In Emotion Week and his computing his way from my hood, my.

Speaker 3 (00:25):
Robot friend, my robot friend, my robot friend, my robot.

Speaker 1 (00:35):
Friend kick as. Welcome to going down to South, part
the podcast where we always have our sales of time,
and this week we certainly had our sales an awesome time.

Speaker 4 (00:50):
I'm Dando and I am guy. Yes, welcome to a
feel good wrong for the whole family. Yeah, awesome, incredibly
relevant and the year twenty twenty five.

Speaker 1 (01:01):
Who knew? I feelt this would have been more relevant
now than it would have been when it first aired.
Very much the case. Yeah, and I thought I would
have realized because I was tybe back twenty years ago.
Were hollywoody execs using AI and way to sort of
come up with ideas? Or is that just meant to be?
This is so wacky that this will possibly never happen.

Speaker 4 (01:18):
To the best of my recollection, twenty years ago, the
only mention of AI was AI Artificial Intelligence, a film
based even Spielberg, released in the year two thousand and one.

Speaker 1 (01:28):
I believe so, I've never seen it.

Speaker 4 (01:30):
Not a bad movie, a bit of a Spielberg went
through a bit of a funky period in the turn
of the century. Yeah, AI is kind of deep and
strange and unsettling in a lot of ways. It's really good.
It's not necessarily to use the term again, I feel good.
Run for the whole family. It's got ideas in there,
and yeah, definitely worth watching. Great performance by Haley Joel Osmond. Yeah,

(01:52):
he was the child's star, the child star of the era.

Speaker 1 (01:56):
Yeah, now he's not. Now he's as high as a
kite on this on the ski slopes and dropping slurs
left and right. He is indeed who among us. But
also though I could really remember the story, I remember
it's just Butters and Cartman just having a bit of
a wacky This feels very wacky this episode. It's like

(02:16):
almost almost like a bunch of stuff happening, doesn't really
feel like there's an overall theme to it. But then
you get to the end and it's like we need
to sort of, you know, realize that maybe artificial intelligence
is real intelligence, and I'm thinking, is this really something
you're going for? Is it just meant to be a
piss take?

Speaker 4 (02:31):
I think this is just we need to tie all
this together. Yeah, how can we do that? Okay? Yeah,
I mean but that's the South Park formula, isn't it.
It is kind Yeah, you're right, and does feel like
a bunch of stuff that happens. It feels like various
sort of plot elements, like we can these aren't crashing
into each other like sort of dubtail. It's not exactly comfortable,
it's not exactly smooth, but it works.

Speaker 1 (02:52):
You know what it is. It's we're so used to
I think these days there's a plot, and usually Cartman
is the wacky subplot. Now where this one. For example,
we had Cartman and The Passion of the Jew where
he was like the subplot with the Hitler. Yes, lockery
with his baby Hitler Channey sounds a good way putting it, Yes,
but she's mentioned in this episode, which I want to

(03:13):
touch on in just a few moments. But we're so
used to that sort of being the side plot, where
now this feels like a side plot that just became
the only plot. You feel like there could have been
an episode where something happens and on the side, Cartman
is tricking Butters into thinking he's a robot and it
gets taken, gets blot out of a portion and he
has to sort of stay as the robot to save
his face. I get where you're coming from, but I
just don't know whether it felt like there was a

(03:35):
full length episode here in Awesome. As much as I
really enjoyed it, it felt like that was stretching it
out quite a bit.

Speaker 4 (03:41):
Yeah, you're right, it does feel like a fairly thin
idea to turn into a whole episode and turned into
an a plot, which.

Speaker 1 (03:46):
Makes sense because did you hear that it took It's
the quickest production in the history of the show, three
days because these guys were busy in Hawaii for a wedding. Now,
I watched this on Plex, right, sue me. Paramount Apparently
it's on Paramount plus Anymore South.

Speaker 4 (03:59):
But oh, look, we could yeah, I don't know. We
did a bit about Paramount. Yeah, all the Shenandingans are
going on. They have just intensified over last last week
or so. It's not just Parker and stone An, it's
broken containment. Yeah, we could talk about that.

Speaker 1 (04:13):
Another time. We will indeed maybe talk about in the
mail Bag episode. That's but originally this was marketed as
being the return of Lemmy Winks, and then that didn't happen, right,
it became the Awesome Thing. I'm not sure whether Train
Matt had a big deal actually making the episode. Well,
it must have, because I did the voices and whatnot.
But apparently when it first aired there was a little
thing at the start saying, unfortunately, let me Weeks will

(04:35):
not be appearing today. Instead, you've got Awesome Ale or
whatever it is. I didn't get that on my plex version,
but apparently when it originally aired, because they've been promoting
Lemmy Winks as the trailer for the episode all the
way up to it and it didn't appear, they had
to sort of acknowledge it. It's interesting.

Speaker 4 (04:48):
I was watching it on I guess the episode that
I have on file take that to take that as
to mean whatever you mean, and it didn't have that
Lemmy Wings thing either.

Speaker 1 (05:00):
This strikes me though.

Speaker 4 (05:01):
As a really interesting creative lesson. You know, sometimes just
go for it, just go into it with little time
for consideration, because, as you said, put together very very quickly,
kind of on the fly.

Speaker 1 (05:14):
Apparently, this is the fifth highest rating episode of South
Park on IMDb. As in as in, as in A really,
it's a lot of fun. I don't think it's the
best episode. What I did like about it was that
the entire episode was essentially Cartman screwing up because he

(05:38):
he's been giving Butter's crap for so long now, right always,
time and time and time again, and he's just taking it.
He's gone one too far this time. Well, he just could,
he couldn't leave it alone, and he's done it, and
he was about to come clean because he will not
come clean. Yeah, but this wasn't meant to be a
long term It wasn't meant to be awesome for a
long time. It's just meant to be tricking butterscause he's
about to go, well, guess what, And he guess what.

(05:58):
I've got a video of him dancing the pretty spears
in the back end. He's like, oh, well, now the
stays awesome. So now he's stuck and he's got himself
in a situation, which is what I think. That's what
I enjoyed the most, was all this stuff happening in
the Cartman. It's his own fault.

Speaker 4 (06:10):
It's beautiful karmic payback. Yeah, I mean, to quote the
title of the previous episode, he's getting f in the
a Yeah, and deservedly so for all the stuff that
he's been doing.

Speaker 1 (06:19):
Yeah. And That's one thing I've gotten in my notes
is that I've realized mostly in this episode here is
Southbank do a really good job of rewarding their long
term viewers, right, because every episode's great, every episode's funny,
entertaining in its own right. But this episode here, in particular,
where Butters acknowledges there was that one time where he
tripped me into thinking there's a media company he made
me stay in the bomb shot of for three days,

(06:41):
and then I think, yes, Leanne that mentions, well, he's
supposed to be granded for trying to the Jews two
weeks ago. Little comments like that make every episode feel like, oh,
it's important, because if you miss those episodes, you have
no idea what they're talking about there, right, So all
these things that are happening, yes, it just felt like
Cartlin was playing the prank on Butters. But all those
things had a payoff, and the payoff was this one

(07:01):
here where Butters is like, well, he doesn't know is
I've got footage of him, and I'm going to get
him back this time. So if you watch this episode
before you watch the other ones, you wouldn't really get what.
It sounds like a funny thing. Oh, he may be
hired in the Bomb Show. It's a funny story. But
if you've seen the episode, you're like, ah, so all
these things have a payoff, similar to when Carmen really
wanted that million dollars. We wanted to we want wanted

(07:21):
a million dollars one a million dollars, and he somehow
and then he inherited and he bought cartman Land. I
think it was ten million dollars whatever it was. Yeah,
but he loves money. That's that little arc. It doesn't
feel like an arc when you're watching it in real time.
But then at the end he go, oh, that was
actually an arc that there's now paying off.

Speaker 4 (07:35):
Oh, absolutely, because yes, he's got all this money that's
actually come from his ideas, from his labor, and there's
no reward for it, so it's given. It's given away
to the ball, which you know really is going to
hit him right in the sweets.

Speaker 1 (07:50):
But right and all the times that he's been mean
to Butters is now getting the payoff here as well.
So this feels like the end of the arc as well.
I just love that they you don't have to wh
not even the end of the yart, but just the
continuation of it. You can still enjoy this episode not
having seen those ones, but if you have washed those
ones as well. This this is a reward for you
for being a dedicated view of the show.

Speaker 4 (08:10):
Yeah, oh yeah, you're right in what you say about
those things that are mentioned. They could just work as
throwaway gags. And then that whole thing about oh yeah,
oh that Timmey he put me in a bumpsheld for
three days, like I remember that, Well, well you either go,
oh yeah, I remember that episode or even if you've
never seen that episode or wound aware that it exists, well,
of course that's something Cartman would do. And then when

(08:31):
Leanne says, oh, he's grounded for trying to exterminate the juice,
that's a funny joke in itself, grounded for trying to
exterminate the juice. But then it's like, oh no, he
actually did that, and there was an episode about it.
It's funny stuff. It also is something that I found
quite funny about this. So we'll go to the Adam
Sandler bit in the minute. We've already alluded to it.
It was missing was the voice.

Speaker 1 (08:53):
That would have been great.

Speaker 4 (08:54):
The whole cartman is a robot and he's but his
best friend as a robot. That's essentially an Adam Sandler
plot that cart wth come up with. You know the
movie Funny People with Sandler, and that's.

Speaker 1 (09:08):
A really good movie. Yeah, yeah. It always feels like
a reflection of where he was in his career at
that point. Oh yeah, absolutely.

Speaker 4 (09:13):
I think there's a You've got a lot of people
in that sort of reckoning with where they're at, whether
it's Appatao who's behind the camera, or Sandler who's in
front of it. Seth Rogen as well. One of the
things I remember most from it is that Sandler's got
this He's a big star, is a movie star. He's
got this house that's got these posters all over the
wall of the movies that he's been in. They did

(09:33):
a really good job with making them look as authentic
as possible.

Speaker 1 (09:35):
But they look just like absolute drek. They look like
the worst movies. You know. It's like I think one
of them. Sandler's like a baby or something in it,
but it's got Adam.

Speaker 4 (09:47):
I do want to talk about the whole Sandler Schneider
thing as well, but there's one that I remember that
actually has like they got Owen Wilson's likeness, and it's
I think the movie is called like my best Friend
is a robot or something and Sandler and it's my
friend is a real bad Owen Wilson's head but like
on a spring, like it's like it's malfunctioning or whatever.

