36:04That's crazy Bad idea? Semicolon by the way We can call it something else No it's a half colon I know but we can get the colon We don't have to call it a colon either Because we know what a colon is I also hate that they call the three dots an ellipsis Just call it like What three dots? Where it's like at the end of a sentence Where it'll be like dot dot dot That's called an ellipsis? Ellipsis yeah I did not know that You didn't know that? No, I thought ellipses was like weather. That's an eclipsy. No, not an eclipses. Like, what's the other one? Like an ellipsy is just like a cute little eclipse.

36:40Yeah, no, no, no. Like a little one. A little baby. Oh, look at that little ellipsy up there. No, what's the other one? The solstice. That's a season. That's like a time for like the year. Yeah, it felt like all those words were similar, so I thought they all kind of meant the same thing. Well, there's summer solstice and there's the winter solstice. Thank you for listing out two. That's all that there is. I know, but I thought that ellipses. Because then there's the fall and the spring equinox, right? Right. I know. What is that? What is it? It's a cool gym. Right, yeah. It's an expensive gym.

37:16It's an expensive gym and it's a time of the year. Right, but does it have to do with the moon? I believe it has to do with the tilting of the earth and the angle at which the moon and the sunlight hits us. so yeah sure so naturally yeah yeah yeah yeah i think it's like it also has to do with like the tropic of like cancer and like the there's you never heard of the tropic of cancer i'm saying you were on the right track i was just giving you your wait so that was bewilderment at how i actually knew this i was just giving you props wait the tropic of cancer what does it do oh that part i don't know i was talking more about the tilts and then i started to lose me the earth This is the, what's it called?

37:56It revolves. This is solstice? Yeah. We're solstice. Solstice. Right. And then what's equinox when she's got her thing up? Equinox is when it's in the middle. Oh. Equin. Equa. Oh, so when she's straight up, she's equinoxing. But when she's tilting, she's solstice. Yeah, she's solstice. She's like slouching. It's like when the earth slouches. Correct your posture. Equinox. Right. You know? But for the most part, we're solstice. We're solstice. We're solstice. Is that right? Did we get that right? can you read i don't know so yeah so i'm trying because the earth revolves around the sun it also rotates on an axis correct and it tilts up and down like this which is like how this is a joke we're just we're this is not even a joke we're doing yeah we're doing this in space and everyone's just like by the way by the way fast yeah dude i mean fast in the grand scheme of things slow for us speed is relative my friend but like i know but like how can we not feel well because it's going slow into us but fast to other things to speed fast error to speed i heard that if the if the earth stopped spinning everything would just go flying probably or i mean it's like being in a car that you hit the brakes yeah i think they like the speed is like slam my brakes yesterday very scary really yeah i was coming home from uh my brother's house all right it's i mean you're okay right you're good if something bad happened i would have heard about it i'm hurt now are you yeah you had a slam on the brakes of our friendship and the whiplash just broke your heart yeah i'm gonna send you through the windshield right now slam one of the fucking brakes.

39:46I was going to ask, do you know how fast the Earth is moving around the sun? How would you like me to answer? In miles per hour, please. Wouldn't matter. I don't know. I think probably like 400 ,000 miles an hour. Well, around the sun, we got to think about it takes 365 days and we need to know the distance. He's going to say a lot of stuff and then not have an answer. It's like a couple hundred thousand miles, right? Give an answer. I said 400. 400 miles per hour. No, 400 ,000. Got it. I'm saying it's like distance, eight minutes for light to hit us from the sun. You know you're not doing math.

40:23I'm trying. Let me do math. Math porn. It's like, tell me what a summation is and I'll show you my nipples. I don't even know what that is. Exactly. You'll get there one day. Give an answer. I would say 782 miles per hour. 67 ,000 miles per hour. Yeah, okay. I was off and he was well. I'll tell you what, though. Around 400 ,000 miles per hour, our entire galaxy is moving. Where's it going? Our solar system. It's expanding. It's an ever, everything is expanding. No, no, sorry. You've never heard of the Doppler? I know that, but you're saying we're moving, we're also going? Our entire solar system, including Earth, is orbiting in the center of the Milky Way at about 400 ,000 to 500 ,000 miles per hour.

41:12Fast. That's fast, brother. That's so fast. And the Milky Way is also moving through the universe at about 1.3 million miles per hour. What is happening to us right now? We're flying right now. Shut the fuck up with all this stuff. Like, I hate— That fast? I hate—listen, I love Neil deGrasse Tyson. I think he's a cool dude. he's well spoken love his vest game okay but like to make this a thing you learn about life and like want to tell people about shut up the milky way great name great great name for a galaxy delicious i think that we should name all the scientific stuff after chocolate bars i'm not yes cosine i mean yeah absolute cosine i'm with you there but then we have like andromeda what is that i mean Yeah, it's a pretty cool name.

