00:00:36 Narrator
And how it shaped them as adults. So turn down the grunge and dial up the Internet. Let's get started. It's time for namely 90s.

00:01:23 Andrew
One month wait.
00:01:25 Brandon
It's not clearly not even in this season 4 that we're doing very much.
00:01:30 Andrew
Yeah, sure. We call this morning again.
00:01:35 Brandon
Limping towards Bethlehem, slouching towards Bethlehem.
00:01:39 Brandon
Is that is that a relevant reference?
00:01:42 Andrew
I don't think that it is I. Well, it's not relevant to me apparently.
00:01:43 Brandon
OK.
00:01:45 Brandon
Interesting.
00:01:48 Brandon
You know, I don't. I don't. Don't make me explain it. It's just something that was the title of an Angel episode.
00:01:57 Andrew
Ohh well then that that should make it more clear for our our listenership.
00:02:01 Andrew
Although I feel like.
00:02:02 Andrew
Our listenership would know the show Angel for.
00:02:04 Andrew
The most part?
00:02:04 Brandon
Yeah, I mean that the title in itself is a reference to marching towards Bethlehem. So you can see the baby Jesus.
00:02:14 Andrew
I know the show is called Angel.
00:02:16 Brandon
Yes, it's all about this vampire is very acute vampire.
00:02:24 Andrew
Ohh gosh, well, if you're obtuse, you won't get that joke equilateral.
00:02:27 Brandon
Exactly.
00:02:31 Andrew
That's just another.
00:02:32 Andrew
Word that has to do with triangles and angles.
00:02:37 Brandon
You know you made three good points there.
00:02:44 Andrew
Well, that was very complimentary of you.
00:02:47 Brandon
Oh.
00:02:53 Andrew
Well, it was worth.
00:02:54 Andrew
A try.
00:02:54
Yep.
00:02:56 Andrew
Let's see what else other things to say other than triangle puns.
00:03:02 Brandon
Opening day for LD every day.
00:03:07 Andrew
Yeah, yeah, there's actually 1 opening day. That was remarkable. They've lost promptly the next day and shoot and a shout out, but yeah.
00:03:10 Brandon
Which is surprising.
00:03:14 Brandon
Of course.
00:03:17 Brandon
You know.
00:03:19 Andrew
At least of this recording.
00:03:21 Brandon
Yeah, I'll be there this Thursday, question mark.
00:03:26 Brandon
So if you like it, he's working.
00:03:26 Andrew
Yes, yes, it was. What else happened? Oh, you can now. Well, this is, like, more local stuff, but you can now buy a sports package, like streaming thing to watch and see. You have to rely on your crappy cable provider.
00:03:38 Brandon
That must be nice.
00:03:40 Andrew
I will say the nice thing that the cracking have done is they do local broadcast now, so they're on King or Kong instead of.
00:03:45 Andrew
Root.
00:03:47 Andrew
But the problem is their feed is hot garbage. It looks like I'm watching like a badly compressed JPEG on the television.
00:03:56 Andrew
I'm like this.
00:03:56 Andrew
Is Major League hockey? Why can we not get better, like better streaming here?
00:04:01 Brandon
Right.
00:04:05 Brandon
Wait, is it hockey season again? Are we?
00:04:07 Andrew
Still.
00:04:09 Brandon
Still what?
00:04:09 Andrew
Hockey season starts like September, October.
00:04:13 Brandon
Wow. Why did I think there's a Stanley Cup already? It's March madness.
00:04:16 Andrew
The crack in are about to wind down because they are not making the blobs easier, but the Stanley Cup Finals run into June. It's crazy.
00:04:24 Brandon
That is crazy. Well, I mean, the NBA Finals stretched that long as well. Sometimes I feel like because it starts now.
00:04:25 Andrew
June.
00:04:32 Brandon
No.
00:04:33 Brandon
And it starts out to Mark Brandis is over and then goes for like 5 months.
00:04:38 Andrew
So I have no concept of when basketball is like there's no sport. I'm less interested in watching on TV than basketball.
