Reality With a Twist
Season 4 Episode 2 - How States Got Their Names
- Bro is joyous, bro is Jovial, what are you doing? - Okay, I was doing that earlier and Gunnar goes, "Okay, is this an odd?" - Well, because when you just suddenly, you're silent for a minute, you go, "It's like, I don't know what else to say!" - Bro was having the time, I'll say the same thing, bro was having the time of his life, and bro, everyone was just like, "What?" - Because it's odd. - All right, okay. - We lost the nods. - Why did both of you bring this up tonight because I have done this, at least on three discord calls with all of us just going, "For us rolling this fucking eyes over somebody hitting a bullet around--" - Were we actively playing Roblox when he, 'cause I have zero, I have negative memory of this. - It has always been right after I got on, like I got on-- - I got-- - Then, one of the odds you go, "Wait, what do you need to start recording?" - I am recording, I am recording. - I've been recording on auditions as well. - I've been recording on auditions, and then I recorded once, and then I cut it, and then I'm recording again, so we're fine. - Audition? - Yeah, Adobe Audition. I'm wanting to get used to the Adobe Suite, 'cause I'm gonna be minoring in digital media, which is essentially just a crash course in the entire Adobe Suite. And actually, let me take this all one Adobe product at a time. - Adobe has had a history of-- - Oh, oh. - Oh my God! - Oh, oh! - They're casting! - They're casting! - What do you mean? - What do you mean? - No, no, no, no! - I'm having my pants. - Oh, shit! - Are we recording right now? - Yeah. All right, welcome back to reality with a twist. Wait, do I need to repeat that? - I'll do it, eh. - I'll do it over time. - I'll do it over time. - Oh my God. - Don't go, go, hurry, hurry. - The best season yet. - We save the retention. - Oh my gosh. - Welcome back to reality with a twist. I'm Gunnar. I'm Dylan. - Ben, say your damn name! - Why are you skipped over Gabe? - No! - He's lost! - He's lost! - I'm Ben. - I'm Gabriel. - Our fourth season. And we don't have this down. - This is the one thing that has stayed consistent through every single season of reality with the twist. You're like, you skipped Gabe! - It's not the reaction. It's what got me, you went... - Oh my God. - I gave that. Jesus, Louise us. That's what I have to say. - Phew. I thought you almost used Lord's name today. - Gravy! - I thought you almost used this because of Gravy's name in vain. - Oh man. All right, so as you guys may be aware or not aware of, we have 50 states in the United States. - Since when? - Since like 1951, I'm pretty sure. - Oh, was Alaska the last time I checked it was 40? - I know, it was Hawaii. It might have been Hawaii. It was either Alaska or Hawaii. - It was one of those two. - Yeah. - I mean, I think they both came around the same time. But anyways, it doesn't matter. Every state has a name and every state's name has an origin except one. We're not really quite sure, but we'll get to that. Anyways... - I have an idea of what that state is. I'm going to keep it up here though. I'm going to keep it up here. - Yeah. Okay. Anyways, so today we're going to be breaking down the name of each state and what they mean. We're going to see a lot of consistency in these, but occasionally I'll make a few stops along the way and I'll be asking some questions and we will be doing a quiz. Now there's no prize for this. It's just peer trivia for fun and there's no winner or anything like that. But I will be quizzing you guys along the way because some of these are pretty interesting. So of course, we're going to go alphabetically and our first stop is, well, you guessed it. - Indiana! - Yes. - Correct. - It's Alabama. So Alabama is, you know, the southern state of Alabama. Also... - I'm sorry, you said Alabama is the southern state of Alabama. - Alabama is the southern state of Alabama. - Alabama. - Alabama. - Okay. So according to thethorris.com, it was the "Angelsize" form of the name of a native tribe of the Muskehi Creek Confederacy living in the area. And when Spanish explorer Enando de Soto arrived in the region, it combined a couple of Choctaw words, including alba and amo, meaning plant, gatherer, and officially garnering its name as Alabama. - That's cute. - Anyways. - Yeah, yeah, yeah. So Alabama was also, it was originally given a name given to the Alabama River, and then it became adopted as a state name, which actually brings us into our first question. Which state is not named after a river? Is it Nevada? - No, sorry, yeah, Nevada, Ohio, Missouri, or Colorado. - Beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep. - Yes. - Nevada. - Okay. - I'm going to say Nevada. - Okay. - Nevada is incorrect. It's actually Colorado. - The Colorado River goes into Arizona. - Yes, while the Colorado River exists, the region was first named Colorado as what was described to be of the river that ran through it. But the name was not given to the river. Eventually, when the state became Colorado, when the territory became Colorado, the river that dominated