42:03Stop, stop, stop. It reminds me of like... I don't like it. It reminds me of like a... Like a... See? Like a bad, like, you know, like cyber bad guy from like a video game. You know what I mean? Okay. You know what I mean. Andros. That's who I'm thinking of from Star Fox. Can you look up the names of galaxies? Yes, we can. Then they get boring after that. It's like, oh, there's Centauri. And it's like... Centauri? That sounds like a Japanese one. It might be, honestly. the name can't be a japanese galaxy frank why can't there be they would have their own you only want white galaxies joe no i'm just saying like it's not it's just a it's a no like they can name it and be like we named it first does so this is like someone names this is a real question now does every country recognize that this is called the milky way galaxy or do that's a great question look up what the galaxy is called in other languages because we call it the Milky Way because we're fat Americans.

43:04But, like, do the Japanese call it, like, something cooler? I thought you were going to say something. I'm glad you didn't. But that's not, like, do the Japanese people have a different name for the Milky Way? I think whatever you look it up as, Joe needs to try to pronounce it. They don't. They call it the Milky Way? No, they don't. So, in Chinese, it's called the Silver River. Whoa, dude. That's a great name. That is a really good one. The Silver River? That's a good one. What does Russia call it? Wait, why did he say they don't and then gave us an example of them doing it? No, they don't call it the Milky Way.

43:40No, they don't call it the Milky Way. Oh, gotcha, gotcha, gotcha. I only have a few here. I'll try to find it. But in Finnish, it's called the Path of Birds. That's not bad because, you know, you kind of see it. It looks like birds. No, but I mean, we're city folk, so we hate birds. I mean. If they were like this, what is it? The Parade of Birds? the sorry the path of birds if it was like the path of dragons i'd be like wait so japan calls it the silver like china china china calls it the silver river that's that's so good it's a good name that is so good in hindi it's the ganges river of heaven i think that's the real river okay see that's a good one too river of heaven it's up there sure yeah yeah yes sanskrit the divine way love that what is sanskrit is that like a i don't know i'm not i'm not gonna ask because i don't want to come off as imagining that i don't like i don't want people to think i don't know what that is let me let me appear like i'm smarter than i am yeah dude sanskrit and the kalari people the backbone of the night is it the backbone of the night yeah i mean kind of because when you look at the night you could always find its backbone in the middle and it's the stars and that's all no sense yo i can't tell you how unreasonably excited i got the other night when i found the little dipper i was like oh you have you been outside that's an easy one to find i know but that's why i'm saying unreasonably excited bro i went through a time in my life where for some reason so many people kept going that's orion's belt to like any three stars you could find well it's the it's and that's an easy one to find it's the middle one is the north star isn't it i don't know i mean i don't really know what the north star there's a binary galaxy damn non-binary galaxy yo come on that's awesome be more you know i'm sure there are people in the south they're like i'm not calling it fireworks galaxy okay clearly i see that we let a four-year-old yo we talked about this recently sombrero galaxy we talked about joey's pissed about that one we talked about this recently i love this andromeda cool cartwheel sucks hoag's object that just sounds like yo we talked about this like a year ago not even maybe like three months ago i don't even remember i think we did you know yeah because i remember you looking it up and being like whoa some of these are cool i'm jogging back now black eye galaxy but what do they call them in other countries like other countries that have cooler names for things like germany what is Germany call the galaxy wait hold on now that now that we've found out that like other countries don't acknowledge like the Milky Way what do they acknowledge like do like because they probably named it before like the planets do they call the planets different shit or did we decide what the point like oh that's a good you know what look up what I just want to know what Japan calls the planets I'd like to know what Japan calls everything I think I think the planets might be one that might be more universally because like has to be earth no i would imagine earth is just earth but like i could see them like it's like the planets are universal but like because those you had to like use like intense i keep saying like and people are gonna get pissed at you had to use intense like imaging in order to see them so like those came later and everyone was just like okay all right we we know the planet yeah before when they could just see the galaxy yeah i'd never even thought of this until now this is the most they would have other names this is the most intense like searching of stuff that and has had to do yeah and hasn't done this since like the s.a.t what i'm trying to look up they're they're all for the planets it's all close to the name just in their language oh okay you know it's like it's still yeah that's that's that makes sense but like not as vastly different as the milky way with all those other but and also Oh, by the way, this is crazy.

47:37All of our planets are named after Roman gods. Are they? Yeah. Mars, Jupiter, Venus, Saturn, Uranus. You're naming the planets. Those are Roman gods. Yeah. So the fact that ancient Romans were just like, yo, that's Jupiter. That's the whatever number it is. It's just like, how the hell, dude? How the fuck did they know that was up there? Listen, I'm telling you right now. How the fuck did they know about that? I would have been stoned and killed because I'd just be like, yo, you all are, I'd go back with the time and the knowledge and be like, yo, you guys are idiots, dude. Let me show you a phone.

48:16I'd bring a like Nintendo Switch with me and I would ruin their lives. Nate Bargatze has a great bit about if he went back in time, even if he had a cell phone, he'd be like, I don't know that I would change anything. Cause I, or he would, he was like, oh, you know, now with the phones, like now they have a cell phone, you have it in your hand. They'd be like, how do they do it? And he's like, I don't know. I don't want to do his bit for him, but he has this really funny bit about that, which is true. If you went back in time, how would you even... Well, I heard the thing, the one line I heard was, if you brought a motorcycle to the Middle Ages, they'd learn how to use it, but they wouldn't be able to replicate it because they don't have the technology.