Speaker 1 (10:10):
That's awesome essentially. So yeah, I mean this.

Speaker 4 (10:16):
Appears very simple and very straightforward, and I'm not going
to say slap dash, but you know, as you said,
it was put together very very quickly. There's a lot
going on in it. It's very very well constructed. I
mean it's almost like Parker and Stone at this stage
are operating on muscle memory. They know how to tell
good stories. The Sons of Bitches no story structure. So yeah,
that's that's really great.

Speaker 1 (10:36):
They also that is also the joke in the sense
that when the executives first seat, awesome you think of
what I'm thinking, and obviously you think it's well, this
is the movie boy and he's robot, and he's like,
we could reprogram to think of new movie ideas exactly
as we're touching on earlier though, Right, So the AI
aspect of this, this feels so much more relevant now

(10:59):
than it would have been twenty year. Guys, we're saying
because companies are literally doing this now. Studios are literally
getting AI and going what do audiences want? They're using
robots said, they're using their own version of AWESOMEO, what
movies should we make? And they're making it and.

Speaker 4 (11:12):
People are going, I'm not sure this is exactly what
we want. It's what we want, but we want good versions.

Speaker 1 (11:22):
Yes.

Speaker 4 (11:23):
The thing about show business is it's always been a gamble.
It was founded by hustlers and gamblers and risk takers,
and the best stuff.

Speaker 1 (11:32):
Has always been we're not sure, We're not sure, sends sure,
if this will work, what's it? Because now it's like,
as I said, awesome, what's a guaranteed hit? Yes, yes,
we just want to make something we know is going
to make our money back, as opposed to this is
a gamble. It could go really well or it will
just fail terribly.

Speaker 4 (11:51):
Rewinding a little bit from you know where we're at
now with AI and you know, sort of using it
to generate ideas and generate you know.

Speaker 1 (12:00):
Sort of risk free ideas.

Speaker 4 (12:02):
I think things got a bit sort of off the
rails when tech companies started to enter the entertainment sphere
like Apple and like Amazon that are very sort of
driven by analytics and that kind of thing. You look
at the movies that they put out that have their
name on it, and they generally it's like, what if
we put John Senna and Idris Elbert?

Speaker 1 (12:23):
Please? What did Santa? It's fine?

Speaker 4 (12:28):
My apologies John, who could snap me into kindling? What
if we put John Cena and Idris Elbert as they
are the Prime Minister and the president of and they
hate each other, but I think they have to work.
I love that or something that feels very data driven,

(12:49):
doesn't it. I mean it also feels like something that
you come up with, you know, when you're watching a
dumb ass accents, like you know, what would be really great,
you know if you put this guy in there and
they hand you know, but then there's not a whole
lot that sort of goes on beyond that. I mean, look,
I haven't seen Heads of State now on Amazon prime,
but everything feels kind of his two Stars. Here's a concept,

(13:12):
go make it happen.

Speaker 1 (13:13):
Now.

Speaker 4 (13:14):
You could easily say that about so many movies over
so long, but a lot of those have been forgotten.
The ones that are really remembered generally you have sort
of an element of risk or unpredictability about them.

Speaker 1 (13:24):
Rocky. Everyone No one wants vest st Loane to play
the lead in Rocky. He wrote the script. They offered
him all this month.

Speaker 4 (13:30):
They offe him so much money, and he was broke,
flat on his ass. He said, we'll give you all
the money in the world, but you can't play Rocky. No, no,
I'm Rocky. You take it with me or nothing. What happens, Yeah,
you get Rocky, you gets so Vesta's.

Speaker 1 (13:44):
Loon, he gets a Vestle's loan for the next fifty years.
You get decades of action Star Yeah, star Wars. Everyone's
look at it going, I don't know, man, this seems
kind of weird when I'm making toys for this thing.

Speaker 4 (13:54):
Yes, everything that has staying power or yeah, everything that
has stained power has some degree of risk to it.
So in South Park, the saying oh yeah, absolutely, yeah.
So it's a great lesson for anyone who's even vaguely
creative to make it. Yeah, you know, you may fail,
but what's that old saying. It's like what if I fail?

Speaker 1 (14:15):
Yeah, but what if you fly? Will you favorite most
of the episode?

Speaker 4 (14:24):
I generally enjoyed this episode from beginning to end, so
I mean it was tough picking picking out bits that
really stood out for me, but I do love it
when they they're deep in the Butter's awesome relationship and
the kids come over and Kyle tries to sort of
fuck with the garment a little bit of clary sticks. Yeah,
meet me, cellery sticks, you.

Speaker 1 (14:44):
Know, cut two inches two inches peanut butter raisins on top,
I think garments. But after that he's made in Japan
happy about yeah yeah, because like, well, I don't an
American robot would do that, but you know, the Japanese
do things differently. There's also the order touch on the

(15:05):
element of everyone seems aware of this situation except for Butters.
Oh yeah, And I feel like they do a good
job of covering for the fact that no one's actually
telling him because his parents are like, well, it's just
good that Butters has a friend who wants to stay
over they're getting along fine, they're doing well.

Speaker 4 (15:21):
Leave it b Yes, And I think during a childhood
everyone has had a friend who sort of like gets
too lost in the game and their parents will go
they're enjoying themselves. Okay, let's just you know, let's let's
entertain their delusion. I did love the uncle.

Speaker 1 (15:34):
Though it takes it really seriously. Really, it's a little whisper. Yeah,
but also Kyle standing Ken, you can understand why, especially Kyle,
stand why they wouldn't tell Butters because they realize, oh,
we can now get come and to do what we want.
That's right. Yeah. I did have one question though. So
the episode starts with Butters eating in the doorbell rings, right,

(15:56):
and he's in this box. It requires a crow but
to get out, Okay, he must have an accomplished somewhere.
I reckon Kenny's the accomplice. Which other character in South
Park would be able to keep quiet about it and
would be willing to do this. I feel like Kenny
was the Butchers before Butters.

Speaker 4 (16:12):
I'm glad you went with the answer on this because
I really just asked the question I've written down there.

Speaker 1 (16:16):
How did it come and get himself in that crate? Yeah,
how he nail himself into that crate? I feel like
Kenny get delivered to the Stotch household. All this happened
because Kenny was real quiet when the three boys are there.
I feel Nny's the accomplice yet Okay, then interesting hadn't
really considered that, but I was just mm, yeah, it
doesn't make a whole lot of sense that he's, uh,
how did this happen? Also, the element of he obviously

(16:40):
discussed it with the boys before he did it, because
they knew it was coming from the get go. What
are you doing, fatass? Is what they said when they
answer the door, so they know he's in there. But
the episode starts off with just that. There's no setup.
It's just Cartman is awesome. Do you feel like they
originally had a setup and then it's cut it for
time because it just starts off with Cartman as Awesomo
and the boy, just Kyle in particular, knows it's him

(17:01):
straight away.

Speaker 4 (17:02):
I get the feeling the boys no Cartman, well enough
to go this is something. This is the kind of
dumb ass prank that just looks like it does. Do
they ever hear and speak before they say what are
you doing, fat ass? Maybe I'm not too sure because
that's a pretty distinctive voice as well, even if it's
putting on the rollbud voice.

Speaker 1 (17:19):
I don't I don't think he. I think he just
answered the door and Carle's like, what the hell? What
do you do? Why you still here?

Speaker 4 (17:24):
Yeah? Something else I enjoyed. I thought this was a
really good sort of throwaway line. But when the military
gets involved and you've got the well, first of all,
I really enjoyed anytime the scientists referred to as mistress.

Speaker 1 (17:38):
I'm like, God, I would love this. You're paid to think,
mister scientist, that's the lie. You're paid to think that
national security is our business. I was like, it's implied.
That was like, well, where he's thinking it's your thing,
we'll just act, we'll react. I thought that was great.
Are you buying any chance? A pleasure? Model? Is very
very funny. I really like the delivery everydent we lame.

Speaker 4 (18:00):
Oh, I think I didn't have one of my favorite moments,
but yeah, all those little sides. Just the first time
that when when Carton's about to reveal himself, ha ha ha,
I got you. And I know something about Eric Cartman
what very good. Yeah, pleasure model is great. And mister scientist,

(18:23):
that little impassioned plea after his you know, got a
chest full of bullets. He's sort of what a robot
had this various organs.

Speaker 1 (18:32):
It felt it felt very much like a movie in
the end, didn't it. Yeah? Yeah, I mean no.

Speaker 4 (18:37):
I just finish writing this article about Michael Bay for
for this great website Crooked Marquee and did a bit
of a Michael Bay revisit on various things. And I'm
guessing that Parker and Stone have a love hate relationship
with the work of Michael Bay. I think they really
appreciate him as a stylist, but also just he's the
kind of guy who would have you know, someone saying
mister scientists or it's a constant dick measuring contest in

(19:01):
Michael Bay movies.

Speaker 1 (19:02):
And then what's his name?

Speaker 4 (19:04):
Jason Isaacs is in aged is like supposedly the smartest
man in the world, and you know, one of.

Speaker 1 (19:08):
The military iyer.

Speaker 4 (19:10):
But we've got the head guy from so and so
on this go, well, that guy got to see average
and you know when he was my roommate at MIT,
I'm smarter.

Speaker 1 (19:16):
It's like, yeah, that's baif. Is that the one where
that the guy has the ratchety bangs on it. He goes,
this is how he fixed things in Russia room.

Speaker 4 (19:22):
Yeah, oh yeah, a bit of stormare as the Russian
guy on the on the indivitional space. We bang always
very alpha in Michael bay movies, and I get the
feeling Parker and Stone tend to take that and run
with it when they're doing things like this. But probably
my favorite bit was, and this is all through the episode.
I think people have different sort of ideas about Butters.

(19:42):
I really like him because he's such a sweetheart and
he really sells the friendship in this. You get the
feeling this kid really needs this, He really needs someone
that he can sort of.

Speaker 1 (19:53):
Share things with. And you know, this is the first
time we heard about is about his colin and his
distinctn and that was alsome the gament he made Cartman
the thing he's I honestly through continue what you're gonna
Say'm gonna study. But yeah, when the military comes and
abducts awesome, it felt very much et it felt for you.

(20:15):
It's like, nah, it's like I feel really bad for
this kid. Imagine that you know.

Speaker 4 (20:20):
I mean, whether it's your best friend or your robot pale,
or your alien friend or your dog or whatever taken
out of your life.

