This shit got more coverage than a Super Bowl. I was on a I was saying some shit earlier, like, man, it's a bitch-ass move. And then all of a sudden, whoop-de-whoop, I'm just...

We are 129 episodes deep in the pit, man. We are. Let me make sure. Did I put the right? I put 128 on here. This is actually 129. So disregard that. This is actually a good problem, bro.

Because I got questions. I'm hoping you can answer it. Get ready because you know we're going to talk a lot of shit. It's Mac and Mac. Welcome to the smoke pit. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Yep. Y'all know what it is. Friday night. And the dynamic duo is back. We got my man Black and Mac on your screens. Doing what we do every Friday. Bring you into the weekend with some laughs and some conversations. We got real good at this because we used to go on like a five-minute spiel about links and what to do. Now we just do. Y'all are all grown. Look at the description. Yep. I do want to take time out to shout out our sponsor, supporter, and one of the first ladies of DFPN, Cons Customs Creations.

No, this is actually a smoke pit design. And that's how you're going to leave it. Yep. You'll see it when it's pressed. I'll never tell. But yes, ladies and gentlemen, Black has rocked a couple of the designs she has made. And these are things that... Teespring is not allowing us to do like the different colors, the material and stuff. So hit her up. Her Facebook business page is linked in the description. You can find it there. hit her up send a dm let her know what you're looking to do and uh she will 100 get back with you uh shout out to our very own sister show on the network queens of nerdom who are looking to get something made as well so um a lot of good stuff going on so if you need anything holla at the homie con she got I said I set it up but I left the chat so I don't know what they got going on but I'm excited. I hope it comes into fruition. And I can't wait to see it. It's going to be dope. I have no doubt about it. But like I said, we got some things to talk about. We got a show already. Ladies and gentlemen, we have people out here doing nefarious things. And it's not cool. Nefarious things. Things that make you say why. We had a show on here, and they used to say, damn it, man. But this is where my brain goes when I see shit like this. Damn it, man. Why? Why are you doing this? Yes. Let's go out in the world like this. Why are we doing this? Where are your friends, sir, ma'am? I think therein lies the problem. Their circle are like-minded people. Like, what did Dave Chappelle say? You need to have a Mac Mittens, bro. You need to have that motherfucker to be like, yo, this is dumb as fuck. And here's why. Here's why. Let's kick this shit off, man. Let's go with the Who's Mans, because we got to get into this shit. Let's get our shot first. Oh, yeah, that's right. That's right. No. It wouldn't be an official episode if we didn't kick it off, right? A tradition, if you will, that dates back to the summer of 2020. So we never want to start a show without doing this. So you got a toast for him? I do, actually. Two friends that have a good time and enjoy shit while getting shit done. Because DFPN was actually really busy this week. DFPN was crazy busy this week. And I love it because shit got done and a lot of dope shit came out. So shout out to getting shit done with your friends and having fun. And that's what we're going to toast to. The best feeling. It is. It's awesome. I like that. Getting shit done. With great friends. Yes. Salud. Salud. Salud. I might need to throw this whiskey out. God damn, that's terrible. What is it? Normally, hold up, ladies and gentlemen, normally black top shelf type stuff, he be sipping on. He goes back to his roots. The country with the moonshine. So now I need to know, you talking about throwing whiskey out, sir? What do you got? Yeah, it's cookie dough whiskey. And don't do it to yourself. Fair warning, people. Don't do that to you. Don't take shots of that shit. Let me see the bottle, Will. You got the bottle in there? Yeah. So we made shit with it, but it's Old Smokey cookie dough whiskey. Oh, that's the one you mix with the cream soda or something? Yeah. And you were like, this is delicious. It's delicious, but I don't have the shit to mix with it. So now it's just sitting here. Times are hard. So we want to run right into the who's mans? Yeah. Which one of these you want to talk about first? Let's do the shoes, bro. These people are wild. Ladies and gentlemen, we have two of them for you because we know we shorted you last week. Yes. So we have two sessions of who's mans is this? Starting with... I can't even, I don't, y'all got to see this shit. So let's, let's get into it. Um, I don't know the names of these people, hence why I just have Barefoot Couple. Now, it's not what you're thinking, people walking around barefoot. No. This is worse. Hella extra. Let me bring the join up so you can explain to our friends and family out there what the fuck we were watching earlier this week. So we'll play the video because they try to give context. We don't want to put words in their mouths. We'll hear the words coming out of their mouths, and then we will roast accordingly. But yeah, I'll go ahead and play. Let me know if y'all can hear it, and we'll discuss. Yes. It'll help if I... We decided to start walking barefoot and one of our followers had a great idea. Since some businesses don't want us being completely barefoot, if we cut off the bottom of our shoes, it'll allow us to be barefoot but blend in with everyone else. This is a huge commitment, but we were willing to make it. These are our favorite shoes. Our shoe collection is worth more than $20,000, but this is a sacrifice we're willing to take because walking barefoot means the world to us. The benefits of walking barefoot are priceless, and now our shoes are worth more than money could ever be. So today we got to work and started removing the bottoms. we weren't sure if this was going to be easy or hard and it ended up being pretty easy we made little shelves where our toes are and our heels are we made a little lip on the bottom of the shoe where our toenails will go so they can latch on so we'll actually be able to hold on to the shoe while trying to walk without the bottom and we did the same thing for our heels the experience of cutting off the bottoms of our shoes was very freeing and detoxifying just like walking barefoot is so after we cut the bottoms off we decided to try it out so we went to our favorite store sephora and as you know they don't really like us in here without shoes I needed to grab a few things for a trip we're going on. The experience was absolutely perfect. The workers came up to us. They talked to us. They even complimented our shoes. I definitely recommend this if you're trying to go impagnito barefoot. It's the perfect way to get all the benefits of going barefoot, but also have no one know. An officer on patrol happens to spot... My husband and I have removed the bottoms of all of our shoes. a woman dragging a man down the sidewalk you saying you're shot who turns out to be riddled with bullets deeper into who the killer could be she looks like she dragged him from right there they quickly realized that this wasn't a random shooting what yeah so um so um that's a thing that they were doing um I'll bring it back up for this sec well Let's get your thoughts on that stuff, man. How you feel about them and their journey into the world of being barefoot? This is probably one of the worst cases of whose mans we've had in a while. Because not only are you nasty, you blend in with the clean folk. Why do you do this to yourself and us? now you walk around why ew imagine imagine imagine if you forget you you cut the holes out of them bro and like you walking across a patch of grass and dog doo-doo like I'm assuming they they're taking that into consideration god damn well these people went in on them in the comments yes they did I got a few talking points that I noted as they were doing that. You made shelves. There you go. The one where they were like, buy the toenails so we can latch on. One, if your toenails