sitting down and being like, oh, there's a deadly creature. Let me sit down and then draw it.

It's not going to stay still. You're going to be scared. So you do have to take a mental snapshot and then go back to camp and try to draw it. And if you're not artistically inclined, you know, then it's like, I have to report back to the king. with with this information of this new animal and then like i mean people were like kind of commissioned to go explore like generally just go explore and see if there's any useful stuff that we can go take and pillage yeah essentially is the body you know is the underline well i guess isn't really

at that time wasn't like in minimal font that was just like everyone knew that was the purpose i love anything useful that we can steal and take and rip out from the hearts of these indigenous people is there gold oh yeah But we'll teach him French. That's a fair trade. But I, dude, I just, that's a great sketch idea. Like a guy who returns to the king and he has to like show his drawings of like all the new creatures that he's seen. But like he really can't draw at all.

Like let me see if I can like, like, uh, like when you look at stuff like this, like when people only had art to try to depict stuff. Luke, show this. I'll send pictures. Show some pictures. It's like, but what is that? Top right animal. What the fuck is it? Wait, what is that supposed to be?

An elephant? I have no clue. I think it's supposed to be an elephant because it has a trunk, but it looks like a dog. Early European images. This was a buffalo. That has to be shown.

Holy shit. Dude, the buffaloes are the craziest one. I'll send you all of these, Luke. Holy shit. The buffaloes need to be shown 100%. Those are terrifying. They're not like horribly inaccurate. No, no.

But, but I do like that to picture where it's like slightly like there is a, like there is a design, like a, like an artistic design to it. Because it's not like they're, they're getting a one to one. Right. You know, there is, there is an artistic interpretation or that person's kind of general feeling of that animal or mood or, I don't know. Dude, interesting. Look at the one of a sloth Are you like old year? Yeah, yeah

Why did they give them like human faces, dude? Look at this one Is that a bear or something? No, it's a sloth. Okay, let's save all those pictures I saved some on mine And I'm saving these These have to be shown up

Dude, are there any good ones of monkeys, I wonder? Well, they already draw everything looking so human I guess a monkey would be fine Honestly, like the giraffe The giraffe will explain pretty realistic.

Pretty on point. I mean, it's it's close. Just imagine if they had to hire someone like me. Like my job was to go out. Like you bullshit your way into this position. Without realizing you have to like

present it to the king afterwards. You're like, wait, the king's gonna see this? New discovery. Fuck. The elephant. It's just like, picture one of my drawing. Here, I'll do a drawing of an elephant. From memory?

Should I do like my best? drawing of like an elephant i can muster honestly like with pencil on paper yeah you should and because they are so animals are really hard to draw you the hardest one to draw is a horse i cannot draw a horse worth shit and and i'll do i'll do one too that's why you commission people to draw them for you right why why would i can i don't commission anyone to draw horses for me but here's one that i drew from memory and here's ryan's animal. Elephant.

It's an elephant. Obviously, it's an elephant. So this is, if we were back in the day, this is, this is what the king would have gotten. And Luke, just cut that whole thing about commissioning horses out because I don't, that's not, it doesn't make sense that it's not funny.

Now streaming on Hulu on Disney Plus. Why don't you snap into a slim gym? I ran out of slim gyms. I'm all out. Really? Yeah. Do you like slim gyms?

I love slim jims. Well, you know, I don't go crazy for them. But when a slim gym's about, you know, I can't help myself. Yeah. One may never know when the slim gym is about. That's it. I'm quoting an old video from the 50s. A slim gym?

