Speaker 2: You wanted to kill everyone who wasn't Ginger. Then that
Speaker 2: kid in the green hat told you something, and now
Speaker 2: you don't want to do it all of a sudden.
Speaker 2: What did he tell you? No, he was just telling
Speaker 2: me about something funny that happened at school yesterday.
Speaker 3: But anyway, Oh oh wow, I can't believe how great
Speaker 3: it feels to.
Speaker 4: Finally love my fellow man. Huh, isn't this great? You guys?
Speaker 3: We've sure been through a lot, but in the end,
Speaker 3: we all learned it's best to get along, hand in hand.
Speaker 4: We can live together. Ginger or night. We're all the same, black,
Speaker 4: old white bran ol red.
Speaker 2: We shouldn't kill each other because it's name kick Ash.
Speaker 4: Too. Going Down the South by the podcast where we
Speaker 4: always have ourselves a time, and this week we're going
Speaker 4: to be eradicating some gingers. I'm Dando and I am guy. Yes,
Speaker 4: we're a ginger kid. When I had hair, my hair
Speaker 4: was kind of light brown. But I am hair. I've
Speaker 4: never known you with hair, that's true. I mean, yeah,
Speaker 4: a lot of people do not. Do you have curly hair,
Speaker 4: you have straight hair. It was wavy, wavy hair. That
Speaker 4: was beautiful, Yeah, really was. But he's not work. That
Speaker 4: was a different kind of beautiful. Now I'm ruggly beautiful.
Speaker 1: Yeah, beautiff. What's that guy's name again.
Speaker 4: James James Blunt. Yeah, I'm gotta say, related to this.
Speaker 4: Even though I was never a ginger, I did relate.
Speaker 4: I was. This got me thinking about a pivotal photograph
Speaker 4: from my youth growing up in the long long ago,
Speaker 4: the nineteen seventies. I've mentioned my good friend, one of
Speaker 4: my best friends, certainly my best friend growing up. JP.
Speaker 1: You do it again, I'm going to I'm.
Speaker 4: I'm going to sound like I've got an inordinate crush
Speaker 4: of my friend JP here, But the best of my knowledge,
Speaker 4: he is not an aryan Nazi or anything like that.
Speaker 4: But JP blonde hair, blue eyes, be out in the
Speaker 4: sun for five minutes and just you know, had this
Speaker 4: beautiful tan. There's a picture of him and me when
Speaker 4: we're like six or seven years old at my house
Speaker 4: by the pool. Here he is looking like the epitome
Speaker 4: of Australian boyhood. Here's me, maybe a couple of inches shorter,
Speaker 4: squinting as I always did it when the you know,
Speaker 4: when the sun was in my eyes, pale as milk.
Speaker 1: And definition four k.
Speaker 4: It's pretty much progressive gen. We're ascessive gen. It's like
Speaker 4: my bo felt. I felt a kinship and an affinity
Speaker 4: for and respect from my ginger ginger brothers and sisters
Speaker 4: in this in this episode. I'm I remember this episode
Speaker 4: in some ways, but a lot of I didn't. Yeh
Speaker 4: found it abound it very very funny. But before we
Speaker 4: talk about that, shall we talk about some other things
Speaker 4: Parker and Stone related, particularly as it relates to my life.
Speaker 1: Yes, so I was talking about meat. So I celebrated
Speaker 1: my thirteenth anniversary a couple of days ago. But you
Speaker 1: celebrate your seventh anniversary.
Speaker 4: Seventh anniversary of the Lovely Luis.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and you went and watched a particular stage show
Speaker 1: we did.
Speaker 4: It was dinner on a show. Yeah, Lou and I
Speaker 4: went to Melbourne, had a fantastic steak dinner at seven Alfred,
Speaker 4: friend of the Pod, and then caught The Book of Mormon,
Speaker 4: which has returned to Melbourne for a new season. We
Speaker 4: got it before opening nine. I guess it was a preview.
Speaker 1: Oh wow, did you know much about the show before
Speaker 1: we went in?
Speaker 4: I was trying to go in as blindish as possible.
Speaker 4: I knew what it was about, but I didn't really
Speaker 4: know any of the songs, and I didn't know much
Speaker 4: of the story at all. Because I knew I wanted
Speaker 4: to see it one day and I wanted to get
Speaker 4: get dispress possible, and I'm glad I did because I
Speaker 4: found it just hilarious. I mean, it's how many times
Speaker 4: have we talked on this show about you know, Parkeringstone
Speaker 4: are clearly as musical theater Fisieronados, but also just kind
Speaker 4: of say masters of the form. But they're really really
Speaker 4: good at it. It's so good at it. The comic timing, Yeah, absolutely.
Speaker 4: I mean there's there's great sort of in your face,
Speaker 4: politically correct outrageous humor in this.
Speaker 1: Which when you go to a South Park the guys
Speaker 1: from the guys that created South Park have to have
Speaker 1: in their shows. You expecting it, aren't you.
Speaker 4: At the same Yeah, But at the same time, I mean,
Speaker 4: I don't think this was kind of like and there
Speaker 4: weren't old people at this, and there maybe were, but
Speaker 4: the way it's presented is, oh my god, that's confronting.
Speaker 4: But also it's like, yeah, but I don't think you're
Speaker 4: being cruel with it, and you just go along with it.
Speaker 4: But the songs are just fantastic. Yeah. I'm still humming
Speaker 4: them and singing them weeks later. So yeah, the book
Speaker 4: more than definitely worth checking out. I'm guessing the people
Speaker 4: who listen to going down to South Park are already
Speaker 4: well for me with it. You've seen it. I'm sure
Speaker 4: I saw it in London on the West End. Yeah,
Speaker 4: but this particular production, this Melbourne production, is Australian actors.
Speaker 4: All Australian actors can tell. Yeah, and they were great,
Speaker 4: I will say that. For me. Well, the two male
Speaker 4: leads playing Elder Price and Eldercut are fantastic. For me.
Speaker 4: The standard was the actor playing Elder McKinley. He sort
Speaker 4: of leads the is it turn it off or switch
Speaker 4: it off the song I can't remember turn it off,
Speaker 4: like let's switch fantastic song. But this guy is, yeah,
Speaker 4: absolute winner. So yeah, I had a great, great time,
Speaker 4: really enjoyed it. Yeah his name is Tom Strook, I believe,
Speaker 4: so yeah he was. He was great. Lou really enjoyed it.
Speaker 1: That's good.
Speaker 4: So yeah, a good time was had.
Speaker 1: I love it. Like Lou, this is what we're doing
Speaker 1: an anniversary. She's like, I don't really, I don't care.
Speaker 1: We're going to see the book a moment.
Speaker 4: I think Lou was just happy that I organized something.
Speaker 4: We're going here for dinner and we catch on the
Speaker 4: show and I've also booked the hotel. I saw.
Speaker 1: It's funny how they always organized our lives. I saw
Speaker 1: a funny meme this morning. It was Chunk is a
Speaker 1: Chunk from the Goonies? Yes, yes, and the what's the
Speaker 1: monster guy called sloth Sloth and he's like, you're gonna
Speaker 1: live with me now. It's like like, this is my
Speaker 1: wife meeting me. I'm going to take care of you now.
Speaker 1: Just what it is. It's like, you're gonna live with
Speaker 1: me now and I'm going to help you live organize
Speaker 1: your life make sure you eat, make sure you look
Speaker 1: after yourself, make sure you shave your back, to all
Speaker 1: your usual shit.
Speaker 4: But yeah, ginger kids.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so I like this, although at certain elements I'm
Speaker 1: watching this going I kind of feel like we've been there,
Speaker 1: done that with Passion to the Jew.