are... If your toenails are long enough to where you can latch on to something and hold on to it like a fucking bird of prey, please cut your toenails. Please. What if Vietnamese people gonna cuss you the fuck out, bro? My foot would cramp if I had to just continue to just hold on to the bottom of your shoe. That's more work. You're not even being seen. That takes away from the barefoot portion. We're free and we can walk, but you got to steady flex your foot to hold on to some shit. Fucking eagle talon. Why? I feel like a velociraptor. holding your goddamn thing. What are you doing? Second, look at the collection of shoes they have here. They out there talking about our shoe collection is worth over $20,000. Bullshit. I'm going to let this play on mute so we can look at this collection of shoes. Bro, she has some fucking 2005 bathing apes. So look at this. This is $20,000 worth of shoes. Yep, those are premium. This is $20,000. As an avid shoe collector, I would say none of these things in the condition they are in is worth $20,000. Those are the Payless top shelves. And Payless been out of business. Where did that shit go? The famous footwear. Fucking shoe show, famous footwear, all of the joints you go to, just be like, I just need a pair of beat-em-up shoes real quick. Yeah. A pair of Adidas. You know what I'm saying? That's where you take the kids go to get shoes real quick. Exactly. Go ahead. You can get two pair. You can get two pair in here. You need them for the first day of school and I don't get paid until after you start. So let's go to Famous Footwear. Get you some school shoes and some outside shoes. Yep. So yeah, those are like the two main concerns I had. But we'll keep this played in the back so we can talk to it. But so their thing was they like being barefoot but stores won't let them come in right yeah so uh yeah my brothers are here talking about they're taking tools the shoes like he had a whole like buzz saw saw on the bottom of shoes out he had the lock saw the shit you'd cut the locks open with oh yeah look at these shoes these are not $20 the mid fucking jordan ones Look at the shit he got. And he's just sitting there. He just got a lot of shit. Ain't no way them shit's expensive. And he's just like, we're doing this to be free. How free are you? I don't know. And oh my God, how do people not know you're barefoot? Like when you walk, does your foot not naturally come up in the back? It has to. It has to. Like, are they just walking just totally flat-footed to where... Like, are those shoes on the wrong foot? Am I tripping? Look at this. They're just walking around with a camera just foot hanging all out the bottom of the shoe. Nobody even knew. Get your nasty ass out the store. And then he handed her the bag. You know what I was gonna... Ain't no way. He's been hanging out with these people. You know what? I almost named this, but I didn't want any real problems. But I feel like I would have got a pass because it's February. It's February. Whose man's is this? And then at the bottom, I was going to put white people. But they're not all like this, obviously, because everybody in the chat is just all racist creeds and everything. This is ridiculous. This is absolutely ridiculous. It is atrocity. And then over here, she said no one would know, like, her whole foot wasn't hanging out in the video. Like, look at this. It's the perfect plan, dude. Like, bro, your foot is, you didn't latch on hard enough with your fucking talons. You got to spread your toes open so they catch. Fucking velociraptor. You ain't did it right. What you doing out here, lady? This is the comment for me. Ain't no way they feet that clean, bro. You picking up the bags like, if you don't put my fucking donut bag down with them nasty ass feet, get the hell out of here. Bro, they gotta the way you have to make sure the trail you're walking on is free from any kind of fucking glass, rocks, A pebble? Yeah. Like when a small pebble gets inside your shoe, it hits you on that one spot on your foot. Oh, yeah, buddies. And this is him constantly. 24-7. And you're walking on brick. And then to title the video, would y'all try this? Hell no. Absolutely the fuck no. Hell no. You are not putting me in the cobblestone ones, bro. I'm not doing it. Y'all out here on this Fred Flintstone shit. Fucking barefoot everywhere. I can't, bro. In my house, I wear either socks or house shoes, man. And people say it's good to walk around barefoot so your foot can adjust and the natural motion and all this stuff and so forth and so on. People be in the gym lifting barefoot to brace themselves and work. And that's cool, I guess, but traversing the world? Nah. We're a million years removed from doing this. John Trump diehard. Walking over glass and shit. My feet are strong. And AD hit it on the head. This is their they'll never know. We'll get away with so much in Sephora. Sephora is just like, you still bought our shit. Yeah. Go ahead and disguise your feet. And I feel... Like, you could wear a nice pair of, like, flip-flops or something. Still get the same effect. Right. I know, because when you deploy, you got to wear the shower shoes to and from the shower, depending, you know, where you deploy that. They got gravel all over the place, right? Oh, yeah, they are. They got gravel, and the shower shoe doesn't have, like, the arch support or the padding, so you still feel every piece of the ground. But your actual foot's not touching the ground. You know what I'm saying? There's ways to let your feet be free without fucking contaminating them. Exactly. Why are your feet touching the filth? Jesus didn't intend this for you. And then you walk right back in the house. Like nothing happened. with the shit on your feet so say oh my god so now you you out and about with these you go to the public restroom you just walking around barefoot up to the piss all over the floor gross and they bragging about this shit man yep if our bathrooms aren't clean please let us like this is the standard sign you know these bathrooms ain't clean And they got that little initial sheet that ain't nobody signing the fuck off for. That bathroom ain't been cleaned in weeks. You look, the last initial was in like December. And you know it's a motherfucker that ain't really cleaning shit. They just went in there and signed that whole like. Just signed it off. I ain't scrubbing this motherfucking toilet sheet. Clean. Ain't no toilet paper, paper towels gone. You in there barefoot. Barefoot. Now you in there fucking having fucking regrets instantly. You might as well raw ass the seat, too. Oh, my God. This is the most absurd shit. Like, again, I'm not... Everybody has their thing. But there are other ways to have the barefoot feel. Like, you get shoes with, like, thinner padding on it or something like that. You get the... Like, I thought the toe shoes... was supposed to give you that feeling. Them shits that you just put over your whole foot? I forget the name of them, but it's supposed to... I see people walking around with them and shit. Them shit's weird, too, but it's better than barefoot. Yes! Because your foot is protected from the feel. Yes. I couldn't rock those, because I mean... My toes is weird. You know what I'm saying? Yeah, I hate walking barefoot. My second toe is longer than my... It's a whole thing on my side, right? So I don't think those shoes would be... I'd have to get some custom made. I don't know how it works. But I've always looked at those shoes like, man, that's weird. Like, why would you want to have the barefoot sensation walking around? Yeah. Yeah. You know? Even when, like, if I got to go back to my truck to get some shit, like, I just can't walk out barefoot, bro. I can't. I be putting my kids slippers on and shit, big ass feet just poking through me. Like, fuck it, bro. And your tiptoes just like, give me a barrier between my skin and the earth. I can't. I can't. If we not at the beach or at the pool or something where I'm supposed to be barefoot at, I ain't trying to do it. Yep. Yeah, the movie theater would be all sticky and shit. Even then, even at the beach, bro, if I'm barefoot at the beach, I got to hit that shower, but I got to put my