So just so we have it straight. Are we talking they were people first and they turned into dogs or it's dogs like a people transformation? I think they were dogs doomed to walk the earth as people. I think that they're like given sentience and like there should be like a Flowers for Algernon episode where like one of them misses being a dog. You know what I mean? The old times before he knew what depression was or something. But then he just starts reverting like mentally back to a dog. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah.

And like he just had to write a little letter to somebody like before my brain dies. I need you to know this. And maybe like by the time it gets to the end of it, he's. devolved to the point where he signs it with a paw for him. He just the dog doesn't know what he's doing, but he knows he needs to finish it. Yeah, that would make me cry. It's like a weird

like muscle memory thing. Like it's just going to be finished. Welcome to animation damnation. I'm Andrew Jupe and alongside Stephen Sadek. Today we're talking about an episode of a late 90s cartoon by the name of Road Rovers. The

episode in question, a hair of the dog that bit you, originally airing September 21st in the Great Year of Our Lord 1996 It's interesting I don't know if anyone wants us to do this episode Like you know what? Did anyone watch a show?

Like hey if you're listening Did you watch a show? Did you watch pro stars? I mean, you know We have to think about this for every episode That's true, yeah. But this might be the one with the biggest question mark. Did anyone watch Road Rovers?

I did. Did you? A little bit. A little bit. I found this like on a Wikipedia rabbit hole and I was like, oh shit, that show. Oh, so you remembered it from. Yes, exactly. Because this was during the heyday or the latter part of the heyday of the animania, the kids WB thing, which had anime maniacs. They had later period. Bruce Tim Batman episodes were on those. Which I kind of don't care for. Oh, yeah. Oh, when the style changes. Yes. When it became like the adventures of Batman and Robin. It's still great, but it's like, it's not as great as the first three seasons of that show were. Yeah, no, I agree. It's a little different.

The episode writing was still fine, but the style, like the sky was red all the time. Like, what happened in Gotham City? Did the Joker win? That was when the show transformed. It was like nuclear winter in Gotham. But at the same time, too, it was also like way too happy. Yeah, it was like way too jokey. It was a little younger skewing because, again, it was on.

It was on Kids WB, and that was like the Cornerstone. The Superman show was on, and I, here I am a little fat kid, like, Batman and Superman have an animation block. Oh, sure. And I'm watching it, and, like, I'm aging out of Animaniacs anyway, so I'm not watching that. And then Road Rover shows up, but I'm like, I don't know, like, maybe? And I was like, no, no. Well, also what this is way too late in the game for, which you mentioned off the air, is it's way too late in the game to be cribbing from Ninja Turtles. Yes, yes.

And like, you know, whatever battle toads, you got away with it, whatever biker mice from Mars, you barely farted in there. Pizza cats from somewhere. There was definitely a pizza cats. Pizza cats? I think there were cats that liked pizza. Oh, man. Samurai pizza cats. Samurai pizza cats.

Okay. Or something of the like. Yeah. And like, these are all lawsuits that like never happened or maybe like they were waiting for a class action. I mean, I'm sorry. Samurai pizza cats. Someone should be getting the chair for that. That's how hardcore the copyright infringement is with that.

You literally just replace cats from turtles. Yeah, they like pizza. Samurai ninja super close. Yeah. Oh, sure. Oh, that's embarrassing. I mean, this is bad, though. It's like Ninja Turtles, if Ninja Turtles kept all the fucking terrible jokes that were in it,

but also added way more action. Yeah. Because they're kind of like spies. So to just bring it through it, because no one knows what this is. This is a show wherein the presidential pets from various countries America obviously is a leader.

England's there, Russia, Germany and then other things. Take their dogs and mutate them into an action team and they wear like body armor and they're like half human half dog. Like they have

like human hands but dog feet and like it's very disturbing the look. much of this is disturbing and of course we'll be getting into the genitalia but someone's just waiting when are they gonna talk about it but my first question is this idea that like there was a global agreement that these world leaders were going to donate their dogs for this experiment like why just get a dog yes why does it have to be bow obama i guess because like fucking checkers nixon gets in there they could

be trusted with the nation's secrets? I guess is the, you don't want to bring some hobo dog that's just going to sell out the United States for some cheddar. Oh, yeah, I guess so. So you needed like Prince Charles's dog for this movie? Yeah, Prince Charles is there.

