Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hey, Cartman, you really don't care that you can't go.

Speaker 2 (00:04):
I care, sure, but I hope it doesn't mean you
and me. It's Dana Kenny can't hang out anymore. That's
exactly what I wanted to hear from you all along.
I still have to take Butters, but I don't thinks
can be cool too good. Hey, for some reason, Butters
can't go to Kasmnitia. You can take his place. Three whatever,
being good kick Ah.

Speaker 3 (00:27):
Welcome to going down to South Park, the podcast where
we always have ourselves at time, and boy did Cartman
have themselves a time in this episode. We're here to
review Cassabanita. I am Dando and I am Guy. Yes Ben,
the new Casita. Oh my god, I think I just
got canceled.

Speaker 4 (00:43):
You get canceled every episode.

Speaker 3 (00:45):
I have to go through a fine tooth comb in
every episode of this show and go remove, remove, remove,
amplified remove, remove.

Speaker 4 (00:51):
Okay, so all that's gone. That's all gone. It's not
really because I don't think it's cultural appropriation so much.
It's cultural appreciation. I be a huge fan of what
our Mexican friends have brought us, especially when it comes
to culinary stuff. I'm much like Trey Parker and Matt
Stone in that regard. You know, I'm just without the
money and talent.

Speaker 3 (01:07):
Ah, man, the money that these men have where they
can pump forty million dollars into a restaurant of fuck
you money, forty million dollars and just go if.

Speaker 4 (01:14):
It works, it works, if it doesn't. Me that's true. Yeah,
it's considering that they initially thought, well, this is gonna
cost about six million dollars. Yeah, that's fine, that's and
it became a money pit.

Speaker 3 (01:23):
To the point where they made a documentary about it.
And we're going to be reviewing that documentary titled Yes
Extreaming now on Paramount Plus. We're going to be reviewing
that for our supporters on Patreons.

Speaker 4 (01:33):
If you want.

Speaker 3 (01:33):
Supporterus on Patreon, you can do that and get access
to our review of that. We haven't recorded it yet
as we record this, but we wish I'll be doing
it later this month. But yes, Casapernita an episode that
I've gone through the groups of ars for peoplee's thoughts
on the episode and whatnot. And I think it's one
of those places where casapined to The restaurant seems like
a place that you had to have been there to

(01:55):
truly appreciate it. From the outside world. You're watching this
as a South Part fan in two thousand and three,
you can actually buy into the fact that South Park
just made this up. Oh yes, so out there, so wacky.
It comes across like a place that Grandpa had an
idea once. Grandpa with some money and he just went,
fuck it, I'm going to build it.

Speaker 4 (02:12):
I had no idea Castle Bernina was an actual place.
How long until you realized it was real? Oh? I
think it took me a good few years, and just
came across it on some article online. It's like, you know,
the Causbernita is real, right, It's actually a place in Colorado.

Speaker 3 (02:28):
This is a pretty spot on depiction of the actual show.
Cliff Divers, Black Part's cave, everything, it's all there, not
just that.

Speaker 4 (02:35):
Yeah, you're right. I mean I initially, oh, okay, they've
got this nice little Mexican restaurant that they that appealed
to them when they were children. They've ramped it up
and amped it up for a comedic effect for this episode,
and then you read about it's like it's got all
this stuff they haven't though, It's just is this How
is this a thing? And it certainly was, yeah, to

(02:56):
the point where as you pointed out, yeah, it may
have been running at a loss for some time, or
may have been losing customers or whatever on the verge
of bankruptcy. And then our pals Parker and Stone swoop
and say, no, you're not throwing my childhood memories on
the scrappeep like that. Here's a bunch of money. Let's
bring Casaberanita back to life.

Speaker 3 (03:15):
And what is the a plot for this episode for you?
Because we're discussing before we hit records, so everyone remembers Cassibernita, right,
but we don't actually see Cassaberinita.

Speaker 4 (03:23):
Tool the very end.

Speaker 3 (03:24):
It's it's the driver, It's what drives you don't want
to catch you watching the episode to see just how
will Cartman get to this place to be so desires
and what is that like?

Speaker 4 (03:32):
Actually inside that's really interesting because it feels like, because
it's so heightened because of all those things we were
talking about, black Beard's cave, cliff divers et cetera, cetera cetera,
you think Cartman's well, first of all, the show's got
to be making this up but then Cartman's got to
be making this up, but you know he's taking it
to another level. You never see it except through in

(03:56):
his imagination.

Speaker 3 (03:57):
All that's what makes you think that this can't be
actually like this because it's child's mind.

Speaker 4 (04:01):
Yeah, yeah, and I think that's I think it's a
pretty savvy move on the on the show's part as well.
So when you get to their at the end, actually
it's like, oh, all this stuff that he's been dreaming
about and longing for all and the way, and you
know the reason that he's gone through all these things
in this episode, whether it's trying to change his ways
and be nice instead of really just putting on a

(04:22):
nice sweater. We'll get to that, yes, or yeah, all
everything he goes through the butters, which we'll get to
as well. Is it worth it Cartman? Is it really? Well?
Then you get to the end of like for him,
tadly worth it. Yeah.

Speaker 3 (04:34):
You don't come out of this episode, now you do,
But you don't come out of this episode going oh
and it's real, but you do come out of it
going oh shit, it actually was what he was telling. Yeah,
imagine if this place actually existed, it'd be so fun
to go to and.

Speaker 4 (04:46):
Then you find it. What Yeah, actual place.

Speaker 3 (04:48):
What a great commercial for this show our restaurant, I
should say, unbelievable.

Speaker 4 (04:54):
Well, it's something you pointed out before we started talking.
There are certain real life joints that get a real
bump out of being name checked on the show. Even
if it's not the actual place itself. It creates such
a mystique that it's like, oh, Seinfeld like this. Okay,
Oh it's mentioned, this is the place that they're talking about.

(05:14):
If I'm in New York, I'll have to check it out. Yeah,
because of the super Nazi. I mean, wasn't actually called
the soup Nazi. I don't think you actually get a
lot of business.

Speaker 3 (05:21):
Well he is the owner, Yes, that it was. I've
got it in the notes, But we will get to
that later. That want we want to discuss how the
impact of I said, it reminded me of watch an
episode of Seinfeld where they acknowledge a real life place
and then the business booms as a result. But watching
this though, you don't realize that they're actually mentioning a
real life place. Now we do, as I said, But so,

(05:43):
the brief plot of the episode is that Cartman is
angry when Kyle refuses to invite him to his birthday
party at Casabernita, a restaurant that Cartman loves, instead of
inviting Butters, and for good reason because and we'll discuss
that in a few moments, but in order to receive
an invitation, Cartman kidnaps Butters keeps him wilfully hidden in
a bum sholder. Things go awry when the town starts

(06:04):
searching for Butters, and cartmannsa try and move his victim
from location to location.

Speaker 4 (06:09):
Yeah, it's a little timmyo o'tool in some ways. Yeah,
yeah it is. That's a stretch.

Speaker 3 (06:15):
Yeah, so he's not really crying wolf, It's just it's
more of a kidnap scenario.

Speaker 4 (06:18):
Okay, so what you're saying is two completely different things. Yes,
but come on, guy, you gave it a good old
try participation award. Oh I've got so many ribbons on
my chess now.

Speaker 3 (06:32):
Yeah, but obviously go here. My first thoughts, what wasn't
exactly that made themed restaurants? What is the appeal to
them that you say you've got you say they don't
appeal to you at all? Or for me growing up
in the nineties, especially in Geelong, you'd have memories of
this place, whether they're fond or not, of the place
Morgies which was Freud listeners out there and all you
can eat restaurant on at the end of a pier.

(06:54):
Was that novelty as while you look at the window
and you were on the bay, which was cool at
the time, especially when I was a kid. Sure seeing
the boats drive pass or the dolphins would occasionally go over,
but they.

Speaker 4 (07:03):
Had occasionally a body would float by. Yeah, yeah, that
was part of the fun.

Speaker 3 (07:06):
And then they would have these two animatronics that faced
the outside window and they were always under a no. No,
King Neptune was there. He was never undercover, but they
had this this thing under like a blanket and you're like,
what is this And the show would begin and it
was Salty the Seal. Now, I may have mentioned Salted
the Seal on the podcast before, because every kid in

(07:27):
the Geelong in the nineties has fond members of Salted
the Seal and he would they would sing songs about
living under the sea, under the sea, yes, and I
remember there was one section where they referenced Gary Abblett
being God and king like no, I am God because
that was a very Gelong reference. Gary, but it was
a Gelong cat's AFL football considered. God was his nickname,
wasn't it.

Speaker 4 (07:45):
Indeed, yes, he was a very very good player, to
the point where we nicknamed him God.

Speaker 3 (07:50):
I can remember going to get to the food. I
can't remember whether the food was good, but the memory
of watching Salty the seal. It was every it's seven o'clock,
the lights were down. You're like ladies and gentlemen Salty
this year and kidnt Jude and kids would fucking race
to this thing, and you'd loved it, and it was
just I was fantastic. I believe they may have had
a bigger fish tank there as well, or something along

(08:11):
those lines of a wall fish tank, not a giant one,
but something with some fish in there. It was just
a wacky oi you can eat places. Salty this year
on King Neptune doesn't make sense to anybody besides us
living in Geelong, but I have such fun memories of it. You,
on the other hand, would have been an adult at
the time, no kids, so you didn't need to entertain
the children. Now, being a parent, I long for a

(08:33):
place where I can take the kids. They can go
and have fun, and I can sit and enjoy the food.

Speaker 4 (08:37):
Wholly understandable. Listeners to the show will realize that Dan
and I come from different generations. Yeah, you're about fifteen
years older than me. About that. Yeah, yeah, it's very
generous of you. It's closer to forty. So when Dando
was a young man, a young boy, one might say,
enjoying the adventures and all the escapades of Salted the

(08:59):
Seal and Neptune.

Speaker 3 (09:00):
Apparently Smaggies existed till twenty ten, which I cannot believe.

Speaker 4 (09:04):
I find that kind of baffling.

Speaker 3 (09:06):
I cannot believe because I did not go to Smorgies
at all a teenager. How did I not go there
when I was a teenager? How did this place exist
on the end of the peer Cunningham Pire or you
can eat place still the Salty in King Neptuned apparently
the last till twenty ten. I refuse to believe that.
I just do not believe it.

Speaker 4 (09:21):
I'm thinking for maybe the last five years of its
existence had probably had approximately twenty five people come through. Yeah,
I saying twenty ten now that just sounds unreal and unreasonable.
But gelong with wooden flags. Oh yeah, you think everyone
head out to the end to salty the smallgese charge, Oh,

(09:42):
small geese. My one prevailing memory of going to Smorgis
is during the nineties. You know, I would occasionally go out,
have won too many refreshing beverages, wake up the next
morning feeling and one of these more, because invariably I'll
go out with my friend savvy Steve, who also enjoyed

(10:03):
the nightlife, doesn't it.

Speaker 3 (10:05):
It would not surprise me if he owned the real
assault of the seal somewhere at his house. But I
do have a story about that. In just a few
moments to continue.

Speaker 4 (10:13):
One morning we decided, okay, well, yeah, I said that
the small just get a bit of a wee you
can eat, you know, get a bit of a soak
up all the poisonous in our system. And you go
out there and oh, they've got not quite chicken tender.
Oh they little like chicken filets or something, you know,
crumb chicken filled, little schnitzel, baby schnitzelby schnitz Yeah, in

(10:35):
a like in the Bain Marie or whatever. They're just tenders,
just ten. I think they're bigger, they're not tenders like
KFC where it is half tiny things that they're decent.
They're big mumma's tenders. Yeah, they are somewhere between yeah,
the chicken parmesana and a chicken tender.

Speaker 3 (10:50):
It's the kind of tender you can still get from.
I'm going to give a shout out to a local place,
the Coryo Roadhouse. I was two dollars fifty each.

Speaker 4 (10:58):
And they're a giant tender worth your money. The local newspaper,
the Geelong Advertising my former employer will regularly do these
things where it's like what's the best Yeah, what's the
best cafe? We have no news. We need to constantly
pop up Gelong's ego, so you would like Disneyland in Geelong.

(11:19):
We're building something. Yeah, someone got killed.

Speaker 3 (11:21):
A city on the grow, on the go, on the
grow on the Girls. I can't remember Springfield a city.

Speaker 4 (11:27):
On the grow.

Speaker 3 (11:28):
I think it's on the grow because it's growing. Yeah,
but either way.

Speaker 4 (11:34):
Tune in the four Thing of Discame. We do a
show on The Simpsons as well, you know we do. Yeah.
I always say city on the Grow, and I always
do it with that Phil Hartman Troy McLure voice because
it's just fun to say yeah, city on the grow.

Speaker 3 (11:46):
Every time I walked down a street in jeal On
there it's all boarded up. I think of watching the
vision of that simp. They're walking in the street Grandpa
and Jasper. It's like it's happening, and then it's just
all boarded up.

Speaker 4 (11:58):
Let's not talk about something that's going to make me
incredibly but yeah. The the Addy will occasionally do these
things about what's the best cape Angelong? Where can you
find the best burger in Geelong? I think they were
just talk hibout the best eatery And you can't get
past Roadhouse. Looking at the comments Roadhouse, Roadhouse, Roadhound. Everybody
loves the Roadhouse.

Speaker 3 (12:14):
It's the place that you just you can trust. It's
an efficient system that you go there and it's just
you take your It's almost like the soup kitchen in
without the Nazism. You get there, they take your money,
you get your food, You love it, You go back
next time.

Speaker 4 (12:29):
What more do you want for? What do you need? Yeah?
Where you exchange food for exchange money for food. You go.

Speaker 3 (12:34):
It's the kind of place where you go and you say, oh,
I forgot to order gravy. They go, don't worry about
and just put gravy on your chips. That's the kind
of place you want. That's true.

Speaker 4 (12:41):
We're seeing fewer and fewer of those places these days where, yes,
you've got some nice person behind the camera are like,
oh mate, it's gravy, gravy, what's what's gonna hurt? Yeah,
so they do. Let's rewind a little bit. Yes, but
I my friend and I Steve, went out to smoking
add on cunning and beer, and I remember just shoveling

(13:03):
down those chicken tenders. I was like, oh my god,
this is absolutely hitting the spot. We should come here
all the time. I don't think we have a went back. Yeah, now,
you clearly enjoyed it. You clearly have fond memories of it.
I have a fond memory of it. But otherwise it
was like, I'm pretty sure there was more than one
smallgi'es outlet in Geelong, though there was one out on

(13:24):
the Melbourne Road and might think of something else.

