Playful Introductions
00:00:22
Speaker
Hi everybody, and welcome to another episode of The Daycare Diddos. As always, I am your Gen 2 host with the Gen 2 most. P-TEP.
00:00:34
Speaker
Uh, with me always is Steve Etz. That's me. Devad. Uh, hello, Lay. And Saras. A-Aras? I'm Aras. No, that's backwards. Oh shit, uh...
00:01:00
Speaker
What am I then? I don't know. I can't do this. He said it. Sararas. Sararas. Sararas. Sararas. I don't know. It's too hard. When you get those double consonants, it's like, what? Yeah. I don't really care about my name. I just love that my ass has a brain now. My ass will bite me. Yeah. Oh, man. I have so much to say about
00:01:25
Speaker
this tale, but anyway, let's, let's, uh, let's finish. Oh, the last of mine. Yeah, it'll bite you.
Giraffe Rig: Stats and Comparisons
00:01:33
Speaker
So, uh, obviously we're here to talk about Pokemon number 203, giraffe rig, the long neck Pokemon. He's four feet, 11 inches tall and weighs 91.5 pounds.
Bake Off Predictions: Who Will Win?
00:01:47
Speaker
Uh, but first I have to ask you all who you got winning the, the bake off this season.
00:01:55
Speaker
Oh, I'm not watching Bake Off. Anybody watching? Anybody watching Bake Off? I'm still rooting for Brock. Because he's a Pokemon breeder and he makes tons of food for Pokemon. So he's got that covered, but he's also his donut game is... Yeah, donut game off the chart. He's definitely going to win pastry week, I feel like. Who do you think, Peter? Bread week as well. I think...
00:02:26
Speaker
Delilah. Yeah, she makes a mean fluffernutter sandwich. Nice. What do you think she has over the other contestants? I think she's got experience. I think her bakes are pretty even. She's got an eye for detail. I think her flavors are there.
00:02:50
Speaker
Um, I, I think, yeah, she definitely, uh, she, she did. Did she get a handshake at all? I know, but Paul was thinking about it. He was thinking about it. He, you could see it in his eyes, but you know, he's been gotten, he's had a lot of trouble. He has to be a little bit stingier because people are really looking at Paul Hollywood's hand this entire time.
00:03:14
Speaker
They really want the handshake to matter, to mean something. And Delilah didn't make the cut yet, but I think she's got what it takes. I mean, she'll get it if she wins, so. Yeah. Yeah. So, I mean, we'll see. Thanks for your insight, guys.
TV Show Recommendations
00:03:33
Speaker
Yeah, I've been watching Fall of the House of Usher. Oh, that's so good. Yeah, I really enjoyed it.
00:03:40
Speaker
We also started, uh, we started spy X family after recommendation from our good friends, Carl and Sarah. It is. I really enjoy it a lot. I really, really love it. I love that a little, I'm not going to spoil anything. I just, I just, I don't know. It's very wholesome. I'm, I'm very much him enjoying how wholesome it is given their, their career paths and powers and all that. Yeah. Who's your favorite character?
00:04:09
Speaker
I like the little girl, she's so cute. And Anya, yeah, and I've always, whenever someone asks me what superpower I'd want, it's always that I want to read people's minds. So the fact that she can, I'm just like, oh, that's so cool. Yeah, she's a sneaky little Asper. Pokemon. Yeah, it is.
Binge Reading Adventures
00:04:34
Speaker
I do like all the characters. I like the humor in that. It's very wholesome. It's a nice story. I was reading the manga for a little bit, but I was totally caught up. So I'm giving it a little bit of a breathing room so I can catch up on chat. Binge read? Yeah. Is that a thing? Yeah, binge reading is a thing. I've stayed up all night reading a book once.
00:05:00
Speaker
Yeah. I love a book like that. I'll open up. It's the Hunger Games. It's very interesting that. You were hungry for more. Yeah, I wanted to know who died. Which little child is going to die today?
00:05:15
Speaker
I've read when the Harry Potter books were coming out, I would binge those. Dressed in file books. I was binging those for a while. We would I would forget that we were recording goosebumps the next day. I'd be like, Oh, can I have to stay up late reading like I remember those days I got my shrunken head. Yeah, just trying not to fall asleep. So it's my binge reading.
Photoshop Memories: Goosebumps meets John Cena
00:05:40
Speaker
I'm, I'm re-listening and I know that eventually you got to a point where you guys hate it, but you're still so bright eyed and bushy tailed at the part where I'm at. Was it my hairy adventure or whatever that what, what it was called? I think the only stinker that you guys, uh, read so far was, uh, let's get invisible. Oh yeah. That one sucks. But then go for it.
00:06:09
Speaker
I was gonna say the best thing that I remember coming from that is I edited, I photoshopped a thing of the kid wearing full John Cena gear on the cover. So it's the same cover of the little kid holding his hand in front of his face and disappearing, but I made him wearing all John Cena gear, cause it was just too good. Cause it was like, you can't see me pose. Yeah. Yeah. And then you guys just read, um, piano lessons can be murder and, uh,
00:06:39
Speaker
You were right back. Oh, and then, no, the werewolves of fever swamp, I think, was the most recent one with your pal, Tom. And I was just like, oh, I giggled the entire time. I'm going to see this Friday. Very excited. Very excited.
Giraffe Rig vs. Real Giraffes
00:06:57
Speaker
Tell him I said hi. Give him a hug. Stare at him directly into the eye and don't break eye contact until he giggles.
00:07:07
Speaker
I mean, I will, but I won't stop staring at him, I meant. Okay. There's not a lot. There really is not. There's something I'll just say about what it's going to look like. Yeah. Yeah, I mean, he's only four feet, 11 inches. He's supposed to be a giraffe. I think he's a little short. He's a choney giraffe, yeah. I'm taller. If I am taller than a giraffe rig, you're not a real giraffe then, sorry.
00:07:35
Speaker
It really looks like a horse. It does. It's just kind of like a horse, deer type thing. I mean, what is a giraffe but a horse with pizzazz? Yeah. I mean, I wonder how tall a giraffe would be if it didn't have its neck.
