tag i still go by kioji today we finally get to talk about nintendo's favorite
mascot mario and we are also going to discuss why you believe that he is insane

(00:45):
yes he's insane he's He's an antisocial sociopath or antisocial personality.
Yes. Okay. All right. So, well, before we go down that road,
give a little backstory here.
So Mario was created by Shigeru Miyamoto.
Apologies if I mispronounce the name. He was a video game designer producer

(01:05):
and he is currently a director at Nintendo.
He helped design Mario alongside with Yoichi Kotabi, who is a Japanese animator
and a character designer.
You know, you are pronouncing those really well, by the way. I try, man.
You really are. Thank you. I try to dabble in a little bit of the language and
stuff like that. You actually pronounce those pretty well.

(01:27):
So, Mario, well, at the time, back in 1981, when he came out in the arcade for
the game Donkey Kong, he was a, I don't know, a side character.
Wasn't his own game yet. Side business Mario.
That's what we'll call him. His name wasn't Mario at the time.
He went by Mr. Video. Oh! Or he went by Jumpman.

(01:52):
So Donkey Kong was released in Japan July 9th of 1981.
Mm-hmm. And it's an arcade game. And it's made its way to America July 31st of 1981.
And this was Nintendo's first big hit in the States.
And it was the beginning of the Donkey Kong and Mario franchise.
He was originally a carpenter. And they made him a carpenter because the setting

(02:15):
of the Donkey Kong game was at a construction site in New York and,
Unique New York. Unique New York.
The name Mario comes from Mario Siegel, and he was Nintendo of America's landlord.
Interesting. Yes. Interesting. All right.

(02:36):
So, you're talking about Donkey Kong, Mario vs. Donkey Kong, right? Yes.
Or that would be the first Donkey Kong game? Yes, the first Donkey Kong game, yes. Yes.
So let's back it up a little bit. Now, let me, let me throw some facts in here real quick.
Now, mind you, this is, this is all speculation.
Some of the information I got from the game theorists, Matt,

(02:58):
Pat is the guy's name. They do have a YouTube channel. Check them out.
So I do want to give a bibliography was a bibliography of where I got some of
my sources from, but references.
Yeah so let's go into the game so donkey kong basically you you're are you mar
i think you're mar no is it it's mario vs donkey kong right or is it just donkey

(03:19):
donkey kong but you're using you're using jump man jump man yes yes okay mr
mr jump man we'll call him jump man for right now okay jump man jump man jump man.
So jump man's trying to get his girlfriend yes right who is at the time just goes by the name Lady.

(03:40):
Lady. We'll get into these facts in a little bit, too.
So, he's trying to get Lady from Donkey Kong, right? How many levels are there?
I think there was four levels. Four levels, climbing steel girders,
jumping over things, using a hammer to beat things up.
But what is the reasoning behind Donkey Kong actually stealing Lady from Jumpman?

(04:07):
Well, let's go back to the Game & Watch series, where Jumpman was actually the circus leader.
Circus leader? Yes, he ran a circus. Donkey Kong was the spectacle of it,
and he had to juggle pineapples while trying to avoid fireballs.

(04:33):
And then whenever he got hit with a fireball, Jumpman would laugh at him.
I mean, if you, I mean, you running, you taking care of animals,
I mean, you would think that you'd be like, oh, shit, you all right? You okay?
Like, you know, you tend to it, all the rest of that good stuff.
Like, you're my main attraction. You're making me money.
But yet, I'm being laughed at by my owner, my master, slavery.

(05:00):
But yeah, so we had to back it up there because that's where the history of
that is. So whenever there is something that's happened, there's a cause and effect.
The cause is that Jumpman was burning the hell out of this poor monkey's hands,
this ape's hands, trying to juggle pineapples.

(05:21):
And then now the game comes to the States and we're like, oh,
well, this monkey's crazy.
No, he's just pissed the fuck off. Right. And he's upset that you burnt my hands
to, I don't know how many times people played the damn game that I'm going to
get back at you. It was the get back.
It was the get back. Okay. But people don't understand that. No. Hmm.

(05:46):
He's, he's, he's, his insane meter has gone up just a little bit. It's going to get more.
So, speaking of Donkey Kong, he would later be reinvented. In 1994,
they changed his name to Cranky Kong.
And then he would become known as Donkey Kong's grandfather.
Yes. They are descendants. Yes. You know, he's kind of known as Mario's girlfriend.

(06:07):
No, obviously, he goes to rescue them. Mm-hmm.
Mario Chase and Tail. Look at that. Mm-hmm.
Could this be where the insanity started? Who knows?
Oh. It gets worse. Gonna go save his girlfriend.
And later in the Nintendo release, when Donkey Kong was ported into Nintendo,

(06:30):
Lady got a name change and they changed her name to Pauline.
Pauline. Nice to see that change. Yeah. Well, I mean, so here's another side
note, too, I want to throw out there.
Now, you said that Cranky is the original Donkey Kong, right?
Yeah. And we have Donkey Kong afterwards. where it's the Donkey Kong that we all grew up to play with.

(06:53):
Now, I'm not saying Jumpman is the only insane one here because how long does an ape live?
Let's check it out. How long does a silverback gorilla live?
We're going to figure this out because I have not a theory,
All right, so roughly 35 to 40 years. That's still more than what people lived

(07:15):
in the medieval times and the Middle Ages and stuff. Yes.
So Mario would have to be somebody else.
Either that, either that. Or somebody else. Well, think about it.
Think about it. So how old do you think Jumpman was when he was running a circus?
He had to have been an adult.
Had to have been at least late 20s, early 30s. At that time,

(07:37):
anyway, that's when you were really into your careers.
Right now, nowadays, you're in your careers at like early 20s. True.
So we'll just say we'll just say 30. Right. We'll say 30, 31.
Mario's being shown being born on October 11th of 1955.
There's no way this man's immortal. There's just no way. There's no way.