Speaker 3 (20:28):
Ow.

Speaker 1 (20:29):
Yeah, yeah, so he thinks the song I had a
best friend, I've got.

Speaker 4 (20:33):
The sad core version of friendly. I'm getting a little
misty over awesome, but there you go. So yeah, those
were my favorite moms tell us about.

Speaker 1 (20:45):
Particularly liked Cartman telling JT to touch his right titties. Oh, Kevin,
touch my titties.

Speaker 4 (20:56):
By the way, we do the movie guide with Mom
and Davis. And on our last episode, I introduced a
new segment called you had to be There. I don't
think particularly the.

Speaker 1 (21:07):
Brittany and Jent not not the last line of this episode,
but maybe the second last line of this You had
to be there use that word of what they do,
and they use the R word, and it's one as well.
I miss that. Yeah. I think he calls the scientists
because the scientist is like, oh, he's a ropot, thinks
he's real. He's like, I am real. You aurs. Oh.
I'm like, oh, it's that wed again. So you had

Speaker 1 (22:26):
You've got to earn her, You've got to earn her.

Speaker 4 (22:33):
I just I love to imagine Trey Parker, like in
college or even in high school, just putting on that.

That's his funny voice, that's his karaoke song. Yeah.

Speaker 4 (22:41):

crack up your mates. You sort of go looking real
good old erebody.

Speaker 1 (22:51):
That's okay. Remember there are no stupid questions, just stupid people.
All right, trivia time. My first question for you is
how many kids had Butters told before he called Dougie?
Oh gosh, as you're the something person I've spoken to?
Is it twentieth fourth? So three fourth? Okay? Yeah, I
wonder if they're the three. I wonder if you told
Kenny's standing Kyle, and that's how they knew.

Speaker 4 (23:12):
Ah, and then they probably did a little bit of
telephone rad ruins Young Garmin's after some shit?

Speaker 1 (23:19):
What is the movie that? But does an awtome I
go to see together? Oh that's my next creation, The
Prince and Me. It's The Prince of Me, which I
think is an actual movie. I was doing to google
that and I didn't. I think the Prince of Egypt.
The Prince and Me.

Speaker 4 (23:30):
I think it stares Julius Stiles of ten Things I
Hate about You.

Speaker 1 (23:33):
It does, indeed, and Luke Madley as Eddie Ben Miller,
James Fox and Yarni King The Prince and Me. Here's
a description college student page. Morgan finds herself falling for Eddie,
an annoying classmate. However, everything changes when she finds out
he is of royal lineage.

Speaker 4 (23:52):
I think there was another movie like that at around
the same time. I'm trying to remember what it was.
It was not really stuff, not really. So this styles
to me feels like just too tough for that kind
of role.

Speaker 1 (24:04):
That's right.

Speaker 4 (24:05):
She does feel a bit sort of Well, I'm going
to graduate you before I go for some soppy prints.

Speaker 1 (24:12):
Yeah, well that's all I have. I'm gonna find one
more for you quickly here.

Speaker 4 (24:16):
How about Yeah, we do a little jeopardy thing where
I give you the answer and you give me the question.

Speaker 1 (24:22):
Okay, well I've got that work question for you as well.
Go for it. Okay, give me a question, all right? Then,
So what tour do they take and where do they
take it? Butters and Awesome, they're taking a tour, well
they're on it's at the Galaxy Studios, Universal Studios. Yeah,
and it's at so Paramount Studios, Catamount Studio. Oh yeah.
I just like that. They're taking the Jaws right, which

(24:43):
is no longer there. They got they literally got rid
of the Jaws right at Universal Studios and everyone's like,
what are you doing?

Speaker 4 (24:49):
That's that's the key feature, you know, even if it
looks a bit sort of old hat now it's like, no,
this is when you think Universal Studios. You think of
you know, you're on the little tour bus and rare
Bruce the Shark come.

Speaker 1 (25:00):
So Jaws ride. When did it close? It's still in Japan.
It's still there. In twenty twelve they close it down. Yeah.
I think that's to make way for the Harry potter
Land or something, because he's made in Japan. The attraction
officially closed on January second, twenty twelve, at nine pm,
with Michael skip skip By giving the final voyage to
the last forty eight guests. By the next morning, the
entire amity area was walled off and completely demolished in
the following months. So sad. You know what fifty like,

(25:24):
it's the fiftieth anniversary. Now do you know how much
bank that would have been making right now? Ye, holding smokes.
A bunch of boomers gen X Golden millennials show. They're like,
is it the Shark? Yeah, it's used to be my playground,
and they try to get it at the et right
because that's the only thing from the original Universal that's
still there. And there was just huge uproar, and I'm like, okay,

(25:48):
then we won't get for I had to say, don't
give it to the et ride. Stop raising history. It's
the et Ride. Stop knocking it down to put another
freaking three D What are they called the virtual reality
rides and stuff? All these boring all the rides now
aren't roller coasters. They are you sit in the seat
and you put glasses on and you're watching a movie.
And I'm like, that's not a ride. That is not

(26:08):
a ride. Everything puc should have one of those. Everything else,
get on something and go for a ride.

Speaker 4 (26:14):
This may be anathema to the modern generation, but you
know what's better than virtual reality?

Speaker 1 (26:19):
Reality? But yeah, so the Jaws ride was a little
bit of a shadout here. I appreciated it.

Speaker 4 (26:27):
I knew you would. Yeah, I've got a few more questions.
How about I ask you one? Yes it what brand
of toothpaste does Cartman eat at Aunt Nelly's.

Speaker 1 (26:35):
It's a je Jeopardy one. Oh you're gonna get there, Okay,
what brand of was it? What brand of toothpaste does
Cartman eat at Aunt Nellie's? What does you eat? I'm
not too sure. What was it? That's a true question.
It just says toothpaste. Oh okay, then the question is
that a question? Okay?

Speaker 4 (26:51):
Then all right, jeopardy question, dude. The answer is Adam
Sandler is on a tropic island and he falls in
love with a coconut or something.

Speaker 1 (27:06):
That's just what I did. He pitched what number idea
is it? Do you think? Oh? What number idea? It
was two thousand something? Wasn't it close? You're there? Hundred?
What was it? Two thousand, three hundred and five, one
hundred and five? I do know that he pitched a
thousand movies and eight hundred them started Adam Sandler? Was
it Adam Sandler? Burnout at this point in time? Because

(27:28):
this aired in two thousand and four.

Speaker 4 (27:31):
Yeah, I looked up our man's IMDb.

Speaker 1 (27:36):
This is about the Zohann era, wasn't it? And stuff?
And Jack and Geo and everyone was like, dude.

Speaker 4 (27:40):
Just no, no, this is sort of predates that. Okay,
they're starting to get into sorry because you have mister
D's in two thousand and three or twousand and two. Okay,
well let's go from ninety nine. Yeah, big Daddy, Yeah,
Big Daddy. Two thousand Little Nikky.

Speaker 1 (27:54):
That was when it first started going, Oh, I'm not
really sure about this.

Speaker 4 (27:57):
Yeah, makes it come back with mister Deeds, which I
think did quite well. That's in two thousand and one.
He's also got some one wow, Okay, yeah, no, sorry
my mistakes two or three?

Speaker 1 (28:08):
One? Yeah, no. Nothing.

Speaker 4 (28:09):
In two thousand and one, he's got supporting roles or
he's working behind the scenes on Joe Dirt for David
Spay and the Animal for Rabshna who is the andal.

Speaker 1 (28:19):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (28:19):
Two thousand and two you've got Punch Drunk Club, which
sort of establishes his serious, serious Bona Fardie is working
with my man pt Anderson. Also there's Misdeeds. It's just
think did quite well. He's also got something to do
with Dana Carve's the Master of Disguise. Oh but if
you look at all those and then what else is there?
In two thousand and three, you've got anger management and
when is click Click was two thousand and eight, I

(28:41):
reckon Click was two thousand and six. Ok So you've
got a lot of very high concept things in there.
Whether it's like what if we teamed Adam sand with
Jack Nicholson and Jack Nicholson is his anger management cancelor or.
It does sound very much like the executives who are like,
oh he's a billionaire, Oh Punch are a billionaire or
Poppy Love Yeah, popular, but yeah, Adam Sandler inherits a

(29:04):
lot of money, mister deeds. Adam Sandler is the son
of Satan, little Nikki. Even if you liked and respected
Adam Sandler, it's still be going. These do feel like
Adam Sandler is a.

Speaker 1 (29:16):
Cold you can't afford Sandy, you get Schneiner.

Speaker 4 (29:18):
Yes, very much the case. So yeah, I mean that's
it's a fairly It's not especially brutal. I don't think
they're taking an Sandler so much as they're taking down
studios who are like, yeah, well we need we need
a sure thing Sandler.

Speaker 1 (29:31):
I never felt like they were mocking Sander because they
wanted to mock Salmery would have had Sandler in this
and mocked him.

Speaker 4 (29:36):
Yeah, they would have actually done the like the Schneider
mock trailers. Yeah, and say you Sandy is because yeah,
because that kind of aids indicates you guys just.

Speaker 1 (29:45):
Want to slop. Yeah, And I'm saying's gonna make slop
for you? How can you dislike Samdla and I don't.
I feel like South Park, Save Tray and Mate are
saving enough to go. Everyone loves Samler and that just
it's not just like the casual like everyone loves Sandler
because he's just a good dude when not going to
take the mickey out of sand Like he's one. He's
like one of the like very few people that you
just don't touch. I think, who's going to take the

(30:07):
mickey and take the piss out of sandl Like, just
you're destined for failure? Are you're going to do that? Yeah?
Because yeah, you're right.

Speaker 4 (30:14):
He just seems like a solid dude who does goodbye
his mates as well. Yeah, so no, it would be
foolish on their path to do something like that. So yeah,
they're taking the piss out of unimagining.

Speaker 1 (30:25):
The creativity of the executives. Yeah.

Speaker 4 (30:27):
In Curious, Yeah, Studio execus were just like, I don't
want to roll the dice too much.

Speaker 1 (30:33):
Little did they realize one if they they wouldn't ever,
I don't think at the time. There's two thousand and
four that you know, twenty one years later, it's literally
Ai is now becoming a thing like AI is now
creating content, oh very much so yeah, And it's the
AI is replacing human creativity. It's really sad. It's really sad.

Speaker 4 (30:52):
And I think everybody feels it and they're not quite
sure how to express it just yet.

