This podcast is brought to you by Aura. Imagine waking up to find your bank account drained, bills for loans you never took out, a warrant for your arrest, all because someone committed a crime in your name. It sounds like a nightmare, but for millions of people each year, it's reality. And here's the scariest part.

By the time companies tell you your data was stolen, it's already been nearly a year. 277 days. That's how long, on average, hackers have to use your social security number, open accounts, take out loans, and destroy your credit. Before you even know, you've been exposed. By the time you get that breach notification email, the damage is done. Your identity stolen, your financial future at risk, and the company that lost your data, they'll just apologize and move on. Hackers aren't waiting. Why are you?

This can all sound really scary, which is why I'm so glad we're partnering with Aura. Hackers don't wait, so why should you? Aura monitors the dark web 24-7 for your phone number, email, and social security number. Because the moment they show up for sale, criminals are ready to use them. If Aura detects your info, you'll get an instant alert, so you can act before the damage is done. What if your identity is already stolen? Criminals can take out loans, max out credit cards, and vanish. That's why Aura provides up to $5 million

in identity theft insurance, and a US-based fraud resolution team that works around the clock to shut down fraud fast and get your life back on track. Your personal data is a gold mine for hackers, and Aura helps lock it down.

The podcast is just a descriptor, right? Although it does Super the super mega show. Maybe it just the super mega podcast. Why didn't we do that?

Cuz we're I feel like we did toss that idea. What about the super mega podcast and it's like has to We could change it. We're not at episode 100 yet Welcome to the super mega podcast a new logo and everything. Yeah. So, I mean, so, sorry Luke, you can cut some of my stammering out, but for SuperMega Cast, if you remember, we always- The fishing podcast we used to do. Right. We would start almost every episode with like, welcome to the SuperMega podcast, SuperMega cast, or welcome to the SuperMega cast, or SuperMega cast. We switched it up. Yeah.

So it's like, dude, it's our show, man. Who gives a flying F about the rules? We not only make the rules, we fail to enforce them. Pfft. We not only set our upload schedule, but we failed to enforce it. Guys, that's what being self-employed at 29 and 30 looks like. I do, you know, there's no seg, I'm not gonna think of a fun little segway. You just got me interested.

Before we started recording the podcast, you were talking about, we were talking about something and you're like, oh, I'm gonna save it for the podcast. Oh, the lottery thing? Yeah, so to tee it up, in a mail opening video, which some of you might know we do from time to time on the channel. I feel like this is the second one we did, which might not be out yet.

I don't think it's out yet, but it should be, by the time this episode comes out, it should be close to being. And it was during the recording of a mail episode, we got a bunch of lottery tickets. A lot of lottery tickets. I just, I assumed that they were all just kind of like, this is from someone who's an addict

that just still has all of their just bulk and they just sent it because they, it's like they can't throw it away because they feel like they'd be, they're hoarders or something. Right, right, it's like the sentimental value value like the lottery tickets won't love them anymore if they throw them in the trash. Yeah, it's like if I give it to the youtubers. But Matt did some inspector gadget inspecting. Right. With his gadget. Come on, man.

Don't bring that up. Okay. I actually These are these were Powerball tickets just to clarify so, so you might be like, used lottery tickets. Not the Mega Millions. No, these aren't the scratch-offs. Although Powerball is the, like, one of the biggest. There were some Mega Millions. It was a mix, okay? But it's the type where it's like, you pick the numbers

and you print it out and then you have to sit down in your recliner that night in front of the television set and you got the sexy ass babe fucking taking the little ping pong balls out of the little thing where they spin. Anyway, it was a thick stack of lottery tickets and I was like, what if as a prank, you know, we had a viewer who won the lottery

and just was like, you know what? I'm gonna give it to them. They need more. I have enough. I'm gonna bless them with it. Because sometimes the power ball can get up to like 200 something million and that's before taxes, of course. No, you've seen how big it's gotten bigger than that. It's like 300 million. Bigger. It hasn't ever gotten to a billion, has it. I'm pretty sure it was at like 1.5 billion at one point Lord, or it crossed a billion at one point Yeah, hold on clock. Wipe because I I need all these social programs. I need to double check that Clock like wipe back back in um the highest powerball the highest jackpot ever

$2 billion The highest jackpot ever, $2 billion. Is the name recorded or did they decide that they were going to keep themselves private? This was in the 90s. This was uh... Oh my god! This was April 19th, 1992. The odds of winning that jackpot were 292.2 million to one. It might be stupid because, you know, a billion's such a big number, maybe the differential isn't that big, but would that be the same thing

as like three billion today? Like, of course it's worth more in the 90s than it is today. Yeah, dude. But like, what would be the equivalent of like, what was two billion dollars worth in the 90s at that time, like, compared to today? Let's see, let's see, let's see. Just interested, I just, you know, I'm curious.

I'm like George in that way, the monkey. You're much like George in that way. You're a very curious little monkey. And you're like the man in the yellow hat. I always thought I was the man in the yellow suit. It's yellow hat though. Does he go to the jungle and steal George? I thought George, I thought he just found him in the yellow suit. It's yellow hat though. Does he go to the jungle and steal George? I thought George, I thought he just found him in the zoo and like George was in the

zoo and was like I like this guy and then just started walking around with him. Or did he steal a baby monkey? I really don't know the lore of Curious George. For some reason- There was a Will Ferrell movie that I haven't seen that I heard was good. So we should- Does Will Ferrell play Curious George? Oh my God, sorry, I had a that's so Raven moment because I remember thinking of a movie to do an Uncle Sleepover for and I was like, I really wanna do that.

And it's gone from my memory completely. Cool, well, damn it. I should write these stuff. I always go, I'll remember it, I'll remember it. You have a notes app. I know, it's always like, you never. It's before bed. I'm like, I'll remember it, I'll remember it. You have a notes app. I know, it's always like, It's before bed. It's before bed, and I'm like, I'll remember it.

You never remember when you say you're gonna remember it. Not you, in specific. Oh, I remembered it. What, you did? What is it? Okay, it's always a surprise. Well, this one doesn't have to be a surprise. Have you ever seen the movie Disturbia with Shia LaBeouf?

