Brown Sugar Rewind & Falling in Love With Hip Hop: Life Lessons, Comfort Shows & Gratitude · My Third Place Pod

• 0:00
  Horrible. Here's what I saw about Allergic
• 0:04
  Chamber. I forgot what time it started.
• 0:08
  I got there at CM Punk and Finn Balor saw the stupid crate
• 0:16
  reveal. They would never put a freaking
• 0:18
  person in their freaking crate for three weeks.
• 0:21
  Pissed me off. I wasn't expecting a lot, but
• 0:25
  whatever. No, that was dumb.
• 0:27
  Everybody like I saw reactions of it.
• 0:29
  It's like Oh my God, like I guess you know, they want the
• 0:46
  positive reactions. The crowd was Boo, the streamers
• 0:52
  were like yay, I'm like he's from AW right think it would go
• 0:59
  popular, but it was just horrible like they could have
• 1:03
  done something else with the crate.
• 1:05
  But all right, I guess here he goes.
• 1:10
  There goes that story. They now like, they basically
• 1:16
  freaking what's it called? Horse woggled it.
• 1:22
  They basically Hornswoggled it. If you don't know what owners
• 1:24
  woggled means, it's because anything that WE did and
• 1:28
  storyline wise the past 20 years and they didn't know how to
• 1:33
  finish it, they would have a Hornswoggle.
• 1:37
  They would add Hornswoggle in the middle of it.
• 1:40
  Who is Vince McMahon's legitimate son?
• 1:42
  It was supposed to be Mr. Kennedy, but then Mr. Kennedy
• 1:47
  got fired, so let's add in Hornswoggle.
• 1:50
  Yay. Who was supposed to be the raw,
• 1:56
  anonymous, raw general manager on the computer every time?
• 2:02
  Maybe for like, I don't know, a year and a half, two years, I
• 2:06
  don't know how long that was who, and somebody ended up being
• 2:11
  it. It was Hornswoggle underneath
• 2:14
  the ring with a computer of his own typing like Wizard of Oz.
• 2:21
  If you don't know how to finish your storyline, let's
• 2:23
  Hornswoggle it here. We don't know how to finish your
• 2:27
  the crate storyline, Hornswoggle.
• 2:31
  Now we're going to get Dan Housing because he puts a curse.
• 2:37
  Yeah. How do I know about this?
• 2:39
  Because he's fucking annoying. Yeah, we called it.
• 2:49
  I also call CM Punk, but I wasn't expecting AJ Lee to win.
• 2:54
  I was just like, oh damn, they really let 2 Chicago people win
• 2:58
  on tonight, huh? Then we are Ripley one.
• 3:01
  I'm like, oh, hey, wow, mommy won.
• 3:05
  That's great. Anyway, all right, let's start
• 3:09
  this. Let's start it.
• 3:12
  There's my My Elevation Chamber review, the new power couple of
• 3:22
  seven out of 10, six out of 10. I guess there's something about
• 3:29
  the last day of February that always feels like the end of a
• 3:31
  chapter you didn't realize you were finishing.
• 3:34
  Like the final page of a spiral notebook half filled with
• 3:36
  doodles. School reminders that OneNote
• 3:38
  that just says don't forget to call after 7 when minutes are
• 3:41
  free. The calendar's about to split.
• 3:44
  My calendar's up there on the 28th.
• 3:46
  March is peeking around the corner.
• 3:48
  Spring break energies in the air, backpacks getting lighter,
• 3:51
  group chats getting louder, and the subtle feeling that the year
• 3:53
  is finally starting to stretch his legs.
• 3:57
  Welcome back to my third place. Not home, not work, but the
• 4:01
  familiar in between, where nostalgia lives comfortably and
• 4:05
  conversations feel like sitting on the edge of your bed with TV
• 4:08
  on low and nowhere else you need to be.
• 4:12
  It's episode 280, a solo living room hang this time.
• 4:17
  No Co host chatter in the background, just me, the mic,
• 4:20
  the memories and whatever chaos decides to knock on the door mid
• 4:23
  recording. That also means 20 more
• 4:26
  episodes. There's a big 300.
• 4:30
  I can't wait. 300 episodes. Episode 300 coming real soon.
• 4:37
  Tonight is the last day of February, which means we're
• 4:40
  closing out the month the only way we know how, with
• 4:43
  reflections, reactions, nostalgic tangents, and that
• 4:46
  cozy late night comfort show is playing in the background kind
• 4:50
  of energy. We're cracking open the pod
• 4:53
  decks once again, and this one might expose us a little bit.
• 4:57
  Finish the sentence. What did you get in trouble for
• 5:00
  when we were young? That's dramatic headline
• 5:03
  moments, The real relatable trouble that you knew better.
• 5:07
  The why would you even try that moment, The kind of stories that
• 5:11
  endlessly transport you back to hearing your full government
• 5:14
  name echo from another room. I'm not telling you mine.
• 5:18
  I'm not telling you mine. We're reacting to Elimination
• 5:21
  Chamber at the moment. The surprise of the prediction
• 5:23
  we got right and the ones we're currently pretending we never
• 5:26
  left our mouth because wrestling reaction always hit different
• 5:29
  once the Road to WrestleMania officially kicked into high
• 5:32
  gear. Then we got one of those Wait,
• 5:35
  hold on, is this real? Headlines.
• 5:37
  Floyd Mayweather tossing out a challenge of Mike Tyson.
• 5:40
  My next division match. The kind of match up that feels
• 5:43
  less like real life and more like something we would have set
• 5:46
  up in the fighting game character select screen just to
• 5:48
  see what chaos and stats would create.
• 5:52
  And Speaking of chaos, we grew up on the Scary Movie trailers
• 5:55
  dropping during Scream 7, and we're already trying to guess
• 5:59
  which films are about to get lovingly roasted this time
• 6:01
  around, because parody season always brings back the early
• 6:04
  2000s sleepover energy, quoting scenes, rewinding jokes, and
• 6:09
  arguing over which Spoop hit the hardest.
• 6:12
  We're also closing out Black History Month with a revisit to
• 6:15
  Brown Sugar, a film about love, passion, music, and that
• 6:19
  timeless question, What did you fall in love with what you love?
• 6:24
  When did you fall in love with what you love?
• 6:28
  On top of all that, we got a haul energy tonight, Pokémon
• 6:32
  card pull recap, a comic book spotlight, and two physical
• 6:35
  media DVDs that instantly time probably back to whatever
• 6:39
  wandering video store aisles flipping cases over and hoping
• 6:43
  the movie you wanted wasn't already checked out.
• 6:47
  Plus, we finally tallied up the comfort TV shows you all run
• 6:51
  back to when life gets upwhelming, and we got the
• 6:54
  official top 15 list. And because we couldn't help
• 6:58
  ourselves, we're breaking down what your top five says about
• 7:00
  you. Your background noise, security
• 7:03
  blankets, your emotional reset buttons, Your.
• 7:06
  I just need something familiar on pics.
• 7:09
  Yeah, they might be telling on you a little bit.
• 7:13
  All that plus room for whatever news decides to sneak in and
• 7:17
  hijack the conversation. Because before we hit record,
• 7:20
  because let's be honest, that always happens.
• 7:23
  So whether you're counting down the spring break, wrapping up
• 7:26
  the shortest Mother year, or just looking for a place to sit,
• 7:30
  laugh, and let nostalgia run the background for a while, you're
• 7:34
  in the right place. This is episode 280 of the MP3
• 7:38
  Podcast. Let's get into it.
• 7:42
  How are we doing tonight? How are we doing this week?
• 7:45
  How was your week? How was every week week, the
• 7:51
  week, the week? The week was fine.
• 7:52
  I didn't get a migraines this week at all so been drinking
• 7:57
  lots of water lately because next week next weekend I get to
• 8:01
  Joe to do my A1C y'all know how that goes?
• 8:08
  Got to give blood. They take my blood, tell me what
• 8:17
  I need to improve on, what I need to do, all that stuff.
• 8:21
  Then I get to see the doctor on Tuesday or Monday or Tuesday
• 8:24
  that week, that weekend, the week, next week, in two weeks.
• 8:31
  So far, I've been good. I've been good.
• 8:33
  I've been, I've been very good. I feel like you're going to do
• 8:38
  great this time. I hope so.
• 8:39
  I'm going to do great. I feel like I I've done great.
• 8:46
  Another feeling that I got is because shirts have been shirts
• 8:51
  have been fitting well. Like those shirts that I have in
• 8:58
  the closet that I don't wear anymore, like I put them back on
• 9:04
  like, oh look, it, it fits. It's like muscly, you know, and
• 9:11
  I feel good about it. So I'm like, all right, cool.
• 9:14
  I'm what? We're going to do this.
• 9:17
  I haven't done anything bad. I did buy spaghetti, but I'm not
• 9:22
  going to make it until the day of the day after so that I can
• 9:26
  be like, you know, celebrate. That's my celebration food.
• 9:31
  Spaghetti is my celebration food.
• 9:32
  Carbs. Hell yeah.
• 9:34
  So what? We're heading into March.
• 9:37
  Love it. Ended up going to get some stuff
• 9:42
  earlier. Somebody comic book.
• 9:54
  So we all know how I love Marvel Rivals and anything Marvel
• 9:58
  Rivals on a comic book. I'll go get it.
• 10:02
  So I ended up getting another Jeff comic book, but this time
• 10:07
  it's called It's Jeff Meets daredevil #1 There were two
• 10:11
  covers. The first one has just like a
• 10:12
  normal cover for Daredevil and he's meeting Jeff.
• 10:17
  The second one is the Jaws remake Jaws cover comic book
• 10:22
  cover and it's reversed. Is Jeff swimming and Daredevil
• 10:34
  doing the Jaws going up? I can only show you that.
• 10:44
  There you go. Anyway.
• 10:48
  And then on the inside, it looks like it's a Jeff comic book.
• 10:53
  So it's all like, you know, it's not like a Daredevil comic book
• 10:57
  where it's pretty and the colors and all that is dark and
• 11:00
  everything. It's actually fun.
