 U2 

 0:13 

 Hey, welcome to Dad's, our podcast where a dad can be a dad. Single verse married. Horrible parenting advice. I'm Jesse, here with my good buddy Jimmy. 

 U1

 0:23 

 also known as Roe versus is Wade. Or does our parents call us fruits and greens? How are you doing, Jimmy? 

 U1 

 0:31 

 Not bad. Happy Memorial Day, buddy. 

 U2 

 0:35 

 I wish you a somber Memorial Day as well. Never. I'm just messing with you, man. 

 U1 

 0:43 

 You are talking to seven and Cornhole, champion of the family tournament. Jerry, if you're listening, you can't handle the 

 U2 

 0:55 

 truth. 1s Do you call it cornhole or bags? What's the going term? They 

 U1 

 1:01 

 call it cornhole. 

 U2 

 1:03 

 I think we call it bags here. So great. Lead in, man. Let's talk about hobbies for our kids then versus now. Because back in the day we used to do the lawn darts and somehow a horseshoes. And this basically morphed to bags or cornhole. Times 

 U1 

 1:20 

 changed. Or hillbilly horseshoes. 

 U2 

 1:22 

 I have no idea what that is. 

 U1 

 1:25 

 Maybe they call it something else. Where your pipes? Maybe pipes where you're at. What they do is they take two balls with a robot and there's three tiers of 

 U2 

 1:36 

 yeah, so I did not know what that was called, but I do know what you're talking about. So then 

 U1 

 1:43 

 versus now, hobbies, 

 U2 

 1:45 

 ma'am. We're going to talk about hobbies Webster's dictionary because I got in this argument yesterday. What the hobby you need? Sports. It is an activity done regularly for one's pleasure where you devote time for that said pleasure. 

 U1 

 2:01 

 Does jerking off count 

 U2 

 2:03 

 if you devote time to it your hobby? Yes, it does. There's a hobby for all you other single dads, even married dads. 

 U1 

 2:12 

 You got a hobby you didn't even know about. 

 U2 

 2:14 

 Yeah, I wouldn't call it a sport. 2s Yeah. At least one you're not good at all, right? 1s Yeah, you wouldn't know. So hobbies now versus then. So new phenomenon, watching my kids grow up. YouTube. Yeah. And they do the YouTube, whereas we watch cartoons. Saturday morning cartoons. Your kid watch YouTube? 

 U1 

 2:37 

 Yeah, he would have. Oh, man, I can't even because it's been a while, he hasn't really been on the YouTube, but when I would say from four to probably eight, he would watch man, I can't remember the name of this, but it was three kids and a dad, and he watched them open toys. So I can tell you which one that is because I did a quick Google search and the top five YouTubers today, and what you just explained was number two on the list. Number one. Preston I don't know you. May or may. Is Preston number 

 U2 

 3:13 

 one? Your guess? That was my no. Preston no. This one is Mr. Beast. Have you heard of him? 

 U1 

 3:20 

 No. My son has mentioned Mr. Beast quite a few times, but I do not remember seeing him watch Mr. Beast. But when he was here, he could only watch YouTube on days I watched football. So that was Sundays. So he would prefer to watch YouTube over NFL football with me on a Sunday. But when he was at his maz, it was free ring. I mean, he could watch YouTube all day. 1s He's? 

 U2 

 3:49 

 He's gonna grow up regretting that. So Mr. Beast gross worth, I don't know what he made last year. $48 million. And this dude is famous for viral challenges. He literally filmed himself counting to 100,000. Took him over 40 hours. He's got billions of views. Can you believe this? Can you imagine being a millionaire? 

 U1 

 4:08 

 Was that straight? 40 hours straight? Or did he take a 

 U2 

 4:11 

 break straight? That's 

 U1 

 4:12 

 ridiculous. Set a Guinness record of some sort? Probably 

 U2 

 4:16 

 not. But that's the kind of nonsense he does. These viral challenges and get a bunch of money. Kids love it, man. 

 U1 

 4:22 

 I'm telling. We missed out on so me and my family had this conversation yesterday, sitting around having a couple adult beverages. Dude, we missed out on so much. Dude, if I had a camera follow our family around, dude, I would have been a millionaire. Our family was filled with characters, but so who was number two? So you got Mr. Beast number one. Like I said, I've never watched him. But my son does reference him. 

 U2 

 4:47 

 This one's. Ryan's world. That 

 U1 

 4:49 

 12 million years. 1s No, that's who I thought was Preston. I thought Ryan was Preston. But Ryan I know that little kid, dude. 

 U2 

 4:59 

 That little kid. So he's twelve now. His parents got in early on YouTube, exploited him and made millions. He's got his old Macy's Day balloon. 

 U1 

 5:09 

 Pray balloon. He would honestly sit there. My son would just sit there and watch him do openings. The guy would get a new toy and boop. Watch it. He'd watch for a half hour. And I'm 

 U2 

 5:20 

 like, yeah. The kid never played with the toy. He opened it. There you go. That was it. Oh, my gosh. Yeah. Parents making millions off of that. Number three. PewDiePie. The name alone is ridiculous. I've 

 U1 

 5:32 

 never ever heard that name or seen it. PewDiePie. 

 U2 

 5:37 

 Yeah, he's gambling. Just plays game. Oh, that's boy. Yeah, he's from Sweet boy. He's a man from Sweden playing video 

 U1 

 5:43 

 games. I was kind of chalking that up with boo. Boo kitty fuck. 

 U2 

 5:49 

 Hey, I don't I don't want to know what they call you in the bedroom, Peter. 

