Coming soon to load on Kideo andDVD.
You like that nostalgia? It's ripped off of Avhs.
Before time, far beyond all you imagine, there is an island
paradise where legends are real,protected by 6 mighty guardians,
(00:22):
threatened by one immortal enemy.
Their unity, their duty, and their destiny I must shatter.
This summer, the mask of light can defeat the darkness.
Trust in the mask. Let it be your guide.
(00:57):
What the fuck? Oh, we lost sound.
OK, yeah, there's no sound in the video.
There we go. Perfect.
And then he puts his swords on his feet and their lava.
(01:20):
Skates. Premiering on DVD and video
September 16th. Mask oflight.com.
Yeah, it was direct DVD. See.
See you there. No, no Premiere I.
See, you have chosen the right path.
(01:41):
Henceforth you will be known as a wind.
Welcome to the worst impressions.
Podcast. There's something.
Strange in here. What's the deal with OH?
(02:04):
Welcome to the island of Matanuri.
In the time before time, per thebylaws of this podcast, sure, we
do have to have at least one impression.
I guess so. I guess that those are the
rules. I unfortunately strangleholded
myself, put my pigeon, hold myself in.
(02:25):
Indeed, indeed. OK, so I'm going to take you
back. It's like 2007.
You're, you're at home, you're watching Cartoon Network.
Your favorite show Ben 10 is on.Oh my God, yeah.
He just went forearms and he's about to, he's about to fight.
Vilgax goes to commercial break as it's coming back from
(02:46):
commercial break. The hit band Barenaked Ladies is
announcing to you that Ben has come back from commercial break.
He hits Ben one waste you looks me.
It cuts off. It's Ben.
(03:07):
It's Ben. That's literally what the bit
what they did that on the no. That's my bit.
Oh, that's just your bit. That's amazing.
You just fucking stemming out toBen.
It's Ben, it's banned. It's like he's back.
It's Ben. Ben Tan just loves Ben 10 so
(03:33):
much. I mean to be fair and fucking
cool show, but not as cool as Bionicle.
Not as cool as Bionicle. OK, we're going into Bionicle
land. Matanui, let me just change my
brightness settings. Auto log, never perfect.
OK, because I've got notes on Bionicle.
(03:55):
This set sold separately. Each set sold.
Fuck it was Oh my God. OK, OK, do you know why?
By the Lego, this is Coleman. Thank you, Coleman, for coming
and doing the Bionicle deep dive.
It's not going to be very deep. It's going to be pretty shallow,
and there's going to be a lot ofriffs and unsavory language.
Welcome to Worst Impressions. This is the Bionicle show.
(04:23):
Myself Burn. Everybody's everybody's been
chomping at the bit since 2001 to hear our take on.
Everybody's been asking when arewe going to get the bio Bionicle
episode when here it is. OK, do you know why they Lego
made Bionicle? I do to, to an extent.
(04:45):
Lego was failing miserably. Yeah, in in the late 1900s.
You see in the late 1900s. I shouldn't say that in the late
90s, not 1900s. Hello, I'm an idiot.
It's so funny, just like oh way way after.
World way after World. War 2 when Lego when Lego was
(05:08):
failing in the 1900, that's how that's how historians in like in
like the year 3000 was like Bionicle in the late 1900s Lego
was failing and then it's. I'm pretty hey, I'm pretty sure
that Lego did come out in like 2001.
(05:31):
No, not Bionicle. Lego came out late.
Oh, Christ. Well, that's not in my notes. 30
years of shit. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
It's been around a while, right?Because it.
Started off, it started off as like big, like I think they were
a Lincoln Log Company kind of thing.
They were. I don't know that that's a very
different episode. But anyways, in the late 1900s,
(05:53):
Lego was, was just like, what dowe do, you know?
Like Galaga, obviously. Are they Swiss Lego?
What? Are they sure?
Swiss sounds right, One of thoseHinga Vinga during the
countries. I went immediately in the
Indians like that our Lego is failing.
(06:14):
What do we going to do? And but some bro, some awesome
island jungle bro was just like,so it's here's an idea and they
can't. It was they they were going to
go. They were going to call it like
Bionites. They had like a couple of
different names. See there?
(06:35):
There were a few iterations before they landed on Bionicle
and they like actually released.The first one was like slice
something slicers or something. Slicer like slicer bots and then
there's like robo something yeahyeah, it was like robo garbage
or. Something and the third one
there, it started as like Voodoo, Voodoo guy or no skull
(07:02):
heads from Voodoo Island or something.
Why did it OK where I literally have this room?
Now I know what you're talking about.
OK, hold on. But the the design that they had
for the the voodoo one, the lastiteration, like the skulls were
(07:23):
super big and the whole thing was like a rock em sock em
robots. And they want to.
They want to beat off that. Yeah, they want to beat off the
head. They want to beat off your head
till your head explodes. Yeah, off the top.
And for some reason that just wasn't gelling with them.
And then someone came up with the masks that you put on the
skull, and then they're like. Yeah, here.
(07:44):
So this is a, this is a later Gen.
Bionicle missing some arms. She's blue, so she's obviously
the woman of the crew. And this is one of the masks
there, red means man and as wellas brown, white, black.
All. Black, green, white, brown,
(08:05):
black, red, those are all those are men's colors and women get
the blue. One surprisingly, also pink.
Yeah, there's a pink one. There's no pink one.
I was like, just like I would have.
I would have had that one. I'm missing it.
I'm missing one. OK.
But OK. So it was originally a
(08:27):
subsidiary of LEGO's Technic series, which I believe Technic
is still going on. Yeah, yeah.
Oh yeah. And 'cause it's like there's a
bunch of moving parts. Like that was another thing.
It wasn't like building a castle.
It wasn't building. I mean, there was cars at the
time and it wasn't like building, you know, like a
(08:49):
little city. You they wanted to what if we
built a person? Like what if we built a creature
that came alive and that's wherelike the bio part comes from?
And then they wanted it to be really story driven, which is
kind of a low key. Like what is it under under
(09:11):
appreciated part of it? Like it was like, it was like
really rich with like lore and stories and shit.
And so that's why they, it was aBionicle bio chronicle, like
biology and chronicle. And then they mashed those
together as they did in the early 2000s, you know, Jay-Z and
(09:32):
Linkin Park style, just pushing them together and we get
Bionicle. And yeah, in 2001.
It was probably the coolest thing to happen in 2001.
Overshadowed by. Pokémon.
Pokémon, yes. That's the other thing that
happened in two in 2001. Other Pokémon games, sure.
(09:54):
Was looking at it now if you look at like Pokémon versus
Legos in general, I can't remember the last time I played
a Pokémon game. Because to me.
I'm just like, this is all just the same soup reheated.
Over and over. That's fair.
I OK, if we're going to do, if this is the Pokémon Pokémon
(10:15):
versus Bionicle part of the pod,I I find myself still playing
Pokémon because it's like easieraccess.
Like I don't know, I can't keep up with all of these like sets
or anything clearly, like they're all like giant just like
abominations. But I do appreciate how Lego
(10:39):
just like it. It's like it.
It's eternal. Yeah.
You know, like I I've got, I've dug these out and they're still
perfect in every. Dope as hell.
Perfect in every way. Unless it came with the rubber
bands like the bull rocks normally do they?
Got the rubber bands. Oh shit, it's it's still intact.
For you. For you.
(11:00):
This way, yeah, if they would make condoms out of that type
of, we wouldn't have any problems.
All of our problems would go away.
I'm trying to see if I got any masks.
Where are all my little masks? Inside the Borax.
I know some of them you put on these.
(11:21):
Guys. Oh yeah, I like stuck them on
their face whenever. OK, whenever I discovered you
could put the little gel masks on.
Motherfucker. Yeah, that guy right there.
Delicious. Whenever I found this particular
Zoom in everybody, this tiny little mask, you can like put it
on somebody's face, not this face.
(11:47):
Yeah, because that's a new Gin 1here.
Yeah, that's this guy. Oh, yeah.
Yeah. Older gin head.
Here we go. This is the like that's gone.
Oh, fuck yeah. Look how cool that looks.
Don't you just want to everyone?Don't you just want to come to
(12:07):
my house and suck me off after after seeing this?
I mean, Jesus Christ, I'll be beating him away with a stick.
No, you're going to have it. You want to play.
With you want. To play with a toy.
OK, so Coleman, yeah, I feel like early on.
(12:29):
I feel like early on that is oneof the things that we bonded
over and we became friends over Bionicle.
I don't know if you had them before, like like as I knew you
were. We both like saw them because
2001 we would be in first grade,yeah.
As good as mine? I think so.
I think so, yeah. If 2001 OK.
(12:52):
Yes, actually, the way I remember is because in 2000 I
was in kindergarten and I remember there's a whole thing
about it being the new millenniaor whatever.
So then yeah, the year after first grade since 2000 and.
One yeah. And so when I there, it was kind
of a phenomenon like, and specifically at our school when
(13:15):
we were in elementary school, they were everybody brought
these to school and like battledthem.
Did you ever do that? No, because I didn't want to
lose my parts. OK, so thank you.
Because I always felt like such a pussy because I was just like,
I would just be like, I was like, yeah, they'd be like, so
do you have them? And I was like, yes.
I was like, we'll bring it home.He was like, bring him up here.
(13:35):
We'll battle him. And I was like, no, there's no
way. Because you will steal my pieces
and you will break my you will break my things.
Yep. I I have I have two stories.
