Yeah, and my powerful manches nick me into bull knock.

Speaker 1 (00:08):
I definitely the compassionate need to who protect those in trouble?
What's your ninja name? Kenny? Oh?

Speaker 3 (00:17):
Yes?

Speaker 1 (00:18):
And who dedicated his life? Who eradicating the work? And
all right, Naja, let's go protect the world. Kick it
kick as. Welcome to Going down to south Park, the
podcast where we always have ourselves the time, and this
week we are here to review the first episode of

(00:39):
season eight. That's right, we are here with season eight
of South Park. It is good times with Weapons. I'm Dando,
I'm guy. When's the last time you had a good
time with a weapon? Hmmm?

Speaker 4 (00:48):
I don't know if we call it a good time
with the weapon. When I held up that convenience store,
I mean not really a good time for the person
behind the counter. I got away with a bit of money,
so I was pretty happy.

Speaker 1 (00:56):
No, none of that is true. When's the last time
I had a time with a weapon? Gosh, I can't
really remember. You don't come across like a weapon kind
of guy. I was when I was a kid. Okay,
but we got the idea of weapons, didn't we.

Speaker 4 (01:09):
Yeah, but I'm sure I've again told this story one
of our episodes in the past. But yeah, kids play
war when they're little, or they play certainly boys play
violent games, you know, they play war, or they play
what used to be called cowboys and Indians now is
called frontier settlers and Native Americans.

Speaker 1 (01:27):
It's well, now, kids, I find because Ali is six
nearly seven, they play superhero so now it's very Marvel based.
This is who you're gonna be. I' gonna be Black Panther,
I'll be Spider Man, I'll be Iron Man. Every kid
always fights over who gets to be the Hulk, because
Ulk's the coolest superhero part the coolest of course Captain
America maybe because he's sort of positioned as the leader.
Captain America gets his shield. You know.

Speaker 4 (01:48):
That's a good point. Yeah, And of course you do
that in group situations. But then there were times that
I would play by myself because you know, not that
I was an only child, but I was the only boy,
and my sisters were a bit older than me. I
I lived a fair distance from some of my friends,
so I'd have to entertain myself. I had my share
of toy guns, my Star Wars storm Trooper blast a rifle,

(02:09):
some plastic M sixteen that I had, and I invariably
crawl up to the top of the roof somewhere and
play sniper Pip.

Speaker 1 (02:14):
I think you've told the Stuffer story. You go, gotchah.

Speaker 4 (02:19):
I just for some reason when I was a kid,
and it's still sort of bled into my adult years.

Speaker 1 (02:24):
I like the idea of being, you know, like the
lone wolf for the silencer on the end. Yeah, okay,
well on here for the next twenty four hours. What's
what you have to do when you're like me and
you had no friends, You just had to make friends,
make up friends.

Speaker 4 (02:37):
I'm pretty sure Bob and Mike were like, it's up
on the roof again with that, right, it shouldn't have
given it doing Bobby.

Speaker 1 (02:42):
Oh, all right, you're right, But good times with weapons.
I had a good time watching this one. I had
a good time with this as well. Apparently in twenty fifteen,
Tray and Matt said this is their second favorite episode
of all time. I think this is an episode you'll
appreciate more if you were a child who lived through
the anime boom. I'm dragon ball Z Pokemon. I've got
similar vibes watching this as did watching chim Pokemon, because
you know, I was right in the midst of it.

(03:04):
I was about ten twelve when Pokemon really took off.
Dragon ball Z really kicked off about two thousand years.
I would have been grade six, you know, right in
the right in the wheelhouse and right age for it.
I never really got into anime. My friends loved it.
I think I just watched it so I could keep
up the date with what my friend's going to be
talking about. I wouldn't necessarily necessarily say I was a

(03:24):
huge anime fan, but I needed to know who's freezer
fighting this week so I can at least pretend like
I knew what I was talking about.

Speaker 4 (03:31):
Of course, a lot of a lot of childers actually
spend that way, just playing a bit of catch up.

Speaker 1 (03:34):
I was like, did I say that. It's like me
when I went to Ford, someone who knows nothing about
cars and being yeah, fucking miss that and the other,
and I'll be like, yeah, that's right, four on the
floor Premium fuel.

Speaker 4 (03:46):
Yeah, was it three on the tree or four on
the floor?

Speaker 1 (03:51):
Explain yourself down. I gotta go by the way, I
apologize if I said a bit under the weather. They've
got a bit of a block nose and a chest
infection the moment, so he's powering through like hero that
he is. Yes, yeah, I was not really an anime
guy either. Anime like your head tire right. Absolutely.

Speaker 4 (04:09):
Well, you know when I was twenty something in the nineties,
and you know, anime wasn't necessarily thing.

Speaker 1 (04:14):
But yeah, there was to some degree.

Speaker 4 (04:17):
Yeah, a bit of a bit of manga adaptation was
sort of coming through in the culture, but yeah, mainly
sort of weird hintai kind of stuff like Wicked City or.

Speaker 1 (04:27):
What's that one where it's like a squid having sex
of a woman or something.

Speaker 4 (04:30):
That's legend of the overfeet. My apologies to any Japanese
listeners or people who are.

Speaker 1 (04:37):
Fluent in Japanese.

Speaker 4 (04:38):
They probably found my pronunciation they're either mangled or just
down disrespectful.

Speaker 1 (04:43):
But I enjoyed these disrespectfully mangled. Sorry for the disrespect.

Speaker 4 (04:48):
I'm sorry to dishonor you and your ancestors, but no,
I enjoyed that a whole lot. But things like Dragon
Ball Z and the others that you were talking about.
I know it exists, it's just not quite I'm not
it's not quite my tempo. But I what I appreciated
about Good Times with Weapons was the appreciation of the

(05:09):
affection that Parker and Stone and the subsequently the kids
had for it. Yeah, because what this really struck me
as and you can you can sort of transfer anything
onto it, and I mean it could be anime in
this case, but it's this is really just a celebration
of childhood imagination and childhood enthusiasm.

Speaker 1 (05:31):
They always managed to really just nail what it's like
to be a kid. Oh yeah, yeah, well they are
kids at hearts, do aren't they training? But I think
that's where it comes from very much.

Speaker 4 (05:41):
Yeah, this is just absolutely celebrating the fact that you
can watch a couple of episodes of something or just
get really hooked on a show or a comic book
series or a character that you like and just want
to be in that world or in that skin or
Star Wars for you when you're a kid.

Speaker 1 (05:57):
Star Wars absolutely. My uncle Darren Patron say I got
Darren always is that when he was a kid, they'd
be constantly just going around being lea Skowork can solo
you had to be a Star Wars and we.

Speaker 4 (06:05):
Had a bunch of that stuff in the playground when
I was a kid. Absolutely, and this reminded me of
i'd say a childhood incident. But this only happened once,
but I remember it very very vividly.

Speaker 1 (06:18):
I thought you were invisible.

Speaker 4 (06:22):
We'll get to that. No, no, no, there are certain
parts that I remember very vividly. But my best mate JP,
we were about maybe eleven years old. We're out at
some place on the outskirts a long I won't say Lara.
We were sort of close enough in the Gelong and
particularly the shell refinery. That's yeah, yeah, so, but we

(06:44):
were I think we were in Krab. I think we
were sort of between Caria and Lara the bad Lad Bad.
I don't know why we're out there for Bobby was
out there for some reason. We were out there with
my dad. I think he might have been buying a
car or something.

Speaker 1 (06:57):
Like that, or being given a car. Quite possibly. Dad
got given a lot of cars.

Speaker 4 (07:03):
But it was late, I'm not late, but it was
dark and JP and I were just sort of like
exploring around and for some reason we started playing this
game where we were like vampire Hunters, not not even
a game, just like we were pretending we were like
vampire Hunters. Know, we're out in this place where it's like, oh,
there's all sorts of monsters in the shed or whatever.

Speaker 1 (07:21):
You're fully invested, and we were fully invested.

Speaker 4 (07:24):
I mean, God bless JP one of my favorite people.
I mean, he wasn't he wasn't a dork like me.
JP was actually kind of sporty and cool.

Speaker 1 (07:32):
Oh I was just a big dog. But he really
got into it as well. We were just sort of
stalking around like, no, he's behind there, look at it
over there. No, we got to look, you know.

Speaker 4 (07:40):
We were sort of the refinery was the city that
we had to say, we can't let them get past you,
otherwise we'll get to there. I remember to this day
and it was just not a great time.

Speaker 1 (07:49):
But it was like it's a good memory.

Speaker 4 (07:50):
It's a great memory that because it's just a great
reminder of that unleashed, unfettered imagination you have when you're
a child.

Speaker 1 (07:57):
And that's for me. I think they're very important memories
because as you get older, you lose the ability to
just sort of immerse yourself in a game like that, right,
I really do. Yeah, Because that's what I really really
liked about this episode was the way they you saw
what the kids were seeing, but then when someone else
came along, you're going back to reality and seeing what
the real world was seeing. Right, But when you're a kid,

(08:18):
you're not seeing the real thing. You're likely For example,
on the school gad he thinks he's Hulk. Yeah, he
sees I am in running away, not his friend Leo.
You know he's in it. Yeah. Yeah, And I think
it's really important as an adult, As I said, we
lose the ability to do so you have to remind
yourself it's okay to be a kid. Sometimes it's okay
to be creative. It's okay to just sort of you

(08:38):
know what, fuck what fuck being normal, Just have fun.
It's true, kid, you gotta grow up. But also you've
got to remind yourself use your imagination from time to time,
be creative. Well, that's that's the thing. I mean, those
those muscles can actrophy all that ability, you can sort
of get calcified. Yeah, the part of your brain it goes, no,
this isn't real, and you just it's it's hard. Yeah. Yeah,

(08:59):
it's hard to shift back into that. It's very hard
to show. I think being a parent really helps you
because you sort of lived by charasts through your kids.
So Elliott's playing this game and all of a sudden,
I'm the tickle monster or whatever, and I've become the
tickle monster and I'm like a kid again.