00:04:45 Brandon
Here we go.
00:04:46 Andrew
And I know it's like very popular. I'm like, who watches that? And someone told me it was you there. Like everybody. It's like I I have no interest, especially lacking A-Team. I guess that makes it.
00:04:56 Brandon
I think that's the reason that I haven't watched basketball since the Sonics were stolen from us and renamed as the.
00:05:02 Brandon
Oklahoma City Thunder.
00:05:06 Andrew
Yeah, they should call him the twister, you know.
00:05:07 Brandon
Yeah.
00:05:10 Brandon
Twister.
00:05:12 Andrew
Oklahoma twisters.
00:05:14 Brandon
The twisted sisters.
00:05:17 Andrew
Something about tornadoes that'll make your head spin.
00:05:24 Brandon
We're not in Kansas anymore.
00:05:27 Andrew
Funnily enough, OK, figure this out with these puns.
00:05:32 Andrew
These fun things, what else is happening? How are our civil liberties being eroded today?
00:05:38 Brandon
Is that the weekly feature?
00:05:40 Brandon
Now.
00:05:41 Andrew
Sure, why not talk talk about anymore.
00:05:44 Brandon
I mean, yeah, it's all we all Dan and I both got invited to Pete Hegseth's group chat on signal and you know.
00:05:55 Andrew
Did you read that chat?
00:05:55 Brandon
Sure. We're named Jeff.
00:05:56 Brandon
For Jeffrey Goldstein. Yes, yes, I did.
00:05:59 Andrew
Uhm.
00:06:01 Andrew
First of all.
00:06:03 Andrew
Never mind. I'm not gonna go there. No, I think what I was trying.
00:06:05 Andrew
To say is.
00:06:06 Andrew
If you well, that's true.
00:06:07 Brandon
Don't agreement uninvited. You're going to get a warm welcome welcome.
00:06:14 Andrew
Yeah, I was just going to say if you.
00:06:17 Andrew
If you read the whole chat.
00:06:18 Brandon
I uh, no. I just just saw some of the.
00:06:22 Andrew
It's like a weird alternative language that honestly kind of creeped me out.
00:06:27 Brandon
The fact that people.
00:06:28 Brandon
Will learn obviously using more Gen. Z slang than we are.
00:06:31 Andrew
It it really creeped me out? I didn't.
00:06:33 Andrew
I didn't like the chat.
00:06:35 Brandon
Opsec.
00:06:36 Andrew
Like strong efforts or like good, good job or they didn't say good job. I don't know what they said.
00:06:44 Brandon
It's weird that there's a good job. Yeah. Or they used emojis to, like be like, ohh, that police got bombed, yo. Yeah.
00:06:56 Andrew
So I don't know that was fun.
00:07:00 Andrew
What else? No, like, OK, we're going to revisit this again, maybe I don't need.
00:07:06 Andrew
To revisit again.
00:07:10 Brandon
And that was in 1980s critical hour.
00:07:14 Brandon
Thank you for listening to the podcast, and we'll see you after we're canceled.
00:07:18 Andrew
Yeah, well, I mean.
00:07:20 Andrew
I don't think I don't think making a comment about how I think there's like underlying anti-Semitism in the far right Conservative party in this in this country is a wrong statement I think like.
00:07:32 Brandon
No.
00:07:34 Andrew
Christian Christian feel pressure to like side with Israel and sort of like protect Israel but and believes that at the end.
00:07:36 Brandon
Christine.
00:07:43 Andrew
Of the day.
00:07:45 Andrew
There probably is some ingrained antisemitism in those far right groups in our country. I mean, I think that's true.
00:07:51 Brandon
Yeah. They consistently say stuff about like how.
00:07:56 Brandon
They quote UN quote, sorry, they are in control of the media and Hollywood and.
00:08:06 Brandon
They have Jewish and they have Jewish space, lasers and control the weather.
00:08:06 Andrew
Just because they're super talented at that, like that's.
00:08:14 Andrew
And also.
