0:00 I am OutOfContextPokemon and this is my Pokemon story.
0:43 welcome to As the Pokeball Turns, where we interview people about their experience with Pokemon My name is David Hernandez I'm joined by OutOfContextPokemon, here to step out of the scenes of Twitterverse And share the Pokemon story. Oh, Oh, see, welcome to the podcast. Ah, thank you, thank you. Though, uh, I guess for, uh, simplicity's sake, you can refer to me as Kazuhira. So, you know, before we dive into things, for those who don't know, you have an X or Twitter account that posts Pokemon content that kind of mixes with like, I guess we're world or maybe past experiences. What made you kind of want to start this content, Well, funny story, actually.
1:29 I am, actually not the original owner, but the original owner themselves, which I'm not going to name out of, you know, privacy, they wanted out because they were so tired, or rather they feel personally tired of running the account and they just wanted to give it away to someone who's willing to take over. And Yeah, that would be me and my co owner, Sammy. since you took it over, did you have like a connection with them at the time? And what made you kind of want to step up into this role? Well No, I did not have any connection, but I was one of the people who messaged out of, you know, interest to keep the page alive.
2:09 And I guess what made me want to step up with it is because before that announcement was made, I was already running One or two Pokemon Twitter pages at the time, but as a moderator, I don't own them. That would be Pokemon World Tweets and Miju with Pokemon Music. Oh, that's awesome. I didn't know you did that one. Yeah, unfortunately the first, unfortunately the first one got hacked last year, so, you know, that's, that's pretty much history. No, I was going to say, it's kind of cool how you kind of had different avenues, I guess, to kind of express the Pokemon interest. Yeah, funny thing about that, cause it used to have like, less than 2, 000 followers, but by the time I signed up to be a mod, well, look at it now, it's almost at 32, 000 followers, but yeah, tangent aside, yeah, I just wanted to keep the page alive.
3:03 And, uh, I guess Sammy was the, you know, The original guy who was given the keys and then we had the third guy coming with us, which I'm not going to also name because, you know, they want to be private, but there were three of us. We had a bit of a fumbling about because we were trying to, I guess get a feel for what the content was. And, uh, I guess after some personal disagreements with the original owner, me and Sammy just took it upon ourselves to run it on our own. Uh, except, Sammy prefers to, you know, I guess stick as an advisor of sorts.
3:44 And that gives me being the quote unquote main owner and practically the public face of this page. So we'll dive into more of the Twitter side of things later, but I kind of want to start like, When did you first became interested in this franchise? Where does it all start? Huh, I guess even before I turned like two years old I guess like because I was born at the time when the anime series, the original one, They, you know, they released the 4Kids dub on our country's, broadcasting scheduling. And I still remember watching, the Indigo League on that, you know, one of those old TVs those square ones that if you try to carry you definitely have to be careful otherwise you'll, uh, crush your fingers underneath.
4:36 Heh heh heh. We call that a box TVs over here where I'm from. And they'd be like the one giant ones where you'd be like sometimes two or three people to carry. Yeah, that one. It was a Japanese TV too, so definitely one of the top of the line TVs at the time. So you said you started an anime, so you were watching Ash Ketchum trying to go through his journey with Misty and Brock and going through the Indigo League, I assume, Yes, I was there since the beginning, so anyone who, anyone who dares say that I wasn't there since the beginning, well, I can send them photos of, you know, myself, or rather, my one year old self watching the anime series, like I have it here, actually, under my bed.
5:20 really? You the old VHS tabs and stuff like that. Nah, no photos. We're, you know, I guess, you know, you know, we're, know, you know, you know our parents. They, they always want to take photos of us when we were kids. Even when we're not doing anything. So, yeah, one of those photos is me watching the TV and apparently Ash is in that TV. So for me, when I grew up, you know, they had the Polaroids and the like one time cameras or Kodak's. Did you have those? Or is it kind of more you had to go digital at that point? No, no, it was still at the time when Kodaks were still the, you know, the dominating force in, uh, cameras.
6:00 that's what I remember because I would always take photos because back in the day when selfies were becoming a thing and my mom would get on to me, but like, why are you wasting all this film taking selfies? She didn't understand it, but I was using her Kodak camera to try to take a selfie because I didn't have a phone back then, Yeah, but yeah, that's the very first, uh, exposure to the series, which is funny because most of the experiences that kids in America have something to relate to are the games, you know, Pokemon Red and Blue, but not me, not me, not me. You know, my parents never entertained the idea of giving me a Gameboy since, well, I'm one year old. I mean, who, who, who would even give a one year old a Gameboy, let alone a cartridge?