Speaker 4 (09:14):
Yeah, I've come over to the recording studio at the
Dando HQ today what's on the big screen. But Blue
and Blue is very much like that. I think Blue
is a huge celebration of that. It's a great reminder
for kids to, you know, live in the world of imagination,
don't live there exclusively, but you know, revel in it
absolutely and so also a great lesson for parents to

(09:37):
nurture that in your kids, encourage it, be part of
it as much.

Speaker 1 (09:41):
As you can. Enjoy it whilst you've got the enjoy
it while you've got it. Absolutely.

Speaker 4 (09:46):
So Yeah, sorry to bring this back to good times, web,
I think, yeah, that's that's what works really well about
this episode, and that's why I think it's so beloved
by so many South Park fans. You go into the
into the archives or your forums or the forums or whatever,
and you'll find oh yeah, love, good times were weapons.
And I think there are a lot of reasons for that.
I think there's that real That's what I'm looking for,

(10:09):
dedication to getting the anime part of it right or
as right as.

Speaker 1 (10:13):
They could, because the anime for a lot of people
of my age, not necessarily me, but a lot of
people of my age, it means so much to them.
And yeah, this is satire, but it's not taking the
piss satire. That's the thing.

Speaker 4 (10:23):
They walk a very very fine line and sometimes you know,
Matt and Tray, they will fall on either side of
that line.

Speaker 1 (10:30):
Here they walk it just right, I think.

Speaker 4 (10:31):
But I mean they're acknowledging the ridiculousness of it, particularly
the Western audiences. I mean, I'm sure that Asian audiences
are going, like, you know, this is how we do
things and the way the way you present imagination or
flights of fancy or whatever. There's a little nap and
a little silk, whereas we're going, oh what about that
song and oh what about all these poses.

Speaker 1 (10:51):
So I've been watching pro wrestling. I love it because
of it's so ridiculous, you know.

Speaker 4 (10:55):
And you get the feeling watching the way they've done
it here, It's like, are you really like it and
respect it? But you also recognize that it's it's a
little extreme and it's a little dumb. I mean, the
song is the best, is the best example. Now I'm sorry,
we're probably stepping on favorite bits because I think that's
going to be both you and I.

Speaker 2 (11:11):
We're both gonna like fighting love, protecting the buzz. Yeah,
I love it, just throwing random lines in there, but
that's that's a very big thing in I want to
say Asian music. And forgive me if I sound a
little disrespectful or ignorant when I say that, But even

(11:31):
with like K pop, for instance, you'll find I went
through a phase a little while ago. I wasn't like
a massive BTS head, but I saw them on Saturday
Night Live. But you listen to My Boy with Love
or something by BTS or whatever, and a lot like
the biggest band in the world.

Speaker 4 (11:48):
They were not seeing them on us and l you
never hear the audience go crazy for the band producing them.

Speaker 1 (11:56):
It was like the fucking Beatles.

Speaker 4 (11:58):
Yeah, but you listen to their song and you're mostly
the languages is Korean, but occasionally or throwing like so
text me, it's like that was English, and that's I
think that's the way that it is. If you want
to attract in the national audience, it will be mostly uh,
their native tongue with a few English phrases throwing and it's.

Speaker 1 (12:20):
Like, oh okay, well this appeals to everybody. Yeah, we
can all enjoy that, I think with a satire too,
back saying that similar vibes to on Chimpokemon. Also similar
to All about Mormons, where they were mocking Mormonism, but
they were also clearly you can tell it came from
a place of lovers.

Speaker 4 (12:35):
Absolutely, yeah, oh yeah, there's no there's no disrespect here,
which is very important.

Speaker 1 (12:42):
Did you do the pose every time? Every time? I'm
all about the respect, all about honor. I have my
mate Phil, who I've mentioned numerous times in the podcast.
He's from the Philippines. He's not his family from the Philippines.
He's born in Australia, right, but he used is his
name actually Phil? Or do you just go and film
because it's Phil from the Yeah, fills his name Philip, right,

(13:03):
don't go there, I imagine. But he used to play
it up right, and sometimes you know how like for example,
that the kids here will do the whole parents are Dad,
Phil would be, he'd play at bell great disser. People
will be like, didn't know how to take it. They're like, oh, yeah, sorry,
I didn't mean to offend you. He's like, it's okay,

(13:24):
it's okay. He put the voice on everything. And we'd
sit there dying of lard on the inside, and these
people just like cringing, going, oh, I've said something really offensive.
I'm saying sorry, he couldn't give two ships, but you're
just You've been great song to my family's to always
just do it. It was funny, like a legend, and
he's someone to come up with the song where's my
Asian Friend? Pretty good? But getting back to this though,

(13:52):
so this is great satire of anime in the boot
that particularly the boom of anime yes in America, in
US and whatnot, American and Australia whatnot. But for me,
I think they use it so effectively to also have
commentary on the way that parents or you know, just
people in general were more focused on sex and unity
over violence issue. And this came this episode a month

(14:13):
after the Nipplegate That's.

Speaker 4 (14:15):
Correct, the whole Janet Jackson justin Timberlake Super Bowls and.

Speaker 1 (14:20):
Four super Bowl wardrobe malfunction, which apparently is where the
term wardrobe malfunction was coined. Yeah, it's just always been
something in my memory. I just didn't realize that that
was the moment. It was just a wardrobe malfunction, and
everyone's just run with it, and everyone knows exactly what
that means now they really do.

Speaker 4 (14:37):
Yeh, that's such an odd situation, that whole thing.

Speaker 1 (14:41):
I was so two thousand and four. I would have
been how old fifteen? Turning sixteen to fifteen? You would
have been life changing for you. Yeah. I remember watching it,
going it's got to be a publicity stunt, and they
still claim that it wasn't. I'm like, how why? I'm sorry?
This is the super Bowl halftime shot? Yeah? Why were you?
It is one? Why because tiples like I was meant

(15:02):
to be her red bra and I'm going, why why
would you do that? Does makes sense? Why would you
rip that off? The show? Her red bra? It's silly
like she was wearing a nipple ring like around an
what was that nipple? A pasty? A pasty? But she
was wearing a pasty. You don't see a nipple. Do yes,
that she was wearing a thing around her nipple? Have
you never watched it? I'm so seen.

Speaker 4 (15:21):
I'm pretty sure that she's not. I'm pretty sure you
don't see her actual nipple.

Speaker 1 (15:25):
Really, is this like a Mandella effect thing? It could well,
but I thought she was wearing a thing around her nipple,
around her nipple.

Speaker 4 (15:32):
I think she's wearing something that covers the actual nipple
but sort of looks like in.

Speaker 1 (15:37):
Nip Janet Jackson super Bowl. Let's have a look while
you're looking that up. But as as all the watching
it in sixty five per second continue, of course you get.

Speaker 4 (15:47):
An advertisement in there, all the all the controversy that
surrounded that. Yeah, and in various ways it's like, oh, well,
this is, you know, disrespectful to women, and all this is,
oh won't someone police think of the hilt and all
this kind of stuff. All of this is so manufactured
and so staged and so contrived. It's like, no, Timberlake

(16:08):
didn't this is part of the plan.

Speaker 1 (16:09):
This was all part of the plan. It was at
that point there was that the fact that they were
doing this to exploit a woman's body to I don't know,
I'm pretty sure that jannat Jackson would have would have
done stuff that was a lot of bang. I heard something.
Oh my god, the cat's his bags and hanging. Check
what it was. You want to know what happened? They
climbed up on the window cell in the bathroom because
the door was left open. I don't know. I must

(16:30):
have left it open, and they smashed where Nicholas candles
into the bath off the window. Sell is the candle
actually smashed? Smashed? Oh boy, Welcome to Life as a Cat.
The Continuing Adventures of Life as a Cat. Dad. Ah, wait,
so maybe you don't see her nipple. I don't think
you did. I always thought you saw a nipple.

Speaker 4 (16:50):
I think it's a more so it's like a decoration.
It's almost like a door knob handle.

Speaker 1 (16:55):
Uh, yeah, it does. It's covering her nipple. You can yeah, okay,
in my mind, always like a round her dipple. There
we go. What did anyone can then? Can't see anything?

Speaker 4 (17:05):
You had various people jumping on the bandwagon say oh,
like I said, disrespectful to women or we should not
be having this during the halftime show of the main
sporting event of the year. Apologies to people who like
baseball or hockey. But everyone found a way to exploit
it for their own means.

Speaker 1 (17:26):
Well, it says here YouTube co founder Now his name
is ja w e D which is either jawed or jawed.
You people say ours is worst jawed. His name is
jari Jahwared Jared Karim. He credits the incident with leading
to the creation of YouTube.

Speaker 4 (17:41):
I get the feeling we're going to be apologizing for
a lot of insensitivity today.

Speaker 1 (17:45):
We don't mean it. No. The incident also made Jennet
Jackson the most searched person and term of two thousand
and four and two thousand and five, and it broke
the record for most searched event over one day. It
also became the most watched, recorded and replayed talent vision
moment in TVO history, and Entyson estimated thirty five thousand
new TV subscribers to immediately sign up.

Speaker 4 (18:07):
One might say there's no such thing as bad publicity. Yeah,
maybe anyway, but yeah, for Parker and Stone to take
that and run with it a month after the incident.

Speaker 1 (18:17):
Yeah, use it like the term wardrobe al function. Yeah.

Speaker 4 (18:19):
And also again using it for their own means good
on them. I mean it's something that everybody was talking
about it.

