00:00:00 Brandon
See if it goes away. For me it comes back.
00:00:00 Andrew
Why don't you?
00:00:01 Andrew
Just tap on it. Just tap on it.
00:00:03 Andrew
Wouldn't that give you a spike?
00:00:05 Brandon
Yes, it would.
00:00:06 Brandon
Why have I never done?
00:00:07 Brandon
That in the five years we've been doing this.
00:00:09 Andrew
Podcast hey, my voice is somewhat back to normal.
00:00:14 Brandon
Yeah, that sounds good.
00:00:15 Narrator

Join your hosts as they relive the pop culture that shaped a generation.
00:00:32 Narrator
And the parts.
00:00:33 Narrator
That many people wish they could forget, listen into the conversation about how the decade defined those who spent their childhood there and how it shaped them as adults. So.
00:00:46 Narrator
Turn down the grunge and dial up the Internet. Let's get started. It's time for namely 90s.
00:00:58 Andrew
That's right you listened to, namely 90s. My name is Andrew and over there is Brandon. You can find us online game thenineties.com or on Instagram and Blue Sky in the 90s.

00:01:23 Brandon
Yes, sometimes.
00:01:26 Brandon
Yes, because.
00:01:28 Brandon
No, we're just honest. We don't have time for it anymore. Do you?
00:01:32 Andrew
No, frankly not. I have 17,000 jobs. It was nice when I was unemployed for like 3 weeks, but I mean, you were employed and now we're both gainfully and overly employed. So yeah.
00:01:44 Brandon
Yep, so much responsibility, but here you are. Alas, A lass. And then I'm going to be.
00:01:57 Brandon
Needing to record the second episode after this for reasons and then some.
00:02:00 Brandon
Reasons you'll hear.
00:02:01 Brandon
In the recording and maybe the following recording, who else? We have another, you know this final season, this final season, 1990s is brought to you by boot or reboot. I think that's that might just be how we we cross the goal line maybe at the end of.
00:02:16 Brandon
Our friend up said we asked do we boot or reboot?
00:02:21 Brandon
Yeah. Yes.
00:02:22 Andrew
It's just a book or a reboot podcast. We could start a podcast called Boot or Reboot.
00:02:29 Brandon
We we we're just rebranding it right now, perfect.
00:02:33 Brandon
And also you could believe it's the amount of stuff that they just like they do. The problem is it's a visual medium. So our our audio only listeners don't get to see the full trailers which is.
00:02:45 Andrew
Yeah. Although I think it's funny, like popular podcasts. Some of them are just now adding video, and they're like podcasts have to do videos like, and we're doing it for a long time ago.
00:02:53 Brandon
Let's finish.
00:02:54 Andrew
Probably before we needed it with.
00:02:54 Brandon
Yeah.
00:02:55 Brandon
Ohh yeah I.
00:02:57 Brandon

00:03:07 Andrew
Hello YouTube.
00:03:11 Brandon
90s minute anymore.
00:03:13 Brandon
But yeah, and it's the people of the future that somehow just stumble across this episode.
00:03:18 Brandon
For more reason.
00:03:20 Brandon
Thanks. Well, thanks for.
00:03:21 Brandon
Listening. We're we're we're done, but.
00:03:25 Brandon
If you want to see more of us.
00:03:27 Brandon
I don't know if I understand social media.
00:03:27 Andrew
Yeah. Yeah. Please note many of the remarks I've made out of context may sound bad, but do you know they are sarcastic and tongue in cheek and making fun of the Republicans?
00:03:38 Andrew
Also, my views do not represent those of my employer.
00:03:38 Brandon
Right.
00:03:41 Brandon
09.
00:03:42 Andrew
Yeah.
00:03:45 Brandon
Yeah. Although yeah. Yeah. So what Outlanders thing do you want to see this weekend?
00:03:55 Andrew
How are our civil liberties being being eroded this week? Let's see. First of all, my voice is back. That's good mostly.
00:04:03 Brandon
Yeah, little horse.
00:04:07 Andrew
Yeah, I had a little horse in my throat. Let's see. Where were we here? Yeah, how our civil liberties being? Ohh. Well, isn't it cool how, like the president and Congress and all the billionaire cronies can insider trade with impunity. And we literally put Martha Stewart in jail.
00:04:27 Andrew
More it.
00:04:28 Brandon
MHM.
00:04:29 Andrew
Come on.
00:04:31 Brandon
But she had her own born crying lane. So.
00:04:34 Andrew
That's true. Kind of like Martha Stewart.