6:48 That's fair. So, because, you know, you didn't play with red and blue, you're basically washing ash through his journey for the longest time. When did you kind of, I guess, dive into maybe the trading cards or the video game side of Well, I guess video game, it really all started in 2003 with Pokemon Ruby, when it was still brand new and the cartridge just cost like 30 bucks with the original box and everything. Oh, I miss those Yeah, though it wasn't my copy. It was my cousin's actually. you know, because we, we always do these, family visits on occasions. And one of those occasions, they, you know, my cousins, they came in with their flashy Game Boy Advance SPs at the time.
7:33 And you know back then if you owned a Gameboy Advance SP you're practically a walking rich kid. Yep. Yeah, so they asked me like, do you like Pokemon? You know, you want to try it? And you know, being the, impressionable child I was, I, I, you know, I tried it and I still remember that my first, partner is Torchic actually. Hmm. Okay. Torchic, and I still have vivid memories of them making fun of my other cousin for choosing Trico. Oh, why'd they make fun of them?
8:14 I have no idea, but I'm going to take a wild assumption that it's because of its Uh, that makes sense. Yeah. Yeah, but types. They always get the made fun of all the I know, right? But that's with the games. TCG, I am, well, super, super late. I have never collected TCGs in those years. So, I guess you can say that I missed out on the real golden age of trading cards for the Pokemon series. it all started in December 2021 when I ordered, singles from a local shopping site.
8:55 One of those, cards was a trainer card of Hop. And I guess, I just got dragged in, cause I really love the idea of collecting cards and, my first set, real set, proper set would be, uh, Sword and Shield Lost Origins. And my very first, you know, what they call a hit or slash chase card is the Aerodactyl actually. and I only found out because someone mentioned that I practically, regained my one time in quote unquote investment. Idiots. Oh my gosh. He's like, Oh, you made all your money back from this arid actopole.
9:36 Yeah, I mean, I had no idea at the time, but I knew that, you know, it was going to be a very interesting hobby. do you still collect the TCG nowadays? Or is it kind of something you just dabble in sometimes? I recently went back actually. In fact, I've been actively, publicly humiliating scalpers left and right Cause, uh, you know, they made it personal with me when they, uh, flooded the site when I was about to check out one box. Uh, yeah. Oh, man, that's why I'm grateful that I'm not that deep in the TCG right now, because that all would just ruin it for me. I think, you know, Yeah, but thankfully I have, friends and partners that I can rely on should I really want a box or two.
10:23 really, it's not a huge loss for me, unlike most people. So, when you first started diving into the video game silos, Rubin's half was your first game. Were you still keeping up with the anime at that point? Like, were you just watching the anime like every day up to access journey? Mm hmm, yes, but I guess by the time Black and White rolled out I, kind of stopped and diverged from there because Funny story, because you you don't hear this often but There was another series competing for my favorite. That was Digimon Oh, yes, And you know, of course I loved it as well in fact Jason Page's intro is really iconic.
11:05 I still, still know the lyrics from heart. But, if we're talking about endings, Digimon takes the cake. especially the original ending for Season 1, which is, uh, you know, I Wish by Ai Maeda. Ah, So going back to playing Ruby Pokemon, Ruby and Sapphire, what do you remember most about playing those first Pokemon games? Did you feel like you were kind of living the anime world at that point, or did you kind of feel like it was a different adventure? It was a totally different adventure. And I guess the most memorable part of the games really was the music. Yeah. music that sticks out Petalburg City. Oh, yes. that's one of the most memorable like, themes for me in that game and, The Starting Town, I forgot its name actually.
11:53 Uh, little Root Little Road Town, yeah, that's forever etched in my memory. And, it wasn't, it was an entirely different experience compared to watching the anime. but, you know, but it's still as memorable. as it was when I first started it. for me. The songs that stick to my head. Is one for tree city. Ah, Yep. I love that song the most. And I always loved the second one was the underwater theme. the, what's his face, the dive team. Yes, yes Yeah, I mean, it's funny, unless you're, I guess, IGN, which, you know, they're gonna stay away from it. well IGN doesn't have good taste, but that's me But I've always wanted like the underwater theme as like a lullaby because it's just so soothing I could literally fall asleep to it.