48:55And that's the same thing with a gun. But you'd be the motorcycle guy. Yang, yang. Here he comes. There's ye olde asshole Frank. Yeah, exactly. You know, douchebag. There were no roads. There were dirt roads, brother. They had wagons. They had to walk. They would make roads with their feet. That a motorcycle could last on, maybe. Depends what kind of tires you get on there. I'd bring a dirt bike. I'll tell you this. Yes. I'd bring a dirt bike back to the Middle Ages. One flat tire, suddenly not so cool. I would bring an AK-47 back to the Revolutionary War. That would win the war. If I'm just like, yo, George.

49:36Who's George? Washington. Oh, oh. The Revolutionary War. The George at the time. The George. The George. Yeah. Boy, do I have something for you guys. You don't need to march and play flutes to go and fight them. Sit right here and just press one button and win the war. They had guns, too. Yeah. It took them 40 minutes to shoot two rounds, dude. Yeah. It'd be like, all right, set up, fire, and the fucking bullet would end up over there. And then they'd be stuffing this thing with like feathers and powder and shit like that. Dude, I'd like to shoot a musket at some point in my life. Wouldn't you?

50:13My father-in-law wants a black powder rifle. Or he has one. What is that? Where you pour the powder, the gunpowder. Hell yeah. Now we're talking. I want to shoot in this thing, light up like an old camera. Just like. Yeah, like smoke everywhere. Just like explodes in your face. Yeah. You just want this thing just blasting you.

52:26don't don't i'm not what do you be honest first of all i know how you feel about public toilets you'll crap your pants before you go to a public toilet i mean i'll only use them in an emergency yes if you walked in and you saw a qr code gatekeeping toilet paper let's let's be very honest about something it's me hello i'm in china i won't notice that this thing isn't available until I am already done crapping. Oh, well, yeah. Because who thinks of the toilet paper during the crap? It's always at the back end. Yeah, I'll never know. You? You think about... Oh, yeah, he's a bird. He nests his shit.

53:01Oh, yeah, he, like, folds it up and, like, kisses it and puts a wax stamp on it before he wipes his fucking ass with it. No, no, no. He, like, throws, like, sticks and dirt into the toilet and then he shits on it and then he... And then, yeah. Wait, what? No, he throws, like, toilet paper in the toilet. So he craps on top of... So you're... Yeah. He makes a nest. He's like a bird. Hold on, hold on, hold on. You're like a bird. A little birdie. He throws toilet for what? Because there's no splash. No splash. Yep. It prevents the splash. So you get a little... That's where... Guess where toilet water is supposed to be, if not in the bowl.

53:36A sprinkle or two on your ass, asshole. I don't really agree with what you're saying. I don't know if that's a good argument. I think there's better arguments to make, like, hey, how about your plumbing? Some sacrifices are willing to make. Also, also, your crap is above water now. It's really not that much. Your crap is above water, so it stinks. No, it goes through. You're going to tell me you've never crapped and heavy are your poops? It's just not, they're not that light. You're dropping dense logs? Yeah, dude. It could go through the paper. I fucking hate this conversation. I hate this. I didn't think that my bird nesting was going to come up.

54:13I meant more like when you go to a public stall, you need to check if there's even toilet paper there. I don't do that. The expectation is... Do you mind? Do you mind?

54:30If I'm going to a public bathroom, I am there with one thought on the mind, and it is... I hope no one hears this. Hurry. Hearing. People don't give a fuck about hearing in public toilets. You will take a dump as loud as you can? First of all, I'm there for business. I'm not thinking about noises. I am. I'm not one of those people that's just like, ah! That's not what I mean. I mean, when you go to the bathroom, sometimes there's noises. I will try to prevent that at all costs. How? You squeeze your little asshole? Yeah. Too much? Yeah, that's true. That's what I will do. Seriously? Yeah, yeah.

55:09That's crazy. You just got to, like, I mean, I'm not sitting there fucking, it's not, it doesn't sound like a gun show in my stall. Well, I'm not saying it sounds like that. Sometimes, you know, there's. So you're going in and you're just praying that it doesn't sound like a World War II reenactment? Well, it's not. Well, like I said, I only use public restrooms when it's, like, an absolute emergency. So, like, I'll try to avoid them. Absolute emergency is my middle name, baby. Yeah. I don't have a choice. But, like, you know, that's why it's, like, I'm not going in there, you know. you're looking around you're enjoying the wallpaper and then you're taking a dump like i'm there and i have to go now so yeah i i could i could imagine but this if it was you had like half or like single ply and then if you wanted like the cotton ale some some upgraded shit like upgraded toilet paper then i could understand it it's like those like the phone like the ads on your phone where it's just like you get another life and jet pack joyride if you watch a 30 second ad of the king on king's watch or whatever it's called you know what i'm saying yeah you know or it's just like you know i hate those ads but that i would understand i do want to say this before we continue those ads during like phone games where they're purposefully purpose for for

56:37purposefully losing the game. Yeah. And I'm like, I could play this so much better. It makes you download it. I know that you fucking scientists out there. You know what you're doing, you bitches. You psychologists are like, if you make it, if you play it bad, they'll want to play it good. It'll be like a bow. It'll be like a stick and stone. And it'll be like advance a thousand years or minus 10 years. And they'll be like, oh, oh, minus 10 years. And then it turns into a sperm. Yeah. What is that about? And then I fucking hate you guys. And also, I'm pretty sure, don't ask me why, but I'm pretty sure that's Russia that's making all those, okay?

