Poachers. You know I am now an owner of property. Yeah, I've purchased an estate along with the lovely Dr Lindsey Barr.
Eric:You have achieved the impossible.
Matt:Truly I have in this economy.
Eric:Yeah, you've won. You've won millennial monopoly.
Matt:Thank you, thank you. So this is perhaps here. This episode is monumental because I think this will be the last time I am coming to you and our audience from the illustrious Pod Pod, the Pod Pod baby. I think so. I think so Because the only reason I ever came in here in the first place was so Lindsey didn't feel like, you know, she had to not make any noise in our home while he was recording. Just before when we started the show, I was in one bedroom apartment and I just recorded this in the living room. It was awful.
Eric:You scurry off to your little dungeon.
Matt:And now I can scurry off to my little dungeon, and in that dungeon there is a room, because we haven't moved in yet. We're moving next week, and so we've had workers coming in and out and there's been. There's one room. The mud room has this door on it that you can access from the bedroom next to it, right?
Eric:Okay.
Matt:And it has a lock on the door because it's a mud room. The outside door is right next, you know, is also there. So extra security. But here's the deal.
Matt:While I was going through the keys we got when we got the house, I try I was like which one opens this basement door and I found that the answer was none of them. Do. There is no key for this. And we're going to, of course, we're going to have all the, we're going to have a locksmith come in, change all the locks. Of course, but we're having some work done. So we figured, while contractors are there and before anything's there, like why just wait till the strangers are out of the house and then change the locks, right? Well, I guess, in the process of one of these renovations, despite the fact that I know and said, hey, make sure this door doesn't get locked, some idiot closed the door. That's locked and we don't have a key for it. So the mud room is now permanently like locked, like there's no way, we have no way to get in there. And you know, unfortunately the idiot in question was me, but the yeah.
Eric:Now it comes to light.
Matt:So I now have a small corner of my property that is inaccessible to me. Inaccessible to you Now like I said, we're going to call the locksmith. We're going to call the locksmith, but you know like my parents are coming down ahead of the move to like see the house and see what their son threw all this money at.
Eric:And here's the kitchen, and here's the den we don't talk about that one. And here's a lovely. Here's our locked room.
Matt:Yes, exactly, and I didn't want that. So.
Eric:I. Here's our secret mud room.
Matt:I did the only, thing, I think you're your property owner. You have a house that you own. I own a house, yes, so I'm sure you would have done the same thing I did, which is purchase a lock picking set.
Eric:Oh fuck, yeah, dude, oh fuck yeah, dude.
Matt:So we haven't had a reason to go back to the house yet. So we're probably we're going tomorrow to meet one of the contractors and I'm going to put it to the test, but instead, what I have been doing this week is on a padlock and the one like key lock door inside my apartment. I've just been picking, I've just been practicing.
Eric:Bro, you're leveling up in Rogue, fuck yeah.
Matt:I'm going to be one of those tick tockers that just pick locks. That's what I'm going to become.
Eric:Here's what scares me for you.
Matt:Tell me.
Eric:I think you're having a blast right now and you're picking your picking padlock. You're like, actually it's a lot of frustration.
Matt:It feels really good when I get it, yeah, but it's. It's a frustrating learning curve.
Eric:And I'm sorry if I'm planting this- seed in your mind.
Matt:No, be a gardener.
Eric:The first time you unlock your own door. Yeah, you're going to realize how easy it is to unlock your own door. I know, oh, I know, yeah, you're like you're going to have it, you're going to click and you're like I did it. And then there's going to be the part of brain like if Matt Shea can break into this Exactly, well, you are going to str-. So I can see. I foresee the, the, the expense of the locks you're about to buy, well, going up.
Matt:Not only. Not only are we going to replace the locks and all that good stuff, and it's an older house, so some of the like door knobs and stuff are just a little rickety and need to go anyway. Right, yeah, so that aspect. But, eric, please, you don't think that I have had the longest and grandest of plans for my security system. Are you kidding me? Go on. Oh, my Eric, let me tell you something about my house. It's going to be a fortress, impregnable. It's going to be a fortress. That mudroom, by the way, with the, with the exterior door. Yeah, my current indoor camera that I already have is already destined for that room, to be pointed at the back door, and that's not even counting the fact that I've already purchased an exterior camera for the back of the yard there, so you'd be caught from two different angles. So when you try to break into my house, eric, if that's what you're threatening me with, I got you, baby, I got you Nobody's coming.
Eric:And that's not even intercounting my Kevin McAllister level of sabotage that I will put oh yes, you're just going to be like you're going to have an intercom system to the outside, so someone's going to be sneaking in. You're just going to be in your little panic room Just put it like oh, I can see, just start heckling them, just start talking shit to the burglars.
Matt:Yeah, Vacation in Hawaii. I'll be like, oh yeah, go ahead and try.
Eric:Go ahead and try Now.
Matt:this is circling around.
Eric:This really is like a medieval fantasy game where, like the guys come in and just hear the boss's voice like, oh you try me, traveler, who comes to my dungeon?
Matt:as soon as he opens that mudroom door, he'll be greeted with I've been expecting you, mind the linoleum adventurer. What took you so long?
Eric:Please rest your feet and take off your shoes.
Matt:The next trial awaits you beyond this door.
Eric:Code hook to the left.
Matt:But please take off your shoes please. New carpet actually Turns out very expensive. Well, hello everybody and welcome to you. Didn't Ask for this, the podcast that answers life's least pressing questions. My name's Matt Shea.
Eric:My name's Eric Poach.
Matt:Eric Poach how are you?
Eric:Wonderful yeah. Ecstatic.
Matt:Yeah. What news of the world do you bring us?
Eric:Oh, my winter break's done and I had to go back to work today and I hate it.
Matt:Same that sucks me too, man. Yeah, I'm with you. It's like it happens every year too. When I take a big chunk of time off for the holidays and then come back, it's like it was just enough time to forget I had a job. You know what I mean. I got to.
Eric:I did. However, for New Year's I got to go party in a cabin all weekend with a bunch of my friends and that was really lovely. There were goats. We were in West Virginia and there was just like a paddock with two goats.
Matt:Yeah.
Eric:We named one of them Blonde Philip.
Matt:Blonde Philip. Why Blonde Philip? Was there already a brunette Philip on the trip?
Eric:There was a black goat as well, so you used black Philip. You know Blonde Philip.
Matt:Interesting. Yeah, I got. I see the naming that yeah and they wanted pets.
Eric:They also wanted to nibble my fingies.
