Speaker
Hey guys, does it smell like up dog in here? Uh, what's up dog? Not too much. How about you? Yay, I like that.
00:02:41
Speaker
Oh my God. Welcome to daycare, Diddas. Yes, we're here. We survived the poor air quality. I'm out of all this up dog, but I still have tons of ligma over here.
Air Quality Concerns in North America
00:02:54
Speaker
Ligma? Ligma nuts. God.
00:02:58
Speaker
Um, yeah, no this uh, we're recording this uh on the the week of the poor air quality um Where I think new york city was for a day. Uh, the worst air on planet earth to breathe in. Yep You know what? Who do we like to thank first of all? I'd like to thank canada for this this honor oh canada and uh
00:03:28
Speaker
I decided to go for a run during one of those days. Are you crazy? No, I went for a walk. Oh, you guys are nuts. It was only one mile, so it wasn't a crazy run, but it was National Running Day. If I went for a run on my app, I would get a badge and I had to get the badge.
00:03:50
Speaker
See, I just took pictures of flowers. Okay. I think also the most ironic thing was that June 7th, which is yesterday, we're recording this on June 8th, but in Canada, this is so funny, you can Google this, June 7th is clean air day in Canada.
00:04:10
Speaker
Hilarious. But also, I hope everybody up in Canada is doing well. Yes, it is safe. We have wildfires, over hundreds of wildfires spanning the area of our entire state going on right now. I think I saw online that one of our buddies, listener Elijah, is our good Canadian correspondent up there coming from the cold north. Hope he and his family and friends are all OK because, you know,
00:04:41
Speaker
The smoke sucks, but the fire's worse. Yeah. Fire bad, as Frankenstein's monster used to say. You know what's weird about that? What's that? He's still Frankenstein. Yeah. Because, like, they kind of screwed themselves when there's the movie called Frankenstein's, like, the Bride of Frankenstein. Yeah. Because it's the monster's bride.
00:05:09
Speaker
Yeah, really makes you think. Yeah, I mean, I'm named after the person who made me so I'm named my dad's monster. Yeah, my dad and mom's monster.
Podcast Milestone: 100th Episode Celebration
00:05:23
Speaker
Yeah, a real monster.
00:05:25
Speaker
We are the Daycare Dittos, collective foursome of friendship, coming to you fast and hard with the straight Pokemon facts. This is, according to Steven, our 100th episode, and we have something special for you in the fact that we have nothing special for you.
00:05:49
Speaker
That's not true. I have a little something prepared, but I think we should introduce ourselves first. So Steven used a leopard berry. We also have Sarah. I like the raspberries. And Dave? What berries, Dave?
00:06:11
Speaker
Dave is learning how to use his mute button. He
Exploring Pokémon Berries and Humorous AI Interactions
00:06:17
Speaker
would be like a Panat Berry? Oh, I like the Panat Berries. They're in Pokemon Go and they make me get more candy. The Prism Berries are the ones that cure confusion? Which one's it called? Confusion Berries again? I'm not sure. I get them all confused because they have different effects in Pokemon Go. Yeah.
00:06:42
Speaker
Yeah, person berries. Person berries? What do those do? They cure confusion, which is the state that I'm always in. Oh my goodness. Nothing bothers me more than when a Pokemon gets confused. I get so mad. Because here's my thing with that. Whenever another Pokemon confuses you, it lasts forever. But when you confuse another Pokemon, they just snap out of it like next turn. It's like, go fuck yourself.
00:07:12
Speaker
Like same thing with like getting hit with confusion. Right. It'll happen to you 80 hundred times and then to the other Pokemon zero. It'll hit through all of them. Right. Exactly. I'm back. Yeah, there is when I was really it's really so I moved my stuff around. I was rewiring and I just kicked the surge protector and shut off everything in my room. Very good. What area are you? I was going to say bury my face in a good book.
00:07:41
Speaker
Oh. That's a good one. We were just talking about confusion, the berry that cures that because you leave and confused us. Yeah. Confusion is better now because it used to be a 50% chance to hit yourself, and now only a 33% chance to hit yourself. Love that. I love that. Does, can, wait, does not to and not to, can they learn confusion?
00:08:08
Speaker
Probably makes sense because they're psychic before we get to that in celebration of our hundredth episode I so I think we all know that in the Pokemon universe on anything's hundredth birthday It evolves and it turns into a real thing. We learned that in the Voltorb episode so
00:08:31
Speaker
I did something that I thought I would never do, which was utilize an AI machine. What? But I had an AI write a Pokedex entry for our podcast as if our podcast came to life and is a Pokemon now. Oh, my God. I cannot wait to hear this. So we have Pokemon Daycare Dittos. Category is parental mimic Pokemon. Type normal. Height is one foot eight inches.
00:09:00
Speaker
Weight is 19.8 pounds.
00:09:03
Speaker
and we have the ability Nursery Aid. The Pokedex entry is Daycare Dittos, the parental mimic Pokemon. Known for their incredible nurturing abilities, Daycare Dittos can commonly be found in daycare centers where they create an atmosphere of comfort and relaxation. They emit gentle scented gases that have a calming effect on the Pokemon in their care. These gases are a combination of delicate floral fragrances and therapeutic aromas creating a serene environment.
00:09:31
Speaker
Daycare Dittos are typically gentle and kind-hearted Pokémon, always eager to help and take care of others. They create a nurturing atmosphere within Pokémon Daycares, ensuring that all young Pokémon feel loved and protected. Their friendly nature and desire to assist trainers and other Pokémon have made them beloved companions for trainers and caregivers alike.
00:09:53
Speaker
In the wild, daycare dittos are social creatures and often form small communities where they take turns caring for each other's young. They are peaceful and non-confrontational, relying on their transformation ability to mimic more threatening Pokémon when faced with danger.
00:10:08
Speaker
Daycare Diddos have a natural talent for breeding as well. They're known to assist in egg hatching and have an uncanny ability to determine compatible pairs of Pokemon for optimal breeding results. Their nurturing instincts and knowledge of genetics make them invaluable assets in Pokemon breeding programs. Have fun in the Pokemon world. I like that little thing at the end. Have fun in the Pokemon world. I will.
00:10:37
Speaker
Thanks, AI Machine, for creating the Pokemon our podcast would be, emitting gases in the quarters of decades. I love that. Thank you for doing that, Steve. Of course. That was more in-depth than we've ever gotten. Yeah.
00:10:59
Speaker
It just I loved how it like provided like the whole in the wild. This is where you can normally find them. Like it's kind of the stuff that you do see in the Pokedex. I was like, Okay, yeah, you you did a good job. Did you use the chat GPT thing? I don't even want to
00:11:18
Speaker
summon its name. That which shall not be named. Yes, I did. And I did guide it in certain aspects. But mostly I just said, write a Pokedex entry for daycare dittos as if it was a new Pokemon and that's what it came up with.
