80s and 90s Cartoon Tropes, Playground War Wounds Trauma, and WWE Greatest Superstars Debate · My Third Place Pod

0:00
All right, let's go. Let's get it.
0:01
Let's get it. Welcome back to my third place.
0:06
Not home, not work, but that familiar in between where
0:11
memories get louder the closer summer gets.
0:13
You already know this time of year had a very specific feeling
0:18
it's time to put up your air conditioners again because it's
0:24
humid out and nasty hot. Yeah, It's that it's about that
0:30
time, or if you grew up in the 80s, nineties or early 2000s,
0:36
you already know this time of year had a very specific
0:39
feeling. The desk at school suddenly felt
0:41
useless. Teachers rolled the TV card into
0:44
the classroom more often. Everybody was talking about
0:46
graduation parties, summer jobs, vacation plans, and who might
0:50
disappear from your everyday life when school ended.
0:53
And somewhere in the middle of all of that, your favorite TV
0:57
show would hit you with a season finale cliffhanger and vanish.
1:01
Ghost, ghost bitch. I'm a ghost bitch.
1:09
I'm a ghost. Banished for three months like
1:11
it entered the witness protection program.
1:13
I feel that. I vanished for three months, one
1:16
year. You remember that, right?
1:26
2022? Yeah.
1:33
Oh, shit. No screaming countdowns, no
1:35
guaranteed renewal announcement. You just had to suffer.
1:40
This is episode 295, and Greg is back on the board with me
1:45
tonight as we continue sliding closer and closer toward summer
1:49
break energy. Tonight's episode is loaded with
1:54
nostalgia. We asked the community question
1:57
that instantly unlocked memories.
1:58
What was the last song they played at your final school
2:00
dance? Some people don't remember, some
2:04
do. But if you do remember, you're
2:08
answering me like, congratulations, your knee prop.
2:10
Your knees probably make noise when you stand up now.
2:13
No shit. Click, clack, clack.
2:17
Click, click, click. Everybody remembers our final
2:21
slow dance, the last hype song, the awkward moment where the
2:24
lights came on and reality hit that school was almost over.
2:30
One person, though, One person remembers a different kind of
2:34
song. We'll get into that later.
2:37
We're also diving deeper into one of the most painful parts of
2:41
growing up back then. What was it like when your
2:44
favorite TV show ended on a cliffhanger before summer break?
2:47
Because some of those finales had us dressed up for months.
2:49
We're getting nostalgic over something nobody expected to see
2:53
but somehow makes perfect sense. Magic the Gathering teaming up
2:57
with Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.
3:01
You would love it there. You would love it.
3:04
Which feels exactly the kind of thing kid versions of us would
3:08
have spent entire allowances on without hesitation.
3:13
Not just a kid, our us right now.
3:16
Me right now. Definitely loving that.
3:20
Speaking of impulse decisions, we're talking about the very
3:24
experience of buying a book 8 of a series when you're barely on
3:27
book 2 because you're already emotionally invested and scared
3:31
it'll disappear before you catch up, which honestly feels like a
3:35
personal attack at this point. We'll also be reacting to Sports
3:40
Illustrated 20 Greatest Wrestlers list, which means
3:43
somebody's guaranteed to feel disrespected by the rankings.
3:48
Yeah, there's also news that somehow sun both fake and
3:52
completely believable at the same time. 412344 Fast and
4:00
Furious TV shows. That's great, motherfucker.
4:04
Are reportedly in development for like.
4:09
What else can they talk about? What else can they like do?
4:12
Yeah. Apparently the Family BBQ
4:16
Cinematic Universe has no speed limit anymore.
4:22
And in the midst of and then and then and then somewhere in there
4:25
and all of that, we're getting another Big Bang Theory spin
4:28
off. At this point, that universe has
4:31
more side twist than a role-playing game we have.
4:36
We had the Sheldon spin off, which was a prequel.
4:41
We had Sheldon's brother and his adult girlfriend, underage kid
4:49
and adult girlfriend as a spin off.
4:52
How did that end up on TV? Right?
4:56
What Jane? Jane's in here.
5:00
What's up? What's?
5:02
Up. Yeah, and brother, you know this
5:06
because we love our producers here at my third place.
5:08
We do, right? We do.
5:11
Yeah. We also want to give a special
5:13
shout out tonight. One of our producers lived in
5:16
Norway and will be celebrating Grun Love Dog and tomorrow on
5:19
May 17th, Norway's National Day, marking the signing of the
5:23
constitution and I fall in 1814. Right on.
5:27
I'm looking over at her. Did I nail it?
5:30
Did I? Did I say right?
5:32
Both of them let me know. A day known for children's
5:35
parades, patriotic celebrations, traditional bunads, and honestly
5:41
sounding way more wholesome than anything we do over here.
5:45
Let's just light up the fireworks.
5:47
That's it. So in honor of that, we're
5:52
celebrating the only way this podcast knows how with jumbo ice
5:57
cream. I told her we would eat jumbo
6:02
ice cream only because every time I got this card, she would
6:08
laugh. The jumbo ice cream Pokémon
6:12
card. Good job, she says.
6:14
Good job. I nailed it.
6:15
All right, We, we we nailed it. Yeah, We're eating jumbo ice
6:20
cream tomorrow. No, for real.
6:21
I'm eating ice cream tomorrow just for her.
6:26
All right, Jane. And finally, last week we played
6:29
a game called. Would this sitcom trope Fly
6:32
Today? Tonight, we're finishing the
6:35
conversation, but asking the real dangerous question.
6:37
You ready for this question? Would these cartoon tropes fly
6:42
today? Because once you revisit some of
6:46
these old cartoons as an adult, you start realizing they were
6:48
getting away with a lot. Oh, brother, you're going to be
6:52
loving this later on. So whether you're here for the
6:56
school dance nostalgia, the TV cliffhangers, the rest of the
6:59
bait, the Fast and Furious madness, or just another night
7:02
hanging out with us on the porch, pull up a chair.
7:05
This is episode 295, TM 3 P podcast.
7:07
Let's get into it, Greg. How the hell are we?
7:12
I'm good. I'm good right now.
7:14
Yeah, I'm good today. What are you grateful for this
7:24

7:32

7:35

We're all happy that everybody's still here.
7:46
Everybody's still, you know, like we deal with a lot all week

7:53
this podcast. Like I look forward to doing the
7:57
stream at night, every night, even on Sundays, even when
8:03
people didn't want me doing the Sundays because they wanted me
8:07
to have a break. Right.
8:13
No, it's for my mental health. It's for my mental health.
8:19
You know, it's either that or I ghost.