Speaker 4: There's a little bit of wheel spinning here. Absolutely. I
Speaker 4: mean I think they realize looks it's always gold when
Speaker 4: Cartman can be a hate monger. Is a very effective
Speaker 4: hate monger, isn't he at least he's not going to die. Yeah,
Speaker 4: but he does it so well. I mean, say what
Speaker 4: you like about Cartman. He's got a real, you know, knack,
Speaker 4: but I don't know, rabble rousing for getting crowds together
Speaker 4: and getting people behind his ideas and his movements.
Speaker 1: Well, he's very The character obviously is very quick on
Speaker 1: his feet. He's able to sort of see situation and go, Okay,
Speaker 1: this isn't going how I intended it. How can I
Speaker 1: divert it this way to make sure I get to
Speaker 1: my desired destination? Absolutely, which is what you see in
Speaker 1: the final act where like Kyle whispers in his ear
Speaker 1: and I did love here where the kid was like
Speaker 1: what the kids said here. It's like you said kill
Speaker 1: all and he said something to you and you say, no,
Speaker 1: kill them all.
Speaker 4: That's actually one of my favorite I don't want to
Speaker 4: jump ahead too much, but you just said like fifteen
Speaker 4: seconds ago, and it's great because so many movies will
Speaker 4: have that gun on the Yeah, well that will the
Speaker 4: kind of thing will go unacknowledged. You just said that
Speaker 4: fifteen seconds ago. You said this. What did you say? Sorry?
Speaker 4: Because coming, Oh my god, you guys, I just realized
Speaker 4: that we should all like live, we should live together
Speaker 4: in peace, hand and hand.
Speaker 1: Did you not? But yeah, it did kind of feel
Speaker 1: like I'm like, we've kind of been here and done that.
Speaker 1: But apparently they got the idea for this when they
Speaker 1: were in England parking Stone promoting the show and they
Speaker 1: saw a billboard and on the billboard it said only
Speaker 1: you can prevent ginger and had a picture of a
Speaker 1: ginger girl and like, what was that? What mooting?
Speaker 4: Like?
Speaker 1: Was it saying you can prevent being ginger? You can
Speaker 1: prevent I don't get it. Only you can prevent ginger? Wow? Anyway,
Speaker 1: the idea for that and they thought, well, see for me,
Speaker 1: I don't feel like in Australia, Ginger kids were picked
Speaker 1: on like. It was never something I experienced. Nicholas says
Speaker 1: that in the UK, if you were ginger, you got
Speaker 1: picked on a lot. I don't really remember ginger kids
Speaker 1: being picked on here.
Speaker 4: I only really remember one.
Speaker 1: I think they call them like a minger or something.
Speaker 4: Yeah, horrific, which is pretty much short age person as
Speaker 4: far as I can tell. I remember one redhead from
Speaker 4: my school and growing up. Oh yeah, and yeah, I
Speaker 4: mean I'm pretty sure that their redheaded status was made
Speaker 4: fun of.
Speaker 1: Okay, yeah, I was just a nice guy.
Speaker 4: It probably were. Yeah. It always struck me as kind
Speaker 4: of a weird thing to be poking fun at someone.
Speaker 1: For I always thought it was interesting that we called
Speaker 1: them redheads when their hair was orange. To me, I
Speaker 1: was always say, white, your hair's not red like the redhead.
Speaker 1: I'm like, but you're not read.
Speaker 4: It's more sort of copper colored or bronze colored or
Speaker 4: something like that. Yeah, I mean it's weird because I mean,
Speaker 4: I'm I'm like the Peanuts character Charlie Brown in many ways,
Speaker 4: you know, bawling no good at sport, and also have
Speaker 4: unrequired crushes on redhead girls. I always had crushes on redheads.
Speaker 4: When I was growing up.
Speaker 1: A brunette guy, always been brunettes. Throw a blonde at me,
Speaker 1: I'm like.
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, one's gonna kind of take or leave chats
Speaker 4: all the blondes out there. That goes half a demo
Speaker 4: bones like, don't worry, guys, we ain't gone for you.
Speaker 4: You were never in the rod. Yeah, but I think
Speaker 4: redheaded guys maybe had it a little harder. I think
Speaker 4: the other thing is that growing up in Australia, it's
Speaker 4: very much as I pointed out before, you know, you're
Speaker 4: kind of expected to look like JP. You you get
Speaker 4: out in the sun and it's like, oh yeah, you
Speaker 4: get a ten like you're a redhead, or you're pale
Speaker 4: like me, you get it. It's ah, it's people like
Speaker 4: you like you're like Linda Hamile at the start of
Speaker 4: that tea too.
Speaker 1: So the people like him. That's the president of what
Speaker 1: people think when they think of Australian. So it's like
Speaker 1: it's like Nikola goes to home, I'm married, No, I'm
Speaker 1: dating in Australia. They think it's going to be like
Speaker 1: you said, blonde, bombshell dude, you're bringing home Chris Hams. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I rock up and it's like, Ah, I thought you
Speaker 1: said it was Australian.
Speaker 4: You brought Noah Taylor shadows. So yeah, I mean I'm
Speaker 4: wondering if, if, and when that sort of it's weird. Yeah,
Speaker 4: like I said, with Australia, Yeah, you tend to think
Speaker 4: of that kind of stereotype. I mean, and certainly in
Speaker 4: my childhood here and teenage here, because yeah, when we
Speaker 4: went out in the sun, we weren't putting on sunscreen.
Speaker 4: We were putting on suntan lotion. We're putting on we
Speaker 4: were rubbing oil into our bodies to get more sun
Speaker 4: on us. We had fun doing it. I'm doing it.
Speaker 4: So I'm trying to remember if there were that many
Speaker 4: redheads around, and yeah, they weren't that many. And I
Speaker 4: don't think we're going ah ginger. Yeah, and we certainly
Speaker 4: were going you had no soul or anything like that.
Speaker 1: They also acknowledging the commentary that they wanted to make
Speaker 1: sure they did some research and there was some truth
Speaker 1: behind the theory of the genetics and whatnot. There wasn't
Speaker 1: just some outlandish South Park story which you can actually
Speaker 1: buy into it. Both ways, they explaining this and it's
Speaker 1: just like this comes across like just something South Park,
Speaker 1: which just make up, but it's actually kind of true.
Speaker 4: The recessive genes.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, because I learned this when we got
Speaker 1: our ginger cat. And apparently all cats start ginger and
Speaker 1: if they are missing a certain gene or something, then
Speaker 1: they hair doesn't change colors. Apparently all cats are ginger
Speaker 1: when they're first created. I could be wrong. This is
Speaker 1: what the pound told me. She's like, all cats are
Speaker 1: ginger until they're not. So if they if they're ginger,
Speaker 1: that means they didn't get and that's why ginger cats are.
Speaker 1: They say ginger cats are stupid because they don't have
Speaker 1: the extra chromosome or whatever that makes they're stupid. That's
Speaker 1: apparently a thing I didn't realize this. Look, apparently we're
Speaker 1: all we're all girls until we go a dick or something.
Speaker 4: Apparently, so yeah, we're we're all start off as we
Speaker 4: all start as female in the womb.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I was like ginger cats. Decades long mystery of
Speaker 1: ginger cats revealed. Okay, Garfield, Puss and Boots, aristocrats, cultural icons,
Speaker 1: maybe ginger most certainly and our scientists across two continents
Speaker 1: have uncovered the DNA mysteries that has given our fairy friends,
Speaker 1: particular males, their notable color.
Speaker 4: Shout out to this science reporter just trying to cultural
Speaker 4: really come up with like an interesting look to this
Speaker 4: very bland science story, and it's like, okay, what are
Speaker 4: ginger cats? A people like Puss in boots?
