00:00:04.400 --> 00:00:06.639
Two best friends talking fast.
00:00:06.879 --> 00:00:08.480
We're missing to our case.
00:00:08.640 --> 00:00:09.839
We're having a blast.
00:00:10.160 --> 00:00:12.800
Seeing these dreams, clicking on screens.
00:00:13.039 --> 00:00:14.400
It was all bad.
00:00:16.000 --> 00:00:18.640
Like you know, like whatever.
00:00:20.320 --> 00:00:21.440
Never never never.
00:00:24.559 --> 00:00:27.359
We'll take you back like whatever.
00:00:30.960 --> 00:00:36.000
Welcome to Like Whatever, a podcast for, by, and about you next.
00:00:36.240 --> 00:00:39.679
I'm Nicole, and this is my BFFF, Heather.
00:00:40.159 --> 00:00:40.719
Hello.
00:00:41.679 --> 00:00:49.520
So I have to start by because you you probably already know this, but it's the hundredth anniversary of Winnie the Pooh.
00:00:49.840 --> 00:00:50.960
I did know that.
00:00:51.280 --> 00:00:53.280
Because he's on the cover of Time.
00:00:54.479 --> 00:00:55.439
Or one of them.
00:00:55.840 --> 00:00:56.159
Okay.
00:00:56.719 --> 00:01:01.759
Yeah, it's coming up uh October 14th.
00:01:01.840 --> 00:01:02.799
It turns 100.
00:01:02.880 --> 00:01:08.799
But his birthday is actually uh wait.
00:01:10.000 --> 00:01:11.920
Uh yeah, 1921.
00:01:12.159 --> 00:01:15.359
He was born in April of 1921.
00:01:16.000 --> 00:01:17.680
But his A Milne?
00:01:18.319 --> 00:01:19.519
Or Winnie the Pooh.
00:01:19.680 --> 00:01:20.799
It says Winnie the Pooh.
00:01:21.439 --> 00:01:27.359
But the anniversary of him, so I guess maybe it's the birth date in like his bio.
00:01:28.319 --> 00:01:28.719
Maybe.
00:01:29.120 --> 00:01:32.799
There was five years old when there was a bear.
00:01:33.680 --> 00:01:34.000
Oh.
00:01:34.400 --> 00:01:35.519
There is an actual bear.
00:01:35.760 --> 00:01:36.560
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:01:36.719 --> 00:01:38.159
So maybe it's the bear's birthday.
00:01:38.400 --> 00:01:39.040
Maybe.
00:01:39.280 --> 00:01:40.159
I don't remember.
00:01:40.400 --> 00:01:40.719
Okay.
00:01:41.280 --> 00:01:42.319
That's irrelevant.
00:01:42.560 --> 00:01:49.359
Have you ever seen the thing where it they um have taken it down to those are all um psychological issues?
00:01:49.840 --> 00:01:50.079
Yes.
00:01:50.159 --> 00:01:51.120
And I agree with all of them.
00:01:51.280 --> 00:01:52.959
You want to guess which one I am.
00:01:56.640 --> 00:01:58.239
Nobody cares.
00:01:59.920 --> 00:02:03.920
I use him as an example of personality for people all the time.
00:02:04.239 --> 00:02:06.319
I am the living embodiment of Eeyore.
00:02:06.560 --> 00:02:06.879
Yeah.
00:02:07.040 --> 00:02:11.039
But when I meet someone that's like that, I'll tell someone, I'll be like, they're they're like Eeyore.
00:02:11.439 --> 00:02:15.840
Like it's literally a cloud that hangs over me all the time.
00:02:16.000 --> 00:02:16.400
Yes.
00:02:16.639 --> 00:02:18.879
And rains right directly on me.
00:02:20.560 --> 00:02:21.280
No joke.
00:02:21.520 --> 00:02:22.560
And nobody cares.
00:02:22.960 --> 00:02:24.240
Nobody cares.
00:02:24.879 --> 00:02:25.199
No.
00:02:27.199 --> 00:02:27.840
Nope.
00:02:29.039 --> 00:02:32.639
Uh so what'd you I didn't do anything cool.
00:02:32.719 --> 00:02:35.039
I did want to complain for just one second, though.
00:02:35.280 --> 00:02:35.599
Okay.
00:02:35.840 --> 00:02:42.800
Because so weird thing is the day after Columbus Day, which is next week.
00:02:43.039 --> 00:02:43.280
Correct.
00:02:43.599 --> 00:02:47.280
Is the busiest day in the post office for whatever reason.
00:02:47.439 --> 00:02:52.400
It's the stupidest, it's not like the day after Columbus Day off.
00:02:52.639 --> 00:02:53.039
Really?
00:02:53.199 --> 00:02:55.680
Oh, that's which I'm fine with because it's not real.
00:02:56.000 --> 00:02:57.919
It's not a real holiday, but it is a federal holiday.
00:02:58.159 --> 00:02:58.639
It is, I know.
00:02:59.520 --> 00:03:01.840
I will say I do miss having the day off.
00:03:02.639 --> 00:03:03.840
I'll accept it.
00:03:04.000 --> 00:03:04.319
Yes.
00:03:04.800 --> 00:03:09.759
Um it's weird because it's in the middle of October.
00:03:09.919 --> 00:03:13.840
It's not like the day after Thanksgiving or anything, but it is.
00:03:15.199 --> 00:03:24.560
I swear to God, it is Christmas is coming early this year because the last two days have been brutal.
00:03:24.879 --> 00:03:26.879
Yesterday was an abomination.
00:03:27.039 --> 00:03:30.479
I said I I don't know what next week's gonna be like when today was like this.
00:03:30.639 --> 00:03:31.759
This is gonna be awful.
00:03:32.080 --> 00:03:34.319
Well, everybody's shopping early because everybody's broke.
00:03:34.479 --> 00:03:34.879
I guess.
00:03:35.039 --> 00:03:53.280
Well, it's it's because the Christmas catalogs start rolling out, so like it's the my it's not packages so much that are the problem, but it's the mail volume and it's those stupid ass catalogs that that somehows get like 15 of them on one day.
00:03:53.520 --> 00:03:55.680
I don't even know how they still make those things hot.
00:03:56.159 --> 00:04:02.960
Somebody must be ordering from them because I had a ton of them today and I had a ton yesterday.
00:04:04.000 --> 00:04:05.439
Almost literally a ton.
00:04:05.520 --> 00:04:06.319
It was a lot.
00:04:06.479 --> 00:04:07.280
Ugh.
00:04:07.599 --> 00:04:09.680
So I just want to bitch about that.
00:04:09.840 --> 00:04:13.520
Yeah that apparently Christmas is a coming a week early.
00:04:14.400 --> 00:04:24.800
I was out till normally I am done on a Monday 2.30 somewhere in that neighborhood.
00:04:24.959 --> 00:04:30.720
On a Tuesday depends on if we get the grocery flyers, which we also had today.
00:04:32.000 --> 00:04:37.279
Like one between 1.30 and 3 generally.
00:04:38.240 --> 00:04:41.600
Pretty much any day of the week is usually between 1.30 and 3.
00:04:41.759 --> 00:04:42.480
3 is late.
00:04:42.959 --> 00:04:45.279
I didn't get back till 4 o'clock yesterday.
00:04:45.920 --> 00:04:47.199
And 3 30 today.
00:04:48.000 --> 00:04:48.639
I know.
00:04:49.279 --> 00:04:49.759
Gross.
00:04:50.000 --> 00:04:51.199
That's almost dark.
00:04:51.439 --> 00:04:52.800
It's gonna be dark.
00:04:53.120 --> 00:04:53.759
I know.
00:04:54.160 --> 00:04:55.920
Uh driving over from here in the dark.
00:04:56.560 --> 00:04:56.720
Yeah.
00:04:56.879 --> 00:04:57.600
It's a struggle.
00:04:57.839 --> 00:04:58.319
I know.
00:04:58.560 --> 00:04:59.040
Yeah.
00:04:59.360 --> 00:05:02.079
We should figure out how to meet in Lewis somewhere.
00:05:04.639 --> 00:05:06.720
I don't think that would be possible.
00:05:08.480 --> 00:05:11.759
I mean the library, but I don't think it's quiet enough for us to do all this.
00:05:12.079 --> 00:05:13.199
They have the special rooms.
00:05:14.160 --> 00:05:18.240
They have special rooms, but the library's not open until uh past 4 30, I don't think.
00:05:18.639 --> 00:05:18.959
Okay.
00:05:19.519 --> 00:05:21.519
I have actually no idea what time the library closes.
00:05:21.920 --> 00:05:22.959
You're just talking about your age.
00:05:23.360 --> 00:05:29.439
I imagine it would be open after school, but then I'm thinking it's a state-run entity.
00:05:30.319 --> 00:05:31.199
I don't know.
00:05:31.600 --> 00:05:32.560
I have no idea.
00:05:33.360 --> 00:05:34.959
Libraries could be open 24-7.
00:05:35.199 --> 00:05:36.000
I don't know.
00:05:37.839 --> 00:05:39.120
And then one other thing.
00:05:41.199 --> 00:05:43.199
Gypsy Rose Blanchard.
00:05:43.920 --> 00:05:44.480
Yo.
00:05:44.800 --> 00:05:45.279
What?
00:05:46.160 --> 00:05:49.759
Yo, as soon as all I saw was the headline.
00:05:49.920 --> 00:05:51.839
I was like, that bitch did it again.
00:05:52.160 --> 00:05:58.560
I sent it in as soon as it came up, I sent it to my sister, and my sister just sent back uh oh.
00:06:00.240 --> 00:06:02.959
I mean, that is a horrible coincidence for her.
00:06:03.279 --> 00:06:06.879
I mean, she didn't, but come on, come on.
00:06:07.279 --> 00:06:09.279
I'm pretty sure it was a drug overdose too.
00:06:10.560 --> 00:06:12.319
He was only what in his 30s.
00:06:12.560 --> 00:06:12.959
Yeah.
00:06:13.199 --> 00:06:13.519
Yeah.
00:06:13.759 --> 00:06:14.079
Yeah.
00:06:14.319 --> 00:06:14.720
Mm-hmm.
00:06:14.800 --> 00:06:15.199
Mm-hmm.
00:06:15.839 --> 00:06:16.319
Mm-hmm.
00:06:17.120 --> 00:06:17.680
Anyway.
00:06:17.920 --> 00:06:20.319
I started watching the new season of American Horror Story.
00:06:20.480 --> 00:06:21.279
And how is it?
00:06:21.439 --> 00:06:23.120
I actually am really enjoying it.
00:06:23.759 --> 00:06:25.040
It's about Satan.
00:06:25.439 --> 00:06:26.399
I love Satan.
00:06:26.560 --> 00:06:27.439
I think you would enjoy it.
00:06:27.680 --> 00:06:28.399
I might watch it.
