An IG private wealth advisor creates the clarity you need with plans that harmonize your business. your family and your dreams. Get financial advice that puts you at the center. Find your advisor at IGPrivatewealth.com. Ben Stiller.

Has he ever, I can't remember a scene of him singing in anything. Maybe like half-heartedly and like night at the museum to like calm down some sort of curse or something. But the curse that's about to kill him. Unless he sings Lenny Kravitz. Ooh, baby, I love the way. And then the monster starts going, then it starts the wagg its tail and he's like okay okay

he starts to get a little more confident and then he like forgets the lyrics the next part yeah then it turns mad again and then like one of the other like a statue or a painting starts singing along with him and he's like to help that's right that's right that's right and then it leads to a big number where all the all the exhibits are singing and the curse goes back into its little genie land yeah yeah dude we just thought of the fourth film yeah unless they're already is. There's probably a fourth night at the museum. I know there's a first and second. I think there's a third. Oh, wait, there's battle for the Smithsonian. Which is the second one.

Right. And then there's... The other one. There's another one. King Tutsk curse. Something. I don't know. There's got to be... There are three. I know for a fact there's three. There's night of the museum. Yeah. Nine of the museum. Battle for the Smithsonian. And then Night of the Museum. Hank Azaria is in the second one? Yes. And then the third one, I don't think anyone saw the third one. I don't think I saw the third one. Jonah Hill was in the second one, right? What?

He was like a small part as like a security guard that was just kind of like giving Ben Stiller a hard time. That, I mean, that makes a lot of sense. Ladies and gentlemen, you're about to find out if there was a third or fourth night at the museum after this intro. Go to the intro. A little cliffhanger, cold. Yeah, that's right. A cliffhanger cold open. So they have to stay.

And it's related. Go to the intro, loose. All right, buckle up, guys, because I just went to the Wikipedia page for Night at the Museum, parentheses, franchise. So this will show all of them. And there's three or four? There's three, right? There's not four. Night at the Museum is an American media franchise of fantasy comedy films based on the 1993 children's book.

I never was read that book. I yeah I didn't know it was a book I wonder how many things that we we've enjoyed are like based on a previous work that we just have no clue the iron giant is based on a previous work but I will say is is nothing like the book yeah they they definitely

completely different well they didn't even take like I would say they took creative liberties away from the book they they kept some names and that's it but there's there's an iron giant There's a kid named Hogarth. If I remember, I think his name is still Hogarth. Would you like it? Okay, how would you feel before I get into the night of the museum stuff?

How would you personally feel if they announced they were making a reboot of the Iron Giant? And this one was, this one stuck a lot more true to the original book. With the giant dragon the size of Australia? Yeah, that's a huge dragon. Yeah, dude, it's a massive dragon. It's insane. Yeah, I don't know if the. book would lend itself to being as magical as the film.

This is, it's one of the instances where I think I, I, I, I appreciate the, the works that came after. Well, it's funny because they took like,

I guess, the movie is still super imaginative, but it's like they took a lot of the imagination from the original story and just like, threw it away and, and made it a lot more honed it down, made it more real. Realistic.

But it works still. Grounded it. It works. Because I feel like in most cases, if they took the original book and just like, and made it super a lot more realistic, we wouldn't like it. But like, this is an example where it's great. All right. Night at the Museum, 2006.

It's time to get answers. Number two. Night at the Museum Battle of the Smithsonian, 2009. Nice. And it had Jonah Hill in it, by the way. I just want to reiterate. It has Amelia Earhart in it. That's true.

Amy Adams. playing Amelia Earhart Dude, you got a fucking Wikipedia and your brain of this stuff All right Ramey Malick was in Was he in the third one? Was he Tutt?

Yeah, he was one like a young I don't know if it was Tutt but it was some young prince or some young pharaoh. Night at the Museum Secret of the Tomb 2014 I don't remember that at all

I don't I don't I didn't think I saw night of the museum the secret tomb Secret of the tomb Listen to this dude That's a horrible horrible name Secret of the tomb

That's almost as bad As the Indiana Jones And the great circle Or whatever it was The big circle The crazy circle That would have been awesome That would have been

Because you're like What makes it so crazy Whoa I gotta find out why it's crazy The Fonzol's like jagged And stuff It's like Jogger Man Fawn

Where it's like Five years after the second film Larry discovers that the tablet of Akman Ra's magic That's what turned everything alive in the first one. He and his now teenage son Nick, along with Teddy Roosevelt,

Sakajia, Jedediah, Octavius, Dexter, Attilathon, and a new caveman figure named Laa, with three A's, who looks like Larry, travel to the British Museum in London to undo the curse with the help of Akman Ra's parents and the narcissistic Sir Lancelot

of Camelot before the tablet's magic disappears forever. We might have to watch all three of these for an Uncle Sleepover Marathon. Now. And we release it, whenever we do a marathon, we'd have to release all the Uncle Sleepovers within that month. I think it's a great idea. You know, not just like, not three months to get through three movies. I think that's a great idea.

I think that's a great idea. Okay. I was thinking about. Because that would be a perfect one. What if we did like a YouTube episode of Spy Kids? We did the trilogy, but we put all three into one episode. Ooh, just like the whole trilogy? I don't know.