00:11:36
Speaker
That is amazing. I have to say, I did come across a job listing that I really was like, ooh, that looks dope. But they were like, you must submit a cover letter. I'm like, fuck that. So I was like, all right, let's see what this chat AI thing is all about. And let me tell you something. That fucking thing wrote the most beautiful cover letter I've ever seen in my life in 30 seconds.
00:12:00
Speaker
Yeah, it was, I mean, I had to edit it a little bit to make it sound more like me and, you know, add my own personality, but it gave me the bones in 30 seconds. You had to edit out the fact that you emit gentle gases. There's nothing gentle about them. Yeah. Hello, I am a smarter child.
00:12:24
Speaker
Well, these are the types of responses you would get from a Natu or a Zatu in the Pokemon universe. Yeah. Um, Natu and Zatu cannot learn confusion, but can learn Confuse Ray. Okay. Good enough. I'll take it. As long as you're confused. Yeah. Well, they kind of are. I mean, we'll get into it, but, but yeah, they're, I feel, I kind of feel bad for them.
00:12:51
Speaker
Yeah. I kind of vibe with them, honestly. Yeah. We know, but you don't, viewers, or listeners. You don't know anything about these Pokemon yet, so let us paint you a picture in your mind's eye. Imagine a Pikachu, one that you have never seen before,
00:13:13
Speaker
It is a tiny bird. One of the smallest birds, in fact. It is but two inches tall. Right? Two inches? Eight inches. It's not. No, not even two inches. It's like point. I don't know, actually. It's very small, very, very tiny. I thought it weighs four pounds. Imagine, listener, what if what if Nerf made a bird?
00:13:41
Speaker
It's eight inches. Eight inches. So I was going to say imagine a tennis ball. Yeah. Yeah. And then hot glue some like beads onto the tennis ball. Very colorful beads, some reds, some nice complementary yellows.
00:14:01
Speaker
And then imagine you squish a googly eye a little bit. You smoosh it a little bit. And you got like a half circle googly eye instead. And that's the eye you're going to put on your tennis ball. It's a very throwable bird. A judgmental tennis ball that challenges you to staring contests. Yeah. Imagine a tennis ball with a beak wing's feet giving you the side eye.
00:14:24
Speaker
Yeah. Imagine looking at a bird and then being like, huh, I think I just invented angry birds. Yeah. You just hurl this motherfucker at a pig. What if birds were real, though, instead of fake?
00:14:38
Speaker
Well, this one's fake and it comes from the fake land
Analyzing Natu: Behavior and Abilities
00:14:41
Speaker
of South America. Very, very fictional Pokemon universe world of South America. Every now and then the Pokedex is just like, fuck it. Yeah, we're in Mother Earth, you know, Eiffel Tower, the Grand Canyon or no, it was that that rock in Australia or something. Ayers Rock.
00:15:06
Speaker
Yeah, or didn't they even reference like an elephant in some way? They did. Yeah, it's like, yeah, it's like that fucking elephant like Don fan, like no idea. No, no. No elephant. No elephant. Well, it's always weird, too, that they're like, this is an elephant like Pokemon. Yeah. And it was what is this based on? It was for ghastly. It was like ghastly could envelop an elephant. And it's like, cool. Why did I need to know that?
00:15:33
Speaker
But also it's like the the you're dead like uncle like why you gotta bring my uncle into this and also why there's an elephant. Thomas Edison a Jew can kill an entire elephant.
00:15:47
Speaker
I thought that this Pokemon also reminded me of some Yoshi characters, like the Raven from Yoshi's Island, or there are these characters called the Huffin Puffins from Yoshi's games. Oh yeah, the Huffin Puffins. And what's the Raven's name? Raphael the Raven. Yeah. And you know what's unfortunate is I googled him and I immediately found really weird pictures of him.
00:16:13
Speaker
oh i was actually looking for porn of natu and zatu because i was like surely there won't be porn of these two was there i could not find any oh well i might i might have had moderate safe search on i did see some rather adorable pictures of natu though um
00:16:33
Speaker
I'll have you know that I have already found porn of Natu. I guess I have modern save search on. There's only three pictures and then the rest goes to actual real porn. Okay. Yeah. Ah, real porn. I love that show. Gotta love it. You found porn on the internet? There's a lot of premium stuff. Yeah. Wow. Ooh.
00:17:03
Speaker
picture in our chat. Oh, it's just a happy bird. Some cute little nod to pics. I was getting ready. Well, I mean, I can't jerk off. One of it. One of them is upside down with his legs spread open. So I'm into each their own. I don't even got its butthole showing. Yeah, it's a little hairy down there, but you know, let's say it is. This is a burb for free for free. This is a burb, a borb, definite borb.
00:17:33
Speaker
Yes. It's known as the little bird Pokemon, but so are a ton of them. Yeah. And it was, it was the tiniest flying type in all of Pokemon until rookie D became a thing. And then now it's tied with rookie D as the smallest flying type Pokemon. All our old friends, just little friends.
00:17:55
Speaker
Guys, they're little friends now. Yeah, they're little friends. There was a tiny bird that was just chilling next to me outside. I was working from home last Friday, and I had my lunch, and I went out to check on the pool. It was just a little bird, and I sat next to this little bird for a while, and I went inside to get some bread, and then I couldn't find bread. I don't know why I went back outside maybe to apologize to this bird, but he was cool with it. He was already gone. He was just like, I'll find my own bread, but thanks.
00:18:24
Speaker
A funny extension to that story is the other day I was outside watering our plants and we have a big pot with a little tree inside of it and I was watering it and I turned it around and there was a whole loaf of bread in this pot, an entire loaf of bread.
00:18:41
Speaker
I was like, what the hell? So I took a picture of it. I sent it to Dave. I'm like, did you put this here? And he's like, no. Next day I go out and I look, I'm like, you know what? It's probably animals. Let me just leave it. Next day I go out there and the entire loaf of bread is gone.
00:18:55
Speaker
Yeah, we're getting a fucking snack cabinet under our tree, which is kind of great. But there's an older lady behind us who just throws bread out for all the squirrels and stuff. And I guess they're just like hiding their stashes in our little plant. Yeah, it'd be so cool if a not to just came and flew into our yard. That'd be neat. Then use Confuse Ray so I'd have an excuse for being such an idiot. Yeah.
00:19:18
Speaker
I said yes, as if I was agreeing to you. I do not agree with that. You're right. Pokemon aren't real as much as we'd like. I mean, it's true. I mean, this could happen in our yard, not because not to is usually forage for food on the ground because it's wings are too premature. They can't fly with these like dumb little wings. It's got just like ridiculous because it's like.
