TRANSCRIPT · AUTO-GENERATED

I can't ring all the time. I love you. I know. I can go slow ahead.

Come on down and jump some of this shit. Don't do some scary movie. You are a boy. How was this?

It's for Brody. We saw, we kicked it out. Beetlejuice. Beetlejuice.

Beetlejuice. It's your dad. It's your dad. It's your dad.

It's your dad. Well, I'll have you by everyone. And welcome to the Naudio Nodes Barca. Is this Nari Puckas supposed to buy an old Nodes?

I am one of your horse son. And I am the other horse Paul. And just to test out for the group is a very good one. Please tell me I don't want to sound like a demon.

I'm a demon. Just because we'll be asked to decide. Next we'll mine microphone from time to time. I tested and tested and tested.

Now it's made of super, super paranoid. Please tell us how normal. I'm not even five minutes in. This is going to be a hell of an episode.

That was a good start. If you haven't already noticed, we have two VMs. We have two beautiful, sexual divas of human beings. We have the shining example of humanity that is the lovely jaw.

And we have the round that was last week. Hopefully we will talk about Titanic a little bit more later. We could not let him go. He's sitting there in the room waiting for us to return.

Also, our son is alive. We have the giant. He's the largest person on the podcast. But now, we'll get into this one.

Oh, hint hint hint. We have already announced it, so it's fine. But he is very snazzy, though, bless him. I'm not very well.

I want to chat. Give Adam a lot of love. Like I say, we're not going to ask him to take his top off tonight because he is very poorly. I'll be born more.

If we get a few count over 30, we'll take his top off. That's just him. It's not going to happen tonight. I'm not going to ask him to take his top off tonight.

I'm not going to ask him to take his top off tonight. I don't work. I feel before we get into anything, I should be getting the disclaimer out the way. First thing, so everything discussed in today's episode is our opinions and our opinions alone.

If you'd like to discuss anything from today's episode, please come and join us on our Facebook page. I would just call it a comment section where we can have an open discussion. But what we won't have is anyone coming for us and telling us our opinions are wrong. We can all agree to disagree and find them.

So let's keep it fun. Keep it kind and keep their toxic behavior out of notism. Very well done. This message was brought to you by salmon.

I can't move. I can't move. I can't move. I can't move.

I can't move. I can't walk for shit. I'm not getting changed. I'm standing in my pages.

Audio listeners. I'm going for the nerdy up and off team. With her greasy hair and really shit makeup job, she's doing one for the team. I forget the positivity train is in it tonight.

I've got to knock that one off. If some of you have a nice time in Paris, you're not good at them pictures. We didn't learn this weekend. She has a very channelling smile.

When you say it's smiles, you panic. So just say it. Put them on. She's probably not watching at all.

She probably passed a sleeplesser. We're not going to do that. I'm going to stop slamming the tracks a little bit. Just because of the fact that we're not going to stop slamming the tracks a little bit.

Just because for the listeners of the podcast for you special people out there, we do have a special episode that's going to be coming out on Tuesday where we will be discussing the amazing X-Men 97 TV show. So before we can get into it and spoil it anymore, I'm going to put a block on it and say no, no chat about this. We've got 26 fucking seasons to talk about in this show. That is really true.

So maybe I should just crack on with a list out of the park. The friend of the park. And you anticipated being asked to love watching this week. And I was like, I've been on three of the past four weeks.

I need to actually watch something new. Sorry to say something. I have started a new series for you guys. I did too.

What you being watching? I started watching. Finally, Ted Lassop. It is phenomenal.

I'm going to watch a couple of episodes. I've got something to talk about. I'm going to watch a whole fucking first season. This is incredible.

It's unreal. That's fantastic. I'm going to drag it back onto that segment every week. I've actually been what I've started young Sheldon and I absolutely fucking love it.

I was just starting to do issues like obsessed with it already. I can get away with it. I love it. Watching the evolution of Sheldon, like how he got to say Bazinga is because he decided that he wanted to pull practical jokes on people and the sign on this wall that had a joke.