That might be really long. I'm not sure. but what if I told you it doesn't stop there yeah there is a fourth one oh my god 2022 what yeah why do I not remember this this was recent this was four years ago night at the museum common ra rises again that is not the name of it and that that is a direct to that that is like on Disney channel or some shit animated okay see see now now it makes sense now it makes sense I don't I'm not sure if I count that as a fourth installment. Night at the Museum. Common Raw rises again, also known as Night at

the Museum 4. Common Ra rises again. It's a 2022 animated fantasy comedy film. Was Ben Stiller even a voice? Like, did he voice it? Because like if they don't have any of that in there, they can't name itself a fourth. It's like, Home Alone 3 trying to step in and be like, I'm a Home Alone too. Dude, they also made Home Alone like four and shit. They did. They did. I think they've made five and six. And six potentially. I think they did. Zachary Levi's in it. In which one? Four? Not home alone in Night at the Museum four.

Oh. Is he Ben Stiller? I'm looking at the voice Joshua Bassett, Jamie Demetriou Alice Izaz. A lot of people in Wikipedia pages I've never Thomas Lennon. Is that John Lennon's son? Nope. Sorry. No, you're good, dude. I get it. I get it.

But doesn't Thomas Lennon? I just clicked this guy. Dude, couldn't he 100% play Gavin Newsom in a movie? You know who that is? You know exactly? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Lieutenant Short pants, Hot Pants. From Reno 911 with the short pants.

That's not his name. I forget his officer. Dangle. Dangal, that's it. He could play Gavin Newsom. I love him. Whenever I see him in a movie, it's like one of those things. I get a warm feeling because I'm like, I love seeing him.

I'm glad that he's still, like, getting work and shit. Although the last time, not the last time I saw him, but I remember the first time seeing him outside of Reno 911. I think he was in this Zach Ephron movie called 17 again. No. What's the one with Zach Efron? 17 again. Is that his?

Because there's a bunch of ones where it's like, wait. Some person wants to be, there's big, of course, but it's not big. Big is great movie. Your attention has, has magnet. to ties onto your phone. What's up? Well, I was going to say, uh, did you know that he wrote Night at the Museum? Ben Stiller?

Dangl. He, like, he's not just a co-writer. He like wrote, wrote? No, when it's a movie like this, they're a shit ton of writers. He is the screenwriter of several comedies released by major film studios with his writing partner Robert Garant, with whom he wrote Night at the Museum, the Night of the Museum films, The Pacifier, Balls of Fury, and Baywatch. Wasn't a fan of Baywatch? The new one?

Yeah, Balls of Fury, I remember really cackling as a kid watching it. That's an Uncle Sleepover movie. Have you not? Balls of Fury? The original ping pong movie? I feel like... Before Marty Supreme? Fuck out of here, Timmy.

Honestly, dude, I feel like there's two movies that every time I tell you I haven't seen, it shocks you. And it's so shocking that like, I feel like your brain throws it away because it doesn't want to believe it. Yeah, it's just like, it's too painful to come to grips with. Balls of Fury and Dodge Ball. I mean, we have to watch those for Uncle Sleepover. Those are, but I would love to see both of them. I would really love to see Balls of Fury, though. Because we have the Wii game because that was actually like.

We never played it. No. And I bought that Wii game before we even started Super Mega because I was like, this would be a good thing on the new channel to play. We never played it. Christopher Walkins in it, dude. I know. He plays like the emperor of ping pong or some shit.

He's wearing some like 90s outfit the whole time. Yeah, he is. He's wearing like something a Chinese emperor would wear. I'm almost tempted just to watch it today. I want to get balls of fury like up in my brain. We can watch it this week. I would love to. Because for Patriot, wait, I forget if an editor that is working on a sketch is, is that Wednesday?

Adam said he was coming by. Yeah. We have time. Oh, we got time, dude. There's always time for balls of fear. He doesn't even wake up until 2 p.m. 4 p.m. Now, I told him not to wake up at 2 p.m. anymore, and he said, all right, four, and I said,

deal. You went the opposite direction that you expected. He went later. And I couldn't back down from that. Yeah, because I, you know, he called my bluff, and I just had the only way to win is to go, yep. So, I think. I think. I mean, I won.

Yeah. Yeah. Same with Luke. That's why Luke wakes up at 6 p.m. now, and I'm instead of 6 a.m. him and I'm sorry about that. I just want to apologize. I miss seeing him at the office. Yeah, me too.

But he called my bluff and that's what happens. Anyway, Balls of Fury would be fantastic to watch this week as well as dodgeball in the future. We might have to play the Balls of Fury Wii game after watching, uh, upload that as a one-off. Release it back to back? It's Balls of Fury Week over here at Super Mega. It's Balls of Fury Week, 2026. All things Balls of Fury. The Super Mega Boys have your back.

Facts, fun tips, and games. We get slimed and shit. I'm loving this idea. Dude, what if we do a live stream and we get slimed? Except with ping pong colored slime. Pink pong ball colored slime. White slime? Yeah, exactly, dude.

Oh, just dripping with it. Dude, I just got slime. Oh, man. But there's a tinge of maybe, like, cream. color, you know. We're dressed up in our in our Chinese emperor outfits. Just dripping with white slime

with a tinge of cream. We're in the full Fu Manchu. Someone hasn't watched us in a couple years and they tune in like, what are they up to? It's just us fucking dripping with calm. Just in these Chinese outfits. Oh man! It's Balls of Fury Week, ladies and gentlemen.

So this is what they're up to. All right. Clicks right off. I'm going to go watch Critical. See, now, the common viewer might look away at that and go, yikes. but if Mr. Beast saw something like that, we'd be his new dancing monkeys in a heartbeat. Get them out here to be in this cube of streamer, of 50 other streamers.

