Time for our intro song. Is the gamer girl saga over? And did I find the one? Well so this is the long intro, what do you think it is? Oh I'm sorry, hold on. Yes and welcome back to a questionable episode of The Average Voice Podcast. I'm checking the story, it's over there, all of you. I'm Troy, here's Jackson. Do you froze on my screen for a second there? Amazing. I hope it didn't freeze on your end. No, it hasn't, yep. Yes, touch what? Yes. You know the worst part right? Like I had a bunch of things I thought about talking about. Like over the past, almost every day I'd be like oh we can, I can talk about this, we can talk about this, nothing. I forgot the window. Literally on my way home today when I was talking, what was I talking about you, what was I talking to you about today? You're complaining about your, your worries about getting copyright strikes or printed IDs and reaction videos. Copyright striking thing with reaction videos. Guys they were ridiculous. Tell Troy to balls up and upload react videos already because. No, I don't want to lose my youtube account. In a world you wait, you lose your youtube account. I don't think it won't happen. Look, I don't think I would lose my youtube account. No, you won't. The idea of starting another account in case that's, because out of all the videos that have that sort of issue, react videos are the worst. Look, if you, if you lose all your subscribers somehow on percicles, you could just subscribe to them on the average blokes for crying aloud. Oh, and I just, I just realized I just clicked on, I just clicked on youtube, that is true, but that's why it's part of your account. Yes. Another thing I wanted to talk about was the, like I don't know if you heard about this, what am I talking about? Of course you heard about this. The power world Pokemon thing going on. Oh yeah, no, that was hilarious. That's very funny. But no, but do you not really shocks me? Like I'm, I'm legit, I mean, I'm not that shocked, but I am a little bit annoyed. Taken back. You're a gust. Look, it's, it's not, it's one of those things where I don't care enough to think about it, right? But when I do think about it, I'm like, oh yeah, that makes sense. Of course that's the case, right? And it's the fact that Pokemon have patented a bunch of different game mechanics. I had no idea that they'd done that and at the same time I'm sitting there going, well, of course they've done that. And of course every other game company's done that. And all this other bullshit. And it's, but it, but it frustrates me that like they've patented the idea of a character walking behind a tree and there's a shadow cast. How can you, I'm not a game mechanic like that. Was it? I wouldn't even call that a mechanic. I called it a visual thing. Was that a actual thing? Is that what it said? Because I remember just digitally seeing someone saying. They have a pattern that says specifically when the character walks out of view of the screen behind a building or a tree. I think it actually says tree as an example. It casts a shadow behind it. Because yeah, the thing I saw that the pattern was about was the fact that there were certain designs of Pokemon that were infringed upon. So basically like there was a designer on the game who came out on X for me known as Twitter and saying, look, this is what I wanted to do. The boss just said, look, search up the most popular Pokemon ever. And then just, you know, basically copy them, but like make them slightly different. Oh, no, that's completely, no, that's not where the issue is. That was, okay, that wasn't okay. Nintendo isn't even going after that. That's just what people have pointed out. Yeah, because that's what the, that is the self said though. They came out and said, hey, this is what happened. Oh, that's interesting. So the thing about that is like with the Pokemon designs and all that is, I'm pretty sure they're allowed to do that. I'm pretty sure they're allowed to, because that's an artistic choice. That's like taking a character from like, for example, Yu-Gi-Oh. And I don't know if you ever watch Yu-Gi-Oh, the original Yu-Gi-Oh. His hair's pretty spiked up and he's got blonde in his hair and all that. You could make the argument that his hair's kind of like a drag ball. Yeah, exactly, right. Now, there is less of an argument with that, because there is a completely different art style when it comes to Yu-Gi-Oh versus drag ball Z. Like, there's definitely a different art style. But if you were to take a cartoonish style three-dimensional character, right? Like, that sort of thing, you'd go in that, you'd go in that direction. Like, I don't think you can, I don't think you can copy it. Well, the thing is, you know, so specifically, I mean, this is just a Pokemon example. There's been so many ROM hacks and custom Pokemon games that have used 2D pixel animation sprites. And those games are still existing, like all these ROM hacks of Emerald or, for example, there's a game called something Fusion, maybe. And they've just basically got every Pokemon available, including the latest gen into this 2D RPG game where, you know, even the newer Pokemon have got sprites for 2D pixel. And so a lot of them have been taken down, though, as well. Yes, I mean, that is true. That's the things, especially the ones that try to make money off it. Correct. Right. But how do I explain it? So with those games, right, they're literally taking a Pokemon and changing the color slightly. Yeah, that's different, yeah, I think. Like, you take the example of, because they've got the, like the prime example is Raiku, not Raiku. What's his name? The big tall dog Pokemon, the blue one, Lucario. He's a dog. I guess he's a dog. Well, what is he then? I don't know, he's a dog, but he's tired. He's literally a wolf-shaped creature. He's a bipedal wolf dog thing. bipedal. Anyway, how else has got a Pokemon? No, a Pokemon. Well, there you go. It's got a power. It's got a monster. It's got a monster. Called Anubis. And it's basically like very, it's a carbon copy of Lucario, the 3D Lucario. But they've changed it around, and it looks more Egyptian. It's color schemes different. And it is actually a slot. It is actually a different creature, but it's, it's, it's hot and it's built a very similar, the same as Lucario's. So I'm pretty sure, I'm pretty sure they can actually get away with that, because there are, because you can alter stuff. You can take something that exists like that, like a Pokemon, an alter it to a degree, where you can essentially make it your own. You can get away with, yeah, you can change it. The main thing is, as long as it's not associated with the, with the original. So the kara is a canine-like animal. However, it's based on canine, like it's, it's the one that's after K8. Oh, okay. Yeah. So what's a canine? What's a canine? It's the Kilomeres. No, I don't know. That's some good definition. No, because here, who know who you are? The kara appears to be based on the Egyptian. That's a 4K, myself, but... I mean, HDC, yeah, whatever. The kara appears to be based on the Egyptian god of funerals, and the dead Anubis, who is the head of an African golden wolf. So you could argue that it looks like a kara, or you could argue it's like the Egyptian Anubis based on that. Yeah. You can't actually, did you say Lucario is based off the Egyptian thing? Yes, yes. Well, there you go, the actual... Well, there's a power called Anubis that's also based. So that's the argument with that character that they could... Like, Prokamok, say you stole our design, and Powerwall could go, no, we both designed it off the same Egyptian god. Yeah. Or an Egyptian thing. Yeah, that's right. Yeah, they could make that argument. But that's not even what they're going after. Apparently, they're going after game mechanics and stuff like that, and patterns. Like, I'm looking at