00:08:16 Andrew
That there's a lizard people under the Denver airport controlling everything.
00:08:22 Brandon
Well, I believe that I saw. I saw some blink with their second I saw is in.
00:08:28 Andrew
Yeah, like they blinked sideways and should go up and down. No, it's it's crazy. So, anyway, moving on, I think we've done 10 minutes of just nonsensical Babble.
00:08:28 Brandon
Denver yeah. Mm-hmm.
00:08:36 Brandon
Yeah. I mean if that wasn't forward to you, here's something that's going to be even more or if it we didn't have a big reboot to two weeks in a row, I think I teased us last week. The Powerpuff Girls CW TV show trailer leaked onto the Internet.
00:08:55 Brandon
I guess two weeks ago at this point, so because we we show original and then review, Andrew, should I change the format for this one because we don't know what The Powerpuff Girls is. It's a 90s cartoon.
00:09:11 Andrew
It's been a long time.
00:09:11 Andrew
Since I watched anything to do with it though.
00:09:14 Brandon
OK, let's start with the OG then just so you can see how how.
00:09:19 Brandon
Far it falls so while I couldn't find a Cartoon Network problem, that wasn't weird because that's what the Cartoon Network was.
00:09:28 Brandon
Back in the day, I found a white TV promo of 37 promo for The Powerpuff Girls, which we'll be watching right now.
00:09:39 Power Puff Girls Trailer
May I have your attention please?
00:09:42 Power Puff Girls Trailer
Girls are back with the powers of.
00:09:44 Power Puff Girls Trailer
Ohh, now three amazing new languages including Spanish foreign film and English and now Professor Utonium. Cheers for no reason whatsoever.
00:10:04 Power Puff Girls Trailer
For girls today at 4:00.
00:10:05 Andrew
What am I watching?
00:10:09 Brandon
That was just a crazy commercial for Powerpuff Girls on Canadian TV.
00:10:16 Andrew
I thought my kids were like.
00:10:19 Andrew
Kind of crazy like YouTube videos are like that where they're all over the place and very chaotic and like bouncing from scene to scene. I'm like, back when we were kids, we watch shows that actually had a plot in the story and that, like, had a long form now. So it's been the same. It's just on YouTube now.
00:10:31 Brandon
Not true. Mm-hmm.
00:10:32 Brandon
Yep, so The Powerpuff Girls is an American superhero anime television series produced by Hanna-barbera and later Cartoon Network. The show centers on blossom, bubbles, and Buttercup, 3 kindergarten aged girls with superpowers. They live in a fictional city of Townsville with their father and creator, a scientist named professor, Professor Utonium, and are frequently.
00:10:53 Brandon
Held upon by the city's mayor to help fight nearby criminals and other enemies using their.
00:10:57 Brandon
Worries.
00:10:58 Andrew
It's funny they call the fictional city of Townsville and sort of a fictional city of Cityville, or a fictional town of Townsville.
00:11:01 Narrator
Yes.
00:11:05 Brandon
Exactly. I think that's part of the joke. And they do say the fictional city of Townsville, if I remember correctly in the show. And then let's see.
00:11:20 Brandon
It premiered in January or November of 1998 on Cartoon Network after having a couple of pilots since the creator was at Cal Arts in 1990.
00:11:34 Brandon
2.
00:11:35 Brandon
It's aired for six seasons with three specials and.
00:11:39 Brandon
Feature film with the final episode airing on March 25th, 22,005. That's with the total 78 episodes. Yep.
00:11:47 Andrew
I need to call this out. It says that.
00:11:51 Andrew
Then McCracken submitted his student filmed a Cartoon Network who aired the series, refined pilot meat, fuzzy lumpkins. So there is this local realtor named.
00:12:01 Andrew
Greg. Greg Perry, Greg Perry, and.
00:12:03 Brandon
Uh.
00:12:06 Brandon
Brother Steve Harry.
00:12:07 Andrew
Killer mentioned that the.
00:12:09 Andrew
Growing up, they referred to him as fuzzy lumpkins.