Matt:Well, that's what they do, Eric, they're goats.
Eric:They're goat goats.
Matt:Did they climb in the cabin?
Eric:No, I absolutely would have partied with those goats. Those goats go hard, like I can feel it.
Matt:Goats are not to be fucked around with.
Eric:No.
Matt:They. They can be testy. I have milked goat.
Eric:You've milked a goat. Was this in? Your time as a Eagles goat.
Matt:It sure was baby. Yeah, I know it was, it was. Yeah, I think I might have even mentioned that on this show before. But yeah, we, I did once milk a goat.
Eric:Did you drink of its milk?
Matt:And so in like a line of bullies just coming up to the goat to milk it.
Eric:I'm sure it's the queue of lads.
Matt:Milking. Yes, I'm. Queue of lads Queue of lads.
Eric:All right, lads, let's get your milky 12 lads of milking 12 lads of milking.
Matt:That's not the 12, but that's fine. Yeah, no, so, but I didn't get. You know, that's as far as I took it. I milked the thing, I didn't get to do the whole. I didn't get cheese out of it, you know? No, no, but God bless goat cheese, so you basically gave them free labor, yeah sure, sure, I did, yeah, and that's because I'm a kind and generous soul.
Matt:But that all might end today, because waiting for us on the other side of the questions we're about to answer, eric, is the beginning. Part one of two of round three of season three of Google Gripes.
Eric:Right, right, right. Season three or season two, Season three bud, it's season three I have got to keep you in line. Keep me honest All times.
Matt:Yes, it is round three of season three of Google Gripes, our segment, our game where we read each other one-star Google reviews and the other tries to guess the game Guess the well-known location. We can introduce it in full later, of course, but we said for round three we were going hard mode and I'm excited to see if.
Eric:I see I remind you one more time what's the current score.
Matt:The current score, I believe, if memory serves, is six to five me, isn't it?
Eric:Yeah, we don't have to fix that Six to five me.
Matt:so you got to bring the heat, eric. We don't have to correct, but first, eric, the people need answers. The people need answers, eric, why don't you give us our first question of the day?
Eric:Happy to do so, baby boo. Our first question and this comes from our good friends at the FN Cultured podcast, that's, at FN Cultured Pokemon coming out with a new starter Pokemon, florida man. What are his attacks? What are his three evolutions? What does he sound like?
Matt:That is a great question. Pokemon all traditionally, of course just say their name.
Eric:They do. Now how does he say his name? I'm going to, I'm just going to kind of explore the space here for a sec.
Matt:Yeah, I'll explore with you.
Eric:Florida man.
Matt:I think I see what you're going for. I think it might be a little bit more like Florida man.
Eric:Ooh, okay, like a drop. Florida man, florida man, how about a Florida man? That's him attacking. Oh, okay, okay, so like, yeah, like a calling crow at dawn Florida man, florida man, florida man.
Matt:We are, we are. This is an inappropriate question for us to do on a weeknight.
Eric:Hold on, I do just want to. I do want to workshop real quick, just some more like actual. I'm going to divorce myself from my preconceptions of Florida and men. Okay, okay, okay, okay, Okay, what? All right, let's log that there there's one, I'm gonna go. Let's just try for something a little cute, like a, like a.
Matt:You're going for, like a tocopy type. Yeah, so I see what you're going. You're losing the Florida aspect and gaining the Pokemon aspect.
Eric:Yes, yes, yes, I'm taking the because you could also he could, he could go.
Matt:He could kind of go the coughing route where it's like Florida. Yeah, yeah, yeah yeah, yeah, but I think there needs to be an aspect of Of the country, the soon-to-be country of Florida, as it floats away your bingo cards.
Eric:Submit those today, by the end of January anyway okay, so, so, yeah, I think we need to keep like the, the, the Florida man, lotta man, lotta man, florida, florida, florida, so so, so it's a very chill. I feel like it's a chill Pokemon until it isn't he's okay, yes, yes, I agree.
Matt:and he, he wants to know about the fn culture, that is, wants to know about the attacks, but also his three evolutions. Now, traditionally, if he's a starter Pokemon, like a Bulbasaur, yeah, like a Squirtle, like a Charmander, that is first evolution. Like Florida, man is where we start. So does he have two evolutions? But fn culture asked for three. So that to me says he's one of the Pokemon that has like a third Final evolution, right? And then you know how. There's some like Evie, where you give a special something to it and it becomes a version.
Eric:So what I'm thinking is what if Florida man's them know how Pikachu had, or initially only had, raichu as an evolution?
Matt:But then they came out with.
Eric:Pichu as the pre evolution. I think Florida man should have a little bit of a red con. Yes, the baby, the baby version of Florida man and the big grown-up version of Florida man.
Matt:Oh, I like that better yeah let's do that Okay. So Florida man is your starting Pokemon. What type is he? Dog got it, love it and he's got to be a water type, right?
Eric:Got to be, got to be a water like a water water, water water poison type or is there a swamp? Type. There's poison type. That's the closest thing.
Matt:Can he be the oh yes, cuz toxic toxic and all those environmental regulations getting lifted.
Eric:So I think it's got to be and all art.
Matt:You know it to all our homies in Florida listening right now Doc on the on the heels of an episode where we talked about your state being cut off and floating away.
Eric:Yeah, like we don't want you to get the wrong idea. If you're listening to us and you're in Florida and you're a human being, we love you unconditionally. We want the world for you. Get the fuck out of Florida, continue. Yeah, get out of there. We just want the best for you and that means Escaping Florida before it sings into this, and that means that means migrating like a Pokemon you know, I'm sure that's cheap and easy, all right.
Matt:Okay, Florida man, so there's for me. Yeah it's only a matter of time before the prefix gator shows up. Okay, my question is is that the middle or is that the, the blast toys?
Eric:So so, honestly, what I'm thinking? It's Florida man, that's our baseline. Florida man, the Pre-evolution could be the cryptid Pokemon Gator boy, gator Gator boy, gator boy, gator boy, and it's just a little I like a nasty little little Gator. Gator, gator, boy Gator boy, just nipping at your ankles.
Matt:Yeah, gator boy. Yeah, I want to know a little bit of my Waluigi voice there. Yeah, yeah.
Eric:It's. It's a little Gator just bites people in the ankle, he spits so you want him to start with Gator boy.
Matt:You don't think Gator is like the big bad?
Eric:Gator gay.
Matt:Okay, so Florida man, let me ask you this, yeah, if going the Gator angle is not the epitome of a Florida Evolution. What is Rhonda Santis? Come on Now. Come on, you want to make him a Republican.