a video that just came up about how it's, quote, stolen poker balls. Which is interesting, because now I think about it. I mean, this is very game-centric, and I will get away from this eventually. But I was going to say, the thing we'd like poker balls. No, they're not, not only. The thing is right. So Digimon, there's not many Digimon games where, you know, Digivolve, like, you don't see many Digimon games, because Pokemon's got that market pretty sold. No, it's not... Digimon's a different issue. Digimon, Digimon, it's more of a... It's more of a nobody watches or plays Digimon anymore. Yeah. Like, Pokemon sort of caught the market on that. Yeah, that's what I was trying to say, yeah. And a lot of Digimon games are like, they can't do the same as Pokemon, because you don't really catch. You only have one Digimon, for example, most of the time. The Digimon games are pretty, like, and they're more RPG-based games as well. Mm-hmm. Very enough. And that's partly because Pokemon does own a lot of patterns and all that. But the only thing Digimon and Pokemon have in common in regards to, like, they're there, is the fact that they both evolve to a degree. And Digimon only evolve, like, if they go up and then they come back down. Yeah, okay. Fair enough. All right. Well, let's move on from the gaming stuff, because I want you to small talk. And specifically, kind of a thank you and/or highlight to mention is we've... Well, Troy made the discovery that you can actually make playlists a thing. So for podcasts, so... That's right. All of our video episodes are available on YouTube under the podcast playlist. And we have been receiving some nice amount of viewership. I mean, it is a little numbers, but it's more than we never expect. So thank you to everyone who has been watching and/or listening. And chat to pumpkin pie eaters still, because I'm still there. All right, good small talk. Moving on. No, I had out of hearts, but I forgot what they were. Anyway, I wouldn't even call what you just said, small talk. You're just happy. You're just happy. We got in the, we got over 20 views on something. No, I've watched myself 40 times. That's what happens. It was just your 40 times. I don't do it. Ah, that's right. I forgot I left the computer running with YouTube on on loop with... It should do that actually. It should do that actually. We can play all of them loop. Play all the loop, yeah. Repeat even, but yes. I mean, we can always pay. Honestly, we can always just pay for like a thousand bots to go view. And you can do that. Thanks. I know. You can do that. Just one. We just get them to watch one and then naturally more of them come. They come fucking in. Hey, getting a million views. I don't know, but nobody in the world has heard of me. I don't even join a discord. Could you imagine having like 10 million subscribers, right? And you're like, yeah, people recognize me. But you live in Australia. And then you walk out into the, you walk out in the real world and it's like nobody recognizes you. What's going on here? I thought at least one person would be subscribed. And then you look and it's like, oh, all the viewers are like from this one house in like a central Africa or something. It's like, it's funny. You mentioned that because Jimmy got a bit wet. He was like, or central India or something like that. And we're storing audience involvement. And they ask him, well, what's like being famous? And he goes, well, it's like being in a village and every day you have dementia where someone goes, hey, Jimmy, how are you? And he goes, who are you? So yeah, but then I was like, if you have 10 more subscribers, like I feel like most of the Australian general public, even an example, if we had 10 more subscribers, which will never happen, but just for example, there would be barely anyone on the street, but don't let your dreams be dreams. Yeah, because Australia is usually dreams be dreams. Set your goals low. It's easier. Don't have dreams. Let your dreams not be dream. Just sleep. Just go to sleep. Just don't dream. Just don't even. Yeah. Okay. But yeah, yeah, so I was basically trying to say like, even like if you had like a certain amount of subscribers, like 10 million or whatever, there might be like the odd one in every 100 person or 500 people that might recognize you on the street, but yeah, it's nothing to be too abused by it. Okay, well, you say that right, but there's a guy. What was his name? You must be got a lot of subscribers if you can't remember his name. Well, I mean he's not exactly my, he's not exactly my, my cup of tea. My cup of tea. It's some guy who's posted his whole life on the internet. He's a bit of a nut job, right? Oh, good. I love a nut job. In the sense that he's got his own religious idea that all fictional characters actually exist in a different dimensional dimension. Oh, yes. The alternative universes. Yes. It was like, no, I want to say Captain Sparkle, but that's someone different. Yeah, he had a weird name. And the guy was like a transgender this, that, this, but he got arrested, right? Yeah. And as he was getting arrested, the cops were surprised because just like crowds of people were showing up and it was not planned. Like a bunch of people were like shouting out to him going, yeah, it's that guy. The cops were like, what's going on here? And he goes, yeah, sorry. I'm very famous on the internet. Allegedly. And they were just surprised with how many people were rocking up. And no one was no one was having to go or anything. They were just surprised that when it showed him on the street, when people knew where he was, a bunch of people rocked up there. Yeah, yeah, fair enough. Yeah. But what was weird, yeah, was the guy's weird belief system. Gotcha. Believe, yeah. Ah, it's that's right. I just remembered it was Sanichu or whatever it is. Sanichu. Okay. I don't think I've heard the name but fair enough. Is he American? Yes. Okay, fair enough. I think it's Sanichu. Oh, no, the character that he created. He's got an original, Hannah, where is it? Down the rabbit. Christian, it was Chris Chan, Chris Chan. Oh, yes, yes, yes. I heard about that. Yes. Yeah, I did hear about that. There's a little drama. I jumped from the character that he created. And also, he's also, he's quote unquote. Yeah, why? Sanichu. I jumped from that and I got to, because I just searched it and then I got to the name through a search. Oh, my goodness. Good also, Anichu. Yeah. Because this guy, he's got, what is this guy's deal? Does he have a YouTube or not? What's the deal with him? But he was just an artist on a blog or something, wasn't he? Yeah, I guess I have no idea, but it's got him getting arrested. But I don't know why he's getting arrested. Like, I think, I think, obviously, I think someone was trolling him or something. Possibly. But, I don't know, but yeah, it was a bit. Yeah, I don't know what the deal was with that. It was, I just, I was just, I was looking at the body cam, because it's got like the body cam footage and the car footage of the police car. And he's telling the cop like it's what's going on with him. And that he's married to Sanichu. He's original character and all characters like Batman are real. And they're going to come to the world one day. And I'm like, what the fuck is this? What the heck? What am I, what the hell I could think was? What is going on in America? What is with that country? What happened? Well, you say? What happened? You say a long time ago, when the British landed there, that's when they should have stopped. Not for us, you American, so long ago. A long time ago, the British should have won the civil night. That Boston Tea Party, I'll tell you what. You know what I think is really weird, right? When you think about it from historically alterations, what ifs and eyes is if the British, if the British hadn't, if they hadn't had the civil war and the British hadn't, hadn't have lost, the Nazis might have won World War II. I'm going to make it another funny, what if- It's a possibility. What if American assassinations were good at their job? What if American assassins? Because like, I was into the chase the other day and they were talking about, well, we're in partnership, like we're allies with America, what good is being with America, who have people who can't shoot their own president twice. We can't shoot their own president. I mean, that's a good thing in some ways, but the people that have good security apparently- Yeah, no. Although apparently both times the security would did a terrible job. