Kayla the King, glad I had a chance of meatballs, too. What's your favorite food mall? What food would you have liked to see animated as foodamol?

Starting point is 00:02:38 What would you name your foodimal creation? Favorite food mold was... Yeah, you love the taco. My God, was that funny to me. Taco Dow Supreme, not only was the actual delivery of the visual amazing, but the pun is fantastic. I liked it narratively. I liked that little kids.

Starting point is 00:02:55 It was just being a protective mom. or Papa Bear, and Taco Dau's hilarious. So Taco Dau's Prina. I love Barry. Barry's cute. I love Barry. I tend to. For the same reasons that I love Grogu, I love Barry.

Starting point is 00:03:08 Big eyes, cute little creature. Come on. You know what you want. Pocket size. And I like that a lot. What would you name your food immol creation yourself? Yeah, what do you want to see? I did think it was kind of cool to see at the end the soft serve ice cream as the slope.

Starting point is 00:03:25 So locations more. And, like, then if they have feelings, it's odd. So, you know, and when we saw the rock candy, it's like, oh, that's cool. So more location stuff. A man-goat. That was really good, dude. I can't, they definitely can't talk about it. All right, here we go with.

Starting point is 00:03:42 Oh, God. I'm having a tough time with this, okay. Jay Rushden, Gladwich's meatballs to Roxie Koi. What food would cause the most problems? problems falling then eaten there for me it rum cake at about 120 proof alcohol underage problems there that's a great call um that's an amazing call i think that that's very good what's like a really heavy food uh i was thinking like just for my own sake if cookie dough felt in the sky i would get heavy uh like i think that would be the dangerous one for me like even worse than booze i think if

Starting point is 00:04:20 i if i had access to cookie dough without willpower you would be like the mayor in the loud i would 100% I feel like if mashed potatoes fell we'd all die yeah I think we'd suffocate I thought about that

Starting point is 00:04:31 with the jello though when they survived but I think yeah I think like potatoes would be dangerous or like a like a hard like yam yeah yeah

Starting point is 00:04:38 like any dense thing for sure yeah yeah Robbie Bobarb pirate hi guys how's it going

Starting point is 00:04:47 today I have a light question and a heavy question you can answer them in order and in the order you want okay do we want do we want to go light

Starting point is 00:04:53 or heavy first I haven't read them heavy first every first okay heavy cue the movie deals with themes of bully growing up befriending the nerd he bullied for all their lives well i know that can happen in real life too not to me personally i just lost contact with my bullies has that ever happened to you or someone close to you i ran into some of my bullies at a wedding about like 10 now like eight years ago you had many and yeah And, like, a group. What walk of life, elementary, middle, high, high, and high school? And, like, they were the popular kids that, and I wanted to be popular so bad.

Starting point is 00:05:35 And there was a little time I was, like, welcome with popular kids. But I was always, like, if the group was the popular kids, if there was someone to poke at, it was me. So I was, like, in the circle, but I was, like, the butt of jokes. So it was really personal. And I remember running into them in a wedding and thinking, like, hey, we grew up and, like, everything's fine. And then I added them on Facebook, and then a certain election happened. And there was a lot of. vitriol and animosity and uh and they just turned out to be the exact people i thought they were

Starting point is 00:06:01 really yeah so uh yeah there was a temporary reprieve and now i so it's never happened to you where you become friends with a bully i temporarily yeah yeah but like it wasn't authentic it was you know they saw it was doing well in l a fake friendship yeah i cannot think of a time that i've become friends with a bully but what i will say is i have received apologies decades later later. I've actually received more apologies than most people have in life, I think. And I'm so grateful for that because I don't need to be friends with people who have so severely wronged me. Not that I would never, but to receive a genuine heartfelt apology from somebody, whether it's a year later, 10 years, when you know that enough time has passed that they genuinely are sorry and

Starting point is 00:06:48 they're only reaching out just to tell you that, that's cool. That's very cool. Yeah, it is special. So I always appreciate a nice apology And somewhat water under the bridge I too have had many of ways, goys. So none of them my friends yet, but there's still time. There's still time, but I don't forget. I might forgive, but I don't forget. You don't seem like the type.