Speaker 1 (30:57):
I've had so many people come to me and say,
why don't you just useing AI program to make clips
for your podcast? And I go because I can tell
when I'm watching a clip of a podcast when they've
just run it through a generator and it's just throwing
the same basic subtitles out, the way it's clipped together,
the way it zooms in zooms out, it just feels
the same, and it feels lazy to me. I want
people to look at our clips and go, ah, this

(31:19):
feels like it's been made by somebody as opposed to
just run through a generator, because I just I know
AI has its purposes right, but for me personally, as
someone who's creative and artists isn't the right word, but
someone who loves to create this content for the viewers
and for the listeners, I want to know that a
human did it and I didn't just run it through

(31:39):
a machine. Oh yeah, you can tell when it's handmade. Yeah.

Speaker 4 (31:42):
Yeah, so no, there is this gradual upsurge of something's
not right.

Speaker 1 (31:48):
Yeah, whenever I watched, because I did it once. I've
run it through the generator just to see what would
come out. I'm going, it's probably found the right clips,
but it doesn't look and feel like it's been spliced
together correctly. Yeah. We used to be very.

Speaker 4 (32:00):
Very aware of the uncanny Valley, as it's called. It's
like I can tell you're trying to be human, but yeah,
you're not.

Speaker 1 (32:07):
You're not there yet.

Speaker 4 (32:08):
We're getting closer to that, but we can still tell,
maybe not up here, but certainly in here in your heart,
you can feel it and you're not happy about it.
So whether or not there's going to be backlash against that,
or we all just surrender and turn into those big
fat people from Wally.

Speaker 1 (32:25):
Oh, that's where we're going, don't imagine.

Speaker 4 (32:28):
So, yes, but you know dan On here, you're gonna
well Dano especially, but we'll be here fighting the good fight.

Speaker 1 (32:33):
We will, especially for these people. Cheesypoofs, cheesepoofs. I love cheesypoofs.

(33:47):
day of this episode, mister Davis was April fourteenth, two
thousand and four. We do the box officers. That's the
thing I do these days, isn't it It is? What
did I say? April fourteenth, two thousand and four? That
sounds about right?

Speaker 4 (33:56):
What do you reckon? Was number one at the USBO? Man,
that's only one years ago. Barely remember what happened yesterday.

Speaker 1 (34:03):
Two thousand and four? All right? Can we just get
EO to tell us number one is once again the
passion of Christ. It's like it's gone for number five,
back to there was five number last week and now
was number one again. Oh yeah, what happened? How did
it go down number five and back to number one? Well?

Speaker 4 (34:18):
You know who the ultimate comeback kid is, Jesus?

Speaker 1 (34:21):
Yeah, that is true. Number. I can't keep a good
man down. Last week we had hall boyt number one.
It's now number two, and last week and number four
it's now number three. It's Home on the Range the
cgi film or was it animated? Was it the last
hand drawn animated film or something along those lines. I
thought that was Princess and the Frog was the last
Disney one. Home of the Range is not Home in
the Range? Was something the last? Something? Right Home on

(34:44):
the Range was the last? And We'll see it comes up?
Was the last traditionally animated Disney film released in theaters
until the Princess in the Fold two thousand and nine.
Oh okay, there was something. Yeah, so not the last,
the last one until they maybe they did the last,
like we're getting rid of it, We're getting rid of
hand drawn, and they're like, better make one more. We
can't make one more. We can't go Home in the right,

(35:05):
we can't go out on Home in the Race. Would
you what's it about? I mean, I'm guess it's about
farmyard animals. Well says yeah. But first of all, whilst
it was not the last traditionally animated Disney film overall,
Winnie the Pooh was. Later it marked the end of
an era for theatrical releases. Last one released in theaters,
the film was released in two thousand and four as
the forty fifth film, So Home in the Range. I'll

(35:26):
tell you what it was about. I put it on
for the kids once and they got about twenty minutes
and they're like, in this, ain't it? Chief Nah? So
three determined cows decide to save their farm from a
greedy outlaw after he plans to conquer it. Guest stars,
not guest stars, but stars Judy Dench, Jennifer Tilley, Stale, Harris,
Randy Quaid, Charlie Dell step As, Shemi, Patrick Warburton, Joe

(35:50):
Fla Fla Larady. Yeah, good cast. No like young stars
though they're all older. All the cows must have been
older people, older voices. I measure the kids at home.
Can we go see that new animated movie here? Dame
Judy de Sell, Harris, George's Mum's got Shemi. The guy

(36:13):
the lipstick he was always to me is the guy
who lipstick when I was a kid. And the scary
guy in conn Air. Oh yeah, Garlon Green, Yeah, that's
seen when he's with the kid with a girl. You
were old enough because I was only a kid, right,
I don't really remember it too much, but when you
have to understand what he was known for and in
the film, and he's there with the little girl. We
sitting there going, oh no, were you worried or were

(36:35):
like this kind of film isn't going to go that far.
I was over minded.

Speaker 4 (36:39):
I don't think they're going to go for it. But
I appreciate them trying to get us on the hook that.

Speaker 1 (36:43):
Yeah, because you look at it, you're like, oh shit,
I just no one's coming. Yeah. It had a nicely
black sense of hum conn Air. So what what that
moment does is it gives it somehow gives this horrific
figure heart. Oh yeah, he's like, oh he's just being
not this girl. There is a human in there somewhere. Yeah,
we should review Conair for the movie.

Speaker 4 (37:05):
Guy, maybe we should. Yeah, Okay, let's talk to our
palel LeMond Malton tomorrow.

Speaker 1 (37:09):
Hell, Leonard Malton, we should get him on to review
his episode. Right, we need to do like a full
length review of it. We need to get that because
they talked about it once on another podcast where he
was like, I didn't know about it. I didn't really
appreciate the time, but you can't stop them from doing it. Indeed.

Speaker 4 (37:25):
Okay, well let's yeah that Malton. Let's run it past
our man and see what he has to say.

Speaker 1 (37:30):
See what he has to say, and also check out
the movie Guy podcast with Malton and Davis about now
wherever you find your podcasts podcast everywhere you know where
to find him? Yes, so as I said, originally ed
April fourteenth, two thousand and four.

Speaker 4 (37:41):
So wait a minute, Passion the Christ home on the range?
Was there another one? How Boys number two?

Speaker 1 (37:44):
Oh? He said, hell Boy? How Boys number two?

Speaker 4 (37:46):
Funny that hell Boy went up against Passion the Christ
and the battle from the top spot and I guess
you won.

Speaker 1 (37:52):
Aman JC Written and directed by Trey Parker, Friend of
the Pot. Episode kicks off with Butters just having some food.
I don't really know what he's eating, but the cereal
probably the doorbell rings and there's a huge package from Japan.
There was one, a huge package. Yeah. I love that
he's written you are and it just says from Japan.

(38:13):
But that's just the added touch of authenticity of cartmen. Yeah, yeah,
well of course it's come from Japan. You know, they
didn't write her low, They write alone in their language.
And he says, well, can't be your birthday present because
that's still till September eleventh. I thought that's an interesting
joke to make. Yeah, I was a little well, let's
just roll with it. Yeah. He eventually opens it with

(38:34):
the crowbar and out walks awesome. O. He robots sent
from Japan to be his personal robot. You're my robot.
I will be your new best friend. And but is
it's just over the moon with this, as you would be? Well,
he well, first of all, it's so innocent and gullible.
He would believe this, and so.

Speaker 4 (38:48):
Clearly longing for a friend that he like, Who gave
me this? Who sent this to me?

Speaker 1 (38:52):
Why me?

Speaker 4 (38:53):
Why have I got this? No, just buys in instantly.
It's it's kind of beautiful in a way.

Speaker 1 (38:57):
But does the character would say he's Ralph Wigham? I
wouldn't say he's a Millhouse is somewhere in between where
he's not on the dumb down level of Ralph. But
he's also not cool enough because Millhouse isn't cool. But
I feel Millhouse is cooler than Butters, and Milhouse isn't
quite as gullible. Millhouse will go along with something because
he's more of a I guess, more pathetic. He's not

(39:20):
necessarily gullible millhouse. But as you just can't help but
do just want to hold his hand? Right?

Speaker 4 (39:25):
Oh yeah, it is so innocent. It's odd saying this
about electual child, but he's his childlike. I mean, he's
got when you say someone is like, oh yeah.

Speaker 1 (39:35):
They're childlike.

Speaker 4 (39:36):
These are the kinds of qualities that you usually say
when you're saying that in a positive way. It's like
open hearted, imaginative and all that kind of stuff. Yeah,
I mean, oh, I love the little guy.

Speaker 1 (39:45):
Well, I guess it's because in the south Park universe,
he's the one that feels like, I wouldn't say a
normal kid. Normal is not the right word, but he
feels like a down to earth average child. He's not
doing crazy stuff like Cartman and stand and Kyle feel
a bit beyond the years. Kenny's a real misfit, you know,
He's he's seen some shit, you know what I mean,
He's been through hell. So Butters just feels like what

(40:06):
happened if you've got a kid from the real Word
and just plunked him into South Park.

Speaker 4 (40:10):
Who occasionally, as you know we had on the On
the Raisins episode, will surprise you with his inside and
the human nature.

Speaker 1 (40:17):
Yeah. Still one of the most powerful moments in history
of South Park, that one. Love it. Yeah. So yeah.
So basically he's been bragging to his friends called Dougie said, oh,
I can't believe it. They all can't believe it. Cartman
is just laughing inside. He's like, I've got this kid,
I've got him, and also says, butters, you should tell
me all your secrets because I won't tell anybody. And
he's got a heshi headed colon, which is apparently not

(40:38):
a real thing. That's not okay. I was going to
google I think, well.

Speaker 4 (40:41):
Know, if you do google it, everything that comes up
it just pictures a butter's okay. There's no sort of
medical journals talking about it hesiated colon or anything like that.
It's just like, no, this is a medical condition that
Parker and Stone made up.

Speaker 2 (40:53):
I'm so glad you came into made Barshamon. You're the
best friend I they could have. Yes, you can trust
in fact YouTube asthma are your most personal secrets. Isthma
will not make fun of you or tell your secrets
to other people. Instead, Hey, yeah, well I can tell
you anything. Huh See. Well, for one, I've always called
a hegiated colin, which means I sometimes can't control my

(41:15):
spiner kiv. Nobody knows it, but sometimes I put my
page so I have to wear that for it's school
you okay, Osmo, Yes, asthma is fan please go, and well,
I have to take medicine for it every day. It's
a little surprisitory. I have to put it my rectum.
Said that, that's very interesting. Tell asthma more secrets.