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, I don't think we can trust that a country can't protect their own president candidate. What happened? Where did it all go wrong? I just can't believe two in a row, that's really- What I find really confusing right is, so they had Donald Trump for president for a few years, right? Yes. But while he was campaigning the first time, you think that's when people would have gotten like, they would have lost it and sort of gone, you know, oh, someone's got to take care of him, you know what I mean? Yeah, I think so. But there were people talking about it. There were heaps of people talking about it. Heck, it even had famous people on social media like going, oh, somebody needs to stop this guy, wink, wink, or somebody needs to- Like, I'm pretty sure someone literally said someone needs to shoot him. Wink hard, so when you're aiming. But, like, this is now the second time round. There's actually, I guess, third time, actually. I think it's- Yeah, third campaign for him. Now some, now people want to start shooting him? Yeah, I just want to raise something, Troy. You know how we had an episode called We Might Get Banded in US? I think we were definitely going to get banded in US after this one. I doubt it. I mean, we're not endorsing that. No, we're not endorsing it. I don't think any Australian is able to endorse- Such thing. Like, such things. Yeah, we can't talk. We can't talk. Yeah. 'Cause the only people that have guns are people in the Northern Territory for shooting cocks. Yeah, that's understandable. We live out in the country who are hunting. And people like my brother who have a rifle for both. Specifically the cocks. He goes out hunting and he's going up to the Northern Territory. Oh, was he okay? He's probably going to bring his rifle with him. Or something. I think he's got a shotgun, maybe. He's going to make his mark on the crocodile population. I mean, you could. They do do that, actually. They do have control. They do have control. They stop the cocks from getting into the more populated areas. So they do, what's the word I'm looking for here? Not a cleansing, but they do. They do do population control. Yeah, I know what we're trying to say. Because the crock population has shot back up to normal numbers. Or where they were back before people started shooting them constantly. I think culling was the word, maybe. I'm not sure. Do you have any small hearts, you want to talk about? Or anything, small talk-ish? Oh, nope. I've got a fun one tonight. I mean, I had my brother's wedding on the weekend. That was nice. Happy birthday. Thank you. My brother's wedding. Yeah, I know. Just like imagining, you know, someone's just having the wedding and then you rock up like, "Yeah, Merry Christmas." I'll just get in completely, you know, just a... And that was good at all. And, you know, bought a new suit for that. But I guess my main highlight of the week is my computer, my laptop broke. So I've had to buy a tablet. Oh, yeah, nice. And yeah, look at that. The case coming with it? Yeah, the case coming. No. This is just a cheap case that I bought from OfficeWorks. Okay. I'll sponsor it by Koga. No, no, no, no. Well, here's the thing that annoys me right. So, no one else sells. This is a Samsung Galaxy A9 tablet, right? And it's already big enough for me. Nobody sells this, right? They all sell the pluses. They all sell the A9 Plus. And they all... They all only supply cases and covers for the Plus. So I'm even annoyed. So I have to buy a case online. I'm about to make it a really annoying joke. You think after they create the Samsung Galaxy, they call it the next one, the Far Far Away. Samsung Far Far Away. Yeah, but then you wouldn't get it. But Galaxy Far Far Away, like Star Wars. Sorry. Yeah, but like I said, you wouldn't get it. Yeah, I know. You wouldn't get it. So I got it. And did you get it? I got it. I'm bored of... Shred, you see. Disappointed! Thanks. So the thing I was going to mention before, oh, after was I went to a school today. That was an all German school. And I couldn't help but... Yeah, in Melbourne. And I couldn't help but... Do you walk past everyone? Dust for Donk. Oh, no, that's Russian. No, that's Russian. No, that's what looked at me weird. Donk, yeah. I mean, they're pretty close to each other. So, you know, not that close, but close enough. Yeah, yeah. It's Europe. Dust for Donk, yeah. Dust for Donk, right? Yes. Donk or Schoen, they would have said probably. I don't know. Yeah, no, it was really interesting. So all German, everything was German, except for the switchboard labeling. But, um, yeah, no, so... Well, thank goodness for that. Of course, you would have had to have learned a new language. Elic, too. Now, boss, I can't... I don't know German. What? Just test and tag this. No, no, I can't. It's all in German. What do you mean it's all in German? Dust is kaput. What do you mean? What do I mean? Yeah, no, so it was kind of interesting, because there was one room I was working in. And they had this pin up. Kind of like a word, Gary thing. So you were a German school? Yeah, and an old German school. And one of the words on there, which was particularly highlighted, "Concentration." I'm like, wow. It's in the corner. It said, it's in the corner, it said camp. I'm like, wow, really playing into the history. Was there a mine for you? No. Mind you, I think it might have been a time out room, but, uh, yeah, that was... No, no, it was the concentration room. [laughs] You found the concentration room. Yes, it was very small. Had a TV at least. Right next to the boiler room. Oh, wait, had a TV, though. Well, it's actually next to the kitchen. Sorry, who knows? Oh, there you go. Well, the canteen. Oh, there's a boiler in there. Probably. Fryer. Fryer. Maybe. Sorry, wait, so you went to this school, and it was like full-on, everything was written in German and done in German. Almost, yeah. Why? That's very confusing. Yeah, I didn't think there was much of a German population in Melwinter. There'd be enough to have an old German school, basically. Well, I'll say it old German, but yeah. It's a hundred... Well, it is old German, and maybe a few people that might want to learn German. Yeah. 