Guys: Episode 144-Nostalgia Guys With Stefan Heck

Speaker 1 Ah, welcome to Guys, the podcast about guys. I'm Brian.
I'm wistfully thinking about my childhood. Hi, Chris.
How are you? Oh, man.

Speaker 1 No worries at all back then.

Speaker 1 Only worry was, when am I going to get to the playground next to have a good slide? Yeah. Nobody paid bills back then.
It was all just beautiful times.

Speaker 1 And the slides were, they were metal and they were hot. Yeah, and they would burn your ass.

Speaker 1 And even if they didn't, even if the heat off the slide didn't burn your ass, it would burn your ass sliding down because you were wearing short shorts. Yeah.
Well, well.

Speaker 1 I will say they still do have some of those hot metal slides.

Speaker 1 Yeah. Oh, yeah.
They're still out there. And yeah, because I've seen most of the playgrounds now are kind of like woke and plastic and stuff.

Speaker 1 It's all made out of style. It's like foam slides.
You know what I mean?

Speaker 1 Remember the big wooden ones that we used to have? Like they were like castles almost?

Speaker 1 You get slivers on them all the time or sliders. I miss having slivers.
I miss having slivers. I love those.

Speaker 1 But Charlie went on one of those slides and it wasn't hot, but it was raining and he had his muddy buddy on. And I was like,

Speaker 1 are you flying? You're going to go pretty fast here, buddy. And he's just like, Let's do this, you know.
And

Speaker 1 he went and he flew off of there, you know, just whipped himself off of there. But

Speaker 1 he got back, he wanted to go again right away. Does he ever try to climb up the metal slide? He does all the time.
He does hide it all day and all night. That's all I really did in the 90s.

Speaker 1 And our guest this week, as you can hear. I heard you did a bunch of other stuff in the 90s, too.
Stephanie, I didn't do anything in the 90s.

Speaker 1 Well,

Speaker 1 I think this is the same thing. All I did in the 90s was good stuff.
I got A's and B's on my report card.

Speaker 1 I honestly thought you said I got AIDS. That's what it's called.

Speaker 1 I'll tell you this. I'll tell you this.

Speaker 1 Now you got me being, I'm not nostalgic. I hated growing up.
I thought it was the shits. Like, I hated, hated.
I wanted to be an adult by the time I was six.

Speaker 1 Like, I was just like, I would have fucking got a job at six and just worked for the rest because I hated it. Well, you started.
I just started like smoking at six, right? Yeah.

Speaker 1 Because that's why I was like, I'm trying to think of it. Yeah, I smoked, started smoking way earlier than him.
I started smoking at eight. Wow.
But I mean,

Speaker 1 I smoked one cigarette in my bedroom. I think it was nine, maybe, actually.

Speaker 1 In your bedroom? I mean, you must have, like, they must have smelled it. Well, I've mentioned this before.

Speaker 1 It was one of those situations where I was so young that I don't think they believed it could possibly be true. So they thought that it was cigarette smoke from outside, you know?

Speaker 1 So I never got caught for it. Yeah.
Well, the story I was going to tell you is like one day I was out hanging out. I don't remember where I was.
I was doing some shit. You know what I mean?

Speaker 1 And I got home

Speaker 1 and we used to play cards on this guy's front porch, on Theo's front porch, actually. Shout out to Theo.
Theo Vaughn. Well, it's not Theo Vaughn, but he did.
He's a guy who came up with Queber.

Speaker 1 Oh, right. Okay, yes.
So anyway, we would go to the next one.

Speaker 1 Oh, by the way, you know, when I joined the call this morning, by the way, Brian was listening to the Queber and the Gris Benny and the Jets parody at like a moment.

Speaker 1 I was trying to clean my soundboard and it pressed the button, and I couldn't figure out how to do it. I just see Brian just kind of like sitting there, like, swaying, listening to the song.

Speaker 1 And you could hear this all the time. Oh, it was loud.
Yeah, you could hear this.

Speaker 1 I made that. That's my

Speaker 1 bad. Thank you.

Speaker 1 So, anyway, we would play Euchar and Spades on Theo's porch and listen to like Lint Biscuit and stuff like that. You know what I mean? By the way, rest in peace.
Sam Rivers, I know,

Speaker 1 wrote some of the best bass lines ever.

Speaker 1 So, anyway, like I got there one night. I might have been at work.
One of the rare times I had a job back then. I got there and they were like, hey, Angie stopped by.
Ex-girlfriend. Uh-oh.

Speaker 1 Had sex with her. Oh, really? She got her.
I got real penis and vagina sex. She told me she got the first one.
She was the first.

Speaker 1 She didn't just get the suckle. She was the first.
Yeah. She certainly got the suckle.
She did get some titty suckle. Oh my gosh.
Which goes without saying.

Speaker 1 She's the one I always tell the story about.

Speaker 1 That's who you lost your virginity to, though? Yes.

Speaker 1 And she's the one I always tell the story about where, like, i would this is so uncomfortable to say because it's like so explicit you know what i mean yeah and it's like a 16 year old trying to be romantic so please don't hold on like i need to do what he saw on tv

Speaker 1 for this okay yeah just doing what he saw on tv but i would i would what were you watching Well, like when you would watch like porno and stuff or

Speaker 1 like HBO stuff, like HBO like late night stuff. You know what I mean? You're watching like, yeah, the real sex or whatever.
Red shoe diaries. Stuff like that.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 1 So Brian became two senior citizens having sex with each other.

Speaker 1 So I'm like, hey,

Speaker 1 you know, what do I do here? I don't know what I'm doing. I had only previously sucked titties.
So I was doing that for like a minute, but I was like, you got to get off these titties.

Speaker 1 In your head, you even knew. You're like, buddy, this is the moment.
You got to get off these titties. You got to stop these titties.
You got to tell me what's going to happen.

Speaker 1 She had told me earlier in the day that we were going to have sex. So I knew that was going to happen, right?

Speaker 1 What was that day like?

Speaker 1 Can you imagine a teenage kid being told he's going to have sex later?

Speaker 1 You must have been the most nervous energy guy in the world for the rest of the day. Everyone who encountered you that day was like, what the fuck is going on with you, man?

Speaker 1 I'm like that now. Yeah.

Speaker 1 So I get in there and we're getting going and I start, you you know, doing that. And then I start to kiss down the stomach thing.
Oh, yeah. Yeah,

Speaker 1 this is, you've told this. Yeah, I've told this.
And I get all the way down close to where you would get, and then I went right back up.

Speaker 1 But this is, I thought that was what the girl who you sucked is. No, no, no.
Well, I did that to her, too. But this one I did, I remember I did it like three times.
So

Speaker 1 this was your move, was to get down

Speaker 1 to see. And then

Speaker 1 you were a bit of a teaser. I was a bit of a pussy.
Wow,

Speaker 1 so anyway, I get home.

Speaker 1 Pussy teased.

Speaker 1 I get back home from work or wherever.

Speaker 1 By the way, it's like 9 a.m.

Speaker 1 This is just like the first thing I do in the day.

Speaker 1 I woke up at, I mean, I got home, and this guy, Nick, was like, Angie stopped by, and I was like, oh, I don't know, what for? You know what I mean? He's like, to tell us that she has AIDS.

Speaker 1 And

Speaker 1 that was Nick's sense of humor.

Speaker 1 Yeah. That was Nick's kind of way of doing a joke.

Speaker 1 That is funny. I mean, listen.

Speaker 1 Did not let up. Nobody told me it was a joke for a while.
Oh, well, yeah. That's amazing.
Like 45 minutes. So that is.
I'm like, I got to go home. I go home and sit in my room.

Speaker 1 I thought headaches. Did you already tell them? Was it like a classic prank where you never even said you had sex with her, but they knew they did?

Speaker 1 No, they knew because it was a big event that day for me as the leader of a group of friends

Speaker 1 in a way it was like all of them had sex also exactly that is kind of the way when you're like a teenager and your friend has sex you kind of feel like we all got in a little bit but yeah yeah so yeah it was a big deal like we went over to my friend sean's house and watched mtv a little bit then we went through the drive-through that's interesting he he was he was watching non

Speaker 1 going to sean's house and watching non-pornographic materials well mtv honestly like might as well be porno sometimes right with what's on there hey good point you don't even do music anymore honestly they you know what that's that brings us back to what we're talking about remember when when mtv used to have actual music on there and remember when much of the music for music because now it stands for now it stands for masturbation i think i think it does yeah so anyway this is from the nostalgia community on red oh my god hey guys remember youtube

Speaker 1 yeah dude i use it no this is this is like but this is going around because they changed the youtube layout again slightly yes and people are like freaking out.

Speaker 1 Yeah, so this is YouTube's first homepage back in 2005. And

Speaker 1 the subject line of this is YouTube's first homepage back in 2005. Better times.

Speaker 1 So, and I wonder if they mean just like this reminds me of 2005, which was better times, or if they actually mean that they enjoyed using the

Speaker 1 first YouTube interface. It's got to be the first thing because the UI and the interface is not good.
It's not good. You wouldn't want to go back to that at all.

Speaker 1 And also, back then, then, you could only upload 10-minute videos. I remember watching like full episodes of South Park.

Speaker 1 You have like an hour. You'd have to watch 10 minutes of it, then another 10 minutes of it, and like one minute.
Oh, yeah, that little one-minute

Speaker 1 video. I remember those little one-minute videos that you'd have to watch if you wanted to.
No one knows what it's like. Gen Z, Gen Alpha.
They don't know what it's like now.

Speaker 1 They don't know what's on the phone. They just watch South Park on their phones.
This guy doesn't know what to do.

Speaker 1 Gen Z trying to cancel MM.

Speaker 1 Oh, hell no.

Speaker 1 I didn't do any MM stuff, and I'm going to tell you why. because the next music-specific episode we do is Eminem guys.
Oh, my God, of course. Like, it's in my mind to do it.

Speaker 1 I'm just waiting for the time because we've done a few recently. Like on Batalica and bass.
Remember that? Remember that's an awfully hot coffee pot when he took down Donald Trump? Oh, shit.

Speaker 1 I remember.

Speaker 1 He needs to do that again. He needs to stop Donald Trump with the power of freestyle rap.
He says he's orange in that, I believe. That was the first time when it was ever noticed.

Speaker 1 He says, and he's orange.

Speaker 1 That was the first time anyone noticed it. Everyone before that was like, well, he looks like a normal kind of, and then everyone's like, wait a second, Eminem might be.

Speaker 1 I watched them being like, why is Eminem in this parking garage? Okay. Yeah, well,

Speaker 1 why is Dennis Leary in this? Why is Dennis Leary in this burned-out building? We just watched.

Speaker 1 They would just put people. So this guy's gritty.
It's gritty. No influencers, no money, just passionately.
Just people having fun.

Speaker 1 Sorry. Can I have a question? Did you know what I was going to say that? Yeah, of course.
I said, I didn't mean a joke. I just said gritty.
Like, it's gritty. Like, it's a gritty.

Speaker 1 You can see the look in my eyes. But I literally looked at Stefan and I was like, well, he's just not going to let that fastball go by.

Speaker 1 And I just knew he wasn't going to be able to stop himself from saying that. Gritty's the number two prominent leftist in the country.
Do you guys know who number one is? You. Yep.
Yep.

Speaker 1 Big time known leftist. I was at the No Kings March.
So anyway, this guy goes back when the comment section was full of insight rather than comedians. Do you remember?

Speaker 1 Well, here, can I push back on that?

Speaker 1 Comedians themselves are full of insight. Yeah.
The way they're They're modern-day truth tellers. Yeah, no, honestly, if you want to get the most insight, you're going to

Speaker 1 want all open mic comedians in your comments. They will tell you what's up.

Speaker 1 It's funny when they say modern-day truth tellers. Like,

Speaker 1 who is the old truth-teller? And in a way, what I'm doing right now, this is truth-telling. This is comedy.
The jester is the old time. Oh, I guess that's true.
With the hat. Yeah.

Speaker 1 When I say jester, I mean the one with the hat. Not the scary one.
Yeah. The scary one.
So this guy goes, there's a jester movie coming out. I don't know if you saw that.
I saw that.

Speaker 1 And I was like, What do you think about the jester? Do you think possibly I've seen that? Or maybe a hundred people sent it to me? I'm sure they have. Yeah.

Speaker 1 Back in the days before Google got their greedy hands on it and turned it into ScrewTube. ScrewTube.
Okay.