No. Okay, well, I wanna watch that at some point on Uncle Sleepover. Okay. I'm super down. some point on Uncle Sleepover. Okay. I'm super down. It's a fun romp. But basically, to answer your question. These guys aren't crack, what the fuck are they talking about?

Just, with the lottery story, what happened to the lottery ticket thing? You didn't finish it. Two billion in 1992 adjusted for inflation is 4.45 billion. Ooh, I was gonna guess for it, but I was like, you know. Double. I still like in my head I'm like a billion is so big. It is.

Is the, would the difference, you know what I mean, like be that noticeable. Well I did actually. But it's that noticeable. While I was looking up the inflation rate, I did, I clicked on an article About it about the the big the big winner because there was one Hold on it's trying to give me a login in this bullshit website

US lottery winner of two billion dollars loses entire Los Angeles mansion in devastating wildfires Never mind nothing to laugh at there. Nope. But there is like a curse with the lottery. But if it was like, you know, like he lit a fart on fire and burned down his house, that would have been a funny story, a billionaire does that. That would be hilarious.

I'm just, you know, it's just unfortunate that he was a victim of the LA fires. Yeah, it's all- Well, he wasn't a victim. Well, he is a victim- Well, yes, yeah, I mean- But he wasn't consumed by the fires himself. True.

Maybe he was consumed by the fires of rage within him when he found out that his house was burned down, but- Yeah, I mean, it would probably be a shot of his face up close and in his eyes you would see the flames. Wait. He would be a shot of his face up close and in his eyes you would see the flames wait I never thought of it before but Have you ever thought of like if he got so angry and turned into some sort of creature with giant who the billion-dollar winner

Let's just say like if during the California fires if a hulk for for example Were to run through the California fires with that would it then be endowed with elemental fire damage? Yeah, most likely. So a fire Hulk? It's possible. You know, I don't... That's probably why they spread so quickly, the fires. Oh, they spread fast. They always say it's the wind, but...

The wind is gay, dude. The weatherman be like. but the wind is gay dude. The weatherman be like. And the wind today is looking pretty gay. I don't know what he means by that Cheryl. Is it going to be a good day? I wish he'd stop goofing around this is serious stuff. I'm just playing it's looking like severe thunderstorms.

Alright. And softball size hail. But the lottery tickets. Let's get back to that. A big stack of lottery tickets. Are you sure we can talk about Breaking Bad or a video game we wanna make? Ooh, let's talk about Breaking Bad. Lottery tickets.

I- You went through each one. I manually went- One by one. Yes, I brought that stack of lottery tickets home. Like how the ants come marching. They do, they do, one by one. Now you got me thinking of Donald Trump saying that in like a State of the Union speech. The ants come marching one by one.

Hoorah! All the Republicans standing up like cheering. Hoorah! Hoorah! I mean, we're not far from that. No, that's great. Lottery tickets. Lottery tickets, guys. And no, we do not do cocaine as some of you have speculated

We just genuinely enjoy each other's company and we're drinking caffeine Cocaine is bad for you. Don't do it unless a really cool person offers it like Jay-Z Yes, and maybe not Jay-Z actually he's a billionaire which means he has good cocaine not Jay-Z maybe like Chris Pratt Chris Brown? Well, Chris Pratt's pretty rich so he would get good cocaine, he wouldn't get the shitty cut with baking soda. The lottery tickets, I went through each one, one by one, manually. This was a lot of lottery tickets.

I hope that the viewer that sent those in to our PO box is watching so they can be giddy with glee at this story. It was a real pain in the ass because it was for three separate states. There was Colorado, there was Idaho, and then there was Wyoming. So I had to download three separate lottery apps for these different states. Well did they cross state lines?

No, each state has a different lottery. No, I know, I get that, but like, this one person, do they have like a Discord set up with like lottery, be like, everyone send in your tickets! Sorry, it was four states, Montana as well. Oh my god, okay. I mean, why so spread out? It's not that spread out, those states are all right

next to each other. Yeah, but like for one person, like I guess guess they might travel like they might do some driving or something for their job They might do something where they travel kind of locally but more throughout like the four-state quadrant It could be honestly like that could be a fucking multi-state serial killer and they're like, I'm obviously be so funny I'm gonna send all my evidence out on the podcast Yeah, like is that is that the end of this story? We're just figured out that it's a serial killer and they're like, this will be so funny, I'm gonna send all my evidence. You figured it out on the podcast. Yeah. Why is that, is that the end of the story?

You figured out that it's a serial killer? I'm just gonna get contacted by the FBI, like we need those tickets. And I waited to turn them in live on the podcast. FBI agent walks in. Here you go. But, no, but I went through all of them. I wanna know your findings.

One by one, it was a big pain in the ass, I had to type the numbers in individually for each ticket. Seems like you're stalling. Are there any findings? There was one. There's one ticket amongst the batch, and I believe it was an Idaho ticket, okay? Most of the tickets were Colorado,

but there were a few Idaho. There's an Idaho ticket that I checked online. And you know what it said? It said, unlike all the other ones, it said this one might be a grand winner. Contact state, local, whatever to see. And I have not contacted them. Really? Mm-hmm. I set it aside. For us to do on the on the podcast? Maybe. I don't have it with me today. What? You decided to tell the story now? Yeah, I didn't, I

didn't know I was gonna tell the story. But uh. So it could be a grand winner? Dude. But don't you have a specific time of when you can. No you can claim it up to a certain period, but these. Where, how long are these, how old are these? They were all from within the last like four years. Could be past the day. If I'm not mistaken this was 2021.

The one that. How long, I thought it was like a year or like some months where it's like you have the amount, like it might be passed. I'm also- And did we get these in 2021? Like did we receive this package and we just didn't open it up? It's one of those packages

or did it just recently get sent? I don't know. Also, I'm never ever in my life trusting Chachibit again because some of them, basically for the mega, one of the Colorado ones, or no sorry, one of the Montana ones, they only announce for a year.

So I asked, I'm like, from this year, was this a winner? And Chachapiti said, yes, this exact ticket was the grand prize winner of however many hundred million dollars. And I was like, sitting there and like, actually in shock for a second. And I was like, looking at the ticket,

and I'm like, this has gotta be some kind of prank. And I found the Montana Lottery's website, no. And I said to chat GPT, I said, why did you lie to me? But this Idaho one. Idaho one might be a winner. We're gonna have to find out. I set it aside, like I said. You said it could be a grand prize winner.