Eric:No, we want to like Florida man. I already like Florida man, I. I am all in on Florida.
Matt:So what is so? Alright, why don't we start basically Okay, yeah, before we get to the evolutions, maybe we talk about Florida man's attacks.
Eric:Okay, okay, so Florida man's attacks bath salts. One of them has it like is sprightly kicks, kicks, baths, faults at your Pokemon and make some make lose their minds. You know what he's got themselves in their confusion.
Matt:He's got a little like fanny pack on His side that he can reach into and he pulls out a little pouch of them and he just throws them at you like salt they you tell.
Eric:So he's like, like, like meows Making yes, out of nothing like yes, hey, but with fanny packs.
Matt:It's payday, but with bath salts.
Eric:Fanny day. Oh, it's payday with bath salts. Oh, yes, okay, okay, sorry, the image I had in my head, just the way you said it. You like he's got a fanny pack and inside he's just got a bunch of little ones, so he's thrown. I was like little fanny packs.
Matt:No, no, no, no, no, no, he's got. I was ready to yes and the shit out of that. No, he's got. The salts on on his person.
Eric:Yeah, that makes so much more sense. Yeah, he has a natural Well, that's also where they carry their young, it's where they keep their young absolutely.
Matt:He's a, so he's throwing bath salts.
Eric:And oh, here's the thing about Florida man. Florida man has like ridiculously good, like attack and special attack damage. Florida man is in a permanent state of confusion.
Matt:Yes, oh sure.
Eric:Florida man is always Confused anytime.
Matt:You can't use a confusion attack on him.
Eric:You can't use it. I can't confuse him.
Matt:He can't be dazed or confused he already is immune to psychic damage.
Eric:He's a man that's perfect. He's immune to psychic types, completely immune to psychic damage. You cannot reason or ghastly has no effect on him nothing. Good luck you too. Yeah, you can't do anything to the floor man.
Matt:No, I think he's got. He's got an attack. I'm working out what it is exactly, but it's called for loco and Okay it, okay, yes. Yes and I think in the world of Florida man, he Generates three other versions of himself that surround the Pokemon that he's battling temporarily. Okay, and okay, you with for loco cans. It's like, oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, making a little, little copies of himself quick copy smack with a can and he's back to base.
Eric:Very good, very good for loco. Could also be a stat boosting move.
Matt:Mmm Could highly.
Eric:I Imagine would raise attack stats further but greatly lower accuracy. Oh yeah, so not only he's confused, but he was, but God help you. With his swing connects. I'm thinking he's got a move, called something, along the lines of built tough Mmm, he summons a Ford f-150 truck drops Huh, truck, truck nuts, truck nuts. He just picks out, swings them like fucking Eric yeah.
Matt:I take it back. Truck nuts is his second form.
Eric:Truck nuts is oh truck, that's so wait.
Matt:Florida man involves into truck nuts into truck nuts.
Eric:So we got Gator boy Florida man truck nuts.
Matt:We got Gator boy Florida man truck nuts. That's the so far.
Eric:I.
Matt:In the evolutionary stage, in the evolutionary stance, and we haven't talked about Gator boy yet.
Eric:We lock those in yes lock those in lock those in.
Matt:So truck nuts, let's talk about truck nuts. His type is. Ford f-150 it's his, he's built for tough. Yeah, he comes with an f-150 super duty.
Eric:Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, he's got the extra, like those weird double-back we know what I mean Like where it's. Yes, there's like the. The back has four wheels for some reason a hundred percent.
Matt:Yeah, I know what you mean.
Eric:Ever everyone in America knows me, me, yes, he's the light, the headlights are his eyes. He, he's got a big old, big old grill mouth. You can't ride in him. You cannot ride in him. No one can ride truck nuts. Truck nuts rides you truck nuts.
Matt:He constantly.
Eric:When the pokedex enter, entry will be something like when truck nuts is angry it lets out billows of black smoke.
Matt:Yes, it's cold down the highway. Yes, a hundred percent.
Eric:Oh, so it knows smog like by default it Can it truck nuts nose, but it comes with swankin.
Matt:Yeah it's poison metal is his type it can actually, it actually can summon Weezings and send them out.
Eric:Yeah, yeah, yeah, well, they're, well, they're only.
Matt:Pokemon to summon another Pokemon.
Eric:The Weezings ride in the back of the pickup truck.
Matt:Yeah, they're in the bay like that.
Eric:That's yeah, it's like a symbiotic relationship. Mm-hmm how like some Pokemon are like latched on a.
Matt:Yeah, that's a hundred percent. It's a symbiotic relationship. I love that. Yes, he also has a health, a regenerative health Benefit, a regenerative health move called tailgate.
Eric:Yep, yep, yep, yep, yep, yep.
Matt:Where he just sits back and kind of has a hot dog and a couple and a six-pack cracks couple. Yeah, let's down the truck, the truly down the tailgate and has a has a grand old time.
Eric:So, so, that's so. What does Florida man look like? Just dial it back to.
Matt:Florida man, right, florida man. What I've been picturing this whole time is man in a white tank top who's got tattoos or mark body markings that suggest a white tank top. He has a tattoo of a white tank top. Yeah, okay in the positioning where a white tank top should be. Okay he also has two tattoos on either shoulder.
Eric:He has two sets of eyes, okay one on the front of his head, the other that looks like sunglasses on the back of it.
Matt:Yes, but and they are coming out of the top of his head, which is, in fact, a trucker hat.
Eric:Yes, the hat is his mouth. That's what he talks out of.
Matt:Yeah, that's a lot of man and whatever logo is on the hat is a mystery to everyone, because there is a strip of duct tape over it.
Eric:There's a strip of duct tape over it and also it changes depending on their emotions.
Matt:Yes, when riled, the color scheme will change barefoot, doesn't what doesn't have pants on?
Eric:there's no pants, yeah, no pants on this Pokemon boxer shorts. Boxer shorts box or shorts, I think.
Matt:I'm gonna, I'm gonna change it. Eric, I think he's not barefoot. I think he's got thong flip-flops on okay. Or is that not. Does that feel wrong to you?
Eric:I worry that we're making the Pokemon to human. Okay, okay because then ethical concerns get raised, which is an ethical concern in and of itself the fact that I have to wait for it to look like me before I care about its well-being and before we go any further just to touch on Gator boy real quick.