a majority of the state was then named the Colorado River. Anyway, but yeah, it happens, so fun facts. But the rest of them, Nevada, Ohio, Missouri, were all rivers before they became named states. So, anyways, our next one is Alaska. So Alaska comes from the language of the elute, or excuse me if I butcher this, Anangan people. And so, which brings us into our next question, Alaska ultimately comes from the elute meaning the, is it the promised land, the forgotten land, the main land, or land by the sea. Which one is the correct answer? What was option B again? The forgotten land. - Bro forgot. I'm going to say B. - You're going to say the forgotten land. - I'm going to say forgotten land. - Okay. - Yes. - Gabe, Ben. - What was C? - I'm going to say C was the mainland. - I'm going to say D by the sea. D by the sea. Okay, you're going to say by the land by the sea. - Yes, D by the sea. - Yes. Okay, so Ben says land by the sea. Dylan says the forgotten land. Gabe, what's your answer? - What was I again? - The promised land. - Bro forgot. Okay, that joke only works with, never mind. - Let's give him a forward brother. - I'm just, I'm just going to, I don't think it'd be the mainland. Well, no, because it is like an archipelago, it has an archipelago. I'll, I'll, I'll say the mainland just to be different. I'm not confident in it though. - Well, Gabe, you should be because that's the correct answer. - Oh. - Oh, stop him. Stop him. Stop him. - Help him. - Help him. - Help. - Okay. All right, next is Arizona. It's a little bit disputed, but we can deduce it down to a couple of ideas. So from some claim, it's from the Tohono Odom, Pima language, first place of the small spring. Others believe it's from the Basque language as a, when it was settled by ranchers of Basque origins in the early 1700s. And they believe it comes from the Basque word meaning errets, which means oak and ona meaning good, or a place with good oaks. So yeah, there's that one. Next stop. - Go ahead. - Sorry, I thought there was a quiz. - No, they're not. I'll let you know when there's a quiz. How about you pay attention next time? Goofball. - Oh. - Paying attention. Starting now. So Arkansas begins with the Alonco and people who refer to the Sioux tribe, the Quopa, or the Ugakspa, which are in the area, as Lea Kanza. And then so the French people in the area picked up the term and gave it a little French twist and eventually became Arkansas. California is, well, it has quite interesting origins. So does California come from the origin of, is it a local native naming, the Spanish explorer's name, a novel, or in just an absolute extreme botch at the pronunciation of the local Puebloans? - I know this one, so I'm going to go last. - I'm going to say D, because it sounds very funny if that would be the case. - Yeah. - What was the third one? - A novel. - What was the second one? - The Spanish explorer's name. - I'm going to say B. - Okay. - Gabe? - I'm going to say C. - Yes. - Gabe would be correct. - Can I say C? - Oh. - Gabe would be correct. - Oh. - It's a novel. So it comes from the 1510 epic Las Certigas de Esplandien by Garcia Rodriguez de Montalvo. And basically in the story, there's a paradise island named California. All right. Colorado. We've already kind of discussed. So it literally means red color and then describe the -- to not only describe the river, but mostly describe the red rocks in the area. And then when it became a territory, name was given to the region and eventually the river. All right. Connecticut is from the Mohegan or the Alachen word. Well, Connecticut. And so it means besides the long tidal river and eventually what is now known as Connecticut River. And so the spelling that was by the native tribes was quite different. Well, they didn't have the English alphabet, but the -- how it would have been spelled is quite different to what it is today because it was angel-sized around 1630. Delaware, named for the expedition investor and governor of Virginia, Florida, named basically named by Juan Ponce de Leon, when he landed in the peninsula, he was referencing the celebration of Pascua, Florida, or the Easter feast, which happened to be around the day of this landing. All right. So Georgia, well, Georgia comes from is named after somebody. Now, who is that specific somebody? Is it King George? King George II. King George III. Or Sir George Winchester. I'm going to say -- I'll say King George II. Okay. I'm going to say King George III. Oh, screw you. That's what I was going to say. I'm going to say it to George. It's King George II. So the name was established before King George III was in rain, and then I think King George dated way, way, way long before, you know, I want to say he was, like, earlier closer to the -- to the millennium, like, 1,000. Or like the 1970s? Probably. Yeah. Yeah. Probably around then. And then Sir George Winchester was just some goofy odd name I made up. I mean, it only benefits well. All right. So Hawaii is -- it just comes from the Polynesian term, really, like, small or new homeland. Or it could have came from the legend of the chief, Hawaii