• 11:03
  It's a fun book. So yeah, I can't wait to read
• 11:08
  it. You're asking why only one comic
• 11:13
  book? Because that's the only one I
• 11:14
  wanted. I didn't care about the other
• 11:15
  ones. Another thing that I got where
• 11:21
  Pokémon cards, of course, always go for those.
• 11:24
  Yesterday was Pokémon Day. We got to learn a lot about
• 11:30
  Pokémon Day. What's it called Pokémon the
• 11:40
  next game waves and wins coming out next year.
• 11:47
  Unfortunately we have to wait a whole year, 2027 for Pokémon
• 11:53
  wins and waves on the switch too.
• 11:56
  And with that they gave us 3 new pokemons.
• 12:02
  So Gen. 10 is going to have like what possibly another hundred
• 12:06
  set? Another hundred pokemons where
• 12:09
  at 1025 they decided we're going to get like 100 more.
• 12:15
  Here's what they revealed. Brout is a grass starter, Pom
• 12:23
  Bomb is fire and he is like a little Pomeranian and Gecko is a
• 12:29
  water type. So cute, love it.
• 12:35
  Brow is bean chick Pokémon type grass.
• 12:39
  He's one inch 3 meters 7 lbs ability to grow.
• 12:45
  A pompon is a puppy Pokémon, fire type 14 lbs ability to
• 12:51
  blaze and then geckos, A water gecko Pokémon which is a water
• 12:57
  type 9.5 lbs and then his ability is a torrent.
• 13:03
  So yeah, for next year's Pokémon Windsor wave, it's going to be
• 13:06
  great. And can't wait for that Shin
• 13:10
  rods in the building. What's going on brother?
• 13:12
  How you doing? What else?
• 13:18
  The cards that I got. Here we go.
• 13:26
  I'm going to go real quick on these, OK?
• 13:30
  I don't even know if you can see them on here.
• 13:31
  Oh, well, you know what right there?
• 13:33
  Blissy Teal Mask over pawn do to die X Mel Metal X Tyranitar X
• 13:47
  Yeah, the only one that you can't see it because of the
• 13:49
  glare. Mag Cargo X Blue over Pawn X
• 14:00
  Killer watch Relax Maraidon X Brilliant Blender Bombardier X
• 14:13
  Houndstone X Flamingo X Blissy Clefairy Clefairy for the Rock
• 14:27
  and then that one Rotom X and or form X OK, that's it.
• 14:45
  I have a switch, but I'm not going to like I'll probably buy
• 14:48
  a switch too by the end of next year.
• 14:51
  I'm going to go and describe raw.
• 14:54
  They're so cool looking. All the pretties.
• 14:56
  Yes. All right, let's open up the
• 15:01
  group chat. It's time for pod decks.
• 15:04
  Yeah, that's all I bought. Oh, no.
• 15:06
  Well, you can. Yeah.
• 15:08
  Should we do it now? Let's do it now.
• 15:12
  Physical media, because we're all about physical media here,
• 15:16
  obviously. And like I went looking for last
• 15:21
  week I bought Mortal Kombat but I ended up getting Mortal Kombat
• 15:24
  Reboot and then Annihilation. So today I went and got me a
• 15:31

• 15:49
  Next one is special edition bad boys movie.

  bad boys. Cue gear entrance music.
• 16:11
  Bad boys, bad boys, what you going to do $100 million worth
• 16:14
  of complicated heroin has just been jacked from police custody.
• 16:17
  Once the career bust of Detectives Michael Lowry and
• 16:20
  Marcus Burnett, the missing drugs now trying to shut down
• 16:23
  the chronic division of the Miami Police Department when the
• 16:26
  drug investigation turns deadly. The murderers kidnapped the only
• 16:29
  witness a beautiful police performant Taylor Leone and
• 16:32
  close friend of the boys. And things that personal fast
• 16:34

  A great movie. I love the franchise.
• 17:17
  I need to watch 3 and 4 again 'cause I love those, but you
• 17:20
  know, 1 and 2 I'm going to have to go get #2 once I find it,
• 17:25
  once I know where it's at. And where did I get it from 2nd
• 17:33

• 17:39
  Anyway, those are the only two physical media blooms that I
• 17:42
  got. Y'all know that I got like last
• 17:44
  week's soul food and a Mortal Kombat Annihilation and that's
• 17:50
  about it. All right, let's do pod X.
• 17:53
  Let's open up the group chat. Each week we ask the community a
• 17:57
  question and bring you answers back to react to live.
• 17:59
  Turning the show into one big conversation.
• 18:05
  Last week we asked a few more questions than that.
• 18:08
  Top five people who shaped your life.
• 18:11
  Bella loves Goddess again, says my grandmother.
• 18:15
  Mom's side, both my mom and dad. Of course, my therapist.
• 18:18
  But the biggest of all is my kid Belle love goddess.
• 18:22
  Thank you for answering. She's one of one of the few that
• 18:26
  comes to the live as well. He hangs out here with us.
• 18:31
  She was asking about why am I asking all these questions are
• 18:35
  like, oh, because you know, we do this like it's a it's a nice
• 18:39
  breaker. Politics is a nice breaker where
• 18:42
  we ask new people or old people or you know, the original song
• 18:47
  here, the ones that stay here all the time.
• 18:49
  The questions and the answer pack the MPP community.
• 18:54
  Jane, who was just in here earlier, says my grandpa, dad's
• 18:57
  side, grandma, mom's side, my parents and my four friends.
• 19:01
  Menace, says my mom, my friend Linda, my 12th grade psychology
• 19:05
  economic teacher, Mr. Tag, my 4th grade teacher, Mr.
• 19:08
  Brantonio, and my high school band teacher, Mr. Fulmer.
• 19:12
  And then LB says grandparents, mom's side, mom, siblings.
• 19:22
  I was supposed to answer this. I was supposed to answer this
• 19:25
  too. Never got a chance to.
• 19:27
  So top five people shaped my life.
• 19:29
  Obviously my mom. I always say my mom, my mom
• 19:31
  first. My mom goes first, always taught
• 19:36
  me how to cook, taught me, you know, just how to drive, taught
• 19:43
  me everything. Like, for my mom was just like,
• 19:49
  well, yeah, you know, doing both jobs as a parent.
• 19:52
  It's like mom and dad, she's all like, trying to tell me about
• 19:57
  girls. And I'm just like, no, no, you
• 20:00
  can't help. Sorry.
• 20:03
  But at the same time, she was doing great.
• 20:06
  She was doing her job. I was like.
• 20:13
  You know it just in case if you find somebody doesn't know how
• 20:16
  to cook, you know how to cook, you know how to do this, you
• 20:18
  know how to do that. You know how to do this because
• 20:20
  I'm teaching you. I was like, oh, fine, OK, let's
• 20:22
  go, let's go, let's do this. So that's my mom.
• 20:31
  Who else? I know I said it already and
• 20:35
  like I'm blanking it. My Leanna says mom, my aunt, my
• 20:39
  grandma, my friend Jennifer, and my mom's bestie Trina, who was
• 20:42
  like a mom to me. If you want to read mine, I
• 20:43
  already read yours. I'm reading yours.
• 20:46
  I'm reading yours. All right.
• 20:48
  Next one is going to be my high school English teacher, one of
• 20:55
  my high school English teachers because I had two.
• 20:58
  The reason I had two because the first one, the one that I'm
• 21:01
  going to mention, I had her for for three years, freshman,
• 21:06
  sophomore and junior. I didn't have her for my senior
• 21:11
  year, but I chose to have her as selective as a, you know, like
• 21:16
  why do you want to go back to her?
• 21:17
  Because I miss her, dude. She's my favorite English
• 21:21
  teacher ever. That's why I want to go back to
• 21:22
  her. Instead, I became a a teacher's
• 21:27
  assistant where I like fucking help with all the fucking work
• 21:34
  and all this shit. And she's like during book I
• 21:40
  have I'm like, I'm going through those whole things.
• 21:43
  I'm going it's like fast forwarding and come back.
• 21:47
  All right, So Mrs. Bush reason why?
• 21:51
  Because like, she would have books all the time and she would
• 21:56
  make the class read it. And this is the class that's
• 21:59
  freshman class. And like she, she asked me to
• 22:03
  say we're doing a read. But I was like, yeah, sure.
• 22:04
  All right. So I'm like, I am, I'm like
• 22:07
  directing the class What to say? Like here you say this, say
• 22:10
  that, you say this. And she's like, see, I knew
• 22:13
  you're gonna fucking help me. So like, hell yeah, you know?
• 22:17
  But at the start of it, the first three years were awesome.
• 22:22
  Like she's the one that's like said, go up because I would
• 22:27
  always have problems with not being able to read oral reports.
• 22:33
  Like if you read the oral report, if you read the report
• 22:38
  book report and you do it orally in front of class, I'll give you
• 22:40
  extra credit. And I'd be like, Nah, I'm good.
• 22:44
  Anything like every Friday, what's going on in the news,
• 22:51
  come up to the front and, you know, talk to us, Tell us what's
• 22:55
  going on in the news. Tell us why you decided to do
• 22:58
  this part of news. And, you know, how does that
• 23:00
  make you feel? Everybody did it.
• 23:03
  I did it once. I'm just like fucking scared the
• 23:05
  entire time. And then I just decided to turn
• 23:07
  it in without doing all that stuff.
• 23:11
  And she knew, she knew I was like, no, I don't want to do it.
• 23:13
  Like, all right, I passed anyways.
• 23:18
  She also had for my sophomore year, she had a student
• 23:25
  assistant where he like I thought I forgot to answer you
• 23:30
  didn't that an old that comment old see, I'm nervous where she
• 23:39
  was like telling the teacher the student teacher, student
• 23:45
  teacher. He was military, and he would
• 23:50
  always get under our skin and tell us like, you know, do this,
• 23:53
  do that and do this and that. So he made us do a project where
• 23:58
  we would have to change a poem, a song, a speech, everything
• 24:03
  into peace, into a peaceful poem, peaceful protest, peaceful
• 24:09
  something. And it would come from Gandhi's
• 24:11
  perspective. We were being talked about, you
• 24:16
  know, we were being taught Gandhi and said at the time, wow
• 24:21
  and shit, we were being taught Gandhi stuff at the time,
• 24:24
  peaceful pros and all that stuff.