(07:58):
Unless the other thing is, unless there's different timelines.
Which there could be. I don't know if Nintendo was big on.
Well, they could. Zelda. zelda zelda well
i mean as far as mario franchise goes no well
i don't think they really have any anything like that but okay so
my theory is that jump man

(08:19):
was also a descendant of the actual mario that we
grew up playing okay that's plausible yeah we'll have
to look in that when we do i guess might have might have a part
two to this right mario's still insane though by the way jump man's
just as insane apple doesn't fall far from the tree
right 30 35 to 40 years for a
silverback gorilla so that means cranky was

(08:40):
literally on his deathbed back in 81 well i mean when donkey kong came around
when when the younger donkey kong came around he was literally on his deathbeds
yes yes so we're here fighting a generational battle here right but there's
no way that same jump man is not now the mario there's no way that's true.

(09:01):
See, this isn't something I was thinking about after we were talking.
But that's besides the point.
So, continue. I'm listening. So, Donkey Kong Jr.
Was released August 2nd of 1982 in Japan. This is still Jumpman,
by the way. Another arcade release game.
Then it did not make its way to America until September of 1982.

(09:22):
And this time, Mario's mad. He comes back with a vengeance. And he gets the
great idea to capture Donkey Kong.
Oh. There we go. He did this because, you know, Donkey Kong took Lady or Pauline previously.
And Mario makes Donkey Kong Jr. jump through hoops to get his father back.
Now, now, what type of hoops we're talking about?

(09:44):
Electricity. He's whipping birds. He is literally whipping birds to go after Donkey Kong Jr.
You're telling me? You're telling me? You're telling me that same?
Now, mind you, if you ever played the game, if you looked at that little monkey's
face, Look at Donkey Kong Jr.'s face. You want to tell me that he was okay?
I don't think he was. That man was stressed the fuck out. What?

(10:07):
What? Like, he probably was sad the whole time trying to do all this.
Trying to get his father, yeah.
Trying to dodge lightning and random ass fucking ravens. Like, what?
What? And you see the man just whipping this. Hey, hey, you need to go get him.
Go get him. How many levels were on that?
So it was four in the previous. previous i'm guessing there's probably like

(10:30):
maybe four maybe four to six on this one because games
were really short back then yes they were but they
i don't know it felt like they took forever to complete that that
yeah yeah but remember we
didn't have the concept of time when we were kids that's true but yeah i i think
this one also contained four levels you don't see four levels I believe and

(10:54):
the NES port only contains three so what happened when you got Donkey Kong what
happened to jump man jump and break his neck what,
When Mario captured him? No, no, no. When Donkey Kong Jr. got Donkey Kong, a.k.a. Grinky Kong.
With the helicopter. I guess between stages, Mario kidnaps him,
flies him in a helicopter.
Get him back. Yes. So Mario takes him to his hideout.

(11:18):
Yeah, that's some insane stuff there. It's a hideout. So Mario gets in a helicopter
and carries Donkey Kong away to his hideout, which is at the top of a skyscraper.
And I'm starting to think you are right about Mario being insane.
Dk and mario are standing on a platform that disappears
after dk jr inserts six keys

(11:40):
into the respective keyhole dk and mario
start to fall donkey kong jr obviously catches
donkey kong and then they run off you know what happened to mario he hits the
ground and he runs off that's horse shit you know what i'm so sick of this fucking
wily coyote type stuff come on man But when the game was ported to the Nintendo Entertainment System,

(12:04):
he falls to his death.
Well, that sounds a lot better. There you go. So that could bring him to being
another Mario coming after him.
Okay. So then now, here's the thing. Here's the thing. Here we go.
This is something else I'm coming up with now. This is something else.
He passes, right? Mm-hmm. Leaves behind Mario and Luigi.

(12:26):
Now, this is where we can get into how the personalities of both characters
come about, right? Mm-hmm. So...
Mario, he's just insane. Just like his dad, Jumpman. And that's the other thing,
too. Jumpman was a carpenter. Mm-hmm.
Luigi's a, not Luigi. Mario's a plumber. So. Both trades.
So about, that's true. I was going to say, as far as the gaming-wise,

(12:50):
the reason why they made him a carpenter for those games, because it was on a construction site.
Then when mario mario
brothers games release since they're going through the pipes and
on the ground then they say hey let's change them
to a plumber but yeah you could be right about
it see see the wheels are spinning
as we're having this conversation the wheels are spinning

(13:12):
so again mario's insane luigi sees
the insanity saw the insanity in both jump man and
mario after jump man had died no he's timid i guess he's a plumber too i'm not
sure yes yeah the brothers mario's oldest yeah so i mean our older i mean apparently

(13:32):
dr mario's another brother too another one yeah during the mario movie they
were talking about oh yeah your brother became a doctor,
wow he's been gone for so long have you seen the movie no i
have not as previously mentioned you know he's not a carpenter he's now a plumber
and luigi's introduced luigi you know he he got the short end of the stick and

(13:57):
i will go we'll get to that in a little bit but speaking of switch.
So now the first mario game was it in mushroom kingdom yes so mario bros takes
place in the mushroom kingdom okay so are the land of mushroom here's here's
here's the beginning of insanity sanity, right?
So did you know that in when Mushroom Kingdom was taken over by Bowser and the

(14:20):
Koopa, that the Koopa were known for black magic? Yes.
That is reference, yeah, Super Mario Bros., yes. So, first off,
how the hell are you a plumber in a world where there's black magic? I don't know.
But a video game, I get it. Maybe he's tripping or something.
Oh, you know what? He probably was high. Because here's the deal.

(14:42):
The black magic, and the citizens of Mushroom Kingdom were all the toads, right?
Yes. The black magic turned all the toads into grass, blocks,
stone, all kinds of other things that there is.
I don't think the pipes were the toads either.

