Hey I just wanted to let you know that Casetify has been caught directly copying DBrand’s case designs, even to the point of copying DBrand’s design easter eggs at a lower quality because they stole it from an image. It seems like they are ripping them off for multiple designs, but I am not sure if their whole selection is like that. I don’t know if that makes you want to change sponsors entirely, but I wanted you guys to know.
@@CentaurTesticles JerryRigEverything has a video up showing that Casetify certainly stole designs he worked with dBrand on. It is pretty easy to independently find images of the Casetify products and verify what he's claiming. This will certainly be the last casetify sponsored video I watch.
Someone beat me to it! I understand if you guys have to fulfil contract obligations and i know you guys are good about eithical sponsorships and shit so yeah fjjsjdkd love u king and rev 💚💚
hey just wanted to give you a heads up, you can still salvage your video (if you know where they are saved) you can simply use a thumb drive put DSL os (damn small linux) and boot up the computer and boot into the thumb drive live os and you can access your saved files without accessing windows xp, also try booting up in safe mode (or last known good configuration) if those dont work or too complicated, install a windows os without deleting the windows xp and create partion and access it that way. i hope this helped
@@bushidobride its definitely just Mexican culture. Other countries that do it, do it in reference to Mexican culture. Ultimo Dragon was a Japanese wrestler that trained in Mexico and wanted to join the culture. Similar with Dr. Wagner. Puerto Rico has a HUGE wrestling culture of its own, and lucha masks aren't part of it. But racist US promotions will put masks on anyone vaguely latino, or even foreign, to use lucha as a gimmick.
Women have always worked, the housewife was invented in the late Victorian period, and our entire school system is built around the fact that farm kids work during the summer.
And even then only for the privileged classes- poor white, black, indigenous, and other people of color we’re still expected to work and rise the family (or parentified older kids/ have help from older family members).
Not exactly. The summer isn't a major working period. However, it's when rich people leave town for their vacation homes and suffer loss of social standing if they don't
@@stoppit9in most European countries it's specifically to have the kids at home during the summer for working. This pretty surely influenced the US system too
I think this refers to the fact that his family had to live in extreme poverty, political persecution because of him, and the fact that of his 7 children, only 3 daughters reached adulthood, If you want to know my opinion, it's a joke very cruel, as if she were saying that it was his fault that the children died
Quite! They were too bizarre, even, for us in the UK. And that's saying something. No, they were too proscriptive and unable to play well with others, so they effed off towards you lot. Lucky old you.
@@angelamaryquitecontrary4609Yeah I can see why the British kicked a lot of these religious nutters out. They were basically Christian jihadists. Crazy that they were allowed to have their own continent.
The tamales thing bugs me on a couple levels. 1) It's the mom whose taking all that time to make the tamales, and presumably it's the mom whose buying the groceries and forking over the money for all the ingredients.HMMMMM. Do the kids ever reimburse her for her work, or is the fact that the kids are making profit from exploiting someone else's hard work conveniently never brought up? 2) Presumably those are meat tamales. There's a lot of states where that wouldn't fly unless you have a health-inspected kitchen that's up to code. Oh but OSHA is bad for Libertarians, isn't it. 3) Again, going off the assumption that those are meat-filled tamales, how are they storing those to ensure that they don't start growing harmful bacteria? Or are they just being sold after spending hours sitting in a wagon that has no environmental control whatsoever because again, OSHA bad.
As someone who's disabled, it always makes me happy to see people go against the propaganda surrounding disabled people. I'm not American, but disabled people are treated like scum in the Netherlands, where I'm from. It's very much hidden. Most people don't know how bad the situation is and how badly people are treated and even if they do a lot of people think it's deserved because they're not "productive." But there's no get-out-of-jail-free card for disability. A lot of people who now need help from the government were people who a year or a month or a week ago would have told disabled people to suck it up and get a job instead of being a "parasite." Making sure disabled people can not only live, but do so comfortably and equal to everyone else is good for everyone. And politicians don't want people to understand that.