Not about slim gym. it's about homosexuals, and it goes, one may never know when the homosexual is about. Like it's a scary monster. I mean, I mean, at that time, you know, they're probably, this was at a time where, like, propaganda was not too far off

from, like, being, like, a decade away, if that, of, uh, depicting, like, Jewish people as literal, like, insidious book story monsters with wings and fangs. and stuff. I've seen it the first Harry Potter. So, so like it's,

uh, it's no surprise, I guess. I've been, uh, something I've been really into the last like, couple weeks is, uh,

I've been, you know it. Did I, did I get that wrong? I thought I could read you like a book. I could have sworn, you had that, you had that,

YuGio glowing you. Blue eyes red, white dragon. The white, the white, uh, But I've, uh, I've been working on my VHS tape collection because I got, I got a little, I got a tiny little CRT TV that's like the best little CRT I've ever had and it's on my desk at home. And I have a VCR, uh, slash DVD player that I love that has, uh, an, uh, an HDMI output. So I can run it into my computer and I can like capture and archive, um, VHS tapes. So I've been building my VHS tape collection. Um, do you want stupid stuff with Ryan and silly stuff with Ryan and Connor the move? movie? Do you have it in California? I think yeah, it's at my place. Do you want me to rip it for you?

I would love that. Because basically, there's a couple ways to rip it, but I have the highest quality way to do it. I would, I could bring it over to your place this weekend. Dude, if you want to, dude, I will 100% rip it. Because I haven't watched that since maybe like two decades ago. I will totally digitize it. It's super easy. And I don't have to pay CVS or whatever, one of those. no dude i got some tapes digitized before i knew how to do it and uh it took like i had to go drop them off in burbank it took weeks like give them on CDs or do they do they do they gave they gave it to me on a flash drive okay okay okay um and it took weeks and it was expensive my aunt like went to go get some

stuff digitized uh not too like two years ago and like handed me one of the discs and or just handed me and it was just on discs and i'm like i don't have anything to play this on but like i was Of course, like, dude, I didn't say that. I was like, oh, thank you so much. But it's like, these, like, nothing play, like, laptops don't have. Nothing has a disk drive anymore. It's almost like just making, taking it from, like, one inconvenient media source to another. I have to rip it from this to then put it on, like, a flash drive.

Exactly. But I've been growing my VHS collection. And I've been trying to get, like, really weird, obscure tapes off of eBay. And I have a bunch of one that arrived yesterday is a Christian. like show for teens and specifically it's an episode about a homosexuality and I watched it and it's uh I think you and I need to need to watch this for uh for uncle sleepover or something it's 30 minutes and it's it's awesome it's really awesome and then we can watch who be Halloween I mean Halloween's over at this point but yeah but you know um it's still you know that

it's November still has that as spooky vibe because everything's because the leaves are like are like orange like pumpkins it's like an autumn vibe but that's not spooky you like all the grass is dead and the trees are losing their leaves and like it's it's it still has that spooky vibe post spooky vibe i just don't it's like maybe i don't really i'll be on maybe it's even more scary because you know i was just saying maybe it maybe it could be if you can look at it from this perspective it's even more scary because right it's unexpected so like someone could You know, of course someone, if we were to do stuff, something scary or maliciously scary, but, you know, it would be in the month of October because it's Halloween or whatever.

But then it's even more scary when it's not when you expect that malicious bad thing to happen. And maybe November could work as like a scary season as well. Well, this is the first podcast episode of November 2025. But I got to be honest, dude, after Halloween, everyone is kind of dumb with the scary stuff. They're ready to move into the holiday season. Because November is a time about giving thanks, not a time about being scared. The pilgrims are scary. Their outfits, imagine, imagine like it's a foggy night and you, like, look out your door.

If I saw the silhouette of that, yeah, that'd be scared. Honestly, dude, a horror movie about the first supper or whatever it was called, were they, the first Thanksgiving? Like a Thanksgiving horror movie. Like what they did with the Grinch? What did they do with the Grinch? They had the big feast at the end. with the who hash and the roast beast

A pilgrims are scary So are Quakers Hoos are pretty scary too When I was a kid I was like why do they have snouts Why do they look like this? Snoots Well Cindy Lou Who didn't have a snoot Yes she did

I thought she was the only one without one She may The child actress? Yeah the child actress Did she not? I haven't seen the Grinch in a while I don't think she had a snoot. She's a musical artist now.