Speaker 1 (41:37):
And hearing better said the words figure is just so adorable.
My finger can't control my face. Well, it's also very
you feel sad about it because he's being so open here.

Speaker 4 (41:47):
Oh goodness. Yeah, yeah, this is something that's been clearly
wanting to share with something. When you have embarrassing secrets
like this, and the longer they stay inside you, the
more they sort of fist, they'll you know, it's like
an infected wound.

Speaker 1 (41:58):
This is I've mentioned this on the podcast before. My
two best mates when I was a kid Media Jones,
You're right. I remember the first time I told them
that I was a bedwinter because I went to bed
till I was about ten or eleven years old, and
that was a big that's wide and go to school camps,
wouldn't sit for friends of houses, but if I slept
at their houses, I would have the little like a
little match, you'd haven't the sheet, blah blah blah, and
their parents knew kind of thing. But knowing that there's

(42:19):
some people that I've got friends out there that know
and they're not telling anybody, it was very special. So
when I was watching Butter's Come Clean Here, I'm like, yes,
it's just funny saying the words feature is meant to
be a joke. But there are kids out there that
have things wrong with them and they just need that
one friend that they can tell. So I feel like, oh,
it's not just my personal secret. I'm not weird.

Speaker 4 (42:36):
Oh yeah, absolutely, Now it's funny. This sort of ties
into this. Yeah, you're finding in the modern age that
a lot of people are confiding.

Speaker 1 (42:46):
In chat GPT or in chatbots.

Speaker 4 (42:48):
Really yeah, they will sort of say I feel really
lonely or I feel really inadequate, and yeah. One of
the positive things, but also maybe one of the negative
things about AI is that it will tend to have
a bit of an atta boy.

Speaker 1 (43:02):
It's always the same thing.

Speaker 4 (43:03):
It's always kind of like no, no, you're doing great
or yeah, everyone feels this way unless it's grockless like
not whim. But you know some people do need that
is a bit of a quick fix. It's like, oh okay,
I'm not alone and feeling this way or but it
can be so easy to get reliant on that, and

(43:25):
it's no replacement for as we said, reality, Sometimes you
need to get somebody asked to do so. Oh yeah,
sometimes you need someone.

Speaker 1 (43:32):
You're not as special as you think. You know, you're
never gonna be as special as you want to be.
Just deal with this, yeah, and deal with the cards
you've got. You're sucking up a little. You might want
to shag, you might want to adjust your course a
little bit. This is partially a you problem.

Speaker 4 (43:45):
Oh yeah, absolutely so yeah, I mean it'd be great.
I imagine you could probably program your AI, or you
could ask it to say, look, be one hundred percent
honest with me, using your capabilities and using what you
know about me, What am I doing wrong? How can
I fix it? But you know some people are gonna
want the quick fix. They're gonna want that unjagged little
pill that goes you're doing all right? Just yeah, don't

(44:08):
be so hard on yourself and sometimes that's sometimes that's helpful. Absolutely,
But yeah, I find it really interesting that that's the
thing that exists and it sort of ties into this
as well or to this episode.

Speaker 1 (44:18):
Yeah, and that AI is basically awesome essentially. Yeah, we
all would love to have this, especially twenty years ago,
this little CampaignOn that would just and here's the thing,
got it in your pocket? Yeah, I don't think this
episode gets itenough credit, right, Oh no, no, no no.
But the more you talk about the more you dive
into it, you're like, this is actually like so relevant
in twenty twenty five.

Speaker 4 (44:36):
Oh yeah, there were so many They weren't everywhere, but
there were a lot of sort of prescient things about that.
I mean, you've seen the movie Demolition Man. Yeah, yeah,
of course with Salone and Snipes and the moment. Yeah,
but there's just a little scene in that where you've
got some guy who goes up to they don't really
have phone boots anymore, but he goes up to like

(44:57):
a booth on the street and he's saying, oh, I
just feel really down about myself. There's nothing special about me,
and the computer in the booth says you're a special
person who inspires feelings of joy and everyone around you,
it's just giving him a little ego boost.

Speaker 1 (45:10):
You know.

Speaker 4 (45:10):
It's like we're all doing that now, or maybe not
all of us, but certainly a fair fiel of us
are doing that. You know. I had to trot out
the old lines like we're more connected than whatever, but
we're more disconnected than ever.

Speaker 1 (45:24):
I heard someone actually say that on a podcast. Yeah,
I'm in seriousness. Hudos to you, buddy coming up with
that original thought.

Speaker 4 (45:32):
Ah, that's main sorration, isn't that, Because Yeah, cliches become cliches.

Speaker 1 (45:37):
Guys, they're true right, which isn't itself a cliche? But anyway,

Speaker 4 (46:18):
And Stone sort of turned it on themselves, like, not,
they're not gonna sell out completely.

Speaker 1 (46:23):
It's like, if we were to sell out, this is
what we do do the card Man. But he tells
him that he pips his pants sometimes, and he mentions
that he has to take his medicine a little suppository
that goes in his reculum, and mentions how his parents
don't know that there is this boy's school named Cartman
who picks on him here and Cartman he's just loving it.
He's like, ah, this is great. This kid has no

(46:45):
idea that I've tricked him again. He's such an idiot.
But all backfires at the moment, doesn't it. I just
love that line.

Speaker 4 (46:50):
That was a that's very interesting, awesomer more secrets. By
the way, this is something interesting.

Speaker 1 (46:57):
I don't know. We've already sort of gone past the bit.

Speaker 4 (47:00):
But Butters talks about how I guess he was tricked
by Butters or something else by Cartman, tricked by Cartman.
Sorry do I say Butters are tricked by Butters. Yeah, gosh,
Frodi and slipperabs. Yeah, Butters was tricked by Cartman, particularly
when Cartman got on the phone and pretend to be.

Speaker 1 (47:17):
Butters called his dad a pussy. Yeah, and he's like,
beat me, my dad, beat me.

Speaker 4 (47:21):
You're like a little later down the line, Cartman has
awesome O misbehaves of disobeys or something, but it's give him,
gives him a slap. It's like, oh, the cycle of
violence continued. Maybe I did this because I love you. Yes, indeed,
maybe I'm digging a little too deep here, but I
don't know. Man, interesting, but Butters he there's some issues

(47:42):
in that household. Oh god, yeah, yeah, And I mean
you see it, you know, sort of rise to the
surface a little later on. You know, in certain episodes,
the episode's called Butter's Bottom Bitch where it becomes a pimp.

Speaker 1 (47:53):
Yes, you love that, don't you know? I just love
that one. We've gotta so much fun to talking. Yeah,
but I just found that very interesting that. You know,
first of all, I just wrote down, Oh, wow, Cartman's
dad beat I mean, sorry, I'm missing up these two,
but yeah, because they become so close. Wow, Butter's dad
beaten nully because we didn't see that. I think that's
a little little extra. Actually, did we hear and get beaten?

(48:19):
I think we did hear and get beaten. It just
seems like an dysfunctional household. Yeah, well his dad when
were just sneaking out to go to the gay clubs
and of course, yeah, and his mum's just she tried
to kill herself, remember and the butters in the car
she was going to Oh god, oh God of memory. No,
she didn't try to kill herself. Didn't she just try
to kill butters? Did you should to put butters in

(48:40):
the car and then drive off the clicks So yes,
into the river? Yeah, lake or something that was dark? Oh,
storyline seems relatively calm and peaceful in comparison. Yes, but
he basically here is where he mentions that one day
he's gonna get back at Cartman because little is he
know he's got footage of him. Well, he knows something

(49:01):
about him, He knows a secret about him. And there's
a little bit here right when he says he knows
his secrets. Alsome's head tilts slightly right. You can't see
Cartman's face, but just the way it's animated, you know
exactly what expression is like Carton's face. He was like
what and Butters mentions the Britney Spears footage with the
JT cutout, and he says, if Cartman never messes again

(49:22):
with him, he's gonna show the footage to everybody, and awesome, O,
sure a refectorrom was Cartman was awesome. O. It's like
awesome O Owsome says, whereas the footage so I can
back it up, But it's like, no, I don't need
to back it up. I'm not gonna lie. When I
was watching this episode at that moment, I thought that
Butter's had clued in here and knew it and he
made this or he knew about it, but he made

(49:43):
up the footage aspect of it, and for the entire
episode he was just taking the mickey. And I thought
that the rud pull at the end was going to
be that got you. Yeah, But it wasn't it. I
think I'm a run counter to just the character innocence
of Butters. As you said, Yeah, that's more of an
evil mastermind Cartman deal, isn't it? It is? Yeah? But

(50:05):
then we get the montage here with to the tune
of Harry Nielsen's Girlfriend. Right, I want to just throw
some love out to Harry Nielsen, Right, what a fucking songwriter.
Oh god, yeah, holy shit, something is without You. So
that's for those of you, I hope don't know what
it is. Just usually would google Harry Nielsen's like without You, Coconut,
you put the lamb in the coca nut. You made

(50:27):
that song? Oh yeah. He did the cover of Everybody
Talk and Yeah, what a song one, which is covered
by John Farnham as well. He was the Beatles' favorite
American artist. Is just an absolute legend. But this song here,
I'm watching this this montage and I'm going, this just
feels like a nineteen seventy sitcom, right, Oh yeah, it's
because it was what literally was. So this was the theme.

(50:48):
So the song girlfriend was turned into best friend and
used for the courtship of Eddie's father. People have about
my best friend and you're watching like this, this just
feels like a sitcom intro the way it was animated,
the way it looked, and that's literally the intro is
just the guy and he signed just hanging at being
best friends, and I was like, I love this I
wish there was more of this on television now. I
wish there was a show out there which was just

(51:09):
wholesome and didn't give a fuck what people thought. It
was just wholesome for the sake of wholesome, because I
feel like the world needs something like that now. It
really does do. I feel like people will embrace it.
They will embrace the fact that, you know what, this show,
as goofy and as lame as it is, it's just
it's just nice. They probably exist.

Speaker 4 (51:26):
They're probably are, you know, somewhere on commercial TV or
free to wear TV.

Speaker 1 (51:31):
Yeah. As I've said before, you know, just somebody can
wack on with the kids and just just know that
you're going to be safe for the next twenty two
minutes and just have an enjoyable message, almost like a
full house aspect. You know, that show probably exists. It's bluey.