One when the Rockshi came out. OK Rockshi, let's get a box
Bang. So these were the villains, the
Mask of Light movie. That was a trailer we heard of
(13:59):
the zombies show. So when the Rockshi were first
released, I guess it was like maybe around either my birthday
or Christmas, but I got all six.Dude, keep your.
Yeah, and so I remember my mom, for whatever reason, said I
couldn't build them until she got home.
I I'm I might actually ask her why now as a 31 year old.
(14:23):
Mom, do you remember pulled out a gun.
Mom, you remember in 2000, 2001,2002, whenever you wouldn't let
me build my walk sheets, she'll be like you.
Shut the fuck up. So I built them anyway when even
though she wasn't home yet. And then I got in big trouble.
And that's one memory I have with like Bionicle specifically.
(14:45):
They melted them down. They were like, it's like
there's like you played with them at the wrong time.
We're going to, we're going to smelt, smelt these.
The other one doesn't. It's not necessarily Bionicle
related, but the one time I likeI I think this was after I moved
to Robinson, after, you know, wedrifted.
(15:08):
Yeah, I I brought my. Having sex as kids.
I brought my Transformers. To school because there is this
kid who's he was like, oh, I'll paint your optimist so that it's
Nemesis Prime and so it's like the the black paint job that
(15:30):
that he gets. He wanted to paint.
He wanted to paint your guy. Yeah, and he like he shouldn't
to be fair, like he he actually did paint them.
He was like a Warhammer painter type kid before that was a
thing. Nice.
And so like I believed him. And so I bring him.
I brought him my optimist. I brought him my tidal wave,
which is like the big fucker that like you.
(15:52):
Bring him a towel because he's swimming and all that pussy.
He's had so many girlfriends or boyfriends, whichever 1.
I mean, who like if you, if you're the, the type of guy he's
describing, I mean, you can't keep him away with this kind of
stuff with that energy. Honestly, so I brought those two
(16:13):
and maybe a couple others and he's like OK am I paying him?
Never saw that kid again. So Kenneth, I think your name
is, if you're out there, fuck. You no way give.
Me, my optimist. Never mind you were never
swimming in pussy. You only could dream of the
swimming pool full of vaginas. So that was, I think at that
point I was like, I'm never bringing one of my toys to
(16:35):
school ever again. Hell no dude, that's fucked up.
I would be pissed. Yeah.
You know, they're always like, what creates a school shooter,
You know what I'm saying? Like, what is it?
The video. Games.
No, it's it's, it's where you bring your Transformers to
school because you can't promisethat you paint them and then you
(16:55):
never see your Transformers again.
They're always, they're always trying to crack the code on what
causes this phenomenon. This.
Specifically this. I don't know why it happens
every single day, but. Oh my God.
(17:16):
OK, let's go down through some of this lore here.
Unlike most Lego themes. So yeah, that that was another
thing. So the the story part of Sorry
about your tragic story, Jesus Christ.
It's fine. That's a fucking sucks I.
It's fine. So we're going to have the Lego
version of Optimus Prime, and it's all good.
(17:37):
OK, thank God. Yeah, you're going to paint that
one. No.
God, that sucks, dude. Oh, man.
OK, OK, yeah, before we go into the war or whatever, do you
have? And I, I can kind of assume the
answer, but like, I just want toask, do you have an attachment
(17:58):
to things like, you know, toys and stuff from your childhood
that it, is it more emotionally driven?
Or is it like, no, these are just fucking cool collectibles?
Because mine is like a mixture of both.
Yeah, definitely a mixture of both.
I mean, hell, I still have all of my Legos from when I was a
kid and I'm still buying them tothis day.
(18:20):
Well, maybe not at this particular moment, because
shit's rough. Have you seen the prices of Lego
sets? It's stupid.
Yeah, they're. Insane.
They're, they're so insane. They're selling them to, you
know, 40 plus year old millennials who like got the
last good jobs, you know what I'm saying?
Like the ones that are just like, oh actually shit's not as
(18:40):
bad for us anymore. The at the top of a millennial.
Like oh I I think I will buy a $1000 Death Star.
And then also I will buy all of the rest on the pallet and then
resell them on my wife's like Etsy or whatever the fuck on
eBay store or whatever the hell and just drive up all of the
prices. Yeah, but I, I, I might be
(19:01):
leaning more towards the emotional side because for me, I
just, I find comfort in, I guessspecifically my Lego sets.
If, if you like, go into my office, you're just surrounded
by all sorts of Lego sets. And now that you've brought
Bionicle back into my life, I'm probably going to dig into my
(19:23):
gigantic tote of Lego pieces andjust find all the Technic parts
and rebuild all of my Bionicle sets because good God that I
have a lot of them. Dude, yeah, we got to, yeah, we
got to, we got to like put our, you know, our bionicles next to
each other and see which ones are longer and like, you know
(19:45):
what I'm saying? We just got to because that's
how it felt with these guys, these boys bringing them just
like my bionicles. These were just like, they're
Dicks before they had Dicks. And it's just like, all right.
Mine doesn't matter about how tall it is, it's how I use it.
Oh yes. Well, mine is black with
chainsaw hands. I was like, where were you going
(20:09):
with that? I was like chainsaw hands and
mine. Is brown with wide birthing for
some reason, But do you know which one I'm talking about?
The brown one. Pohatu.
Oh yeah, pohat pohat I got. This one I don't think the later
versions they didn't do it but like oh new one this.
Is yeah, this is a later. One the Gen. one his like the
(20:32):
torso they flipped it upside down so he literally just he was
like. Oh, 'cause his his tools.
I have the two, I have the two bites in the other room, but
we're on his feet. Yeah, yeah.
And you're right, 'cause they put his shoulders at his hips so
he could really, he could reallytake it in.
Yeah, he could really. He had birthing.
He had birthing. OK, I got to see what the what
(20:53):
were the names of the little ones?
I you know what I'm talking. About Yeah, I had it on the tip
of my penis. Penis, yes.
Weed. Penis yes.
I almost typed in tip of the penis.
Well, let's see. Small bionicle Bros, Small
(21:14):
Bionicles. These were the Turaga.
Yeah, the Turaga that like, I think it started with
McDonald's. It's like McDonald's had the
little and the Happy Meal toys. Hell yeah, dude.
And now people probably sell them on eBay for $1000.
They you have the these full sets are like 100 and 15120 on
eBay. That's it.
Pretty crazy. Yeah.
It's not. It's not that it's not.
(21:35):
That bad? It's not crazy.
But see, The thing is, if we just bring Bionicle back into
like and we just like fuck with the market by like creating a
ton of this is literally all these fucking Bionicle Bros on,
on TikTok that I've been seeing.They're just like, there's like,
look how cool these are. Wouldn't it be crazy if they
were each worth $1000 like that?That's literally what they're
(21:58):
doing. Like with the the custom sets.
OK, Yeah. Tell me about.
Tell me. Tell me.
Speaking of custom sets, like some of them out there are
insane and it's like just absolutely crazy.
Just the creativity that goes into how they design them.
And then on the other end of that spectrum where, you know,
rule 34, if it exists, there's porn of it.
(22:20):
Like they're they're these custom sets of these like
essentially anime waifus as bionicles that have big old
massive dobon hungaros. You know, a real set of who's a
who's Ahana's tits. They have big boobies.
Like you could fit a whole map of Matanui on those.
(22:47):
No one, no one fucking will get that joke.
They'll be like what the fuck isMatanui?
This is a good joke. Everybody laughs.
Fucking autistic like I know Bionicle fucking Oh God damn I
was like the only thing is my brain is boobs and bionicles.
When you're when you're editing this later, can you just add a
(23:09):
picture right here of of monstersexy oh of sexy bionicle sex.
Yeah, I'll get I'll get a I'll I'll well, I might make it a
clip and then we'll do I'll put like a like a slap, a slap a
sexy. Make sure her tits are real
quick. You got a couple of bionicle
tubes on your chest, if you knowwhat I'm saying.
(23:30):
Oh man, they did. They, you know areola, you know
nipple. It was good practice when I was
a kid, you know. Literally Jesus Christ, you know
(23:50):
golly the blue Toa was ran through if she was the only if
she was the only female Toa. Toa are like the big like.
Toas are like the heroes they'relike.
What it's There's six of them. There's leiwa, tahu gali, pohatu
anua. And did I say Leiwa already?
(24:14):
Yeah, Leiwa Kopaku. Kopaku is the brown.
The pahatu is brown. Oh yeah, Pahatu is like potato
brown. Yeah.
Golly is blue Lewa's green on Nua.
Is black black black a new one? Kopaku is the the white whites.
Yes, obviously. Starting with a kopaku, that's
(24:38):
one, oddly enough, line up all the.
Kopakus So I think they Lego sawfit to make sure that no one
ever got that idea with Galli being run through because
they're all brothers and sisters.
Oh, that's right. That's so right, but I mean in
(24:58):
the land of Montanui, I mean like, how the fuck do you make
an how the fuck do you make a a Taraga?
How How do you give birth to a Taraga if you don't I.
Think I think Matanui just shitsthem out.
I think so too, because they don't like, they like, Yeah,
(25:19):
we'll have to watch the movie onSeptember 16th.
I'll be on DVD though. Literally what's great.
Yeah. Oh, man.
OK, OK. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
So what? What was I saying about the I
was going back in the Bionicle lore?
How about the hugas or whatever they're?
(25:41):
Called the Taragas. Yeah, the Taragas cause in the
movie if I remember correctly. This was crazy.
Did you watch the movie a lot? Oh yeah, I watched it.
A ton, dude. All the time.