That's, I mean, talk about dated. This episode opens in foggy old London town and there is a poorly like a caricatured version of Princess Prince Charles and Princess Diana and they're discussing terms of their divorce.

What the fuck, kids cartoon? Yeah, I'm just a kid wanting to watch human-looking dogs fight things. Like, you know what? I don't need to know, A, to know about divorce, but you probably do because you're a kid. But, and or B, to have to, like, worry about, like, I don't know, know who Princess Diana is. Well, who's that joke for, the fucking babysitter

that's watching this at 4.30 in the afternoon? Some, like, 30-year-old. That's cute. I mean, that's the best you're going to get with that, right? That's what we did. Look at that. And then it's over with because they're attacked by werewolves. Yeah, that's the through line of the episode, I guess.

Right. Also in this world we're in. And you would think maybe why we do road rovers to begin with. It's like, oh, werewolves are a huge problem in this fake world. Let's bring a dog fighting force to even the scales. Here's why this is a huge problem. Okay, please. It's kind of introducing werewolves into this world is kind of a conflict of interest because you already have a world wherein you can take a dog from the White House do something to it and it becomes a superhero that walks on its leg still looks like a dog has 10 fingers and 10 toes and probably a huge humanoid dick, right?

Like that's all happening. It's got a human buttocks. Oh, that's for sure. Dude, my ass has never been as toned as the ass cheeks of these dogs. It's disgusting. Dogs don't have ass cheeks. That's a very, that's a, that's a, that's a, that's a, that's a, that's a, that's a, that's a, that's a, that's a, that's, that's, that's, that's, just. But so, you have all of this already going on.

Uh-huh. You cannot then also have lichenthropy, like, paranormal tales, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's just stupid. It's got, the only way you could do ninja turtles in Dracula. Or Dracula in Ninja Turtles is if it's a bat that gets the mutagen and then he kind of acts a bit like Dracula. Sure. Which may have actually happened, which is not ruling that out. If not, I'd copyright that idea, Steve Tadag. But this idea, like, you could just have wolves that also had that procedure done or something.

It is a procedure. They don't explain what it is in the opening, like theme song, though, unlike Ninja Turtles, that you got that every time so you didn't forget. Well, they go, they do show for one second, there are like brundlefly little chambers they go into and come out these people. I don't know if there's, oh, I miss that. If there's human DNA going on or what, could we talk about the guy that's behind it all? Like, and maybe if you're a road rover's aficionado, you probably know his name, you probably know all about him. But like, he's only a small part of this one episode that we watched. But he is, he's got long white hair.

He's a scientist, clearly. Oh, well, there's a lab coat He's got like a Michael Landon voice Like an even calm Michael Landon He looks like Raiden playing a scientist Yes, and also his eyes are made of light It's fucking weird And his mouth too, right?

When his mouth opens, lights coming out I don't know It's insane It looks like he's a half a second away From being killed by a scanner He fell down Jacob's ladder And he came out like this I don't understand

I don't get it. And, like, again, to your point about werewolves, what is this guy's deal? I just need a regular old human scientist that thought this was a good idea. Like, what, did he go to, like, heaven and come back and realize that this is what the world needed? I think he asked the fucking crystal skull alien to have all the knowledge and he got Cape Blanchetted. That's it. But they decided halfway, like, no, you will walk the earth like this. Yeah, and he's just like, please make my head explode.

I just looked at him. mirror please make my head blow right off my brain is made of fire i wish i was dead thank you well okay so you're not going to reverse this i guess i'll engineer a scientific program to turn the world's most royal dogs into superheroes how do you get from whatever this light accident was this fucking dr manhattan tragedy into headlining a fucking dog experiment also yeah i'm not like you know what scientists need to write out their proposal like i'm not signing this guy's proposal no fucking way just by looking at him oh bright eyes over there no not him sorry sir we're going with aides research yeah i mean that's a fucking dog idea we'll we'll get a we'll just beef up the military

slightly i'm not going to spend five billion dollars so you can spend send five dogs into a hellish existence where they're half people and half not and know not what they do. Like the president's chief of staff saw this proposal in the garbage and was like, say. Because listen, here's the thing. Of course this was an American's idea. Yeah, what a stupid hackneyed plan. Well, because the leader, his name is Hunter. He's the American's dog.