00:19:44
Speaker
60% body and like 40% wing. Yeah, that wing is pretty big. But you want to know what those feet are huge. So maybe you just can't like birds have hollow bones. But he is all one word. So I imagine maybe his skull because it's just like a skull with tiny little things off it. And you can't lift that.
00:20:09
Speaker
I feel like they also kind of like transition not to like early Pokedex entries are always talking about like the bottoms of trees and tree roots and blah, blah, blah. And then all of a sudden out of nowhere, they're like, oh no, they're on the Savannah. Like they're eating cactuses and stuff. And it's like, wait, where did we go from trees and tree roots to cactuses? Yeah. Well, you know, it's all the places in South America that has those. Yeah.
00:20:37
Speaker
Which, yes, we will again mention they by name, they reference the fact that these Pokemon exist in South America. A fictional land of South America right below Kanto, not because Kanto is a part of Japan, but it's not that part of Japan. So maybe South America is just like what they call a weird ass other place.
00:21:00
Speaker
So they actually pronounced it South America. It's very different in the world. That's also where they found you. So. Oh, it's true. Yeah, we did discuss this. It says it can be found near ruins and in temperate and tropical forests in other areas of the world. So I guess with like the ruins that kind of plays into the whole new lore as well. Mm hmm. It jumps.
00:21:25
Speaker
It does jump because apparently it can't fly. What a dumb tiny bird. Yeah, but it's very good at jumping. It can jump.
00:21:34
Speaker
better than you can, probably. Definitely. It's got ups, as they would say. Yeah. You could probably slam dunk if it had arms that can hold a little ball. Yeah. I've had dreams in the past, not necessarily that I can fly really good, but that I could jump really good, and it's almost the same feeling in my dreams.
00:21:56
Speaker
I gotta say, what's the difference? What's the big deal? So I've never had a flying dream, but I have had a dream where I'm like perpetually falling. Oh, yeah. Oh, damn. It's kind of like flying, but like worse. Well, you're just flying down.
00:22:13
Speaker
like no one of them was like i was floating up and i just kept thinking like as i was floating up like i'm gonna start falling at some point and i'm not gonna be able to stop myself we got a paraglider right yeah did you not do the quest at the beginning of the game no i'll just have to whip out my zonai glider yeah
00:22:33
Speaker
So they they use sometimes the Pokedex phrases things in the most bizarre ways. So one Pokedex entry says the Pokemon flaps and leaps onto tree branches that are taller than grown up people. Yes. Why can you imagine a tree bigger than a grown up people?
00:22:59
Speaker
Have you ever seen, uh, the meme online? It's like Americans will do anything except, uh, rather than using the metric system. And it's like a meteor the size of, uh, one third of one half of Texas was seen or something like that. It's like, yeah, you'll use any unit of measure that isn't not the metric system. Yeah. A kilometer or a, or a kilogram or a.
00:23:28
Speaker
We got so close to using the metric system, even to the point where like some states started changing their highway signs to like being like kilometers and things like that. So close, but we're still just dumb America. Go us. When I was in Holland once, I saw my grandfather was driving, I don't know, something like 100 kilometers or an hour or something like that.
00:23:50
Speaker
I was like, Oh my God, this is the fastest I've ever been in my entire life. This is wild. This is crazy. And then my mom had to remind me that if I do the conversion through Google, which won't show me any not too porn. And what is it good for? Yeah.
00:24:13
Speaker
You just have to know what to put in the search bar. That's all I'm saying. Yeah. That's 62 miles per hour. Yeah. It's a pretty normal speed. Yeah. I remember too, like looking at the gas prices and being like, wow, gas is so cheap here. And then somebody's like, no, they're buying by the leader and not by the gallon. Oh my goodness. Yeah. Well, one thing I'll say about not to since it's, you know,
00:24:41
Speaker
on branches that are taller than people, but not as, not too much taller than people because they like to stare at you like right into your eyes and it'll stare intently at you. And if you move just the tiniest bit, it'll hop away to safety.
00:24:59
Speaker
Yeah. They say that it's because of, it's like, because it can tell the future, it's easily spooked because it's always kind of on edge because it knows the future. Yeah, but that's more for Zatu. Do you think that Natu can also like see the future like that? Or is it just like developing its like weird power when it's that young?
00:25:27
Speaker
I remember it saying that it had like a ink linked, like a pre-cognizance.
00:25:36
Speaker
And it's got the psychic typing, for sure. But this is total, this is real life animal behavior too. Have you ever had staring contests with animals before? Yes, a baby rabbit. A rabbit? Yeah, there was a baby rabbit in my yard. He was so cute. And he was just sitting there staring at me. And I got a million photos of it. I was like, thanks, little rabbit. Your photo shoot is all finished. And then he ran away.
00:26:06
Speaker
But yeah, but deer definitely I've definitely had a staring contest with a deer in my yard very recently because they ate all my goddamn fucking plants I'm so pissed at them but anyway They're cute though. No, they can they can go away and they're also shitting all over our yard like all over our yard Oh
00:26:26
Speaker
and my dog loves to shit to eat shit finding those little pebbles it's like oh don't mind if i do dude yeah i don't know what the deer you'll i know what they're eating they're eating all of my luscious plants but they're like they're not just little pebbles they've got like pebble mountains they're making yeah they're huge okay
00:26:47
Speaker
So I recently went on a walk with my boyfriend, Dan, and we interacted with this cat and started having a staring contest with this cat. And it started becoming very vocal. I thought it just started pooping right in the middle of the street. I was like, oh, did you want me to see that? It sounds like it sounds like you lost that contest. I sure did. I was like, I can't look at you while you're doing this. They have no shame.
00:27:17
Speaker
Um, not whose name in Japanese is Nati, um, which, uh, stands probably for native. And, um, Jeff Callis, I might be pronouncing his name wrong. Uh, but in a penny arcade staff podcast revealed that not to his name is supposed to be short for nature. Oh, I like that. Yeah.
00:27:43
Speaker
Um, so like Nate, you know, nature, uh, native natural, um, it's, uh, also kind of, I feel like not to, you get a little bit of the design, but Zatu is where you're like, Oh, okay. I see where you're going. Like I see what you're trying to do. Like Matt, if you just saw not to by yourself, you'd be like, okay, tiny bird with the weird eye. But then you see Zatu and you're like, Oh, I get it.
00:28:14
Speaker
It all comes together. Steven, when I think about you as a Pokemon trainer, I think of two Pokemon right off the bat, Cyndaquil and Nautu.
00:28:28
Speaker
Oh yeah, definitely. I, 100%, as soon as I saw Natu, I clung onto it. I was very much into birds as a child. And this like, this game definitely coincided with that time in my life. So I was like, cool little birds, like, I'm down. And then also, I guess, spoiler for, you know, Zatu, we'll get into it a little bit. But we had a little,
00:28:56
Speaker
Our dad collects lots of different things because he goes on all sorts of different job sites and he finds things. And we had like a little totem pole. Yeah. We each had one, right? I believe so. Mine was a blue color, yours was a teal color.