 U1 

 5:53 

 Well no. Who's that pudgy white chick? Oh, God. Baby boo. Boo. 

 U2 

 5:59 

 Boo Boo. No. 

 U1 

 6:01 

 Boo Boo. Honey. Honey Boo boo. That's who I was putting together with that name you just said, which I've never heard of. Oh, man. Well, hey, like I said, my kid Google helps. Number four you're not going to believe this one, straight from Canada himself, Justin Bieber. Wow. 

 U2 

 6:17 

 Just playing his music. Yeah, man, we're talking revenue. Number four, YouTuber in 

 U1 

 6:22 

 the world. That's how he was discovered, was 

 U2 

 6:24 

 on YouTube. Number five was surprising to me. Yeah, exactly. And what? We all get to watch him grow up and become crazy? Hey, now, he looks like the guy who changes my oil. But 

 U1 

 6:34 

 a wealthy oil changer. 

 U2 

 6:36 

 I'm a believer. And, yeah, he's gross. The number five is Blippy. Now, this guy was an Air Force vet. 

 U1 

 6:46 

 It's his kids. Shit. Yeah, no, my son never watched Blippy. But my Jerry's 

 U2 

 6:52 

 kid loved 

 U1 

 6:53 

 Blippy. Just loved it. 1s So I watched it because of 

 U2 

 6:58 

 him. So parents are going to know I've seen it. They're going to learn how to spell Blippy before they spell mom and dad. 

 U1 

 7:05 

 So I heard Blippy got in trouble, though, for touching 

 U2 

 7:08 

 kids. Shut up. 

 U1 

 7:10 

 Yeah, something like that. He got in trouble doing 

 U2 

 7:13 

 I'm going to have to go Google that. 

 U1 

 7:15 

 Here, I'll check while you keep talking. 

 U2 

 7:18 

 So the other big one I keep mixing, apparently, YouTubers Jake Paul and Logan Paul, they're different people. I just mix them up. I was like, and there's a guy who does pranks and now he's a boxer. Whatever. They're both dumb. I think those two probably are. What's wrong with society? Well, 

 U1 

 7:36 

 my thing is, dude, you still haven't said that. The kids that I'm thinking of, they even got toys out at Target, this 

 U2 

 7:44 

 group. Oh, they might be on the list. There's a lot of famous YouTubers. Like, my kid, my youngest, only watches this dude, corey Kenchin. Your real name is Corey Williams. He's from Farmington Hills, man. You're part of the world. My kid tells me he wants to be a YouTuber, and I ask him, you know what a YouTuber side job is? Uber. 

 U1 

 8:03 

 Uber. 2s It. If 

 U2 

 8:07 

 I ever become unemployed, I'm just going to tell people I'm a YouTuber. I think it's gained enough traction to where it sounds believable, like, oh, yeah, really? What do you do? I don't know. Well, do it yourself. Just a little insight here. I'm blippy. In his earlier years, John was no strange to dark comedy, as some of his previous characters include Did, Turd Boy and Underwear Man. Yeah, I guess those 

 U1 

 8:37 

 didn't sell as well. I guess not. I guess he stopped trying to sell his stuff to Perverts and just won't write the kids. All right. What a move. 

 U2 

 8:46 

 Better for the advertisers. 

 U1 

 8:50 

 Yeah, okay. 

 U2 

 8:51 

 But we didn't have YouTube. You know what we did? We did Saturday Morning Cartoon. Yes, we 

 U1 

 8:57 

 did. And you know what? When you sent me this note of, hey, get your favorites, I didn't have to think about it. But in Cure, I was just curious on what was actually started on Saturday mornings. I think every cartoon we watched reruns of started on Saturday mornings. And some of these on the list blew my mind. I was like, that started on Saturday morning. I thought it was just 

 U2 

 9:23 

 rerun. If you think all those cartoons yeah, if you think all those cartoons are syndicated, it might have started in the 70s. It probably did start in Saturday mornings. So let's do top five. I can start off with my number five and then you give me yours. 1s Okay, we haven't discussed this previous, so this could be a surprise to both of us. No. All right, my number five. I'm going to go with the Simpsons. Was that 

 U1 

 9:44 

 a Saturday morning cartoon? 1s No, 1s that was a Sunday night. That was a Sunday night. It didn't start on Saturdays, did it? Okay, I didn't think that through. I didn't think that through 2s because there's a lot of them. They were after school cartoon. It's top five cartoons no matter what. 

 U2 

 10:04 

 Well, because I just looked at my list and I'm thinking, holy cow, only one is on Saturday morning. We're talking. Oh, 

 U1 

 10:10 

 no, I just looked up Strictly Saturday Morning. All right, so I got a list here, like 123-4567. So I have twelve I used to watch. I'll just name them off and then I'll give you my top five ThunderCats. 

 U2 

 10:27 

 Okay. Voltron 

 U1 

 10:29 

 the Looney Tune Show bugs Bunny Ducktails smurfs He Man the Mr. T Cartoon You remember Mr. T cartoon? 

 U2 

 10:39 

 Yeah, mr. T was great because all these weird adventures with a dude with lots of jewelry and at the end of every episode, it gives you some sort of heartfelt life lesson from BA. Barackets himself. Right? 

 U1 

 10:52 

 Then we had Garfield. I love Garfield. Muppet Babies. 2s GI. Joe. 