Yeah, which is weird because all the other ones automatically said no. How long, I'm gonna be like... How long... Is my penis. Do lottery tickets. Idaho. Like, how long do you have to claim the prize? Right? 180 days

Lottery players have 180 days from the draw date for all draw games and 180 days from the official end of the game for Scratch games to claim their prize Well, I don't even want to like double-check now Because if I do find out even if it's like not a grand prize winner, even if it's for like a thousand dollars, I mean, that's still, you know, it's good money. So it's like, yeah, I would love to have that. Just another PlayStation 5. I know. Or tune into no switch twos, which

let's talk to the bad ad readers. This podcast is brought to you by Aura. By the time you hear about a data breach, your information has already been exposed for months. On average, companies take 277 days to report a breach. That's nine months where hackers have access to your personal data, your name, address, phone number, even your social security number, before you even know it's out there. Think about it. Nine months is enough time for criminals to open accounts in your name, rack up debt, and disappear.

All while you're left dealing with the mess. And when the company finally tells you, it's too late. The damage is already done. Data breaches aren't slowing down. They're getting bigger. And the delays in reporting them aren't helping. Right now, your personal information could already be on the dark web

and you wouldn't even know it. How long do you want to wait before taking action? That's why we're thrilled to partner with Aura.

Ah! ["Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy"] Ah! Welcome back, if we had ads. If we had ads, we'll see. We have not renewed our contract, just saying. The Nintendo Switch 2 was just announced at a Nintendo Direct, and Matt and I are big Nintendo heads. We're big Ninten-Dogogs bro. Yeah. D-A-W-G-S. We both did play nintendogs on the Nintendo DS when it came out at the time and tried to play it for the channel.

Which we failed because we needed a microphone. Yeah, the voice recognition. We had a microphone but it just wasn't working. We just didn't know how to hook it up to the fucking... Yeah, like, it was recognizing it but it wasn't working like correctly. Regardless, new Nintendo Direct and might I say, they got my jimmies wet and wild. Russell? Oh my god. Did they Russell your jimmies? Oh yeah. Hey, I have seen nothing from this Nintendo Direct.

By the way. What? You know me, I'm a big Nintendo fan boy. I've seen absolutely nothing from this Nintendo Direct. See, this is where it would be great to where if we had that monitor up there, I could be like, let's look it up real quick. And then we watch it, Luke would put it in the corner. You know the thing that we said we'd do

in the first episode and haven't done? Since the first episode? We did it in the first episode. Show it, like Luke, just put a screenshot from that. The video watchers can see. You can even just press print screen, paste it into Photoshop if you want, even or Luke actually alternatively just print it out on a piece of paper and then scan it and then go ahead and show that screenshot

there's no way he's doing that he it's on screen right now it is anyway I know nothing Jon Snow about the Nintendo Switch 2 or anything from the Direct. For me there's... So you got to beat the bear of good news. Well I woke up to a slew of texts from friends being like, have you seen this, have you seen that, have you seen this? I got none. Get some friends buddy. I had one DM from the Austin Powers impersonator. It wasn't about the Nintendo Direct. No, it was not about the Nintendo Direct.

Did you see the new Donkey Kong? No, it wasn't. Well, for me, a lot was announced. They did announce a Kirby Air Ride sequel, Air Rider sequel. Okay. That's a fun game. FromSoft is doing a Nintendo Switch 2 exclusive. Really?

Where it's like a, I'm not too excited about it right now. I wanna look, I wanna see more about it. It's a PvPvE game. Okay. You know? Interesting. It's like kind of vampire-esque. It kind of looks similar to the style of Bloodborne, in a way, in terms of art style.

But, you know, I'm not like too... But the two big things that I'm super excited about from this, and we can... I can try to go through a list and we can see, because there's a bunch of other stuff, is finally, after so long, I want to say it's been over a decade at this point, we finally have a mainline Donkey Kong game, and not just that, it's a 3D Donkey Kong game. What was the last one? Tropical Freeze? I want to say it was Tropical Freeze. I think, well, was that like 2013?

I don't count the like Donkey Kong Country Return Remastered or whatever. No, no, no, no. It's like, but I think Tropical Freeze was the most recent, because that was for the Wii U. And it was really good. I never played it. It's the's the bomb calm my brother really oh yeah Nintendo secured that mm-hmm that's an expensive domain name I know it's crazy but I all I saw was the thumbnail for this for the announcement of that and I

saw that the it's the new Donkey Kong design he's wearing like overalls kind of eyes are different. I hope that like Mario Odyssey, you can put on different outfits hopefully and they have like, maybe if you collect all of the banana collectibles, you unlock classic DK. Like if they need to throw in the classic DK style as like a homage or something.

So it's not like a platformer in the sense of Donkey Kong Country, it's like a 3D platformer like DK64? Kind of, or like Odyssey. It looks like there's a lot of destructible environments, the main thing you're doing a lot of the time. It looks like you're punching and ripping shit from the ground to do stuff.

I'll have to play that. It looks like there are side scrolling levels to kind of like hearken back to the good old days and you know they have references like mine carts and stuff. I'll be interested to see how big the game ends up being or if it's more of just kind of like here's something to shut you guys up here's a quick little Donkey Kong game. I think it's gonna be worth $80 because all these games now are gonna be worth $80. That is nuts. And the Nintendo Switch could be $500. But the second game that's super exciting... Hold on.

... Sorry, I had so many bubbles in my stomach, Matthew. I had so many bubbles. Are they all gone? I think so. Well, sorry, the second thing that was... What was... Oh my god. Sway for the Switch?

Oh, yes! Was the fucking Mario Kart world, which is the one that I'm probably tied with excitement, if not a little more excited than the Donkey Kong game. So a new Mario Kart game. Yes. Finally. And it looks amazing. There's different outfits for characters. Yes, dude. I've been waiting for it. It's like more customization. But from what it looks like, I don't know yet.