Loa, an explorer who returned to Polynesia describing the place as paradise. Idaho comes from when lobbyists, George Willing proposed Idaho as a name in 1860 as a name for a part of what would become Colorado. He invented the name inspired by a girl named Ida, which has raised us some concerns why he put "ho" on there. Anyways, the people believe it might be related to the Shoshone expression, meaning Jim in the mountains. We don't really know. But basically, the people liked the name Idaho, and we're like, let's call it that. Didn't -- it doesn't it roughly translate and -- like, by complete coincidence, it roughly translates to, like, land of fish or land of many fish or something like that. In some native language? Yeah, it could be. I don't -- it doesn't say anything about that on here, but I wouldn't be surprised. Yeah. Anyways, so -- I don't know. But it brings us to Illinois, and it's a French origin, but it's borrowed from a couple and indigenous American languages. So Confederacy tribes in the Mississippi River called themselves the Anoka. The Ojibwa tribes, later -- close to the Great Lakes, adopted the Anoka word "irinua" and then means "he who speaks in a regular way," as their name for the Anoka. Anyways, French explorers came in, heard it, and then they just transformed the name into Illinois. So became the name of the river and the territory where the Anoka lived. Indiana leans -- literally translates to Latin, "Indian," "county." That's it. I mean, straightforward. It's probably the most straightforward out of all of these. Yes. I will come from -- Oh, sorry, sorry. As you can see, before we moved on, the reason I was making that weird face earlier, I think only Ben saw it is because I was like, "Guys, I feel so embarrassed I'm wearing a white shirt," and that's it. And I looked up at Ben, and I'm like, "Oh, okay, okay, we're both wearing a white shirt, and then I'll cover a gunner, and he's wearing one, too! We're all just wearing plain white teeth." I'm evil. I'm evil. He's the negative version of us. He's wearing the Don't Drive naked teeth. And we're naked, essentially. We got plain white teeth on. Don't drive. Seriously. I just did. Hey, gunner, can I ask you a quick Indiana question? Sure. Well, not really a question, but kind of just to capitalize more on what Gabe said as well. I believe Indianapolis basically just translates to Indian City, right? I thought it was City of Indiana. I thought that was -- Yeah, so it roots from Indiana and polis. Polis literally meeting City in Greek. Right. But then Indiana comes from Indian County. See what I'm saying? I thought Indiana just meant Land of the Indians. Yeah, it literally just means Land of the Indians. Yeah. And then if Indianapolis means City of Indiana -- City of the Land of the Indians. Yes. But that's what I'm trying to say. But aren't they from two different -- is it Anna different from polis? Like, aren't those two different, like, roots? Yeah, you're mixing Latin in Greek, Ben. It just doesn't work. As he always does, he always mixes Latin in Greek. You guys are forgetting the Roman. You guys are forgetting the Roman. Latin! That's Latin! He does it again. He does it again. All right. It's a cool Ben moment. All right. We're going to speed run a few. Iowa. Literally a native word by the Buxo J people, meaning "beautiful land." Kansas. Same root as Arkansas. I want to refer to the Sioux tribe as a Kansas. Or it's a plural claim. Arkansas. Kansas referred to just got interpreted that way for that region. Kentucky. A little bit disputed. People believe it's from the Wyandot for Land of Tomorrow. Maybe Shawnee at the head of the river, Iroquois, or among the meadow. And another for a Native American story about expressing a meeting of dark and bloody ground. Anyways. But that one's almost certainly untrue. Louisiana? Well, King Louis the 14th of France. They had a lot of King Louis. Anyways. Certainly. Yeah. So, La Salle named the territory as he discovered and the Sun King's honor in 1682. The French name, La Louisiana, was later adopted into English as Louisiana. Maine, again, is disputed. The territory was spelled M-A-Y-N-E. Orton, almost as uncertain, may have been a little British town as a variation of Maine as in broad Maine. Another believer refers to the mainland to distinguish it from the islands off the coast. Maryland. Well, it's named an honor of not Mary, mother of God, but Queen Henrietta, Maria, wife of King Charles the 1st of Great Britain. Massachusetts is from a tribe where that one's occupied the area, Massachusetts, and then just got translated. The word and La Cien literally translates to "at the Great Hill," which was now believed to be the Great Blue Hill. So there's that. Michigan, the Ojibwe, or the Chippewa, Michigama, meaning "large body of water or large lake." It's fitting because, like Michigan, Minnesota, most people believe it comes from the Dakota name for the Minnesota River, but what the expression translate means "water, sky-tented, or cloudy." There's kind of a little dispute again about that. Anyways, Mississippi, the French transcription