00:07:51
Speaker
Mm, that's a good point. Pretty. It does have pretty long legs. Well, it'd be pretty sad because its head would fall off, Steven. No neck is getting head, which is the ground. Oh, blood shooting out just blood shooting out everywhere. Oh, no. Well, I don't like it. The lions would be liking it. That that heart can pump blood like a like a jet engine. So it's probably going like 50 feet. Like 100 feet in the air. Yeah, it's like when you those long balloons and you let them go, it's like,
00:08:21
Speaker
And it's like fire and all around like when they let go of a fire hose in a cartoon. Yeah.
Are Giraffes Primarily Homosexual?
00:08:28
Speaker
Unrelated. But I forget what episode it was where we talked about giraffes because we have talked about giraffes before. And I just remember they were really gay. They like exclusively had gay sex. So that rules. Yeah. Right. Well, I guess it's because since giraffes are so lanky and long, they must have a really long schlongs.
00:08:50
Speaker
I don't know if that works that way. It just means they can deep throat for days. They can just keep going. Yeah. It's like shallow throat to that. You can take out the biggest wiener anyone's ever seen. It's like, oh, that's as far as you can go down my mouth. Oh, that's it. That's it. Fucking coward. It's giraffe rig. Also known as the throat. Giraffe.
00:09:13
Speaker
DraftRig, I want to say this for the... What does this Pikachu look like? It's tail looks like a chain chomp from Mario. Yep. That's immediately... When I saw DraftRig for the first time and I was a wee little baby, I thought, why is there Mario in my Pokemon?
00:09:35
Speaker
Yeah, it's really weird. And kind of like when you see it for the first time, I feel like a little ominous almost. And I don't want to like spoil anything, but I feel like this Pokemon we dunk on it a lot, because it just it looks like it has so much more potential. And for a long time, it didn't.
Giraffe Rig: Type and Tail Significance
00:10:00
Speaker
And
00:10:02
Speaker
It was like in Club Dunsparce, very, very perfect in so many ways, but could be more. Yeah, but like Dunsparce, you look at a Dunsparce and you're like, all right, tired little sand snake, whatever, that's fine. But you look at Giraffric and you're like, why is that tail smiling at me? Yeah, it's very weird. Why is the half of its body consumed by shadow? What is going on?
00:10:31
Speaker
it's so weird because I like the tale is the reason why I remember it's typing so it is a normal psychic type and I for the life of me always forget that it is a psychic type until I'm like oh yeah that tail's fucked up so that's why it's that's why it's psychic yeah that's right um yeah I don't know it's a very strange
00:10:53
Speaker
just thinking about the typing today, actually, and I was like, Oh, that actually is pretty cool, because it negates the ghost weakness for the psychic type. You know, like, since a ghost can't hit a normal Pokemon, right? Yeah, yeah. So it gives it absolute resistance to ghost, but it takes away its
00:11:18
Speaker
Well, I mean, it would still be like dark would hit it hard, right? Yeah, dark would hit it. It's no longer not very effective when defending against fighting type moves. So like, you know, it's a double edged sword. It doesn't necessarily have the bulk. But and I guess it being able to avoid ghosts doesn't really help when there's only one ghost in the entire generation. So
00:11:48
Speaker
I mean, Shadow Ball became a pretty popular move to use in that generation. A lot of people used it. Everybody was playing Shadow Ball. But yeah, in terms of giraffering what it looks like, it looks like a little horse. Half of its butt is...
00:12:10
Speaker
starting to succumb to a dark shadow. It's got a little chain chomp on the butt with empty eyes. And a grimacing smile. Yeah, and it's not as tall as a giraffe. It kind of looks like a horse, but you can tell it's a giraffe because it has ossicone on its head.
00:12:32
Speaker
And that's a word that I learned today. Me too. Yeah. It's sort of like, you know, the giraffes, they have little horns on their head, but they're not horns because they're covered in flesh and hair. So they're horn-like, but what would be horns on another animal, these are covered with skin. So that's an ossicone for you.
00:13:02
Speaker
I wish I had asked. There are others. I think there are other animals that have had them. They're just kind of mostly known for giraffes.
00:13:14
Speaker
And I know that we talked about in that other episode, whichever one it was with giraffes, that they use them to like hit the necks and basically like cause the other giraffe to like pass out for a little bit. So they kind of just use them like fingers to kind of like choke.
00:13:36
Speaker
Other giraffes with yeah one thing that I well, I guess we'll get to it with the evolution But what we've learned about giraffes on this show Why do you remember why member why? Like I was gonna like did we do a goat of some sort already? No, it was a giraffe if something was giraffe bait. Oh, it was
Does Giraffe Rig Need an Evolution?
00:13:58
Speaker
amphorus. Oh
00:13:59
Speaker
Oh, duh. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. No, I think it was a Gen 1 Pokemon. What is it? I don't know. I'm trying to think now. Going to search my Google Docs for gay giraffes. Gay giraffe. You ever go to a zoo now? Like, I'm going to go to a zoo and just see a giraffe and just be like, gay.
00:14:22
Speaker
And then people will be like, hey, that's what I'm like, no, no, no, they're actually very gay. We talked about, we talked about giraffes when I was talking about, wasn't I talking about my childhood toy giraffe? No. I wasn't. No. We weren't talking about Jeffrey from Toys R Us. No, it was an actual Pokemon thing. Pretty positive. Could it have been Alolan Executor? Uh, maybe.
00:14:52
Speaker
I don't know. Hold on. I'm gonna search every note I have. I'm just gonna search it. Oh, it is. Oh, right here. Giraffe. Yeah, all giraffes bisexual almost never have sex with the same giraffe twice. 90% of total giraffe sex is male on male. 1% is female on female. So it's not even like lesbian sex. No, it's just gay. It's just gay. Yeah, that's fine. You know, that was for Lolan Executor.
00:15:19
Speaker
Yeah, I had that in my notes for a lowland executor. Crazy. Yeah. My favorite fact is that they just like use their necks and heads like bats. Yeah. And just like slap the shit out of each other. Wild to watch. With the loudest thwack. Yeah. Oh, it's like a whip. Yeah. Traferic has none of that. Wow.