Speaker 3 (13:25):
No, there was another one in Melbourne, another small Geese right,
but it wasn't themed like Salted the Seal and the Connecttion.
It was more stone hedge kind of vibe to it,
you know, the one that's still there and it's actually great.
It's now called Feast, but it was called aces or
you can eat Smorgasboard really yeah, at the Gateway Hotel.

Speaker 4 (13:44):
Yeah. No, I'm I'm pretty sure that we had like
a small geese on the Melbourne Road around you know
where all the fast food places.

Speaker 3 (13:51):
And you're thinking that, you're thinking of the Californian. Am I, oh,
the Californian.

Speaker 4 (13:56):
Well, I clearly do, but I thought it was a
small geese.

Speaker 3 (13:58):
No, it wasn't smoking. It was a Californian and it
was across the road. It's where KFC is now in
North Gelong, across the way from Ford. Yeah, that, trust me.
Working at four they us to go. God, I remember
that was a Californian and my mom the only I
can't find any pictures of it, but my mum has
a picture of them for like my uncle Darren's birthday
or something like in the California. I'm like, this place
looks like Uncle Moe's family feedback.

Speaker 4 (14:21):
See my memories of it are as just as a
very bland, plane looking place. I don't remember any crazy
crap on the walls. I do remember, however, that before
it became a KFC. That place it was a wendy Is.
Everyone's talking about how are you kidding? Wendys Is coming
back to Australia. It's like I remember they tried, Yeah,
we had it. I can't remember the day. I don't
remember it being there. I remember it being somewhere and

(14:41):
trying it and going no, great and the thing, oh no,
I love it really And the thing of it was
it was next to cam Dawson Ford out on the
Melbourne Road where my dad used to flog cars to
the to the people, and that means sal Promote would
occasionally going like Dan, I'm going to get I'm going

(15:03):
to get a Wendy's boog. Okay, stay away, I'm trying
to sell this year card. You know, my son? Do
you call me Dad? But I go there and yeah.
One of the I guess selling points was they had
square petties, round bun square patties.

Speaker 3 (15:20):
Apparently it's better to eat a burger when it's a
square patty.

Speaker 4 (15:23):
I have no idea why that's the case, but I
do recall that you get one fresh off the ground.
Oh my god, they were so good.

Speaker 3 (15:30):
I'm actually excitedful when they eventually make their way back
down here.

Speaker 4 (15:33):
They will.

Speaker 3 (15:34):
Yeah, hopefully that's the case that they're in Sydney. I
believe it will be the Gold Coast at the moment
they will track their way down. But yeah, so with
themed restaurants. So the big one for me that I've
never got to go to his Kiper's Planet Hollywood. Yeah,
and it just seemed like that's the place where the
movie stars eat, right, that was my mentality as a kid.
If I go there, I'm going to see Arnie having
a steak. You know, that's not it at all. It
was just memorabilian what certainly not the case. I So

(15:57):
Planet Hollywood opened up in ninety one. I believe it
was Stalona Swartz, maybe Bruce Willi.

Speaker 4 (16:01):
And Bruce Willis they were the although apparently Demi Moore
had like a sizeable steak in it as well. I'm
a piece of Bruce Willis as well. That willis sable steak.
And when I say steak, I mean as in st
ake as opposed to know the delicious steak that you eat. Yeah. Yeah,
but apparently they were. Everyone thinks it's you know, sly

(16:23):
Arnold and Bruce as the you know the holy trinity
of Planet Hollywood. This demean more erasure will not stand first,
she doesn't win the Oscar and now we're trying to
rub around a planet Hollywood's history. I won't have it. Well,
you need an a lane, don't you. You certainly do.
It's like the rat Pack had. Yeah, they always had
like a lady I think was Angie Dickinson and the

(16:44):
Yeah the Currents Oceans Leave and had Julia Roberts. Yeah
you've got to have a girl on the team, yes, because.

Speaker 3 (16:49):
Yeah, bring in Nikola Nickler, all right please. But so
I never got to go to Planet Hollywood. So it
opened up in Australia in ninety six in Sydney and
ninety seven in Melbourne, and will going through an article
I found it's on real estate dot com. The grand
opening had some serious heavy hitters there.

Speaker 4 (17:05):
That's the thing. I was thinking, Oh, you know, we're
gonna get some real B listers come down to Australian Yeah,
it's a long trip. Yeah, But no, I was mistaken.

Speaker 3 (17:16):
Charlie Sheen was here. We also had Bruce Willis, the
best of Stallone was there as well. Who else did
I find? Cindy Crawford was there, Dan Damn Van Damn
as well. That's that's big names right then the Melbourne
one had Will Smith, Shaquille O'Neill. Stallone came down for
that as well.

Speaker 4 (17:36):
That's crazy. Oh yeah, now I must admit I never
set foot in Planet Hollywood.

Speaker 3 (17:41):
Yeah, that astounds me. I'm surprised you didn't just just
to see what happened.

Speaker 4 (17:44):
What was like, as you said, you're of a mind.
Oh well, if I rock into Planet Hollywood at any
given time, Hey, there's Charlie Sheen at the bar and
enjoying a cocktail. Oh there's Bruce enjoying a burger or whatever.
Is that how it was pitched? How what was it
pitched at? I think it was just pitched as like
a bunch of crazy crap on the walls. Very much. Okay,
it's all movie star memorabilia.

Speaker 3 (18:06):
I remember there being. My only memory of Planet Hollywood
is seeing an ad and it had the endoskeleton not
behind glass, and I was like, what what's the terminand
so I wanted to go. It was almost like a
museum for nerds. But you also get to eat food
there as well.

Speaker 4 (18:19):
Yeah, I think that's pretty much. It was like the
hard Rock Cafe except the movies. Yeah, when you're talking
about that kind of memorabilia, the main thing that I remember.
Forgive me if I'm misremembering this. You're you're aware of
the Selvester Slone movie Demolition Man. I'm sure you know how.

Speaker 3 (18:34):
He's the very racist which isist one. Yeah, yeah, yeh
yeah yeah yeah yeah, don't do it, I'm remember it.
Just you go on YouTube and dip Wesley Snipes racist
Demolition Man.

Speaker 4 (18:49):
And you'll get the whole movie. Yeah, Sylvester Sloan is
like frozen in like some clear substance. He's cryogenically frozen.
That's part of his punishment. And I think in one
of the planet hollywoods they've got like that actual prop,
but he's frozen naked and he's like hanging what is it,

(19:11):
some kind of tube but it was hanging on like
from the ceiling or something. So some more unfortunate who
would be sort of looking at us like I'm trying
to enjoy my nose instead I'm staring at Sylvester Stallone's taine. Yeah,
I want to stay no slasage in fair Meat Potatoes.

(19:31):
But yeah, I was always mine as like well this
is just as we're going to use this term a lot,
a bunch of crazy crap on the wall.

Speaker 3 (19:38):
So I was only I was very young when it
was first announced. I was like, I have to go there.
But I can understand being a bit older why you
wouldn't bother, but others not being a mooting there, maybe
you'd want the experience at least once.

Speaker 4 (19:50):
Because I went bankrupt pretty quick. Oh my goodness, it
was gone. That's right, And I mean, what that's four
or five five years? Yeah, I think the novelty wore
up pretty quickly. Was it just overpriced? Maybe? Perhaps some
imagine So I went to hard Rock Cafe in Hollywood.

Speaker 3 (20:05):
I remember when there have Nickeola on our honeymoon in
twenty sixteen, and honestly, it just came across like an
overpriced pub with a couple of guitars on the wall.

Speaker 4 (20:12):
Oh very much.

Speaker 3 (20:12):
So yeah, I was really sold it. I loved Cheesecake Factory.
I thought that was a very a large menu, prices
were very reasonable, and the portions were massive. I was like,
this is what I fixed, This is what I expected.
When everyone tells me how food, how great the food
is in America, how big the portions are and whatnot
cheesecake factory. No cheeseca factories. Cheese factory, yeah, yeah, factory.

(20:35):
They have desserts there.

Speaker 4 (20:36):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (20:36):
I think the cheesecake shop here in a Shaa. The
cheesecake factory was the place I went. This is what
I was expecting more of.

Speaker 4 (20:42):
I am always making this mistake because yes, we had
the cheesecake shop here and astraight and guess what it
sells cheesecake. You hear about the cheesecake Factory in the
US and apparently it's got this full menu of like entrees,
main courses and guess what desserts, including cheesecake. You hear
people telling about, Oh, I'm going to the cheesecake Factory dinner.
It's like what's wrong with your life? Yeah?

Speaker 3 (21:01):
People say, what are you doing? And it's like a Denny's.
Everyone makes fun of Denny's. I never saw a Denny's,
but I said how much a lot of the cheesecake factory,
and my American friends are going, oh cool man, Yeah,
we don't have anything like this really in Australia, where
it's not reasonably priced. And the menu was so impressive
to me that I took photos of it.

Speaker 4 (21:19):
Well, I think our version that was probably Smorgies.

Speaker 3 (21:22):
Best s Morggas was all we Can Eat Ah truest. Yeah,
that was a Smorgas board where this one was a restaurant.

Speaker 4 (21:29):
It is official.

Speaker 4 (22:25):
Yeah see, I've never really had much of appreciation for
places like this, like you're talking about in America, like
Cheesecape Factory, like Denny's, like even Bob's Big Boy.

Speaker 3 (22:34):
I think we're going out and you're looking for a place.
As I said, parent, I think parent changes everything, but
also to the nostalgia factor for these places as well,
because you never went to Did you go to any
of these places as a kid?

Speaker 4 (22:45):
Did you have anything? Like? No? I don't think we
really had them when I was growing up in the
Dark Ages, and also in Australia because the Casapernita was around.
Oh yeah, certainly, but no, I don't think we had
it in Australia. And if we did, I mean it
wasn't going to take my family situation into account. I
think my parents were kind of like, we're going to
a grown up restaurants, sit down and shut up and

(23:07):
behave not necessarily in those words, but it's like we're
not going to some restaurant with a ball pit or
an indoor slide just to make guy happy. God this
sounds terrible, doesn't it. My folks are actually really nice,
don't get me wrong, But I think they were reminders like, no,
we go and have for dinner. Guy can come with us.
You can sit there and read a book or whatever.

(23:27):
We didn't bring you because we want you here. We
bought you because we had to. We're going here for dinner.
You're just here. That's kind of the case. Honestly, I
think it's not necessarily a bad thing. I mean, sometimes
it'd be like it's nice to say, where would you
like to go?

Speaker 3 (23:42):
Oh?

Speaker 4 (23:43):
Certainly, but then may wouldonner staff get your mcdonner. And
that leads back into what I was thinking about. When
I was thinking about there's that middle ground, like you're
talking about a cheesecake factory, Denny's, et cetera. I think
I don't have much room for that middle ground. I'm like,
if I want fast food, I'll get fast food from
macas or KFC or whatever I want to fast and

(24:03):
if I want to go out, I'll go to a
quote unquote nice restaurant. Having said that, there have coursed
many times and I've gone to There was a like
a TGI th in Melbourne, wasn't there? I think there
was a Thank God. Yeah, oh yeah, that's something like that. Yeah,
the Jam Factory in New York, which wasn't bad. Sporting
Globe is kind of like a sporting versions more like
a sports bar. And if it was a Cassi Beernica style,

(24:26):
you have people kicking footballs and smacking tennis. Well, I
think we had that very shortly played, unless it's still around. Okay.
In in Geelong and the CBD, was it Dunkings or Dunklings?
Never heard of it?

Speaker 3 (24:39):
Okay, no, you recommended it to me Dunkling's Oh sorry, yeah,
nobody met that. Yeah, they sold dunks. That was like
their Yes, but you can go in. They also had
like the Basketball Place Basketball Yeah, what was that called.
I'm trying to find, but yeah, I'm pretty sure it
had dunk in the title. Okay, Geelong basketball restaurant. Hang on,

(25:01):
it was called dribbles. That's that's no wonder it's gone
on all respected dribbles. I mean I actually got some
takeaway from there. It was fast fine, yeah, yeah, but
I don't know.

Speaker 4 (25:14):
I think I'm reaching a stage of the game and
maybe you are as well, where it's like I think
I want better than fine.

Speaker 3 (25:20):
It depends on why it's just costing me. Though there
is that as well, Isn't I want fine for less money,
don't we?

Speaker 4 (25:26):
All?

Speaker 3 (25:27):
I don't want to go to a restaurant feel like
I'm paying a fine to eat my food. So the Casperanita, though. Yeah,
you look at this place and you go, as a kid,
this looks fantastic. Oh yeah, as an adult you kind
of watch this going I'm not quite sure what's happening,
but yet I want to go to experience it just once.
And I read some reviews of the of Casabanita, dating

(25:50):
back from when the episode first and to now, and
I'm gonna say there are a lot more negative than positive.
Arthur Train Matt bought it. Oh yeah, really not impressed
with the renovations. The prices apparently are through the roof service.

Speaker 4 (26:05):
Not great. I'm just reading reviews here. Sure, sure, were
you looking on Yelp? Because I looked on Yelp. I
have my miners on trip Advisor. Okay, then Yelp. The
average review was something like three point three out of five. Yeah,
that's a minus, that's a C close to that. Yeah
it looks great.

Speaker 3 (26:24):
Oh yeah, look, let's spend a lot of money on
the renovation aspect, but it just seems that the actual
quality of the food and service needs to maybe be improved.

Speaker 4 (26:30):
I'm not too sure. May I read a couple of
reviews there, yelp? These are all fairly recent as well.
These were like from not just twenty twenty five, but
even the last month month and a half. Yea quote
one problem the diver splashed us and we were not
in the splash zone. Yes, it is marked made the experience.
Made the experience unpleasant, as we will wet and cold

(26:53):
the rest of the time.

Speaker 3 (26:55):
I mean, okay, I can get that. I mean part
of me is just saying suck it up, princess. The
other part is the going if you pick a table,
it's not the splash and you get splashed. To be like,
oh with the signs like you will get wet. Ye
one other review but was waiting cold passable after a
night of drinking. So it's Morganes very much so. Yes,

(27:16):
this one here, says Casperita a nostalgic nightmare one star,
January twenty twenty five. If I could give zero stars,
I would let me point paint you a picture of
what it is now. Unfortunately, the new and improved. Casperanita
is not great. I went with a group of six,
paid forty dollars a plate for slop and was graced
with a mandatory fifteen percent it's a gratuity, yeah yeah,

(27:38):
plus an accidental ten percent tip that resulted in a
twenty five percent tip. One of the most done experiences
of my life.