shoes on. I got to put the sandals on. And then I got to wash my feet in the sandals because I'm not walking to that shit barefoot. And I can't put socks back on. Until my feet are clean. It's weird. You can't have wet feet in the socks, bro. Exactly. You can't do that. I saw this and I'm just like, is it really that big of a deal? You're going to destroy your shoes. All your shoes. Just so you can be like, I'm going to Sephora. They came up to us. They talked to us. They didn't even know. They said, ooh, we liked your shoes. That's a lie. That is fucking crap. The busted ass things you walked out there with, man. You just finished playing. You coming in from recess, them beat up ass shoes like that. They're just regular shoes. Nobody complimenting you on that. They just trying to make that sell because they get commission out of that. Treating them shoes like an Altima. Just fucking them up. Why people be saying ultimate drivers are the worst drivers? They are, bro. That is a fact. Whipping it out of traffic. They don't give a shit about that car. You got a V6 in there. Calm down. Sir, your car is regular as fuck. Bro, driving that bitch like midnight club. Bro, slow down in this motherfucker. And in front of me, just to stop at the same red light I was finna stop at. What does that mean, she can't? I mean, look at... I don't think she'd be wearing heels. That's just me. I don't know her. I didn't see... Hopefully that wasn't the full collection of their footwear. But I mean, how did you do that with heels, though? Unless she just cut the front part of the the heel off and leave the shelf at the heel? Because, I mean, then people are going to still see your fucking bare-ass foot. Right. That defeats the whole fucking purpose. Thank you, my guy. Thank you. I'm just... What's the purpose of this shit? We want to look like we're wearing shoes, but not really wear shoes? Exactly. Exactly. I don't know, just bring a pair of flats to put on when you walk in the store. Then when you leave the store, you can take your shoes the fuck back off. Put them back in your purse or your whatever, your sling, your satchel, whatever you, whatever carrying device you prefer at this point, you know? But yeah, this is 100% a who's man's. If you have friends that are thinking about doing this, do us all a favor and at least try to talk some sense into them. Make the attempts to stop stupidity as the old Michael Jordan anti-drug ad from the 80s went. Stop it. Get some help. Get some help. The words of a... The immortal Michael Jordan. The immortal Michael Jordan. Stop it. Get some help. Oh, shit. But we go from people who destroy alleged $20,000 collection of shoes to a man who is trying to do big things out here uh big things trying to let you know uh he got uh big monies the ultimate flex the ultimate flex that uh that kind of backfires on just a little bit um let me bring this screen up so you can uh see the perpetrator of this section of whose mans As you can already tell, my man is wearing the brand new Apple Vision Pro. I've seen some demos of this. It looks pretty dope. Again, I'm not a big Apple back person, but what this does, it seems pretty cool. I might want some on the slick. You got that Vision Pro monies? Hell no. Okay. I mean, it's nice to dream, though. But, yeah, we'll go ahead, as we did with the other one, kind of show you what's going on, and then we'll discuss. $3,500 Apple Vision Pro. Navigating a Tesla without hands on the wheel. Despite Tesla's autopilot feature, this reckless maneuver didn't escape the attention of law enforcement, resulting in the daring individual being pulled over. Apple explicitly states, never use Apple Vision Pro while operating a moving vehicle, bicycle, heavy machinery, or in any other situations requiring attention to safety. Apple officially launched the Vision Pro in-store Friday, and fans have posted videos of themselves using the new tech in everyday life. Here's what users get to see. Got the messages again. Got music set up here. Big screen TV set up on my wall. Gordon Ramsay showing me how to cook above the stove. Notes right here for some groceries. Can walk around freely. Here's what it looks like when it's on. Hey, how's it going? Thank you. And as we walk around the house, everything stays pinned exactly where we left it. And that's it. Let me know if you have questions. The Vision Pro is certainly something to behold regardless of how you feel about it. The device connects the real world with the digital world. It makes you wonder what lies ahead. For that individual, I'm pretty sure it's jail. Yeah, pretty much. Get your ass out this car. Get your dumb ass out the car. Oh, man. When the dude was giving us the little tutorial of the Vision Pro, you know what I'm saying? It looks pretty dope. It does. However, Bro, I don't even know what to say. You decided Tesla could drive automatically and I'll just use my Apple. Just like AD said in the comments, you just avoided all the warning signs, huh? That's way too much trust, bro. That's way too much trust. In technology? Yes. I don't think I would ever... have the full-on take-the-will stuff. No, sir. No. I don't know what he was watching or what the fuck's going on with this dude, but he was just too confident. And then to have somebody film him, too. And then cops pull him over, and he still got the shit on his face. Cops was like, whoo! He wasn't just like, oh, shit. He's sitting there pulled over in the parking lot, like... well they got me you know I can fucking see you right you know I can see you bro and then the uh you know what I think it's like the audacity to just be like I'm gonna get away with this I was just watching the news on my way to work officer I don't get your ass out look at this my man is like legit typing an email or some shit while the Tesla's driving you know And then the cops are just like, hey, what the fuck, bro? Is this motherfucker wearing goggles in the car? This motherfucker out here looking like Cyclops. Look at this. He looks at his boy like... Are we like in trouble trouble or... Look how he just looks at his boy. And his boy still got the camera in his face. Oh, damn. Gotta see how this turns out. I wish they recorded the encounter with law enforcement. I want to see how that went. And what this motherfucker got. It had to be, like, the officer had to be befuddled, bro. Like, ain't no way. Ain't no fucking way he was in there like, oh, this is okay. If I can't do this in BX special sunglasses, ain't no way this works. Man, I want to know what happened to old buddy. Like, I want to know what his punishment was. 100%. 100%. I need to... Hey, you can't wear that. Now get out of here. That's the level... See? Let's talk about it. A black man would not be able to do this. Oh, hell no. 100% no. A black man, bro, it'd be over. It'd be over. Like... Just go ahead and just, you know, assume the position when cops pull you over. You trying to do some stupid shit like this. I'm not going to say we're not going to do it. I'm pretty sure some of us are going to try to, like, top this flex by doing something on a motorcycle or something. Oh, bro. Like Rough Rider. Like, you're going to get on a four-wheeler and try to do something wild. I bet. Because I'm not putting it past us. Yeah. We got the shit on and we looking at the live YouTube video of us doing the shit. Just to flex. We're going live with our camera. Log on to YouTube on our Vision Pro and watch us do the shit. Yeah. Somebody in the comments, who was it? AD. The dude that was on the train? That white boy was about to get jumped on that train. Let me tell you, that's the first thing I thought. I'm like, you on the subway? With a $3,500 fucking piece of equipment? Wrong place. With no situational awareness? You in the wrong place. Bro, you... Bro, if you made it home with that God himself. You have to have hands. God himself. like was was watching you was watching you because ain't no fucking way you was wearing that shit on a subway just chilling like typing with a battery pack in your pocket and shit just no fears like bro if there's any place in the world you need to have your head on a motherfucking swivel it's a goddamn yes life