00:04:36 Brandon
We're exciting your favor.
00:04:37 Andrew
Yeah, she's cool. She's cool.
00:04:39 Brandon
Yeah, I would. I would smoke a doobie with Martha Stewart. Like the Snoop Dogg does.
00:04:46 Andrew
Yeah, between Martha, Martha Stewart and Ina Garten, AKA the Barefoot Contessa. Or like the moms of cooking at the cooking channel, although apparently the Barefoot Contessa is not very nice, but she is.
00:04:50 Brandon
What?
00:04:57 Andrew
An older white lady from the Hamptons, like, apparently she refused to to do a appearance for the Make a wish foundation.
00:05:06 Brandon
You know, she's just drinking coke. Like why? Why would a kid want to shoot? I mean, I was like.
00:05:11 Andrew
I don't know cause.
00:05:12 Andrew
We love, I know. But you know, don't never.
00:05:15 Andrew
Meet your heroes, I guess.
00:05:16 Brandon
True. Although I'm not big being given.
00:05:18 Brandon
A plane once and he's pretty.
00:05:20 Brandon
Cool.
00:05:21 Andrew
Because your garden is on point.
00:05:24 Brandon
Yeah. Listen, I mean to make a wish, she.
00:05:27 Brandon
Was probably like.
00:05:28 Brandon
I want to go to her house and just go like.
00:05:31 Brandon
Help her garden.
00:05:32 Brandon
And she's like, you were making fun. Yeah.
00:05:34 Andrew
And now anyways, nothing.
00:05:37 Brandon
About some Brad, touch me my vegetables and files.
00:05:43 Brandon
That's huge Muslim.
00:05:44 Andrew
Yeah. Ohh God.
00:05:50 Brandon
Sure.
00:05:52 Andrew
Wow. Wow, what else? Tariffs instituted rolled back again. It's like it's like Walmart commercials in the 90's the rollback commercials.
00:05:55 Brandon

You had that.
00:06:25 Andrew
You had that bouncy :) that would go and like, rub lower the prices.
00:06:29 Brandon
With the rodeo hat. Because it was, I believe it was a 1950s or 60s like television serial.
00:06:36 Andrew
Yeah, I know the the tune.
00:06:40 Andrew
I feel like I'm surprised the Republicans didn't make something where I was like the bounce he had turned out to be, Joe Biden's head and then the prices went up when he went near.
00:06:48 Andrew
Sam.
00:06:49 Brandon
1959 to 1965 Rawhide, the American Western Television series starring Eric Fleming and Clint Eastwood.

00:07:03 Andrew
Is there a thing? A dog?
00:07:04 Andrew
Eats as a treat.

Yes, but also like I think it has to do with cattle ranching, I don't know.

00:08:22 Andrew
Nothing else happened.
00:08:28 Brandon
I feel like we're just losing steam.
00:08:30 Brandon
In general, and oh geez.

00:08:35 Andrew
So we're just getting the content of the episode.
00:08:47 Brandon
The Backstreet Boys are doing a Millennium two album that's coming out in July.
00:08:56 Andrew
Cool.
00:08:56 Brandon
2.0 is it cool?
00:08:59 Andrew
Is it the same album re recorded? Is it new songs? Is it like they're adding other people into the songs?
00:09:05 Brandon
Let's. Let's see. Let's get down to it. We have a billboard article.
00:09:09 Brandon
Never.
00:09:11 Brandon
I'm only 2.0 it's an anniversary album.
00:09:16 Brandon
And they're playing with the sphere. What?
00:09:20 Brandon
It's a revamped version of Millennium, along with, yeah.
00:09:22 Andrew
I knew it.
00:09:25 Brandon
Apparently they revealed it Valentine's Day morning. The anniversary edition for which the group members recreated their iconic album cover futuristic, all white outfits and all will feature remastered versions of all the songs on the original track list, plus a few uncovered demos and some live recordings from the 1999 to 2000.
00:09:25 Andrew
Surprise guests.
00:09:45 Brandon
Into the Millennium World Tour.
00:09:48 Andrew
To be honest, I don't think you need to remaster something from 20 years ago.
00:09:52 Brandon
Right.
00:09:57 Brandon
Into such just.
00:09:57 Andrew
These were pretty heavily mastered back then.
00:09:59 Brandon
Yeah. Does that just apply that the the original like CD select or?
00:10:05 Andrew
No, no, I think it was fine. I think it's just a money grab. But hey, I mean, wouldn't you?