What else happened this week? I went and bought a book 8 of
13:32
Dungeon Crawler Carl when I'm still on book 2.
13:37
So like, I wasn't done. I'm not even done.
13:41

13:43

13:46
So that was this past week. It's back there.
13:50
It's just chilling back there. Today, though, I went and got
13:53
the third book because we're almost done with the second
13:55
book. So here it is and it's just just
14:03
as the the the 8th book that I bought.
14:07
It's 190, it's 98 chapters, 700 pages.
14:14
This is about the same thing. This is like at least a smaller
14:17
version of that, But I started reading the first book again
14:21
for, you know, to do it on live on Spa YouTube to see how that
14:26
would go. And people are loving it.
14:28
People are taking it. So I'm just going to do that
14:31
from now on. But cards got Pokémon, cards got
14:37
the other stuff. What else?
14:42
Everything's good, man. That was it.
14:45
Thank you, babe. You know what?
14:46
I'm really thinking about getting that book, Bill.
14:49
Which one? The first one, yeah, go for it
14:53
looks like this. Yeah.
15:01
Cheap right now, $20. Yeah.
15:06
Read it with us. It's book club on M3P, ma'am.
15:12
Look at her, James. All like it's May 17th now, Sir.
15:15
I'm like, no, it's not. What are?
15:18
You doing? She's like, so she wants to be
15:24
there like change the she wants me to change the calendar right
15:27
now. It's still the 16th in the US.
15:32
It is, ma'am. It is.
15:34
It's still the 16th in the US. And on your note, ma'am, before
15:39
we move on, we got to give a shout out to one of our
15:42
producers because today over there tomorrow.
15:45
But when you're listening to this today, just celebrating
15:49
grounds love dogging, also known as Norway's Constitution Day or
15:53
as new regions call it Sydney Mai, the 17th of May.
16:00
Now, what I love about this holiday is the vibe feels
16:03
completely different from what usually people picture when they
16:07
think of a national celebration. They're fighting about the day.
16:12
This isn't really about military parades and giant displays of
16:15
power. In Norway, the celebration is
16:17
centered around families, community children's parades,
16:20
marching bands, wading flags, traditional outfits called
16:24
bunads and some unbelievable amount of hot dogs, just like
16:32
us. And some ice cream as well, just
16:35
like us. So imagine waking up early, the
16:38
whole city dressed up, music everywhere, kids marching
16:40
through the streets, people celebrating freedom, culture and
16:43
community together. That's the energy they have
16:47
going on. They're going to have going on
16:48
tomorrow. For them, the holiday marks the
16:51
signing of Norway's constitution back in 1814, which became a
16:54
huge symbol of Norwegian identity and independence.
16:57
And honestly, it's a kind of love the one, one of the biggest
17:00
traditions. Basically let the kids do
17:03
whatever they want. That sounds like a holiday
17:06
support. So celebrate property here on
17:09
MPP tonight, tomorrow, tomorrow will be we'll we will also be
17:14
participating in the sacred tradition and we're going to
17:17
consume entirely too much ice cream, jumbo ice cream,
17:22
specifically jumbo ice cream, which if you grew up in the
17:26
Midwest, feels like less like dessert and more like surviving
17:30
a sugar based boss battle from the childhood.
17:33
Shout out to our producer Jane, happy grunts of Dagen and may
17:38
your ice cream melt slower than your nostalgia, man.
17:45
Oh good, my brother. Magic the gathering.
17:53
Fucking things are crazy. They're awesome.
17:59
They look good. I bought them because of the
18:03
nostalgia, basically. You know, there are some people
18:08
here and there in the USA celebrate May 17th marching
18:11
through the street. So we're going to have a bunch
18:14
of people marching through the street over here too.
18:19
I love it. I love it.
18:27
Yeah. Maybe let me look for this
18:28
segment real quick because I want to talk about it not in a
18:33
big amount of way, but I just want to say it.
18:46
So we officially reached the era where every part of our
18:49
childhood is crossing over with every other part of our
18:52
childhood, and honestly, I'm here for it.
18:56
Somehow, some way, the worlds of fantasy card battles and sewer
18:59
pizza have collided Magic the gathering teaming up with the
19:03
heroes in the half shells themselves a teenage mutant
19:06
Ninja Turtles. We're going to be diving to the
19:08
cars, the art, the nostalgia factor, and whether it is one of
19:11
the coolest crossover event ever or proof that nerd culture has
19:14
officially merged into one giant multiverse.
19:26
There was a segment, there was a saying here.
19:29
It's just like a small saying about which cars I should show
19:33
you. There you go, Raphael.
19:45
This set feels like it was scientifically engineered for
19:48
people who grew up in the late 80s and 90s.
19:50
Ninja Turtle, magic cards, pizza themed lands, arcade aesthetics,
19:53
comic book art, and collectible chase variants.
20:02
Jesus, it started. When did it start?
20:06
October 2020, Fifth. The announcement period during
20:08
the New York Comic Con hype full marketing pre-order push
20:11
intensified in January February 2026 Secret Lair Super Drop
20:17

20:22
mark event 6 to 8 weeks of active event marketing.
20:27
The pools were 699 for little boosters.
20:31
There's some chase cars people want their childhoods connected
20:37
with, you know, TMNT. Yeah, we're now adults, we're
20:42
now collectors, we're now gamers, we're now comic book
20:45
readers. We're now parents.
20:46
Some of us are parents and some other the chatter parents.
20:52
So like, you know, we got a we want we want stuff that is
20:59
introduce them. We want stuff that like remind
21:02
us of our childhood and this was it.
21:10
What else? If you pull the rare slime
21:13
cards, Kevin Eastman variance or the secret layering inclusive
21:16
like the Last Ronin Cars, congratulations, you basically
21:18
pulled nostalgic gold. Here we go, the turtles.
21:32
I already showed everybody in there in the Oh yeah.
21:36
So this what April O'Neil looks like on the cards.
21:41
The fuck? How the fuck she gonna be black
21:45
though? She wasn't black though.
21:49
That's crazy. Yeah.
21:51
But she looks good. I ain't blocking it.
21:59
She looks good, Rafael. Yeah, yeah.
22:05
There's oh also I mean some of the characters are black.
22:08
Baxter Stockman the scientist. The crazy ass scientist that
22:12
turns into a family. Yeah.
22:19
There's a Lord drag and then there's some some great ass
22:25