Speaker 1 (18:26):
It's just a no topical episode, isn't it. It is? Yeah,
this isn't a victim blaming incident or what I'm talking
to him, by the way, But I mean Janna Jackson,
you know, I mean, she's had her share of Like
there was the Rolling Stone couple where she's got some
do behind her basically cupping her breath. Probably I'm not
going to say more offensive because I wasn't offended, not
in the slightest, but also playing sexier, you know, or

(18:49):
playing more erotic, and you know, on newsstands everywhere in
the world, people can be very hypocritical, That's what That's
what this episode is saying, like, Oh, your kids are
running around with ninjus and swords and guns and whatnot,
but let's worry about this. They're throwing kids eye. How
dare we show a nipple on TV? Obviously here it's
Cartman's well, but the way the way they slice that

(19:14):
in felt so organic, but so it was just so
spot on, so funny.

Speaker 4 (19:18):
No, they took a lot of different elements here and
piece them together very very nicely into a very cohesive hole.
I enjoyed this episode a lot. I'm not going to
say it's like, oh, this is one of the greatest
South Park episodes of all time.

Speaker 1 (19:32):
Like a lot of people are. Because you're not an
anime fan. Well that's that's the thing. Yeah. I mean
if you, if you enjoy what they're taking the mickey
out of.

Speaker 4 (19:39):
I think your enjoyment is going to be enhanced certainly.
I mean I watched this episode, had a good time
with it, had a few laughs, and then did a
little bit of research post that, and everyone's like, well, a.

Speaker 1 (19:49):
Good time with weapons, best episode ever. Because I was
watching a bunch of reaction videos on YouTube that are
racking up incredible amount of numbers. Basically just some chump
look at the camera. That's but enough about that. But
I must I must have been. I was like, what
are they seeing that I'm not? And I think you're right.
I think it's like that this is a.

Speaker 4 (20:11):
Demographic that's got a real appreciation for anime and that
kind of stuff.

Speaker 1 (20:14):
For example, right if I showed the South Pike episode
to nickol I mean, she doesn't laugh at uch Southpike anymore,
just say she liked a lot of Stung Pike. Right
if I showed a friend of mine who liked anime, right,
but it wasn't a big sort of like sci fi
fan of movie guys, just you liked anime. Instead. If
I showed him this, he'd love it. If I showed
him the episode but it had George Lucas and Spielberg,
he wouldn't get the jokes correct. But we love that

(20:35):
because we do appreciate what they're taking the mickey out of. Yeah.

Speaker 4 (20:38):
So yeah, for someone like me who recognizes that, oh
that's the style, and yes, he will have a song
like that, or you know, a character will sort of
strike that.

Speaker 1 (20:48):
Like I think one of my favorite parts of this.

Speaker 4 (20:51):
I don't think I've actually written a dann in my
favorite parts, but just that closing freeze frame of it. Yeah, yeah,
with you know, sort of flexing the muscles.

Speaker 1 (20:57):
And the music. Yeah, like I really like that. That's
one thing we also haven't touched on yet, is the
music and the anime. What was the first HD episode
of the show of all time? First of all HD episode? Well, yeah,
first one to be remastered in HD? Is that right? Remastered? Iss?
I thought it was the first one the airon HD.
Maybe I'm wrong. Anyway, What I liked was just the
set designs. When they are in their anime versions of themselves,

(21:19):
the background slots, it looks different and it looks like
a proper anime. But the music cues. It's the music
and the score, and that really makes this feel like anime.

Speaker 4 (21:27):
And they got a wide screen as well, don't they think? Yeah, yeah, yeah,
so they really pay homage.

a song, isn't it. That's true?

Speaker 4 (22:19):
Although according to Wikipedia, which as we know, never lies.
Trey Parker is an admitted Japanophile. Yeah, so yeah, I
mean he's clearly absorbed this stuff and is able to,
like we say about all the best artists, distill it
and re send it out in the world through his
own particular perception.

Speaker 1 (22:38):
So I like that a lot.

Speaker 4 (22:39):
We're getting, I guess foreshadowing of Cartman's appreciation of mel
Gibson and mel Gibson will shout later. Yeah, there's at
least two mentions of mel in this proven wrong, go ahead,
prove mel Gibson wrung.

Speaker 1 (22:55):
But I love the way Cartman refers to his I
saw mel Gibson's movie The p Did you see that
when you? Did you ever see that? Watched the main scene,
That's all I've ever watched one. I'm not sitting through
three outs of this.

Speaker 4 (23:12):
Yeah, I remember seeing it at the cinema. It's like
pretty extreme, but no one talks about it anymore. Not
really so popular at the time, but no one talks
about Maybe because mel Kipson attached to it, maybe it
was an incredible better on yourself then, because I mean,
like he put all his own money into it. Yeah,
And like, no, I'm making a movie about the not

(23:33):
just the life of Christ, but basically the crucifixion of Christ.
And I'm going to do it in a dead language
in Aramaic. Yeah, and it's like, okay, mel if you've
got that money to throw away, a bo means do so.

Speaker 1 (23:45):
And he just better on himself and he won back
big time. Wow. I spent thirty budget was thirty million
plus marketing, of course, but box office was six hundred
and twelve. Yeah.

Speaker 4 (23:56):
Incredible, incredible, But yeah, I just love that cart and said,
if the Road Warrior says it, it must be true.
What else did I enjoy? I think it was Kyle
is that you know, when they they're putting on their
anime sort of characters and making their declarations of intent.
I think Kyle says, born to fight evil and people

(24:17):
I don't like.

Speaker 1 (24:17):
I think that's stand. Yeah, because Kyle's one was whoever
Got Oh yeah, Kyle is bin Raku, a deadly but
compassionate ninja who protects those in trouble. Sorry, that's one
thing we have. We should also touch on how each
character was so specific and in character, wasn't it? Oh? Yeah,
very much so. But I think that's another Kudos to
tray a mat because if the kids are creating these characters,

(24:40):
of course they're going to be like they're going to
see see some degree of themselves in there. Even.

Speaker 4 (24:44):
Yeah, it's funny that even Cartman, when he becomes becomes
a ninja, is basically a big samul hung kind of
yeahstly kind of guy.

Speaker 1 (24:53):
Yeah. I enjoyed that very much, just like born to
fight evil and people I don't like. And yeah, probably the.

Speaker 4 (25:00):
Best comic moment of the episode is it's the Ninja's
versus Professor Chaos having this battle. They come out with
these powers on the fly. Finally Shuriken gets thrown all
of a sudden.

Speaker 1 (25:15):
Because all of them snap backed reality. Holy shit, he's
got a ninja star in his eye. The poor kid,
as a viewer, you sort of because it's it's anime,
you don't really buy this as real violence. Yeah, oh yeah, absolutely,
that's a really great way of putting it. And you're like,
oh shit, puts a genuine ninja star in his eye.
For me, My favor moment was that there because it's
the kids realization, oh we fucked up. Oh yeah, did

(25:37):
you ever have that when playing a kid that you
know it's always Usually the younger brother ends up getting
hurt and you're like, oh, you'll be okay, you'll be okay.
I'm missing an arm, You'll be okay. Don't tell anyone.

Speaker 4 (25:48):
When I was at primary school, this is showing my age,
but also how lax we were when it came to
childhood safety in the in the nineteen seventies, we had
like a big like a fort, you know, I mean
they'd have them in playgrounds something, and they still do
to some degree, but this was just a death trap.
And it had this incredible, incredibly high sort of platform

(26:12):
that had no sort of fencing or security around it
at all, and like there was a a pole hanging
over the top of it that you could just sort
of hang over, and it was a huge drop to
the ground.

Speaker 1 (26:24):
But if you're talking like a six, seven, eight year
old child, it's pretty it's a pretty big drop. I've
seen some playgrounds from the Gelnging area from the sixties
and seventies. Is one. It used to be when we
done used to be a giant slide. Oh yeah, And
you're like, how the fuck did no one die on this? Oh?

Speaker 4 (26:38):
Absolutely, or at the very least it looks like one
of those things where we're doing a very Geelong secondcy.
But Lou was driving the Melbourne the other day and
was that day when the metal plating came out of
the out of the road. Oh, as a result, there
was like some steel some little steel pipes came up
and a truck round doing it fucked up its tires.

(26:58):
There was a crashes old and like it was like
a twelve thing pilot but I know anyone died, but
just you know, and there was a little peak hour
traffic as well. I'm just imagining that that slide had
to do something that at some stage where you know,
it's all these metal bits put together.

Speaker 1 (27:13):
And just a little bit tiny it comes up. Imagine
you're sliding, then you just get your fucking skin peep. Yeah. God,
we used to have the giant slides at water World.
It's just now gone. It's now Then was Northern another
one you're talking quite etcenta or whatever, which they built
for the Commonwealth Games, which never happened. Anyway, they dared
to dream Geelong. They used to have these two giant
slides there and there was always this myth that went around.

(27:35):
It's never actually happened. But like you know one time
because the blue slide didn't have a roof and the
yellow one did, right, I used to go down slower
on the blue one. They go one time, this one
kuld put razor bleeds in the gap. No one ever
went down to blue slide after that. It was like,
I don't go down the blue slide. It could be razorbleans.
And I remember one time I went down it with
my Matepence. Let's do it. The whole time I'm like, no, No,

(27:59):
someone made up this story. Everyone is believed the true thing.

Speaker 4 (28:01):
You're probably going out so quickly you wouldn't feel it,
and then all of a sudden you hit the pools,
like why is this.

Speaker 1 (28:04):
Water all red? Oh no, it's me. Oh I'm in
three pieces. You got Final Destination. Still haven't seen number
six yet. I watched the other night.

Speaker 4 (28:14):
Yeah good, pretty pretty fun, actually good and gory in
the way that those movies are ingenious and the way
those movies are.

Speaker 1 (28:21):
I saw one screenshot and I was like, oh shit,
don't spoil anything. I'm not going to spoil it. I'm
about to make a suggestion. Okay that so don't get
that look at your face. You're like, while I say this,
and I'm like, don't I learned? I learned, Yeah, last
of us. That was my lesson our Powellin and Moulton.

