 I don't give a fuck, bitch! Welcome to the first episode of Digi Bro and Best Guy Ever. That's you. Dickin' Boardy Time, baby! Yeah, baby, yeah! Yeah, yeah! We're talking about Rick and Morty, everybody. Season 3. Season 3. You know, the Season 3 premiere came out on April 1st on Adult Swim. It was a big deal. Everybody was excited about it. And we're thinking about maybe talking more about the rest of Season 3. So here we are, starting things off with that episode. Rick and Morty is my favorite show ever. It's just re-watching that episode again just now. It's really hard to argue that that show isn't the most dense with high quality content show anywhere right now. I mean, that's what I love about it. It's so dense. Every single shot has so much going on. It's fantastic. I was a huge fan of the first season, watched it five times. Still haven't really re-watched Season 2. I intended to do that before 3 started. And 3 seemingly had started out of nowhere. But then it hasn't actually. It was just a weird April Fools thing. Confused a shit out of me because I was in Atlanta when it came out. I didn't get the chance to see it. And then every week I was like, Why am I not hearing about the new season of Rick and Morty? Sounds like you were out of it. You didn't tell. I thought I was just missing episodes and no one was telling me somehow. Nah, man. And I was really confused. So let me just talk about how great this was as an April Fools episode. So April Fools every year is terrible because everyone tricks you and says, Hey, I'm going to do this and then I'm not going to do it. And then you're disappointed. Am I the only one who loves April Fools? Yes. We were all complaining about it. But me and the rest of the PCP were all shitting on it. I love April Fools because people always... Well, it depends on who it is. Some people just do some bullshit. But I love when people pull out all the stops to do some crazy shit. Well, that's what makes it good. Like if you follow the old web comment XKCD, Every year he would do some kind of like insane shit, like turn his entire website into a fucking text adventure game or something. Like some crazy programming shit. Well, that's fine. It used to be that websites would really go all out and make like a crazy thing for April Fools day. And it was always exciting to see like what everybody was doing that day. And I historically have always made April Fools videos. But what you're describing is the good side of April Fools. But there is the downside where is people say like, Oh, Half-Life 3 is out. Wow, I'm so excited. Oh, it's not actually out. Okay, fuck you. But what, I mean, but this episode is exactly that. Watch the fucking calendars, people. That's awesome. Everyone loves fucking Rick and Morty. Everyone agrees it's fantastic too. Like on April Fools, get this like loop of the new episode that is so legitimately good and well crafted and has, even the episode itself has a ton of Mr. X as Rick and Morty episodes tend to do. Like this is exactly what an April Fools should be. We're getting more. We're not being cheated or lied to. We're just getting extra stuff. That's what you should celebrate about the day. Yeah, I mean, that's the best way to April Fools is to make an actual prize. Surprised by people by giving them more shit, by making them happy as opposed to pissed off. That's what I like. Though personally, I think you should just know what day it is. It's not hard to know April 1st is coming. I don't know. Maybe because I make a big deal out of it, like I always have plans for April Fools, so I know it's coming. But that just means one day of the year, you just be like, oh, everything's a lie today. No one is telling me the truth today. That's just annoying. I don't want that. Maybe it's a nice change of pace, I guess. I'd fucking get pissed off by it. But anyway, forget that. To me, it's like the classic festivals of the masquerade. No one's themselves today. It's an escape from the normalcy. And everyone can just do... Well, and again, I think it's been hurt by the fact that the internet is now real life. There are real life repercussions of changing everything. Where like 10 years ago, YouTube did a thing where the entire front page, everything linked to Rick Roll. YouTube could never do that now because it would hurt too many people's careers. And it would be a huge fucking deal. So now, April Fool's is always like some lame shit. You have to actually go find it. Click on it and it's like, I already know what it's going to be. I know it's April Fool's Day. You can't fucking trick me today, you know? But I miss when sites would do... I mean, fucking 4chan still does... They'll have a song looping in the background of the entire fucking website for a whole day. And you know what? That is annoying, but 4chan is not really essential for anybody. So that's more okay. It doesn't really interfere with your day. Anyway, Rick and Morty. Yeah, I feel like that's an appropriate interlude to discuss Rick and Morty anyway. Well, I don't know how long we plan for these podcasts to be, but we can go on as long as we need to. It's a pilot episode and we don't know when we're going to be covering the next one, when we're going to be out. No one knows when the episodes are going to be out. And I mean, this episode, like the biggest question on everyone's minds is because it was like Season 2 ended on a huge fucking cliffhanger. How are they going to start off? They have