for the word miszizibi, meaning "big river." Again, the French did it once again. They called it Mississippi. Angela says the name. Missouri, another state that is named for the American tribe of the Missouri. The name Missouri is an exercise for the Alakwizan emizoret, emizoret, meaning people with canoes made from logs as this highlights. Montana. Now Montana, you can probably guess what it means, but is it of Sioux, origin, French, origin, Cherokee origin, or Spanish origin? Okay, so when I think Montana, I think Land of Mountains, Mont, but that kind of prefix is I don't think any native languages would use that prefix because there's no reason that they would. So I'm going to say Spanish because it's at least related to a lot of the other Eastern Old World languages. Sure. I'm going to say the same thing, honestly. Yep, okay. I will also say the same thing. All right, you guys are all on the same page, literally comes from the Spanish, Montana, which means "mountain." So it's referring to the Rocky Mountains that run through it, and believe it or not, when the Spanish colonized in the Americas, they did reach all the way up to Montana. So yeah, it is crazy. So that's the last of our trivia, actually. Nebraska comes from a major river in the territory, named by the Native Americans, Nevada. They named the mountains this year at Nevada's because that's the, which means snow-covered mountains or the snow-covered mountains, because there were snow-covered mountains. And they just, the region just simplified it and called it Nevada. New Hampshire, Old Hampshire, New Jersey, Old Jersey, New Mexico, well, as you're usually called Nuevo Mexico, Mexico, when the Spanish Conquis stores were there. And it was actually a big part of the Aztec people, but the name Nuevo Mexico actually predates the country of Mexico, which was founded in 1821. So the name Nuevo is actually the more disputed part, but maybe it comes from the Nahuatl language spoken by the Aztecs, New York, Old York, North Carolina, referred to the lady named Carol, but rather to King Charles of the United Kingdom, who made the original grand, doesn't refer to the name Carol, but rather King Charles. And so, yep, so the Latin for Charles, Carolus, and therefore, same thing with South Carolina. North Dakota is going to be the same story with South Dakota, comes from the Dakota tribe, which literally means friendly people, or allies, by the Sioux. Oh, that's nice. Yeah, it is nice. It's good for them. Ohio? Well, it probably comes from the Angeles-ized version of what the Iroquoid word for meaning Great River, which was Ohio. So yep, Oklahoma is the combination of two Choctal words, "Okla" and "Huma", which means "people". Yup. Wait, both words means "people", and "Huma", we don't really know, but it probably comes from... There's people here, there's people here. What do we call it? What do we call it? There's people. Oh my God, there's people. "Huma" comes to maybe red, and so calling the area of the people, red people... It's not good knowing its history is where a lot of natives trail of tears. It's not good that it was like, "Oh, red people live here, oh, that's not good." Yeah, but the name was of native origin, it was just the strange thing. Did natives say, let's call it, "Okla Homa", or did Americans, or like, I guess Americans at that point, be like, "Huh, let's use their words against them." Right, I don't know. I don't know. Next is Oregon. Now, I mentioned earlier about one, having unknown origin, well, this one's it. We have no idea, maybe Oregon Trail, but then that raises a question, where did they get the name for Oregon Trail, so yeah, Pennsylvania, named after William Penn, road island probably comes from the Dutch, road like island. So, just what is today the aqua neck island by Dutch explorers, it means red island in Dutch. So, they think it's a reference to the red clay on the shore, but yeah, South Carolina, we already talked about South Dakota, we already talked about Tennessee, Cherokee word, teneschi, guy, anthal-sized, once again, Texas comes from Kato Taisha, a term used by the Kato people, meaning, friend or ally, adopted by as Tejas by the Spanish and became Texas in English. Utah, a lot of misunderstandings, I mean, like, remember what I mentioned about botched translations and misunderstandings, this would be Utah. So, Apache used the word Yutahi, to mean one that is higher up, and this was transcribed by the English, by the Spanish, as Yuta, and was given as the name to the area inhabited by the Yutai tribe. So, it's just a really just a combination, probably just everything got lost in translation when everything was getting named, and then by the native nameings, and eventually just landed on the word Yuta. Vermont, comes from the French Wehrmacht, in a green mountain. Virginia, Commonwealth of Virginia, is named in honor of Queen Elizabeth, nicknamed the Virgin Queen. They really called her out on that one. Yeah, they got around us. That's cool. Washington state, George Washington. West Virginia, well, same thing as the Virgin Queen. Wisconsin, a native