(15:04):
But let's just say he didn't know this, right? Let's just say he didn't.
I want to say he didn't know this.
But every brick that you hit, you were killing a toad at this point.
Every stone that you go over with whatever
fucking object that you have or whatever thing that you get you're killing a
toad he didn't know he was just worried about chasing tail because at the end

(15:26):
of the day he wanted to go rescue princess toadstool so so okay so here's my
argument to that if he didn't know how the fuck do you live in a world and not
know that there's black magic,
black i would i would say that that that's a that's a
that's a common thing to know about right but then
again you know i guess we wait i mean if you

(15:46):
look out we're skipping ahead real quick but give an example
in paper mario the original on n64 mario does not live in mushroom kingdom he
lives in a house out in the middle of nowhere so yeah maybe you might not know
that but say if you did you know how many people you kill him you know how many bricks i i busted up

(16:07):
in that game i'm sure tons i killed so many toads but but then but then but
then now that i know this now because i didn't know this at the time but now
that i know this now are those toads on my conscience now i would think they
are yeah i drove mario to kill those toads maybe i'm insane.

(16:27):
Maybe just maybe the person who was wielding mario is the insane person it's
a good point You know what?
Look, the wheels are just turning the whole time we're having this conversation.
So we step forward a little bit. That was for Super Mario Bros.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. All right, it's beer time.
Beer time. I don't know. See, I'm coming up with all these thoughts,

(16:49):
right? And I haven't even had my beer yet.
I haven't even indulged in insanity of...
Marley and hops. Super Mario Bros. was released September of 88.
It didn't make its way and release in Japan until September 14th in 1992.
So this was a decision that was made by Howard Phillips and Minoru Arakawa.

(17:15):
Arakawa. Arakawa. He was the head of Nintendo of America.
And he gave Phillips a job of playing through all the levels of the Japan game.
Apparently, I guess the game was too hard for Japan.
I guess they could not beat the game. So this is why they held off on releasing the game.
Oh, did you know it was an actual different game? Is that the one between, was it Lost?

(17:40):
I forgot the name of that show, but yeah. They copied and pasted another game. Yeah.
So those of you that don't know, Mario 2, which was actually one of my favorite
Marios, Mario 2 was actually a completely different game.
Completely different. different because if you if you played
mario 1 and mario 3 they're pretty much damn near
the same almost i mean obviously the graphics are different the the design different

(18:05):
all the rest of that good stuff but if you look at mario 2 mario 2 is completely
different yes this time he's picking up vegetables and throwing them the he's a harvester now.
Wart is the antagonist who comes to I guess take over the world and he doesn't

(18:25):
like veggies so kids eat your veggies yeah.
But in this game you can play as Mario Luigi Toad or Princess Toadstool everybody
had different abilities yes Mario was pretty much an all around character Luigi
could jump super high and float he was like a little floaty,

(18:46):
Princess Peach could fly.
I don't remember what Toad did because I never picked Toad.
So for Toad, he had lifting power, which allows him to maintain his jumping
height and running speed while carrying an item.
Oh, really? Mm-hmm. That little thing?
Yeah. So that goes to show that I guess at some point, theoretically,

(19:11):
that there's a different timeline, right? Right.
Because the game is not part of the Mario world. It's part of something else.
But yeah, that game was kind of, like I said.
Then we got Mario 3. Yeah, Super Mario Bros. 3 was released in Japan October 23rd of 1988.
Then it's made its way to the States on February 12th of 1990. All right, now...

(19:36):
All right. Now our heroes are dealing with Bowser.
And the Koopa. Yes. And let's be real here.
There's still bricks and stone and vegetation.
We are two games in, technically two games in, in the Mushroom Kingdom world.
He hasn't figured that out yet?

(19:58):
No, he hasn't. I don't know.
I don't know. no mario could be a mass murderer or the person wielding mario could be a mass murderer,
think about that one not much really
super mario 3 pretty much the
same yeah for the most part i liked the levels you liked
it i liked it so i'm just trying to remember if i

(20:19):
played super mario before i played our super mario
nintendo not super mario world but i'll try
to think you're talking about super mario all-stars no no super mario for
super nintendo okay i believe i played that first before i played the older
games oh yeah okay so fair i don't because i never owned them when i had a nintendo

(20:42):
someone else did so i don't think
i ever completed any of the games just obviously the first few levels.
I mean, they are what they are. Yeah. I don't have, I don't know.
Do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do. I wouldn't call it my favorite game.
I mean, Mario was just Mario, but it was fun to play. Yeah, it's a very basic

(21:06):
formula. Very fun. Yeah. Very basic. Simple to the point.
Where are we at with that? So before we move on, listeners, go ahead,
you know, reach out to us and share your memories, thoughts about Mario.
Or even just tell us we're fruity because we even got this idea to do this.
All you Mario fanboys and fangirls, I can't believe he would even say such thing.

(21:31):
Well, I mean, this is just a theory, but also there is some truth to some of this.
There's some truth to everything to some degree.
You know this man's insane yeah love make you do weird things right i mean you're killing toads.
Killing koopa killing goombas but

(21:54):
what else you're jumping over pits speaking of
pits we're getting close to yoshi so yes that's a
nice lead way into yoshi we're getting into yoshi we're
going to talk about yoshi who is a fictional dinosaur character
character created by Shigifumi Hina
Shigiro Miyamoto he wanted Mario to have you know a dinosaur companion for the

(22:18):
NES games but due to the limited capabilities of the NES he wasn't able to do
that when the Super Nintendo comes around he is finally able to have his companion for Mario,
so Yoshi makes his debut in Super Mario World for the Super Nintendo that was
released in Japan hand november 21st 1990 and released in the u.s august 18th of 1991 so.