 U2 

 11:00 

 I'll go with my top five because some of those some of yours are 

 U1 

 11:04 

 in my list. Well, now we can go to top five. I was just reading my list of I jotted down pretty much what I wrote. But let me ask you this. What was the one thing you hated on a Saturday morning when you got up too 

 U2 

 11:17 

 early? Probably having to do my paper out work sucked. Not me. Remember the guy, I think, what was his name? But they would show, I mean, like 1950 episodes of Bugs Money. But Mr. Wizard. Maybe was his name 

 U1 

 11:33 

 that's when you got up way too early on a Saturday? 

 U2 

 11:37 

 Waking up too early Saturday morning, 

 U1 

 11:38 

 getting up too early. There was no cartoons on. It was Mr. Wizard. 

 U2 

 11:42 

 Why do kids wake up so early? Don't they know you can sleep in? 

 U1 

 11:46 

 Dude, I can't sleep. All right, so top five. Let's get our top five. I got them here. I'll give 

 U2 

 11:51 

 you my top five. I also asked my kids what their top three were, and we're like and this will show the generational. All right, number five, simpsons 1s and don't quibble. 1s Number four, what 

 U1 

 12:04 

 do you have for five? Number five I had then muppet babies. I love muppet babies. I don't know why. I just liked it. 

 U2 

 12:12 

 So that was one I'd secretly watch all the time, but I could never tell anyone at school. I watched that because of our age. 

 U1 

 12:19 

 Well, I have a side pot of secret ones I watched that I couldn't share. So I have two here. 

 U2 

 12:28 

 Yeah, I don't care now, but that was one I absolutely watched every single episode of. All right, number four, teenage me ninja turtles. 

 U1 

 12:36 

 That's on the list. That didn't make a top five of mine. I was more of a number four voltron. 

 U2 

 12:43 

 Oh, you're going old school. Because that was older one. Yeah, nice. All right, number three for me, the real ghostbusters 

 U1 

 12:52 

 I watched, it didn't make top five. Number three, I have the smurfs. 

 U2 

 12:59 

 Classic banger. Yeah. You always hear these skits in this day and age and media content. They talk about smurfs all the time. They're like, hey, is it weird? Like, you're in a village of 100 dudes and there's, like, one lady, 2s but they didn't care back in the day? No, there's a lot of things that's weird if you go back and watch them as an adult. 

 U1 

 13:21 

 Yes. And there's a lot of dark comedy in these cartoons that you pick up on. 

 U2 

 13:27 

 Now, they didn't give a shit in the 80s. 

 U1 

 13:32 

 You were shooting yourself with a gun that said bang, but then you would hand it off and give it to someone else. And it didn't go bang. It actually shot them in the head. 

 U2 

 13:42 

 Yeah. Old school looney tunes. You imagine now the parents are like, oh, we can't watch Looney 

 U1 

 13:46 

 Tunes. It'd be nuts. 

 U2 

 13:48 

 All right, we're up to number two now. This is one of my favorites growing up, but if you go back and watch it as an adult, it doesn't age well. And I can explain. Number two for me is He Man 

 U1 

 14:01 

 that is on the list. 

 U2 

 14:05 

 What's your number two? 

 U1 

 14:06 

 ThunderCats. 

 U2 

 14:07 

 Okay, so to me, ThunderCats was an offshoot of 2s actually, that kind of stood by itself. I feel like there's other shows that were offshoot of ThunderCats, though. So He Man, you don't notice things when you're five years old. 1s There's no minorities in this entire cartoon. And then they called themselves the masters of the universe. I'm like, that's not a good look. You literally have a Nazi Iron Cross on his geno form. Like it's in the 80s. They're like, whatever. We don't care. That was a toy first. They tried to make a cartoon out of the toy. Oh, 

 U1 

 14:42 

 the toy came first? 

 U2 

 14:43 

 Oh, yeah. 100%. Really? And then they had to create a show around it. All these cartoons were advertisements for toys, I'm telling you. And they're still bangers, man. Great 

 U1 

 14:52 

 cartoons and great toys. 

 U2 

 14:55 

 So far. Wait, do our do any of our top five even match 

 U1 

 14:59 

 up? Maybe our number one will. 

 U2 

 15:01 

 Number one's got to match up. My number one is GI. Joe. Boom. Same here, buddy. Did it. Same here. Nice. Yeah. They were battling terrorists before I even knew what a terrorist was. Who's your favorite GI. Joe guy? 

 U1 

 15:14 

 It would have to be a toss up. I have three. Okay, I have to go with three. I don't know why, but I really liked 

 U2 

 15:22 

 Outback. I 

 U1 

 15:24 

 don't know why. I just did. I liked wow, 

 U2 

 15:27 

 that's a reach. I would have never guessed that. And then what was Outback known for? 

 U1 

 15:31 

 Being in the outback. Duh. It says it right there in his name. 

 U2 

 15:35 

 I thought that was Racondo. Maybe not. 

 U1 

 15:37 

 No, racondo was jungle. 

 U2 

 15:39 

 Yeah, he was jungle. And they all themed. Everybody had their geographically themed uniforms on at all times. 1s You'd be in the city and blizzard. Or snow job. What kind of name is Snow Job? He's wearing a full ski suit. 

 U1 

 15:54 

 Hey, and then my tie for number one would have to be probably everyone's. 1s Storm shadow, snake eyes and camouflage 

 U2 

 16:06 

 firefly. Okay, those are all bad. I'm with you. Snake eyes. Storm and storm shadow Top two. But it's like then I always have to ask. I'm like I like beachhead shipwreck, but quick kicks. Yeah, I 

 U1 

 16:19 

 like them all. 3s Speaking of hobby, since this is kind of what the show is about, out but going off of this, when I found out my ex wife was pregnant, I started buying up GI. Joes on ebay. And this is before they skyrocketed in price. 