00:29:14
Speaker
yeah and i remember just like loving the design and like the way that looked and then when seeing the pokemon like kind of replicated in that i like immediately clung to it i was like this is really cool i love this design yeah yours is still in the house mine i don't know where it is i'll have to grab that sometime but yeah i i definitely
00:29:38
Speaker
I had this Pokemon on my team 100%. And then I feel like Pokemon kind of forgot about them.
00:29:45
Speaker
Yeah, I like them. I think they're pretty cool looking. I think they I like their typing flying psychic, I think is pretty dope. I want to say, even though we're not as odd to you, I'll have you know that the champion of the elite four in the second generation had two of them on his team. Oh, wow. Just like Lance and his dragonites. So that's pretty sick. Yeah.
00:30:14
Speaker
Yeah, and I think you get it relatively early. Like, I don't think you get it quite as early as like a Pidgey per se, but you get it early on in the game. And, you know, flying type Pokemon always are great to have around, you know, they are to mention in the first two generations, psychic types, types were dominant. That's why they had to introduce dark types to try to like even them out even a little bit.
00:30:45
Speaker
Yeah. I do know that the two places that I looked up and saw Natu appearing again is in the new Pokemon Snap game. You can get a little Natu to come out of some ruins and it kind of will like dance on an apple and it's really cute. And there's an episode where James uses one. He doesn't get one per se, like it's not on his team, but he uses one in a battle.
00:31:14
Speaker
Good for him. And Naughty? Do you know Naughty? No, who's that?
00:31:21
Speaker
So there is a episode called doing what comes not to really. And there are two not to use one is owned by Mackenzie, the other his father. And they're both told people's fortunes using future site. But Mackenzie's nicknamed naughty was not successful because he had stage fright. So he couldn't be like a stage psychic.
00:31:49
Speaker
But his name was Naughty. Yeah. And they always said it like that, too. They're always like, hey, naughty. I bet that's that's not on there, but I like there's no other way it could go. It's got to be like that. Yeah, it's like who copied who? Did Pokemon copy encourage the cowardly dog or did encourage the cowardly dog copy Pokemon?
00:32:14
Speaker
I'm feeling naughty. Everybody will remember Freaky Fred, right? The best cartoon episode ever. I look that up all the time. I'm just like, this is such a good episode of a TV show. It's very disturbing. It's very disturbing.
00:32:34
Speaker
And here's the thing, I always thought that Freaky Fred looked a little bit like our cousin, Hedit. Oh, okay. Just because, I don't know, he just has like a big smile, and Hedit's always like, got a smile on his face, and it's like, oh, the smiley boys.
00:32:58
Speaker
Well, if you have not seen it, go look it up. Courage is also a very good show. Yeah. Has some good episodes. Sorry, every once in a while, my dog needs me to pet his head. Oh, it's a very important job. This is super important.
00:33:14
Speaker
You know, I'll change. So I was like, he's staring out at my glass, my door's glass into my office and he's just sitting outside it watching me staring, like staring down. He's trying to have a serious contest with you. Yeah. Yes. And see if he knows if he is channeling a not to. Definitely. Give me one second while I let him free. We can vamp. Do you guys know that the shiny one has yellow plumes, but is a lighter green?
00:33:43
Speaker
Yeah, it looks just more yellow across the board. Yeah, kind of like just like a more desaturated version of not too, I would say. It's not great. Yeah, I'm not too impressed. Yeah. But the dog is free. Finally. Yeah. Now that the dogs are away, we can play. Yeah.
00:34:14
Speaker
So let me know when you're ready to hit level 25. I'm ready. I think we're there. So as with some Pokemon in the Pokedex, the time has come for us to take on a new form.
Discovering Zatu: Mystical Qualities and Roles
00:34:33
Speaker
Pokemon evolve through various methods, but not to. Starting at level 25 can evolve.
00:34:39
Speaker
into our first Pokemon that has ever started with the letter X, Zatu.
00:34:48
Speaker
the mystic Pokemon. I was just going to say, what's great about this too is that they didn't just pick X just to have it. The name Zatu comes from the word Zat, which X-A-T is a carved pole erected as a memorial to the dead in some Northwestern Native American tribes.
00:35:11
Speaker
So it's well, we'll talk about what this Pikachu looks like. But a little it does look like a totem pole kind of bird with its wings. And it is named for that as well, which is really interesting. Now, what does this look like? Well, imagine the same little tennis ball.
00:35:37
Speaker
with the side eye with a more mature beak. It's eyes, it's titties or eyes. It's got eyes titties. It does have freaky and it's titties are high eyes like they're red but not like you know a really really like bright red they're like a I'm fucking stoned red eyes on its titty area.
00:36:01
Speaker
It's very much like a barrel shape with its wings closed because it kind of cloaks itself and its big wings. It looks like its wings. It's like covering its private parts, but like squishing its titty eyes together, you know, we're like a flasher kind of way. It's got its jacket closed and then opens them up and they've got these big wings on the side. Imagine, if you will, a
00:36:26
Speaker
three tennis balls in the little tennis ball container that you buy them in and then that container has a big yellow beak and a little headdress that's kind of slicked back and two wings that it uses for flags and it's
00:36:53
Speaker
you know, fairly striped and ornamented and it just stares at the sun all day. It's always giving a side eye. It's always looking directly at you. It's always looking with one eye from the side. But it's kind of like, I feel like most birds when you look at them, like you see a bird and you see they're also giving you the side eye and it kind of looks like they're not looking at you, but they definitely are.
00:37:20
Speaker
one eye on the streets, one eye in the sheets. Which is, I'm glad you brought up the separation of the eyes because Zatu's got this weird kind of power, I guess, or not power, but it's got this weird thing where with its right eye, it can see into the future, but with its left eye, it sees to the past.
00:37:45
Speaker
And because of this weird thing, it does not move. It's pretty stationary and just sits there because it has a lot of fear of the visions of the future coming true. So it just sits there and doesn't add to anything in the present. Yeah. And how relatable is that? The absolute fear of the future.
00:38:07
Speaker
Well, given the fact that we lived in a plume of smoke for a couple of days. Yeah. Did it freak you out as much as it freaked me out? It freaked me out because in the middle of the day, I work from home. So in the middle of the day, my entire house went pitch black. And I'm like, what the fuck is happening outside? I look outside and the entire, I can't even see
00:38:31
Speaker
you know, the house behind me, it's just straight smoke in the sky is orange. And I'm like, Oh, my God, this is how we die. It looks like a sepia filter outside. This is how we die. And it smelled so bad. Like, it just smells like burning plastic up by where Dave and I are. I don't know about you guys, but it smells disgusting. But I also smelled like like a forest fire, like a like a wood fire kind of. But
00:38:59
Speaker
It is hazardous because it's got all sorts of other stuff in it. Definitely stay safe out there, everyone. I had to, in that time, stop myself from becoming a Zatu and staring directly at the sun. It was so easy to it. It was so red and ominous. It seems so red and distant. It was like the moon and Zelda.