He's not Sox the cat, which actually would have been great. Yes. If Sox was the leader. The socks could Sox could have been like the Oracle You're not turned in Well actually no

You know Clinton was smart I'm not gonna fucking Destroy my My cat that I love Like go buy me a dog Yeah I'll have a dog Yeah

Go to the store Chelsea go get me a dog We'll call it Hunter Don't fall in love with it Baby girl It's going away Just don't You know what

Actually Chelsea You stay home I'll send the Secret Service I don't want anyone Having any feelings For this dog He's gonna be an assassin Mitch go get a dog

Hitchko get a dog. We got a teacher to shoot a rifle. I don't know how to solve Kosovo. Maybe a bunch of half dogs. We'll do it. You know, so wherewolves happen, the Russian one who also has eye beams. Like, and here we go. Like, you know what?

Look, maybe you want to make dog soldiers, whatever, none of my business. Why would you give one of them eye beams? And we're talking by eye beams. It's heat and freeze vision. Both. And not have both. And no one else has any powers whatsoever. They're just dogs that, you know, they're athletic, I guess.

All right. So let's break it down. Sure. We've got Hunter, who's the American white guy stand in. Then you have Collie, who is like an English dog that looks like Gates McFadden kind of. Yeah, kind of. I mean, she's a collie, but yes, she's also vaguely Gates McFadden-esque. Dude, it's like early TNG Gates McFadden.

Just look at it. I mean, the problem with Kate took Fatton's hair back then was it made her look a little bit like a collie. A beautiful woman, but you put that mop on someone's head. Yeah, that's what I'm saying. Yeah, it looked terrible. So you got her, I mean, and also let's just get it out of the way with Colleen here. Oh, yeah. Why human breasts?

Why indeed? I mean, she's like a sea cup. It's crazy. I've got kids here. I don't understand. And they're wearing like battle armor, right? Like, that's the idea. They kind of look like Robocop.

They kind of, maybe they are Robo. Well, actually, no, they take them off and wear, like, day outfits that are, like, green. They have casual work uniforms. Yes. Yeah, not their dress blues. But so they're, like, in these robotic outfits, but the breasts, A, exist, which, I don't know, light eye scientist. I don't know what your deal is, but maybe that's not part of the thing that I splice. No.

Well, we can get to, well, because you brought up the scientist. and we're talking about collie. One of the most awkward things in this episode is at the end of it. So, spoiler alert, one of the team turns into a werewolf. They don't know which one it is. It turns out that it's the collie, right? So she's turning into a werewolf and attacking her teammates. At the end of the episode, of course she's cured.

And so Bright Eyes comes out and he's like, good job, my children. I was just talking with God. And he goes, he says something to the effect of, and it's nice to see that Collie is. back to looking like her normal beautiful self. And you're like, did you just say that dog was beautiful? And you know what? Like, if you've got a female dog, someone's like, oh, who's a pretty lady?

You know, you do that sometimes, like, or whatever, right? But listen, when, and I've heard this before, though, when someone is like, well, that's a beautiful dog. And you're like, what did you say? It's a gorgeous dog. That's a beautiful animal. Look at how beautiful that dog is. Look at that beautiful dog. And you're like, get away from my beautiful dog.

dog, man. But it's different when you are a scientist that puts... The only scientist in the history of mankind that put breasts on a dog. Oh, totally. You're not allowed to say that anymore, sir. Especially because also guaranteed bright eyes, you consider these creatures to be your children. I'm imagining Clinton being like, oh, you saved the day again, road rovers. Thanks so much, scientist, bright eyes. And he's in the elevator with like the, with the Secret Service guys.

He's fucking that dog, right? Like, that's what's going on. Someone put a tail on him. I don't need these dogs to be sexually abused. I don't need that in the tabloids. Don't need another sex scandal on my hands. And it's not what the White House needed back then. First Monica Lewinsky, now fucking dogs.

I just don't understand the purpose. Like, I don't know, like having a, it's nice to put a female presence on a team like this because the Ninja Turtles didn't have a lady. That's true. Like, that's fine. But why the breasts? Because you already, I mean, you have the hair. It's kind of drawn to be looking like it's wearing eye shadow. That's all you need. We fucking get it. Yeah. Also, it's, it's, Tress McNeil or Tess McNeil? It's Trest. Tres McNeil from the Simpsons doing a fucking horrendous English accent. This is really bad. But so, you know, you've given her a feminine voice. Like, I don't need tits to fucking put the puzzle together. I got it. That's a lady, dog. And that's, like, the battle armor, too. Like, this is actually something that I realize that I'm really thankful about Captain Fasma is, like, most times when people, like, you watch animas or whatever, somebody's got body armor. For some reason, the breasts need their own plates and need to be, like, super pronounced. But, like, Phasma is, she's a lady, but, like, it's just, it's a body armor.