Speaker 1: Definitely Garfield, but he says, yeah, they discovered that ginger
Speaker 1: cats are missing a section of their genetic code, which
Speaker 1: means the sales responsible for their skin iron fur tone
Speaker 1: produced lighter colors. The breakthrough has brought delight to the
Speaker 1: scientists but also thousands of cat lovers that originally crowd
Speaker 1: funded the research.
Speaker 4: Was like, we need to know, this is vital informations.
Speaker 1: Government's like, we ain't funding this.
Speaker 4: Did you see on Twitter? You realize the planet's on fire? Yes?
Speaker 1: But the thing is so maybe I was maybe they're
Speaker 1: not old born ginger but that's why, because they're missing
Speaker 1: something and then they can't produce darker colors, which is
Speaker 1: why they ginger.
Speaker 4: I get the villain. This was probably, you know, pretty
Speaker 4: bad press for human gingers this episode. Oh yes, I
Speaker 4: get the feeling this may have done more harm than good.
Speaker 1: I'd be interested to see or to hear someone who's
Speaker 1: ginger who got red hairs thoughts on this episode and
Speaker 1: whether they felt attacked or not, because they never really
Speaker 1: said they portray him terribly and any reason in the
Speaker 1: end they don't. They try to get the message at
Speaker 1: the end, like the companies his song, but the song.
Speaker 1: The thing is, the song is done as a way
Speaker 1: for him to get out of trouble. It's not really
Speaker 1: like anyone's really learning the listen. I guess they kind
Speaker 1: of stand discussing it on the way over, like maybe
Speaker 1: we've been a bit mean to the ginger kids, we
Speaker 1: shouldn't really do that, blah blah blah blah. I guess
Speaker 1: they kind of put that there, but I just don't
Speaker 1: think it was really hammingd home enough.
Speaker 4: Oh no, No, they were the butt of the joke. Yeah,
Speaker 4: kids are terrible, and I'll always find ways to sort of, yeah,
Speaker 4: bully someone or at least divert bullying away from themselves.
Speaker 4: So if you can find some sort of marginalized group
Speaker 4: to poke fun at and yeah, as I said, the
Speaker 4: intention away from you, then you'll do it. And if
Speaker 4: it's ginger kids and it's ginger.
Speaker 1: Kids, do you have any favorite moments from the episode.
Speaker 4: Ah, I did like Cartman's report. I love how he
Speaker 4: sort of said we've all seen him on the street.
Speaker 4: It's like, yeah, he's back on Action News or whatever.
Speaker 4: But also his reactions whenever you know he's doing slide
Speaker 4: you know it's some and it's some stock photo of
Speaker 4: a ginger kit. Yeah, nasty. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I think it was like, oh ship.
Speaker 4: Yeah, but they were really good. The I forgot the
Speaker 4: name of the parents of.
Speaker 1: Her parents in my bit where it's just like they're
Speaker 1: all just.
Speaker 4: On the red handed raskers.
Speaker 1: Yeah, now got three of them.
Speaker 4: He comes up with that dreadful advice, you don't want
Speaker 4: ginger kids married Asian.
Speaker 1: Now, do you know what that's a reference to? What
Speaker 1: is it? Trey Parker. So, so when Stanley Kyle living in
Speaker 1: the Folly family's house, which is mister Foley the guy,
Speaker 1: he tells him to marry an Asian woman to avoid
Speaker 1: having ginger children. He says, I know a guy who's
Speaker 1: marrying a Japanese woman very soon for just that reason,
Speaker 1: to avoid it. This is an inside joke referred to
Speaker 1: Trey Parker, who at the time was engaged to a
Speaker 1: Japanese woman and he has apparently he has said I've
Speaker 1: read this somewhere. He has said that he found out
Speaker 1: that a woman he was dating had the Ginger genetic
Speaker 1: code in her past and he broke up with her.
Speaker 1: One of the reasons was because of that.
Speaker 4: But he said that publicly tray that man could be just.
Speaker 1: Like someone making it up because people to say shit
Speaker 1: as you say. But I read that, I was like,
Speaker 1: I wouldn't say that out loud. No, you certainly wouldn't. God, Trey,
Speaker 1: We've been pulling for you this whole time. But yeah,
Speaker 1: so that's that's what that was a reference to anyway.
Speaker 1: But also the day Walker. Oh yeah, that's from Blade.
Speaker 1: That's from Blade. As the day Walker, he can he
Speaker 1: don't get attacked by the sun. Correct, he's a vampire
Speaker 1: and a son something else joined was tight here. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Parker once said he had a girlfriend whose mother had
Speaker 1: red hair, and he ended the relationship to avoid having
Speaker 1: red headed children, and even admitted to harboring what he
Speaker 1: described as racial prejudice against Gingers. When did this.
Speaker 4: Episode there because this is just yeah, them being Shitstirs
Speaker 4: two thousand and five. They're a little bit beyond their
Speaker 4: early sort of young Turk stage interesting.
Speaker 1: But ginger people though, mustn't like this episode. I just
Speaker 1: discovered an entire section on the wiki page I'll just
Speaker 1: talking to You that I didn't realize was there. So
Speaker 1: the ginger kids. This episode supposedly inspired I've Never heard
Speaker 1: of this the infamous national Kicker Ginger Day event, of
Speaker 1: which three incidents involving the event and the episode gained notoriety.
Speaker 1: The event started out as a Facebook group or event
Speaker 1: in two thousand and eight with a target date of
Speaker 1: November twentieth, and attracted members from Canada and the United States,
Speaker 1: eventually extending as far as the United Kingdom and Ireland.
Speaker 1: In line with the starting date, the first incidents of
Speaker 1: Kicking Ginger Day took place on the same date in
Speaker 1: the same year across Canada and the United States. Several
Speaker 1: students were hair were assaulted by students. A police spokesman
Speaker 1: for the Royal Canadian Mountain Police and incident as a
Speaker 1: subitious hate crime.
Speaker 4: Yeah, of course, if you're targeting someone for a particular reason,
Speaker 4: that's a hate crime.
Speaker 1: And twenty ten, YouTuber Michael Control, also known as Copper Cab,
Speaker 1: uploaded a video referring to the episode title Gingers Do
Speaker 1: have Souls that went viral. South Park later parodied the
Speaker 1: video in their promotion for season fourteen. A second kick
Speaker 1: of Ginger Day incident happened in twenty thirteen at Wingfield
Speaker 1: Academy in Yorkshire, where redheaded students faced discrimination based on
Speaker 1: their hair colored. Parents of the discriminated students launched a
Speaker 1: Facebook group protesting the offending students in an attempt to
Speaker 1: end their bullying. Many parents were enraged by the incident,
Speaker 1: resulting in some of them fetching their children during the
Speaker 1: school hours out of fear of them being potential targets
Speaker 1: for assault. School staff strongly reprimanded the offending students. A
Speaker 1: school spokesperson declared the incident's deplorable acts said that the
Speaker 1: entire institution was warn that students who continued to perform
Speaker 1: such a discrimination based on the episode would also be punished.
Speaker 1: The third incident happened in Massachusetts in twenty fifteen, where
Speaker 1: students with red hair also suffered the same fate, with
Speaker 1: some injured and bleeding. Disciplinary disciplinary hearings and tolerance seminars
Speaker 1: were conducted. Singer ed Sheering claims in a joke in
Speaker 1: joke form. The episode was the start of noticeable discrimination
Speaker 1: against redhead headed people in America, despite people with ginger
Speaker 1: hair being made fun of for decades prior to this. Wow, So.
Speaker 4: Okay, Yeah, I chogked this up as an l for
Speaker 4: Parker and this ain't great basically, cartmen, they're not going
Speaker 4: out there but tacitly inciting, viable.
Speaker 1: But that's that's the thing. As we're touching on earlier,
Speaker 1: they don't make it obvious enough in the episode that
Speaker 1: this shouldn't be happening. You shouldn't be treating gingers this way.