00:12:12 Brandon
Yes, the.
00:12:13 Andrew
That's so random.
00:12:15 Brandon
no
00:12:19 Andrew
When I'm secretly what I'm worried about is you're gonna find out that that was secretly not kosher, so to speak, for them to be saying.
00:12:27 Brandon
Well, fuzzy lumpkins was one of the first Powerpuff girl villains. He was a a kind of a redneck stereotype, except he's a purple, hairy man with a.
00:12:46 Brandon
Like Sasquatch looking guy with with antennae, there's blue overall overalls and has kind of a blunderbuss style shotgun that he.
00:12:57 Andrew
Ohh yeah OK, this is funny. Blunderbuss style shotgun. Yeah, fortunately, it does not appear to be offensive. Thank goodness. That's not to what I was suggesting.
00:13:01 Brandon
Yes.
00:13:08 Brandon
Gotcha.
00:13:13 Brandon
That's the total 78 episodes. In addition to pilots, special film 10th Anniversary Special Special episode and community computer animation, there's also spin-off media, including any three CD soundtracks, home video collection.
00:13:18 Andrew
Pilot the copilot.
00:13:30 Brandon
Comic books, video games reboot series in 2016 and an upcoming reboot series. I think honestly it's airing on Max. Let's see if I know anything about that.
00:13:44 Brandon
Nope, just in production. And yeah, they have been nominated for six Emmys, 9 Annies, and the Kids Choice Award during their run. And the plot revolves around the three kids I mentioned, blossom, bubbles, and buttercup. They each have their own singular.
00:14:04 Brandon
Attitude bubbles is kind of the airy, bubbly 1 blossom is kind of the steering leader in buttercup is the angry tomboy.
00:14:16 Brandon
Yeah. Hmm.
00:14:19 Brandon
It's kind of similar to the Power Rangers style setup. You know villain shows up, they fight it and whatever and.
00:14:28 Andrew
Going to deal with age appropriate issues that.
00:14:32 Andrew
Others of that age group would.
00:14:33 Andrew
Face.
00:14:34 Brandon
Exactly. It's a superhero show for kids. They. Yeah. And then.
00:14:46 Brandon
The CW thought this would be a good idea.
00:14:48 Andrew
Already have a horrible feeling.
00:14:52 Power Puff Girls Trailer
Alright, blossom. Ohh boy.
00:14:55
Due to daylight savings.
00:14:56 Power Puff Girls Trailer
Buttercup was constantly.
00:14:57 Andrew
Oh boy.
00:14:57 Power Puff Girls Trailer
Rebellious. I'm not wearing that dress anymore. It's gender normative and ask ugly.
00:15:02 Power Puff Girls Trailer
And bubbles go get a pants on one fateful day, the girls made a fatal error.
00:15:03 Andrew
Wait, someone actually created this to promote something?
00:15:08 Brandon
This is a pilot.
00:15:13 Power Puff Girls Trailer
Costing Mojo, his life in the wake of disaster, possum ran away. Buttercup became a real hero, and bubbles will. She made it all the way to Hollywood Blvd.
00:15:17 Andrew
I'm in awe of how we win this.
00:15:26
Hi, I'm bubbles. Everybody wants to talk.
00:15:29 Power Puff Girls Trailer
To fake teasers.
00:15:31 Brandon
Well, The Powerpuff Girls, just seven years later.
00:15:33
Those are coming to town.
00:15:35 Power Puff Girls Trailer
Are The Powerpuff Girls reteaming?
00:15:36 Power Puff Girls Trailer
Hell no, I am never caping for Townsville again.
00:15:40
The three B's back in Townsville.
00:15:43 Brandon
Done please.
00:15:44
Miss up yet? But I have reason to believe.
00:15:46
That deafness may be returning.
00:15:46 Andrew
Apparently the he's not counting on that scrums reboot to do anything.
00:15:56 Narrator
In a sweeping reversal of fate, The Powerpuff Girls are beloved again in Townsville.
00:16:01
You're my daughters. 1st and your happiness is all.