Matt:I think Gator boy, I think that's not a good sentence, I think, gator boy, just what I'm imagining is there was a toy when we grew up that was like a little alligator with a big old mouth and you put your teeth down, one at a time, and then one caused it to snap. Yes, I loved that game. That is the size and shape of what I'm picturing, gator boy and its mouth is Constantly open.
Eric:It's like like slack jaw, like they could their pokedex entries. They their water types, but they have to be careful when it rains or else they could drown.
Matt:Yes, okay, it's only water type.
Eric:It can't breathe water, all right.
Matt:Sir Gator boy evolves into Florida, florida man, man. And Florida man evolves into truck nuts. What is nuts? What's drunk nuts? What is truck nuts? What is the final form of Florida man?
Eric:Okay, so we're going for four. I thought that's what we agreed, oh yeah.
Matt:Oh, because Gator boy is the Peek Shoe.
Eric:Yeah, oh, right, right, I see, I see, I thought we were doing a one-to-one Peek-a-chew and Florida man, no, this makes sense. So we got Gator buy. Gator buy yeah truck nuts, yeah um Disney.
Matt:I Was just thinking how do we work it in you know, like how does work in Disney Walt?
Eric:Disney.
Matt:You're saying it evolves. It is just.
Eric:Walt to. It looks like Walt Disney, it sounds like Walt Disney, but all I can say is Walt Disney, mmm.
Matt:Okay, I'm marinating with it. I'm marinating with it.
Eric:You are so. You are so considerate of my feelings. I, I'm, I'm letting it bask you're, you're, this is the softest you have ever let me down. This is, this is like. This is the gentlest Told me. I just said something fucking stupid.
Matt:No, no, I would never do that or say that about you on microphone.
Eric:All right, so we're scrapping that shit. Can idea?
Matt:What's another good floor to stare at? We haven't done much with swamps.
Eric:Ever glade a boy master at a swamp Florida man master of the mud himself gave him Drunk nut. Master of the of the road. So maybe something of the yeah of the sky of the sky flamingo. Flamingo flamingo and that actually ties back to the flow.
Matt:Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, flamingo man flamingo man, flamingo man, flamingo man, I can get behind flamingo man flamingo, man flamingo man now he can't.
Eric:It's got. It's got well cuz some Pokemon. I don't know if you know this is, this is. This is one of the things about Pokemon driving nuts. They'll have like all three evolutions leading up to a fourth one and, like the first three, all Track, like they all have little element and then there's a fourth.
Eric:That's just Some of them. You're like God, I've really I Kind of should have stuck with what I had. Yeah, I think I think flamingo man is the regret Pokemon. It is a flamingo man and it's just like it's waving its head around. Like Magikarp evolves into Gyarados right, that's a step from like that's going from zero to a hundred.
Matt:What if we do a complete 180 here, a little bit okay and we make it. Here's what I'm seeing now. Now we were given a set of instructions, but I'm wondering if we tweak it. And Okay, me, for Mingaman is your Pikachu Gator boy. Maybe we tweak it. Gator boy becomes the secondary evolution, and okay that's is the ultimate.
Eric:Truck nuts is okay, so it would go.
Matt:It would go flamingo man, I'm on Florida man.
Eric:Oh sorry, flamingo on Gator boy Florida, man or no?
Matt:I'm saying we make.
Eric:Gator boy a little bit more powerful and Florida man.
Matt:Florida man evolves into Gator boy. Okay then, gator boy Was the truck yes, yes.
Eric:When every, every boy becomes a nut, when every boy learns how to nut.
Matt:That's what laughs all about that's what laughs all about in so okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, and so flamingo man. How is pretty useless. It's the Caterpie of.
Eric:Is the Caterpie, it's, it's the, it's the yes it's the weed just. It's the weedle. It drags its own head along on the ground like it's a flamingo that can't hold up its own head. It sees the entire world upside down, and yes, it's incredibly, incredibly weak also uses its head as a weapon. Yes, cleaning the constant confusion that it's in, that it's in it evolves in the Florida man, who we've already well established.
Matt:Florida man evolves into the new version of Gator boy. So Gator boy has to be a little bit more powerful. I no longer think he's that small. I think you should be the size of an alligator.
Eric:Should he be Gator dude?
Matt:if we're going to do.
Eric:Gator dude, gator dude, gator dude, yeah, gator dude.
Matt:Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, just real like voice him with Sam Elliott Gator dude, gator, dude, gator, dude, any as a mustache dude, dude, oh, oh yeah, he's got a little mustache. He's got a little mustache and he also comes with a pack of Marlboro's. Okay, yeah, chain smoking Gator second hand smoke is one of his attacks.
Eric:Yep, yep, keeping with the poison theme I love it, I love it, I love it, mm-hmm, mm-hmm. I think, I think that's brilliant.
Matt:Yeah, I think we've got it and and we pretty much nailed it and we stuck. And we actually did stick to Florida. Man, we stuck to the prompt because we love effing culture we, we.
Eric:I love effing culture so much. Yeah, they're my good, good boys.
Matt:We stuck to the prompt we get the prompt. Florida man is your base Pokemon, but he's got a. Technically he can evolve from a Flamingo man. Yes, he moves on up to Gator, boy, gator, dude, gator dude, slight, slight tweak.
Eric:Okay, instead of flamingo man, what about just flamingo?
Matt:Well, I like flamingo. Yeah flamingo, flamingo is nice.
Eric:Yeah, yeah, okay good.
Matt:Yeah, I like it. We have lost our minds. Gator dude and then he evolves into truck nuts. Truck nuts Just got a set truck nuts. He also caught. Truck nuts comes with a very Chaotic attack that almost all that can't. I can't really get into it because it's so chaotic, but it is called Sunday, sunday, sunday.
Eric:Yeah, yeah, yeah yeah, that's like that, one of tooth. Okay, at the end of this move, one of the two Pokemon on screen will be dead.
Matt:It'll either be not sure nuts or not fainted.
Eric:Not fainted dead dead. This is, this is. There's no pokey center that will undo what. Sunday Sunday Sunday Sunday Sunday Sunday Sunday, and you'll pay for your whole seat.
Matt:You'll only need the edge truck nuts has no control over which Pokemon either himself or his opponent will die.
Eric:Oh, oh, yeah, yeah. Like, like it's one of those you'll go to throw out a Pokemon. Like you'll pick a Pokemon from your satchel, even if it's in your goddamn PC. Like, even if truck nuts is stored in your PC, there isn't a small chance you go to throw that ball truck nuts like God again.
Matt:Truck nuts again. You can't predict him.