00:15:45
Speaker
So this is a long neck Pokemon with an absolutely short neck. I was going to say its neck is very short. Like there are definitely other Pokemon that we've done that have longer necks than Durephric. Yeah. Maybe throat. It's got a pretty long throat. It might have a long esophagus. I'll give it that. Look at you. Look at tongue.
00:16:06
Speaker
Here's the problem with the Pokemon Company is that they're not actually telling us about so many Pokemon anatomy that we really crave as adults.
00:16:21
Speaker
Yeah, we know a couple of Pokemon organs like Mr. Mime's hair is actually like mounds of like organ flesh. Yeah. All their clothes are flesh. Yeah. Why can't you tell us about a Pokemon's perineum? Yeah.
00:16:44
Speaker
And we're back! Slight technical difficulties. We were recording a little while, but Sarah and I were not recording, so... Yeah, we were talking too much about farting, and Zencaster was like, ugh.
00:16:59
Speaker
That's two PG for the daycare dittos like, come on now. To be honest, it was the best thing we've ever made ever. It was so fucking funny, you guys. To recreate it would be a disservice to anybody. It was funny because Dave farted and then I pissed myself laughing. And then Steven shit himself and then we all came.
00:17:25
Speaker
We're up in my own lap. Oh, that was so silly when you did that. Oh my god. Then, uh, Peter, you wrote that haiku. Yeah. It was crazy. And you said it to that dragon and he cried. Yeah. And he gave me three wishes, but I said, I don't need any wishes. I'm already having the best wish of them all, recording the daycare dittos with my friends.
00:17:49
Speaker
forever. And then he said, well, he said, well, fuck you then. And then he cursed our podcast with a dragon. And then he punched me in the dick and then, uh, broke his hand.
00:18:00
Speaker
Am I right? Yeah. Uh, because I was so hard. Uh, so, uh, basically what we were getting at, we were going to piece it all together. Um, is, uh, you left off talking about how Pokemon company refuses to tell us about the good Pokemon parts that you want to hear about and see. Yeah. So we want to know about, uh, average dick length. We want to know about, uh, like,
00:18:31
Speaker
how long, well, I was going to say gestation period, but they all pass eggs, all of them. So, is that a gestation period? Well, how long the egg takes to hatch, perhaps. Yeah. Well, we already know that information, too. Oh, that's true. Yeah. Yeah. So, I guess- We know they can fucking let us watch. Yeah, let us watch.
00:18:58
Speaker
They all poop. So we should know about that. And nothing about Pokemon poop. We can see their size compared to the trainer. We can see their footprint in some of the games, but we can't see the pellet size or consistency. Meanwhile, I'm sure. Go ahead. I was going to say, meanwhile, from the very beginning, Digimon have been like, they're pooping and this is your problem now. Yeah.
00:19:25
Speaker
Like, I just want to I want to say I want to see which Pokemon has like the most human like turds. Like, what do you think, Mr. Meimtuh? A joke. Yeah, probably kind of human like Pokemon. What Pokemon shits the size of a human? Oh, Tina.
00:19:48
Speaker
And I feel like would have like a weird bird shit or something like it would be like hellas. Oh, yeah, that's like it. You're just gonna probably avoid stark matter into a different dimension. How very, like, what's the word, clean energy of it? Yeah, right. Golem just diarrhea blast sand.
00:20:15
Speaker
What is a muck other than adding its own shit to its body? Yeah, I was gonna say muck probably gives an oil slick shit on the ground. The oiliest shits. It's like what would happen to you. Watch out for that muck skid mark. You don't want to slip on that. It's kind of what happens to the human body if you drink an entire bottle of olive oil.
00:20:45
Speaker
I don't even want to imagine what that's like. No, apparently it's very painful. Really? People have done that? Yeah, I mean, it's the most calories that you can put into your body at once, but it absolutely wrecks your digestive system. Why would somebody want to do that?
00:21:07
Speaker
people have done. I mean, we used to watch like jackass and like, people putting their hands into the worst pain imaginable by sticking their hands in the glove with the the ants that made it feel like your hand was being corroded by acid. So did we talk about the yoink guy on the podcast yet? Yes, we did. We did pretty positive last week.
00:21:34
Speaker
Yeah. Yoink dude just yoinks very venomous reptiles and just lets them give him kisses. He calls them. OK. So still alive. Somehow he is. I think he might be a ghost. Yeah. Or there's just all a lot of he dubs over the videos. So my other idea is that there's a sea of dead
00:22:03
Speaker
crocodile people and he's just the voice he's like on uh you remember like america's funniest home videos how like bob saggett would be like i wonder what's in here oh no like yeah he's just the voice he's just the bob saggett yeah if you get uh hit in your coconut go to the doctors
00:22:27
Speaker
and don't let yourself be bit by venom and eat normal foods, people. That's it.
00:22:35
Speaker
Curtis from the every FFF podcast needs to eat a little bit less McDonald's and I'll be happy. Unless he gets the sponsorship. Yeah. Then it's to the moon, I say. Yeah. And so our next topic of conversation was I think a very, very good one. Very important. Very important. And viewers, you're never going to guess what it was about.
00:23:03
Speaker
Should we do it? Three, two, one. Farting. Farting. So, basically, the first factoid that we unleashed was that giraffe rig has a small head on its butt that has a tiny little brain. Oh,
00:23:27
Speaker
What were we talking about specifically? We were saying that the tail has a head, right? But it also has a brain. But the brain is incapable of independent thinking and relies on outside stimuli to guide its actions. Specifically, it talks about smell. And I made the connection that tail
00:23:51
Speaker
Smell? Tail is on an ass. Bartz comes out of ass. So this tail...
00:23:59
Speaker
must smell a lot of farts. And Steven, Steven took it further with the next detail about. Well, yeah, no, it's, it's, uh, needs to be in a luring smell, it says. Uh, so, um, I think that the, the traffic tail is more, uh, trying to grab onto something, uh, Nami and Manchi and, uh, delicious, like I do at 10 PM, uh, when I'm on the couch with my cats.
00:24:29
Speaker
and I eat an entire bag of chips.