So why would you expose your breasts or highlight them in a body armor? Kind of have a feeling that if George Lucas designed Captain Fasma, it's a real capital. knockers madam situation certainly yeah exactly it's it's from the it's it's a rejected costume from ninja scroll which i don't need in my star wars movie thank you but no thank you no no no so uh there's the siberian one then we've got a doberman pincher oh who is doing like and i mean look we have a d grade arnold impression like you know what i mean no one's getting on saturday night live for us doing arnold no it's not terrific it's not terrific but it this is an f grade Arnold Impression. It's so bad. It's so, like, you have seen this guy do, like, bad impression stand-up comedy at some nothing comedy club in a fucking mall food court somewhere. You know what I realized? That's the kind of impression it is. It's not an Arnold impression. It's a Hans and Franz impression. Yo, wow. It's totally right. It's the guy in your office doing, I'm going to pump you up. And you're like, yeah, could you just give me that fucking copy, Barry or what? You know what, Barry? You're coming. You're coming.

Coming up on your six-month evaluation, you're still on probationary status in this company. Here's a tip. Knock off both Hans and fucking Franz, Barry. Remember that nationwide or discount double check? They brought them back for some reason. Oh, I remember it all too well. Who was asking? I mean, maybe Dana Carvey, but maybe Dana Carvey.

Kevin Nealyn's fine. He's working. He's worked consistently throughout the years. He's hanging out with Arnold Palmer, like, getting whatever medicine he's getting. You see that commercial? It's him. It's Kevin Arnold Palmer and some race car guy. And I think it's Dick Medicine.

Oh, is it Dick Medicine? I kind of think so. I mean, look, I'm possibly not. But I might be leaning towards Dick Medicine. That's your second comedy album, right? Is I might be leaning towards Dick Medicine? Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's coming out in a couple years. Still working on it. And then there's one that's, there's two other dogs. I'm sorry.

There's so many, there's six dogs of this team, which is way too many And the one that I was most excited about, we didn't even see in this episode. The other one's called Shag. He's a big shaggy dog that is kind of developmentally disabled because he doesn't talk like everybody else. And he still runs like a dog. I think he was like the first one. You know what I mean? Oh, no, this isn't going to work.

Yeah, exactly. And I think it was like probably what you think, like the prime minister of Canada's dog. They're like, yeah, we'll do this one first. Get over here, shag. But wait, save that sexy collie for last. I want all the kinks worked out for that beautiful collie. She must be perfectly constructed. Man, this is uncomfortable.

This is the worst internship I've ever had. It's groundbreaking scientist, but isn't it weird? Doesn't it make you feel a little skeevy to be doing this to dogs? He's so into that collie. Right? I'm not the only one that's noticing that. And what happened? Was he in a nuclear reactor? Did he rebuild himself Adam by Adam?

Listen, we're going to have to ask him out for drinks, get him kind of loaded, and then get the real story because it's killing me. He's made of light. Our boss has made a light. It's like half light and half David Garradee. Wow, you're totally right with that. And then the last one is a Hannibal Lecter kind of dog for some reason. Hey, sure. I think it's a rot, a rot, a.

like he's like rabbit i guess is the joke i mean it's like he's the crazy one and he's like they're doing the thing where it was like lector tied to the board and the mask over his face and everything uh because kids love the silence of the lambs number one oh yeah animaniacs will make some silence of the lambs jokes for you oh sure and it's just like again this must be for the babysitter it must be for the stay yeah the stay-in-home parent that's like all right i remember that movie came out five years ago, sure. Lights a cigarette in the middle of the living room. Oh, absolutely. So I think that's the whole team. We got everybody. For whatever reason, Hannibal Lecter Dog is not featured in this, but we get the rest of them. Oh, by the way, Hannibal Lecter dog and Shag, both of the non-speaking dogs.