to open Season 3 with something kind of epic. And the show opens up by lampooning this. Of course. It starts off with this joke that they're all in a shoneys and oh, who wants to hear about how I escaped from prison? That would be stupid. I'll even admit, even though I knew I'd heard spoilers for this episode before I watched it, even though I knew that I still had that reaction of like, oh, you motherfucker. But then of course when it turns out to be a lie, it's like, oh, okay. That's exactly that April Fool spirit I love. They act like they're fucking you over and then they give you everything you want it. And it's so great. And the actual shit that Rick does, it turns out it was all part of his fucking plan and they do this whole rigmarole with all this new technology of like mind transferring we haven't seen before. Oh, it's the best. So this episode continues the sort of trend that I saw happening through Season 2 and especially with the ending of Season 2. I feel like Rick and Morty owes a lot to Game of Thrones. I think the way that this show uses brutal violence is sort of like because we are now in a culture where that's like a normal thing on mainstream television, like insanely violent scenes happening today. Has HBO become mainstream television? Or is it just the popularity of the show? Yeah, because HBO now is way more easily accessible and torrents are a thing. Game of Thrones is the most torrented show of all time. I believe it. It had like millions and millions of torrents. Yeah, okay. So everyone's seen it. Everyone has seen Game of Thrones. That's the culture where it now is like that this kind of hyper-violent like crazy dark shit is what gets talked about. I mean, the ending of Season 2 was clearly a Game of Thrones parody. It was a red wedding. It was the red wedding like redone in Rick and Morty. And I just love the way the show, it totally like gets into the headspace of like who is the audience of Rick and Morty? What kind of cultural stuff are we? Because like a lot of the show is in reference to like cultural touchstones and stuff. Like there's lots of movie parodies. There's like a whole episode where they're on the Purge Planet. It's like what would it be like if there's a planet that does the Purge? And the way they dryly and matter-of-factly address like what a real Purge Planet would be, I mean in their lampooning way, it's great. It's wonderful. And so when they do like a red wedding scene, like they know exactly how the audience is going to feel at every step of the way. And the moment that like really got, I mean that episode is fucking amazing. A lot of shit happens in that episode. But the moment that got me the most was right after Bird Person gets shot. Then Rick screams like Bird Person, no! And literally he said that while I was saying no Bird Person! It's like one to one, me and Rick saying it at the same time. And I'm like, because they knew that that's what the audience was going to do. They knew you were going to yell, Bird Person, you know? And so they matched it. And it's like they totally get the ebb and flow of your feelings and stuff. And like- It's well written, man. It's well written. There's so many, like there's so much stuff that they've allowed themselves. This show does what like my little pony fucked up with its background characters. Oh yeah, you're right. It makes you care about them in a real way. I mean in all fairness, it was one episode that was garbage that pretty much ruined that whole thing. What I mean is that like in MLP fandom for everybody who doesn't know because we're a few years out from it and people probably don't know what we're talking about anymore. The fan base of my little pony like really ran with every random fucking background character that was in the show. They all had like fan made backstories and like people had all these ideas about them and like each one was a popular character in their own right because they would show up in the background all the time or have like one line here and there and stuff like that. And so all those background characters were kind of famous and eventually the show writers became aware of this and they kind of tried to do something with it and it was terrible. Granted some people don't agree. You know there were some decent things like the way they handled the fact that Bon Bon had like two canon or like there was a fandom name and a real name. They made her a secret agent with an alias. Like that's one clever way to handle that kind of a thing but there were many things that were bad and shitty. It's just that the episode itself was terrible. The episode was garbage so yeah. And just the general way that they tried to like they're trying to pander to the audience but it's like they're trying to give us what we are saying we want. Rick and Morty knows what we want and gives it to us in ways we don't expect such as it's got all these background characters who people just naturally started caring about. People love Birdperson. People love all these random weird wacky characters. That fucking path dude whose name I forget. Squanch. Squanch yeah. Squanchy. And instead of like giving us some fan service episode or it's like hey it's all your favorite background characters they murder all of them. Yeah. And it makes it even more memorable because it's like instead of just like oh here's Birdperson again we know you love Birdperson here you go have as much Birdperson as you want. No. Like the second