 U2 

 16:39 

 They're expensive now, dude. They're nuts. But so when I found out, I was like, why? I can give him all the GI. Joe. So what we would do as a hobby is we had probably we probably what? We still have the bag. Four or five pound bag of just parts, and we would make our own GI. Joe's. 

 U1 

 16:59 

 Dude, it was so much breaking stuff. They're kit bosch. 1s It. 

 U2 

 17:08 

 I need a guy that's nautical themed, but like the jungle. I don't know. Well, is that like a marine? 

 U1 

 17:15 

 We made quite a few really good ones where I'm actually part of this group on Facebook. It's Kit Bosch. So when you make one, you share it with the GI. Joe community and they rate it. And I'm not going to toot my own horn too, but I got a couple thumbs up on a couple people we made and look out, Hasbro, I'm coming for you. 

 U2 

 17:39 

 At some point. I actually am concerned for how long you're going to stay single. 

 U1 

 17:46 

 Honestly, 

 U2 

 17:48 

 the ladies love all the Kit Bosch. Honestly, really, in their tinder profiles. Only looking for Kit Boshers. 

 U1 

 17:54 

 Honestly, after yesterday, I questioned myself. I was like, there's a single girl here. She was cute. She wasn't like, hey, a ten. I'd put her at a good solid six and a half, maybe a seven for personality, but I just wasn't I don't know, maybe it's because of my aunts. 1s And my cousins and just embarrassing me. It was so embarrassing. Here I am, a 46 year old, single, white, professional male getting called out by my aunt. Hey, Jimmy, come over here. Hey, she's single. Every time I pass one of my aunts, hey, Jimmy, she's single. She's single. Did they want me to be like I would and go home? Professor, your 

 U2 

 18:43 

 leg. You're like, hey, 

 U1 

 18:45 

 Aunt, why is she single? 

 U2 

 18:48 

 She got to listen to this and be pissed like six and a half up your ass with that six and 

 U1 

 18:53 

 a half. I honestly didn't even talk. But, I mean, I'm sitting here driving. I'm like, Why didn't I I mean, she was a cute girl, but I don't know. So 

 U2 

 18:59 

 how's it work for adults? You just ask, hey, man, you want to be Facebook 

 U1 

 19:03 

 friends, right? Hey, 1s you want to change our Facebook status together? 

 U2 

 19:10 

 Are we best friends? Make it official. Oh, my gosh. You got me. Think about the GI. Joe. So I asked my kids. So I had honorable mentions for some cartoons, and this gave me a chance to talk to my kids. Now, I wish you would have asked this girl, hey, what were your favorite cartoons at this barbecue? Because telling you, man, it's good icebreaker. Oh, you want another icebreaker for you? Dating tips from the married guy. All right. Dad jokes. They love it. Ask her how much a penguin 

 U1 

 19:40 

 weighs. Oh, I know this one. 

 U2 

 19:43 

 What is it? Enough to break the ice. Hi, I'm Jim. Okay, it works, man. That can't be any worse than your aunt's clowning on you. Well, if the married guy knows it, that means everybody knows it. I can't use it. I don't give a 

 U1 

 19:58 

 shit. I know you don't, but I'm saying I can't bring that out of the bag of tricks. 

 U2 

 20:03 

 Listen, 1s you got to practice, all right? Honorable mentions on the cartoons back to our day, our hobbies 2s stuff, we devoted time for pleasure. 1s I had Dungeons and Dragons. Gargoyles, ducktails, smurfs and batman. Now, there's a range in time. There there was one summer where they had, like, I think it was 83 every Saturday morning cartoon was all video game themed, and that started me down a dark path of video games. What do you think my wife's favorites were, if you had a 

 U1 

 20:36 

 guess? Well, I'm going to guess probably two of these on my embarrassing list is on her top 

 U2 

 20:41 

 five. She just gave me three, but I'll take it. What do you got? Care Bears. Oh, no. You know what's crazy is all the single ladies at a graduation party I was at yesterday talked about Care Bears, dude, apparently I was huge. I loved Care Bears. What was their slogan? 

 U1 

 20:58 

 Care Bear stare. There 

 U2 

 21:00 

 you go. 1s For a time where I tried to grow my hair long after I retired from the military, I said, I'm hair Bear. Whoa. 

 U1 

 21:08 

 That could have went a different way, but okay, my 

 U2 

 21:12 

 second wait, Care Bears was number one. What was number two? 

 U1 

 21:15 

 Gummy Bears. So 

 U2 

 21:17 

 I have that on a separate list. Okay. The Ventures of Gummy Bears. First off. Okay, sorry. So my wife's favorites number one, Scooby Doo. I loved it. And number two shira. Number three ThunderCats. All three have prominent, strong female characters. Wow. 

 U1 

 21:32 

 Now, I was thinking my little ponies. 

 U2 

 21:36 

 That's what I was expecting. But she's like, no, man, those are my topples. She liked all that 

 U1 

 21:40 

 strawberry shortcake. 

 U2 

 21:42 

 The adult children I forgot about strawberry shortcake. All right, the adult children. 1s Now they start getting to newer cartoons. We listed old ones, right? Oldest son. He says SpongeBob, Pokemon and Avatar. I was like, okay. I've seen a couple of those as adults. 

 U1 

 22:00 

 SpongeBob is the only one. My son's top three adventure Time. Love it. I watch it when he's gone. It's a really good show. 