Hopefully they allow you to choose the outfits in races, like before the race starts. But from, I only saw a snippet of gameplay, but from the gameplay it looked like you pick up the outfits on the track. Interesting. Yeah, I don't know. So maybe, but the thing is it kind of works where all these tracks are in a way connected

so you can like go and drive around the world quote unquote in a sense. So I'm wondering if there are collectibles like outfits in the world you can pick up to then customize yourself in the big races and all that. That's interesting. There's boats and shit too. Boats?

Yeah. You know, it's the same thing. I knew they would add interesting. There's boats and shit, dude. Boats? Yeah. You know, it's the same thing. I knew they would add boats, dude. It looks so pretty, dude. I swear that in a Mario Kart Let's Play we did, we've talked about it, it's like, oh, they have to add boats. It's the next logical thing.

Because Diddy Kong Racing had kind of boats. They had like the fan boats, whatever those are called. The like Florida Gator boats. Dude, I love those, that type of boat. I think we're gonna get to have it in Grand Theft Auto which is apparently still releasing this year at some point their marketing I thought it said 2026 their marketing guy did a no no they they were adamant no we still plan for a 2025 end of year release or whatever and if they if they doubled down on that then that means they must be pretty confident.

Well, their marketing guy, they did, a marketing guy or director, someone that is with the game did an interview and he was kinda like, he's a little smug, he's like, you know, we're, we found that if we save all of our marketing for closer to release, it ends up, you know, paying off well or something like that

So it's like oh, so you're really just gonna do like a hard drop of like in a month It's coming out type of thing. I like that next week. I'm excited because we all know it's coming out, but While it's exciting for the consumer I imagine all the other game studios that have big releases that are coming out this year that are just like fuck They probably know They know but like when they coming out, year that are just like, fuck. They probably know. They know, but like, they. When it's coming out. But they don't have as much,

Rockstar has a big dick to swing around the place. A big old dick. And not feel too bad about it. All these other game studios, while they do have a massive audience and they are successful, they still need to watch out for Rockstar walking into the locker room.

I was about to say, it's like a locker room and you've got these other studios and you know, like they're, they've got sizable penises. They have average penises. It's like they're nice penises. Right. And you know, some of them probably even kind of just slap it around a little before they enter the locker room so it looks bigger soft. But when Rockstar walks in, is he hard?

No, no, not. Are you sure? What, that's soft? Dude, there's no way. He's like soft, he's like baby soft. He's baby soft. That's right. Not sure we should.

No. Not sure we can. No, I didn't. You know, it's soft. I mean, let that make the point. And Rockstar's words, not ours. I mean let that make the point. Rockstar's words, not ours. So...

Uh... I like it as soon as like, we were like, wait we can't... We both had the realization at the same time. We can't use that, what is it, an idiom? We can't use that fucking saying whatever. Uh, but basically like... Uh... I do like rollouts that, um...

I thought about this. I like rollouts that are concentrated because when you announce something um like Vietnam yeah You know I liked Vietnam was something that you know they announced way in advance And you know the hype kind of died down, but like Iraqi freedom for example that was like The American people didn't know until George Bush went on TV and the bombs were already dropping he's like as as I speak

we're blowing them up are they the ones that attacked us no but yes they gave us a reason to like Bush like looking over to the side like right we won that famous oh the we won speech on the on the boat. Yeah. Victory. Oh, love it. I mean, it was a victory. Iraqi freedom. They've never been more free. Same with Afghanistan. But anyway, talk about the rollout of. Yeah. Um, I personally have have come to realize that I like, uh, concentrated rollouts a lot more because if you announce something

very far in advance, I'll get excited about, put that leg down, I'll get excited but you get used to the, it's been announced, it's so far away. However- You can store it in a chest in your mind. Right. And then later you're like, oh yeah, I remember that. However, a good example of this type of rollout is Tyler the Creator. Let a white boy speak on Tyler the Creator for a second.

Let's make some space for a white boy talking about Tyler the Creator. I think we can all do this. If I still had blonde hair, he might have gay sex with me. Yeah. You know? So I think I can speak on this. His rollouts for his albums, at least the last two, like it was, you know, everyone's like, when's Tyler gonna make a new album?

And then all of a sudden there's just like these like mystery billboards that go up and little clips on YouTube. Yeah. And within a week it's out. So it's like the hype builds really fast. And then by the time the album drops the hype is still huge So I really like that type of rollout and I guess that's probably what rockstar is kind of trying to go for too Oh, yeah, I mean they've already announced it but it's like well, I remember there was um, it kind of goes back to I mean it You know think what you want about it, but Bethesda back in the day, after Fallout 3's success and Fallout New Vegas, that was a different studio. But after Fallout 3, they announced Fallout 4 at E3.

And they were like, it's coming this November. And people were like, it's three, four months away? That's insane. And that built a lot of hype. And unfortunately, that game did not turn out to be great. I have a lot more faith. Did it come out that November though? Mm-hmm. Oh, okay.

I have a lot more faith in Rockstar to deliver on their promises, because I don't think I have played a game where I have been disappointed. I have played like Grand Theft Auto V, I haven't been into it as much as like I was into Grand Theft Auto IV, or Red Dead Redemption 2, or much less the last Red Dead,

but Rockstar never misses, or hasn't missed in quite a while. That's right. So I'm excited. And if there's co-op, you and I could play together. Dude, I- I could be your juicy little Latina bae. We could rob stores together. Are you calling that character already?

I mean, we can talk about this. We can write up a contract, maybe. OK. Discuss like co-operatively. Have the lawyer play it. I mean, we still don't know. We don't even know if we can cooperatively play together. I would only assume that it would be actually pretty cool

if you could co-operatively play it. Because it's the whole dynamic of a duo bank robbing, the Bonnie and Clyde. I couldn't picture a more perfect- However, when people traditionally think of super mega, you know, am I gonna be like the macho dude, or am I gonna be the Latina babe? Sorry.

You're probably gonna be the juicy- Latinx. Latinx. Babe. Babe. That's right. And I'll be the scruffy, white gator man with the backwards hat. Yeah you will.