or third episode he's in he gets fucking shot and dies. Yeah. And it's like because they know you actually do care about him in this weird way this guy with like two lines when he's such an endearing character that when he gets shot you're like oh no not Birdperson. But it's also that like they can get away with that because it never feels too dark because of the fact that they're all just dumb background characters. Yeah. Like a guy you see a guy get shot whose name is like Shmoopy Doop or something or Poopy Butthole. Mr. Poopy Butthole yeah. Mr. Poopy Butthole you know like it's the scene is like drawing out like this pathos and everything and it's like everyone's crying it's like that like on some level it hits you emotionally because you kind of care about Poopy Butthole. Not to mention. But it's not like they murdered your favorite character who you really care about. And a lot of that has to do with the way that Rick himself is such like an antisocial you know whatever misanthrope and amazing that word right the one who hates people. Yeah. Yeah I was wondering if it's the one who hates man I'm not saying that it's the other thing. But like the way he doesn't give a fuck about anyone and the way that he does react when Birdperson dies and like continually has this relationship with him and he talks about like yeah we fought in the war it's like we're buddies us care about them too and makes their death all the more impactful so from that perspective too it really works. I definitely think that like because Rick is presented as someone who's like so yeah over the edge and like doesn't care about anything yeah anytime he emotes right you it feels serious like it's that much more impactful like when you like the fucking self an episode yeah after dating that girl and having been like cut off oh my god and I knew Jesse freaks out about that episode that one's devastating. Oh my god just because it's like you just go like oh my god it's like yeah he does like that my favorite thing about Rick and Morty and I know Tom Tommy Oliver had a problem with this aspect of the show yeah it was ruining Rick showed so much emotion that's my favorite thing about the show is that there is this like like at heart he is highly empathetic and the reason that he the reason he acts this way isn't because he hates people it's because I think he cares too much about people and he knows that like the universe isn't unchanging unfeeling yeah you know like monsters play it's like caring about people is just gonna lead to pain so don't do it it's like he's a man who's gained the knowledge of a god and is you know aware of how insignificant everything is it's really fucked him up yeah he's like you know how can I bring myself to give a shit about people when I know what's good like that they are nothing you know yeah but then like he can't help himself because he is still human that's true like sometimes he can't help but care you know and like if he really falls in love like he didn't that episode and loses out and and I mean it's not even just that it's also he's drunk and yeah it's you emotional you know and like he's fucked up on drugs and shit and it's like yeah that's the moment when you're like he could have easily killed himself that if he hadn't passed out he really tried he really put his best effort really like did it and just failed the fact that he didn't push yet he went all the way and really tried to do it I was such an intense moment great scene and yeah and then when we see like with this at the end of season 2 when he's like what are you in for and he says everything it's like you know I've he finally realizes you know I can't bring myself to say I don't care about my family but of course of course all this I mean you know we were saying this too but all this you can you can compare to is in parallel to how like him turning himself in at the end of the second season you know to supposedly save his family and like you know give them back the life that he stoned from it was actually I mean it's kind of ambiguous but it seems like it was actually all part of a plan to depose Jerry as patriarch of the family and become like the ruler and get Morty exclusively because he's so evil and fucked up that's the thing about it is that with Rick you can never say for sure and I mean I personally think that like I think that he is ultimately empathetic because we've seen him do it when he tried to kill himself no one was there to witness that there was no benefit to that when he goes back like the first moment we really see Rick act that way is when Morty gets like almost raped by the jellybean king and Rick like when he realizes that Morty's upset he like changes gears and like tries to comfort him and like leads him and then he shoots the jellybean king just out of anger I love the fact that he murdered that guy because he deserved it he didn't push the out well that's one of my favorite scenes in the show because of the fact that it's like it shows that Rick like even though he doesn't care in general like he saw something happening right in front of him to someone he does kind of care about and so he was like well I can do something about this I can kill that guy you know that kind of speaks to a fundamental like psychological you know facet that humans have where we're much more empathetic about things that are directly in front of us as opposed to like news that there are billions of people dying elsewhere well