'Cause like, so this... Was it set up differently than a normal high school? I assume it was a high school. It was just like a private school. Yeah, basically like a private school. Was it set up building? It wasn't set up differently. Like, different chairs, different this. No. So everything didn't say, I don't know, like, not IKEA, but what's the German equivalent? What's the German? IKEA's slush, isn't it? Yes, it is sweet. Yeah, yeah. What's the German equivalent of IKEA? Book's wagon, no. That's what I was thinking. Did everything say Volkswagen and Volvo on it? So it would have been like... No, it would have been like... Ah, Bosch. Bosch, whiteboard. Bosch table, Bosch, whiteboard. Hey, Bosch is good quality. No, no, that is so true. Bosch is pretty dang good. Not sponsored, but complimenting them at least. This actually makes me think of a point that I saw. So I was watching... I think it was on TikTok or something. I went on TikTok, by assuming. But an ad played, right? An ad for for Ryobi. For a Ryobi vacuum cleaner. You know, the Dyson vacuums, the walking... What are they called? Yes. The non-plugging ones. What are they called? The battery, the wireless... The battery power one. The battery vacuums. Anyway, it had like frigging... Fruit loop cereals on the floor in two piles. Oh, yes! I don't see that. You see that? What the... It's the Dyson versus the Ryobi, and the Ryobi comes through and zooms, sucks them all up, and the Dyson's like... Oh, not sucking any of them up, and then the person who's using the Dyson just pulls it back and gives up, while the Ryobi person's like, "Oh, suck them all up." And I'm thinking to myself, "You know a bunch of fucking dickheads." What the fuck? Do you think we're stupid or something? What the fuck? Do you think the kids... Why does everybody, calls and say for any other worst at this, think that every consumer is a dickhead? No. That's not the dickhead. They just don't think they're stupid. Why do companies think the people that pretty much work for them most of the time, and the people that pay for their stuff, think they're idiots? The other day, an article came up with me, it was a news article about how... Oh, the government's suing Coles and Safeway, not Safeway. Coles and Woolworths for price gouging, and relying about specials, and this time... They had this price for this product for 365 days, but in the last 80 days, they put the price up by $2, and then in the last 30, they dropped it back, but it's still higher than it was for the past 900 days. And I'm thinking to myself, and it shows the videos of people, it's got the on sale sticker, and you flick it up, and it's got the original price, and it's the same. It's the same. And I'm sitting there going like, "We all know this, we all already knew this." That's why a lot of people... That's why more people are going to Aldi, and Aldi's more trusted, is because everyone looks at these Coles specials, or these Woolworth specials, and we all know they're not on special. We all know this, and it's taken the government bloody six or seven years to go, "Oh, we better, but it put a stop to this." But the other thing is too, the reward system doesn't even line up accurately to why how it should. So you can spend like 30,000 points to get a frying pan, which 30,000 points is not easy to get. That's like a lot of shops shopping. However, you can probably buy said frying pan for like 20 bucks. In store. I'm pretty sure... Courtney! Not this. No. Number three? Number three? No, wait, I don't think we got the frying pan. I wish they offered a frying pan, but we got everything else under the sun from them. Because we actually got the points. Oh, yes, you claimed them. Very fair enough. Yeah, and it just so happens that we end up getting that much by the end of it. But it's... Because we used to do it for fuel. That's what the dockets would get. Yeah, well, I never used to bother with that. That was back in the day when, you know... But anyway, I don't understand how they like... They've been doing this price thing with specials and half price when it's not for years. They've been doing it for years. The only reason people are getting more upset now and complaining now, and same thing with the government actually kind of do something. No, no, because they've used the excuse of the cost of living to put every single product up by three dollars. And then they've brought it back down by two. So they're like, "Oh, now it's on special." Look at the good guys. And they tear around and they say shit like, "Oh, it's because of the cost of the... They gave excuses." Inflation? Oh, they both gave two different excuses. That's why you know they're bullshitting. Woolworth said, "Oh, I can't remember what they said something about supply, maybe I don't know." And Cole said, "Oh, the cost of living is going up." I'm thinking to myself, "Oh, that makes perfect sense. Yeah, the cost of living is going up." Meanwhile, you guys are making a 0.6% profit, or 0.7% to 0.6% profit. And companies like... Companies in America like they do the same thing, like Costco and all that, are all around 0.5% profit. They're making a huge, much more profit than they used to. They've made more money in the past three years than they have in the past seven. Troy, I'm gonna say number three. Yeah. She says, "You can tell Troy I can't move as axles or sleep on me." Okay. Can you text her back? Troy wants you to go to sleep. Why do you go to sleep? There's no point being texting anymore. You should do it anyway. What are you said? No, you should text that to her. What are you said? Yeah, so like I was thinking like, what should, because what worse is the fresh food... Is it worse or cold? It's the fresh food people. I can't remember anymore. It's more worse. I think it's more worse, but... She says she wants to sleep, but she can't move. Well, that's her problem then. That's your problem then. Give it to the chair! I'll go back to what I was saying. You know, the Ryobi ad. I'm sitting there. Half the people in the comments are not... They're not dumb, but they're not thinking better than enough. They're all going, half the people are going, "Oh, you should turn on the Dyson." That's a good start. But if you look carefully, the person does turn on the Dyson. They just take a second to turn it on, and then start using it, and then they immediately pull it back and turn it off. Then the other half of the people will go, "Maybe you should use the right Dyson attachment for vacuuming on time." Because the things that vacuuming though, the ads could be so easily played in the way that you film the shot of the spot where they're vacuuming. You basically do a before shot and an after shot, but the after shot is the before and after that makes sense. So you just edit the screen to make it look like it. It reminds me of those old TV ads where the person immediately throws dust on the carpet in one spot, and then they get the vacuum in. And they're like, "See how quickly it cleans the dust I just put on the ground." That's the morning TV. See how well it cleans up the dust that was just surface level? The guy from the Channel 7 sunrise, "That's rockwood, and right now you get two for the price of one, and we'll shoot out of the fella first." That'd be cool. Why are they giving these things away? But that's not all. Right now, we'll throw in this crusted diamond ring free of charge. And we'll say, "We don't know why you'd want a diamond ring, but we'll give you one." Anything for you to make sure you buy our stupid vacuums? That's right, Jetty. But the ad made me think, does Ryobi think people, first of all, do they think people who buy vacuums are stupid, or do they just think their consumer base is stupid? I mean, to be fair, Ryobi's a weird brand to be going to vacuums, don't you think? Honestly, they go into everything. They go into all sorts of things at the moment. Because Dyson's the main brand of vacuums do you think of, like in Australia? I think the only reason Ryobi's... I don't even know how Ryobi does well, especially in Australia. Nobody in a trade really uses Ryobi. Most of the people that use Ryobi tools in my industry, up cleaners. Is it like... Because the main ones would be same as keto and Bosch. Well, the main two would be my keto and Bosch, do you reckon? So Bosch is up there, but Bosch is sort of... It depends on what job you're doing with a Bosch. Yeah, okay. So Bosch have better grinders and things like that. Makita is just a good all-arounder as well as Milwaukee. A lot of carpenters in that use Makita or Milwaukee. Okay. I would say... But nobody, nobody, I don't think, properly uses any of their brands, any of those brands when it comes to nail guns. Yeah, yeah. It's Pat... Not Panasonic, Paslo, or whatever it is. I saw there was this stupid video where the guy had four