 U2 

 22:09 

 Then Adventure Time. What's? It 

 U1 

 22:11 

 about time. It's a dog and his boy, or a boy and his dog and boy is Finn, and he's got this dog that can change shapes and stretch. Is 

 U2 

 22:23 

 this different than courage? The cowardly dog. I have no idea who that is. I got to Google that one, too. 

 U1 

 22:29 

 What else he got? Second regular show. That's a dude. It's another one. I love it. I love it. My God. I've never heard of these dude. The regular show has so many 1s 80 references in there. Dude, it's fantastic. I love it. I got to write this down. Oh, yeah. What's his last? Check it out. And number three is another dude. I'll watch it, too. Clarence. Clarence, 1s I'm about to let you go right now and watch me some Clarence. Clarence. 

 U2 

 22:59 

 I've literally never heard of all three of these. But then again, I didn't hear of some of my other kids. Dude, they're good. So I told you. Okay. Oldest son 24. SpongeBob, Pokemon, avatar 

 U1 

 23:10 

 and gumball. 

 U2 

 23:11 

 Gumball. I forgot about gumball. I haven't heard of this either. 

 U1 

 23:15 

 Like anime. All cartoon Network. Okay, so, Cartoon Network, if you're out there, you're listening, and you want some more plugs, hit us up at Dadsrs at Gmail. 

 U2 

 23:27 

 It's Dadsrruspodcast@gmail.com. 

 U1 

 23:30 

 Well, then, Dadsrrus@gmail.com, send forward the shit back to us. 

 U2 

 23:35 

 Dadspodcast@gmail.com. Oh, my gosh. All right. My next son, he was same on the SpongeBob, but he threw out Yugioh and South Park. 

 U1 

 23:46 

 I've heard of the South Park, but who is that, like, a Chinese corner or something? Or is that an offshore of Yogi Bear? 

 U2 

 23:55 

 It's a Chinese version of Yogi Bear. Yugioh. 

 U1 

 24:01 

 It. 2s I 

 U2 

 24:04 

 want to say that's a maybe that's an offshoot of Avatar. A lot of these cartoons copy each other, and I even asked my son's girlfriend, 

 U1 

 24:12 

 is he in the anime? Your son? I'm taking it. I'm like, I'm picturing a lot of anime with these. Okay, 

 U2 

 24:17 

 well, we lived in Asia for quite a while. 2s There's that. So when I say when they like Pokemon, which is Japanese for Pokemon. I get it. 3s We need Yogi the Bear Pokemon card. His powers is theft. 4s My kid's girlfriend. Hey, with me, all my picking basket. I'll keep letting you go on this. We'll drive this home. What's? Yogi's mascot? 

 U1 

 24:52 

 Yogi's mascot. Hey, Boo Boo. 

 U2 

 24:54 

 It's got boo. Boo. Boo Boo. I'm going to give me a picket basket. Was that his name? Boo Boo? 

 U1 

 25:01 

 Boo Boo was his nephew or something? 

 U2 

 25:04 

 I was like, can we coin that? I'll be Yogi. You can be boo. Boo. No. You your yogi. You're Yogi. 

 U1 

 25:12 

 I'm not going to be anyone's Boo Boo. 

 U2 

 25:14 

 I'll be a boo. 

 U1 

 25:16 

 Maybe someone's boo. Boo? Kitty fuck. 1s Okay, here's some more cartoons, man. This one comes from my kid's girlfriend, my future daughter in law, SpongeBob Courage the Cowardly Dog. Never heard of it. I got to have to look into it. And then code name kids Next Door again. I'm too old. I don't know these no. 1s But my youngest son, who's 13, 

 U2 

 25:38 

 he's talking about adult cartoons. He goes, Simpsons, Bob's Burger. So how is my kid, who's 13, and me have the same favorite cartoon, Simpsons. That's how long Simpsons have been around. Bob's Burger. And one piece. And I'm like, one piece. I had to google it. It's anime, which means it's 

 U1 

 25:56 

 yeah, I've never heard of one piece. We got into Bob's Burgers little bit over here. And then there was one episode to where I was like, no, you're a little young for this. So 

 U2 

 26:06 

 what cartoons have you never watched but should if you had to give recommendations, you got any on your wish list? I don't know. No, I've got a 

 U1 

 26:14 

 few. There is one I would like to mention, which I used to love. Do you remember the Hannah Barra Olympics? 

 U2 

 26:22 

 Oh, yeah. There's like an offshoot of, like, Space Ghost or something. I 

 U1 

 26:26 

 don't know. No, it was film nation. The guys film Nation used to make a bunch of cartoons. That was one of them. Yeah. No, it was Hannah Barbero. Hannah Barbero was on. Remember the USA Express on USA Network? It was a train, but it was Grape Ape. You remember grape Ape, right? Oh, 

 U2 

 26:43 

 I do. Yes. 1s They would have the Olympics against Yogi Bear, against The Flintstones, the Jetsons, and they would all have Olympics against it. I used to love it. Yeah. 

 U1 

 26:56 

 But yeah, there's no cartoons that I wish 

 U2 

 26:59 

 have you heard of Silverhawks? 

 U1 

 27:01 

 Yes. I used to have some of their toys. I didn't really get 

 U2 

 27:04 

 in. Never watched it. Wish I did. What about BraveStar? 

 U1 

 27:07 

 Never heard of it. 

 U2 

 27:08 

 Apparently it's a banger. What about but there's not a lot of seasons. 

 U1 

 27:12 

 Did you watch Mask? 

 U2 

 27:14 

 No, but that I heard was 

 U1 

 27:16 

 good. That was good. We 

 U2 

 27:18 

 started aging out of these, I think, when they started coming out. But Dark Wing duck. 