because it just when you hear how big it is you're like I can't do anything about that but even it's interesting to me it's just like oh well I literally know I can do something about this because it's right in front of me it's interesting to me that even a character like Rick who is the smartest man in the universe even he like retains that perspective that very human perspective and that's the thing like when you meet first meet the council of ricks and everything it's established that he's like right on the edge between like being the evil like like you're slightly more evil than him you're an evil fucking master villain yeah but if you're slightly more righteous than him then you're like a little bitch like he's right in the perfect interstice to be the most interesting Rick which is why we follow this right right it's really he's a who's a real reflection of humanity like a certain perspective of what a human being is you can see in that it's real cool so I this episode accomplishes a lot of things that I wanted to have like I okay after season one of rick and morty like my biggest thing that I wanted to happen in season two was for beth and jerry to split up right like because the way I saw it was like season one was constantly suggesting it and like this is a show that has plot progression so like let's do it let's do away with this nuclear family dynamic like you know because the first season was constantly bouncing between like home life and crazy sci-fi A plot you know and like it did sometimes feel a little restricted by the fact that it had to do like normal shit the cutaways to the jerry and beth bits are almost every time the worst part of the episode yeah even when they're good like even when they're good the gazorp is or stuff with them is actually great and is probably the best part of that particular episode yeah not every time they are you know in general they're the weakest part or the the the the tv episode I think is or preserve I meant to say mr. meseeks I meant to say mr. meseeks yeah yeah um like so it's just that it it felt very explored in season one so I was really hoping that season two would like start off with them getting divorced yeah it didn't happen instead season two went even heavier on the divorce element and like again it had ultimately the episodes were good but I was just like I get it you know like I want these two split up because this is going to go on forever and like I feel like we've done everything we can with it yeah so the fact that this episode a big part of it is getting Jerry out of the picture and like the way that Rick talks to Morty at the end is obviously meta he's like describing to Rick or to Morty like we have done this as writers we are writing Jerry out of the show to get rid of him because we're sick of him I still though in the context of a character saying these things to Morty it's just so so wonderfully black and dark and evil it's great it's fantastic it's like your father was your father crossed me your father and the entire galactic government crossed me so I got rid of them both that's what a fucking badass it's so sick gotta love Rick what I love about this show is it's never content to just be status quo like I mean that's what most most episodic comedy shows like this you know they have to have this baseline thing they can always return to the sense of normalcy that's kind of in the background and it can be hard to change that and break away from it and like I was really scared after season two like are we always gonna have this Beth Jerry thing going on like this is getting tiring you know and they did some like like episode two of season two where they had Jerry in the daycare was fucking genius yeah that's a great one that's a great way to do a Jerry B plot but like you know Jerry's a he can't develop as a character because it would defeat the point that's right he's a character who's like inherently static and he's boring now so let's get rid of him and they did they cut him out and I'm like I fully expect him to not show up throughout season three yeah I think it would little undercut what they're going for here if he just was back exactly and and then they're also doing away with the Rick Federation thing because obviously that's limiting in a way that like it always puts Rick like there's there's a definitive opposition he has yeah that's always around and it's like we've explored a lot of it and I mean it's not that they couldn't have done more with it but like having it there means like there's certain rules we've established like Rick can't do this council will intervene there's certain things that like we've made it so if this or this happens we have to involve these characters and so I see the writers going alright that's too limiting we want to do crazy or shit we want to make it so Rick can do those things it's very exciting that they're changing things on such a level that really is a good sign so now we've taken out like the entire power structure of the universe the galactic government and the rest of the things right from here the show can go anywhere and there's nothing that's there's like a system that was in place that's going to hold it back from doing my only kind of fear was that they really had established like those were as you were saying like they were the highest level authorities that existed and it's a little hard to imagine like what could easily replace those it's going to take some creativity so I'm