(28:44):
We are sending him all the best. Yes, I hope
you feel well soon. Yeah, buddy, while he's on the
road to recovery. Maybe I should just do a solo
episode about Final Destination. Oh yeah, he would really appreciate that.
Then he doesn't have to talk, he doesn't have to
watch it. Why not. Maybe? Yeah.

Speaker 4 (29:00):
Anyway, we're just coming up with stuff on the fly here.
But yeah, I'm trying to recall any incident from our
childhood where that kind of happened, where it's like, oh,
well having fun and oh what an adventurous game we're having.
Oh no, someone fell over and broke their leg, or ah,
that tooth was in your head before and now it's not.

Speaker 1 (29:15):
Usually involved trampolines. When I was a kid, and there
was one time or double bounce, you know, double bouncy
is on a trampoline. I've been on a tromopolon Crack
the Egg, the game where you hold your legs and
you try and double bounce the kids. So I don't know,
so kid brings their knee to their chest, put their
arms so I was like an egg like a ball,
and you got double bounce them to the point where
they crack their arms come off so they can't hold

(29:37):
themselves together anymore. Wow. Remember we did this once to
my friend Nick's little brother. His name is poor Little
Brothers Savior. We double bounced him so high right and
went strapped the air and each corner has had a
little hole. It went straight down it because he's because
he was like, you know when a divers, they bring
their knees. So I'm trying to show you what. So
he's like this, you know what I mean. Yeah, So

(29:57):
his legs are straight up and he's sort of holding
it like a perfec like a diver. He's doing the pike.
Yeah yeah, and he goes straight down fudd And we're
just like, We're like, ship have killed him because it
was one of those ones where you couldn't see undert
because you had the fence around the side and you
could see them the slide and you just disappeared. We

(30:18):
just had this thud. You look at trampolines these days
and they are so remarkably safe. I know, I'm looking,
I'm like, that's back right, ah, springs sticking up. Everyone
the springs would break it and be sticking up. It
was like, just don't jump on that side of the
trampoline because you might cut your eye out. You'd be fine,
just don't do it, be right, stay out of that quandring.

Speaker 4 (30:39):
I'm not going to say whole things were better back then,
but it was kind of the fun of not taking
your life in your hands. But it's like, you know,
at a little bit of risk. It's like riding a
rollercoaster or something like that. There's always a chance that
things could literally.

Speaker 1 (30:51):
Go off the rails. Yeah, yeah, Or I would always
jump over the middle bars and not touch the bus
because you always get the zap when you touch the
metal bars. But now you look at trampolines and they're
like you have seen octagons. They got fucking walls on
them and stuff, and you're gonna unzip the get in
and now I'm just like, just what the hell happened?

Speaker 4 (31:08):
But yeah, that's what I think this episode conveys really
well with that, with that moment. Yeah, it's all fun
and games. It's literally fun and games until someone loses
an eye. That's that's the old saying.

Speaker 1 (31:18):
But as kids though, they don't see the danger in it.
They're like, oh, we just look super cool. Well, no,
we don't think of what could happen.

Speaker 4 (31:25):
To borrow a phrase that Parker andsoon will eventually use
someone down alone, they're in imagination land, deep in imagination
land where everything's fun.

Speaker 1 (31:34):
Wait a minute, Oh, we're being a parent is watching
your kids and constantly trying to be three steps ahead
to go. All right, they're running down the hallway. What
obstacles are they going to run into? Okay, Holly's known
to running into a wall. You know, she just runs
into anything. So I'm just like, stop running. But it's
like I don't want to stop if you guys from
having fun. Yeah, but for God's sake, do it safe.

(31:54):
For somehow, I've got to mitigate risk. Yeah.

Speaker 4 (31:57):
I imagine that parenthood is a lot of just walking again,
walk in that fine line of like, don't discourage them,
don't wrap them in cotton wool or anything like that.
At the same time, don't go don't have so much
fun that you end up, yeah, running headfirst into a
wall or running through a play class window or whatever.

Speaker 1 (32:15):
Because my mentality I do buy into the hole. Well,
they're going to learn somehow right, they won't do it again, yes,
but when they do do it, you're not the one
has to sit there for an hour while they're going.
They go to this head and it's like spot five
of the Spot five of the spotfire Man, limit the spotfires.
But with kids, though, I will give this one bit
of parenting advice. It drives me insane when I'm at

(32:36):
a playground and a kid just falls over on the bark, right,
they're fine, but the parents run over and go, are
you okay? The kids fine until you ask them, then
oh yeah, just tell them get up, you're okay. If
they actually hurt, help them. If they're not, just but
you're fine, you're fine. Rush it off, keep going, Holly,
nothing hurts her anymore. Like if she cries, I now
know she must be hurt. That's right. Don't like you said,

(32:56):
wrap up and cotton more. Don't ask if they're okay.
You can tell them they're okay or not. If they
look okay, tell them they're fucking okay. Keep playing precisely right,
that's okay. Remember there are no stupid questions, just stupid people.
Trivia time. My first question for you mister Davis, is
how much were Cartman's kill A sigh? Were they twenty

(33:18):
five dollars? No, there were nineteen dollars and five cents?
Not in five? Yeah, interesting, I thought, what's the five cents?
Fll of geez no gs, he died a tax whatever?

Speaker 4 (33:26):
Maybe except there's the thing about America, and now American
friends will know this. Hello to American friends. You go
to the supermarket, you go to the store, you pick
something off the shelf. It's like, oh cool, it's three dollars,
and you get Then you get to the camera, it's like, oh,
that's three seventy five.

Speaker 1 (33:41):
Got me all the timer I've been just before honeymoon.
I'm like, ah, you don't include taxing the price. That's
really annoying. Maybe I'll be yeah.

Speaker 4 (33:49):
So, uh, I don't know why it's nineteen oh five,
but it is nineteen oh five according to you.

Speaker 1 (33:54):
So I got that one wrong. Maybe you'll get this
one right. Though. What is the name of the stall
that is selling those weather I was going to go
back and Steve someone right, No, ship, why do think Steve? Anyway, continue, Well,
you mentioned Captain America before. The guy's name is not
Steve but it is Roger's Edge. And what's Captain America's name? Ah,
Steve Rogers. There we go, There we go. That's I

(34:15):
drew a long bow there, but you made it work.
Your next question for me, what is Clyde's anime name?
He did you worry it? Oh? God, damn the thing?
It is a Muppet name with one letter changed out
one vowel replaced it with another. Think of everyone's favorite Muppet,
the weird random always doing crazy Ship Muppet, Gonzo the Great. Oh, okay,

(34:40):
is it okay? Because I was first I was thinking
Beaker and I was singing Animal and I was singing Fozzy. Yeah,
there's a lot of good Muppets everybody else, So it's
Ginzo Ginzo Okay?

Speaker 4 (34:52):
Then yeah, I didn't. I didn't write down any of
the of the engine names, unfortunately. But here's something I
did write down. How many times has the Dead Parents
Ruse worked?

Speaker 1 (35:00):
Times? Twelve times? There's so many layers to that gag,
which we'll get to when we do in the run through.
I'd love that bit. What is token superpower? Black Chack?
Who's superpower? Yeah? That's correct, No, I don't know. Tell
me the power of perfect spelling. It seems like something
token would be good. He seems pretty intelligent with it,
doesn't he He doesn't. You're right.

Speaker 4 (35:21):
My next question for you is at the auction they're
selling auctioning off a lamp. Yeah, it is from the
estate of whom I had no idea.

Speaker 1 (35:30):
Who is it? Edna and James Hollinger? Okay? Was it
starting at three fifty? Who knows? I think they need
about three fitty. I think it was value. Yeah, it
was value to two thousand. Yeah, that's a nice little
in juger. Are they starting at three fitty? I think
three seventy? I have no idea. I didn't say three.
Let's get to do some cheese pep shade shall before
we get to our run through any questions? No, no, no, no,

(35:52):
I had one more.

Speaker 4 (35:53):
But at the auction, yes, you can see that there
is a pizza stall behind the auction stage.

Speaker 1 (36:02):
What is it called? Is it racist? No? No rhymes?
It's the nice slates Nice Slice. That is very PG
for South Park, A nice slice. I would go get
a pizza, pizza, a slice of pizza.

Speaker 4 (36:15):
Someone say, yeah, I'm amazed that that. I'm sure there
must be a pizza place called Slice.

Speaker 1 (36:20):
Of Heaven have to be. They would be, wouldn't they
Pizza Haven? Did they ever have a Slice of Haven
thing going on with Pizza Haven? I do, but not
all that well. I would just dug you the Pizza Boy,
that's it? Or Pizza Hut, Pizza Hazzat's Pizza Hut? Was he? Yeah, Dougy,
the Pizza Boys? Pizza Haven anyway. I only vaguely remember
Pizza Haven. I just thought that's not a great name.

(36:41):
I remember seeing Pizza Haven. Go. That's not Pizza Hart.
Pizza Hut's a good name for a pizza place. Pizza Haven.
I don't know Pizza Haven anyway. When do they go?
I reckon they went out of business in two thousand
and three. When do you reckon they went out of business?
Pizza Haven two thousand and six. I'm gonna say all right,
Pizza Haven. Astrolo was in a New Zealand pizza restaurant
chain and franchise founder in eighty four, Pizza Haven't evolved

(37:04):
into a mid sized franchise business approximate one hundred and
eighty outs by the year two thousand. In two thousand
and five, the New Zealand Pizza Haven stores were brought
by Oh, they got brought out by Dominoes. In two
thousand and eight, the Australian ones were brought out by
Eagle Boys Pizza No one likes boys. Look now, the

(37:25):
fact that I know they ruined Pizza Haven, I like
them even less. Are you sure dougging the Pizza boys
Pizza Hut? By the way, do you googling? You're ninety
five percent right when he comes to this, dear mid
hundred Lake, that's correct, the brother of one of the
members of girl group Girlfriend. Really, he was on water
Rats as well a Mcloud's daughters. Yeah, he had a

(37:45):
little bit of a career and the belly he was
there for all to the rafters. He's probably some on
real estate now cars. Why is there no mention of
Doggie the pizza boy? Oh yeah, he was Pizza Hut commercials.
You're right, well, Plazza, thank you for my memory is
always Pizza Haven. I know why I thought that, but
I'm glad that I now has been backed to fine. No,

bit and deservedly so. But one of the first things
that came up when I was looking on Facebook the
Book of Face, the Book of Face, was Zach Prewitt.
He's got a show under the four Finger discount banner.