Speaker 4 (51:45):
Yeah, there's a reason The Blue is becoming successful. It
has not just with kids, but with you know, your
parents as well. Were saying I can relate to Yeah, Oh,
occasually sit in and watch a bit of Blue because
how long is each episode? About six minutes or so
seven or some many. He designed for short attention spans
if century.

Speaker 1 (52:00):
But also Blue is the Simpsons of today.

Speaker 4 (52:03):
But also that, Yeah, that wholesome, pure content that I
think people are really longing for. I think there's a
reason that it is successful as it is because of
that one last thing about Harry Nilssen. Though one song
you didn't mention. Hopefully listeners and viewers out there you
are familiar with the Martin Scorsese movie Goodfellas. It's a
scene near the end where Rayliotta is coked out of

(52:24):
his mind, completely paranoid, going throughout his day trying to
sell silences and guns while he's got the past of
sauce cooking convinced as a police helicopter following him. It's
got a fantastic song that just ramps up the paranoia,
Harry Nilsen's jump into the fire.

Speaker 1 (52:38):
Brilliant song. Nilsen, What Lord, I had no idea he'd
written all these songs. I did. I'm like, wait, this
song and this one and this one. Didn't know about
this one. I didn't know about one.

Speaker 4 (52:48):
I knew about everybody's talking, and I knew particularly about
without you, without you, Yeah, in any state of emotion, frigid.

Speaker 1 (53:00):
Yeah, do not no, and it was always like love,
don't put that on, don't do it? Yeah, but yeah
without you, but such different Lime of the Coconut and
without you, two completely different songs. Yeah, Nilsen, good guy. Yeah,
but this tell you about my real bad friend. And

(53:22):
again this doesn't feel like a piss take. This feels
like in a Marge. He feels like tray mat and
acknowledging this guy was a genius and we are paying
tribute to it. Oh yeah, absolutely.

Speaker 4 (53:30):
I think for mine it walks out very very fine
line where it was like this could be terribly terribly schmaltzy,
but also in a fun.

Speaker 1 (53:38):
Way, awfully catchy. Yeah, sometimes you need all smaltz in
your life.

Speaker 4 (53:41):
And I think the respect that they have for the
admiration they have for it or whatever is indicated by
the fact that they reprise it three times, three times
in this episode, and in different sort of well not
in different modes, but as I said, you get the
sad core mode.

Speaker 1 (53:54):
Yeah, still works, in fact works even better. It does. Yeah,
emotional impact. But the scene that'll be watching the montage
is just everyone confused. Why is Butters hanging out with
his robot? Well, well, the boys know who it's Carton,
but we haven't seen them yet, So at this point
I'm going, do they know that? And that's cartmen? What's
to go here?

Speaker 3 (54:13):
Or not?

Speaker 4 (54:13):
Even Well, I guess that's the joke in terms of
this is plainly a boy in cardboard boxes.

Speaker 1 (54:19):
Yeah, why does he think this is a robot? It's cardboard?

Speaker 4 (54:25):
But yeah, it goes back to your Butters and needs
that connection. Yeah, he'll take it anyway you can get it.

Speaker 2 (54:30):
Oh, that's so cute.

Speaker 1 (54:31):
Did you see Butters and his friend Eric playing robot? Yes,
those boys are quite imaginative. Leave it to them to
find a fun way to do the dishes.

Speaker 2 (54:39):
That's great, Altamo, you can carry all my lord in
one trip. Butters, it's getting late. You should be getting
ready for bed. Soon came out. We'll come out in
alchamal Betan. Oh is your little robot friends staying the night?
Oh goody, he's not robot any. That's okay with your mom,
mister robot, I can image it's not having man. Yep,
you can know nothing about robot god. Artamo, you can
put my load to you.

Speaker 1 (55:01):
Oh that's just adorable. It's good to see Butters. Finally,
I have a friend that wants to stay over. Butters
is now brushing his teeth and also asked for the
video once again, but instead Butter says he needs to
have to put the medicine into his amiens and he's like,
I can't do that. Then eventually weak weak is so

(55:21):
good and then puts it in the SLA. That's it,
nice and deep, nice and deep. Yeah, doesn't sound fun,
medicine does it? The good. The best part about this
too is that Cartman has no other option, like this
is his fault and it is so deep now literally deep,
like he just has to do it. You made your
robody bed. So now Butters is teaching also some songs

(55:43):
in bed, but also says he needs to rest his cpu.
We had a really sweet moment with Butters. Then I
just reaches over and hugs him in bed, and I
was like, I feel so sorry for this kid. This clid. Clearly,
this was the point I realized, Oh no, he's just
an innocent ChIL th best friend. Now yeah. He then
wakes up and sees that the room has been turned
upside down by Awesomo, who's looking for the video. He says,

(56:06):
what do you think he's realm or whatever. He says,
he's organizing, reorganized. His mum's going to be so annoyed,
so he has to give him a spanking, just a slut,
a couple of taps on the back side. He did
it because he loves him, and they go to make breakfast,
and then meanwhile, Butters has now drawn a picture of
Awesomo and Butter's playing in a field together and he
goes to get some sunny Delight. What is sunny Delight.

(56:28):
It's a drink of some kind, obviously, but I'm guessing
it's like a fruit juice. Sunny Delight doesn't sound like
a fruit juice, doesn't it an apple juice? Sunny d
is never re heard to named sunny Delight prior to
two thousand, so it was sunny d by the time
this episode came out. Is an orange drink developed in
nineteen sixty three by Doric Foods of Mount Dora, Florida,
United States. Yeah, so it's just a Is it a juice? Yeah,

(56:51):
it looks like it's a juice, and like an orange
juice or an orange drink of some kind. Anyway, orange drink.
He says that awesome, doesn't you have a robut so
you don't need any drink. It is where I was
starting to really, Oh, Cartlon screwed because he's not eating
and he's not drinking, and the payoff in the moment
when he actually takes the hamlet off is so good,
isn't it. Yeah? But so he goes to get some
something to light and then the boys are at the door,
so he tells him to go ins to the door

(57:13):
and they ask what are you doing? And then they realize, oh,
this guy is so committed to this, we can take
advantage of this that this is where Kyle asked the
salary sticks. As you were explaining earlier, sucking my balls, Kyle,
he's making pan. He made pit. And then Butters's mum
is chatting to Leanne on the phone and she says, oh,
it's good that they're playing together because Cartlin's been having
some emotional troubles lately, and she invites Cartman to join

(57:35):
Butters in La to visit his aunt Nelly, and she says, well,
he's supposed to be granted for trying to exterminate the
Juw's a couple of weeks ago. I'm sorry, what was that?
But she agrees and lets him go and then we're
in the kitchen. Butters walks in Awesome. I was supposed
to be getting food and drinks for the guys, but
he's been looking for the tape. And then he said.
The mum comes in and says we're going to LA.
The Butters is super excited. But yeah, yeah, he realized,

(57:56):
oh shit. So they arrive in La. It's even just
the the clothing design is different. When they get to alley,
everyone's in shorts and shirt a little brighter, all homeless
people still looking it's Hollywood. But it's just even just
the the vibe of the people. They seem more up
and ready, a bit more bouncy, bounc exactly. Yeah, so

(58:19):
the flight had a three hour delay, but it doesn't matter. See.

Speaker 4 (58:21):
I love how they just add these tiny little inconveniences
just to make cartman's plight. All the words three hour delay,
it's like going to going to LA in the robots.
It is bad enough three hour delay out of Denverer,
Oh my god, yeap.

Speaker 1 (58:33):
And then having to carry all the bags in. Yeah,
and then whispers he really takes his playing very seriously.
Never took it off. They cost you off. Once we
have to command Cartman, though his commitment to the bit
also mustard dispense waste. I think it's at the end.
I'll get to all just talk about now where he farts,
it's like fu initiated. It smells too, smells smells sequens initiative.

(59:00):
He's just going for it. But we'll get to that.
So basically, yeah, he's arrived here. He's carrying all the bags.
The uncle says that he's taking it very seriously. He's
going to going to dispense some waste. Now they offers
some food and and but it's like, yeah, my rabbit
doesn't need any food. Even now he's like, really, what
what are we doing here? Cartman then goes to the bathroom,
and Trey Parker said, this is one of his favorite
bits of all time, Cartman taking off the harmon and

(59:22):
eating toothpaste. So just getting when he can. He's resorted
to eating toothpaste, and he's got.

Speaker 4 (59:27):
Something like some like green mole over his eyes or something,
just looking completely completed.

Speaker 1 (59:35):
It's great because it's his fault. Like I said, oh yeah,
he realizes it's almost like he realizes this is me,
this is my fault. I've done this to myself. I
don't think about it.

Speaker 4 (59:45):
He's pulled off so many elaborate and terrible scam and
found a way out and found a way out. Yeah,
never never had any punishment before it, So yeah, this
is like, yeah, a whole bunch of comic punishment at once.

Speaker 1 (59:57):
And it was actually genius storytelling of Trey actually retelling
and having a better say remember that time he did
this and having leans, well, he tried to exterminate the
juice to remind the viewer this kid deserves this. Oh yeah,
he is a shithead who deserves everything that has comeing
to him. The butters and knocks on the door and
says they're going sight seeing seeing cue the next robot friend. Yeah,

(01:00:21):
it was a very special episode. Yeah, yeah, that's it.
That's sort of isn't it. Yeah, it's like they're going
for going traveling the Galaxy Studios on tour of the Jaws,
right and catamout pictures and whatnot. And it feels like
you're right, it feels like a special episode. But like
the Brady Bunch go Hawaii. That's exactly the one I
was saying, That's why is it the go to the
Brady Because I used to watch a Brady Bunch. When
I was a kid, my mum loved the Brady Bunch.

(01:00:41):
As the Brady Bunch are.

Speaker 4 (01:00:42):
In Hawaii, it felt like it was a big deal
because pretty much every time he saw the Brady Bunch,
it was generally in their house, Wasn't That's true. I
can't recall many episodes where it was like his jam
at school something along those lines. It was generally school
was there sometimes sometimes yeah, But I always remember just
the Brady Bunch house in the backyard, in the backyard,
and that was it.

Speaker 1 (01:01:02):
All the kitchen, and that was.

Speaker 4 (01:01:04):
Generally where they hung out and generally where all the
stories happen. So for them to leave the house go
to a Wii and for all manner of shit to
happen in Hawaii, Like, wasn't it like a spider or something,
or they gets some cave or something and there's some
weird like tiki token or something. I think pretty sure
I know funds he had the jump in the shop,

(01:01:24):
but we're pretty sure Greg had some it is like surfing.