Speaker 4 (27:46):
Sets. Yeah. Well, they saying, oh, the extra, the extra
ten is to pay the performers or something like that.
I read a review about that. Oh really, okay, Oh
you know if you want to give us a little
extra you know that that that the cliff over there,
you know who's putting on show for your benefit? Did
you have fuck you paramout plus money. I'm just gonna

(28:07):
read one other review quickly. This was sort of semi positive,
even though it starts with do not come here for
the food. It's not terrible, do not come here for
the service. It seemed like they didn't want to be there. However,
this was probably my top three things I've done in Denver. Ever,
so I think the feeling this is someone who either

(28:28):
had that nostalgic longing for the place or had just
watched the episode Cassiberanta a lot.

Speaker 3 (28:33):
Yeah, I think if you're a South Park fan, you're
going to overlook the negatives because it's just it's Casperita.

Speaker 4 (28:38):
Oh yeah, and you're gonna you're gonna take a selfie
out front of Cassiberanita, you know, maybe yeah, pulling that
kind of face and you know you're whack it up
on the Gram and everyone be like, oh wow, you're
going to Casabita. Fantastic. It gives you a nice story
to talk about, even if you're not necessarily going to
write home about the food or the service or anything
like that.

Speaker 3 (28:55):
Because I don't think you're going to Casaberneda for the food.
I think I think you'll go to South Park. EPI, Yeah,
you're going so you can say I went to Casa
Bonita and get a photo with a Cartman statue that's
there now very much. So, yeah, because I recall numerous
times on our honeymoon we'd go to locations in New
York for with the friend's apartment or things like that,
and we get there and I go, it's really not much,
but you know what, it's the friends apartments and Nicola

(29:17):
loved it. You know, it's just if you're a fan
of said thing, then you overlook the fact that it's
really not much to it. It's just what it means
to you.

Speaker 4 (29:23):
Oh yeah, absolutely. I mean I know the first time
that I went to New York first and only, the
first meal that I got was that Katsu's Delhi. Now
it wasn't far from where I was staying, as that
was convenient, but it was also well, this is you
know where they shot the I'll have what she's having
seen from when Harry met Sally. Also, it heard they
did a mean pastroami sandwich, and you've mentioned it many times. Yeah,

(29:44):
it was a monstrous sandwich. Funny how there's.

Speaker 3 (29:47):
Probably you probably count in your hand the best sandwiches
you've had in your life, and they stay with you.
Oh yeah, and even if you go back to the place,
I never seem to be able to replicate that first experience.
I've maybe because you weren't expecting it to be so good,
But you go, I remember when I first et that
sandwich from Deli, and it fucking changed my life.

Speaker 4 (30:04):
And also, you know, I when I was walking around
New York, I look at it was like, hey, Ghostbusters building.
Oh it's the Coda Building. That's where John Lanning got shot.
But sometimes when you just find those places supposed to
look for them, it's like, oh, is that holy shit?
Yeah yeah, I mean I've seen this in movies. Oh yeah.
But certainly the first thing I said when I booked
into my where I was staying in New York was like, okay, rookie, question,

(30:26):
how do I get to the Empire State Building? And
they sort of looked at me like we've heard this
all before, buddy, don't worry about it. But also, yeah,
there were other places that I wanted to look, like,
as I said, go to Kats's Delhi, or go to
the Dakota Building or something like that. For me, it
was Tom's Restaurant.

Speaker 3 (30:40):
Now, I know that Tom's Restaurant inside is not the interior,
it's not monks, right, it's just the exterior where it
says restaurant. But there was something about getting off the
subway and get into the corner and just seeing that
restaurant sign and going.

Speaker 4 (30:53):
That's the place. Oh, yeah, that's that's the sign feld place.
It's almost like you've stepped into the screen, isn't it's
And that's the that's the feeling trying to capture, going, oh,
I'm inside. That's it.

Speaker 3 (31:04):
Like, I've seen this so many times, but that's that's
actually it. Can you call a moment where you've seen
something on screen or on films so many times and
you saw it in person, you went, I'm actually seeing
it now, though there's a different it's a different feeling.

Speaker 4 (31:18):
That was New York for me. Yeah. Yeah, I'm not
just a deli, but even just walking around the streets,
it's like, oh, yeah, I'm pretty sure that they shot
a scene from thirty Rock here or something like that. Yeah, yeah,
the Rockefeller Place or whatever.

Speaker 3 (31:29):
Yeah, yeah, but I remember going into Tom's restaurant and
the food was good and it was kind of it
kind of looked like monks. I had a monk's vibe
to it as well. I'm not sure that they changed that,
but just yeah, seeing that Tom's Restaurants front just went.

Speaker 4 (31:44):
I still feel the feelings now I've seen that for
the first time. Yeah, it was really changed my life. Yeah,
but theme restaurants I've never really sort of had much
of an appreciation for. Yeah, yeah, I'm really there to
get a good sandwich or something good to eat, as
opposed to joining all the crazy crap on the walls.
Having said that, there was a Lebanese restaurant in Melbourne

(32:05):
and I used to really dig call kansa Man, and
it had very sort of Middle Eastern ambience. These wonderful
murals on the wall you gather on a Saturday that
have a belly dancer. I know this isn't quite exactly
what we're talking about, but anything that has that kind
of atmosphere I think is performance of some kind. Yeah, yeah, absolutely.

Speaker 3 (32:22):
I think Cassaberinita has the vibe of the animatronics. So
that's why I think the small giest for me related
more because it had the salt of the seal. And
sure some of our patrons have mentioned Chuck E Cheese
and that kind of thing where, yeah, the nostalgia of
the show and he look back now and you go, oh,
it really wasn't good.

Speaker 4 (32:37):
But as a kid, it was just every my goodness. Yeah,
if you were five, six, seven years old in the
States and it's like, okay, birthday boy, we're after Chuck
E Cheese like the best. Well, yeah, you're probably not
remembering this. Pizza's kind of like taste like cardboard. But
it's like I'm the center of attention. I'm getting a
bunch of presents. The Chuck E Cheese band is playing

(32:59):
just for me, et cetera.

Speaker 3 (33:00):
C Yeah, because in Australia it was the McDonald's birthday parties.
It was you would be they would take you for
a tour through the kitchen. That's crazy now when you
think about it, the health and safety. But there's a
group of kids just walking through repretation, through the health
and through.

Speaker 4 (33:16):
The through the kitchen.

Speaker 3 (33:16):
They get your an ice cream cake. You'd get your
your box of McDonald's cookies. The playgrounds were actual playgrounds.

Speaker 4 (33:21):
They were fun.

Speaker 3 (33:22):
The seats were designed like cheeseburgers. There's a bunch of
crazy crap on the walls one of McDonald's. They're dressed
up Donald's man.

Speaker 4 (33:28):
As a post now where they looked they look like
an Ikea.

Speaker 3 (33:32):
Yes, as every fast food restaurant now. Which was why
I think a place like Casapernita, it's important that these
places still exist. And I think that's probably the main
reason why train At bought the place. And we'll get
into that in our review of the of the documentary.
But it's either had the nostalgia connection to it, but
b it's places can't all be boring. This place is
so eccentric, so unique. It's important that this piece of

(33:55):
history exists forever.

Speaker 4 (33:57):
Oh yeah, they strike me as the kind of guys
who want to pay it forward as Yeah, they want
ever I didn't care that was money. Yeah, they want
everyone else to have or to enjoy the same experience
that they had.

Speaker 3 (34:08):
So now let's get into a bit of a history
about what what is Casaberita, because what it's just it's
so bizarre. So the original Casaberonita, which is Spanish for
pretty house, It was launched in Oklahoma City in nineteen
sixty eight by Bill Wore, quickly growing into a chain
and known for the for their beef or chicken plates

(34:29):
and offering what's the food that cartmon likes?

Speaker 4 (34:31):
Is it so pread?

Speaker 1 (34:32):
No?

Speaker 4 (34:33):
Super piers which are a little sort of little bits
of bread bread, but they got it.

Speaker 3 (34:38):
They've been sort of glazed in honey as well. Now
to see a review that said they make you pay
for them. Now, so I'm assuming they must have given
them to you for free back in the day. I'm
not too sure. And I had to pay for them,
and I thought, well, it's food, surely you have to
pay for it. So maybe maybe because sometimes some places
give you bread for free.

Speaker 4 (34:53):
It used to get complimentary bread. Yeah.

Speaker 3 (34:55):
They wants to fill up on bread, don't they. Or
you can eat places well sure, yeah, yeah, it's because
margins don't fill up on bread.

Speaker 4 (35:03):
Yeah. But you would go into a restaurant, there would
be a little bowl of red rocks.

Speaker 3 (35:08):
Were so good that little dipping bedsticks. Yeah, fantastic, knowing
for its Mexican themed decor, which includes a thirty foot
waterfall complete with cliff divers, which is probably the most
insane aspect for me. The cliff divers like people who
are just there diving off a cliff indoors in this restaurant.
What's happening?

Speaker 4 (35:25):
Thirty feet high? Yes, nine meters? How deep is the pool?
That must be so deep nine meters that that's a
big drop. I am really just fuddled by the architecture
of this place.

Speaker 3 (35:38):
Yeah, yeah, no, wonder they ran the loss like Black
and black Bart's Cave. Sounds fun, it sounds spooky. You
see these pictures and you go, I have to just experience.
It's kind of like Disneyland. You have to go at
these one sure, you know, And I think that for
me that was a similar thing. Well went to Universal
Studios and I went, it's the et Ride, It's the
Jurassic park Ride.

Speaker 4 (35:58):
It's the ride.

Speaker 3 (35:59):
I'm actually going to be going on it. But yes,
it's got cliff divers. Casabernita became a popular dining destination
by ninety seven. Unfortunately, only two locations remained, the Oklahoma
City one and Lakeside, which is the one that Navis
Colorado Yeah, owned by Tray and map Yeah, with the
latter becoming a city landmark in twenty fifteen as designated
by the Lakewood Historical Society. Due to COVID restrictions, the

(36:20):
owners filed for bankruptcy in twenty twenty, as many people
did due to COVID. However, the restaurant was saved when
parking Stone made a deal to purchase it for three
point one million dollars. Now, apparently there was a separate
party that made an initial offer and they were suing
them and trying to prevent this from happening, because we
made the offer first, we want to make this happen,
and then it was an undiscloesside of court.

Speaker 4 (36:42):
So as they say, money took yes.

Speaker 3 (36:45):
Setting themselves a budget of six million to renovate the
job ends not costing close to forty million, if not more,
which is all documented in the documentary, which will be
reviewed for Patreon. As I mentioned, so it's what is
on Patreon, we get access to that for a long
period of time. Business boomed after this episode as well,
as we've just has already discussed, which is understandable because
I think it's the idea of going, wait, this place
is real, I have to go here, and cartment makes

(37:08):
it feel so special as well. The episode in general
makes it feel special, like.

Speaker 4 (37:11):
Oh, yeah, he's the best salesman the Casaba ever had.

Speaker 3 (37:15):
Yeah, yeah, And that's what I was saying earlier. Reminded
me of watching a sign Fad episode where they would
talk about something of an actual store or land. Michael
based the story abount it and people would then go
similar to the Super Nazi episode with a soup kitchen International,
which is what the place was originally called. It closed
for a few years I think about six years, but
it's now back known as something else. Can't quite remember,
but it's located to fifty nine to a West fifty

(37:36):
fifth Street in Midtown Manhattan. If anyone wants to go
to check out the original Soup Kitchen International from the
Super Nazi episode, which was based.

Speaker 4 (37:42):
On like Garment, just then, please go to Soup Kitchen International.
Here is a location, look it up on Google Maps.

Speaker 3 (37:50):
But the owner there's been various interviews with the owner
of the visual owner of Casaberanita, and he says that
not only to business boom, but it made the restaurant,
which doesn't feel like cool place, felt much cooler to
eighteen to twenty five ros now young people would go.
It wasn't families bringing like grandparents for like sixtieth birthdays.
It was kids were coming, like teenagers were coming. Because

(38:11):
it was on South Park.

Speaker 4 (38:12):
It was cool. Something we have to reiterate as well
is that you know, this episode is titled Carta Benita,
the one that we're talking about today, but Cassibernita features
in maybe four or five more South Park episodes. It's
just the launch for it. It's a bit of a
recurring bit. Well. I think they realized, oh, people love
this place, yeah, or people love hearing Cartman talk about it,
or love his appreciation of it, and it bleeds over
into a real world turnover for the players.

Speaker 3 (38:35):
But it's just such a perfect restaurant I think to
exist in the South Park universe. It's so bizarre, Like
we said, you would believe that Trey and Matt made
this up. Oh goodness, Yeah, this can't possibly be a
real place. A mixing, a restaurant that has cliff divers
and a pirate's cove.

Speaker 4 (38:50):
So good.

Speaker 3 (38:52):
Puppet shows, puppat shows of course, just up in Western
closing being prison. I think I just loved the Cartman
is experiencing it all quickly.

Speaker 4 (39:00):
Well, yeah, I do want to talk about his speed run,
but we'll talk about that. We don't talk about that. Yeah,
but you're mentioning here.

Speaker 3 (39:06):
So there's two stories to this episode, maybe even three,
But it's not really about Casabernita. The episode is about
Cartman wanted to go to Casperanita and being well not
want to go Casman, but being left out of the
group and what is he the lengths he's willing to
go to to get what he wants.

Speaker 4 (39:20):
And Castlebernita is essentially what we call the mcguffin. It's
the fireworks factory. Yeah, it's the it's the device that
kind of drives everything that. Yeah, it's the story engine.
But yeah, it doesn't really not that it doesn't mean anything,
but yeah, there's more to this episode than Cartabernita. Despite
this episode being titled Carcabernita, because I've got here.

Speaker 3 (39:39):
In recent episodes, Carmen, you know, he's been a real
super villain, like to the point where it's almost ridiculous.
Oh yeah, but this is for me, the perfect level
of evil for Cartmen because he's lying and he's making
Butter's friends and family worry about him and whatnot. But
he's not actually putting anyone's life in genuine danger because
he's looking out for Butters. He's just trying to keep
him away. He's not trying to You're not kidnapping, keeping
him in a hole. He's I've even got here, even

(40:01):
remembers to bring snacks from the bomb shuder when he
puts me in. He wants to keep him alive. I
just wanted to kill him. He just wants to make
sure that he's not done to take his place at Casaberanita.
And it's also a lot more believab on someone relatable
when you think about it from a child's perspective. He
wants to go to Cassabanita.