I’ve done a lot of research on the Virginia/Eastern Shore (post-Jamestown), and one huge problem was that farmers only wanted to grow and cultivate cash crops (mostly tobacco), and it soon reached the point where no one wanted to grow food because it was not profitable. Thus there were shortages of food. Also, I read court transcripts, and many of the settlers were petty and bitchy, hurling accusations against each other. Not anything interesting like witchcraft, but accusations of petty burglary and ‘your cow stomped all over my vegetable garden’. Think of it like the Real Housewives of Accomac.
To be fair, the witchcraft accusation usually stemmed from super petty asininity like "She looked at my pigs funny and said I wasn't a good pig farmer and then my pigs died. Definitely a witch." And also, "You chopped those trees on that acre that i totally decided was mine for reasons and now I can say you're a witch and it costs less than suing you." I think bitchiness was an intrinsic quality among colonial settlers. Especially the Puritan ones.
@@Xenite_51 @juri_amari as someone who used to watch both shows as a kid back in the day, but only caught some hercules more recently (read: several years ago), was there any particular continuity between stuff which happened in the hercules storylines over to xena’s show? i know that a lot of the episodes are self-contained, but i always thought it’d be cool to see xena deal with consequences from the prior show apart from xena’s own backstory. sorry for the rambly nature of this ask, but it isn’t often that i run into a concentration of good people chatting about this stuff lol.
This pilgrim must be friends with my coworker who says the threat of starvation and homelessness “incentivises” people to work. It’s an absurd and cruel ideology.
Communism and socialism are two different things, and socialism isn't always Marxism. I wish conservatives would stop using these terms as if they are synonymous. 🙄
@@emzetkin1100altho horrible news, that's probably even wrong given so many adaptations and theories have existed since the coinage of the terms as well as spinoff variations such as market socialism that to say that there's one definitive description is relatively reductionist. Forms of government and economy are better defined by comparing them to traits of different representations and theories throughout time, a bit more like when you're trying to classify the genre of a song rather than the symptoms of a virus
Communism is the end goal of socialism: a classless society where the people control the means of production. Socdem and theory illiterate anarchists are not experts on socialism.
Last month I went to Plimoth Plantation, the living history museum that the shot of Plymouth in the cartoon is based on. One of the women talked to me about how she and everyone else who made it through the first terrible winter were “very close” and would help each other with anything. She repeated the point a few different ways. Trauma bonded, in modern terms. These weren’t people who would let each other starve. And they didn’t need an external incentive to work hard. If they didn’t grow enough food, they starved and died. If the business about how many acres they farmed is true, it had more to do with the trials of founding a new colony with only 50 people, some of them children-it took them a long time just to build enough houses for everyone, and most people spent the first several months living in the meetinghouse. They were short on everything and had no infrastructure except what they built themselves. After the first winter, shipfuls of new arrivals arrived regularly and the colony size grew, so the number of acres farmed would increase as a matter of course. Also remember that these were devoted Christians in an era that emphasized charity. They were also members of a small, self-isolated group, which naturally encourages people to be community-minded-and the culture overall was community-minded to begin with. Conformity and cooperation were important to them. For all that we like to turn the Pilgrims into icons of individualism, they were anything but libertarian.
They did have one thing in common with the demographic the show tries to reach: the ones who called themselves pilgrims (as opposed to the people who were going for purely economic reasons, pilgrim is a religious term) hated the government because they thought it was too liberal and wanted to establish a Christian theocracy with themselves at the top.