If you want to get someone, get them with a Bazinga and see the evolution of them and everything. I love it. Absolutely love it. I know I've got a lot of shit from certain corners of the internet because he's a dick.

But it's one of the ones I couldn't get away with. It probably wasn't for me. I was happy with what I got with the big band. I didn't need the younger one.

I can understand why people like it though. The cast is brilliant. I love the guy who is Sheldon's dad. It's just so funny.

It's funny. It's a fundraiser. It's a fundraiser. It's funny.

It's a lead back to everything we can do to be. Everything is always funny. Everything is an always funny reference. I think I've done it for the last four weeks or something.

Even in monsters I still manage to get a reference. I feel with everything I like. Everything I do is just like, oh, I've been all this. Since George dragged the second bar, I'll give two quick reviews.

I've watched two films. Yes, yeah. Imaginary. Shit.

What's that? What's imaginary? It's about the imaginary. Oh, right.

It doesn't sound great. I'll give it a moment. It's not enough like really creepy and good. It's like little girl talking or like a bear that moves slightly and you think, all right, then it's more of a sense of like the same mixture of the labyrinth in Coraline and it's like, is this meant to be funny or scary?

It's neither. Yeah. Oh, you give it one pork chimp out of the five. I wouldn't even get a pork chimp.

I wouldn't even slap it with a pork chimp. Oh, oh. Oh, oh, oh. But yeah, but Abigail, which is a good.

If you haven't seen it, it's about a vampire ballerina, which is just fun. Oh, yeah. I kept seeing trailers for that. But they're in Spanish and I was like, I kind of understand what's going on.

It's very much a vampire version of usual suspects. Oh, oh, oh. Yeah. That's all I can say.

It's like, it's very, but, but the guy in it is British. He has a very weird Queen's accent that does very put you off a lot, but it's the base that would be in the base. Oh, it's, it's, it's done. And Steven's that's the one.

It's, it's, um, he's in. No, that's even not Welsh. I don't think. What was that?

Examine a program. Oh, yeah. Legend. Legion.

That was the one. He was in the agent and he's also Matthew and now. Oh, God. I'm not getting to talk about down and now.

I'm sick of hearing about Bridget in this weekend. So it will move past that. Oh, that's all that's all in Paris was posted for Bridget in the title for all it's just Bridget in French. It's really long.

Really long guys. Guys, guys, we need to talk about South Park. The Cune. I apologize to any audio listeners.

If I hurt your ears and advance with me singing, I think like it was going to be a lot. I'm told to add to Sammy's disclaimer as well because Joe did ask a very serious question before. Like, is there anything off limits in this conversation? Because South Park was there.

Nope. There is not going to be any off limits. We are not going to try and offend anyone, but we are going to be talking about the show as it's all. We're not going to pull any punches because that's the show for it doesn't.

So why should we? Yeah. Good lawyers. I feel like we can't even know what you get.

You can't have a conversation with South Park and go in and go. I'm disgusted. No, I'm just going to say if you're a South Park fan, you know what you're expecting. No, no, no, no.

What do you mean it's controversial? What are you talking about? Oh, yes. So.

I was going to say something else and then I was like, no, well, stop. But the last day of George question as well. There's been 26 seasons of this. This day of year in 1997.

So get the facts out of the way. Has this like, because with many assures, like it seems like we asked the question when we've done the Simpsons episode has South Park now over state. It's welcome. Are we?

Good question. That is a good question. I, I'm going to jump in and say no straight off the bat. I'm going to agree.

I'm going to fully agree with you. No. Right. I'll give a reason for it.

I'll say it. I'm going to say it. I must stop. I haven't watched any of the newest seasons.

I think the last one that I watched was about like season 21, baby. Yeah, that's a lot. Yeah. So I've been a lot over so I'm going to see a no because I've been getting a lot of years over.

So. I'll agree with. I'll agree with you. Unlike the Simpsons.