00:06:28.560 --> 00:06:33.519
It's got all the old everybody in it, all the actors and characters.
00:06:33.759 --> 00:06:44.720
And it's 13 episodes, and each episode, because it's 13 seasons now, there's something relevant in each uh episode behind from the past.
00:06:44.879 --> 00:06:51.439
They make a lot of Taylor Swift little puns, which is number 13.
00:06:52.079 --> 00:06:53.120
There was some other.
00:06:53.279 --> 00:07:00.959
Oh, they should I probably shouldn't give it away, but they do a Stefan um little pun from SNL.
00:07:01.199 --> 00:07:01.920
I'll have to watch it.
00:07:02.079 --> 00:07:03.839
Yeah, it's it's I've really been enjoying it.
00:07:03.920 --> 00:07:10.800
There are only six episodes out so far because it's stupid HBO or whatever that has to release one a week.
00:07:11.040 --> 00:07:12.319
Oh, they do that now again.
00:07:12.480 --> 00:07:14.639
What happened I didn't like that back in the day.
00:07:14.959 --> 00:07:17.120
No, I don't like it now.
00:07:17.279 --> 00:07:20.160
No, you can't, I can't remember from week to week what happened.
00:07:20.319 --> 00:07:26.879
Well, you can't release a whole season of shows for years.
00:07:27.120 --> 00:07:27.360
Right.
00:07:27.600 --> 00:07:30.560
Like, okay, so when we were kids, you had to watch it every week.
00:07:30.720 --> 00:07:35.519
Then you would go this whole summer without it, and then you could watch reruns and hopefully But that was all we knew.
00:07:35.680 --> 00:07:36.160
Exactly.
00:07:36.399 --> 00:07:41.519
And then you gave us a whole season at a time and then you stripped us of it.
00:07:41.600 --> 00:07:43.199
So you can't just take it back.
00:07:43.439 --> 00:07:46.959
And now Netflix is like the only one that does that, and they just have shit programming now.
00:07:47.120 --> 00:07:47.360
I know.
00:07:47.439 --> 00:07:52.560
Like Netflix hasn't had anything good on it in a long time, and it's my most expensive prescription subscription.
00:07:52.720 --> 00:07:55.040
But I'm like, I don't want to drop Netflix.
00:07:55.199 --> 00:07:55.519
I know.
00:07:55.680 --> 00:07:57.439
But they literally don't put anything good on it.
00:07:57.600 --> 00:08:00.879
No, I don't know how I'm gonna watch the Eagles game because I don't have the NFL network.
00:08:01.600 --> 00:08:02.240
Yeah.
00:08:02.560 --> 00:08:04.480
Mom was like, oh, just come over here.
00:08:04.720 --> 00:08:07.040
I was like, at nine in the morning.
00:08:08.720 --> 00:08:09.680
I don't know.
00:08:10.000 --> 00:08:12.240
But she will make me breakfast, so true.
00:08:12.639 --> 00:08:14.000
Why can't you bring the bird?
00:08:14.800 --> 00:08:15.920
Complicated stuff.
00:08:16.800 --> 00:08:17.920
Why can't you bring the bird?
00:08:18.079 --> 00:08:19.199
She's scared of birds.
00:08:19.439 --> 00:08:20.240
She had a bird.
00:08:20.639 --> 00:08:21.519
And she hated it.
00:08:21.759 --> 00:08:23.040
Okay, we've talked about this before.
00:08:23.680 --> 00:08:24.399
She didn't have the bird.
00:08:24.480 --> 00:08:25.439
My dad had a bird.
00:08:25.680 --> 00:08:26.000
Okay.
00:08:28.160 --> 00:08:30.399
But that was the two things I wanted to bitch about.
00:08:30.639 --> 00:08:30.959
Okay.
00:08:31.600 --> 00:08:32.399
I'm done now.
00:08:32.559 --> 00:08:32.879
Yeah.
00:08:33.120 --> 00:08:33.440
All right.
00:08:33.759 --> 00:08:34.159
Good.
00:08:34.480 --> 00:08:37.679
So before I get started, like share a rate review.

Indeed.
00:08:58.960 --> 00:09:00.799
So Heather doesn't even know.
00:09:01.200 --> 00:09:01.679
I don't know.
00:09:01.919 --> 00:09:03.679
I love doing that too once in a while.
00:09:04.399 --> 00:09:05.039
All right.
00:09:05.360 --> 00:09:07.600
So I was looking.
00:09:08.080 --> 00:09:17.279
Um again, I love to like look at this month in history, this day in history, Gen X events, things that happen in the 80s.
00:09:17.440 --> 00:09:19.919
I just kind of scroll around and look for something good.
00:09:20.000 --> 00:09:31.519
So I found out that October 15th, which is next week, but next week's your week, is um National Grouch Day.
00:09:32.399 --> 00:09:33.519
And it's my week.
00:09:34.799 --> 00:09:42.000
So let's fuck around and find out about National Grouch Day and some Grouches Gen X grew up with.
00:09:42.559 --> 00:09:44.080
Is Oscar gonna be one of them?
00:09:44.159 --> 00:09:45.360
Because he's like my favorite.
00:09:45.519 --> 00:09:45.919
Of course.
00:09:46.559 --> 00:09:47.360
Love me some Oscar.
00:09:47.600 --> 00:09:48.559
It starts with him.
00:09:48.720 --> 00:09:50.720
He just lives in a trash can and he's cool with it.
00:09:50.879 --> 00:09:51.120
Yeah.
00:09:51.279 --> 00:09:52.000
That's all he wants.
00:09:52.080 --> 00:09:52.240
Yeah.
00:09:52.399 --> 00:09:53.039
I don't blame him.
00:09:53.200 --> 00:09:54.080
That's all I want too.
00:09:54.559 --> 00:09:57.039
Just leave me alone in my trash pile.
00:10:00.159 --> 00:10:09.360
So my references were daysofhear.com and a lot of wiki in here because wiki is good when you just want basic information about things.
00:10:09.440 --> 00:10:10.720
And that worked out for me.
00:10:10.799 --> 00:10:13.360
So I I have to stop making excuses for using wiki.
00:10:14.559 --> 00:10:15.840
I just feel bad when I do it.
00:10:16.000 --> 00:10:16.320
Okay.
00:10:16.480 --> 00:10:18.399
But I guess if I disclose it, it's all good.
00:10:18.559 --> 00:10:19.120
All right.
00:10:19.440 --> 00:10:19.840
Beginning.
00:10:20.159 --> 00:10:21.519
We never said we were going to be truthful here.
00:10:22.000 --> 00:10:22.399
We did not.
00:10:22.480 --> 00:10:23.279
We actually tell you.
00:10:23.360 --> 00:10:23.679
We're not.
00:10:24.080 --> 00:10:25.360
Don't repeat it unless you look it up.
00:10:25.919 --> 00:10:27.440
We just tell nothing but lies.
00:10:28.879 --> 00:10:30.399
Well, that's not all true.
00:10:30.639 --> 00:10:31.360
Um, all right.
00:10:31.519 --> 00:10:41.919
Beginning in 1969, Oscar the Grouch joined the cast of Sesame Street uh in delighting American children through the children's television network and the public broadcasting service.
00:10:42.240 --> 00:10:43.679
He's my favorite Grouch.
00:10:44.480 --> 00:10:45.039
Maybe.
00:10:45.200 --> 00:10:45.600
I don't know.
00:10:46.000 --> 00:10:47.360
See, there's some good ones.
00:10:47.600 --> 00:10:53.120
Um always acting a bit grumpy and complaining a lot, Oscar's name reveals his character.
00:10:53.440 --> 00:10:59.519
The origins of National Grouch Day are not specifically connected to Oscar the Grouch or Sesame Street, however.
00:10:59.679 --> 00:11:10.639
In fact, the day seems to have been created in 1976 when Bill and Helen Chase of Chase's calendar of events were inspired by their granddaughter Monica.
00:11:10.879 --> 00:11:19.679
In sixth grade in Michigan at the time, Monica had particular had a particularly grouchy teacher whose birthday was on October 15th.
00:11:20.480 --> 00:11:25.519
So as a practical joke, Monica and her friends dubbed this day National Grouch Day.
00:11:25.759 --> 00:11:27.120
That's hilarious.
00:11:27.759 --> 00:11:30.559
As now National Grouch Day grew in popularity.
00:11:45.840 --> 00:11:46.799
I love it.
00:11:47.200 --> 00:11:48.639
I can't wait for the 15th.
00:11:48.799 --> 00:11:52.000
I'm gonna celebrate myself.
00:11:52.240 --> 00:11:55.519
That's uh my first wedding first marriage wedding anniversary.
00:11:55.759 --> 00:11:56.480
Yes, it is.
00:11:56.720 --> 00:11:58.240
So it's a good holiday for this.
00:11:58.480 --> 00:12:00.240
It is all right.
00:12:00.399 --> 00:12:04.159
So I just went through and I picked out some grouches, and here we go.
00:12:04.320 --> 00:12:06.320
Number one, Fred Sanford.
00:12:06.879 --> 00:12:07.519
Oh yeah.
00:12:07.840 --> 00:12:08.399
Fred G.
00:12:08.559 --> 00:12:15.039
Sanford is a fictional character from the 1972 to 1977 NBC sitcom, Sanford and Sons.
00:12:15.679 --> 00:12:18.480
Um Elizabeth, I'm coming.
00:12:18.960 --> 00:12:20.639
I'm coming, Elizabeth.
00:12:21.919 --> 00:12:28.240
Uh Sanford was betrayed, uh betrayed, portrayed by comedian Red Fox.
00:12:28.480 --> 00:12:34.080
Fred is an elderly, widowed, sarcastic, and cantankerous junk and auntie dealer.
00:12:36.799 --> 00:12:38.559
I think we're seeing a pattern.
00:12:39.440 --> 00:12:42.799
Who runs Sanford and son from his home with his son Lamont.
00:12:43.600 --> 00:13:01.279
Fred is known for a grouchy, irritable disposition and a need to have things his way, delusions of grandeur and occasional get rich quick, get rich quick schemes, uh, poor cooking, bow-legged walking, and a self-diagnosed arthritis.
00:13:02.000 --> 00:13:06.320
Disdain for his son Lamont, often calling him a big dummy.
00:13:06.480 --> 00:13:07.120
Yeah.
00:13:07.519 --> 00:13:08.559
I love that show.
00:13:08.720 --> 00:13:11.759
I man, I if I catch it when I'm flipping through, I'll stop.
00:13:12.000 --> 00:13:13.440
It's it's hilarious.
00:13:13.679 --> 00:13:21.120
Fred moved with his wife Elizabeth and son Lamont to Los Angeles, well, Los Angeles' Watts neighborhood in 1946.
00:13:21.279 --> 00:13:25.519
After Elizabeth's sudden death, Fred raised Lamont alone.
00:13:26.080 --> 00:13:29.120
Elizabeth, I'm coming for you.