(22:48):
Well where should we announce the elephant
in the room in this one go for it so mario
is an equal opportunity abuser when it comes to animals for
sure now all of us that are
in our mid 30s and higher
i'm sure you've played super mario world i'm sure
you've had a yoshi you played with a yoshi you

(23:10):
ate the apples you collected all the yoshi coins with yoshi did anyone really
look at the animation on how that tongue comes out of his mouth sure no one
did all right let's let's let's look at let's look at the display box the display
box of super mario for a c i'm going deep I'm going deep.

(23:30):
This one, I looked at this as I was doing my research and I was like,
oh my God, this makes sense.
So let's look at the display box. Display box shows Mario riding on Yoshi.
I think he has this cape. I think he has, this is when the cape came in,
which was the replacement of the Tanooki tail.
Yes he does have his cape on yes yellow so he's got his fists in the air raising

(23:56):
raising in like he he's yeah like oh yeah i'm the man right yes and yoshi's looking back at him he is,
now let's go to the animation same exact
movement but the only thing the only thing
different is that it's a still frame in the picture showing yoshi looking
at him probably thinking like is he gonna hit me is this
man gonna hit me in the back of the head and if you look at the animation in

(24:19):
the game yeah he hits yoshi in the
back of the head and that tongue
comes right out so you're telling me you're telling me you can't just you don't
talk to this thing this thing doesn't know english i'm sure it does i'm sure
it does yeah because when we find them they're talking right so why are you

(24:40):
punching this thing in the back of the head mario yeah that is kind
of violent yeah yeah and then let's not forget the pits but then again that's also user.
Capable as well oh should i
get this extra this extra inch should

(25:00):
i should i leave this level with yoshi or
should i just let him fall in the pit i'm guilty i let that man fall in the
pit almost every time i'm guilty yeah and sometimes i've let him come with come
live with me after the level maybe i'm insane but mario definitely is when he's
punching him in the back of the head.

(25:22):
But i'm hitting the button for him to do it giving the command you know this
is this is becoming a big psychological game for us all right now i'm even questioning my morals at this point,
continue brother yeah i mean the story of super mario world you know have our
heroes mario luigi toadstool you know they're resting on a beach they decide

(25:46):
to take a nap and when they wake up,
princess toadstool is gone disappeared mario and luigi go searching for her
again mind you there's There's more bricks, more stone, and more buttons to hit. Yes.
Those are toads. We're still in that mushroom kingdom.

(26:08):
So they come upon an egg, a giant egg. Yoshi is hatched.
And he proceeds to tell Mario and Luigi how his pals were sealed in the eggs,
some of the one that he popped out of, and that they were taken by a group of turtles.
Koopa. Black magic. Yes. So the Koopas, Bowser, they're back in town.

(26:30):
They want revenge. They have Toadstool.
And of course, Mario uses Yoshi to travel around the Dinosaur Land.
And of course, they end up laying the smack of the Dounith on Bowser.
On that candy ass princess back on the candy ass well that's pretty much Super
Mario World I mean you had to abuse people to get to where you needed to be yes so.

(26:56):
Yeah are y'all convinced yet are you convinced it's Mario that's doing this
or do you are you convinced that you're doing this you the controller player,
I mean let me know let me know because again I'm questioning my life at this point,
because I didn't think about it until I actually was
here year and you know my resource was saying
oh mario's doing this mario's doing that i'm like is he doing that though

(27:19):
or is it the player makes you
think it does because i'm over here thinking right now
what do you what do you listeners think let us know all right i think was it
yoshi story too after that or yoshi yoshi story i didn't go that far oh my bad
oh you didn't i just stopped oh well i mean yeah let's let's go further into

(27:40):
this let's go further into this all you go let's Let's go down to Yoshi's story.
So let's get this straight. So mind you, this man's getting beat in the back
of the head and being dropped in pits.
Oh, oh, the other thing is when you get hit by an enemy, it's Yoshi that takes
the brunt end of it, not you. That's true. That's true.

(28:02):
Because he falls off, or Mario falls off, then Yoshi runs away.
Right, right. And you got to catch him before he falls.
He's frantic. He doesn't know what's going on. He's an animal,
right? Just like any other animal, they're like, oh, oh, what am I going to
do? What am I going to do? What am I going to do?
If you don't catch him in time, he's going to fall into a pit.
That's on you. You put him in as a human shield. You said, hey,

(28:24):
you're going to take this for the team.
I don't claim you at this point.
I don't claim you. and now you got
to get them so let's go to yoshi's island right
now you got the the two the two twins you
got the two brothers mario and luigi and their babies so before you go any further

(28:44):
i have not played yoshi island i kind of stopped playing mario games after super
mario world i played this one briefly i didn't play very much of it i think the idea of yoshi Yoshi,
I wasn't interested, essentially. Oh, what?
I was like, oh, there's something making games. Yoshi was that man.

(29:06):
Yoshi's that man. I mean, look at the Smash Brothers character.
I mean, the players, people use Yoshi all the time. Did they?
But in competition, yeah. Yoshi's that man.
I mean, not everyone uses Yoshi, but there are some pretty good Yoshi players out there.
Hats off to you all, Smash Brothers players.
That are good. Yeah. But y'all did create a rule that, I don't know,

(29:30):
I'm not saying all y'all did this, but I heard this through the grapevine because
I'm in the fighting game community myself.
But I heard y'all made the rule, made a rule, or got a new rule in place that
y'all have to have good hygiene in order to be competing.
Yes, I heard this through the grapevine of the FGC. Why do we need a rule?
This should be a standard thing? Let me tell you this. Yes.

(29:52):
You get these grown men that play these video games, or kids that play these
video games, and they get hooked on them, they're not going to take a shower.
They're not going to brush their teeth. They're going to play that thing until
someone pries them off. Right.
Now, I'm not saying that in a bad way, but, you know, if you have game addiction
or something like that, that happens.

(30:15):
Some of these people in these tournaments probably had game addictions.
And you know and also autism does that too does it yeah no i mean autism does quite a few things,
but i mean autism also i'm pretty sure it helps you i mean doesn't help you
but you forget some stuff right you're so occupied so focused on everything else yes.