Speaker 1 I've never heard of that. I'd sign up for that.
So listen, I'm...

Speaker 1 Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh, yeah, sure.
Yeah, yeah. Screw it.
You're not even allowed to show screwing on YouTube. But I think they mean that they're somehow getting screwed by YouTube.

Speaker 1 And I feel like whenever anyone's complaining about YouTube, it's usually like a lot of times it's like a racist guy who got their comment deleted or something.

Speaker 1 But like, it's weird because if you go to YouTube, like, the algorithm is like famously very

Speaker 1 right-leaning. Very hard to get.
You see some really nasty comments on there. Yeah.
Oh, that's the thing. When he said the comments are full of insight, it's like,

Speaker 1 didn't they have like the N-word in every comment section? You guys were full of worse back then. Yeah.
Yeah, no, I said no. They're not good now.
I guess that they do.

Speaker 1 Maybe what what they're referring to is one thing that is like a lot of copypasta in like the replies of YouTube stuff now, and a lot of, which is really funny to me, but I don't think it's meant in a humorous way.

Speaker 1 But like when you see like, just like a love song or like

Speaker 1 there's like a hundred, every comment is just like my wife was like fucking about to on her deathbed and I used to sing this song to her every night. It's a bunch of weird.

Speaker 1 I don't know why they're doing it. Like it's all they're obviously fake stories.
I don't know what the end game is. I think they just want the engagement or whatever.

Speaker 1 They just want up votes, but I don't, you don't get money for up votes, right? I was listening to the song. This is a comment in the YouTube thing for a song.

Speaker 1 I was listening to the song when I almost ate my girlfriend Angie's pussy, and then I found out she had AIDS.

Speaker 1 Oh, that was Jerry. That was black by Pearl Jam.
Anyway,

Speaker 1 I was on,

Speaker 1 when I went to R Nostalgia, one of the top things was who played with the Ouija board when they were a kid. Now, listen.

Speaker 1 This has to be such a fucking brutal subreddit. Because I was going to say, when I found out, well, first of all, I saw you post on Blue Sky.
I'm doing research for R slash Nostalgia guys.

Speaker 1 And I knew I was coming on this Monday, obviously. I didn't know what the topic was.
And then I saw you say, this is like the most depressing shit I've ever seen. This is so sad.

Speaker 1 Oh, we're not to that yet. Oh, no, I know.
But I was like, I'm sure this is my episode topic. But also, like, it's all of the guys you...
you guys look at are kind of nostalgia guys in a way, right?

Speaker 1 Not like this, man.

Speaker 1 Not in the same, like, I mean, it just,

Speaker 1 it's tough for me because it's like, I got a pretty cool, easy job. You know what I mean? So it is easy for me to say, like, I hated being a kid and I'm having more fun than ever now.
Sure.

Speaker 1 Because I can.

Speaker 1 You know what I mean? I'm a very lucky adult. So I get it.

Speaker 1 But I also just think like, it's sad to sit around and think about when you were a teenager. You know what I mean? Like,

Speaker 1 you get the sadder, the sadder,

Speaker 1 right? It's just really depressing to me to to think of a guy that's like 55 and he's thinking about when he was 14 and just being like, oh, man, what a time that was. Yeah,

Speaker 1 I think that there's like, I think it's good to be nostalgic sometimes, obviously, right?

Speaker 1 I think that there's like having a little bit of that every now and then and being like, oh, man, like seeing something and being like, oh, that reminds me of that time, you know, when I was like 14 years old at the water park.

Speaker 1 Oh, what a nice little like.

Speaker 1 Looking at old photos.

Speaker 1 Exactly. Like having healthy nostalgia.
There's healthy nostalgia, but it's the people who are like pining for that time or whatever, where they're just like, ooh, I want to go back so badly.

Speaker 1 That's where it becomes, where it starts to become sad, I think. This guy goes, I was always too scared as a kid to play along.

Speaker 1 It was in the South during the later years of the Satanic Panic, a culture that thrived on deeply embedded fear of almost everything. But Ouija and his ilk, especially.

Speaker 1 I've still never fooled around with one, but I'm deeply curious and interested. Oh, man,

Speaker 1 an adult adult getting into the Ouija because they weren't able to when they were a young one. Yeah, it's so funny.
He's nostalgic for a thing he didn't do. Yeah.

Speaker 1 I mean, the thing I would be, I remember when one of the greatest grown-up things that happened to me, you guys are going to think this is stupid. One of the best things happened.

Speaker 1 No, we won't.

Speaker 1 One of the best things that let me know I was like actually grown up

Speaker 1 was just sitting on my couch smoking a cigarette.

Speaker 1 Like in my living room on my couch, watching TV, smoking cigarettes. Like that was just the grit.
And I have, you know, obviously that's a bad idea. It's like not good.

Speaker 1 But there was a period of time where I did it and it was just like, oh, this is the life, man. It's fine.
Did you ever do the thing?

Speaker 1 We did in college, we did the classic thing of like putting like cans and bottles up on the mantle throughout the years. Did you do that? Yes.
We had like all the

Speaker 1 liquor bottles that we drank. This guy goes, I would avoid them.
I don't know how, but they work.

Speaker 1 Yeah, I can't explain it, but these are 100%

Speaker 1 demons.

Speaker 1 That guy has that exact opinion about so many things. He thinks that about computers as well, probably.

Speaker 1 He goes, used one at a vacation home with some cousins when we were kids, threw it out shortly after.

Speaker 1 This guy goes, me, my aunt brought one at my grandma's house. Biggest mistake.
We opened a fucking portal, and my grandma's house was never the same. Nothing demonic.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 1 Nothing.

Speaker 1 What do you mean, my grandma's house was never the same? Yeah.

Speaker 1 There's a portal there. One thing.
Yeah,

Speaker 1 don't go into the basement.

Speaker 1 There's a portal down there. There's a pretty significant portal there that we opened up with a Ouija board last summer.

Speaker 1 The rest of the house is fine. The rest of the house is fine.
Every now and then it'll do a little pulsating thing or whatever, but you really just want to see it.

Speaker 1 You can hear the portal, but it does sort of sound like a washing machine.

Speaker 1 because nothing demonic but deceased relatives sure as hell made their presence known i i was only eight years old and seeing random objects move in my grandma's house messed me up you can't pay me enough to play with those boards today

Speaker 1 so we did play with them and i'm going to be honest with you i pushed the thing because

Speaker 1 i figured nobody else was going to do it yeah that's what you that's what you have to do people have raised this point before i think there's a good stand-up bit about it but just the idea that there's this like demonic

Speaker 1 thing you can open a portal to hell or whatever, and it's made by Milton Bradley. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 That's the most believable part, in my opinion. I'm a real conspiracy kind of guy, you know?

Speaker 1 Yeah. This guy goes, it's real.
You call upon spirits and you'll pay the consequences of invoking. It's like opening a portal for any spirit or spirits to enter.
You're asking for trouble.

Speaker 1 And I would highly advise not to mess around with this. If you're interested in pressing your luck, then

Speaker 1 you will experience what it's like to be possibly tortured by an evil spirit. Not worth the risk, in my opinion.

Speaker 1 I would be tortured by an evil spirit. Yeah, I mean, because that seems like the game.
Like, that's the game. You're right.

Speaker 1 It is not worth the risk if that's what's going to happen because it's like, there's not an alternative where you become friends with the demon or right? There's not like a good alternative.

Speaker 1 That's what you're hoping for. Like, if you were playing like Hungry, Hungry Hippos and there was like a 20% chance you were going to burn in hell forever.

Speaker 1 I would probably just play Don't Wake Daddy instead. You know, that's what I would play.

Speaker 1 I mean, listen, I would.

Speaker 1 You guys ever played Loop and Louie? Remember that shit? Never played Loop and Louie. What were the ones I played when, like, the board games? I played Sorry.
Sorry, was great. Sorry was great.

Speaker 1 I played Monopoly. Trouble was funny.
I played Trouble. Trouble.
Trouble was good. Was Trouble the one with the

Speaker 1 Papamatic Bubble? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, we didn't play it there.

Speaker 1 Yeah, it did say Buddle. We didn't play board games, and I specifically remember somebody calling them gay.
So, like, I don't know. That's all gay works.

Speaker 1 And I was was like, what's somebody, can somebody please put together a list of things that my friends called

Speaker 1 were gay? I would love to see because it's becoming a pretty comprehensive list. I went to the 90s nostalgia Facebook page, and Mandy asked the question.
She goes, let's go back in time.

Speaker 1 You're 16 and it's Friday night. What are you doing?

Speaker 1 Okay, this is, let's answer this question.

Speaker 1 Driving around at my friend's Nova, smoking weed and doing acid. You could smoke weed.
So you're hot boxing the trunk or?

Speaker 1 I was the trunk. There were four of us.
It was me, Aaron, Nate, and Steve. God, what a great night out for you when there's only four.

Speaker 1 Fuck you, man.

Speaker 1 It's me, Aaron, Nate, and Steve. Every Friday, we'd buy a quarter ounce of weed and we'd just go driving around.
Groveport, smoking weed. You know what I mean?

Speaker 1 That's not that.

Speaker 1 I'm trying to think that that would be something we would possibly do as well. That's not a crazy idea for a 16, like a Friday night.
I would say maybe I'd be drinking, though.

Speaker 1 I'd be drinking Bolskaya vodka, perhaps.

Speaker 1 A Mickey of Bolskaya vodka, probably with my friend Mish. Rest in peace to Mish.

Speaker 1 But he and I would be. Rest in peace to Aaron, by the way.
Rest in peace to Aaron as well. Oh, also Nick.
By the way, rest in peace to Nick as well.

Speaker 1 Anyone else?

Speaker 1 Let me just think if there's anybody in my story as well that's deceased. No, that's going to be the only, just Mish

Speaker 1 in my story. But yeah, we would maybe be,

Speaker 1 him and I like to drink a Mickey Abol Sky every now and then and go on the dike, and everyone laughs, but it's a place,

Speaker 1 but it's a place, it's a you know, place out in the marshland, out on the water, and we would go out there and just-is it Steve'ston? Yeah, in Steveston, yeah, we watched

Speaker 1 Irene and I watched Scary Movie last night, and very Stevenston, very prominent in that. Oh, yeah, that's they filmed a lot of stuff in Steve's.

Speaker 1 And I would say basically everything in that movie has not aged well.

Speaker 1 Oh, yeah, I agree.

Speaker 1 I watched it for a miniseries not too long ago.

Speaker 1 There's definitely some funny bits, but like, it's like crazy going back and watching it and being like, oh my God. All those movies were like that, man.

Speaker 1 When I watched Disaster Movie, I couldn't even fucking believe what I was seeing. Yeah.
Most of the jokes are just like, this guy is a gay guy. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
So what did you do on

Speaker 1 a Friday night?

Speaker 1 A little bit nerdier.

Speaker 1 Well, I would say this would be me and my friends, a couple large Domino's pizzas, a couple two liters of Coke, and some Halo 2. Yeah, that's fair.

Speaker 1 That's fair, but you wouldn't be getting high at all 16 or anything. No drinking.
I didn't start smoking weed until college. Yeah.
And then no drinking either.

Speaker 1 You guys, 16 is still a little bit on the cusp where I'm going to be able to do that.

Speaker 1 I would start drinking when I was like 17, I think. Yeah, yeah.
I think 11. I've tried to think maybe 14, 15 was the first time I drank, but at 16, I would have been definitely.

Speaker 1 Again, we had our fake IDs because we were born in 1984 and we could scratch them to 1981. So as soon as you turn 16, you're able to gamble and drink and all that stuff.
I mean,

Speaker 1 the classic Halo-related story I always tell on Go Off Kings is figuring out that because you know, the original Xbox controller was like big

Speaker 1 and it and it vibrated a lot. So, what I would do is I would make it, I would, yeah, it literally would.

Speaker 1 In the first Halo, I would make a custom multiplayer game where it was like just me, and I'd get in the back of the warthog and just like fire the turret,

Speaker 1 just put the controller, put the controller on my, on my cock

Speaker 1 that's smart though yeah that's the early oh when i was young i came up with a sex toy okay yep this guy goes getting foo bar in laid

Speaker 1 which uh fucked up beyond all recognition for anyone who doesn't know horseback riding on my horse

Speaker 1 on a friday night whatever this guy's obviously like rancher like you know what i mean he lives in my horse he lives out in the country he's not like yeah drinking a six pack of zima Sorry, mom.