I have some, I have some awesome, this is Mr. Beast. He's like, if they can do good with that, I have some wonderful, zany, traditional Indian garb that I'd like them to do little TikToks in.

And he sends us to India. Mm-hmm. To do the TikToks. And it's Mr. Beast, Indian TikToks presented by Super Mega. The Mr. Beast Minions. The Mr. Beast brothers because he's going to force us to kind of go with. Yeah, exactly, exactly.

Dude, if he offered us a million dollars a month to do that and give up Super Mega. I'm sorry, guys. Yeah, I'm going to India, dude. You know, they say money can't buy happiness, but it sure can buy a pleasant life and knowing that you're well taken care of into retirement. I mean, a million dollars a month would go very far in India. We could be living it up. Dude, we could, we could, I guess, just build our own high rise, live at the tippy top.

We'd be the Mr. Beast brothers. Everyone in the country of India would know us. The building has two, both of our heads smiling at the very top. And I live in my head. You live in your head. We have helicopters that come out of our mouths. Dude, that's in like between the ears. There's like a, there's like a cleave.

tube. They're like, we can climb through to the other one. Mr. Beast. I'm serious. Can someone get this idea to him? No one has imagination like us on the Mr. Beast team. I can say that. Carl Jacobs. No, get the fuck out of here, Carl. Who is he? Some other South Carolina

bullshit freak. He just happened to meet ride when it was convenient for him. I knew Carl Jacobs before he worked for Mr. Beast back in South Carolina. You hung out with them once. I didn't hang out. Well, by By extension.

Yeah. He had a sleepover at a friend's house. And you knew that friend. Friends little brother was friends with Carl Jacobs. Before Carl Jacobs was doing YouTube videos. And I had to sleep over at the house at the same night. Are they still doing stuff, like, giving Carl Jacobs, like, his own, like, burger and ice cream flavor and all that in the Mr. Beast town? I saw Mr. Beast walk in through the fucking SpaceX factory with Elon and right behind, I see Carl Jacobs.

Just, just. Just is he all red in the face and smiling and giddy Yeah, he had an erection and you could see the head and everything poking through it was I'm talking about Elon Elon had an action He's wearing his new uh you know those the material that see-through backpacks have yeah he has pants like that now and uh He's like technically I'm wearing clothes I'm going clothes He goes to like public spaces and movie theaters dress like that just to be like It's close. I mean, uh,

I'm wearing pants, see? You're like, you see his little cock. Except it's like pressed against it. Like, imagine, you know, press your penis or press whatever against like a, the glass of your shower,

like, uh, screen or whatever. Just push it. And that's what it looks like. See? You kind of don't know what you're looking at at first.

You're like, oh my god. They're like, is he wearing tan pants? Oh. Oh. It's up on my penis. I bet.

that you did not sink that coming. Wait a minute. Hold on. Hold on. He runs in the other room. I still have this, by the way. He's like, runs out, goes, puts down the sink, comes out with a giant letter C. Come on.

Come on. Sorry, I had the wrong prop. Slips and it just falls on. Cracks his head open. Knocks the wind out of him. Then he becomes like a good, then he, for the rest of his days, he's like in some hovering wheelchair with a robot voice. Just like his mentor. Mr. Hawking.

This mentor. Genius, the man the myth, the legend. They both been to the island. Oh. I wonder if, hopefully Eddie Redmayne didn't do any sort of... That should have been in the movie.

I don't think... I'm not sure if it was... Was it... Is it very recent, like, in terms of the last few years where we know that Stephen Hawking was a part of this? Or is this stuff that, like, if you did your hard research

and you read, like, files of, like, shit beforehand, you would have caught wind of this. Passed my book? Fairly recent. I mean fairly recent is like in the past decade Not like Yeah, okay, past decade I mean, I think it was known

It just wasn't like a big deal because Stephen Hawking went to the island For like fundraiser stuff Way back in the day Fun raise Fun D raising Yeah exactly dude He was getting his D raise and he was having fun

Check this out I think we actually put him in the I don't want to spoil anything But in the Epilogue of our book I'm pretty sure he's mentioned in connection to Epstein. Dude, also, how perfect is the timing of this Epstein stuff with the re-release of our book?

Dude, I was jumping up in the air, smiling whenever the news dropped about Epstein. I was like, I can't imagine a better time for all this stuff. Yeah, I was beside myself, dude. There it is, there it is. Yeah. The urn that held Stephen Hawking's ashes. What happened with the urn? Like, where was this urn?

It was on the Lodiya Express. Actually, so I think this, hold on, this might be a slight tweak I made. I think it might be. No, no, no, no, because I think he was in the original, but he was still alive. So we just mentioned him, and I think I changed it so in the new version. It's the urn that held his ashes. I mean, we have the original, what chapters that in? That's in the epilogue.

Wait, is it? Yeah. Okay, hold on. See, it's, it's, uh, It's right after Former President and Certified Freak Bill Clinton The urn that held Stephen Hawking's ashes

The pages aren't going to be the same But it's... No, of course, I'm just trying to see where... It's... It's... See, look. Into the book? Right here.

Okay. End of the book. I'm just going to guess. It's going to be down here. Yeah, ashes. Oh! Stephen Hawking's ashes. Okay, so that wasn't a tweak.

He was already dead at that point, I guess. Oh, and how could I forget the one that hits home the hardest, Prince Andrew? Which so much stuff has happened. I know he's not a prince anymore. Oh, almost forgot about the real-life Tony Stark. Elon Musk. Yeah. Oh, he was in Iron Man too, as himself.