(30:37):
So then now, we're in the Yoshi story, sorry. So now we got the two,
Mario and Luigi as babies. The stork loses them.
First off, how does he still have a job after this? Right. Right?
When it's one job to deliver. Yeah. All you gotta do is just deliver to the parents. That's it.
The stork carry any insurance for misplaced packaging? Nope.

(30:58):
Nope, they don't. Because you want to know something?
They're just going to throw up their feathers and be like, well,
it's not my problem. And then just call it a day. That's why the Yoshi had to deal with it.
So you're telling me that Mario's done this all to Yoshi, the first Super Mario World game.
And then you got these different colored Yoshi, Yoshai or whatever you want

(31:18):
to call them in multiple, going through all hell and high water to make sure
these babies get back to where they need to be.
And then all I get hit, all I do is get hit in the back of the neck and thrown in a pit. Come on, man.
Come on, man. Make it make sense. make this make sense because it's not mario's
insane mario is insane this man will go here first yes yes he will go through

(31:44):
anything and everything to get some tail,
he will he will abuse everybody he can even even father jump man,
even father jump man will abuse everything he can to make sure that he gets his get back.

(32:05):
Oh yeah he they will abuse everything even
their own family if they got to true yeah so
you got that you have okay so here's the other thing too well this isn't game
this isn't the next game related but there is there is a correlation from mario
games to kid the stage Kidnapping stage Kidnapping yes I went small,

(32:32):
Down that rabbit hole I didn't go too much Further but yeah There Mario games
have a correlation for that.
You all would have to look that up. I'm not necessarily sure all the information
on it, but I saw some stuff and I was like, hmm, this is interesting. Yeah.
This is very interesting. Because it is kind of repetitive. You have to keep

(32:54):
going, chasing after your princess.
Right. And think of it, people that are explaining it, like,
oh, well, what would it be like to actually do that?
And then they talk to their girlfriend, spouse, or whomever,
or boyfriend, spouse, whomever.
And like, oh, yeah, why don't we try that? And I have to look for you.
Right yeah well i'm not

(33:15):
gonna touch that but yeah there there's there's a
it's not a huge correlation but there there is
something to do with that we won't touch on that
maybe if we do a part two if y'all want to do part two on that i'm gonna
do a part two but yeah i mean since we're talking
about family so that's the first family member yoshi let's get
into luigi let's go let's get into this man let's go
this man's a timid scared tall dark

(33:39):
and handsome can float in the air gets he's
he gets the short end of the stick let's let's let's start with mario is missing
okay raise your hand anyone that's listening right now raise your hand if you
know what mario's missing is
and what system it's on i'll wait it was one of those it was one of those.

(34:02):
Obstructive obscene ones because it came out in a weird time i remember you know when i had the.
Super nintendo it was a weird one it was like an informational
like was it like i never played
geography oh it was like a geography type like
oh is it well i don't
know i was mentioning something like carmen san diego

(34:24):
thing so it was like a geography game no it wasn't it wasn't so
much geography like you you were running around the area right and
it was a side scroller but it was
kind of like the first side scroller you could go up and down
but it wasn't like oh you you
in real time go up and down in the map you just
hit oh excuse me that was the chair

(34:45):
you just hit down and then like he'll just like kind of
have like a little walking animation then he'll sprint and then
you're back to the side scroller trying something different so mario's
missing came out in january of 1993 in
north america on ms das
miss dos for those who remember on the ms das but it didn't make its way to

(35:08):
nintendo the console in 1993 so it's like you got to talk to people in the area
you got to get clues educational game yeah it was an.
Education game talked about like the roman stuff and and places and things nouns
all that stuff and then you had to piece everything together on where the location

(35:33):
of the next clue would be blah blah yeah i'm looking here must travel around the world.
Find no return stolen treasure so it's
like a hunt for things okay so how
does it go from a free side scrolling
game where you're just like killing toads you're
killing yoshis you're beating yoshis in the back of the head they let the software

(35:57):
tool works they like i guess brought the licensing rights for mario i guess
they wanted to target a different audience make Make it more of an educational
game and not a game where you're chasing tails. He's laughing at my face right now.
He's laughing at my face. But no, it looks like, what is this, 93?
So more computers were getting in people's homes at the time. Yeah, yeah.

(36:20):
So I would figure it might not have a console because I'm sure at the time probably
families didn't agree with owning a video game console because it would rot your brain.
Yeah but now look you can esports but and literally staves away dementia true.

(36:43):
Facts so i guess they just want to hit you know touching
the computer market i guess but man
was it an awful game was that bad huh it was awful no one wants to figure out
geography and science and all the rest of the good stuff okay you know what
why not i'm wrong i'm wrong for saying that no you're not wrong it's just you

(37:05):
know growing up kind of a little off topic here certain things you You may be exposed to,
and I know school can be chaotic and they'll like shove all this stuff at you.
But it's kind of like if you're not exposed to it, you don't know if you like
it or not. Second beer boys and girls.
And I was thinking about this earlier. It's like, hey, no, it's good to be exposed

(37:29):
to certain things because you don't know if you'll enjoy it or not.
Yeah. Just being exposed to something.
Well, yeah. I mean, I see what you mean. and then you
know coming home from school or if you if you you know
kind of wanted something easy to do or something like that
to kind of keep you intrigued but not getting
yourself in trouble i could see that right yeah i could
see that but from someone who's played the mario series right

(37:52):
that's not something you look yeah you're not looking to play something like
that i'm like wait what is this i'm sure there's games out
there it'll come to us where it's what's one thing and then another game comes
out something different oh shoot not so much from like a top down view game
going to 3D nothing like that but this was just oh like a Halo and Halo Wars
yeah so you go the first person shooter then go to the real time strategy type yeah yeah.