 U1 

 27:22 

 Never got into that. No. 

 U2 

 27:24 

 The adventures of Gummy Bears. Like the littles Those are my two on my secret list. The 

 U1 

 27:29 

 Littles. I remember the 

 U2 

 27:31 

 little I didn't want to tell people I watched it, but I'd watch it. And same with muppet babies. Is it okay to tell people you watch bad Albert Nicosby kids? It. 

 U1 

 27:41 

 I probably watched a couple episodes, but 

 U2 

 27:43 

 nothing. I don't know, with Cosby and his shenanigans, I don't know if that's a thing. 

 U1 

 27:48 

 Well, but that was way 

 U2 

 27:49 

 cartoons changed, man. We grew up with these awesome bangers in the then 90s cartoons that I thought were cool, but I swear to God, I'd rather go, oh, man, eat my own shit before I'd watch these again. Daria. Beavis and Butthead and Ren and Stimpy 1s again in the 90s or, like, early 2000s, like, oh, yeah, these are cool. And I'm like, oh, my God, there's no way but adult cartoons. Now, 1s how old would your son have to be if you'd let him watch Rick and Morty? South park or Archer? 

 U1 

 28:26 

 The only one I really know out of that. I mean, I've heard of all of those, but I've never watched Rick and Morty. I've never watched Archer, so I don't know how advanced they are, okay, but South Park, 

 U2 

 28:38 

 you need to stop 2s right now. Rick and Morty has been out for ten 

 U1 

 28:43 

 years. That I do know, 

 U2 

 28:45 

 quite frankly, the funniest cartoon in the history of mankind, and you're telling me with a straight face right now you have never watched it? 

 U1 

 28:52 

 My face is as great as my boner. 

 U2 

 28:59 

 You're like, I don't know how your kid goes through life. 

 U1 

 29:05 

 You know 

 U2 

 29:06 

 what? I use South Park. Rick and Morty archer I use these cartoons so I don't have to explain the difficult things to my kids that I don't want to get uncomfortable explaining. 1s I guess that speaks to my shitty parenting. Oh, my gosh. Can imagine if Rick and Morty had, like, a bunch of toys, south park toys, like. 1s If if all these were were, like, advertisements for, like, toys, like the whole cartoons were oh, no. Yeah. Not 

 U1 

 29:33 

 a clue, because I've never watched any of them. But yeah, South Park not fully graduates, if ever. 1s I never got into South Park. I don't like it. I never liked it. 2s I thought it was just poorly 1s done. It I mean, from the group. 

 U2 

 29:52 

 You are a crazy person. It is top five shows of all time. It's been around since 97. You're going to tell me with a straight face that Smurfs is awesome and South Park's not? That's what we should do. We should do, like, a March Madness bracket. Like face off with the cartoon. Oh, we could, 

 U1 

 30:12 

 but we got to get a bigger audience for voting on that. 

 U2 

 30:16 

 Fuck it. I just vote not. We got to get a tiebreaker. I don't know. There's some guys on YouTube. Mythical morning. Mythical good morning. Those guys do weird shit like that all the time. People eat it up. Hey, let's see pancakes from Denny's versus IHOP and see which is better. Oh, no, man, I'll 

 U1 

 30:33 

 tell you what. I don't know how growing up we ate Denny's. Their food just dude, I remember years and years and years ago, I stopped in the Denny's for a breakfast. Dude, it's a microwave sausage. It's not even a real sausage. 

 U2 

 30:50 

 Have you tried Waffle House? There's not 

 U1 

 30:52 

 one by me. 

 U2 

 30:54 

 Yeah, you got to be down south. You guys have Coney Islands. You get the best breakfast in the world where I'm stuck with Denny's, IHOP and Cracker Barrel. That's my 

 U1 

 31:03 

 choices. You know what? There's an IHOP. Two minutes for me and we've never been there. I always say, you know what? I'm going to go there. I'm going to take you there for some pancakes. But we never make it. 

 U2 

 31:14 

 Oh, man. Man, that'd be a good weekend treat. You probably like that. You start your own Saturday morning tradition. 

 U1 

 31:21 

 That's right. 

 U2 

 31:22 

 Does Connor do any of these hobbies or anything that you used to do? Like you started with the GI. Joe? Does he collect 

 U1 

 31:28 

 those? Yeah. 2s Honestly, if we ever go live and people can watch what we're doing, I'll give you a tour of all of his. He's got a crap load of GI. Joe's. I mean, we got planes. He's got way more than I did, let's put it that way. And he doesn't play with majority of it. I started packing things away because there was so much and he hasn't even cracked open that pocket yet. But his thing Pokeman. He just got into Pokemon not too long ago. Pokemon? No, 1s Pokemon. 

 U2 

 32:10 

 Pokemon. I told my kids. 1s Tell my kids that Pokemon is a glorified 1s cock fighting. And my kids will fight me when I say that. They're like, no, we establish relationships. There's an emotional response to our Pokemon, dad. They're just not animals. Beast of burden. I'm like, okay. I didn't expect this kind of response. 

 U1 

 32:35 

 So your kids collect? 

 U2 

 32:38 

 So my kids growing up, they did a little bit. Not big collectors, it turned out, 

 U1 

 32:45 

 between with you being in Asia and China, a lot of those China 

 U2 

 32:51 

 whatever, Japan 

 U1 

 32:53 

 whatever, those cards, if they brought them home, are worth tons, dude. So if your kids have any and they want to get rid of them, my son will gladly take them. 