00:10:10 Brandon
Yes.
00:10:12 Brandon
Rock your body, right?
00:10:14 Andrew
Bad.
00:10:15 Brandon
That's right. I'll move back straight straight.
00:10:17 Andrew
I think it is.
00:10:20 Andrew
All right, my jazz hands. I love jazz hands.
00:10:23 Brandon
Critics accuse them of being a flash in the pan. I want it that way.
00:10:28 Brandon
Which was not the song we were singing larger than life.
00:10:32 Brandon
Which was not the song we were singing showing mean you being lonely, which was not the song that we sing and the one. OK, so I.
00:10:44 Brandon
I often say that my first album that I purchased with my own money, it was Jimmy World's Blue American, which is.
00:10:51 Brandon
Technically true, but I did. I did purchase Millennium when we were in like, I don't know the 3rd or 4th grade.
00:11:01 Brandon
Wow.
00:11:01 Brandon
And I guess it came.
00:11:03 Brandon
Out when we.
00:11:03 Brandon
Were in the 3rd, 4th, 5th grade.
00:11:06 Andrew
What year?
00:11:07 Brandon
Uh, nothing.
00:11:09 Andrew
We're gonna party like it's.
00:11:11 Andrew
In 19 and then in 99.
00:11:13 Andrew
They're in 4th grade, I believe.
00:11:15 Brandon
OK. So yeah.
00:11:20 Brandon
Yeah, 1997 was everybody backstreet's back so.
00:11:24 Andrew
Oh wow. Crazy.
00:11:26 Brandon
Yeah.
00:11:28 Brandon
Anyway, Are you ready for the speeder reboot?
00:11:33 Brandon
This poorly and just are you excited for Millennium 2.0?
00:11:34 Brandon
This.
00:11:38 Andrew
I is that the Booter reboot? Not really. You're remastering something that doesn't really need remastering. So cool.
00:11:45 Brandon
Were you a? Were you a?
00:11:50 Brandon
A Backstreet Boys fan, or a missing fan?
00:11:52 Andrew
Why choose just one?
00:11:55 Brandon
Fair, fair.
00:11:56 Andrew
I don't know. I I I would say you will probably Backstreet Boys just by a hair.
00:12:02 Brandon
Same same.
00:12:04 Andrew
We didn't dislike either of them at.
00:12:05 Andrew
Their peak but.
00:12:07 Brandon
I mean, I was Team Backstreet Boys. Obviously I'm Millennium so.
00:12:12 Brandon
Ready for the speech?
00:12:14 Andrew
Let's say yes.
00:12:16 Brandon
You know, for once we are saying for once, this is a great energy. We're bringing this for once. We're not doing a.
00:12:16 Andrew
I'm pretty so bad.
00:12:22 Brandon
Movie. I thought it be fun to do video.
00:12:24 Brandon
Names.
00:12:27 Andrew
I don't think we're recording 2:00 tonight.
00:12:29 Andrew
By the way.
00:12:29 Brandon
Who knows? Who knows?
00:12:31 Andrew
I think I'll die during.
00:12:33 Andrew
This one episode, but let's do it.
00:12:34 Brandon
Probably. And we're going back to an original Gameboy game that I knew we both had. I think you had. You had the.
00:12:44 Brandon
Yellow version question.
00:12:45 Andrew
Hey yellow cause it matched my yellow gameboy color.
00:12:48 Brandon
Nice. Nice. And I had blue to start, but I think eventually got the other two colors because I was a single child and had to trade Pokémon between myself and games I was playing.
00:13:03 Brandon
All right, we're.
00:13:05 Brandon
Going to look at the original commercial for Pokémon Red and Blue right now, sorry this is so small. It's in 240.
00:13:13 Brandon
Enjoy.
00:13:17 Andrew
Hey, little buddy. Wanna ride? Whatever, you know. Whatever.
00:13:26 Andrew
I'll be right back.
00:13:29 Andrew
So the Andy Richter.
00:13:31 Andrew
Where can you catch 150 Pokémon?
00:13:35 Brandon
Looks like.
00:13:37
Get on your.
00:13:38 Andrew
Game Boy, that's where Pokémon for Gameboy is.
00:13:41 Andrew
Here.
00:13:42 Brandon
Packs. You can catch them all.
00:13:42 Brandon
Who's that larger man?
00:13:43 Brandon
Games and systems.
00:13:46 Brandon
He was a bus driver, he.