Speaker 1 His Zima has alcohol in it. Oh, yeah.
It was like clear. It's like a drink.

Speaker 1 It was a malt liquor, but it was clear. And you would put a Jolly Rancher in it, and it would make it taste good because there was so much Zima.
Yeah, I remember it was really hot for a while.

Speaker 1 It was like the number one drink. And then it would get made fun of a little bit by like the beer drinkers.
They would make fun of Zima. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 1 This guy goes headed to work in the cotton mill. Okay.

Speaker 1 And then finally, he's got a night job, but that's not. I mean, listen, I'll be honest with you, man.
You got to recognize that's not what they're looking for in this scenario.

Speaker 1 They're like what people were doing for fun nights. Yeah.
Well, just say the thing that you did on your night off. Just pretend it was your Friday or whatever.

Speaker 1 Maybe your Friday is like Monday or something. Yeah.
Weekends, you know. I'm glad you brought that up because Will did have fun, and I'm going to read his post here.
Okay. Okay.

Speaker 1 Going to the mall or movies to make out or fingersome kiddie.

Speaker 1 Oh, Jesus.

Speaker 1 I mean, I know you're also a kid in this scenario, but still, you're not.

Speaker 1 Okay, I. Yeah, Yeah, see, that's what I'm saying.
Okay. Oh, yeah.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 Hold on, that sounds pretty gross. That sounds, I mean, listen.

Speaker 1 Still gross. Still

Speaker 1 insanely gross words to say. Yeah.

Speaker 1 Because if you're a kid, you can say it. Yeah, but it's, yeah.
I'm fingering me some kitty.

Speaker 1 Ooh, mamma mia.

Speaker 1 I'm going to use that all the time now.

Speaker 1 I would say don't.

Speaker 1 Again,

Speaker 1 just because of the like. It does sound like you're saying child.

Speaker 1 Yeah. Because like when we say to my wife.
Okay. Well, that's.
Okay. I'll whisper it in her ear when we lay down in bed.
Mind if I finger some of your kitty?

Speaker 1 You're not actually going to do that. You don't know that.
No, I do. She would love it.
She would love it. I would push back on that a little bit, I think.

Speaker 1 2000s nostalgia. I thought I'd throw a little at it.
If you could bring back one thing from the 2000s, what would it be? First guy goes, mutual respect and cooperation in politics.

Speaker 1 Shut up. Fuck

Speaker 1 You fucking loser. Fuck you.

Speaker 1 I'll beat the shit out of you if I see you.

Speaker 1 That's so funny to say that.

Speaker 1 About the 2000s. It is really, yeah.

Speaker 1 2004 was so brutal, man. They don't even think about how 2004 was like that election was fucking nuts.
Oh, it's insane. Yeah.
And then 2008, like,

Speaker 1 it was all fucking crazy.

Speaker 1 2001, at the end of 2001, it got pretty funny.

Speaker 1 I guess what he's saying is like, is like the Glenn Beck thing of like, doesn't he want it to be like 9-12 or something where it's like

Speaker 1 the nation came together. Yeah, the nation came together to hate brown people.
That's what he's talking about, right? Next guy goes, accountability for one's actions.

Speaker 1 Again,

Speaker 1 did we live through the same 2000s? I don't know, but then the next guy says, go-gurts. Yeah, there we go.
See, that's what I'm talking about. That's what I'm talking about.

Speaker 1 Do you guys ever cut your mouth on a go-gurt?

Speaker 1 That skins up. Oh, my God.
Yeah. I just read somebody talking about the popsicles.
Remember when you cut your mouth?

Speaker 1 We call them freezies.

Speaker 1 Do you call them ice pops or freeze pops or something, bro? Yeah, we have freezies. Mr.
Freeze, Freeze. Mr.
Freeze, Freeze. That was a huge thing, Stephan.

Speaker 1 Those are great. What was your favorite flavor, Chris? I was a blue raspberry guy.
I was about to say blue. That's 90s.
That's 90s. That's 90s as hell, right? Blue started in the 90s.

Speaker 1 It did. I think you're right.
I remember it. I was 12 years old, and I remember blue.
This guy wasn't. He's right.
He's right about blue starting starting in the night. But Mr.

Speaker 1 Freeze, that was a huge problem with the freezies of cutting the sides of your mouth. It was so sharp because you'd have to cut it with scissors, right? Yeah.

Speaker 1 To open it up. Yeah, back when we were tough, Steph, back when we would cut our lips up a little bit if we wanted a freezy.
Now they're kidding. So coddled with their freezy pops.

Speaker 1 Oh, they're soft on the side, probably.

Speaker 1 Yeah, it's 100% made out of fabric now for some reason.

Speaker 1 It's almost comfortable to rub it on. It's honestly like, yeah, it's like made with like a silk kind of thing.

Speaker 1 Are you getting your new mommy and daddy to cut up your freezy for you now yeah here's another one here's another guy this is every decade from the 50s okay to the 2010s this is a facebook group or this is well no i'm saying that like this comment shows up every oh i see okay from the 1940s to the 2010s can i guess what the comment is yep i used to drink out of the hose

Speaker 1 that's one of them but no okay nice nice guess this is the other one okay like everybody's yelling at their

Speaker 1 you want another guess?

Speaker 1 Is it like I used to play outside?

Speaker 1 Until

Speaker 1 we got like yelled at to come home or whatever? No, children knowing to come back when the street lights come on. Fuck.
Yeah. Yeah.
That is every, they love it.

Speaker 1 This guy goes, just send me back to 1990. I'll shadow my younger self and be the father he always needed.
I don't care about anything else.

Speaker 1 I'll be my dad. I'll be my own dad.
Go back and become his own dad.

Speaker 1 It's so funny to just post that on like a Facebook group where ostensibly you don't know anyone in the group. No, this is on Reddit, though, right? Oh, this is Facebook.
Oh, this is Facebook.

Speaker 1 So you're like, Facebook is real in your picture.

Speaker 1 And you're just like really opening up where you're like, yeah, I didn't have a dad. I would love to be my own father and go back in time and father myself.

Speaker 1 Just send me back to 1990 and let me be my own dad. I don't know if that's too much.

Speaker 1 Yeah, I don't want to be myself again. Like, that would be fucked up.

Speaker 1 up i want to go back in my current state and father myself as a young child is this the sad stuff brian or does it get sadder i mean it does this guy because i'll tell him it's going to be okay and he's going to make a difference someday uh this guy goes

Speaker 1 go back in time yeah it's kind of a time loop thing i guess right of a looper type situation

Speaker 1 now i'm sort of

Speaker 1 here's my question is he going to fuck his mom

Speaker 1 that's a really that's actually that's a really good bit is to go back in time to father yourself and you're already there and you fuck your mom anyway.

Speaker 1 Because she's like, oh, you treat my son so nice.

Speaker 1 You want to move in and fuck. And then she leaves your dad

Speaker 1 because he's a big dad. Yeah, but wait, yeah, because if are you your dad?

Speaker 1 It depends on where in the loop it's getting picked up and stuff because you're no, you're like eight years old at this point. So you already exist.

Speaker 1 You exist, I know, but I'm just saying, when you go back, are you your dad or are you a different kid? You're a guy. You're just a guy.
You're just a different kid.

Speaker 1 You just meet her out at like a karaoke. You're just fucking your own mom, yeah.
And you're just like, hey, what's up? You know, and you just take her home or whatever.

Speaker 1 Yeah, just so you can be a boss. It's to you.
Exactly.

Speaker 1 Oh, because you want to be in your own life. Well, it's a classic situation of fucking your own mom so you can raise yourself.

Speaker 1 You want to be in your own life, obviously. And it's like, that's the only way to do it.
The only way to be close enough to yourself to really make an impact is to

Speaker 1 buy the movie rights to this comment.

Speaker 1 Contact this guy and buy the movie. This guy goes Red Box.

Speaker 1 Ah. okay.

Speaker 1 I think everyone hated that, though. I hated it.
I don't think I never liked it. JF, I think.
Really? I think JF likes Redbox.

Speaker 1 That's the first person because I've never, ever, I've never heard anybody being like, oh, Redbox is fish. I don't think they were that common up here, Chris.
Were they? Like, they were a few places.

Speaker 1 They were places.

Speaker 1 Maybe we had something that we definitely had them. Oh, we had Gord Box, obviously.
Yeah, we had Gourd Box, which is a different one. Hey, Bud Box, eh? Hey,

Speaker 1 yeah, come on in. Grab a Canadian bacon or whatever.
You want to rent it for seven days or whatever? Go ahead, bud.

Speaker 1 I'll say this. People love the CanCon now.
We've been doing Cancon.

Speaker 1 We have a Canadian guy who smokes weed and reviews stuff, Stephan, and he's like, he's from Prince Albert, Saskatchewan, and he's super Canadian.

Speaker 1 The Prince Albert Raiders. Shout out to the Prince Albert Raiders.
Shout out to the WHL team, the Prince Albert Raiders. He's a big hockey fan, Stephan.
He wears a different jersey in every.

Speaker 1 Have you seen it?

Speaker 1 Have you seen the old Prince Albert Raiders jersey? No, I'm sure sure he wears it in one of his videos. Do you guys know what it is?

Speaker 1 It's like the most racist logo I've ever seen. Oh, he might not then.
This guy's nice.

Speaker 1 This guy goes, common sense.

Speaker 1 I hear that one a lot, like bringing back common sense. A lot of the, yeah.
This person says world peace, which is insane.

Speaker 1 Wait, that was a thing that he's saying that that happened? Back in the 2000s? September 13th? That was like one of the most peaceful decades of all time. September 13th.

Speaker 1 September 13th, 2001, there was world peace. September 12th was a bit rough, but September 13th, everybody came together.
I just sent you guys the Prince Albert Raiders

Speaker 1 logo, if you want to look at it. How about this one? Shopping malls, Pizza Hut, no smartphones.
And then this guy goes, real TV shows and movies and cartoons. If you know, you know.

Speaker 1 Everyone's looking down at their smartphones. Did you see the logo? I just looked at the logo, and it's actually racist.
I wasn't expecting that type of racism. No, I know.

Speaker 1 It was a different kind of racism.

Speaker 1 It's different type of thing go check it out if you want to see that uh uh so this person says uh blockbusters which is a common one people like to go into blockbusters let me ask you guys this kind of uh sequel to the earlier question and we love sequels because we're 90s kids um but did you when you went to the blockbuster on a friday or saturday night what were you guys renting well first off i didn't go to a oh did you go to rogers i went to rogers rogers video rogers video which is run by the horrible uh corporation We love Rogers on this show, eh?

Speaker 1 Wow. We actually hate Rogers.
We love Rogers and Scotiabank on this show. Well, we like Scotiabank.
We don't mind the Scotch. We don't mind the Scotch as much, but we hate Rogers definitely.

Speaker 1 Rogers sucks. Talus sucks as well.
But I would be renting.

Speaker 1 This is what I...

Speaker 1 Talis is doing a pretty decent job with my internet. But let's

Speaker 1 the

Speaker 1 what am I getting at Rogers Video? Now, this is, if it's not just a first-run movie, then what I was actually renting a lot of on VHS was Monty Python seasons and UFC events. Wow.

Speaker 1 Those were the two things I was like really into because they had all the UFC events, the early ones. So I would have to.

Speaker 1 Well, and of course that was before that was UFC was, it was a blood sport back then. It was insane.

Speaker 1 I was watching like the Tank Abbott, like, you know, UFC One and shit where they were, the guy getting punched in his dick a bunch of times. Yeah.
Yeah. Yeah.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 Let me tell you, my classic go-to rentals, like the rush hour movies, rush hour, like the first one and the second one. You know what? You know what I rented a lot? Blue Streak, Martin Lawrence.

Speaker 1 I used to watch that movie. I love it.
It was on TV. I loved that.

Speaker 1 Very funny.

Speaker 1 Here's a meme here. It says, Brian, what about you? Yeah, what about you? Me, I was always trying to rent something that had titties, but it wasn't obvious that I was renting a titty movie.

Speaker 1 Would you go to Mr. Skin? Would you go to Mr.
Skin? That would be smart. I didn't.
Was this pre-Mr. Skin? Mr.
Skin's been around for a while. Mr.
Skin was around. He's been around since like 2099.

Speaker 1 He's one of the first internet websites was Mr. Skin.
So this is a meme.

Speaker 1 They say don't live in the past, but the past had better cars, musics, and chicks.