00:16:03
That matters.
00:16:05
Really sorry for accusing you that of mass terrorism.
00:16:08
Yeah.
00:16:08 Power Puff Girls Trailer
Is she flirting?
00:16:10
I guess we're even.
00:16:12
I mean, we're we are not even. I mean just like.
00:16:12 Andrew
Going the Republicans are not going to like this show.
00:16:22 Brandon
Yeah, that was.
00:16:25 Brandon
The failed the promo for failed Powerpuff Girls pilot.
00:16:33 Brandon
So background on this on in 2028, August of 2020, live action television series based on Powerpuff Girls was announced at to be in development at The CW. It was it would depict blossom, bubbles and buttercup as disillusioned 20 somethings.
00:16:50 Brandon
Resentful losing their childhood to fighting crime and faced with the choice of reuniting when the world being some more than ever.
00:16:57 Andrew
So I think they were hoping for this to be like a nostalgia thing, like the people who watch the original show would then watch this. I don't.
00:17:02 Andrew
Think that's just a band of audience?
00:17:04 Brandon
I mean, this was the peak of the air over, or actually might have been started down South of the arrow overs and.
00:17:12 Brandon
All the superhero stuff on on The CW at the time.
00:17:18 Andrew
But boy, this pitch. OK, there's dissolution 20 somethings which.
00:17:19 Brandon
Yeah, the original creator wasn't involved.
00:17:24 Brandon
Which does take the. I mean, that's the bread and butter of The CW. Disillusion to teens, or 20 somethings doing sexy crime fighting. That's.
00:17:33 Andrew
They just. I just don't think it's relevant to.
00:17:36 Andrew
The age group.
00:17:36 Andrew
That we watch it, that's the problem.
00:17:37 Andrew
No.
00:17:39 Brandon
Yep, uh. Let's see. Uh.
00:17:43 Brandon
The yeah, a pilot was officially ordered in February of 2021, and they cast Chloe Bennett from Agents of SHIELD as.
00:17:58 Brandon
Blossom dove Cameron? Not that dove Cameron. The other dove Cameron.
00:18:03 Andrew
Ohh yeah, of course. Common name John Smith essentially.
00:18:05 Brandon
No, dove Cameron, from Disney Channel's Liv and Maddie and the descendants.
00:18:16 Brandon
For bubbles and against newcomer Young Perrault as buttercup and then they cast Donald Faison as professor Utonium professor who Drake Utonium.
00:18:35 Brandon
I guess I didn't see the Drake stuff in the room. And then, yeah, production of pilot began on April 7th of 2021. And this is also during the lockdown, I guess from the timeline correctly, yeah.
00:18:47 Andrew
It shows.
00:18:52 Brandon
Three in May of 2024, CW announced the pilot would be worked off cycle with the cast and crew remaining on board, and then the script was later leaked. So overwhelmingly negative reviews on social media on August of 2021, Chloe Bennett dropped out of the project.
00:19:13 Brandon
Scheduling conflicts and then May 2022 it's was said to be in some stage redevelopments and then a year later they announced that the series had been cancelled by the new owners, Nexstar Media Group.
00:19:30 Brandon
Yeah. And then on March 6th of 2025, a full length trailer, the series pilot was leaked by Lost Media Busters on YouTube. It was later taken down by Warner Brothers and team at that same day.
00:19:32
Wow.
00:19:43 Brandon
So Andrew, I don't know if this is a hard choice, but.
00:19:50 Brandon
Which of the two would you rather want?
00:19:53 Andrew
That was one of the worst things we've ever watched on this podcast.
00:19:57 Brandon
That was bad.
00:19:58 Brandon
I mean, it was the reason why it wasn't turned into a show clearly.
00:20:00 Andrew
Yeah, yeah. I mean, you gotta give pilots a little bit of leeway because like, sometimes the pilot gets reshot and, like, redone that was.
00:20:07 Brandon
Yeah. And obviously the the CGI wasn't finished. It was very green screeny.