• 24:26
  So biggest thing up from him is that he told me, you know, do
• 24:31
  what your mind thinks is right. So hydrate, yes.
• 24:38
  So, so I ended up doing that. He told me like he asked like
• 24:55
  hey, what do you, what do you have?
• 24:57
  Josh, how you doing man? He told, he asked me like what
• 24:59
  do you have? I was like, all right, here's my
• 25:01
  2 stuff. Here's my 2 projects.
• 25:06
  He's like, all right, what are they?
• 25:08
  So like 2 of them about peace. I changed the lyrics of the
• 25:12
  song. One of them is Selena dreaming
• 25:14
  of you. It became dreaming of peace.
• 25:16
  The other one was Coolio's The Parrot Gangster's Paradise, that
• 25:27
  one into pitiful Paradise. So I changed the lyrics for
• 25:31
  everything, all that stuff, and he's all laughing about it.
• 25:34
  It's like Sada was awesome. Sada was great.
• 25:36
  And then he looks at me. He's all like, do you know who
• 25:39
  Weirdo Yankee? I was like, yeah, I do.
• 25:42
  He's one of my favorite. It's like, that's what just
• 25:46
  reminded me of You did great, you did awesome.
• 25:49
  You're going to get an A+, but I want you to use this outlet of
• 25:56
  yours and use it for good. You know, keep doing this, keep
• 26:01
  writing, keep talking about what you love and doing all that
• 26:03
  kinds of stuff. And I did it right after that.
• 26:07
  I ended up like writing, having fan fiction, stuff about
• 26:12
  wrestling and writing and stuff and E fetting.
• 26:16
  And it was all because of him because he told me to do it.
• 26:19
  He told me to write stories, and I did.
• 26:23
  So. Yeah.
• 26:24
  So that's two. That's three.
• 26:26
  Actually. That's three now, because, you
• 26:28
  know, with him being a part of that shaped my life as well. 4th
• 26:34
  1 is Mr. Hayasaka. Some of you know this story,
• 26:43
  some of you don't. Mr. Hayasaka of Korean, North
• 26:48
  Korean, My soccer coach, my driver's Ed teacher, my sex Ed
• 27:08
  teacher. So it was awkward as hell.
• 27:13
  And then my, this man knows Spanish, like fluent Spanish.
• 27:21
  This man is like Josh said. It was that your Mr. Miyagi, My
• 27:30
  Mr. Miyagi with my Missus Miyagi.
• 27:32
  That's Missus Bush. That was my English teacher.
• 27:34
  This guy was just like, what are you doing?
• 27:38
  Like I'm making you, I'm getting you ready for the future.
• 27:42
  I'm like, huh? And I didn't know he spoke
• 27:46
  Spanish until like, other students started talking to him
• 27:48
  in Spanish and fluently and like in full sentences.
• 27:52
  This man had more dialect than I ever did.
• 27:55
  And I'm just like, OK, but when he gave you fucking packet, when
• 28:06
  he gave you your homework for a driver's Ed, it was a packet.
• 28:13
  And I'm just like, is this, this can't be what they're going to
• 28:17
  give us, what they're going to give us on driver's Ed.
• 28:19
  Well, are they? Are they in life?
• 28:21
  They will do that to you. No, it's not what they're dying
• 28:25
  right now. Don't die in life.
• 28:28
  There's there. It wasn't what they gave me
• 28:31
  driver's Ed, but he had it. He said, here, you have to
• 28:35
  finish this. I'm like, no, I don't.
• 28:39
  Only you, Sir. Only you, Mr. Isaac, only you.
• 28:42
  So he did that for sex Ed. He made us freaking watch the
• 28:49
  birth of a baby, which is beautiful, beautiful thing ever.
• 28:57
  And we're just sitting there. The guys are just sitting there
• 28:59
  the entire time just watching the scene.
• 29:01
  And here comes the head. Here comes the entire body.
• 29:04
  And then it comes out and we're just like, yes, that's fucking
• 29:12
  awesome. That's so beautiful.
• 29:14
  When I start crying and everybody's like, you can't
• 29:16
  like, no, it's fucking awesome. It was great for freaking as a
• 29:25
  soccer coach for both English and Spanish students.
• 29:30
  He's talking in Spanish and the other coach like in front of us
• 29:34
  that are like assistant coach was fine, like, oh, you know,
• 29:37
  Spanish, it's great. The other coach that were like
• 29:40
  against us and said like, you know, like what what is going
• 29:45
  on? We didn't win games.
• 29:47
  But at the same time he was like the coach for the both girls and
• 29:51
  boys soccer team. And then like the girls soccer
• 29:53
  team, we just killed it. They they killed it because I
• 29:56
  was like I was helping out too as well.
• 30:04
  So that was my fourth one. My fifth one is freaking Long
• 30:07
  story short, Mr. Lodge, my health teacher was eating his
• 30:11
  lunch while having it on. I'm surprised is my fifth one is
• 30:16
  Missus Wu. She was my menace.
• 30:21
  What you said was audio visual class.
• 30:25
  We would have it was in recording.
• 30:31
  It was like a what's it called broadcasting class where we
• 30:35
  would record. It's a neglect of also.
• 30:40
  But at the same time, I knew about this class in sophomore
• 30:44
  freshman year and like I only they gave it to me in senior
• 30:49
  year and we were all like, you know, take turns bitty filming
• 30:56
  all this stuff, news, anything that had to do with the school
• 31:00
  football team, basketball team, soccer team, anything that does
• 31:06
  do with sports. Everything we would always like
• 31:09
  also have to they would also have to record us, you know, on
• 31:17
  this on the desk talking to you guys and all that stuff.
• 31:22
  So it was getting us ready for doing this stuff and she was OK
• 31:27
  with it and she she was my favorite because like I got a
• 31:36
  freaking A+ another class too. I would always do everything.
• 31:39
  I was like, edit, produce, put music in film report.
• 31:49
  I would do all of it. Guy like higher than the entire
• 31:53
  class. Roderick was there.
• 31:56
  He was just in here. He was in just in here as well.
• 31:59
  But he he was in that class as well.
• 32:01
  And he was like, like, loved every moment of it too.
• 32:05
  Like he would tell you like hell yeah.
• 32:07
  It was a great fucking class. That's where whenever we had off
• 32:13
  time, he would record Monday raw and then the next day said bring
• 32:19
  it into class and like we would watch it because I didn't have
• 32:22
  cable. They did.
• 32:24
  And so we would just sit there like the entire time, just
• 32:26
  fucking hanging out, watching raw, like alright, who's next?
• 32:30
  Who, who, who has to do stuff next?
• 32:32
  Who has to go and film or record or report and like you take
• 32:37
  turns going back and forth and stuff.
• 32:39
  And then if I was doing something else, if I was on the
• 32:42
  field, then they would end up watching it.
• 32:45
  And it's once the class was over.
• 32:47
  He's like, here, that's how the whole just tape distribution
• 32:50
  thing came from where like, I didn't have cable, but they did.
• 32:53
  So he would let me borrow the tape of the wrestling.
• 32:56
  And then I watch it. And then like the next, the
• 32:58
  entire week, like, all right, here you go.
• 33:00
  And they, like, pass it all around to everybody.
• 33:02
  But hell yeah. Oh, that's fun.
• 33:05
  It's going to be lots of edit, either lots of editing or just
• 33:09
  lots of crazy stuff. Where are we?
• 33:16
  43 minutes in? Oh, man.
• 33:21
  And I'm doing this by myself. That's crazy.
• 33:25
  OK, so that's top five people who shaped my life.
• 33:30
  Mom, my mom, my English teacher, my English teacher's assistant
• 33:38
  student teacher, my coach, health teacher, driver, that
• 33:44
  teacher, that's three, that's four.
• 33:49
  I mean, and my audio visual teacher, like, you know, she got
• 33:55
  me ready to do this because I love doing this.
• 33:59
  I love doing the podcast and like they got me ready to like
• 34:04
  present to be able to do news and stuff and you know, me doing
• 34:11
  the news and like getting in trouble for saying suck it to
• 34:14
  the teachers. But yeah, as I was before that,
• 34:23
  the reason I got in trouble is because I got caught or because
• 34:26
  I said this like suck it and I and then misses who came back
• 34:30
  and saw like do it again. Like all right, so I did the
• 34:34
  original way, the the abnormal way and normal send off and
• 34:38
  that's it, you know, and whoever was editing that episode and
• 34:44
  having me do the suck it motion at the camera after we left so
• 34:49
  that end up being there, I almost got suspended.
• 34:53
  They told me he's like, you know, we got you on film too.
• 34:56
  And I was like, well, you know, why don't you ask the person who
• 35:00
  edited? Because that wasn't what I had,
• 35:04
  what I was supposed to do, you know, So they got the whole, the
• 35:12
  rough draft of it, the copy of it, and they saw me doing a
• 35:17
  normal way and I didn't get in trouble for it.
• 35:18
  I guess, like the tension, that's it, but not bad.
• 35:24
  All right. Anyways, all right, everybody
• 35:30
  was coming in. Thank you for staying hanging
• 35:32
  out and stuff. Appreciate it.
• 35:34
  Finish the sentence. If you were in trouble, you
• 35:36
  probably did. My Elle does what she wants,
• 35:43
  says my smart mouth is what got me in trouble all the time and
• 35:46
  skipping school. Jane says I was a good girl back
• 35:49
  then. Remember, she was a good girl
• 35:53
  back then. She was MFLB, says I didn't do
• 35:59
  my chores. Usually I'd come home and go
• 36:02
  out. High school was my best time
• 36:05
  lol, Tabitha says smoking. That's about it.
• 36:14
  If I was in trouble, I'd probably ditched school.
• 36:23
  Here's what happened y'all ready for this?
• 36:26
  Y'all ready for this here's what happened.
• 36:32
  I got out on time. You know, I got out.
• 36:35
  I left school, I left home to go to school, to go to the bus stop
• 36:42
  to catch the bus and, you know, hopefully I got, you know, to do
• 36:48
  that, but the bus had already left and I'm just like, oh man,
• 36:55
  I guess I'm going back home. No point in just like, what am I
• 37:00
  going to do? Nothing to do.