Eric:You can never predict. Oh, this also reminds me I was behind a car Fucking truck the other day that had the. You know, when they do like they have a chain, instead they have the giant like literal Hardware nuts and bolts, kind of nuts. Yes like hanging from a thing. Had that. Ha ha, love it. Funny, cute, tongue-in-cheek. Hanging from that was a pair of actual truck nuts. No Power move.
Matt:Absolutely powerful. At that point Are they dragging on the ground?
Eric:Barely avoiding it. But truck nuts on, truck nuts powerful.
Matt:Eric, I think we've answered this question in we've answered this question. Oh yes, we've done very well. So that brings us to our next question, and this one has been kicking around for a long time. It comes from poach's D&D groups.
Eric:Yes, which a few of them listen to this and only they might not even that. We, we, we. This was brought to me like a year in some change ago. We've been sitting on this.
Matt:What are the most mildly infuriating curses you can think of? We've been sitting on it for a long time. That doesn't mean we've come up with anything, but the first thing that jumps to mind for me. You know, when you like, get a tiny piece of your nail Cut and it bends back into your finger skin. Yes, you get that.
Eric:Yes, I, currently you can't get rid of nonstop. There is the eternal hair at the back of the throat.
Matt:Oh my god, that's evil.
Eric:Yeah, curse someone, so it always feels like there's a sharp little pebble in their shoe. Mm-hmm, not even enough to hurt, just enough that you know it's there and you can do nothing about it. And it's always changing spots.
Matt:It changes spots. You take off your shoes, you give them, you scratch the soles of those shoes and still it's there when you put them back on.
Eric:Oh uh. If you're going to get a slurpee, it'll always. They'll only have slurpees ready at the second 7-eleven you go to every time. You'll never be able to go go get a slurpee and get a. Get one where the machines are all ready To spend slurp on the first try. You gotta go to a, gotta go to a second 7-eleven Related to that and this is truly evil.
Matt:When you go to a Wendy's to get a frosty, they are always out of chocolate.
Eric:Oh yeah, they got a clean. Oh, they're out of chocolate or they're cleaning the machine.
Matt:That's like that's a mcdonald's thing.
Eric:That's a little okay, oh, so that's your mcflurry curse, you got your. You got your wendy's curse because, because you know, the second you curse their wendy's, they're gonna think, oh, oh, well, you know, I'll just, I'll just stick to mcflurry's from now on and see, that's the thing that pisses me off about people and their relationship with magic, because people assume that magic is stupid. They assume magic is dumb and magic, magic Magic sees your shit coming. You think you think you're gonna circum, circumvent the fucking threads of fate by by not going to wendy's and going to mcdonald's to get a mcflurry Instead of a frosty? You piece of shit. Go off, king. The curse knows, the curse fucking knows. They're cleaning the machine. You tell us you. Oh no, escaping this monkey's paw.
Matt:Wow, you were that. We really hit a nerve with you just now. Yeah, yeah, sorry, sorry.
Eric:Well, no, I'm proud of you All.
Matt:right, I'm very proud of you, right now.
Eric:Thank you.
Matt:What about the wet spot on a sock?
Eric:Oh God.
Matt:Wet spot on the sock.
Eric:Oh, oh, oh, let me. Let me take this bit further, because this is the curse right after you put on the sock. We're working with magic. Every time you put on socks Within a randomly determined number of steps, you'll suddenly feel like you stepped in something wet and you'll look down. Your sock will be wet, but there won't be any puddle on the floor, but your sock will now be wet. Your sock is wet. Your sock is now wet 100%.
Matt:That is mildly infuriating. That might graduate to just being infuriating actually that one.
Eric:Yeah, yeah, yeah, um, ooh, okay, mildly infuriating every few steps You'll think you stepped in something wet. Oh, interesting. You'll have to stop and check Like ugh. It'll happen at just the right frequency that you'll forget you have the curse, so you'll go to check every time and you'll be like God, I have the fucking curse.
Matt:Whenever you're on a road in which there's four successive traffic lights, you will always get through the first two on greens, and the third one will always end up being a yellow by the time you get to it. Oh, that's fucked and you can't run it. You don't have time to run it. Yeah, it turns in. Yeah, it turns too soon.
Eric:And, to be clear, they will all be green on your approach.
Matt:They will all be green and this is key, they're all green. On your approach, you get through one right as you're getting through two, you see the other one turn yellow. You think you can gun it. You can't, and for some unknown reason to God and man, the fourth one is still green.
Eric:The fourth one is still green. Here's the beauty of it. Here's the beauty of it. Your third light you're at the red light. The other light is green the whole time. Yeah, then the lights will start doing that thing. Where you'll be at this red light and the other lights around you will go through two more cycles of yellow, green, red before this one turns Like you'll get double this one, for whatever reason, is double the amount of time of the other, all the other cars will get to go.
Eric:Oh yeah, I think that's a winner.
Matt:And then the last one has a red light camera on it.
Eric:Yes, yes, For good measure. And if you dare to turn right on red, even though it's legal, you'll see a flash. You'll have to, you'll get it in the mail and you'll have to like each time. You don't have to pay the fine, but you have to call them and be like I was turning right, Like the footage, because you know it's automated and they're like oh yeah, after reviewing your account, I think that wins.
Matt:I think that wins.
Eric:I don't think we're going to beat that one. No, no, no.
Matt:All right. So I think, hey, that's okay, we can have an easy question answer, yeah.
Eric:Asked and fucking answered Our final question, and this is from our good friend of the pod, jennifer, that would be sister of Dr Lindsay Barr. Indeed, jennifer asks how do you get to Sesame Street?
Matt:Now this this is interesting because in the song Sunny Day it does frequently ask can you tell me how to get to Sesame Street, as we all know?
Eric:Yeah, it, it, it. Thank you.
Matt:Thank you, but it never does explain how one gets there.
Eric:No, and and that's, and that's, that's kind of key thing, right? So it sounds like the singer of the song is on some sort of quest. I'm just going to throw that out there, like like, how does one get to Sesame Street? How do I, how do I reach the gates of Valhalla? I it honestly Sesame Street as an entity. It feels like much, much like the, the undying lands in Tolkien's universe, the Greyhavens, much like them, like unto them. I feel like there's kind of like a purity test that comes with getting to Sesame Street.
Matt:I was going to say you need to be pure of heart to to even be able to access it.
Eric:One hundo percent. I mean like look at the demographics of Sesame Street Muppet.
Matt:Muppet.