language word of, there's a little uncertain, but many believe it's a monomony. West Kasha, meaning a good place to stay. Maybe it comes from the Al-Aulawakwyn Miskazim, meaning river, running through a red place, a reference to the red cliffs in the state. Wyoming, it was used to refer to a valley in Pennsylvania, and then the state representative James Ashley, born in the Wyoming Valley, just ended up naming. It's from the, you know, when he just came across it, and what the land of Wyoming probably just comes from some Native American word, but it was kind of named, so there's that. Anyways, that wraps up all 50 states, really, we went through that, so, yeah. What was your guys' favorite state? I like Indiana. I like Indiana. I like Indiana. I like Indiana. I like my thing with it, I was going to mention, was actually Missouri. I thought it was kind of just insulting, not insulting, but like it just added to the boringness of Missouri for their state to be named after people with canoes. They got nothing else to do. We make them out of logs, it's really fun. I liked Wisconsin because the idea of it being named after a good place to stay is the most Wisconsin-like Midwestern thing possible. All these other states got some behind them. What do we got? I like saying here, it is one of the good places to stay, I can't even do a Wisconsin-eyed accent, but that was my best opinion. I know, I'd have to agree with Wisconsin as well, it's just, all these have like deep, rooted histories of like our baseball for somebody, it was just like, well, I like living here. I like it. It's fun. It's fun. It's fun. Oh my gosh. So that wraps it up, so we're going to move on to our next segment, did anybody like to volunteer to go first? Are we fine? Fine. Okay, Ben. So my segment is going to be our legal fact of the day, I was going to, what does anybody want to go? You still broke it. Broke came in the press, he was like, are legal fact of the day he's going to be talking about the court term suspended. So if you've ever heard of like a suspended sentence, for example, somebody gets a certain number of years in prison with a certain number suspended, that basically just means that no longer exists. So that is removed from their sentence with a certain condition. And typically that condition is some kind of supervision. Most likely it's going to be probation. So say somebody is sentenced to five years in prison with three years suspended as long as they complete probation without any violations. So basically that just means all they have to do is complete whatever they're sentenced to for probation. And then they only get that number of years for prison and they don't have to do double that as they would have originally been sentenced if they didn't get probation. So that's something that's very common nowadays, a lot of people get a lot of time for their sentences suspended based on getting something such as probation or house arrest. So I just figured that would be something good to talk about because even myself working in this kind of field, a lot of the court terms just seem so confusing and don't make a lot of sense sometimes. So that was one of them that I think is a big one that I think people should know. If I forget, okay, for the sound effects, I have to use the the OBS audio instead of our recorded audio. So if I forget, there's just gonna be weird gaps and then just like a gap and then hahaha with no with no it's happened before with all when we were first doing stuff with the editor at that editor at that into you stupid editor at those two sound effects and making my life harder. Okay. Let's do some weird news. Let's hear some weird. This is actually a little bit of an extension from a really old weird news we had. Do you guys remember Wally the the emotional support alligator you guys remember him? Yeah, I do remember Wally. Yes. So, well, don't tell me. Okay. And Brunswick, Georgia, this is as always from the Associated Press, a Pennsylvania man, a Pennsylvania man who credits an alligator named Wally for helping relieve his depression for nearly a decade, says he is searching for the reptile after it went missing during a vacation to the coast of Georgia. So Joey Henny has thousands of social media users following his pages devoted to Wally. The cold blooded companion that he calls his emotional support alligator. He has posted photos and videos online of people petting the five and a half put five and a half foot alligator like a dog or hugging it like a teddy bear. Wally's popularity soared to new heights last year when the gator was denied entry to a Philadelphia Phillies game, which is we have talked about. Yeah, we talked about. So now, Henny, not Henny. Oh, I know. I know. I said the same thing. I didn't even want to read any further, but I let's press on. Now, Henny said he has distraught after Wally vanished while accompanying him on an April vacation in Brunswick, Georgia, a port city 70 miles south of Savannah said he suspects somebody stole Wally from the fenced outdoor enclosure where Wally spent the night on April 21st. In social media posts, Henny