57:09I'm pretty sure, don't ask me why, I have no grounds to stand on. Right. But this is a safe space to talk, okay? I downloaded one of those games once where it was just like, you know, like advanced or like times for the amount of people in your little gang. Yeah, yeah. Or like the ones where it's like the zombies are running down this way and you have to like shoot them. Yeah, and there's one big one just walking. I downloaded that game And then I immediately It was just like Agree to their terms of licenses I deleted it Because I was like This is Russia Don't ask me how or why What's Russia gonna do Well you know what Fucked me up Do you remember that app That one summer It was like 2016 Or 2019 It went mega viral And it was like an app Where you can like Show what you would look like As an old person Or like show Yeah yeah yeah And then someone was just like This is Russia I think that was China China I was just TikTok is China TikTok So I was just burnt from there I mean Everything is China and Russia.

58:03They can have my information. What am I going to do? I mean, it's all out there anyways. That's what I mean. Everyone knows of Joe Sanagato. And they know you. They know more you than me. Numbers don't lie. So if anyone, Russia's coming for you first, and then me second. Damn. They'd probably be pumped with you. They'd be like, you could stay. We like you. Thank you. You can hang out with Vladimir. Take your shirt off. Take your shirt off. What were we talking about before I got into that? The toilet paper. Oh, before we got into the ads. I mean, like, before the ad conversation about those games, the game ads.

58:36Well, I was talking about, like, if you had to watch an ad for, like, better quality toilet paper. I would. I would do that. I think that we should eliminate the first and second tier of toilet paper and just go with the better ones now. Like, there's no reason for me to be anywhere in a toilet. Yeah, but, like, what is. I don't understand why but like you have to spend money on toilet paper like it seems like it is a basic sanitary need I mean people are you know they have to be paid the ones who are making it that should be a government subsidiary like that should be they should be funded for like general hey man I know I know I know I know I know I know but I'm saying like the way that like can you use like snap benefits or is it ebt yeah snap and snap and ebt right i assume can you use that for toilet paper i assume i would we don't need to look that up i mean i i would hope because like that's a basic sanitary need yeah i just don't see the uh i don't see why we need very thin toilet paper in this world dude i know that some are like all right this is like i'm wiping my ass with a tempur-pedic blanket here this is crazy there's some uh this is tiktok account and it's this guy and he's like these are little luxuries they're luxuries that are like a couple they're more expensive but they're not like hyper luxury things good toilet paper is one of those things that i just can't bro i grew up with my mom getting scott's toilet paper no offense to scott's you're doing a good thing you're making it cheaper for people that need it but i could literally hold it and see through it that's what i mean like i'm wiping my ass with fucking tissue wrapping yeah i gotta i gotta crumble this thing up like i'm making it if i can put it over a picture in a fucking coloring book of tweety bird and draw it perfectly then we got a problem we have an issue here you know are you scots you scots i actually think i have scots in my apartment too they make them like now like ribbed for your pleasure and shit like you gotta you got some here that's got some squiggles in it and stuff like that none of them are ribbed no they have ribbed toilet paper ribbed ribbed ribbed brother show him ribbed toilet do you like it i've used it and it kind of does its job i mean you think about like the the reason that we're able to pick up goods and items what does it feel like though it feels like it's like gripping my asshole like and you like it well just because it does a good job yeah but i don't like it because oh you think i'm sitting there fucking fingering my ass on the toilet i'm not i'm not i'm saying you're wiping I don't know no it's like that's why we have ridges and fingerprints because that's what helps us grip if it's completely smooth it's gonna fucking fly off your bung off your bung look at yeah sharp it's a sharp oh I've used that before I mean yeah it's not like ribbed no brother that is ribbed that's just paper towels it's really more this one right yeah that's the rib yeah I've used that before that's what I'm talking about I got some of that industrial shit because when I worked on my college campus, it was like the toilets in the dorm rooms were like industrial.

1:01:54They had like the industrial holder. Yeah. So like you could buy your own, but then they had the ones that it's like the big plastic one that like you have to like open with a key and put in a roll that's this big. Oh, those were horrible. I mean, they did their job though, brother. I know, but I don't like that. I still have a roll of them. I took like eight when I left college 10 years ago and I still have like one left. no throw out no why would i throw it out it's a perfectly good roll of toilet paper being able to hoard a piece of toilet paper a roll of toilet it is in my car right now in your car yeah god forbid i go somewhere they don't have toilet paper i i'm prepared that's insane why is that insane and you also moved it from your old car to your new car so you have a new car did you do that at the dealership before you gave your car and like hold on let me get this giant roll of toilet paper no i did it at my house have you used the toilet paper not in like six seven years i mean that's oh that's not true i i spilled i told you that day i came in and i had a big stain on my shirt because of burger king yeah i used it then got it you know but no i haven't like wiped my ass is it like in your back seat oh it's on my like you know how like you could see out your rear view mirror and you see out the back windshield yeah it's It's right behind, it's right on there where the headrest is, like behind the headrest.