Was she in Spy Kids? Maybe. Didn't she play like a love interest for Junie? In the third one? Was that her? Second one and third one. I don't remember. I got to rewatch Spy Kids, man.

No, no, no. That's Emily Osmond's sister. Yeah, Emily Osmond from Hannah Montana. Dude, I thought it was so sick the way she could, like, fly with her ponytails. Yeah, I was jealous. I was super jealous. I wrote a letter to her. I hope that it never made its way because it was very scathing.

And I think I included a few threats. But I was very jealous of the spinning flying ponytail stuff. I, uh, did you ever write letters to, uh, to celebrities as a kid? No, only to Santa. Well, that's a celebrity. Yeah, Santa was my, because I think I always just had that feeling of they're never going to read it. like they're way too famous yeah i thought that if i sent a letter to a famous person it just nothing would happen did you ever send a letter something to a famous person though

besides santa claus well i got responses from santa every year did you no well he uh presents i mean it was like that was his response when i would mail that was his mic drop moment you thought i wasn't paying attention to you ryan Boom. Presence. Not just at one house, but both? Rub it in again. You know, I'm not as lucky because my parents got divorced after I became an adult and moved out to California.

So I never got two Christmases. It's selfish of them. I know. They made it so you had the worst childhood ever by not having two Christmases like I. Honestly, I wish my parents had gotten divorced when I was a kid because two Christmases would have ruled. It would have been freaking awesome. And they would have been competing for each other's like, yeah, for your love. And so it's like you just get really banging presents.

every year. Instead, when I guess they were in love with each other, there was no urgency to like win my affection. Let's be real. In lust. In lost. But I would write letters to Santa and I would get responses, but they would be like pre-typed. They would send, they would at the post office, when they get the letters addressed to the North Pole, do they just like have to set those aside and be like no but because I got a response that means that they had to keep some kind of like maybe some kind soul did it you know

someone who works there went out of their way where they have like a method of like okay part of our job is answering all of Santa's mail yeah there's probably someone where it's like they look at all the return addresses and they just send it out but I have my name and everything typed up too okay so there might have been from Santa or was it from one of the elves Santa okay it was from Santa hey Matthew And I thought it was fucking awesome.

I thought it was real. I mean, it was real. But I never wrote a letter to a celebrity. The closest was I was really excited for Sly Cooper 3 before it came out. And I wrote a letter to who? I'm trying to. What's the studio that made Sly Cooper? Dude, it's pretty cool.

They made Ghost of Yote. And they made infamous, infamous two, infamous second. on Ghost of Sushima. No, no, no, uh, sucker punch. Yeah, I wrote sucker punch a letter, uh, asking if they had, because this is like before I could go on the internet and like see if there was any news about a game. I relied solely on like game magazines and stuff and I wrote them a letter if there was

any like news about the new Sly Cooper game. They responded and they sent me a demo disc. That's actually cool. For PlayStation 2. I would have lost my shit if I did if I responded to a fucking or if I sent something to a game company and they sent me like the demo of the new one. Dude, and it had it had like multiple like game modes in it showing off like new areas and like there was like a multiplayer thing. Oh, that's cool. It was so cool.

Like it wasn't just like a tiny little thing. It had a lot on it. I got bad news too. There was a recent question that was asked to the like one of the heads at sucker punch is like is there any excitement. You know, could we expect? another entry in the Sly Cooper series, you know, after you've done all these other, like, amazing games or whatever. He was like, uh, I think out of like the excitement for Sly Cooper and how many, like, it's like 10 people or something. He was like, it's like a very few amount of

people who would be like geared and like jolted by making another one. I don't think that's true. I just think it wouldn't do numbers the same way, uh, like, you know, Ghost of Yote or one of those types of games would so they just don't care. I want them to just do another. infamous with Cole again which is the main character from the first two because they changed protagonists in the third one the generation switch I love Slike CooperDia