It always does come up with a kind of a new approach or a new idea. where it goes with the times. So you know where with the season, for example, the last one I probably watched was the Trump one. And you know where you are in that time period.

So it's kind like a timeline really, like kind of giving you a timeline of I guess our pop culture references, our pop culture history. Like I don't feel that I don't feel like people like of my nephews ages who were like 19 to 21 would get to the earliest stuff, but they would certainly get them all recent stuff. Yeah, yeah. And that's why I think actually when it comes to South Park, and when it will always get the current persons with like say the Simpson's family guy and stuff like that, where as you said, it moves with the times it plays on the times of jokes about the times where again, I'm not shitting on the Simpsons, but I am in the same way.

It kind of goes around the same loop. There's only so many times you can have Bartie, I, Krombre and be like the naughty boy. Don't have a cow man. Yeah, it's kind of like loses the kind of the glossiness of the new factor where, as I said with South Park, they'll focus on a certain thing.

And if they think, oh, this bit this joke's all now, they'll they'll kill off the joke and they'll be gone for a different joke. I think like the late seasons, they took the focus away from the boys, and then it was more randy, like, take a big farm, take a big farm. But there's just so many, like, because when you think about it as well, there's just a rich history. I remember when this first got advertised, like in the UK, it was like, this is going to be the most controversial TV show in the world.

It was showing them like a little bit of the clock like half 10 o'clock on Channel 4. Oh, yes. So it was kind of like the big boys, this is before Channel 5 and stuff like that. So they kind of give you that risky element.

They always almost felt like you were a naughty boy, like a naughty boy, staying up and watching this show, because like, let's go on as one were younger as well. A lot of the jokes kind of went all over your head, yeah, they didn't land. But when you watch it back now, it's fucking hilarious. It's fucking so funny.

Earlier stuff, so hilarious. I do remember not watching it, but they watched it on telly but watching it at a friend's house and I felt naughty. Like we shouldn't be doing this kind of thing. But I always remember her having the box sets on BHS.

Right. Yes. BHS. That's I'm that old.

This is a show I use that would be a chess, I think it's absence to be a chess as well. Love me too. It took me a long time to get rid of them as well. I think I threw them out well I think I still got them.

I don't really think I still got them. So what is your earliest memory of an episode? Like an old like this favorite episode of what's your earliest because there's two things I remember back when I first watched it. I'll be interested in all your first memories.

Like without looking on Google, I'm watching you guys. I can say the lights and you guys. Absolutely. I can describe it yet.

So I can't tell you as which season is it? Oh, that's fine. I expect that descriptions will be fine. So I'm doing a go.

Sorry. Yeah. Yeah. I'm going first.

I am my first memory of So Park was when they did the special on like, was a channel four. When it was the open night in the UK, sort of thing for South Park, being on sort of the Terrence and Phillip special. Right. And then it was like the first like four or five episodes from season one.

Right. Okay. Yeah. So this sort of being like back in the year or something.

I think it was the Kingdom of America first. Yeah. So the first episode I remember seeing was the Terrence and Phillip, not without my illness. Right.

Mine also season two, which was I think when it started out in Toronto, because that Friday night line up, you had friends on it nine. We always had something in the sitcom slot of nine 30 and then South Park was on a bit later. My parents would always go out on Friday night. The quiz, I've got something just on the pub.

And me and Sonia would be like, like, like, so, Sonia would be babysitting watch South Park. Yeah. Like season two, there's a lot of episodes I remember sitting in the living room in the house. I lived that before, like, before we moved in like 2000 and watched this.

So I would have been definitely under 10. So yeah, if you're watching with judging us on you, that's bad babysitting. Also, is that a brown egg? Crunk.

No, these brown eggs brown eggs. Oh, this. Yeah, absolutely. Well, I actually feel like I remember the first episode with the with the Proven, but I don't know if that's triggered because of my love of stick of truth.

I love video game. So I don't know if the memory is triggered because when you go on the spaceship and that's it's very similar to the first episode. And I'm like, is that where I'm coming from? But I do.