 U2 

 33:04 

 Who knows how many I got just in boxes. But the thing is, they don't collect it as far as investment goes. They just like to have it and show it off. But the biggest thing they kind of latched on from what I used to do was the video games. And I asked him, I was like, have you ever thought about another hobby? 1s My older kids, he goes, no. He goes, at this point in my life, because I devote time for this pleasure anyways, regularly. Just the definition of hobby, he says. More of a coping mechanism. I was like, all right, man, I get hate on you, so it 

 U1 

 33:37 

 makes you happy. Is that his way of saying 1s that's how he copes from when he was younger and you weren't 

 U2 

 33:46 

 around? Could be. It is his bullshit excuse for why I asked him why. He's been up for three straight nights. But I'm just coping. Little world stressful. Yeah, there was a lot of things we did together. Like, I had all boys, so they didn't dress up dolls and do hair and makeup and all that? No, they would turn on Madden, create a character and dress him up. It was a digital doll. 1s Show me your new dress up doll. And he goes, he's nice running back, 

 U1 

 34:13 

 dad. So speaking of collecting of your kids, my son, he started doing this probably a year or two ago. Fun 

 U2 

 34:23 

 Pops. Never heard of it. What? Never heard of the Pops? The fun pops. Oh, the funko. 

 U1 

 34:30 

 Yeah, funkos. 

 U2 

 34:32 

 I have heard of that. The correct nomenclature. 

 U1 

 34:38 

 You got 

 U2 

 34:38 

 your mouth beating this 3s baseball cards. They didn't get into that again. They went into Pokemon. The Funko. So my youngest did, but he would just take them out of the box and put them around. He doesn't want to keep it like a collector's item. Keep him in good shape. He doesn't 

 U1 

 34:59 

 care about that. He doesn't take them out of the boxes. He leaves them right in the yeah, well, 

 U2 

 35:03 

 that tells me Connor is, like, a serious collector. My kids just like, oh, I just want to put it on my bookshelf. Who cares? Book 

 U1 

 35:10 

 it, baby. So 

 U2 

 35:11 

 if you knew what you knew now, like, GI. Joe's was huge for me, and he man, growing up, would you like kids now? They'll buy this stuff, and now they're not opening the boxes. They're like, no, I'm going to keep this for 50 years because my 401K is going to bust. Oh, my God. Sergeant Slaughter. You remember that dude? Yeah, from GI. T. 

 U1 

 35:33 

 Yeah, he was a mail away. He had the mail for him. Yeah. 

 U2 

 35:36 

 And it was hard as hell to get him. And I'd watch this commercial, and this is how dumb you are as a kid. And it shows Flint and Lady J just flying a helicopter through the woods. You're like, okay, cool. And then they just stumble upon Sergeant Slaughter down on the ground fighting a bunch of cobra. Terror. 1s Yeah. And you're like, who's this random guy? Let's go down there and help him. And then they beat up all this is a toy commercial, by the way. And then they beat up all these cobra dudes, and then they're like, hey, buddy, what's your name? No, 

 U1 

 36:06 

 there he is, folks. 

 U2 

 36:07 

 He's like, Sergeant Slaughter. And then he joins the jokes. Can you imagine as an adult watching that? You're like, this is the most ridiculous shit ever. You imagine going to like, a grocery store. You're just there getting shopping. There's a dude looking like Sergeant Slaughter fighting a bunch of 1s random like, oh, let's go help him out. You want to join the Joe's? I don't know, but it was tough, man. I would 

 U1 

 36:28 

 first question my options for grocery stores. Why am I shopping where there's terrorists shopping? Why 

 U2 

 36:37 

 there are terrorists in the middle of the woods? 

 U1 

 36:40 

 What is Sergeant Slaughter? That's where the militia hangs out in the woods. So that's what he was doing. 3s You're thinking way too much into a commercial. 1s I got 

 U2 

 36:55 

 questions. The other one I always wanted that you had to mail away was from the 85 Bears. William. The fridge. 

 U1 

 37:02 

 Refrigerator Perry. Dude, I can put my camera on, and I will show you him right know. 

 U2 

 37:07 

 Oh, no kidding. Was that part of the bag you got of 

 U1 

 37:12 

 dude, I don't know. He has so many dude. I have boxes downstairs still that he hasn't even. 2s Gotten to. 

 U2 

 37:21 

 If I gave that toy to my kid, he's like, Why'd? He got a football for a mace. 

 U1 

 37:28 

 But 1s my youngest didn't want to collect action figures. He collected plushies. I'm like, Why do you want so many stuffed animals? You're getting kind of old. He's done with them now, but well, 

 U2 

 37:42 

 apparently speaking, all the kids got plushies, 

 U1 

 37:45 

 dude. It used to bug me when my son and his friends wanted to play with stuffies. Like stuffies. They're stuffed animals. Stop it with the stuffies. But they'd sit in this room, and they would play stuffed 

 U2 

 38:02 

 animals. You and I, we're in agreement there. We're never in agreement. Right? But we're in agreement there. That made me feel weird that I'm like, that's different. I don't like different. 

 U1 

 38:13 

 I felt weird that he had kids from the neighborhood coming over with bags of stuffies, and then they would accidentally leave a stuffy here, and their parents would yeah, so and so left his Mickey Mouse stuffy over there. Can he come and pick it up? Oh, my gosh. Does Connor have friends that have all the good toys? That's my son. 

 U2 

 38:36 

 Oh, he's the one who's got he's got the collection. He's the good 

 U1 

 38:41 

 he's the guy. He's the go to guy for roadblocks GI. Joe's. 1s Let's see what else, because I'm actually where I'm at. I'm in his playroom and Star Wars and superheroes. 