Yes. voiced by his eminence, Frank Welker, the Pope of Animation. I mean, when you need someone to go, Ra, Brow, Frank Welker's your guy. And I just love, like, Like, how do you, as like a grown man? No, I was going to say he's like a casting agent for a cartoon, right? How are you like, well, we need someone to just make a bunch of dog noises. Of course Frank Welker's the best at that. Like, do other people do this? I don't think anyone can do it.

That's his side of the road. You know what I mean? I think people have tried and then people went missing. Like some, like, look, I could, look, I could point like a pig. Like, that's, I'm fine. with that. That's Frank's turf, man. You don't want to go there. Yeah, you're not doing this pig. Get out of here. You're not doing this pig.

Maybe there's like something like when they redid the SAG like a contract for some reason like one rider all the way down. Frank Welkow to lobby that he's the only one to make dog noises. You're going to get a scab for that. Oh yeah. You'll never work in this town again

kind of a thing. So this episode, so whatever. There's like werewolves attacking people all over the place. And they're trying to, like, get to the bottom of it or whatever. And there's a ton of action in this show. Like, the first werewolf attack, like, they fucking, like, our friends, the road rovers, they've got, like, guns and they've got, like, fucking rocket launchers and stuff. They'd make great toys, I'll tell you that much.

And so, oh, yeah, don't you want to buy the whole set? You can't have an adventure without the whole team. So, like, the one guy, like, our main character here, whatever his name is. Hunter. Hunter gives like the mentally deficient one a rocket launcher. And of course he just blows up an entire building. They do make a point though of like you see it really quick if you look that it says like abandoned on it or something. And that's cartoon language for like we promise there was no people in there.

Man, the people will be up in arms. If people died on a road rovers mission, like you know what? Look, it was fun while it lasted with the road rovers. Yeah. Turns out now your dog soldiers are getting. innocent civilians killed we're just gonna send in the military why not the fucking green berets they're really good at that sort of thing totally well i mean are green berets good at taking down werewolves i mean some movies say yes i'm sure i'm sure there's at least one movie that says yes

but like i guess we because we only watch one episode we don't know like what your average road rovers mission looks like because clearly this is a special occasion we're we're dipping into you know paranormal territory although again I don't know this was only the third episode of the show yeah I guess you're just trying to keep everything fresh and like whatever but was this maybe the

backdoor pilot for a road rover's nights possibly where the road like maybe one of the road road the Siberian one spins off and owns his own detective agency oh my god and deals with the paranormal it's road rover meets Colchack the night stalker

nice oh shit Yeah, probably. They really tried, but again, I don't know. By the third episode, you're like, we already got to work in spin-offs. We're just keeping the door open for them. There is also, oh, one member of the team we forgot. Oh, did we? So you've got your dog soldiers of all kinds, right?

Of course you need someone back at the home base, maybe like a Q type character. And that's got to be a dog scientist, right? He's a, what do you call it? A bloodhound. Yes. And like they're trying to, he's smelling. things and whatever, but like, why would you make a dog scientist?

You clearly have scientists there already making these dogs. I mean, clearly Dr. Light is doing what, talking to Jehovah or whatever is going on. But, like, there's got to be under scientists. You don't need to make a whole other dog scientist. I think that's got to be a thing where it's like, look,

these dogs are out on missions. It's a really hard time. You know, they need to be able to come back to the base and have someone they can relate to. I see. Another dog that has been painfully and dramatically been ripped out of its former form and turned into a human being dog.

They need to have someone like that to come home to and share the pain. I just thought of something because it's weird and they do this thing where like people, all of them are kind of flirting with collie a bit. Big time. Or Colleen. And A, are they fixed? That's my first question. Second question, if not, which why would they be flirting if they weren't?

why, or if they were, why only one female dog to all these male dogs? Like, you need to, again, these guys are going on on this mission. You know how like Marines party hard, you know what I mean? Sure leave. You need that because you're putting your life in your hands every day. You need to get your rocks off somehow. Why on earth only one female dog? That's a bad idea.

Well, also, I mean, they kind of insinuate that that one dog might be jerking off in the shower, though. They kind of do. Because like when they realize one of the werewolves is part of the team or whatever, like there's a werewolf attack in their base, which kind of just looks like hallways on the Death Star. Yeah. It's these dark Star Wars corridors. It's really cavernous. And like clearly these dogs aren't allowed to have apartments in any city. Like no way, no way you give it a dog a lease.

Can you imagine like bringing groceries home? There's just a fucking dog putting the key in the door next door. Hey, how's it gone? I'd shit my pants. No, yeah, no, thank you. Also, they don't mention it. But we've got to finish the thought about the... No, no, no.