00:13:29.519 --> 00:13:32.559
Lamont dropped out of school to help run the junk business.
00:13:32.799 --> 00:13:38.879
Red Fox appeared in all episodes except for nine in 1974 due to a contract dispute.
00:13:40.159 --> 00:13:44.240
The role earned Fox a Golden Globe and multiple Emmy nominations.
00:13:44.480 --> 00:13:52.159
TV Guide ranked Fred number 36 on its list of the 50 greatest TV characters of all time.
00:13:52.559 --> 00:13:53.840
Yes, I agree.
00:13:54.000 --> 00:13:54.320
Yeah.
00:13:54.559 --> 00:13:56.720
And he's a good he's a good grouchy person.
00:13:57.600 --> 00:13:58.559
It's acceptable.
00:13:58.960 --> 00:13:59.279
Okay.
00:13:59.600 --> 00:14:00.080
All right.
00:14:00.399 --> 00:14:03.039
Next, Archie Bunker.
00:14:03.440 --> 00:14:04.799
Does not live in a trash pile.
00:14:05.039 --> 00:14:05.519
He does not.
00:14:05.679 --> 00:14:06.720
But he is a grouch.
00:14:06.879 --> 00:14:07.840
He is a grouch.
00:14:09.120 --> 00:14:09.440
Man.
00:14:09.840 --> 00:14:14.480
That episode where uh what's her name, dies?
00:14:17.440 --> 00:14:19.039
Have you seen that episode?
00:14:19.360 --> 00:14:20.480
I mean, probably.
00:14:20.720 --> 00:14:23.600
Yeah, but like as a recent as an adult.
00:14:25.440 --> 00:14:25.919
Yeah.
00:14:26.080 --> 00:14:27.200
I don't know if I want to watch it.
00:14:27.360 --> 00:14:28.720
Why can't I think of her name?
00:14:29.039 --> 00:14:29.679
Edith.
00:14:30.720 --> 00:14:31.360
Edith.
00:14:32.000 --> 00:14:32.480
Yeah.
00:14:32.720 --> 00:14:33.039
Okay.
00:14:34.879 --> 00:14:41.840
Archibald Bunker is a fictional character from the 1970s American television sitcom All in the Family.
00:14:42.159 --> 00:14:45.039
Uh, Bunker is the main character of the series.
00:14:45.200 --> 00:14:50.080
He's a World War II vet, uh, blue-collar worker and family man.
00:14:50.480 --> 00:14:58.799
All in the Family premiered on January 12th, 1971, where he was depicted as the head of the Bunker family.
00:14:59.039 --> 00:15:07.200
In 1979, the show was retold and renamed Archie Bunker's Place, and it finally went off the air in 1983.
00:15:07.600 --> 00:15:14.480
Bunker lived at the fictional address of 704 Hauser Street in the Astoria neighborhood of Queens in New York City.
00:15:14.720 --> 00:15:27.440
All in the family got many of its laughs by playing on Archie's bigotry, although the dynamic tension between Archie and his left-wing son-in-law Mike provided an ongoing political and social sounding board for a variety of topics.
00:15:27.759 --> 00:15:29.039
Rest in peace, Rob Reiner.
00:15:29.519 --> 00:15:30.159
Yes.
00:15:30.559 --> 00:15:34.320
Archie appears in all but seven episodes of the series.
00:15:34.639 --> 00:15:38.799
Three fifth season episodes were missed because of a contract dispute.
00:15:39.120 --> 00:15:44.399
Seems to be a theme between O'Connor and series creator Norman Lear.
00:15:44.879 --> 00:15:55.200
Archie was modeled after Norman Lear's father, Herman Lear, and on Alf Garnett from the BBC sitcom till Death Do Us Part, on which All in the Family was based.
00:15:56.960 --> 00:15:57.919
It always starts in Britain.
00:15:58.000 --> 00:15:58.320
I know.
00:15:58.480 --> 00:16:00.000
That's because they're funny motherfuckers.
00:16:00.159 --> 00:16:01.519
Yeah, they they really are.
00:16:02.320 --> 00:16:02.639
What is it?
00:16:02.799 --> 00:16:03.519
Brit Box?
00:16:03.679 --> 00:16:05.039
Man, I wish I could get that channel.
00:16:05.120 --> 00:16:05.279
Yeah.
00:16:05.440 --> 00:16:06.799
They have some good looking stuff on there.
00:16:06.960 --> 00:16:07.600
Yeah.
00:16:08.399 --> 00:16:10.799
But I'm not paying for another sub prescription subscription.
00:16:10.960 --> 00:16:12.159
You know who I did talk today.
00:16:12.559 --> 00:16:13.120
It's okay.
00:16:13.440 --> 00:16:15.840
You know who I don't think is funny?
00:16:16.159 --> 00:16:16.960
Uh, Mr.
00:16:17.120 --> 00:16:17.679
Bean.
00:16:17.840 --> 00:16:18.639
No, I know.
00:16:18.720 --> 00:16:19.120
Didn't he?
00:16:19.360 --> 00:16:20.080
So they they failed.
00:16:20.320 --> 00:16:21.679
Maybe they failed on that one.
00:16:21.840 --> 00:16:22.799
Yeah, yeah.
00:16:23.200 --> 00:16:24.080
Anyway.
00:16:24.480 --> 00:16:26.960
What was that show that we loved?
00:16:27.279 --> 00:16:28.559
Absolutely fabulous.
00:16:28.799 --> 00:16:29.120
Yes.
00:16:29.440 --> 00:16:30.320
Can't get enough of it.
00:16:30.480 --> 00:16:31.039
Oh my god.
00:16:31.120 --> 00:16:32.399
That was the best show ever.
00:16:33.200 --> 00:16:36.080
I still, if I catch it on somewhere, I'll watch it.
00:16:36.399 --> 00:16:38.159
I never see it anywhere.
00:16:38.480 --> 00:16:47.200
Um in 1999, TV Guide ranked Archie Bunker number five on its 50 Greatest TV Characters of All Time list.
00:16:47.360 --> 00:16:58.480
In 2005, Archie Bunker was listed as number one on Bravo's 100 Greatest TV characters, defeating runners up like Ralph Cramden, Lucy Ricardo, Fonzie, and Homer Simpson.
00:16:58.799 --> 00:17:03.519
Archie's chair is in the permanent collection of the National Museum of American History.
00:17:03.759 --> 00:17:04.559
I have seen it.
00:17:05.279 --> 00:17:06.480
I think I have too.
00:17:06.720 --> 00:17:13.759
Archie has a gruff, unbearing demeanor, largely defined by his bigotry towards a diverse group of individuals.
00:17:13.920 --> 00:17:18.799
He refers to his son-in-law, Michael, as meathead and dumb polock.
00:17:19.359 --> 00:17:25.359
Archie himself is depicted as a striving, loving father, and basically decent man.
00:17:25.599 --> 00:17:32.079
Nevertheless, he is ill-tempered and frequently tells his long-suffering wife, Edith, to stifle herself.
00:17:32.400 --> 00:17:37.200
Series creator Norman Lear admitted this is how his father treated his mother.
00:17:38.799 --> 00:17:44.480
Archie turned the angry white male into a cultural icon, according to CBS News.
00:17:44.640 --> 00:17:53.680
After the end of the second season taping, O'Connor said, paraphrasing James Baldwin, the American white man is trapped by his own cultural history.
00:17:53.920 --> 00:17:55.920
He doesn't know what to do about it.
00:17:56.160 --> 00:17:59.920
Archie's dilemma is coping with a world that is changing in front of him.
00:18:00.079 --> 00:18:07.039
He doesn't know what to do except to lose his temper, mouth his poisons, look elsewhere to fix the blame for his own discomfort.
00:18:07.200 --> 00:18:08.960
He isn't a totally evil man.
00:18:09.119 --> 00:18:16.160
He's shrewd, but he won't get to the root of his problems because the root of his problem is himself and he doesn't know it.
00:18:16.400 --> 00:18:16.880
Yep.
00:18:17.119 --> 00:18:17.599
Yep.
00:18:17.920 --> 00:18:20.319
Then he went on to be a police officer.
00:18:20.640 --> 00:18:21.039
He did.
00:18:21.279 --> 00:18:22.880
In whatever show that was.
00:18:23.359 --> 00:18:25.039
I love Carol O'Connor.
00:18:25.279 --> 00:18:25.680
Yeah.
00:18:25.920 --> 00:18:27.279
I think it's a I think.
00:18:27.359 --> 00:18:27.680
Yep.
00:18:27.920 --> 00:18:28.559
Yep.
00:18:29.200 --> 00:18:29.680
All right.
00:18:29.839 --> 00:18:30.880
My next one.
00:18:31.440 --> 00:18:32.640
Al Bundy.
00:18:32.960 --> 00:18:34.799
Oh, another great one.
00:18:35.119 --> 00:18:36.960
Not in a trash pile.
00:18:37.440 --> 00:18:37.759
No.
00:18:38.240 --> 00:18:39.039
Well, kind of.
00:18:39.279 --> 00:18:40.240
They were white trash.
00:18:40.400 --> 00:18:40.720
Yeah.
00:18:40.880 --> 00:18:41.759
That's true.
00:18:42.079 --> 00:18:43.359
Man, I love that show.
00:18:43.440 --> 00:18:44.720
It does not hold up.
00:18:45.039 --> 00:18:47.359
But I do love that show.
00:18:47.599 --> 00:19:02.559
It's so funny to go back and watch Christina Applegate back then because she's become such like an icon and sophisticated and standing up for you know at lots of things and to see her play that part is just have you watched Mount Modern Family?
00:19:02.720 --> 00:19:03.200
Oh yeah.
00:19:03.440 --> 00:19:03.680
Okay.
00:19:03.759 --> 00:19:05.039
So have I don't know.
00:19:05.359 --> 00:19:05.519
Yeah.
00:19:05.759 --> 00:19:26.559
I told you my theory is that out that Modern Family, Al and Peg get divorced, and that he turns because I mean they always talk about whatever her name, the daughter's past and how she was the Kelly Bundy.
00:19:26.960 --> 00:19:30.799
And then Bud, like you could see Bud could be gay.
00:19:31.039 --> 00:19:32.000
Yep, yep, yep.
00:19:32.240 --> 00:19:32.960
I'm telling you.
00:19:33.119 --> 00:19:33.519
Yeah.
00:19:33.759 --> 00:19:34.559
I think you're right.
00:19:34.720 --> 00:19:45.920
And then when when Peg got divorced, she went and found a biker and then moved to Sons of Anarchy and had one of the most beautiful human beings ever put on this earth.
00:19:48.400 --> 00:19:50.079
I didn't even know you had a crush on him.
00:19:50.240 --> 00:19:50.960
Oh, he's hot.
00:19:51.119 --> 00:19:52.000
He is hot.
00:19:53.119 --> 00:19:53.680
Yeah.