Speaker 1 And that would be, they were playing

Speaker 1 the most insane loop of Paradise City, where it's just, take me down to the Paradise City where the grass is green and the girls are pretty. Take me down to

Speaker 1 just that. It was the most insane loop I've ever heard.
I couldn't figure it out.

Speaker 1 This guy goes, now we have nine-second code red Shelby Mustangs, 1,100 horsepower Corvettes, Ramstein, Night Wish, and Sabiton. So, all still good if you look.
Oh, that's okay.

Speaker 1 I mean, that's somebody who's like

Speaker 1 trying to inject some common sense into this to be like, hey, there's still good stuff. There's still a lot of good stuff.
There's a lot of bad stuff. There's a lot more stuff now.

Speaker 1 So there's a lot of bad stuff, but there is still good stuff. This guy goes, today's cars, you can't tell the difference between a Mercedes and a Toyota Celica.

Speaker 1 Yeah, you can.

Speaker 1 I mean, I do know what he's, I do understand what they're saying, though, is that like the cars do look more generic now, definitely.

Speaker 1 This guy goes,

Speaker 1 and he's got an American flag for his avatar, so you're already nervous. Here comes a good opinion.
Yeah, he goes, I agree. Cars looked like cars should look, and they were more reliable.

Speaker 1 Cars and trucks had carburetors instead of expensive throttle bodies. Fuel pumps were on the side of the engine, not inside the gas tank.
And no computers in cars and trucks back then.

Speaker 1 Times were better back then. Dating was simple with a movie and pizza.
Girls didn't have tattoos or piercings good memories though

Speaker 1 the last one that's sort of yeah he is a problem with i think they all do the old guys hate women having tattoos and piercing like but women have had tattoos and piercings for a long time i feel like that's right yeah i think it's just more open as in like

Speaker 1 You know what I mean? Like, it's more open as in like women maybe had smaller tattoos that were hidden.

Speaker 1 I understand.

Speaker 1 They just want a more traditional. They want like a woman who's like a housewife, who's at home.
Yeah. And this guy goes, and your parent, I love this guy.
This is, this is like almost a common sense.

Speaker 1 Like, it's almost a good opinion. And then it end the last word of it just makes everything bad.

Speaker 1 And your parents say that about their cars. Oh, wait.
I got to read it all right. I'm sorry.
And your parents say that about their cars, music, and broads.

Speaker 1 Ah, okay.

Speaker 1 Yeah. Broads.
This guy goes, darn Skippy, you couldn't get any of the chicks back in the day in today's cars, but you sure as fire would get all today's girls in those classic cars. Ah good point.

Speaker 1 He's saying you could, if you, well, I don't know. I think you drove up in a futuristic car.
If you drove up in a super futuristic car in like 1979,

Speaker 1 you know, yeah, I think what he's saying is that you would get dragged out of the car and killed in the streets.

Speaker 1 Yeah, that might be the case. They might be like, who are future man? Like, you know, like, it's a future man.

Speaker 1 driving a toyota zelica in 1975 and everybody chasing you

Speaker 1 down with pitchfork

Speaker 1 uh let's take a look at uh

Speaker 1 one of the grossest things one of the more gross things okay yeah i got to get y'all so anyway this is from nostalgia world on facebook i'm going to share the post with you guys just so you can see it uh Kelly Kapowski or Topanga Lawrence?

Speaker 1 Oh, the comments on this are going to be really bad. They'll be tasteful.

Speaker 1 Now, listen, I can tell you, I was of the age where this was a debate in my mind when I was younger, and I was firmly in the Kelly Kapowski.

Speaker 1 I was such a big fan of Save by the Bell.

Speaker 1 It was like in my childhood, that was my show. I loved Zach Morris.
I thought he was the funniest guy ever. I didn't watch either show.

Speaker 1 I was more of a Thomas the Tank engine.

Speaker 1 You're younger than I am, Stephanie. Yeah, too.
So I think

Speaker 1 Boy Meets World back when I was a kid. Yeah, Boy Meets World I was into, but it was for me, it was all about Kelly Kubuski.

Speaker 1 And I will say, when I was a kid, I was really, like, I thought she was the best girl. Constantly, furiously masturbating.

Speaker 1 I think I was too young to be furiously masturbating. Honestly, I think I was just like, wow, what an absolute babe.
Life was all I asked. Yeah, my first one like that was Cameron Diaz and the mask.

Speaker 1 Oh, my God. Like, I think it just came out.

Speaker 1 And I was like, this is fucking

Speaker 1 insane. I was 10 years old when that came out.
So, again, like, that was just, you know, I wasn't yet furiously masturbating to it, but I was like, that's the most beautiful woman. I was like,

Speaker 1 get out of my brain, Kelly Kapowski. We've got to do.

Speaker 1 Where do you guys stand on Jessica Rabbit and Lola Bunny?

Speaker 1 I couldn't do it. I couldn't do it.

Speaker 1 I was like, whatever. I was like, you're a babe.
I mean, I didn't understand really anything at that point. I was just like, babe, female.

Speaker 1 It just looks like a babe. I just didn't like cartoons.
I stopped liking cartoons super early because I was like, that's not what grown-ups do. So, Brian, you wouldn't do it.

Speaker 1 You've never done the Lola Bunny challenge, Brian? I've never.

Speaker 1 It just cartoons are cartoons. Like I said, I wanted to be an adult.
Like, really, like

Speaker 1 when I was like seven, I remember

Speaker 1 a lot of cartoons where they're for kids, but they have jokes for adults in them. But you come from.
I've never seen the family guy before. Oh, I love it.

Speaker 1 This guy goes, Kelly wore light makeup and normally was fully clothed. Okay.
When she did wear,

Speaker 1 I don't think she wore light makeup. She was on a television show.
I don't also think it's not surprising that she was fully clothed. She was a child.

Speaker 1 She was a teenager and they were in high school in it. So, yeah, that makes sense.
But she also, I think she was in television makeup as well.

Speaker 1 Because when she did wear a swimsuit, they normally put her in a one-piece bathing suit.

Speaker 1 She was thoughtful, supportive, soft-spoken, always positive, and a team player in the goals of their friend group. It was Kelly for the win with me.

Speaker 1 Topanga had a silly name, and I couldn't see myself saying that I couldn't see myself saying, and she looked cartoonish. I preferred the girl next door.
Look that Kelly had, look that Kelly had.

Speaker 1 So, Kelly,

Speaker 1 sorry, Topanga. Sorry, Topanga.
This

Speaker 1 45-year-old, smelly, sweaty, mess of a man just could not see himself saying your name in bed. This guy goes, I've never seen Topanga Lawrence and her show.

Speaker 1 Okay, Okay. All right.
Good comment. I mean, that's what I love about Facebook.
I'll say this. One of my favorite Facebook things is the guy that has nothing to say, but has to post.

Speaker 1 Like, everybody's like that now, right? Like,

Speaker 1 everybody that does a lot of posting and stuff really doesn't have anything to say.

Speaker 1 Well, when I used to be like actually verified on Twitter and if a post like got viral or whatever, like people would start replying to me being like, I don't know. Why are you verified?

Speaker 1 I don't know who you are.

Speaker 1 And then I'd look at their

Speaker 1 page or whatever and i'd be like man if you were like a fan of mine i would kill myself i'm glad you don't know who i am

Speaker 1 this guy goes kelly got me on son-in-law she was beautiful acting in that movie I didn't know she was in that, that Pauly Shore movie? Oh, wow. Yeah.

Speaker 1 Oh, this guy goes, listen, I do remember loving the movie Son-in-Law. I was a huge Pauly Shore head when I was a child.
I loved Biodome and all those. Me too.

Speaker 1 I'm more of a fan of his recent output. What is he doing nowadays? Just kind of puttering around his kitchen.
I seen him on Kill Tony one time, and he seemed to sort of not get the vibe of the show.

Speaker 1 Oh my God.

Speaker 1 What was the movie he did where I remember Chris? You posted a picture of it, and he was like looking directly at the camera. I forgot.
I watched that entire movie.

Speaker 1 He was like the pool guest or something where he lived in the pool, like some person's pool house or whatever. And he was trying to recapture the Pauly Shore magic.

Speaker 1 Yeah, and there was a scene where he looked straight down the barrel for two to three seconds. It was fucked.

Speaker 1 This guy goes, they had the craziest names. Who?

Speaker 1 You know, that is true. Kapowski and Topanga Lawrence.
I mean, Kelly Kapowski is a kind of a, you know, Kapowski, I feel like, is a name. Maybe it's like

Speaker 1 an Eastern European name or something. Well, check out Steven's reply.
I think you're going to like this.

Speaker 1 Is this even a question? Topanga make you want to be a real old-fashioned man that makes and takes care of everything and she don't have to worry about nothing but being there for you

Speaker 1 What?

Speaker 1 Well, I think he's saying that Kelly is a little headstrong and might want to get out, like, she knows she might want to have her own career or something. She's a little wild.

Speaker 1 Yeah, which I don't really think is true necessarily. I don't think her character was ever sort of painted that way.
So it's

Speaker 1 these guys posting these comments where it's like, I would love to marry this child. They're all old.

Speaker 1 He's like,

Speaker 1 to banga make me want to be a better man is such a funny thing to say.

Speaker 1 Yeah, I mean, it is, but it's true, Stephan, because it's like, this is a post meant for people to say, like, you know, when you were the same age as these girls,

Speaker 1 which one did you go for? They're giving you an out.

Speaker 1 But then there's all these guys who are coming in like, well, I'm 55 years old now. This is the first time seeing of them, really.
I looked into them a bit, but this is what I want.

Speaker 1 This is a TV show? They're from a TV show? Or these are just people?

Speaker 1 Dave people. Dave says, Topanga.
I used to work in a McDonald's, and there was a lady who worked there also. She was the double for Topanga.
Oh, okay. Wow.

Speaker 1 I mean, listen, I do, that makes a little bit of sense, right?

Speaker 1 Where it's just like, oh, that one is Topanga because I knew somebody who looked almost like her, and I got to like interact with her and had a crush on her or whatever. That kind of makes sense.

Speaker 1 And finally, this guy goes, two totally different kinds of girls. Kelly was more attention-seeking, and Topanga didn't care whatsoever about attention.

Speaker 1 She was smart and beautiful and funny in the younger years, but I loved both shows so much. And then, hashtag good TV, hashtag positive shows for youth.

Speaker 1 Can you click on that hashtag?

Speaker 1 I should. What's the screen grab, I guess, yeah.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 1 So I tried to show this to Chris and he got mad at me. So I'm just going to show the picture of it.
Okay.

Speaker 1 These are these AI videos, Stephan.

Speaker 1 Yeah, no, these are so fucking bad, dude. I talked about you earlier.
I talked about this to you earlier. And by the way, look at the background.
It says zeepin'.

Speaker 1 So that, and well, that's supposed to be Queen, I think, on the left, maybe.

Speaker 1 And then, yeah, it's supposed to be Led Zeppelin, and it's supposed to be physical graffiti, and it says Zeepin Grappiti.

Speaker 1 And then I can't figure out what the bottom left one is, but it says Sikkux.

Speaker 1 Biffidi, B-F-I-T-I.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 1 You know, Sikkux Buffett. Yeah.
Well, that could be physical graffiti as well, I guess. But, I mean, this looks real.
This is not real, you're telling me? This is AI.

Speaker 1 And what they are is they say, when in the world was better.

Speaker 1 And this one says 1975. None of us were around in 1975.

Speaker 1 So let's see what people think about that. This guy goes, now parents call you on the iPhone to come home.
Then parents hollered out the door for you.

Speaker 1 Yeah, I mean, it does seem like with the iPhone thing, the beauty of that is you can go a little farther away, though. Yeah, yeah.
It's nice.

Speaker 1 This guy goes, it was the greatest time, except for Jimmy Carter.

Speaker 1 I don't know how there's politics into it. Yeah, I like politics, like old politics, where it's just like, I don't know enough about it.

Speaker 1 I don't really know the history of it well enough, but it's like, except Carter. I just, for some reason, I love hearing people being like, yeah, Nixon, probably.

Speaker 1 Jimmy Carter wasn't president in 1975. No, I don't think so.

Speaker 1 Maybe he had a different issue. I guess he was maybe running.
Yeah, maybe he was like a

Speaker 1 governor or he might have been like in the in the cabinet even or something. He was in the political world, I guess.
This guy goes, I had a super great time for years in the 80s.