said pranksters left Wally outside the home of someone who called authorities, resulting in his alligator being trapped and released into the wild. We all need your quote. We all need help. Wait, sorry. That was not the quote. Oh my God. Uh, quote, we need all the help we can get to bring my baby back on quote. Henny said in a tearful video posted on TikTok, quote, please. We need your help. What do you fellas think? I mean, I think poor Wally, but I feel like it's a bad idea to like release a bunch of people and start looking among alligators. Yeah. There's like multiple parts of this that just seem like it would be written like a comedy show where it's like, one, you're releasing an alligator into the wild in Georgia. Yes. So it's in like the Everglade, you know, like the Everglade area, then, you know, to get our point, you're having people search for an alligator, meaning they're going to go into like alligator-infested waters and, you know, risk getting something bitten off or injured or whatever. And because yeah, sorry, sorry, continue, continue. No, I mean, that was really just where the thought is, like, it seemed like a very funny situation all around like from a comedic standpoint, not like reality, what it is. And the poor thing, obviously, Wally was pretty gentle to humans. That's why he was an emotional support alligator. So it's like, is he even going to survive in the wild? If Wally hasn't been found already, Wally, I mean, as soon as he mentioned, he was missing. It's like, I already assumed he was probably going to be dead because any animal that's been domesticated and thrown back into the wild, we all know what happens to them. Yeah. And on the off chance that he is still alive, he has forgotten all about his domestic life, Wally is just an alligator at this point. That sounds so depressing, but that's just, I think he's kind of gone and I feel really bad. Maybe he, if he was just with Latin to that Phillies game, Wally would still be here with us today, but maybe we can fill out Delphia, man, filled up a be tripping, maybe tripping. Anyway, you guys want to hear Roblox fact for today? I'd love to. Roblox fact. Yes. So obviously, you know, currently in my life, it's very hard for me to play new Roblox game. It's very hard for me to play some Roblox games. You know, if you guys were just forming out of the show, I can leave. It's not that hard. What are you talking about? Can you just, can you go with, go ahead and do it? Because I've been so busy with life, it's been hard for me to give Roblox game recommendations. So I'm changing the things around and giving you guys facts about Roblox. And in this case, we're gonna be talking about some things that happened on this day in history on Roblox. So quite a lot of things happened on this day of the time of recording this is May 14th. On this day, May 14th, a bunch of things happened. First, in 2007, Roblox are added. This replaced the preexisting currency system called Roblox points. Also on this day, decals are added to Roblox. This would allow players to upload images to the website as a decal and then insert that image into their place, however they'd like. So on this day, John Shodletsky, also known as Telamon officially announces that he has stopped working full time at Roblox. Oh, very big day for Roblox, very big day for Roblox, but that's not it. Also on this day, in 2021, Roblox announced that they were renaming the Discover page and games were now going to be called Experiences, dropping the more linear verbiage to a more broadened definition, and that really covers it, the big things that happened on this day in Roblox history. Hopefully, next week, you'll hear some more interesting things who, I don't know, this is a pretty top tier day to be, you know, big history. Yeah, Roblox, yeah, Roblox by itself is gargantuan. I mean, come on, Roblox is huge, like that's a huge thing to change. I still miss ticks. I really miss ticks. Yes. Well, I will give you, I'm actually going to tell you something. You guys remember the hunt, the thing I was talking to you guys about? Yeah. There has been some leaks recently about the next hunt event that's about to happen, and it's all about classic Roblox. Ooh. Well, they have Flying Simulator 3 on there because that was my favorite game as a kid. Probably not, but ticks have been uploaded in our association with this event, so ticks might make a little short comeback during this event. Oh, yeah. Editor at those, editor at those. No, no. Is a short editor at those? No, no. Editor at that. You stupid. Better. Go ahead. God damn it. As a short side note, I just wanted to add ticks were the first thing that I ever used. I saved up so much ticks just to buy the, I can't remember if it was the light or the dark ninja mask, but that was the dark ninja mask because that was the one that was available for Roblox for ticks at the time. Okay. The dark one. I believe it was the dark one. Yeah. I remember saving up Roblox for so long just to buy that dark ninja mask and that was the first Roblox currency purchase I ever made. That's all I wanted to