00:20:13 Andrew
That was rough, and I'm also just offended by the pandering. Like it's it's offensive.
00:20:19 Brandon
By the are you talking about pandering to?
00:20:26 Andrew
It's just such a bad idea. Well, they're not even pandering to the right crowd. It's the problem like we're now.
00:20:27 Brandon
Millennials or pandering through?
00:20:35 Andrew
In our in our 30s, when our not our 20s, so they're relying on a group of people 10 years or 15 years younger than us, who probably didn't really watch the original show, latching on to it, you're not going to, you're not going to pull them in unless it's good. It's not. So it's really ill conceived from the from the the start.
00:20:37 Brandon
3rd mid.
00:20:37 Brandon
Yeah.
00:20:55 Brandon
It has Turk from Scrubs, though.
00:20:58 Andrew
Yeah, OK. Like that it was in like commercials and was in Scrubs and now we'll be in Scrubs again.
00:21:04 Brandon
Yes, and scrub space commercials.
00:21:09 Andrew
Yes. So there you go anyway that looks terrible. I would watch. I would watch the cartoon by far many times before I'd watch this hot garbage. That was the failed reboot.
00:21:23 Brandon
Yeah. I mean, as much as I love Chloe Bennett and Donald Faison.
00:21:28 Brandon
And team drama 20, something drama CW shows at that time, Riverdale. Anything else was that was bad, that would that that was bad. I would not have watched that.
00:21:46 Brandon
Yeah, some of that, that puts the kibosh on The Powerpuff Girls reboot for us. Thank you for coming to our Ted talk.
00:21:56 Andrew
Alright, well, let's take a break.
00:22:00 Andrew
And now back to the show. Well, let me guess, we're doing a quiz to determine which Powerpuff Girl we are. Well, it's almost like we've done this before or something like it.
00:22:02 Brandon
All right.
00:22:07 Brandon
Yeah.
00:22:09 Brandon
But it's a brand new BuzzFeed quiz that came out on the first of the year. Or they just updated it on the first of the year, which means at least some of the images still work. Yeah, BuzzFeed staff with the sod has.
00:22:29 Brandon
If you were a powerpuff.
00:22:30 Brandon
Girl, which one would you be?
00:22:33 Andrew
Do not read this entire intro. Oh my God.
00:22:35 Brandon
Right.
00:22:36 Brandon
There was always a good time for power for girl power, which is why the power Puff girls continues to live rent free in our minds over 1/4 century after bursting onto the scene, the Crime Fighting Trio forever changed the Saturday morning cartoon line of teaching little girls that they had the potential to save the world and Skinny 90s kid. And they'll tell you how watching the half of girls.
00:22:54 Brandon
Adventures is a core memory.
00:22:57 Brandon
In case you weren't wrong, in case you need a refresher, the iconic 3 sum is made-up of buttercup, the tough as nails fighter bubbles, the ultra sweet beauty, and blossom, the fearless leader. While the sisters make the perfect team and regularly save the world before bedtime, it's only natural to gravitate towards 1 character more than the others. Don't worry, we'll until Professor you Tony him.
00:22:59 Andrew
Yeah.
00:23:17 Brandon
Whether you relate to Blossoms, eldest sister energy or the field buttercup's brat vibes on a spiritual level. Oh, she's green. It's time to figure out what power puff girl you truly are. Take this clothes to unlock the history. I'll let you.
00:23:31 Andrew
The most times another reboot, what's the main ingredient in your personality? Is it a teaspoon of heat, a cup of beauty, a tablespoon of love or?
00:23:33 Brandon
Yes.
00:23:40 Andrew
A dash of aggression.
00:23:44 Brandon
I shall point out that the villain that was killed, Mojo JoJo, is revealed at some point in the series to also have been created by Professor at or Professor Utonium.
00:23:56
Prince.
00:23:56 Andrew
Prince Sir Xavier.
00:23:58 Andrew
OK, what's your? What's your main ingredient?
00:24:01 Brandon
I guess I would of these things.
00:24:06 Brandon
I really want to say a teacher of hate, but I guess it would.