Speaker 4 (40:15):
What can I do? To do that. It's horrific what
he does.

Speaker 3 (40:20):
But you can believe that a child may go to
some sort of these lengths, well, particular Cartman anyway, at.

Speaker 4 (40:26):
Least particularly a child like Cartman who is very entitled. Yeah.
The difference between feeding a child his parents and doing
this certainly. Yeah. Yeah, I mean, I think we've all
had occasions when when you're a child, you know that
someone in your class or in your friend group or
whatever it was having a birthday party and there's this
possibility that you might not get to go. Yeah.

Speaker 3 (40:48):
Have you ever actually experienced that there's one party where
I wasn't invited and I went, I invited you. I
think it's sort of an unwritten law of if you
invite someone to your party, then they need to invite.

Speaker 4 (40:59):
You to theirs. Oh yeah, the law of reciprocity. Absolutely
that's the case. I mean, if I invited someone to
my birthday party, and I'm talking about someone who would
be kind of like on the B tier, you know,
I mean, you've got your automatic mustabs for your birthday party,
you know, then you've maybe got cute girls, and then
it's like, I suppose I should invite Richard and Jeremy.

Speaker 3 (41:21):
I always felt bad. I go, well, I'm inviting all
these people. I don't want them to feel left out.
I was very lucky as a kid because my parents
would let me go all out with birthday parties where
I was known for having. My birthday parties were known
as KFC parties, right, because what my dad would do
is we'd have twenty people sleep at my place. And
I think about that now, and that gives me anxiety
just thinking about three people sleeping in my house like kids,

(41:41):
like twenty people and we would always sleeping in sleeping
bags in the living room. What a time to be alive.
The tenn sixty four in PlayStation now all nighters, snackstreets, whatever.
But my parents would just go right advice many kids
as you want, they can stay over, and would just
go buy boxes of KFC chicken and boxes of chips.
And I'll never forget the visual of my dad walking
in and you have these massive Amazon boxes and he

(42:03):
opened it up and two of them were just filled
with KFC pieces of chicken, and the album was just
filled with KFC chips. I don't know, I've never I
don't know how he bought this. I know how haven't
they in legit KFC boxes? But maybe there's party orders
you can do or something. I don't know, But to
this day my friends will talk about, what are those
fucking KFC parties used to have? They stayed with my friends.
This was unbelievable, popped in what a lord.

Speaker 4 (42:26):
But if you would have a party and you would
invite someone who was not necessarily one of your besties
or whatever, you would naturally assume it's like, okay, well
when they party rolls around, I'm going, yeah, I did
right by them, they'll do right by me. It didn't happen.
He'd be like, yeah, we can't be friends anymore. Something's
a skew in the universe. Yeah.

Speaker 3 (42:42):
I remember there's one specific where they went, oh but
ily had limited numbers. I can invite a certain amount
of people, And I went, yeah, but they didn't have
a birthday party and invite you.

Speaker 4 (42:50):
I did.

Speaker 3 (42:50):
So what's going on here? What's that doesn't seem to
compute as a kid, I'm going I hear what you're saying.
It's not making any sense to him when you've.

Speaker 4 (42:58):
Got parties that are a numbers game, where it's when
you've got as you say twenty people coming, It's like, okay, well,
you know I can bring in people who I can
bring in everyone or almost everyone. When you've got an
occasion like cars thing here where it's like, okay, you
and three of your friends, you know, we'll get in
the car, we'll go to Melbourne, We'll go to carsa
Benita or something. I was like, oh, now I've got

(43:19):
to choose wisely, or I've got to choose twice. You've
got all choose strategically, or something like that. I don't
think where I was growing up where I talk about
my dad sometimes, but you know, yeah, he was regular
on a TV show called World of Sports on a
Sunday morning.

Speaker 3 (43:36):
Guys dad was one of the most iconic Australian football
players of all time. That's actually legitimate. There is at
the Geelong Football Ground, the stadium where we played, there
was a gate named after Guy's dad.

Speaker 4 (43:48):
It's funny. I went to an event there the other
night with the lovely Luise for her daughter Audery. He
was a did very well at the rowing this year
and there was a rowing dinner, but it was at
the dinner was at Aadnia park next to someone I
don't know, and we're sort of talking about it in
your park. And I never dropped dad's name because, quite frankly,
doesn't enough good stuff about me to talk about. But

(44:09):
I mention it to this guy that I was talking
next that I was sitting next to, who I just
met him. He used it for leverage. I didn't use
it for leverage, just used as kind of an icebreaker
because I don't it felt like we didn't have a
lot in common.

Speaker 3 (44:19):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (44:19):
I hate it when you have those moments where you go,
I want to talk to you, but I just don't
know what to talk about.

Speaker 3 (44:23):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (44:23):
So we were talking about the football and talking about,
you know, names on things and all that, and I said, oh,
actually my dad's names on a gay outside. I could
feel who next to me going oh no, no, no.
She thought it was hilarious because she knows that I
never do it. Yeah, she was like, oh, he must
be struggling. I'm normally pretty good at sparking on conversations,
but this time I was like, and I say this

(44:44):
all The guy next to me was really nice, but
it's like, Oh, we're just operating on different frequencies here.
Why am I talking about my dad? Because we yeah,
but yeah, he would be a regular on the show
Will the Sport on a Sunday morning, and in very like,
oh do you want to do you want to bring
a friend up? You know they can company may have
mentioned yeah, yeah, yeah, I know. I used to go

(45:05):
to the studio and the camera cru Now I go
every Sunday. Really, Oh yeah, that was that's pretty awesome. Well, yeah,
because it was a real bonding experience with Dad because
you know, he was off doing work during the week
and all that kind of stuff, and I didn't see
him all that often. I feel like I'm really throwing
my parents under the bus this episode. I'm not, but
you know, Sunday was a great opportunity to spend time
with Dad, but he was like, I don't want to

(45:26):
spend as much time with my son. Bring a friend,
sod him busy. My good friend JP would He would
be the one who'd come up the most. But occasionally like, hey, Timmy,
you want to come up to a World Sport on
Sunday or whoever? And sometimes I can bring two friends.
So but I was always kind of like, if I'm
brought so and so and so and so, where I'm

(45:47):
in the rotation. Should I bring the new kid, you know,
they seem cool, all that kind of stuff. If he
used it to try and appear cool to a kid
that you didn't know, No, I mean this is interesting.
I mean you're learning a lot more about guy than
you would on an episode of Going Down to South Park.
Despite what I just said, that anecdote about dropping dad's

(46:09):
name at this dinner the other night, I never used
it as a leverage growing up. My my friend JP,
who I just mentioned, said that's something we're talking about
this not long as he said, it's something I was
respected about because there was another kid at school whose
dad worked at the footy club, and this kid was
always like, my dad's a big wheel down the cracker factory,
and everyone was like, fuck you kid, And JP was like,

(46:31):
you never did that. You know, you could have done
that so easily, and you never did props to you
unless you needed to, unless I needed What made me
a big hit was bringing home a box of four
and twenty bars from Willis Sport on a Sunday and
bring it to school the following Monday.

Speaker 4 (47:18):
But anyway, what we were talking about here, the art
and the science of inviting people to your party. I mean,
it's it's something I really enjoyed about this about it
is this Kyle playing that chess move of like cart
naturally thinks he's going to come because it's the four
guys stand can.

Speaker 3 (47:35):
And Kyle has never this is the thing he's never
experienced pushback from Kyle to this length where Kyle's gone,
no matter what you do, you are not getting your way,
and Charm is not used to never getting his way.
He's going, wait a minute, I'm using up all of
my options here and it's still not working. Yeah, yeah,
I just love it. I mean, it's not but he
has to change his style as well. He can't go

(47:55):
for he can't be aggressive. He has to play three
D chests with with Kyle's emotions to get what he wants.

Speaker 4 (48:01):
I love how Kyle is not even sort of cruel
about it though. He's just very matter of fact, like
you've always been addict to me, Garman, and I'm not
inviting you. Yes, a matter of fact. Yeah, checkmate, Yeah,
three D checkmate.

Speaker 3 (48:11):
I think I think we can safely say Kyle wins
the round here in this episode. He wins the fight
he does in the end, Yeah, wins on points. Yeah,
because he eventually does get his casibinita experience.

Speaker 4 (48:23):
Oh yeah, I mean Carmen would say he came out
of the winner because you know, yeah he had, Yeah,
he had he had his calcibnita experience and he.

Speaker 3 (48:31):
Ruled Kyle's birthday as a result. But Butter's here, So Butters,
I've mentioned the previous episode. So Butter's is the b
plot here where he was being replaced or he's replaced
Cartman and Cartman has to hide him in the bomb
shoulder and hide him in the fridge and whatnot. And
we'll get into what happens there. But he's grown on
me since his debut in recent episodes because for a

(48:52):
while there they were trying to replace Kenny with Butters
and just felt like the chemistry just wasn't working there
for me. But they brought Kenny back, and Kenny was
quickly becoming almost like Cartman's sidekick, right, And I think
they've now pushed that to the side and they're using
Butters in that role, but in a much more effective
way because he's not Cartman's sidekick. He's the kid that

(49:14):
Cartman lures in. And because it's just is gullible enough, Oh,
you buy into Cartman's schemes. So he's part of Cartman's schemes,
but he's not doing it almost willingly. It's almost like
he's being sucked into it.

Speaker 4 (49:25):
Sure, and I think he has.

Speaker 3 (49:26):
He's weany enough where you feel okay to laughing because
you're like, you just you bring this on yourself, dude,
But it's also lovable enough where you go, yes, I'm okay,
I'm fine of laughing at you, but I also wants
you to make sure that Cartman gets his come up
as for being a dick to you as well.

Speaker 4 (49:42):
Yeah, yeah, I think when anyone, any creative person, particularly
you know, working in comedy or working in sitcoms or
something like that, starts out there like I'm going to
reinvent the wheel, or you know, I'm gonna have some
you know, stereotypes or archetypes or whatever, but I'm going
to do my own thing. And the the more you
go along, you realize I've got to make it pretty

(50:03):
much the same as everything else with my distinctive flavor.
I've got to get the flavor balance just right. And
you know, sometimes like I put in too much butters,
you know, and we're overdosing on bars when we like him,
but we don't like this much. You know. They listen
to feedback from the audience or critics or whatever, or
even their own creative instincts. Ah, we overdid it with
this guy. They've realized how he fits into the scheme

(50:26):
of things now and they're using him just right. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 3 (50:30):
And they've removed characters that didn't work as well, like
Miss chokes on Dick that wasn't working. They went all right,
you know what we're gonna get rid of.

Speaker 4 (50:36):
Yeah. Absolutely, they're making a giant meal, like a giant
Fayt's platopad, And.

Speaker 3 (50:42):
I think that's why South Park and season sevens feel like.
It feels like it's the most established season of Simpsons
of Simpsons of South Park so far, and the most
there I say, I think it's the best quality wise,
because they've it's almost like they've worked out the elements
that the way to use each character effectively, and they're
doing so. The only real negative I can say in
recent times is I feel like the kids are becoming

(51:03):
a bit too self aware.

Speaker 4 (51:05):
Well you've said that many times, and I agree with you.
When when an episode will close out, well, I hate
my parents. Oh just last week, Yeah, I hate my family?
Think why, yeah, why exactly are you saying that? So? Yeah?
Are you sort of being an echo of us at home?
What are you? Is it true to your character? Are
you a voice? Are you a mouthpiece for the for

(51:25):
the greatest of the show. Not exactly sure what it means.
I'm not exactly sure we need it.

Speaker 3 (51:29):
Yeah, So Butter's here now, He's become the guy that
Cartman goes to when he needs an extra helping hand
to make a scheme work. That's that's now Butters where
Ken he felt like he was doing because he was
also he wanted to do it, and doesn't have the
same impact as someone who's been lured in and suck
it into doing it.

Speaker 4 (51:46):
You need supporting players, you need supporting characters, and I
think they tried to as you said, they tried to
push Butters to the forefront a little bit too much,
whether they tried to make him part of the gang
or cause he's not part of the gang. Now he
almost feels like he is, but he's not. Yeah, he's
an appendix to the Yeah, yeah, very much. So, I
mean he's not very much doing his own thing. Or

(52:08):
even when they tried to make him Professor Chaos, which
is a storylineer never really warm to all that much.
It's fine, but it's fine, and it's like it's course
too quickly, I think. Yeah, and it didn't really have
a point so much. I mean, it was like a
one note gag in that he's the most ineffectual, he's
the most unlikely character to be a super villain, and

(52:30):
he's the most ineffective or ineffectual supervillain there is. Yeah, Okay,
I'm glad we got that out of a system. We
don't need to drag the professor Chaos costume out of
the closet. Ever again keep him this way where as
he said, he's naive and other people can put things
over on him and occasional if you're gonna put him
front of the center, as they will do later on.

(52:50):
They have it been in sort of unexpected situations and
use his naivety and his gullibility and is likability I
always happy when I say about it. He strikes me
as a very likable character and use that as to
interesting effect. He's very much the Millhouse I find of
South Park. Now he's a colmbo between Millhouse and Ralph,

(53:12):
isn't he?

Speaker 3 (53:12):
And yeah it is a good good, yeah, good combination
there for sure. So his story here is that he's
replacing Cartman in the on the invitation list. So Cartman
tricks him to think there's a meteor it's going to
hit Earth. We'll explain why in a few moments. But
he then gets tricked into hiding in a bombshelter from
the from the meteor. He thinks it's radiation outside. Every

(53:32):
time Cartman comes to say, he's like theres people aside
this cannibals, blah blah, blah, and he moves from place
to place, ends up arriving in the dump and he
thinks he's have to rebuild civilization blah blah blah. There's
also the element of the doomsday aspect in this episode
as well that I want to touch on. So Cartman
says there's a meteor, which is a play on just
disaster films. Im impact is when it comes to my mind. Yeah,
I'm again. I think I like Deep Impact more than

(53:53):
I'm again when I was a kid. But I look
back now and go, I think Deep Impact had the
well Deep Impact it hit, so I think I had
the visual. It's why I appreciate that one more. I
was like, oh shit, fucking hit. Brice Feillers wasn't here
to say the day in this one and had talone.