(38:19):
Because I thought when that first came out but those are two those two are up
our alley though right you know what I mean oh yeah,
so yeah we're getting Luigi like I said yes so we've got Maro's missing which
is again educational game if you're all for that I'm not knocking it by any
means but if you were someone again if you played Mario games this wasn't it

(38:40):
for you this wasn't something you wanted to do but let's let's fast forward to the end of it right,
You get to the end of this game, you got the brother, you got the little brother
who literally is like, oh my God, I am now somebody who can actually do something. I am capable.
I can find my brother so that we can go ahead and save Mushroom Kingdom again. Yes. Once more.

(39:06):
And mind you, Mario's missing. We're no stones, no bricks, nothing, nothing.
They were just, you were just traveling the world. but you
know what mario does he finds the key luigi finds the
key opens the cage that he was trapped in you know
what mario does just looks at him just looks
at him yeah just no no thank you no no thank you text no nothing just looks

(39:31):
at him typical and then walks off what so ungrateful mean rude disrespectful
i feel that you are which was the word you're patronizing me right now.
Being the little brother talking about this stuff but yeah just looks at him

(39:52):
and walks off like what what let's go further let's go with mario tennis power tennis on the gamecube,
luigi wins the tournament if you play luigi is the is the main character for
the story yeah wins the tournament everyone's happy for him mario walks up to
him gives a little laugh clapping,

(40:14):
takes his foot and steps on luigi's foot
and grinds his foot into luigi's shoe can't let luigi have a moment no no no
new uh new super mario bros on the wii you beat the game mario and i think at
the time was it princess peach i don't know he's got so many women now he's got a

(40:35):
harem he's got a home right yeah it was princess peach luigi comes down on a hot air balloon,
he's like look i'm gonna let y'all i'm gonna let y'all ride with me come
on in come on down gets him in he looks
over at the other balloon where toad is he's like oh we're gonna we're gonna
go he reaches for the door that balloon's gone what yes they hijacked his balloon

(40:58):
you're gonna tell me that mario's
a good brother no he's selfish he's got a harem a harem not a harem.
This man is insane. This man will go through anything, anything.
And at the end of the day, at the end of the day, he will do all of this for some tail.

(41:21):
Now, mind you, I'm a man. We're both men, okay? We like some tail. I get it, right?
Right? Yes. But I don't think we've ever, like, tried to kill each other.
Or leave one another by themselves somewhere. We're stranded.
Never. I'm like, oh, yeah, you know, Luis is down the street,

(41:43):
so I'm taking the car and I'm leaving you here at this stop sign. No. And I'm gone.
It'll probably be more like, just drop me off here and come get me.
Come get me later. Yeah, when I'm done. When I'm done hanging out.
And it's just like, man, this guy has done everything crazy.
I don't know. The viewers, you tell me, is this a good brother?

(42:05):
Mind you. No, he's mean to Luigi. very
very mean to luigi now mind you this
man is still insane like his father was now we're gonna
claim the jump man is his father because there ain't
no way he's living 100 plus years here they were
close to especially after falling off the skyscraper yeah
right right instead of just hitting the

(42:27):
ground and running away but this man this man
is insane i don't think mario's
who who we think he is we think he's the greatest oh there's another one another
one for luigi right mario's paper mario back to one back game again paper mario
for the n64 one of my favorite marios out of the paper mario series that first

(42:49):
one amazing paid a thousand year door amazing,
the story everything amazing but in the first one you can go back to the house
and you can find I think it's either a 10 or 15 page diary on how much he had
Myers his brother Luigi admires Mario Yeah,
you can read this and everything first off. Why the fuck you going through your brother's diary?

(43:12):
Or is it the viewer? Is it the player that's doing this? Right? Yeah.
See? You got to assume accountability.
Yes. Just because Mario did it doesn't mean you didn't do it too. Right. Right?
So he's got a 10, 15-page diary. And you're reading through this.

(43:32):
And he is just admiring his brother, like how he wants to go on all these adventures,
how he wants to be seen as a hero too, right? Right?
Tell me how in the game you never really get him to come help you. Right.
The only time that happens is in the Superstar Saga series.
Yeah, I mean, even stuff happens to him, to Luigi there, too.
Mario just kind of looks at him like, oh, you'll be alright.

(43:55):
But, I mean, in the Superstar Saga series, I believe there is,
in the first one, there is something that happens to Luigi and you have to go get him.
Because you need him to complete the game. Right. But, yeah, man.
Mario, Mario is not who we think he is.
But then again, are you who you think you are by doing the decisions that Mario

(44:17):
is doing? Making decisions for him. Yeah.
The world may never know. They won't. They won't.
Only you could make that decision. Only you could think about that one.
Because at the end of the day, you are pressing that button. Mm-hmm.
But just think how many toes you killed. How many toes Mario killed.
Because the game doesn't play unless it's on. True.

(44:41):
Oh, let's talk about the Herm for a minute. Oh, man, let me put my knee up.
Let's talk about the Herm for a minute. Do you remember the movie,
the Super Mario movie with John Leguizamo?
Oh, my God. First off, horrible ass movie. I did not watch it.
What? I mean, it is a cult classic by any means. It is still horrible, though.

(45:03):
Yeah. But, I mean, it's Mario. I saw bits and pieces, but I don't think I ever watched it.
I couldn't tell you how many times Luigi said Daisy. Couldn't tell you. Daisy.
Oh, Daisy. It's like, Luigi, shut the fuck up. You're not doing nothing right now.
Right. But yeah, tell me how Super Mario Land on Game Boy. Why is Mario going out to save Daisy?

(45:28):
That's Luigi's girl. It's Luigi's girl. And for some reason,
Mario is messing around. You know what?
At this point, fuck Mario, man. Because
this man is doing anything and everything. He is a heathen out here.
He is a menace to society at the moment.
But then again, you as a player, you're going to save Daisy.