00:39:23
Speaker
Exactly. But I was like, don't do that. Don't stare at the sun. That's very bad for you. But Zatu's doing it because it's a meditative practice for some people. It's called sun gazing. And you're supposed to stare at either the rising or setting sun.
00:39:43
Speaker
as a way of meditating. Yeah, and it's odd too. Funnily enough, those both. It starts its meditation at sunrise and doesn't really stop. It just kind of, it's said throughout the entire day, it'll meditate from sunrise.
00:40:06
Speaker
Yeah, I'll say that like by the time it starts, it's already too late. Like it's the end of the day. Yeah. Time doesn't even pass for it. Like it just goes to nighttime. Some people believe that Zatu are emissaries from other worlds. Which would make sense because this is like kind of how they're like they're justifying. Yeah, they live in South America. So this is how they connect South America with the Pokemon world.
00:40:33
Speaker
Aliens. Well, I think, yeah, they're also saying like kind of aliens, too, like they think they're from the space. And some people are fearful of them because they think that they'll cause terrible things to happen. It is a freaky looking bird. It's also quite large. It's four eleven four foot eleven inches. That's that's a pretty large bird. And if I saw a bird that looked like this and it was just staring into space,
00:41:02
Speaker
I would kind of be freaked out by it. I was surprised at how short Natu was and surprised at how tall Zatu was. 4.11. Yeah. So close. It's a big glow up. Well, it's a big gap between the two, right? Yeah. It's almost as if there was a second evolution. A second tennis ball in the tennis ball stack.
00:41:30
Speaker
So there was in between Natu and Zatu. Really? An evolution that never really made it. So I will show, and I think it makes too much sense. It is a handsome Pokemon. So this is one where we can do, who's that Pokemon? Oh. Oh. That is, without a doubt, a resplendent Quetzal.
00:42:01
Speaker
So it basically is the exact middle. I'll find an actual thing to send to you guys. It is the exact middle of what you'd expect from Natu and Zatu. It is a, I'd say Aztec looking bird.
00:42:18
Speaker
It has a big plumes on its back, some little war paint under its eye. It has the head is closer to a natsu, but it's got the Zatu beak. Um, and it still has wings and that bird-like body. So very, very cool. Yeah. I'm upset. I was robbed of that. Yeah, me too. It's a good looking Pokemon. Now do we, are we still using the excuse that there wasn't enough room on the game cards to not include everything or.
00:42:47
Speaker
For this game, I don't think in the beginning it was an issue and then it wasn't. It could have just been a balancing. Also, one reason people believe this did not happen is because of some items that didn't make it in the end. I'm gonna put the main post there. This Pokemon was supposed to evolve using a heart stone.
00:43:17
Speaker
So a Heartstone, which we add Heartstones later in the games, but Heartstone was scrapped, but originally was going to be used to evolve Polytoad and Espeon. Okay. And another different kind of thing with this evolution too is that they changed Zatu a lot as well. So the original Pokémon kind of looked like
00:43:46
Speaker
what we see in the outdoors this week. They had this kind of brownish, chalky color. And there was a weird chest. It kind of looked like Zatu was hugging a pig. Yeah, I see that. Do you see that? It looks like a cat to me. Yeah, it kind of looks like a cat, something with two little spikes on its head. Yeah, right. Very weird. But
00:44:15
Speaker
Yeah, super interesting. This is one of the Pokemon, beta Pokemon that just makes sense, especially because it's not like it was replaced. It was just taken out and it must have been taken out much later because it fits perfectly. Like I really enjoy this. The only reason I can see it being taken out is does Zatu have like third evolution vibes? I could see them doing something
00:44:44
Speaker
Well, what do you mean? What are you asking? Are you asking if Zatu has like middle evolution vibes or like? If I look at them now, I feel like the second one is maybe more interesting than Zatu. Right. Yeah. But it makes sense altogether. But Zatu doesn't look like the final like it doesn't like, for example, like Squirtle to Blastoise. Yeah. Or like, you know.
00:45:07
Speaker
I think it looks more third evolution worthy when its wings are spread out. Those images of it, yeah. But I also think, I mean, Peter's going to be the one to weigh in on this, but is it powerful enough to be a third? I don't feel like it's really a powerhouse in that way to justify all of this and also to get a special evolution stone. They kind of went away from that.
00:45:33
Speaker
Yeah, I mean, sometimes I watch those videos that Steven does about, you know, where a Pokemon stood in competitive battling. And I already knew that, you know, Nottoo and Zottoo, or I mean, specifically Zottoo would be like in like the NU or lower tier, like, you know, not not particularly strong. Yeah, and we all know what NU stands for.
00:46:02
Speaker
noxious urinal. Yeah. Oh, this is something Steven and I work together. Steven, I am narrowing in on the person who does not flush the urinal. What? I think I know who it is.
00:46:18
Speaker
Sometimes I don't flush the air. We'll have to we'll have to dish. Yeah, we'll have to find out who destroyed both our toilets, too. Oh, yeah. I mean, I feel like we did our fair share destroying those toilets. It's just bad plumbing and strong asses. Our plumbing is bad at our house. So sometimes when I feel like I got a real, real banger coming, I'll just be like, yeah, I'll unleash this at work.
00:46:41
Speaker
Yeah, I am almost exclusively shit downstairs because our bidet is just so much better down there. It's better water pressure. They got one of those new toilets that has the limiter so it's it's not given up as much force. I need more pressure on my butthole when it does shooting, you know. Yeah, you got blast shooting. Yeah. Yeah, I almost became an adult the other day. Again.
00:47:09
Speaker
Yeah, I hit my midlife crisis almost. Okay, so I have mentioned before that I only shit on the clock, right? I only shit while I'm
00:47:22
Speaker
you know, clocked in working at home. Yeah, absolutely. So Dave the other day was late leaving for work. So he like kind of threw off my schedule a bit because usually I'll shit at like 9am. Right? Like Dave's out at the house. I can use the upstairs bathroom. He doesn't have to use it to get ready. I mean, that's when the coffee hits. That's when the hydration from the morning starts. Right, right. I've already been working for an hour. I start working at 8am every day. So I was like, all right, well,
00:47:50
Speaker
It was like 838 and my butt was like, you cannot wait 20 minutes. It's like, no, you cannot. I'm like, all right, well, it's 838. Dave is about to go into that bathroom. So let me let me go to the downstairs bathroom. And I don't know if you ever had this experience where you stand up and all of a sudden you have to shit a lot more like than you did sitting down. Like you're just like, oh, my God, if I don't find a toilet in the next 30 seconds, there's going to be an issue.