I remember the first episode very clearly. Yeah. And I'm interested in trying to make the sport boy all night as well. I honestly was.

That was on channel five. Hell of five years. Wow. Yeah.

So the two memories I remember because the other campaign was always hilarious because it focused a lot on George Clooney being the first big name guest as the gay dog. So that had like big name guests in the yesterday of the piece. So George Clooney actually voiced the gay dog. I've got one of the dog was called now.

What a fucking sport. Yeah. That's amazing. And as I said, the anal proven was just because it was being an ex ex files fan as well.

Everything that the dude was kind of like just like a riff or a piss take. I think I think at the time ex files were absolutely huge. So so it's kind of like that's the introduction. And then we got to meet this most hideous and it doesn't get any redeeming qualities at all.

I don't care what people say. Eric Carvin is the most audience TV character out there, even worse than Frank from only Sonny. He has no redeeming qualities at all. Like when you watch that character.

But yeah. A hilarious author. But I remember watching back and then the two things I remember watching. And if I might be wrong because I know we mentioned stuff that was on the thing.

This followed Eurotrash. I'm sure. Of course it did. Of course it did.

Of course. Fuck. Why don't we do it in episode on Eurotrash as well? I got a lot of that theory.

Oh, gosh. That's what you feel the Ferrari. We just beat the France as well. I don't know.

I don't think we would be taking off air if we did actually mention. That's what I talked about. Like, I'm sort of Eurotrash. I was like, no, no, you just kind of talk about this at all.

And but then we were introduced like to the running gag for more sort of like early seasons. Oh my god, you kill Kenny. You burst it. And the hilarity that like was when you watched it and trying to find out different ways that they would kill off Kenny each week.

Yeah. Was just that was like that was one of the main reasons that you continue to watch. And and throughout them, seasons you got introduced to some amazing characters as well, like Mr. Garrison Mr.

Hatz, like his evolution throughout the seasons is just a bit of a mere compared to like like, and again, that's why I think this show as well stands up a little bit better in time to the Simpsons and stuff because characters actually move forward like not the main kids, but the main characters behind the scenes type thing. Yeah. Sorry. No, no, no, no, no.

I guess the Simpsons is like good at building these characters and building this environment, this world, but their focus was all about the family dynamic. It was never about what's going on in the world and South Park and it's called also a satirical show to post on at people and places and events and things that are going on currently, which is why it's still current whereas the Simpsons ran out of material to talk about the family dynamic and now the old one that can do is talk about culture, which just really lands. It doesn't really fit their show. True.

It just feels like they've done something that's already been done before when South Park has been in that category, like throughout the start, they're going from starting out. I'm going to get me deafing out the way with, you know, can't have an episode without me referring to death. And the mum, Kyle's mum, this is the original voice actress for that died very early on. And Trey Parker was so devastated by it that he almost can the character completely until I don't know what the turnaround was, but I don't know if he actually does have voice or they found someone else very similar, but he was crushed by that.

That we nearly didn't have a Kyle's mum character, the whole series, she would have just gone because he was devastated. But does anyone actually watch the making of South Park and how they do in episode, just one single episode? Yeah, not for a long time. I think there was an extra one.

I think it was an extra DVD type thing. I feel like it was because when you look at it on YouTube, that's what the kind of like imagery you get from it. So it's one week where the majority of the time is spent in the writers room. One of the writers is Bill Hader.

Right. Yeah. And has been since the start, which is book and mind blowing that he's also a voice actor in it as well, not big parts, but miniature parts. And it's majority spent in a writers room.

Then they eventually get down to the drawing of it because they are just re-usling stencils. It's not like anything fresh, like they have to do new, they can just reuse stuff. And then the voice work comes in and it's the chaotic period of one week doing episode. And it was fucking mind blowing to watch them, especially in the writers room, because it's part of it where they kind of talk, the laugh and sell us.