1:03:18What? Behind your head in the car? Yep. Is a roll of 10-year-old toilet paper that you stole from college? Stole is, they gave it to me. Right. The janitorial staff gave it to me. So if I'm sitting in your car and I'm sitting behind the driver's seat, I am four inches away. From getting knocked out with industrial grade toilet paper, yes. That is correct, sir. That's so funny. That's so crazy. I mean, it's like the people that always carry baby wipes on them. Very different. I don't think that's different at all. Industrial grade roll of toilet paper. What is the difference in what the item physically is?

1:03:57What is the difference? More practical use. I think one of those. I mean, significantly. And one's portable. That is fair. Re-sealable. That is fair. But you don't need to seal dry paper. You need to seal those because they're moist. Moist towelette. Moist towelette. Oh, there's a certain select of pick-me's that watch our episode. They're just like, oh, moist. You know what I don't get at, like, nice restaurants and, like, on Delta flights? Oh, it's such a little luxury. They're like, here's your hot towel. Your steaming hot towel. They got hot towels on Delta. Hot towels on Delta. Listen, I'm a United boy.

1:04:33I fly United all the time. They got some hot towels. Really? What are they doing? They're cushiony, and they're thick. And these things come out and it's... You put it on your face? I do a little. I put it on my cheek sometimes. I'm too afraid to cover my face. I do... You do that? Oh, yeah. That feels crazy. It feels awesome. But think about how many people have used that towel. Me. That's why they steam them, to sanitize them, you fuck. I know. You fuck. I know, but I'm just thinking about so many people have this on their face. Yeah, but they've been sanitized. Sure, sure, sure. It's like they are good.

1:05:10They're basically new for what I'm using them for. But, like, why do I need my hands hot? I don't know. The first time that happened to me, I was, like, 16 years old at Yankee Stadium. And I went to the New York Yankee Steakhouse. And I was there, and I was just like, oh, my God. And someone – I sat in, like, a big leather chair to eat dinner, which was crazy. Yeah, it was. At the time. What are you, Goldilocks? And then they gave me, like, a hot towel like that. and I felt so like what do I do yeah you know I felt so like when you go when you have like your first fancy restaurant uh and like those types of experiences it's you know you kind of fuck it up I remember one time I was at a restaurant and and they I ordered a steak and they brought it over and they were just like look yeah before they cooked it I was like I don't know.

1:06:00That's the thing. I remember that happened at, in Vegas when we were, we were like 23 in Vegas and they were like, we brought over the cart of steaks to show you all the cuts. And I was just like, this is awesome, dude. Yeah. I, at that point in my life, I was like steak. And then I like went to like Texas roadhouse and I was like, Oh, that one has great marbling Texas roadhouse. I'll take the second one from the bottom Texas roadhouse the guy's like okay dude yeah the guy's like just point and tell me yeah yeah you know yeah i love those little luxuries that like nice like that's obviously a huge perk of like us going to these cities for these shows we get to eat at some really good restaurants and like the little like you know like i went to a wine tasting once and they gave you the little like things to suck on to like cleanse your palate you ever had that what little thing it's like a little oyster it looks like an oyster cracker and like the idea is you're supposed to put it in your mouth and like suck on it and it cleanses your palate so you're ready for the next round of wine i've never experienced that at all a lot of people do like uh sorbets sorbets like a raspberry sorbet or something like that prefer a little cracker you prefer a cracker for a cracker daddy wants a cracker jesus speaking of i don't know why this is speaking of i sent aunt a quiz because i got i know it's very confusing that it led here but i saw captain crunch and i stared at the box for five minutes and i was like yo that's not captain crunch it looked fake to me so i i sent they rebranded him i sent aunt one of those like mandela effect quizzes oh okay the reason i got me there is because it's the parrot daddy want a cracker captain crunch got it got it got it so i want to just test how many of us can act like what we could do i bet you i do well at this by the way i'm looking at this picture of captain crunch and i would love some dude captain crunch is coming back because they're getting rid of all the fake dyes and shit like that your your hero rfk jr really like kind of like set us he set us forward with some stuff i mean that by your own words i love captain crunch but i can here's the thing i can have three bowls of fruity pebbles i can only have one box one bowl of captain crunch because my mouth comes out like someone took a cheese grater and face fucked me i don't even fucking care dude sign me up for two really in half yeah so what is it is it captain crunch or cap 'n crunch it is very clearly cap 'n crunch like very clearly like not no cap 'n no it was never captain like yo you're skibbity cap 'n right now I don't know why they went with this, like why they decided to do that.

1:08:42Also, what's with the Quaker Oats guy on the fucking other box? That's probably who owned it. I could see Captain Crunch was like when they first came out in like the 70s. It's like, this is Captain Crunch. Yeah, I don't get it. Why Captain Crunch? But that's clearly it. Okay, good, good, good. You got it good. I'm surprised. We're fine. What is Jigsaw's signature line in the Saw movies? See, this is the... I did for a second think this was all about cereal because of the lineup. Yeah, no, no, no. Also, he has a name. I know, and don't... Oh, Jigsaw's the old guy. Jigsaw's the old guy. That is like Bethany or some shit like that.