00:24:31
Speaker
It's like when its back ass gets sniff horny. It's like how like a wiener, when something sexy's happening, the wiener perks up. But this is his ass that sniffs. That looks like a chain chomp. It's just exploring the universe with its mouth. Come on, you can't judge it. Stimulus, skin, sniff horny. Smooch him. What is that? Smooch him used to explore the universe with her lips and this tale is exploring the universe with its mouth. It's a little chompy chomps. It doesn't happen.
00:25:01
Speaker
It doesn't have a nose, yeah. But also, it sees stuff too, because they were like, don't come up from it from behind, it'll give you a bite, which I feel like is their play on like, you know, don't walk up to the back of a horse because it... But then again, it's not a freaking horse. Right. We're right back to where we started.
00:25:24
Speaker
You know, that's why I get confused because I'm like, everything you're telling me sounds like you're talking about a horse, but you're telling me it's a giraffe. I feel like you're pulling one over on me, Pokemon. Yeah. Do they even know what the animals look like anymore? My guess is no. Yeah.
00:25:46
Speaker
So yeah, this tail is a magical thing. It's very cute. I think Steven had the cutest Pokedex entry about Girafric's tail.
00:25:58
Speaker
It just chomps away when giraffes eating and monchanon grass and tree shoots, which is like, okay, something that horses would eat. I don't think giraffes are eating grass and tree shoots. They eat the trees, but whatever. But yeah, while it's eating, the tail makes chewing and swallowing motions as if it were also eating. I think that also has to do with like how small its brain actually is. It's kind of like,
00:26:28
Speaker
You know when you're trying to rub your belly and pat your head at the same time? And your hands want to do the same thing. It's like its whole body doing that. It's locked in.
00:26:43
Speaker
Yeah, I mean, I know in my heart of hearts that that's what's happening, that its brain is, its butt brain is so small that it just can't help but like inter intersect some of the signals from the main brain. That's what my heart is telling me. But brain and main brain. Good.
00:27:07
Speaker
But in my hearts, I like to think that the little brain in my heart brain, I want to think that the butt brain is saying, I'm helping, I'm helping, I'm helping. Well, what we think is they have the same belly.
00:27:24
Speaker
So it's kind of like, yeah, like I'm helping and it's like, yum, this is good. So does the tail, can the tail actually eat anything? If we put something in its mouth, will it go down its esophagus tail? We don't know. Into the same belly? I don't think they explored that. Yeah, I don't know if it eats. I think it just bites.
00:27:45
Speaker
It bites, it smells. It didn't say anything about it. Because, yeah, they say that giraffe rig is an herbivore and will eat, but they say that the mouth only makes chewing motions as if it were eating. So I don't think it can eat. Yeah, it's it's it's good for a lot of things, but helping a giraffe rig eat is not one of them.
00:28:13
Speaker
We had talked briefly about how since the butt brain is so small, it doesn't need to sleep. So one of the advantages of having the butt brain is to be able to detect any motions or threats or dangers while giraffe is sleeping. How helpful. Yeah.
00:28:41
Speaker
And one of the benefits of the main brain is that you get to contemplate your own mortality. So sometimes you are contemplating your own mortality, so you have to just drain your main brain. Oh my goodness. I love this.
00:29:05
Speaker
Yeah, literally butt. So we talked about giraffe rigs typing being normal and psychic. The giraffe rig part is what brings on the normal typing. The back end is the only part of the giraffe rig that has any sort of psychic ability. So it's kind of psychic ass.
00:29:32
Speaker
Yeah, it's got a psychic ass and apparently you don't need a big brain in order to unleash psychic attacks. I mean, Psyduck taught us that. That's right. Slowpoke.
00:29:47
Speaker
Yeah, actually, I mean, like the less in there, the better because then psychic energy. But also like it kind of reminds me of those computers that have like hybrid drives, where you got like that one little extra drive in there for like fixing processes and stuff. It's kind of like, yeah, his butt brain small and dumb. But like we only have one brain. It's still winning. Even if it's like a 10th of a brain, they still got one, one, one 10th of a brain still beating us.
00:30:15
Speaker
Did you remember that Scarlett Johansson movie that the trailer made everybody laugh? They were quoting it all the time. And it was Morgan Freeman saying like, oh no, they've unleashed her upon the world. And they're like, oh, what is it? You know how human beings only use 10% of their brains? Well, Scarlett Johansson can use 100%. Oh my God.
00:30:41
Speaker
Yeah, and she used it to like change her hair color and stuff, which is like, I don't think that's what the brain does, but okay. And also I, you do use a hundred percent of your brain at all times, it's just not consciously. Oh, he's using all of his brain right now to type. Where ScarJo used 100%.
00:31:06
Speaker
And your computer sounds like a fake computer sound. Keyboard sound. It is. Oh, it's called Lucy. Yes. Yeah. I was going to say like Ruby. I knew it was like one word. Yeah. So let's see where it ranks. Giraffe rig is even better. 110 percent of his brain, baby. Yeah. I must suck, though, that like you ever like
00:31:35
Speaker
It definitely gets shit on its tail. Oh my god, for sure. For sure. Yeah. I just want to find the rating for Lucy. The IMDb rating. 2014? That was so long ago. It's about a decade ago, yeah. Wild. That's a scary concept.
00:32:01
Speaker
Yeah, time is a boat, don't you know? So I'll hit you with the names real quick. So we've got giraffe rig, which is a palindrome. So it reads forwards the same way it does backwards based on the word giraffe, giraffe rig. In Japanese, it is also a palindrome. It is kiri-nri-ki.
00:32:30
Speaker
So it turns into Kiri Niki, or sorry, Kiri Neeriki. That's cute, I like that.
00:32:39
Speaker
Yeah, but it's just, it's again, it's using the word, the characters for giraffe and just kind of making a palindrome with them. And then I thought it was interesting that a lot of the other languages just used either the Japanese or English name, but Korean had its own palindrome from its word for giraffe, which was Ki Ling Ki.
00:33:04
Speaker
Cute. Yeah, they really stuck to the palindrome concept across all languages, which is really cool. And yeah, a lot of the idea behind this Pokemon is kind of based on the fact that it's got like two heads. You know, kind of front to back, it's the same thing. Yeah.