00:13:49 Brandon
He just loaded a bunch of Pokémon onto a bus. Yes. Sorry, the volume bar just saw the volume volume, so that didn't show much gameplay, so I wanted to show a little gameplay for those of us that can see it.
00:13:51 Andrew
Well, that was loud.
00:13:54 Brandon
Yes.
00:14:04 Brandon
This is from the, I think the Nintendo DS E shop release.
00:14:13 Brandon
And.
00:14:16 Brandon
Yeah, let's let's take another another trip down memory lane.
00:14:28 Andrew
All the nostalgia.
00:14:29 Brandon
I have the music like how good is the music?
00:14:33 Brandon
No.
00:14:35 Brandon
It's like.
00:14:37 Brandon
Taking through the cities all busy.
00:14:40 Brandon
One of those trainers is the the kid that's like I like shorts, I think.
00:14:46 Brandon
Wow. Yeah. Continuity shop? Sure, so.
00:14:51 Andrew
Do you remember that? Wow.
00:14:53 Brandon
Yeah. Nostalgic, nostalgic. And then, Andrew, have you seen Charlie for the newest installment of The Pokémon game coming out in 2025?
00:15:03 Andrew
No, that would be affected by.
00:15:04 Andrew
The tariffs by chance.
00:15:06 Brandon
So actually you, you you are up on things. The Nintendo Switch 2 was originally going up for pre-order on April 9th which we were recording as of recordings. Yes.
00:15:19 Brandon
And in fact, they had to push back the the pre release pre Watergate. The cause of said tariffs and also.
00:15:31 Andrew
Push it real good.
00:15:34 Brandon
Just going to double check that they didn't open pre-orders yesterday because he rolled.
00:15:39 Brandon
Back on those.
00:15:41 Brandon
Ohh look, they are alive. That's fun.
00:15:44 Andrew
Whoops, that's actually why he rolled back the tariffs simply because of the switch.
00:15:46 Brandon
Well, luckily I.
00:15:51 Brandon
Well, luckily I put my interest down via.
00:15:56 Brandon
My Nintendo online account, so maybe I will get it within the next three years.
00:16:00 Andrew
Good times.
00:16:01 Brandon
Yes, OK. I mean, so this is the trailer for the newest installment in the Pokémon franchise. Technically, it's part of Pokémon Legends line, but this would be the second game in Legends.
00:16:18 Andrew
But in VVA.
00:16:19 Brandon
Yeah. Or should we have gone over?
00:16:21 Brandon
You know, let's just walk this trailer.
00:16:22 Andrew
Let's go over what it is, OK? Never mind.
00:16:25 Brandon
Charlie 1st and we'll.
00:16:26 Brandon
Talk about both of them.
00:16:28 Brandon
Yeah.
00:16:29 Andrew
Yeah.
00:16:29 Brandon
All right.
00:16:38 Brandon
So the graphics has changed, so this is certainly the fifth generation city tower and it's based off of.
00:16:40 Andrew
Why are you Michael Jackson in this game? That's what I don't understand.
00:16:53 Brandon
France, Paris. Specifically the city. Oh, yeah. Here's the truly.
00:16:56 Andrew
Literally, the protagonist looks like Michael Jackson.
00:17:03 Andrew
Is that not a girl or is it meant to be ambiguous?
00:17:06 Brandon
I'm going to go, but that one.
00:17:07 Brandon
'S a guy.
00:17:10 Brandon
And he's also standing like Michael Jackson. Oh, wow. He has the like, Michael Jackson's hairline.
00:17:18 Brandon
Found the girl.
00:17:30 Brandon
This is dynamics and now this is my evolution which is a mechanic engineer generation.
00:17:40 Andrew
Like, let's actually.
00:17:41 Andrew
Like.
00:17:42 Brandon
Like this, the battles that you're seeing so.
00:17:50 Brandon
In the Pokémon Legends line.
00:17:55 Brandon
Battles happen in real time.
00:18:00 Brandon
And.
00:18:03 Brandon
This is not actually.
00:18:06 Andrew
Pokémon Czar has been calling now on.
00:18:10 Brandon
Pokémon tsar.
00:18:15 Brandon
All.
00:18:16 Brandon
But let me let me read some information for you. So the first thing we watched was Pokémon Red and Blue Trailers, which is in 1996 for playing game developed by Game Freak I think was released in internationally in 98 and 99 as Pokémon Red and Blue.
00:18:33 Brandon
Low enhanced version was named Yellow Version of Special Pikachu Edition, which is the one Andrew had and that was released in 99/2000.