You know what's funny is when we included Elon in there, it wasn't out that he had been, you know, been basically. We wrote about in there about how Elon. on tried his hardest to go to the island and get them to like him. Did we really? Yeah. But wait, did we predict him like trying his best to come on guys. You know, I'm just feeling kind of down right now. I'd really need a fun party.

But one of the in bold and italicized fun parties, you know. Oh, almost forgot about the real life Tony Stark. Sorry. kind of an easy one to forget it warrants my heart a bit knowing that if Elon had friends they probably miss them right Matt asked already knowing the answer dude Elon probably read our book

at the best time until he got to that page and went I sprayed spit dude I saw that that was a fine mist yeah it was like spittle it was spittle missed from my perspective I saw it was lit up by that backlight a fine miss it for sure was to the point where it was like a week one

granted, but it was still a Pokemon move. It was like to the point where it was like it was heavy enough. It was visual enough. I'm sorry. It's okay. You're playing Pokemon? Are you playing with a water type? Are you playing with a fire type?

Probably not. I'm, I'm, I'm, so recent, so over the weekend, I decided it was time to play video games.

And I, I got out to the Nintendo Switch light, Nintendo Switch light, not the regular Nintendo Switch. And what did I do? I, I went on the e-shop and I saw. Brand new video games for download now. It was Pokemon Fire Red. And tell them how much it was. And Pokemon Leaf Green. And tell them how much it was.

Stop! Tell them how much the video game was. I remember! And I got Pokemon Fire Red. Now, why did you choose Fire Red over? Red better than green. That's what I'm saying. And, yeah, I got Pokemon Fire Red, and I chose Charmalian.

Mandar. Who turned it in. the Charmilian. And then Charzard. I was trying to remember the order. God bless you. I know. I got...

Fuck. There's this random little like that happened. That just appeared in a now. I just need the cough. Sorry. Dude, sometimes you got a cough. Sometimes it happens. I'm trying to drink water

to make sure my throat knows. No, it's okay. Yeah. For those who were unaware, because I was unaware, Pokemon Fire Red and Leaf Green just got ported to Switch and they're in the e-shop.

And I went, I got Fire Red. And I'm fucking... How's all that old music, too? Dude, so good. Is it the one where it's like, da-da-da-dun-dun-da-da-dun-da-d-d-da-d-d-d-d-route. Route 1, baby. Fuck yeah.

It's a... Dude, I really... I've never played fire red or leaf green. Because, I mean, it's a remake of, like, red and blue and yellow. And it's, uh... It's really, it's fucking... It's fire. It's dope.

It's from 2004. I really like it. It's got a lot of, like, uh, polish on it. They, the new, they recently showcased like wind and wave, which are the new Pokemon games coming out. Yeah. And the graphics actually, I'm looking at it, I'm like, wow, this looks decent. I'm guessing Pokemon company looked at Game Freaker, whoever's making this one. I was like, hey, we got to look at least as good, if not at least slightly better than Powell World.

We can't be shown up by like a, by like a Rust clone with Pokemon. that type of thing. Honestly, like, first, I haven't seen anything from wind and wave. I haven't seen, like, the graphics or videos or anything. I've heard about it in 2027, I think. Yeah. But I do want to, I want to see what the graphics are like. Because they have had that issue where it's like, their graphics, dude, have just been,

I don't know why they try to go for this hyper-realistic style if they can't do it. Wait, did you not see the trailer? No, I haven't. Oh, look. I was going to pull up. green shots. Hold on. Because I feel like for the longest time,

Pokemon, they were like, let's get away from the classic cartoonie style and let's try to do anime with hyper realistic details, even though we aren't really able to pull it off.

It's like, stop, stop the hyperrealism. People don't want that for Pokemon. Make it cute, cartoony. There's some nice lighting, some nice effects, whatever. Oh my God.

Is this not? It doesn't. No, no. Okay, I was about to say. Oh, wait. Is it like Hawaiian? Okay. Oh, dude, if that's actual gameplay,

but look at the water, dude. The water actually looks fucking good. All right, this looks really good. I spoke. I will say those ground textures are still just like, why can't they just... The ground textures, why? Isn't there just a picture?

Can't they just fucking upload a higher resolution pictures? Dude, the thing is, if I was... If I was the developer of games like this, and... The ground was capping me at that level of resolution for ground textures. I'm not going to try to do a super realistic art style. Just make it smooth. I'm going to try to do it like cartoonier, stylized.

Like Tears of the Kingdom ask. Exactly. Work with what you're, you know, work with what you got to work with. Don't try to force this hyper-realistic bullshit when you could. I mean, that's why a lot of older like S&ES games are so charming. The graphics, because they only had so many colors they could work with. They only had so many pixels they could work with. So they basically just had to get creative with it.

They didn't try to force it. Yeah. Oh, I mean, just especially with colors and stuff. Yeah. Like, just being limited. And with music, think of like all the old video game music that like is that we love today. Even like the fucking Tetris theme, right? But it's like a lot of it only, a lot of good art at one point only came as

you were saying just due to kind of the restrictions that were held because it forces you to go another creative route or do something you hadn't thought of before. That's a part of the reason I just love the creative process in general. Yeah. Oh, absolutely. And I think it's interesting how creatively there's a sometimes like when your creativity is is capped or limited by something, it makes you more creative because you have to find a way around. or away.