1:09:2384 % sure it's Billy. I think it's Billy the Puppet. Yes, you are correct. Speaking of puppets. Oh, we're back on puppets. That was another episode. Oh. Scroll down. I want to play a game do you want to play a game want to play a game how many of these movies have you seen realistically one two I've seen all of them which is the one with the not me but someone fell into a pit of syringes yeah that's the second one that was Amanda who was thrown in by I believe Frankie hey that's fine I think it's the first movie I got kicked out of trying to sneak in and see Saw 2 2004 how far did you get 30 seconds Is it I wanna play a game?

1:10:04I think it's do you wanna play a game It's definitely not wanna It might be cause he's kinda He's kinda a little badass Billy He's like yo listen you wanna fucking play? You fucking douchebag You think it's do you want? I think it's do you wanna play a game? Wanna play a game? It might be wanna Wanna wanna wanna play a game with Billy the puppet? I think this is like a fucking Star Wars thing You remember when the line Well that one I know inside and out No I am your father Which is shocking, but I think I'll go with Frank for the sake, but I think it's I want to play a game for some reason. I want to play a game.

1:10:39No, because they're asking the person if they want to play. He's asking the person. So what's the – Do you, do you, do you. Do you? I think it might be want to play a game. All right, we're getting this wrong. But want to play a game. Want her? I fucking knew it. I knew it. All right, all right. Uh-oh. It was I want to play a game. All right, I should probably rely on Joey's skills here. Love Saw movies. I had that in the locked. Really? Yep. Which is the correct name of this correction fluid? This is wide out. Well, what are the answers? Also, that's the worst. Oh, it's ITE. I think the only.

1:11:17Which is both. No, no, no, no. The only way, the only reason I think it's WHITE is because that color looks more right than the color on the left. I agree with you. Or like orangey looks more correct than the yellow. I agree with you, but I'm like pretty sure it's W-I-T-E. I just got to say, Whiteout was, having cool Whiteout in elementary school was such a flex, dude. Yeah. If you had the one that had the sponge on it, or if you were one of the kids that had the tape, the tape sucks. The Whiteout tape sucks. Dude, the Asian kids always had the tape. They always had the tape. They always had the tape.

1:11:54Why did the Asian kids always have the fucking tape? Because they have cool, bro. Bro, you know they have like stationary awards in Japan? What does that even mean? It's like they give out awards every year to like the coolest stationary items. I've seen TikToks. The sponge? That is the fucking worst though. Yeah, and then it's like a red paintbrush. Yeah, you get like a raised bump on your page. It's like sickly. It's like bubbling up. Yeah, ew. My test has lupus. Get this sick fucking leprosy paper out of here. Leprosy is what I was going for, not lupus. That's a completely different thing. All right.

1:12:28I will defer to your choice here. I think it's W-H-I-T-E, but I'll defer to what Joey's saying. I think it's W-I-T-E. Give me that. Give me the tight, tight, tight. Yes! Good job. Very good job. Let's go. Let's go. I think I don't know why not. The color did look right, though. I was right about the color. Pick the correct target logo. Frank, I'm not even going to even look at the screen. Yeah. I mean, guys, it's the left. It's the left. It's the left one. We know that. It's the left. It's not even close. Come on. Yeah. Come on. Listen. Who the hell is picking the right? I spent more time in a Target than most humans on this planet.

1:13:01I'm not saying that as a flex. What is the actual airline? It's Alaska Airlines. Oh. Oh, or Alaskan. Oh. Alaska? I got to say, I don't know what it is about the name Alaska or Alaskan Airlines. I feel safer on their planes than I do anywhere else. Me too. I feel like the AC is really good. I feel like they've got it down because if a state has their own planes, they're onto something i'm gonna say alaskan airlines because of american airlines be honest if you saw airplane from a certain state which would be the scariest florida yeah okay at least we're in agreement there i'm gonna say alaskan alaskan airlines i think there are technically already is a florida airline it's called spirit Jesus I'm gonna say Alaskan I'll say Alaskan as well Come on, give it to me, baby This one feels like a trap And it was It was a trap Fuck you He was right Alaska It was right Alaska Airlines Alaska I guess so That's a tough one Which is the correct logo for the laughing cow?

1:14:11Oh, it's the nose, specifically I'll be honest with you I don't know what this is Oh, it's the Babybel cheeses, like the little cheeses that you open up. I love those, dude. Those are a nice little snack. Are these not the red wax? There's different brands. There's Laughing Cow and Babybel. Okay. I don't know if she's got a nose ring. I imagine PETA would be pissed about that. Did you hear PETA got pissed at Mario Kart? For what? Because the – yeah, don't get Ant started. If you go for his Mario Kart, he'll go for your jugular. So dumb. What is it? because the the cow in it's muumuu the cow in mario kart has that ring in its nose and it was like an inhumane way to like steer cows at the time oh it's pulling by their nose yeah that's why they have that yeah so they pita was just like yo better do better mario kart i then that makes me think that it has the nose ring that makes me think it doesn't but that was a new thing that just happened, no?