@@camcat26 It wasn't until last month's visit to Plimoth that I learned pilgrims and Puritans were different. But yes. The pilgrims founded Plymouth Colony, and were there to escape religious persecution. They wanted to separate from the official English church, which was a serious political statement at the time. They had managed to find tolerance for a while by moving to the Netherlands, but their children were growing up more Dutch than English, so many of them migrated to the New World. The Puritans were members of the English church who fought a long and hard battle for reform. The fight and its consequences were bitter enough that some members emigrated, but unlike the pilgrims, they weren't part of a small and relatively powerless group; they were part of a major political and religious force. And yes, the Puritans were often sour killjoys. AFAIK, the pilgrims were less strict, much more like average English people of the time.
thanks for the shoutout!! and thanks for continuing to review this show, haha. the show isn't NEARLY as boring as the books, which on the one hand is a good thing, but on the other hand, is more effective at drawing kids into their weird economic propaganda machine. keep up the good work
saying the words "Ben Shapiro writing fanfic" gave me psychic damage, but Grandma Gabby dating Marx gave me more somehow. Edit: this episode could have been so much more interesting. when the Berlin wall thing happened, Marx could have revealed that he was competent the whole time, then the wall turns into a mech suit for him to fight grandma gabby with. then, the jazzy also turns into a mech suit, but it's grandma gabbys wrestling outfit. they start fighting, but the jazzy is out of juice. the twins shout "sharing isnt caring," marx is defeated, the berlin wall falls. tuttle twins team hire me even though i'm not straight.
Oh god, you're giving them ideas! I can hear the keyboards clacking all the way from here! Well, I hope the Tuttle Twins fanfic smut is at least well written. You monster. Look what you hath wrought upon us...
Kinda Love the implication that hundreds of pilgrims starved because they didnt have the incentive to Work. Like.... Starving wasnt enough? Theyre too lazy to produce food so they or someone Close to them died and only money motivated them? How does that even make sense 😂
Mexican lucha libre fan here! Yes, the religious flavour is an important aspect of all mexican life. We, sadly, are a deeply catholic country and that reflects on all cultural expressions. On the wrestling: It's common to have several wrestlers on the ring at the same time. They wrestle with each other until there are only one winner. There are also many great woman wrestlers, and they are not so sexualized as the american ones. There are also the "exóticos", male wrestlers that are gay and dress in a very flamboyant way. Often, their signature moves include some sexual innuendos, like kissing their hetero counter parts, for example. The masks are a very important part of lucha libre. Almost all the wrestlers keep they identities concealed. I had some wrestlers friends, and I had the privilege of visit some workshops in where masks were made. The shops were in spicy neighborhoods (Lucha Libre is a sport of the low class), and fronting as shoe making workshops. In the back they had the masks and all was really secretive. All professional masks are made for each wrestler, taking measures of their faces. It's a fantastic subculture! I'm a seamstress, and, when I was young, I dreamed about being an apprentice to a mask maker! Haha. I'm in the middle of watching the episode, but had to stop and write my comment 😅 I'm a bit offended that the show portrayed cuban and mexican as the same, when we are two different cultures, but the show was created by white people, so it's not surprising. Thank you for making my days more bearable, Jenn and James! ❤
im not surprised that they got mexicans and cubans wrong the same as how do i put this? we broke every treaty we ever had with the native Americans and the native Americans were and still treated horribly (trail of tears anyone?) anyways its not surprising that the right wants to erase historical facts like that because it makes the whites look bad and America look bad and we cant have that now can we?
The East Berlin section is absolutely wild to me, as a German. I was born after reunification. Everything I've learned was that the GDR was not the best place and people tried all kinds of ways to get out (one family even built a hot air balloon), but no one is demonizing it the way this show is doing. That's really not necessary to do. It's also important to note that in the way reunification was handled, West Germany gobbled up the resources, factories etc., causing the eastern regions of Germany which used to be GDR to be economically disadvantaged. People there want to work, but the work wandered away, so the people left as well (broadly speaking, it's a bit more complex than that). Honestly, I don't think they did any research on the GDR at all. What they portrayed is just so far off the mark that it's just sad.