different brands of torque guns like those. Basically, there's quick ones. Yeah, there was... Oh, what kind of load? Majority of people who use nail guns, so carpenters and stuff like that, use Paslo'd or Paislo'd or however you want to pronounce it. There was a weird blue brand. I can't remember what the name it was, but they had an old torque gun thing. I think I've brought this up before, but the guy I used to work with, he used to use Panasonic drills. It might have been Panasonic, but I don't know. Panasonic, you don't see very many people using Panasonic, like, tools. Because... Drill. Or not drill, but rotary drill. Here they are. And to be honest, they look really nice to Panasonic. Panasonic drill and impact driver, that's it. Impact driver, thank you. I put motor guns, I'm like, that doesn't feel right. But they're also really expensive. So, a Panasonic drill and impact driver, right? From Amazon. And these are the ones that my... The guy I used to work with, not my boss, but the guy I used to work with used all the time. They... Well, maybe they're the crap ones. Let's have a look. No, they're the good quality ones. The walled, that's right. So, for a drill set with one battery. Oh, no, with two batteries. It'll set you back $750 from Amazon. Yeah, okay. $750 for a drill set. That's ridiculous. D-wall had a little impact driver, and this guy who did a review of it, between the D-wall and Arobi and Milwaukee. The D-wall was not that great. A Panasonic rotary hammer will set you back $939. That's ridiculous. So, for reference, if I were to search... Makeda... Drill. Makeda rotary drill. So, Makeda... Makeda rotary drill. Let's see. This has really become a man's episode. Talk about politics, gaming, and now tools. I don't know how gaming is very manly. I don't think it's a manly at all, but that's me. Wow. Fair enough. So, a Makeda rotary will go with a brushless... We'll go with a brushless brushless. Finding spots rust will tell you about all your products that you totally use. So, well, anyway, they're all under... They're all under $600. Like, the cheapest you'll get is like $300 or something. Meanwhile, it's $900 for a rotary hammer drill that's... That's probably the cheap one from Panasonic. But can they beat it by 10%? Not a chance. Damn. That's a shame. Oh, yeah. He also had a multi-purpose cutter. It's funny that we mentioned about the Coles as well worth simply, but like, we haven't questioned Bunnings. Hmm? A lot of Bunnings. When it comes to their practices and all that. Integrity, yes. Well, it's because Bunnings are good. Bunnings doesn't lie to people. Bunnings doesn't bullsh it. Well, no, I guess they don't really want to. Well, they shouldn't. Well, the thing is, right. So, if they put Bunnings for starters, they don't have their own stock, which is part of the good thing. Oh. And I actually got told by someone who worked for a company that like designed stuff like that, they told me that if you want your product at Bunnings, right, you actually have to set up the shelves yourself the first time. Oh. So, if they say you want to introduce, I'm trying to think of a brand. Say you want to introduce Bosch at Bunnings, because I don't think Bunnings has Bosch. At least I haven't seen any Bosch tools. If you want to introduce Bosch to Bunnings, they'll go right, yep, put it in the tools section. We'll put it, you figure out how you want to set it up, we'll put it in place, or where you want to fit it around, and then we'll do it from there. Oh, okay. But it's just more of a, like, they're not trying to, they're not upping the prices, they're not trying to trick people or anything like that. But the other thing is, even if Bunnings like put on a 10% extra, so they do the reverse. They say if you can find it cheaper anywhere else, you know, we'll beat it by 10%. So, that means they keep their price competitive, not just with other stores and all that, but also with the companies themselves. Because if I go to Bunnings and I go, I want to buy this Makita circular saw, and I go, I can get it from Makita directly for this price, but you're offering this price. Can you build by 10%? And it's like, you know, why would I buy it from you guys when I can buy it from them online? The only reason I'd buy it from you guys instead is because I can get it today rather than in three or four days. And then obviously, you know, we'll beat it by 10%, so they'll lower the price so you get it cheaper than you would from Makita directly. That's right. Just imagine if Coles or Woolworths had that sort of ideology about competitive prices and actually being honorable. Well, could you imagine if Coles or Woolworths, like one of them said, will beat it by 10%? I know. Because they've both got the same product lines as well. So imagine the wars, like the food wars that would start. We're trying to sell 100 plus cheaper. Yeah, exactly. I'll go to that one. Yeah. I think it's kind of funny because the things like 100 plus, like things they bring in from out of Australia, it's kind of funny because those things have it increased in price. No, which is hilarious considering like, like the international food section, like they're so mean. It doesn't change. Yeah. For some reason. Wait a minute, are you saying? I think I know why though. I think I've got a rough idea, right? So because they sell coke cherry or something, right? Yes. And they sell the cheap smaller can. Yes. So the reason why they can't put the price up for something like croke cherry is because they're already charging you $3 for a small can of coke, right? So, and that's because they've got to pay the shipping fees and get it brought over from America or wherever. If they were to put the price up even more, nobody would buy it. Yeah. Because someone like me would walk past and go, "Oh, I kind of like that, forever." But five bucks or $4 for a small can when I can get like, when I can buy a three full bottles of coke for that, for like the same price, I'll be going, "No, I'll take quantity over like a different flavor anytime." Because it's not even a quality issue. It's the same brand. Yeah. If you want to buy coke for cheap, just buy the Indian version. It was the Indian version. I think it's called, I think it's called, I can't remember what it's called. It's called Lucky, Lucky or Top 5 something. I can't remember telling me about this. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Top of this or something. Top. It was, yeah, just buy that. That's, taste is good. And it's cheaper, probably. All right. No, it's about, buy LAOS. Those, yeah, I haven't had, it's crazy. I haven't had much soft drink lately. The one thing I miss about, well, they've seen that. Instead of coals, because I always go to coals. You know, I maybe go to Woolworths once every couple of months. Yes. Is, they don't sell, they don't sell LAOS at coals. They only sell it at Woolworths. And I haven't seen a good old swept screaming soda in a while too. Brown creaming soda, that is. Oh, really? They should be there. Well, they might have, they might have just refated, refated, changed the face, whatever, the brand, whatever. But anyway, I got off top of it a little bit. My main issue is, it seems like all these ads now taste. Like treat people like your idiots. Oh, yes, like idiots. Yes. But there's a lot of people that responded to that robe, you had to say, you got to turn on the dice, and you got to turn on the dice, and the other half people were like, the dice it is turned on. Are you stupid? The, because like the, the thing that you brought up a while ago, in the previous episodes was the Tasman, the car. And like, in the ad, it was just a bunch of famous sport people that you didn't know. Oh, God. Yeah, I remember that. And like, kind of annoyed me. It's kind of like, well, what's the ad trying to sell us? Like, you're trying to name a car, and