So not-- wrong show.
[LAUGHTER]
Different hand movement?
No, it's the same movement, just different audiences.
OK, go for it.
Not that stuff again, Ross.
I haven't done my show yet.
Hello, and welcome-- blah, blah.
Hello, and welcome back to your daily dose of TableTalk,
where you talk about your questions,
topics that you recommend on Twitter and Facebook,
using the #TableTalk, as well as on reddit.com/r/sourcefed.
That was close.
So close!
all right.
Hello, and welcome back to your daily dose of TableTalk,
where we talk about your questions, topics, things,
and stuff that you recommend on Twitter and Facebook,
using the #TableTalk, as well as reddit.com/r/sourcefed.
My name is Philip DeFranco.
I'm Ross Everett.
I'm Trisha Hershberger.
He got it right!
I was hoping for a Phil-op DeFranco,
and we would have to start all over again.
Ro-ddit, roddit.
Roddit's the best, rottedtomatoes.com.
Let's see, inside_your_bath says,
"what is your opinion on pro wrestling?
Do you like or dislike it?
Also, do you consider it a sport?"
If you're talking about WWE, I loved it as a kid.
Now it seems a little bit silly to me.
I like it.
You like it?
It's always been like, and that's the bottom line,
because Stone Cold said so.
Like there's just like--
That's why I like it so much, but I
wouldn't say that I consider it a sport.
I like it for entertainment.
I think it's hilarious.
Male soap opera.
Why not?
It's a sport in the way that if things
were faked in real sports, it's a sport.
Because there's like athleticism in it.
You know they get hurt.
Oh, they absolutely get hurt.
Anybody who's looked at Mick Foley
just knows, these people do not age well.
Actually, he's one of the better ones.
You know Ric Flair, Nature Boy Ric Flair?
Whoo!
He just showed up to the Forty-Niners
to pump them up before the game against Green Bay.
And boy, it was like a sad thing.
It worked, but just watching him as this dyed blonde, old man
with still the barrel chest going.
Do it.
Whoo!
Like working his way, almost like
he should have had a walker.
But-- you've seen "The Wrestler,"
Mickey Rourke's "The Wrestler."
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
It's just like, oh why would you do this to yourself?
Like Scott Hall.
If you look at all these videos of all
of my old favorite wrestlers, you're just like,
what did I do to you?
There was a kick starter at Indiegogo for an old school
wrestler recently.
He had to get hip surgery or some shit like that.
And he wanted to get back into wrestling or do something.
I don't know.
It's crazy.
It's crazy what those guys do to their body.
And it makes me sad that they don't make more money.
A lot of the lower guys--
Yeah, no, a lot of the lower guys are out.
If you want to see an amazing movie about wrestling,
it's called "Beyond the Mat."
They call it the movie that Vince McMahon
doesn't want you to see.
Oooh.
But this interesting thing, like Vince McMahon
is coming up with this guy's gimmick.
And the guy's like, well, I could throw up on cue.
And Vince McMahon's like, all right, you're Puke,
and you puke on all of your opponents after you beat them.
Got to get a gimmick.
And the guy was really into it, and then the guy
gets injured immediately.
And we never-- you've never heard of Puke.
Also, Puke is not like a WWE champion.
You don't see that guy holding a belt above his head.
No way.
He's no John Cena.
Ironically, ironically.
I think they give it to him just to take it away.
And it's like one of those matches
where the champ at the time for some reason goes in,
and all of a sudden, five guys have slowly attack him.
And Puke becomes the champ.
And he loses it the next night.
The immediate next night.
And he'll be like, I want a rematch against you, Puke.
And all of a sudden, Puke has this ego that's unjustified.
He's like 1 and 0.
I don't know, his name's Puke.
It's pretty cool.
I remember an old, old WWE, when Goldberg was in the WWE.
Remember there was that skinny guy that
was the skinny Goldberg, and he was the joke wrestler.
But he was like 10 and 0 because people kept knocking out
the guy he was going against.
It was something ridiculous.
Or was it that he was 0 and 10?
Fuck, I can't remember.
It was probably 0 and 10.
But I would love to see if Make-a-Wish could get in there
and just win 10 straight.