12:43 That's how good it is for me. So I play gen 1, but I'm a gen 3, baby I love the gen 3 games the music was one of the most appealing parts besides the whole world, of course Oh yeah, I mean story wise and game mechanics, it's really the music that sets it apart for me. they never fail to, you know, amaze me with the music every single time. What did you think of the remakes? You know, Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire. Did you get a chance to experience those games? Ah, unfortunately, I am one of those people who have never experienced the 3DS era because I was in college at the time and, you know, being a, college kid, I have no money.
13:25 Oh my gosh. I mean, it's true though. I mean, we're in college. We're kind of broke. So we don't really got the kind of money to put out for those kind of games. Yeah, but I was actively hearing about talks of sun and moon around 2016. And, that's, uh, when it started to up slowly but surely because around the time Sword and Shield was announced, and I, I really wanted it because, you know, they evolved from what I used to play in a Game Boy to the Switch, it was really impressive for me, so, you know, back then I wasn't aware that behind the scenes fans were actively, you know, fighting each other over a damn tree.
14:07 Yeah, it's pathetic, really. Like, really, out of all the things you could argue about. Really? But, it took a while for me to get a Switch. In fact, I guess it's meant to be, because around January 2020, I bought my first Switch. And, funny enough, it's the Sword and Shield Lite Edition. Ooh. You really dived into all of sword and shield. Like that really hooked you back in fully into Pokemon. and I guess a few days later, my friend gifted me a gift card to basically buy shield and I guess that's how it all started again.
14:48 Now I've got to ask you, cause you know, it's two different legendaries. Which did you prefer? Did you prefer Zamazenta or Zacian? Zamazenta. Oh, the shield dog. Hey, all right. You're the only other person I've ever met who prefers Zamazenta. Yeah. I made sure Zacian is useful for Singles and double battles, but Zamazenta is my personal pick always it just looks, you know, it just Appeals to me really and A dog wearing a shield. It looks funny to me So you said, you know, you skipped out of all of the 3ds era because you just, you know, broke college kid, right? What was it like to kind of return to Pokemon's experience sword and shield after your last Pokemon game before that?
15:31 Ah amazing it's like I guess it's like jumping from the PS1 and immediately to the PS4 or 3. You know like everything about it was amazing and again as always the music is what sets it apart for me. was it kind of overwhelming to kind of be open world to kind of see the graphics and everything? no, but it was definitely something that I did not expect from Pokemon, cause It was linear when back in the days, but you know for you to freely explore things and unlock Routes as you go. It was amazing I guess the only thing I didn't like was the story because what's his face here you do know solar power is a thing, right?
16:18 Yes. Yep. Yeah in the Pokemon world. It already does exist. It was ahead of its time. Yeah, and, you know, this is more of a personal vendetta than a criticism of the game, but I vehemently hate the Sword and Shield twins, Swordbert and Shieldbert. God, I hate them. I hope they, I hope they die very soon. Damn. He really does not like these people. Okay. Like, you know, the moment they op they started speaking, I just, I when they start when they started to open their mouth, I was like, oh my god, shut the fuck up and die already!
16:59 Wow. So they just annoyed you from the get go. Yeah, like, before Sword and Shield, the last character that did this for me was, uh, and I mean this with no, you know, toxic intent, Sans, from Undertale. Like, you know, like, not the boss battle, but, you know, just simply his existence irritates the hell out of me. But, you know, Swordbird and Shieldbird were, you know, were pretty much experts at this more than sans. So, yeah, they're, you know, they're still my, you know, my most hated characters in pretty much out of every franchise. And, you know, I still hope That in in that world they die a horrible and painful death that's the third version where you get a chance to torture him however you want, okay?
17:47 It'll be Pokemon guillotine for you. Yeah but yeah, It really is a wonderful experience to play shield when all when all the games you played on pokemon was Practically just on a game boy really so Personally, I feel like, you know, I mean, and I mean no disrespect, but, I feel like Pokemon fans generally just, come off as rude and ungrateful, really. In what way? I guess, you know, like, like, sure, no game is perfect, but to actively, nitpick every single thing, and worst of all, harassing other fans for simply loving the game.