00:33:30
Speaker
I always liked the way giraffe rig looked. I knew it wasn't that good of a Pokemon, although I did see a YouTube video recently about how in, it was just an entire video about how in FireRed and LeafGreen Nuzlocke challenges, this person recommends picking up a giraffe rig if you could, because apparently
00:34:00
Speaker
Typing works well with a lot of the gym leaders and Elite Four battles. So I trust it. It seems like a reputable source of information. So I will consider using draft rig in the future on my teams. Well, you know, you could have raised and evolved into a draft rig at one point.
00:34:28
Speaker
Yeah, it was originally supposed to be an evolved form. It was originally a Pokémon called Swinzu. T-S-U-I-N-Z-U, which actually means twins.
00:34:47
Speaker
So it looked, I don't know if you guys saw the sprite, it was on the bottom of Bulbapedia. It literally looks like two spirits, like two Haunters kind of connected to each other. So kind of like the pre, like their amoebas as ghosts, the spirits that become this. So it was an original design.
00:35:07
Speaker
that kind of led into the palindrome as twins that made giraffe rig the conjoined twin to pokemon when you think about it yeah which like completely reimagined and i look at it differently after learning that but it's it's kind of interesting because everyone's like where's its evolution where's its evolution and i didn't see this as anything other than a
00:35:31
Speaker
first evolution. Like it doesn't have second evolution energy in my eyes. Even if this was a baby form, the weird little baby ghosts, it's just kind of strange to me. Yeah, that would have been one of the strangest evolutions, I would say, to go from sort of like a spirit or ghost type to a animal, even though
00:36:01
Speaker
The original beta spray for draft rig had like the draft rig head was also on its tail, right? It was like a perfect. Like a mirror image. Mirror image with one side being the yellow light side and the other end being the. The dark side. The dark side. So it was, I don't know.
00:36:30
Speaker
I like this giraffe rig better. I like it that it was just a basic Pokemon until Gen 9. Yeah. Gen 9. Yeah, it took a long time for it to get some attention. Yeah. Did you see the thing too about how the perfect mirror giraffe rig is a reference to the push me pull you? Yeah, from Dr. Doolittle.
00:36:56
Speaker
Yeah, and I was like, in that Eddie Murphy movie? Really? And I was like, no, the other Dr. Doolittle. Yeah, I don't know if it was like a direct reference to. They probably were just like giraffe mirror done, you know, instead of being like, oh, let's reference this obscure or not obscure, but this, you know, comic or whatever.
00:37:20
Speaker
But it was just a this other animal that was a gazelle unicorn cross animal with two heads on each ends. And it's called the push me pull you because obviously if one's pushing, then the other one's getting pulled. So yeah. But yeah, just so I was like, oh, another little giraffe rig out in the wild. Yeah, it was also originally supposed to be dark normal type.
00:37:49
Speaker
Um, and then they changed it to psychic normal. Um, and a lot of instances in the Pokedex, uh, they call the tail an organ instead of, you know, a living thing. It's a sexual organ. It fits the whole tail into the, uh, other drafric's ass. Yeah. Oh, uh, the brain is the largest sexual organ. So.
00:38:16
Speaker
I thought the skin was. Is the skin an organ? I don't know why I heard that. I thought the skin was the biggest sexual organ. What's bigger, my skin or my brain? And I might be dumb, but like if you ball up all of my skin.
00:38:32
Speaker
Is that bigger than my brain? I think in terms of mass, we're talking about a classic surface area versus volume issue. Yeah. But how thick is my skin? How deep does my skin go? How thick is your dermis? I think your dermis goes pretty, pretty deep, at least like a half inch or so. We got to talk to a predator.
00:38:55
Speaker
We got to talk to a tattoo artist. They wouldn't know. Maybe. Because Predator is always ripping people's skin off, especially Predator 2. Or the Pyramid Head from Silent Hill. Did you see that movie? Real good at it. Very clean. Clean rip. So maybe he could do that. And then we can get somebody who's good at removing brains a la Baraka from Mortal Kombat 2. And then we can finally compare.
00:39:21
Speaker
That would be a great little lesson with Professor Pyramid Head and Baraka. They're going to teach us math. It's like you know how there was like to learn typing with Mario? Yeah. It's like learn anatomy with Mortal Kombat and friends. I guess they would have an intimate knowledge, yeah.
00:39:46
Speaker
Is there anything else that we forgot about this guy? Other than that first appearance in the main series was in an episode called the psychic sidekicks under the ownership of cherry The bond that it has with cherry allows it to predict the future and it takes on team rockets giant Gengar that they have and yeah, it uses future sight basically it cheats It sounds like a normal episode of Pokemon to me. Yeah. Yeah
00:40:14
Speaker
I had something a little interesting about, there was a little snippet about the Pokemon Mystery Dungeon low HP quote. And I was curious about that because I wasn't quite sure what they meant by it. But basically, if you're playing Pokemon Mystery Dungeon, and you have a giraffe rig, and it gets to low HP,
00:40:33
Speaker
The Pokemon, whatever it is, will say something. And Giraffarix is also a palindrome. So what Giraffarix will say is, here's so long? No loser, eh?
00:40:49
Speaker
have to give a huge shout out to this user on Reddit, osu!kise100001, on the Mystery Dungeon Forum, because they compiled a Excel spreadsheet of every Pokemon and everything that they say. And like, that must have taken so long.
00:41:13
Speaker
So also like every unknown has its own dialogue. So A has its own dialogue, B has its own dialogue, like every single one. And it all started because they found this weird dialogue that you can't maybe access of Cincino, where on introduction, Cincino will say, I used to run a gift shop.
00:41:35
Speaker
What? And then if it is at low HP, it will say, can't make much money off my shop. Running a business isn't easy. So, yeah, like unknown Z says I'm Z best. And then if it has low HP, it says Z end you think never.
00:42:03
Speaker
Um, I gotta play those mystery dungeons games. They look so fun. I can locate little Pokemon losing, but all's not lost yet.
00:42:16
Speaker
I don't know, I'm just reading the unknowns. But yeah, they just, there's a Excel spreadsheet you could find if you look for it, it is like thousands of entries long. It sounds like all the work that Alex does over every F and FF. 100%. But we were then able to learn about here so long, no loser, eh?