life changing situations happen on that goddamn train bro Every fucking day. Every fucking day. Something happened on fucking subways, man. Like, somebody's like, fuck. There was a rat that climbed out of a girl's shirt. Like, it was nothing. You can't trust any scenario beyond that to be safe for you. That shit was on her shoulder like a parrot. Oh, fuck it. Climbed up her leg. We don't know if that bitch was a host. We know nothing, bro. Fucking rat kid. What are you doing? What is this? That's the shit that happened on Train. The wildest shit. And you're just in there typing a fucking work email or whatever the fuck you're doing. And having somebody record you so you can upload it and be like, yeah, this was me and my asshole. This is my wife. Bro. And then your friend gonna end up recording your ass getting beat the fuck up in the mug. Take the shit. Take the shit. And this is why black people can't do it. The motherfucking cop gonna come up with some shit. Yep. I felt unsafe. He's a goddamn... He had the minority report glasses on. Couldn't trust it. Your Honor, the perpetrator had a laser vision uh I recall watching the show in my childhood x-men and uh there's highly dangerous uh peripheral so uh I feared for my life and we shot him it's wild I don't know what the battery life is uh but it's gotta be amazing it comes with a a pack or something because you see they always have a cord and then it's like connected to something that they're keeping in their pocket or something so I don't know if it's like a battery pack or something but uh bro that that shit is wild and I thought the medic that the newest uh what you call it meta quest oculus oculus yeah yeah I thought that one was pretty dope because they they enhanced that from the the second because I got the second one now I saw the third one I'm like oh I want that I saw the price it ain't like this though it ain't 3500 what that's how much that shit costs the the pro yeah let me oh you can keep that that's not worth it I don't need my life enhanced that much, bro. Say what? You said you don't need your life enhanced that much? Apple Vision Pro price. The Google be knowing. Y'all be listening, huh? We know what you want to look for. It has a starting price of starting price. Starting price. That's like the 16. Yeah, that's if you want 256 gig of space. If you want the terabyte, you're paying $3,900, bro. That's not too bad of a hike, though. Depending on the space, it's not too big of a hike. Because look, you go from... Oh, you're saying... The storage, yeah. Oh, yeah. Oh, so you're just adding $400 extra for the storage. Yeah. I guess, but the starting price is... I thought it was going to be astronomical, but that's actually not that bad. Oh, the starting price is $35? That's astronomical in and of itself. That shit's terrible, but I'm talking about the storage. As you go up in storage, I thought it would have been higher because that's a lot more battery life you need. You know what that is? That's like when you go to the movies and the soda's already like six bucks. True. And that's like the small. We ain't going to kill you. You can go to a large for an extra 75 cents. You're like, I might as well just get the fucking large then. Yep, exactly. Give me the fucking liter of cola, if you will. Give me the bucket. Give me that shit, bro. Yeah. That is a mortgage. That's more than a mortgage payment. That's two mortgages down there. When I was in Arizona, bro, that would have covered $4,000 would have had me. Two and a half mortgage payments. Looking pretty good. Two and a half mortgage payments. Ah, fuck, bro. Nah. Hey, good on you, Apple, for actually putting that out and knowing motherfuckers are going to buy it. That's for single people and married people with no kids, bro. Let me see what the MetaQuest 3. That's not for a household. No. He just... What's the price? $500 for $120. And then I guess it only comes in the two spaces. So you either pay $500 or $650. That's not bad either. I'd rather do that. $100. Yeah. If I had to choose between the two? I'd rather do that. You'd probably swing the meta quest. Hell yeah. And I can make a good excuse for it. This is going to last us three Christmases, babe. They ain't got to worry about shit. They got to worry about nothing. They ain't going to upgrade this shit for like, give me this shit. Let me play on it. I bought it. $3,500 for $265. That's wild. That's crazy. My phone got more than that shit. More storage. But you just can't walk around and pin shit all over your house. I got Gordon Ramsay here teaching me how to cook some shit over the stove. I got the big screen TV. If that was going to be my sole source of entertainment, no computer, no TV, no nothing in my house... You know somebody bought that shit. But it still be weird, because then you have people come over to watch the game, and the only way you can watch it is with your headset. You know what I'm saying? Right. Like, you can't host no parties or nothing. Nigga, put some music on. Well, I just... I got music on. Y'all can't hear it? Yeah. Walking around looking like fucking Charles Xavier with Cerebro on all the time. Bro. I can hear them. Bro. so I mean all that aside driving with that shit on like that is the dumbest like the shit that could have happened with you in that car with that shit on like the level of non give a fuck It's wild. You and that bitch making beats and putting your trust in this Tesla. The level of do it for the grandness is astronomical. The things people do to try to be viral. We've seen a homeless couple kind of cheat the system, but they want to be viral. Now they're back living in the fucking woods and shit. That did not go well for them. You see what's happening here with people wanting to go viral. It only works like I don't know. Let's throw a random number out there. 20% of the time? Like, old buddy from Burger King, a couple episodes back, you know, posted the thank you for working 50 years and not missing a day. That's what I'm saying. He had to do a Nelson Mandela at his job, bro. To get that. Yeah, it did a... Nelson Mandela. He pulled a Mandela. And then strangers on the internet were like, man, Burger King fucked up. Here goes some money. And then he got $400,000 or something like that. Through a GoFundMe. Because it's not just like, Burger King out here hoeing our dad. Yeah, Burger King ain't give him a cent. Burger King keep out here hoeing my dad. Please help us. The kindness of strangers is what came through for that man. And now you got people who do have money who can do this shit, and this is what they choose to do. You're just like, what are we doing out here? Yeah, this is a waste. It's a waste of money, bro. Also, you can have multiple Pornhub tabs up in your kitchen. This is wild. You got a room set up for one genre of porn. You got another category. Which room do I want to, what am I in the mood for? You just walk in that room, close the door. You got a brothel in your house, a virtual brothel in your house. Like, what are we doing? Don't go into that stuff. Dad, what are you watching? What is in here? You got to make sure all the tabs is closed for you. Let your friends use it. Wait, wait, wait, wait. Hey, can I try that? Yeah, just put it. No, wait. Oh, my God. Oh, my God. I thought I had all the... Yeah, because you got a tab hidden in a room somewhere that you can't close out. Because you can pin him anywhere. He just... I forgot about the one in the bathroom. No! God, God, God, no! Don't look above the toilet! God, give me that back! Please! Take him off, take him off, take him off! Promise me this doesn't change anything. I cannot make that promise. Oh, shit. But, um... As you can see, the internet does not ever let us down. It does not disappoint when it comes to finding candidates for whose mans is this. So what we do ask is obviously me and Black have no problem finding shit. But if you watch this and you see this segment, you're like, I saw a dumb ass video the other day. Hit us up. Please submit it. Comment it. You know we'll look it over and we'll bring it up here. And we will give our thoughts, our opinions, so forth and so on. You know what we do here on the show. We