(45:49):
We got to think about this. We got to kind of rethink how we do things, right? Yes.
But obviously, you know, I'm just throwing that out there. I mean,
it's a game. You want to play the game. You want to enjoy yourself, right? You do, yes.
But as a player, you don't think about these things. You're just playing the game.
I sure as hell didn't think about it when I was playing Super Mario World and

(46:10):
dropping bombs of Yoshis in pits and stuff like that. I wasn't thinking about that. Hitting.
You know, I would even, like, grow on this other thing, too.
The mushroom. The mushroom. You hit.
You literally hit the question mark box and get a mushroom. That didn't tip us off.

(46:30):
That didn't tip us off at all. Oh, my God.
Again, the wheels are spinning. Super Mario All-Stars on Super Nintendo.
You know, there's the bad mushroom, right? Been a long time.
There's the bad. So there's good mushroom and there's the bad mushroom. Yeah.
That didn't tip us off. That was a bad toad. Nope.
We were just kids hitting boxes, eating mushrooms, hitting dinosaurs on the head.

(46:56):
We are terrible people. Mario's even worse, but we're terrible.
We're terrible. So what's the final verdict, man?
You know. Or is it still that terrible? Dive a little more.
We're still insane. don't get me wrong he's still insane just based off of cut
scenes yeah and father jump man.

(47:17):
And what he's been doing, right? Right. I mean, and his death affected Mario.
Mm-hmm. And he basically is doing the same exact thing, just in a different way, right? Yeah.
I don't know. I think it's, to me, personally, I think it's both the player and Mario.
Player and Mario. They are insane. Okay.

(47:38):
Well, Mario's insane. He's a menace. But I think the player is in question because
you are playing the game.
Yeah obviously again not thinking
about it you're just playing the game right but in essence to that,
you're playing it and not probably not even having the backstory about the stone
and the bricks and stuff like that right most people probably don't no most people probably don't,

(48:01):
because you know yeah you're right because i remember playing i was
like oh we hit this this is what we do mind you
computers aren't in the household yet we
didn't get magazines magazines so internet was
very infantile at that time you don't get all that information but
then again i mean you got that story in the manual but the manual
was just like a picture book for me to

(48:22):
use the bathroom with you know what i mean right that's true i
was just like oh look i've seen this picture like 6 000 times but it's cool
to look at you know what i mean you have the ones but then you have the ones
who do not read the manual right i was one of those i never read the manual
i didn't either unless it was fighting games because it gave you It gave you
the inputs. Their combo lists. Yeah.

(48:43):
But, yeah, I never read the manuals either. But I don't know.
It's just kind of a toss-up. Because then now you've got to think about it.
It's kind of like us when you've got to assemble something and you don't read
the instruction manual. You're sitting there like, how do I do this? I don't understand.
That's true. So it's kind of that thing. Like, you know, we don't think about
how games have consequences in them.

(49:05):
Right? Or what effect are you doing by, oh, you're the good guy. You're doing this.
But at the same time, what's not being in check at this point now that you've defeated this boss?
True. Yes. I don't know. It got real philosophical for just a second there.
Made me think of Thanos for a moment. Yeah, right? Thanos is another beast in itself.

(49:27):
We're not going to get to him right now. But, yeah, that's my verdict.
All right. That's my verdict. Are you guys here? Mario's a menace.
Ladies and gentlemen, Mario's a mess. Mario's still insane.
So, I thought we'd bring back, what did we do? This or that?
Oh, this or that? Oh, shit. I didn't even do any questions. I got some for you.

(49:49):
Started, but. it we'll see what comes to mind all right
so i still have my beer so the the rule
is you either pick so i
guess i guess you can give me a few and then as i'm as you're doing that
i'll think of a few this little twist this that or the third or the third jesus
christ um so we the rule is basically you pick whatever it is that you you think

(50:11):
is the best possible answer if you say both we both have I have to take a sip
of our beer. We have to drink to it.
All right, go ahead. All right, so we'll do movies.
The first question I have here, favorite actor to play Spider-Man,
Tobey Maguire, Andrew Garfield, or Tom Holland?

(50:33):
You know, I'm pretty biased. We're going to go Tobey. Tobey, okay. Same. Tobey.
I feel, well, I guess, I don't know.
But I felt Toby Woods right, portrayed the right, I don't know,
there's no right type of nerd, but I feel he played the character as it should have been. Well, yes.

(50:56):
As the nerd he is. Yes. It felt fitting to how the comics were written.
Andrew, I know it's Amazing Spider-Man, and that Spider-Man was a little different, but I just didn't.
It yeah i never really got into
all the spider-man so i don't know the difference between the two i know there's
timelines and stuff like that right yeah earth 2099

(51:17):
and i think 2099 is the is the
earth now right not sure see and then
tom holland so i just want to know which one you believe played
spider-man the best oh yeah for sure this one's
a kind of i don't know you can
just pick one but favorite actor to
play batman and this is the hollywood movie ones the

(51:39):
uh live action i guess you'd say okay you know
christian bale ben affleck adam west michael keaton
robert pattinson george clooney and val kilmer oh val played batman did i thought
he was one of the villains batman forever oh yeah val did i liked val kilmer
i mean they're all really good actors for the most part. I didn't see the Robert Pattinson one.

(52:04):
I didn't see the Ben Affleck one.
You know what, I'm going to have to stick with the tried and true.
I'm going to go Adam West. Whoa, Adam West. That's a hot take,
hot take, but I'm going to go Adam West. Holy Toledo's Batman.
Nothing wrong with that. I enjoyed Michael Keaton. Yeah, Michael Keaton was good too.
Yeah, Robert Pattinson, Batman, more of a, well, first movie anyway,

(52:26):
more of a detective type movie.
So he was doing more of that investigative work. That's pretty good. Eh. Long, but good.
But you said Adam West. Adam Wiest. Adam Wiest.
That's a good one all right here we go rappers
big L or Biggie
Big L I never really listened to again I was never exposed to him mm-hmm I've

(52:51):
heard the name but all right all right okay all right let me change that then
a little Biggie but let's do this one big noid or Biggie I know you like big
noid i know you like big no i think i would say still say biggie okay tupac or kendrick.
Oh hot take i really wasn't a tupac fan neither was i i like tupac right his music is good,

(53:21):
but i was yeah neither was i but i would pick the opposite i would go tupac
because Because, again, same thing.
There's a couple songs I like of Kendrick. I just can't. I can't do his delivery. I just cannot.
I'm the type where if you can deliver a song well, and you can tell a story,
he does everything great but his delivery to me. Okay.