22:33

22:46
Even if you don't, like, play it, dude, get them.
22:48
The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, you got to get them.
22:50
Yeah. They're part of our childhood,
22:52
you know? And, you know, we're still going
22:55
to watch those movies. I still have those movies, like
22:58
#2 and 3. So we're still going to watch.
23:00
Yeah. So yeah, that was it.
23:11
All right, here we go. Final school dance songs.
23:16
You know, the moment the lights come down low, teachers suddenly
23:19
start acting like nightclub security guards.
23:21
Somebody's holding a pair of shoes because their feet hurt
23:23
from dancing all night. And then the DJ announces, all
23:25
right, everybody, this is the last song a night.
23:28
The final dance song always felt bigger than just music.
23:31
Sometimes it was romantic. Sometimes it was emotional.
23:34
Sometimes everybody rushed to floor because nobody wanted
23:36
their night to end. So tonight, we're talking about
23:38
the greatest final school dance songs of all time, The songs
23:41
that closed out Proms, middle school dances, gymnasium
23:43
memories and entire eras of our lives.
23:49
Do you remember going to any of these dance?
23:52
Yeah, Actor, 'cause did. You ever get to dance with with
24:00
Cindy? With that one girl, Celine.
24:03
Celine. Yeah, her.
24:04
Mine was. Yeah, a great prom.
24:10
Oh. Shit, like we dance.
24:13
We dance from like I said before that in one of the early episode
24:20
we danced at Marc Anthony. Oh.
24:23
Yeah. Being California, love came on.
24:27
We danced to that. I don't remember what slow song,
24:32
but I know we slow dance, though.
24:35
I can't remember, but yeah, yeah, we danced.
24:38
Leanna saying old Celine. I know a lot of mercy.
24:56
Oh God, man. Unfortunately, my crush, I
25:03
didn't get to dance with my crush, but I still got to dance
25:05
with another girl. It was fucking that song I put
25:12
up there for it. Oh, Keith Sweat, let me tell you
25:19
how much I'm gonna want you. That one and like, it was
25:28
fucking. That song was badass for like
25:31
the entire 80s and 90s. Like they still played it.
25:34
Obviously they played LL Cool J so a lot.
25:36
A lot. Yeah.
25:37
I need love. And then the new stuff that was
25:41
out in the 90s get giving it to you, getting a wild.
25:50
What else? Yeah, there was a bunch of them.
25:54
So Tizen T89 says sigh. 2008 senior prom, the DJ, for
25:59
whatever reason, played Touch My Body by Mariah Carey.
26:02
That's the last song. Touch My Body.
26:08
I mean, we've done worse, dude. Yeah.
26:13
Next. Too close.
26:15
Yeah, yeah. So yeah, it's like this was, I
26:19
don't think this was anything like cringy or anything.
26:23
I think everybody was like making it cringy in the late
26:25
2000s. Like we were like, oh, hell
26:28
yeah, let's do it. You know, I think by some era in
26:31
the 2000s, people just started being like, why would you dance
26:35
to this song? Like, why not touch your body?
26:39
OK, come here, let me touch your body.
26:41
Yeah, you know, yeah. Like we had next to close, we
26:46
had backed that ass up. We had, we had we had the
26:52
national anthem backed that ass up.
26:54
We had fucking 2 live crew. Come on.
26:59
You can't tell me that in the late 2000s y'all were cringy.
27:03
And it's like, no, we were cringier.
27:06
And I think the aid. Was much more cringy.
27:09
We were jamming. They know.
27:10
Yeah, we were jamming all. Shit about that.
27:14
I feel like it was more about the beat than the words back
27:17
then. For me, anyway.
27:18
Yeah, yeah. I mean, California love.
27:22
Why not? Yeah.
27:29
All right, Celeste says. Boys to men on Bend the knee.
27:35
That sounds like a good song. Just Dance.
27:38
Final song, MENA says Good riddance was the last song of my
27:42
prom. Dang.
27:48
Something unbelievable, you know.
27:51
I hope you had to get the best time of your life, I guess, Tina
27:56
says. Try dancing to November rain.
27:59
God's rose. Yeah, I'm like what?
28:06
It's a sad. Fucking song.
28:08
Yeah, it is. Especially the video.
28:10
That's what I said. I said it in there.
28:11
I was like commented, I was like that especially after you watch
28:14
the videos like it's sad. Why would it have that a prom?
28:21
Obviously I saved the best for last.
28:23
The last comment in here, Jane, she says Macarena is the only
28:29
song I remember from holy prom I went to and that we all had to
28:34
dance the dance to it. Last song was probably a love
28:38
ballad that people slow dance to.
28:40
Not me though. Hey Macarena.
28:49
Hi Jane, can you do a video of the Macarena please so we can
28:54
all join in? I will actually, we will
28:57
actually, I will actually get up and do that.
29:01
Can we have a visual if you're doing the Macarena please, so we
29:04
can like all go in and like all of us in here.
29:11
Oh my God, she says. She says OMG.
29:15
So that's a yes. OMG with laughing emojis.
29:19
She's that just basically means she's going to do it because
29:25
yeah, why not? Leano says.
29:28
I would too do it. I know Men is going to do it
29:32
too. Like, yeah.
29:33
She gonna do? Is she gonna do it shit out of
29:34
men? We're all, we're all going to do
29:38
it. We're all going to do it.
29:40
All five of us, Really. That's a yes, huh?
29:43
It's always a yes with you, man. Every time you laugh, yes, I'll
29:47
take that as a yes. Your silence just speaks louder
29:50
right now. If you say no, it's no.
29:53
But if you don't say anything at all, I I'm just going to assume
29:56
that it's a yes. Thank you producer before
30:09
streaming, before binge watching, before skip intro
30:13
buttons. We love our skip intro buttons
30:16
TV shows used to torture us. You spend an entire season
30:21
investing in your favorite characters, finally get to the
30:23
big finale, and then boom, somebody disappears.
30:27
Somebody kisses somebody, somebody might be dead.
30:29
The off screen, the screen cuts to black and then the announcer
30:33
casually says, see you in September.
30:38
September feels like 1000 years away.
30:40
When you were a kid, I should have rephrased this completely
30:48
because everybody just assumed that I was asking how did you
30:53
feel when your favorite show was off the air?
30:57
And what I really wanted to ask, what was your one show?
31:02
Yeah. What was The One Show that had
31:04
you stressed out? And I should have rephrased it,
31:07
but instead I'll do another one. But the comments menace was I
31:15
was brutal to have to wait until September for your favorite TV
31:17
show to come back after summer. And hopefully he didn't get
31:19
cancelled. Jane simply horrible.
31:21
It was Julie. It was horrible.
31:25
Yeah, See, LB Lauren agonizing I'd be talking about all the
31:30
time. Annoying my siblings with.
31:32
What do you think is going to happen?
31:33
Carice? Carissa says you never forget a
31:36
beat. And that's all we talked about
31:38
all summer. Had to buy magazine to talk
31:39
about the TV shows when I was a kid.
31:41
All so slow. You fart now and 30 seconds
31:44
later everyone knows. Yeah, like I, I, Yeah, that was
31:54
because what was the magazines team beat the Disney magazine,
32:02
that one. Scene sounds familiar, yeah?
32:05
Yeah, adventures. Yeah, those are magazines.