But now I can't remember anything about like they.
I still remember it. The Dude, yeah.
They played Coley. That was their version of
soccer. Oh my fucking God, that's what
(26:02):
the the Taraga have like the thethe little stick thing the
sticks to to play the game. It was called Kohli.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. And you you would think it's
spelled like COAL. i.e. no. Like KOHILLLII?
Oh, oh, OK, so really crazy. OK, this is this is how intense
(26:24):
my love of Bionicle was. I'm really mad at myself because
I don't have it with me, but I had a the lore of Bionicle book.
It was like a like a history of Bionicle, like a book.
And it had how to like translatetheir language, how to read
(26:44):
their symbols, how to like do all of these different things.
And this is I genuinely this, this is how I absorbed all of
this. I took that book and I like
genuinely was just like telling my mom I was like, I was like, I
think I want to like start a class on teaching like any of my
(27:12):
friends that want to learn aboutBionicle and their language.
I just imagine you're however old you are in first grade next
to the table, like your face barely clears the table.
He's like, yeah, there's a there's a language you can
learn. And your mom, just like I just,
I'm trying not to lose the house.
Yeah, like serious, like barely scraping by.
(27:36):
And that's what I get. I'm like everything.
Nothing matters but the lore of Bionicle.
Brother's off in the corner justlike I'm like, I love Matagioli.
Everybody told me about Matagioli.
But like it's not it's nerdy enough that I wanted to play
(27:56):
with them, but I I was just like, it's like, no, that's
that's for, you know, the new adopters.
Those are for people that are discovering Bionicle me, I want
to teach. Like that's how insane like my
brain, like I went straight to just like like I just wanted to,
(28:17):
I wanted to like literally like profess.
You needed to find an excuse to info dump.
Yeah, Profess Bionicle. I wanted to fucking like, I
wanted to give my friends homework on fucking Bionicle and
and it was not, and this is not a bit.
This was a genuine like phase oflike a couple of months where I
(28:41):
was just like, yeah, I think, I think I'm going to do it.
Like I think this is going to belike how, you know, this is
going to be like my hobby. You know what I'm going to do?
Yeah, you know, today's lesson is going to be about Kopaku and
the the ritualistic ice tribe that that he that he led.
So for the homework tonight we're going to be I want you to
(29:02):
write a 10 page essay on one of the rituals that they did.
That sounds like a great class. One of the biggest one of the
biggest travesties of the lore bionicle is the whitewashing of
the of the bukake of golly therewas a around 2004 there was a
(29:24):
crazy bukake video going around around the the blue toa.
When When was the last time thatyou watched the Mask of Light
movie? It had to be like it was before
2010, so. Yeah, me too.
(29:47):
Totally. You you did you watch it post
2010 like in your teen years maybe?
Not my teen years, but like in the last couple years, I was
probably, oh really? I probably.
Like you revisited. It I, I, I, I, I can't remember
the, the events that led up to it, but something was like, oh,
I wonder what like, you know, sort of Bionicle content is out
(30:10):
there. And I probably just searched on
YouTube like bask of Light movieand I watched it and it was
like, still fucks. Yeah.
This shit still fucks. This is awesome.
It's. It's pretty much Lord of the
Rings, but. Yeah, I know it.
It really is. Like they go, they're trying to
get a golden mask and they're trying to get like a, you know,
(30:31):
like the chosen 1 and there's a big bad guy Makuta.
Makuta was tight. I've got like the most of the
fucking chassis of Makuta right there.
He's like the big, the big one with like that.
Yeah, that one that's that's most of most of Makuta.
But I need to just go back and just rebuild them all.
(30:53):
Rebuild, rebuild them all, put them all together.
And but yeah, these fucking rock.
She Oh my God. Oh, wait, I thought this one was
still sealed. I was about to like, bro, you
got 10 bucks right there. I just found 10 bucks.
(31:13):
So I I went down a rabbit hole of the voice actors who were in
the Mask of Light movie. They.
All killed themselves. They're all dead.
Genuinely, though, I was lookingto see like any of them dead.
No, they're all they're all fineas far as I can tell.
But they're also like, I don't want to say a bunch of nobodies
because yeah, sure. But like I think the the biggest
(31:38):
person they had was like fuck, Imight have to look.
It up. No, you're good.
You're. Good, I know he he voiced like
Majin Buu on Dragon Ball Z. OK, nice Mask of light.
You know what? OK, I'll take a moment while
you, while you look that up. I'm going to explain.
OK, If you are totally lost at this point and you're still
(32:04):
around somehow, by the way, thisthe whole thing is there's like,
what is it 6 heroes? Yeah, 6 heroes and everything is
divided into elements. And that was like kind of the
big way is like color code them fire, water, stone, air, ice and
earth. I like that stone and earth are
(32:27):
two separate elements. And you know, what's weird about
the air is that that's green. You know what I'm saying?
Like green was green was air, but he was like nature as well.
It was kind of a it was a reallyweird kind of like a shoehorning
that in. But anyways, it was like a
nerdier Power Rangers, a nerd. Like, I don't know man.
(32:51):
Scott McNeil, He voiced Tahu andhe is known for playing Tukolo.
Tahu's the main red. Yeah, right.
Yeah. He's known for voicing Piccolo
and Majin Buu and Dragon Ball Z,and then he was known for doing
Dinobot and Rat Trap and Silver Bolt in Transformers Beast Wars.
Oh wow, so he had a big job there.
(33:12):
And he's also the in the live action Scooby-doo 2 monsters
unleashed. He was the evil mass figure.
That's like mystery ink, really.Yeah, wow.
He had a pretty, he had a prettygood run there.
He had a pretty good run. That was that was about, I think
he was probably the most famous of anyone else in that movie.
(33:36):
Dude, could you imagine? Could you imagine if they got
like serious a listers just like?
I mean, if they've ever remade it, because I mean, shit, look
at The Lego Movie has Chris Pratt, Chris Pratt, Morgan
Freeman, Morgan, that's about it.
I don't know. There's a bunch of really.
(33:57):
Will Arnett, Nick Offerman Will Arnett is Batman Bartman.
Really. They have a ton of people's I
think like. Elizabeth Banks is like the
whatever I think, right? Elizabeth Banks, she's like.
Yeah, wild style, yeah, but I feel like now if they were to
remake it, which honestly I hopethey don't.
I'm so tired of remakes. Remaking Bionicle?
(34:18):
Yeah, you would. You would not come out.
Not because they're going to. Ruin it, you and I.
You and I wouldn't. Even if they ruined it, we
wouldn't go see. I mean, we're going to go see.
We would, yeah. We're going to go see it.
We we have to tell. Yeah, we're not taking our
wives. No.
No, they they will ruin it. But it's going to be like,
coming this summer. Tahu is played by Chris Pratt.
(34:43):
Dude, if Chris Pratt played Tahu.
I'm going to save. I'm going to save Montanui,
guys. It's me, Chris.
Pratt. Hello.
Yeah, it'll be Chris Pratt. And oh, who's the, what's the
guy from Always Sunny did Luigi in Super Mario?
Charlie Day. Charlie Day.
(35:03):
Yeah. Jack Black.
Yeah, Jack Black. Jack Black would be Makuta.
Whoa, I'm. Going to take down Matanui.
Yeah, yeah. Whoa.
And he'd have a song. The Mask of Light.
The Mask of Light on Matanui. Yeah.
(35:25):
And we'd be very, very pissed because that's kind of how
corny. And because that's corny, but
like we want it so corny that it's like, but what about the
lore? Like what about the Chronicle of
Bionicle? OK, here's a fun fact.
Did you know that the B in LGBTQis for Bionicle is for Bionicle?
(35:58):
Is the L for Lego? Is the LS for Lego G is still
for gay? Which that was that threw me.
That threw me for a loop. Oh man.
What's the What's the T for? T is for is just for
Transformers, Transformers yes, which ripped them off and then
cues for any questions. I think we're good here, so.
(36:23):
The I is for info dump. Really, we're just changing
LGBTQ to the autism. Spectrum trains Bionicle, Lego.
Fuck. GameStop.
Did you ever buy GameStop stock?Sure as fuck did.
Damn. I did I so I yeah, back in the I
(36:48):
did a little bit well, OK, I dida little bit of the GameStop
thing and I didn't do anything. I didn't get anything with it.
But with AMC I because it was all AMC GameStop, the whole
diamond hands hodling thing. Yeah, I actually did make like
700 bucks. Like I was like, I was like,
(37:08):
I'll fucking like, I was just onReddit, just like I'll fucking
follow, like do the AMC thing. And I could have made, I could
have made like $2000. But I but I was huddling.
I was diamond hansing so hard with the rest of Reddit and I
was like, yeah, I'm not, I'm notgoing to go.
I'm not going to like not take $700.
(37:31):
I mean, if for me personally, ifI had bought in at like $2.00
and it went to 50, I'd be like. Fuck cash out.
Literally. Yeah, I think my, it was like I
went, it was like I bought in atlike like $7.00 at on AMC and
then I went out at like 30 or 40and I was like like, but it went
(37:52):
up to like 100. It was just nuts.
I couldn't believe it. If I had gone from $2.00 to $50
it's a $48 profit. That's that's 8 bionicle sets.
Everything. Everything in your life.
Could have gone to my local vending machine and just put in
48 bucks. Oh yeah.
You know, that's why they have the the can design like that.
(38:14):
Because they were. There was dispensers.
I don't think there were actual dispensers but like they wanted
it so bad. To have like a have like a
Bionicle station. OK, I will say there are these
dudes and they could be ladies, I don't know.