 U2 

 38:56 

 His playroom is also your Cyber cafepodcastudio? 

 U1 

 39:02 

 That's right. Oh, man. Yeah. Brody is the kid that's got all the cool stuff, I guess, in our neighborhood. But to be honest, all this stuff, he's got it's all my stuff. So his friends are like, whoa, you got an arcade? And they're like, how 

 U2 

 39:20 

 does it work? They don't know how to use an arcade. 1s Where's the headset? How can I talk to players? I'm like, that's not how it works. It's pacman. 

 U1 

 39:29 

 Could you imagine, though, back in the day, how different would our gaming have been, being able to talk to your friends while playing RBI baseball? Well, that's why we're 

 U2 

 39:42 

 excited. Yeah. That's why I used to love the co op games where we could play together in the same room, but now my kid won't go outside because he's been grounded recently. So for punishment, I have to force him to go outside. That's cruel and unusual, apparently. 1s So but now that that's how he he connects with all his friends. It would be insane if we got a chance to do that, right? 

 U1 

 40:07 

 I mean, well, 

 U2 

 40:08 

 we'd be arguing over techno bowl. Like, you can't have Bo Jackson. 

 U1 

 40:14 

 Well, that's the thing now, though, is like now we're all at this age, and the adults, they'll play video game. I don't think even utilize that feature of the new games, honestly. Me, personally, I hate playing online. If I play a game, 

 U2 

 40:35 

 I'd rather play by myself or in person with someone. 

 U1 

 40:39 

 Yeah, but even with that, that's even tough because you try to play John like I tried to play John Madden with my son. Well, my plays are on the damn board. You can see what 

 U2 

 40:51 

 I'm yeah, so I had it set up in my house growing up to where each kid had their own PS Three, and we would go to a private lobby and we would play each other that way. So that way we had separate screens, separate rooms. God, 

 U1 

 41:08 

 like an asshole. Like, who does that anyways? It's cool, but I don't know, they still do it. That's one of those things where my hobbies kind of cross over to become their hobbies. And I talked to a single mom yesterday, and she's like, yeah, my daughter, if it wasn't for YouTube, she wouldn't even listen. She listens to the same music I grew up listening to. That's all they do on YouTube, listen to music. I was like, sweet to. 

 U2 

 41:39 

 My oldest son does that, too. 

 U1 

 41:41 

 Well, actually, 1s I found out through another parent that they were driving down the road, and a Bon Jovi song came, and her daughter started singing it. And the parent looked at her daughter and goes, how do you know this song? And she goes, well, Connor sang karao music class for this song. And I'm like, what the I didn't know that 1s is 

 U2 

 42:10 

 music class has karaoke. 

 U1 

 42:13 

 I don't know if it was a special feature or something, but I don't know. But that's one thing we do. Like today when I was dropping him off to his buddies to go swimming because we got a phone call. Hey, you want to go swimming? It's like, yeah, sure. But then I get there, and this is single dad problems. I'm halfway to this house, right? And the mom's like, oh, shit. I wasn't thinking. I should have invited you to go. She's happily married, two kids. But invite me to her friend's house to go 

 U2 

 42:42 

 swim? That's weird. 

 U1 

 42:44 

 Yeah. So I pull up to the house, and she goes, hey, just go to Target and get you a bathing suit. I'm like, I'm 

 U2 

 42:51 

 good. Like, listen, I got shit to do. I'm calm, important. Thanks for watching my kid. I got to do a podcast. 

 U1 

 43:00 

 But so back to the original story. So we're driving to his buddy's house, and now we were jamming some beats. They boys on oil 

 U2 

 43:06 

 intergalactic. Oh, yeah. Sabotage. I like even the older stuff. Imagine being a Gabriel weenie karaoke do. Two live crew with the class. Thank you, Papa Gucci. 2s Yeah, well, my son last week actually got in trouble because he was erasing something he said and what? He was like, he made a mistake. And the way he was erasing it looked like a dick, I guess. And one of the students were like, Connor, what's that? And the teacher looked over, and it was a dick on a piece of paper. The teacher didn't say anything to me, but my son did. And I was like, well, 

 U1 

 43:49 

 I'm guessing that it resembled a dick but 

 U2 

 43:54 

 tech violation at worst, 

 U1 

 43:56 

 right? She didn't tell me. So whatever. I know you didn't do it on purpose. 

 U2 

 44:01 

 They got the chromebook or no? They do once in a while. Not all the time. This was just plain old paper. So 1s once again, we veered off. We didn't 

 U1 

 44:15 

 really 1s that's what 

 U2 

 44:17 

 we always do. We talked about we started off with hobbies YouTube versus YouTube today versus our kids versus cartoons for us. We talked about some bangers. A lot of nostalgia going on.

 Well, let me ask you this as a married man, Memorial Day, what are you doing the rest of the day? Versus me? And I'll tell mine's very short and simple, but go ahead. Wow. I woke up immediately. I had to pick up some neighbors. We had to go on a fireworks run. We had to stock up this weekend for a fireworks sale for 4 July because we do fireworks as a neighborhood. Then I packed because I got to drive to Chicago tonight. Before I leave, though, I got to go hit up a pool party. Going away party. We've got some neighbors moving out. I'm going to miss them. They're moving to Virginia. I'm like, that is a pretty big day. And then when I get to Chicago, that's the only time I can knock out my get my 10,000 steps a day. And I got to do that. And I got a what's, Monday? Monday. That's the upper body hotel workout. That's my day. Man,