They would totally do that too.
Oh yeah.
They absolutely would.
Like the WWE is the nicest organization.
Except to the wrestlers work for the WWE.
But I think they successfully do a good job
of making it kid- and family- friendly entertainment.
Oh yeah.
Even though they're beating the smack out of each other.
Beating the smack out of each other.
I'm trying to be nice.
You sound like a mom that's like, Are you on the smack?
No, then it's a drug.
But what is it when it's not?
I don't know, a word to not say "crap."
OK, I'll buy it.
That's what I was going for.
You like UFC, though, speaking of wrestling that kind of
is a sport.
UFC is a total sport.
But this is only-- whenever I talk about UFC, whether it
was on this or PKA, 5% of the audience cares about it.
It's still an emerging sport.
Really?
I feel like I know so many people that are into UFC.
You also hang out with us.
Yeah
I do, but I mean outside of my work circle of friends,
like I have other friends that have
UFC parties on the regular.
I don't know.
There's something about the UFC that people still
see it as this not dignified sport,
even though boxing is like crazy.
I was about to say, Do you think that boxing is bigger than UFC
still?
Oh, 100%.
Really?
There's a reason why Floyd Mayweather makes as much money
as he does.
Well, boxing has the history behind it.
People have been boxing fans forever.
It's a culture.
I can't watch a boxing match.
Really?
Don't you watch UFC?
Oh yeah, totally because UFC is like, if someone goes down,
there's no one being like, all right, get off.
Like it's a full-out fight.
Yeah.
Floyd Mayweather got me back into it.
I was into it when it was like Holyfield-Tyson.
Well, I wonder why.
People were eating each other.
But then seeing Mayweather at his age, still fucking dodging.
Yeah.
I'm like, it's amazing.
It's pretty incredible.
People can say whatever they want about his ego,
he is amazing to watch.
So you're a fan of UFC.
Yeah, but I'm definitely more of a fan of UFC.
I'm a fan of fighters in boxing.
And then what, Manny Pacquiao?
Really?
Aw, but he tries to "peak" English,
and it's not very good.
It's cute.
Anyway, let's move on.
Cody Rhodes is cute, if we're talking about cute wrestlers.
Be my boyfriend, Cody Rhodes.
Oh yeah.
Is he a newer one?
No, he's been around a bit.
Stone Cold and Shawn Michaels, forever, those
are my two favorites.
He's a muscly man with a little bit of a lisp,
and I'm way into it.
Cody Rhodes.
I'm just thinking of how ridiculous so many of those WWE
story lines were.
I love them!
Oh, they're so weird.
I love them!
When there was the Undertaker and the corporate-- fuck,
I can't remember.
And then there was Stone Cold and he
jumped over a police officer.
D-Generation X, is that what you're thinking?
No, no, no.
You can't see me.
I still don't know if this actually
happened, if you guys can let me know because I had a friend who
had trouble communicating as a kid.
And there was someone that got knocked out.
They were out of wrestling, they were injured.
And I was like, How'd they get injured?
And he said that Kane shot a fireball out of his finger
and injured them.
And I tried to inquire further, but this boy
had quite a roadblock in the head.
And it was just one of those things
where I still to this they do not
know if they actually had a special effects of a fireball
coming out of Kane's finger.
If they did, I missed it, but it was probably awesome.
I would hate that.
Anyway.
Some people can shoot fire out of their hands.
Ian Ramos KCCO says, Why are cartoons worse
than they were years ago?
There's some decent ones now.
I think that's a bit of nostalgia in the question.
There's a lot of when you're younger,
you just kind of forgive more.
But I will say this.
Back when I think Teen Nick used to air "Kenan and Kel"
and all that at night.
I was like, Oh this is still pretty funny.
And I don't know if it's because I revert back to that mindset,
and now when I watch kids shows, I'm like, I don't know these.
Where's Keenan Thompson and Kel Mitchell?
And Kenan's on "SNL," and Kel is at "Good Burger."
Those guys, they were on that one show.
Was it "All That"?
Yeah, and that was the 30-minute SNL thing.
Exactly.