I highly anticipate what you say I wouldn't be surprised if we got like you know Rick forming a new government himself or something well there's no Rick would be and I mean he might do that just to like deal with maybe involved in bureaucracy but like yeah just like he did with the with the devil shop maybe it just turns the fucking whole world completely anarchic or the whole universe goes to anarchy or something you know you know that maybe this whole season is just like batshit and sanity all the time the only reason I think they won't go that way is because that is a little bit harder to write for than I expect them to go for yeah I mean there is a bit of a formula here that I think they generally want to stick to I'm just really curious where we're going to go with with no Jerry and no no Rick Council which like you know it's it's almost sad because like the Rick Council is such a cool I know I loved it that I could have watched it forever it's such a good at the same time yeah it's really ballsy to just kill like to take this great idea and say we've done all we want to do with it let's just like make sure you know as a viewer that it's gone you know they really hammered in those points and I just love I mean this is just a compliment of the entire show how logically consistent everything is like with Rick having an interdimensional portal gun of course there was something like the Rick thing would develop and the way it impacts his character because he has the portal gun he developed this you know lack of care about anyone and anything in his life because there's literally infinite copies of him it doesn't matter what he does at any point and these ricks are going to form their Federation to live their like own outside existence outside any kind of like galactic government that existed just and it's just why the show is so good and continues one of my favorite things about Rick and Morty is how breakneck it is yeah like there's the scene where the the Rick council breaks into the alien thing and just Rick himself gets shot in the face immediately yeah like our Rick we see get fucking shot in the face and it's like whoa you know but you also kind of know that he just left so it's just like you're barely able to keep up yeah with the things that are happening like people are getting shot people are taking a shit it's a wild ride you know that was that's a great recurring thing I think he's using that as like his I need to leave this room now and go to other stuff I gotta take a shit and it's just because no one would question anyone saying that and it's the the great way they use the dialogue and such a snappy pace like he walks into the room and is like whoa you can't be in here this is the room where if you press a couple buttons and knobs it like teleports the entire Citadel it's like well you beep beep explosion yeah plot moving along and break that immediately like the very first thing you see is it's just a shot of the Citadel reappearing inside what is clearly the world government yeah it's like yeah everything's done now what in that one shot we totally understand that both of those governments are just gone yeah you know it's like well moving along and they spoon feed a little bit but they're just like you know oh no we teleported here everything bad's happening I that's great it's really good yeah all the ricks getting shot the brutal and Morty ricks and Morty's getting killed left and right and again it's all like a pre-established background character so like you care a little like rest in peace hammer Morty rest in peace hammer Morty it's just some weird background like yeah like what if one of the Morty's is a hammer and this one we see the rick wielding the hammer Morty like beating people to death with it and then it gets shot like so it serves it's one other purpose it could have is two purposes one to be a random background gang to die used as a shekhov's gun right and then to just get killed it's like perfect that's all we needed from him he never has to show up again doesn't have to be like once per season oh here's hammer Morty like don't don't you don't want to be pulling like a an adventure time style party god and like try to make this ridiculous character that should show up exactly once into like a regular character yeah that's the mistake and they don't do that here thank god how about that sejuan sauce how about well how about the whole memory sequence where I mean I had to watch this twice to really understand what was going on so that he does this whole thing where so he's been captured and they're trying to extract memories from it and he's got this like so Rick immediately figures this out and the way he plays them and you know they do the fake out where like they're exploring his memories they're like hey you better go to the place where you invented your interdimensional travel gun and so that he thinks they think that he's leading them to that and we see in in the midst of that we see like his wife the mysteriously absent wife mother of of Beth character that everyone's been wondering about and then like it plays you the whole way and then when you get to the end both the like the way that he came up with the portal the interdimensional portal gun and the mother character were both fictional they were not real so they got played and we got played at the same time I mean I was suspicious of that memory because it seemed way too straight like straight forward right