00:42:45
Speaker
That's a good one. I always love a good palindrome. A man, a plan, a canal, Panama. Giraffarig and Furigraf have a signature move that was introduced to them in Gen 9 called Twin Beam. And if you level up with Twin Beam as your move,
00:43:08
Speaker
You can wolf. Before we get there, I just have one quick thing to say. Okay. The female has actually a slightly larger yellow segment. It has a gender difference. And the shiny. It's so hard to see. The shiny's bad. Yeah. Well, yes. Not that they care because they're gay. They don't care about gender. They're going for anybody. Oh, you meant the gender thing is hard to see. Yeah, it's really hard for me to differentiate.
00:43:38
Speaker
They don't care. They don't differentiate anything. They're just down the fuck. Doesn't matter who you is. They are really down the fuck. Giraffes love it. Little mouth, big mouth, they both get weird. I mean, why not? You want to kiss my little mouth? Fine. I'm okay, just don't spook it or smell weird. Whatever makes them happy, you know? You know what they say, the more mouths, the better. That's right. You can do like a human centipede of kissing.
00:44:08
Speaker
It's like a weird fucked up cat dog situation where cat dog is kissing giraffe rig, is kissing giraffe rig, is kissing that little mouse that was like fucking. Oh, yeah, in the house, it's like Stewart or something. Was it? And he's always like, eh, like he was a little fucker, that guy. What was his name? Let's see. And he was a mouse, but he had like a human nose.
00:44:34
Speaker
Cat dog mouse. I want to say his name was like Milo or some shit. It was something. Oh, Winslow. Winslow, odd fellow. Yeah. Hey, you cat dog. He's a blue tailless mouse, but he's just like a little gremlin. God, he was fucking nuts. He were like overall is a crazy guy. Do you know that twin beam is like a meh move, but it acts really weird?
00:45:01
Speaker
from what i read it was a 40 base power psychic attack that hit twice it did but it had the same chance of being a critical hit for each individual attack yeah but isn't that with any multi-hit attack um a critical hit is calculated per hit
00:45:26
Speaker
Oh, I didn't know. Yeah. So there's that between the two. Um, but the thing is if twin beam, if it, uh, it'll hit again. If the first strike breaks a substitute and mirror coat will only acknowledge the second strike of this move too. Okay. That's some weird things. It kind of like reads more as an attack twice instead of a multi-part attack sometimes. Okay. It's a weird one.
00:45:56
Speaker
Yeah. I don't know how counter mirror coat move work against multi hit attacks. I know that multi hit attacks are good for breaking substitutes. Like you will use like an icicle spear or a rock blast to break a substitute and then still be able to do damage behind the substitute. I believe based on what I read last week, it
00:46:23
Speaker
deals damage based on how much damage was taken in the last turn. So it might just add it all up. The counter and the mirror coat. Yeah, is that what you're saying, right? Yeah. Additional research is required. Yeah. Sometimes Pokemon math is a little tricky. Yeah. It gets a little weird.
00:46:51
Speaker
You know, a lot of times, too, between generations, subtle things will change. A lot of times in the same generation, certain Pokemon games will do things a little bit differently, too. Like between like the Pokemon XD and the Gen 3 games, sometimes some of the rules change a little bit. So it's really hard for my
00:47:19
Speaker
my professor brain to keep track of things between generations. And a lot of the things that might have changed in this most recent generation, I might not have even, you know, figured or read about, so. Long history of Pokemon. Too long. Yeah, that's me. About done. And still going. They're still making history.
00:47:44
Speaker
Yeah. And speaking of which, Farafarig is some recent history. Yeah. That is. Yeah, it is. Frigaraff. Frigaraff, that's it. Yeah. I for the longest time was saying Faridraff. Yeah. I was like, because it's one of those Pokemon names and I looked at it and I'm like, nope, I'm not learning that. I'm not going to have to learn that. And I did have to learn it. Yeah. My. Yeah.
00:48:13
Speaker
When I heard that we were going to be recording today, I thought to myself, Peter, look at yourself in the mirror. Stay for rigoraffe a bunch of times because you're not going to mess it up in front of all your fans. I already did. It's so funny. It's so funny. I was like, when the game came out, I was like, I'm not learning this Pokemon's name. I'm not going to be able or I'm not going to use it or need it or whatever. I'm not going to learn this Pokemon. And then I have an Etsy shop where I make
00:48:42
Speaker
decals and I do have open commissions. If you want me to make you one, let me know. But I had someone message me and they're like, can you make me a fairy giraffe? And I'm like, no, are you serious? I have to actually care about this Pokemon now. But I didn't. But I honestly
00:49:05
Speaker
It is such a great evolution for a Pokemon that needed one for so long. When I saw it, I was just like, you kept the palindrome, you gave it a cool spacesuit helmet. It's actually a giraffe now. I like the Pokemon. It's awesome. Yeah, I like the Pokemon. I just hate that I had to learn how to say its name.
00:49:29
Speaker
Yeah, no, definitely. And I'm like, that looks like chainsaw. I just walked all over my keyboard and gave it his best shot. And in Paldea fashion, good luck if you know how to evolve it because I wanted one and I just didn't end up with one because I never actually like tried. But I'm like, yeah, some of these Paldea evolutions, it's like ridiculous how you have to get them.
00:49:57
Speaker
Frigaraff. Frigaraff. Frigaraff. Frigaraff. Frigaraff. Frigaraff. Frigaraff. Frigaraff. Frigaraff. Frigaraff. Frigaraff. Frigaraff. Frigaraff. Frigaraff. Frigaraff. Frigaraff. Frigaraff. Frigaraff. Frigaraff. Frigaraff. Frigaraff. Frigaraff. Frigaraff. Frigaraff. Frigaraff. Frigaraff. Frigaraff. Frigaraff. Frigaraff. Frigaraff. Frigaraff. Frigaraff. Frigaraff. Frigaraff. Frigaraff. Frigaraff. Frigaraff. Frigaraff. Frigaraff. Frigaraff. Frigaraff. Frigaraff. Frigaraff. Frigaraff. Frigaraff
00:50:16
Speaker
And it's a tall boy, 10 feet, six inches tall, and 325.7 pounds. Okay, now that's more like it. 10 feet. Okay, now we're a giraffe. Yeah, we're going into giraffe territory.