1:15:12Oh, I'm sure if they went after Mario Kart, there's someone else they've gone after before. PETA just goes for everyone. Alright, let's go no ring. I'll be honest, I'm not a fan of the gold scheme here, the gold color scheme. Me neither. I don't think anyone cares about your fanhood. You're gonna have to click. I promise. You're gonna have to click again? You're gonna have to probably... There we go! Told ya. I'm sure PETA was just like... The cheese lives another day. Where do you stand on Animal Rights laughing cow cheese? How do you spell this saint's name? Now that is Mother Teresa But there's an H or not?

1:15:44There's no H I think there's no H because she was Italian, right? Teresa She was something It was a Mama Teresa There's a lot of conspiracies about Mother Teresa, by the way Yeah, I'm not touching that with a 10-foot pole A 10-foot religious pole I'm gonna say no H Just like wide out I'll go with that, yeah, no H Come on, Mother Teresa Yeah, Mother Teresa Yeah, yeah what is the correct name of this entertainment center or restaurant i'm sad that you are definitely chucky cheese dude it's not chuck and cheese i'll no no no they both say chucky cheese it says chucky cheeses or chucky cheese oh yeah if it was like what's right chucky cheese or chunk and cheese i'm gonna say the left i'm gonna say the left because of the logo yeah the The logo is definitely right.

1:16:36I've never seen the logo on the right. And Chuck E. Cheese is like, that's his name. But this is Chuck E. Cheese's. He takes ownership. It's his place, dude. It's my cheeses. Like, it's Freddy Fazbear's, not Freddy Fazbear. Yeah. You know? That's a FNAF reference for the kids. I'm trying to get the younger generation into it. Our younger demo can get a little, get them in here. Let's talk FNAF. Let's talk, let's talk, let's talk Foxy and Chica. Okay. Okay? Let's talk Mr. What's his name? The Cupcake? Mr. Cupcake. I know Bonnie. Bonnie, obviously. Foxy, Chica. I don't even know what's happening here.

1:17:13You know. I know all this stuff because I'm cool with the FNAF crowd because my son has taught me. This one? Chuck E. Cheese's. Bang. This quiz fucking sucks. We're crushing it. I just want to say the two I was confident in were Target and Chuck E. Cheese's. What does that say about me? Right. What color of Tony the Tiger. Wait, what? What is the color of Tony the Tiger? The mascot. I mean, dude. What's the difference? How is there a different thing going on? Oh, the nose. Blue nose. I don't know. Wait a sec. I think it might be blue nose. They got to add a little pop. Yeah, blue looks. Because here's the thing.

1:17:49There's detail on that blue nose. Yeah. You can see the nostrils. That's why I think, listen, me and Tony Tiger. I love Frosted Blake. Honestly, they are great. It's just such a simple, like, yeah, dude. He's not beating around the bush. Tony the Tiger just do it they're great blue fucking nose also a tiger and a bandana just a cool image tigers awesome bandanas cool sugary cereal also cool Frosted Flakes also regarded as a top five all time we could argue blue nose yeah absolutely

1:18:24thank you aunt a couple clicks we're not gonna get another one wrong I think I'm pretty sure we do better than like the normal person on this fucking go does morpheus from the matrix say what if i told you i i probably shouldn't what what if i told you everything you knew it was a lie oh does morpheus say that does he say it oh i well this is going to be for you because i haven't seen the here's the thing yeah if they're asking if he says it then it's not that he says it that way it's that he says it another way like instead it wouldn't be like what if i told you everything you knew was a lie it would be like what if i said everything is a lie like that they would fuck with the wording like that yeah yeah so i think just playing the game here process of eliminate i think i'm gonna say no he doesn't say that and it's like no actually he says this yeah i agree it'll pop up and be like no he says what if i told you everything was a lie but he doesn't say whatever everything was not true yeah bang what does he say all those memes were a lie that wasn't even such a line in the movie.

1:19:27There you go. Oh, wow. There you go. What the fuck? Oh, there was just... That just wasn't... They just literally made it up. What does Henry VIII hold in his famous portrait? What the fuck? Fuck. Is this a good one? What is that? A turkey leg or gloves? What is that? Well, he's... Is that a maraca? He looks like a fat ass.

1:19:47So... Here's why I'm gonna say turkey leg. Because it was like... That's not a turkey leg, is it? It says turkey leg. Oh, shit. in the words here's the thing here's why i'm gonna say turkey leg being it was a status thing to have money and be fat back then that meant you had access to food and you were wealthy yep so i think it's a turkey leg i think i'm i think i'm going turkey leg too it just feels like the glove looks really good in this picture like it makes more sense yeah also this feels like a thing where they would put the glove, but then the people who make fun of them would put a turkey leg in there.

1:20:27Ah, that's a good point. Also, let's talk about the shadow below the turkey leg. It's not big enough, but it fits perfectly for the glove. That's what I'm saying. I feel like it's more believable that it would be gloves, though, so that's why I think it's a turkey leg. Yeah. This is an impasse, is what we call it in the news. Yeah. You're a newscaster now? I don't know. Turkey leg? Sure. It's like, God damn gloves! All right. We fell for the meme. The thing just says, why would he hold a turkey leg? What is the correct logo for Volkswagen? Oh, I know this one. Oh, I think it's the Gap. It is? I don't know.