say. Wow. Memories. Speaking of memories. Do you guys want to do some bad marketing? I love you. Bad marketing. So this, this bad marketing, I'm trying to explore a little bit with this segment just like Dylan is. I kind of want to do, it's actually coincidence because I was thinking about this at work today. I'm kind of thinking about trying to pivot more towards like current events like this week in bad marketing, so like maybe smaller stories, less historical things, but just more topical. And the first time I'm going to go with this was on a website called marketing dive.com. And I don't know if you guys know this, but the new iPad Pro 11 and 13 inch were just announced and I believe released and something crazy about the 13 inch is that is the thinnest iPad ever released, I think it's 5.1 or 5.4 millimeters. It is thinner than any iPod and I had an iPod fifth generation which seemed impossibly thin. This iPad Pro 13 inch is thinner than that even. And Apple thought it was a creative and good idea to make a ad, but this ad ended up kind of back firing on them. I'm going to go ahead and send you guys the ad link. I'm going to see if you guys can watch it real quick and tell me if you can see anything wrong with this ad. So I'm going to send it to penis channel. Okay. All right. Yeah, just tell me when you're ready to watch and I'll watch as well. I mean, I'm ready, ready, three, two, one. All right, so because of content match purposes, I can't really let this play with just the ad audio. So just imagine all I ever need is you by Sonny and Cher is playing. It's a really, really good song and what's happening for our audio listeners. What's happening on the video is that there's a bunch of instruments and artistic stuff and a bunch of just methods of creativity, including like a workstation and like a PC or a Mac or something and just a bunch of different ways to like make things and express yourself are all getting crushed under a hydraulic press. And it's things are things are kind of comical like there's an emoji that's eyes get popped out of his head and then he pops and it's it's supposed to be kind of seen as a comical thing, but I can't really let the audio play unfortunately. So the ad is almost opposite and then we're going to have some comments about it. So goodbye. Any anything jump out at you that might. So this might have been me tripping. Did they use a competitor's product in their imagery because I could have sworn that was a Pete like a Windows PC being crushed. I think you are right. But I that wasn't what people were upset about. If anything, that's kind of funny. I think that's kind of funny that they'd crush the PC, but I don't know just any any other guesses before I go into this. If you guys don't know, that's okay. I really I watched this ad earlier today, not not even knowing that it was a part of this controversy. I didn't see an issue with it, but you guys might see when when I described. I don't know. I mean, I liked the song. That's all I got. Yeah. The song was made by a serial killer. Yes. So essentially the problem that Apple faced with this is that so Tim Cook uploaded this to his Twitter just a few days ago. I think like a week ago now. And people were like, okay, you're crushing a bunch of creative products like you're crushing like a guitar and like a piano and like art and like computer like you're crushing all of these creative outlets that we have. And it looks really dystopian that you're saying that all of this physical stuff that we love and that we use, you crush it all in front of us and show us this thin iPad. And it's like seeing it from that perspective, I see what they're saying like it is kind of somebody called it basically the antithesis of the 1984 Macintosh ad, one of the most famous ads of all time where there was like a dystopian thing and then somebody came in with the hammer. Somebody called it the antithesis of that because it was kind of computers just taking over all of this beautiful physical art and art forms and creative products. So in response that it actually got really, really, really bad like backlash. I don't know if you guys saw the like to dislike ratio on YouTube, but it is mostly dislikes. If you look on Twitter under Tim Cook's post, everybody's saying what is this imagery is insane? Like, why would you choose to do that? And somebody just reversed the video and said, guys, it would look so much better if you just reversed it. It would be things expanding out of the iPad. So it's still give you the idea that it's in a thin product, but these things are coming out of it. They're not putting it on TV. They responded to the backlash. They're not going to put it on TV, but it's still available on all of their social media. So with that explanation, do you guys get it or do you guys think people are kind of overreacting? I mean, I get the overall message. I think it's very much a theme where it's like somebody in their marketing department was just like, oh, this is a creative way to show like how our device encapsulates everything and just broadened like the more free thinkers of the