00:50:33
Speaker
Sorry for anybody who doesn't want to be in giraffe territory, but you're in it now. Bad news. You're leaving horse country and you're in giraffe territory now. Welcome. So what does this Pikachu look like? I think we've touched upon it a little bit. It's a taller, tailless giraffe. The tail has encompassed giraffe rig's head.
00:51:02
Speaker
And they live closer together. I think at the giraffe, rig tail, the, the, the butt brain was getting tired of being farted on moving up. Yeah. Yeah. Sometimes you start as the tail and make your way up to the head. So before we cut, we were talking about how much I love that, uh,
00:51:29
Speaker
giraffes that we learned in the previous episode just smack the shit out of people and use their head as a weapon. Yeah. And I love that this Pokemon is made for that. It basically has a sharp spine down its back. And it's like a little helmet that it can close up so that it could better protect its head when beating the shit out of other people by headbutting it. Yeah, apparently, uh, what the
00:51:59
Speaker
Outer head will close so that the inner head has extra protection. And by doing so, it kind of sturdies up the whole neck so that they can break stone and steel beams now with the force of an attack from their neck. Ferrigorabs can't melt steel beams. Yeah.
00:52:28
Speaker
They can break them with their head though. Yeah. I just looked it up and Ferrigoraph still isn't meeting the mark because average giraffes can range from 16 to 18 feet tall. I don't know why they keep these giraffes so short in Pokemon.
00:52:49
Speaker
I think they just don't want to scale things up too big as a sprite anymore. Yeah, like in Pal day you might see it in the wild and you want it to be like in frame, I guess. Although I have to say,
00:53:08
Speaker
just seeing like a herd of furrigraphs is so cute. There's a, I'm sorry, Sarah, but I already knew about one card of furrigraph and it's just- Oh, that is very interesting. Okay. It's in a big old field of other ones. It's so cute. Is it? Yes, it is cute. I saw that one too. I love it. And yeah, I don't know. I just...
00:53:35
Speaker
improved in every way. Doper, cooler, stronger. The shiny is better. The shiny is better. The shiny is like more of a red color as opposed to just like a little bit darker. And it's got like a blue nose instead of a red nose. Yeah, I was surprised I didn't bring more blue accents to kind of mimic the other one, but I like it. It's fine. It's better. You know, it's not the best, but.
00:54:06
Speaker
Yeah. So one of the things about giraffe rig now having an evolution, which I didn't talk about before, but now that we're talking about the evolution, we can go back to giraffe rig and note that giraffe rig now is a valid Pokemon to use in the little cup, which is a pre evolved Pokemon level five. And apparently it is a
00:54:35
Speaker
beast in the little cup. So good for giraffe rig. Good for you. It's kind of cheating. It's like broadest friend. Yeah. And, uh, for a giraffe is, uh, I think fairly notable in double battles and, uh, also in some of the, uh, the lower modes of battling, uh, like NUPU. I don't know which one it is. What, what
00:55:05
Speaker
class it is in, but apparently it does pretty well for itself. This is partially because of its signature ability, Armor Tail.
00:55:15
Speaker
which prevents it and its allies from being hit by priority moves, which can be stankers. So that's your quick attacks, your bullet punches. Swift. Yeah. And even things that have been boosted in priority by the prankster ability, which makes non-damaging moves go up a tier.
00:55:44
Speaker
Anything that says that it will... Oh, did you say Swift, Steven? Yeah, isn't that a priority move? It is not. Oh, wow. It's a never miss move, I think. Got you. Yeah. That's all good. Can it continue to have that move when it becomes a Frigarath? Because it ain't got no tail no more. No, armor tail is the signature ability of Frigarath.
00:56:14
Speaker
Oh, it's a Frigarath. Yeah. It doesn't have a tail. It doesn't have a tail. It's tailless now its head and its head is armored by the tail. Yeah, but that doesn't make any sense because when it becomes a head, it's a head. It's like the shadow part and the tail just like totally moved to the front side of the body and just
00:56:34
Speaker
I just I don't know like I when I first saw for a giraffe I was like is this one of those like sad parasite Pokemon like am I gonna learn about for a giraffe and just feel bad for it.
00:56:45
Speaker
No, but I just found a picture, and it doesn't have a tail. It's where its tail was. It's got a little line that goes right into where its butt crack is. Yeah, you heard it here first, folks. If you use the signature ability armor tail on your furry ref, you are going against... That's a glitch. That is something that's not intended to be used, and you're going to jail. You're going to jail. It's fake. Hold on, I'm dropping it. Here's the proof.
00:57:15
Speaker
Take a look at that. That's the link to the image. You get to see this thing's butthole. Oh, yes. This looks right up its ass on this photo. That's no tail. But then again, is a tail a tail if it's not on your back? If you rip my dick off and put it on my elbow, would it still be a dick? Hmm.
00:57:39
Speaker
Yeah, no, I see what you're saying. Like, you know, if you like is like, if my nose was on my ass, would it still be a nose? That's a tail. Or would it just be my ass? Like, these are the hard hitting questions that we ask on daycare. I guess it's still it's no, but it evolved. So it's different now. It's not still a tail. Like we've evolved. Do I call my arms my my flippers?
00:58:05
Speaker
I think it's because it's the fact that the tail was a its own thing. So I don't think they're referring to it as the tail as in like its tail. They're more so referring to it as, quote unquote, the tail. So it's like slang. The signature ability armor butt brain doesn't fit. True, but I liked it. I thought it was neat. All right, I'll let it slide this time, Pokemon.
00:58:35
Speaker
You're on notice. Evade me, Dave. That's a palindrome. I looked up a list. Oh, damn, and I'm in that one. Fuck, how'd they know? Yo, banana boy. Sir, I demand I am a maid named Iris. What is she demanding? Whatever you want. Red roses run no risk, sir, on nurses order.
00:59:05
Speaker
He lived as a devil, eh? I hate it when they end with eh, because that feels like a cop out. I guess so. Ned, I am a maiden. That's it. That's all I got. A slut nix's sex in Tulsa. Ooh. Race car.