Eric:Like child, represents the two largest blocks, and then the very, very small human adult population, and to get in you either need to be famous or just a really, really radical, awesome human being like the like the grown up actors were, or sorry, the grown up inhabitant inhabitants were of Sesame Street. Like the bar is high. You have to be a child, a puppet or a, or like a, a famously pure of heart person.
Matt:That's what I was going to say. The celebrities that show up on Sesame Street are always good, pure, fun humans, for the most part.
Eric:For the most part. I'm sure some I I get. I'm like I'm sure Bill Cosby was on an episode at some point and well and at the time we all thought he was pure of heart.
Matt:He cheered and we cheered.
Eric:Haven't seen him on Sesame Street since.
Matt:No, he doesn't know anything. I've seen his ass. He fell. He can't get back.
Eric:Yeah, yeah, he can't get back. Fallen from grace, fallen from fucking grace. All the pun pops in the world couldn't get him back there.
Matt:No, no, goodness, no, no. Nor should he go back. No, no, no, of course not. So that's step one. You have to have the purity of your intentions must be pure.
Eric:Your intentions have to be pure. I think it. It sounds like it has to be a sunny day.
Matt:That's true. You can only reach it on sunny days.
Eric:You really reach it on sunny days and you have to ask the right person because that's my question for the song is who? Because it's a child asking the question how do you get to Sesame Street? Who are they asking? And I think there's like a part like oh, oh, oh, man, I've got it, man, I've got it, man, I've got it.
Matt:All right.
Eric:I take it. I think there's one person who can tell them how to get to Sesame Street, and this would be a person who a knows how to get to Sesame Street. Clearly, I would say he's an inhabitant of Sesame Street but has a connection, a bridge to our world, like someone who, who kind of, who kind of can play both sides of the street, if you know what I'm saying.
Matt:I let me, before you say anything, eric, I have a name and if you're describing the name I'm thinking of that, kiss me continue.
Eric:Okay, okay, I think they have to ask the one per, and this, this is going to be the. This is the challenge, this is, this is what they must overcome. I think they have to ask Oscar the grouch how to get to Sesame Street.
Matt:My guy, I like that, I like so that involved.
Eric:Who are you?
Matt:thinking of? I was thinking of, not not Oscar, which I do like I was thinking of LeVar Burton.
Eric:Oh, also a bitch in answer. Oh yeah, no, that okay, canonically you have to. You either have to ask Oscar the grouch or Jordy LaForge have to get either of them out. Either one, they're both, but Now the first one.
Matt:Your option involves children at at random opening sidewalk trash cans.
Eric:Didn't say it was easy to get to Sesame Street.
Matt:Didn't say that to be easy.
Eric:Even a tray. You had to go through the swamps of sadness. My guy, we're just paying you our tax.
Matt:One must find Oscar in his natural habitat.
Eric:I think that's what balances it out is. I think Oscar is the easiest one to find, but he's the hardest to convince. Like that's, that's your pure, because Oscar, at at the end of the day, he's pure of heart. At the end of the day, he's pure of heart. At the end of the day, if you are also pure of heart, he will allow you into study. He's like all right, I'll tell you how to get to Sesame Street, right?
Matt:But so he's obviously. This should go without saying. Neither of us know.
Eric:No, god no.
Matt:We can't get there.
Eric:No, no, no, no. So I would say like it's kind of like the old fable sort of sort of structure, where the child must go to Oscar and they'll ask once and Oscar will say no, and then they'll, and they'll even they'll come back and they'll ask again and they'll say no.
Matt:But there's a trial Three times Do I think there's a trial? Yeah, Do you think there's a world where Oscar the Grouch is like prove you deserve to go to Sesame Street?
Eric:Oh yeah, and I think that I, yes, I think that's the trial, and I think a lot of people will fuck it up by thinking they have to do something crazy and impressive. They're like, well, I'm going to do this, I'm going to help 12 old ladies cross the street, but really, the true test is the kid who hugs Oscar the Grouch.
Matt:Eric.
Eric:Kid hugs Oscar the Grouch I love that One way ticket to Sesame Street, One fucking way ticket. So he's easy to find. You have to solve his trash can puzzle. But to balance that out, LeVar Burton much more difficult to get into intimate contact with to ask, but if you do, he'll always. Oh yeah, because if you, if you get close enough to LeVar Burton to ask him out of Sesame Street, you've earned it and I well, I think.
Matt:I think he also has a test, but his is in the form of a question and a simple question. Yeah, he leans down and he asks very simply are Bert and Ernie roommates? That's it, shit. That's the question. There's a right answer and there's a wrong answer.
Eric:Lover Burton can fly twice as high.
Matt:And we all know. We all know what it is, because we've all, we've always known, we've always known, we've always known.
Eric:The correct answer is they certainly live together. If you say it that way, they certainly live together, or?
Matt:you say, if you answer with in the sense that they live together, sure.
Eric:Or if you want to get bonus points for entering Sesame Street. I don't know what the prize is, but the bonus points would be would be no, they aren't just roommates, but I'm not going to out them until they're ready. That is the extra, extra special answer.
Matt:Homies, don't out homies. There you go. I think, I think we've kind of done it yeah.
Eric:Oh, absolutely. That's how you get to Sesame Street and if you're a member of Hart, find us through the Grouch. Answer his trash can puzzle. Or go chill with Lover Burton and tell him that you know Burton, ernie are and don't be homophobic. And don't be homophobic.
Matt:Done, done, done Easy, and that's how you get to Sesame Street.
Eric:And that's how you get, how you get to.
Matt:Sesame Street. Also, you can. This is this is a little known fact. If you've ever uttered the phrase veggie monster, you can't go, you can't go, you can't go Not allowed, not allowed yeah.
Eric:Let's, let's, let's rattle off a quick list of people who we know can't get to Sesame Street. People who say veggie monster, rhonda Santis, rhonda Santis cannot get to Sesame Street. People who don't return shopping carts. Oh, if you go to show someone something like, if you're really excited about like a little cute leaf or a bug you found, you're like hey, do you want to come look at that? I found this, this cool bug, this cool leaf, and like you want to come over and look at it. And they're like no, that's dumb, yeah.
Matt:You're getting to Sesame Street, you can't go. If you've ever made any sort of cosmetic modification to your muffler, you can't go.
Eric:Can't go. Can't go. There is an exception for truck nuts on truck nuts, sure, but if you have truck nuts and you were, oh, if you roll coal like if you, if you blast fucking black exhaust out of your truck because you modified it to do that A, that's bad for your truck, so you're not even a good truck owner. B can't get to Sesame Street.
Matt:No, you can't get to Sesame Street If you kidnap.