(39:29):
He has indeed, yeh Saturday and I dive where he's
covering SNL.

So he thought it was slacking off, but no, I'm working.
I'm working too. You never slacking off. That's just a bit.
That's the stick. It's the stick, all right. Good Times

(39:56):
with Weapons the original air It was March seventeenth, two
thousand and four, the number one film at the US
box office On March seventeenth, two thousand and four was
the Passion of the Christ. Wow, there we go. Yeah, oh,
training that just just topical. Here's the pulse, here's their
finger two great taste, the taste great together. You cannot
get them off that pulse. Secret Window was number two,
and Starsky and Hutch was number three. Secret Web, Sorry,

(40:18):
secret weapon, much better title if Mal Gibson was in it,
that's what it would have been. What was the third one? Again? Sorry?
Starsky Hutch Uskin Hutch. That was all right too, Yeah
it was okay, I seek a window. I remember just
being pleasantly surprised by it. Yeah, Johnny Depp before he
went off the rail. Correct, Yeah, he's got a bit

(40:39):
of a twist, Yes, a bit of a twist at
the end, sucre window checking it out if you haven't already.
But yes, they were the top three films at the
US box office when this aired. Obviously, this episode was
written and directed by one Trey Parker. Now, the episode
kicks off with what mister Davis, can you remember? Uh, Well,
they're walking to well, they're at the of the fair
at the Fair County Fair and Cartman has those little
I know they called popping things. Yeah, I thought they

(41:01):
were like fire crackers, but clearly they're not not real
fire crackers. There's ones that kind of like caps you know,
oh yeah, like you throw the on the ground and
make a popping sound. It sounds like someone's shitting a
cap gun. That's really and he's really annoying Kyle. Yeah,
that's sort of the recurring story thread here. Wasn't it
that Cartman even got superpowers? He's going to use them
against Kyle the yeah really pissy, irritating ways. Yes, so

(41:24):
he's annoying him and then discover the Rogers Edge Rogers
or Edge, yeah, which has weapons or martialized weapons of
the Far East.

Speaker 4 (41:34):
Do you go to many sort of like markets, you know,
like in Geelong we have the night Jar market during
summer when you know that we oh, here's my tired
eyed t shirts or here are my homemade candles or
something like that.

Speaker 1 (41:45):
I don't go to the night Jar ones all often.
I just have this nostalgia for going to the Sunday
market occasion, like maybe once every six months, we just go,
like Sunday morning, nine ten am, let's just go to
the Sunday market. Yeh, go get a hot jam donut?

Speaker 4 (41:57):
Yeah, got a nice bacon and egg roll or something
like that and just have a bit of a brows around.
It's like this is not going to add any value
to my life anyway, but I'm still going to throw
down maybe fifteen dollars for this bees wax candle.

Speaker 1 (42:09):
What I do is I give the kids tab bus
and you're ten bucks to spend it, and they can
always get a budget crazy shit. At the Sunday it's
usually women just selling their kids toys and stuff.

Speaker 4 (42:18):
Again, one of my fond memory from when I was
a younger person, and I don't know why this is
especially fond for me, but I had a bit of
money in my wallet, not a huge amount, but this
was this was a time when a little bit of
money went a long way, and I didn't spend it
on any one thing in particular. I was just like
in a shopping center and I think I just got
like a badge, like a Rolling Stones badge, for like

(42:42):
two dollars, and then I got something else for five
and I think I probably had like twenty twenty five
bucks in my pocket, like I don't need to save this,
I can spend this on anything I want, and I
just got a bunch of just dumb Shitah, but I felt.

Speaker 1 (42:55):
Like, look at all my stuff. It's like in Hollywohoen
they go to the time Z gift stuff that I've
spent five hundred dollars on, like gift cards. Would you
like this little plush toy for a thousand tickets? Next thing?
You know, it is a cornerstone of your memory.

Speaker 4 (43:13):
Yeah, I think I've got like a like a mug
or something like a novelty mug that had like a
exactly what it was on, like a monkey or something.

Speaker 1 (43:21):
Yeah, still happen to this day. I do enjoy guilt
free spending because when you know, do you get the
more guilty, you think, well, this money could be better
spent on bills and whatnot. But sometimes it's like, you
know what, I'm going to go shopping. I'm gonna treat myself.
I don't give a shit what I buy that I'm
going to buy something. Oh yeah, absolutely.

Speaker 4 (43:37):
A lot of not a lot of talk that Lu
and Ivory when it's kind of like we got to
put something in the soup. That's your four O one
K for our American friends, but yeah, your retirement saving
and said, I've gotta put that in souper or I
should put that aside for your home. Reynolds like, I'd
like to eat this week.

Speaker 1 (43:53):
Yeah that's eggs.

Speaker 4 (43:57):
Yeah, just to have, like not a huge amount out,
but just like, yeah, what this fifty bucks, I'm just
gonna go buy some dumb shit.

Speaker 1 (44:06):
I put ten bucks away each week, and when it
comes to Christmas time, I just buy myself something nice
for Christmas that it's just you know, not for Christmas,
but I go, I'm just gonna buy something cool for me,
five hundred bucks. It's mine. And sometimes I carried over
for a couple of years and I'm like, I'll go
a thousand dollars now I'm gonna buy something even cooler,
good for you. Yeah, look at you, fancy pants. Putting

buy a weapon because affordable. Even Kenny get afford one.
I think it was the Ninja Star dollar nine each.
I think they were. I think so. Yes, Yeah, Stan
gets the tonfas can't begets to kill a sigh and

(45:11):
the shurricane starts. Yes, Dolarne Steve Steve, I know why,
said Steve? Roger Roger not Steve. Maybe his name is Steve,
but his place is called Roger's Edge. Maybe Okay. Anyway,
the worker says that I can't say these weapons without
your parents' permission. Par It's okay, Well, what's the matter.

(45:35):
We're brothers, see and our parents died in a car
accident last year. Wha if you an it's all right, boys,

(45:55):
don't cry. I'll just go back these up for you. Okay.
God damn, that's like the twelve time. That's what I
love this because it's funny the first time, because you think,
oh my god, these kids are so quick on their feet.
They can read each other's cues. And roll with it
and get what they want. But then when he says that,
it's like, you know what, this is their stick that
they've had going. And it's so great that there's some

(46:16):
things in life that you just don't question. Right, I've
mentioned on this podcast before. You get those people at
the supermarkets, all that the malls where they're trying to
sell you something. They got little booths in the middle
of the walkway. You try to avoid them. If you've
got a kid, that's just like just shit themselves. They
never questioned, They go, you go, do you buddy? There's
some things in life, like parents dying. This guy's like, okay, okay,

(46:37):
that's it, finish. I just love the somethings in life.
Let's change the subject. You you just don't question. And
that was this was an example of that shit and
death further too, Yeah, exactly. So the boys are now
all playing ninja's in the in the basement. Stan becomes Shadowhachi,
born to fight evil and people I don't like. Kylo's Bunkaru,
a deadly bit compassionate ninja who protects those in trouble.
Kenny is somebody looks like Raydon from Water Combat. That's true. Yeah,

(47:02):
And I like that he's got the thing covering his mouth. Yes, exactly, yeap,
and Cartman his bullog, a tough brute ninja who has
dedicated his life to eradicating the world from hippies hippies,
and I've just got Yeah. I just love the fact
that each character is so true to the actual character
and stuff. They could have got a different route of
the kids. Sometimes you won't be something you're not, so
your imagination used to be use it to be something

(47:22):
you're not. But they didn't hear, here's the thing. It
wouldn't have worked as good. Though we are talking about, oh,
the limitness and riches of childhood imagination, it's not necessarily
that rich. I think you're gonna take existing qualities within
yourself and stuff that you've borrowed from the culture that
you've ingested and do a little bit of a mash up.
But I don't think you're Yeah, I don't think it's

(47:44):
going to be Oh, I'm so completely different and unusual
and wild. Now it's more like I've turned the doll
maybe three degrees. There's a lot of me in this character,
and there's also a lot of Han Solo. Plus it
also wouldn't have worked because visually we need to be
able to still tell who's who. That's correct. Yes, yeah,
so the boys that will go to be Ninja's can't

(48:05):
suggest they go show Clyde or was it Clyde, No, Craig,
show Craig. Yeah, but Kyle warries, well, we tell Craig,
you'll tell her parents that their parents will find out
that we've been using weapons. You see, guys, this is
why Jews can't be nigga's. They've got no spaine.

Speaker 2 (48:18):
You don't know anything about.

Speaker 1 (48:20):
Oh yeah, my mom took me to see. Now gives
this movie with the passion and now gives and says
you I snags and you are liars and if the
Road Warrior says it, it must be true. Incredibly racist,
that's all. Mel gives this movie with the passion? Did
anyone actually call it the passion? It was always the
passion of the Christ? Was the passion of the Christ? Yeah?
The passion? But I think it was initially called the passion?
Was it really? And then I don't think? Yeah, there

(48:42):
aren't enough sort of the passion of what yeah, what
gives it? What? Yeah? Not many?

Speaker 4 (48:48):
Not enough people sort of recognize the passion is like
the passion play of the whole recreation of the Crucifixion,
that kind of stuff, So.