32:14
And then like all the good magazine, not the fucking shit
32:21
that you see now. But yeah.
32:26
So what I wanted to ask was what show?
32:29
Right? So mine was Smallville season 2
32:36
at the very end when he turns into red kryptonite or turns
32:39
into bad Clark and leaves and just flies out and goes to
32:47
Metropolis to live a different life.
32:50
So annoying, but and like, damn, what the fuck to come back down
32:58
season. I didn't we didn't know if it
32:59
was a season 3 or not. This is like 2002.
33:01
We didn't have like, you know, hey, we're going to bring it
33:05
back right away. No, we had to wait until Comic
33:07
Con or like some other shit weeks, months later where
33:13
they're like, yeah, it's coming back.
33:15
OK, cool. Smallville season 3.
33:19
The other one was Buffy. When she died, we didn't know if
33:24
she was going to season 6, was going to come back if there was
33:28
ever a season 6, like, oh, she's dead.
33:30
All right. I guess the show's over then,
33:31
right. No, it's said to be continued.
33:34
Well, I mean, that could mean anything if they bring it back
33:36
and bring it back. If they don't bring it back,
33:38
then she's dead. Right.
33:39
Yeah. OK.
33:43
There are other shows that like, because they had low ratings.
33:46
Serenity but they brought it back anyway.
33:52
Family Guy was canceled and then brought brought back later.
33:56
King of the Hill was canceled and then brought back later.
33:59
Like yeah, all these shows and then like I used to be like, oh
34:07
damn it, when can we get these shows back?
34:10
Like you're invested in them. Like charm, dude.
34:12
Like, you know, you would want to know what happened to Phoebe.
34:18
You want to wait? No, no, no, Pru.
34:20
Pru, right? Because she passed.
34:21
Pru. Got Bang Bang and you're like,
34:26
oh, what's going to happen? Is there going to be another
34:27
season? And then you get to the other
34:29
season and what's her name just shows up Paige and you're like,
34:35
this show is completely different now.
34:38
Last clothing. Well, she.
34:48
More ass, Jane says. Don't remember the exact TV
34:54
shows that stopped when summer, but I do remember what came on.
34:58
Yeah, I remember what came on. I just don't remember the last
35:02
of them one more and I was thinking about doing this for
35:13
Part 1 and Part 2 tomorrow, but this was going to be a visual
35:17
because people posted pictures on them.
35:20
So I'm gonna put I'm gonna do like a share right now.
35:24
And if you hold on, let me let me do this one with what
35:28
playground equipment did you play on that moms would never
35:30
allow today. This next one's gonna unlock
35:33
some memories and probably make a few parents listening collect
35:35
their pearls. Oh my God.
35:37
Because if you grew up in the 80s, nineties, or eventually
35:40
2000s, playgrounds were basically low budget survival
35:42
training. There were no soft soft rubber
35:45
floors, no giant safety disclaimers, no signs explaining
35:49
proper usage. It was pretty much here's some
35:53
scorching hot metal, questionable engineering and
35:56
gravity, good luck. And we all just accepted it.
36:01
We climbed 20 feet in the air on monkey bars over straight
36:04
concrete like little action heroes.
36:07
We flew off seesaws with enough force to briefly meet God.
36:11
Hi, I can believe I can fly. We grab metal slides in July and
36:20
learn real quick with third degree regret.
36:22
Boom. Feels.
36:31
Like let's not even talk about the merry go round.
36:35
That thing wasn't playground equipment, it was designed by
36:39
Chaos itself. There was always that one kid
36:42
spinning it like he was trying to lost somebody.
36:44
Crazy. And somehow your survival
36:50
dependent on upper body strength and pure fear.
36:53
And you made it through that, right?
36:55
Congratulations, you're basically forged in the same
36:57
fire as a 90s sitcom character learning a life lesson before
37:01
commercial break. So tonight's question is simple.
37:05
What playground equipment did you play on that mom today would
37:08
have a heart attack? Was it the rocket ship jungle
37:11
gym that felt 50 feet tall? The all metal slide that doubled
37:16
as a stove top? The tire swing designed to test
37:19
your neck string? The giant wooden fortress held
37:26
together by splinters and hope. Because if you grew up back
37:31
then, you didn't just play on playgrounds, you survived them.
37:34
And that might explain a lot about our generation.
37:38
All right, So hopefully I don't get the fucking.
37:46
Here we go. All right, share.
37:56
Here we go. You see it?
37:58
Yeah. OK, Celeste says this horrible
38:03
thing. I broke my arm and fell on my
38:05
head, knocked the wind out of me.
38:08
Damn, damn. Cara zu Vernix says all of
38:15
Timber Town that I grew up playing on.
38:17
Eli says Firehouse Pole. Brooks, are you talking about
38:23
moms that don't want kids riding electric bikes?
38:25
I asked is I don't, I don't see anything going on over there.
38:29
The broke of Zambian, not to mention of our playgrounds where
38:32
on straight up concrete not being soft and cushy like today.
38:37
Now there's the black tarp over it.
38:40
Like back then it was just like, damn, you're dead.
38:43
Yeah, yeah. Sky Dancer, 32, says the slide
38:49
of death got so hot you'd have third degree burns on the back
38:52
of your legs. Jane.
38:57
So hilarious. I got to come back to that Black
38:59
Widow Princess now. They have bigger, thicker metal
39:03
so you can't scrape off the backs of your knees.
39:06
Dang. That and then now that.
39:12
Oh, do you remember? You remember that?
39:15
Yeah, Yeah. OK, Angela, Carmona says Merry.
39:20
Go round the metal one, dolls. The spinning circle around
39:26
menace swinging on swings with the plastic seat that's stuck to
39:29
your legs so when you jumped off of them your skin was ripped
39:31
off. Oh God, Oh, here it feels like
39:37
Saw. Like a sob moment.
39:42
Oh metal, merry, metal merry go rounds that you hung on for dear
39:46
life as your friends spun you as fast and as hard as they could.
39:51
Not yours, says the metal rocket ship.
39:53
Slide one side with the top of the ladder to the third top
39:56
level and I slipped and fell. Oh I ended up falling through
40:00
the 2nd levels hole and I hit the metal floor of the very
40:02
bottom level. It knocked me out.
40:05
This was after school on our walk home.
40:07
There were no adults and we didn't have cell phones.
40:10
I just don't remember walking home.
40:12
Somehow my friend got me there and I remember waking up in my
40:14
bed. I did not remember he was taken
40:16
to the hospital or not. CTE man.
40:18
You had a. Concussion you had a concussion
40:23
go get yourself checked oh shit I don't remember shit, but I
40:29
just remember happening that is a lot of us here.
40:31
That is a lot of us. I don't remember what happened
40:33
at the result, but I remember what that I did it.
40:36
Yes, Jane says finally. Jane says all these haven't
40:41
tried to tower sing myself though.
40:44
You're laying on the playground crying either you got thrown off
40:47
the. Wheel of Death, yeah.
40:53
You got fried. You got tried by a slide at high
40:57
noon. Yeah, yeah.
40:59
It's that this area right here, like, oh, we're good, we're