yeah wife and daughter died like and also why would Beth have gotten blown up in the well interdimensional you know went to another one I guess yeah I mean that was as soon as that happened I was like well what the hell that that's not the real story because Beth can't be dead unless he was going to rebuild her but like I mean we've already seen Rick abandon one Beth and just get a new one that's true you know we've seen that in the show incidentally that we get to see the new the world the Kronenberg world that was abandoned which was great I love that the Kronenberg world comes back and once again we bring back the Kronenberg world it's a great reference to an old joke immediately all three of them get frozen probably dead so we don't have to go back there again yeah I am content to know like it's good to know what these characters are doing because they were these were the characters that we grew up with through all season one and yeah to see to just see them they're doing fine they're doing fine don't worry about it makes me happy I bet they'll be okay I know that actually freezing to like totally will actually kill you but it's magic space gun so I mean the first episode someone got frozen and immediately fell and broke to pieces they didn't fall and break to pieces so maybe they're okay um yeah by the way can we talk about how how great and like so the thing that we're wondering is so Rick's got his plan but what are like Morty and Summer gonna do I mean I personally was wondering like what agency can like Morty and Summer do to like get involved in the plot again and the idea of digging up the dead Rick and finding his portal gun that gives them an in back into like actually doing something relevant in the story just a really good use of these like dead bodies in the background in the backyard really really good stuff yeah the portal gun got smashed so they can't use it anymore well but but that was great because you know that it was a great way to give them something to do yeah um yeah uh I think I really want us to like I think the number one promise this show made in season one that hasn't been delivered on is uh the evil Morty and this this general idea that I think our Morty is special you know like Rick says so in that episode as kind of like a our buddies kind of thing yeah like as the show goes on we more and more see how our Morty is like growing ever more cynical and more understanding like how he literally tried to kill Rick this episode he did his best to murder Rick but like you know other Morties are presented as like significantly more retarded yeah that's true even when we were first introduced to there being more than Morty it's like ours supposedly the good Morty the one that's like they tell of in legends you know true true and uh in this episode he himself is like oh my lawyer is a fucking Morty like yeah obviously this is unfair so like even though our Morty is still like an idiot in some ways like he's definitely smarter than he's supposed to be he's developed a lot as a person and character and well it's mostly made him into like a cynical asshole um he still cares about summer though you know he's he's become cynical and the way he tries to pretend that he doesn't care about Rick anymore specifically to protect summer show some real maturity and development and uh I'm interested to know if we're gonna get like if Morty is going to become you know more of a hero or if he's gonna keep growing as like a you know I kind of want to see him get out of this phase he's in of like really like depressed kind of you know like he's really upset with like like what's going on with Rick and everything like it's kind of breaking him down to see this nihilistic well ending the episode the way Rick chose to is not good for that for healing his mental faculties at all I'm just wondering if we'll see Morty evolve more or if he'll if we'll bring back the evil Morty finally like that's gotta happen that's the number one thing we all want to see everything else has been brought back this show has never like had a promise that it didn't deliver on right so that has to appear at some point you know they've gotta be these guys are way too smart to not do that there must have been a plan for it in the cards maybe they just haven't figured out how to work it in yet you know the only danger is once that happens like I'll still love the show but I'll I always want something to look forward to you know they gotta give me something to establish more shit right there's definitively this feeling of like putting a lot of stuff behind us and being like okay we're tying up all these loose ends so we can introduce new shit yeah but there's still evil Morty and stuff like that but yeah tying up the whole Beth and Jerry thing I'm so glad I was just like oh thank you yeah I'm glad they did it like in kind of a glib way where they were like look we know you get it already like they've we've already seen like if they made a whole episode about them like finally getting divorced it's like we kind of already saw that you know like we've already seen that character arc happen so why not do it and the way they did it quickly was really good because it actually made me like Jerry this is probably the most I've ever liked Jerry he's just like you know what this is it I'm actually taking action in my life I'm saying it's me or him right now which is entirely appropriate to do because Rick is a fucking monster more or less