There's there's like faceless accounts on TikTok that have
(38:35):
they have the the store displaysand they like keep them super
nice and that I want one like I want like when they because they
like have the bionicles, whatever and they have their,
their tubes set up and it's all nice.
I mean that is nostalgic like that.
Like hits me dude. I mean, I feel like you can
(38:56):
probably just go on and just take that.
From the people that have them, like steal.
Them I just mean like at Walmartif they have like.
Walmart doesn't have them anymore.
Yeah, that's fair. Like where would you get them?
Like that means they were on it back then.
Like they were like, oh, here's an OK, here's a, here's an
interesting. I don't know if we know
(39:19):
personally because we've been really rare in Waco, probably.
But it said, like in my researchthat this was marketed towards 8
years old to 16 years old. Could you imagine like the sick,
like the, the types of Bros, the16 year olds, because we got in
(39:39):
at like 8, you know, 7 and 8. I want to know where those 16
year olds are. Like I want to talk to one of
them that was like really like this is fucking tight like like
that, that latched on to them. Then you know what I'm saying?
Because they would be what, like40 close, getting close.
I want to talk to one of those guys.
(40:00):
I want to talk to their mom. I want to because that sounds
awesome. Because they were because like
they were like racing towards like when I'm 18, I'm going to
buy every Bionicle. Like no one's going to stop me.
Like that's that would been their, like their goal in life,
(40:21):
yeah, is to collect all of them.I mean a pretty doable goal back
then. Yeah, I just saw on this one the
price tag still on it. Yeah, from Walmart.
I don't. I don't really know what these
did. It says O7-50-O four.
I don't really know. I thought that was maybe the
date. But no, that's my social fuck I.
(40:45):
Left there's a couple numbers. There I left it on that bottle
of Leiwa, right? There but this cost 788 with tax
something like this today 20 bucks at least.
Yeah, $20.00 at least. Maybe it like pushing 25 if
yeah, like it's probably, it's probably 25 for the heroes, the
(41:08):
Toa and then like 20 for the badguys like the Borock, you know?
There's 46 pieces. There's a way to like calculate
because Lego pieces are like they cost a certain.
Oh. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
How many pieces? Are on the ratio of like Lego
pieces to dollars. Yeah, yeah, interesting.
Yeah, interesting. Well, yeah, yeah, huge, huge
(41:33):
part of my upbringing, my life, the mask of light.
I mean, you just can't get better than.
That yeah, it's still a fucking dope movie.
OK, so yes it is. Yes it is.
Yes it is cool. It is.
It's a great, it's an incrediblefilm.
Don't fucking patronize me. It's a fucking incredible film.
I'm the one hosting a podcast. Like, it sure is, buddy.
(41:59):
I'm going to make you look like the lame one.
OK, so in 2010, it started to die off.
And because we got older, you know, we abandoned it.
It's our, it's our fault. I mean to be fair though, they
(42:19):
were also like. They got weirder.
Yeah, they got weirder. They tried to shoot too many
things. Yeah, they were.
They were turning into like little guns.
What was their fucking deal withdiscs?
Yeah, they love discs. I think I've got there's one,
there's one box, I've got some discs in there because I tried,
I genuinely tried to do keep going with the discs and but it
(42:44):
it just wasn't the same. I just want, I just wanted the
like, I just wanted the just themovers, like just a little.
I saw a piece in here that reminded me of like when I fell
off of Bionicle. Yeah, there's a few like, hold
on, all it takes. All it takes is like one, one or
(43:05):
two. And then you're like, oh dude,
here we go. Then at one point they started
having these guys where they were rubber, these dudes.
Those were the ones the sets that I like.
I stopped. It's getting there.
It's pretty lame. They're like they have like
rubber add-ons. They have like a body condom and
(43:27):
then like these weird teeth. They like gave them teeth and
like a face. Like the masks are cool enough.
We don't need teeth. I don't know, man.
And then this thing was supposedto shoot balls.
Yeah, when you look at the concept art of the like the
proto Bionicle, the voodoo, whatever thing, the skulls look
(43:48):
just like those things. OK.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. So maybe they were just like,
oh, let's fucking go back to thevoodoo idea.
So which one was your favorite of all time?
Takanova Taka Nuva, which was the mask of light one.
The mask of light words like white and gold.
That guy. Mine literally was this one
(44:10):
right here. Anua Nuva.
If if it wasn't, you know, the big ultra golden light one that
everyone's supposed to love. If I have to pick the of the
original 6, I'm torn between Lewa the green one.
Yeah, I think you have that tubeover the eye, brother.
Not that one. No, that's like, yeah, that's
(44:31):
like a future next. Gen. or kopaku Kopaku Kopaku in
the movie was like ice cold. Too cool.
He was too cool and he had the, the laser eye.
They, they do a, they do a visual bit in there where they
like do a camera shot like through his eye.
And I was like, oh shit. That's sick as hell.
(44:53):
That's. Fucking sick.
He's like a sniper. And so the the OG Bionicle, like
the first Gen., their masks had a code on the inside that if you
put it in online, it would do like a you'd get like a 32nd.
Clip of porn like it was just like in Doctor.
It was just like a second clip of 2 girls 1 cup.
(45:15):
Wouldn't it be, wouldn't it be crazy if we gave these codes to
children? That'd be so sick.
There's a 32nd code of of that Bionicle doing something cool.
So just so Kopaku, his thing washe like, there's like an
avalanche coming towards him andhe's like acting all cool, like
I'm unbothered. And then at the last second he
like turns around, puts his sword up and like freezes the
(45:37):
avalanche. I'm like that's.
Dope as fuck. But I like Leiwa a lot.
The green one. Yeah, 'cause he in the movie, he
just had a funny way of speaking.
Like, like he was just like the,it was like poor like, yeah, he
had a funny way of speaking. He was like, they made him from
(45:59):
the jungle. They were just like this guy.
Yeah, I think, I think the we can't make the brown one or the
black one, like have a differentvoice.
So we'll just do green one from the jungle.
Funny voice. The brown or the black one are
just like. Hey, we have deep voice.
We have a gravely deep. Yeah, we are.
We're from the rocks. And then Leila was like, I think
(46:20):
one of his lines is like, never wind fly upon gecko bird me not
never just the this weird fucking.
Oh yeah. Whimsical.
You're. So right, he had like a pop,
like a pop like it was. I remember that now.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. He he's like all bubbly and
whatever and he was of the air. But nature, I don't like the I.
(46:46):
Now looking back, Spirit, yeah, OK.
One of the the last thing I wantto talk about is the over one of
the overall themes of like that era of the 2000s and like pop
culture for like kids our age. So much had to do with like the
Jungle Island stuff and like, you know, like like kind of
(47:12):
digging kind of things and like artifacts.
Yeah. So much like video games are
like that. Because you loved did did you
love Banjo Kazooie? Oh my God.
OK, so that kind of that kind ofstuff tack in the power of juju.
All of the stuff was just like really jungly.
Like everything was so jungly themed, like even Pokémon, it
(47:35):
was always in like the woods andthe jungles.
Like there, you know, so much about nature and islands.
And this was definitely in the pocket of that as well.
And I, I don't really understandwhat the fascination was with
all that because like, even Rocket power was like upset, you
know, surfing, like surfing was huge among kids that never
(47:58):
surfed in their life. You know what I'm saying?
I was one of them. They, they were just trying to
maybe I, me personally, when I look back at my childhood, as
you know, through rose tinted glasses, I feel as though
corporations still gave a shit and weren't just trying to make
a buck. And so they're kind of saying
like, hey, go outside. Yeah.
(48:21):
Yeah, no, go outside please, maybe and like Capri Suns like
that all fits in the thing, but OK, that's a good point.
But my counter argument is they were just trying to soften the
blow Whenever it's like one day millennials will be like, hey,
we did a kind of just commercialize Hawaii and kind of
(48:43):
fuck over, kind of fuck over allthese indigenous people.
But like if we make them, if we make them kind of love the
aesthetic, they'll be like, well, look what we got out of
it. It's like, I mean, I'm not going
to give up. I mean, I don't give a fuck
(49:03):
anymore. I mean, I could definitely see
them being like, hey, Indigenouspeople, they're pretty cool.
Right, pretty cool. It's like we we own their shit,
but it's pretty cool it's. Pretty cool.
And also just trying to look at the indigenous people be like,
see, we think you guys are pretty cool.
(49:24):
Maybe you can forgive us for allthe genocide.
That's, that's kind of it definitely made it to where it
was like, yeah, no, I, I, I'll never give up that aesthetic.
Oh, man. I do want to, yeah.
Like at some point I want to dive down to all those like 90s,
early 2000s aesthetics. Like, you know the one.
(49:49):
Oh my God, what is it called? It's like Aqua.
Oh my fucking shit. Aquafina.
Not Aquafina here by some time I'll look it up.
Aesthetic. Fuck.
It's called frutiger arrow fruitfruit.
(50:10):
It's not a slur. It's frutiger arrow digital
digital design which is known for the use of glossy, glassy
and airy or sky like elements. This was OK, Frutiger.
That it really does sound like aslur.
It was the, the the. Slur of the fucking fruit.
(50:31):
This whoa, this. Do you remember this shit?
Like everything was like bubbly.Oh yeah, this style definitely
like desktop background, airy, airy, bubbly, clear.
It was like, you know how all ofthe technology back then there
was always like a clear version like, or a not an opaque, but
(50:51):
you know what I'm talking about.Yeah, this style of shit, all of
that. It's since been retired, thank
God, but. Yeah, 'cause Galley's mask was
fucking translucent. Yeah, this one, I hated it.