41:03
good. OK, I'm gonna slide down.
41:05
And it was one of those slides where you're like, you didn't
41:06
slide right away. You stop right there and you're
41:10
like, and depending on how big you were or what you were
41:15
wearing at the time, if you were wearing shorts, nothing,
41:18
Nothing's moving. There's no traction.
41:23
And right here I was just like a fucking like an analyst at a
41:27
football game. It is like, OK, so right here,
41:30
this area right here. Once you get to this area right
41:33
here, you start feeling the burn and then you fucking slide off
41:39
start yelling for your mom. Number two, you got an uppercut
41:42
from A2 by 4A seesaw. #5 the swings you ran behind Hannah
41:53
high swing. You plinko through this thing.
42:00
Oh my God. And you could not skip 3.
42:07
You can skip one, but you can't skip three.
42:09
Remember when you tried skipping one of these?
42:12
The bars? Where are we?
42:20
I was reading this from comicbook.com.
42:23
The Fast and Furious TV show The Fast Saga may be ending on the
42:26
big screen, but Fast and Furious is now racing towards TV.
42:30
The future of the franchise was unclear for quite some time
42:32
after Facts Fast X released in 2023.
42:35
We talk at various points about there being either one or two
42:38
movies left to wrap things up. It's since been confirmed that
42:41
it will end with Fast Forever, which is releasing in 2028, and
42:46
that title is particularly Apartment, given the latest news
42:49
about where the series is going. Greg, have you hydrated too?
42:54
Jane wants to know. Nope.
42:57
Nope, he hasn't. You ain't his Mama.
43:01
Then right. During the NBC Universal
43:03
presentation that upfront, Vin Diesel joint host Jimmy Fallon
43:06
on stage to announce that Fast and Furious coming to Peacock,
43:09
saying Peacock is launching 4 shows in the Fast and Furious
43:11
universe. Vin Diesel will return as
43:15
executive producer, though it's not yet clear whether he'll be
43:18
involved in an acting capacity at Dominic Toretto.
43:21
However, it does seem possible if the character survives since
43:23
he specifically mentions audiences wanting more of the
43:26
legacy characters. Who wants more?
43:32
Who said this? Nobody has ever said this.
43:37
We're all like, wondering when it's going to end.
43:38
We're not saying like, can we have more movies, please?
43:41
She, not me. Not me, I'm just like, can we
43:44
just get kill it already? I mean, you brought back old
43:48
dead characters. You're bringing back fucking
43:51
Paul Walker from the dead. Can you just like leave it alone
43:55
now? Even Michelle Rodriguez saw 25
44:01
years later talking about comparing this to the Double O 7
44:05
franchise. No, there's no comparison.
44:10
And somebody has said that. Why does she look like she's now
44:15
our abuela when she used to look like our Hina, our, our, our
44:25
side chick. Now she looks like our, you
44:27
know, Grammy, he says. For the last decade, we have
44:34
realized that the fans have wanted more.
44:35
What fans are these, bro? They wanted to expand the
44:39
Legacies characters, their stories.
44:40
And for that, the last decade, the desire has been for us to
44:43
enter the TV space that Fallon has mastered.
44:47
And I had to wait till it was right.
44:48
It became right when Donna Langley started to oversee it
44:51
all because that's when I knew that the integrity of the
44:53
characters, the international appeal, what makes us all feel
44:57
like family would be protecting the TV space.
45:00
The news that I have here today is that Peacock is launching 4
45:02
shows from the Fast and Furious universe.
45:09
It should be noted as possible Vin Diesel misspoke.
45:13
Variety reports that while the actors had four, they spoke with
45:15
someone who had knowledge of situation and said there's
45:18
actually only one series in development.
45:22
That's what there's no for. That would certainly make more
45:24
sense, but it remains to be seen whether it's the case.
45:27
Deadline notes from his sources that one show set up at Peacock
45:30
with others in various stages of development across Universal
45:33
Television. So there's one already
45:35
developed, it's ready, one's ready.
45:36
The other ones are just like, alright, we're gonna, we're see
45:38
what happens. Yeah, which ones?
45:41
Like what? Freaking Ty Tyrese.
45:48
Yeah, yeah. And what's his face?
45:53
Ludacris. Ludacris and the girl.
45:58
Yeah. That's who I think it's going to
45:59
be the the show about. I watch this shit.
46:03
Because yeah, there was another show Ludacris was in like a few
46:09
a year, two years ago. I don't know.
46:12
But he they were doing some type of, you know, he was, he was an
46:16
FBI agent, I guess. And they were following somebody
46:20
in the car and another in another country and the fucking
46:25
they got stopped by one of the locals and Ludacris saw like,
46:32
move, move, get out the way, get out the way, bitch.
46:38
And I'm just sitting there laughing.
46:39
Like, no, none of the younger generation should know what the
46:42
hell that means. But hell yeah for all of us.
46:44
Hell yeah. So yeah, I, I can just see him
46:49
and Tyrese doing their whole thing and Tyrese coming back
46:55
with like, you know, my big ass forehead and saying we're
47:01
invincible because that's what he says.
47:03
Nothing's going to happen. It's like, are you kidding?
47:05
Nothing's going to happen to us. We're invincible.
47:07
We're side characters. Like I feel like Therese in the
47:12
in the movies is like self aware, right?
47:15
That everything has happened to them and he's they're still
47:17
alive. Yeah.
47:19
Yeah, and Saw and he feels like like we're in a movie.
47:22
Are we like, no dude, shut the fuck up.
47:25
How are you there? How are you alive when you died?
47:28
It doesn't make any sense. Like he's the only one that
47:31
brings it up. Jumping to TV isn't anything new
47:38
for the franchise, with the anime series Fast and Furious
47:40
Spy Racers previously released on Netflix.
47:42
You. May need.
47:45
While four be highly ambitious, one Life action series is hardly
47:48
a surprise since it's now commonplace for most franchise
47:52
to operate across live action movies and TV shows.
47:56
There's still plans for more Fast and Furious movies beyond
47:58
the release of Fast Forever. Please know after Dwayne
48:02
Johnson's return as Hobbs and Fast X, it was announced that he
48:06
was starting to spin off movie Hobbs and Reyes.
48:08
Who the fuck is rehire is? Hobbs and Reyes.
48:14
We're having a shot. Right.
48:18
Somebody. Somebody.
48:22
Hobbs and Ray is with Jason Momoa reprising his role as a
48:25
villain alongside Johnson. So he's going to live on?
48:30
Are you kidding me? However, there hasn't been much
48:34
movement on that front, so it's unclear what's happening with
48:36
it. It's true.
48:38
Standalone Fast and Furious movie that was reportedly
48:41
development of 22024. While there has been long talk
48:43
for female lead spin off, that's never materialized.
48:46
I'll grow the girls, OK? Those projects may well end up
48:49
depending on the form performance of Fast Forever.
48:52
If it's a box office hit, then Universal will no doubt want to
48:55