Speaker 4 (54:10):
It certainly did. Who goes fucked up smiler, But you
reunited with her dad, which, yeah, it was nice to spoiler.

Speaker 3 (54:18):
It wouldn't have been nice at the end, though, But yeah,
so I like the way A terrible way to go,
terrific spoilers for Deep Impact. But skip forward, like I'll
put in the I'll put little notes here so every
the episode. Now'm gonna be put in chapters so you'll
know exactly what we're talking about and when you can
skip to.

Speaker 4 (54:33):
Yeah, you've been all professional. I know it's about time.
But yeah, the media was about to hit earth Tea Leoni. Sorry.
Taloni has been strange from her father for pretty much
all the movie and all of her life. They finally reunited.
They're standing on the shore. The media was hit earth
and a gigantic clutching away. It just comes I think,

(54:55):
think it's Daddy, and then they're just small by this wave.
Would you want to go out like that? Not at all.
I don't want to drown. Man. Apparently it's the most
peaceful way to go, But who has drowned and told
you that that's true? I mean, no one wants to go.

Speaker 3 (55:15):
I mean no, I don't want to be I mean,
I'm sure I'm assuming it's better than being set on fire.

Speaker 4 (55:20):
You know. I was about to say, yeah, mother, I'm
sure there I'm much being.

Speaker 3 (55:23):
Eaten by a shark. I'm sure there are much worse ways.
But just seeing this impending doing coming towards you, I
guess maybe if you have a couple of moments to
reflect and go, well, it's happening, now prepare for I
get the feeling.

Speaker 4 (55:35):
That wave would hit you so hard and so fast
being hit by a truck.

Speaker 3 (55:38):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (55:39):
Yeah, and it's over pretty much instantaneously, which I'd be okay.

Speaker 3 (55:43):
It's a similar kind of ending to Rogue one, I
find Oh yes, yeah, with the all the light that's right.

Speaker 4 (55:49):
Yes, but and or coming back soon by the way, yeah,
can't wait?

Speaker 3 (55:52):
Yeah yeah, season two but yeah Casabernina so yeah, but
is here. I just love the aspect of it that
he thinks of the media coming can't as a kid, right,
who's confusing his disasters?

Speaker 4 (56:03):
But he watched all these movies?

Speaker 3 (56:04):
Yes, the Butter's is also so gullible that he's not
picking up on the fact. He's like, wait a minute,
why is there radiation in the air? It was a
media or the earth? Yeah, so where's his medior come from?
So he's making Butters think that there's cannibals outside and
almost like a nuclear strike, yes, but it was the meteor.

Speaker 4 (56:19):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (56:20):
So I just love the fact that he's a kid
and he confused his disasters. But Butter's, being also a kid,
had no idea to pick up on that at one point. Yeah,
And I just love the way he committed to the
bitcome and he cannot fault him for his commitment to
his schemes.

Speaker 4 (56:32):
Oh yeah, we're.

Speaker 3 (56:32):
Pulling his own hair out and looking on a shoveled
and comes up with some great ideas, great cover up.
So okay things, there's spanners in the works here. What
can I do to keep this machine working? And he's
just so good at it?

Speaker 4 (56:44):
What do they they say about sometimes about small time
criminals or whatever. It's like, if you put as much
effort into your scams and your cons and whatever and
your crimes as you did into legit work, you'd probably
be elon. You'd probably be but yeah, and but Cartmen's
very much like that. I one hundredercent agree with you that, Yeah,

(57:06):
he does. He never half asks his scheme, never no,
and he's thinking of plans A, B and C. And yeah,
going all the way with him. It's great if you're
talking about commitment to the BIT. Though. I just liked
how committed Butters was to rebuilding civilization. He did a
great job.

Speaker 3 (57:21):
You did banks and everything, ice cream stores, Yeah, went
all in. Yes, we mentioned earlier how for a show
that's titled Casperanita, it's only like the last ninety seconds
maybe two minutes is actually in the episode. I think
that was the way to do it right because it
builds the anticipation for it, and I think the payoff
is actually effective and worth it right. I don't think
the episode needed to see casimineda throughout the episode. Just

(57:44):
seeing in Cartman's mind was enough.

Speaker 4 (57:46):
Oh yeah, well that's how we saw it, wasn't because
I mean anytime you see Casmaneda before the last minutes,
two minutes maybe yeah, yeah, is just Cartman saying how
great it is, and it's all in his mind and
his and it's his descriptions of it. But the way
he's describing it, as we've said, it's like this place

(58:06):
can't be real or you are amping up you know,
aspects of this for to impress people or whatever. But
to get there, it was like, actually does have all
this stuff? Yeah, that's it's a good joke.

Speaker 3 (58:18):
Well, there's a little part in the car on the
way there where Cartman goes even just been western closing
take a photo like James goes really and KRL's like, yeah,
it's pretty cool.

Speaker 4 (58:28):
But I'm glad.

Speaker 3 (58:29):
There was two ways it could have gone gone with
this ending right, Cartman's finally about to get into Casaberanita.
Sheerly gets the phone call, I'll wait. The cops run
their way, Cartman.

Speaker 4 (58:38):
No, I to go to Caspanina. That that's one way
to end it.

Speaker 3 (58:41):
I'm so glad that they didn't pull the rug out
and then they just gave us Casamineda and just had Cartman.
Because let's get into favorite moments. Sure, my top tier
favorite moments episode is just Cartman's speed run through Casbinita.
It's literally a speed run. It's so fantastic. He's just
here's everything. It's the cave or the Cove or whatever

(59:03):
it's called. It's the puppet show, it's the divers, it's everything.
It's your watches going, holy funk, I.

Speaker 4 (59:08):
Want to do this. My favorite part of all of that,
because I enjoyed that part very very much as well,
is Cartman just going up to random people and eating their.

Speaker 3 (59:17):
Food, grab people's day, doing when he can cops and
then he sees the cops and it's almost like it
becomes a chase in an action film. Oh shit, that
way quick to the cliff. But what else did you
enjoy about the episode? I did enjoy Butters conversation with
I think it was Irene yes in his willingness to

(59:39):
repopulate the earth and just drops his pants.

Speaker 4 (59:45):
I mentioned, yeah, that that he was so committed to
rebuilding civilization. I thought that was very good At Butters.
When Cartmen is talking about the fact that there are
mutated cannibals outside the bombshell who are willing to who
are just desperate to eat, cut it Butters just like,
I don't know. I think it's a noise that they

(01:00:06):
use a lot, just the fad that they're accountable that
I enjoyed that very much. And yeah, just Cartman's attempts
to be very to be to clean up his act,
I guess Comy's hair and all that kind of stuff.
But also when he first is trying to convince Kyle

(01:00:26):
to take him, after he's been told no, no, no,
you're a dick. You're not coming to Gasamani. I said
some things. You said somethings not just me. It's completely
unwilling to take accountability. And this, you know, we're both
at faulty. Go can my things happen? Strikes me as

(01:00:47):
classic cartment and very very funny. That's okay, remember there
are no stupid questions, just stupid people. All right, it
is trivia time. I'm going to hit you with my
first question. Go to it. What were the dumping fees
for a load at the South Park dump? Someone's paying
a lot more attention than I did because I did
not know.

Speaker 3 (01:01:06):
I want to say five dollars ten dollars. Now, the
other prices on the sign were a car load was
four dollars. A toxic waste I assuming it was thirty dollars.
Appliances three dollars per item, vehicles ten dollars per item.
That seems too cheap to me. Yeah, dumping a vehicle,
but anyway, and yard waste was two dollars per ton.

Speaker 4 (01:01:25):
Good going. Who the fuck has a ton of yard
waste of the big guard? Yeah? I guess so. Yeah,
that's my first question. What's yours? My first question is
there is a store located next to Casabonita of the
road or next to next to it? What of a
certain amount, like a like a two dollars dollar store?
Three close? Was it? It is a ninety seven cent store? Oh?

Speaker 3 (01:01:49):
How random is that they have stores like that? I
guess it's like the ninety nine cent store. Well, yeah,
that's cheaper, that's true.

Speaker 4 (01:01:55):
Yeah, all right.

Speaker 3 (01:01:57):
Myday's question for you would be what was the song
that Butters was singing a couple of times throughout this episode.

Speaker 4 (01:02:03):
He sings in the shelter. Yeah, oohoooooo, baby, please don't go.
It's if You Leave Me now A boy Chicago, Chicago. Correct. Yes,
I love that song. Yeah. This is some songs where
he's singing, I'm going, what is this song? I know it?
And then I put it on and I went, I
know what. I love this song. But I never listened
to it? Is it?

Speaker 3 (01:02:20):
Some songs don't seem to get played on radio, or
he just never seemed to think about them. But when
you hear them, you go, you know, it's a great song,
this fucking one.

Speaker 4 (01:02:26):
Oh yeah, I had some mangus. Indeed, it's a tough
one to sing that because it's got that oooooo baby
please don't go tempt it. That's tough. Speaking of Butters,
he's got a Terence and Philip poster on his bedroom
wall with a particular word on it. Oh, do you

(01:02:46):
remember what that is? Did you see it? Now?

Speaker 3 (01:02:49):
I remember the post, and I think I even acknowledged it.
Saying that I love that they've they add that extra
layer to the kids bedrooms by having them have Terence
and Philip, much much like Krusty and Simpsons.

Speaker 4 (01:02:57):
In my notes, No, I don't know. It wasn't there.
It was a fart like it was very close. Yeah,
because the fart will occasionally sound like poot poot okay
an exclamation mark.

Speaker 3 (01:03:09):
What is across the road from Casabernita? There were three
places in particular.

Speaker 4 (01:03:14):
Ah see, I was paying attention to my side of
the street and not your side of the street.

Speaker 3 (01:03:19):
Can you tell me it was a porn store apawnho
porn shop, yes, yes, liquor store and the return of
stud Cat Theater, the gay cinema which has still still
screening men a Hoy Boys Night Out and Fisting Firemen.

Speaker 4 (01:03:34):
Stud Catcat two part question when did Cartman see the meteor?
And the media is the size of what?

Speaker 3 (01:03:43):
That's literally my questions? Three forty five am, And it's
the size of Wyoming. Yeah, all right, well let's get
into let's at the wrap up trivia?

Speaker 4 (01:03:50):
Do you think I think so? You're get more questions
for me? I have some, but yeah, I'm sure we
can talk about them. As we go through their.

Speaker 3 (01:03:55):
Before we get into analyzing the episode. Of course, this
is the time where we get out the cheesey poof

We are immensely grateful to each and every one of you.
Our old friends are new friends. Thank you for being
a part of the squad.

Speaker 3 (01:05:13):
I hope you guys out there when I read your
name at each on each show, that you're visualizing Bart
getting his name his birthday shared it on the Krusty
the Clan show where it's skim through the fast credits,
I try to read them a bit slower than that
so you actually hear your name. But yeah, we do
appreciate you support and you are definitely keeping the lights
on here ad going down to South Park. All right,
let's get into analyzing the episode, shall we listen it?

Speaker 1 (01:05:32):
So?

Speaker 3 (01:05:32):
The original air date of Casabernita, which is the seventh
episode of the eleventh episode of season seven, originally aired
November twelve, two thousand and three, written and directed by
Trey Parker. Now, what do you think were the top
three films that the US box office when this episode aired?

Speaker 4 (01:05:48):
Oh?

Speaker 3 (01:05:49):
Number three was Brother Bear. Number two was Elf Starry
Will Ferrell the Christmas movie What do you think? Was
number one November two thousand and three in the States
and number one films at the US box office. It's
as a I'm going to need a clue. Akay, So
it is part of a saga.

Speaker 4 (01:06:07):
I don't think it's it's Potter. It's something potterish. Oh,
it is the Matrix Revolutions, is it? Yeah?

Speaker 3 (01:06:13):
Wow, that's the third that's the third one, the final Yeah,
the wonder. No one ever really goes back and talks
about a Rewatchers.

Speaker 4 (01:06:19):
It was just it exists. Yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:06:21):
I can't remember the last money ever watched Revolutions at all,
but Revolutions was number one win. This episode originally aired
at the US box office.

Speaker 4 (01:06:27):
Wow, we used to make things in this country. The
episode kicks off with the boys. They're all sitting around
wondering where Kyle is. I think they're watching TV.

Speaker 3 (01:06:35):
And this is where we get Cartman suggesting maybe he's died,
maybe he's got aids or whatnot, And I've got here,
Kyle's decision is completely justified because what he says. Kyle
arrives sos that Kyle's family going to be taking him
to Casabinita for his birthday. He can invite three friends.
Cartman just assumes he's invited, but he's not. Kyle says
he's taking Butters instead, and we get the flashback here
of the various times he's caught him a jew of

(01:06:57):
a previous episodes, and I've just got here. Kyle's decision
here is completely justified with how Cartman has treated him
in previous episodes. Since the beginning, he has always been
a thornting Kyle side. But it even, as we pointed
out in recent episodes, they've really doubled down with Cartman's
hatred or just just negative aura towards Kyle to the
point where it felt annoying to us, and we've pointed
out it's it's getting too much. But if their long

(01:07:20):
term plan was to pay it off with this, then
it makes sense, it does, doesn't it. Yeah, I don't
think there was a long term payoff because I've read
that the story with Butters was something they've been working
on for a while. I had in the while in
the camp for a while, and the casamined one was
that came up sort of on that that week. So
I'm not sure where they had a long term payoff
in mind, but they at least they gave us one.

Speaker 4 (01:07:39):
Yeah. Reading about the construction of this episode and the
various elements that go into it, it's interesting to sort
of look at the creative process because there are certain
aspects of this that you feel like long game stuff.
There are things that it's like, oh, well, we just
came up with this, not necessarily on the spur of
the moment, but this is something new that we added
to it. The whole meteor aspect is something that they,
I think it had been wanting to do for some time.

Speaker 3 (01:08:02):
Yeah, so I wish they kind of saved it for
a more disaster film parody, sure, because they feel like
South Pick could really do that, almost like a Bart's
Comet Comet Bart's Comet episode where it's a genuine comic
coming towards Springfield and the whole town's involved. I think
an episode where the whole town is worried and what
are they going to do in these final hours? They
worry about this media coming towards South Park. I think

(01:08:23):
that would have been more fun.