• 37:02
  So I'm going back home and I'm going to the park and just
• 37:06
  hanging out in the park and stuff, not caring at all.
• 37:09
  Dude, just like, La, La, La, La, la.
• 37:14
  Go back and I see my mom's friend outside and she's all
• 37:20
  talking to me and she's like, what's going on?
• 37:23
  I'm like, no, nothing. Just hearing, you know, like,
• 37:25
  you know, and her kid is just hanging out too.
• 37:28
  And he's like, what are you doing?
• 37:29
  He's like playing. He's like, OK.
• 37:32
  And I'm just like, cool. And I was like, can I come in?
• 37:36
  And he's like, yeah, sure. Like I'm going to go put my
• 37:39
  backpack in the house. Like, all right, go for that.
• 37:44
  I didn't put my backpack in the house.
• 37:47
  I went over there and my neighbor, the landlord of the
• 37:52
  place, had a big ass UPS truck because he was fucking that.
• 37:59
  So I placed the backpack under the truck and I went back to the
• 38:06
  house, over there, to the neighbor's house, and I started
• 38:09
  playing with the kid, you know, hanging out with him.
• 38:12
  We were watching Grease too. We were watching all this stuff.
• 38:16
  You're watching cartoons and all this shit and that.
• 38:20
  Knowing that, she called my mom and told her that I was there in
• 38:23
  the house. So like, she kept asking me
• 38:28
  like, does your mom know your hair?
• 38:29
  Like, yeah, I just told her. Oh, OK, all right, sure.
• 38:35
  No, she did not. So I hear a knock at the door
• 38:40
  and I'm just like, the fucking spider sense is tingling.
• 38:43
  And I'm just like, oh, why do I know?
• 38:47
  Like that little sense of danger, danger Will Robinson,
• 38:52
  danger freaking. He opens the door.
• 38:58
  Here comes my mom's like, oh, what you doing here?
• 39:01
  Hi. Like, what the hell, dude?
• 39:07
  I my the bus. I missed the bus.
• 39:13
  It's like you did. It's like, yeah, I did.
• 39:14
  I missed the bus. So why did you come home?
• 39:16
  I did. You didn't open the door.
• 39:19
  I got caught. And she saw like, I didn't open
• 39:22
  the door. Like, no, you didn't open the
• 39:25
  door. So I was like, you know what?
• 39:27
  Nobody's home. I thought you weren't home.
• 39:29
  I'm lying and lying and lying. And I'm just like, oh, my God.
• 39:36
  Neighbor says you just told me. She said it was OK.
• 39:45
  Bro, you know when you you get in trouble and you drive home,
• 39:51
  it's a silent, silent ride, how it's awkward and like the
• 40:01
  tension is building up and all that.
• 40:06
  I sure do. You sure do.
• 40:09
  Imagine how that feels with no car ride.
• 40:12
  It's just going around. We're going around like little.
• 40:19
  We're right next door. We're right next door.
• 40:24
  Where's your backpack? Go around the pickup truck.
• 40:31
  Grab the backpack. She's like, are you serious?
• 40:34
  You're in trouble. You're grounded.
• 40:41
  I yeah, your ears and face turn around the bus and my ears all
• 40:48
  panicky. Oh my goodness.
• 40:53
  I'm like, umm, she's going to kill me.
• 40:56
  She's going to kick my ass. She's going to kick my ass.
• 40:58
  She's going to kick my ass. We get in the house, she doesn't
• 41:02
  talk to me for like the whole day.
• 41:05
  She does like silent treatment and I'm just like, hi, can I do
• 41:09
  this for you? Can I do that?
• 41:10
  I kissed so much ass because I didn't want her telling him my
• 41:14
  stepfather. And she knew.
• 41:17
  And she's like just wait and damn it.
• 41:28
  Oh, my sister comes home. She's a little kid.
• 41:32
  At the time, she didn't know any better.
• 41:34
  Oh, she's talking to her, all right.
• 41:36
  Not me. OK, That's fine.
• 41:40
  It'll be fine. Oh, finally, you're all like,
• 41:45
  hello. Finally.
• 41:47
  He gets home, and she's making dinner.
• 41:49
  She makes the dinner and everything, and we're all eating
• 41:51
  a table. And it's like, how was your day?
• 41:53
  And I'm just, like, pretending I didn't do anything.
• 41:59
  He looks at me. You done your work.
• 42:00
  Yes. Yeah.
• 42:03
  Just like, and she's like, it's like, what's wrong?
• 42:09
  It's like nothing. She pissed me off.
• 42:12
  She didn't tell him. But at the same time, like, you
• 42:14
  know, it's like fucking gave me that silent treatment.
• 42:17
  Like I'm disappointed in you. And I'm just like, fucking how I
• 42:21
  ended up watching Carmen San Diego on PBS, ignoring
• 42:28
  everything she was telling me, 'cause I'm just watching it.
• 42:30
  And just like, oh, you know, answering the questions.
• 42:34
  She's all like, you're so smart, but how you gonna do that?
• 42:41
  And just like, go, go next door, my friend, and tell who told me
• 42:46
  right away. Like, you knew I was like, yeah,
• 42:51
  how long was it that you knew? She told me right away that you
• 42:56
  were at the house, you know, and I was like, OK, let me clean the
• 43:00
  house first and then go over there and pick you up and then
• 43:02
  come home. It's like I'm busted.
• 43:08
  At the same time. She had to call school and tell
• 43:10
  them that I was sick and all this stuff.
• 43:12
  Like, all right, my mom always knew to, but I never gave in.
• 43:16
  Oh, she she knew. She knew everything.
• 43:19
  I'm just like, what the hell? When do you fall in love with
• 43:22
  what you love? There's already people in there
• 43:26
  that posted some things, Menace says.
• 43:31
  I fell in love with collecting Starbucks tumblers in 2020 and
• 43:33
  have been collecting ever since. Have about 30 cups and counting.
• 43:37
  Wow. Leanna says my job.
• 43:40
  At first I got it for something to just do.
• 43:43
  Three years later I'm loving my job working in the lunchroom and
• 43:45
  getting to know all the kiddos. I didn't realize that you could
• 43:48
  actually teach kiddos new things.
• 43:50
  It may only be as simple as opening a milk, but I love
• 43:53
  watching them eventually doing it their own.
• 43:56
  I also love working with my beautiful daughter and helping
• 43:58
  her grow and achieve new things. Yay, that's lovely, that's
• 44:02
  awesome, love that, that's amazing.
• 44:06
  Leanna says. Side Story to this girl I met
• 44:08
  almost two years ago that also got me into collecting Starbucks
• 44:11
  cups. I now have 5 and about to get my
• 44:15
  6th now. I don't know what I'd do without
• 44:17
  her. Love you Starbucks.
• 44:21
  I love it. I love it.
• 44:26
  When did I fall in love with what I love to do?
• 44:29
  Probably around the time when I kept hearing everybody talking
• 44:33
  about, you know, the, the, the, the whole aspect of podcasting
• 44:40
  is because I heard three guys do it first and they're fucking
• 44:51
  awesome guys. There's and it wasn't I didn't
• 44:55
  hear them at first. It was I was following this
• 44:59
  Blogger on Twitter who would always go to comic conventions
• 45:04
  and everything. And so like just she tweeted out
• 45:09
  that she was going to be on this podcast.
• 45:11
  So she get put up the link and I went in there and I just like
• 45:15
  heard it and I was like, I'm here for her.
• 45:17
  And like, I ended up meeting a whole freaking community.
• 45:22
  And I'm just like, what is this? It's like Walcom is we're, we're
• 45:27
  just a community. We can't, we're three guys that
• 45:33
  used to work for Wizard magazine, those magazines that I
• 45:37
  have still. And you know, the insurance and
• 45:41
  outs of comic books and the comic book conventions and the
• 45:46
  industry. Like we're pop culture.
• 45:49
  It's like, OK, cool, cool, cool. And I think it was around like
• 45:56
  the 30th episode where I started joining in.
• 45:59
  And so I says like, where can I listen to your old episodes?
• 46:03
  So they gave me a whole list and I just pinched on those
• 46:06
  episodes. And then I kept coming back for
• 46:09
  more episodes to to listen to the newer episodes as well.
• 46:17
  And so it wasn't until like a year later where the entire
• 46:23
  community grew and they all decided we're going to
• 46:29
  reconvene, we're going to meet each other at this conventions,
• 46:32
  comic convention. And because it's the first, it's
• 46:38
  the first convention, and they wanted us to do panels and stuff
• 46:42
  and, you know, talk to some people, talk to the voice of
• 46:47
  Batman and do a panel with him. The boys of Batman from the
• 46:52
  anime series. Do we remember him?
• 46:57
  I forgot a name. I'm sorry.
• 47:04
  Kevin Conroy. Yes, Kevin Conroy.
• 47:08
  So they're like, you know, who wants to come and all that
• 47:10
  stuff. And yeah, so we all met up.
• 47:13
  It was a group picture, a picture of all the group in
• 47:17
  there. And we just, it was a small
• 47:20
  group at the time because the next year we did it again.
• 47:23
  And but at this time it grew. It was bigger.
• 47:26
  For this time, though, it was like we met each other.
• 47:29
  We had talked to each other and like, fucking awesome.
• 47:33
  It's like, that's awesome. And ever since I'm just like,
• 47:36
  how do you start a podcast? Because I want to do this too.
• 47:39
  I want to like talk about this. I want to be involved in this.
• 47:41
  I want to do this. I want to talk to this person.
• 47:44
  I want to talk to that person because of that, Because of
• 47:47
  them, I actually got to meet Kevin Conroy, the anime series
• 47:51
  Batman's Voice, and I'm just like, this is fucking awesome.
• 47:56
  Because of this, because I got to meet Kevin Conroy, I had to
• 48:00
  meet wrestlers. I got to meet one of my favorite
• 48:04
  comic book creators. You guys seen the comic books of
• 48:07
  hack slash, The Girl with the Baseball Bat, Tim Seeley.