capitalize. And sure sure it's expand the IP
48:58
on the big screen if it underperformed and streaming
49:00
might be the way forward. The same way Ryan Reynolds just
49:03
talked about Hugh Jackman as Wolverine.
49:07
They're going to kill off Toretto forever.
49:12
There's like, oh, Toronto, you're still alive.
49:14
We're going to send you into space, back down to Earth, we're
49:18
going to send you to Mars, we're going to send you all this shit.
49:21
We might as well just do a remake of XXX.
49:26
You know? That was his project.
49:31
Did you see the trailer I sent you?
49:33
Now I get a chance to look at it bro all.
49:37
Right, The Big Bang Theory universe returns with a spin
49:45
off. They released a trailer for The
49:52
Big Bang Theory spin off. Stewart fails to save the
49:54
universe during this year CCXPMX festival in Mexico City.
50:00
The this new series with the view this July with Kevin
50:03
Sussman back in the role of comic book store owner Stuart
50:05
Bloom. However a Sussman described it,
50:10
he has met with a harebrained task.
50:13
In a YouTube video short captured by Omelette, Sussman
50:17
explained in a nutshell, Leonard and Sheldon have created this
50:19
device that Stewart winds up breaking and triggering A
50:22
multiverse apocalypse that Stewart then has to repair.
50:27
Of course, Stewart is not the right guy for the job, but on
50:29
his quest he has his friends. Those those friends are
50:34
girlfriend Denise, Lauren Lovkus, geologist Burt Bryant
50:40
Posen and Quantum Fizzes Barry John Ross, Bowie.
50:47
Oh yeah, equipment. Throughout the show, Stuart Gang
50:53
comes into contact with the alternate universe versions of
50:56
character from The Big Bang Theory.
50:57
So of course, expect several madcap adventures and laugh
50:59
along the way. I saw like a giant version of
51:03
people. That was weird.
51:06
It was also revealed at the festival that Emmy and Grammy
51:08
winning composer and singer-songwriter Danny Elfman,
51:12
Batman, The Simpsons, Tales from the Crypt, we'll have original
51:19
theme music for Stuart's to fails to save the universe.
51:24
It is the thirst that come to release as a part of The Big
51:27
Bang Theory franchise. The Young Sheldon and the crazy
51:30
George and Mandy's first marriage.
51:32
That's the first and 2nd. Early in the year, Stewart Co
51:35
creator Chuckler told People he was pretty excited about the
51:37
newest comedy and described going into production on the
51:40
Affirmation series as a big swing that could either be
51:42
revered or Rev reviled. Laura added.
51:48
I just want to do something that challenged me, that was
51:50
uncomfortable and from unfamiliar territory and that
51:53
special effect stuff, the computer graphics, all those
51:55
things. Most of my career has been two
51:57
people sitting on a couch and talk.
51:58
I wanted to try and do something with all the extraordinary
52:00
computer graphics available now and see if I could could be
52:03
funny. He has done that.
52:06
It's all like 2 1/2 men for anybody that's wondering that
52:23
wants to get those. I don't think anybody's wonder.
52:28
I just finished this year. Couple months ago.
52:41
Earlier we talked about sitcoms being wild in the 80s and 90s,
52:45
but honestly, cartoons might have been even more unhinged
52:48
too. Animation used to get away with
52:51
everything. We had absurd violence,
52:53
nightmare fuel imagery, reckless behavior, weird adult jokes
52:56
hidden in kids shows, emotionally unstable characters,
53:00
and enough cartoon trauma to last several lifetimes.
53:02
And somehow all of this aired while we were eating cereal
53:04
before school and our parents were OK with it.
53:09
You know, my mom being like the one that heard me watch Teenage
53:13
Mutant Ninja Turtle and heard me and heard Michelangelo say, put
53:17
a sock in it. And then she laughs.
53:21
And then when I say to her, Oh no, that's not funny anymore.
53:26
Thanks, mom. Appreciate that.
53:31
So in this segment, I'm going to describe old school cartoon
53:34
tropes and moments without. So in this segment, I'm going to
53:39
describe old school cartoon tropes a moment without telling
53:42
Greg the show 1st. And we're going to ask the
53:45
question, would this fly today? Because some of these cartoons
53:49
were absolute chaos and nobody questioned it at the time.
53:52
All right, the first one, a cat. A cartoon features a tiny
53:56
Chihuahua with severe PTSD screaming at everyone while
54:00
constantly suffering hallucinations, paranoia, and
54:04
emotional breakdowns. The entire joke is basically
54:07
untreated anxiety. Would this fly today?
54:13
No, no. No like why is that person
54:18
getting PTSD? Can we just have like a normal
54:22
dog? Sure, but to us back then, this
54:26
was Courage the Cowardly Dog. Yeah.
54:31
Yeah, Courage survives horrifying monsters every week
54:33
while his owners remain completely oblivious.
54:36
Have to Show feels like a panic attack in cartoon form #2A child
54:42
genius secretly runs the laboratory with highly dangerous
54:46
experiments while his sister repeatedly breaks in and nearly
54:49
causes catastrophic destruction every episode with this fly
54:53
today. I think so.
54:58
It flew today but it got cancelled because the entire
55:03
Cartoon Network out camp. But the show is dexterous
55:07
laboratory. The lab is usually destroyed by
55:12
the end of the episode, reality nearly collapses, and somehow
55:14
the parents never notice anything #3A cartoon cat and
55:21
mouse, violent attempt to murder each other using explosives,
55:25
axe, firearms, electrocution, and psychological warfare, all
55:32
with almost no dialogue with this slide today.
55:39
Hell now. We only had a movie, and even
55:46
that, that movie didn't do any of that stuff.
55:48
At all. It was rated G, but it no, it
55:54
didn't have any of the stuff that we grew up watching.
55:57
Yeah, the movie was Tom and Jerry and the show is Tom and
56:05
Jerry, obviously, but the movie was Tom and Jerry also.
56:07
And just like it was, it wasn't, it wasn't our, it wasn't ours.
56:10
It was for the new generation. Nobody learns anything.
56:15
The violence resets next episode.
56:17
Childhood continues. It does.
56:18
It continues for us #4 a kid constantly receives magical
56:23
wishes from exhaust fairy beans and instead of soaking solving
56:28
real problems, he repeatedly creates global disasters because
56:31
he wants easier homework or cooler toys.
56:35
This is not our show. This is not us.
56:39
This this show. Now the show is the fairly Odd
56:44
Parents. Yep, reality almost collapses
56:48
weekly because one child refuses to sing, sings through for five
56:51
seconds. All right, so after that I put
56:55
in my shows a stop motion celebrity fighting show where
57:01
real world public figures are exaggerated into violence into
57:09
Violet over the top gladiator matches often ending in brutal
57:13
comedic death for entertainment. Would this awesome show from the
57:18
90s fly today? Not a chance in hell.
57:22
Not the chance in hell the show. It was celebrity deathmatch.
57:28
I used to watch every episode. I had the video game, I had the
57:33
game. It was fucking awesome.
57:36
It came out in the like around early to the late 2.
57:39
Thousands. Yeah.