What really baffles me (as a German who was born a few years before the unification) is how the minimize the problem of West Berlin specifically? Instead of letting the communists shoot at the Tuddle's I would have shown the Air-Support that was done by the Allies, because of how West Berlin was surrounded by East Germany basically? Also how people not only used Air-Balloons to fly over to east germany but how specifically in Berlin people dug tunnels, used emptied out car seats and many other really clever things to get to West Berlin and from there to West Germany. Like "look everyone wanted freedom and capitalism!" (which we also know is not true). Also I like to imagine what would had happened if in the death strip of Berlin suddenly a tank appeared and a racoon in an american helmet attacked a soldier of the East German military. I think they would have sent the bomb.
The reference to the white spider and communist condor sounds like a history reference from the Russian Revolution. The whites were the czarist troops and the red troops were lead by Trotsky. How the writers expect kids to comprehend the nuances of a foreign war that happened over a century ago and is very much rushed over in most schools, much less fundamentalist home schooling is beyond me.
just like how kids would be interested in politics they cant vote yet and would be more interested in playing and hanging out with friends than listening to a cartoon on politics
@@PokemonRules333 yeah, most kids don't know much about politics and governmental systems. My daughter does but I take her with me to go vote and she asks questions and I answer them. I do however accept she is in the minority on this. She's running for treasurer of her middle school. She is the exception though. Most kids aren't politically aware on the majority of issues. They just want their phones.
As a middle of the cohort millennial ('87) I loved Frasier as a tween/teen I watched Cheers as a little kid too. There weren't that many channels to pick from back then lol
@@mandalynn1384 Same. And I can never figure out why. Sure, 'Fraiser' had a cute dog, but I guarantee I had no idea what was going on in the shows otherwise.
So my husband and i actually have Kevin Sorbo to thank for the start of our relationship. So he made a terrible movie “Kull the Conqueror”. It was so bad we ignored it and totally fell for each other lol.❤ So thank you Kevin from a lovely long lasting pagan/atheist couple 😊 that’s been together for 25 years
At least here in Finland, the libertarians shouted and criticized that Finland did wrong when it gave the vaccines for free and didn't demand payment in exchange for the right to receive a vaccine that alleviates symptoms and contained the pandemic. This quickly angered the Finns because the libertarians wanted to make big money and profit from people's suffering. Maybe in a bigger country like the USA, such voices are heard more weakly because they are muffled by the larger masses?
James, remember that fundies consider qualities like 'gentle and indulgent' and 'not bossy' and 'friend' to be bad parenting, so if they read the same passage you did (nice job digging that up, btw), they might consider him a terrible father. Or like another commenter mentioned, they might be referring to him as the "father of communism".
Couple Goals for sure! ♥️ To be two kind, loving, genuine people. To not necessarily agree with a person or idea yet be respectful, candid and humble. Jen has impressed me for over a year. As a person raised to believe in Christianity, I have vacillated at times between faith and doubt. I’ve now settled somewhere comfortably between the two. I’ve always appreciated Jen’s kindness. Jen - Please keep faith in yourself, your divinity, your message, your goals, your humor and most of all your kindness. May all the love, peace, contentment and joy your heart can hold come to you. Heart felt thanks from Texas tonight. ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
I don't think so. Used to think they were cute. Loved the support he showed her when she appeared on Shiny Happy People. But Jen said "our channel" today and that felt like a first time. As I said in my comment above, I feel like he;'s riding her coattails at this point.
@CountryWatchdog I mean... didn't he quit his job for this? He works on it as much as she does probably. I wouldn't do it myself if I had a youtube but she seems happy this being a two person channel and to let someone else do the work half the time. As I said, I'd rather not see boyfriends/husbands join channels but he's not really just sitting there doing nothing.
James quit his job to do this full time. Jen clearly enjoys his help and having him on the show/ doing episodes. Plus it's nice to hear 2 different perspectives on some of this stuff.
17:46 haven’t finished the vid yet but I’m pretty sure the marx terrible father comment is due to the fact that his family was almost always poor and some of his kids died from poor health due to their poverty, which conservatives generally paint as marx being lazy and refusing to work so he can mooch off engles while his children starved, it’s a petty and ill-informed jab but I’m not surprised they made it lol
That is funny because my mums main criticism of why she doesnt have to give a shit about philosophers and theorists Like Marx is because they are too rich to work and "have the time" to write their books That same mum wanted me to Go to Uni despite that obvious disdain for education, so thats Led to some interesting Dinners in the past few years...