• 48:11
  I got to meet him, got to talk to him.
• 48:15
  He signed my shirt. We talked to each other on
• 48:17
  Twitter, we got each others Twitter account, we followed
• 48:21
  each other. Because of that moment alone, I
• 48:28
  got to beat 2 people that like ended up being part of my
• 48:33
  fucking routine all the time. We got to see each other.
• 48:37
  And two, because the wife was the person that I met, the comic
• 48:40
  book creator that I met ended up working at the same building
• 48:44
  that I was working at at the time.
• 48:47
  And so we would see each other and she would tell me it's like,
• 48:49
  Oh yeah, my, my husband goes comic books and like he does
• 48:52
  this. And I was like, oh, who's your
• 48:53
  husband? And then she tells me and then
• 48:55
  we meet and I was like, they're best friends.
• 48:57
  They're my fucking favorite people ever.
• 48:59
  They're my best friend because he wanted like, like, it was
• 49:05

• 49:08
  awesome people. Rafael Nevis, Dan Doherty,
• 49:14
  freaking Jim Lee, Kevin Conroy, the wrestlers, Who else?
• 49:23
  A bunch of other people too. I just like, I can't name him
• 49:28
  off the top of my list off the top of my head, but yeah.
• 49:32
  So yeah, like, when did I fall in love with what I love to do?
• 49:39
  20/9/2009 It was freaking awesome.
• 49:44
  And it was the Myspace era and I ended up loving to do
• 49:49
  podcasting, but I didn't know what it was about, how it was
• 49:54
  about or how it would affect my life now because it is the most
• 49:59
  awesome thing ever. I didn't like it.
• 50:03
  It's so it's so freaking awesome.
• 50:06
  I just, I just love doing this. I love talking.
• 50:09
  I love building the community. I love, you know, interacting
• 50:12
  with people and, you know, doing all these interviews later.
• 50:16
  Yes, thank you. I'm awesome at it.
• 50:18
  Thank you. You're awesome at it. 2 minutes.
• 50:21
  You're part of this anyways all right, that's it.
• 50:27
  Where are we an hour so finish. We're we're going with project
• 50:39
  we're done all right, so we're going to we got a lot of stuff
• 50:47
  more stuff to do top five converse shows you rewatch when
• 50:49
  life gets overwhelming. More people answer that question
• 50:53
  like and like I already did the first wave last week.
• 50:58
  Y'all heard it and then 200 more people answered this week, this
• 51:05
  next week and I'm like I, I, I can't that's a lot.
• 51:12
  What should I do? So we we did something.
• 51:19
  So they just keep coming. They still, they're still
• 51:21
  posting it. But you know what?
• 51:23
  It's, it's fine now. You ever notice how when life
• 51:26
  gets loud, overwhelming, and just a little too heavy, we all
• 51:28
  run back to the same place? Not home, not work, but that
• 51:32
  third place, the couch, the glow of a comfort show, the one
• 51:35
  you've been seen 47 times, but somehow it still hits like the
• 51:39
  first watch on the school night in 2003.
• 51:43
  So tonight, pulled straight from the M3P Community Vault, we're
• 51:47
  counting down the top 15 most mentioned comfort TV shows
• 51:51
  people turn to when life gets overwhelming.
• 51:54
  No judgement, no gatekeeping, just vibes, nostalgia, and
• 51:58
  emotional support episodes. All right #15 Charmed because
• 52:08
  sometimes the only way to cope with pretending your problems
• 52:10
  could be solved with a spell and a sisterhood montage #14 Bob's
• 52:15
  Burgers, chaos, comfort food, and a family that's weird in the
• 52:19
  exact way your brain needs when the world feels too serious #13
• 52:25
  New Girl, messy adulthood, chosen family, and the reminder
• 52:29
  that life rarely else to plan and that's OK #12 living single.
• 52:35
  Proof that laughter, friendship, and the living room couch can
• 52:38
  solve more than therapy sometimes #11 Modern Family,
• 52:44
  different families, same love, and the comfort of knowing
• 52:47
  nobody really has it together #10 Grey's Anatomy.
• 52:52
  Because Meredith Grey can survive emotional disasters and
• 52:55
  still show up. Maybe we can too #9 Criminal
• 53:00
  Minds weirdly suiting reminder your life may be chaotic, but at
• 53:04
  least you're not in the BAU case.
• 53:05
  File #8 Full House, a hug and sitcom form, warm kitchen talks,
• 53:13
  life lessons and the emotional equivalent of a blanket.
• 53:16
  Fresh out the dryer #7 Golden Girls sarcasm, cheesecake, and
• 53:23
  the wisdom that life doesn't stop being messy, you just get
• 53:26
  funnier about it #6 Gilmore Girls, coffee field comfort,
• 53:32
  small town calm, and dialogue that moves faster than your
• 53:36
  anxiety spiral #5 The Office. Because watching other people be
• 53:42
  awkward somehow makes our own chaos feel manageable #4 one of
• 53:48
  my favorites. Boy Meets World, life lessons,
• 53:52
  growing pains, and that quiet reminder that every overwhelming
• 53:55
  chapter actually makes sense #3 The Big Bang Theory.
• 54:00
  Predictable laughs, familiar rhythms, and comfort in knowing
• 54:03
  exactly how the joke will land #2 friends, six friends, one
• 54:11
  couch, and the eternal reassurance that found family
• 54:13
  can carry you through anything. And the number one comfort show?
• 54:19
  Supernatural. Yes, the ultimate emotional
• 54:23
  support show. Monsters, Brothers, Rd. trips,
• 54:26
  and the feeling that no matter how dark, it gets someone still
• 54:29
  fighting beside you. So isn't it wild when life
• 54:34
  overwhelms us, we don't reach for new stories.
• 54:37
  We go back to the ones that already saved us once.
• 54:41
  Because comfort shows aren't just entertainment, they're
• 54:43
  memory anchors. They're emotional checkpoints.
• 54:46
  They're the 3rd place where your nervous system finally exhales.
• 54:51
  So today was heavy. Cue the episodes.
• 54:53
  You know by heart. Say the lines out loud, Laugh
• 54:57
  where you always laugh. You're not regressing, you're
• 55:00
  regulating. For me, that's boy me's world.
• 55:05
  I know all the lines. I love all the lines on there.
• 55:08
  I love all the episodes, every episode.
• 55:13
  Topanga you know, like everything from that show I
• 55:19
  love. Same with Girl Meets World is
• 55:22
  because like it continues. Same from same thing with Full
• 55:28
  House and Fuller House, Gilmore Girls.
• 55:31
  Anything that has like the continuation of a show that from
• 55:35
  the first show is still that part of the show.
• 55:52
  All right, I said this earlier for, again, Floyd Mayweather was
• 55:58
  Mike Tyson. It's happening.
• 56:01
  It's yeah. They have agreed to an
• 56:05
  exhibition boxing match tentatively scheduled for April
• 56:08
  25th, 2020. Sixth and the Democratic
• 56:12
  Republic of Congo. The fight, which has been
• 56:15
  described as a major high money exhibition, was announced in
• 56:18
  early 2026 and confirmed by Tyson.
• 56:22
  It is an official exhibit match exhibition match, not a
• 56:24
  professional belt. It marks the return to the
• 56:29
  historic site of the 1974 Rumble in the Jungle, Muhammad Ali.
• 56:33
  You'll know that both fighters are out of retirement for this
• 56:37
  event, with Mike Tyson having fought last spot late 2024 and
• 56:43
  Mayweather continuing his series of exhibitions.
• 56:45
  We all know that. Here's what they said about it.
• 56:51
  Because Mike spot Jake Paul Mayweather is like, saw that he
• 56:59
  was slow and everything and so he thought, OK, I want to fight
• 57:03
  Tyson now. It's not because, hey, I respect
• 57:08
  you. It's because he saw how poorly
• 57:12
  he was fighting a Jake against Jake Paul when in reality it was
• 57:15
  a fixed fight, right? We all know that.
• 57:20
  It's not like, you know, Tyson really lost his step.
• 57:27
  So Mayweather sinks, you know, fighting Jake Paul is real.
• 57:33
  I still think it's not because like, what is that?
• 57:37
  The announcement has received mixed reviews, with up questing
• 57:40
  the safety due to the age gap and others looking forward to a
• 57:43
  major high profile spectacle. As of February 2026, no specific
• 57:48
  TV network or streaming service has been officially confirmed to
• 57:50
  carry the fight, although it's expect to be a massive globally
• 57:53
  broadcast event. We all know it's going to go on
• 57:55
  Netflix. So I can't wait.
• 57:57
  That's going to be that's going to be great.
• 57:59
  Like I'll probably watch it. I'll end up watching it because
• 58:04
  it is the most one sided thing ever.
• 58:09
  Like I don't know, there's no way there's no way Mayweather
• 58:13
  will survive Tyson unless he runs around the ring.
• 58:23
  We got finally got to say Scary Movie 6 trailer during Scream 7.
• 58:29
  People got offended and I see why, but then again, it's scary
• 58:35
  moving. Like if you got offended over
• 58:37
  the first movie and the second movie, then yeah, what?
• 58:45
  What made you think this was going to be different?
• 58:48
  List of movies have been parodied.
• 58:51
  The substance, which I've seen as good Lords, horrible.
• 58:57
  It's just like, that's nasty, nasty movie.
• 59:02
  It's a nasty movie, The substance, if you've seen it.
• 59:05
  Yeah. Run.
• 59:07
  Scream. Obviously Sinners.
• 59:09
  Lots of sinners. Jokes in their long legs.
• 59:12
  Smile, pick. I notice the our evil.
• 59:16
  A quiet place. I know what you did last summer.
• 59:20
  Terrifier. Obviously Terrifier.
• 59:22
  Get out. I seen the couch and the on the
• 59:26
  T. Megan, I've seen the mask of
• 59:33
  Megan and the heart, heart eyes mask as well as Halloween
• 59:37
  Michael Myers. This is like this is in the
• 59:39
  subway and the subway scene where they all I think it was
• 59:42
  Halloween. Everybody's all doing some other
• 59:45
  stuff. They're also gonna they're also
• 59:47
  making fun of screen 5, where one of them says, you know, like
• 59:51
  there'd be no Halloween without Jamie the curve, just as there'd
• 59:54
  be no screen without where would screen be without Nef Campbell
• 59:58
  and. Marlon says Scream 6 other
• 1:00:06
  movies are going to be parodied as well, so I'm definitely going
• 1:00:11
  to go watch Scary Movie 6 when it comes out.