Speaker 1 (48:55):
We better put the word Christ in there, just in case.
But they arrive at the residents that belongs to the
one called Craig, and I just love they did such
a good job of making every piece of dialogue anime
esque as possible, true, right, and the residents that belongs
to the one called Craig. And the best thing is
then the switching back to real life, because I love
the first time we see it. Yeah, I love where'd

(49:16):
you get those? Which you would be asking, I think,
I mean whenever you saw a kid with a cool
toy or a cool piece of new tech or whatever,
it's like, where'd you get that? Where'd you get it from?
And how much does that cost? All those kind of stuff,
because you know you want one for yourself. Because Crag's
trying to play it off like they're not that cool. Yes, sure, Craig,
they're not that cool. Then token in clider there as well,

(49:38):
and they come out and they just in the air.
We got these you haven't they leave, But you're right,
this is the first time we see the real world
visuals since they've become anime, and it's like, oh, yes, okay,
so the whole is not going to be this. It's
just this is what the kids are seeing in their imagination,
this is what the real world is seeing, and it
plays up it pays off a little bit later, so
they come across Butters, who wants to join him, but
they say he can't because he wouldn't make it very

(49:59):
good Ninja, but as goes home, it's he's his origin story.

Speaker 4 (50:02):
Well, yeah, because he's a lost soul. He's a dark,
lonely shadow of person he is.

Speaker 1 (50:06):
Indeed, Yeah, I love that. As he's saying all this,
his mom's like, hey, Butters, and he gets his costume out.
He's Professor Chaos and the design is bad ass Professor
Chaos in anime form.

Speaker 4 (50:19):
Oh, in anime form, absolutely, I think, Yeah, I can
live without Professor Chaos. I think it's kind of one
note and doesn't really work, but it works. Yeah, it
certainly works for the Yeah, for the purposes of this story. Yeah,
did you ever like a friend who would play super
villain as opposed to superhero?

Speaker 1 (50:34):
I always loved being the bad guy. That's the thing
I'm wondering if you know, with Elliott's friends, if they're
all like, I want to be Hulk, I want to
be iron Man. It was like, I'm Magneto, I'm Fanos. Well,
Elliot wants to be Red Hulk.

Speaker 4 (50:45):
Oh okay, because he did he watch the thoroughly mediocre
Captain America Bradney World.

Speaker 1 (50:50):
It reads his favorite color. Okay, Red Hulk's the villain, right,
he's more misunderstood. Okay, yeah, well I've always thought Red
Red Hulk's the bad guy. He's like, I want to
be the best. I want to be Red Hulk, and
I'm like, yeah, okay, cool, go to a kid.

Speaker 4 (51:04):
I mean to bring things back to Star Wars, I'm
trying to remember if anyone ever wanted to play Darth Vader.

Speaker 1 (51:08):
We were all like, you know, I'm pretty Yeah. Well
I've heard that it's everyone wanted to be Luke or
Hard Oh yeah yeah, but I feel like we either
want to be Obi one. No, I want to be Hard. Yeah,
I as a kid would always want to be the
bad guy. Yeah, I wanted to be I wouldn't want
to be Vader. I reckon, I want to be Graham
Off Dark And who's who's the marvel villain at Fatos.

(51:29):
Maybe he seems like the big baddy, doesn't he. Yeah,
it's funny. I was watching this video last night.

Speaker 4 (51:34):
They were talking about the ben Affleck, a Daredevil movie
and talking about how you know Kingpin.

Speaker 1 (51:40):
Used to be a with your favorite bullseye.

Speaker 4 (51:42):
Yeah, well but Kingpin was like a it's like a
side villain with a spider Man, but also regardles a
bit of a joke. It's like, oh, it's this big,
fat guy who's got like no crime. It's like good
lat mobster, like getting out of their chair tabo. And
then when they this guy Frank Meller took over the
Dared Devil Colls and reinvented Kingpins like Dared Devil's main adversary.

(52:05):
Like yeah, he's a big guy, but he's like a
sumo or he's like again, who I mentioned the great
Asian actor Slash markis martial artist Sammo hung like a
big dude but also incredibly agile and fast and strong
as fuck. And that's what they turned care fuck yeah,
and that's what they turned the Kingpin into. It's like, yeah,
but it's such a great name, king king for a

(52:27):
villain dope. But yeah, I don't know there's one like
Overarching Marvel bad guy. I think you've got various ones
for various characters.

Speaker 1 (52:37):
I think for kids, though, it's it's that now because
of the movies.

Speaker 4 (52:39):
Now, because of this, it's going to be Doctor Doom
and the New Avengers one plus Fantastic four.

Speaker 1 (52:44):
How well that goes? We're not sure I really care?
Do we really care anymore?

Speaker 4 (52:49):
Yeah, Galactus in the Fantastic Four movies. Yeah, there's all manner. Yeah,
I guess right now it's stand us because of the movies.

Speaker 1 (52:55):
Kids also liking Bowser because of the movie, because from Mario.
Kids like Mario, but I think the movie made Bowser
them like a real cool villain, even though they sort
of took out of him in the movie. But anyway,
but the butter starts walking out thinking he's huge, thinking
he's big, Professor Chaos, but he's mother, then asking to
take the pipe to the Thompsons for baby sitting him

(53:15):
last week, And I just thought, this is a really
nice little in universe thread here that makes the show
feel like it's a real town. Sure take this part
to the Thompsons last week, standing thinks they're heading in
the wrong direction. So Kyle uses his power to see
into the future but can't says he can he can
do it better than Kyle. I also have a new power.
I can see in the future better than.

Speaker 4 (53:36):
You.

Speaker 1 (53:36):
Can't have more than one. I am bull and I
have lots of powers. You can only have one. It's like, okay,
Paris all the powers. I love that childhood sort of
like guess what I've gained the system. Yeah, there's nothing
you can say will stop me. Oh okay, I've got
three wishes. My third wish is from meham My wishes.

(53:56):
You think he announced about the genie. Come on, I
learned the Ladin I have to establis at the start.
Wishes can't be this. You can't wish from always been
some dickhead out there. There's tried it. Someone didn't read
the terms and conditions. Yeah, Professor Chaos. Then arrives Craig,
is that you and they have a classic anime battle,
which actually reminded me a lot of Pokemon battles more

(54:17):
than Dragon Ball Z battle. Just that I'm using this
power bit ba. I'm going to take your word for it,
but you were illustrated very well just then. So good
for you. But Butter's saying says that like certain powers
don't work, and because I think he's Cape Titanic or something,
that's bullshit, just trying to cheat the system. But then
that's also I'm sort of flip flopping here. Dungeons and

(54:38):
Dragons almost, isn't it.

Speaker 4 (54:39):
I'm flip flopping here a bit, saying kids, imagination isn't
that great. But at the same time, if you can
come up with things on the fly like that, it
was like, guess what, your assault didn't work on.

Speaker 1 (54:47):
Me because of this, Like you just came up with that.
Not bad? Well don you Okay, I'll pay it. There
was a while there when I was a kid where
you know, you do rock paper scissors, right, it looked
like that as well. Yeah, but you did rock paper scissors.
But sometimes come up with fist and you're like, what's that? Like,
that's dynamite. I blew it up and it's like, oh, well,

(55:08):
I take your dynamite and I do this. It's like
it's water, it puts out the fuels. The dynamite it's
created on these rock papers has just become like the
evolution of rock papercissors. Yeah, that's when I was a kid.
I remember, I remember when it happened. Michael Meade is
like dynamite. Everyone's like, oh shit, nothing mis dynamite. And
then the kid was like water to put out the fuse.

(55:30):
Everyone's like, damn, it's a bucket full of water. They
just changed the game. You just make up new ship.
That's the video of using your imagination. Man, it's good.
But Cartman tries to use his power, but unfortunately Kyle
has taken his powers away and he gets them back,
he turns him into a chicken. Just Cartman and Kyle

(55:52):
will never be able to co exist ever. Oh no, no,
and you're mentioning earlier here, how Kyle's got his nun Chucks,
the icy blast one nun chucking. None of this ship
makes sense. Oh no, but in the world of imagination,
anything can happen. It doesn't matter. You just run with it.
Oh yeah, yeah, I mean none Chucks are just for
bashing people over the head. Yeah but Nolangelo style. Oh yeah,
but they actually they should a nice arctic blast. Fantastic.

(56:14):
We have Professor Chaos here saying I've grown weary of
your foolishness. Right, I thought this would be a perfect
place for them to slide in a sanction your buffoonery.
I would have appreciated it. But then Kenny uses the
Ninja star and it gets stuck in Butter's eye and
just the the transition to real world, it's like, oh shit,
this kid's got a ninja star.

Speaker 4 (56:36):
Before we get to that, there's just two bits. Yeah,
two dialogue exchanges in this.

Speaker 1 (56:42):
I like, I forgot.

Speaker 4 (56:43):
I think it's Carmon's looks like we've got a sworn
enemy gas. Oh great, we've set up the bought in,
We've set up in universe Cannon. That's that's fantastic.

Speaker 1 (56:51):
Yeah, and again I think this sounds like a Carpon line.
All right, Dickle time a pair, just great Parker line delivery,
which is pair. It's so tough. But the Butters has
the nigja start in his eye and they're all panicking
now because AI concerned for Butters, but be they're also
concerned we're in trouble. Oh no, you're more You're always

(57:13):
more concerned for yourself.

Speaker 4 (57:14):
Yeah, exactly, if we're doing if we're playing the numbers here,
if were crunching the numbers, it'sually ten to fifteen percent
of like, oh, God, I hope that kid's legs not
fucked up for good, but as well, how much flak
am I going to catch? Yeah, but you know, even
being in the periphery of.