Speaker 1 Now I'm the phone all day getting overweight and now worry all day what people think about you and always texting that

Speaker 1 that is the high life just texting boring ass hell I know we joked about these guys being cavemen before but they really are talking and posting white cavemen they might have English second language I feel like probably or it's being translated or something like that well I think a lot of the times it's uh it's like uh voice to text oh yeah that could be it you know um Dwayne the guy we see we well I i guess we watch him on go off king sometimes like the crazy old guy from garland texas he he will have posts on twitter where it just makes no sense unless you're like oh he must have been doing uh voice voice to text here he had one where he was talking to some lady talking about going down on her and then it ended with like i'm gonna keep you going until birth of smell

Speaker 1 Yeah, old people do love to do voice to text. Yeah.
Yeah. And it just makes zero sense.
This guy goes, I was learning learning bible and praying low rider trike and bike pedal

Speaker 1 so you got a low rider last one is the last one maybe a google search i was learning but oh uh this guy goes when cars were real cars not granny cars now that

Speaker 1 i don't want to understand granny cars you know well because they're not as they're not as like big and loud i guess but they still do make big loud ones they do yeah let's move to the future again guys something we all live through okay a few days ago marked 10 10 years since the dress debate oh jesus which one is this the laurel or no well i think this is what what color is this damn dress right is it blue and is this freaking black or yeah well it's blue and black obviously it's blue and black to me no we're not gonna argue it it's blue and black it's automatically

Speaker 1 black we're not gonna make any arguments this guy goes i see it as light blue and gold and this person replies he goes yeah i see light blue and an ugly greenish gold and he goes same i thought i was the only one They're having a conversation.

Speaker 1 I thought I was the only one is so funny for a thing that like took over the internet for like a fucking month and everyone had an opinion on it. I thought he was the only one who thought it was blue.

Speaker 1 I thought a billion people thought it was blue. What are you talking about? This guy goes, when this first came out back then, all I could see was black and blue.

Speaker 1 I tried forever to see white and gold. Just sitting there.
What are you up to today, honey? Like, you got to take the garbage out. I'm busy at work right now.
And he's just staring at at this.

Speaker 1 This is the guy who was getting overweight on his phone, I think.

Speaker 1 He's staring, and he's just like, please, please turn white and gold.

Speaker 1 He's looking at the fucking, he's looking at like those settings on his phone. He's just like, what can I do with like, yeah.
He's like screaming at it eventually. He's like six hours in.
So

Speaker 1 turn white and gold. Fuck.
Just go MS Paint. Pulls up MS Paint and starts to try to color it.
And he's like, it's not the same.

Speaker 1 Just not the same.

Speaker 1 He goes, then when I looked away and then back at the the dress it went back to black and blue and i was never able to recapture the white and gold again oh fuck now i'm sitting here trying to

Speaker 1 have that fucking it's right there and you seen it for that second and you could just never make that happen again

Speaker 1 it's so funny to say I don't know how, but I did. And when I looked away and then back at the dress, it went back to black and blue.
And I was never able to recapture the white and gold.

Speaker 1 That is such a funny thing to like, I was never able to recapture the white and gold dress. Yeah, like a drug user talking about there.
Yeah, just like I could never reach that first.

Speaker 1 And he goes, now I'm sitting here trying to do it again and can't see the white and gold. Still trying, though.

Speaker 1 Man, you got this guy. You got to go outside or something.
Spending so much time. Yeah, you're a good point, Stephan.

Speaker 1 If he goes outside, it could change the lighting on it or make it look white and gold. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
No, you're right.

Speaker 1 Oh, the dress. That was just such a wonderful debate.
I found, we got a couple of videos here because

Speaker 1 Stefan brought a song.

Speaker 1 and this is a song we this is a song we play on the stream to punish the chat I have this too let me bring it on our show yeah well it's really related to the topic at hand okay so yeah all right I'm gonna play this one first that I found okay

Speaker 1 I think you guys are gonna really like it

Speaker 1 god damn it dude what's going on here

Speaker 1 back in the back in the day it was way easier to play videos for yourself oh my god back in the day you just click on youtube and the video plays plays. It would just play, yeah.
Now it's just like.

Speaker 1 Oh, and do you want to put in your algorithm AI functionality?

Speaker 1 So this is a guy with a big beard. Okay.
Always a good sign. Believe he's my age, and he says, proof we're the greatest generation.

Speaker 2 Millennials really are the greatest generation, and I will stand on my Lisa Frank glittery L'Oreal No More Tears soapbox. 1980 till 1989 was just a different world.

Speaker 2 And if you were born in those years, you are the keepers of the the sacred timeline.

Speaker 1 Fernardo. Wait, that's me.
That's me. What did he say? That's me also.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 What are the years? What are the keepers of the sacred timeline? 80 to 89. Yeah.
That's Stephanie. I'm 89.
I'm ready to go. I'm 84.
So we're in. So he's speaking to us.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 And Brian,

Speaker 1 Brian, you're. I'm 80.
Yeah. Yeah, yeah, okay.
So

Speaker 1 we run the, we're, look, the beginning, the middle, and the end. All three of us.
No, Brian doesn't quite get there.

Speaker 1 He's trying to act like he does, but Brian, this is a conversation for Stephan and I. And if you could just find

Speaker 1 out. Okay.
Please. That's fine.
I think Brian's a millennial at heart.

Speaker 1 Brian is not a millennial at heart because he's an old man at heart. Like he said, he tried to become old when he was like six years old.
Yeah,

Speaker 1 I think he really does have that vibe.

Speaker 2 My bikes with no helmets, no adult supervision. We drank from the garden hose, we ate the Flintstone vitamins and washed it down with the purple Kool-Aid.

Speaker 2 We lived before the internet, but now we are the internet. We are the generation that have the OG, MySpaces, and Facebook pages.
We are the mixtape making, Oregon Trail surviving.

Speaker 2 What's on a Gachi radio?

Speaker 1 What's on his hat? His hat looks like a guy with bad opinions.

Speaker 1 Well, I mean, yeah. But I agree with everything he's saying so far.
You know what's weird?

Speaker 1 The cadence he's talking in is AI cadence. But I don't.

Speaker 1 I don't think he's AI. No, he's real.
Can I say on his shirt he has Will Farrell doing the more cowbell bit? Oh, I gotta figure out what it was.

Speaker 1 So he's weird. What's the ugliest shirt I've ever seen?

Speaker 1 He's wearing a button-down shirt that's like a Hawaiian shirt, but like all of the little things are, yeah uh will far farrell say up on the more cowbell

Speaker 1 that is such a bad shirt i can't even imagine putting that shirt on that's actually that's a shirt i guarantee he got that off instagram that's one of the worst shirts that is actually one of the worst shirts i'll make it the picture for the show because so bad dude bad yeah bridge to terabithia generation we knew the struggles of the blockbuster late thieves we were kind we did rewind we blew into nintendo cartridges like we were giving at cpr we asked asked Jeeves to give us MapQuest directions.

Speaker 1 You guys remember when you asked Jeeves to give you MapQuest directions? Yeah, I remember MapQuest. You'd have to print out the map.
You'd have to print it out.

Speaker 1 Oh, well, I think maybe we might hear it.

Speaker 2 We still rode in the back of a Winnebago with no seatbelts, holding a road map for our dad like we were out there being pirates.

Speaker 1 We didn't use eye spots. I used to play eye spot.
No, I did use eyes. I used MapQuest, to tell you the truth.
That's

Speaker 1 yeah, I know. We use MapQuest, but I did use seatbelts.
We were using seatbelts. We went.
Yeah.

Speaker 2 We looked out the window and we were happy with it. We're nostalgic, tech savvy, and somehow still chaotic, baptized in the hose water and the neglect.

Speaker 2 We grew up with disposable cameras, blockbuster cards, and Capri's sons. We didn't survive.

Speaker 1 You said blockbuster. You said blockbuster twice and hose twice.
This is only a one-minute and 44-second rant. You should not be repeating yourself.

Speaker 1 You should just only say each one once.

Speaker 1 How many

Speaker 1 likes and comments does this have? It's going to be

Speaker 1 okay. We'll read some comments.

Speaker 2 Didn't survive. We thrived.
We are the last of the scholastic book fair candy bars selling no participation trophies.

Speaker 1 Full contact.

Speaker 1 Yeah, that's not true, by the way.

Speaker 1 I feel like we were the first generation to get participation trophies.

Speaker 1 I got participation trophies.

Speaker 1 I got them too when I was a kid. Wow.
So, yeah. We all did.
This guy's lying.

Speaker 2 Oddball champions generation.

Speaker 2 We truly are the keepers of the sacred timeline we are young enough to understand that the macarena was probably the first tick tock dance older enough to remember that the tv stations used to go off they played the national anthem and then it didn't come back on again until the morning we quote the sand lot in the goonies as if it was sacred scripture that's the worst thing i've ever heard no we don't oh my god yeah you do

Speaker 1 hey

Speaker 1 chris is always coming on the show and we're like you're killing me smalls

Speaker 1 i don't know any of the lines the only one i know is hey you guys. I think that's from Goonies, right? Yeah.
Yeah, that's the only line I know.

Speaker 1 Yeah, and I don't remember any of the other ones. What's a good sand lot line? You're killing me, Smalls.
Kill me, Smalls. Oh, that's from Sandlot.
Is there any other ones that are...

Speaker 1 Guys, we got to get to the Sand Lot before they showed it. Oh, yeah.
Oh, my God. Watch out.
It's the Goonies.

Speaker 1 Also, I made this pause the picture for the episode. Oh, my God.
Oh, yeah. You can really see the shirt and his vibe in this one.
Yeah. He looks so mad.

Speaker 2 This should be passed down to generations because it should be. So no more videos of who's the best generation when clearly it is no contest.

Speaker 1 Hey, dude. Welcome to 1990.

Speaker 1 Oh, no. What was that at the end? What was that?

Speaker 1 That is. So I'm trying to close this.
So this is inside 1998 America, and it is ai. Yeah.
Yeah. Yeah.
This guy has so many, this guy has 80s made, 90s raised video, too.

Speaker 1 It's just going to be the same video, right? Yeah, we've been back to goonies. You know what I mean? It was crazy times.
Okay, here's some time.

Speaker 1 This is actually a line that he could have used in the video. It's like, nowadays, everyone wants to talk about gooning.
We used to talk about goonies. That one fucking.

Speaker 1 Yeah, that was a misunderstanding. That's why you get paid the big bucks.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 I get paid the big bucks? Yeah, because you said the gooning and goonies.

Speaker 1 That guy doesn't make any money. Sorry, the big bucks is 2.3% of the Patriot.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 Brian, can you add that comment to this page when you get this guy? Chris's comment. This guy goes, I was born in 85, but by no means would I call myself a millennial.

Speaker 1 I was raised the same as my Gen X brother and sister. I'm sorry, but Gen X

Speaker 1 isn't a bunch of whiny babies all about their feelings. Self-hating millennials? Self-hating millennials?

Speaker 1 Be a proud millennial.

Speaker 1 And also, Stefan, I was right there. Can you at some point, Brian, I know you don't have the post up right now, but can you add my comment, please, to the post about the goonies thing and the gooning?

Speaker 1 I'll make it. Because then we can watch this guy's videos like a month from now, and you can see if he's stealing the comments, right?

Speaker 1 He should use it. He honestly should.
This guy goes last generation that could legally get our asses whipped.

Speaker 1 Oh, yeah. Here we go.
Remember that? They used to

Speaker 1 fucking whack us on the butt.

Speaker 1 Honestly, yeah, child abuse. Child abuse going away is one of those child abuse low-key fell off

Speaker 1 it used to be so fun you're right child abuse is like had its moment and it's like it feels like it's very like that's that's my favorite type of post where someone is like defending spanking and they're like yeah i was i was spanked as a child and i turned out fine well you're no you're defending spanking now so you didn't turn out fine yeah because it was a wood panel station wagon hot boxed with marlborough smoke and being on the back of my dad's harley at five able to walk across town to go fishing all day and come back before it was dark.

Speaker 1 We did have a wood panel station wagon. Yeah, we had one of those and I loved it when I was growing up.
That was like really when I was really young, we had it. We got rid of it pretty, pretty early.

Speaker 1 This person's like, excuse you? The millennial generation goes from 81 to 96. Don't you try cutting me out of my people group.

Speaker 1 I wouldn't survive as a Zoomer with their leggings tucked into their tall socks and high-rise pants. I went to American Eagle and asked if they had a huge damage.
That would make you die.