00:19:53.839 --> 00:19:54.160
Yeah.
00:19:54.400 --> 00:19:57.519
I mean, he's no Johnny Depp, but he's still hot.
00:19:57.680 --> 00:19:58.640
I like the bad boys.
00:19:58.720 --> 00:19:59.359
Yeah, yeah.
00:19:59.599 --> 00:20:00.480
Always have.
00:20:00.880 --> 00:20:01.759
So sad.
00:20:02.880 --> 00:20:03.359
All right.
00:20:03.599 --> 00:20:12.079
Alphonse Bundy is a fictional character and the protagonist of the American television series Married with Children, played by Ed O'Neill.
00:20:12.160 --> 00:20:21.119
He is a misanthropic working class father of two who is portrayed as a tragic, tragicomedic figure.
00:20:21.279 --> 00:20:22.720
I knew I was going to mess that word up.
00:20:22.960 --> 00:20:25.039
I looked, I read it like 10 times last night.
00:20:25.119 --> 00:20:26.160
I was like, I'm still going to mess it up.
00:20:26.240 --> 00:20:26.640
I don't know.
00:20:26.960 --> 00:20:27.440
That happens.
00:20:27.680 --> 00:20:32.000
I could have gone in and changed the word for like a synonym, but no, I chose to struggle through it.
00:20:32.160 --> 00:20:32.400
Nope.
00:20:32.480 --> 00:20:34.640
I said, no, I will conquer you.
00:20:35.839 --> 00:20:36.640
I didn't.
00:20:36.799 --> 00:20:44.640
Um, he laments his lot in life, but nevertheless stands by his family, displaying wit, self-sacrifice, and resilience in times of crisis.
00:20:44.960 --> 00:20:49.599
He and his wife Peggy were rated the 59th best characters on television by Bravo.
00:20:50.000 --> 00:20:56.720
And in 2016 interview, O'Neill said that he based his interpretation of Al Bundy on one of his uncles.
00:20:57.039 --> 00:20:57.759
Makes sense.
00:20:58.720 --> 00:21:02.160
Al Bundy was born on November 7th in Chicago, Illinois.
00:21:02.400 --> 00:21:04.799
Al's mother may have been an alcoholic.
00:21:04.960 --> 00:21:13.359
As shown in flashback sequences, he recalls a moment when his mother tells him that he can become anything, and then in real time remarks, You're right, Mom.
00:21:13.440 --> 00:21:15.119
Try saying that when you're sober.
00:21:15.759 --> 00:21:23.359
He was a star fullback on the Polk High School football team and was offered a scholarship to play college football.
00:21:23.519 --> 00:21:31.119
However, a broken leg and his subsequent marriage to high school sweetheart Peggy Wanker, while intoxicated, changed his fortunes.
00:21:31.359 --> 00:21:31.920
Yeah.
00:21:33.279 --> 00:21:50.160
Al and Peggy lived in Chicago and have two children: Kelly, played by Christina Applegate, a promiscuous, dim-witted blonde, and Bud, played by David Faustino, an intelligent but sex-obsessed and unpopular schemer named after Budweiser Beer.
00:21:50.400 --> 00:21:51.359
I don't think I knew that.
00:21:51.599 --> 00:21:53.039
I didn't know that either.
00:21:53.599 --> 00:21:59.599
Al works as a shoe salesman at the fictional Gary Shoes and Accessories for today's women.
00:22:00.400 --> 00:22:02.799
In the fictional New Market Mall.
00:22:03.039 --> 00:22:09.680
Al has a sarcastic and cynical sense of humor, and he frequently makes sardonic observations.
00:22:10.240 --> 00:22:13.200
Politically, Al appears to have mixed views.
00:22:13.359 --> 00:22:21.039
Various episodes depict him mocking Rush Limbaugh, whereas others show him as a committed fan of conservative icon John Wayne.
00:22:21.279 --> 00:22:24.480
He is an ardent admirer of President Dwight D.
00:22:24.640 --> 00:22:25.599
Eisenhower.
00:22:25.759 --> 00:22:33.039
He continually battles with Marcy, a staunch feminist, and even forms a misogynist group named No Mam.
00:22:33.680 --> 00:22:34.720
I remember that.
00:22:35.279 --> 00:22:46.400
His views on economic issues display a populist disdain for the wealthy, including leading a violent protest against a proposed law that would tax beer but not wine.
00:22:48.559 --> 00:22:50.000
Oh, did you see today?
00:22:50.240 --> 00:22:53.039
Um who died today?
00:22:54.000 --> 00:22:55.519
Who died today?
00:22:55.839 --> 00:22:59.359
It was the evangelist that was married to Tammy Faye.
00:22:59.759 --> 00:23:00.160
Baker.
00:23:00.400 --> 00:23:00.640
Yeah.
00:23:00.960 --> 00:23:01.359
Wow.
00:23:04.079 --> 00:23:04.720
Interesting.
00:23:05.039 --> 00:23:05.680
Yeah.
00:23:06.160 --> 00:23:06.640
All right.
00:23:06.960 --> 00:23:08.000
That's no loss.
00:23:09.599 --> 00:23:12.559
It's just a gen X thing, though, that I thought of.
00:23:14.160 --> 00:23:15.519
All right, next.
00:23:16.240 --> 00:23:18.000
Sophia Petrillo.
00:23:19.920 --> 00:23:24.799
Is one of the four main characters on the 1985 NBC sitcom The Golden Girls.
00:23:25.119 --> 00:23:25.920
That's a good one.
00:23:26.160 --> 00:23:26.480
Yeah.
00:23:26.720 --> 00:23:29.920
The brazen wisecracking mother of Dorothy Zornak.
00:23:30.400 --> 00:23:35.200
Sophia moved in with her daughter and her roommates after her retirement home burns down.
00:23:35.440 --> 00:23:45.119
She became the unspoken matriarchal figure, bringing tall tales, wisecracks, delicious recipes, and a touch of motherly love to the Miami household.
00:23:45.359 --> 00:23:51.279
She is the widow of the late Salvador Petrillo and the mother of Dorothy Zorback.
00:23:51.440 --> 00:23:52.079
Zornak?
00:23:54.000 --> 00:23:57.839
Gloria Harker and the late Philip Petrillo.
00:23:58.160 --> 00:23:59.440
So she has three kids.
00:23:59.680 --> 00:24:00.160
Yes.
00:24:00.400 --> 00:24:02.880
Um I'm a big fan of the Golden Girls.
00:24:03.119 --> 00:24:04.559
That's another one I will definitely stop.
00:24:04.720 --> 00:24:07.279
And there is a channel or two that will run them on street.
00:24:07.839 --> 00:24:08.160
Yeah.
00:24:08.319 --> 00:24:10.240
Oh, that show is hilarious.
00:24:10.559 --> 00:24:13.839
Sophia appeared in all seven seasons of The Golden Girls.
00:24:14.400 --> 00:24:16.079
No disputes where she lost.
00:24:16.480 --> 00:24:16.960
No disputes.
00:24:17.200 --> 00:24:17.519
Exactly.
00:24:17.759 --> 00:24:19.279
There wasn't a seven episode.
00:24:20.079 --> 00:24:20.960
Dispute break.
00:24:21.359 --> 00:24:29.279
Uh during the series run, Sophia resembled the arch archetypic, uh the typical old lady.
00:24:30.720 --> 00:24:32.640
We need to put Italian in there.
00:24:32.799 --> 00:24:33.039
Oh.
00:24:33.359 --> 00:24:40.880
Because she was very much the typical white hair, small structure, wrinkles, and large framed eyeglasses.
00:24:41.039 --> 00:24:48.960
She was shown to have a fondness for conservative elderly clothing, such as cardigans, knee-high stockings, and moo moo dresses.
00:24:49.119 --> 00:24:51.119
I wear knee high stockings, by the way.
00:24:51.359 --> 00:24:55.039
And my admin, who is like 20 years younger than me, makes fun of me.
00:24:55.519 --> 00:24:57.359
One day I wore a dress and I had on black tights.
00:24:57.440 --> 00:24:58.880
She's like, oh my God, are you wearing tights?
00:24:58.960 --> 00:25:00.240
And she reached over and like pulled them.
00:25:00.319 --> 00:25:00.880
And I'm like, Yeah.
00:25:01.039 --> 00:25:02.400
She's like, You're so old school.
00:25:02.480 --> 00:25:03.920
I'm like, what else am I gonna wear?
00:25:04.079 --> 00:25:06.319
I have an undress and it's cold outside.
00:25:07.920 --> 00:25:08.960
Supposed to wear tight.
00:25:09.279 --> 00:25:15.920
Yeah, I don't do that knee boot thing that boots to the knee and then a dress, and your legs are bare.
00:25:16.000 --> 00:25:17.920
No, that's too cold for me.
00:25:18.720 --> 00:25:24.720
You know they have fleece leggings that are skin toned with like it looks like pantyhose over them.
00:25:25.519 --> 00:25:26.160
Yeah.
00:25:27.039 --> 00:25:28.960
So it looks like you're bare-legged.
00:25:29.279 --> 00:25:31.279
Well, it looks like you just have pantyhose on.
00:25:31.519 --> 00:25:31.759
Okay.
00:25:31.920 --> 00:25:35.759
But they're actually flesh-colored fleece-lined leggings.
00:25:35.920 --> 00:25:37.680
I'm gonna keep rocking my black tights.
00:25:37.839 --> 00:25:38.079
Okay.
00:25:38.160 --> 00:25:39.200
I'm just saying.
00:25:40.960 --> 00:25:46.720
Um Sophia owned a tan bamboo handbag that became her personal trademark.
00:25:46.960 --> 00:25:51.039
She carried that purse everywhere, out in public, around the house, even in the bathroom.
00:25:51.279 --> 00:25:58.400
Look, I can attest because my mother does not put that motherfucker down for nothing.
00:25:58.799 --> 00:26:01.680
She takes that bitch everywhere.
00:26:01.920 --> 00:26:05.599
We're in a restaurant, and she goes to the bathroom, she takes it with her.
00:26:05.759 --> 00:26:08.160
And I'm like, what are you doing in there with your purse?
00:26:08.559 --> 00:26:08.960
Nothing.
00:26:09.200 --> 00:26:10.400
She doesn't want you guys to steal it.
00:26:10.799 --> 00:26:13.759
I don't know what she does, but we make fun of her.
00:26:14.720 --> 00:26:16.240
It's that generation, man.
00:26:16.319 --> 00:26:17.440
Like the purse was so much.
00:26:18.319 --> 00:26:20.079
We weren't allowed in our parents' purses.
00:26:20.400 --> 00:26:23.119
Trucks along to the and I'm like, where are you going with your bar?
00:26:24.000 --> 00:26:25.680
Leave your purse here.
00:26:27.200 --> 00:26:30.000
I don't know if they think they have to beat somebody with it or what.
00:26:30.240 --> 00:26:33.279
Maybe she's got her mace in there or something.