Speaker 1: Carman only did it because he didn't want to get passed.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I get the feeling that there's me playing devil's
Speaker 4: advocate for Parker and Stone in this regard is like
Speaker 4: they viewed it as so ridiculous. Yeah that look, no
Speaker 4: one's going to take this and run with it. Can
Speaker 4: you really blame Parker and Stone for this happening? I
Speaker 4: don't think they're entirely blameless.
Speaker 1: But they made it. They made it hating on gingers funny,
Speaker 1: I guess yes. And we've got park on the Stone also,
Speaker 1: and they'd be well aware of this. They have sway
Speaker 1: over that they're one of the biggest pop culture ar
Speaker 1: You've got.
Speaker 4: So many people on social media and traditional media saying
Speaker 4: we're at where we're at now because of Parker and
Speaker 4: Stone sort of what aboudism. Yeah, they made it cool
Speaker 4: to be sort of apathetic or you know, oh no,
Speaker 4: we've got to see both sides. Well that's you know,
Speaker 4: that leads to you know who in the White House
Speaker 4: or whatever. I'm not sure I necessarily believe that, but yeah,
Speaker 4: you've got a lot of people who do think that.
Speaker 1: So any other moments for you before we get to trivia.
Speaker 4: Look, I enjoyed that they actually did a protest of
Speaker 4: the anti musical and then ripped the wig off the
Speaker 4: young complaining it there she is dinner. They really went
Speaker 4: to town on it. Yeah, just god, just kicking the ship
Speaker 4: out of it. Thought that was pretty funny. And as
Speaker 4: I mentioned before, you just said they should all die
Speaker 4: fifteen seconds ago. Very funny.
Speaker 1: I mentioned the post so when they first did the
Speaker 1: news report on the new groups, like.
Speaker 4: That's okay.
Speaker 2: Remember there are no stupid questions, just stupid people.
Speaker 4: All right.
Speaker 1: My first tribute question for you. I didn't mention it
Speaker 1: in my favorite Moments, but it could have been. It
Speaker 1: would have spoiled it is. What is the name of
Speaker 1: the guy who interrupts the meetings?
Speaker 4: It's Gary Nelson.
Speaker 1: He's the I thought I had Nolan, Sorry Nelson, is
Speaker 1: it okay? I thought it was Nelson. Gary anyway, certainly Gary.
Speaker 4: Yeah, the rep from the Hilton guest relations.
Speaker 1: What a good guy, just does his job.
Speaker 4: Well you didn't he lava anyway? You will laugh. Hey, guys,
Speaker 4: thanks for choosing Hilton. I just love the cars, just like,
Speaker 4: thank you alone. Oh no, I could have it could
Speaker 4: have been Gary Nolan or Gary Nelson either way. That's
Speaker 4: just the perfect name for like an HR guide at
Speaker 4: a mid range hotel. Yeah, the guy you know running
Speaker 4: customer relations at the Novtael down on the waterfront here
Speaker 4: in Gelong with the Sherrat and whatever it is now, like, hey,
Speaker 4: Gary Nelson from guess Relations everything around, got a thing. Hey,
Speaker 4: look just give me call.
Speaker 1: You anything, yea.
Speaker 4: And then then he just goes yes, leaves. Yeah, good
Speaker 4: on him. Yeah, but the name.
Speaker 1: Is perfect, Yeah, Gary Nolan Nelson whatever, Yeah, perfect, Thanks Harry. Yes,
Speaker 1: I you've spot one of my other questions. It was

Speaker 4: H yeah, I think Avatar is probably gonna be holding on.
Speaker 1: How was Avatar up to one? Four months? At least weeks? Right,
Speaker 1: I'd say weeks? Yeah, it was by two thousand and five.
Speaker 1: What was the longest number one film of all time?
Speaker 1: Can you it was?
Speaker 4: It was probably boy Jim Cameron's Titanic?
Speaker 1: Titanic? Yeah, Titanic was big, wasn't it.
Speaker 4: Yeah, like apparently Titanic stayed in cinemas for like eighteen months.
Speaker 1: Really, yeah, a different time.
Speaker 4: One might say a bitter time.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I wouldn't. I would agree with you. So number
Speaker 1: one was oh have a time, mustn't ever time must
Speaker 1: be the SIMS episode because it's twenty ten and five. Yes,

Speaker 1: number one.
Speaker 4: Was Chicken Little.
Speaker 1: Oh, Chicken Little was number one at the box office.
Speaker 1: I've never watched Chicken I always looked at it and going,
Speaker 1: I have no interest in watching this.
Speaker 4: I remember hating it, okay, yeah, Chicken Little, Yeah, because
Speaker 4: I was reviewing at the time and had to go
Speaker 4: see everything, and it's like, yeah, Chicken Little sucked. It's terrible.
Speaker 4: It was voiced by Zach Braff. Oh yes, star of
Speaker 4: Scrubs and now upcoming Scrubs rebootes, which I don't think
Speaker 4: i'm going to watch. I feel i've missed a window
Speaker 4: for the Scrubs reboot. I think they have. I think
Speaker 4: they had a trailer for it, and it was I
Speaker 4: don't know if they were being sort of like deliberately,
Speaker 4: hey we're playing the hits, but you know, they sort
Speaker 4: of dragged out, Hey it's john C McGinley, and hey
Speaker 4: it's Judy Rays and she was the thing. I remember
Speaker 4: he used to call him Bambi and you know, and
Speaker 4: this is the way Johnny C would sort of say
Speaker 4: particular lines, Okay, yeah, you're just doing this to Are
Speaker 4: you doing this because oh that's feelings or it's because like,
Speaker 4: oh yeah, we know that we're going through the motions.
Speaker 4: I don't know either way, I didn't I really liked
Speaker 4: Scrubs back in the day. I don't think I'm going
Speaker 4: to enjoy it as much now.
Speaker 1: Scrubs is one of those shows I would have been
Speaker 1: high school mid to year nine ish was when it
Speaker 1: was really at its peak. I think like for scrub scores,
Speaker 1: like two thousand and one when it started about then,
Speaker 1: I think so yeah. I remember like being like year
Speaker 1: like ten eleven, twelve, and everyone's talking about like scrubs
Speaker 1: are so funny, dada YadA. But then it just sort
Speaker 1: of disappeared, like it felt like it was a everyone's
Speaker 1: talking about Scrubs for like a while, and even just nobody.
Speaker 4: I don't want to say it was a flash in
Speaker 4: the pan, but it was kind of like it had
Speaker 4: it had its run, it's done, and you'll occasionally go
Speaker 4: oy that was that wasn't too bad, that's pretty good.
Speaker 1: I haven't revisited for a long time.
Speaker 4: I don't necessarily feel bad for Zach Braff, but again,
Speaker 4: the feeling is kind of like people like ragging on
Speaker 4: him for some reason. You're like, I don't know, it
Speaker 4: was a while, there, wasn't it. Yeah, you made that
Speaker 4: movie Garden State, which everyone kind of like, that's so
Speaker 4: no it Netlie Portman, Who's what I We've discussed this
Speaker 4: on the podcast before. I've never seen Garden Stage Car
Speaker 4: and let me tell you, yeah yeah, but I remember
Speaker 4: seeing the poster for that movie and like the video
Speaker 4: the video store, and I always thought it was Debora
Speaker 4: Messing because she's like screaming, isn't she crying on the
Speaker 4: And for some reason, I always thought it was Deborah
Speaker 4: Messing from Willing Grace obviously, but I was put me
Speaker 4: in and never you told me. I was like, Oh shit, is.
Speaker 1: Not watching different Messing in a movie. That's one of
Speaker 1: the reasons why I never bothered to watch it. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but it's not worth watching.