Speaker 1 Yeah, it would kill you.

Speaker 1 I wouldn't even be able to survive wearing leggings. This line, I went to American Eagle and asked if they had hip huggers and the Zoomer didn't know what I meant.

Speaker 1 I used to call the movie theater to find out what was showing and what times.

Speaker 1 So that sounds like a really embarrassing situation for you.

Speaker 1 You went in and the people didn't know what you were talking about. 82 here drank out of the hose regularly.
Run the water a few seconds to get the hot water and spiders out and enjoy but actually

Speaker 1 it has been shown that the plastics and rubber they make the hoses out of are the worst of them not even allowed in toys

Speaker 1 nobody didn't brag about it and by the way i did get brain damage lasting brain damage yeah by the way it's really bad for you it probably is gonna kill me yeah this guy does he's just sort of saying hey i did it but i think he's kind of saying like but it's actually maybe something we shouldn't be nostalgic for i wonder a lot of people agreeing with him well he goes not even allow the plastic's not even allowing toys lol but again still here but i uh tend to remove the hose and drink from the spigot itself now wait he's still drinking from the hose

Speaker 1 well yeah and he would have to lay down to drink under under the like the hose bib or whatever coming out of the yeah you take the hose off yeah so then it doesn't have the the rubbers and stuff in it yeah and you drink out of that so you're drinking directly out of the house basically right?

Speaker 1 Yeah, he's a 45-year-old man. Laying down in the

Speaker 1 laying down and getting a quick drink.

Speaker 1 This guy goes 97 here, but in honesty,

Speaker 1 I don't truly care. I was still one of the kids that drank from the hose,

Speaker 1 pissed behind the AC unit, rented from Blockbuster, et cetera. Only real difference is G.I.
Joe and He-Man were replacing Pokemon and Power Rangers. So

Speaker 1 this guy wouldn't let go of those things, even though, like, because if you're born in that time, it's like you're past that, all that stuff. But he's saying, No, I was still doing it.

Speaker 1 No one else was doing it. Everyone was like playing video games and stuff, but I was still outside drinking from the hose by myself.

Speaker 1 It seems like the best thing in the world to do. These nostalgic guys are all like, oh, I love drinking from the hose.
I wish I was outside drinking from the hose right now.

Speaker 1 I did drink from the hose. I feel like we all did, I'm sure, at some point.
But it's like, it's not like a core part of my personality. Yeah, most definitely.

Speaker 1 It was like, when I'm thinking hose, the thing that gets me all excited is

Speaker 1 the godfather.

Speaker 1 No, what I am thinking about is a water fight, like a water balloon fight or whatever. Filling up water balloons, filling up your like your super soaker or whatever, and having like a big water fight.

Speaker 1 But like the drinking from the hose thing was like, yeah, you get thirsty every now and then, you grab a drink out of it, but yeah, that's not like the thing

Speaker 1 to like pot. Yeah, that's weird.
I love it. Here we go.

Speaker 1 Chris, have you have you heard this song, Chris? I'm sure if you've been, you've probably heard it on the stream at some point, right? I don't watch your stream anymore.

Speaker 1 It's, I find it to be too uh chaotic. It uh

Speaker 1 stresses me out a lot. I have, you know, I'm a father now, and I'm looking for a lot of calm in my life.
And I found that, like, as far as content goes, I really like your stuff.

Speaker 1 It's very funny, but it's not calm. It's a little, it's a little much, I think.
But we, so this is a song that we will play to punish our chat, basically. They hate it.
Yeah. Yeah.

Speaker 1 This one right here.

Speaker 1 This is for all my 90s kids. Hell yeah.
Let's go.

Speaker 1 Now let me take you back in time, back to some better days. I remember being a kid like it was yesterday.
So, video is a guy just sitting in front of behind some DVDs.

Speaker 1 He's got Fresh Prince on there, which was one of my big time. I mentioned this all the time.
It's one of my favorite sitcoms. I love that when I was a kid.
Fresh Prince. Hey, Arnold, there.

Speaker 1 Hey, Arnold, again, I'm a little too old, I think. I'm too old for that.
Yeah, I don't think I really got into that. You didn't have to go around acting all hard.

Speaker 1 You got respect from the way you handle Pokemon cards. Couldn't wait to get that.
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. You remember that?

Speaker 1 Pokemon cards are more popular than they have ever been at this point.

Speaker 1 So this came out in, this is like five or six years ago, I think. So that was kind of maybe before the big Pokemon boom kind of came back.

Speaker 1 Can I say, Steven, it makes the song incredibly confusing because Pokemon cards are, I think, more popular than they have ever been, right? It's crazy. Yeah.
So, here's a comment, Chris.

Speaker 1 I hate getting older. Everybody's passing away.
Well, so that's

Speaker 1 so. Can I say something? Yeah, that's someone.
That's someone from our chat because that's a line.

Speaker 1 That's Doc Hollywood from our chat. That's a line.
That's a line in the song coming up here where he says, I hate getting older. Everyone's dying.

Speaker 1 Home, straight to the TV. Wouldn't miss an episode of my Dragon Ball Z.
Back when Rocco was living his modern days and when Keenan and Kel ruled the Nickelodeon ways.

Speaker 1 After watching Ren and Stimpy acting crazy as hell, I'd hop on my computer.

Speaker 1 Sorry. That's what we're watching Ren at so much.
I used to watch.

Speaker 1 Yeah, we didn't that.

Speaker 1 That was a crazy show. Remember how they had the log? I guess they were kind of crazy in different ways.

Speaker 1 Like, I feel like Stimpy was like more had like nervous anxiety or whatever, whereas like Ren was like maybe more like dominating and aggressive. Yeah.
Here's a core.

Speaker 1 We'll come back to this. Here's a core thing for nostalgia, guys, that is very important.
It's from 2000s nostalgia.

Speaker 1 Not to sound old, but hearing that Blues Clues now uses email for mail time and smartphone instead of a handy-dandy notebook almost broke me.

Speaker 1 First coming.

Speaker 1 That like pisses him off. Oh, well, not just him.
This guy goes, this generation is doomed.

Speaker 1 Because they have email on blues clues. Yes.

Speaker 1 Elmo 2. Smarty's a little smartphone.

Speaker 1 This guy got to be able to do that. I mean, I mean,

Speaker 1 it's the world that we live in. Yeah.

Speaker 1 They walk around in the world, right? They understand that, that, like, things are going to get updated. It's educational, I think,

Speaker 1 and it should be updated. Because

Speaker 1 it needs to be. Yeah,

Speaker 1 you're doing it for educational purposes. You have to be educating kids on the reality of what the world is that they're going to be entering.

Speaker 1 Wayne says,

Speaker 1 this is one of my favorite comments. Wayne says, the other day I got written up at work for skipping the pre-inspection on my trunk.
Truck.

Speaker 1 What the hell?

Speaker 1 I think I can't. I just think the word trunk is like stuck in my head.
Well, here's the thing.

Speaker 1 A truck has a trunk. Thank you.

Speaker 1 Not really. It's not kind of.
I'm trying to help you out here, Brian. Yeah.
He goes, skipping the pre-inspection on my trunk.

Speaker 1 Sorry, how many things are you going to call trunk? I mean, I just need to know. I just need to know before I keep recording.

Speaker 1 It's like, at what point are you just going to decide something else is now called trunk? Because that's the president. That's a trunk.
Yeah,

Speaker 1 you called a truck now, President Trump. I'm going to sit in this room and try to forget the word trunk when I'm done.

Speaker 1 Well, just look at the dress for a while. Yeah.
Yeah. He goes, and my boss referred to it as a letter.
He said, you got a letter for not following protocol.

Speaker 1 And all I could think of in my head was, we just got a letter. We just got a letter.
Wonder who it's from? But that's crazy. They use email now.
Makes me sad. Wait, what's that song?

Speaker 1 That's from Blues Clues. Oh, that's from Blues Clues.
Yeah. I watched it a lot when my daughter was.
Gotcha. This guy goes, a mom told her kid to do their homework at a bus stop.

Speaker 1 He proceeded to do it on his phone. He was like six or seven, not paper homework, online homework

Speaker 1 okay yeah i mean it seems like if you're at the bus stop it's probably easier than pulling out like a notebook or a binder or something right it actually allows him to do his homework on the go it is incredibly funny for adults to be talking about how blues clues has lost its way

Speaker 1 like

Speaker 1 Yeah, this person goes, none of the newer versions are going to beat the originals. Half the shows and movies we used to watch have been redone instead of come up with new ideas.

Speaker 1 They just remake all the originals. In my opinion, they ruin them.

Speaker 1 I remember this because the guy who does this show, right? He like posted a video about a year or maybe two years ago or something like that.

Speaker 1 Just like saying, Hey, it's Steve or whatever from Blues Clues. Like, just want to check in with everyone, like, see how everyone's doing or whatever.

Speaker 1 It was like, kind of like, there was some, you know, who knows what happened at the time.

Speaker 1 But I just remember reading the comments and it being really like, there was so many people who are just like, God, I need you so much now in my life. Like, I need blues clues.

Speaker 1 And it really made me kind of sad to think of like

Speaker 1 these people who are like in this somewhat like state of arrested development or whatever where they're like.

Speaker 1 They just want to go back to that time and get that comfort or whatever. When they were literally five, five years old.
Like that's what I mean.

Speaker 1 It's like, it's not like, oh, I'm getting nostalgic for this thing when I was a teenager. It's like when I was an actual little baby and and didn't have to do anything at all, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 1 You want to be

Speaker 1 like these, a lot of these people just want to exist in a world before there was homework. Yeah, like, yeah, exactly.
It's taught like the responsibility of adulthood.

Speaker 1 They're not even talking about that. They're like, I don't even want to deal with the responsibility of homework.
Being 12, yeah.

Speaker 1 Cruise the Oregon Shrey. I hate getting older.
Everybody's passing away. I wouldn't give anything if I could go.

Speaker 1 By the way,

Speaker 1 this guy's like 25 years old or something.

Speaker 1 That line feels a little bit out of the blue, I think, compared to the rest of the

Speaker 1 right. Oh, I love collecting Pokemon cards and I love watching Hey Arnold and Ren and Stimpy.
By the way,

Speaker 1 all my friends are dying. Maybe

Speaker 1 recently had a friend pass away.

Speaker 1 again. Back in the day when...

Speaker 1 No more of the back in the day.

Speaker 1 Holy shit.

Speaker 1 He's just wearing a shirt that says Carlton on it. It has Carlton from Fresh Prince on it.

Speaker 1 Yeah, I think like before they filmed this music video, he went to Urban Outfitters and just went fucking crazy. Or the Chive.
Yeah, that seemed Urban Outfitters big time.

Speaker 1 But that's the type of thing that they would have on the Chive is a shirt.

Speaker 1 The Chive doesn't pay for intellectual property. They would just have a shirt that says Carlton on it without, yeah, but but I think that they do pay for it.
They must pay.

Speaker 1 We have had this debate before, but there's no way that they're putting a picture of Chris Farley that says like Chris Farley on it and is called Chris Farley without paying some, right?

Speaker 1 I don't know, maybe I'm wrong, but probably right, maybe that, but like they do movie things like from Caddyshack and stuff like that, right? They have to have some,

Speaker 1 they would get sued by the people who make Caddyshack, probably.

Speaker 1 They're all dead.

Speaker 1 Catch me on the floor stacking up my Legos. And will someone send me what they're? Oh,

Speaker 1 that's not even a kid's thing to do. You know?

Speaker 1 Can you pause it for a second?

Speaker 1 That reminds me, Brian. This is completely meaningless now, means nothing because we live so far away from each other and I'm not going to send it to you.

Speaker 1 But when you were here, I bought a gift for you that I was planning to give to you and completely forgot. It is a Herschel Lego

Speaker 1 shoulder bag. It's a limited bag.
I saw that. Yeah.

Speaker 1 So, anyway, so next time we see each other, if ever, I do have this for you.

Speaker 1 So, Quora,

Speaker 1 a guy asked, why does it seem like life itself was so much better during 2000 to 2010?

Speaker 1 The early 2000s was basically an extension of the 90s. The culture stayed the same up until the middle 2000s.
Things started to become a little more mature, but that is an insane thing to say.

Speaker 1 You got older. Yeah, you got older.

Speaker 1 You were five years older.

Speaker 1 Things started to get a little more mature. I was expected to sort of do my own laundry and things like that.