I'll be, I'll be, I don't know. I'll be zad, I'll be gator zaddy dude. Dude I haven't thought of the word zaddy in like- What is the Z for? There was just that period where like- Every's just there was these like members Z OMG no what yeah oh yes yes it was like Invader Zim type bullshit like like the good show well like the the girl on it's good show I'm not saying anything about the show but I'm saying like the the one girl that would you know be in

your in your grade that would have like the Inv one girl that would you know be in your in your grade That would have like the invaders in hoodie that she never washes She'd always have the grew hoodie up and maybe do the grew voice. Well, what's his name? Is that the dog the robot? What's the robots name? I thought you're making a minions reference here No, what's the little I don't know why I call them that. I know Zim, what's Zim's sidekick's name? Dog, I think, but yeah, that'd be the type that would use. Gurr, I like that. You can see where Gru came into play in my brain.

Of course, swap the letters. It was a humble accident. And it's Shanhapp again. Not a brash accident. No. You didn't do it with brashness. I needn't do it with brash accident. No. Humble. You didn't do it with brashness. I needn't do it with brashness. Where do we fucking go wrong with the English language?

Because it used to be fun. That was awesome. Like talking was a game in of itself. It's like to try to communicate with someone. You're like, you're standing there listening to them talk. And you're just like smiling. I think I know. Does now want to go out?

It's like, fuck, fuck. It's like you're always, you're ping ponging, trying to figure out how to end a sentence. I think he just brought his wife up, I'm not sure. I mean, granted, maybe back in the day, you know, they were used to that jargon. Wouldn't make sense to us. Apparently, we'd be going, what are you talking about?

I'd say, um, in English please. I actually, well Shakespeare, they didn't talk like that. Apparently. That was just how he decided to write. They actually talked, the historians say in guttural noises. Like grunts. They mostly used the back of their throats to enunciate things. Yeah, a lot of glottal stops, a lot of, a lot of that. It was, but you know, history was written by the victors.

Right. And Shakespeare, being one of those, well, he's William, but Bill, he just wrote, my friends call... Bill. He just wrote... My friends call me Bill. He just wrote Silly. So they didn't speak like that. However, they did speak differently.

Like, we would... If you and I Bill and Tedded that shit and went back to like the 1600s, we'd be like, what the fuck is anyone saying? If you and I were to bill and ted something, how, in what places in time could we go to where we could kind of guarantee, like what are the safest points in history? Luckily for us.

Guarantee our safety or guarantee like that we could understand what they're saying? Safety. Oh. Safety first. Where we won't be burned at the stake for being witches or something. I will say there is a large stint of,

at least in the United States, that we have to work with. Yes. Whites had a, you know. They had a golden era. There was a, I think that's like my favorite part about Men in Black 3 is that when they go back in time, Will Smith has to deal with like all the like racism that's going on.

I saw that movie at a movie theater on Marco Island, Florida, fun fact. Rubio has an island? I don't think that there's honestly too many times where we could go back and be safe, besides the last 200 years. I mean, we could go. It's not safe for us white men now, but.

I know. If we could go back maybe to's not safe for us white men now But I know you know if we could go back maybe to you know not with this lame stream media woke mind virus Even if we went back to like cuz I'm thinking like oh we go back to prehistoric time like we wouldn't be able to breathe and Also, we would guess we'd be running from dinosaurs so fast We'd be scared out of our wits. Honestly though, okay, so we wouldn't have been able to breathe, I'm pretty sure, because the oxygen levels were so different. That's why everything was so big.

But if we went back then, we'd be gasping for breath. There's other periods where it's like so much CO2. Does that... Wait. Does it not mean that there would be more oxygen in the air for us to be able to breathe? It does mean there would be more oxygen, but that's not, you know when you hyperventilate, pass out. It's too much oxygen. Also like 79% of the air we breathe is nitrogen.

Do you know that? It's not even oxygen. I don't know where this fucking lie came from. But we're producing carbon monoxide, no, carbon dioxide. Yeah, we just, we convert the oxygen into carbon dioxide. But it's mostly, we mostly breathe nitrogen. And we produce methane. We do. Your body produces a lot of fucking Okay Martin, let's try one. Remember, big. You got it. The Ford It's a Big Deal event is on.

This is Joe from Pass Gas Podcast by Donut Media. We're an automotive history podcast,

but you don't have to be a car person to enjoy our show. We tell the craziest stories, like the first race across America. It was basically 45 days of hell, or how the humble caravan saved Dodge and allowed them to make the Viper. We've been doing this podcast for over five years now, and there are still so many crazy stories, it amazes me.

It's basically like hanging out in the garage, chopping it up with your friends, hanging out, good vibes. So check out Pascass wherever you get your podcasts. ["Pascass's Theme"] Does your body produce propane to any degree? If you have the valve, if you have it to the left for loose, if it's right for tight, then nothing's going to be coming out.

Okay, I'll look into that. But if we went back to, let's just say theoretically, you and I could breathe large amounts of oxygen and be all right. We had time travel suits. Okay, yeah, we have time travel suits. Drop you and I into the middle of, I don't know, anywhere, okay? And 60 million years ago. Like, how long do you give us? I'm dying first. Well, actually, I don't know. It depends on like, what, because everything, like there's so much out there that's like, just the moment it sees us it's like, food.

Like we're done. Like a T-Rex that, I'd be struck with fear. I wouldn't be able to run from anything. I'd just probably be like, I'm dead, I'm dying. Would a T-Rex go after us, you think? Probably. Or do you think that's more of like a movie thing and if it saw us, it would just be like, I'm not gonna bother with that, that's not my typical diet. Hmm. Like I wonder. I guess we've never

sent humans back in time that we know of. That we know of. I just want to say that. Doge hasn't uncovered it yet but they promise they're gonna uncover the time travel secrets of the United States government. We've sent little X back 60 million years. It's gonna bring back the secrets. Honestly, I don't think we'd last too long. Like, I mean food is one thing. We'd have to figure that out. Also, like, almost everything, like all the animals would be different and all the plants would be different. I guess we're going there as tourists then. Would we still be able to have a good time for a couple hours like we just sure go there for like two hours I still think would you

go to the dinosaur time no here's the thing legitimately if you if you were offered and and it was just like okay your safety is not guaranteed but and this isn't like a they're gonna steal my kid no type of no this is real this is real it's like real sci-fi shit. Real real life shit. If they said Ryan we can send you and a friend of Mr. Ryan. Mr. Ryan? Yes. We can send you and a friend of your choosing back 60 million years I'm sorry 60 million years the asteroid already hit. Let's go back like a hundred million years. Okay. A hundred million years.