00:26:33.519 --> 00:26:33.920
Maybe.
00:26:34.400 --> 00:26:35.680
Who knows what's in there?
00:26:36.000 --> 00:26:37.440
She probably doesn't even know what's in there.
00:26:37.599 --> 00:26:38.640
I bet there's chocolate in there.
00:26:38.799 --> 00:26:39.279
No, yeah.
00:26:39.359 --> 00:26:40.640
In case your dad gets hung down.
00:26:43.920 --> 00:26:56.000
Sophia is best known for her wisecracks put downs and brazen remarks, often commenting on Dorothy's lack of love life, Blanche's promiscuity, and Rose's stupidity.
00:26:56.240 --> 00:27:02.079
However, despite her sharp cart uh criticism of her daughter and housemates, she loves and cares for them deeply.
00:27:02.240 --> 00:27:05.039
She even sees Rose and Blanche as surrogate daughters.
00:27:05.279 --> 00:27:14.480
The other women usually seek Sophia out for advice, which Sophia is all too willing to share, usually beginning with her catchphrase, picture it.
00:27:17.200 --> 00:27:23.039
Like Rose's stories, Sophia's parables often end with a moral from which advice can be gleaned.
00:27:23.279 --> 00:27:34.079
These stories usually also involved historical figures, with Sophia claiming to have had trysts with Pablo Picasso, Sigmund Freud, and Winston Churchill, amongst others.
00:27:34.319 --> 00:27:52.000
She also claims to have befriended many famous people, including Golden Murr, uh Mama Celeste, Mussolini, and claims claimed in the episode Miles to Go that Robert Frost was always nipping at her nose, confusing him with Jack Frost.
00:27:55.759 --> 00:27:56.240
All right.
00:27:56.400 --> 00:27:57.599
Are you ready for the next one?
00:27:57.839 --> 00:27:58.400
I am.
00:27:58.720 --> 00:27:59.920
Gargamel.
00:28:00.160 --> 00:28:06.000
Oh we're taking an old school cartoon.
00:28:06.160 --> 00:28:06.559
Yep.
00:28:06.880 --> 00:28:10.799
Gargamel is a fictional character and the main antagonist of the Smurfs.
00:28:11.200 --> 00:28:15.440
Uh it was created by Belgian cartoonist Peyo.
00:28:16.000 --> 00:28:16.960
Just one name.
00:28:17.359 --> 00:28:18.079
That's all you need.
00:28:18.240 --> 00:28:18.799
Yeah.
00:28:19.039 --> 00:28:29.839
He is depicted as a reclusive sorcerer who, alongside his cat Azriel, frequently attempts to capture the Smurfs for various purposes.
00:28:30.079 --> 00:28:43.039
Although the character was intended to be retired after his first appearance, Peyo began incorporating Gargamel in future stories, allowing him to endure as the archenemy, archenemy of the Smurfs.
00:28:43.920 --> 00:28:46.799
What a wild concept the Smurfs are.
00:28:48.000 --> 00:28:49.359
Definitely LSD involved, right?
00:28:49.839 --> 00:28:55.359
I mean, well, number one, how they get more Smurfs, because there's only one Smurfette.
00:28:55.599 --> 00:28:56.079
Exactly.
00:28:56.400 --> 00:29:00.880
So do they just like reproduce like gremlins?
00:29:01.119 --> 00:29:03.039
Or do they get wet and then they have more?
00:29:03.119 --> 00:29:05.200
Or maybe they're like earthworms and you rip them in half.
00:29:05.519 --> 00:29:07.200
And they become two smurfs.
00:29:08.079 --> 00:29:09.200
Are they gnomes?
00:29:09.359 --> 00:29:11.279
Is that what they're supposed to be?
00:29:12.240 --> 00:29:18.319
Do they have a secret sex cave where they go in and make babies?
00:29:18.640 --> 00:29:20.240
They only have one smurfette.
00:29:21.119 --> 00:29:24.079
And then they all call they all call the one Papa Smurfs.
00:29:24.240 --> 00:29:28.880
So I don't know if maybe Papa Smurf and Smurfette made all them all of them.
00:29:29.119 --> 00:29:32.240
I don't know, but the Smurfs is a wild concept.
00:29:34.880 --> 00:29:40.559
Uh Gargomel is depicted as a perpetually stooped man past his prime.
00:29:40.799 --> 00:29:42.960
His dark robe is worn and patched.
00:29:43.039 --> 00:29:45.599
He is balding and his teeth are rotten.
00:29:45.839 --> 00:29:56.160
He lives in a shack with a feline companion, a brown cat that does not speak but exhibits many anthropomorphic personality traits.
00:29:56.319 --> 00:29:57.680
I swear I can't read that.
00:29:58.720 --> 00:29:59.519
I love that word.
00:29:59.599 --> 00:30:00.720
That's one of my favorite words.
00:30:01.119 --> 00:30:02.000
Did you like how I said it?
00:30:02.160 --> 00:30:03.119
I loved it.
00:30:03.920 --> 00:30:10.960
Gargamel has a deep and strong hate for Smurfs, although he is not above pretending to befriend them when it serves his interest.
00:30:11.279 --> 00:30:13.519
I mean, I don't know how you could not hate Smurfs.
00:30:13.839 --> 00:30:14.400
I know.
00:30:14.640 --> 00:30:15.519
It's creepy.
00:30:15.680 --> 00:30:16.960
They're creepy little fuckers.
00:30:17.119 --> 00:30:17.279
Yeah.
00:30:17.359 --> 00:30:17.519
Yeah.
00:30:17.680 --> 00:30:20.720
I mean, I enjoy watching the Smurfs, but I'm just saying.
00:30:21.839 --> 00:30:23.119
If you had to be with them in real life.
00:30:23.279 --> 00:30:23.519
Yeah.
00:30:23.599 --> 00:30:29.680
Like if I was to watch it now as an adult, as a 52-year-old adult, which is probably how old Gargamel was.
00:30:30.160 --> 00:30:30.960
I don't know.
00:30:31.279 --> 00:30:33.119
Might see things a little different.
00:30:33.920 --> 00:30:40.559
Because, you know, you watch these old shows, and you know, I'm trying to think of the one I'm thinking about.
00:30:41.680 --> 00:30:48.720
We'll use dirty dancing as, you know, as the and and as a kid, you were like, Yeah, don't put baby in the corner.
00:30:49.279 --> 00:30:51.119
And now you're like, what the fuck, baby?
00:30:51.200 --> 00:30:54.160
Like, you went crazy there for like what were you thinking?
00:30:54.319 --> 00:30:54.559
Yeah.
00:30:54.799 --> 00:30:56.160
You were not using your head.
00:30:56.480 --> 00:30:57.119
You were not.
00:30:57.279 --> 00:30:58.880
Your parents raised you better than us.
00:30:59.359 --> 00:31:01.759
What is you belong in the corner?
00:31:02.000 --> 00:31:02.480
Exactly.
00:31:02.640 --> 00:31:04.319
You should have, you should have been sent home.
00:31:04.400 --> 00:31:07.119
That whole thing should have been ended and back home.
00:31:07.279 --> 00:31:08.799
That's what should have happened.
00:31:09.039 --> 00:31:16.559
So, like, now if I watch the Smurfs, what I'd be like, that Smurfs like antagonize this shit out of poor garden milk.
00:31:19.680 --> 00:31:21.519
Like, I'd be trying to kill them too.
00:31:21.759 --> 00:31:22.720
Are they like ants?
00:31:22.880 --> 00:31:26.079
And they like infest his house, and he's like, God damn it.
00:31:26.400 --> 00:31:27.279
Smurfs everywhere.
00:31:27.519 --> 00:31:28.880
Oh, the Smurfs terminator.
00:31:29.359 --> 00:31:31.920
I'm gonna, I'm gonna have to re-watch the Smurfs now.
00:31:32.079 --> 00:31:33.440
Like old school Smurfs.
00:31:33.680 --> 00:31:34.000
Yes.
00:31:34.240 --> 00:31:35.359
Just so I can find out.
00:31:35.599 --> 00:31:36.240
Yeah, yeah.
00:31:36.400 --> 00:31:37.680
You should let us know.
00:31:37.839 --> 00:31:38.240
I will.
00:31:38.400 --> 00:31:39.039
All right.
00:31:39.279 --> 00:31:42.559
Uh Gargomel has a deep and strong hate for Smurfs.
00:31:42.720 --> 00:31:43.920
Oh, I already read that.
00:31:44.160 --> 00:31:48.240
Um Gargamel always wishes harm on the Smurfs.
00:31:48.480 --> 00:31:55.920
He wants to use their essence to create gold, to use them as a key ingredient for a recipe, or to annihilate them entirely.
00:31:56.160 --> 00:31:57.920
I'm telling you, they must have done something.
00:31:58.079 --> 00:31:58.559
Yeah.
00:31:58.799 --> 00:31:59.359
Yeah.
00:31:59.680 --> 00:32:02.640
He's like, oh, I could turn them all fuckers into gold.
00:32:03.279 --> 00:32:06.240
How much money I'd have and I wouldn't be having to live in this shit hole.
00:32:06.480 --> 00:32:07.119
Yeah.
00:32:07.920 --> 00:32:09.039
Already get it.
00:32:09.680 --> 00:32:11.440
No need to rewatch.
00:32:11.920 --> 00:32:13.680
I think it found the problem.
00:32:14.960 --> 00:32:19.119
Gargamel is an invertebrate bungler.
00:32:21.279 --> 00:32:23.119
Or a bumbler like me.
00:32:24.160 --> 00:32:31.599
Some of his schemes to catch Smurfs border on the bazaar, such as a blue magnet that attracted solely blue items.
00:32:32.240 --> 00:32:34.720
Though he does have rare moments of genius.
00:32:35.200 --> 00:32:40.400
The creation of Smurfette for one, which only failed because she betrayed him and joined the Smurfs.
00:32:40.640 --> 00:32:42.240
Oh, so she did not make.
00:32:42.559 --> 00:32:45.680
I knew that when you said she and Papa Smurf made the baby Smurfs.
00:32:45.839 --> 00:32:47.039
I'm like, no, she wasn't.
00:32:47.200 --> 00:32:48.160
She was later.
00:32:49.440 --> 00:32:54.079
Um he has a seemingly, but how did he make a Smurfette?
00:32:55.519 --> 00:32:56.079
I don't know.
00:32:56.240 --> 00:32:57.599
This whole, we're gonna have to revisit it.
00:32:57.680 --> 00:32:58.559
Did he get her DNA?
00:32:58.640 --> 00:33:00.960
And I I mean he cloned.
00:33:01.119 --> 00:33:01.440
I guess.
00:33:02.720 --> 00:33:07.440
No, because if she's the only girl, there's is there other smurfs somewhere that we don't know about?
00:33:07.680 --> 00:33:11.119
Maybe he had maybe their pets somewhere else and he had one ship.