and yeah just really the right way to do it um what else happened in this episode why don't we talk a little bit about the sage one sauce because that is relevant that's important I think and the discussion that's gone on around it is is you know we did a little research I really feel like it's worth talking about it Nate was telling me that the Sheswan sauce that they bring up in the episode it's a meme yeah yeah I guess there was like a campaign because they're making they're remaking moulin are they really that's why it was a campaign is that there's a moulin remake and so people were saying bring back the Sheswan sauce for the moulin remake wait I think you're confused because that's what it said on that article we were reading oh really yeah okay okay I said there's there I mean I know there is a moulin coming so like they were saying hey Rick and Morty talked about how great the Sheswan sauce for the fucking 90s bring it back it's perfect timing I guess yeah yeah and then we read an article about how it wasn't coming back and that there were people who are arguing that it was a problematic sauce a problematic sauce a cultural appropriation of Chinese culture because of the Sheswan sauce okay first of all do you people even fucking understand what America is America is a place where you bring stuff and you make it appeal to people and they buy it because they like it it is inherent to the foundation of the nation that we combine things if you think that it is a wrong thing to do okay first of all there's a couple things we were thinking about might be the actual argument here if you think that it is wrong for other cultures to like eat the foods that you invented in your culture first of all you are 100% wrong I don't respect your opinion go away if your argument is that it is somehow like it's like evil to misrepresent a culture by like having something like a McDonald's dipping sauce that is supposed to be like a quote unquote Chinese sauce but it like isn't spicy enough it isn't like real Chinese I would say I still that is fundamentally flawed because it is on the individual to realize that okay this doesn't actually represent China this is a fucking sauce that McDonald's is selling to represent like a movie that we're making in America it's not fucking China so what is the actual arguments that there's something like harmful about this sauce I do not fundamentally understand this idea of cultural appropriation being bad in this context do you have anything to add to this point did you it's fucking McDonald's I know I because I really just hilarious to me I don't want to fuck around on this issue I want to actually address people's real concerns and respond like I mean this is what it always is it's just that it's so unimportant who the fuck cares what Chinese person is like upset that their culture is being besmirched by a McDonald's dipping sauce McDonald's itself is in a front to all life and culture as it is like the entire existence of McDonald's is an evil American like burger culture is like poorly represented by McDonald's to begin with so really we should be more insulted than anyone exactly like it's just literally who gives a fuck just give me the fucking sheswan sauce it's fucking hilarious stop being a fucking show Jesus Christ and you know what we might be making a mountain out of a molehill here because we only read like one or two articles but the fact that there's any discussion like just the fact that I typed in sheswan sauce rick and morty and the first the first one was sorry rick and morty fans but the problematic sheswan sauce isn't coming back and I immediately burst out laughing when I read that headlock fuck you guys fuck you guys I don't know I don't know how we got on to that from a rick and morty discussion but it's they made it about that dude the people out there made it about that bring it back and I love that that you know that rick went out of his way to do that in his memory because of course that's something he'd care about that's what I love they make that kind of like super obscure cultural reference and I totally get it like they make it out like oh haha it's rick being silly but I'm like nah man like I would pretzel pub chicken sandwich from Wendy's if I had for some reason I was going through like memories of 2009 I'm getting a fucking pretzel pub chicken there's like some mushroom burger at Wendy's every once in a while that I always am on the lookout for and it's gone most of the time it's like cheddar in mushroom yeah like mushroom cheddar burger something I fucking I want that that's mine which says we're on dipping sauce right after the pretzel pub chicken they brought in that sandwich which was also great and then they they kept they kept they had like a revolving door of sandwiches that were diminishing in quality as each one came in well the point of it is that's hilarious and you know it's a fucking joke I don't understand why anyone would even be mad about in the slightest so let's let's all suck it up I mean if you're gonna be mad about the sauce just be mad about Mulan movie in the first place which I know I think they would be I'm sure they would be they'd make the same argument that no it's watering down our culture and whatever the thing about that is almost every time one of those things happens the actual culture loves it yeah like most of them are like really happy that their culture is being represented at all do actual Chinese people