I will finish the thought about the drinking off. But I just... Another question to put out there because we don't get it, and maybe this is the Road Rovers fans can tell us, is their home base called the dog house? Oh, that's a good idea. That's just my only question.

But so... It's like nighttime in the doghouse, right? Everyone's going to bed. Some of them are sleeping, but like the Arnold dog, the Doberman Pinscher, is taking a shower. Yeah. And he's like, get ready to go in the shower.

And he's dancing around. And he's just like, I am so sexy. Oh, look at me. me. I would like to go out with myself. Oh, yeah, it's so great. And he's like naked. Like, because all the dogs, aside from Shag, are clothed. Yeah, yeah. So, like, this dog is considering himself naked. And he's, like, got a towel on. He's like, now it's time to get in the shower. I'd love to shower with myself as well. And he's just like, he kisses his body. Like, he's like, oh, I love to kiss my biceps and kiss my shoulder. Oh, time to go in the shower. And it's like, what's going on? I've been stretching out. So I've been stretching out. so I can kiss all other parts of my body if you get my drift mirror. I mean, he's a fucking dog.

What do dogs do but lick their own genitalia? Look, I'm not trying to do this, everybody. If you've turned off the episode, good on you. But, like, I didn't make this cartoon. No, adults did. Like, I paid lots of money to create this nonsense. I mean, whatever. They go to Stonehenge at the end for some reason.

Whatever the fuck ever. Yeah. Well, actually, that's awesome. So the whole time the Russian dog thinks that he's the werewolf because he got bit and, like, scratched up and whatnot. You call that a red herring these days. Oh, yeah, that's right. Oh, he's the McGuffin of this. So they get to Stone.

And the whole time, he's just been like, oh, legend of werewolf from my people, this, that, and the other thing, right? So they're flying to Stonehenge. Between the team of five dogs, they're taking two helicopters, do massive helicopters. shaped like dogs Well, of course. Dogs, I mean, like, planes shaped like birds make sense because birds can fucking fly

and they're aerodynamic. Dogs aren't aerodynamic. Four fucking pegs that are just, the legs, they don't move. Make a fucking tank look like a dog if you really have to. Yes, exactly. So they fly in,

taking way too much transportation to get there. And they see, they're like, oh, they're at Stonehenge, and they're all gathering around. And this Russian dog is like, According to Legend of My People, this is part of their life cycle where they select King and Queen of the Werewolves. You're like, what the fuck are you talking about?

King of the Werewolves. And why would your legends have Stonehenge in them, you Russian dog? You're a fucking Siberian dog legend. I don't understand it. He talks about his people, like, what, dogs? I mean, clearly you're not getting folklore because you couldn't read until you were transformed into this fucking creature. Right.

Well, I mean, I guess the oral storytelling tradition of these Siberian huskies is as such that, you know, they're passing down this legend of werewolves or something. And so, like, Colleen is going to be the queen of the werewolves. Sure. So they're trying to, like, stop this. The scientist dog hypothesizes that if you take swamp water and werewolf saliva, and put it on a ball and then, like, of course it's a tennis ball because it's the dogs.

Yeah, sure. It's fun. And you, like, hit these dogs with it. It'll reverse the curse. So they've got, like, a Nerf gun with tennis balls. And it works. Sure. It works really fast. I mean, like, this show is, like, half dog puns, half action, and that's it.

Yeah, I mean, the dog puns are kind of obnoxious. Like, when one of the dogs is like, we got to get out of here, you know, this something's going down. And Hunter is, like, play dead, whoever. And it's like, shut up. He's like, we're not leaving without Colleen, so play dead. As in, like, don't go anywhere. Like, shut up.