00:18:45 Brandon
The player controls protagonist from overhead perspective, navigates the fictional region of Canto in a quest to Master Pokémon, battling the rules, becoming the changing of the Indigo League by defeating the eight gym leaders in the top Pokémon. Trainers in the land, the elite Four. Another objective is to complete the Pokedex and gain an in game encyclopedia by obtaining all 151.
00:19:04 Brandon
Pokémon right on the use of the gaming cable, which connects 2 gameplay systems together and allows are going to be traded or battled between games.
00:19:09 Andrew
Ohh yeah, game link was that FireWire or USB.
00:19:13 Brandon
I think it was a USB like a USB maybe.
00:19:17 Andrew
It looks like a USB indeed it's a.
00:19:20 Brandon
Actually, no, actually now you.
00:19:22 Brandon
Mentioned it. I think the game.
00:19:23 Brandon
Like color had a firewall.
00:19:27 Brandon
UM.
00:19:28 Andrew
And she doesn't specify it must be its own proprietary.
00:19:31 Brandon
Ohh yeah, that's probably true.
00:19:33 Andrew
Proprietary.
00:19:36 Brandon
Yeah, you could gaming cable.
00:19:40 Brandon
It looks like a kind of a mash up of a micro USB or USB.
00:19:49 Brandon
But.
00:19:51 Andrew
The only doesn't actually explain it on Wikipedia.
00:19:54 Brandon
It is not in both versions feature the same plot and will likely be played separately. Players must trade between both games obtained all all original 100 to one Pokémon. It has a score of 89% on game rankings and in it was.
00:20:12 Brandon
And the top 100 games of all time from IGN.
00:20:16 Brandon
Jointly selling over 400 million copies worldwide, they got remade for the envoys, fire red and leaf green in 2004, and then most recently for Nintendo switches. Let's go Pikachu and let's go, Evie in 2018. They will also be released on the Virtual Console for the Nintendo 3DS in 2016.
00:20:37 Brandon
To commemorate their twists and adversaries.
00:20:40 Brandon
Ran since new new game is Pokémon Legends ZA. It's not coming 2025 video game by Game Freak and published by Nintendo and Pokémon Company.
00:20:52 Brandon
Full switch and Switch 2. It's a part of the 9th generation of Pokémon Video games, and is a sequel to Pokémon X&Y from 2013, which is a fifth generation game. Sorry, it takes place in Illumina city, which is in the Kalos region, which is based on Paris.
00:21:08 Brandon
France.
00:21:09 Brandon
And.
00:21:12 Brandon
Let's see notes.
00:21:17 Brandon
The Legends uses a real time combat system that takes into account the positioning of the player character, their Pokémon, and the timing of used moves, and allows Pokémon Move, ran and Dodge attacks while in battle.
00:21:32 Brandon
This allows us to do preemptive strikes and et cetera, et cetera, but yeah it's it's it's live man.
00:21:42 Brandon
It's real.
00:21:43 Brandon
You're in it.
00:21:45 Brandon
So Andrew, which would you rather play?
00:21:49 Andrew
The first one hands down.
00:21:51 Brandon
No, all all the way back.
00:21:54 Andrew
Yeah, the the problem, I think that I have with the the newer 1 is.
00:22:00 Andrew
I just.
00:22:01 Brandon
Active battle system.
00:22:01 Andrew
It annoys me that that's the best they're ever going to do with graphics because they choose that art style.
00:22:07 Andrew
And like, they're just not willing to push it first.
00:22:09 Brandon
Of all.
00:22:10 Brandon
Push really very.
00:22:10 Andrew
It. Yeah, I understand. Like the reasoning is it's kind of a cartoony thing that's supposed to look cartoony, but it just feels like why spend so much time advancing the console to put the same crap out, like stop updating the console? Not.
00:22:22 Andrew
Doing anything second.
00:22:24 Andrew
Well.
00:22:26 Andrew
Second of all, I feel like the storyline it just feels very like.
00:22:31 Andrew
The thing I like about those games is like the open world feel. This all happens within one location, so I think it takes away some of the interest and it's all about just ranking up first. It's like.
00:22:36
Hmm.
00:22:40 Brandon
It's a sprawling, sprawling metropolis.
00:22:42 Andrew
Yeah, but like all the side quests and the different environments and things, I just think they they just lost a little bit of the wonder that was the original game, which was the fact you could kind of like it was a traveling Pokémon, always been about traveling, you know, from one place to another, not just within one city. So.