(53:43):
Hot take. I don't know. I would go Kendrick.
Okay. I like more of his older stuff.
I don't want to because there was a point where he hit that commercialized you
can tell his music changes same thing with DMX once he hit album 3 it was commercialized music yeah.

(54:07):
His first two albums was the highest selling ones yes alright here we go J.
Cole or Mobb Deep it's the M-O-B-B yes Mobb Deep,
okay we want to video games okay here
we go we got earthbound or

(54:28):
mario dang i need to expand my gaming library so i never played earthbound okay
i heard of it so mario by default okay fair let's go final fantasy 7 or chrono
trigger i didn't play either of those games,

(54:49):
You know what? Drink to that. I'll drink with you.
I'll drink with you. But that's your punishment. You get a drink to that.
So for you, Mortal Kombat or Street Fighter? No, Street Fighter for sure.
Okay. Hands down. Hands down, Street Fighter. I was trying to think of.
Beat them up but okay battlefield

(55:11):
or call of duty battlefield okay although
i don't play it as much anymore but battlefield still okay i love battlefield
i love it here's one for you avocados or mangoes probably mangoes i'm not an
avocado fan you're insane you're not my brother,

(55:35):
you're insane you might as well be with mario best case.
Iphone or android iphone why so
android actually put a bad taste in
my mouth oh shit here we go years ago you
know i was eyeing a samsung galaxy i think it was two at the time something

(55:57):
told me me to wait so i kept waiting then the three came out and this is when
you could take batteries in and out of your phone and i guess i got a defective
phone because it would just die all the time.
One time i guess it died alarm didn't go off and then i found out i can make
it to orlando like 30 minutes oh for work no just going to the movies oh i was

(56:23):
over living in viera at the time gotcha So,
dang, I was not speeding.
I was doing the speed limit. Don't let that man lie to you.
Don't you dare. 30 minutes and kiss my ass. 30 minutes or less.
I mean, you could make it in 30 minutes. I mean, you're not wrong,
but you're definitely not doing the speed limit.

(56:44):
All right, where were we? Pepsi or Coke? Coke. You were a Pepsi guy.
I was. And then all of a sudden, it changed.
Pepsi just didn't taste like it used to.
Oh, I mean, none of them did. None of them did. I'd rather drink the Mexican Cokes from Chipotle.
Yes, Mexican Coke with the sugar cane. Yes. The good sugar. Where is that? The good sugar.

(57:07):
Running or walking? Well, it depends if I'm being chased by Mario. Mario?
I'm being chased by Mario. Oh, my God. My eyes are watering right now.
You saw that, too? I got so much anxiety from watching that.
Oh, my God. Oh, hold on. Oh, my goodness.

(57:28):
Oh, oh. I about cried when I saw that. I was like, what the? What is this?
What is this? All right. So we'll get to this. We'll get to this.
So there's a mod for Mario, and it's called Mario 85.
Five you said chasing mario jesus christ so you're

(57:48):
luigi you go through this youtube it youtube it but
you go through the level as a basic like level right and it
looks it looks like you know one of the
mario one levels but then the further you get into like you
get this pop-up right and then it's like mario's face
but it looks really demented and not like demented where it's
like you know like beat up or anything like that it's just different

(58:09):
bone structure it's just creepy looking yeah and then
it changes like so it was blue in the
background now it's like kind of like a tint like a darker tint right like sunset
and then it gets this pop-up again and then it's completely black and so you're
you're going through the end of the level you get to it depends on which level

(58:32):
which ending you get first because there's different endings well there's one
where like Like he takes,
where Mario takes Princess Peach or Princess Toadstool, whichever you want to call her,
and throws her through a pole and just splits her in half.
What? Just splits her in half completely. What is this?
Mario 85. I'm sure this is not sanctioned by Nintendo. No, it's not.
It's modded. It's modded.

(58:54):
It's modded. But yeah, split her in half. And you see this, you see this,
and you just immediately start running back.
And then you get the Mario 2 boss. and then you're
you're you're jumping you hear ah and all the rest
of that good stuff you hear like bricks being broken again
all those toads dying all coming back to

(59:15):
it all those toads dying and you're you're trying to like get back there you
don't even have a way to like grow and be strong to break a brick kill a toad
or two to try to get no mushrooms from mario no no no yeah sorry and you got
this thing running after you now you can hit them on the head it'll freeze him
for like a couple seconds, but he'll come back at you.
He'll blow through tubes or pipes or whatever it is.

(59:39):
Shit's insane i i had never had the most anxiety
in my life watching that i saw it on facebook and i was like and
this was like maybe a couple days ago yeah i was like oh my god what
is this am i watching right now coming after you and
then you finally get into the tube and then it said oh
the game is the game is just merely beginning man you know
and just the start oh but oh before you

(01:00:00):
even get to the tube he falls in a pit right and it's
like oh god that's over with right so you can get through
the tube all of a sudden he comes back bigger and
more creepier than anything and he's just like ah just busting
through it it is it man check
out the video yeah check out the video mario 85 mario 85
that yeah this shit's

(01:00:23):
insane whoever thought of that and then there's there's
like three other versions of it there's the
i don't know if it was calico vision or one
of the a maybe ms dos
version of it it could have been yeah it
was ms dos version and then there's two super
nintendo versions there is a super uh mario superstars was mario all-stars uh