00:33:11.440 --> 00:33:12.240
Um yeah.
00:33:12.559 --> 00:33:13.440
Or we bought one from Dude.
00:33:14.319 --> 00:33:14.559
I do.
00:33:14.720 --> 00:33:17.519
I gotta get down to the bottom of the Smurfs now.
00:33:18.240 --> 00:33:22.799
I don't remember any of I mean I remember the Smurfs, but now I don't remember.
00:33:23.279 --> 00:33:24.400
Yeah, definitely not.
00:33:24.559 --> 00:33:25.839
I thought I knew the Smurfs.
00:33:26.319 --> 00:33:26.799
Right?
00:33:28.400 --> 00:33:29.599
Apparently not.
00:33:30.079 --> 00:33:35.839
He has a seemingly endless library of spellbooks, potions, and gimmicks for his life's passion.
00:33:36.079 --> 00:33:45.119
However, no matter how elaborate Gargamel's plan, they invariably end in failure, causing him to spell his catchphrase, I hate smurfs.
00:33:45.599 --> 00:33:46.640
I'm gonna be saying that.
00:33:46.799 --> 00:33:48.559
That's gonna be my catchphrase.
00:33:48.880 --> 00:33:53.440
Sometimes he will also throw a temper tantrum, uh, howling in grief.
00:33:53.599 --> 00:33:59.440
One rhetorical question he asks himself is I am brave and strong, and they are puny and weak.
00:33:59.519 --> 00:34:03.680
And why can't I defeat those miserable, vile little smurfs?
00:34:04.079 --> 00:34:04.880
Fuckers.
00:34:06.240 --> 00:34:06.880
You know what?
00:34:07.039 --> 00:34:10.159
I really am starting to come on to the gargamel side.
00:34:10.559 --> 00:34:12.960
Because you know what else is fucking annoying about the smurfs?
00:34:13.440 --> 00:34:16.559
Everything is smurf this and smurf that, and they're smurfing over here.
00:34:16.880 --> 00:34:17.840
They're smurfastic.
00:34:18.000 --> 00:34:19.599
Yeah, they're feeling smurfy.
00:34:19.760 --> 00:34:20.400
Yeah.
00:34:20.800 --> 00:34:21.840
Stop it.
00:34:24.000 --> 00:34:24.239
Stop.
00:34:24.400 --> 00:34:26.000
Don't do like the grouch.
00:34:26.320 --> 00:34:26.719
I do.
00:34:26.880 --> 00:34:30.079
I'm very, I'm very this is good times.
00:34:30.239 --> 00:34:32.960
Uh and now that I'm older, I get it.
00:34:33.280 --> 00:34:39.840
However, his defeats never discourage him, and he always vows, I'll get you if it's the last thing I do.
00:34:40.159 --> 00:34:46.320
See, we could make a grown-up version of the Smurfs now for Gen X, and he could just be like, You fuckers gotta go.
00:34:46.960 --> 00:34:48.400
It could be all violent shit.
00:34:48.559 --> 00:34:48.960
Yeah.
00:34:52.000 --> 00:34:55.280
Oh, I didn't put enough grouches on here because I only have one more.
00:34:55.519 --> 00:34:56.719
But you might want to do your.
00:34:56.880 --> 00:34:57.840
Oh yeah.
00:35:00.480 --> 00:35:04.559
Because I repeat your life, we're lucky through her teenage bike.
00:35:10.159 --> 00:35:12.800
All right, uh this week in Nicole's diary.
00:35:12.880 --> 00:35:16.960
Um, we are at December 23rd.
00:35:17.199 --> 00:35:19.280
Oh, 1987.
00:35:19.599 --> 00:35:20.960
Christmas Eve Eve.
00:35:21.920 --> 00:35:24.559
Yeah, and this is related to it.
00:35:26.159 --> 00:35:28.079
I got through off the bus.
00:35:29.840 --> 00:35:34.800
I did say through for spraying some hairspray in some boys' eyes.
00:35:35.119 --> 00:35:36.480
You had a real issue.
00:35:36.719 --> 00:35:37.360
I did.
00:35:37.760 --> 00:35:44.719
And mommy thinks she is punishing me by not letting me go to school tomorrow just because I'll miss a Spanish fiesta.
00:35:44.880 --> 00:35:45.840
Suits me fine.
00:35:45.920 --> 00:35:48.960
I get Christmas break vacation off a day early.
00:35:50.320 --> 00:35:51.039
Like that.
00:35:51.360 --> 00:35:53.360
I've always seen the silver lining.
00:35:54.320 --> 00:35:56.000
So I I remember this.
00:35:56.079 --> 00:35:58.400
Um don't threaten me with a good time.
00:35:58.639 --> 00:36:05.280
It was actually one of the kids who was a big name in the town I grew up in and that carried a lot of weight where we were.
00:36:05.440 --> 00:36:05.840
I get it.
00:36:06.000 --> 00:36:14.480
And we were on the school bus, and he kept putting his hands where they shouldn't go on me, and I got sick of it, and he wouldn't stop grabbing me.
00:36:14.960 --> 00:36:19.280
So I grabbed the big old can of um Aquanette.
00:36:19.519 --> 00:36:24.159
Aquanette out of my bag, and I sprayed him in the eyes.
00:36:24.400 --> 00:36:27.599
And then I got suspended off the bus and he did not.
00:36:27.840 --> 00:36:34.639
Well, it's funny because my sister punched a kid in the face because he was making fun of her little buddy, her little friend.
00:36:34.719 --> 00:36:43.360
He was bullying, and she punched him in the face, and he was also a very, very big name in Ocean City.
00:36:43.519 --> 00:36:43.840
Uh-huh.
00:36:44.079 --> 00:36:46.719
But because he was embarrassed, she broke his nose.
00:36:47.039 --> 00:36:47.360
Wow.
00:36:47.519 --> 00:36:47.840
Yeah.
00:36:48.000 --> 00:37:00.880
But because he was embarrassed that it was a girl, he didn't tell anybody who it was because when my sister got home, the bus driver loved my sister and I because he was black.
00:37:02.079 --> 00:37:04.159
He was black and we did not have a problem with that.
00:37:04.320 --> 00:37:04.480
Right.
00:37:04.800 --> 00:37:06.480
Unlike everybody else that went to my school.
00:37:06.719 --> 00:37:06.880
Right.
00:37:07.119 --> 00:37:07.920
I shouldn't say that.
00:37:08.000 --> 00:37:08.880
Not everybody had that.
00:37:08.960 --> 00:37:09.519
Whatever, you get it.
00:37:09.760 --> 00:37:10.400
A lot of them.
00:37:10.639 --> 00:37:16.480
Um so he didn't say anything either, probably because this kid was a jackass.
00:37:16.960 --> 00:37:30.079
And when my sister got home from school and said I punched him in the face, my mom was like, of all the kids to punch in the face.
00:37:31.280 --> 00:37:32.480
Had to be that one.
00:37:32.719 --> 00:37:34.079
Had to be that one.
00:37:34.960 --> 00:37:40.559
And but he was embarrassed it was a girl, so he didn't tell anybody, and then he started coming to school in a limo.
00:37:42.880 --> 00:37:44.239
Champagne problems.
00:37:44.480 --> 00:37:48.639
No more bus rides for him because he gets beat up by girls.
00:37:49.599 --> 00:37:52.000
So I have my um suspension slip.
00:37:52.159 --> 00:37:53.280
I can't believe you have that.
00:37:53.599 --> 00:37:59.039
It's the yellow carbon copy, like when it was three different sheets.
00:37:59.199 --> 00:38:01.840
Um, so Milford Middle School.
00:38:02.000 --> 00:38:06.320
Um principal Gary Annette is the one that signed it.
00:38:06.880 --> 00:38:11.039
Um your child, Nicole Egler, has been suspended.
00:38:11.119 --> 00:38:12.480
And then it says bus only.
00:38:13.360 --> 00:38:14.320
Well, look, all right.
00:38:14.400 --> 00:38:17.519
First it says your child, fill in the blank, Nicole Egler.
00:38:18.079 --> 00:38:21.840
Has been the options are suspended slash paddled.
00:38:24.480 --> 00:38:26.159
So suspended is circled.
00:38:26.239 --> 00:38:27.360
It says bus only.
00:38:28.719 --> 00:38:30.400
See, people, it was real.
00:38:31.440 --> 00:38:39.039
Uh, from Milford Middle School for the following reason spraying hairspray into a student's eyes.
00:38:39.280 --> 00:38:44.800
The length of the suspension is a maximum of one day, affected 122386.
00:38:45.679 --> 00:38:52.480
Um, a conference is requested to determine methods to correct the correct the behavior.
00:38:54.639 --> 00:39:04.800
Under no conditions should your child be in the vicinity of the middle school during a period of suspension, as this may lead to further disciplinary action.
00:39:05.199 --> 00:39:06.239
That's hilarious.
00:39:06.559 --> 00:39:08.239
It's really harsh for a middle schooler.
00:39:08.400 --> 00:39:10.159
You rabble rouser.
00:39:11.599 --> 00:39:15.440
The funny thing is, I was a really good kid because I was so scared of getting in trouble.
00:39:15.599 --> 00:39:18.719
But yeah, that one I mean, justice comes to justice.
00:39:18.800 --> 00:39:20.079
Like you gotta do what you gotta do.
00:39:20.480 --> 00:39:20.880
Exactly.
00:39:21.039 --> 00:39:23.679
Maybe he got hit by a mac chuck when he grew up or something.
00:39:24.000 --> 00:39:26.320
Or he's in jail for assault.
00:39:26.559 --> 00:39:27.679
Rapist or raping.
00:39:28.079 --> 00:39:31.119
Maybe he went to um Cornell.
00:39:33.199 --> 00:39:35.119
Maybe he had a kid that went to Cornell.
00:39:35.760 --> 00:39:36.480
Probably.
00:39:37.679 --> 00:39:41.119
That just infuriates me so much.
00:39:41.360 --> 00:39:41.599
Okay.
00:39:41.920 --> 00:39:46.079
I was gonna say something else, but I don't remember what it was now about you being a badass.
00:39:47.679 --> 00:39:49.440
Damn, I'm sorry you forgot.
00:39:49.519 --> 00:39:51.519
I'm not a badass very often.
00:39:53.599 --> 00:39:54.719
I don't remember.
00:39:55.440 --> 00:39:56.000
All right.
00:39:56.719 --> 00:39:58.320
Here's our final grouch.
00:39:58.559 --> 00:40:00.719
The final grouch.
00:40:02.159 --> 00:40:02.559
Mr.
00:40:02.800 --> 00:40:03.119
T.
00:40:03.599 --> 00:40:03.920
Oh.
00:40:04.800 --> 00:40:07.440
I just watched, he's got a documentary or something on.
00:40:07.760 --> 00:40:08.239
Does he?