have you ever you've never played it right no but one of my friends loves it as well and I'd always see them on like a PlayStation Network playing like because you can go back and play them oh yeah they release I don't know if it's like remake or remaster but like you're able

to play them on like PS5 and shit I have I have all three on, I have the PS2 ones at home, but I would love to play that with you at some point. Those games are awesome. Like I used to, my cousins would come over and like we would all just, that was one of the, that in Catamari-Namasi were like the two games that my cousins and I would all like, whenever it was a family gathering,

we'd all gather around the TV upstairs and we would play one of those. There's Sly Cooper, and infamous, but like, there are Sly Cooper nods in the world of Sushima and stuff, like, whether it's like a weapon or... Really? Do they have the hook? They don't, not like as a weapon or anything, but like for infamous, they had this wall painting of like this guy that looks exactly like the protagonist with like a sword that lightning is coming from. Or like it was like a specific looking sword because in the second game they introduced, in the first game, from what I remember you have your lightning powers

and maybe you can punch but in the second game they gave you like a melee weapon that was like this you know it has its hilt and then it goes into like this two-pronged thing for the electricity

for your electricity powers to course through and they kind of had a katana weapon in the mural looks similar to that what I've uh what I liked about Sly Cooper was like each game

had like a like a dossier of bad guys so each game would have like five or six or seven different like bosses and then each boss had its own world and each one was like themed after a different place like on earth um so like it was it was super fun just like uh going to the different places could you tackle them at any order no no no no it was it was a it was chronological but okay like ones in india one's in like Paris ones like Vegas it's it's is it a stealth game I would imagine because yeah well there there's there I mean it's like I've never played it it's not complex stealth it's more like

press square to sneak past and don't get caught when the guards walking by and then is the combat fun or are you supposed to not get into the combat as much and you're supposed to sneak more I like the combat but it's it's it's very cartoon and like sell shaded and which is funny because infamous while it had a certain style but its cut scenes would all be comic book panels kind of slightly animated. That's how it was in Sly, too. Wait, really? Yeah.

Oh, that's cool. The cut scenes would be all, like, uh, cartoons that were, like, still images that would, like, have slight movement. They do the same thing in Ghost of Yote, too. There's specific, like, um, you'll find a guy playing, I can't remember what the instrument's called, but he's playing an instrument and maybe, and, uh, he, he tells you mythical tales and there's probably like four or five around the map, and each time he tells you a tale. It goes into this kind of like ink drawn painting of stills with the slightly moving

particle effects. I love that. Motion. So they've kept it pretty consistent throughout their development. It seems like something they, they like to do for the storytelling. Makes me sad, though, that there's no, no prospects for another sly game. Yeah, I mean, he said there's not, there wouldn't, there's not a bunch of excitement. They, like, it's not, there's no one, I'm sure if there was someone like leading the charge maybe, but it doesn't sound like there's that person there. I guess it's like a lot of people do love the franchise, but I guess there's a lot of nostalgia and it's like they would, they'll play the old ones like remastered, but like would they buy a new one? Yeah, I mean, that's proven almost like, um, with Destroy All Humans, while

it did somewhat well and they made a little bit of money off of the remakes, it didn't do so well as to like reinvigorate the brand. The same thing happened to the Dead Space remake, which is beloved and super high quality and probably one of the best remakes ever made, but it didn't do as well as like EA would want for them to do a Dead Space 2 remake, which is actually horrible because Dead Space 2 is like the best one. And it sucks that we're not getting that because they're like, it didn't make as many millions as we wanted. You know what I mean? It's just kind of like seems petty and stupid. Did we do Dead Space 2 on the channel? We played a little bit of Dead Space 2. Okay, that's what I thought. Yeah, we did Dead Space 2 because that's with a,

mega right yeah we had um something box we didn't we made a tiny box Tim joke in it I remember that's okay I remember that now yeah yeah yeah yeah but I don't want to talk about tiny box Tim do you want to talk about ad ad reads because we have to do another little break contractually obligated yeah and if we don't have ads this week then this is just embarrassing it's very if we don't have like two like enough for both of the maybe there was like one at the uh the first commercial break but then the second commercial break might just be barren and empty hey did that check come through no get no frills delivered shop the same in-store prices online and enjoy unlimited delivery with pc express pass