1:21:05Yeah, it's the Gap. All right. I'll believe you. I believe you. It's definitely the Gap. It's 100 % the Gap. It's a Gap. Thank you. You 100 %ed that one. Yeah, 100 % the Gap. That's crazy. You got to have the Gap. What is the predominant color on Uncle Sam's hat? That's a fantastic question. I have to see. Oh, fuck. Ooh, ah, red. I want to say blue looks more natural, though. It does. By the way, I got to say, maybe at the time it worked, who is this working for nowadays? An old white man dressed like this pointing at me? I'm just immediately saying, fuck whatever you're about to say or ask me for.

1:21:45Yeah, like fucking, oh, Ebenezer Scrooge wants me to go to war? I don't give a fuck. Yeah, fuck you. Do you go to war, you scaly old bastard? Give me blue. Guy looks like Lemony Snicket. Definitely blue. Doesn't look like Lemony Snicket. You're thinking Count Olaf, Joey. Jesus Christ. I am thinking Count Olaf. I don't know who Lemony Snicket is. The creator, I think. He's the author of the books. All right, I'm thinking Count Olaf. It looks like Count Olaf. Give me blue, baby. Give me blue. Show me blue, baby. Yeah!

1:22:11I think we're going to do pretty well. What's the name of the singer? That is Barbara. Barbara Streisand. Barbara. Come on. First of all, hold on. Barbara or Barbara? It's not going to be Barbara like a bra. Bruh. It's Barbara. Barbara. No, I don't know. Yeah, it's Barbara. Unless she spelled her name wrong. Also, Becca and I bonded over this. I have the Barbara Streisand Christmas album. Fire. But it's also so chaotic. And I remember thinking it was funny. and then Becca was like, that was a joke with my family too. Soulmate. Soulmate. Just say that. Soulmates over Barbara Streisand. Hey, man.

1:22:55So you have the album. Do you remember her name on it? I want to say it's Barbara. Barbara. I think it's Barbara. It's got to be. Give me Barbara. What the hell, Barbara? People remember seeing Barbara on the album cover. Oh, they caught you. But it's definitely Barbara. That's crazy. She spelled it wrong. She spelled it out. Her parents. Her parents. What is the correct name of this peanut butter brand? Jif. It's Jif. It's Jif. It's Jif. It's Jif. It's not even close. It's not even. Yeah. It's not even. Yeah. Let's not get crazy. Come on, baby. How stupid do you think we are? We're going to run through this now.

1:23:33Does C-3PO have a silver leg? No. Absolutely not. Yeah, he does. No, he doesn't. If I remember. No, he does not. Isn't it red? His arm was red in a later movie. He has a silver leg. All right. Say yes. I believe Frank. I'm not confident in anything. My whole life is a lie now. I can't believe that. I would have never said that. Silver leg. Cruella DeVille. Cruella DeVille. Yeah, DeVille. She's like a French. She's got French. Yo, what a bitch, by the way. A fucking asshole bitch. Yo, like it's a kid's movie and this woman just wants to skin puppies. Like what's wrong with you, bro? How many coats do you need?

1:24:13Cruella DeVille. Also, yo. Man, point these. Yo, man. And then also they made like an origin movie for Cruella with Emma Stone. And they're just like, look, she was a victim. Bro, this bitch went on to want to skin puppies. Yeah, like I'm good on this. What are you doing, dude? Cruella, you're a bitch. Maybe look in the mirror and realize that half black and half white hair isn't cool. And that's why you're upset. Not the dogs. You know what show is so fire? I don't know if you watched it. Because you were more a Disney Channel kid than like a Cartoon Network kid, right? Yeah. Do you remember after school and like middle school?

1:24:49It was like we'd get home and it was recess, the show. Yeah, yeah. And then the next one was like the House of Villains. No. And it was like all like Disney villains like hanging out at like a jazz club. Like the fucking monster from Fantasia was in the corner like smoking a cigar. Nice. And Cruella de Vil was like having a cocktail with Gaston. Nice. It was a cool show. and then it got into like Even Stevens and you know like the cooler shows like That's So Raven but that was a cool show. That was the reason why you brought that up? Hmm? Oh. Love That's So Raven. It's uh it's the bottom one. Hey now what I say now about to put it down yeah come on and ride with the Rainhound and if the future looks gray now then everything gonna shake down and let's rock.

It's a great movie. That is a great movie. There's some questionable stuff in it, but you know what? It's still funny. 76 % which is passing in my high school. You know that. Just made it. Yeah, that was like B - in my high school, which told you what you wanted to know about Brian. Not bad. That's a pretty good memory that we have on us. I think I crushed that. There's so many of those examples. You brought up the Star Wars one.

1:26:11People think the line is, Luke, I am your father, where it's like, no, I am your father. Yeah. You know? It's just, you know, it's word of mouth. Things out of the hand. Yeah, there's so many examples of those things, especially with, like, movies and music and all that. Right, the Nelson Mandela effect, yeah. The Nelson. Why do they call it? I think it's named after him, if I'm not mistaken. Of all the things to name after him, why that? I don't want to be wrong on that, so we're going to have to look that up for sure. Yeah, not a lot of room for error when it comes to talking about activists.

1:26:42Why do they call it the Mandela effect? Because of false memory phenomenon surrounding the death of Nelson Mandela. Gotcha. I'm safe. Live to fight another day, folks.