00:48:16
Speaker
You know, so I'm like running down the stairs, but I miss a step and slip and fall a full flight of stairs. Wow. Yeah.
00:48:31
Speaker
just barely. So it was one of those things where like my life was flashing before my eyes as I was falling down these stairs. I'm like, Oh my God, I'm going to fall through the railings. I'm going to fall like 10 feet from the ground. I'm just going and going and going. And I got to the bottom of the stairs and I'm like, okay, I don't know if you've ever fallen down and you're like need to analyze yourself for a second. Like, absolutely. Am I dead? Am I conscious? Just a couple of weeks ago I fell when I was running and I was like, all right, do I still have all of my fingers? Cause uh,
00:49:00
Speaker
that's a lot of initial blood yeah exactly so i kind of had that experience and then i was like all right well i'm conscious i'm alive what and then i'm like oh my god my whole body's throbbing specifically my ankle and i'm like i don't know if i can walk right now but then i was like having my moment of am i okay but then my asshole was like bitch get to a toilet now so it was like
00:49:23
Speaker
hobbling to a toilet and i just fucking made it like my pants i was pulling down my pants and poop was coming out of my butt i was like holy shit yeah i had just fucking made it but yeah it was rough my ankle is really really bad it's havoc ankle it's pretty pretty cute but but uh yeah you made it i made it i made it no midlife crisis for me yet yeah and then also um
00:49:52
Speaker
Geez, whenever you say midlife crisis, I get really sad because you're the youngest among us. I know.
00:50:00
Speaker
but not by that much. Yeah. And then also you have the, the joy of, uh, pooping while also being severely injured, which is just one of the, I literally almost passed out on the toilet. I don't know if it was like the adrenaline of my body. Like what the hell just happened? It's a combination of adrenaline and, uh, and, uh,
00:50:23
Speaker
But gastrointestinal distress. Yes. It was the poop sweats everything. I was like, oh my god I don't know what's happening to my body, but it's too much Yeah, I mean I've passed out from like gas pains before Really? Yeah, all of a sudden like, you know, I'm on the toilet. I'm like, I know something has to happen because my stomach is just like stomach pain and Like tooth pain or two of the worst pains back pain too. Yeah, I
00:50:52
Speaker
Oh, definitely. But whole pain. Yeah, I would imagine. Isn't there an Eminem song where it's just like, looking out and that's why they call it window pain? Yeah, there is somewhere.
00:51:11
Speaker
That was the most like, yeah, I'm going to agree and pretend to know what you're talking about answer. Well, it sounds accurate. All of a sudden something awakened in my head and I was like, I'm going to come up with it. And then I'm like, nope, I'm not. I don't know Eminem that well.
00:51:25
Speaker
But yeah, I've been on the toilet before and been like, all right, Peter, keep conscious because you're getting tunnel vision because your tum-tum hurts so bad. Yeah, that was, I've been there. I was there like two days ago. It was just, it was an experience. It was like the first time as an adult where I was like very concerned that I had done irreparable damage to myself.
00:51:51
Speaker
As you grow older, you get closer and closer to the incident that changes your life forever. Right, exactly. Yeah. So moral of the story, don't wait till the last second to go take a shit. Just shit when your butt tells you to. And don't run down the stairs.
00:52:09
Speaker
Listen to your butt when it's calling for you. I bet, um, I bet Zatu saw that whole thing unravel before it actually happened. That's probably why he's sitting there incapacitated. He's like, what the fuck am I saying? He's like, this bitch has no idea what's about to happen to her. The move was coming out of her butt.
00:52:34
Speaker
Yeah, Zatu's whole deal is that person who's in the room witnessing something so uncomfortable that it's like it can't move. It's like maybe if I just stay here, nothing will happen. It's just what the fuck? What the fuck? Did I ever tell you the story about me and my dad went camping one time with like a church group, right? And we shared a tent together and
00:53:03
Speaker
man it's just still such an embarrassing story for me dude i literally just told you how i fell down the stairs and almost shit myself yeah so and my dad wakes up in the middle of the night he's like peter can you sleep um like no i can't it's just so uncomfortable in the tent he's like yeah it's so cold even my dick is cold i was too young so i was just like my dad just said the word
00:53:27
Speaker
I'm going to pretend that I did not hear him and not talk about it on a podcast
00:53:38
Speaker
But in pretending that I did not hear him, I overcommitted and I said, what did you say? So he repeated himself again. I was like, now I have to double down again. What did you say? And then finally he was like, ah, forget it. I was like, why did I ask him to repeat the thing that made me uncomfortable like four times in a row?
00:54:01
Speaker
Yeah to be funny to it's kind of like you did like one of those teacher things where it's like you want somebody to correct them. Like grammar wise. But he was just like what am I supposed to say like my wiener is chilly. I got a chilly dog.
00:54:26
Speaker
Oh, that's good. That's very funny. That is the quote of the podcast. I was expecting somebody to like poop themselves or something, like just a chili dog. It's like, oh, chili wiener is not that bad. Remember, people, drink a lot of water in the morning because it helps get your intestines flowing.
00:54:46
Speaker
Yeah, but my problem is that water only hydrates me so much. I need to find twice as much hydration from water and three times as much hydration from basic sports beverages. If only we could find something like that. Anyway. Yeah.
00:55:03
Speaker
Zatu in Pokemon Mystery Dungeon is like the wisest of all the Pokemon and he lives on hills of the ancient and beyond the great canyon and you go to talk to Zatu to figure out how to like be like, yo, I was changed into a Pokemon. So that's what those games are about. Yeah. And then an end game after you like lose your friend, you get your friend back from Zatu being like wise and shit. I saw a little
00:55:33
Speaker
A little, what do they call those? Like a little animation about that today. Somebody was animating a person as a mudkip going up to his ought to and then offering them food because all they did was stare at the sun all day and they were concerned for him. How sweet. Yeah. Those are especially the second mystery dungeons, like the DS ones. I really enjoyed those.
00:56:00
Speaker
Yeah, I bought Explorers of the Sky at one point before the price skyrocketed, I'm sure, because I heard that was the best one and I still have that just waiting for me. I'm really excited to play it one day when I stop being addicted to every other game that gets in front of me.
00:56:20
Speaker
Yeah, I'm being real good to myself right now by not buying a street fighter. Yeah. Because I would just sit there and make guys with like real big asses that use them to fight. Like he'd be like, no hands, huge ass, big ass, no head, little feet. And then just be like, oh, hey, Ryu, I do can look at my big ass, no feet, small eyes, big nose.