Hi Jen, I'm a sys admin. If you'd like, I can try to help you get access to the footage on that drive. You can try to plug it into another computer (you can find a sata to usb adapter online for fairly cheap). It may show up regularly and you can find the footage easily, but if the data got corrupted, you can run data recovery software in an attempt to get it back.
Real Thanksgiving fact from an (real) American: We didn't have capitalism before the colonizers came here. We had no homeless people. We had no starvation (outside of a famine). We helped the unbathed ⚪ people from their starvation because we had overplenty. And because if they turn wendigos... Theres only one recourse for that.
Hold up i need a minute. The "Thanksgiving was actually about giving up socialism" thing wasnt just something they made up for the cartoon? They pulled it from a wider belief among American libertarians? Oh wow. Wheeew boy. Edit: rush "ive been dead for years now" limbaugh!! My god. How did I never hear about this particular flavor pf historic revisionism before??
If these people are Mormon, the whole "women working is good :)" thing confuses the hell out of me. Mormon women being pressured into staying home with the kids is one of the biggest reasons why MLMs are so popular in Utah. The child labor doesn't surprise me at all, though. Lots of busts on high-profile Utah companies for using child labor these days.
i keep waiting for yall to point out that karl marx's theory of communism is DESCRIPTIVE not PRESCRIPTIVE!! all he ever said was "these are the problems inherent to capitalism and socialism/communism will be the next evolution"
I’m happy you called out the Tuttle Twins for that. As someone who was raised in a Fundamentalist Christian family and environment, I wish more people knew about the Seven Mountains of Dominion
Thank you. I am from a conservative area of the country. I am very familiar with the concept of “If You don’t work, you don’t eat.” I also have relatives that believe mental health and addiction problems are a choice. They shame people who don’t work because they are on disability or because they can’t afford to live with using food stamps or Medicaid. Also, they feel abortion is wrong. I don’t understand how people can be so narrow minded and cruel. I get so angry when I even think of how awful they have treated others. Everyone deserves to eat and have a decent home. How can someone expect others to work if they are hungry and are worrying about not having electricity. Makes no sense to me to also force women to raise children on nothing because they were forced into motherhood. It’s idiotic.
@@mo.ka.9661the first time, perhaps. But given how much we’ve learnt about the genetic aspect of addiction, and how many people in the US are addicts as a result of legally prescribed medication from trusted medical professionals (just about 18% of all US citizens, nearly 1 in 5), or how poverty and drug abuse are almost inherently linked thanks to certain actions on the part of some three letter government organisations, it’s hard to completely condemn. If someone tries heroin on a random Tuesday because they just felt like it, yeah. That’s stupid. But how often do you actually think that happens with no other factors involved?
Oh no! I hope you both get better soon. I also hope it's just a cold and not something serious like COVID or flu. I'm not a doctor, but my medical orders are to rest, eat soup, stay in bed, and watch UA-cam for three straight days. If anyone has a problem with this send them my way. I'm from New Jersey, I know how to fight... 😈
it is _insane_ that anyone could look at the "sick kid needs help" angle they got here and think that it is somehow a bad thing to help the kid. not to mention all the objective lies.
Kevin Sorbo filmed part of a movie in the building where my spouse used to work. He was a colossal douche to everyone and got mad when people weren’t in awe of his presence. There’s a reason Sam Rami doesn’t work with him anymore.
The reason why they struggle to explain complicated issues within 25 minutes for a kids show is because having to actually think and do it unbiased research would destroy every talking point they have
I was actually an extra in God’s Not Dead (4) We The People, they were filming in 2021 when the blizzard happened and Texas froze over. Funnily enough, I was also an extra in Reagan, in the scene that Kevin Sorbo is in!