Literally. Right.
None of the other ones are like that.
You didn't like it? No, hers is the only one that
(51:13):
you can see through. I'm like why?
Yeah, dude, you 'cause. It's so she can see.
Underwater. Go underwater, you know you
could have a gallon of cum on your face and still see the rest
of it. Thank you for listening to Worse

Strange in here. What's the deal with OH?
(02:04):
Welcome to the island of Matanuri.
In the time before time, per thebylaws of this podcast, sure, we
do have to have at least one impression.
I guess so. I guess that those are the
rules. I unfortunately strangleholded
myself, put my pigeon, hold myself in.
(02:25):
Indeed, indeed. OK, so I'm going to take you
back. It's like 2007.
You're, you're at home, you're watching Cartoon Network.
Your favorite show Ben 10 is on.Oh my God, yeah.
He just went forearms and he's about to, he's about to fight.
Vilgax goes to commercial break as it's coming back from
(02:46):
commercial break. The hit band Barenaked Ladies is
announcing to you that Ben has come back from commercial break.
He hits Ben one waste you looks me.
It cuts off. It's Ben.
(03:07):
It's Ben. That's literally what the bit
what they did that on the no. That's my bit.
Oh, that's just your bit. That's amazing.
You just fucking stemming out toBen.
It's Ben, it's banned. It's like he's back.
It's Ben. Ben Tan just loves Ben 10 so
(03:33):
much. I mean to be fair and fucking
cool show, but not as cool as Bionicle.
Not as cool as Bionicle. OK, we're going into Bionicle
land. Matanui, let me just change my
brightness settings. Auto log, never perfect.
OK, because I've got notes on Bionicle.
(03:55):
This set sold separately. Each set sold.
Fuck it was Oh my God. OK, OK, do you know why?
By the Lego, this is Coleman. Thank you, Coleman, for coming
and doing the Bionicle deep dive.
It's not going to be very deep. It's going to be pretty shallow,
and there's going to be a lot ofriffs and unsavory language.
Welcome to Worst Impressions. This is the Bionicle show.
(04:23):
Myself Burn. Everybody's everybody's been
chomping at the bit since 2001 to hear our take on.
Everybody's been asking when arewe going to get the bio Bionicle
episode when here it is. OK, do you know why they Lego
made Bionicle? I do to, to an extent.
(04:45):
Lego was failing miserably. Yeah, in in the late 1900s.
You see in the late 1900s. I shouldn't say that in the late
90s, not 1900s. Hello, I'm an idiot.
It's so funny, just like oh way way after.
World way after World. War 2 when Lego when Lego was
(05:08):
failing in the 1900, that's how that's how historians in like in
like the year 3000 was like Bionicle in the late 1900s Lego
was failing and then it's. I'm pretty hey, I'm pretty sure
that Lego did come out in like 2001.
(05:31):
No, not Bionicle. Lego came out late.
Oh, Christ. Well, that's not in my notes. 30
years of shit. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
It's been around a while, right?Because it.
Started off, it started off as like big, like I think they were
a Lincoln Log Company kind of thing.
They were. I don't know that that's a very
different episode. But anyways, in the late 1900s,
(05:53):
Lego was, was just like, what dowe do, you know?
Like Galaga, obviously. Are they Swiss Lego?
What? Are they sure?
Swiss sounds right, One of thoseHinga Vinga during the
countries. I went immediately in the
Indians like that our Lego is failing.
(06:14):
What do we going to do? And but some bro, some awesome
island jungle bro was just like,so it's here's an idea and they
can't. It was they they were going to
go. They were going to call it like
Bionites. They had like a couple of
different names. See there?
(06:35):
There were a few iterations before they landed on Bionicle
and they like actually released.The first one was like slice
something slicers or something. Slicer like slicer bots and then
there's like robo something yeahyeah, it was like robo garbage
or. Something and the third one
there, it started as like Voodoo, Voodoo guy or no skull
(07:02):
heads from Voodoo Island or something.
Why did it OK where I literally have this room?
Now I know what you're talking about.
OK, hold on. But the the design that they had
for the the voodoo one, the lastiteration, like the skulls were
(07:23):
super big and the whole thing was like a rock em sock em
robots. And they want to.
They want to beat off that. Yeah, they want to beat off the
head. They want to beat off your head
till your head explodes. Yeah, off the top.
And for some reason that just wasn't gelling with them.
And then someone came up with the masks that you put on the
skull, and then they're like. Yeah, here.
(07:44):
So this is a, this is a later Gen.
Bionicle missing some arms. She's blue, so she's obviously
the woman of the crew. And this is one of the masks
there, red means man and as wellas brown, white, black.
All. Black, green, white, brown,
(08:05):
black, red, those are all those are men's colors and women get
the blue. One surprisingly, also pink.
Yeah, there's a pink one. There's no pink one.
I was like, just like I would have.
I would have had that one. I'm missing it.
I'm missing one. OK.
But OK. So it was originally a
(08:27):
subsidiary of LEGO's Technic series, which I believe Technic
is still going on. Yeah, yeah.
Oh yeah. And 'cause it's like there's a
bunch of moving parts. Like that was another thing.
It wasn't like building a castle.
It wasn't building. I mean, there was cars at the
time and it wasn't like building, you know, like a
(08:49):
little city. You they wanted to what if we
built a person? Like what if we built a creature
that came alive and that's wherelike the bio part comes from?
And then they wanted it to be really story driven, which is
kind of a low key. Like what is it under under
(09:11):
appreciated part of it? Like it was like, it was like
really rich with like lore and stories and shit.
And so that's why they, it was aBionicle bio chronicle, like
biology and chronicle. And then they mashed those
together as they did in the early 2000s, you know, Jay-Z and
(09:32):
Linkin Park style, just pushing them together and we get
Bionicle. And yeah, in 2001.
It was probably the coolest thing to happen in 2001.
Overshadowed by. Pokémon.
Pokémon, yes. That's the other thing that
happened in two in 2001. Other Pokémon games, sure.
(09:54):
Was looking at it now if you look at like Pokémon versus
Legos in general, I can't remember the last time I played
a Pokémon game. Because to me.
I'm just like, this is all just the same soup reheated.
Over and over. That's fair.
I OK, if we're going to do, if this is the Pokémon Pokémon
(10:15):
versus Bionicle part of the pod,I I find myself still playing
Pokémon because it's like easieraccess.
Like I don't know, I can't keep up with all of these like sets
or anything clearly, like they're all like giant just like
abominations. But I do appreciate how Lego
(10:39):
just like it. It's like it.
It's eternal. Yeah.
You know, like I I've got, I've dug these out and they're still
perfect in every. Dope as hell.
Perfect in every way. Unless it came with the rubber
bands like the bull rocks normally do they?
Got the rubber bands. Oh shit, it's it's still intact.
For you. For you.
(11:00):
This way, yeah, if they would make condoms out of that type
of, we wouldn't have any problems.
All of our problems would go away.
I'm trying to see if I got any masks.
Where are all my little masks? Inside the Borax.
I know some of them you put on these.
(11:21):
Guys. Oh yeah, I like stuck them on
their face whenever. OK, whenever I discovered you
could put the little gel masks on.
Motherfucker. Yeah, that guy right there.
Delicious. Whenever I found this particular
Zoom in everybody, this tiny little mask, you can like put it
on somebody's face, not this face.
(11:47):
Yeah, because that's a new Gin 1here.
Yeah, that's this guy. Oh, yeah.
Yeah. Older gin head.
Here we go. This is the like that's gone.
Oh, fuck yeah. Look how cool that looks.
Don't you just want to everyone?Don't you just want to come to
(12:07):
my house and suck me off after after seeing this?
I mean, Jesus Christ, I'll be beating him away with a stick.
No, you're going to have it. You want to play.
With you want. To play with a toy.
OK, so Coleman, yeah, I feel like early on.
(12:29):
I feel like early on that is oneof the things that we bonded
over and we became friends over Bionicle.
I don't know if you had them before, like like as I knew you
were. We both like saw them because
2001 we would be in first grade,yeah.
As good as mine? I think so.
I think so, yeah. If 2001 OK.
(12:52):
Yes, actually, the way I remember is because in 2000 I
was in kindergarten and I remember there's a whole thing
about it being the new millenniaor whatever.
So then yeah, the year after first grade since 2000 and.
One yeah. And so when I there, it was kind
of a phenomenon like, and specifically at our school when
(13:15):
we were in elementary school, they were everybody brought
these to school and like battledthem.
Did you ever do that? No, because I didn't want to
lose my parts. OK, so thank you.
Because I always felt like such a pussy because I was just like,
I would just be like, I was like, yeah, they'd be like, so
do you have them? And I was like, yes.
I was like, we'll bring it home.He was like, bring him up here.
(13:35):
We'll battle him. And I was like, no, there's no
way. Because you will steal my pieces
and you will break my you will break my things.
Yep. I I have I have two stories.
One when the Rockshi came out. OK Rockshi, let's get a box
Bang. So these were the villains, the
Mask of Light movie. That was a trailer we heard of
(13:59):
the zombies show. So when the Rockshi were first
released, I guess it was like maybe around either my birthday
or Christmas, but I got all six.Dude, keep your.
Yeah, and so I remember my mom, for whatever reason, said I
couldn't build them until she got home.
I I'm I might actually ask her why now as a 31 year old.
(14:23):
Mom, do you remember pulled out a gun.