00:56:46
Speaker
I'll never forget SuperGrowin, the most beautiful, fond, and vaguest character you ever made for me. SuperGrowin can be in a... I mean, Matt Ryan, a friend of the pod from Calling All Creeps, we, you know, got into a lot of creator wrestlers. That's kind of our thing. Yeah. Let's go back to Zaw 2.
00:57:12
Speaker
I love how this is a rare Pokemon because in official artwork, you're always going to see a females out too. Yes, I love this.
00:57:25
Speaker
So before gender differences were introduced, all Zatu had the appearance of female Zatus and later on they made the switch, which is that males have three stripes on their lower body and females have two stripes. So as a result, like all official artwork of Zatu has two stripes indicating that they're all females.
00:57:51
Speaker
Yes, I love this. But they are 50-50. Like, you know, there's 50% chance of getting a male or a female. Is that two or not two, which is cool. I always forget that there are gender differences because I spot them so infrequently.
00:58:06
Speaker
When I saw this one, I was like, oh, that's pretty big. I should go back and look and see if there were any other ones of note. And no, there weren't. It's mostly just the usual where it's like the male's antenna are longer. The only one that was really interesting that I looked back at was gloom and vial plume. The females, their spots on the petals are way bigger. It's very noticeable.
00:58:33
Speaker
But yeah, most of the time, it's either nothing or just like, Oh, the antenna or the whiskers or the tail is longer or shorter. Yeah. And then there's some Pokemon that are
00:58:55
Speaker
Yeah, because there's some that are really out like right in your face like Wobbuffet. It's probably the most the most we'll get to that because we don't want to spoil it. But yeah, if you want to look at a very substantial gender difference, just look at Wobbuffet. But
00:59:14
Speaker
Got some DSLs on those females. Oh, did you guys see the Pokemon plush, the Pikachu plush for June? No. The official trans-Pikachus? Do they have those? Oh, yes. They're so wonderful. Hold on. I'll send them in the chat. Let's get the full info. This was sent over by friend of the pod, Frostwad. Oh. So there is a set of Pikachus.
00:59:44
Speaker
that is being sold in Japan, and it's for pride in trans rights. I'm going to... Okay, I'm gonna have to put it into our text chain. Okay.
01:00:01
Speaker
So it is two Pikachus and they are lighter colors. So they are yellow with kind of pinkish cheeks and their tails are cut and sewn so that one looks like it has the Pikachu, the female Pikachu rounded tail, but it has been filled out to be square and one has like the cuts on its square tail to be rounded.
01:00:33
Speaker
I just posted it in our thing. That's so cute. Um, I know that I got recently, um, like the Pokemon anniversary vinyl. And, um, they had pictures like stickers where it was like two male Pikachu listening to a record, two female listening to a record. They had like a whole bunch of different options. I thought it was really cute too.
01:00:58
Speaker
Oh, yeah, that's adorable. So actually, never mind. These are not official. As it said, somebody thought they were official. They are from a company called Boyera plush. Oh, IRA plushies. They have some incredible things. They have life sized Digimon plushies. This is they have a life sized fucking hair across. Oh, my God. Sign me up. I can't wait to get read among life sized Digimon plush.
01:01:27
Speaker
It's pretty incredible. Hold on. Where's the window so I can bring up and show you guys this? Speaking of Pokemon, I'm going to look up Randomon. Za2 shares this category with Flygon because it transformed into the Mystic Pokemon. You can bring that up in the meantime. I just sent.
01:01:54
Speaker
Boyra Plush's home and you'll see a life-size fucking Heracross on the couch. Oh my gosh. Pretty incredible. That horn is like the size of me. Since we're telling stories that have been sourced by outside members of the community,
01:02:13
Speaker
When we were recording last episode breaking news, my dad texted me at 11 o'clock in the evening and wanted to let me know just in case it was pertinent news for the podcast that somewhere in an apartment complex in Las Vegas, they started naming the streets after Pokemon so that there will be a Squirtle, Snorlax, and Jigglypuff Lane.
01:02:42
Speaker
That's adorable. Borer Plushes also has a ghastly plush and it's like in a bunch of tools. So it looks like it's in a gas. So adorable. If I made one, I would just fart on it a bunch.
01:03:00
Speaker
make sure that it's got all sorts of fragrant gases like floral scents to. Yeah, I just it's like why did it come wet? That's all the Febreze I sprayed on it. Yes, so Zatu is also from South America.
01:03:22
Speaker
It says in South America it said that its right eye sees the future and its left eye views the past. Which they say a couple times but apparently double that in South America. Which is weird because I looked at a lot of Zatu art. I couldn't really find anywhere you see both of its eyes in the same image. Yeah, unless it's like straight on but even then it's like kind of off to the side and not all of them.
01:03:53
Speaker
Like I said, Zatu is the first Pokemon to have an X in its name. There would be no other Pokemon with X in its name until the legendary Pokemon from Pokemon X is Xerneas. Xerneas, yeah. I just found a furry website, Zatu, and it's got like quite the tits. Finally. Flashing at you. It's a little weird. Do they have eyes?
01:04:19
Speaker
Uh, yeah, they do. They sure do. Uh, now, and I do see Zatu with two, you see both eyes at the same time in the anime, but in like the game art, you don't really see it. So, uh, Zatu is named for the X in English, but in Japanese, the name is Natio. Okay. Um, which is probably a combination of native and the word Indio.
01:04:44
Speaker
Also, I'm gonna say Zatu's probably the easiest Pokemon to draw that would impress people.
01:04:51
Speaker
Oh, yeah, definitely. It's definitely hard to draw a circle, so getting its head done alone is difficult. But if I'm going to draw a Pokémon and you're like, I drew a Diglett or an Electrode or something, but if you drew this, it's a lot of just flat shapes, which is nice. Wait to say the two Pokémon that I used to draw all the time. Hey, those are our favorites. We're a simple man. What can we say?
01:05:18
Speaker
Zatu, like I said earlier, resembles the resplendent quetzal. Quetzal. This is a fine looking bird. If you search up good looking birds, the resplendent quetzal, or quetzal, I keep on saying it wrong, will probably be up there. Very good looking bird. Very, very nice looking bird.
01:05:46
Speaker
I wanna add a new segment. And this is a segment for every time I think of it. It's the sitting cutie segment. So if you don't know, Pokemon has a line, Pokemon company has a line of plush called the sitting cuties. The whole deal of this line is they make every single Pokemon. They have just finished gen five, I believe.
01:06:11
Speaker
and literally every Pokemon. So there is a, like, they're not just gonna do Machop and Machamp. They did Machop, Machoke, Machamp, all of them. If there's different forms of them, like they did Deerling, and there's the different ones of all the different like, seasons, they made Wanna Beach. Like they do all of them. So because of that, there will be a Sitting Cutie, and I just checked Sitting Cutie,
01:06:39
Speaker
Zattu and I think it's uh I'm gonna give it an A. Well there was one um really great youtuber oh my gosh what's her name oh my gosh she's a really great um
01:06:59
Speaker
Oh my God animator. What what is her name? Jayden. Her name is Jayden and she ranked all of the sitting cuties. And one thing that I love that she ranked them by was their ability to actually sit. Yeah. So it's funny because I'm going to say the the not to I'm going to give a.