00:22:57 Brandon
Even even in even in the original Gen. 5 game, it wasn't just in this one town. This is like.
00:23:03 Brandon
At the center of the.
00:23:04 Brandon
Map, but it was also like you still traveled from city to city.
00:23:07 Andrew
Yeah. And I don't know why both characters look like Michael Jackson. It's weird.
00:23:10 Brandon
It is astonishing, he said.
00:23:14 Andrew
There you go.
00:23:15 Brandon
Nice.
00:23:16 Andrew
I I did does not look good to me, but I'm sure.
00:23:18 Andrew
It'll be fine like it should be playable.
00:23:20 Brandon
I think it'll be good. I I enjoyed the previous Legends RCS game and.
00:23:27 Brandon
It was, it was. It was refreshing. Compared to the last two generations of Pokémon Games, but once they finally integrated into like a proper like mainline game, which I think they're calling this a mainline game, I'm not sure.
00:23:45 Andrew
I'm also gonna say the name legend Z through A is the stupidest name in flipping history.
00:23:51 Brandon
So that more has to do with the legendary Pokémon that it's based on, Zig Zags, grey Zygarde.
00:23:58 Andrew
Yeah, I get it. But.
00:24:00 Andrew
I mean, come on.
00:24:01 Brandon
Yeah.
00:24:02 Andrew
Legend Zaw Zeta a. Like it just it just does not glow.
00:24:06 Brandon
Fair. That's fair.
00:24:07 Andrew
Sorry guys. Couple of missteps, couple missed queues, probably fine, but the first one happened. How can you go wrong?
00:24:15 Brandon
True. And the maintenance of music.
00:24:15 Andrew
Other than the fact that.
00:24:16 Andrew
It's on. Yeah. I don't know. Music is.
00:24:18 Brandon
Other than the fact that, yeah and right.
00:24:21 Andrew
Chefs kiss. It's there.
00:24:22 Brandon
Chefs.
00:24:24 Brandon
Yes, that's the wrong sign.
00:24:27 Andrew
It is.
00:24:28 Brandon
All right.
00:24:31 Andrew
Very good.
00:24:32 Brandon
Very good. Alright, alright.
00:24:36 Brandon
Should take a break.
00:24:37 Andrew
How about you? You never said yours.
00:24:40 Brandon
Gun to my head.
00:24:41 Brandon
Which one would I ever play?
00:24:43 Brandon
Yeah.
00:24:46 Brandon
Do I have to play it on Game Boy or could?
00:24:48 Brandon
I play it on the switch.
00:24:49 Andrew
Thank you for whatever console you want.
00:24:54 Brandon
I would play this is.
00:24:57 Brandon
Hard because I do want to play.
00:24:58 Brandon
The new game?
00:24:59 Andrew
You want to. There's a difference between wanting to play because it's novel and like, let's say it was the last thing you could play before you died and you had already.
00:25:03 Brandon
Morning.
00:25:05 Brandon
Beauty.
00:25:08 Andrew
It wasn't novelty. You had played both.
00:25:10 Andrew
Already.
00:25:10 Brandon
OK. Then I would go with the classic blue.
00:25:14 Andrew
Yep.
00:25:16 Brandon
There we go. Easy, easy, easy decision.
00:25:21 Brandon
Should take a break.
00:25:22 Brandon
And do a BuzzFeed quiz and.
00:25:23 Brandon
Get get out of here.
00:25:24 Andrew
Let's do it now. Let's go to a break.
00:25:29 Andrew
What we say now it's time for the break.
00:25:33 Andrew
Please listen to a word from these sponsors me on these.
00:25:36 Brandon
Which?
00:25:38 Brandon
I mean, if you're listening to this after we got free hosting for it, post at the end of the show, you did just hear some from an advertisement.
00:25:47 Andrew
What is it simplisafe.com promo code. We don't have a promo code.
00:25:54 Brandon
Sure.
00:25:54 Andrew
Hashtag now the sponsor and now back to the show.
00:25:57 Brandon
Alright, I found a place that asks which Pokémon are you.
00:26:03 Andrew
Ohh yeah, that's a good one. Very broad.
00:26:05 Brandon
From Gabriel H Sunshine a bus headstone.
00:26:08 Andrew
Gotta catch em all.
00:26:10 Brandon
Is updated on the third. I'm not.
00:26:11 Andrew
Very musical today.
00:26:13 Brandon
Pretty sure we didn't do it yet.
00:26:14 Andrew
I don't think so.
00:26:16 Brandon
Oh, Kings Hawaiian rolls to do classic French toast.