I don't know. Sometimes it's like you can, I know what you mean, it's just like there can be too much freedom to where it's like it's, it is nice sometimes to be rained in and to give yourself a mold to start with.

Right. It gets the ball rolling a little bit. It does. And it's cool. There's been, I've seen game jams before where they have like specific rules to limit that where it's like,

you can only use this four color palette. And that. Oh, that's fun. Where it's like the Game Boy, like, green colors, like the shades of green. So, like, the artists then have to be like, okay. And you do have to get a lot more creative with it. But you can do a lot with just four colors. It's really cool.

Like, just literally shades of gray or shades of green to look like the old Game Boy style. Because they had to get really creative back then. And the reason certain Pokemon are colored the way they are, at least in First Jet, is because of those color limitations, right? Like the reason the color palette for a lot of like early stuff It's gonna be like brown beigeish And then like with and then primary colors I can't remember there was

There was something where it's like I'm trying to remember which game I want to say it was the Gold Sil was was golden silver and crystal the ones that kind of breached into color more They were for Game Boy Color right? Yeah And then I just remember Emerald looking, dude, my, it's not going to happen because it would be a waste of their time, of course, but I would love for them to do a Pokemon game, like a new style Pokemon game, but it's done

in the top-down play style of the originals, but it's done with the art style of that like Play-O-E-E, like Link's Awakening? Yeah, like Link's Awakening where you're done. It's kind of like shiny and plastic. Yeah, exactly. I feel like they need to hone in on that. with Pokemon. Like you were saying, it's like, why are they trying to make Pokemon in this realistic environment? Like, even look at the fucking Pokemon movie where it's like, yeah, yeah, but

like, imagine an animated movie, like, from, think of all the color that illumination pictures, for example, brings to their films. Like, that's what Pokemon needs. When you, when you, when you, when you, they start doing this like super realistic, you know, graphics and proportions and stuff, I feel like it, it takes away a lot of like what, at least for us growing up, Pokemon was because like Pokemon was not this hyper realistic you know, it was like

cartoony and colorful and in like bubbly and fun. Like on the same line of like neo pets. It's like they're it's for kids. So it's like colorful, fun, imaginative. It's like you're not held within the confines of reality. You can just these

are creatures that of course don't exist in reality. That's what's cool about it. Although it's always cool as a kid. like these movies where they do this are almost made for middle schoolers. Because I remember when I was in middle school, it's like seeing people do some sort of like high quality rendering of like a real life bulbosaurus. Here's Mario.

Yeah. I'm just like, whoa! You know, it's cool. But I don't, I feel like most of the times, uh,

that's just all the factor it has to it's like, oh, that's cool to see it like this with this filter. I, I don't think it brings any, any depth to the, like world design or like just design or like just design. the game in general. It doesn't, it doesn't bring me in. But at the same time, it kind of goes back

to what we were talking about with it being limited. It's like at the time, you know, things looked a certain way because we were younger and they did have more limits. So then us imagining like, what if Mario looked super realistic was because like we, we couldn't really see it like that based on, it would take someone's really skilled to present it. Right. And that's what I hate about AI art in general, honestly. Not to like sidetrack there, but it's just... No, no, I agree. It gives anyone the ability to make something super realistic.

That sounds almost evil, right? It does. Not everyone should have the ability to make art. But it makes, it then makes it easier to make like something someone works really hard on less special. Yes. But, yeah, basically Mario, looking super realistic at the time, as a middle schooler, cool because... Or Bowser, but in real life, dude?

This also kind of proves the point that we were saying as well, because the reason you wanted to see that was because it was different. Yes. And when they try to make the actual movie or newer games like that, it doesn't feel the same because it is so different. It's not the original thing. And it's good to always evolve a series or art. Yeah, I get that. But certain things like Pokemon. Yeah, it's like you don't have to tweet. much. I get like rebrands happening every now and then with certain things. I'm trying to like think of like a major rebrand for some reason. It's one of them. I'm turning into like when you're asked for an example, all of a sudden your brain draws blank of them. Oh, so no example. I know, I know.

specifics. No, but seriously, I don't know why Pokemon doesn't do this. Doom's kind of like a perfect example almost where Doom was very, doom started out as he was like at Arnsickewarm. It's like at arcade shooter, whatever. And then it went into this horror-esque first-person category. And then it revamped itself and turned more into like an arena-style, fast-paced, gory action shooter. Which was, I think, the right rebrand to make. It was getting kind of boring. I never played the, like, horror doom games.

But that's one of the things that didn't entice me. Just realistic alien blood and guts. screaming sharp teeth monsters. I mean, when I see those screaming sharp teeth monsters, I get terrified. Exactly. I want to shoot my TV with a gun. But I feel like Pokemon, we've said this so many times,

and I don't know if they're ever going to do it. I don't know why they don't. If they made another 2D Pokemon game, that's pixel art style. Like, even if they, like, they could make it, it doesn't even have to be like the original pixel art. It can be higher-res pixel art, like closer to diamond or pearl. or black or white, but it's like, people would go nuts for that, dude. But that would mean they have to, this is what's got them.

It's so much easier for them to make. This is what's got them kind of like, I feel like, not lazy, but it's shortcuts they can make. It's like they don't want to remake all those like assets. They're just now remaking all the Pokemon in this like engine where like they can put them in the games and then Pokemon Go and shit or whatever. Oh, and reuse the models for every project. Yeah. But like having to like do the pixel art for like, think about. like how many Pokemon there are.