And all of that process. I think Jake said in the chat earlier as well, because they've always been that chaotic type of process and stuff, to the point where, as I said, my story part actually hated making South Park for a while. So that they actually wanted to fall on stop because it was like this is going to be fun. That's where anything we do, it's going to be fun.

It's stopping fun for them for quite a while. So we almost, like the were plans. If I'm, I could be wrong. So again, this is not possible, but I think it was quite not long after they did the movie.

Because I think the movie process to do South Park the movie, that killed a lot of joy for them. Because being a TV show, as I said in Accuio, where the movie, fuck that must have been hard. Because they're never trying to do a movie afterwards since then, other. No, no, no, no, no.

Two special spots. Nothing to nothing to the degree of the movie. And well, this is that period of time. Was that the period of time?

Trying to think when did the movie come out? Oh, 2009. No, no, no. Was that there?

Was that there for your score at the MTV Awards when they went? Was it MTV Awards? It was Oscars, yeah. Were they trusted in addresses?

Oh, the fucking lot. Yes. Have you watched the footage back of them too? No one that they're on acid, you're like, oh my god, they are off there tits.

To be fair, I think that would be your slot if we would have podcasted awards, like. I'm absolutely not. They just all acknowledge the people like when you're trying to do it, and it's just like, it's such a beautiful magazine. It's just a lovely moment.

And everyone's wondering why they're not asking who they're wearing, because I thought the Oscar is on the red carpet. It's like, who you're wearing, and it's like, why are you not interested in my gown? Like, look, it's spectacular. Oh, but I don't think they get the credit for what they do as well, because people look at them as just like two fraff boys being acting like idiots and stuff.

They are a lot smarter than they look. I know, you know, I'll take away, I'll Gasmore, because again, I can't even know. It's been fantastic. You've made the mistake of bringing on someone who likes El Gasmore, I will defend this movie.

It's a good movie. It's funny. I don't want to let Humsus die anymore. I mean, I'm glad he got something out of it.

Yeah, I still can't. I don't think I'll ever watch it again. Never. I can't believe it's even part of our air.

Right. In our catalog, I kind of believe it's sitting in the name of Ben. It is both the legend, though. If the legend that is the old old daughter, Donna.

That is true, and that will forever. One thing. That comes out of the suite. I'm here, Zana.

I do like, I mean, I love them movie, basketball, am I seeing that right? Basketball is brilliant. I think it's such an underrated football. I love this one.

Steve, very. That's probably the one. It has its moments, but then while it's having its moments, you've got somebody with a penis in the shadow wall. You know what I mean?

It's like you're having those lovely wholesome moments where you're like, oh, look at the stories all coming together, and then you see a penis in the shadow wall. Come on, Steve. Come on. I love this.

Look, going back to the show as well. Because as we said, we've had many years, many years of different aspects, different views. One thing I will love so far for is that, like, basically, their stance on what they are taking their piss out of. Like, they say nothing is off limits.

Like, everything is available. Because that's why I think they get away with being as offensive, or you can take offense of a lot of this stuff, is because they're not scared to take the piss out of literally anything. They say, do you want to take the piss out of gears? Do you want to take a rear show?

We have to take the piss out of it. It's just simply because, people say, oh, that's off limits. They'll go, why? It's a joke.

It's not meant to be hurtful. It's not done in an angry or violent way. You know what the doing is? They're walking in front of the people who are.

It's not the action itself. It's open for anyone who is racist or who is homophobic. You know, we're going to put for you. Not them, because that's normal.

You don't make normal life. They live a normal life. And I love that about them. I know one character after didn't look that about them.

Let's talk about that. Let's talk about it. We're going to mention Isaac Hayes and Scientology. Yes, we'll get into it.

We'll put it off the part. No, we might as well get in there. Get in there hard. I am going to drop a bomb on this.

Should we talk about what happened first? Yes. Before I go into the rabbit hole that I've been down today. Oh, wow.

Okay. So, you give it to us. So, a South Park run episode called In A Closet. Yes.