18:30 It's just, you know, insanity, really. I think that's kind of something more recent for example, people nowadays, they want the voice acting. They want a more grittier plot. Pokemon's never been either of those things. You know, the grittiest plot we ever get is Pokemon Colosseum back in GameCube days. If you know, you know, and even then it's kind of tame. And even, you know, voice acting, I know that's huge, but for me growing up, a lot of people wanted the 3d graphics, which we have now, people were like, why are y'all still using the bit graphics? You know, Pokemon black and white was the last one where they felt like, Oh, it's beyond, you know, they should have gone to what we got that now the models. And for me, I look at it, I'm like, I kind of missed the graphics, but.
19:10 You know, I've been in Pokemon a long time since day one. So, well, not day one, but at least, you know, early days, Yeah, good, good, good, yeah, cause, I guess I wasn't active in the community until 2000 and late 2022. So, you know, basically to start off in 2023. No, no, no, correction, correction. It was late 2021 because by the time March 2022 rolled out, I already joined the World Tweets account as a mod. Oh my gosh. I'm sorry. That's where your sanity went. So, you know, back then, I, uh, witnessed a lot of dramatic stuff, especially when Scarlet and Violet came out.
19:54 Yeah, still like people for some reason, still dog on those games. I'm like, yo, yeah, there's some graphical issues, but that game's honestly on at least top five, almost to me, maybe even top two. It's that high that I love those games. But like you said, a lot of people look more towards. What they didn't do right than what they did right, if that makes sense. yeah. I guess the only weird decision for me that I still don't understand to this day was, why Ed Sheeran? Like, what's, what's, what's the reasoning, you know? I thought he was, I thought he grew up a Pokemon fan. I mean, aside from that, like, you know, on, uh, I guess I'm just trying to understand, out of all the things they could do, why Ed Sheeran, of all people, do a credit song, cause it, I, I, you know, like, yeah, I just finished, you know, the Area Zero story, happy ending, and then Ed Sheeran just pops up and like, huh?
20:48 What's going on? Hey, I'll tell you what, when I have Ed Sheeran on the podcast, I'll ask him that question for you. If I ever, okay, I don't think I'll ever get him, but still, you know, I can dream. Who would you want though? Who would you, if it wasn't for Ed Sheeran, who would you have wanted to sing a song instead? Uh, well, he's dead now, but if he was still alive, I guess Michael Jackson. or if, we're talking about artists that are still active in any way, Rick Astley. because, you know, he has a very rich voice that I think, Will do well on a credit song like that So, you know, you starting the Twitter account, you took it over at the time.
22:18 How has it been to kind of keep up with the content to kind of put a tweet out for people to kind of enjoy? Is it been challenging or has it been something that's kind of easy for you to do? Um, It was challenging at first because I guess you can equate this to a detective sifting through folders of old cases. It's like that, except I was browsing through literal hundreds and thousands of pictures just to see which the audience would like. And I guess, slowly but surely, I started to branch out with just remaining out of context only. I mean, I've been posting, you know, intro songs, archive stuff like the very first Pokemon commercial for the US, not the Red and Blue but the anime.
23:02 And, with the blessing of the owner, Reposting stuff that we edited for media with pokemon music Like you know, repost our old edits as good morning slash good night post. Cause, you know, we want to, well rather, I wanted to, uh, you know, start their day with, and end their day with a funny video cause I, personally speaking, I wouldn't want to start my morning on a very, very sour note. as much as possible, I want to try and, Give the audience, or anyone, visiting the page, really, something to look at before their day starts slash ends, really. You basically want people who visit that pays it's the first thing they see kind of bring cheers them up in a way Yeah, because, I guess a bit of backstory about the page and the original owner.
23:53 The original owner, based on my observations, They love to argue with people and not just specific ones. it could be anyone that they don't like, especially. So, you know, back then they were basically breeding hate on specific people. No rather, any people really on that platform. Doesn't matter if you're IGN, a news company. a transphobe person or simply they just don't like you You know, if you're on their side, you're very damn well expected to show up on their profile and with them making fun of you or something and you know when I took over and we parted ways on a very sour note Basically, I took it upon myself to rebrand the page away from their identity and their past and basically just turn it into something where anyone regardless whether they follow us or not and whether they're a pokemon fan or not it is a page where they can expect to see stuff that will cheer them up rather than you know upset them like what the previous owner did What was the response once you decided to shift, you know, away from a base?