There used to be, you know, when we were kids, there was only like 151 or like 100 something at the start. And then later there was about 200 something or whatever with second gen. Now there's like 900. Yeah, it's insane. And more coming along the way, of course.

Also, I guess now they have it where it's like, they have all the models and animations in 3D that are made that they can just reuse for every new Pokemon game. And the engine, I don't know, I'm sure they don't have to tweak much. So to do a 2D game, they'd have to recode it from the ground up. And they're like, but people would love that.

People would love it and it would make money, but... Even if it's not 2D, but it's like what you were saying, in the style where it's like top down, same looking like style where it's not like superhuman proportions, but it's done in like that more like Plato or like plasticy cartoon style like Link's Awakening. As I said, that would be a big old dream. That would be a dream come true. But I just, in the realistic world of business, money-making, and corner-cutting, I can see, of course, why, you know, it's like, why would we put in that much work and effort when we're already making a billion million dollars, like, selling all these plushies in the Pokemon store. And Pokemon Goes raking in a shit ton.

And I guess- People flood in our games whenever they buy them or whenever we release them. I guess if they make pixel art, you can't really make plushies of pixel art. or sell that. They do kind of. They have like limited runs of like old style Pokemon where it's like in these in these stores they'll like whenever they open they'll open them out and there's like a flood of people.

It looks like Black Friday here or what it used to look like back in the day where people were trampled and shit. That's like a mad rush for like these rare plushies that are only limited and they drop and one of them was like this gray scale old style Pikachu. Oh, that's actually really cool. In Japan? Mm-hmm. Damn, that's cool, actually. I spoke too soon. Japan's pretty epic.

Dude, Japan's epic. I might have to go live there. No, I think we both should go live there. Restore our foreskins and just get the fuck over there. We should just, uh, we should just stalk PewDie Pie. Just always live near where he is and always happen to be like, oh, hey, man, crazy to run into you again. Oh, hey, hey, Ryan. What is it, like, fourth time this week? second time today but he's like with his wife and kid trying to go for a walk and you and I are just like mind if we join

yeah we're not even asking if we can join just joining just we're on a walk too Putes brofist just kidding man Is he technically a Japanese citizen I don't know if he has a citizenship How long can you can you just live in Japan Without being a citizen and like just Well you have to if you're not a citizen

For long periods You have to leave every six months Like most countries So does he have to leave to leave? every six months they're just kind of like He might have dual citizenship I don't know if

They don't allow dual citizenship And They do just not with America Oh Okay So you can be a dual citizen From certain countries Sweden might be one of those

Just not America Yeah you can't have dual citizenship Japan and America Last time I checked They might have changed that But I'm almost Yeah no I'm pretty sure You can't

If you could You definitely can't Because you know Aaron would have it True He 100 probably would. He'd have their version of the gold card.

Aaron would be walking with his little, it has Shinso Abe. You know, he got shot. Check it out. I remember the day that happened. That was insane. That was insane. Because the assassination. Yeah, of Shenzhou Abe.

Sounds like a movie. I mean, it was of a homemade gun. And when there's like diagrams and stuff, people, it's like, it's in culture to the point where like the image of the gun is used as a meme. Right. I mean, it's, it's, it's pretty crazy. It's like, oh yeah, so gun laws don't work, huh? It's like, people are always going to break laws.

That doesn't mean that we shouldn't have laws. Like, I hate that argument. It's like, how many mass shootings are going to break the law? It's like, yeah, people are going to break the law. That's just what happens every day. People break, like most laws that exist unless, you know, sorry, I don't, I know people. What about that one, those strange laws? I'm, you know, I don't know.

Dude, I'm not a lawyer. It is crazy. I just remember, like, when that happened, I remember, like, staying up in just pressing, like, refresh on the news just to see updates. Dude, I love monitoring the situation. Up dudes. Up dudes. Every time a situation happens, I got to monitor that shit.

Oh, yeah. You know. When Kirk happened? Dude. When the big Kirk got iced? I had to. Well, before we even knew he was iced. You know, because when I saw the.

the awful up-close video. I was like, he might still be alive. It was actually insane that Tim Poole... Sources tell me, Charlie Stable. Please God.

It's like, dude, what are you talking about? Did you watch that fucking video? I think most people who have seen it, I think, agree, where it's like, if you saw it,

in the close-up version, it's like, you knew, like, that was it. That was done. I just remember there being... The second I saw it, I was like, there's no way he lives.

He's dead. And then the situations after that, I think, that I followed strongly were the Renee Good and Alex Pready killings by federal law enforcement. I hate having big events. There's a lot of big events.

They just always pepper in. And in the next year, I'm sure there will be many more. I'm sure it's March 2nd today. I'm sure there will be many more big events this month. Wasn't there a shooting in Texas too? Yeah. At a bar? the weekend.

Two people died, 14 injured. And then in Long Beach, there was some shooting at an opening of a restaurant. I don't even know the details on that, really. The shooting in Texas, I think, was someone doing that in retaliation for us bombing Iran over the weekend. Because we also kind of went to war with Iran over the weekend. That's true. Kind of skip past congressional, any sort of. So that's it.

I was monitoring that situation over the weekend. Dude, there needs to be a website for monitoring the situation. Dude, remember when we carpet bomb to Venezuela? I mean, Vietnam. What? We didn't carpet bomb Venezuela, dude. We essentially did. We went in, did you not see the videos of all the, like, dude, that was crazy.