Starting point is 00:07:11 Nope. Let's get to the light question from Robbie. He says, of all the incredible and inventive creatures that appear in the movie, which one's your favorite, and which one was your least favorite. So we already answered favorite. Talk about Supreme and Barry. And least favorite?

Starting point is 00:07:22 I just feel like some of them that we didn't do that much with like Watermelfint Yeah You could have done more You know there's some It's not that they were my least favorite It's more just like who we focused on

Starting point is 00:07:34 Versus who we didn't focus on Some of the puns I just didn't get I don't remember which ones The butter It was the one right after the butter Yeah we said and we were both like What? That one because I felt dumb

Starting point is 00:07:45 Yeah me too So yeah the one that made us feel dumb Someone explain that to us in the comments Please we appreciate it um all right thank you to the patrons for asking us rejignation i'm interrupted this video because the start of this year here's some photos i started off at 218 pounds and had over 20% body fat since then i've dropped close to 50 pounds i am now at 7.9% body fat pretty proud of the results now i'm focused on like building muscle

There's a ton of questions, guys. Pardon. Bear with us because this is a group of three. Oh, wait, there's one. Cloud. If you had to live in one of the biomes on the island, which would it be and why? Thank you, Game Night J-14. I don't be sorry.

Starting point is 00:09:59 I didn't see it on account of the fact that this is very difficult. Man, there were so many cool places. Definitely not the one with snow because I'm cold. Yep, right now. I think the inner sanctum when it was like, I want to see creation. And it was really cool to see like the spontaneous creation. It felt like a jungle, the rock candy, and, like, it was so vibrantly colored. That was so cool, dude.

Starting point is 00:10:26 That was pretty red. So my favorite thing is the Jello Hut, though. It's pretty good for the first one. Yeah, no, that's not in this, and it's also not a bio. Nope, but you fell in love. But that's what I want. So I think that that is our patron question, so I have a question for you. Yes.

Starting point is 00:10:41 And thank you to the patrons. You guys are amazing. We appreciate you asking all of these. Okay. I guess my question for you, Koi, is, did you like this? movie did not work for me as well as the first i laughed more than a movie i don't like yeah the movie overall i think my expectations because the first one were really high so i was like excited to die back into this world and then it was like the average slightly above average movie that i thought

Starting point is 00:11:08 the first would be so i think like the first one's four stars for me i think this one's like three stars but i think if i was expecting a three star film i would have been fine but i was expecting i know man does that make sense you and i had the exact same experience I think where for a movie that looked as amazing as this movie did because I genuinely don't have one qualm with how this movie looked and has a lead that I care about and other characters that I really care about and deals with nerdy topics of science but also deals with heartwarming things and like we spoke about some of the deeper stuff and bullying world I just feel like this movie should be a little more up my alley than it was I found myself like to be honest and I wonder if this shows a little tired I was definitely tired

Starting point is 00:11:58 I was tired during it and I'm frankly I'm not tired so at some point during it like an hour in I found myself being like wow my eyes are a little heavy you know like I wasn't passing out tired but I was just like maybe the visuals are so cool that I feel like

Starting point is 00:12:15 I'm on cloud tripping but the pacing the story was just moving so slow and we weren't pushing the plot forward that much and that's why I think I started developing second and third A and B and C and D plots because I was like there must be more nefarious things going on you're waiting for peanut butter but it didn't come back right and like you remember in the last one I kept making all these predictions and they kept coming true we talked about how there were like five wrap-ups at the end right and I think that that's in this one I just kept thinking no they couldn't have possibly told us the whole story in the first minute like there must

Starting point is 00:12:47 be more reason it can't possibly be that they just didn't find the fit a minister it can't possibly bad guy just says he's evil they can't find it and it ends that way so i was like no no quay like obviously they put something in the water there's more to this and i'm sure people watching were like what why is she confused they told her the whole story and i was just like i was like no they didn't know because why would they were confused because they told you the whole story the first five minutes right so i just kept like making my own movie up um i think that was also the pacing issue that i had where i i had time to drift. And this is a very visually stunning movie. It's a very well

Starting point is 00:13:20 stacked cast. It's a very good team on below and above the line, but I kept having time to drift. That's not good. I think there were too many cooks in the kitchen. Yeah, I think it might be that too, because there's also great jokes, but I don't know. There's three story writers. There's multiple directors, three I think there as well.