get really mad that like Mulan exists and is like oh this is a shitty Americanized version of our culture like they got things to do I don't want to speak for them but I don't think they would consider it a big fucking deal I've seen it all the time in Japan for instance where like they get really excited to even have reference to Japan in an American film and they appropriate Americans in Japanese films are the most fucking flanderized fucking like misrepresented we're literally all blonde cowboys who scream fuck and shoot guns that's every American character in Japan but racism is prejudice plus power yeah that's the issue that's the fundamental disagreement that we have here anything else about this Rick and Morty episode well there's that little teaser at the end with Bird Person's back I don't know how I feel about that I know what you mean it's a little bit disappointing I kind of liked that Bird Person was gone I like bringing back Tammy as like an evil you know relevant I mean she's kind of like an arch villain now she's kind of like the big bad she's the one who initiated all of this and you know I don't know what she's working for now that the world government's gone and can we just reflect on I believe the first word we ever heard Tammy say was wasn't she said like yeah I love Bukake really into Bukake and she is our main villain love it and she's great she's hot she fucks she fucks birds yeah it's a little bit it's a little bit disappointing that they're kind of going back on that and just reviving him like that but I mean he's evil now and I mean they might make it like I don't know it kind of reminds me of like when a chef died in South Park and they brought him back as like Darth Chef but just for like a second you know I don't know what they're going to do with this Darth Bird Person we'll say seeing it and especially like just doing it as like a really tired reference to Star Wars was like I don't know man like but yeah I don't know he looks kind of Borg-ish too yeah yeah Cyborg-y dude I will say hopefully it'll be good I'm not that worried these guys are good writers yeah yeah that's the thing there has not been a bad episode of Rick and Morty there's been a couple yeah there were a couple like that M. Night Chameleons and Raising Gazorpazorp are probably the two worst episodes and those are still pretty fun agreed I mean fucking I don't watch any of them M. Night Chameleons has the fucking yes wait which one's that again? yes the one where Jerry gets trapped in a simulation oh yeah he doesn't recognize that it's a simulation oh my man my man Jesse's favorite line yeah like half of that episode is amazing it's still the worst episode of the show so it's hard to fault it's hard to fault Rick and Morty yep so yeah we'll definitely be looking forward to the rest of season three no doubt I gotta rewatch season two soon because I still have like the first three episodes because they were leaked I watched them like over and over and over again yeah and then the rest of them I watched on TV and never saw again so like gotta get my season two knowledge up to snuff so I know all the background characters and lore references where that I could look out for when season three gets underway because I'm sure I'm sure any surviving character we're gonna see again no doubt that's very much a Dan Harmon thing you haven't seen any community have you? I watched all season one oh yeah yeah I didn't watch beyond that because I got bored it definitely gets better in season two I like season one quite a bit alright that's cool but yeah I mean a lot of the the arc structure of Rick and Morty that the metanus all of that is extremely like community yeah yeah and obviously they can do even more on this show because it's fucking you can do literally anything yep and it's always willing to just well I love about Rick and Morty is that it's not even that it's pushing the boundaries it's that it's just past all of them like it represents that we're kind of in an era where you can literally do anything yeah you can go as violent as you want you can say whatever words you want you can fucking present the most insane concepts you've ever heard of at the drop of a hat and just keep going there's no like hand holding you know and I mean you can argue that the daily life scenes are like to give retarded audiences like something to cling to uh-huh but um but even then I just feel like this show can do literally anything and it's like this is a like where is the line anymore like what's holding it back other than it has to be 22 minutes long yeah that's like the only real uh real thing and you know and I really do trust these writers to whatever they choose to talk about they will do it in a hilarious, intelligent and like well thought out way that fits cohesively into the overall structure of the show so just one of the best fucking shows I've ever seen and definitely airing right now yeah absolutely fantastic cannot wait for more please give us news about when it's coming out people alright y'all uh join us next time whenever that is whenever it is I mean maybe we could like try to maybe do some back episodes while we're you know if we want to make this like a weekly show leading up to whenever the hell the actual show starts that's a good 24 weeks if we wanted to do it also yeah so yeah I mean we don't have to do every episode we can just do the highlights I'm down alright everybody see you then goodbye moon man goodbye