Speaker 4: I think it's actually not that bad. It's very sort
Speaker 4: of that he directed or she did. Yeah, if he
Speaker 4: wrote and directed it, it's actually pretty well done. But
Speaker 4: it's very sort of this is the ultimate millennial movie.
Speaker 4: That's kind of like, uh, the music choices are very pandering.
Speaker 4: It's like, oh, we can see who you're really influenced
Speaker 4: by and all that kind of stuff. Feel I think
Speaker 4: it was his first movie, and it feels very first movie,
Speaker 4: and people are just not being very generous towards it.
Speaker 1: Okay, it's not bad. I'll check it out. But this
Speaker 1: episode kicks off though, with Token giving his report on
Speaker 1: the Solar system. Now talk about dated. Pluto no longer
Speaker 1: a planet apparently, so although it makes me pleas we'll
Speaker 1: go back and forth. Plute's always going to be a
Speaker 1: planet to me.
Speaker 4: Yeah. Likewise, I just decide and that's not a planet anymore.
Speaker 4: But I'm sorry, I'm sorry. Also, who's determined? Is it NASA?
Speaker 4: Because I mean NASA is only the North American Space Agency?
Speaker 4: So is alliot talk?
Speaker 1: Now there's only eight planets? Is that the go?
Speaker 4: Now?
Speaker 1: What's the go? I'll ask elling it? Yeah? What is Pluto?
Speaker 4: As also asked Cary pronouncer uranus? Whether it's uranus or
Speaker 4: urinus or uranus?

Speaker 1: dot com Slash four figure discout. But then he calls
Speaker 1: mister Gabson called missus. Gabson calls up cartmen and he says,
Speaker 1: ginger kids, children of light skin, red hair and freckles,
Speaker 1: that's what it's called. He shows various pictures of kids
Speaker 1: with red hair. They're all gross.
Speaker 4: They creep us out and make us feel sick to ourstemic.
Speaker 1: Yes, and again I touched it on last week's episode.
Speaker 1: Cart they're really leaning into that kind of the way
Speaker 1: he expresses himself. Now is this everything's like this like
Speaker 1: a conspiracy theorist of everything the way it sounds. But
Speaker 1: they suffer from ginger vitis and it occurs when because
Speaker 1: ginger kids have no soul apparently, and Kyle starting to
Speaker 1: get annoyed by this because Kyle has red hair and
Speaker 1: Parker's stone. We're like, okay, well, we've already established Kyle
Speaker 1: has red hair. How can we differentiate him from the
Speaker 1: ginger kids that we wanted to make fun of in
Speaker 1: this episode, And that's what we said the day Walker,
Speaker 1: which I watched this going guy will appreciate this blade reference.
Speaker 4: But also I liked how Karma's not disputing hate exactually
Speaker 4: like trying to bring logic into It's.
Speaker 1: Like it spewing facts.
Speaker 4: No one like vampires, And it was like, oh, oh,
Speaker 4: wait a minute, yea, I see the connection.
Speaker 1: And they straight away they'll explain at Kyle's the day
Speaker 1: Walk he can actually go outside in the sun. And
Speaker 1: then he asks Cartman asked for the Garrison or missus
Speaker 1: Garrison to tell Kyle to stop it, and he says,
Speaker 1: well you can. He's like, I'm not going to stop
Speaker 1: it because this is a hate speech, and he says, look,
Speaker 1: you can use your paper tomorrow to counteract and debate
Speaker 1: with Cartman. I'd hear that. He goes people are crept
Speaker 1: out by redheads and Claus's like, I am yeah, but
Speaker 1: this is what Cartman explains that the ginger jeene is
Speaker 1: a curse and says that you know, you need to
Speaker 1: admit themselves that they're vile and they're disgusting. So now
Speaker 1: after class, Kyle is telling Stan this this can all
Speaker 1: lead to some serious trouble yourself. Spratt and allays kind
Speaker 1: of shot out there. People start genuinely hating ginger people
Speaker 1: and he needs to disprove it. And he asks stand
Speaker 1: if he knows any ginger kids, and it's just the
Speaker 1: Foley family. So he goes to see the Holey family.
Speaker 1: And what's funny is I'm watching this and I'm like,
Speaker 1: relitialy had a kid whose last time was Folly at school,
Speaker 1: who was the redhead of the year. Level as Folly
Speaker 1: luck links to redheads, I don't know if it was
Speaker 1: just a weird thing. He goes to the house to
Speaker 1: interview the parents about the having ginger kids.
Speaker 2: We came to learn the facts about people with red hair,
Speaker 2: light skin.
Speaker 4: And freckles.
Speaker 1: Oh gingers.
Speaker 4: Yes, our cute little red haired rascals.
Speaker 2: I'm sorry, but I don't understand.
Speaker 4: You both have dark hair and brown eyes. Yes, we've
Speaker 4: learned that the ginger jeene is recessive in both our families. DNA. Actually,
Speaker 4: the odds of us having a red haired, freckled child
Speaker 4: were only one in four and still it happened three times.
Speaker 4: What are the odds? A lot of people carry the
Speaker 4: ginger jean and don't know. If your spouse is also
Speaker 4: a carrier, then your children can turn out like them.
Speaker 4: Each one of them is a blessing. Oh yes, each
Speaker 4: one of them's a blessing, blessed blessing.
Speaker 2: For the lab.
Speaker 1: As cruel as it was, it was hilarious, just their
Speaker 1: way of trying to hide their shame, because you could
Speaker 1: say their disappointment.
Speaker 4: I don't know if it's a feature or a bug
Speaker 4: of this episode that they present the redhead kids as
Speaker 4: like little sort of scary monsters, like yeah, out of
Speaker 4: Salem's Lot or Village of the Damned or something like that.
Speaker 4: A little later on there of the Corn. Yeah, when
Speaker 4: they're well, yeah, one of the main villains in Children
Speaker 4: of the Corn is the red head.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 4: It's like whether everyone in town is like aware of like, oh, no,
Speaker 4: they actually are monsters or if this this Dad's just
Speaker 4: like I have wanted blonde blue a children that I've
Speaker 4: got three red heads, all who seem perfectly nice. They
Speaker 4: seem like great kids, and he's like, no, one are
Speaker 4: the odds one of the three of them.
Speaker 1: This is where they have the dad explain the whole
Speaker 1: because when it's coming from Cartman, you're not believing it,
Speaker 1: But when it's from the parents of the child, it's like, no,
Speaker 1: they're having We both have the ginger genetic code in
Speaker 1: our family and we've passed it down even though we've
Speaker 1: got brown hair. Because sometimes I would find that odd.
Speaker 1: I'll be going, hell, why is that kid a school
Speaker 1: got red hair but his mum and dad aren't red heads?
Speaker 1: It doesn't make any sense to me. But yeah, it's
Speaker 1: obviously someone in the family has got red head. Drinking
Speaker 1: Network explains why why Prince Harry's got red hair? Drenk
Speaker 1: dad explains.
Speaker 4: That that's true. Yeah, oh, for goodness knows how long.
Speaker 4: I mean, was it James Hewson or James Houston or
Speaker 4: whatever who was like the one the Princess Dies Buddies
Speaker 4: or something, Why that looks like Prince Harry. Yeah. Yeah.
Speaker 4: But then you look at you know, the late Princess
Speaker 4: Dies brother, Charles Spencer, and he kind of I think
Speaker 4: he looks a little gingerish as well. But Nichol used
Speaker 4: to always deny it, right because she's like, she love
Speaker 4: the Royal family, and I'm like, look at this picture here.
Speaker 1: She looked at it.
Speaker 4: She went, yeah, but you look at you look at
Speaker 4: It's not just the hair, it's also Yeah.
Speaker 1: Anyway, I wonder if.