then you're announcing a car? I think the idea behind the ad was like, I don't know. We know, Kia knows you. We know you like these people for some reason. Yeah. You like, we know Australians like sports or something. It was all sports people, wasn't it? Yes, yes, it wasn't basically up. Well, yeah, that's a good, you know, it's a good idea. Paying people that have lots of money who have rich more money to appear in your ad. So I just had a quick look up looking at integrity in advertising. According to many people, having honesty and integrity in advertising means possessing a strong disposition for telling the truth, or at least avoiding lies and deception in producing advertisements. Well, deception is a big word there. I don't think there's anything like that. You know that reaction video I told you were made about KFC Australia versus KFC USA? I clicked on because it showed the different burgers, the Australian burgers, and it's kind of funny because the comparison was so accurate. Even the burgers themselves were slapped together like they were in a rush. Like every single burger looked like someone had put somewhere and put like the patty down, they'd put the burger, they'd put the meat, bit of cheese, man, they went with the bun. Like they literally, it squashed on, every single, and slightly falling to the left or right, and it will all leaking a bit of lettuce and mayo. Every single burger that the Australian person was showing off, that's what it looked like, so it was pretty accurate. And I was, when I was reacting to it, I said, you got to see what these things look like on the actual menu thing, and you have a look at the menu in the burgers like twice, three times as big and looks really good, and it's all presented nicely, being like the actual burgers just slapped together. So apparently there was a, like in Australia, there was the top five most complained about ads in 2023. Number one is an interesting one, it's a only fans model who had a billboard. Had a logo in QR code, linking the record to their account. It had about 350 complaints. Yeah, but imagine how many people scanned, was it, did you say it was a QR code or a link? Yes, big joke. Imagine how many people scanned that QR code while they were driving. Oh, she's hot. Man, I don't want to wait till I get home, I was just busted out. And it was set up perfectly, so like the guy's sitting there and he's in traffic, and he's like, oh, I'm so fucking, oh. This isn't, so Red Rooster is number two. Yeah, Red Rooster Ads. Yeah, so this ad showed a young male skateboarding stealing chicken from other skateboards at a skate park. Oh, I've seen that ad. Yeah, that was dumb. It received 214 complaints, with some concerns that the ad encouraged theft, use crime, any moral behavior. Of course, of course it, of course it. They talk about it. What are these Karens doing? The advertisers defended the ad ad, the stated it employed tongue-in-cheek humor, exaggerating for comedic effect. Yeah, it was just a goofy little thing, the guy sneaking some of the chicken. Like, it's so good you'll steal it. This was a bit of a work one. Mars, Wrigley, Australia, TV ad. This gum ad showed two men leaning over to kiss each other, attracted 126 complaints, with the majority expressed concern about the potential impact on a younger audience, attributing to perceived issues of consent, the portrayal of the same sex kiss, and overly sexual content. Hence, when I think of Chewie's, I think of... You're still a failure. Each other. Failure. Failure. You're still a failure. Failure. I can smell the failure. But the thing is, when I chew gum, I never get a get a kiss. Oh my god. No, I'm joking. Wait, did you say it was a Wrigley's ad? Yeah, Mars Wrigley. Yeah, so I'm assuming like the extra. Like, you know, I think it's the same company that make it extra. So Wrigley's is American brand gum, I'm pretty sure. Possibly. Okay, another pawn one, a promotional campaign for sex toys featuring an image of a hen holding a vibrator through 99 complaints. Okay. I don't think there's nothing much to say about that. It's just pretty obvious. Oh, and this one was well known to you and I. The Activision Blizzard billboard that featured the game Diablo 4. Oh yeah, I know about that. You told me about that, yes. Welcome to hell. Yes, yes, I remember that. Barks complained to the ad plot trade and violence and maybe offensive to religious audiences due to its dark imagery. So juicy fruits are Wrigley's apparently. Oh, extra, extra's Wrigley. Yes, that's what I try to try. Ah, okay. So it is. Yeah, they just changed in that. I'll change it around here. So yes, I had vertispins around. I've looked down for getting the message across. Because otherwise you too can vacuum up some spilled milk. It was just, it was so, it wasn't spilled milk. It was the one I saw had. The one I saw had some liquid. Not fruit tingles. So what is it? Fruit looters. Yeah, it was just, I'm sitting there guard. You can, I'm sitting there guard. These, what the, like, I'm impressed that the ropey was able to suck in the, I was actually impressed that I was able to suck in the fruit relips without the person having to lift it up. But the dice and they were kind of like, Oh yeah, we'll just push them along. We weren't actually trying vacuum by lifting slightly. Ah, it's the brushless vacuum cleaners. That's what they're called. Yeah, brushless. That's it. Yeah, well, they were brushless. The only thing rope is good for is buying prune clippers for women who can't use, like, who need a battery powered pruners. We both know someone who has them. I know, that's why I said that. Hey, they're the best though. If I one day get arthritis, I'm not straight to them. Oh, I'll start using my legs or my feet or something. In the meantime, I'm using my conjure cutters. You're what? Yes, conjure cutters. Conjure cutters. Yes, they cut conjure, which are usually tubular cutters. Oh, conjure it. Cutters. Is that what you mean? I guess, but it's always pronounced conjure. It's conjure it. Conjure it. Conjure it. Troy, who's the electrician here? It's a conjure it. Conjure it. It's not conjure it. I wonder if this is a Victorian vs. Australian thing, because... No, I don't think so. I think it's a speaking English thing. And D-U-I-T for speaking English thing. It's about Annunciation. Oh, it's French. This is not going to say in French. Yeah, that's what that is. Conjure it, you don't see French. Conjure means lead, which is hilarious. It's literally spelled, I had to look it out, because I'm sitting there going conjure it. Conjure it. It's got an IT. Can't do it. Google, you're wrong. Here you go, I got one for you. Can you hear, how do I, how do I, I can't do this. Ah, maybe I can record. No, it's fine. Don't bother Google lies to me. It's got a British pronunciation and an American pronunciation. Can't do it. Is American. Conjure it. Conjure it is a British pronunciation. Conjure it and conjure it. You're calling it a conjure. You've literally like- Yeah, I'm just saying it too fast. I know we're Australian and we're abbreviate, but- We see, correct. Oh, yeah, you just share our plug in the conduit. Conjure it. The thing is like, I was talking to an electrician today and he was talking about, oh, I've got my conjure. He actually said that to me as well. He probably, it's probably, it's probably our accent. It's probably an accent thing. I don't think it's Victorian business rather thing. It's just, I've always gone, I've always annunciated the word conjure it. And don't see it. Yes. Is it proper like Queen's English? Actually, in this case, the King's English. Also, I don't use it in the electrician sense. I use it in a connection sense. No, that makes sense. That's probably what I do. Like, how do you say ark? Ark. Okay, good. What would you think I was gonna say? Ark, ark, ark, ark. Oh, you