Eric:Dalmatians, that's automatic. That is got like, let alone one of them.
Matt:If you kidnap. If you kidnap, we can stop right there.
Eric:If you kidnap, if you kidnap, I feel yeah, to be clear, if you kidnap, yeah, you don't get to Sesame Street.
Matt:Yeah, yeah, Absolutely no. Also, oh um ditto can't go.
Eric:Ditto like the Pokemon, the Pokemon ditto can't go. Can't go to Sesame Street. He's not purified, he's not purified man. What did ditto do?
Matt:Ditto's not purified. Come on, what did ditto do?
Eric:Ditto he you come on as an established piece of lore is the, the, the freak genetic remains of failed attempts to clone mew and make mew too Correct. So so so we're saying to that little face no, you don't get to come to Sesame Street.
Matt:Well, because? Because he's a little bit of a spy, isn't he? His proclivity for mimicking makes him ineligible, because he's not being himself.
Eric:He's not being himself. Oh man, oh so, so he's not, he's not true to himself. So to extend the okay, to extend that. So not only can the, the, the, the creature did not have a choice in its own horrific making cannot come to Sesame Street, but if you ever experienced self doubt or feelings of not being worth enough, you also can't come to Sesame Street.
Matt:Just, so why are you doing this to me?
Eric:Why are you doing this to?
Matt:me why are you doing this to ditto?
Eric:What did ditto? What happened? What Matt, what happened? All right, fine, ditto can go to Sesame Street, then, I guess, sure.
Matt:If you, if you're, if you're going to be a bully about it.
Eric:I don't want ditto at Sesame Street Cause you're not going to fucking Sesame Street.
Matt:I'll tell you that.
Eric:Whoa.
Matt:You can't get there. You think you? You'd say you're pure of heart. Well, I have a heart. Oh yeah, Based on the behavior I just witnessed.
Eric:I don't think so. I know when it's broken, broken hearted, no, so that's how you get to Sesame Street. Friends Only well adjusted neurotypicals allowed in Sesame Street.
Matt:All right, you know what, eric? Now you're paining me as a villain. I'm sorry, and for those reasons, I have to say that's how you get to Sesame Street. Thank you, jennifer, for the question, and now, eric, it's time for me to punish you. Yeah, there it comes With Google Gripes. Okay, you want to transition? There it is. That was good. That was good, yeah, because now I'm revved up and I'm ready to go with vengeance on my mind.
Eric:Any wonders why you can't get to Sesame Street.
Matt:I didn't say I was eligible to go to Sesame Street. Don't bring us back there. Okay Okay, leave Sesame Street out of this. Okay Okay. So it is six to five. Yes, that is what we established.
Eric:Yes.
Matt:After our controversial conclusion to round two of Google Gripes from two episodes ago. So again real quick. If you're new, google Gripes is a game where Eric and I read real one star Google reviews of well known places. That's the only guideline and we try to guess them. We have done three seasons, plus the special bonus episode 50 edition of Google Gripes, and so what we established this time is that, since our first round was fairly easy, we tried to make our second round a medium difficulty, and now we had said, we had promised each other, that our third round would be hard mode.
Eric:Hard mode baby.
Matt:Hard mode baby. So, eric, let me ask you this Are you ready?
Eric:Yes, my son.
Matt:Okay, then I'm going to get into this Again. As always, I have three locations for you, with three reviews each. Let's fucking go. Okay, here we go First, and I did. Even though I think I tried to make it hard mode, I still put them in what I think is increasing difficulty within the hard bracket.
Eric:Okay, okay, I stuck to our path. Devolution of sorts.
Matt:I tried. You probably going to get it right away, and then I'm going to feel like I failed. Here we go. First review they covered the pyramid with cloth frowny face emoji, disgraceful and meaningless. That's it. Okay, that's your review. Second review the most beautiful building, filled with gorgeous historical paintings, sculptures, etc. But this was my least favorite part of my trip. To blank, so crowed, make it impossible to enjoy, you'll push. The quality of air is less than decent because most of the time, you're located in a basement with about 70 people in each room. The exit takes 20 minutes to get to and the line is so unbelievably wrong. Therefore, I wouldn't recommend. Okay, okay, now for this next one. I do feel like it is necessary for me to don an accent, so excuse me.
Matt:Oh, yes, please, french, you stink and as a German, I put my German on your ugliness of your face. Those are your reviews.
Eric:The Louvre final answer.
Matt:I told you, I made it to God damn easy you got it, tied it. You tied it. You tied it. Okay, I was worried that one was too easy. I was worried.
Eric:I read the Da Vinci code.
Matt:Yeah, yeah, I know that building inside and out baby. Now, those are some short. What in that?
Eric:building what?
Matt:All right, here we go. Are you ready, ready? You were so quick. Let's leave it behind, because now I'm worried. I didn't make any of these hard, all right. Second location, first review Okay.
Matt:Extremely crowded, overpriced and very difficult to get around, even with the audio guide. Everything was bad, starting with the train trip from Naples. Train was dirty, crowded, old and overheated. When you arrive, people are all around you to try to sell their guided tours. I eventually got to the official ticket desk. The queue was okay, but you had to wait at a separate queue to grab your audio guide.
Matt:The audio guide is actually a phone and you can only hear it even if the volume is at the max, when it is quiet. It is never quiet at blank, since there are many, many groups, most of them with guides, that talk loud and block many if the walking passages from within the ruins. South Italians are so lucky to have such a gem, but they do not take care of it. They do not give a shit about the tourist experience. They only care about the tourists' money. Had high expectations on learning something while visiting blank, but this was almost impossible so many places were closed. So I was following the map on the audio guide to hear some info about a place, and when I would get there I would find it to be closed. That's your first review.
Eric:Let me get this man a glass of water.
Matt:Second review. It is a ruined, sad city. Wasn't amazed by anything. For me, it was important to see the bodies and how they preserved it. It wasn't even an appropriate place to see and read about them big saloon, not even in the museum, and people standing in a row to see difficulty. Apart of it, it's just a tourist making money place 15 euros and nothing historically educational and almost no data near the statues or anything. I have been lots of historical places that was ruined, but this one really embarrassing from the way they show and present it. Angry, frowning face emoji.
Eric:Okay, 15 euros in this economy Okay.
Matt:Third review Can't see any corpses. Disappointing.
Eric:Nice, nice, there you go. That was a very good button on it.
Matt:Those are your three reviews Pompeii.
Eric:Final answer Motherfucker.
Matt:Motherfucker, I felt good about Pompeii. All right, what was it? What did I include too much of?