probably going to clown them, roast them, you know, a little bit. But, yeah, that's cool. You got the money for it. I'm not hating. Do what you want with your money. But don't go out there and put other people's lives at risk for the gram. Please. I want to know. I'm probably going to do some searching to see what the fuck happened to him. We'll update you next week if I can find it. Yeah. But as we always do, we like to get back to the community. We have the Smoke Pit Podcast fan group. Check the description. The question this week, oh, we had a one got to go. So we can, depending how long this goes, we can cover the one got to go and get into this bracket update. We can probably hit both. But ladies and gentlemen. Great question was asked. We had over 260 comments on this one in the four days that it's been up. So that's pretty good. Great interaction. Appreciate that. But the question we asked this week was, what are some of the most overrated slash overhyped shows on television? I felt like people had some shit to get off their chest with this one. Yeah, because I thought they was going to put one show. Motherfuckers went on there with fucking Christmas. They had a list. I've been waiting. Amazon shopping cart. It was just like, download cart. Somebody finally asked me. Furthermore, these shows... And then within hours later, also, as well, these shows as well. I was like, I just put two shows on here. I was just trying to drive a conversation. Motherfuckers just came out here like, this show is yo. Let me talk to you. Yeah. Yeah. A smoke pit. Let me talk to you. Yeah. But pitmasters, y'all know what it is. Time for that house meeting, y'all. I think we need to have a house meeting, y'all. Yes, sir. So, like we said, overrated television shows. Well, we're at 301 comments. As we're doing the show, more shit is being added to the fucking... being added to the list. You know, I'm going to set it most relevant. And then we'll go there and scroll down. I will say... I'm pretty sure you saw the trend, too. Like, there are Several shows that were mentioned multiple, multiple, multiple times. Yes. I will say the one that jumps in, Tay already jumped and put it in the comments. Ladies and gentlemen, let's talk about friends with all caps. Yes. I'm guessing Tay was not a fan. How about yourself? I have one distinct reason for hating this show. Continue. There was not a black person in sight on this motherfucking show. They brought Aisha Taylor on there for a little bit. Talk about her and Rob was a or Ross was a was a couple for a bit. I felt like they were just like. Talk about it. Where do y'all live again? New York. No black people? No black people? I mean, it's cool y'all don't hang out with them in your apartment, but you in this coffee shop? At the bars, the coffee shops? Black people don't go to coffee shops? Okay. All right. Yeah, that was enough. That was enough to keep me like, this show is bullshit. Over... I think the biggest thing with this is it comes to personal preference, right? Because you can't be like, it's overrated. If it was getting the ratings it was, it went on for so long, highest rated to the point it was so profitable, these cats was getting a million dollars an episode. But I'll say this. I know more people that don't like Friends than I know people who do like Friends. That's a fact. That's a fact. And maybe that's me and my circle, but... I don't know. That's me too. I think because they had the distinct dishonor of coming out after Fresh Prince of Bel-Air. Really? Yeah. I think that show killed Friends because... You had that show and everything that they had on the Fresh Prince and then Friends came after that. And it just wasn't. And it was like, one's in LA, one's in New York. I wouldn't even say Fresh. I would say Living Single. Yeah, that too. That too. Living Single was, I guess, the show that Friends copied. right um and this was the this was like brought up a while back like I saw articles about it like people saying uh whoever was that created friends like saw living single and just like we'll just do that with white people over in new york or something and for whatever reason friends was more popular even though there was already a show based around the same model that was coming box and I get it like right you know America is going to America. They're going to America. I see why. The comedy, I gave it a shot. I'll watch a show. If a show is funny, I'll watch it. People are telling me Friends is funny. I gave it a shot. It just don't do it for me. It just don't do it for me. Chandler is not funny. Joey is just not. I don't know. I don't know. I tried. Me too. And even the names of the episodes were cool. I'll give it that. They have some cool names for the episodes. But it just didn't hit. You know what I mean? Certain shows don't hit. Well, that's the best thing you can say about a TV show. Exactly. The title of their episodes were nice. Exactly. oh shit but uh the name of the shows were cool um and then we had a lot of people saying um uh how I met your mother big bang theory big bang theory I didn't get but I like big bang theory you do that's that's your jam it's not my jam I mean I can I can rock with it though hmm uh People have Breaking Bad on here too. That's one I want to address real quick. Let me tell you something. If you do not like Breaking Bad, that is a you problem. Meaning you are bland as fuck. Because that show is all types of awesome. Life advice comes from this show. Gustavo Fring is one of the best bad guys to ever grace the screen, bro. He's not lying. He is amazing. The code calculated and he looks so nice. He was cold. He was calculated and he got shit done. He had Walt fear for his life on the daily. And you know why that was so good is because you saw Walt go from the timid chemistry teacher to like when it snapped and he adopted the Heisenberg. Oh, yeah. Once he became Heisenberg. Now say my name. You goddamn right. Goddamn right. So then he was the big bad. And then he realized, oh, there's levels to the drug game when he ran into Gustavo. Yep. He was just like, oh, I thought I was doing it big. This motherfucker. This motherfucker. But I want what he has. I want to take over his empire. So how do I go about doing it? And it became like a... Because Gustavo was no slouch. And Walt wasn't either. So they was like playing chess. Right. Uh... It feels weird saying this. Spoiler alert for those who haven't seen it, even though it's an old show. The plan and the way they went about finally getting Gustavo out of the way was fucking... Phenomenal. Phenomenal, bro. Phenomenal. Again, I'll say this again. If you don't like Breaking Bad, that is a you problem. You need to go figure out your fucking life. Let me ask you this, then we'll move on. There's a part of that whole series that every time I watch it, I just wait for it so I can fucking bust out laughing. It is when Skylar was giving Walt shit and Walt Jr., was mad at his mom. Like, you keep acting like a b-b-b-b-b-bitch! And it... And you know what? It made me laugh, and it felt good, because, like, the whole time I'm watching this show, I'm just like, this ungrateful motherfucking lady. She was, bro. She definitely was. Like, what this guy is doing to set y'all up for success. Like, I... If she wasn't already doing shit to discredit her level of morality, you know what I'm saying? Like, you out here cheating on your husband, all this other shit with the car wash buff. You know what I'm saying? Whatever the fuck he was doing. So, like, it's not like you above the law. You're not above reproach. Right. Well, she thought Walt was bland as fuck, but at one point he was. So you smashed the car wash, dude? I mean, I get it. Whoever she was crushing in that season. But then all of a sudden, now your morality kicks in. We can't take this. You're selling drugs, Walt. Bro, shut the... Bitch! Like, the whole time, I'm like, man, why is she such a bitch? I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I bleep, I bleep, I bleep, I bleep, I bleep! We had a lot of people, though. They were in here talking about the news, which I just, I'm like, I don't think the news is an overhyped show. Like, nobody's