00:26:22
Right.
00:26:24 Brandon
I see you. I see you.
00:26:25 Andrew
Honest. So much to read. Come on now.
00:26:28 Brandon
Do you want me to? Do you want to do it?
00:26:29 Andrew
I'll do it.
00:26:31 Andrew
Fans of Pokémon know that all of the pocket monsters are special in their own ways. The TV show expanded on the card games lore, showing audiences what makes each character stand out. Not only does each of them have a different set of attacks, they also have distinct personality traits. For example, youth absolutely loves to yap.
00:26:50 Andrew
Looking at an image of just about any Pokémon, it's it's easy to say.
00:26:55 Andrew
Yes.
00:26:55 Brandon
Card game the card games lore.
00:27:02 Andrew
And so meaning, but which one truly embodies the core aspects of your personality? In other words, which Pokémon are you?
00:27:09 Brandon
It was a video game.
00:27:09 Andrew
You've ever wondered?
00:27:14 Brandon
Sorry.
00:27:15 Andrew
Because you've never wondered whether you're more like a peppy Pikachu and deceptively adorable, Bulbasaur, or the mysterious Mutu you're in just the right place.
00:27:25 Andrew
You know you're in the right place. We have got the quiz for you. Just answer these 7 fun questions and we'll let you know which Pokémon matches your vibe.
00:27:36 Andrew
All right.
00:27:37 Brandon
It was it was a video game that the anime was based off of, not.
00:27:43 Andrew
It's fine, fine fine.
00:27:44 Brandon
No, I they they're burning my childhood, Andrew.
00:27:48 Andrew
Alright, so you, why don't you go with the first question?
00:27:51 Brandon
All right. Where do you live? Pallet town. Veridian city. Pewter city. Ceridian City, Vermillion city. Lavender Town, Cinnabar Island, Fuschia City or Saffron city.
00:28:02 Andrew
Most of these are named after colours.
00:28:04 Brandon
Ohh.
00:28:08 Brandon
I was Cinnabon on a filler.
00:28:10 Andrew
I'm quite partial to.
00:28:16 Andrew
He was a Vermillion city, Hugo Vermillion.
00:28:23 Brandon
Wrong one.
00:28:27 Brandon
You went with the William City. The tenant surges home home base I.
00:28:34 Brandon
I'm.
00:28:37 Brandon
I like to sell it on the city the most, or but not on here. Not on here. I of of all of these, I think I like Lavender Town the best because it has that that that didn't that, like really creepy music.
00:28:40 Andrew
OK. How are you?
00:28:52
OK, good, good.
00:28:57 Brandon
In like a minor key.
00:29:00 Andrew
Alright, choose a gym badge. We have the Boulder Badge, Cascade Badge, Thunder badge, rainbow badge, soul Badge, volcano badge, earth badge, marsh badge, or relic badge.
00:29:16 Brandon
I don't remember what the route badge is from, but it's not one of the original 8.
00:29:19 Andrew
It's like a biohazard Mickey Mouse to me.
00:29:23 Brandon
I can see that.
00:29:24 Brandon
I are you are you just picking it?
00:29:27 Brandon
Off of the look or what?
00:29:29 Andrew
I I will because I don't know Jack about any of this.
00:29:33 Brandon
I'm gonna know if Misty is Cascade badge, because that's the highest I got at the Toys-R-Us Pokémon trading card game thing.
00:29:42 Andrew
Nice.
00:29:46 Andrew
I'm going to be an.
00:29:46 Andrew

00:29:52 Brandon
Grass Pokémon gym badge choose a favorite game, red version blue version. Yellow version. Gold version black version diamond version Ruby version Omega Ruby version or Pokémon X.
00:30:07 Andrew
I think we all know I'm gonna choose yellow version.
00:30:13 Brandon
They have silver and they have gold. They don't have silver on here.
00:30:18 Brandon
I mean, I should choose blue. I had Ruby first diamond.
00:30:28 Brandon
A.
00:30:30 Brandon
You're going to go with gold version.
00:30:35 Brandon
I don't know why it took me so.
00:30:36 Brandon
Long because you get both.
00:30:38 Brandon
Canto and Joto in that one.
00:30:41 Andrew
All right.
00:30:42 Brandon
Have any questions? All right. OK.
00:30:43 Andrew
7.
00:30:46 Andrew
All right, so now my turn to ask a question A.
00:30:48 Brandon
I believe so.
00:30:50 Andrew
Uh, what's your best quality respectfulness honesty.