Right and I remember fondly to it,
but then I saw a few clips of when
he's doing the French thing in the tub,
and I was like this shit was terrible.
Pierre Escargot.
I love the French in the tub.
I thought it was hilarious.
I think it is the nostalgia, right?
Because you could talk about old-school cartoons.
I remember staying in on the weekend and being like,
This is exciting!
SNICK was thrilling.
Yeah, but Adult Swim is amazing most of the time.
Adult Swim's great.
Archer's fantastic.
Archer's amazing, but if we're talking about kids cartoons.
Well, I'd just say cartoons in general.
I mean, imagine if this person's saying old-school cartoons,
they're probably an adult, too.
Yeah.
Well, if you watch "American Dad,"
"American Dad" is super funny.
Now we're talking about all cartoons
their kind of targeted towards adults.
Those are definitely geared towards adults.
But I mean if you're talking about "Looney Tunes,"
those are very much a cartoon re-creation
of a slapstick comedy of an older era.
I was watching "Laurel and Hardy"
over at a friend's house, which is
like some of the original movie stars of comedy,
of physical comedy.
And they fell, a piano fell on him.
And then he just kind of did this thing.
That's like "Bugs Bunny," full on.
Exactly.
Full on.
So when you watch the old "Looney Tunes,"
it's very much a reflection of the comedy of that day.
So when you watch stuff like "American Dad" or "Futurama,"
it is a cartoon reflection of our version of comedy--
very wordy, very heady, cutaways, non sequiturs--
which is what I personally to this day find very funny.
So when you look at young kids cartoons,
it might be a reflection of the comedy
of what that generation was.
I also think a lot of the kids cartoons
right now that are super popular are educational.
Like what?
If you look at "Dora the Explorer" and stuff like that.
Is that still popular?
Yeah, is that-- DJ's shaking his had
that that's not still popular.
"Adventure Time," "Regular Show."
And also "My Little Pony."
I know people love "My Little Pony."
Have you ever watched it?
I have not watched it.
Here, I almost proposed this live on the air
that we should do one episode of "My Little Pony"
and react to what we think of it.
Ross is a "brony," putting that out there.
But I've been accused of not giving it a fair shot,
and they're not wrong.
I mean, when you hear "My Little Pony,"
Apparently, it's hilarious.
It's not like "My Little Pony" when we were kids.
So now, "bronies," where should we start?
Should we just start it when it came back?
And would you guys be interested in that?
Before I go ahead and commit us to that.
We want to make sure that you guys want it.
I was just saying, so we could watch it and go like--
I wouldn't watch it unless we were doing it.
I think we should watch it first and then see
if should do something about it.
It's a huge culture, and they did re-launch it.
Someone was giving me the whole low-down
because I was kind of accusatory of their liking it.
And they're just like, You haven't given it a shot.
And I was like, How would you know?
And they're like, Because if you did,
you wouldn't be talking about it that way.
Right.
That's exactly the thing, a lot of people
think "bronies" or dudes that are into "My Little Ponies"
and they think "My Little Ponies" from years
ago, from way, way, way, way back when,
when it was just like "Care Bears" but with ponies.
But apparently, it's not now.
One of my inspirations, my improv inspirations,
I took a class with him.
We were just kind of chatting.
And I said, What shows are you into?
Because I respected him comedically so much.
He was like, You're going to laugh,
but I really love "My Little Pony."
And I laughed.
He was right.
And he didn't break.
And I was like, Are you serious?
He's like, Yeah, it's actually a really good show.
My experience with liking "My Little Pony"
is when they take clips from the show
and they make it look like they're singing hardcore rap.
I thought that was fan-created.
No, it's totally fan-created.
That's what I mean.
That's it.
For me, that's it.
I'll watch an episode.
That's what it is for you.
Yeah, we should totally watch that.
I was going to say--
--Pepe Le Pew being so rape-y?
Pepe Le Pew is this, I think, today.
Can I tell you how much I loved Pepe Le Pew as a kid.
Did someone say that, or did that
just come out of your head?
No, I was just thinking, because we're
thinking old-school cartoons.
There's a lot of stuff that I think couldn't fly,
I mean the old-school stuff got a little--
He's not "rape-y."