world were like, well, no, it really is a more deeper meaning that like none of these things matter because this tiny tablet can do everything and discredit that works that the actual physical objects can provide. And not only, I completely agree with that, but not only that is it's kind of a violent end to these things. It's crushing them. They're exploding. And you see that little emoji's eyes pop out of his head as he gets crushed. I think it's a really good idea on paper. I love it. It's super creative. I think, you know, it's the thinnest iPad yet and that's what that's one of the biggest things about it. There's a lot of big things about this iPad. It's the most advanced screen apples ever put in anything, essentially it's a double layered OLED. It has that new M4, it's the first product getting Apple's new silicon M4 chip. And the M4 chip actually is kind of leaning into AI more and Apple's leaning into AI more. So people also saw this as like, okay, AI is taking over all of this creative stuff. So I think on paper, it's a really creative ad. Hydraulic presses have been kind of in the zeitgeist for a while. People love those kinds of videos, but I just think the imagery wasn't great and they're not going to put it on TV. So unless you guys have anything else you want to say about crush, we can move on from bad marketing. Got nothing else to provide. Why do we have a car factor or anything? No, I don't know. I'm trying to mostly do marketing facts, but a lot of times my marketing facts are about or bad marketing are about cars. Oh, let's lead this into our what are the odds game hit it. So oh my gosh, I haven't described this in so long. One of the odds is a combination of a dare and a bet. There's an odds asker and an odd setter. The odds asker basically dares or sorry, not odd setter victim, man, I'm rusty. There's an odds asker and a victim. The odds asker asked the victim to do a dare and the victim gets the set their own likelihood of having to do the dare by setting a number. The higher the number, the less likely the victim is to have to do the dare. A third party then counts down from three, three, two, one, the odds asker and the victim say a number between one and the number that the victim set. At the same time, if they say the same number, the victim has to do the dare. If none of our individual odds to each other hit, we will do a descending odds, which essentially just means that one of us will have to do one of the dares. I don't know. Yes. Yes. Yes. And Dylan, so you mentioned how you can, you can design your own like outfits and Roblox, right? I mean, yeah, you can create your own stuff, you know, use a template and like create your own shirts and stuff. What are the odds that you upload a Ben shirt to Roblox? Ben, I could send him the Ben picture. I could I could create I could very easily create a Ben T shirt. I want to say too, but I also don't know like I would have to walk in the capacities to do this. I was going to say I'll probably I'll probably end up walking you through the steps anyway, so I will say three, three, two, one, three, no descending odds or just having a Ben T shirt, I'm gonna be selling a link in the link in the link in the podcast description. Who else wants to go? I'll go next. Ben. Yes. What are the odds that you have to record an Instagram story of yourself getting really high because you got enough Robux to buy your dream Roblox item. And when you buy it, you got to go like, yes, finally, yes, all the while you're just recording yourself doing this with your phone on my personal Instagram story. Yes. Yes. I already know my dream item would be well, like, yes, it would be one of our choice. I'd be cheap. You know, not like an actual expensive one with the Ben shirt. Oh, yeah, actually the Ben shirt, honestly. Okay, in that case, I'll say like, 10, three, two, one, seven, four, I thought you're about to go. He's thinking, bro. I've got one. All right. Oh. Oh, that's two of the reality with the twist podcast channel on Spotify. You have to post a new episode titled Gabe, and it just has to be one minute of you screaming. I'm in it. Oh. Oh, nobody's home, I guess. Bro. How about everybody leave? I'm going to do group screaming in one minute. Do it, do it in your car, just record it on your phone. Oh my God. You have to. Twenty five, three, two, one, three, seventeen. All right, all right, Dylan, yeah, what are the odds you call a bar and grill that's very close to where we're staying in Wisconsin, which is still open. It's literally in the same neighborhood that we're staying in. And you just call and say, guys, I don't drink alcohol. Do you guys, do you guys sell cannabis? You have to keep pronouncing cannabis wrong. You guys sell cannabis. Do you have any cannabis like, and you just have to really, you have to wait till you get a concrete answer. Twenty five, three, two, one, eighteen. Oh, wait, that was Dylan's second, oh, I didn't read. Fuck you. Give me the phone number. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. All right, their phone number is again, a game and editing start bleep out here.