Eric:The second you said Naples. I was like okay, I did? It could be in. I was like Naples, isn't it? My dad lived in Naples. Then it was. I was like, okay, that could be a bait and switch because I'm like you could get to a lot of places from Naples, yep.
Matt:That's why.
Eric:I felt okay, including it. Then you mentioned South Italy and then you mentioned corpses. I was like Pompeii.
Matt:All right, I made it too easy. All right, I got one last chance to keep you from delivering a perfect conclusion to your round. First review Waded with huge crowds to get a short glimpse of a rotten old marble bath. The locals seem fascinated by it, so perhaps I missed something.
Eric:I'm just, is that inflection you put on it is I exactly, I'm positive the exact inflection that person was going for?
Matt:Okay.
Eric:So I guess I missed something.
Matt:Yes, exactly Now, Eric. Review number two, I have to say, was translated by Google Translate.
Eric:Oh, hell yeah.
Matt:And it is. I don't think this naturally happens as Google Translate, but it does look like a poem, so I'm going to read it as I believe it was written. Thank God, 2007, 2017, twice at the front entrance, two thirds of the actual size of the imperial carriage replica welcomes you in a huge glass case. Limited and impressive replica manufacturing is amazing. The real thing is America. The Smithsonian Museum in possession. After excavation, statues were newly displayed, display you have made. I personally feel that the reason is being on you pass a pine tree between the ditches covered with soil, broken and damaged over many years. See photos from the time of excavation. Felt the farmer who first discovered it as honorary director for book buyers in various languages, something like the emperor seal I was pushing. I was left with a feeling of discomfort. Simply, each person kudos to you for being discovered. I think you should do it. Snaps. Snaps in the chat boys. Snaps in the chat.
Matt:All right. Last review it sucks, and I was about to die from the ugliness of the statues.
Eric:All right, good God, oh, this one. Okay, I finally got one that he doesn't know right away. So I understood that what he was saying was there's an imperial carriage Again, this is a translation, but whatever that is, the actual one is in the possession of the Smithsonian in America and the one that he saw. The actual place was two third size replica. That looked very nice bath.
Matt:Yeah, what's your thinking? What's your feeling, since you can't just spit out a correct answer right away? You gotta at least think about this one.
Eric:The phrase the baths at something keeps coming to mind. Okay, but I can't for the life like the baths of. It's not the baths of Rome Might have been, though they had baths, they had public baths. Sure, oh, imperial carriage, there's a lot of references. There's references to Rome. I'm gonna I honestly have nothing. I'm gonna throw something out. Let's see how we do. The Parthenon.
Matt:The Parthenon.
Eric:The Parthenon.
Matt:You wanna go with the Parthenon?
Eric:That's honest. But, bro, I have fucking nothing. I am shocked. That sounds the most like it could be something.
Matt:Yeah, no, I get that. You're saying. It feels like something that I would pick as a Google gripe. Is that what you're saying?
Eric:Yeah.
Matt:Like, almost like, I would have done it in the first round of this season of Google gripes.
Eric:You did do it, fuck. That was my final answer.
Matt:It was you said. Final answer.
Matt:Man, that was a whole lot of yes, yes no, yeah, I had to exploit the fact that everything we discuss on the show immediately leaves your brain when we finish it. That's your Pokemon power. No, eric, it is not the Parthenon. But because I am a kind and generous soul and because you extended to me such a forgiving attitude with the Disneyland, disney World debacle, I will allow you a second guess. Oh my God, I will allow you a second guess. This is to put to bed any critics out there who feel the Disney World ruling was unjust. Okay, Okay.
Matt:So do you have a guess?
Eric:The Parthenon, no Sesame Street, no Sounds. Roman Statues, excavated Statues excavated. Excavated. There's a there. It's an important enough place that we have a chunk of it, apparently an entire carriage assuming that was the correct translation in the Smithsonian in America. Assuming that what that guy is saying is true. God, I love this game.
Matt:That's always the human element, always it the human element. And one of these is coming through a translation.
Eric:And it's the one with the most information. I did not do you dirty Eric.
Matt:I reviewed this and figured I put in enough.
Eric:You did not do me dirty. This is tough. You understood the assignment on this one. I'll remind you, you got the other two without even thinking about it. I know. That's why I'm like I deserve to be here. I will say the baths at Rome. The baths at Rome. Watch it be the baths of something, but not Rome.
Matt:No, eric, it's not the baths at Rome, and although there is a bath as part of this complex, it is not the most well known part of this site. And this site happens to be Emperor Kinshi Huang's mausoleum, mostly known for its terracotta army.
Eric:Yes, the statue army. Oh God, my Western centric mind betrayed me because I heard Imperial and I assumed fucking Rome. Oh God, that's a good one, that's a fucking good one. The terracotta army Eric is what we're talking about. The Kinshi.
Matt:Huang's mausoleum, the first emperor of China.
Eric:Yep, yep, yep, that's a good one, I'll take my hat off to that one. It is true that there are terracotta. No wonder you gave me a second guess.
Matt:There are terracotta. Eric, I'll be honest with you, I thought you were about to be like, fuck it, the terracotta army. Like I thought you were about to just throw it out the way I threw out Great.
Eric:Barrier Reef. The bad guys from Mummy 3? Oh man.
Matt:Eric. So there you have it. You end Google Gripes season three with a score of seven out of nine.
Eric:Now.
Matt:Eric, you have a task ahead of you, don't you? Oh yes, I do, man, come the next episode.
Eric:Yes, I most certainly do Come the next episode.
Matt:I am currently rocking a perfect score. I only need one to tie you and I only need two to beat you. So choose your reviews wisely and listen. I thought I the first two. I'll admit I expected you to get the lube. Of course you expect me to get the lube. That was a pretty good French accent. Actually, I did not expect you to pull out Pompey as quickly as you did. Pompey baby. I thought you would get it, but I thought you'd have to massage it a little bit and I thought the Terracotta Army would be a stretch. I would have been very impressed.
Eric:The Terracotta Army. Such a good choice, God damn, that's good. We're at the point now where names are going to start failing us.
Matt:We're like the place with the thing I will admit to you, Eric, in trying to, Because there was and you and I this is a private pain that only you and I know I had such a good location and the reviews.
Eric:Let me down, Eric, the reviews weren't good enough to give you I've run into that many a time they were too easy.
Matt:They were too blatantly easy, so I was so proud of it I was like, ooh, this is just famous, yet obscure enough that it'll work. And alas, it did not. But that's the score.