00:24:08 Brandon
Be a tablespoon of lunch.
00:24:12 Brandon
Yes.
00:24:13 Andrew
I'm gonna go.
00:24:14 Andrew
With a teaspoon of heat.
00:24:17 Andrew
But only for people who deserve it, as when people are hateful of others.
00:24:21 Brandon
OK, what is your favorite season? Spring, summer, fall or winter?
00:24:25 Andrew
It's summer for me. I'm just a summer guy.
00:24:31 Brandon
Yeah. Well, I'm.
00:24:37 Brandon
I I don't know. I don't think I have one. I'll. I'll do spring because it's not like hot yet.
00:24:43 Andrew
Yeah, sure.
00:24:44 Brandon
Uh.
00:24:45 Andrew
Pick a useless superpower. Being able to fly, but only for 20 feet at a time. Being able to time travel, but only to the worst day of your life.
00:24:55 Andrew
Being able to move objects with your mind a few inches at a time and being able to produce odorless farts.
00:25:06 Brandon
Flying would be fun, but I've always wanted force powers, so being able to move objects with my mind a few inches out of time would be fun.
00:25:15 Andrew
UM.
00:25:20 Andrew
I would say being able to time travel because even if you went to.
00:25:22 Andrew
The worst day of your life you could still figure out the lottery numbers.
00:25:25 Brandon
That's a good point.
00:25:26 Brandon
Wait.
00:25:28 Brandon
Ohh that help.
00:25:30 Andrew
You win the lottery.
00:25:31 Brandon
Oh, in the past. Yeah, OK, sure. But like once.
00:25:34 Andrew
And then you would lose your mind and all the money, and then become featured on my lottery dream home or whatever on HDTV.
00:25:43 Brandon
You know, on the show, what are you hungry for right now? Chocolate mozzarella sticks, a burger or fruit?
00:25:49 Andrew
I gotta be honest, I'm always hungry for mozzarella sticks at any time. That's the thing. It's like, do you want to eat 6 string cheeses? No, thank you. What if we bread them deep, fry them and serve them with marinara sauce? Yes, absolutely.
00:26:05 Andrew
I'm going to go with Mott sticks.
00:26:07 Brandon
As soon as this is 1030 at night, I would like some dessert and would.
00:26:12 Brandon
Like chocolate, please.
00:26:14 Andrew
OK. If you could rename The Powerpuff Girls, what would you call them? Celia, Delia and Amelia Beyoncé Kelly and Michelle.
00:26:22 Andrew
April, May and June were Harry, Ron, and Hermione.
00:26:26 Andrew
Or Hermione, if you will.
00:26:27 Brandon
OK, I said that once when we were 10.
00:26:30 Andrew
I was like, I'm just, I just say.
00:26:32 Andrew
That.
00:26:33 Brandon
OK.
00:26:33 Andrew
I don't know. I got that from you.
00:26:38 Andrew
That's how it's spelled.
00:26:40 Brandon
Right. Never heard it aloud. I think it would be funny if they were named after Destiny's Child.
00:26:49 Brandon
But that's going to be.
00:26:50 Andrew
Which is Celia, Delia and Amelia.
00:26:52 Brandon
Yes. And I feel like that's gonna. That's gonna give me.
00:26:57 Andrew
So you wanna go Beyoncé? Kelly? Michelle, I'm going. Celia. Delia. Amelia. Cause I like the you've got the, the the. Yeah, you know.
00:26:58 Brandon
Monica, yes.
00:27:02 Brandon
In this.
00:27:05 Brandon
Choose your favorite dinner. These aren't.
00:27:08 Brandon
Peanut butter and Jelly.
00:27:10 Brandon
Pizza, lasagna or salad?
00:27:13 Andrew
That PB and J looks unruly. That is a chaotic PB and J.
00:27:16 Brandon
Hmm.
00:27:17 Brandon
MHM.
00:27:18 Andrew
The pizza looks fake lasagna looks OK. That's how it looks.