He was just trying to kiss.
You know who would be the perfect Pepe Le Pew?
If I started all of a sudden kissing
on you, up your arm and--
No, no.
And then the joke later on once they--
It's French.
It's romantic.
See, that's almost making it better.
What's the guy from "The Artist"?
And then the joke was when he met the one girl that was more
into him, and then she got "rape-y."
And then he was like-- [GROANS]
[LAUGHTER]
Is that not humans?
Just like you really like this girl.
Oh, you're into me?
Uh.
It's Barney Stinson.
Yeah, classic Barney Stinson.
OK, FlyingMonkeysAttack-- I like your name--
says, Best song that puts you in the mood to work?
Oh, dude.
Britney Spears' "Work Bitch" makes no sense as a song,
but it's just like, bam, bam.
Just listen to the song, and you'd
understand that it'd be so easy to just work out to it.
I love that you just admitted that on the internet.
It's a terrible song.
It's like, Do you want a Maserati?
I'm like, no.
Do you want a Bugatti?
I'm like, No, I still don't.
You're just saying names of expensive things.
It's a terrible song.
If you like that, you shoul listen to Lorde, "Royals."
Just the worst workout song in the entire world.
No it's just like, na-na--na-na-na-na-na.
Wow.
I like musicals.
To work out to.
Yeah, because it-- Actually, you know what I really
prefer is being on the phone with someone working out
because it totally distracts my brain.
I'm not ignoring you.
I'm seeing if I still have SoundCloud,
because I listen to this when I actually do work out
and I'm not being a piece of shit.
There's this song that-- wait maybe.
It's like a 90-minute dubstep workout.
No, I'd hate that.
Dubstep would actually make my head pound.
It would make me focus more on the idea
that I'm tired and working out.
It's an hour.
You're not going to be able to play any of this, by the way.
But wait, let's bump it up a little more.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
It's a mix of I want to say 80 songs.
The first time listened to it, it
gave me a close panic attack.
A nosebleed.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
No, I'm out.
100%.
I couldn't work out to that.
I do like mash-ups, though.
I like things that keep me thinking, talking,
so I really like musicals because I
feel like I'm watching the show, and it takes me out of my body.
And it doesn't have to be a faster paced song for you?
It helps if it is, but "Book of Mormon" has been my go-to.
Just like that opening number, and I really--
It's coming back to LA!
I know, I'm going.
Me, too!
I have to stop myself from dancing while I run.
And part of me thinks like, just take a freaking dance class,
Ross.
But I want to be on "West Side Story."
I love it.
Going down the street.
I have to say, if I saw a dude at the gym on a treadmill,
busting out some "West Side Story,"
I'd be like, Props to you, buddy.
[HUMMING]
Is that what you would do?
I would.
I would start a conversation.
I'd go for the pirouette and just
start tumbling on the treadmill, the never-ending trip and fall.
You have to do it smooth, though.
Oh no, I can't do that.
No, no.
I always work out to cheesy, bubblegum pop.
Yeah, yeah.
Like Toybox is great.
Listen to some Aqua?
I'm a Barbie girl--
They have like four hits.
They have four hits.
"Mr. Jones" and "Barbie World."
What else was there?
I got two of them.
Other stuff that's just-- it gets stuck in your head
and I can't remember.
All that matters is that it's got that [HUMMING]
while you're listening.
So it keeps me on beat.
It keeps me going.
You can listen to some-- what is it?
Am I going to get the name wrong?
Benny Benassi?
[MUMBLING]
Avicii?
No.
Edgar Garibay says, Do you still go and buy
physical forms of music, or do you prefer digital?
I'm all digital all the time.
That's just me.
I am as well, but I just went over
to a friend's house who had a record player.
And there's nothing more haunting than hearing the Mamas
and the Paps coming over an old-school record player.
Oh, Record players are bad-ass.
It's like there's this nice nostalgic gristle to the music.
I heard vinyl actually does sell pretty well now.
Oh I'm sure.
It feels like Silver Lake.
That's the capital of Los Angeles,
for those of you playing the home game.
There is a nostalgic factor of, This is way better on vinyl.