Speaker 1 (57:30):
This shit, it need to at least make the kid
think that you're concerned for them. Oh yeah, so they'll
dub on you ud okay, yeah, run, we're gonna help yeah, yeah, yeah,
yeah run. But it can't suggests we need to kill
and bury him, and even Kyle agrees. Kyle's like, you're
not gonna happen to my mom finds out the way
you were using weapons. He's very much a scaredy cat. Yeah,
we come out from commercial and standards trying to yank

(57:51):
out at the ninja start and it's gross. Oh yeah,
anything with eyes just not for me. But Kyle says,
stop all your scramble. His brain can't says that might
be good because it might make him forget that it
was them. Then Butter's demands to go to a hospital,
and Kyle praise God, can you please help me here,
get us out of the situation. But Katman says it's
time for us to show our ninja or use ninja
reasoning is what he says, we think about what can

(58:14):
we do here, and Stan thinks, ok, we can't go
to a doctor. We can go to a vet because
he's old and he's going blind. So Butter says, Okay, granted,
if I dress up like a dock and go to
the vet, shut up Butters. I hope that I try
and make this catchphrase because i'd be really annoying. Shut
up Butters. Yeah, but Kyle says he needs medical attention.
We have to. We can't just take to a vet.
It needs poplic attention. Stands like, well you take him
and see what your mom says. Cut to them dressing

(58:36):
up like a dog. This was the cutting fur of
a dog. This was such a cliche sitcom cutaway where
it's like, oh, yeah, we can't do that, cut to
them doing that right. But I think this episode is
so I can actually buy that this will be happening
in a real life sitcom minus the anime aspect of
it though, but like kids just using their imagination. It

(58:57):
felt like just the classic sitcom kids, what can we
do together? The situation story, It felt.

Speaker 4 (59:01):
Like the kind of thing you would see on And
I'm not dissing when I say there's like a Disney
Channel show or a Nickelodeon show.

Speaker 1 (59:07):
Yeah yeah, where and the Amanda Bynes show whatever it
was demanded show yeah whatever, Keny Cow.

Speaker 4 (59:13):
But off of those things were good training grounds for
first all. Well, I mean I think they fucked up a.

Speaker 1 (59:18):
Lot of young actors more than they Oh yes, but
you had one or two that sort of you know,
achieved escape velocity in one of the yeah, and went
on to be like on SNL for twenty years. Is
Key the only one that survived? You've got a couple.
I mean, well, Kicky Palmer, you were of Keky Palmer.
She's quite popular, Okay, bitch, she was on like show.

(59:42):
Zendaya was on one of those shows really okay? Yeah, yeah,
I mean there's a there's a few who have zachfron
I guess.

Speaker 4 (59:48):
Ariana Grande was she really? She was on like Sam
and Cat or something like. I've learned all this from
watching that show about how bad youth TV was.

Speaker 1 (59:55):
It's funny how I see people now who are like
twenty five and they're like, I'm so nostalgia for shows
at like two thousand and four, and I'm like, I
was old by that point. I'm like oh, there's are
shows that you grew up on. I'm like, oh, I know,
I am getting old by the time. Man, he's merciless. Yeah,
I'm good. But also the other thing too for me
is they rarely do this kind of cutaway as well,

(01:00:16):
which is why I'm happy to accept it here. Yeah.

Speaker 4 (01:00:17):
Absolutely, what I was trying to say with you, those
shows just provide a great training grounds, but not just
for the people who are on them, but also for
kids watching. It was like, oh, this is a joke
as old as shoes, old as dirt, but it's like
this is the first time they've seen.

Speaker 1 (01:00:33):
It's like, oh, okay, are really glad I didn't see
banana correct correct. So it's like that gag of like,
I'm not doing that. I'm never ever going to do
that cut to them doing that. That's just a four yard.

Speaker 4 (01:00:50):
And it gets used because it works really and when
it's done with either a slight twist or just precision, and.

Speaker 1 (01:01:01):
It still works like a good knock knock joke, physical comedy.
I feel like works a lot for kids. Right. Oh yeah.
I took Elliott and Holly to see The Home alone
with the orchestra, right, and every time Harry got bagged
in the head with something or whatever. Every kid was
just hysterics and all the part's looking about big smiles
on their faces, going this is just nice. But then

(01:01:21):
Butter's he's not having a good time, is he. He's
got socks on his ears. They're shaving, sparking and putting sparks.
A dog, right, yes, yeah, George Clooney was a dog.
So I've been watching it out at the moment. By
the way, nice if we just started it, We've got
Max out and we're like my mom used to love Er,
we should probably just check out R And I'm like,
this is a fucking good show.

Speaker 4 (01:01:37):
Oh god, yeah, one of the biggest Sorry we're going
all over the shop with this episode. But now one
of the biggest new shows of the year is called
The Pit.

Speaker 1 (01:01:44):
You were of the Pit? It's there, yeah, yeah, yeah,
it's John Carter.

Speaker 4 (01:01:48):
Yeah and yeah it's basically No Wiley from R. Yeah,
in like the Clooney roll or the Anthony Edwards roll
for me, but it's you can tell that the people
at HBO Max or whatever it's called now because he
just names everything well.

Speaker 1 (01:02:01):
Like remember people's love ear. Maybe we should just do
that again, and they've done like a variation and everybody
loves the pit it really, it's a lot of people
are watching, go oh, this show is great. What I
like about Er is the good guy doesn't always win.
No people die, kids die, the guy on the We
just watched one where a guy commits suicide. He's a

(01:02:22):
they call him a she mail on the show. He's
obviously nineteen ninety three and ninety four, but as a
guy just up as a woman and he feels like
he couldn't be accepted like John Carter was was his
doctor and he's missing and it is someone on the
roof and he's like, oh shit, goes up there to
time and talk to him, and the guy just kills himself,
just some and you're like, oh, I was expecting him
to save him, but he didn't, because that's usually what happens.
They don't get saved. Yeah. They are very good show,

(01:02:45):
incredibly popular back in the day. Yeah, well, I said
to Nikola, whenever I hear this thing, because you know,
you do skip intro. I never skipped the intro because
that that movie just gets you into the fucking mood, right.
But also I have this nostalgia connection of laying in
bed hearing that music and going someone was watching her
hospital show, yeah, and it was here. I'm just like,
it's mum show. Oh yeah, and you look at it

(01:03:06):
and it's like, oh, Mum used to watch is it
now thirt years later I'm watching it. My kids are
in bed hearing the music. It's the fucking the circle
of life, mate, that's it's got the deal with just
doing a little punch. Yeah, it's at the right time too.
On the music. To quote the wire we used to
make things in this country TV themes don't skip, don't
skip again. They're there for a reason. But as we'll say,

(01:03:32):
but as yet it's not having a good time at
all because Sparky's hair is getting put in. That's where
we got to. It's adding insult to injury literally and
just you really kind of feel bad, well you do
feel bad for but it's not really kind of you do,
because it's the way he's acted here. He's just going
it's not it's not comic on it. It's just it's
this kid. It's misery. This kid has a ninja star

(01:03:54):
in his eye. They stick their gluing, fucking hair to
his body. He's in his ears. He's not having a
good time. They're not taking him to the doctor. No, No,
he's going to a vet. They're making him bark. He's
like and they said, we're going to take him to
the to the vet. Now they're trying to sneak him
into town. Uh. Then they hear someone, so they try

(01:04:14):
to hide in and put him in an old abandoned
oven or something, and turns out to be the other
guys from earlier, Clyde Craig and Token added, oh, Jimmy,
of course, yes, the other boys plus Jimmy, Yes, he's
out as well. And they say they too light about
their parents being dead. And the knife guy gave him
the Openson Cartman's like, oh man, everyone's got weapons. That's
not cool, and they challenge him to a battle, but

(01:04:35):
they don't want to. Stands like, guys, we actually can't.
There's actually something going on right now. We'd love to,
but we can't. We can't do it. But then they
get to the point where they're like, oh, is that
because we're kids are the powerful bleed of the Kintama,
the katana whatever it is, Token his black chacky with
a power of perfect spelling, stand says, look, we're really
not going to be playing you guys. But this is
where Jimmy calls them pussy and Cartman drops the f ware,

(01:04:58):
which we won't say. He's there injas that that u
fs are Butter's because in genuine trouble here stands like,
we can't do this because's like we've got an idiot away,
but stances we need to human them. We have to
pretend for a little bit, just so get the fun
out of the way, because the guys are like, you
can't get past until you defend your honor or something
along those lines. Well, is very big in the Ninja code.

(01:05:19):
It is. Yeah, but it's just an excuse to give
us Let's fighting love, isn't it.

Speaker 4 (01:05:22):
Indeed, this is the part where I give direction to Dando.
You're gotta play Let's fight in love?

Speaker 1 (01:05:26):
Right, maybe.

Speaker 2 (01:05:45):
Let's go.

Speaker 1 (01:05:54):
Fight last fight. What a song to quote the kids,

(01:06:16):
absolute banger. No kid says that the kids should say it.
They used to open nicola for a long time. We
used to say, dude, and I'm like, oh, yeah, don't
do that, don't do that. Oh that's wrong. It's just
the way come on the radio is like dude, I'm like,

(01:06:36):
good song, but don't say don't scream with tune selector.