00:30:55 Andrew
Passion.
00:30:58 Andrew
Passionate inequality, humble. Focused, confident, brave, likable or sexy. Yeah.
00:30:59 Brandon
No, it's not.
00:31:05 Brandon
My best quality of these are. I can't tell if.
00:31:12 Brandon
I am.
00:31:19 Brandon
I don't know. Do you wanna pick for each other? Hang out, right.

And for you, I would.
00:31:40 Brandon
I was gonna say focus until you.
00:31:41 Brandon
Said you're yawning.
00:31:45 Andrew
I'm not a focused person.
00:31:46 Brandon
What's good? Honest.
00:31:49 Andrew
OK. Yeah.
00:31:52 Brandon
What's your greatest weakness?
00:31:54 Andrew
By the way, this is totally out of context.
00:31:56 Brandon
Yes.
00:31:58 Andrew
You know, the people who did that.
00:31:59 Andrew
Show what not to wear.
00:32:01 Brandon
Yes.
00:32:02 Andrew
They have a new show called wear. Whatever the F you want. I'm just like, it's like you're sending mixed messages now.
00:32:08 Brandon
And they're right after each.
00:32:09 Brandon
Other.
00:32:10 Brandon
Seeing contestants, what's your great sweetness, distant, selfish, perfectionist?
00:32:16 Brandon
Hyphen, EST impatient unassertive controlling, stubborn, always late or pushy.
00:32:27 Brandon
I feel like I'm asleep of these.
00:32:28 Andrew
Jesus Christ. Let's see. Should we tell each other or should we?
00:32:33 Andrew
Just choose our.
00:32:34 Brandon
I think we could.
00:32:34 Brandon
Choose our own.
00:32:36 Andrew
I'm ready with impatience.
00:32:38 Brandon
You're stubborn.
00:32:41 Brandon
There.
00:32:45 Brandon
Who's?
00:32:47 Andrew
Who's hardest catch? Casual.
00:32:48 Brandon
Let's.
00:32:50 Andrew
Misty Brock, Gary Oak nurse joy professor Oak Jesse James. Or officer Jenny.
00:33:00 Brandon
You know, I like to meet Steve, but I'm going to go and destroy because, you know, not a child.
00:33:09 Andrew
There. I mean, we're assuming that I'll say like we're the same age as them.
00:33:14 Andrew
You know, I mean, because we were their age when we were kids, but then I don't know, we would be sexualizing them at 12 years old. So now I'm really confused.
00:33:16 Brandon
Yes.
00:33:18 Brandon
Sure.
00:33:22 Brandon
Also true.
00:33:25 Brandon
We're just part of our generations.
00:33:25 Andrew
I also I like the officer. Jenny. I like a woman in uniform, so they they just revealed too much.
00:33:34 Brandon
Take an evolutionary stone, Firestone Waterstone, thunderstone moonstone leaf stone. Sandstone. Shiny.
00:33:40 Andrew
When our powers combined? Oh, that's oh, that was. Oh, no, that was Elon Musk. No, I was doing the ring. Oh, God.
00:33:48 Brandon
But it's out it's cropped out.
00:33:51 Andrew
Yeah, that was that was me doing a.
00:33:52 Andrew
Ring. Ohh dear Lord.
00:33:56 Brandon
Shiny stone dust stone. Dawn stone.
00:33:56 Andrew
We shouldn't smoke.
00:34:00 Brandon

00:34:02 Andrew
The leaf stone either looks like a cheese Danish or something not appropriate.
00:34:05 Brandon
No.
00:34:10 Andrew
I'm sorry to.
00:34:11 Andrew
Get some weird lag, by the way.

And to squeeze the vine.
00:34:41 Andrew
I just got my answer I am.
00:34:45 Andrew
Pikachu yes.
00:34:48 Andrew
Sure, you can be stubborn at times, which is the one you chose. But you also know how to kick some **** when the time is right. You're a strong Pokémon and an even stronger friend. Any Pokémon master would be proud to have you on their team.
00:34:49 Brandon
That's.
00:35:01 Brandon
I have magic heart.
00:35:07 Brandon
Hidden deep within your cozy and uses fish body is a ferocious sea monster just waiting to escape and kick some Pokémon dude, so don't worry.
00:35:17 Brandon
We all come into our own at some point. Your time will come eventually.
00:35:23 Andrew
Oh my God, that is the funniest thing I've ever heard.
00:35:27 Brandon
I hate you so much.
00:35:31 Brandon