Speaker 4 (01:08:27):
A movie, in all honesty, if about a South Park movie. Yeah, yeah,
that's kind of that's true. Yeah, the disaster film. Yeah.
But I like the idea of yeah, just all these
various sort of bits and pieces from all over the
shop coming together. It's like, oh, we've almost wanted to
do this, but I think it would fit in here.
I think it would work nicely with this particular story.
Like it's just something that I think it's a nice

(01:08:50):
insight into the creative process.

Speaker 3 (01:08:51):
But sometimes that mentality can leave you with two stories
that don't really feel they go well together, which is
I'm going to go back to Crab People with the
south Park is gay, with many people telling us, no,
that's a great story. I'm not saying that the Crab
People is a bad story. I'm saying that the episode
that it was in didn't need that story. These two
stories here in this episode with Cassaberita and the butts

(01:09:13):
of the media work seamlessly. I do, yeah, and the
payoff worked effectively as well. But since he's up being invited,
Cartman goes on his usual rant.

Speaker 1 (01:09:20):
You've always been a kick to me cartmen, and I'm
not inviting you Caw.

Speaker 2 (01:09:23):
You don't understand. Cassabinita is my most favorite place in
the whole world. I just I just die if you
don't take me please. Sorry, my mind's made up.

Speaker 1 (01:09:32):
Well, fuck you, Cap.

Speaker 2 (01:09:33):
I don't want to go to your faggy birthday party anyway.
I'd rather hang out at home than have to be
around you and your jew my birth day kiss my
boss at her Dude, I totally didn't mean that care.
I really really want to go to Cassibinita. I'm sorry
we had that fact just now, you know. I mean
I said some things, you said some things, but I
think it was good. We've moved past it.

Speaker 1 (01:09:53):
I'm not inviting you to Casa. Well, fuck you, Cap.
I hope you die. I hope you fuck it die.

Speaker 3 (01:10:00):
He's pretty much just an abusive spouse, isn't he. Y
Bark bark, bark, and.

Speaker 4 (01:10:05):
Then go, I'm so sorry. I didn't mean it, Buck, So.

but unfortunately Kyle still says, no, not gonna happen. And
I think good for you, Kyle, And it's important to
people like Cartman don't get what they want. Explain this
to Elliott last night because he says, we've got some
kids living in the neighborhoody, why does she always wing?

(01:10:58):
And I said, because she winges, she generally gets her way,
and you need to make you need to prove a
point early on that winging doesn't get you what you want.
She will do this, this charm, She will continue to
win because she knows eventually she will get her way,
and that's what she wants. You, Elliott, what do you realize?
Do you get your way of your wings? She goes, No, exactly.

(01:11:19):
So you don't wins, you ask, you don't get your
own way. You can be disappointed, but if you keep
winging yek, and it's not going to change the mentality.
So that's someone like Cartman needs to be. It needs
to be acknowledged to them that you can do what
you want, you can say what you want, you can
apologize for everything. I'm not changing my mind. There's a
reality check, Yeah, reality check indeed. So Cartman is now
laying in bed and he's dreaming of Cassabernicia and this

(01:11:40):
fantastic place appears. Please so excited. I apologize if I'm
mispronouncing that word.

Speaker 1 (01:11:46):
I do.

Speaker 4 (01:11:46):
I do apologize. I've never.

Speaker 3 (01:11:49):
A local Mexican restaurant, jeln. We didn't mention at the
start of the podcast. Mexican Graffiti closed recently.

Speaker 4 (01:11:54):
I reckon.

Speaker 3 (01:11:55):
I've been there maybe three times, but it was one
of those places that it was a landmark and you
just like to know that it was there, even if
you didn't go there. Unfortunately, that's why the places are
closing down, because we'd like to know they exist, but
we don't want to give them any money.

Speaker 4 (01:12:07):
No, I mean, Mexican Graffiti was very much a riot
of passage. I think for Geelong people it really.

Speaker 3 (01:12:14):
Was, wasn't it. It was the Mexican place. Now there's
better Mexican food restaurants in Geelong, and I think these.

Speaker 4 (01:12:21):
And honestly they're mostly chains. I mean, I would much
rather get a burrito from Zambrero, friend of the Pod
than I would from Mexican Graffiti. But Mexican graffiti. It
was the kind of place when you turned eighteen or
or even like if your cheap drinks, if you buy
a big jug of alcohol whatever. Yeah, certainly that's what

(01:12:41):
you'd once you turned eighteen. But even if you were
like seventeen or sixteen or whatever, it was the kind
of place where we you know, maybe your parents would
like book a table in there and name, but you know,
it's the end of the school year or something like that,
so you know, maybe eight or ten of us will
go and get a shit ton nacho and it kind
of felt like a burgeon margaarite. Yeah, it was a

(01:13:04):
transitional place. It's like, oh, okay, this is where the
grown ups come to eat.

Speaker 3 (01:13:09):
Many more of those places left in July. Anyway, I see,
I'm not young, so maybe there are and I just
don't know they exist. I'm sure young people have somewhere
to go.

Speaker 4 (01:13:17):
Usually it's away from me. Get out of here, old man.

Speaker 3 (01:13:21):
One more and I'm mestering YOURFEEDI the last time ever
went there would have been maybe three four years ago.
Maybe it was before Holly. I think it was before
Holly and Nicola and I went out there for lunch
and we got these dirty, big wraps of some kind, right,
and we just had the squirts for days and we
never went back.

Speaker 4 (01:13:40):
It was cheap, I remember going. I can't believe how
cheap this is. Yeah, but we paid the price later
you paid you.

Speaker 3 (01:13:49):
But but then we get a vision during Cartman's dream
here of Kyle saying you still can't go, and obviously
the dream fades away. Couple of wakes up screaming he's angry, sad,
and it's that Cartman realizes. He decides, I have to
be invited. I have to do something about this.

Speaker 4 (01:14:03):
How can I do this? So he decides I'm going
to start being nice now.

Speaker 3 (01:14:07):
I just love how Cartman's ployees to get what he wants,
they generally start being pleasant or just subdued.

Speaker 4 (01:14:16):
And then the second he's.

Speaker 3 (01:14:17):
Not realize he's not going to work. It's like, all right,
time for supervillains shit to come out.

Speaker 4 (01:14:21):
Yeah, you can only tear down your natural dicishness for
so long. I mean, even if it's it's easy to
put on that face of like being nice when really
you're we have to just putting on a nice sweat.

Speaker 3 (01:14:32):
Yet about to be Yeah, because Cartman arrives at Kyle's
house dressed nice and being polite, and Kyle points out,
you're not being nice. It's not going to change my mind.
You know your cat has put on a nice sweater.
I know you're still not a nice person. And when
this is not working, we've seen enough of Cartman to
know as viewers, oh, he's going to taste to the
next level. This isn't going to be what he's going
to be persisting with. So when out school and Cartman

(01:14:53):
asks Jimmy's advice on how to act nice to people,
before we get into this, I want to discuss I
feel like we were mentioning earlier characters that they've sort
of taken away Miss Chokes and Dick and whatnot, and
how they retweet characters to use them tweaks another example,
use them in ways that are more effective. Jimmy and
Timmy Field, they've really become side background characters now. I
think they realized, oh, too much Jimmy and Timmy, Yeah,

(01:15:15):
will probably be off putting. Right, So they got their
Crazy Cripples episode, which I think was episode two of
this season. We're now eight episodes later. I feel like
they haven't really had much impact. They like, for example,
Timmy in the South Packers games like they had that.
They say they catchphrases, but they're not really story driven
appearances anymore.

Speaker 4 (01:15:31):
No, No, you're right, and again maybe it's just an idea,
an idea of getting that flavor balance us right. It's like, yeah,
we can put these guys front and center for stories
that suit them, that are around them, absolutely, but making
them part of the everyday gang. Sometimes it works, sometimes
it doesn't. You know. It's we've got our core four,

(01:15:53):
We've got the Fab four. Yeah, let's just work with those.
And the other guys are sort of like, whell, we'll
bring a little bit of spice in there. I'm adding
a little bit of this, a little bit of that.
Everyone adds something. Oh absolutely, yeah, and no, I think
it's I think it's actually pretty smart storytelling on the
part of Parker and Stone that they're like, we know
how to deploy. Oh, we're figuring out how to deploy
these characters. Yeah, What's what.

Speaker 3 (01:16:15):
Made the Golden ear of the Simpsons so good was
that we had so many characters, but they were only
usually there for the occasional quote or you know, they
had their bit the comic book guy who's worst something
ever or whatever, and then they ran out of ideas
and they started fleshing these characters out. We don't want
these characters fleshed out, you know. And Timmy and Jimmy
they kind of fleshed out, but not I don't think yet.

Speaker 4 (01:16:36):
We still don't really. I feel Jimmy's lost his edge
to a to an extent, he he came across like
a bit of a dick. Well that's I think it's
funny that Cartman is going to Jimmy for advice on
how to be a nice person when Jimmy is not
a bad person. But he's also got a bit of
an edge to him.

Speaker 3 (01:16:51):
But has he lost that edge? I flip he's kind
of lost that edge in recent time. Maybe it's because
we haven't seen him, Not too sure. Quite possibly yeah,
nothing like crazy cripples.

Speaker 4 (01:16:58):
And what was the one.

Speaker 3 (01:16:59):
It was the one where they're doing the boy Scouts
when it's the slave comes into it.

Speaker 4 (01:17:02):
That's right.

Speaker 3 (01:17:02):
Yeah, but Jimmy was just a prick to everything. It
was introduction to Jimmy that episode. But he asked how
do we be nice? And He's like, well, you just
just be genuinely nice.

Speaker 4 (01:17:13):
It's not hard.

Speaker 1 (01:17:14):
Jimmy. Hey, Jimmy, wait up, dude, I need you advice
on something. Well. Shoot, Eric seemed to be the Well,
everybody likes.

Speaker 2 (01:17:22):
You, Jimmy, and you seem to be really good with people.
So I was wondering if you could tell me how
do you act nice to people? Well, the best thing
is not to act nice, Eric, the best thing is
to be genuinely nice.

Speaker 1 (01:17:32):
Okay, so how do you act genuinely nice to people?

Speaker 2 (01:17:34):
Well, Eric, part of being nice is just making people
smell and they're the best way to do that is
by telling a fantastic joke or a humorous anti anti
antic dude.

Speaker 3 (01:17:44):
Now, does he say antidote? Here pronounces anecdote? He's going
for around acdote.

Speaker 4 (01:17:51):
I don't know if he says antiktote anteicdote or something antidote, yeah,
something on his lines. But I've got my notes.

Speaker 3 (01:17:57):
There is a small place in hell for me because
I just simply not help but laugh at Jimmy whenever
he speaks. It's good the starter. I mean, I I
am a lovely person, I promise you listeners. But Trey
Parker doing Jimmy's voice the way he does the starter words,
that bit fucking slays me. I cannot not laugh when

(01:18:17):
he does that. That's the he tries, tries twice. I'm sorry,
I don't mean to do it, but it's just so funny.

Speaker 4 (01:18:28):
I think the reason that and I could be very wrong.
He is let me know in the comments that that's
the case. Why it's okay to laugh at it is
Jimmy isn't upset by it. I mean you sometimes they
don't laugh at him, no, no, no, But we're laughing
at him though, so yeah, but you I said that
we're laughing with him. But I mean, you see sometimes

(01:18:50):
people who have a starter or a stammer depicted in things,
and they're always really frustrated they can't get the word out.
It's like, I'm really angry with myself that I'm that's true. Yeah,
this is like this is how I talk, you know,
and it's done with that. As you said, it's not
it's not jack hammering, and it's more like, yeah, it's different.
It's got a nice little sort of float off at

(01:19:10):
the end, which look, I'm not that well versed in
you know, comedy tech anything. Yeah, but certainly comedy. I mean,
maybe there's a word for how they do this, but
the fact that.

Speaker 3 (01:19:25):
It's not the butt of the joke. It's funny for
the viewer, but in regards to the scene, it's not
the joke.

Speaker 4 (01:19:32):
Oh no, no, no, it's just an aspect of his character,
and it's not something that no one's making fun of
him for us, and he's not necessarily bunched up about it.

Speaker 3 (01:19:43):
It's actually a good point because maybe we don't feel
bad for laughing at it because he doesn't feel bad
that it's happening, or so pointed out that he feels
bad that it's happening. Where for example, in Billy Madison
where he goes Today Junior, you watch it now and
you go, oh, that poor kid was just trying to
read out something and he's just mocked him. And Ronick
and Vorman was very she she she should have gotten
by the Ian dradonmand the classroom miss run of Cavorn.

(01:20:06):
So I just yeah, it's actually that makes a lot
of sense, the fact that the the other cast members
and in South the other characters aren't mocking him for
it seems like it's okay to laugh and because.

Speaker 4 (01:20:17):
It's just part of who he is.

Speaker 3 (01:20:19):
Yeah, yeah, that's true, but he tries to teach him
and not not joke here we didn't get the punchline.

Speaker 4 (01:20:24):
So it's Ingmar Bergman Berman who is h such as
Seinfeld recently, I believe a Swedish filmmaker, okay, sort of
shorthand for art movies, Andy Warhol kind of thing.

Speaker 3 (01:20:40):
More, you're making me put my film nerd hat on
here while Jerry Seifer's committian her for his observational human
and in ma Bourgman is renowned Spanish film and there's
no direct connection.

Speaker 4 (01:20:52):
Thank you, AI overview kind of look at you, Why
are you asking me this question? This is a true question. Yeah,
ing my Bergen very famous, very story, very well regarded,
but also yeah, not the most sort of I guess
the joke is that this is the name that he's dropping.

(01:21:12):
Maybe maybe it's not knock joke. There's gotta be a
in mar Bergman. Who who Yeah, in mar Bergman. I
can't think of it. Yeah, the fact that there is
no punchline is maybe that's the joke. Anyway, I'm sorry,
I'm using the rainier wolf guzzle. That's the joke. Too
many jobs, Yes, but it's one of my favorite bits
of all time.

Speaker 3 (01:21:32):
But Jimmy tries. Yes, he tried to teach cutting the joke.
But then as Jimmy is talking, Cartman sees Kyle walking
down the hall towards them, so he tries to make
something of this, and he pretends that Jimmy was bragging
about having sex with Kyle's mum starts beating you up
for it, but he still doesn't work for Kyle. Do
you really think beating up he says, a handicapped kid?
Do you think beating up a handicap kid is nice?
Kyle walks off, and Cartman then goes, I'll try to

(01:21:54):
not not joke now, No, Kale, No, he's still not
working at all. Now we're in the cafeteria and he's
looking around and he sees the panther I've had a
good time at Casabinita. Now people do this, they go
to the Cartman statue and they get their photo, and
I think they just make If they're not selling this
at Casameda and then doing something wrong, they should be

(01:22:14):
having that. I had a good time, but people have
made them for themselves. But then seize the four guys
and it's including butters sitting around the table together and.