00:40:08.960 --> 00:40:10.400
Oh, I think I did see that.
00:40:11.119 --> 00:40:12.159
Did you you watched it?
00:40:12.320 --> 00:40:12.480
Yeah.
00:40:12.639 --> 00:40:13.119
Is it good?
00:40:13.280 --> 00:40:13.519
Yeah.
00:40:13.599 --> 00:40:13.760
Okay.
00:40:14.000 --> 00:40:20.559
Because remember, I said I then I started looking for if you can download the GPS.
00:40:20.719 --> 00:40:21.280
You can't.
00:40:21.360 --> 00:40:22.559
It's very disappointing.
00:40:22.719 --> 00:40:25.199
It was only for the um Garmin.
00:40:25.280 --> 00:40:26.639
No, it wasn't Garmin.
00:40:28.000 --> 00:40:29.360
Whatever the other company was.
00:40:29.440 --> 00:40:30.639
I didn't have the Garmin one.
00:40:31.599 --> 00:40:36.400
I had the lesser comp, but it was only done for that, and they don't even have it online.
00:40:37.280 --> 00:40:37.840
I know.
00:40:38.079 --> 00:40:38.880
That's a damn shame.
00:40:39.119 --> 00:40:40.639
We just have to live in our memories for that.
00:40:40.800 --> 00:40:42.079
I'll tell you, I would still use it.
00:40:42.159 --> 00:40:43.280
That was fucking hilarious.
00:40:43.440 --> 00:40:45.599
It was by far the best one I've ever heard.
00:40:45.920 --> 00:40:46.559
Really was.
00:40:47.840 --> 00:40:48.480
All right.
00:40:49.360 --> 00:40:53.039
Um Lawrence Tarot.
00:40:53.679 --> 00:40:55.199
Is that how you say his last name?
00:40:55.360 --> 00:40:56.719
It's for it looks like it's French.
00:40:56.880 --> 00:40:57.360
I don't remember.
00:40:57.599 --> 00:41:01.199
It looks like Trudeau, but it's T-U-R-E-A-U-D.
00:41:02.320 --> 00:41:04.000
Trua True, I guess.
00:41:04.159 --> 00:41:04.320
Okay.
00:41:04.400 --> 00:41:05.519
We're just gonna con Mr.
00:41:05.599 --> 00:41:05.679
T.
00:41:05.920 --> 00:41:06.079
Mr.
00:41:06.239 --> 00:41:06.400
T.
00:41:06.559 --> 00:41:07.119
Yep.
00:41:07.360 --> 00:41:11.280
Uh he was born May 21st, 1952.
00:41:11.840 --> 00:41:15.360
Um, he's an American actor and retired professional wrestler.
00:41:15.519 --> 00:41:17.199
He is known for his roles as B.A.
00:41:17.280 --> 00:41:24.960
Barackas in the 1980s television series The A-Team and as boxer Klubber Lang in the 1982 film Rocky III.
00:41:25.440 --> 00:41:26.559
That's where he got his start.
00:41:27.440 --> 00:41:37.599
It was crazy because he was supposed to wrestle or something, and they fired him because he would he went to do the movie and he was supposed to come.
00:41:37.760 --> 00:41:41.840
So he had to I think there's somewhere down in here too.
00:41:42.000 --> 00:41:45.280
I think not about that, but I think there's more about the Rocky thing later.
00:41:45.519 --> 00:41:45.840
I don't know.
00:41:45.920 --> 00:41:47.360
I read a lot and I cut a lot.
00:41:47.440 --> 00:41:48.880
Apparently, I cut too much.
00:41:49.119 --> 00:42:03.039
Um he's also known for his distinctive hairstyle inspired by Mandinka Warriors in West Africa, his copious gold jewelry, his tough guy persona, and his catchphrase, I pity the fool.
00:42:04.400 --> 00:42:11.440
First uttered as Clubber Lang in Rocky III, then turned into a trademark used in slogans or titles.
00:42:12.559 --> 00:42:13.840
In 1980, Mr.
00:42:14.000 --> 00:42:22.559
T was spotted by Sylvester Stallone, here we go, while taking part in NBC's uh America's Toughest Bouncer competition.
00:42:22.880 --> 00:42:23.280
That's right.
00:42:23.599 --> 00:42:26.079
I didn't know they had reality TV shows like that back then.
00:42:26.320 --> 00:42:26.639
Yeah.
00:42:27.440 --> 00:42:31.280
Uh a segment of NBC's games people play.
00:42:31.440 --> 00:42:36.559
Although his role in Rocky III was originally intended as just a few lines, Mr.
00:42:36.719 --> 00:42:40.800
T was eventually cast as Club or Lang and the primary antagonist.
00:42:40.960 --> 00:42:44.320
His catchphrase, a pity fool, comes from the film.
00:42:44.480 --> 00:42:50.719
When asked if he hates Rocky, Lang replies, No, I don't hate Balboa, but a pity fool.
00:42:51.920 --> 00:42:56.079
The documentary does go into the whole and and they talk to Sylvester Stallone too.
00:42:56.159 --> 00:42:59.679
And it's well, mostly because I love Rocky.
00:42:59.760 --> 00:43:00.400
So yeah.
00:43:00.559 --> 00:43:01.599
It's a good, it's a good document.
00:43:01.760 --> 00:43:02.719
I don't remember what it was called.
00:43:02.960 --> 00:43:03.920
Yeah, I'm gonna look it up.
00:43:04.000 --> 00:43:07.599
I I feel like I remember seeing it somewhere now, but yeah.
00:43:07.920 --> 00:43:10.000
I need to watch the Jay-Z documentary.
00:43:10.159 --> 00:43:12.320
He's very complimentary of Sylvester Stallone.
00:43:12.639 --> 00:43:14.559
I think that's who gave him his I bet.
00:43:15.039 --> 00:43:19.360
Because I think they didn't want him, and Sylvester Stallone was like, we totally gotta go with that guy.
00:43:19.519 --> 00:43:24.000
See, I thought that was I must have read that and cut it out of here because I remember seeing that.
00:43:24.079 --> 00:43:27.440
That like he Sylvester Stallone really pushed for Mr.
00:43:27.519 --> 00:43:27.840
TW.
00:43:28.239 --> 00:43:29.039
He pushed for everything.
00:43:29.199 --> 00:43:29.519
Yeah.
00:43:29.920 --> 00:43:32.000
I can't wait for that movie to come out next month.
00:43:32.159 --> 00:43:32.639
Yes.
00:43:32.960 --> 00:43:33.599
I know.
00:43:35.679 --> 00:43:38.880
In the A-Team, he played Sergeant Bosco B.A.
00:43:38.960 --> 00:43:45.920
Barackis, an ex army commando, on the run with three other members of the United States government for a crime they didn't commit.
00:43:46.400 --> 00:43:48.639
As well as the team's tough guy, B.A.
00:43:48.800 --> 00:43:51.440
was a mechanical genius, but afraid of flying.
00:43:51.599 --> 00:43:54.719
When asked at a press conference whether he was as stupid as B.A.
00:43:54.800 --> 00:43:55.599
Barackus, Mr.
00:43:55.679 --> 00:43:58.719
T observed quietly, it takes a smart guy to play dumb.
00:43:58.960 --> 00:43:59.599
This is true.
00:44:00.400 --> 00:44:02.960
So they used to poison his milk, right?
00:44:03.119 --> 00:44:04.159
Or I don't drug his milk.
00:44:04.239 --> 00:44:04.639
I don't remember.
00:44:04.719 --> 00:44:07.440
You didn't watch the oh man, we were avid.
00:44:07.599 --> 00:44:19.920
I think they always gave him a glass of milk and they had put a sleep aid in it, and then he'd drink the milk and he'd fall asleep and they'd put him in whatever they had to fly in, and then they'd get him to where they'd be like, but like every time he fell for it.
00:44:20.639 --> 00:44:29.599
I gotta see what was on at the same time as it, because I feel like whatever I was The A-Team was a really good show.
00:44:30.559 --> 00:44:34.000
Um the series was a major hit, and B.A.
00:44:34.079 --> 00:44:39.760
Barackis in particular quickly became a cult character and the de facto star of the show.
00:44:40.159 --> 00:44:45.119
Reportedly sparking tensions with seasoned actor George Pipard, although Mr.
00:44:45.199 --> 00:44:48.239
T always maintained that these were unfounded rumors.
00:44:48.480 --> 00:44:48.719
Mr.
00:44:48.960 --> 00:44:53.519
T was reported to be earning$80,000 a week for his role on the A team.
00:44:53.599 --> 00:44:54.880
That was a lot of money back then.
00:44:55.119 --> 00:44:56.480
$80,000 a week?
00:44:57.360 --> 00:44:57.760
Yeah.
00:44:58.000 --> 00:44:58.639
It's a lot.
00:44:58.880 --> 00:44:59.119
It is.
00:44:59.360 --> 00:45:03.599
Did you find out what's uh It was on a Tuesday, it was on Tuesday at 8.
00:45:04.000 --> 00:45:12.880
And it doesn't say there was anything really that was up against it, but Tuesday nights there was one show, but it didn't come on until 10.
00:45:13.519 --> 00:45:14.800
9 or 10.
00:45:15.039 --> 00:45:17.039
And I did not miss it.
00:45:17.119 --> 00:45:18.639
And that was moonlighting.
00:45:18.960 --> 00:45:19.280
Oh.
00:45:20.320 --> 00:45:21.920
I wasn't allowed to watch moonlighting.
00:45:22.000 --> 00:45:23.280
I did not miss it.
00:45:23.840 --> 00:45:25.280
There was no missing moonlighting.
00:45:25.519 --> 00:45:30.000
Maybe you were napping at eight, so you'd be able to stay up and watch moonlighting.
00:45:30.159 --> 00:45:33.360
Because that was like the one I did not miss moonlighting.
00:45:34.079 --> 00:45:36.639
Yeah, I wish I would have watched that, but I wasn't allowed to watch it.
00:45:37.519 --> 00:45:38.960
Yeah, well, I'm sure.
00:45:41.119 --> 00:45:41.519
Mr.
00:45:41.679 --> 00:45:46.800
T was born in Chicago, Illinois, the youngest son of a family with 12 children.
00:45:47.039 --> 00:45:54.159
He and his four sisters and seven brothers grew up in a three-room apartment in the Robert Taylor Homes public housing.
00:45:54.400 --> 00:45:59.119
His father, Nathaniel T, was a minister.
00:45:59.679 --> 00:46:05.599
After his father left, when Lawrence was five years old, he shortened his name to Lawrence Tarot.
00:46:06.159 --> 00:46:09.920
In 1970, he legally changed his name to T.
00:46:10.320 --> 00:46:11.280
His new name, Mr.
00:46:11.440 --> 00:46:16.880
T, was based upon his childhood impressions regarding the lack of respect from white people for his family.