Mom, you remember in 2000, 2001,2002, whenever you wouldn't let
me build my walk sheets, she'll be like you.
Shut the fuck up. So I built them anyway when even
though she wasn't home yet. And then I got in big trouble.
And that's one memory I have with like Bionicle specifically.
(14:45):
They melted them down. They were like, it's like
there's like you played with them at the wrong time.
We're going to, we're going to smelt, smelt these.
The other one doesn't. It's not necessarily Bionicle
related, but the one time I likeI I think this was after I moved
to Robinson, after, you know, wedrifted.
(15:08):
Yeah, I I brought my. Having sex as kids.
I brought my Transformers. To school because there is this
kid who's he was like, oh, I'll paint your optimist so that it's
Nemesis Prime and so it's like the the black paint job that
(15:30):
that he gets. He wanted to paint.
He wanted to paint your guy. Yeah, and he like he shouldn't
to be fair, like he he actually did paint them.
He was like a Warhammer painter type kid before that was a
thing. Nice.
And so like I believed him. And so I bring him.
I brought him my optimist. I brought him my tidal wave,
which is like the big fucker that like you.
(15:52):
Bring him a towel because he's swimming and all that pussy.
He's had so many girlfriends or boyfriends, whichever 1.
I mean, who like if you, if you're the, the type of guy he's
describing, I mean, you can't keep him away with this kind of
stuff with that energy. Honestly, so I brought those two
(16:13):
and maybe a couple others and he's like OK am I paying him?
Never saw that kid again. So Kenneth, I think your name
is, if you're out there, fuck. You no way give.
Me, my optimist. Never mind you were never
swimming in pussy. You only could dream of the
swimming pool full of vaginas. So that was, I think at that
point I was like, I'm never bringing one of my toys to
(16:35):
school ever again. Hell no dude, that's fucked up.
I would be pissed. Yeah.
You know, they're always like, what creates a school shooter,
You know what I'm saying? Like, what is it?
The video. Games.
No, it's it's, it's where you bring your Transformers to
school because you can't promisethat you paint them and then you
(16:55):
never see your Transformers again.
They're always, they're always trying to crack the code on what
causes this phenomenon. This.
Specifically this. I don't know why it happens
every single day, but. Oh my God.
(17:16):
OK, let's go down through some of this lore here.
Unlike most Lego themes. So yeah, that that was another
thing. So the the story part of Sorry
about your tragic story, Jesus Christ.
It's fine. That's a fucking sucks I.
It's fine. So we're going to have the Lego
version of Optimus Prime, and it's all good.
(17:37):
OK, thank God. Yeah, you're going to paint that
one. No.
God, that sucks, dude. Oh, man.
OK, OK, yeah, before we go into the war or whatever, do you
have? And I, I can kind of assume the
answer, but like, I just want toask, do you have an attachment
(17:58):
to things like, you know, toys and stuff from your childhood
that it, is it more emotionally driven?
Or is it like, no, these are just fucking cool collectibles?
Because mine is like a mixture of both.
Yeah, definitely a mixture of both.
I mean, hell, I still have all of my Legos from when I was a
kid and I'm still buying them tothis day.
(18:20):
Well, maybe not at this particular moment, because
shit's rough. Have you seen the prices of Lego
sets? It's stupid.
Yeah, they're. Insane.
They're, they're so insane. They're selling them to, you
know, 40 plus year old millennials who like got the
last good jobs, you know what I'm saying?
Like the ones that are just like, oh actually shit's not as
(18:40):
bad for us anymore. The at the top of a millennial.
Like oh I I think I will buy a $1000 Death Star.
And then also I will buy all of the rest on the pallet and then
resell them on my wife's like Etsy or whatever the fuck on
eBay store or whatever the hell and just drive up all of the
prices. Yeah, but I, I, I might be
(19:01):
leaning more towards the emotional side because for me, I
just, I find comfort in, I guessspecifically my Lego sets.
If, if you like, go into my office, you're just surrounded
by all sorts of Lego sets. And now that you've brought
Bionicle back into my life, I'm probably going to dig into my
(19:23):
gigantic tote of Lego pieces andjust find all the Technic parts
and rebuild all of my Bionicle sets because good God that I
have a lot of them. Dude, yeah, we got to, yeah, we
got to, we got to like put our, you know, our bionicles next to
each other and see which ones are longer and like, you know
(19:45):
what I'm saying? We just got to because that's
how it felt with these guys, these boys bringing them just
like my bionicles. These were just like, they're
Dicks before they had Dicks. And it's just like, all right.
Mine doesn't matter about how tall it is, it's how I use it.
Oh yes. Well, mine is black with
chainsaw hands. I was like, where were you going
(20:09):
with that? I was like chainsaw hands and
mine. Is brown with wide birthing for
some reason, But do you know which one I'm talking about?
The brown one. Pohatu.
Oh yeah, pohat pohat I got. This one I don't think the later
versions they didn't do it but like oh new one this.
Is yeah, this is a later. One the Gen. one his like the
(20:32):
torso they flipped it upside down so he literally just he was
like. Oh, 'cause his his tools.
I have the two, I have the two bites in the other room, but
we're on his feet. Yeah, yeah.
And you're right, 'cause they put his shoulders at his hips so
he could really, he could reallytake it in.
Yeah, he could really. He had birthing.
He had birthing. OK, I got to see what the what
(20:53):
were the names of the little ones?
I you know what I'm talking. About Yeah, I had it on the tip
of my penis. Penis, yes.
Weed. Penis yes.
I almost typed in tip of the penis.
Well, let's see. Small bionicle Bros, Small
(21:14):
Bionicles. These were the Turaga.
Yeah, the Turaga that like, I think it started with
McDonald's. It's like McDonald's had the
little and the Happy Meal toys. Hell yeah, dude.
And now people probably sell them on eBay for $1000.
They you have the these full sets are like 100 and 15120 on
eBay. That's it.
Pretty crazy. Yeah.
It's not. It's not that it's not.
(21:35):
That bad? It's not crazy.
But see, The thing is, if we just bring Bionicle back into
like and we just like fuck with the market by like creating a
ton of this is literally all these fucking Bionicle Bros on,
on TikTok that I've been seeing.They're just like, there's like,
look how cool these are. Wouldn't it be crazy if they
were each worth $1000 like that?That's literally what they're
(21:58):
doing. Like with the the custom sets.
OK, Yeah. Tell me about.
Tell me. Tell me.
Speaking of custom sets, like some of them out there are
insane and it's like just absolutely crazy.
Just the creativity that goes into how they design them.
And then on the other end of that spectrum where, you know,
rule 34, if it exists, there's porn of it.
(22:20):
Like they're they're these custom sets of these like
essentially anime waifus as bionicles that have big old
massive dobon hungaros. You know, a real set of who's a
who's Ahana's tits. They have big boobies.
Like you could fit a whole map of Matanui on those.
(22:47):
No one, no one fucking will get that joke.
They'll be like what the fuck isMatanui?
This is a good joke. Everybody laughs.
Fucking autistic like I know Bionicle fucking Oh God damn I
was like the only thing is my brain is boobs and bionicles.
When you're when you're editing this later, can you just add a
(23:09):
picture right here of of monstersexy oh of sexy bionicle sex.
Yeah, I'll get I'll get a I'll I'll well, I might make it a
clip and then we'll do I'll put like a like a slap, a slap a
sexy. Make sure her tits are real
quick. You got a couple of bionicle
tubes on your chest, if you knowwhat I'm saying.
(23:30):
Oh man, they did. They, you know areola, you know
nipple. It was good practice when I was
a kid, you know. Literally Jesus Christ, you know
(23:50):
golly the blue Toa was ran through if she was the only if
she was the only female Toa. Toa are like the big like.
Toas are like the heroes they'relike.
What it's There's six of them. There's leiwa, tahu gali, pohatu
anua. And did I say Leiwa already?
(24:14):
Yeah, Leiwa Kopaku. Kopaku is the brown.
The pahatu is brown. Oh yeah, Pahatu is like potato
brown. Yeah.
Golly is blue Lewa's green on Nua.
Is black black black a new one? Kopaku is the the white whites.
Yes, obviously. Starting with a kopaku, that's
(24:38):
one, oddly enough, line up all the.
Kopakus So I think they Lego sawfit to make sure that no one
ever got that idea with Galli being run through because
they're all brothers and sisters.
Oh, that's right. That's so right, but I mean in
(24:58):
the land of Montanui, I mean like, how the fuck do you make
an how the fuck do you make a a Taraga?
How How do you give birth to a Taraga if you don't I.
Think I think Matanui just shitsthem out.
I think so too, because they don't like, they like, Yeah,
(25:19):
we'll have to watch the movie onSeptember 16th.
I'll be on DVD though. Literally what's great.
Yeah. Oh, man.
OK, OK. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
So what? What was I saying about the I
was going back in the Bionicle lore?
How about the hugas or whatever they're?
(25:41):
Called the Taragas. Yeah, the Taragas cause in the
movie if I remember correctly. This was crazy.
Did you watch the movie a lot? Oh yeah, I watched it.
A ton, dude. All the time.
But now I can't remember anything about like they.
I still remember it. The Dude, yeah.
They played Coley. That was their version of
soccer. Oh my fucking God, that's what
(26:02):
the the Taraga have like the thethe little stick thing the
sticks to to play the game. It was called Kohli.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. And you you would think it's
spelled like COAL. i.e. no. Like KOHILLLII?
Oh, oh, OK, so really crazy. OK, this is this is how intense
(26:24):
my love of Bionicle was. I'm really mad at myself because
I don't have it with me, but I had a the lore of Bionicle book.