Speaker 4 (01:22:23):
Just the four of us. He's gonna be great.

Speaker 3 (01:22:25):
And you think Cartman has turned to corner here, but
you know he hasn't. You know he's going to be
up to something. But I thinkful even a slight minute,
because I I can't recall what happened this episode couldn't
have watched for a long time. I think for a
slight minute even had me, I thought, has he turned
to corner? But he's cried wolf too many times for
me to actually fully commit and buy and buy into it.

Speaker 4 (01:22:44):
You are regularly duped I am by cartmans. I want
to change.

Speaker 3 (01:22:50):
I am them the spouse of an abusive relationship, like
he can change.

Speaker 4 (01:22:54):
Well, yeah, massive manipulators that were guilt tripping Kyl in
this rea. This is where Kylo says it was like
I still said Butters has got to go. But yeah,
I still said I'm taking Butters to come. This is
the kicker here.

Speaker 3 (01:23:05):
So basically it's it's also the magic of editing too,
because that the music cue the music, cueue. You're watching
any TV show, the cue of the music, the tone
of the music is telling you how to feel. Yeah,
we'll be watching a show at the moment called Body
of Proof, right, and the one with Dana Delaney. She
is the medical example. Yeah, yeah, what was that show
she used to be on Blossom.

Speaker 4 (01:23:24):
She was on China Beat.

Speaker 3 (01:23:25):
China Beat, just the one, yeah, from the early nineties.
It's an okay show. It's fine for three seas. This
power through this, but you're watching it and not they're
on crime scenes is like boom boom boom, boom boom.
That's like it's lighthearted comedy in a side Fuld episode. Yeah,
but it's just it's all this, it's light having music
at a crime scenes like, okay, So it's meant to
make you. Maybe it's meant to make the viewer feel
more relaxed as a dead body on the ground too. Sure,

(01:23:47):
but they always got like the banter back and forth
and you think, no, cops actually talk like this at
crime scenes, like the banter on a slotted body of
proof at a crime scene.

Speaker 4 (01:23:54):
It's much different to the banter on like SVU for
exact imagine. Those are especially heinous.

Speaker 3 (01:24:01):
Say the line guy, especially in the h We always
met that Jake. I've said it numerous times. It's just
impossible not to make that joke. It never gets old,
it never gets old. But he sees Kyle at the locker,
this is the part you were discussing, and he tells
him I never meant to, you know, make you feel
bad or it's like that, I didn't realize that. Maybe
it's just maybe it doesn't make us friends, but it
makes us something. So dramatic. Dramatic cartman is the best cartman.

Speaker 4 (01:24:23):
I think it's clear that Parker and Stone condition to
be very talented guys. Grew up watching a lot of TV.
And yeah, I just sort of know the stereotypical stereotypical stuff, Yeah,
cliche stuff, and yeah, the very special moment you know,
when it's like, hey guys, it's time to get real.

Speaker 3 (01:24:40):
We can hope we can be cool. And Kyle testing
me because he's still not coming. He's like that's fine,
So you're not bothered. He's like, well, bother, you know,
Oh no, it's incredible. We've got sure, I do care.
But I hope it means we can't. I hope it
doesn't mean we can't hang out anymore.

Speaker 4 (01:24:56):
We've gone beyond three D chests into five D chairs.

Speaker 3 (01:24:59):
Yeah, and this I was like, Wow, what's going on here?
And what's all I wanted to hear. He's like, Butters
can't make it, you can come, And it was a
great it was great directing. So Carl's behind him, Cartman's
face in the cameras, behavil face bingo, like.

Speaker 4 (01:25:12):
You motherfucker, you dog. But it's just so great.

Speaker 3 (01:25:15):
It's just it is the best of evil Cartman. It's
just not hurting anybody, just playing chess, like you said, paint,
toying with people's emotions. So Cartman is now invited. I
thought he invited Butters over to his house. What did
he go to Butter's house?

Speaker 4 (01:25:28):
I think he went to Butter's house. You went to butter'shouse? Okay.

Speaker 3 (01:25:30):
Anyway, so they're in the bedroom and he tells him
to check on the but like I thought he was
in Cartman's telescope though, does.

Speaker 4 (01:25:38):
He not bring the telescope or does Butters have his own?

Speaker 3 (01:25:40):
Either way, they're in the room the telescope there. He
says that he's found a meteor and I really I
dig the terrence and filip chair and whatnot, just little
things that make it feel more South parking and real.
And he's put the METI you're on a piece of string,
little rock on a piece of string. Having Butters looked
through the telescope and he says, is it getting closer?
It's gonna closer, It's getting closer.

Speaker 1 (01:26:01):
It's a meter. Oh my guy, Oh my god. Does
it look like it's getting closer? It is? It is
getting closure? Ah my god, Oh my god. That media
is the same way. I mean, they to turn a
collision colds for Earth. When do you think I'll get here?
I don't know. I have to do some calculations, tend
to the power of one based known. Is that a
bad pair us?

Speaker 4 (01:26:21):
Five?

Speaker 1 (01:26:21):
Man is three? Oh Jesus, what according to my calculations,
that media is going to hit Earth in less than
four hours? No you mean we're gonna die?

Speaker 4 (01:26:29):
No?

Speaker 1 (01:26:29):
No better, we are going to live. Do you hear me?
We are going to live.

Speaker 4 (01:26:33):
You mentioned Deep Impact before, you know, the dueling meteor
movies of nineteen eighty eight that and I'm Ageddin and
this very much reminded me of that a deliberate thing
or they both just make movies and go, oh shit,
it happens all the time. You'll have Yeah, there's never
no such thing as the original idea, but occasionally you'll
have like a Fok's Wife and ants yeah, or two
movies about Mars or something along those lines, and yeah,

(01:26:54):
this this summer was well, Yeah, nineteen eighty eight was
big for that because that's that was the ants and
Bugs life year, and so was Deep Impact. And I'm Again,
but I'm Again was full of you know, like I
don't want to close my a that's what a fucking soundtrack.
But it had like you know, like the brain, egs
and glasses sort of say the level of path it's

(01:27:16):
happening five days from now. It's very much that's gold
in independence stay very much coming, but also you know,
just phrasing things in ways that I think arm again
it's Billy Bob Thornton, who's like he's one of the
smartest men in the world, but also like tell it
like it is. You know, someone's trying to say, yeah,

(01:27:36):
this is what we call a planet killer and so
and so on diameter. Billy Bob just said, it's the
size of Texas, Sir so and Lean's terms all those
dip ships and that's big. It's you know, so and
so kilometers in diameter moving in the speed of someone.

Speaker 3 (01:27:54):
Sounds like that's bad. That's fun. Diamonds a big side
text diamond is bigger than a beata side of texts. Yeah,
that that's that's very big.

Speaker 4 (01:28:07):
Indeed.

Speaker 3 (01:28:08):
Yeah, I can't remember the last night watch Armageddon, but
I just remember the Russian guy fixing something by hitting
it with a ranch or something. That's I'm like, what
is happening? We should review shitty movies on our Patreon
from time to time as well, I reckon.

Speaker 4 (01:28:22):
I think so, but that we can again now because
it's just absolutely awesome we are, or just movies that
are just so again, there's ridiculous. We should just do
the whole Michael baybody of work. Yeah, yeah, except the
Ninja Turtle of movies. Because iist was never a fan.
I think we can maybe do one transformatore you've seen one.
You've seen them are.

Speaker 3 (01:28:41):
Yeah, but we're going to be reviewing it a Goofy
movie at celebrating his thirtieth anniversary. If you're a fan
of that film, you can find it on our Patreon
later this month as well. And we're gonna have a
special guest.

Speaker 4 (01:28:49):
Yeah. Rob Polson is.

Speaker 3 (01:28:50):
Joining us fat review the voice of PJ the son
of Pete movie, and possibly Bill Farmer, the voice of
Goofy as well, working on that one as well.

Speaker 4 (01:28:58):

the room might be very craided, didn't.

Speaker 3 (01:29:02):
Okay, I's kite like a dinner date with bringing guy along.
But yes, we're going to be the actual cast and
cast members.

Speaker 4 (01:29:09):
Yeah, I was expecting a lot more goofiness from this
Goofy movie.

Speaker 3 (01:29:12):

we want to get access to that. We will put

free fee, but the full review of that film with
those guys, you'll be able to find it on our patreons,
so support as show. Link's a description of this podcast.
So getting back to to where Butter's being tricked by
a cartman. He's like, I love that we are going

(01:29:32):
to live.

Speaker 4 (01:29:32):
Do not worry.

Speaker 3 (01:29:34):
He suggests they go to Uncle Jimbo's bomb shoulder, and
I initially thought, oh, yes, we just recently mentioned that
we don't have Jimbo anymore and we don't get ned.
But no, Jimbo has no where to be seen. I
thank Jimmy might have been in the South Backer Gay episode. Actually,
now that I think about it. But they go down
his bomb showder and cartman officers. You know, I'll tell
the others you have to stay down here. I'll take
the risk here. So the whole thing is that he's

(01:29:54):
making Butters think that he's risking his life too safe
because Butter's gonna be one to repopulate the earth. And
another serious bit of dialogue, are you.

Speaker 4 (01:30:01):
Sure you can do that?

Speaker 3 (01:30:02):
I'm not sure of anything anymore. I feel like Tray
really thrives on that kind of dialog about you. I
don't I don't believe nothing anymore. I'm not sure of anything.
Betells me you must not come out and it will
be up to him to repopulate the earth. But how
with your winner? And I guess it's almost like a

(01:30:22):
little bit of a payoff for having Butters do the
masturbation story, Like, oh so now you kind of use
it everything, sort of paying off what weners for. Yeah,
long term storytelling. But Butters is forty minutes late to
go to Casabernina. Kyle's like, what the hell's going on?
I'd be furious. Oh yeah, so if some kids late
to my birthday party, you just will meet you their kid. Yeah,
you know we're not gonna be like I'm not gonna

(01:30:43):
be late to my birthday party. Well, yeah, what's what's
the window? How long are you gonna wait?

Speaker 4 (01:30:48):
If? Okay, we're leaving it? What's the event for for
my birthday party? Yeah? Birthday?

Speaker 3 (01:30:53):
We have to be there for your birthday party. Yeah,
I suppose if it's you are taking three friends, it's
not like anyone's going to be there meeting you.

Speaker 4 (01:30:58):
Then you and be late for it. So it's I'm
taking three friends through an event. Depends on the booking.
It's like, dude, we're all taking my car. Yeah, oh
mom and dad are driving us? Are you wait twenty
we're leaving it? Three twenty minutes, fifteen twenty minutes. If
you're not there, you just mean to say, I think
three fifteen's enough. Three fifteen and if they've given you
no heads up, oh you know, Krle's gone, because Kyle's gone,

(01:31:20):
where's Butters? We've got no mention of why it's not
here yet. Oh absolutely, fifteen minutes. Fifteen minutes is enough.
I think we're in agreement. We are in agreement indeed.
So yeah, so he's late. So Carmen is then conveniently
at the door with a present.

Speaker 2 (01:31:34):
Oh finally, happy birthday, calf. I just wanted to step
by and give you your present. Oh thanks dude, Hope
you have a good one.

Speaker 1 (01:31:42):
See you later. Oh wait, Carmen, Yes, the butters didn't show.
You want to go to castleboll need it with us,
But it didn't show. I can't believe it. Are you
sure you told them the right time and everything I
told them? Fight thirty and we gotta get going.

Speaker 4 (01:31:56):
You win?

Speaker 1 (01:31:56):
Well, I really would need to go home first and
get my well no, no, I guess I have everything.

Speaker 4 (01:32:00):
I need it.

Speaker 1 (01:32:00):
Okay, shoo, all right, let's go. Okay, boys, get in
the car, kay to.

Speaker 4 (01:32:04):
Bernita here we can comeing.

Speaker 3 (01:32:06):
Yeah, and he now has everything he needs. Unfortunately, Chris
and Linda, the parents of Butters, arrive and they're all
sad and saying the Butters has gone missing. Kyle's like,
oh shit, because Kyle's a good friend. Boy can't go
to my birthday party of Butters is missing. I come
to them missing my friend. So Carvin says that Butters
he'd want us to go. He can't give up. He
has to try and just try and make it happen.

(01:32:28):
But no, he wants to go. But now they're not
going to be going. Sheila suggests that they postponed till
next Saturday, and then Cartlin's like, why can't keephim down there?

Speaker 4 (01:32:34):

for Butters.

back and now there's a massive search party town wide
for I believe it's revealed here. His name is Leepold
Leopold Buttertotch, Leopold Stotch.

Speaker 4 (01:33:16):
Indeed, yes, did we always know that his surname was Stotch,
because surely yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:33:21):
Because there's one of those things where you've known the
character so long we forget when it was revealed.

Speaker 4 (01:33:26):
Because you wonder why his nickname is Butters. I mean,
other than it's fun to say, and then you really like, oh,
Butter Stotch. Okay, fine, yeah, that must be it. It's
got to be it. But well, that is it? But
I mean that must it must have been revealed for
because we would have discussed it. Surely.

Speaker 3 (01:33:41):
I can't remember, ship man, it's definitely the first time
they mentioned Leopold. I think the first name, yeah, Leopold
being a suburb here in Geelong, it is, yes, but
Butters is now down to the Bombshod and he's reading
various packets of the dried food rations and what are
to be Flavid Square sound like the food at our Wendy's.

Speaker 4 (01:34:02):
Oh, yeah, a square patty. Those are ready to eat meals.
Apparently they we're all going to be eating once you know,
the economy tanks even further, I just sound terrible.

Speaker 3 (01:34:13):
They should be so there used to be cheap. There
used to be I got them because it was just
cheap and easy. Now they're expensive and well, they don't
taste good and they.

Speaker 4 (01:34:21):
Cost a lot. What am I doing? One of these
things is not like the other.

Speaker 3 (01:34:25):
The Cartman here, he arrives at the bomb shoulder or
disheveled and hair ripped out and millions evaporated instantly.