Speaker 1 (01:01:26):
Like a surfing accident, Yeah, like he broke his back
or something. Wow. It was like it wasn't just one episode,
It was like a four something. It was two or
three or something. So well, I think we've answered our
question as to why that's the go to episode when
you think of a very special episode. Well, there are
very special episodes that usually deal with a sensitive subject.
Another one that rings true is for me is the

(01:01:47):
Friends go to England. Oh yeah, yes, so it's like
they're normally in New York but now they're in England.

Speaker 4 (01:01:51):
Except did they I mean, of course they went to England,
but it really seemed like, oh okay, we're out front
of Bucket and Palace or whatever, just like we're on
the same old sets.

Speaker 2 (01:02:00):
No.

Speaker 1 (01:02:00):
No, they filmed it all location. They went to They
went to bucking and Palace. I'm sure they did, and
they went to they went to everywhere. Yeah, had Fergie
on there. I'm gonna have to tune Bake in for
that one. They literally, yeah, they filmed they I think
there was. There was some of it they filmed on
set in the States, but a lot of the filmed

(01:02:22):
on location in the UK because basically they were like,
we can't afford to pay everyone to come over to
We'll come to you. Yeah. OK, yeah, I think.

Speaker 4 (01:02:29):
There are you have, As I said, very special episodes
to deal with the sensitive special topics. Yeah, then you
have special events episodes like that friends when you're talking
about all episodes, Yeah, I like that.

Speaker 1 (01:02:40):
Yeah, the Brain Australia exactly. Yeah, but this does start
to feel like that. Just when they're walking around the studio.
It's almost on holiday, isn't it. Oh yeah, well they're
on holiday. I guess is where Awesome suggests maybe we
should spend some time apart, you know, we've been together
all this time, because he just needs a break, and
Butter's points out there's the restaurant where the executives hanging
out to eat and come up with some ideas for
movies and what not. And then we get the two

(01:03:01):
guys Mitch, we're smart, right, We're really smart. A little
bit later we get oh, that's right, you're the smart one.
When he talks about the sort of robot. It's something else.
But they need a feel good romp for the whole family.
A feel good romp. Whoever come up with that is
so great. I feel good romp for the whole family.
And they see everybody laughing at Awesome and they're laughing

(01:03:21):
at him because he's so stupid. I think that they're
mocking him almost, aren't they. Yeah, I was sort of on.
I'm pretty sure someone says I was on such a
stupid guess because the kids asked how much Woo would
would Chuck Chuck if Woodchuck could Chuck would Yeah, he's
like seventeen. That's such a stupid guess or something like that. Yeah.

Speaker 4 (01:03:36):
I couldn't, honestly, I honestly couldn't tell whether it's like, yeah,
is everyone just making fun of this cardboard box tending
to be a robot?

Speaker 1 (01:03:43):
Yeah? Do they think it's or do they think it's
what do you call it?

Speaker 4 (01:03:48):
Like an attraction at the at the place, like people
dressed up as Mickey Mouse or a Disney princess or
something like that.

Speaker 1 (01:03:55):
Mascot.

Speaker 4 (01:03:55):
Yeah, mascot, that's right, Yeah, thinking, Oh, this is all
just part of the fun part of the show.

Speaker 1 (01:04:00):
A bit of a tease for four Finger Discount took
the kids to Disney and nice to see all the
Disney mascots. There's some stories. What's that over there?

Speaker 2 (01:04:11):
Wow, that's a really neat little robot. You have their
little boy. What's he do?

Speaker 1 (01:04:14):
Who?

Speaker 2 (01:04:15):
If he can do anything? Watch it is?

Speaker 5 (01:04:17):
Hey?

Speaker 2 (01:04:17):
Aarsenal who's going to win the Super Bowl? Next to you?
The New Orleans Saints name mister robot. How much wood
would a wood chuck chuck? If a wood chuck could
chuck would set in?

Speaker 1 (01:04:32):
Mitch? Are you thinking what I'm thinking?

Speaker 5 (01:04:34):
Yeah, maybe that robot can be programmed to come up
with movie ideas.

Speaker 1 (01:04:40):
Exactly how could a robot come up with better ideas
than us? Yeah? As well? The writers say, yeah, but
he's this is not a robot, and the cat was like,
oh shit, it's a bipedal movement. The correct term is
computerized automatron. Yeah, you're the smart one. And they say,
given the current trend soges the movie, they could break
a hundred million dollars at the US box office. How

(01:05:01):
we get the sound of the pitches? Founder's in love
with a girl and turns out to be a governor
che or something something something poppy love. And then what's
the other one? It's the billionaire one, isn't.

Speaker 4 (01:05:12):
He It's like he inherits a billion dollars, but he
has to become like a boxer or something.

Speaker 1 (01:05:18):
What's it called strung billionaires?

hundred and thirty thousand dollars and two hundred and thirty thousand,
five hundred dollars.

Speaker 1 (01:06:10):
That's a lot of money. Yeah, So he's counting the money,
and Paul Cartman's like, this is another great example. I
love this. Cartain's like, maybe you should share it with No,
you don't need it you're a robot, Like, what are
you going to do? Buy some robot pants? Yeah? Yeah,
And then he's like, but we're giving to kids and
third world countries, and Cartent just goes. You can hear,
you can feel the pain. It's insult on top of him. Yeah,

(01:06:33):
it's which you deserve. It also both feels faint, lay down.
It cuts to the Pentagon and they've got some intelligence.
It's come across that. Also, four thousand is his name,
and he's come up with a thousand movie ideas. He's
being used by Catamount Pictures, eight hundred of them starring Sandler,
and they're all just idiots like, well, that's that's great. Wow,
how does he do with that? And they say we

(01:06:53):
need it? And the guy's like, well why doing it
to suggest anti Islamic films? No, no, no, no, no,
turn it into a weapon. That's the best one of them.
I don't see how we have a che It must
be so fun being in the South, like writers were
just coming up with stupid like that. I don't see
how you have a choice. This absolute bullheaded line. And
mister scientist, every movie that involves a has a scientist.

(01:07:16):
Oh yeah, has the voice of reason. Yeah, mister scientists.
And the guy that such never likes the scientist because
he speaking reason, oh yeah, and generally has got a
bit of a humanist feel for them as well. I
mean it's it's literally gobble of it Independence Day. Oh yeah.
Or do you know the movie star man.

Speaker 4 (01:07:33):
Yes, yeah, you've got this is basically that they've expanded
out a little bit. But yeah, you've got the hardheaded
military guys like these aliens come to Earth, we need
to catch it and dissect it. And the scientist guys
like why this is an alien being from an alien civilization?
That it's one of my favorite Imagine.

Speaker 1 (01:07:52):
What we could learn, Like, we don't want to learn, No,
we just want to kill you. We just want to
find out what makes it tick? Yeah, how can we
use it? But yes, that's good, it's mister scientist. This
is unethical. You cannot do this to this robot if
it's been designed for entertainment. Even Japan, if we like Japan,

(01:08:13):
beat the because everyone's got some in Japan. It's come
from Japan. If we let them beat them to it with.

Speaker 4 (01:08:17):
Pearl Harbor with robots is indeed, by the way, this
is a we should point out. That also is kind
of a play on or SIMO or as I m O,
which is an acronym for Advanced step in Innovative Mobility.
I think they sort of reverse engineered that acronym, but
it was developed by Honda in two thousand as a

(01:08:37):
humanoid robot. Yeah, what's the it's a little bit like
Big Hero six. Yeah, that's true. What's the one that
Musker's got?

Speaker 1 (01:08:44):
Now? Oh gosh, I don't know. Elon just comes up
with so much stuff every day. The Tesla robots what
are they called? I keep think of Boston Dynamics just
test Tesla bots, Tesla bot Okay, they're terrifying. Have you
have you did you see when they had like the
dinner party and they're just walking around and they're just
like serving drinks, answering questions with people, and you're like,

(01:09:05):
this is scary, you know, I mean driving cars for people. Yeah.
One wants to be optimistic because you know, what's the
what's the option?

Speaker 3 (01:09:14):
You know?

Speaker 4 (01:09:14):
You hear some people say this is going to usher
in a new era of prosperity and a lack of
need or want for the human race, And it's like
that'd be great. I hope I'm around long enough for
that to happen. But you know the pessimistics, I goes.

Speaker 1 (01:09:30):
I don't know. I think it's going to make a handful.

Speaker 4 (01:09:31):
Of people extremely wealthy, and the rest of it's just
going to be kind of like, please you could I
have some crims?

Speaker 1 (01:09:38):
I see your robot? Please? Yes, can I see your.

Speaker 4 (01:09:42):
Robut yeah, the one thing that I remember recently was,
you know those sort of robot dogs, then they.

Speaker 1 (01:09:49):
Don't flips in that.

Speaker 4 (01:09:51):
Yeah, someone puts a like a Toothless from How to
Train Your Dragon skin on it, so it looked like
Toothless how to Train and Dragon, which is fucking adorable.
Don't fall for this, man, we all know that the
dragon's extremely cute. That's a robot, and they're probably going

(01:10:12):
to use it for.

Speaker 1 (01:10:13):
Crowd control when you're out on the streets saying please
daddy elon a couple of crumbs. So, yeah, I don't know, man.
I just googled Tesla robot and apparently clippers going viral
of a Tesla bot serving popcorn to guests at an event.
So next time you go to the cinema, there's going

(01:10:34):
to be Tesla bots. They're just serving a popcorn for you. Well,
there are fewer and fewer people there all the time, right,
that's the one that the one that sells you the
ticket is also the one running the candy bar. Oh yeah,
they don't pay two people anymore. Yeah, one person the
Oh god, don't people they don't even care anymore? Do
I do?

Speaker 4 (01:10:53):
I do the thing where I show my agent say.
I remember usually had the cinema and there was a
thing called an usher, a person who would say, your
shit over there, share go over.

Speaker 1 (01:11:01):
There, ask you how are you going? Yeah? I hope
you enjoy the movie? Yeah? Oh my god. So we've
we've spent so much money on buying tickets to the kids,
said there here in Geelong, and every time we get there,
but we just walked straight in, like there's no idea. Yeah,
I'm like, we could have walked in. Why if we
spent eighty bucks on tickets. Yeah, we're honest people, we
would never do it. But I'm thinking the last three

(01:11:23):
or four times have been there, there's been no one
to rip my tickets. It's just walk in as we'll
rip your ticket, actually getting like a physical ticket. Then
oh yeah, scan the ticket. I should say, Yeah, what
a damn to be last saying that though last time,
if you buy tickets at the boots, I'll print them out.
It puts them out. I was like, this is nice
something I'd hold the pay for the environment. It's nice,

(01:11:43):
is it? Yeah? Yeah? Okay, that's enough of that.