And like a lot of them were just fucking civilian houses and shit. Yeah, we killed a lot of civilians. But that doesn't matter. It's just a fireworks show. Hey, killing civilians in another country is just a firework show to Pete Hegseth. He's sitting there with a big. grin on his face. Oh yeah, he got Cash Patel pounding the fucking thing

going with a big thing of champagne. We got him! It was actually just a little bottle of Modela, but Patel is a small dude, so it looks like a big bottle of champagne. That's my bad. The perspective thing. You think Peter Jackson worked on that shit. Dude, the way Cash Patel, when he was celebrating the men's hockey team in that video, like it looks like the way like a little, like a toddler gets excited and celebrates because he just has these small proportions and it's just

John, no, from the daily show. Stewart? Yeah, John Stewart, he put it best. It looked like a make-a-wish. Yeah.

Like, I remember having that thought watching it being like, this just looks like kind of like, you know, the whole team's around this very happy little guy that's super excited and he's like going a little above and beyond because like he doesn't, but it just, Cash Patel is.

the energy of like, I didn't have this experience of being cool in college or anything, so I'm going to have it now as a 50-year-old and I'm going to use taxpayer money to show off and make my girlfriend wet. Hey, you want FBI security, babe? You want to ride on the FBI train, baby? Hey, babe, you ever seen someone shake a bottle of beer? Watch this. Woo! Yeah. Oh, gosh, come on. This is an expensive dress. Great, I'm up to get a dry clean now. Thanks.

Come on, babe, come. Rest easy, brother. We have the watch, bitch. No, seriously, I have an Apple watch. 2.0. Check it out. Charlie would love this shit. Dude. He's going to see him in Valhalla?

Yeah, he's, yeah. Yeah, he is. Dude, sources tell me Charlie's stable. Let's go to ads. One plus one equals more of the greatest stories. Hulu on Disney Plus. Stories about survivors. The most dangerous planet.

Family, retribution. Murder. Prophecy. Beer and propane. Bobby Dillard. Blake panca. The Thunderboots. The ultimate soldier. Chicago, all right?

The best of the best stories now with even more from Hulu. Amazing. Have it all with 3-1 Disney Plus. HIV positive. What you doing? What's up? Nothing, man. Just like stealing stables from the office.

Trying to be like slick about it. But putting them in your fucking hoodie pocket so that it's jingling around. And like throughout the podcast you put your hands and just, they're sharp, dude. They are. And you're going to forget those are in there and you're going to stab your hand with these. Welcome everyone to the climax resolution and falling action of the podcast. Falling action.

Really? I guess, yeah. Your mom did some falling actions right on top of my lap. Whoa. And then she did some rising actions and some more falling actions. That's inappropriate. You're talking about sex with my mother. I am.

Yes. You're talking about sex with my mother and you're laughing. I'm sorry. I'm not laughing. I would never laugh at that. In fact, you're the one laughing. I would cry at it because it's so beautiful. You have a tear dripping out of my eyeball.

That's why she doesn't call you back, brother. I said that's why she doesn't call you back. it was more than cry you were sobbing she's beautiful oh and in the second someone starts to acknowledge that she's beautiful she just disconnects it's a problem she needs to fucking solve

it's not a problem with me me appreciating her beauty and letting her know that she's beautiful that is not a me problem if she if she pulls back after that that's her problem saying I'm too attached I'm too need

say what you need to say say what you need to say. And now you're just trying to fucking get me worked up. That's our song. And you know that because she's told you, hasn't she? Why else would you sing it? And I'm free.

It's not our song. It's her in your stepdad's song. Now you're just trying to piss me off. Dude, it's funny. Somebody once told me the world is going to roll me. It's her in your dad's song. Dude, it's funny how like. She'd sing that to me to sleep.

She'd rock you back and forth. I mean, there are some kids, there's some big Shrek heads out there that are raising kids that, you know, that sing, you know, some sort, you know, they probably do the hallelujah. I was going to say. Even though that's not made for Shrek. It was. I mean, when you were a kid. I heard there was a secret card. I used to think every song was made for the movie.

I mean, you'd hear a soundtrack, especially when they would sell the CD as a soundtrack. And then some of the songs would be missing. And you're like, wait a second. Do you ever remember that? Do you remember that? Do you remember that? Like being like, oh, I remember hearing this song in the movie and then it not being on the like soundtrack or whatever? Yeah, because I guess the bands are like, all right, we gave you the, you paid us to use it in the movie.

You cannot put it on a fucking CD and sell it. Make money. Come on. We have it on a CD. We want people to buy our CDs, not your CDs. Little did they know, though. That fucked them over big time. Because when I'm, when I'm popping in the Shrek soundtrack, I'm forgetting about all the songs that aren't on there.

Yep. You know, I'm, I'm, when I'm. The whole soundtrack? Oh, dude, the whole soundtrack. Absolutely. I wonder if it has... Well, here's the thing. It has all the good ones, at least.

If they pay for the rights, does that also, like, means, like, you can use it... Are there, like... You can use certain music, songs, whatever, for the movie, but then you don't have distribution rights for, like, the song itself or whatever. I think those are two separate things. Like, distribution rights to sell it as a actual musical, like,

product, like a CD, versus rights to use it in broadcast, different things, which obviously distribution would be a much higher fee because you're selling it. And I'm sure some bands are just like, give us more money. And the studio's like, no. You know what's one of the most upsetting

and obnoxious, kind of annoying albums to listen to? It's the Django soundtrack. Thank God. I thought you were going to say, ouch, by Matt Watson. Of course not, dude. But do that soundtrack has, it's, It's just one of those things where a song you like from the movie starts with like a minute long monologue just from one of the characters Oh, I hate that shit.