Where a top brilliant episode. Stan ends up talking to the Scientologists. He becomes one of the, like, the prophet, like the reincarnation of Elrondovid. Yes.

And then, like, the new prophet is here. Tom Cruise comes to his house and says, you know, my good actor and Stan slights him. So he hides in his closet. And then they make Stan write a new scripture.

Mm-hmm. And cheer me up. So they find out that basically it's not to enlighten people. It's a scam.

And Stan takes offense to that and comes out and says, you roll a bunch of assholes and go home and do something about your lives. Isaac Hayes was a Scientologist. Yes. And as a result, left the shore.

But not just left the shore. He kicked up a big fuss and said, you can't update the piss out of my faith. And... Yeah, this is religious intolerance.

Yes, that was the whole thing. I'm sorry. It's all right to take the piss out of Christianity. You know, Jewishism.

Jewishism. You can name it, but oh my god, you dare. Dare talk about Scientology. Then you are taught the end of the wrong.

Completely hypocritical. And he is dead. And, of course, completely. He's not even thought of himself.

No, that's true. How many more you've got to get to the temperature? Oh, for me. We'll try a third.

We'll try a third in a bit. But someone in the M chat has actually asked a really good question. Sam Hink didn't hide. Sam, if Sam Hink didn't hide Sam, if Salkpark was coming out to date, what did he successful?

Ooh, depends on how it started. I think if it started the same way, probably not as much, because it was very much of the 90s and the type of humor and stuff like that. Or just the look. People now, they want everything to look shiny and beautiful.

Like Bob's Burgers, Archer. That's like the quality of animation that we do get. Where Salkpark wasn't about the animation. It was about the characters and the dialogue and the jokes and stuff.

So it probably would do well as an internet car. Yeah. And start off at our car network. Like Rob, Rob, Rob, and stuff.

They were like things like that. And I think there's a place where it would have to start off looking like the South Park we have now. Not like the South Park we do have. And I do think it might struggle.

Because the audience of today is not the audience of the 90s. We are completely sensitized. We are completely, we get the joke. And a lot of people of the generation now kind of get the joke.

And I feel like it wouldn't land. Salkpark was actually, it's a redundant question. Salkpark was instrumental in desensitizing us. That is so true.

I think there's an episode in the season. I've got North here somewhere in season five. Yeah, six five. At the same time on US television, Chicago Hope was the first TV show.

It broadcast the word shit on Sensit and the TV show. In South Park, they go to the like Randy, he's made the poll to watch the word shit be broadcast on TV for the first time. In that episode of South Park, they say shit 162 times. On Sensit, every time they do it, they have a counter in the corner that says, which said shit once, we said shit 10 times 162.

And it was like, let's not make a big deal about saying shit. Let's say it's so much that it's irrelevant. It's not a big thing. We've taken the power out of the word shit.

And I'm like, that changes television. That pushes all its whether it's about or worse, but it absolutely changes. You go, can they make it now? And you go, well, what TV shows made it all kits a shit?

What changed it? Yeah. It's an interesting, like, we have a lot of news. As you said, yeah, but comment on it tonight.

Is this happens when you have them on two weeks in a row? Coming back to that point as well though, because as I said, because South Park desensitizing us, so if we didn't have South Park then, would we have shows like Family Guy or Archer or like, even like, Rick and Morty type thing, would we have that type of humor or levels where people are pushing boundaries of, let's be honest, taste and what they can get through the senses at times? Yeah. It's really hard to say because of how long it's been going.

Would the starting points for them, would they have even carried the same way that South Park did? I don't know how it answered that really. Mm-hmm. Well, I mean, the hard part.

Family Guy was two years after South Park, wasn't it? That was like 99, sort of 2000, wasn't it? I don't know whether like, they look like, copied off them directly, but maybe he's like, is it what is he name? Except for father.

Except for father. I was going to say a separate father, like, is that something else but North Imperson. He must have taken some ideas of South Park. Yeah.