just like, hey, you gotta check out the news. Right, right. But I get what they're doing. CNN, Fox News, MSNBC, those shows are like, bro, who is out here talking about, hey, you gotta catch fucking Tucker Carlson? Have you checked out Hannity? That shit is lit. Like, nobody's saying shit like that. We got people upset at, uh, quote-unquote reality shows like kardashians real housewives loving hip-hop they're saying you know but again those aren't shows that people are like hey you gotta see this right right um where is it at uh a lot of people said game of thrones too well I haven't seen those yeah there's there's a there's a bunch of game thrones seinfeld was another one seinfeld was another seinfeld wasn't really that funny either yeah I didn't get it at all and you know and it's february uh my blackness will not allow me to support seinfeld because they had that racist ass uh michael rich is on there yep kramer I'm just after he tried to do his little stand-up career and bombed and he just started I would have had you. 30 years ago, you would have been strung up in my front yard like, bro, this is the laugh factory. What are you doing? Sir, this is a comedy club. This is not how you want to end this. This is not a rally. Sir, this is a Wendy's. What are you doing? Get out. Get out. Sir, you're done. You're done. Cut his time. This cancel culture is crazy. Nah, motherfucker. Don't blame this shit on no cancel culture, motherfucker. You was comfortable, and now you're not. It's all subjective. It's comedy. It's all subjective. No, you're a racist. That would have been it. Mash was on here a couple times. Bro, what are you doing? Who stayed up to watch that shit? I don't know. This is one of those shows, the theme song comes on, I'm like, it's bedtime. Yep, it's time to go to bed. We've been up way too long. Pretty soon they're going to play the anthem and we're going to be dead tired tomorrow. Speaking of shopping lists, bro, you got one on here. Me? You got The Shield. The Shield, okay. Go ahead. The Shield wasn't really that good. The writing was good. The execution, I felt like, could have been better. For the time The Shield came out, it was groundbreaking shit, though. That's why I said the writing was good. But for when The Shield was out, Michael Chiklis was the dude, man. I'll give you that. The thing in Fantastic Four, and I lost all respect for him, because I'm like, bro, what are you doing? I get it. You want to try to get the superhero bag. It's partially where my hate comes from. That movie was so bad. And then at the end, they gave him the big-ass Nike Cortezes. Bro, them bum-ass, busted-ass shoes, bro. You ain't even stunned. You saved the world, and they're giving you fucking Nike Cortezes? Yep. Yep. Trash. They didn't even give you the... No J's? You know what I'm saying? They didn't give you nothing. No heats? The band ones? Nothing? No 11s? Okay. Nike, wow. You got friends on here. We talked about that. All-American? Bro. Yeah, that was overhyped. Yeah. Way overhyped. By us. Way overhyped. AD said, motherfucker, I bet the bitches had the bottoms, though, the Cortez's. They did. Bridgerton, that's another one people are like, you got to see Bridgerton. I tried it. I was just like, get all the way the fuck out of here. My wife eats it up. Mine too. I'm like, why do you like this shit? These are pretty much all the shows my wife's watch. Bro, women be on that shit because they just want hopeless romantic type shit like that. Babe, you 22 years in with me. This shit ain't happening. You ain't getting it. This shit has sailed. Fuck around and let this shit change your standard of me if you want. What you see is what you get. You fuck around and let this Netflix show fuck our marriage up if you want. Why you don't do that for me, babe? Really? Motherfucker, really? Nah, we ain't even doing that. We ain't even doing that. Ladies, y'all need to stop. Ladies, stop doing that shit, man. We out here living our lives, doing what we do on a daily basis. No problem. Bridgerton comes out. New season. oh let's maybe you want to watch britain the hell no I don't want to watch that shit I just got back from work I'm trying to relax watching these shows that I don't like when I watch shows that I don't like oh my god it's a chore it's a task I'm just like fuck man there's so many other things I could be doing right now there's so many other things bro the one on my list and it's in I have for the love of god bye oh yeah That's Grey's Anatomy. I fucking hate... This hospital should be closed. This show. I hate this show. What is it? Sacred Grace? Whatever that hospital... This shit should be closed the fuck down. Please. For unprofessionalism. I've never seen so many... One fucker smashed in the closet and going to operate. Like, unsanitary-ass doctors. Y'all got so much drama in this hospital, like... I'm going to just go to the fucking clinic. I'd take my chance. You know why he died? Because the chief of cardiology is in the fucking closet smashing the goddamn chief of trauma. Where were you, sir? Something came up. The patient's dead. Go explain to his family. He's still there on the next episode, not fired. Sir! What the fuck is happening here? So many people die in this show. So for me, it's the fact that my wife has continuously watched this goddamn show for all eight, well, they're on like 19 now. All these seasons, she's watched them on repeat for like seven times, my God. I'm not exaggerating. To the point where I know where we are. waiting for the next season to come out exactly like why do you have to watch all fucking 18 seasons of this shit to get season 19 to get spun up I gotta know what's happening before the next like no you don't no we don't 20 years no one cares 20 years of this you know what's happening yes now I gotta I gotta continuously watch Meredith Grey be a piece of shit for 16 fucking seasons bro All over again. Cancel this show. Please. ABC, Shonda, whoever's running this show, cancel it. Let it go. Please. Focus on Station 19 or some shit. So Rob come in here and talk about, I'm going to be honest, Lovecraft Country, Luke Cage, The Mandalorian, Star Wars Rebels. He says, all were made at best. none of them less than or most were less than so um he did this in february bro can we be real though like luke was luke cage really that amazing no season two was good no actually season one was good season two was mid yeah Bushwhacker. I'm just like, oh my God. Why are we doing this? Why are you exploiting our people like this? Black Eddie Gordo up here. Fucking cap wearing, knocking motherfucker Luke Cage all over the motherfucking place. Season one was amazing. I liked season one with Cottonmouth. Wait a minute. I felt some type of way with Juice was in this motherfucker just showing up. Exactly. I won't forget the actor's name. I just call this motherfucker Juice anytime. Sons of Anarchy. Walk around with shades on trying to be cool like he menacing and shit. I'm like, bitch, you was... Wasn't you like gay or something in Sons of Anarchy or some shit? Like people was thinking you was and you was bad? No, he was trying to fake like he wasn't black. It's under anarchy. Oh, that's what it was. And then old buddy was just like, oh, we know you're black. If you don't do what we tell you to, we're going to tell them you're black. He was like, well, I got to betray my people because I can't let them know I'm black. Like, when the threat of them knowing you're black is less than the threat of them finding out you were fucking betraying them, I'm like, sir, you are in a racist ass hole. All the way foul. Yeah. Yeah. Sir, is this the club you want to be in? Like, what the fuck is happening? All the way around. Get out of this club, bro. Other people that betray them? Like, there was a... What was the episode when the man had the... He got kicked out of Sam Crow. And, uh... He didn't like take the tattoo off or cover it up on his back. Oh, yeah. So he's like, we can either burn it off you or we can cut it off you. He's like, go ahead and burn it off. Shit. And that's the type of shit they do to white people that are just like, yeah, I'm not fucking with this club anymore. They do that