Starting point is 00:13:37 Yeah. And I think the first film was just so dense and paid off a lot whereas this was really lean and was clever in its beats. But that's more what I expect out of a traditional like, oh, an animated movie it's going to be all ages but it gears towards kids and as adults you find those little jokes like that's the baseline and this was that where it's like for all ages but it's geared towards kids oh look some jokes for adults what the first one did was it was all ages but it

Starting point is 00:14:01 had entertainment for the adults that was running parallel to the story for the kids so you got to find more and it wasn't like crude there wasn't stuff kids couldn't see but there was a lot more going on so i think i was more stimulated was this the last one in the franchise yeah so there was a cloudy one and a cloudy two that's it yeah i kind of would like to see a cloudy three i want them to redeem it yeah yeah i just feel like this was a lull and i don't want to be overly harsh on it because again i bet people really four years apart four years 20 2009 for the first thousand 13 for the and was this as well reviewed this one has a 2.9 on letterboxed the first one has a 3.4 okay so that's i mean about a half uh you know substantial yeah that's uh you know that's uh you know

Starting point is 00:14:46 It's an out of five, so a half letter is reasonable. I think the people were spot on about the difference between these. However, the first one I think deserves higher than that. I thought the first one was amazing. Yeah, I mean, I gave it like a four out of five. I thought it was really great, which is like, you know, B plus A minus on my scale. I'm with you. And this one's like a C.

Starting point is 00:15:04 Yep. Totally. That's why I don't want to be too harsh on it because it's not like I didn't like a movie. It's like a very good average. And I laughed a lot for average, but the rest weighed that laugh down. Like, if I had a niece or nephew who was like, I want to watch this, I'd be like, oh, happily, you know, I put on. Yeah, whatever, but I wouldn't recommend it.

Starting point is 00:15:20 Yeah, yeah, yeah, I wouldn't be like, da, da, da, da, this one is what we're watching, but if they said it, it wouldn't be mad. But the first one, I'd be like, you know, let's watch Cloudy. Yep, exactly. All right, so you and I were completely on the same page. And I want to say it during, because I was hoping it would redeem itself. I know, I know, I know. I was like, and that Earl moment was my favorite of the finale beats, but like you said, that was the only arc anyone got outside of Flint.

Starting point is 00:15:40 Yeah, yeah, I know, I know, because we do this. She barely got to use her meteorology. The dad barely got the bomb. with this kid. It's going to be a huge deal. And it was like her describing something. And the dad got his moment that he got with the pickles, but like that didn't feel very big or warm like it did in the first one.

Starting point is 00:15:55 We didn't get Manny getting any real beat. Like the biggest beat for a sporting character was Earl causing a blueberry to grow a beard because of his manliness and admitting that emotion is manly, which I like, but that was the only arc. That's true. I don't have more to say on this. I think, and I see, I think I'm glad it exists. I'm glad kids can have something to show them. You know, the importance of not letting people walk all over you,

Starting point is 00:16:19 that your idols are at times not what they seem, and that it, like, I've learned over and over again that there is something to the human element of worship. Like, people can mess up. I grew up loving certain actors, and then it's not like I've met any of them and been like, but I have had actors that I loved reveal themselves to be less good people. And I, like, from a distance had to be like,

Starting point is 00:16:44 all right, well, that's a bummer. Like, there are things. like that uh so common theme in a lot of movie the we i think we did that in big hero yeah watching animation movies there's a lot of them i think it's important for kids to get that early i wish i had gleaned it before mill gipson but uh you know that is what that is and that's something that i think kids need so i'm glad that lesson is out there but i wish the movie had been as tight as the first like more buttoned up okay well you know no harm no foul i'm glad that we did it i don't know what is on top for me and you next but we need something so we do wrecks in the chat

Starting point is 00:17:16 please let us know comment appreciate that and we will see you next time later rejects jennis we are ending the patron of the day shout out tier somehow you uh slid into it but we don't want to just take your mullah so we got to give you a traditional shout out because it would be your first and last one unfortunately hey come in and come out to blaze of glory jay stands for jesus Christ, the alpha and omega of the shoutouts right now.