Right on. And you can take a friend of your choosing for two hours Albert Einstein We can pick him up on the way to the dinosaurs. It doesn't work that way. It's like a direct like time Like been time just straight to the past. It doesn't go it doesn't just go through Albert Einstein's time. Well, we could it doesn't just go through Albert Einstein's time. Well, we could project it so through that loop, we go through the Albert Einstein area to the dinosaurs. Turns out Albert Einstein was just some Indian kid and pulling him through that just drastically altered

his DNA and made him this super genius white guy. Anyway, for two hours, no safety guarantee. They drop you and it's like going on a hike. They'll give you a weapon. Not that it'll do much maybe, but. I get bear spray. You get bear spray, okay. Yeah.

I'm pretty sure back then like the closest thing to bears were probably like three times the size. You know? Like and could run like three times faster. Have you seen- It'd be a big can of bear spray. Have you seen, there's videos of bears charging through bullets essentially.

Oh yeah, if an animal's big enough, you know the bullets not gonna do much unless you have it up at the Smithsonian. That's in DC. It's the the La Brea Tar Pit Museum. I still have not been to the La Brea Tar Pits and I've lived in LA for almost a decade. Maybe we can take a little trip, bring some cameras. To throw in the tar? No, to film a vlog or something. That, I would love to take a day

to go to the Labrador Tar Pits and like film a vlog. That's the closest thing to going back 100 million years. You know, my mom saw Jeffrey Tambor there. You know, my mom saw Jeffrey Dahmer on. You know, my mom saw Jeffrey Dahmer on the television in the 90s. Really? Mm-hmm. That's very fascinating.

Would you go back though, for two hours? To the 90s? No, 100 million years ago. Like, you get that chance, your safety is not guaranteed. I think I'd chicken out. Like, I don't, like, I just, one hour. And I got to go with you? If that's the friend of your choosing, I'm just saying.

I mean, it's a sweepstakes, you could choose any friend you want, but... I would. It'd be hard not to, because it's like... Well, at this... What an experience. What an experience, but also, we don't need to get into the whole intricacies of it, right?

I don't need to be thinking, oh, if this exists in this time, then it's not this rare thing. Then a lot of people have done it, so it's not this big thing. In this world, we're just going straight off. This would be like I'm the only person that gets to do this essentially. And a friend of your choosing. And a friend of my choosing, of course. I don't want to forget about them. It's not like scientists are going there all the time.

This is the one and only time that it gets to happen and they go you know, we ran a lottery system and Yeah, full circle Ryan McGee. Mr. Ryan McGee from California and he gets to bring one friend of his choosing and You guys get suits so you can Breathe and also you get guns breathe and also you get guns. Bear spray? Okay, bear spray, you get bear spray. I think a gun would be more useful.

I mean. I don't know, you could probably spray a fucking pterodactyl with it. Like if that shit gets in the eyes of something, they're gonna be furious. They can't see even, they're gonna. It's not just bears that it affects. Like you could, a velociraptor is running at you spray

It's gonna fucking hurt. You know I mean maybe a bullet like the sound would make them they'd run They would run sound and the stinging would be like something bit me honestly I Think like a shotgun would be pretty good because even though close range. You know I might not Have enough time to defend yourself Firing a shotgun off would make them scram. How about this, you get the shotgun, I'll get like the SMG with a backpack full of magazines so I can spray. Okay. I go, AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH you know, if I get scared, and you line up a really good headshot.

I know, I'll just shoot it up in the air to try to scare them off. Well, I think that we're talking about dinosaurs, buddy. These are creatures- I only get two shots before I have to'll just shoot it up in the air to try scare them off well I think we're talking about dinosaurs buddy these are these are creatures shots before I have to fucking manually reload our dodo birds dinosaurs well there might be dodo birds there might be dope no I don't think don't now would you stay a full day if you got to choose where you get to go back like in time like would I stay what do you mean no okay, so it's one hour dropped in a random spot, picked out of maybe like 10 different places. None of them are necessarily safer than the other.

Or you can pick a spot of your choosing on earth and stay for 24 hours with a friend of your choosing. Any time, any place on earth for 24 hours with a friend of your choosing anytime any place on earth for 24 hours no it's still a hundred million years ago and it's and you can't pick like go the North Pole it's like there has to be some level of danger I wouldn't stay 24 hours back in the no way no way no how an hour yes 24 hours we die. 24 hours, we'd die. There's no way we'd survive. Everything wants to kill us. No, we climb a tree.

Dude, the bugs are like the size of our legs. Brother, Katniss survived how long in the Hunger Games? Like, uh, three days? Yeah. How much more is three days than one? Yeah, but there were no dinosaurs in the Hunger Games. Yeah, how much more is three days than one? Yeah, but there were no dinosaurs in the Hunger Games They're down now in the third book there were these lizard human hybrid things in the sewers

That can that's right. Honestly when I was reading the third book I feel like she lost me completely a little bit She didn't know how to accurately describe the things that she wanted to portray and it just felt like a bunch of throw-up like the third book literally was just like reading like I Don't know I had no I couldn't visualize what was going on too Well, the third book supposed to be like about like Civil War Revolution, you know overthrowing the you know bourgeoisie and sometimes you have to sneak through the sewers and fight the white lizard right

It's kind of like she was like, you know, I could could just you know make this kind of run-of-the-mill you know like revolution stuff, but You know I really want to put these white lizard people in somewhere And I didn't get a chance to do it yet, so I think they're like I think they're probably like Their hybrids built by the capital yeah, of course protect the With just like how in the first hunger games Games, the dog hybrid creature things are actually used from the past tributes. It shows that even after death,

they don't actually get to die. They're still used by the capital, blah-dee-blah. I still thought a lot of it was goofy in the third book when I was reading it at the time in high school. I didn't read the third book. I loved one and two. Me too. And then the third one came, I was like, eh.