to the whites. Yeah. Damn, he betrayed you and you did that? Fuck. Shit. I'd still rather take my chances doing that than to let you know I'm black. Because you may just kick me out. What? God damn, sir. I'm surprised nobody put Sons of Anarchy on here. I didn't think it was overrated. Deontay got Friends, The Office, Walking Dead, Breaking Bad, Blue Eye Samurai, American Dad. Whoa, whoa, whoa. Stop right there. Stop right there. What? Omit his shit because he has Blue Eye Samurai on there. Empire. Anybody who puts that in that category clearly doesn't know good work. WandaVision. Yeah, my man was... That's hate speech. That's hate speech. That's all it is. I like one of your comments. You're like, some of you out here committing high treason. Shit, Breaking Bad, Better Call Saul, Martin, Yellowstone? I don't know. Oh, here's a Game of Thrones. Yeah, Game of Thrones. Home Improvement. I felt like people were trolling. They just wanted to troll. Golden Girls. Who had Golden Girls? Marcus. Jesus, man. Who hurt you? I mean, is he just not going back watching it now? Modern Family. Oh, this person blocked non-players. uh the office like the office is like there are a lot of them that I wanted to respond back to be like the office is an acquired taste that's why it didn't I don't think him the office through season seven I think michael scott leaves after episode seven and then they try to flounder for the next two seasons or whatnot. After that, I could rewatch The Office all the way through until Michael leaves, and then I'm like, I'm off of it. On to the next. Hold on. AD, are you serious? Do you not know what Golden Girls is? Are we really this fucking old, bro? We are. We are. Goddamn, that hurt. That hurt. He knows the themes. If a theme song comes on, you know what it is. That made me feel so old reading that. Yeah. A lot of very highly regarded shows. Another Game of Thrones, MASH, The Bachelor. Warranted. Somebody got Fresh Prince of Bel-Air on here. Block this person. People come on with their little onesie twosies, but I think friends uh seinfeld and uh well everybody loves raymond yeah that was another one I'm like the fuck is this show about this is not funny ray bad ray bad that's all I'm not gonna lie I used to like that show did you yeah I did it was because of the dad the dad was funny somebody's like three company like what are we talking about The Walking Dead. I used to fuck with Walking Dead until like season four. Season five. Yeah. Season five for me. And I was just like, I can't do it no more. Bro, my wife kept watching it. I don't know what season it was, but she was watching it and I walked in the room to get something. I saw a brother with gray dreads and a tiger. Oh, yeah. That's when I stopped watching it. And the motherfucker tiger was like his pet. And I'm just like, nigga, I'm out. Like... That was just like, maybe I'll get back into it. I went in the room to get something, and she was watching, and this motherfucker was sitting in the throne with a tiger just chilling. I'm just like, nah, never mind. Not a nigga on Earth. For me to even get to the point to catch up to try to understand what the fuck is happening here? No. It's unrealistic. No black man is going to be chilling with it. No, no. Not in a zombie apocalypse. Listen, I could be a zookeeper. I could be a zookeeper as long as old buddy was at Burger King and never miss a day. A zombie apocalypse pop off and the tiger starts running free. I'm running the other way, bro. Give me to the zombies, bro. It's all right, girl. Come here. Let me just talk, bro. I ain't got the patience to be trying to train no tiger with zombies running around, bro. Nope. And then there's going to come a point where the tiger's just like, look. Ain't no more fresh meat around here. I can't eat these zombies. You right here. What we doing? You have a pulse. What we doing? A bangle tiger. You're running around with a 500. If we ever ran out of food, would you eat me? Tiger's like, yeah. Hell yeah. 100%. Have you seen the movie The Life of Pi? That motherfucker would have been in the ocean. Peter would have came out. I don't give a fuck. You know what? I would have gave it a chance. Maybe we can bond a minute. Joke bitch ass. Joke ass. What? What? What? Movie over. Swim good. Swim good. Cue up that Frank Ocean, baby. There ain't no black people doing them Life of Pi, bro. The closest we gonna get to that is your boy Idris in Beast. Oh, God. What's that movie? So bad. It's so bad. Shout out to Idris, though. You got that. Knuckles. So it's all good. It's all good. For every beast, you get a knuckles. So I guess it worked out. It did. Shout out to my nigga. Shout out my nigga Idris. Shout out my nigga Idris. All right. Hey, it's about that time, man. Hey, we told you. Some discussions have to be talked about. This bracket. Final four was this week. Some decisions were made. If you have been following the group, you kind of know what we're about to get into. But if you haven't and you depend on us to provide you these updates, we got a segment just for you. It is our weekly bracket update. Yes, sir. It's been five weeks in the works, going on six. And we have entered, we have our two finalists for our best Nick show of all time. We started out with 80-something, 82, I believe. Something along there. We've come down to the final two. But before that, let's see how the people... Chose. Their finalists. This was our final four. We had Avatar up here. You know what I'm saying? We had all that. Doug and Rugrats. If you notice, Avatar is the only one that the one seat. So it was expected to be here. And then we have all that Doug and Rugrats, the 26th, 27th and 28th overall rated shows in the bracket. And here they are in the final four, which is cool. I like the parody. I like the fact that, you know, people are standing on business and voting for what they like. You know, that's that's what we wanted here. You want to stay true to themselves. Yep. So here we are. Let's talk about the elephant in the room. Avatar, which I thought was going to be a shoo-in to at least make the final. You know what I'm saying? I didn't really see any strong competition for it. It's never been in a close match up until now. But ladies and gentlemen, when I tell you that after 163 votes in this poll, all that beat out... avatar 62 of the vote going to all that 62 of the vote went to all that um sad it's a sad day I love both shows I voted for avatar I like all that. I'm not saying it's a travesty, but I'm just like, the level of disrespect. Some people, because it was brought up, people were just like, how the fuck is this happening? Right? And I'm, bro, I'm right there with him. I'm with you. I'm with you. I'm with you. I'm like, I too would like to know how the fuck this shit happened. But I respect the people's votes. You know, that's what they want. I do. I do. I respect them, but do I like it? Nope. I don't have to like it. Nope. I can respect it. I don't got to like it. Bro, that one was a... That was a head scratcher. But people are asking, like, what is happening here? And people are just like, we have some people saying, you know, Avatar was after their time, so they got to go with what they watched, and they watched all that. So, cool. People are just like, there's a bunch of Fire Nation assholes in the group. uh people are trying to plead the case best character arcs of a show all time in zuku um uh what does this one say this just proves not enough people in this group have watched avatar because no one who has watched avatar would ever choose all that One person was like, and everything changed when the fire nation arrived. Oh, everything changed when the all that nation arrived. Yep. Sad. It is a sad day. And then some people are like, Avatar does not hold a candle to all that. Wait, what? That was Kenneth Ross, by the way. Pitmaster Kenneth Moss. I'm mad. The deceit. I'm mad. Yeah. Avatar doesn't hold a candle to all that. Cedric's in here. How is this happening? All that was great, but Avatar was phenomenal. I don't know what y'all are doing. This is a sad day for real. uh cj said all that was a groundbreaking show in a time where you had either all white or