• 1:00:34
  You ever hear a beat that instantly takes you back to
• 1:00:36
  where who you were when you first fell in love with?
• 1:00:40
  Not with a person, but with a culture.
• 1:00:42
  A song that feels like your first mixtape, your first crush,
• 1:00:45
  your first dream. Welcome back to the Third Place,
• 1:00:52
  that space between memory and meaning, where nostalgia means
• 1:00:55
  storytelling. Today we're talking about a film
• 1:00:58
  that blended romance and hip hop into one unforgettable love
• 1:01:01
  letter, Brown Sugar. This isn't just a ROM com.
• 1:01:05
  There's a story about growing up with hip hop, growing into
• 1:01:08
  yourself, and realizing sometimes the love of your life
• 1:01:10
  has been beside you the whole life, the whole time.
• 1:01:15
  Brown Sugar follows childhood best friend Sydney Shaw Andre
• 1:01:18
  Ellis, whose lives are shaped by their shared of love of hip hop
• 1:01:23
  culture. As adults, Gray becomes a
• 1:01:25
  successful music executive while Sydney becomes a respected magic
• 1:01:28
  journalist for a Double XL, double XL, double XL.
• 1:01:36
  Now your magazine won't have any trouble to sell.
• 1:01:39
  I'll even buy a couple myself. Eminem.
• 1:01:43
  When Drake is engaged to someone else, unresolved feelings
• 1:01:45
  surface, forcing both of them to confront their past, their
• 1:01:47
  passions, and the question that drives the entire film.
• 1:01:50
  When did you first fall in love with hip hop?
• 1:01:54
  The movie blends romance, camera, your ambition and
• 1:01:56
  culture identity, showing how art, love and purpose can all
• 1:01:59
  intertwine. Gin and juice, I love that name.
• 1:02:07
  Santa Layton as Sydney Shaw, she's a passionate journalist,
• 1:02:10
  loyal friend and emotional center of the film.
• 1:02:13
  Tay Diggs as Dre Ellis, hip hop executive touring between
• 1:02:16
  success and authenticity. I love that Queen Latifah's in
• 1:02:19
  here as Francine. Sydney's confident best friend
• 1:02:22
  with iconic comedic timing. Most deaf as Chris call himself
• 1:02:29
  Cap. I love that he's soulful.
• 1:02:32
  He's one of the alternative MCS Nicole Aria Parker has reeds
• 1:02:40
  dress, fiance navigating ambition, expectation.
• 1:02:43
  The chemistry between the cast, especially late in the digs,
• 1:02:46
  gives the film it's an emotional authenticity, equal parts
• 1:02:49
  romantic tension and lifelong friendship.
• 1:02:52
  The soundtrack is a love letter to hip hop and neo soul.
• 1:03:01
  So as the credits were rolling by and I was reading all the
• 1:03:06
  performed by as well as learning all the stuff that's on there, I
• 1:03:13
  noticed that some of these songs were executive produced by Kanye
• 1:03:18
  West. The movie came out in 2000,
• 1:03:22
  early 2000s, 2002. We didn't get Kanye West until
• 1:03:26
  2004, so this was being still being worked on by 2001, right?
• 1:03:33
  So we didn't get Peak's Kanye until 2004, which was a College
• 1:03:37
  Dropout album, which I love and like because of his accident,
• 1:03:44
  car accident, we got The Wire through The Wire.
• 1:03:50
  So learning that Kanye West was still doing his hustling his
• 1:03:56
  stuff from way back in 2001, 2002, and being on the
• 1:04:01
  soundtrack is like, oh, he did this, he did that, he did this,
• 1:04:04
  he did that. So the the soundtrack is
• 1:04:08
  definitely a love letter to hip hop.
• 1:04:10
  It is time capsule of early 2000 hip hop and R&B, blending
• 1:04:15
  mainstream hits with underground soul energy and music.
• 1:04:18
  Includes common Erykah Badu, most def freaking Commons
• 1:04:26
  classic, I used to love her I I that is one of my favorite songs
• 1:04:33
  ever. It tracks the embody conscious
• 1:04:36
  rap, neo soul vibes and lyrical storytelling.
• 1:04:39
  A Sonic backdrop that mirrors the Film Center theme.
• 1:04:43
  Hip hop on his identity, memory and love language.
• 1:04:47
  This soundtrack how bridge the gap between mainstream romantic
• 1:04:49
  comedies and authentic hip hop culture, influencing Future
• 1:04:52
  Music driven films and shows. I love that everybody was in
• 1:04:59
  there. Slick Rick.
• 1:05:02
  Common, Mostef, Rafael Saadiq, Questlob.
• 1:05:08
  The Roots. The Roots.
• 1:05:08
  Questlob Dougie Fresh there were so many people in there and Eric
• 1:05:20
  B and Rakeem, there's just like a love letter to it.
• 1:05:24
  Like when did you fall in love with hip hop?
• 1:05:28
  Hold on. And that was the question like
• 1:05:36
  everybody she that girl was asking like everybody as well.
• 1:05:40
  Like, when did you fall in love with hip hop?
• 1:05:43
  And over the time, every time I heard it, I was just like, we're
• 1:05:46
  trying to remember it. Like 9293, Doctor Dre and Snoop
• 1:05:54
  Dogg had come out. Well, Snoop Dogg, Snoop Dogg had
• 1:05:59
  just come out. Like Doctor Dre has been around,
• 1:06:01
  but Snoop Dogg was like Dre Day and Snoop Doggy Dogg.
• 1:06:05
  So that's when I first started listening to it 'cause my
• 1:06:08
  friends at the time were like, do you know this?
• 1:06:10
  I was like, who's that? No, I don't.
• 1:06:17
  Which would then turn into if you don't know about this, then
• 1:06:21
  I got to teach you about that. So that's when you start falling
• 1:06:24
  in love with the with music, when people start teaching you,
• 1:06:29
  learning you about, you know, the culture.
• 1:06:34
  And he's just Puerto Rican kid. He's all showing me all this
• 1:06:38
  stuff, his cassette rack and everything you had, I'm sorry
• 1:06:46
  you had. Then he started showing me Eazy
• 1:06:50
  E because of the Dre Day song. It's like, so this guy and this
• 1:06:54
  guy had beef. I'm like, I don't know what
• 1:06:55
  you're saying, dude. Like, you know, I'm like, oh,
• 1:07:01
  you mean putting the lies? That's all I knew.
• 1:07:04
  I size baby freaking. What's his face?
• 1:07:09
  MC Hammer, that's all. Like, yeah, I didn't know that
• 1:07:13
  much, but they were showing me and they told me, listen to
• 1:07:18
  this, listen to Criss Cross, listen to Naughty By Nature,
• 1:07:28
  listen to Africa Bambada. And that's when it started,
• 1:07:33
  things started coming out on the radio, Africa Bambada with Sonic
• 1:07:39
  Rock. I think it was them Supersonic
• 1:07:47
  salt and pepper. All these people freaking and
• 1:07:51
  Vogue. I'm just like, I don't know what
• 1:07:53
  this TLC, I don't know what this is, but all right, I love it.
• 1:07:56
  Hell yeah. N.W.A.
• 1:08:00
  And when I was told about N.W.A, it's like, oh, I can't say that
• 1:08:03
  word. It's like fine, just listen to
• 1:08:06
  the music, you know, like all right, Ice Cube, good day.
• 1:08:12
  You know that one. Today was a good day.
• 1:08:17
  Who else was around the time third base, But I was told to
• 1:08:22
  stay away from that as well as vanilla lies.
• 1:08:29
  I'm like what? Snow snow also.
• 1:08:31
  But I was like, what? Like I don't know what this is.
• 1:08:36
  So 19921993 that's when I fell in love with hip hop.
• 1:08:44
  Brown Sugar refrained hip hop not just as music but as
• 1:08:47
  lifelong relationship, influencing how later filmed and
• 1:08:50
  serious portrayed creative passion as part of romantic
• 1:08:53
  identity. At a time when Black ROM coms
• 1:08:56
  were still fighting for mainstream attention, the film
• 1:08:59
  showcased successful, emotional, layered Black professionals
• 1:09:03
  navigating love and career. You can see its influence in
• 1:09:08
  projects that merge romance plus culture, identity, music and
• 1:09:12
  history, storytelling friends to lovers narrative rooted in a
• 1:09:15
  shared history. From streaming series about
• 1:09:18
  music journalism to modern Black ROM com rivals, Brown Sugar
• 1:09:22
  helped prove that black love stories centered on culture
• 1:09:25
  could be both intimate and universal.
• 1:09:28
  Plus it has Queen Latifah again, another person I didn't know
• 1:09:33
  till like 929394 UNITY. Gotta let them know.
• 1:09:43
  Like it wasn't until we started, like, you know, the streaming
• 1:09:50
  era where we I just started listening to old stuff, old
• 1:09:54
  school stuff, and downloading it on my computer and burning CDs
• 1:10:03
  because of it. Yeah, the movie, It's a great
• 1:10:09
  movie. I love Brown Sugar.
• 1:10:10
  I would, yeah. I was like trying to look for it
• 1:10:12
  on DVD as well, trying to let go look for it with all these other
• 1:10:16
  movies as well. You can't go wrong with Taye
• 1:10:18
  Diggs. You gotta let him know.
• 1:10:22
  You can't go wrong with Taye Diggs.
• 1:10:24
  I love Taye Diggs. He's in one of my favorite
• 1:10:26
  shows. All American, no longer part of
• 1:10:29
  that show because he left it, but he's in like almost every
• 1:10:35
  one of my favorite Movies Now. Just recently I started, I
• 1:10:41
  watched the Wood with him. We were talking, just talking
• 1:10:43
  about that Queen Latifah. You know that Who else was in
• 1:10:49
  this movie? Like a lot of more other people
• 1:10:52
  as well. But yeah, welcome back, Josh.