The third movie, I think it's got some, I rewatched all of them within the last year or two and it's like, they're good, they're fun. The first Hunger Games movie though, I will say the camera work is horrible. It's so bad It's uh, it's like everything is zoomed in and just like it's like they're just trying to shake it as much as they can Because I feel like that's definitely the director. I don't particularly like I think his name is Gary Ross as a director He did Seabiscuit starring Tobey Maguire That was his that was his defining movie before the studio decided to give him the start

You know a lot of people, you know, they got Christopher Columbus to lead a children's franchise because he did Home Alone. Yeah. Again, that is the director of Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone, Home Alone. Not to be conf... Okay, no, you're... Chris Columbus. Chris Columbus.

Not Christopher. His full name is Christopher. Full name is Christopher Columbus But am I wrong here when you say Christopher Columbus led a group of children? I'm giving him the respect him. I'm saying his full name. Okay, like William right? Will I am will I am took me a very long time to realize I'm like, oh, it's William and it's will I am Continue what was I saying? What were we talking about? Gary Ross.

Oh, Gary, I think his name's Gary Ross, but yeah, I don't like, it's just a lot of shaky handhold, kind of a faux Paul Greengrass, Paul Greengrass being the one to direct the Bourne series as well as... Captain Phillips. Yes.

And United 93. Yes, and... Most recently, that one I didn't watch. Captain Phillips. Yes, and United 93. Yes, and most recently That one I didn't watch He'd be I Looked this up when I was in Korea Actually, I was looking up Paul Greengrass movies when I was in Seoul because I was contemplating watching United 93

In the hotel room. I didn't, unfortunately. I don't wanna spoil the ending, but it's good. It is, yeah. Oh, my girlfriend hadn't seen it. She didn't know what United 93 was. And she's like, I told her. There are 93 people on this plane? Well, I told her about the premise.

And she really wanted to watch it. And we were flying back home the next day. And I was like, I'm gonna be real, I don't think you're gonna have a good time if we watch United 93 the night before we have to take a 11 hour flight. And? We didn't watch it.

Oh, okay. But yeah, it's like the whole movie, not United 93, but Hunger Games, the first one, it's like he didn't realize that he could, it's like the camera when he turned it on was already like zoomed in and he didn't realize that they're using it feels like they're using a telephoto lens for every shot even that just even conversational you don't in the first and it's not intentional because a lot of people will say that it's to promote that this claustrophobic anxiety feeling of like you're never getting a chance to breathe

because everything's so close up, blah, blah, blah, blah. He's like doing an interview like, yeah. I think it's sloppy and I think it's kind of like a cheap way to try to attribute style to the film. You also don't have to really frame a full shot as much as you would have to if you zoom in. Dude, I know about you. Not calling him lazy, I'm just saying.

Dude, throughout the first movie, like watching it, like I just get this feeling of like, like this, just this kind of, um, I get frustrated because I'm just, I'm like cut to a wide, cut to a wide, cut to a wide of the conversation. Just let it breathe. Dude, it's like this close up on their face. Dude, all times. It's always close up on a motherfucker. And then God forbid a fight scene begin because I don't know what's going on.

I'm like, all right, the next two minutes, I'm just gonna, like, I'm assuming they're getting hurt. Catching fire did a better. It's like instantly they're like, we're keeping it still and we're using a lot of wide shots and establishing shots. Yes, and you can tell immediately. It's kind of like from the first Twilight movie to the second, it's like a huge upgrade

in quality immediately. Oh, God, yeah. No, I'm serious. No, no, no. Like, no, no, no, you've seen it, you know. It's like the pilot episode of The Office versus the rest of season one. I'm not talking about quality in terms of the story

or acting, I'm talking about like, oh, they have a bigger budget for cameras and lights. It's unlike what they did with The Walking Dead season two, because The Walking Dead season one was so successful, they got a bigger budget. But then they were like, make, make double the episodes for half the budget so we can make more money. It's also the one thing about The Walking Dead that even over a decade ago fucking got me. Like.

Frank Darabont directing? Director of The Green Mile? Yep. I'm scared boss. Any, like literally. And Shawshank Redemption? Oh he did Green Mile and Shawshank? I think.

That makes sense, that tracks. Luke's gonna correct me on screen if I'm wrong. Actually he did The Green Mile and Big Hero 6. Like you know. But fuck what was I saying? Please remind me. Boss. No but before I started doing a John Coffee impression. We were talking about, you were talking about how you started eating cats and dogs. Shut up dude. I was talking about Twilight and then it went from Twilight to... The budget got bigger for these movies. Oh, Walking Dead. The Walking Dead.

People listening going, oh thank god. My god. It's gotta be honestly really frustrating to listen to this show and one of us brings something up and then just we just never again. Yo Matt The title of the show isn't a rev isn't talking about the zombies the title of the show is talking about the humans that are still alive, they're the walking dead because That's a big spoiler. It's a spoiler Did you also know that in alien they had to digitally remove? Some bush mm-hmm from Danny McBride

I'm not I'm not fucking shaving but The Walking Dead the one thing that they could not get right And it looked cheesy even 10, 11 years ago, was the blood from when they would shoot someone in the head. Oh, CG blood? It was the CG blood, but the big thing that got, because it was like, I wish they had filmed their own takes

because here's the problem, the show was a certain frame rate, what, television is what 29 point something The blood if you go back and watch it the blood effects are a different frame rate from the show itself So if you were to go frame by frame, you know, the show would be moving consistently but the blood would like hold the same frame for two and then for three and then for one and then for so like Like you we've dealt with this in premiere before, if you put like an effect in that doesn't match

the frame rate, it looks off. That is, it also just looks really fake. I will say it's unfortunate because Greg Nicotero, who does all of the zombie makeup work, all of the practical work for the show, at least he did for the seasons that we watched. Incredible. All of that's really good. It's really incredible.