Speaker 1 It was sort of weird because at the start, things felt like they were like eight years old. And then, like, like 10 years later, they felt like they were like 18 years old.

Speaker 1 I did anyone notice what was happening in the world during the 2000s? How it was like all of a sudden you had to start like figuring out how to get food on your own and things like that?

Speaker 1 It was like the world became a really fucked up place, actually. Yeah, very scary.
It seemed as if it wasn't, but still, it seemed as if it wasn't so bad.

Speaker 1 Then after 2013, it all became one huge mess because apparently everything we thought and did was considered evil and offensive. Oh, God.
Oh, I see. Oh, you're a bigot.
It's like a racist guy.

Speaker 1 You're a big. Okay, I got you.
Old racist. Thank you.
Thank you for illuminating the situation a little more for us.

Speaker 1 Everything we thought and did was considered evil and offensive, and we had a subculture of people trying to kill our way of life to satiate their own delusion of self-importance i thought this guy just liked watching the tv show recess but he's like he's just like a racist guy yeah okay yeah he's he's like a real nostalgia guy where it's like i wish we could go back to all the racism You know what I mean?

Speaker 1 He goes, fast forward. I gotta say, it feels like the racism is kind of still around.
Oh, I don't know.

Speaker 1 Yeah, it kind of feels like if you're nostalgic for the racism, you are kind of having a moment right now.

Speaker 1 You're eating right now.

Speaker 1 Fast forward to now and up is down, down is up, and logic has long since left the chat along with common sense.

Speaker 1 We must cancel everyone until everyone is squeaky clean, and no one is left who doesn't conform and assimilate.

Speaker 1 Canceled like fucking Chris Delia.

Speaker 1 Yeah, well, you know what I'm saying? Is there anyone who's like, did we lose any real good?

Speaker 1 He's still doing like podcasts and stuff. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
He's not even, he's canceled from Hollywood, like being on TV.

Speaker 1 That's the thing that's interesting about it, too, is that, like, yeah, you can do a thing that will get you canceled from doing a major television thing that has all these advertisers who have all these groups that are constantly bothering them about shit.

Speaker 1 But yeah, you can go and have a career and have a life and do whatever you want. It was always worth it.

Speaker 1 This guy is like worried about him. Like, he's going to get canceled.
And it's like, you're just like a Facebook comment. Well, it's not even Facebook.
It's Quora. Like, what are you worried about?

Speaker 1 Well, who knows? He could be. I mean, this could be.
I guess it could be a famous source. It could be Brian Callan posing.
That would be good. This guy got a lot of fun.
Hey, man.

Speaker 1 Hey, they're coming after us all, man.

Speaker 1 Pretty soon, individualism will be eradicated and the hive mind will be all we know. Sounds like Jim Brewer.

Speaker 1 Sounds like this could be Brewer or Callan or any of them, really. Let's do a meme from a truly weird Facebook group.
I'm going to show you this meme.

Speaker 1 And the Facebook group is so it's got a scary name. Really?

Speaker 1 It's called A Baby Boomer's Last Stand. Oh, yeah.
Which seems like the baby boomer is going to kill a bunch of people or something.

Speaker 1 But it's called that because it's a book that some guy is writing.

Speaker 1 Yeah. This guy is writing a book.

Speaker 1 He'll sell it to you if you send him $5 on cough, co-fee, K-O-F-R.

Speaker 1 Brian, can you buy his book?

Speaker 1 Yeah, A Baby Boomer's Last Stand. Yeah.
I need to see this. Yeah, I'd love to read it.
I'd love to read it. I've been trying to read more.

Speaker 1 Oh, really?

Speaker 1 Lame.

Speaker 1 uh so this meme is in the in the 60s and 70s girl girls could only wear dresses or skirts with blouses at school no trousers or slacks of any kind remember no when women didn't wear pants this is earlier than our yeah all of us this guy goes beautiful young ladies not born with cell phone attached to the hand no amputation needed lol

Speaker 1 ironically posted from his cell phone yeah

Speaker 1 yeah stefan got him yep

Speaker 1 This is disgusting, what this guy says. And I got to warn you about it.
It's so, okay. I have to imagine if Brian is saying, this is disgusting, I need to warn you.

Speaker 1 That's going to be the worst shit I've ever heard. Well, it's because it's vague, and I think you guys wouldn't catch it right away, but then you're like, oh, yeah.
And he goes, we were gentlemen.

Speaker 1 Always let the girls walk upstairs first. Yeah.

Speaker 1 Looking up their skirts. Yeah, so that's the, yeah.
This guy goes, good old times. Good music, fast cars, hot girls.

Speaker 1 This, this guy, and all caps. This is in all caps.
Those ladies were taught right by their parents. They were taught honor, self-respect, dignity, honor thy father and thy mother and their elders.

Speaker 1 Last, the fear of God was instilled in their souls and bodies.

Speaker 1 That seems bad. This guy sounds fucking crazy.
And yeah, all caps too. Like, holy shit, dude.
And then finally, this guy's,

Speaker 1 I think this is good. This is good.
I think that's why I love legs today because of no jeans.

Speaker 1 Leg man.

Speaker 1 Yes, because of no jeans or slacks. Love those mini skirts and all them long, beautiful legs.
That guy got really horny. Yeah.
Again, with his like full name and face attached to it. I love that.

Speaker 1 That's why Facebook and Google is like when me and Chris go look at like reviews of like sex sex resorts and sex clubs and stuff like that. And it's like the person's actual legal name.

Speaker 1 Or it's a person's like name along with his wife's name and he's holding his kid on his shoulders. God.
And he's like posting like, oh, man, I'd love to, I had a great time.

Speaker 1 I think that's a pretty well-known concept that there's a lot of older people who don't really seem to have a full understanding of like the footprint that is left when they post in this,

Speaker 1 wherever they're posting. Here's another meme for everybody, for you guys, just to see.

Speaker 1 90s kids didn't need much, just a blow-up pool and a hose. Now, we have a blow-up pool and a hose.

Speaker 1 In the summertime, we were out playing in a blow-up pool, just like that, an inflatable pool, and we filled it up with a hose. We filled up with a hose, yeah.
Filled it up with a hose. Charlie

Speaker 1 and Harry were my nephew and my son.

Speaker 1 Do they all live in like a town? Like, you know how there's

Speaker 1 the movie where they outlaw dancing in the one town or whatever, right?

Speaker 1 Do these guys all live in like a city or county where they've outlawed using a hose? They live in Blade Runner.

Speaker 1 That's what I think is going on.

Speaker 1 They still use a hose. Yeah, hoses are still popping off, in my opinion.

Speaker 1 I actually use a hose every single day, twice a day, because I take Milo out for a walk and then I go down and I wash my hands off

Speaker 1 with a hose. Yeah, with a hose, yeah.
So, yeah, they're still in use, definitely. We don't have them here.

Speaker 1 You don't have hoses? Nope. And it's funny because the way this guy is like

Speaker 1 it's just a kid fucking on a cell phone. He can't do cursive.
Yeah. I mean,

Speaker 1 instead of a hose. When my daughter was little, when my daughter was little, you could get the inflatable pool, but you had to fill it up with bottled water.

Speaker 1 Children protective services will come after you. Filter water.
Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 1 Unfortunately, this guy goes facts. Even our own imagination, we used to come up with all kinds of creative activities to do outdoors.

Speaker 1 I mean, I will say that I think kids do come up with creative things to do outdoors, but also maybe if they're like, you know, kids are online and shit, they're coming up with creative ideas of things they can do online.

Speaker 1 Like, they're still doing creative things and using their imagination and stuff, I believe. Gwen played outside every single day, like all day.

Speaker 1 Yeah. And she's 21.

Speaker 1 So I'll bet you people are still doing it. You know, hey, you walk by a playground.
I mean, Chris, you'll know this with Charlie. There's still people using the playground.
It's even insane how busy.

Speaker 1 crack there. There's, well, it's insane how busy the

Speaker 1 playground is. Well, there was a guy smoking crack at the downtown playground we went to, Brian, yes, in Vancouver, but that was, that's the old, that's not a playground that's really being used.

Speaker 1 It was a rainy day, and that's

Speaker 1 a playground. He's like, come on, man.
Chris was like, come on, man. Don't smoke crack here to the guy.
Well, it was there with our kids. And I just said, hey, can you smoke crack somewhere else?

Speaker 1 I didn't really confront him or anything like that. I was just like, hey,

Speaker 1 it's a playground. So I understand.
I'm not trying to, like, you know, get on. I'm sure, you know, in my head, I'm like, I'm sure you're very addicted to this.
You're not wanting to.

Speaker 1 Yeah, hey, listen. Crack is awesome.
Buddy, listen. If I weren't with my family, I'd be sitting down smoking with you right now.

Speaker 1 I love this stuff. I'm freaking fully addicted to it, but I just could you please move it along, you know.

Speaker 1 I was a real NIMBY.

Speaker 1 Yeah, this guy goes, we didn't eat shit. We had it all.
Nowadays, ask AI what to do. It'll tell you to eat shit.

Speaker 1 Me and my friends would disappear into the woods with Nerf guns and meet up with the local kids in the neighborhood and have all-out war.

Speaker 1 Miss those times so much just outside until the sun started to set. Now, I used to go play in the woods with my friends too.

Speaker 1 And we would throw bullets in the fire and run.

Speaker 1 And like, we would like put canned, like... canned fruit canned food in the fire and it would blow up.
Yeah, and you do bullets as well? We did bullets, yeah. See that?

Speaker 1 So we watched a guy, we've been watching a guy on stream called Tony Yeoman, who's this really interesting character who will eat food and like tell stories of his life.

Speaker 1 Very nostalgic character, I'd say. And he told a story about in 1990, he worked at McDonald's and he got fired because he threw a bunch of bullets into the deep fryer to see what would happen.

Speaker 1 Oh, that's awesome. That's what happened.
Well, they exploded. They got hot grease on his co-worker.
Gotcha, gotcha, gotcha. Yeah, Brian,

Speaker 1 I do think that

Speaker 1 probably there's some truth to the fact that kids do this this less now and there's like less maybe freedom, like that type of stuff of just going out.

Speaker 1 And I do think as someone who's raising a kid, I have thought of the idea of like wanting to live in a smaller place where we could just be like, all right, Charlie, you go out, you know, in the neighborhood with the kids and then come back at the end of the day.

Speaker 1 I was just, I read something and people will know, like, people who are like smart will know a lot better about this, but just about how kids at a certain age crave like freedom and just like the ability to do whatever they want.

Speaker 1 And a lot of the times if they lose that they'll try to find it in other ways and so it's like it is good and important to allow that freedom to a kid and it's harder to do that in like an urban setting or whatever where it's busy or where there's lots of so I have thought of that idea that I think it is like beneficial to do that but I think it still does exist in smaller places probably yeah well I think like

Speaker 1 I didn't I I wanted to raise a city kid and I basically did, but we lived in kind of a small part of the city. You know what I mean? That wasn't like...

Speaker 1 It wasn't so busy that it was where you could just let her go out and play in the neighborhood.

Speaker 1 That's what I want, just to be able to like allow Charlie when he gets to an age before he's a teenager to have like freedom and allow him to explore and stuff like that. Here's a good one.

Speaker 1 And I can give you a story here. Love the summertime then.

Speaker 1 It doesn't have summer anymore. No.
We have too much summer now, if anything. Actually, in Vancouver, it's become very summer.
It's like a problem. Yeah.
Seems we've run out of summers, everybody.

Speaker 1 He goes, parents were away at work till 6 p.m. This was true with my parents.
And me and my older brother did whatever we wanted. This was true with us.
You know, huffing gas.

Speaker 1 This was true with my brother and I as well. We were going crazy, huff and gas.
And then we were jumping off the roof into the four-foot pool. We were jumping off the roof, too.

Speaker 1 Yeah, we were jumping off the roof, jumping up. Crazy stuff.
You know what I mean? He goes,

Speaker 1 video games, junk food, direct TV, went swimming, and other kinds of stuff.

Speaker 1 Other kinds of stuff.

Speaker 1 You know how it is.

Speaker 1 I mean,

Speaker 1 maybe mention it or don't even say other stuff. Other kinds of stuff.
This guy, okay, here we go. Hey, we're going to get edgy here on our nostalgia.
I'm going to say it.

Speaker 1 Blockbuster wasn't that great and was overrated.

Speaker 1 Come on now. Well, Chris agrees with that.
Chris was a Rogers guy.