Speaker 4 (01:11:47):
Okay, look it's it's related to what we're talking about
in this episode, so well I think we can run
with it.

Speaker 1 (01:11:53):
Well not in a second. If that robot is designed
for entertainment, then turning it into a weapon is unethical. Unethical.

Speaker 5 (01:11:59):
Let me explained something to you, mister scientist. We understand
that the robot is from Japan. That means that the
Japanese have more of them, and if the Japanese fabricates
one of them into a weapon before we do, Jesus,
it would be Pearl Harbor all over again, but worse
with robots.

Speaker 1 (01:12:16):
I'm sorry, I must protest.

Speaker 5 (01:12:17):
We have no data suggesting that Japanese have developed a
robot with offensive capability. You're paid to think, mister scientist.

Speaker 1 (01:12:25):
National security is our job. It's the poors each time,
mister scientist. And just an absolute disrespect from Knowledge Jet
and it says they're off to ala. He says, I
want that robot. Butters is now on the phone with
Art Nelly, just reminding the viewers that yes, he is
still saying with Aunt Nelly, but they're spending a lot
of time at the studio. And also I'm still pitching ideas.

(01:12:46):
We've got Sandley here, he's in love with the coconut,
straight on the island, in love with the coconut or something. Look,
it's not too much of a stretch. Okay.

Speaker 4 (01:12:55):
Casto was a big hit. What if people remember about Castaway? Oh,
the relationship between Tom Hanks and Wilson. How about we
put a comedic spin on that. And I'm saying, like
lost on tropical island, his only friend a coconut, but
he falls in love with the coconut, puts a.

Speaker 1 (01:13:08):
Little straw wig on it. Someone steals the coconut. Yeah,
yax ahoy, yes. But then the president asks, awesome O,
are you also a pleasure model? Are you designed to
meet the needs of human beings? Whatever Awesome Old does
not understand. Now we get a pretty dark gag here.
So cut ba gap to Butter's on the phone and

(01:13:29):
just here Lem which super weak and he's running away,
also runs off gets caught by the government. But as
he runs off though in the back of you just
see the exact with his pants down looking at the door. Yeah,
but this is where the government has captured Awesomo and
Butters has seen it and he's like, you've taken away
my friend. What are we doing? We come back and
they this here. It felt like I'm watching his going

(01:13:50):
why did you say that? And then it makes sense
a little bit later. Make sure his arms and legs
are secure, blah blah blah. They did that to make
you to explain why coming to take the head off?
That's right, Yeah, I mean at the end of the day,
cartonin could have said, take my helmet off. I'm just
a boy. Everyone's the episode though.

Speaker 4 (01:14:06):
Although they cut to that a little bit later as well,
and it's like, oh my god, it's developed consciousness.

Speaker 1 (01:14:10):
Now. I'm I'm a boy named Eric Cartman from South Boak, Colorado.
They're given him memories, given memories.

Speaker 4 (01:14:17):
Those blade around like memories talking about memories. Yes, but
double Harrison Ford impersonation.

Speaker 1 (01:14:24):
Cartman here powers himself back on and stand by and
be ready to destroy it. He has no idea what's
going on. The scientists, the scientist the entire time. It's
like he's only side. He apologize, I'm so sorry. Oh yeah,
they want me to raise your memory blah blah blah.
But Cartman says, you know, I'm alive. Oh my god.
It's the fun consciousness. I just love that the scientist
has faith in, like the transcendent power of technology.

Speaker 4 (01:14:44):
It's like, oh, we're all Humanity is what we want.
It's what we're all aiming towards. You know, we should
humans should not try to be more robotic and more
sort of analytics driven or something like that. Technology should
be more human. Yeah, maybe we'll meet in the middle.

Speaker 1 (01:14:58):
Who knows? Who knows? Indeed, but must be a malfunction
of its hexagraphical ims or the interlaced BV system speaking
a language we can understand. Mister scientist, he doesn't know
he's a robot. He thinks, he thinks he's really thinks
he's alive. And they asked him, who made you? Listen,
No one made me. I am an eight year old
boy from from Colorado. Oh my god, it's got memories too,

(01:15:20):
And they're programming memories of some eight year old boy.
But surely speaks for better movies. Doesn't it. The signers
refuses to reprogram him. I remind you of your dude
to your country, mister scientists, and they order that the
memories and the consciousness be your raised so they can
take it to Washington. Debbie, what hell? It's the dramatics
of it all.

Speaker 4 (01:15:40):
I know, the memory of rasure process seems pretty gnarly.
It's a big drill in the head.

Speaker 1 (01:15:44):
It's such a flicking switch. Oh no, a little electric
shock or some lads like, no, we're really getting in there.
This is where we get this sad version of robot friend.

Speaker 2 (01:15:57):
Hey, there did neural a bad friend? Were still laughing,
but someone took him. He works make ten Giger, Oh.

Speaker 1 (01:16:12):
My road friend, and he sees the van and it
cuts and it cuts to them about to drill into
Osimo's head. He's like Jesus Christ as I'm a boy,
my boy, and they're about to go in. But the
scientist saves it, saves the day, doesn't He walks the
guy out, and the government walking what are you doing?
If you have to you have to kill me if
you want to get through I get to him, Oh no,

(01:16:34):
I you want to kill me to get through me,
and comes about to yes, save such a sa science,
save the day. Yeah, yeah, and then unfortunately Butters comes in,
so he puts it back on and that is spells
doomed for these scientists who gets shot. And then Butter's
begs his best friend, no, please don't do this. This
is just very much every boy best friend, alien movie whatever,

(01:16:56):
and the government all start crying. You want to tell
me that this is it humanity? Does this make me human?
He's pulling out his organs and yes, and he dies.
Of course. Then the sergeant says, we're society were to
realize that artificial intelligence is intelligence all the same, and
we can learn from the robots. But then Cartman farts.
But it's true.

Speaker 4 (01:17:16):
I mean, sorry to sort of keep going over this thing,
but I mean, artificial intelligence, what is it except the
sum of everything that we put into.

Speaker 1 (01:17:26):
The world or cyber space or whatever. You know, We've
told it what to think. Yeah, so we've created something
that we're telling you what to think. And then it
starts thinking, well, don't think that much though, you think
what we tell you. But then, as I said, Cartman farts.
I just love the Oh it smells too, but it's like,

(01:17:47):
wait a minute, and he's about to take the head
off and it cuts to the Britney Spears footage of
him as Brittany s Bears dancing in the backyard and
Kevin is.

Speaker 4 (01:17:56):
One thing you can say for Cartman. He commits to
any bit that he commits to, it's being awesome, well
being Britney.

Speaker 1 (01:18:01):
He just goes all in. Yeah he does, indeed, and
everyone's just laughing at him. We get the effort, as
we said, and the companys is weak. Lame week, Yeah, lame,
it's lame. It might be lame either way. He's not impressed.
He's now after all that hard laughing stock. Yeah, after
all the hard work, it's just backfright. Yeah, and he's
the laughing stock that he wanted to make butters. Yeah.

(01:18:22):
But the question is will he learn his lesson. I'm
gonna say no, it's not going to work at all.
So that's the end of Awesome. Oh yeah, an episode
that yeah just as relevant, if not more relevant, twenty
years later, originally aired So Good, There's So At the
start of this review, I said I didn't find it
one of the best ones, But when you really review it,
it's actually pretty good. Like it's actually great a story

(01:18:44):
that shouldn't have this many levels of depth to it,
they managed to pull it off. One of my favorite
sayings that comes to entertainment, it's as dumb as you
like or as smart as you need, and this episode
is both. Yeah. Absolutely, we said that last year. Last
week on an episode what was it? It may have
been south Park? You said you said it for something?

(01:19:05):
Did I say last week? I don't go. Yeah, an
episode that I just reviewed, you said that one line.
It might have been Waverley Hill. It was one of
the episodes we did last week.

Speaker 4 (01:19:13):
Yeah, Well, a good line is worth repeating. Have you
heard on the podcast since becoming a new saying of
the week, I've been saying that since I'm saying God
every week for the rest of my whole life.

Speaker 1 (01:19:22):
Yes, but yeah. Also a fantastic episode. I hope you
guys enjoyed our review. The next episode I've gone down
to sound like we shall be reviewing the Jeffersons. Oh
what the Jeffersons is? I'm not ignoring you treat me
like I'm ignoring Jackson episode. I can't wait for this.
Oh my good, Michael Jefferson. Finally we got into the

(01:19:47):
I think that six through eight feels like it's just
been This has been the peak of south Park, hasn't it?
Are we in golden age?

Speaker 2 (01:19:53):
This?

Speaker 1 (01:19:54):
I think this is golden age because I've spoke to
a couple of friends of mine who was south Park
like diehards, and said, worry up to I said, season it.
They go, yeah, that's that's like peak, they said, six
through nine. That's that's the show at excelling, at its best. Okay,
we're gonna be talking about it listening please. Yeah. Next
week is the Jeffersons episode of South Park. Actually next week,
I do apologize wrong. Next week is the mail Bag

(01:20:17):
Slash News and you have to wait another week for
the Maker Jackson episode. But it's worth the weight.

Speaker 4 (01:20:22):
You got me all excited. That's like Michael Jackson, definitely
worth the weight. If you want to get like you
want to be starting something.

Speaker 1 (01:20:27):
Yeah, you want to get your name it out on
next week's show. You're just going to be a supporter
of ours on Patreon where you read out the name
of all of our supporters of cheeseypoofs, but actually not
cheat We do cheesepoops every week. If you're just supported,
but we're not a cheesepoof you' getting ameried at once
on that month's baum so yes.

Speaker 4 (01:20:43):
So if you needed more inspirational motivation to become to patron,
do so.

(01:21:11):
show that algorithm whose boss exactly? Indeed, and you can
be seeing a lot more clips. He have gone down
to south Back not run through an AI generator created
by yours. Truly, it takes a lot of time, but
it's worth it. I might even learn how to edit,
might underscore. Oh yeah in our challenge, Yes go. Thank
you so much for all of his support, he added,
going down to south Park, as we said, next week

(01:21:31):