Speaker 4: There was a whole bunch of shit sort of going
Speaker 4: on in the Royal family where it was like, Harry,
Speaker 4: I love you, you know you're not one of them,
Speaker 4: and he was the sort of sideline even suddenly or whatever,
Speaker 4: and that's what made him go, fine, I'm going to
Speaker 4: marry that chick from suits and I'm gonna I'm gonna
Speaker 4: move to California, get a I was listening to some
Speaker 4: podcasts the other day, and so it's really ironic because
Speaker 4: he was. He was like the one who was really
Speaker 4: good at being a prince. He was like a good
Speaker 4: ambassador to the royal family. Who doesn't like Harry? I mean,
Speaker 4: before all this stuff, I mean, he was generally regarded
Speaker 4: as like he was like the cool one. I mean,
Speaker 4: not not well.
Speaker 1: He even seems like a guy that you didn't couldn't trust,
Speaker 1: couldn't tallenge it because on you that's what he seemed
Speaker 1: like to me.
Speaker 4: Well, he seemed like the traditional sort of older brother first,
Speaker 4: and I was like, well, it's my turn to now
Speaker 4: take over the family business. I can't do anything wrong.
Speaker 4: But also I'm the golden buy the book. You look
Speaker 4: at young Williams, like, that's a good looking kid. He
Speaker 4: looking now, I was like, but Harry kind of seemed like, oh,
Speaker 4: he had his causes and all that. You know, he
Speaker 4: generally seemed like, oh, I'm here to present this or whatever,
Speaker 4: and oh, you're doing really well with that. He was
Speaker 4: really good at being a prince and now he's not.
Speaker 4: Now he's just some guy a prince anymore. No, that's
Speaker 4: what I mean. And it's like, so, what are you
Speaker 4: going to do? Are he surely they didn't cut him
Speaker 4: off financially did they I don't know. Yeah, who knows anyway?
Speaker 4: Why they going to get like a Netflix show or
Speaker 4: something they well, yeah, apparently all their ideas were terrible.
Speaker 4: Did you ever watch Megan Markles Netflix show.
Speaker 1: I didn't know it even came out.
Speaker 4: It's called With Love from Megan or something, and it's
Speaker 4: basically like a Martha Stewart's kind of he's home decorating
Speaker 4: and here's some food. Lou I like watched one episode
Speaker 4: when I was like, the fuck is this? It was
Speaker 4: so bad? Really? What I mean? I don't mind those
Speaker 4: shows on occasions like oh, that's a.
Speaker 1: Handy tip Better Homes and Gardens that I loved that
Speaker 1: seven thirty on a Tuesday.
Speaker 4: Yeah, man, get some good tips for a game into
Speaker 4: the weekend.
Speaker 1: What was the was the theme song for Better Homes
Speaker 1: and Gardens? Wasn't it Our House?
Speaker 4: Maybe?
Speaker 1: No? Which show had in the middle of Our Street?
Speaker 4: House?
Speaker 1: Which? Which which show used that as its theme? Hmmm?
Speaker 1: Do you remember?
Speaker 4: Well?
Speaker 1: It was a block actually called actually better Homes and Guards.
Speaker 4: You know what? They had getting so much better all
Speaker 4: the time?
Speaker 1: That was their theme. Yeah, I'm sure the people.
Speaker 4: Who enjoy South Park are really enjoying this part of it.
Speaker 4: We now return you to ginger kids already improv.
Speaker 1: This is where Kyle says that, well, surely you know
Speaker 1: it's not true that these kids have no souls. No,
Speaker 1: of course they do. And he tells them that the
Speaker 1: doors are about to leave to as we said that
Speaker 1: discussing only Marion Asian because they don't carry the recessive gene.
Speaker 1: And this is yeah, you know someone that's marrying a
Speaker 1: Japanese one for that reason. And that was a reference
Speaker 1: to Trey Parker apparently, and I was like, oh, boy, ship,
Speaker 1: we're out of school. And Kyle explains that it's genetic
Speaker 1: and it's not a lack of soul, and Cartlin's like,
Speaker 1: whatever you say, Kyle, and Garrison says, I love this. Well,
Speaker 1: I can't a little dry and science for my team's been.
Speaker 4: But then yeah, Cartman just goes into full rebel rousing mode.
Speaker 4: You realize that he's picked up on that. I think, like,
Speaker 4: people aren't interested in the You can you can give
Speaker 4: us facts and figures all day long, but yeah, what's going.
Speaker 1: To be more aptus?
Speaker 4: Yeah, what's more effective is is going to get.
Speaker 1: You're going to get you.
Speaker 4: And I love that pays off later. But the thing is,
Speaker 4: I like here too.
Speaker 1: Before they go to recess, he says, Clyde's going to
Speaker 1: be doing his after recess, and what was his paper about?
Speaker 1: Can you remember? Oh no, Well, lesbian.
Speaker 4: Cheerleaders love Clyde Loki freak.
Speaker 1: Isn't he.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's like the baby they'd.
Speaker 1: Be a good pair. But I just love that telling
Speaker 1: the kids that Kyle the day Walker, and he says
Speaker 1: things like, you know, just kill Jesus. But what I know,
Speaker 1: I under see what everyone's thinking. Under see what everyone's thinking.
Speaker 1: Where did we go? It was the fucking pop culture convention,
Speaker 1: wasn't it. We're walking in the guys like, I'm just
Speaker 1: saying what everyone thinks. Is that what he's saying?
Speaker 4: I think, oh that's right when we went that time.
Speaker 1: Yeah, he was a guy in the car park. He
Speaker 1: was just saying racist ship. But what did it was?
Speaker 4: I don't know if we actually heard him say anything
Speaker 4: particularly raised, but he really won't, but we definitely heard
Speaker 4: him say I'm just I'm just saying what everybody's thinking.
Speaker 1: I'm just I tell you how it is.
Speaker 4: Yeah, we all have people who tell it like it is. Yes,
Speaker 4: that's it yes, and the Gingers.
Speaker 1: Are gonna catch up, and then the again because their
Speaker 1: kids are like well ship and the kids then kick
Speaker 1: the Ginger kids out from the cafeteria because they're starting
Speaker 1: to be influenced by Cartman's hate. Here and Kyle says,
Speaker 1: this is what happens when Cartman's right, when Cartman's write
Speaker 1: to free speech is allowed, and Standing wishes Cartman knew
Speaker 1: what it was like to be ginger. So Kyle gets
Speaker 1: an idea. Just the meet at his house tonight. So
Speaker 1: Cartman is sleeping, Kyle gets a chance to knock him
Speaker 1: out good and proper, keeps hitting him and then they
Speaker 1: dye his hair and bleach him. We must talk about
Speaker 1: Cartman's design. I'm mentioned in the in the Patregon group.
Speaker 1: He designs a ginger was fucking hilenious. Yea, holy Christ,
Speaker 1: it was that funny, just the.
Speaker 4: Haircut, just that bowl guts and oh my god, it
Speaker 4: was so funny.
Speaker 1: So he wakes up in his ginger screams, his MoMA
Speaker 1: screams are taking to the doctor. He's now suffering from
Speaker 1: ginger bis. And then she said it other doctors must
Speaker 1: have stayed dormant until adolescence and he tells Leanne, my
Speaker 1: mom loves me. There is no cure. You may as
Speaker 1: well put him down. My mom loves me no matter
Speaker 1: what to look like, right mom, And he says that
Speaker 1: son is going to be his worst enemy. Now I
Speaker 1: wren't here. When he arrives at the bus stop, how cool,
Speaker 1: he tries to play it like you can imagine Cartman
Speaker 1: a character he's going into, going how do I approach this?
Speaker 1: I know I look like a dickhead now after everything
Speaker 1: else said, I'll just play it off like nothing's wrong,
Speaker 1: Rock up with my umbrella. And then he almost tries.
Speaker 1: It's almost like he is trying to put it back
Speaker 1: on them. Is it to say do you have something? Yes?