00:27:25 Andrew
Lasagna.
00:27:27 Brandon
Yeah, I'll go pizza.
00:27:31 Brandon
Yeah, I just turned my stomach.
00:27:31 Andrew
Finally, choose some dessert. Is it cookies, ice cream cake or snicker noodles? It's worth noting the cookies, ice cream and cake are all deeply chocolate, and the sticker doodles are obviously not.
00:27:34 Brandon
Ohh yeah.
00:27:38 Brandon
OK.
00:27:42 Brandon
But I'd also like to point out that cookies include snicker doodles.
00:27:46 Andrew
True. Also there are four. There are three power puff girls and four choices for everything, so I don't.
00:27:51 Andrew
Know what that means?
00:27:52 Brandon
Not done it in the beginning.
00:27:54 Andrew
Ohh can you be a utonium?
00:27:57 Brandon
No, no, I was. I was assuming you could be mojo JoJo because of the the hate thing.
00:28:03 Andrew
All right, so the new.
00:28:04 Andrew
1.
00:28:05 Brandon
Right now I would like some ice cream.
00:28:09 Andrew
That cake looks bomb. No, the cake.
00:28:11 Brandon
Nice.
00:28:13 Brandon
Oh.
00:28:13 Andrew
Right. So.
00:28:16 Andrew
I got buttercup. You're the hot head of the group because you act on your instincts and try not to overthink things. You're ambitious and aggressive in your professional life, but at the end of the day, there's no one who's a more loyal friend than you are.
00:28:18 Brandon
Oh.
00:28:30 Brandon
Ohh.
00:28:32 Brandon
I got blossom as a natural born leader. You are a.
00:28:36 Brandon
You are a.
00:28:36 Brandon
Practical patient and always use your head to make any big decisions. You always have a plan for everything and are usually counted on as the mom of the group, but every once in a while you know to let your hair down and truly enjoy yourself with the company of trusted friends. That was me.
00:28:51 Brandon
Putting my hair down.
00:28:53 Andrew
Yeah.
00:28:55 Brandon
It just sounds like the same thing. I'm just gonna quickly retake this to see if we get about JoJo. If we go with all the angry answers since with hate winter over those farts.
00:29:00
For our.
00:29:10 Brandon
A burger, I guess.
00:29:12
Sure.
00:29:14 Brandon
Leave hotter peanut butter and Jelly bubbles and snicker doodles. Nope, that got me buttercup.
00:29:24 Andrew
Hmm. Suspicious.
00:29:27 Brandon
Yeah, well I tried any. Any other thoughts on Powerpuff Girls?
00:29:36 Andrew
I guess not. I never really watched it. I don't intend to, and the reboot was a horrible idea.
00:29:45 Brandon
There. Well, if you could reboot a childhood cartoon show into a live action CW drama about.
00:29:54 Brandon
Direction is 20 somethings. Which one would you pick Andrew?
00:30:00 Andrew
The the wait.
00:30:01 Andrew
The first one.
00:30:03 Brandon
No. If if you could pick another cartoon to do a similar style, bad CW live action interpretation.
00:30:15 Andrew
Dexter's laboratory.
00:30:17 Brandon
OK, I was looking at Rugrats cause team, yeah.
00:30:20 Brandon
OK.
00:30:24 Brandon
Teen babies?
00:30:25 Andrew
Based on the comments, which is what I was reading why I was listening to you, it was. It only gives you the three one got.
00:30:29 Brandon
Yes.
00:30:31
I.
00:30:32 Brandon
I got buttercup again. Yep.
00:30:34 Andrew
Yeah. Well, and the the general comments are wow, everyone's buttercup. Oh, there you go. Mean not everyone but a lot of people.
00:30:42 Brandon
That's hilarious.
00:30:44 Brandon
Yes.
00:30:44 Andrew
Yeah. So there you have it.
00:30:47 Brandon
Alright, don't get bubbles.
00:30:50 Brandon
One person got bubbles alright.
00:30:52 Andrew
Job was.
00:30:54 Brandon