Well, I heard it actually is better as far
as the full sound.
But what I think is the bigger question here--
and I always feel like an old stupid bastard when
I ask this-- is, Do you buy, or do you take from places where
you don't have to exchange money?
Ooooh.
You mean like Spotify, does that count as buying?
You know what?
I think I would say Modify counts.
Spotify, Pandora--
Radio--
Because they have ads, so the artists are still getting paid.
Pandora is different because it's just free.
I used to download.
I used to download all the time, but I bought the Marshall
Mathers LP 2 just because I wanted it immediately,
and I didn't want to have to wait to search and find
the thing.
And it was under $20, and it was just there.
And then also like I could get the bonus tracks and stuff.
But actually now that I'm thinking about,
I'm kind of regretting not just downloading it
because it's like Eminem doesn't need my money.
Awww.
So then that's the thing, right?
Because if they're a small guy, I'll do it.
Because I was talking to some of the guys here and other places,
not to name names, but they were like, If it's a smaller guy,
I feel more justified.
But they still probably take it from them.
They just download and steal their music even if--
Well, that's interesting.
--or something like that.
Well, but I'm also in a place where I can buy 10 albums,
and it's not like, oh that's going to hurt me.
It's not going to hurt my bank.
But I don't know.
I understand the mindset of not buying
for like the really expensive people.
But I bought Beyonce's album.
I bought .
It's cool.
Part of it is also if I want it, I buy for my phone.
It's the number one place-- I don't do it
on iTunes or anything like that.
It's just like, Oh here it is, and I could download the album
immediately within seconds.
ITunes has all my credit card information.
Don't steal it.
But that's also-- I understand when I was younger,
and I didn't have as much cash, I
was on Napster like fucking crazy.
We all were.
And Kazaa and Morpheus, like all those file-sharing sites.
Did you guys ever have an oink.me account?
No.
Oink.me was the best.
It's how I got my editing software maybe.
I don't know if this is incriminating or not.
This is the second one in a row that I've
said some incriminating stuff.
Sounds like Metallica is going to come after you.
Yeah, oh come after me, Lars Ulrich.
Watch out!
But it was one of those things where
it's just like that was the easiest way to get it.
It wasn't that I didn't want to pay for it.
It was like this is the most convenient way to get it.
So, yeah, for the most part, I usually
would say it's an accessibility issue.
But you can get it anywhere on any device whatsoever.
If you don't have it, then I think
it would be interesting to hear from the artists.
Because I think the artists have a different mindset,
like if they're on a label, I think for the most part,
they just want you to listen to it.
Yeah, because the label's already
paid them for everything.
They make their money on tour.
Yeah, they make their money on tour,
but of course, when the record industry is like,
What the fuck?
We're not making any money or at least not as much
as we used to make.
Whatever, that the record industry's
falling because they failed to adapt
to new means of social media.
Can we sue everyone?
Let's sue everybody.
I don't know.
It's been such a long time since I've actually
purchased any music-- not because I'm getting it
illegally or anything like that-- just because I'll
do a Pandora or a Spotify if I want to listen to music.
And then if I really, really want something
because I have a record player at home,
I'll try to get it on vinyl if I can,
because then it's artwork too.
Right.
It's like a nice thing to have in your house.
It's more fun to do this than it is to do this.
Just pulling it out, putting it on.
There was almost like a dance when
he would put the new album on.
And we listened to Mel Brooks' "2000 Year Old Man" on vinyl,
and it was just like, Oh man.
It was nice because we just sat in front of a fire
and listened to "The 2000 Year Old Man."
It was like, This is the perfect night.
We weren't gathered around a glowing screen.
It was just like this really nice-- I almost
felt like I was interacting with a person.
You were talking to other people?
Yeah, there was an openness rather than
this closed-off-ness that we tend
to have around our gadgets.
Where were you around a fire?
My friend's apartment.
It was a good night.
He could have had me if he wanted me.
Everything was in place.
Do you hear that friend, are you watching?
He just didn't make the move.
I think Ross giving away his an anal virginity
is probably the perfect way to end today's show.
Until next time, I am Philip DeFranco's face.
I'm not for sale.
I'm Ross Everett.