Speaker 1 Only Rogers, we only went to Rogers' video because it was so close at one number one road in Francis and in Richmond was right by, whereas the Blockbuster was like maybe five, ten minutes further drive.

Speaker 1 That's the only reason that we did that. It wasn't a preference.
Better collection of Blockbuster, I gotta say. Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 1 Because they had all, they had like, and somebody will complain about this, but they had like 35 of every movie. Not everyone, but the new ones.
Not the new ones, the new ones. But the new ones.

Speaker 1 But the new ones you'd get, you could only rent for like two days or whatever, right? And that's what you'd like to do. And the old old ones were like seven days.
It was one day rent just even.

Speaker 1 They popped it to one day for a bit.

Speaker 1 But do you remember the great listen? Hey, 90s kids know what I'm talking about. You know that great feeling when you go and there's none of them.

Speaker 1 You know, there's all the, because there would be the VHS tape behind the copy of the movie.

Speaker 1 Yeah. And then so there'd be, all of them would be out, but then you'd go to the returns.

Speaker 1 There'd be the returns thing where people did the returns and then you find it in there like that one new one. Ooh, that was such a good feeling.
That was a good feeling.

Speaker 1 Because I'm going to catch hell for this one. But I don't miss Blockbuster.
It's posted on here all the time and I get it, but it wasn't that great.

Speaker 1 I grew up in a small town with a few small video stores. When I moved to a city with several blockbusters, I remember thinking, this is it.
Compared to the small ones I went to, Blockbuster was awful.

Speaker 1 Their selection was great if you only wanted a new release, but for anything else, they were never our go-to for movies. Their prices were high and they had fees for everything.

Speaker 1 I always wonder why some people treat them like they were the greatest thing to ever happen in video rental history. You are a fucking idiot.
No, they are, they are just, this guy is really dumb.

Speaker 1 Does he really think that? I feel like they are just like the symbol of the movie store. Right?

Speaker 1 Yeah, Blockbuster just represents movie rentals. Movie rentals and that experience.

Speaker 1 They're not saying that the corporate, you know, like, well, we really like their corporate mission statement and things like that.

Speaker 1 No, it's like, it's just like, yeah, of course, their smaller versions of things are better for a lot of things.

Speaker 1 Sometimes we'll have like a different selection, but I will I am nostalgic for this thing.

Speaker 1 This is a real thing that as like a big-time movie fan, that it really was, you know, people talk about it, but it really was fun going out as a family and picking a fucking movie to watch and like going and like, I would spend 30 minutes in there, like really, like I'd be looking at all the sports things, all the UFC things or whatever.

Speaker 1 And that is something that I miss and I think was like a good thing that we had that we got rid of for sure. I had four brothers and sisters, and there were some knockdown fucking drag-out fights.

Speaker 1 I don't look at it as a positive.

Speaker 1 Yeah, that's fair. That's fair.
We were always, my brother and I were pretty close. Like, my brother was two years older than me, and we had similar interests and like similar stuff.

Speaker 1 So, we would, we would usually not have a lot of trouble picking a movie or whatever. I always enjoyed it, and I would get candies as well, gummy bears.
Oh, you got gummy bears. I love this guy.

Speaker 1 The space represented the brand, which was shitty generic corporate box store you're likely projecting fun memories of family and home movie entertainment onto a corporate brand just wanted your money anyway they could get it and then this guy goes oh

Speaker 1 what the he's bringing capitalism into it like yeah yeah the businesses are trying

Speaker 1 that's what capitalism they're all trying to make money these days they didn't before

Speaker 1 They didn't make any money. They're just like, oh, I just love renting videos to be honest with you.

Speaker 1 The way we watch movies now, they're still trying to make money doing, it's not like that part is gone.

Speaker 1 Nope, you can watch all the movies for $16.99 a month. Well, you can.
I mean, if you're willing to steal them, then you need to do it.

Speaker 1 I do. I steal movies a lot.
I have a lot of streaming services. Me too.
But if I can't find it on the streaming service and it's

Speaker 1 my friend producer Dan steals the movies and then I watch them. I am also on Dan's Plex, but sometimes I get my own and I download my own to watch, but I will only do it.

Speaker 1 If they'll give it to me for a rental for like $4.99 or whatever,

Speaker 1 it's those ones where, yeah, I'll pay that sometimes. I'll pay $20.
No, I won't.

Speaker 1 If they're like, hey, it's $20 to watch this movie and it's not available on any streaming service, unless it's like, hey, I really want to support this, like Palm Springs, you know, like I wanted to go out and support that movie.

Speaker 1 It was like, it was free, but I went out and like paid money because I thought it was so good, you know, like I'll do that sometimes.

Speaker 1 This guy goes, I wish Toys R stayed as the same time and place i went to one in canada it doesn't feel right if i could be seven again and see the stuff that was in the store when i was seven it would be a whole different story it doesn't feel right to go into this children's toy store yeah it's not the same why can't i go to the toy store when i was seven which toy store is that toys r us toys are us by the way speaking of nostalgia they're out of business now toys are gone they're gone you can get there are some not in canada they're all closed down in Canada.

Speaker 1 Yeah, they used to be all over the place here. And they're all.
There's a big one over on Broadway. I remember.
Yeah. I mean,

Speaker 1 they're huge spaces. So, like, a lot of the malls and stuff had them before.
Now they're just big, empty. Hey, Chris, you remember going to Zellers?

Speaker 1 Oh, they brought Zellers back. I know they brought Zellers back like kind of ironically.
But yeah, it's like we didn't. Zellers was like the cheap clothing brand place, Brian, around here.

Speaker 1 Show it was Steins. Yeah, it was the place where we'd do the classic, like, I saw you fucking shopping in Zellers.
Like, oh, yeah, why were you there? And it's like, I was fucking walking through.

Speaker 1 Like,

Speaker 1 it's attached to the mall. I was walking through Zellers to get to the mall.
To get to the mall, obviously. But Zellers had this little diner in it as well that we would go eat at sometimes.

Speaker 1 Zellers was badass. It's Woolworth.
This guy goes, I love the trashy local video store that had every movie ever put on tape, including the porns. If I wanted,

Speaker 1 okay, so you're

Speaker 1 my guy, Sean.

Speaker 1 He goes,

Speaker 1 if I wanted new mainstream crap, I'd go to the Blockbuster equivalent. But for obscure films, I read about in my Leonard Malton guide, give me the crap.

Speaker 1 Leonard Malton? Yeah, give me the crappy makeshift counters of video mania. I think I only went to Blockbuster two or three times.
We had other options.

Speaker 1 Leonard Malton referenced since Doug loves movies. Doug Benson, famous marijuana smoking comedian Doug Benson, used to talk about Leonard Malton.
Is he still smoking?

Speaker 1 Oh, Doug Benson. Have you met this guy, Stefan?

Speaker 1 No, he's

Speaker 1 a weed smoker. Oh, buddy.
Don't get me started. This guy loves this stuff.
He's all over it. Oh, okay.
Interesting. Finally, I had a great time.
I barely had late fees, if at all.

Speaker 1 I went to Blockbuster.

Speaker 1 You don't have to break it. You have to break

Speaker 1 responsibility. That's true.
It was actually cool to have late fees, by the way. Yeah.
I had late fees. I couldn't rent without getting late fees.
It was every single time.

Speaker 1 Me and Katie, when we first got together, we'd go rent stuff, and I would never take shit back.

Speaker 1 I actually wasn't able to like rent at like I was able to rent at some blockbusters in town but other ones they wouldn't let just like a picture of you behind the counter

Speaker 1 do not rent to Queber

Speaker 1 because I went to blockbusters in Missouri Oklahoma Florida Hollywood video was its only competitor I knew of I got I wasn't able to rent there either blockbuster was

Speaker 1 Blockbuster was cleaner, well lit, had better shelves and better video game selection, especially for Dreamcast games.

Speaker 1 Hollywood Video had more selection on movies and even had a ton of like Japanese animation. Blockbuster had higher prices on the impulse aisle stuff, like candy and snacks.

Speaker 1 Hollywood Video had none of my favorite candies most of the time in stock and is dirtier. I liked Blockbuster.
I love these guys. They're posted just like explaining what each store has.

Speaker 1 So much of that, dude, because like they're all, they all have the same thing to say. You know what I mean? Like

Speaker 1 every one of them. Like I found a 2010s nostalgia group where they talked about drinking out of the hose.

Speaker 1 Come on, man. And fucking being out to the lights, come on.
It's just the same thing over and over and over again. It's crazy that people don't, like here, here's a 2010s.

Speaker 1 Here, the 2010s were the peak of humanity. Everything went downhill since 2020.

Speaker 1 Because 2012 was the last great one. That is true, but that's fair.
2012 was the last great one. 2013 and 2014 was pretty good.
2015 and 16 had its moments, but after that,

Speaker 1 2016 is right. Yeah, so a lot.
Does no one remember Watch Me Whip and Nene? Clearly, I do. I remember that.
It was like 10 years ago. I remember it.

Speaker 1 Clearly, not every part of the 2000s was peak, you bunch of mooks. And a guy replies and goes, no, I remember it.
I was 11 years old when it came out. Man, some good times.

Speaker 1 So I think that's the lesson I want everybody to take from this episode is that

Speaker 1 everybody wishes, again,

Speaker 1 they wish they were the version of themselves before homework. And like, yeah, they're not remembering like the stuff.
They're remembering being 11. Yes, yeah.
And they don't see that either.

Speaker 1 Like they don't, they don't even see that they're like so, it's so cliche.

Speaker 1 Like that.

Speaker 1 It's like everything they say, and they're going to do it for the 2020s too. I did, I didn't, I didn't get it.
I saw a guy saying,

Speaker 1 who remembers lockdown?

Speaker 1 It was like two years ago. I know.
And he's like,

Speaker 1 I miss it. He said he missed it.
And he missed Tiger King and stuff. It's like, we're just on a constant fucking loop.

Speaker 1 Can you play the song one more time? Just a little bit of it. Oh, I closed the window.
I can't. Wait, wait, maybe.

Speaker 1 It's in the chat there.

Speaker 1 I just want to play.

Speaker 1 We'll play a little more song.

Speaker 1 Do you guys remember this song? Remember when you heard this song? Oh, my God. Earlier in the episode?

Speaker 1 Fuck. I got to move forward.
Oh, here we are. Here we are.

Speaker 1 He's talking about candy now. What I'm saying.

Speaker 1 All right, Brian.

Speaker 1 I missed this song.

Speaker 1 If you can buy surge now.

Speaker 1 Yeah, he bought all that stuff now. He's wearing all these shirts.

Speaker 1 I think what I like is that he's like, remember watching these TV shows? And he has all these like recently made like DVD box sets of them. Yeah.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 Yeah, he has access to every single thing that he's

Speaker 1 the only difference is that his friends are all dying now. Yeah.

Speaker 1 Yeah. Well, yeah, he was in that he was in that horrible bus crash with all of his friends.
Back in the day, they weren't passing away, but now they are passing away. They are.

Speaker 1 So I go leg in my bed and turn on Nick at night. Couldn't wait to grow up so I could move away, but soon to learn that the best times was back in the day.

Speaker 1 I disagree with him on that. Uh, I loved when I moved away.
All right, that is nostalgia, guys. It's very fun.
Stefan is on the go off kings. You want to plug anything else?

Speaker 1 Yeah, go off kings, Monday to Thursday, twitch.tv/slash go off kings, uh, blocked party podcast. You can go to patreon.com slash block party.
We do three episodes a month on there.

Speaker 1 Big backlog of episodes as well. You guys have been on.
You guys have been on the stream. I mean, yeah,

Speaker 1 we do all this stuff. We don't do the stream anymore because it's kind of like

Speaker 1 do you have people on the stream anymore? I kind of miss when. Did anyone else miss when Chris James used to come on the street?

Speaker 1 Do you remember the one time when Chris came on the Go Off King stream and he took a bunch of mushrooms and he was so fucked up over watching Mike Huckabee videos and he just couldn't stop laughing the entire time?

Speaker 1 Those were the days.

Speaker 1 We're watching the Peep This Out Ghost Bridge live stream tomorrow. Oh, that's beautiful.

Speaker 1 I've been prison. I remember that.
I remember watching that as well. And yeah, Stephan's, I just realized Stefan's been on all of our live shows.

Speaker 1 So I just want to make a message as a promise to the fans. The next live show we do, Stefan will not be available.
He's going to be on it. All right.
Bye. We'll see y'all next week.
Bye.