That's two of them, yeah. It's got to be a special. It's not sort of like, sort of, offensive way. He's not having it the same time.

Yeah, he's not overly offensive. Didn't Family Guy come off the back of his, and I can't believe it's the first time we've actually mentioned this on a product 9-11 incident, because it kind of like changed his whole life he was meant to be on one of the plans. He just got drunk the night before and hung and was hung over. And that kind of like, sparked his whole shit.

I've just given a second chance. I'm going to go do this. And I'm sure, I'm sure Family Guy is off the back of that whole thing. Yeah, he was meant to be on the one that went into the second tower and he was fucked the night before and I'm sure that's where it all spans from.

South Park didn't, obviously. No. I'll be interested in all the, I know I got one of the, like, say, making off TV days and stuff that you get, it's the window, like, how they came up with the ideas and stuff like that. I can't remember it now, I'll be honest.

I wish I did go back and watch it backward. I tried watching quite a few episodes this South Park this week and when you realise the sheer length and breadth of where this show comes from and where it goes, because some of my favourite episodes, like, it's an imagination man. I was like, oh, I'll go back to watch, say, that three episodes special. And when you realise, because to me, that's, like, it feels like it's new episodes.

That's like, season 11 or 12, I think. Yeah. So it's like half the life's on the show. It's like, fuck.

If you want to go back and watch South Park, it is on Paramount Plus. If you want to give us a sponsorship, Paramount Plus. Oh, yes. Oh, sorry.

I was going down there. Let's do that again. Oh, yes. Give us freebies.

Yeah. Um, but if we go back to, like, individual episodes and stuff, like, early stuff looks a lot more different. It looks a lot more darker. It looks like, yeah, like, it's pretty.

It's kind of gritty. And now the newest stuff is all bright and shiny and, like, looks brand new and looks lovely to watch and easy to watch and stuff. Well, I kind of catalyse on that with certain things and where previously, if you're like, the first season, like, the first couple of seasons was like, all individual episodes. There was no arcs.

It was winded. There's like, like, like a V in South Park to the point now where they've got like full season offs like, Mr. Yeah, Mr. Um, Garrison going to be like the new president of the United States, going full from Donald's orange face trunk.

Um, but yes. But do you not think that's easy for them? No one what we've seen on that making of a South Park episode. Do you not think it's like easy for them to like, back out a whole season.

Oh, it was. Not just an individual episode. Like, this is what we're doing in the whole season. But my favorite is the, um, the fantasy game, the play.

You can actually be given that I'm not very good with South Park and the names of things. Um, but the fantasy thing to do is that. It's a true truth. So it's basically like when the goal of the rings, because, um, there's one episode which is absolutely brilliant.

Like similar to what you've just said, I don't know if it's the first time to do Lord the rings, but it is the best poetry of the Lord brings is when they get the porno. And, uh, it's like back to us. Let's nine. I think the porno is called, but like basically the premise is they've been tasked to take over the video or DVD of Lord the Rings for what is to watch for these.

Uh, it's about as a tweak. It's a big bonus. But it's a bunch of shit for us. But it's the watch and his parents give it a put is a go to take it down to there as you watch it.

And he's like sitting down and says, well, this is the best movie ever. And I'm like getting obsessed with it. And then the, the Randy and, uh, I can't remember his wife's name now. Sharon, Sharon realized that they've mixed up the DVDs.

So they send the kids to go and get the DVD back because the cowards basically. And, um, they go in to the DVD of the letters and then put his turns into basically golem. He's like, I press his, I must have my precious. And the hunt.

And then it becomes like the fourth way it has become like ring riffs where they find out that the bottom. Um, um, you know, I'm gonna send basically blessed talk and into because they're the same. Why is it going after this? David, what's so special about it?

So the talk and goes, I'll be the one. I'll go and watch it. And he goes in watching and he comes out and he goes, I don't know if it's any more. I don't know if it's watching.