• 1:11:02
  Other films, love and basketball.
• 1:11:06
  Romance evolving through ambition and shared dreams.
• 1:11:09
  The best man, friendship, secrets and grown up love
• 1:11:12
  dynamics. Again.
• 1:11:13
  Another one with no I haven't seen the best man.
• 1:11:16
  Another one with Taye Diggs. Love Jones.
• 1:11:19
  Poetry, art and soulful romance and black creative spaces.
• 1:11:24
  Drumline. Passion, discipline and black
• 1:11:26
  musical excellence. I love drumline, can't stand
• 1:11:31
  Nick Cannon in the movie because he's such a fucking douche, but
• 1:11:37
  he learned his lesson at the same time.
• 1:11:40
  It is a great movie. Beyond the lights.
• 1:11:44
  Fame, authenticity and emotional vulnerability in the music
• 1:11:46
  industry. Soul food, which I have.
• 1:11:50
  Definitely a great movie. Family legacy and generational
• 1:11:53
  bonds. The wood, which we've seen and
• 1:11:56
  we have I talked about this past few episodes, nostalgic
• 1:12:03
  friendship and coming of age storytelling.
• 1:12:06
  Together, these films create a cinematic playlist of black
• 1:12:08
  love, ambition and culture pride, each one a different
• 1:12:11
  verse in the same song. So brown sugar, definitely.
• 1:12:20
  If you haven't seen it, go check it out.
• 1:12:22
  Go watch. It is the great, amazing movie.
• 1:12:25
  It's side on Disney Plus, it's on Hulu and it's a great find.
• 1:12:32
  Definitely going to recommend it.
• 1:12:35
  If I find it on DVD, I'm definitely going to buy it.
• 1:12:37
  It's a great, it's a buy. It's a buy for me.
• 1:12:41
  So here's the real question before we close.
• 1:12:44
  When did you first fall in love with hip hop?
• 1:12:47
  Was this song on the radio? A mixtape past in class?
• 1:12:50
  A late night video countdown of the first time lyrics felt like
• 1:12:53
  they were telling your story. Brown Sugar reminds us that
• 1:12:57
  culture isn't just something we consume, it's something that
• 1:13:01
  raises us, shapes us, and sometimes he releases back to
• 1:13:04
  the people who knew us before the world did.
• 1:13:07
  As we continue celebrating Black History Month, keep revisiting
• 1:13:09
  the films that feel like your personal soundtrack, the ones
• 1:13:13
  that blend love, growth, and identity into one timeless vibe.
• 1:13:16
  Until next time, keep your memories warm, your record
• 1:13:20
  spending, and your stories rooted in soul.
• 1:13:29
  We are at one hour and 24 minutes.
• 1:13:31
  Love it. All right, we're almost done.
• 1:13:34
  We're almost done. We're almost done.
• 1:13:36
  Cute. A soft hum of a late night TV
• 1:13:39
  channel flipping, the glow of a screen lighting up the room
• 1:13:42
  while your brain is trying to quiet down after a long day.
• 1:13:45
  Because let's be honest, comfort shows aren't random.
• 1:13:48
  Their personality test in disguise.
• 1:13:51
  So if the M3P community's top five comfort shows are your go
• 1:13:54
  to when life feels overwhelming, here, what they secretly say
• 1:13:58
  about you. Supernatural.
• 1:14:01
  You carry a lot and you rarely let people see how heavy it
• 1:14:05
  actually is. You're the strong friend, the
• 1:14:07
  fixer, the one who shows up no matter how tired you are.
• 1:14:11
  You believe in loyalty, found family, and fighting your
• 1:14:14
  demons, literal or emotional. You don't rewatch Supernatural
• 1:14:18
  just for nostalgia, you rewatch it because it reminds you that
• 1:14:21
  no matter how dark things get, you keep going anyway.
• 1:14:27
  Friends. You crave connection more than
• 1:14:29
  anything else. Your comfort isn't just jokes,
• 1:14:33
  it's the feeling of belonging. You're sentimental, nostalgic,
• 1:14:37
  and probably rewatch episodes like emotional comfort food.
• 1:14:41
  You want a circle that feels safe, consistent and familiar
• 1:14:44
  even when life itself isn't. The Big Bang Theory You find
• 1:14:49
  peace and predictability. You life.
• 1:14:53
  You like knowing the rhythm, the punch lines, the emotional beats
• 1:14:56
  when life feels chaotic. Structures, humor and familiar
• 1:15:00
  character dynamic calm your mind.
• 1:15:03
  You're analytical, comforted by routine and low key.
• 1:15:06
  Use sitcom logic to process real life chaos.
• 1:15:11
  Boy Meets World. You're deeply nostalgic and
• 1:15:15
  emotionally reflective. You think about who you wear,
• 1:15:18
  who you're becoming, and what all this stuff and what all of
• 1:15:22
  this life stuff is supposed to mean.
• 1:15:25
  You're comforted by growth arcs, life lessons, and the reminder
• 1:15:28
  that confusion is part of growing up.
• 1:15:30
  Even as an adult. You're the friend that says
• 1:15:34
  everything happens for a reason, it actually means it.
• 1:15:39
  And finally, The Office. You cope with stress through
• 1:15:43
  humor, especially awkward humor. You're self aware, a little
• 1:15:46
  chaotic intimately, but you laugh through discomfort to stay
• 1:15:50
  grounded. You like emotional playoff on
• 1:15:53
  hidden under jokes because vulnerability feels safer when
• 1:15:56
  it's wrapped in comedy. You're the I'm fine texter who
• 1:16:01
  then re watches comfort episodes to actually feel fine.
• 1:16:06
  So what do these top five comfort shows say about the M3P
• 1:16:09
  community as a whole? You're resilient.
• 1:16:13
  You're nostalgic, You value found family.
• 1:16:16
  And when life gets overwhelming, you don't escape reality, you
• 1:16:21
  regulate it. One familiar episode, 1 theme
• 1:16:24
  song, One safe, fictional world at a time.
• 1:16:27
  Because sometimes healing isn't a big dramatic breakthrough.
• 1:16:31
  Sometimes it's just hitting play next episode and letting your
• 1:16:35
  nervous system breathe. Anything else we need to do?
• 1:16:48
  Anything else that I missed we got to we got through the whole
• 1:16:58
  Pokémon stuff right. We did Marble Rivals.
• 1:17:08
  I'm not doing that cuz I'm not really interested in it this
• 1:17:12
  month, this year, this this month, this whole season and not
• 1:17:18
  really into it this whole season.
• 1:17:20
  Maybe next season I will, but not this season.
• 1:17:24
  So yeah, I think that's it. You guys ready to head out?
• 1:17:32
  You guys ready to go? Roll out?
• 1:17:33
  Let's roll out. Whatever happens, whatever I
• 1:17:38
  might have missed, we'll probably do it next week also
• 1:17:48
  because we were talking about earlier and you know, like when
• 1:17:57
  did I fall in love with podcasting?
• 1:17:59
  It was three guys doing it. I'm just one person doing it.
• 1:18:04
  Like I was that one person doing it and like I love it.
• 1:18:14
  It's like it gave me something to look forward to at the time.
• 1:18:21
  I was I would enjoy it, you know, doing like bring coming
• 1:18:25
  back every week, just talking to dead air because I don't know
• 1:18:30
  who was listening at the time. Like, I don't even know who's
• 1:18:33
  listening to me now except for three people that are in here.
• 1:18:39
  But you know, knowing now that every like I want to go back to
• 1:18:48
  it because I why not let's go back to who's listening. 162
• 1:18:58
  Spotify followers, 24,744 downloads.
• 1:19:12
  More people in the world listening to it as well.
• 1:19:18
  Costa Rica, Poland. It does give me an outlet.
• 1:19:29
  It gives me an outlet to talk, and I love doing that.
• 1:19:36
  Like, I just love just, even if nobody's listening, I still will
• 1:19:40
  talk to it, you know, I still will talk.
• 1:19:44
  I still will put an effort to put in an episode and thank you,
• 1:19:53
  Proud of you too. I'm, I'm glad you're proud of
• 1:19:55
  me. I'm proud of myself too.
• 1:19:59
  So what does episode 280? That means we have 20 more
• 1:20:03
  episodes to go before we hit 300.
• 1:20:06
  Which means it just means that we're going to hit 300 pretty
• 1:20:10
  soon. I'm like by April, by my
• 1:20:14

• 1:20:56
  know, that one time, that one episode in Portland and you
• 1:21:03
  didn't and you ended up and I asked for a favor because the
• 1:21:09
  other two people that were part of the show that you know that
• 1:21:16
  and you remain consistent and you didn't complain.
• 1:21:21
  You didn't say anything bad. And This is why we click.
• 1:21:26
  You know, you are part of this show as much as Greg.
• 1:21:40
  See, like this is what I love. Like it's a community.
• 1:21:42
  It's like I wanted. I like I saw that whole thing
• 1:21:47
  back then 10 years ago. And I said, like, how do you
• 1:21:51
  start a podcast? How, you know, it's like what,
• 1:21:55
  what how did? Oh my God, I can't.
• 1:21:58
  Words are hard. Like when did you fall in love
• 1:22:02
  with what you love Now? 10 years ago, when I wanted to
• 1:22:06
  do this, when I wanted to talk into a microphone and tell you
• 1:22:11
  how I'm feeling, how my health is, how my mental health is, how
• 1:22:17
  all those things that I love doing, all those things that I

  material, you know, movies, reading a book, all the stuff
• 1:22:44
  that I love talking about, it's on here.
• 1:22:48
  And it's not just that. It's a place where I want to
• 1:22:52
  talk where I can be myself and this is how I get this is how
• 1:22:58
  this show gets raw and real is because I'm I let all my
• 1:23:04
  emotional, my emotions out and like I had some of the times I
• 1:23:11
  read from a screen. Y'all know that other times when
• 1:23:15
  I'm doing, when I'm here, when I have all this stuff in my head,
• 1:23:18
  I still say I just don't want to say it and I say it and it just
• 1:23:22
  comes out mumble jumble blah blah blah blah blah.