all black cast they had such a diverse group of kids everyone watching could see themselves or had representation in one of the characters yes avatar is a great series but all that transcended any other kids show on that network at the time to top it off the musical guests they had rivals the lovers and friends festival lineup for this year Once that opening theme song hit, time froze and you and your family, parents included, basked in that 30 minutes of pure bliss. Still not buying it? No, fuck that. Now that you're soliloquy is good. Nah, nah. That's great and all. I'm happy. That you found your fucking nostalgia. But let's be honest with ourselves for a minute. I love that for you. However. However. If we're being technical, all that should not have made it this far. Didn't all that go up against Spongebob? I'm going to have to go back and look at some of these brackets. All that was trouncing some motherfuckers. It was. It was doing some filthy work in this bracket. But I think that was the one that went up against SpongeBob. And when it beat SpongeBob, I was like, huh. It might be true. Uh-oh. Something is afoot. He said it beat SpongeBob. I was like, oh, hold on now. Wait a minute. Wait a minute. What's going on here? What is this? What's happening? Wait a minute. Something beat Spongebob that shouldn't have beat Spongebob. That's when I was like, okay. Y'all want some shit. It might have been on that. It was on that side of the bracket. It was. It had to have beat Spongebob. It had to have. To be Avatar, though, bro. By that much. Bro, y'all wildin'. Y'all are wildin'. Either y'all wildin' or y'all old as fuck. And I know some of you. You ain't that goddamn old. What? Y'all ain't that old. That's wild. That's wild. 84 people voted for it, man. 84 people voted. 84 people. So, like, 40 more people voted for it than Avatar. Filthy work. That's filthy work. That's crazy. But, yeah, so, obviously, as you can see, the next matchup we had was Doug and Rugrats. They're... the 26th and 27th seed, and Doug beat out Rugrats. This one was much closer. Of course. Here he goes, of course. So Doug beat out Rugrats 51% of the vote to 49. So we had 58 people vote for Doug and 54 people vote for Rugrats. Hmm. So a difference of four votes is what drove this one. Are you upset with this outcome, sir? Not really, because I felt like this could have went either way. They were around the same error. I voted for Doug because Doug was it was just one of those shows for me. But I wouldn't have been mad either way at this one. Yeah. Yeah, I voted for Doug because when it came out, I think ninety one. I think I was in sixth grade and Doug was in sixth grade. I'm just like, bro, you know, motherfuckers my age, you know, some of the things he goes through, I can relate. Some not like Rugrats was just like a, a look who's talking thing, you know, like right. Being things from a baby standpoint or whatnot. Um, as a kid, I was not looking forward to Rugrats like that. A couple of good episodes and shit, you know, uh, the baby aspect, looking at the world from a baby's eyes and shit was cool. But after a while, like, The older I got, I just vibed more with the parents and shit. Like, if I go back and watch it now, I'm just watching it for the parents and shit. I understand. Y'all motherfuckers stress the fuck out. These kids out here doing fucking whatever. Like, I'm just like, yeah, yeah, whatever, Tommy. The fuck? Like, go back to Stu. Motherfucker, I remember it was like one episode. It was like 3 in the morning, and his wife come down. He was up with Tommy. He's just been getting no sleep. She's like, what are you doing? He's like, making chocolate pudding. But it's 3 o'clock in the morning, I know. Why are you doing that? I have no idea. Yeah, this motherfucker was broken. And at the time I watched it, I'm just like, man, that's weird. Now you understand. I'm getting this shit, bro. My man was tired. Oh, shit. So now we have the 26th seed, all that. 27th seed, Doug. Listen, for you motherfuckers that voted for all that, y'all better stand on the same fucking business. You understand? Stand on your fucking morals. And keep pushing all that through? Yes. That made you make this shitty decision. Okay? Stay there. Stay making that shitty decision. The rest of us are going to spite vote for Doug. I don't know. Maybe there's a motherfucker that's just like, you know, I liked all that better than Avatar, but I like Doug better than all that. Like at this point in the game, let me tell you something. The number of brackets we've done in this group, numerous brackets. There are so many brackets where we just knew what was going to win, didn't we? Yep. Yes, Disney song. What did you think was going to win? The one that won. No, I didn't. I thought I was going to win, bro. Oh, no, you're right. You're right. You're right. I got to go back and look. It was not. I got bounced out in like either the second or third round. Oh yeah, you're right. Yeah, we were both mad at that. We 100% wore. What are y'all doing out here? What did you wear in that jacket? I think it was a Lion King song. We got to go back and look. No, it wasn't Let It Go. It wasn't Let It Go. No, Let It Go got trounced early. I thought it was an Aladdin song. No, bro. I think Whole New World made it to the... You know what? Let me utilize the power of the interwebs. Yep. And search for this shit. now I'm curious yeah me too because I need to let y'all know what kind of heartbreak you'd be giving me out here so oh that's the first round oh it's gonna make me scroll all the way down for this best disney song all time final let me just use that copy and paste that to get our answer But yeah, I was hurt. Eye to eye was struggling early. Well, the first round it won. It was like 100 to 0. I'm just like, yeah, that sounds about right. And then all of a sudden, motherfuckers was just, I'm like, bro, these gaps are getting kind of close. I don't like this. Oh, I think it might have been your welcome, honestly. Because your welcome was in the semifinals. Oh, no, they lost. It was I'll Make a Man Out of You or... Are you looking at it now? Yeah. Oh, yeah? It was I'll Make a Man Out of You won that. Did it? Yeah. Yeah, see? I fucked with that song, but it shouldn't have been winning. It went up against Hakuna Matata, though. You know what I'm saying? Yeah, it had no business winning that shit. But that's what I'm saying. That's 100% what I'm saying. At this point, You know, like, my expectations are not high. And I'm not saying, like, it's because... The heart's been broken plenty with these brackets. Yeah. I expect chaos, shenanigans, and all them other things, tomfoolery, to occur in these brackets in voting. And for the most part, this one was going... Like, I was like, I can see these things winning, but then all of a sudden... Like, I had my... My personal favorite is like, I love The Adventures of Pete and Pete. It didn't make it far enough. You know what I'm saying? Yeah. That's cool. I'm just like, it's whatever. But I'm looking at this bracket. I'm like, it's Avatar, my boy. Right. Like me, I knew Legends of the Hidden Temple wasn't going to go into the finals. I was surprised it made it as far as it did. Same. Same. But like I said, I was looking at Avatar. The voting was like, there's more and more people not voting for Avatar as the rounds went on. And I'm just like, this motherfucker probably going to get upset. You uncultured swine. I did not think it would get upset with the margin it got upset by. You know what I'm saying? I'm just like... I'm going to blame this on M. Night Shyamalan. Just because... It's his fault. It's wild. That is wild. But ladies and gentlemen, you see what it is. All that versus Doug for the final and for the title of best Nick show of all time, according to our very own pit masters. So brackets will be sent out to everybody and polls will open up on Wednesday for voting. And next Friday, we will have our champion. And then we will tease what the next bracket will be. But stay tuned. Tell your friends. The activity and the interaction with this bracket has been amazing. Great start to 2024. So we're going to try and keep this momentum going.