25:08 It sounds like trolling or attacking people to be in, I guess, more wholesome and to kind of make more engaging, funny content. Ah, well, there was a small group of people me and sammy called the oomphies because The old piece. yeah because they were personally or rather unintentionally sent out by the original owner against us they were basically not happy with what we were trying to do and Oh, wow. you know just took every opportunity especially mistakes to like, criticize us or even downright make fun of us But thankfully majority of the people were like shut the fuck up get out of here Dang.
25:52 So the owner even was against you trying to rebrand it, even though they gave it to you. No, no like Like not against but like they were actively making fun of me and sammy even before we left on a sour note like they thought they're slick, but back then when they still haven't blocked us, I was checking on their profile from time to time and sometimes I'd see them co tweeting one of our posts and, you know, just them making fun of us for it. so, you know, I'm really glad that, they block us and, you know, I block him, block him back because really. those, those types of people in the fandom are the ones that, you know, ruins the community in a sense, because all they do is nothing but breed discord and, you know, so chaos amongst community members.
26:38 So, you know, for me to, you know, practically erase every single bit of their identity, it was cathartic and I guess. at the same time, I'm proud that I practically turned it into a page where anyone, regardless of their status and community can feel welcome to and not fear being prejudiced. Now you're in a situation to where you're kind of a faceless content creator. People don't really, you don't really post your face at all. What is it kind of like to be able to kind of observe the community from that standpoint to where you're posting stuff and you kind of see, I guess the talking heads around the community around you. It's very interesting'cause A lot of people look up to the page.
27:20 In fact, where I live, months ago, I found out that they practically treat me like a celebrity here. Really? Yeah, I mean, there are artists that personally knows who I really am behind the scenes, but that's because, I would visit their art stalls during conventions. And after buying Pokemon stickers, keychains, you know, anything really. I would ask them to check their Discord for a special surprise, and the last thing I would hear from them is, I guess, you know, they're just gleeing with joy. Oh, you make their day. Yeah, that was the reason why I did it, but, you know, on a grand scale, nah, I don't go around saying, hey, I'm this guy, you know.
28:01 Like, that's stupid really. I was going about to ask you, like, if you go out, tell people you're actually OOC. So you kind of keep it private from who you are in the public sector. Yeah, but if it's with, you know, friends that really knows me. And, you know, artists, locally speaking. Nah, I'm okay with them knowing, cause, I trust them. I was wondering, so why wouldn't you want that notoriety? Because clearly, you know, you're a celebrity in your local area. Do you not want that attention? I guess everywhere. I guess it just feels weird, cause I'm not used to such status or, you know, affectionate feelings from other people, because That's pretty much it, really.
28:44 I'm just not used to it, you know, being treated like a celebrity because uh, I just do what I do out what I love, really, and I'm not doing this for fame Um, I think that's so great because sometimes. When people taste that kind of stardom, I guess, or that attention, it goes to their head and they start kind of believing their own hype. They start thinking they're all that it's easy to get kind of arrogant and overconfident, but then for you, you don't care for it. You just want to enjoy Pokemon and kind of be a part of the community as a whole. yeah, I have to admit, I did use that platform to try and get a leg up in the job sector. Cause, you know, I've been managing social media accounts for years now so, to basically tell the company I'm applying for that, you know, I run this page, they'll definitely be impressed and possibly would want to hire me but that's pretty much it really.
29:38 we were talking about the social media side of just. Content creation in the earlier. You said you had to kind of find out what your audience liked. How did you go about doing that creating the content and finding out people who follow you on Twitter or I'm sorry X liked when it comes to what you do now. basically observed as time passed by. Oh, and I guess I did ask some, I did some polls, but that's, those were more like community, focus in mind. Like, what do you think is the best game, best explorer, best PMD game in existence and stuff like that. And I guess from there, I just slowly caught on, on what they really like, like, aside from out of context images and videos.
30:23 You know, I just started to notice that they really like the funny, the funny stuff more. And, the wholesome stuff, like, I've noticed that even though it didn't get many, even though it didn't reach like a thousand likes or so, I've noticed that, there is a group of people that really enjoys, the more wholesome side of Pokemon, like, say, Concierge, the Netflix series. as of recent, they're starting to like the more wholesome content. And, I guess, this is obvious, but, you know, seeing the biggest, Pokemon fan slash gimmick page, publicly humiliating scalpers left and right 24 7.