know. Oh, look, it's creating an ark. Look, I'll ask my cigar friends or my crow friends to see what they say. What are you cooking? Oh, look, ark, ark. Corfish? Corfish, how do you say it? Corfish, no. Yeah, this is like, ah, this is, you want to know what this is the equivalent of. It's the quip of cool whip. Cool whip. Cool whip. What are you saying like that? What do you mean? Say cool. Cool. Let's say whip. Whip. Let's say cool whip. Cool whip. Yes. Brian. Anyway, oh, the other electrician you were talking to. Was he fat and ugly? No, he was also half German. He was half German as well. He was half German. Yes, working at the end. There you go. Oh, there you go. He's pronouncing English wrong. Not efficient. To be fair, those guys don't call, what do they call, um, Volkswagen? Volkswagen? No, they call it like, something different. Vus automobile is something. That's auto? I don't know. I, I, I saw it. I saw it. Volkswagen is called Volkswagen. In, it's like Volkswagen. That's wagon or something. That's wagon. They say it like that. That's a Volkswagen. Vagan. Vat, Vat, Vat, Vagan. That's Vagan. I'm telling you. It's better than an answer. Volkswagen. Unless the Germans come on, this channel for some reason, it's Volkswagen. That's Vagan. Yeah, like Krunken Vagan, which means ambulance. Well, anyway, it was basically, a TikTok, it was basically another TikTok video where the guy pulls up and says to the phone, "You want to take a nice ride in my Volkswagen?" And she goes, "Oh, it's pronounced Vassaby and," or something like that. You idiot. Like, she said a completely different word. Yeah. Was this guy British? What was it, a British guy? No, it was an American guy. How Germans? It's Volkswagen. Or Volkswagen. The WWE's become V's. That's why you never mentioned the Vore. Volkswagen. Volkswagen. Folks Wagon is how it says it. That's Volkswagen. That's Volkswagen. Volkswagen. This is my wagon. Yeah, they say it was an F. Volkswagen. Yes. Why? No, it's just the way they say the V's can sound like an F. No, it's literally pronounced Vats Wagon. I'm sorry, it's just 'cause... We don't. I was the accent. It doesn't sound right, I'm not. Dastys, Volkswagen. Stop saying Volkswagen! That's what it says. That's pronounced. Vats Wagon. How many more times can you say... It's Volkswagen. It's Volkswagen. Not Wats Wagon. Who's a wagon? It's not Vats. It's not kind of sound. Can't even say it like that's anymore. Get your bag, if you want me. It's not Vats. It's not... It can't pronounce it no way now. Ladies and gentlemen, we got him. Oh my goodness. Save Vork. I need to look at... 'Zwagen'. Correct, yeah, Volkswagen. Yes, I guess that'll... Well, use that in edit. That's the only... No, it's not... Jackson, you're not listening. It's not pronounced Vats Wagon. I'm not saying... It's Vats Wagon. Who's Vagon? Why are you struggling with this? They say it's Vats Wagon. Who, hell, what, where, why? Who's Vogan? Vats Wagon? Very Vogan. Anyway, she says to the guy, it's not pronounced Wats Wagon. It's Vats Wagon. She says... He drops and then drives off. She says a Dumkopf. That'll be more fitting. You're American, Dumkopf. It was something about the company name or something. Yes, well, Volkswagen was the brand of stuff. The company that made all the war vehicles. All the vehicle cars. Maybe they did not survive the way you pronounce it. No, but the company is called... Hold on, I know it's called Vats Wagon. How do you say it? How do you say it again? I'm trying to think. Where is it? I'm looking at Wikipedia here. What about Chinese company I believe as well? Were they bought by Chinese? Who was Vats Wagon? They're more opal, yeah. Is that why they're leaving Germany? Because China bought one of them. How did a Chinese company buy Vats Wagon? Because this manufacturing costs a cheaper surprise surprise. No, that doesn't mean they... Oh, no, I'm thinking of MG, never mind. I was about to say a Chinese company wouldn't buy Vats Wagon now. Maybe in another 10, 15 years, we'll give it time, we'll find out. Yes. Where is it? German automobile factory. Welcome to the establish. By the German labor force. Oh, dear. Yes, safety. Yeah, it's got very strong nuts. Well, not too good. No, it literally was established by the German labor front under the Nazi party. Yes. Yeah. So... Forzevol. It was revitalised into a global brand. It is today, after World War II, a British army of Vats, blah, blah, blah. It's like if the Australian government and the army created Holden. That's what it's equivalent to. But that would make that sense because we didn't invade anyone. I mean, it's more like... No, man, I'm not right now. What if we make it forwards into tanks? Okay, okay. What if it's like if America started a company and they brought out the new Cluke Clucks automobile? Yeah, no, that won't sail. They'll call it the Clucksmobile. Now you can now get the new... Only comes in white. 5'2" grand dragon mute. Wait, it only comes in white. It only comes in white. No other paint jumps. Should we delete that bit? No, no, it's fine, it's fine. Every other car comes in white anyway. Oh, gosh. Why are we selling cars for people these days? What the heck's going on? Come on. You two can actually... I actually am annoyed that we don't have... Like we used to have government-backed businesses. Yes, yes, indeed. And it annoys me that we don't have any government-backed businesses anymore, only because of the fact that... Commercialism. If you don't have commercialism. Well, what you can do is write is you can have... Capitalism, that's the one. You can have... For example, a government-backed bank could give loans to people specifically who the other banks don't really trust, but they know... But the government could take risks on people who wouldn't usually get a risk on it, for example. Or if you had a government-funded automobile, you could design cars a little bit cheaper, save a bit of money, and sell to people who can't afford to get a brand new car for $30,000. Instead, you'd get a nice cheaper one for $15,000. Yeah, sure, you have to buy a manual. Yeah, sure, it doesn't have heated seats. And the radio is just a standard radio without a screen. But at least you get a cheap car, you know? There's a bit of... At least you get a brand new good quality car that will last you a while. Like... It doesn't... Yeah. Like, you know how, because you're... Because of the better big bank. What about the better big car retailer? Well, I mean, it was not... I like to think that Commonwealth banks specifically, it's policies sort of hang loose from when they were government-funded. That's why they're a bit more, like, giving with people. They're a bit more, like... They're the more understanding bank. Yeah. To the... Although they, you know, don't, don't, don't borrow too much from them, because they're... Yeah, no, they're... They'll make you pay, they'll make you pay. They're very interested. They're very... They're very interested in your money. Depending if you ever... If they're variable or not, but yes. But at least they're willing to put out there for people who wouldn't... Other banks wouldn't really want to touch. Yeah, they're quite common with their wealth. But it's even in the name. There you go. Sorry, yeah, no, that's... Hence why I went down that route. But another example is, because they got rid of... What did they call the government-funded housing projects? Oh, okay. What was it called? It was called... What were they called government... Not government-funded housing, but... How's the commission? Oh, yeah, public housing. Public, that's it, public housing. They got rid of public housing, and now look what's happened. All the big... The only people building houses are all the big, like, construction... Construction industry. And they're all... They're all doing whatever they want with their prices themselves. There's