Where? Mississippi. Mississippi. Okay. I was hoping it would be another South Carolina monkey situation. I know. Well, there was recently another South Carolina monkey situation where there was one that was on the loose. Well, first there were ten jumping on a bed.

Yes, but one fell off and bumped his head. And then there were nine. Yeah. Little monkeys. Jumping on the bed. But there was one in South Carolina and they lured it back with a cup of coffee. and there's a video of it and they got it back

and then like a week later fast forward to now there was a truck carrying diseased monkeys for a research facility monkeys that were infected with COVID hepatitis and herpes okay so not like fun

superhero type like these monkeys are radioactive and if you get attacked by you'll turn into monkey man And that would be sick if they had some kind of like... You'll just get herpes. Yeah, you'll just get herpes, hepatitis, and COVID. If you get attacked by these monkeys.

The triple combo. But the truck crashed and five of the monkeys escaped on the freeway. Now, do the monkeys cause... Do they go, monkeys together strong and cause, like, cause the crash or anything? Not, but I know. Maybe they slip something into the driver's like coffee, right? Right before we started driving. It's like this plan.

If I were the driver, I would say that the monkeys caused... the crash because what they can't like testify and say no we didn't i'd be like yeah they all teamed up and they caused the crash because they did then that would take the responsibility and and also apes together strong yeah it's true but but ape alone not strong um but yeah they i don't they haven't caught them all yet they're just running around i saw like a bunch of heavily armed like police officers uh on the freeway and then just like there's some monkeys just sitting in the grass just chilling looking around there's so much crazy did you see the the the the police chase

and I think it was California with the guy on the motorcycle who some car just I guess decided to be a hero or whatever and side swiped him and so he like crashed and no it's a guy that like shot a police officer in the head

and then was on the run damn yeah have you not seen that video I don't have my phone with me I have not no I saw a video of a guy on a mini bike like a like a crotch rocket in a police chase

like a tiny little thing just oh then there's this other one where there was another police chase where there's a guy in a car and then he tried to jump oh he got out of the car jumped over the median and then got hit by a car on the opposite side of the highway damn damn and it was one of those things where the news cameras close in is like okay there he goes there he goes and then the minute he gets hit they cut to why and they're like oh yeah don't go back in on that don't go commercial don't go back in on that yeah they get in trouble that's why whenever someone says the effort on on tv they're so like on live tv because the i'm pretty sure the state

gets fined. They're so excited for blood to be spilled, but they can't show any. I know. What's the point? You know, you have these other countries, you know, back in the day showing public executions on television, and now, you know, we've gotten so woke that you can't even show a guy getting hit by a car on a live police chase. You know, there's a certain subsect of the right that believes that public execution should be televised and then watch. Children should show up, actually, and sponsored by big business, like Coca-Cola. Amazon, sure. Well, the big news in Amazon right now is that Jeff Bezos wants to get his hands on Sydney Sweeney as the new Bond Girl in the Amazon MGM's Bond series movie thing. I don't know what it is. Really? But he wants Sydney Sweeney in a role. So says Reddit. You know. Well, she showed up to like his big birthday party or wedding. Probably birthday party too, I'd imagine.

He combined the two, yeah. He combines it every year. Every year he gets married and it's always on the birthday. He says, this is more my birthday party than the wedding. I want to make sure that's clear before it goes off, you know. I want to make sure that the birthday party happens in the beginning and the end and the wedding can happen in the middle. And it's a very short little, quick thing. It's just kind of like, oh, kiss the bride.