31:04 You kind of become the superhero in a way, Yeah, I mean, I'm not afraid to, call out bad actors within the community as OOC. In fact, let them come, and I'll, you know, and I'll have the, and I'll have the news ready for them. Um, what response have you ever gotten any like private messages of people thanking you for some of the content you post? yeah, the most memorable for me. Was, when I was still starting out as the public face and lead owner of OOC, like, I posted a goodnight post and it was the full ending of platinum. And you know, just out of nowhere, a follower messaged the page they were basically saying, thank you for posting that, that, they always have a bad time and, you know, to see us or see me posting the full ending and it appearing on their timeline, it just, basically, you know, ended their day on a much more positive note than it normally is.
32:04 And you know, I still wonder what happened to that person to this day. Cause it was really heartwarming to receive a message like that back then. And it still is to this day. I don't receive much of it nowadays, but that's one of the most memorable fan DMs that I ever got as OOC. It reminds me of that cliche saying nowadays, but still kind of true. You never know what people are kind of battling and sometimes a kind word or a kind gesture in this case, maybe a funny post. Can kind of change things for people. Yeah, that's why, you know, I always make it a point and focus to just, do what I love while at the same time give the audience what they'd like to see or what I believe they'd like to see and, you know, get a laugh out of it.
32:49 Really? My last question, just in regards to OOC, you have Porygon as kind of the logo. Is that also the favorite Pokemon It's my favorite too, but when the owner was still the owner, it was a Porgon Z. You know, I reverted it back to the Porgon 2 one. it's funny, because it wasn't supposed to be shiny, but I said, if we gained a million followers again, I will change this into a shiny and I stuck with my word And now you've got the shiny Porygon too. Yeah, it really is and we contacted an artist to commission a new profile picture for us. like aside from what I normally do We also do our best to help, artists who I believe should be popular more than most people.
33:40 And I'm also partnered with a lot of shops and so many, wonderful people who, you know, who sells merchandise. You know, like, a normal store, not those, idiots that sells things at 300 percent above the MSRP. the few ones that, uh, That has been with us since the beginning. It will be Fun Lab and Hobby Genki. And if it wasn't for them, then we would have never attracted the attention of our, you know, now existing partnerships with other shops and people. so you said Porygon2 is your favorite.
34:20 What is it about Porygon2 that made it solidified your favorite? Was it like a moment or was it just something about it? It's one of my favorites, I guess it's because, you know, there's two reasons. One is because, you know, why would you hate that little guy? It looks cute. True, true. And the other is, uh, it was a VGC moment when I was still actively participating in Sword and Shield Online Battles. There was this Porgon2 that was holding some sort of item, Eviolite if I'm correct. Yes. You know, it was, you know, I was trying my best to like, you know, knock it out, but it just, stood it on its own two feet. And I guess it really just defined who Porgon2 is for me aside from being cute.
35:06 And I guess the real star of the favorites would be, you know mainly fire types and specifically the three starters Cinderace, Blaziken, and Quackoval Well, OC, I want to close this interview with the last question. And since you love the fire type, I want to restrict you to fire types only, If you had to make a fire type Pokemon team What six Pokemon would you choose? ah well definitely Cinderace is the lead because speed and attack Would you also use the G max form? I assume. yeah I love that one Incineroar, because, you know, who wouldn't want WolfieVGC on their team?
35:48 Wolfy, you guarantee you a win too. Yeah! Who else? Volcarona, because I find that little moth funny looking. Blaziken, because, you know, I never leave any generations without my original starter. Hmm. Okay. Are you going to do mega? And Mega too, yeah, because, you So you can do the mega of bedzigan. Okay. They look cool, really cool, with their mega evolution form. Who else? I guess for the fifth one it would be Gouging fire because I'm not sure if you've seen this but that little guy is a meme in the VGC section The reason why it's a meme because of a person named zova fire and they posted a clip of gouging fire sweeping a team of six on its own except the I guess the The, what's his face here, the, the real joke of that clip was his name.
36:48 It's, practically named Gay Porn. Wait, what? Yeah! Yeah, like, you know, like, imagine your team being swept with no effort whatsoever by a gouging fire named Gay Porn. Oh, no that's, that's not all. It's also paired with a song that goes like, He's bouncing on my bootycheeks, I love it when he rides. I'm dying here. Oh my god.