57:40
Because it was fun. It was fun.
57:44
So here, clay animated versions of celebrities fought an absurd
57:47
hire for violent matches that parody pop culture and celebrity
57:50
feuds. The fights always ended in
57:52
exaggerated fatalities. All played for comedy.
57:55
Somebody had posted this and I said like, all right, with this
57:58
flight today, somebody posted this saying there are no
58:01
celebrities out there anymore, only influencers or streamers.
58:06
For that to happen, they would have to be OK with them dying.
58:11
And nobody wants that, right? Or if it was all celebrities,
58:15
like our celebrity death match, none of the new generation would
58:19
know who they are, so they wouldn't watch.
58:20
It right, right. So that's why they can't bring
58:23
that back. These are too American for me.
58:29
I'm sorry, ma'am. Two teenage boys sit on the
58:38
couch constantly watching music videos with extremely
58:47
inappropriate commentary, chaos behavior, and dangerously poor
58:51
decision making skills while everyone around them slowly
58:54
deteriorates. Would these two awesome, fucking
58:58
totally cool bro show fly today? Hell no.
59:04
Shut up, Greg. Yeah, how is South Park still
59:23
around and yet they can't come up with something for right?
59:31
I mean they did a freaking let's get of it on SNL.
59:35
Yep. And when that happened, I was
59:37
just like, viewed about it, yes, it's awesome.
59:42
The duo spends most episodes insulting everything, causing
59:46
accidental chaos and misunderstanding the world in
59:48
the worst way possible ways, becoming one of the most
59:50
controversial MTV cartoons ever made.
59:52
All right, they watch music videos, and sometimes they're
59:58
like obscure music videos. War freaking.
1:00:03
Music videos that we never seen before but from rock or rap.
1:00:08
There was some rap in there too because they got away with it.
1:00:12
But if it was made today, I feel like they would be watching
1:00:16
streamers or reality. TV shows.
1:00:19
Like Kim Kardashian and talk shit about it.
1:00:23
Like shut up bitch where is he? Yay I want to see him.
1:00:29
Oh they broke up. That sucks, turn the shit off.
1:00:34
I'm not, I don't want to watch it.
1:00:36
If he's not there, go yay. See what I mean?
1:00:44
If that was done today, that would be it.
1:00:47
All right? I don't think anything could top
1:00:50
that one, but I tried. Next one.
1:00:54
A dark, surreal animated series where your psychological,
1:00:56
unstable anti hero navigate the dystopian, fragmented world
1:01:01
filled with violence, trauma, imagery and abstractory
1:01:04
storytelling that feels like a nightmare you can't fully wake
1:01:07
up from. I don't see any shows like these
1:01:13
anymore. So it's the Max.
1:01:18
And it was on MTV. Some of these shows were on MTV.
1:01:23
Yeah. Because MTV has disappeared and
1:01:25
gone and dead. Like I don't think they'll ever
1:01:26
bring it. Back.
1:01:30
The series blends reality, trauma, and fantasy as
1:01:33
characters shift between psychological state and surreal
1:01:35
out in the world. Called the Outback, it's
1:01:37
considered one of the most experimental comic adaptations
1:01:40
ever aired on TV, and it's the first time I ever thought this
1:01:43
is comic book. What the fuck No next 1A
1:01:52
grotesque adult leaning animated newsroom show featuring
1:01:56
exaggerated human anatomy, bizarre characters, and shock
1:01:59
humor that constantly pushes the boundaries of what animation was
1:02:02
allowed to be on TV. If you ever seen a big ass head
1:02:07
on your screen on MTV and a freaking alien jumping out of it
1:02:16
the story file? It was called The Head, by the
1:02:18
way. The story follows a man whose
1:02:22
giant alien head grows out of his body while he works for a
1:02:24
government agency. The tone shifts kindly between
1:02:26
absurd comedy and sci-fi horror. It was horrible.
1:02:30
I'm glad I watched it. I watched it so you guys
1:02:33
wouldn't have to That one. And I think Aeon Flux couldn't
1:02:42
be done today, especially with the way she looked.
1:02:48
The movie sucks, by the way. A cynical a cynically morally
1:03:10
bankrupt duck navigates adult life filled with failed
1:03:14
relationships, offensive humor, dysfunctional family dynamics,
1:03:18
and constantly self-inflicted disaster.
1:03:22
Like if you ever seen Monday Night Raw and after that it was
1:03:25
a show, right after that was a cartoon.
1:03:26
Duck Man. Duck Man, the main character,
1:03:31
constantly ruined his own life while delivering rapid fire
1:03:34
sarcasm and dark humor, making it one of the most adult focused
1:03:37
animes to come to the 90s. It wouldn't fly today.
1:03:42
And finally, y'all gonna love this one.
1:03:44
A hyper aggressive, overly confident guy constantly uses
1:03:49
pick up lines on women who immediately reject him, while
1:03:54
every episode reinforces exaggerated gender stereotypes
1:03:56
and physical comedy misunderstandings.
1:03:58
Oh yeah baby this would never fly.
1:04:04
This is the first scene of the first episode.
1:04:07
No, you're gone. This show sucks already.
1:04:11
The show is Johnny Bravo. Johnny repeatedly fails at
1:04:17
flirting, often getting physically punished or
1:04:19
humiliated with each episode, resetting his ego like nothing
1:04:21
happened. So yeah, being punished and
1:04:26
humiliated physically, They they went.
1:04:32
The guys would be like, Nah, no, But some of the some people
1:04:37
would be like, oh, I like this. Yeah, but no, we would.
1:04:40
That wouldn't fly. And what's fucked up is that
1:04:45
they weren't late night adult cartoons.
1:04:48
Some of them were, but not some of them.
1:04:51
Somebody's aired in prime time blocks on MTV or right after
1:04:54
school, which means an entire generation grew up thinking,
1:04:59
yeah, this is normal cartoon behavior.
1:05:03
And now we look back like there's no way this aired
1:05:05
uncensored or as the kids nowadays say, it is that AI?
1:05:13
No, motherfucker, not every. Single AI No.
1:05:17
Shit, this shit actually happened.
1:05:18
You just can't fucking fathom or understand that we lived the
1:05:25
good life while you guys are like, is that real?
1:05:30
Is that AI? Yeah, it could be.
1:05:33
Did you do something to it? Did you, like, manipulate the
1:05:38
entire thing? Oh, man.
1:05:43
All right. What time is it?
1:05:44
Do we have time for the 20 greatest wrestlers of all time?
1:05:47
What do you think you ready for? This.
1:05:50
Yeah, let's get him. All right, whenever somebody
1:05:53
ranks the greatest wrestling of all time, the Internet
1:05:55
immediately turns into a steel cage match.
1:05:58
Us. Everybody has a GOAT, an era, a
1:06:01
promo king, or you had to be their pick.
1:06:06
Sports Illustrated stepped into the ring with their list of the
1:06:09
top 20 Greatest WD Superstars of all time.
1:06:11
Which means we're doing what wrestling fans do best.
1:06:14
Debating, defending legends, yelling about rankings, and
1:06:17
absolutely questioning somebody's placement on the
1:06:20
list. Because no matter what the
1:06:23
rankings are, somebody listening right now is already angry.
1:06:27
So this is the Sports Illustrated Top 20 Greatest WWE
1:06:32
Superstars of All Time #20 Becky Lynch.