00:46:17.199 --> 00:46:25.039
T recalls, I think about my father being called boy, my uncle being called boy, my brother coming back from Vietnam and being called boy.
00:46:25.199 --> 00:46:30.559
So I questioned myself, what does a black man have to do before he's given respect as a man?
00:46:30.719 --> 00:46:38.639
So when I was 18 years old, when I was old enough to fight and die for my country, old enough to drink, old enough to vote, I said I was old enough to be called a man.
00:46:38.800 --> 00:46:40.880
I self-ordained myself Mr.
00:46:41.119 --> 00:46:41.280
T.
00:46:41.440 --> 00:46:45.119
So the first word out of everybody's mouth is Mr.
00:46:45.760 --> 00:46:46.320
Gone.
00:46:46.480 --> 00:46:47.199
I love it.
00:46:47.519 --> 00:46:48.880
Drop the mic.
00:46:50.400 --> 00:46:52.400
So that's all my grouches.
00:46:52.800 --> 00:46:53.679
I love it.
00:46:54.559 --> 00:46:55.280
I love it.
00:46:55.440 --> 00:46:57.920
And I'm mad that I could have, I would have had time for more.
00:46:58.000 --> 00:46:59.039
I felt like it was a lot.
00:46:59.119 --> 00:47:01.119
But I got one out of the top of my head.
00:47:01.199 --> 00:47:01.760
Yeah, go for it.
00:47:02.079 --> 00:47:02.880
Garfield.
00:47:03.119 --> 00:47:03.679
Yeah.
00:47:04.000 --> 00:47:05.280
He was quite grouchy.
00:47:05.519 --> 00:47:06.400
Very grouchy.
00:47:06.639 --> 00:47:07.360
Just upset.
00:47:07.519 --> 00:47:08.960
Because he was always hungry.
00:47:09.360 --> 00:47:10.559
He just wanted those ones.
00:47:10.800 --> 00:47:12.559
But why did he have to torture the dog?
00:47:12.880 --> 00:47:14.159
Odie was annoying.
00:47:14.400 --> 00:47:16.159
Okay, but Odie was a dog.
00:47:16.480 --> 00:47:17.679
An annoying dog.
00:47:18.000 --> 00:47:18.320
Okay.
00:47:18.960 --> 00:47:22.000
But you got a cat person and a dog person.
00:47:22.079 --> 00:47:22.320
Yeah.
00:47:22.559 --> 00:47:23.360
Disputing this.
00:47:23.760 --> 00:47:25.119
We're never gonna come to a conclusion.
00:47:25.360 --> 00:47:25.840
We're never.
00:47:26.480 --> 00:47:27.440
We're never gonna know.
00:47:27.599 --> 00:47:30.159
I'm I can't see Garfield's side on that one.
00:47:30.719 --> 00:47:35.920
I mean, I like lasagna, but yeah.
00:47:36.079 --> 00:47:38.239
What were some of the other ones that I saw?
00:47:38.800 --> 00:47:39.840
Dang it.
00:47:40.639 --> 00:47:42.000
My brain's fried today.
00:47:42.239 --> 00:47:42.480
I know.
00:47:42.559 --> 00:47:43.760
I'm trying to think of one out.
00:47:44.000 --> 00:47:49.360
Oh and then one two more, technically.
00:47:49.920 --> 00:47:52.719
Statler and Waldorf from The Muppet.
00:47:54.000 --> 00:47:57.679
First of all, I love The Muppets.
00:47:58.320 --> 00:47:59.599
Very much so, yeah.
00:48:00.719 --> 00:48:07.360
Um the first movie I ever saw was the Muppet movie in theaters.
00:48:07.519 --> 00:48:08.639
And my dad took me.
00:48:08.960 --> 00:48:10.320
And those movies are so good.
00:48:10.880 --> 00:48:11.519
Yes.
00:48:12.639 --> 00:48:16.159
My dad is particularly fond of animal.
00:48:17.440 --> 00:48:18.159
That makes sense.
00:48:18.400 --> 00:48:18.639
Yeah.
00:48:18.880 --> 00:48:22.880
And we I got him for Christmas a couple years ago.
00:48:23.199 --> 00:48:29.280
It is a thing that goes over your helmet that is animal.
00:48:31.280 --> 00:48:35.760
But he couldn't wear it because it was impeding his eyes or something.
00:48:36.079 --> 00:48:37.199
I don't know.
00:48:37.519 --> 00:48:40.880
But those two were fucking fantastic.
00:48:41.199 --> 00:48:43.119
They like made the show.
00:48:43.440 --> 00:48:44.960
It was great.
00:48:45.280 --> 00:48:51.840
They did a revamp and they they ran a Muppet show like this with Sabrina Carpenter.
00:48:51.920 --> 00:48:52.880
I saw it.
00:48:53.920 --> 00:48:54.800
I didn't like it.
00:48:55.039 --> 00:48:55.679
I didn't either.
00:48:57.599 --> 00:48:58.800
Didn't made me sad.
00:48:59.519 --> 00:49:00.000
Yeah.
00:49:00.239 --> 00:49:04.159
Don't tell me you're giving me the Muppets and then half the show is Sabrina Carpenter.
00:49:04.320 --> 00:49:06.079
And it was only like half an hour long.
00:49:06.159 --> 00:49:06.320
Yeah.
00:49:07.119 --> 00:49:08.239
And it wasn't very Muppety.
00:49:08.719 --> 00:49:09.360
What the hell was that?
00:49:09.440 --> 00:49:09.679
Yeah.
00:49:09.760 --> 00:49:11.440
Where where was Gonzo and the chicken?
00:49:12.239 --> 00:49:13.519
Yeah, like I don't know.
00:49:13.679 --> 00:49:14.480
I don't know.
00:49:14.800 --> 00:49:16.159
That made me grumpy.
00:49:16.400 --> 00:49:17.039
Yeah.
00:49:17.440 --> 00:49:17.840
Yeah.
00:49:18.320 --> 00:49:18.639
Yeah.
00:49:18.719 --> 00:49:23.760
I I just uh the mup, what a great concept the Muppets were.
00:49:23.920 --> 00:49:24.320
Yes.
00:49:24.639 --> 00:49:26.400
Jim Henson is a genius.
00:49:26.639 --> 00:49:27.360
I mean for real.
00:49:27.440 --> 00:49:27.840
Like those.
00:49:29.599 --> 00:49:30.159
Yeah.
00:49:30.400 --> 00:49:31.039
Yep.
00:49:31.599 --> 00:49:34.079
But we did grow up with a lot of grouchy characters.
00:49:34.239 --> 00:49:34.559
We did.
00:49:34.800 --> 00:49:35.679
We really did.
00:49:36.159 --> 00:49:37.599
Because we are grouchy.
00:49:37.840 --> 00:49:38.400
Yeah.
00:49:38.639 --> 00:49:39.840
Maybe that's why.
00:49:41.280 --> 00:49:43.599
Maybe that's why it's what we were exposed to.
00:49:44.000 --> 00:49:45.599
Like, well, that's what you're supposed to be.
00:49:45.920 --> 00:49:50.719
I'm telling you, I think as an adult, you go back and watch all these and you'd be like, mm, it makes sense.
00:49:50.880 --> 00:49:51.360
Yeah.
00:49:51.920 --> 00:49:53.440
Maybe not Archie Bunker.
00:49:53.760 --> 00:49:54.079
No.
00:49:54.559 --> 00:49:59.119
No, there was there was quite a bit I had to cut out of that one because I didn't want to make it about that.
00:49:59.440 --> 00:50:01.840
But as I was reading it, I was like, Yeah.
00:50:02.079 --> 00:50:03.679
That's pretty bad.
00:50:05.039 --> 00:50:07.679
But but he's the number one TV character of all time.
00:50:07.920 --> 00:50:08.960
Well apparently.
00:50:09.599 --> 00:50:21.440
Well, because I think it was like a I mean, Rob Reiner did the show, so it's not like it was like I think it was just intended to show that's outgoing.
00:50:21.519 --> 00:50:24.960
Like that's not who we know.
00:50:25.039 --> 00:50:32.079
And and I I think when he changed to Archie Bunker's place, he was nicer.
00:50:33.119 --> 00:50:35.119
Because I remember there being like a little kid.
00:50:36.079 --> 00:50:37.360
A little girl, maybe.
00:50:38.400 --> 00:50:38.800
Yeah.
00:50:39.280 --> 00:50:40.800
Maybe Meathead had a kid.
00:50:41.119 --> 00:50:42.320
No, I don't think so.
00:50:42.480 --> 00:50:44.000
I think she was just some rando.
00:50:45.599 --> 00:50:45.760
Okay.
00:50:46.239 --> 00:50:47.360
Like Punky Brewster.
00:50:47.599 --> 00:50:48.639
Maybe like a neighbor or something.
00:50:48.800 --> 00:50:50.960
A kid that came over him or something.
00:50:51.280 --> 00:50:53.119
I I don't remember now, but yeah.
00:50:53.440 --> 00:50:55.199
Punk what another wild concept.
00:50:55.360 --> 00:50:56.400
Punky Brewster.
00:51:02.400 --> 00:51:03.840
Orphans everywhere.
00:51:04.320 --> 00:51:06.400
Do they even have orphanages anymore?
00:51:06.559 --> 00:51:06.960
Yes.
00:51:07.199 --> 00:51:07.679
Do they?
00:51:07.840 --> 00:51:08.400
Yes.
00:51:10.239 --> 00:51:11.280
Where are they?
00:51:12.239 --> 00:51:14.320
Can you just go to one and pick out a kid?
00:51:15.199 --> 00:51:17.280
Uh or are they called something else?
00:51:17.360 --> 00:51:17.519
Like.
00:51:17.840 --> 00:51:24.320
No, I mean, I I I can't speak for sure in America.
00:51:24.960 --> 00:51:26.639
Because I think they just go in the foster system.
00:51:26.800 --> 00:51:40.559
I was gonna say, but around the world, like you'll still hear of like uh missionaries going and building orphanages and stuff for when entire villages get wiped out and little kids are left with literally no one.
00:51:40.880 --> 00:51:41.679
That's crazy.
00:51:41.920 --> 00:51:42.559
Yeah.
00:51:43.760 --> 00:51:44.239
Yeah.
00:51:44.559 --> 00:51:47.119
It's a hard knock life for us.
00:51:49.519 --> 00:51:51.679
Well, thank you for being grouchy.
00:51:51.840 --> 00:51:52.320
You're welcome.
00:51:52.559 --> 00:51:53.519
Coming down to my level.
00:51:53.679 --> 00:51:57.360
Yeah, I couldn't let National Grouch Day coming back.
00:51:57.679 --> 00:51:58.480

00:51:58.639 --> 00:51:58.800
Yeah.
00:51:59.039 --> 00:52:01.599
Now I gotta go back and watch some Smurfs.
00:52:01.840 --> 00:52:02.400

00:52:04.079 --> 00:52:05.360