Do you really want me to play dead? I'm not really sure because when I hear that as a dog, I know what that command is, but as a human being person, now I know what sarcasm is. Yeah. So I'm living in hell right now. Yeah, like, I'm sitting here trying to figure out if you're giving me a dog command

or if you're just making a pun because we have a phenomenal grasp of the English language now. you know no one should have made this like I mean great tip I just feel like it was a bad idea from the get go also 1996

I mean the turtles were over yes when was that third movie that must have been like 94 maybe even maybe a little earlier because like the turtles was it was like the 80

88 to like 93 tops yeah and then like we moved on but the the turtle knockoffs last longer like Remember the Mighty Ducks That's another nightmare Of like humanity gone mad That's a

That's well one I think Weren't they aliens Oh were they aliens I thought they might be aliens From another planet That'd be fun That had uniforms that were the color Of the Anaheim Mighty Ducks

Which was a team Born out of a Disney movie And that whole thing Was a mess I mean now like The Anaheim They drop the mighty. They don't have anything to do

with that horse shit anymore. But like, what a weird time. What a confusing time to be a human being watching garbage cartoons in America. Yeah, because, yeah, that's an onion. When you think about it, it's a cartoon based on a hockey team that's based on a Disney movie.

Yeah. And then, plus aliens. There is that, Biker Marks from, so was Finn Diesel on that show? Biker Mice from Mark? Did he not do a voice on a cartoon show at some point or no? That, you got me there. Oh, no, I thought he did. Maybe not.

I think that might be on Frank Welker's territory. Nobody talks that deep. I'm Frank Melker. I could do either dog voices or talk extra deep. Dr. Kahl. Oh, right. God damn it. The man was just everywhere. Is he Dr. Klaw on the new show, that Netflix show? I would wager.

I mean, like, what's he doing aside from every? thing. So yeah, he's got the time. Man, I'd love to take a look at Frank Welker's, like, weekly schedule. Oh, my God, it must be packed. Just working nonstop. Like, Frank Welker is a guy who appreciates the miracle that is the work weekend.

Thank God for the weekend. Oh, yeah, dude. He's like blowing a whistle in his home recording studio, and he's yabba-dabooing right into Friday night. Are you kidding me? Frank Welker loves a good weekend. Oh, man. You think he goes down to whatever, like, bar

the voice actors go into and he's like oh man murderous week right guys yeah oh by the way that bar is definitely called zanies just gonna make a wager about that so were you embarrassed watching this not as much as i should be really in like talking about it now like in the cold light of day yeah like this is a it's a terrible idea for a show and it's uh not very funny It's confusing as it's as far as its motivations. Yeah, so I don't know. I guess I was embarrassed, but I wasn't sitting there. I guess because it was so stupid.

Yeah. It was so stupid that to a degree I was like, this is kind of like fun to watch because it's so fucking dumb. Yeah, it gets there. Like it's a one and done episode thing. Like if you're like out there being like, what the hell is this? Go find it. Watch one episode and be like, oh, wow, that was terrible and be done.

Yeah. You know what I mean? And I was a little embarrassed because, again, I did watch a little bit of this. It was just sort of like, you know, I'm just kind of hanging out on a Tuesday. Right. And Batman just ended. What else they offering me here? See, that was the problem. You know, you had in the 90s, like, they strategically placed like good cartoon, bad cartoon. And then good cartoon again. So it's like, well, it's only 20 minutes. Where am I going? Yeah, exactly. I'll watch that toy commercial again for sure.

Yeah. You know, there's no point. And putting on a Nintendo game, it's not like we can save it or anything. I'm just going to have to start over, you know? So, yeah, that's what this show was, you know, like your sliders of the world. Sliders? Oh, yeah, like after the X-Files before the news? Yeah, yeah. Well, I think I did not sliders come before?

And it was like, well, I'm already here. I'm here a little early for the X-Files. I guess I'll take in a sliders. Because, I mean, again, this is, I mean, cable existed, but not as much. And, like, you know, the internet wasn't there. Like, you were just in front of your TV. Yeah, totally. Oh, yeah.

I don't think this is a thing where I'll, like, venture out and see another one. No, no, it's a one and done. And I don't think we'll be doing another episode on the Road Rovers, unless there's a real seminal one that we missed. Yeah, I think, you know, maybe one where they, like, tackle racism in America. Oh, yeah, that'd be important. You know, something like that. A budget surplus, maybe.

I mean, because, listen, these are, like, politically motivated dogs. Maybe the OJ trial, possibly? It's 95, 96. Oh, man. That would be kind of perfect. The Siberian, oh, no. I didn't kill my wife. Like, what?

There's also a record that he was abusing her. How does that work? The Siberian Husky would definitely be driving a Toyota Tundra. That's animation damnation. On a show called Road Rovers, the episode was A Hair of the Dog that bitch you you can find it on daily motion dot com until they shut that site down

what are they going down no man that thing seems really illegal so until next time i'm andrewing steven step it take it easy