It was like a like a history of Bionicle, like a book.
And it had how to like translatetheir language, how to read
(26:44):
their symbols, how to like do all of these different things.
And this is I genuinely this, this is how I absorbed all of
this. I took that book and I like
genuinely was just like telling my mom I was like, I was like, I
think I want to like start a class on teaching like any of my
(27:12):
friends that want to learn aboutBionicle and their language.
I just imagine you're however old you are in first grade next
to the table, like your face barely clears the table.
He's like, yeah, there's a there's a language you can
learn. And your mom, just like I just,
I'm trying not to lose the house.
Yeah, like serious, like barely scraping by.
(27:36):
And that's what I get. I'm like everything.
Nothing matters but the lore of Bionicle.
Brother's off in the corner justlike I'm like, I love Matagioli.
Everybody told me about Matagioli.
But like it's not it's nerdy enough that I wanted to play
(27:56):
with them, but I I was just like, it's like, no, that's
that's for, you know, the new adopters.
Those are for people that are discovering Bionicle me, I want
to teach. Like that's how insane like my
brain, like I went straight to just like like I just wanted to,
(28:17):
I wanted to like literally like profess.
You needed to find an excuse to info dump.
Yeah, Profess Bionicle. I wanted to fucking like, I
wanted to give my friends homework on fucking Bionicle and
and it was not, and this is not a bit.
This was a genuine like phase oflike a couple of months where I
(28:41):
was just like, yeah, I think, I think I'm going to do it.
Like I think this is going to belike how, you know, this is
going to be like my hobby. You know what I'm going to do?
Yeah, you know, today's lesson is going to be about Kopaku and
the the ritualistic ice tribe that that he that he led.
So for the homework tonight we're going to be I want you to
(29:02):
write a 10 page essay on one of the rituals that they did.
That sounds like a great class. One of the biggest one of the
biggest travesties of the lore bionicle is the whitewashing of
the of the bukake of golly therewas a around 2004 there was a
(29:24):
crazy bukake video going around around the the blue toa.
When When was the last time thatyou watched the Mask of Light
movie? It had to be like it was before
2010, so. Yeah, me too.
(29:47):
Totally. You you did you watch it post
2010 like in your teen years maybe?
Not my teen years, but like in the last couple years, I was
probably, oh really? I probably.
Like you revisited. It I, I, I, I, I can't remember
the, the events that led up to it, but something was like, oh,
I wonder what like, you know, sort of Bionicle content is out
(30:10):
there. And I probably just searched on
YouTube like bask of Light movieand I watched it and it was
like, still fucks. Yeah.
This shit still fucks. This is awesome.
It's. It's pretty much Lord of the
Rings, but. Yeah, I know it.
It really is. Like they go, they're trying to
get a golden mask and they're trying to get like a, you know,
(30:31):
like the chosen 1 and there's a big bad guy Makuta.
Makuta was tight. I've got like the most of the
fucking chassis of Makuta right there.
He's like the big, the big one with like that.
Yeah, that one that's that's most of most of Makuta.
But I need to just go back and just rebuild them all.
(30:53):
Rebuild, rebuild them all, put them all together.
And but yeah, these fucking rock.
She Oh my God. Oh, wait, I thought this one was
still sealed. I was about to like, bro, you
got 10 bucks right there. I just found 10 bucks.
(31:13):
So I I went down a rabbit hole of the voice actors who were in
the Mask of Light movie. They.
All killed themselves. They're all dead.
Genuinely, though, I was lookingto see like any of them dead.
No, they're all they're all fineas far as I can tell.
But they're also like, I don't want to say a bunch of nobodies
because yeah, sure. But like I think the the biggest
(31:38):
person they had was like fuck, Imight have to look.
It up. No, you're good.
You're. Good, I know he he voiced like
Majin Buu on Dragon Ball Z. OK, nice Mask of light.
You know what? OK, I'll take a moment while
you, while you look that up. I'm going to explain.
OK, If you are totally lost at this point and you're still
(32:04):
around somehow, by the way, thisthe whole thing is there's like,
what is it 6 heroes? Yeah, 6 heroes and everything is
divided into elements. And that was like kind of the
big way is like color code them fire, water, stone, air, ice and
earth. I like that stone and earth are
(32:27):
two separate elements. And you know, what's weird about
the air is that that's green. You know what I'm saying?
Like green was green was air, but he was like nature as well.
It was kind of a it was a reallyweird kind of like a shoehorning
that in. But anyways, it was like a
nerdier Power Rangers, a nerd. Like, I don't know man.
(32:51):
Scott McNeil, He voiced Tahu andhe is known for playing Tukolo.
Tahu's the main red. Yeah, right.
Yeah. He's known for voicing Piccolo
and Majin Buu and Dragon Ball Z,and then he was known for doing
Dinobot and Rat Trap and Silver Bolt in Transformers Beast Wars.
Oh wow, so he had a big job there.
(33:12):
And he's also the in the live action Scooby-doo 2 monsters
unleashed. He was the evil mass figure.
That's like mystery ink, really.Yeah, wow.
He had a pretty, he had a prettygood run there.
He had a pretty good run. That was that was about, I think
he was probably the most famous of anyone else in that movie.
(33:36):
Dude, could you imagine? Could you imagine if they got
like serious a listers just like?
I mean, if they've ever remade it, because I mean, shit, look
at The Lego Movie has Chris Pratt, Chris Pratt, Morgan
Freeman, Morgan, that's about it.
I don't know. There's a bunch of really.
(33:57):
Will Arnett, Nick Offerman Will Arnett is Batman Bartman.
Really. They have a ton of people's I
think like. Elizabeth Banks is like the
whatever I think, right? Elizabeth Banks, she's like.
Yeah, wild style, yeah, but I feel like now if they were to
remake it, which honestly I hopethey don't.
I'm so tired of remakes. Remaking Bionicle?
(34:18):
Yeah, you would. You would not come out.
Not because they're going to. Ruin it, you and I.
You and I wouldn't. Even if they ruined it, we
wouldn't go see. I mean, we're going to go see.
We would, yeah. We're going to go see it.
We we have to tell. Yeah, we're not taking our
wives. No.
No, they they will ruin it. But it's going to be like,
coming this summer. Tahu is played by Chris Pratt.
(34:43):
Dude, if Chris Pratt played Tahu.
I'm going to save. I'm going to save Montanui,
guys. It's me, Chris.
Pratt. Hello.
Yeah, it'll be Chris Pratt. And oh, who's the, what's the
guy from Always Sunny did Luigi in Super Mario?
Charlie Day. Charlie Day.
(35:03):
Yeah. Jack Black.
Yeah, Jack Black. Jack Black would be Makuta.
Whoa, I'm. Going to take down Matanui.
Yeah, yeah. Whoa.
And he'd have a song. The Mask of Light.
The Mask of Light on Matanui. Yeah.
(35:25):
And we'd be very, very pissed because that's kind of how
corny. And because that's corny, but
like we want it so corny that it's like, but what about the
lore? Like what about the Chronicle of
Bionicle? OK, here's a fun fact.
Did you know that the B in LGBTQis for Bionicle is for Bionicle?
(35:58):
Is the L for Lego? Is the LS for Lego G is still
for gay? Which that was that threw me.
That threw me for a loop. Oh man.
What's the What's the T for? T is for is just for
Transformers, Transformers yes, which ripped them off and then
cues for any questions. I think we're good here, so.
(36:23):
The I is for info dump. Really, we're just changing
LGBTQ to the autism. Spectrum trains Bionicle, Lego.
Fuck. GameStop.
Did you ever buy GameStop stock?Sure as fuck did.
Damn. I did I so I yeah, back in the I
(36:48):
did a little bit well, OK, I dida little bit of the GameStop
thing and I didn't do anything. I didn't get anything with it.
But with AMC I because it was all AMC GameStop, the whole
diamond hands hodling thing. Yeah, I actually did make like
700 bucks. Like I was like, I was like,
(37:08):
I'll fucking like, I was just onReddit, just like I'll fucking
follow, like do the AMC thing. And I could have made, I could
have made like $2000. But I but I was huddling.
I was diamond hansing so hard with the rest of Reddit and I
was like, yeah, I'm not, I'm notgoing to go.
I'm not going to like not take $700.
(37:31):
I mean, if for me personally, ifI had bought in at like $2.00
and it went to 50, I'd be like. Fuck cash out.
Literally. Yeah, I think my, it was like I
went, it was like I bought in atlike like $7.00 at on AMC and
then I went out at like 30 or 40and I was like like, but it went
(37:52):
up to like 100. It was just nuts.
I couldn't believe it. If I had gone from $2.00 to $50
it's a $48 profit. That's that's 8 bionicle sets.
Everything. Everything in your life.
Could have gone to my local vending machine and just put in
48 bucks. Oh yeah.
You know, that's why they have the the can design like that.
(38:14):
Because they were. There was dispensers.
I don't think there were actual dispensers but like they wanted
it so bad. To have like a have like a
Bionicle station. OK, I will say there are these
dudes and they could be ladies, I don't know.
There's there's like faceless accounts on TikTok that have
(38:35):
they have the the store displaysand they like keep them super
nice and that I want one like I want like when they because they
like have the bionicles, whatever and they have their,
their tubes set up and it's all nice.
I mean that is nostalgic like that.
Like hits me dude. I mean, I feel like you can
(38:56):
probably just go on and just take that.
From the people that have them, like steal.
Them I just mean like at Walmartif they have like.