no competitive... If you set up... If you set up a small construction company that would... Like, could do better. They would give you a slightly cheaper house. You know, you just don't get all the extra features. You know, you might have to use tiles that are 20 years old, or something like that, or they might, you know, like... A designer house, like, more like mine. 20 years old. But you get it for $30,000 cheaper, even. Even that much would make a difference. Or they offer houses that are smaller for single people. If someone wants to get into the market and just have, like, a small studio area where they could... Like, it just doesn't... There's so many ways that you could fix all these different issues that we got. They don't seem to want to do it. Nobody seems to want to put in the effort. Well, you can make that change by voting... For me. Have you done this vote for me? Vote for me. Because he will kill all the things and make all the roads and things. Now you've got some work to do. You've got to beat that out. Well... That's what I really said. But yes, vote for me, because I'm super smart and know so much. And I can do all this stuff. Now that's what I've tested. I know people. I know people that can handle this. I know the people. People. I'm not the smartest man out there as people have told me. But I am in vid... I am in vid... Invitative. I can't pronounce the word. No, innovative. Innovative. Innovative. Innovative. Innovative. I don't want to say I'm innovative. Yes, with a touch of innovative. There's an innovation. And is it an innovative person or an innovative idea? Probably the first one. Anyway, the important people is I might not be the smartest person out there. But I know people that are smart, that can do the job for me. I know the right people that will do it correctly. You still playing the Trump card game? Well, for me and not... Well, no, no. I think it isn't over there. I don't know. I am phenomenal to women. I like to help the women. Trust me, women love me. I'm amazing. True story. I have many black friends. Many black friends. I'm going to count them on one hand. One. You know what I find funny? Like, we've gotten to a point, not us specifically, fortunately, in Australia, but in America again. They've gone to a point where the people have gone into a full 360 degree when it comes to things like racism, for example. Have you seen the video of those college students? So, these people are so, like, unracist, they flip back around to being racist. They'll say things like... They get asked a question like, "How would you help small black communities?" And the person would say, "Well, we'd have to get someone in to teach them how to use phones." Go teach them how to use the phones. Let's help them figure out where the bank is. And then the guy goes and interviews just a random black person on the street. And he goes, "Do you have a phone, sir?" And the guy's like, "Yeah?" And he goes, "Do you know how to use it?" And he's like, "Yeah, everybody knows." "Do you know where the bank is?" "Yeah, it's over there." "What are you trying to do? What are you saying?" And he's like, "Oh, no, it's all right. Some people don't think..." "What was the..." "Oh, yeah, so, these are supposed to be people in, like, colleges. They're supposed to be educated people." And what, they don't have any common sense. Oh, wow. Depends who funds the college or unives. I suppose. But what are they being taught? Are they being taught, like, that black people in their country don't know how to use technology or anything like that? Or don't know how to do this? Or don't know how to do that? Like... Yeah, well, let's try to take a video. Let's not talk about the education system in U.S. because that place is... Well, I suppose when you have metal detectors in schools... I cannot imagine that. Could you imagine walking up to school and having to put a backpack through a metal detector? Troy, can I tell you about a magnificent word that I discovered at this German school? Yes, please. Fucked and perfectly describes the U.S. education system. It's fucked. Well, I can't believe... So, I was watching an Asmogol video, and this time it wasn't him reacting to someone. It was him testing out the Lunchables versus the Lunchleys. Jeez, noise. I only got like through a little bit of it. And it's kind of funny because in the video he opens up the prime and he's like, "This is the first time I will ever drink a prime." First time. And he takes a sip. It's like banana and raspberry flavored or something. And he takes a sip and he goes, "That's very sweet. That's really sweet." Or, "That's really sugary." And it's got zero power, it's got zero sugar in it. But that's how sweet it is. But he goes, "That took me back to my childhood. It reminded me of a..." And he goes, "You know a slurpee?" But it's like a slurpee that's melted because it's liquid. And then he tried the... I think it was, I forgot what it was. It was some sort of drink in a little massive. I'll tell you what, you know the... You know the... It's not goon containers, but they got these little plastic liquid containers that are kind of like goon sacks. They're kind of like that. They're like, "What a straw in it. It's a straw in it. It's like a bag. It's a plastic bag. And it's sealed with liquid in it." Goon bag, I guess. Yeah. And he drank that and he goes, "I forgot what it was called. It wasn't. It was called something." And he goes, "Oh, yeah, I prefer this." And he goes, "But I'm biased because this is..." And he goes, "I grew up in the 90s. This was what we drank." And then he goes to test out the biscuits. And at that point I'd stop watching. But I'm looking at these little containers that have got biscuits and cheese in them. They're in plastic and I'm just thinking to myself, "Can't people buy bread and butter bread and have a sandwich?" Just have a sandwich. Just have a sandwich. Make a sandwich. Why do you need to buy these pre-made lunches? I mean, it's money now. It's corporations, it's money, it's businesses, it's money. I suppose. I wouldn't buy a... Because it's supposed to have biscuits, a drink, and an apple or something in it. Or some sort of fruit or some sort of thing. Yeah, real fruit. I just want... I just want to understand why... Can these parents not make a sandwich? Can they not make a sandwich? And they'd give them a bottle of water or a bottle of something. Like a drink of some sort and an apple? Or any choice I have. I just want to have lunchables that have real fruit. I just want to have fruit that... Look, I just want... I just want food that tastes like real food. I just want food where you... I want food where I know that the cheese product is real cheese. Apparently if it doesn't say cheese and it says cheese product, it's not all the cheese. Apparently not. All right, well that'll wrap us up for today. Yeah, I think I've done that. To extend a little bit of a rant there. That's fine, I perfectly appreciate it. So yeah. Stakey real choice watching this and if you make this far, make sure you check out all the podcast links and all YouTube channels. And yeah, we'll see you next time. We'll see you in the next one. Oh, I like that. I'm glad I copied that from somewhere. From where? I don't know, every single person on YouTube. Oh yeah, no, it's... Welcome to the word of content and the phrases. Yes, all right, I'm done, I'm done. You gonna play the outro or are you just gonna stop? There's an outro. We had an outro. Duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh. Blah, blah, blah, blah. I... Yes, that'll get us content, all right. Do you mean this one? Well, I'm out, guys. This one's cool now, I think I'm done. I no longer have any connection to this world. As that, that was more talk about it. But anyway, that's okay. Whatever, all right, bye. Just shreds, you see. [BLANK_AUDIO]