1:07:18
But just like, hey, I'm being talked about at least, you know,
1:07:22
like, yeah, you are being talked about because fucking king of
1:07:24
the ring when you fell off the fucking cage.
1:07:27
And from that moment on, like, oh, we're all paying attention
1:07:30

1:07:35
Yeah, because we all TuneIn to him #18 Chris Jericho, OK #17 CM
1:07:51
Punk, at least he's there. I don't mind.
1:07:55
It's all good. He don't know so.
1:07:58
He deserves a higher spot, but all right, also this person

1:08:25
edge. #13 Rowdy Roddy Piper. Same with number 11, Randy 7.
1:08:56
What the fuck? #10 Bruno Sammartino, I would

1:09:19

You. Those are like, I will say Randy

Savage forever. Kurt Angle, yes, Kurt Angle,
1:11:44
especially Perk Kurt Angle. Perk Kurt Angle was fucking.
1:11:50
Beast. Diabolical.
1:11:55
There it
1:12:20
is. I'm not even going to argue with
1:12:23
that. Yeah, yeah, Mick Foley deserves
1:12:29
to be on the list. It's fine where he's at.
1:12:32
Maybe #20 Edge, Kurt Angle, Randy Savage, Shawn Michaels

1:12:44
Sorry, but still. Undertaker should be higher.
1:12:48
The Rock, Stone Cold are fine. We're
1:13:12
at. Yeah, the corner maintained.
1:13:23
Nice, we're at 107.2 K views. That's just going to go on
1:13:33
forever. Hell yeah, that's what I'm
1:13:51
talking about. What is it?
1:13:52
May 16th. No.
1:13:53
Somebody's either quinceanera or.
1:13:56
No, it's so basically it's a carnival for three days.
1:14:07
They had a parade today. You go downtown, get that stupid
1:14:16
so you know. When I do the the DVD physical
1:14:47
media. Mm hmm.
1:14:48
We're gonna do the best the moms.
1:14:52
Yeah yeah. Favorite mom movies.
1:15:00
All right, and then graduation ceremonies and whatever you did
1:15:08
after, after the ceremony, like at home and and at the end of
1:15:16
May. And then we get to summer.
1:15:18
Hell. Yeah.
1:15:21
All right, you ready it out? OK.
1:15:26
All right. And just like that, another late
1:15:27
night hang out here in my third place.
1:15:29
Come to close. Tonight really felt like one of
1:15:32
those classic porch episodes. School dance memories, summer
1:15:35
cliffhanger trauma. I'm going to rephrase that.
1:15:38
I'm going to do another post. Look, motherfucker, that's what
1:15:42
I was asking about. What was the fucking TV show
1:15:45
that you guys were like, Oh my God, I need it back.
1:15:48
Not, you know, I went like this. Oh, no.
1:15:53
Great. Some summer cliffhanger trauma,
1:15:58
Magic Gathering somehow crossing over with Ninja Turtles,
1:16:00
Questionable financial decisions involving books we actually did
1:16:03
not need to buy yet but I did, and somehow we also ended up in
1:16:08
the universe where Fast and Furious might become his own
1:16:09
television network. I hate that that's the kind of
1:16:14
chaos this show was built for. Huge thank you to Greg for
1:16:17
pulling up to the porch tonight and helping bring all these
1:16:19
memories back to. Life.
1:16:21
And of course, thank you to everybody listening, whether
1:16:23
you've been here with us since the early days or just recently
1:16:25
found your way to the porch. Make sure you check out the
1:16:28
YouTube channel as well, where we've got gaming streams, live
1:16:32
podcast episodes, and the ongoing dungeon crawler Carl
1:16:35
book one reading and analysis series continuing over there
1:16:38
too. I break it all down over there
1:16:40
here. Like I'm reading it and I'm
1:16:43
reading it. I'm breaking it down too.
1:16:45
Like the exact date that this should happen because he wrote
1:16:52
in 2020. But I'm just like, you know, he
1:16:56
said. It happened on a Tuesday and it
1:16:59
just hit generator. So I'm like, let me go back to
1:17:01
the calendar. When was the last time generator
1:17:04
happened? Yeah.
1:17:05
It was in, it was in 2017, so, you know, hell yeah.
1:17:12
So he, it takes place in January 17, 2017.
1:17:15
And it feels like, you know, it feels like he was ahead of his
1:17:18
time, like everything that's going on now with the whole
1:17:23
streamers and all that shit, he's doing it in 2017.
1:17:26
He's riding it down in 20/17/2020.
1:17:30
And that is fucking. Crazy.
1:17:33
Next week, we're diving even deeper into those end of school
1:17:36
year memories. Not the graduation ceremony
1:17:39
itself. Not the cap and gown pictures.
1:17:41
We mean, what happened after? Did you go out to eat with
1:17:44
family? Did you spend one last night
1:17:46
hanging out with friends before summer summer officially
1:17:49
started? Was there a party, a bonfire, a
1:17:52
late night drive with music blasting?
1:17:53
Because nobody wanted the night to end?
1:17:56
Because everybody remembers Graduation Day differently, but
1:17:59
almost everybody remembers what happened that night.
1:18:03
And we're also asking another question that guaranteed unlock
1:18:05
memories and maybe a little fear.
1:18:06
What more more we're going to we're going to keep it going.
1:18:10
What playground equipment did you grow up playing?
1:18:12
That mom today would never let their kids touch.
1:18:16
We want to hear more of it. We want more of the stuff.
1:18:20
We want to see those answers. Somebody's playground felt less
1:18:23
like Reese's and more like obstacle course designed by
1:18:26
action movie stunt coordinators. The metal slides in July, the
1:18:29
giant rocket ship, the spinning death traps, the seesaws that
1:18:31
felt like actual combat. If you know, you know.
1:18:35
So bring your stories back to the porch next week.
1:18:39
Hey, before I really go, Greg, take a breath with me.
1:18:43
Chat listeners, breathe in. Take a breath with me.
1:18:48
Let the memory settle, hold on to the moment that made you
1:18:51
laugh tonight, and carry that energy into whatever comes next.
1:18:56
Thank you for spending this time here in my third place.
1:18:59
Not home, not work, just a space where we show up, tell stories,
1:19:03
and leave the porch light on for whoever needs it.
1:19:06
Take care of each other, take care of yourself.
1:19:09
This is M3 podcast where community, creativity, and
1:19:11
nostalgia always have a seat on the porch and we will see you
1:19:15
next time. Adios.