01:07:19
Speaker
Maybe a C. It looks like a Burger King toy. Yeah, like a D. Yeah, Natsu gets a D, where Zatu gets an A or maybe an S, because Zatu's real nice. It looks real sturdy. It looks good. Yeah, there's some really nice pictures of it sitting on trees and stuff. Yeah, I'm going to say Zatu. Zatu, I switched up to an S, and I'm going to give a D to Natu. But they're really nice. And every now and then, some surprise you. When I saw those reviews, I had to get the Garboater.
01:07:47
Speaker
and Garboater is sitting here on my desk now and it makes me so fucking happy. But just Google a Pokemon from Gen 5 and down and they made one, for better or worse. For better or worse. Just search sitting cutie and then the name of a Pokemon and we can do that from now on. I did see the Chandelure one recently and that one looked good. Yeah, some of the weird ones when it's hard to make a Pokemon because they're not steering away from any of them, so we gotta see.
01:08:15
Speaker
Because some of them, oh my god, can we not? I think that's later generation.
01:08:22
Speaker
But some of them are just very difficult to make a plush out of. Some of these really Dragon-esque Pokemon or these very extravagant, I can't wait for them to try to make Eternatus. What are they gonna do with that? Hell, they made every letter of Unknown. Oh, the Unknown, yeah. Yeah, so they're not pulling any, they're doing it. They're going for it. So where else are, I'm trying to think if there's anything else, where are we gonna start card gaming?
01:08:49
Speaker
I just have a horrible confession. I had a bunch of Pokemon plushies that I inherited from a friend. And I threw them all away because I didn't think plushies were that fun back when I was in high school. Oh my goodness. Yeah. So I'm sorry, Arceus. Please have mercy on my son. Oh, there's a Fero City Q. There's an everything. There's everyone.
01:09:18
Speaker
everything. If it exists, there's going to be a sitting QT for it. If it doesn't exist anymore. I think I have Sheninja. Why is the top selling one Volcarona? I don't know. People like weird ones. Like I think we have we have Kakuna and Metapod in our potted plants or fake potted plant. I bought those because they're neat. Yeah, we just got a bunch. We just have a few.
01:09:41
Speaker
Um, do you know what else is fun? Having cards. Sex. Yes, both things. Yes, very much yes. But for now, we'll keep it PG, I guess, and play the trading card game. We'll keep it TCG.
01:09:57
Speaker
TCG! Yeah! Yeah, okay, so Dave, Peter, and Steven are going to guess how many cards that Natu and Zatu appear in in the TCG trading card game. Only two, but they're a solid two, so what are we thinking? How many cards are they appearing on? 12. I would assume...
01:10:26
Speaker
Here's the thinking. I would assume that they're, what, flying psychic type. So it's a dual type, but flying doesn't mess. Flying is colorless, and I don't think he put a knot to it. I thought it was hard, so it'd probably just be psychic. Fifteen. I love the strat explanation there. Okay, we got fifteen, alright. I was gonna say fourteen.
01:10:51
Speaker
We got 12, 15, and 14. Well, Peter's strategy works, as it always does. But there are 17 not-too-cards in existence. Not too much. Not too much. Not too much. That's more than I thought, though, which I'm happy about. Yeah. Yeah. I'm not as surprised about this as I was with Togepi's numbers from last time. Well, isn't this one higher than Togepi?
01:11:22
Speaker
Um, I believe so. Yeah. No, they're the same. They're the same. 17 Togepi. Yeah. 17 Natu. But out of the two, Natu-Zatu, who's more popular in the TCG, how many Zatu cards are we thinking?
01:11:41
Speaker
I'm gonna say 17. All right. That was what I was gonna do. That's very smart. I'm gonna say 18 then. I'm gonna go one up. I'll go one down. I'll say 16. All right, Dave. You take it away. 18 cards, baby.
01:12:02
Speaker
All right. Uh, you want to play a fuck game? Yeah. All right. This game is called Who You Gonna Fuck? I'm going to list four Pokemon. You're going to tell me which one, if bread, with natsu and zatu, would not produce an egg. All right. Here we go. Butterfree, Aerodactyl, Noctowl, Pochkrow. Butterfree, Aerodactyl, Noctowl, and Pochkrow.
01:12:34
Speaker
This is hard. I'm gonna say erodactyl. I was gonna say that, but I'm gonna choose a different one for strategy purposes. I'll say knocked out.
01:12:49
Speaker
I guess I'll say butterfree. I was going to go aerodactyl, but I like to cover the bases. Yeah. Well, Peter, you've been killing it. It's butterfree. What? That was my second guess, but I didn't. I had no idea why. What makes it not possible?
01:13:07
Speaker
Butterfree is only a bug type. Just a bug not flying. Where Aerodactyl is in the flying in group. Noctell and Hanskrow are just straight flying. Is Aerodactyl also like mineral at all?
01:13:23
Speaker
Um, let me see. I actually don't believe so. Oh, see, that's what I was thinking. It was like, oh, since it's a fossil, it must be in some weird, like mineral egg group or something. Yeah, that's kind of weird. No, it's just flying. All right. Mineral is a very odd egg group because it's just like very much just like rock things.
01:13:52
Speaker
Hmm. Like down to earth. And then every now and then you get a weird one like Sinisteri. What in the mineral?
01:14:01
Speaker
Yeah, I guess, you know, Clay for the pot. That doesn't make sense. Like Runerigus, Runerigus. I never know how to say that guy. Copperajah. Cough for rigorous. Dwebble. You're giving away all your secrets. You'll forget. You guys forgot Gliger the next week. Yeah, it's true. You know, I'll never forget.
01:14:26
Speaker
Uh, our outro? No, that out of 150 plus movies that Jackie Chan has been in, he was only eight years old when he did his first movie. Was that the one where he was naked? Okay, now we're going to jail. It's time to go. The police are coming.
01:14:50
Speaker
Thank you as always to Dave for remembering that the theme of this show is not actually Pokemon, but a very, very well hidden Jackie Chan effect. Thank you for Carl for our theme song. Thank you to you for listening. Thank you for the four of us for constantly sourcing the greatest poop stories you ever did here. Hell yeah.
01:15:18
Speaker
Trying to normalize almost shitting yourself and shitting yourself. We're all adults here. Try not to though. Good joke. Good joke. How about tryzotu? You can find us on social media that Dave knows off the top of his head. He knows our Zanga. He knows our live journal. It's just at Daycare Ditto's.
01:15:41
Speaker