It just plays one of the scenes from the movies and you're listening to that. I want to listen to the song. If I wanted to hear the dialogue from the movie, I'd watch the movie again. And it's, I think it's one of those two where they'll put in like 30 second tracks of like in between scenes between songs sometimes as well. I don't know. It's just like every time I listen to it, it's like I hate soundtracks where I can't get right to the songs where they play a little bit of the. The movie scene. Honestly, that's probably one of my least favorite things.

Unless it's like a part of the song, of course, they're doing it. Right. But when they, when they add that, you know, that's Quentin trying to be creative. Come on. Put some, put some, put some stuff in for the brothers like me. I like the way you die, boy. Maybe put, you could put one quote in. One, one sentence.

That's the, that's the max, dude. Like, if you're going to throw some dialogue from the movie in, just did it with the Pulp Fiction soundtrack. Like three seconds at the start. Five seconds at the start. Sure. But not like... Even right before the piece.

Yeah. The Pope Fiction, you know, the song that's like... You know, you gotta listen to the whole five-minute. You know what they call it? Big Mac in France? Lay Big Mac. Got to listen to that whole fucking thing. Then I think the glorious bastard soundtrack is the same where it's like scenes are playing.

Although it's like... I can't imagine, because Django has more accurate. actual like music in it whereas inglorious bastards has more of a score um it's i couldn't imagine someone driving in traffic to the score of inglorious bastards it would probably be epic but i might be like what kind of person are you they're an american hero they just they just always are it's always londa's theme or whatever it's just a good song honestly i feel like movie soundtracks just aren't appreciated the same anymore. Because back when you and I were youngens,

I'll tell you, dude, when you got a movie soundtrack on CD, that was the shit, dude, I had the Kangaroo Jack one, I had the Holes one, I had the Shrek one. Those were the big three for me. Yeah. Did everyone have those? Well, the thing that was awesome about the Shrek soundtrack was that you play All-Star and then you realize

there's so much more magic. There's a whole other verse for you to memorize. Yep. Also, there was a different, version of a certain song on there, I think by Smash Mouth. Accidentally in love. No, no, no. The song, I'm a believer.

Different version from the actual version of the song. I couldn't leave her if I tried. Then I saw her face. Yeah, it's, dude, it's so fucking, all the music in Trek is so good, dude. My favorite moment that still pumps me up to this day is, um, In the second one where it's like Shrek and his buddy's storming the, what's the place called? The capital. Yeah, they're storming the capital of the kingdom.

And you have the fairy godmother. What is she? Street, why Hercules, I need a hero. Who sings the original? Because it's the actual voice actress. Elton John? Let me see. I need a huge.

No, no, no, no, no. That's not Elton John. Why did I think it was Elton John? I need a hero by Bonnie Tyler. Yeah. Bonnie Tyler. But the voice actress for the fairy godmother is the one who sings the cover to it. So it has the fairy godmother.

Oh, what's her name? You know it's really weird that you brought that up because literally last night, the old G.F, the old ball and chain, she brought up that song from Shrek. Jennifer Saunders. Jennifer Saunders. Is she a singer in a band? I feel like she was somebody Is an English comedian

There's no such thing as a British comedian Actress singer, impressionist, satirist, and screenwriter Damn, that's a lot of credds Originally found attention in the 1980s When she became a member of the comic strip after graduate After becoming a member of the comic strip After graduating from the Royal Central School of Speech and Drama With her best friend and comedy partner

Don French. Now you know more about her. I'll tell you something, man. I don't want to ever hear facts about a British person again. I'm sorry. I've told you. I've told you so many times.

Don't bring them up on this podcast. All right. Okay. Yeah, sure. What about Benedict Cumberbatch? He's different. In the intimidation game. I mean, Benedict Cumberbatch is intimately.

it, Cumberbatch is intimidating. He has one of those like weird kind of alien. Dude, he played con in Star Trek, bro. Con! Oh, that's a spoiler. Dude! I was going to watch it tonight! I'm sorry to all the

Trek hit. I don't have to apologize to Star Wars fans. I just apologize to Trekkies. And Shrekies. And Shrekies. And luckily, for all of you, all the people that I'm apologizing to the Trekkies.

and the Shrekies, the, not the Star Wars people, I don't need to apologize to them. No. But they're on the list right now scrolling that you can see. And Matt, if you could please update people on what differentiates between one tier and the next. Like one has emojis in the area. Yeah, the one with emojis, those are the, those are the Trekkies. Deeply sorry to them. Yeah, very sorry to them.

The ones in green below, those are the Shrekis, hence why they're green. Sorry to those people as well. Why are we sorry to them? Huh? Why are we sorry to the Shrekis? I mean, you threw them in there, so I don't... Well, I'm sorry for not remembering. Maybe it's because you didn't care about the fairly godmother's actress,

even though she sings one of the best renditions of hero, magical. Nope. No, no, not doing it. So, yeah, Shrekies and Trekkies, sorry, I guess. I guess kind of takes away that I'm sorry. Well, I... You have to be pretty fervent in you. your in your apology.

I'm very sorry. Is that good? Yeah. Yeah. I'm very sorry. I'm very, very sorry. Yeah, that sounds perfect. Sounds very genuine.

Genuine. You swine. And I ain't lying. I could sip some brine. Pickle juice. Brian? You could sip some Brian? Ninja Brian.

He has a wife and a daughter, you fuck.