Even in the first episode, that half zombie thing that's crawling around, that's practical. All the work that they did is awesome. So it's such a weird choice to just be like, yeah, instead of squibs, let's just cheap out on the- Just go on YouTube, search green screen blood squirt And then literally looks like they did that yeah Like no joke. I don't know

It's like they they go to one of those YouTube download websites get a bunch of viruses download it in 480p And then call it a day. It's like we're done. Yeah, I mean it's blood I mean so you see it squirt people are watching this on TV. You know they're far away from it I think TV screens are they're not big Yeah Well speaking of Danny McBride, I've been watching eastbound and down I've never seen it before. Well, I watched when I was in high school Kenny Powers Yeah, when I was in high school, my my sister was like you gotta watch this

it's before her voice changed and She read her wonders. Yes. She, I watched a little bit, I don't remember it, but I've started rewatching, really watching for the first time, and I just finished the second season. Have you seen it? No.

I've seen clips. It's really good. But I've never watched it. I was too young for it when it was out. Yeah, it was 2009. I- Was it HBO or what was it? HBO, yeah.

I figured- There's titties. We didn't have HBO Back then HBO was like you had to be rich or you were in a hotel room Only my rich friends had HBO same no one else had HBO except for like the upper middle class to upper class People that I knew HBO was it was a rich man's thing or a porn addict thing now It's oh that is true because maybe if you're like a gooner back in the day. Skinimax. All that shit.

Yep, Skinimax. RIP to Skinimax. I'm sure they still have that forum, like you can still flip through a guide and find like some title. Oh, I mean on cable TV still to this day, if you open the guide and you scroll down far enough into like the hundreds, you'll see the porn channels.

You gotta pay extra for them. Fucking capitalism. I'm glad you know that I do know that Remember dude when we were hanging out in Charlotte We took a fan to Hooters and then we went to his friends garage the fan was a food delivery driver who then decided to Just bail on the food delivery because we were eating at Hooters and he was getting food delivery from Hooters He decided the bail on that food delivery saw us drive us to a gas station

So I could get like cigarettes and some I got a twisted tea drinks And then he offered to smoke us up took us back to his friends house his friend his friends house Or like I guess the group house that they were all kind of like pitching in it was in like a suburban kind of it was Like on the outskirts of wherever we were in North Carolina, but it felt like a picket fence type dude. It was awesome. That was one of the best nights of my life I'm not kidding watching porn in an open garage smoking weed in a state like I I they had balls We were smoking weed in a garage in North Carolina very legal like garage door fully open just in a suburban neighborhood It's like dude you got the threat from the cops, but you also got the threat from mom and dad Mm-hmm, so I guess mom and dad were cool with it, but it was it was a it was a wonder federal trouble my brother

Yeah, but that was one of the best nights of my life We we've filmed the whole thing and it's still to this day. I cannot believe that that night actually happened It's it's on the channel. Feels like a movie. And it was! We edited into one essentially. We took a fan to Hooters. Look that up if you haven't seen it. It's one of our best just... I couldn't believe how it unfolded.

We left our hotel, we were just gonna walk to Hooters. It was originally just going to be a Hooters vlog. And it's like let's film ourselves at Hooters. We were filming the very end. Where you see the fan coming up, we were filming the very end of the Hooters vlog. We're walking out and go Matt Ryan and we're like oh what's up man and the rest is history. That was truly one of the best nights of my life. Hanging out with all those super megastory. You know, Christory has a good ring to it. I'm trying to find our own version of it.

It was a matter of fact. Okay. But hanging out with all those nice young Latinx boys smoking weed and watching porn was awesome. Sipping Grey Goose out the bottle. Sipping Grey Goose out the bottle, thinking about tomorrow, singing sweet home, North Carolina all summer long. And then, well you don don't don't forget the best part. We were trying different things We mean like broken funny things like hooking up with dudes Like kid rock singing about like, you know, I would spy curious trying different things They were still they were taking turns sticking hotel pens into each other's buttholes and this feels weird

Let's try some docking. That's what he meant. Ooh, like a spaceship docking onto the International Space Station. It even visually looks kind of like that. That's why they call it docking for the space station, because it's reminiscent of the penises. But yeah, Carlo. Esposito? I believe his name was Carlo.

The fan from that night. I follow him on Instagram. Really nice guy. I believe his name was Carlo. The fan from that night. I follow him on Instagram. Really nice guy. I hope he's still watching. I hope he's doing well. Because after we finished smoking weed with those young gentlemen, he had to drive us back to the hotel. He drove us back to Hooters.

Well, Hooters was on the way to the hotel and we're like, hey, what if we stopped at Hooters again? And for the second time one night we stopped, we got some drinks. And? And some place. The order was still there. The order was still sitting there

that he was supposed to pick up hours ago and they didn't know that he was the driver and we were talking to the fine ladies at Hooters. And they were closing it this time. Yeah, and they were just like, y'all want some free food? Look, this never got picked up. We're like, okay.

And he's like, what's the name on it? And it was his. He's it, yep. And Ryan and I took that bag of food back to our hotel. We ate it. It's all in the vlog. We both can't recommend to watch it if you haven't, or maybe if you have, just go reminisce.

Maybe you forgot just how wacky and crazy those those those super mega boys got in North Carolina. They really lost the light. I'm gonna let it shine let it shine let it shine let it shine but East down and East bounding down is really good. Okay. You know what else is really good? Is it the end of the podcast? Well no, that's always very sad. I was going to say what's very good is the amount of support that we get from the Megheads. The super mega fans. The fans of what we do. You guys are so freaking awesome.

And sweet. And sweet. I want to make sure that we clarify both of those. Because if you happen to be a visual watcher, sorry, audio listeners and blind people, if you look on screen right now, there are two lists of names scrolling. These lists, these contain the names of every employee at Doge.

The ones in green are lower tier employees, but the ones that have like emo. They sent an email and they got, the ones that are green are the ones that are good and the other ones on the list are the ones that are being fired from Doge. The ones with the emojis next to them? Yeah.

But that looks nicer though. Look, it's just, it's part of them cleaning house. That's, I mean, that's what Elon tweeter. Well, Elon's never been a designer, you know? house. That's, I mean, that's what Elon tweeted. Well, Elon's never been a designer, you know? So I guess, just let the genius work. Might have been a mistake. He's like Mozart painting a picture.

Right. Pfft. Um, but yeah, if, if. I should have said Beethoven, that would have hit better. No, Mozart was great. Okay. Because it actually threw me off for a second. I was like, he's a,, no he's not a pin.