00:59:27
Speaker
Race car, yeah. I remember learning about palindromes in school and being really, really angry that I didn't know what they were before this one kid who always seemed to know fucking everything. Like he was so smart and just so ahead of the curve of everyone in our class and it pissed me off so much. I'm like, oh, there's no way he's going to know what this shit is. And then
00:59:49
Speaker
The teacher was like, if you know what a palindrome is, come up to the board and write one. And he just waltzed right up there and wrote the word race car. And I was so angry at this motherfucking kid. I don't know why, it's just so funny. That's when I learned what a palindrome was. Satan, oscillate my metallics and autos.
01:00:16
Speaker
That's a good one, man. That's a good thing. Satan drives a sonata. And as we all know, Jesus drives an accord. So I'm always really impressed not with the palindromes, but when people design those words where if you like flip them a hundred degrees, it's the same. I think it's called an ambigram. I think something like that. Yeah.
01:00:39
Speaker
because I think the word ambigram, if you were to. That's a acrylic song to say. Ambigram. Banana jam, baby. Taco cat. That's a good one. Taco cat. Yeah.
01:00:58
Speaker
So the two brains of the main brain and the butt brain are now connected through thick nerves. And this enhances Ferrigoraph's psychic ability tenfold, which I call bullshit because this Pokemon is legitimately not ten times stronger than Girafric. So I think the Pokemon company has two things to
01:01:28
Speaker
own up to now. They've got it on the armor tail. I got it on the fact that they say it's a net increase of 10 times. No, it's not. It's not. Statistically, I heard that too. You know what it reminds me of? What's that? K. K, a red nude pooped under a yak. Oops, I ran on Ari's poop.
01:01:52
Speaker
Oh no. All right, now I'm good. I'm closing these windows. I'm closing them up. We got to finish this. So when it uses its psychic abilities, the eyes on the tail head will glow green and the psychic abilities come out of, they call it the horns on its head, the four horns that
01:02:16
Speaker
free giraffe has on its head, but as we know from before, those are called ossicone, not horns. So that's three things that the Pokémon Company has to do. And they're calling them antennas now. Oh, antennas? Nope. I thought they're calling them. Yeah, Pokémon Company needs to call those ossicones and get their facts straight. Don't you guys remember what a giraffe does?
01:02:40
Speaker
Uh, what does the draft do? No, I'm just saying Pokemon. No. Well, yeah. Yeah. 90, 90% of the time, right? Yeah. Love that. That's kind of wild. Like how, how are they not an endangered species? You just have to have a lot of sex. I guess. Yeah. I mean, even if you're, you're, uh-oh.
01:03:08
Speaker
We lost our Steven. Yeah. Man, we've been really having some trouble with our audio tonight. Yeah. I'm going to pause it and see if he comes back. Watch it and I'll stop it. Let's stop it. Ma is a nun, as I am. Hey, there he is. You open it, boy. You have to leave so you could find that very stellar palindrome. It's a Pokemon company. We're asking these deep questions they don't want asked.
01:03:40
Speaker
And I have a question of my own, too. How many cards do you think? Yeah, let's get to it because this website is dying. It is. Yeah, yeah. Speedrun this. All right. Well, I mean, that's a question I should be asking you. How many cards do you think three of you, Peter, Dave, Stephen, how many cards does Giraffe Rig appear in on the TCG trading card game?
01:04:11
Speaker
Let a girl know. Let a girl know. I'm gonna say for giraffe rig, a healthy 14. 16. I was feeling 18. Steven's on point with, the total is 13, so Steven was the closest. That was our gen two baby. Not baby, but our gen two little giraffe rig. But then we go to,
01:04:39
Speaker
Uh, hold on, I'll get it. Frig rap. Frig rap. Frig rap. Gen 9. So, brandy new. Um, we know there's at least one card. So how many, how many total do we think? Uh, three. Two. One.
01:05:03
Speaker
Oh, Dave got it. There's only one. And Steven, you still had already. I just went off what I knew. I was like, oh no! Yeah, he sold one card. The only card.
01:05:16
Speaker
Well, so it wasn't even I was just looking through a set of cards and I saw just that one in that set of cards. So it's not even like I went to Farigarath's page and saw that. It was just like in the wild. I was like, oh, what a cute card and moved on. They also had a really great Magikarp card in that same scent. I sent it to Cody. Nice. Our guest.
01:05:45
Speaker
Well, uh, giraffes love to fuck, so let's talk about it. They sure do. This is the who you're going to fuck game. This is, uh, I'm going to name four Pokemon. You're going to tell me which one if bred with, uh, giraffe rig or for rigor app would not produce an egg. Here we go. We have Espeon, Spoink, Mawile, and Drowzee. Wait, wait, wait. Can you say them again?
01:06:13
Speaker
Espeon, Spoink, Mawile, and Drowzee. Spoink, Mawile. I think Mawile too.
01:06:26
Speaker
And it was Drowsy. Really? So this is a weird one because it's only a field type. So basically you can breed with like almost everybody, including each other. But I just picked all psychic type Pokemon that were or psychic adjacent really in fields, which there weren't that many. And then Drowsy just kind of seemed to fit.
01:06:52
Speaker
Spoink and Drowsy were very normal, but that is a human shape, so. Yeah, okay. All right. Friggin' humans. I'm looking at these cards now. Did you look at the Fergarraff card? It's so cute. I did. It's so cute. And then I saw an Orthwurm card that's really good. It's so cute. Yeah. That whole set, I think it's the Paldea Evolved set.
01:07:19
Speaker
Yeah. Got some great full art cards. I should pick up some packs.
01:07:27
Speaker
We are the daycare dittos. Thank you for listening to what I will call our hardest to record episode yet, but it was worth it because you got to listen to us and we had to share this wonderful time with you. Thank you to Carl Jerm who did the music for our podcast.
01:07:53
Speaker
he was streaming today he's very fun to watch he has a potty mouth beware uh so if you're okay with cuss words i i try not to cuss that often i caught you peter i caught you saying the word shit in one of our recent podcasts and i was like yeah he did it
01:08:16
Speaker
and uh you can get us uh you can uh follow us on instagram at the daycare diddos or just daycare diddos i don't remember daycare diddos at daycare diddos um and uh we gotta finish this really quick three two one party party