Speaker 4 (01:34:33):
It's terrible. It's radiation in the air.

Speaker 3 (01:34:34):
And I was like, why that's the bit, that's the joke.
So he tells him to come out next week sometime,
give it away, give us some time.

Speaker 4 (01:34:42):
You'll be fine.

Speaker 3 (01:34:42):
You can thect ME by living, live and rebuild. And
Cartman thinks that he's got it all sorted. And I'm like,
you know what, not bad, not bad, coming thinking on
your feet, you've got this. Butters is very easily. He's gullible,
so you'll buy anything. And he thinks that Cartman is
trying to save him, so he's gonna buy this.

Speaker 4 (01:34:57):
Yeah, you've got an easy mark there Ca. I mean,
we can't give you too many points for your scheme,
but your your ability to think on your feet and
your adapt it spits pretty good.

Speaker 3 (01:35:07):
I don't think Cartman dislikes Butters. Oh No, he likes Butters.
He likes having him around, well, he uses him a lot.
But I think I think of all the friends, I
think he considers Butters to be his closest friend or
the one he likes the most.

Speaker 4 (01:35:22):
Kenny, I'm not sure. I think Kenny with it on
that point.

Speaker 3 (01:35:25):
Standing Kyle, No, but I think he likes Butters more
than standing Kyle because Butters won't push back.

Speaker 4 (01:35:30):
They will, they will push back, Yes, that's correct. Yeah,
and he doesn't like people pushing back. And Kenny's just
up for whatever. He gives no shits.

Speaker 3 (01:35:37):
But the town spent has spent three days searching for Cartman. Now,
and Cartman's here having the inner monologue saying, you're never
fan happy dance. Then the officer says we're going to
move the search now, We're going to be looking in ducks,
wells and bomb shutters, and Cartman's like, oh, ship realize
that he's screwed up again so we can't back to
the bomb shoder. Now Butters are singing Chicago, as we said,
great song. And now but that cartman's even more disheveled.

(01:36:00):
This is where he's pulled his hair out, saying, as
the cannibal's out there. Oh god, I loved Butter's response here,
o God, I hate cannibals.

Speaker 4 (01:36:10):
Just it's so great.

Speaker 3 (01:36:12):
But he puts the box over him to protect him
from the toxins because now he realizes, funk, I've got
to move him from the bomb shut there because they're
going to be checking this place eventually, and believe he
don't want to see what's out here. And as they
get out, Butter's in the distruction. So he's walking around
and he gives him a toure of the rubble. He's like,
this is where you know this used to be, and
this is where that used to be as a hole
in the earth. It's over two miles in diameter. And

(01:36:33):
now we're at the old gas station, which committally survived.

Speaker 4 (01:36:35):
It's just old.

Speaker 3 (01:36:36):
He takes the box off and puts him in the
Before he puts them in the fridge, he attends he's
the cannibal. This is the part you're talking about.

Speaker 1 (01:36:43):
Bud way right way way way by my guy. What
it's the cannibal, stay back, cannabal right way right. He's
got of get away from Butter's humanity. Lap ah, he
bit me. He better off my head. Oh god, he's
eating my hand like a piece of chicken. Can you

(01:37:03):
hear the buds? Crack? Wait? Look here there's a dead
guardy with the ax in the back. I'll put out
the ash and you needed to cut off the cannibal's hand.

Speaker 4 (01:37:14):
Really die fly, you're so delicious, most eat your bread.

Speaker 3 (01:37:20):
It's eating my hand like a piece of chicken. So
he says he's been bitten. So this is again going
in fact, it almost like a George Stands a bit
where he's just getting him so far down the hole.
So he's got to the high Butter's Butter's kind of
been near Carton anymore. He's gonna put him in the
in the fridge and lock the handles and now can
get in.

Speaker 4 (01:37:36):
And say, oh, you look delicious.

Speaker 3 (01:37:37):
Chases after it takes the handle out and he says,
you're stay inside there for four days.

Speaker 4 (01:37:41):
Butters, I love you? Or does Butter say I love you? No?

Speaker 3 (01:37:44):
Butter says, I love you to come in. Yeah, yeah,
so you really feel sober. Butters at this point you like, oh,
this poor kid, everyone's looking for him utterly since here.
He thinks, oh my god, I have to save the earth.

Speaker 4 (01:37:54):
But no.

Speaker 3 (01:37:55):
Then we get the Ajeax sanitation truck arrives and takes
Butters away. What's gonna you have it in here? So
Carmon wakes up. It's Wednesday, which means only three more
days until Cassa Benita, three more days until Black Part's
cave and Cliff divers, and then the Park County trash dump.
We have arrived at the dump and Butters escapes from
the wreckage and he thinks someone were going to be

(01:38:15):
ready active. Cannibal's on you everywhere, but there's not. You
can't find anybody. Who does find a dog though, which
was just kind of there for the episode. We don't
really get the name of the dog. It's just his companion,
It's the Junkyard dog. It's just their task for rebuilding civilization.
I'm gonna be honest in those kinds of times, kind
of like Iron Legend, your best pal a dogholutely, I
don't live anywhere near long enough but anything you want
that situation, I think a.

Speaker 4 (01:38:35):
Dog, certainly the dog from my legend. Yeah dog, oh.

Speaker 3 (01:38:39):
Man, that poor dog, poor dog. Therese are those scenes
where I watched it going I don't want to watch
this movie ever again.

Speaker 4 (01:38:45):
It made me so sad, and I understand where're coming from.
Some of our friend Will Smith's best ever acting in
that scene. I thought, yeah, well he's not saying anything,
he's just showing the emotions.

Speaker 3 (01:38:55):
You go're aw remotion. Yeah, that's true, and we do
know that Will love showing raw emotion these days. So
now they are on their way to Casaberita. The time
has come and he's bragging about how we get to
wear western clothes and take a photo like we're in jail.

Speaker 4 (01:39:10):
And I think the closest thing we have to this
is maybe Sovereign Hill. Oh yes, because.

Speaker 3 (01:39:14):
Nicholas said, school holidays here in Australia right now. Nichola said,
where can we take the kids? And I thought we
made a sovereign hill. She's like, no, I thought that's
a place you take kids, you know, I don't think
i'ven't been since primary school.

Speaker 4 (01:39:25):
But it's a place that you tick off the checklist. Yeah,
is Cryal Castle still a thing. Do you remember that?
I don't know that one. I do know Fairy Park. Yeah,
I think Cryle Castle is. I forgot exactly where it's located.
But it's basically a castle, but you know, not one
that was actually used and practical, just one that was
sort of built. Is like welcome to Yes, this mystical

(01:39:47):
kingdom where there's a castle. It's like what else you got?
Not much?

Speaker 3 (01:39:50):
It's just dawn Ferry Park, right, Yes, it's just dawned me.
Fairy Park may be the closest thing to like if
they built a restaurant at Ferry Park that's Casaberita. Okay,
family part, just a fairy part. Just feels like a
family that you know, inherited some money. We're like, we
like fairy tales. Let's just build a fucking castle on
a hill and just do all the old photoes that

(01:40:12):
but that aren't Disney, not Disney themed. So it's like
snow White and she gradual. But it's like, what exactly
is this place?

Speaker 4 (01:40:19):
That's a question.

Speaker 3 (01:40:20):
It's like a bunch of like animatronics behind a glass
that have been there for like thirty years. I haven't
really been updated to get there and you're like, I'm
not sure why we come here all the time. I've
been there once with the kids. I'm I'm not sure why.
It seems like another thing on the checklist in Geelong.
You come to Fairy Park. I think Fairy Park just
sounds good. It's got the mistake of fairy Park. You know,
it's twenty minute drive away, it's out in this hill.
We get the giant fucking gnome at the gate.

Speaker 4 (01:40:44):
It's so weird. Well do we have ren fairs in Australia,
Renaissance fairs. I don't think we really do.

Speaker 3 (01:40:49):
Do we I'm sure we do, but we're just not
part of it, of that scene. Yeah, but it feels
like the kind of place that would Yeah, Fairy Park,
take the kids, say it's it's one of those things.

Speaker 4 (01:40:59):
But it's so hill. We're gonna take kids to school
holidays and pair for gold of course, Yeah, a lot
of it's a real step back in time. Yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:41:06):
I just I have memories of finding this little bits
of gold and thinking I was rich and look back
and then you're like, I don't think it's even real gold.
I hang on to that fucking thing for years, and
then I'd found gold and I was gonna like sell
it one day, but soveregn Hill. Yeah, we'renna take the kids.
Ou'll let you guys know how we how we go.
But they said we're gonna do Black Beart's Cave of
the Puppa show, which we're going to do first, and
stand says, well, however, we just do what Kyle wants
and come fuck Kyle. It was like, oh, wait a minute,

(01:41:30):
I said that the lab part of the five part
lad back.

Speaker 4 (01:41:33):
Quiet.

Speaker 3 (01:41:33):
Yes, So even everyone stops and he starts again, quick
on his feet, start seeing Happy Birthday. Everyone starts singing
along too. But as they're driving to Kasaba, as they're
driving down the highway, they drive past the missing Child
billboard for Butters and if you do find him, call
one eight hundred and five five five s p p D,
which stands for so have Park Police Department correct n

(01:41:54):
So now we're back at the dump with Butters and
Irene is there dumping some of his ship and she
overhears but the singing the song again and he as
you are Cannibal. She's like, no, we can repopulate the
earth that he's He's built a library, a bank, possibly
a p of chains. He's thinking about it. He's not
sure he's going to do that. You've got a hotel
and ice creamy shop and a memorial to Cartman because

(01:42:14):
he's the one that risks his life to save him.
And this is where he says it's time to repopulate
the earth and drops his pants and she I think
she handled this in the most adult way possible. She's like, look, kid,
I'm not sure what you think is going on, but
this is the dump and everyone is fine. They've been
looking for you for a week, I believe. And he's
just like, oh shit, and we've all had that awkward

(01:42:35):
moment where we've had our pants down in our ankles. Absolutely,
some was more often, some was more often than not
often exactly. And he asked to use Irene's phone so
we can call up and find out where is everybody.
Can you come pick me up please? So now they
arrive at Cassabernita. It's time for the moment. Cartman is
super pumped. He's walking ahead of everybody, but unfortunately sheerless
phone rings and we don't know who it is, but

(01:42:57):
it's somebody. I mean, it might have been the police,
maybe it's but his parents, but then explain the whole scenario.

Speaker 4 (01:43:01):
We know what you did.

Speaker 3 (01:43:02):
The plice are on their way, Eric, the police are
on their way, and he takes Kyl's hostage. So he's
just like he's gonna be He's gonna be doing it,
and he realizes here even in this moment, Krle's I
can't one's like, I'm sort of worth having a hostage.
They're on their way. I'm going to enjoy Casabina drops.
Kyle runs in and he gets the full Casabinina speed
run experience.

Speaker 1 (01:43:24):
Oh I jam, excuse me, Can I just eat some
of your kittens? Take it? Take it? Okay, okay, I
get this back by jap come. Oh scary, not this gadget.
Oh man, I'm so scared.

Speaker 5 (01:43:42):
That drift diverge come back, come I dive dive at hop.
Oh myself, that was cool.

Speaker 4 (01:43:57):
I thought it was fantastic, just going from stealing food
going through the cake. Oh scary, his reactions and just yeah,
but just yelling out the things that he's actually Cliff
That sca so scary puppet show.

Speaker 3 (01:44:12):
And then it gets to the point I love that
the police are at every turn. He goes to the
top of the cliff and he dives off into the
water and whle kid. The police says, you made the
whole town panic, you lost all your friends, and you're
gonna be going to Jivy for a week.

Speaker 4 (01:44:24):
He sure it was worth it, totally totally and I
think it was. Oh god, Cartman, this was totally worth it.
Oh yeah, he'd be remembering this for as long as.

Speaker 3 (01:44:33):
And it turns out South fans have been as well,
because this really put the Casamina back on the mapst Yeah.

Speaker 4 (01:44:39):
Oh, bigger and better than ever initially.

Speaker 3 (01:44:42):
Yes, obvious when bankrupt train have brought it since depending
on which review you read, it's good, it's not. But
I think if I am ever in the area, I
would have to go to Casperanina.

Speaker 4 (01:44:52):
You just have. It's one of the things you have
to cross again in the checklist. You have to do
it right, I think.

Speaker 3 (01:44:55):
So I don't think I'm going to go there just
to say I'm being to Casperanina, But if I'm in
within like a ninety minute drive, I'm gonna make the effort.

Speaker 4 (01:45:03):
I imagine if I was in Colorado, and yeah, as
you said in the vicinity of the scene, I'll be
also like if there are two or three other things
in the vicinity of Carsabania, it's a ferry park and
Sovereign Hill, Okay, then I'll make that trip. I don't
think I'm going to dry drive ninety mons just for Casaberneda,
but I gotta say this episode does make a good

(01:45:25):
case for it. It does indeed. Yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:45:27):
So that is our review of Casabernita. I hope you
guys enjoyed this more lengthy version review here. I've gone
down to South Park, so we're gonna be announcing here
starting from season eight, they reduced the amount of episodes
per season to fourteen, and then from a few seasons
I With Jobs to ten, and some of them only
have like six and four. And we realize, if we

(01:45:48):
keep up at this rate, we're going to be burning
through every episode of the show within like just.

Speaker 4 (01:45:53):
Over two years. We're doing a speed run of our own. Yeah,
and we don't want to do that.

Speaker 3 (01:45:57):
And this show originally was a bi weekly show, and
what we're going to be doing is we're going to
be going back to that as of season eight. So
the episodes we figured are going to be more quality
over quantity. We found that because we were doing so
many episodes in a week, we had to reduce the
length of time just so we can pay for the
editing and just for our own well being. Basically just

(01:46:19):
CAUs a lot of work to do. So we're gonna
be toning it back again, so going down to South
Black as of season eight, will be going back to
buy weekly, but you're going to be getting longer reviews
where we go more in depth about the history behind
the episode and things that are established or mentioned in
the episode with a bit of a brief history and
that as well. So let us know in the comments

(01:47:01):
is so releasing it by a weekly but also at
the end of each month, you're gonna be getting a
bonus episode, which is all the mail bag episodes and
just the sort of a brief, sort of catch up
with the community of going down to south Park and
any south Park News. Because they recently announced that put
the trailer for season twenty seven, people are super pumped
for it. There's the news that Trey and Matt's film
with Kenrick Lama has been pushed back to twenty twenty six,