Speaker 1: But they take great glee and they're like, oh, it's
Speaker 1: pretty ironic. Is He's like, no, anything gets on the bus?
Speaker 1: And I think it was important they had the character
Speaker 1: of Butters be the one to laugh at him, because
Speaker 1: Butter's is always the not in the butt of the jokes,
Speaker 1: but Cartman's jokes correct and he thinks it's hilarious that
Speaker 1: Cartman is a ginger now as well. The boys then
Speaker 1: tell Carmen that he has to leave the cafeteria and
Speaker 1: but it's me. I'm still mean signs where they're thinking that.
Speaker 1: Cartman's starting to realize, Oh, it's not what's that's on
Speaker 1: the count's what's on the inside the counts Carl. Thanks,
Speaker 1: you know we've taught him a lesson here. Now you
Speaker 1: have a good, hard, long think about how he's been
Speaker 1: behaving to watch Ginger people cut to him. He's called
Speaker 1: a meeting of the Gingers in the library. He's sick
Speaker 1: of being discriminated against. My dad says, each one of
Speaker 1: my freakers is.
Speaker 4: A kiss from an agel.
Speaker 1: Cartman thinks that any he says, can we think of
Speaker 1: any great Ginger people? Your man man Ron Howard? It indeed,
Speaker 1: I love the money. Yes, who else? Ron Howard? And
Speaker 1: then they need to let everyone know that they're not inferior.
Speaker 1: There's time to take back their pride.
Speaker 4: How right, how right?
Speaker 3: Time, right power, We can get our prid people. We
Speaker 3: are another descendant of great Americans like Ron Holen, and
Speaker 3: we will not being discriminated against any er. But we
Speaker 3: are a great rate.
Speaker 4: Right when.
Speaker 2: I don't believe it, should we tell him the truth?
Speaker 4: Now?
Speaker 2: I let him make a complete ass of himself for
Speaker 2: a little while Longer, better Aday, better ring.
Speaker 4: Day, better Day.
Speaker 1: Then the Ginger separatist movement has begun. It's a new
Speaker 1: story about it, and they're all outraged at the is
Speaker 1: it the premiere episode or the premiere show of any
Speaker 1: opening of Annie who was being played by a girl
Speaker 1: who was not Ginger. She's wearing a wig and makeup
Speaker 1: to appear Ginger and they are furious about this.
Speaker 4: So what do they do? They kick the crap, kick
Speaker 4: the shit out of it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it is get her and says the first man
Speaker 1: is going to be at the Hilton. So Cat Elvin
Speaker 1: walks in, Can I get a red power?
Speaker 4: Like I said, he's just really good at yeah, leading groups. Yeah,
Speaker 4: he could use this power for good, but no, he's
Speaker 4: just sort of hooked on the hooked on evil.
Speaker 1: I do. This is where I had in my note,
Speaker 1: so that it kind of feels like we've done this
Speaker 1: before a couple of times. But he says, we have
Speaker 1: to fight hate with hate, and the Gingers are the
Speaker 1: chosen race.
Speaker 4: Well here's the thing. I mean. It could also be
Speaker 4: sort of Parker and Stones or Parker's uh sort of
Speaker 4: escape patch, Like we've done this before and you saw
Speaker 4: how ridiculous was when Cartman was a Nazi. I mean,
Speaker 4: this is on the nose and this has got to
Speaker 4: be eagerly ridiculous, right that he's, you know, for one
Speaker 4: of a be able to ginning up all this hatred
Speaker 4: against redheads.
Speaker 1: And how easy people are swayed. Yes, but yes, so
Speaker 1: he says the chosen race and the low life, low life,
Speaker 1: dark skinned rats they are. And I was like they
Speaker 1: wanted to sneak that line in somewhere. Yeah, the low life,
Speaker 1: dark skin rats. But then Gary Nelson or Gary I've
Speaker 1: got Gary Nelson here, you're right, Gary Nelson. Yeah, he
Speaker 1: arrives from guest relations, and it's just like the exterminating
Speaker 1: an entire race of people. Can I get you anything?
Speaker 1: You see anything?
Speaker 4: We're fine, thank you.
Speaker 1: So you gotta think, though, they've got to be like
Speaker 1: these places like the Hilton and whatnot who are hosting
Speaker 1: meetings for like the n r A or these kind
Speaker 1: of groups, And you think do they just not take
Speaker 1: the booking or do they take that cash? And an
Speaker 1: you think, do I want to interrupt meeting? Like there
Speaker 1: must be someone who's like Gary Nels. Gary Nelson's of
Speaker 1: the world must have to deal with this kind of back.
Speaker 4: Yeah, we're just like, we're not endorsing this. Yeah, all right,
Speaker 4: we're just you know, but you know, did any competent
Speaker 4: it's in the States, it'd be like, well, you know,
Speaker 4: the First Amendment, everyone's got the right free speech. So
Speaker 4: we're just providing them with a venue, and what they
Speaker 4: say is up to them.
Speaker 1: He said, it's time to exterminate every kid who isn't
Speaker 1: a Ginger and they won't live their life as a
Speaker 1: minority anymore. But then Kyle wakes up Stan and say
Speaker 1: they're going to change him back. Now stand amidst that,
Speaker 1: you know, yet as they're walking back to middle of
Speaker 1: the night, they're walking back to Cartman's house, are going
Speaker 1: to fix him up? And as where stand, this is,
Speaker 1: I guess is the kind of their way of saying, Look,
Speaker 1: you shouldn't treat gingers as way. So even I have
Speaker 1: my own prejudice against Gingers. I mean, Carmen, even have
Speaker 1: you thinking that Gingers we're like gonna get us in
Speaker 1: the middle of the night. I was like, oh shit,
Speaker 1: it's gonna happen. And they cut and there's something about silence,
Speaker 1: Oh like someone just looking at you. I would rather
Speaker 1: someone say I'm coming to get you than just looking
Speaker 1: at me. Oh god, Yeah, terrifying, something like the blas
Speaker 1: like the mentality of just walking towards Jesson Wall, just
Speaker 1: walking towards not saying anything. Yeah, what what do you want?
Speaker 4: What do you want?
Speaker 1: Nothing? Just soulless.
Speaker 4: Just the spookier shit in Halloween is you know, Michael
Speaker 4: mar just staring at you from various places, like, oh
Speaker 4: my god, what's going on? Yeah? How many times I
Speaker 4: told the story about being a young man in the
Speaker 4: kid when I was England, kid looking at me through
Speaker 4: the window. I'm like, what the fuck?
Speaker 1: But it wasn't you said there's a kid in the
Speaker 1: garden once lived next door or something. You had like
Speaker 1: a bed and breakfast or something, and there was a
Speaker 1: kid who was like you're like in the bushes playing
Speaker 1: or something.
Speaker 4: It was like a kid who like, that's that story
Speaker 4: you used to say.
Speaker 1: It's from the window. I thought you.
Speaker 4: I thought he saw you. No, No, no, he was inside.
Speaker 4: I was playing outside.
Speaker 1: Oh I thought he was outside as well. Are you
Speaker 1: running away from him?
Speaker 4: No? No?
Speaker 1: Oh okay, yeah, just the idea of someone is staring
Speaker 1: at you. Yeah, these ginger kids, obviously it would you
Speaker 1: call this like a zombie parody here.
Speaker 4: More just like creepy kids movie, and there's a there's
Speaker 4: a long and story condition of it.
Speaker 1: I mean the top three you mentioned before. So we
Speaker 1: mentioned Village of the Dance, which was we know that
Speaker 1: was a simple there's been Oh your secret to you?