Bullog whatever his name is. But in their world they're
the anime characters. This is where stand notices the Butterers
has gone missing. I love Clyde. He is just like,
oh shit, the fuck that we're out. A kid's really hurt. Yeah,
we don't want to be part of this, like no, no,

(01:07:39):
it's the ninja code. You're in with us. Now we
need to help. You need to help us find butters.
So we cut the butters wandering around looking for help.
The same guy drives past, sees butters and keeps on driving.
Then the boys are looking for butters when chef arrives
looking awesome but the way that's right. Yes, they asked
if you've seen butterers. He hasn't seen him, and he says,
you need to be cafingable with somebody's eye out. Now.
This reminded me of kids with weapons. Shouldn't have them

(01:08:02):
b B guns right. Oh yeah, there was a kid.
He's and this is the kid that told me about Santa,
by the way, So I just have this deep set
and hatred for this child. But he was the guy
who became friends one of my best friends became friends
with and all of a sudden it felt like I
wasn't cool anymore. And this kid was the new cool
kid because he was the new friend. He was a
naughty kid at school, always getting in trouble. I think

(01:08:22):
my friend just felt cool by being associated with him.
That'll happen, Yes, yeah, so you shot him in the
eye with the BB so but this kid had the
BB gun and I remember being like, I don't think
we should be playing with these guys, and they're like
mocking me, saying, Oh, that'd be a silk, that'd be
was he It's just a b B gun And my
friend got shot square in the eyeball with the BB gun.

(01:08:42):
I couldn't see for like three months. Just I remember
that that moment going what do I do? So in
that moment, the kid of the gun, he ran inside
and locked the door, let us outside. Were in his backyard.
I grabbed my friend, picked him up and ran home
to his house. And I'm like, what a hero Absolutely
that day. I look back now and he still says
to me, he goes with the day he shot me

(01:09:03):
in the eye and you picked me up and carried
me to safe And I was like, yep, just remember
kids with weapons not a good idea. All funny games
until they're not. Nerve exists for a reason if nerves
can fucking hurt you, though I'm sure I can. I
think he wants a NERF gun, but I always say
eight plus on the box, and I'm like, this is
one of those times where I'm going to listen to

(01:09:24):
the advice and go probably a reason for that, I'd
probably wait until Hollies ate something, because this is the thing,
Because Holly is gonna she's always gonna be two and
a half three years younger than Alliott, two and a half,
two and a half year younger than Elliott. There's gonna
be one instance where he just shoots it and accidently
gets her in the eye, and then everyone's gonna be like,
why would you let him use the guns? And I'm like,
it says that little box, yeah, And then then they'll

(01:09:45):
say it says eight plus for a reason because his
friends all have NERF guns, and I'm like, they don't
seem to get hurt, but I just know damn well
that when I buy one, Holly will get hurt. But
did you ever have NERF guns when you were a kid,
would you be b guns? No?

Speaker 4 (01:10:00):
Well, my brother in law, ROSSI had a very nice
BB gun that I would occasionally I set up a
cardboard target in the back.

Speaker 1 (01:10:08):
And the actual weapons it's crazy when you think about it,
It's like, Wow, this putting holes and shit, genuine weapons.

Speaker 4 (01:10:15):
Yeah, But I no, I never had a I don't
think I had a nerf gun. I imagine nerve was
starting to become Well, how long has nerve been around
since the seventies?

Speaker 1 (01:10:24):
Shall I look it up? Why not?

Speaker 4 (01:10:26):
You've got all the world's knowledge right there in front
of you. It feels like a seventies kind of thing.

Speaker 1 (01:10:30):
Earth began in sixty nine. Wow, you were born. That's correct,
guy was born, and so were Nerves. Now owned by
hasbro It was created by Parker Brothers in introduced the
first nerf ball. Trying to when when nerf guns became
a thing, because the slogan was you could throw it indoors,
you can't damage lambs or break windows, go for it. Yeah,
nerf footballs were the very big thing on nerf balls. Well, yeah,

(01:10:54):
you can play in set. It's like no, no, no, no,
don't have to do it's set. But yeah, So Butter's
not having a good time. The boys all looking for
Butter and he says Chef arrived, but then he leaves
because he says, you have to go to the fair
grounds for the big auction. Butlers then arrives at the hospital,

(01:11:15):
but they think it's a dog. Unfortunately, and unfortunately, this
little fella I'm a people doctor, so they call the
animal shelter. And I was going to touch on this
at the start, but we we'll touch it when we
get to it now in the episode, because we haven't
touched at the start, but we come up a commercial
and we get a previously on the show.

Speaker 3 (01:11:34):
You know, last episode the four Ninjas did battle with
Professor Chaos bring up the structure of Doom. It was
doing that great battle the Ninja Master Kenny threw his
start Professor Chaos. I now the Ninjas we're in serious
troubles because their parents 't find out they had weapons,
and Professor Kaos told that while trying to dif Professor
Chaos and the Patarians up, the four Niges ran into
Craig and his three breaks.

Speaker 1 (01:11:52):
They challenged the four NAEs to fight and the legendary
battle of Talking Tawai. It was doing this battle the
Professor Chaos escape.

Speaker 3 (01:11:57):
So the phone nages were both to jointed potus of
Craig and his friends bive Professor house.

Speaker 1 (01:12:01):
They would you just tell trace having so much fun.
But this used to be the thing. So much shit
happens in these shows that you need to recap. Oh yeah, yeah,
except I do have a vivid memory of Cheese TV
used to be the show that aired Dragon ball Z here, right,
and they used to have like week long battles. So
it'd be like Wednesday and the two guys who are

(01:12:22):
fighting on Monday are still having the same battle. Continue
go for the entire week and then have like saragas.
Everything would be in a saga. Right, It's not the
Affinity saga with Marvel, but like you know, the Freezer saga,
and it would get to the end of the saga
and they hadn't made any new episodes yet, so just
go back to the sarga and like you'd be watching it,
going have we seen this shit? But the show was
so fucking popular people just rewashed it. That's right. Back

(01:12:44):
in the day when you didn't have the option, it
was just well, I want to watch dragon ball Z.
This is the end of dragon ball Z that given us,
then that's what you're going to watch. Now kids just
can pick and choose whatever they want whenever they feel
like it. Oh the kids these days, I don't know,
we haven't got it, yeah, but we get the previous
episode runs through exactly what going on. The boys are
still looking for butters, and Kyle says his butters is
probably at the hospital. They need to get rid of

(01:13:05):
the evidence. And this is where we get the standoff
between Cartman and Kyle. Will he do it? Will he not?
Because the Jewish blood won't let him, because something's fifteen dollars,
He will not possible to throw that away because the
boys will suggest, let's not throw it away, let's go
back and get our refunds. And Kyle's like, no, no,
we need to get rid of it now. At the
animal shelter and Butterers is on a leash, the dog's

(01:13:26):
piss and crap on him. I was like, I don't know,
I just felt a little bit too even South bugs
above this now, Yeah, you're shoveling it on a bit much. Yeah,
just I was like, oh that's a bit much. Yeah.
But the nurse and vets say they can't believe that
people treat animals. Well, nothing we can do about. Let's
put the boy to sleep. I got a sweet deal
for you. So this is what I wanted touch on

(01:13:46):
at the start the commentary on animal shelters. So we
got two cats from animal shelters, right, I'd put up
a post on the four figure discount page. Did you
see someone's done a sober shelter cats in the form
of mono rail that's right, yeah, yeah, funny. That was
very goody, very funny indeed. But the thing is I
had people who say, don't take them to the pets

(01:14:07):
to the pound because they'll just put them down. And
I'm like, I went there and there's cats that have
been there for like three years. I'm pretty sure these
guys do a bang up job. Oh god, yeah, I
want to hear a wood against well, certainly gauze. Heah.
They do everything they can to make sure these cats
find homes.

Speaker 4 (01:14:22):
Yeah, the Geelong Animal Welfare Society. Yeah, so yeah, actual
literal saints on Earth angels.

Speaker 1 (01:14:28):
So they go to put Butters down, but unfortunately he's
not there, so oh well, we'll just murt of somebody
else there. The boys then try to return the weapons,
but he says no refunds. And then the other boys
say they saw Butters wandering on the other side of
the fairgrounds, but a fortunately between their men, Butters is
the big auction where all their parents are, so they're
going to figure them away, figure out a way to

(01:14:48):
get two butchers. So Cartman has the idea of using
his power of invincibility. He's well in the zone years, indeed,
so he takes off his clothes and you think for
a second here that from here I'm buying it. I'm like, oh,
he's invisible, and then you get the payoff of him
just slowly walking with his dick out. I died of laughing.

(01:15:09):
I thought this was just so fucking funny, just that
he thinks, because this child thinks he's invisible, and then
there's a moment of realization of oh wait, they're all
looking at me, they can see me. And it's sort
of thing that he gets yelled at by the guy.
That guy's like, keep what the hell are you doing?
Just trying to sell this was a lamp or something,
a lamp, and cart was just on stage with his

(01:15:30):
winder out, and they just drew his wiener. They did, indeed,
John a very big wiener. He's eight years old, after all.
Well true and heavy, said young man. No, no, we
won't go into that big boned, big bone. If there's
more of you around, the wind of the winner can
look a little small, yes, But Butters arrives and everyone

(01:15:50):
just gets angry immediately, and it comets to the town
meeting and you think that this is all going to
be about the fact that the kids had weapons, and
Butter's got you destroyed essentially with it. They just star
in his eye. I know it's the parents, all the
times we're living in but something has to change. That
sums up everything, right. It is very relatable to you

(01:16:10):
as we get a little older. But it's not the
fact that the kids have weapons. It's the fact that
there was nudity on live TV. My daughter say, sorry, naked.
This is the war drope malfunction moment. As we're talking
about Cole can't believe it. Wait a minute, they're not
angry that we had weapons. It stands like, just just
run with the dude. I can't believe it. Yeah. I
guess parents don't give a crap about violence, that there's
sex things to worry about. So I guess this means

(01:16:31):
we gotta keep our weapons. Yeah, come on, we've got
some more work to do. Yeah, let's go. That's the
end of our good times with weapons. Good time had
my all watching this one, that's for sure, absolutely no.
I had had a lot of fun with this. This
is this is like peak South Park in the sense
that it's so topical, it's talking about a subject that's

(01:16:54):
just a forever subject. Yeah, topics, ever green.

Speaker 4 (01:16:57):
The way they springle through it is like, oh but
also yeah gives yeah yeah spring with enough pop cult
references that anime was big at.
