So not-- wrong show.
[LAUGHTER]
Different hand movement?
No, it's the same movement,
just different audiences.
OK, go for it.
Not that stuff again, Ross.
I haven't done my show yet.
Hello, and welcome-- blah, blah.
Hello, and welcome back to

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