• 1:23:25
  I just recently watched Mean Girls word vomit and not only
• 1:23:30
  that, I watched the the second Mean Girls, the 2024 version of
• 1:23:33
  it, the musical one and word vomit.
• 1:23:39
  So yeah, the second Mean Girls, the 2024 version that we got to
• 1:23:44
  talk about that pretty soon because the musical and I didn't
• 1:23:49
  know it was and then I saw it and I was just like what the
• 1:23:51
  hell is going on? It is based off the musical.
• 1:23:56
  It's not a musical based off the musical.
• 1:23:57
  So they turned it into a movie. Like I said, so much stuff in my
• 1:24:05

  Make sure if I can wake up the person that's falling asleep
• 1:30:52
  because of food coma and hug them too.

  Like hey, wake up, I'm leaving like oh, OK, let me sleep.

  No, got to say goodbye to you. Come here and give me a hug.
• 1:31:04
  Oh, man, thanks for having us coming by and everything, blah,

  Have you seen this comic book? Oh, we're going to stay here for
• 1:31:23
  another 15 minutes. Can't forget them.
• 1:31:28
  That ends up being your favorite person ever because you need to
• 1:31:32
  wake them up and tell them, hey, I'm leaving.
• 1:31:36
  But I want to get your idea, your views on this.
• 1:31:41
  OK, that's it. That's it.
• 1:31:42
  We're done. And just like that, the last
• 1:31:45
  page of February flips over. The snacks are down to crumbs,
• 1:31:49
  and the conversation is still echoing in the room like
• 1:31:51
  nobody's quite ready to turn the lights off yet.
• 1:31:54
  Red coming in at the last minute at the final leg.
• 1:32:00
  It's like the same thing when you're about to leave.

• 1:32:29
  Appreciate that. For real.
• 1:32:33
  For real though. And just like that, the last
• 1:32:36
  page of February flipped over. The snacks are down the crumbs
• 1:32:41
  and the conversation is still echoing in the room like
• 1:32:43
  nobody's quite ready to turn the lights off yet.
• 1:32:46
  Episode 280, the final stop of the month, the somehow the group
• 1:32:49
  chat is still going right now. They really are.
• 1:32:53
  Shout out to the community, because y'all shout out this
• 1:32:56
  week. Those politics answers still
• 1:32:59
  rolling in as we're literally sitting here getting ready to
• 1:33:02
  say this. Outro stories, confessions.
• 1:33:05
  I can't believe I'm admitting this moment.
• 1:33:07
  The exact kind of honesty that makes this third place feel
• 1:33:11
  real. We talked childhood trouble you
• 1:33:14
  definitely thought you were slick about.
• 1:33:18
  There's more. There's more.
• 1:33:21
  I've that wasn't the only time I ever got in trouble.
• 1:33:23
  There's more. We can, we can do more episodes
• 1:33:28
  of pasta. We can do more episodes of
• 1:33:31
  pasta. I want to get Greg's.
• 1:33:33
  I'm going to take on this as well because I want to hear his
• 1:33:36
  as well. Like, hey, I have another one.
• 1:33:40
  We reacted to Elimination Chamber and the chaos that
• 1:33:43
  officially set the Road to WrestleMania in motion.
• 1:33:45
  We stepped into parody nostalgia with Scary Movie trailer buzz
• 1:33:48
  and closed out Black History Month with Brown Sugar, that
• 1:33:51
  reminder that sometimes what you fall in love with ends up
• 1:33:54
  shaping your entire life. I want to hear more stories.
• 1:34:00
  Story time coming soon. We got more stories.
• 1:34:04
  And of course, we crowned the top 15 comfort TV shows, the
• 1:34:07
  ones you run back to when life gets overwhelming.
• 1:34:10
  And those top five might have told us a little too much about
• 1:34:12
  who you are when the world gets loud.
• 1:34:15
  Now, as we roll into March, everything shifts just a little
• 1:34:19
  bit. New month, new energy.
• 1:34:22
  The married version of February, which also means another Friday
• 1:34:25
  13th is lurking on the calendar. And you already know what that
• 1:34:29
  means for us. We're going to talk about it
• 1:34:34
  next episode. We kick off March by continuing
• 1:34:37
  our video game to big screen journey.
• 1:34:39
  We're never going to talk about Mortal Kombat, are we?
• 1:34:43
  We're going to do the double. We're going to do Mortal Kombat
• 1:34:45
  as Street Fighter. Arcade cabinets, button mashing,
• 1:34:49
  secret fatalities in that era where video games looked at
• 1:34:52
  Hollywood and said finish him. Yeah, let's try it literally
• 1:34:58
  just rolled into March. We literally just did it is
• 1:35:01
  midnight now and it's March and we're kicking.
• 1:35:06
  I mean, I guess we're kicking off this episode with March.
• 1:35:11
  We'll also be talking about everything that dropped for
• 1:35:13
  Pokémon Day, the reveals, the celebration, and how fans all
• 1:35:16
  over the world showed love to the franchise that raised the
• 1:35:18
  generation of trainers, collectors, and late night Game
• 1:35:21
  Boy grinders. You know what?
• 1:35:27
  I had to watch it on YouTube. You know why?
• 1:35:32
  Because none of the people that I watch that I hope they would
• 1:35:39
  talk about and I'm going to call him out.
• 1:35:44
  How you going to be? Well, I guess you were busy, but
• 1:35:49
  still you had you, you mostly do all your stuff right.
• 1:35:58
  But you're supposed to be like, Hey, you're maybe I shouldn't
• 1:36:04
  talk bad about them. And I'm not going to, I'm not,
• 1:36:06
  I'm not talking bad about them, but it's like what happened to
• 1:36:09
  you guys? Tell me why you didn't talk
• 1:36:13
  about Pokémon, the new generation, the 10th, 10th Gen.
• 1:36:19
  10, the new game that's coming out and the three new starters.
• 1:36:26
  Tell me why. Walla Moose, Pokey, Rado
• 1:36:32
  Gradeon, Danny Ryan's in there as well because obviously I go
• 1:36:39
  through like a whole process of looking them up.
• 1:36:42
  So those four, this is going to be on forever.
• 1:36:48
  I'm sure that the podcast is going to talk about it.
• 1:36:53
  Critical hits, because they're always on the beat.
• 1:36:57
  They're always right right there.
• 1:36:59
  They're always right there. Whatever happens, they're right
• 1:37:02
  there. I'm sure they're going to talk
• 1:37:03
  about it, but you know, your, your whole setup is content
• 1:37:08
  creation to talk about this. Instead.
• 1:37:10
  I ended up obviously I looked it up on YouTube and I was looking
• 1:37:14
  up on here for like my three favorite people.
• 1:37:16
  I was like, nothing came out. Other people was like, yeah, but
• 1:37:22
  my free favorite person didn't post anything about it.
• 1:37:25
  Maybe, maybe it was just me, 'cause I'm not going to do like
• 1:37:32
  an episode right away. Like I, I used to say, always
• 1:37:36
  say I'm a give it like a little minute to marinate and learn
• 1:37:43
  more about this stuff and then I'll do an episode about it.
• 1:37:46
  Instead of when like other people were just doing like
• 1:37:49
  immediate stuff, breaking news. Oh my God, this and this and
• 1:37:52
  this and this, Oh no, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
• 1:37:56
  And that's how rumors get started.
• 1:37:58
  And that's how things go with like spiral out of control where
• 1:38:03
  you can just wait it out for a whole week until you learn more
• 1:38:06
  about stuff about this and then do the actual episode, which I
• 1:38:10
  also used to do at the time. But maybe I'm too like not
• 1:38:20
  patient enough. So it's not me.
• 1:38:21
  It's not me for, like, expecting the best out of others.
• 1:38:28
  I just got notification that you're alive.
• 1:38:31
  I'm live. It's 12:00.
• 1:38:32
  I'm live. All right, we might be talking
• 1:38:37
  about that stuff for Pokémon Day once I find out more stuff about
• 1:38:41
  it. Also, March Madness doesn't just
• 1:38:44
  belong to basketball brackets. It belongs to nostalgia, too.
• 1:38:47
  To fandom, to the debates, the rewatch of the reactions, the
• 1:38:50
  feeling that the year is finally picking up speed before we
• 1:38:55
  really go. You all know this.
• 1:38:59
  Y'all ready for this before we really go?
• 1:39:03
  Take a breath with me. Whatever February handed you.
• 1:39:06
  Winds, stress, noise, growth. You made it to the shortest
• 1:39:12
  month of the year and that counts for something.
• 1:39:16
  Thank you for spending this time here in my third place.
• 1:39:21
  Not home, not work, just a space where we show up as ourselves,
• 1:39:26
  tell our stories and leave the light on for whoever needs the
• 1:39:29
  next. I want you all to take care of
• 1:39:32
  each other. Take care of yourselves.
• 1:39:37
  This is the M3P podcast where community, creativity and
• 1:39:42
  nostalgia always have a seat at the table.
• 1:39:47
  We'll see you back here in March.
• 1:39:51
  Bye. OK, I'm still recording like a
• 1:40:09
  little after, little after party.
• 1:40:13
  See what happens. I'm I'm gonna make it go all the
• 1:40:18
  way to two hours. Why not Natalie Nunn?
• 1:40:23
  Are you serious? Natalie Nunn just showed up in
• 1:40:25
  my life. That is funny.
• 1:40:34
  Natalie Nunn, you still running LA?
• 1:40:38
  Like what? What is going on?
• 1:40:41
  This guy knows about Bad Girls Club.
• 1:40:44
  Yeah, why not that? That was a big freaking part of
• 1:40:49
  my life, man. I was binge watching that like
• 1:40:54
  crazy in 2012. Oh, I got favorite, favorite
• 1:41:05
  episodes. I got favorite shows I got.
• 1:41:07
  Yeah, it was it was like that was that was running my life for
• 1:41:13
  like the good portion of 2012 for sure.
• 1:41:18
  Why are you watching this stuff? Because can't get enough of it.
• 1:41:24
  Either that or the challenge. But yeah, Bad growth club was
• 1:41:29
  like the thing to watch.