It's kind of, he equated it to like when you get the, well, in his words, when you get the fellas with the sombreros to play their music. And it's good music. Yeah. It's great music when the fellas with the sombreros do play it. Yeah. It's a mariachi. band as well have you ever been able to uh like have you ever looked into mariachi bands not really like

what it what it costs to rent one no but there was this uh ticot family that was like a daughter a son and a father who was a mariachi band and they went around they seemed pretty cool this would have been great if we'd pre-planned it and we could bring in a mariachi band right now but they love i mean it's great music it is great music um there's a lot of in los angeles you know after living here for over a decade, there's lots of radio stations that just play Marriachi music. Well, and the best, I think the best thing Marriachi bands have given us is that hilarious bit where something awkward, no, not just in SpongeBob, any media, where something awkward happens. And then, right, you know, as the tone gets serious, the Marriachi band comes and plays,

and they're like, da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da. And they're like, oh, geez, no, go, go, go, go, go, now's not the time. That's classic. I love that bit. And we have to do it at some point. 100% We have to We should do it in real life though

So like we should make sure That like we know something like We know something We're giving someone bad news We're giving something Yeah okay Like when we have to like fire Luke Or something

We have the mariachi band ready And then it's just like Yikes Sorry Luke We just We didn't know they'd be here It's such a Yeah you guys did

I edited the podcast episode Where you talked about this happening So very funny Well if it's any console There's no consolation Shut the fuck up And then he pulls out a gun And shoots us both in the face

both in the face because he wants to make sure that our families don't get to properly grieve with an open casket funeral they don't get to see us one last time because shooting us in the face removes any you know like ability for them to ever see us again they could just uh he shoots us with a shotgun in the face as well so there's there's no reconstruction that's able to be done they could get someone in Hollywood to make a like a 3D well that we don't they don't have the scans anymore because we're shotgun gunned and we're mush. But we can go get 3D scans now of our heads so in the future if our heads get blown off that's a great idea so when Luke does inevitably do it and go

or go postal you know we can we can have that ready for our families I mean we could already just get the facial like the reconstructions printed well how about this instead of going through that because that's a little how about we just get miniatures of ourselves

that they can display just in case, yeah. Dude, I wish that that was like a tradition. It's like a service that's offered where it's like, listen, before you die, you know, what do you got to take care of? You got to make a will, but you also can get your body scanned with a 3D scanner and we'll make a tiny version of you that your family can display on, you know, on top of the mantle or something. It's like a perfectly 3D scanned.

In a coffin. Yeah. You can pose them however you want them. And then when the wake happens, like the visitation or whatever, and people come to... He could be, like, sitting all cute where you sign the book. Like, he's sitting like this. Oh, there he is. Oh.

Yeah, so, I mean, he was shotgun in the face, so we can't actually show the, you know, we couldn't have an open casket, but we do have this miniature version of him. They have a little store. They have a little shop at the funeral as well where you can buy a Christmas ornament. Yeah, you can, and they're, you know, not as high quality as the one that's displayed, because that one's really nice. but and everyone is handed out they're given one of those like you know in the i spy books they came with the little magnifying glass but it's like a bookmark yes everyone's given one of those that has like the uh the visitations like in memoriam of with the date and everything that's like a souvenir and people get to you know go up close and they get to look and see all the fine details so it's

not cheap or hackish some thought was put into it and it's actually quite beautiful very beautiful and moving i mean this is not a horrible idea I mean, I don't see anyone else in the market. You know, it's capitalism. We got to get in on this on the ground level. And the best part of capitalism is exploiting people when they're at their lowest. And when a family member dies, that's the best time to exploit them. And because what, what, they're not going to pay for a miniature version of their loved one?

Exactly. Yeah, exactly. Same like funeral homes. How are you going to remember them? How are you to remember what they look like? And we can get them scented like them. And same with what funeral homes do. They're like, yeah, but you're dead.