This is just about, um, but like as a Lord of rings reference and as a Lord of rings, not a Lord of rings fan, I do think this is the best representation of Lord of rings that has ever been made. I love the high end fantasy that they do in this, especially with obviously the stick truth and the, well, gosh, what was the video game one where they end up playing like something like Warcraft and they get absolutely obsessed with it. Yeah. And there's the guy who's a more crap talk.

Have you seen the cosplay come out of that? Yeah. Fantastic man. It's brilliant.

I love them. It's always enough because of the high fantasy stuff. But I love the fact that it all comes back to the secret truth. I have in my head right now the music from the secret truth.

I've played throughout the whole thing. I fucking love that game so much. I actually haven't played any of the new video games. I've played the old ones that came out.

It was in 1964. I wasn't there. Yeah. Yeah.

It was the town was dating over by turkeys. Because remember the thanks game and special where they're doing a frank and Turkey where all the the turkeys turn into zombies and attacked sub park and the festival was like part of it with these little clone person. Yeah. And they're like, oh no, no, the 64 game was based on that.

Wait, you had to run around and stuff like that. It's like a first person shoot. But then they also had Chef's Love Shack, which is more of the mini game quiz game, which means Sunyra was used to play it. But she knows because it was the sun.

I don't even know. Because it's the sun. It was the sun. The sun.

The sun is the game's queen. And then there was South Park Rally, which I never played. But I was just aware of it. Never saw it.

Never saw it in the shop. I wouldn't love to play it. But I remember when the secret truth came, I was, I don't like the second one. Because the change to the bottom.

The truth. The change, I mean, I was doing it around. I was so excited first, honestly, with how good the secret truth was. But the change to the format of the fighting style, all of them.

And I was like, I know that's how they were like, oh, you're using stuff. And I'm like, well, I want to go back to the simpler version of how you do it with just pressing buttons and your favorite character. And that's what it is. I have to go fight with buttons.

But talking about the games though, because I know I did it around them extremely a month ago. That is just reminders in the chat. Well, I was just playing like a dodgy stickway play on all the amulators and stuff. And I played actually the N64 South Park game.

Oh, I get it. The controls is horrible. I'll be honest with you. Anything under 64 control was horrible.

But sorry, Jake. I would like to say there was in the options for that game, there were two control outs. And there were both puns on other N64 games. You have the Golden Eye controller out and the joke was brown eye.

And the other one was too rough. But I can't remember what the joke was. Oh, I do remember what the joke was. Yeah, so I did enjoy it.

There was two, but like the premise was, you had to kill the turkeys with snowballs. But you could piss on as well. Yeah, that was a super power. You pissed on it, you threw yellow snowballs at the turkeys.

Oh my god. It sounds, I can't remember that at all. I was never an N64 person anyway. I did play the club out with the PlayStation.

I believe when the N64 was going down and like, say PlayStation top buying out, all the licenses. But I actually have both the games of Stikitruth on digital and on it. So just in case. The arc of games, I love the storyline.

But when we get introduced like in the show side of things, when they do the Avengers and kind of see it, one of the best bad guys I can say as but as Professor Kios is just a fucking thing. You make a character in the game, I love them. It just goes in, but then when they do, there's an episode where the kids see themselves as. And butters is like this muscle bound monster bad guy.

The coon is like this, and they have these really cinematic comic book style fights. But then it goes back to cutscenes and it's just like them two going, yeah, yeah. That's great. No, I thought it was still the game to talk about.

No, no, this is in the show. This was the show version. This is the show with weapons. Yes.

So like it's got Ren's ginger watching what they're doing. It's in that episode. Oh, I can't put just star in his eye. Oh, no.

Little dude, I've got a statue of him. So I think he's an ant's bedroom. And I think he doesn't quite go with my insta-ding decor behind us. Is that the episode where he's dressed up as the dog?

Yes. I think he would do an ant's bedroom. It's in the dog pump climb. And then the vets come in to kill him.

And then they're like, oh, he's gone. Well, let's just kill one of these other dogs. Oh, no. Oh, no.