Speaker 4: You're the one who's been sneaking puddings. Oh god, damn,
Speaker 4: I got me. Yeah. Village of the Damned and it's sequel,
Speaker 4: Children of the Damned, is certainly one. I was reminded
Speaker 4: Salem's Lot a bit. You know, particularly have you ever
Speaker 4: seen the original TV one from the nineteen seventies, you
Speaker 4: would remember the image of like there's a little vampire
Speaker 4: kids sort of floating outside the window and he's got
Speaker 4: parody that yeah, vampire face, and it was scraping at
Speaker 4: the window.
Speaker 1: Terrifying, Yeah, terrifying. I never saw Children of the Corn,
Speaker 1: but it was one of those ones at the video store.
Speaker 1: I was like, when I'm growing up, I'm gonna.
Speaker 4: Watch this movie. It's a cool, cool fucking titled Children
Speaker 4: of the Corn. It is and is big one of these.
Speaker 1: It's a sickle sithe, Yeah, the sithe that was on
Speaker 1: the front cover, like this looks bad ass, so bad
Speaker 1: in the corn. But yeah, so that's a parody more
Speaker 1: of those you reckon, I reckon. Yeah. I was getting
Speaker 1: almost like thriller vibes, you know, when the zombies are
Speaker 1: walking towards and the guests to the house and whatnot.
Speaker 1: But they they get the boys, they go to a barn.
Speaker 1: So look, I guess is that barn a reference to anything,
Speaker 1: because like the kids, I go into a barn, not
Speaker 1: that I recall. Okay, yeah, but Kenny gets snatched, of course,
Speaker 1: so we never see Kenny for this of the episode,
Speaker 1: and all the various kids get kidnaped from their beds
Speaker 1: and stuff. The Ginger kids break into the barn and
Speaker 1: they take those as while they swarm them. When out
Speaker 1: the airport, Hilton bre Insurance Group and the exterminate all
Speaker 1: non Ginger's conference is there as well, and the kids
Speaker 1: wake up standing calm, and they're in cages with lava
Speaker 1: and shit, and I was getting Indiana Jones Temple of
Speaker 1: Doo vibes with the lava pit and they're going to
Speaker 1: kill them all, but Garian drops again it need lava,
Speaker 1: have about lava.
Speaker 4: You guys got everything you need in here. Need more
Speaker 4: coffee buffet items. Now we're fine, thank you. How about lava?
Speaker 4: You got enough lava? Yes, we're good. Okay, Hey, thanks
Speaker 4: for choosing the report Hilton guys. By the way, a
Speaker 4: quick We're giving Gary Nelson a lot of props in
Speaker 4: this episode. I was wondering, why's his name for Meli
Speaker 4: because it just feels so sort of like business card,
Speaker 4: middle manager kind of thing. Gary Nelson, actually an American
Speaker 4: film and TV director, directed the original Freaky Friday. Oh
Speaker 4: and for here, No, no, no, I'm talking about the
Speaker 4: original yeah, way back in the day with Jodie Foster.
Speaker 4: And also four Finger discant favorite The black Hole?
Speaker 1: Oh your favorite?
Speaker 4: Yeah man, with Maximilian the Killer Robot.
Speaker 1: Share the Gary Nelson, Yeah man, how do you not
Speaker 1: know that?
Speaker 4: And I was like, I'm pretty sure that's the name
Speaker 4: of the guy directed The black Hole.
Speaker 1: Let's have a look, And it was The black Hole
Speaker 1: is like your movie of your childhood, right.
Speaker 4: One of them?
Speaker 1: Certainly? Yeah?
Speaker 4: Saw it with Bobby.
Speaker 1: Is it on the streaming services on Disney?
Speaker 4: I would probably be if it's If it's anywhere, it's
Speaker 4: on Disney plas.
Speaker 1: Yeah, because I was gonna get the kids to watch it.
Speaker 1: The kids enjoy it.
Speaker 4: Now they might find it a bit slow and honestly
Speaker 4: a bit creepy. Yeah, actually I'd wait a couple because
Speaker 4: I mean I saw it when I was like ten.
Speaker 4: There was a bit and that it was like what
Speaker 4: the Disney their minds back then? Oh yeah, yeah, should
Speaker 4: we still be for kids? How do I reach these kids?
Speaker 4: Turns out with ultra violets, not ultravirs. But there's certainly
Speaker 4: a bit in the black hole. It's like, I mean,
Speaker 4: stuck with me this day. I've seen I've seen Alien
Speaker 4: around that time, but this is around the time of Alien.
Speaker 4: I was like, everyone's going on about the chest person.
Speaker 4: This bit's kind of weird and not weirding me a bit,
Speaker 4: giving me the even more. Yeah, like, oh, good stuff,
Speaker 4: well done, Gary Nelson. Kids movies were made to scare
Speaker 4: kids back then. Well made it.
Speaker 1: Tough stuff. But they say, let the extermination begin, and
Speaker 1: they start with the day Walker Kyle. But he says, look,
Speaker 1: I'm going to tell you something. You need to hear
Speaker 1: it in private. He says, last words, fine, tell me
Speaker 1: hurry up, and then then we shall kill every non
Speaker 1: ginger kid here, which was in his ear. You see
Speaker 1: the face to change. Oh yeah, so we're gonna go
Speaker 1: through the plan, then gives a big fake speech, big rab.
Speaker 4: You know what living together aboud? You guess.
Speaker 1: I just realized that, realize something. We catches people what
Speaker 1: they look like? You just said we should seconds ago.
Speaker 1: And then again though, I think what that kid in
Speaker 1: the green, I'd say, and reminded.
Speaker 4: Me of how about him? What about this guy? What
Speaker 4: about this guy?
Speaker 1: But he sings the song hand in hand we lived
Speaker 1: together there, ginger or nuh, it's all the same, just.
Speaker 4: Just kicks off before we all learned it just bits
Speaker 4: a giller.
Speaker 1: I thought, I feel like this would be the perfect
Speaker 1: kind of role he never do in real life. But
Speaker 1: and anywhere anywhere you could pull off this scene whereas yeah,
Speaker 1: you know what, kids, anyone could do that. But the
Speaker 1: Kyle then calls him a manipulatives always like yes, but
Speaker 1: I'm not going to die. Also, he saved your life
Speaker 1: as well, Kyle, And that is the end of the episode,
Speaker 1: as they sing the song over the closing credits. Ginger kids, Yeah,
Speaker 1: enjoyable episode. It feels like it felt a little bit repetitive,
Speaker 1: But I enjoyed it for what it was. But it
Speaker 1: is very mad spirited towards ginger people.
Speaker 4: Absolutely, I think it had some unintended consequences.
Speaker 1: Yeah, which weren't funny. We shouldn't love of course, But
Speaker 1: again that's not entirely parking Stone's fault. I mean, as
Speaker 1: as and Sharon points out, they weren't the first people
Speaker 1: to make fun of ginger people, right, so you can't
Speaker 1: just blame them, but they were probably would have been
Speaker 1: used as a scapegoat. And it's got some dickhead watched
Speaker 1: South Park and made a Facebook group and said, hey,
Speaker 1: ginger's that's that's the dickhead kid's fault. They have partial blame,
Speaker 1: but you can't entirely blame this episode for the fact
Speaker 1: that some people want to beat up ginger kids. They
Speaker 1: just used that as as an excuse to do it.
Speaker 1: They were always going to do it. They didn't get
Speaker 1: the idea for watching the episode, did they do?
Speaker 4: You think maybe they maybe got the idea, but the
Speaker 4: spark was always there. This was a little bit of
Speaker 4: accelerant for that spark. When this episode doesn't actually say
Speaker 4: go out and ginger people, but it is saying they are.
Speaker 1: And they will.
Speaker 4: They'll get you, and they'll get you coming to get
Speaker 4: you all right.
Speaker 1: So that is our review of Ginger Kids. The next episode,
Speaker 1: we've reached it. It's Trapped in the Closet.