Relative really would have wanted the nicer coffin. Are you really going to do them dirty by cheaping out? I mean, you could do the cheap casket, but I'm going to be honest with you. It's like it's something that most people do for kind of like a, like if a, if a transient gets hit by a car and they have to have a service or something. And there's some family member. Yeah, it's not something that one would do for a loved one, but, but again, I'm not here to judge. I don't know your financial situation. Exactly.

And I don't want to put you in a situation. I'm just saying, you know, you. I'm sure they wouldn't mind. You only die once and, you know. Yeah, that is very funny how the funeral home industry, A, charges so fucking much for coffin, funeral, all that stuff. It's wood. But basically they-

It's shaped wood. They guilt you into the whole thing where it's like, but, you know, you really loved this family member, right? Don't, wouldn't they, you know, if they, they're looking down from heaven as you, as you make this choice for which coffin to get. We're actually cremating. Then, oh, then, pulls out a big display

of all the different, like fucking vases they have urns. This one's 25,000, but it will keep the ashes very dry. The inside of this one is gold. Now, you can't see the gold, but their ashes will be touching the gold.

And they would, isn't that, you know, what they want? What they would have wanted? It's what I would want. I mean, that's on the cheap end. My family couldn't afford anything.

I mean, is what most people get for their for the relatives they love they the gold in the in the gold in the gold inlined or what would it be the gold interior urn gold imbued dude i don't like it's it genuinely is bullshit how much it costs to to bury a loved one where it's like even even cremation is expensive but like a lot of funeral places are like yeah but you know you still want to get a a coffin and a great plot symbolically a lot of people do uh but it is a waste of land the grave the the the grave sites i get like i do get it though i get wanting to visit uh like a grave yeah spider man did it all the time with uncle ben you know exactly exactly it's sweet it's it's it's it's it's it's poignant you know i would love i do i definitely want to be cremated i don't want to be dude it's just kind of like to me it it i don't want to be like uh filled with like formaldehyde and sawdust and then like have makeup put on and then look all creepy just to be like

just for like my loved ones to see me and go oh that's that's a very uncanny version of him and he's oh yeah and he's dead i think it's best to have like just a like a about this big just a picture of like a like a head like a head shot yeah next to it have like a book open where people can flip through candid shots of you through life sure yeah like one from every year you don't need a cast you don't need to see someone's dead body We're past that Although I'm not against Sailing me off into a lake

And shooting an arrow of fire On to the The little makeshift boat of wood Like a Viking funeral Those are pretty cool And I'll be on the shore I'll see you in Fahala brother And then you'll forget to set the air on fire

So just goes That was the only arrow So it's just not gonna So it's just me stuck in the head With an arrow slowly flipping up So it's not gonna get lit on fire in sync so it's now it's so someone's gonna have to go out there now and and and because otherwise you see like an alligator get to the side and oh yikes oh well uh whoops i would like to be well i'm gonna have

to be cremated when luke shotguns my face there's going to be no visitation like we said exactly but um i do think we're on to something with this this miniature idea right and you know you can get on the ground level of this idea. We actually have a lot of backers of this idea. Already. And you can see the people who have given the most with, we have a list of these people up showing right now. The people with emojis are people who have given 100,000 or more to this idea already. And the people who don't have emojis, it's, you, they've, do their lending support of some sort? Yeah, it's more of like verbal or just visual support for us to see the people. And if you

like to support this project you go to patreon.com slash super mega and you know you can get your name on this list and get stickers in the mail after you yeah mostly it'll be for the for the stickers the extra podcast content like a little bit of podcast we record after this you get an extra try you get an extra slice of this

episode we uh we uh the uncle sleep over the where we watch movies and talk over them that's on that's on patreon as well a little behind the scenes every now and then a little bit of this a little bit of this you know just end it Luke what it's disrespectful You're talking about it? There's none of that.