Walmart doesn't have them anymore.
Yeah, that's fair. Like where would you get them?
Like that means they were on it back then.
Like they were like, oh, here's an OK, here's a, here's an
interesting. I don't know if we know
(39:19):
personally because we've been really rare in Waco, probably.
But it said, like in my researchthat this was marketed towards 8
years old to 16 years old. Could you imagine like the sick,
like the, the types of Bros, the16 year olds, because we got in
(39:39):
at like 8, you know, 7 and 8. I want to know where those 16
year olds are. Like I want to talk to one of
them that was like really like this is fucking tight like like
that, that latched on to them. Then you know what I'm saying?
Because they would be what, like40 close, getting close.
I want to talk to one of those guys.
(40:00):
I want to talk to their mom. I want to because that sounds
awesome. Because they were because like
they were like racing towards like when I'm 18, I'm going to
buy every Bionicle. Like no one's going to stop me.
Like that's that would been their, like their goal in life,
(40:21):
yeah, is to collect all of them.I mean a pretty doable goal back
then. Yeah, I just saw on this one the
price tag still on it. Yeah, from Walmart.
I don't. I don't really know what these
did. It says O7-50-O four.
I don't really know. I thought that was maybe the
date. But no, that's my social fuck I.
(40:45):
Left there's a couple numbers. There I left it on that bottle
of Leiwa, right? There but this cost 788 with tax
something like this today 20 bucks at least.
Yeah, $20.00 at least. Maybe it like pushing 25 if
yeah, like it's probably, it's probably 25 for the heroes, the
(41:08):
Toa and then like 20 for the badguys like the Borock, you know?
There's 46 pieces. There's a way to like calculate
because Lego pieces are like they cost a certain.
Oh. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
How many pieces? Are on the ratio of like Lego
pieces to dollars. Yeah, yeah, interesting.
Yeah, interesting. Well, yeah, yeah, huge, huge
(41:33):
part of my upbringing, my life, the mask of light.
I mean, you just can't get better than.
That yeah, it's still a fucking dope movie.
OK, so yes it is. Yes it is.
Yes it is cool. It is.
It's a great, it's an incrediblefilm.
Don't fucking patronize me. It's a fucking incredible film.
I'm the one hosting a podcast. Like, it sure is, buddy.
(41:59):
I'm going to make you look like the lame one.
OK, so in 2010, it started to die off.
And because we got older, you know, we abandoned it.
It's our, it's our fault. I mean to be fair though, they
(42:19):
were also like. They got weirder.
Yeah, they got weirder. They tried to shoot too many
things. Yeah, they were.
They were turning into like little guns.
What was their fucking deal withdiscs?
Yeah, they love discs. I think I've got there's one,
there's one box, I've got some discs in there because I tried,
I genuinely tried to do keep going with the discs and but it
(42:44):
it just wasn't the same. I just want, I just wanted the
like, I just wanted the just themovers, like just a little.
I saw a piece in here that reminded me of like when I fell
off of Bionicle. Yeah, there's a few like, hold
on, all it takes. All it takes is like one, one or
(43:05):
two. And then you're like, oh dude,
here we go. Then at one point they started
having these guys where they were rubber, these dudes.
Those were the ones the sets that I like.
I stopped. It's getting there.
It's pretty lame. They're like they have like
rubber add-ons. They have like a body condom and
(43:27):
then like these weird teeth. They like gave them teeth and
like a face. Like the masks are cool enough.
We don't need teeth. I don't know, man.
And then this thing was supposedto shoot balls.
Yeah, when you look at the concept art of the like the
proto Bionicle, the voodoo, whatever thing, the skulls look
(43:48):
just like those things. OK.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. So maybe they were just like,
oh, let's fucking go back to thevoodoo idea.
So which one was your favorite of all time?
Takanova Taka Nuva, which was the mask of light one.
The mask of light words like white and gold.
That guy. Mine literally was this one
(44:10):
right here. Anua Nuva.
If if it wasn't, you know, the big ultra golden light one that
everyone's supposed to love. If I have to pick the of the
original 6, I'm torn between Lewa the green one.
Yeah, I think you have that tubeover the eye, brother.
Not that one. No, that's like, yeah, that's
(44:31):
like a future next. Gen. or kopaku Kopaku Kopaku in
the movie was like ice cold. Too cool.
He was too cool and he had the, the laser eye.
They, they do a, they do a visual bit in there where they
like do a camera shot like through his eye.
And I was like, oh shit. That's sick as hell.
(44:53):
That's. Fucking sick.
He's like a sniper. And so the the OG Bionicle, like
the first Gen., their masks had a code on the inside that if you
put it in online, it would do like a you'd get like a 32nd.
Clip of porn like it was just like in Doctor.
It was just like a second clip of 2 girls 1 cup.
(45:15):
Wouldn't it be, wouldn't it be crazy if we gave these codes to
children? That'd be so sick.
There's a 32nd code of of that Bionicle doing something cool.
So just so Kopaku, his thing washe like, there's like an
avalanche coming towards him andhe's like acting all cool, like
I'm unbothered. And then at the last second he
like turns around, puts his sword up and like freezes the
(45:37):
avalanche. I'm like that's.
Dope as fuck. But I like Leiwa a lot.
The green one. Yeah, 'cause he in the movie, he
just had a funny way of speaking.
Like, like he was just like the,it was like poor like, yeah, he
had a funny way of speaking. He was like, they made him from
(45:59):
the jungle. They were just like this guy.
Yeah, I think, I think the we can't make the brown one or the
black one, like have a differentvoice.
So we'll just do green one from the jungle.
Funny voice. The brown or the black one are
just like. Hey, we have deep voice.
We have a gravely deep. Yeah, we are.
We're from the rocks. And then Leila was like, I think
(46:20):
one of his lines is like, never wind fly upon gecko bird me not
never just the this weird fucking.
Oh yeah. Whimsical.
You're. So right, he had like a pop,
like a pop like it was. I remember that now.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. He he's like all bubbly and
whatever and he was of the air. But nature, I don't like the I.
(46:46):
Now looking back, Spirit, yeah, OK.
One of the the last thing I wantto talk about is the over one of
the overall themes of like that era of the 2000s and like pop
culture for like kids our age. So much had to do with like the
Jungle Island stuff and like, you know, like like kind of
(47:12):
digging kind of things and like artifacts.
Yeah. So much like video games are
like that. Because you loved did did you
love Banjo Kazooie? Oh my God.
OK, so that kind of that kind ofstuff tack in the power of juju.
All of the stuff was just like really jungly.
Like everything was so jungly themed, like even Pokémon, it
(47:35):
was always in like the woods andthe jungles.
Like there, you know, so much about nature and islands.
And this was definitely in the pocket of that as well.
And I, I don't really understandwhat the fascination was with
all that because like, even Rocket power was like upset, you
know, surfing, like surfing was huge among kids that never
(47:58):
surfed in their life. You know what I'm saying?
I was one of them. They, they were just trying to
maybe I, me personally, when I look back at my childhood, as
you know, through rose tinted glasses, I feel as though
corporations still gave a shit and weren't just trying to make
a buck. And so they're kind of saying
like, hey, go outside. Yeah.
(48:21):
Yeah, no, go outside please, maybe and like Capri Suns like
that all fits in the thing, but OK, that's a good point.
But my counter argument is they were just trying to soften the
blow Whenever it's like one day millennials will be like, hey,
we did a kind of just commercialize Hawaii and kind of
(48:43):
fuck over, kind of fuck over allthese indigenous people.
But like if we make them, if we make them kind of love the
aesthetic, they'll be like, well, look what we got out of
it. It's like, I mean, I'm not going
to give up. I mean, I don't give a fuck
(49:03):
anymore. I mean, I could definitely see
them being like, hey, Indigenouspeople, they're pretty cool.
Right, pretty cool. It's like we we own their shit,
but it's pretty cool it's. Pretty cool.
And also just trying to look at the indigenous people be like,
see, we think you guys are pretty cool.
(49:24):
Maybe you can forgive us for allthe genocide.
That's, that's kind of it definitely made it to where it
was like, yeah, no, I, I, I'll never give up that aesthetic.
Oh, man. I do want to, yeah.
Like at some point I want to dive down to all those like 90s,
early 2000s aesthetics. Like, you know the one.
(49:49):
Oh my God, what is it called? It's like Aqua.
Oh my fucking shit. Aquafina.
Not Aquafina here by some time I'll look it up.
Aesthetic. Fuck.
It's called frutiger arrow fruitfruit.
(50:10):
It's not a slur. It's frutiger arrow digital
digital design which is known for the use of glossy, glassy
and airy or sky like elements. This was OK, Frutiger.
That it really does sound like aslur.
It was the, the the. Slur of the fucking fruit.
(50:31):
This whoa, this. Do you remember this shit?
Like everything was like bubbly.Oh yeah, this style definitely
like desktop background, airy, airy, bubbly, clear.
It was like, you know how all ofthe technology back then there
was always like a clear version like, or a not an opaque, but
(50:51):
you know what I'm talking about.Yeah, this style of shit, all of
that. It's since been retired, thank
God, but. Yeah, 'cause Galley's mask was
fucking translucent. Yeah, this one, I hated it.
Literally. Right.
None of the other ones are like that.
You didn't like it? No, hers is the only one that
(51:13):
you can see through. I'm like why?
Yeah, dude, you 'cause. It's so she can see.
Underwater. Go underwater, you know you
could have a gallon of cum on your face and still see the rest
of it. Thank you for listening to Worse