One thing I find really funny about this show is that there's a character that's similar to her in the Blue Beetle movie (eccentric grandma character that can use a mini gun) with one critical difference; she's on the opposite end of the spectrum politically. She was a revolutionary that fought "the imperialists". Forget Karl Marx, I want to see the fight between Granny Gabby and Nana Reyes.
As someone who randomly sings “God’s not dead he’s surely alive!” just constantly in my daily life, loved James saying it as soon as heard Sorbo, me too James.
Sorry you're going through that. I unfortunately can relate to the loss of a parent. These little moments of entertainment are so needed to push the grief away for even just a few minutes. Take care of yourself ❤️
Ooh I was taught the "pilgrims almost died because some of them didn't want to work" thing when I was a kid. I don't remember exactly who taught it to me as a kid. I think that I asked my parents or a teacher "really?" after they said it or I read it, but it's fuzzy. I definitely was taught that, though. That's crazy
Did not expect the Mae Young appreciation to be included but I'm here for it! I'm a little disappointed i didn't see this in time to be the Communist Condor for Halloween.
I feel like whomever is writing this show has the same understanding about the american colonial as a non-american. We know something happened but we don't know the details, so they just wing it
Ya they do got a fourth graders understanding of the historical subject. Cause 4th graders make hand Turkeys and pilgrim outfits and how they all ate food but nothing deeper or more complex.
As a New Hampshire native, I would love for these show writers to try and explain the libertarian disaster that was the Free State Project. Nothing says “successful political system” like bears overrunning your town!
"You see we are assholes and would prefer to not spend time with our friends than part with our wealth in order to share an experience. Friends aren't a motivation only money!"
FYI 😂Just checked, Kevin Sorbo lost work for his ‘christian ’ views and, paraphrasing ‘I wouldn’t have had any work if not for christian based filmmaker’s along with Hallmark Entertainment
Here in the UK, I check in for your videos on Saturday mornings, when I have a day off and a lie in, and it is a weekly highlight. Thank you for doing all this. ❤
My mother is Colombian and she grew up with luchador wrestling at least on TV, not sure if it was Mexican broadcasts or Colombian but she and my abuelo got really into it lol
In Japanese wrestling, strong man style, it’s against the rules to pull hair or punch each other with a closed fist, but they do slap the heck out of each other. Which is also cool
If only people could actually live pay check to pay check for 6 months just to get a taste of what it’s like to actually be poor. Then maybe they would understand
I heard of people doing this for lent, and for some it has the opposite effect: they mistake it for a game and boast how it was difficult but manageable.
I honestly thought the majority people did. We do. We run out of money before the next payday. I know we struggle but instead of focusing on what we don't have, appreciate what we do. Instead of gifts for our autistic 6,7,8 year old boys are making bags of basic needs for the homeless here in Pittsburgh. We live in a 1992 RV with 6 people. I am a little shook you consider us poor. There are people living under a box or blanket on the streets here. Before anyone comes for me. My husband works 2-3 jobs. He's a navy vet. They just don't pay enough even with a good 30+ years of experience. I stay at home with my boys and homeschool. I just think I make sure they're not lost into a system at public schools. Excuse me while we doordash so we have something for dinner and no one tips
@@shanikaclark4804Good for you, Shanika. Our son is autistic too. He has learning disabilities, too. I write this on holiday in Egypt, where we are spending two weeks holiday with him. We have also taken him to France and Greece many times - from the UK - and I am bursting with pride at how wonderfully well he is doing. He even drove at night in some frankly terrifying small vehicle, in the desert, not long after his first, and I suspect only, solo ride on a camel. He is 32 now, so let me tell you that the age of your lads is the time we found hardest. Just keep putting one foot in front of the other until bedtime! (Bedtime, haha.) We had no need to homeschool - the special schools in our area are phenomenal, as was his college, and the programme in which he takes part now. I realise how fortunate we are, though. Anyway, he is the least materialistic person we know. All he needs is love, and the occasional chocolate ice-cream. He's bloody lovely, as I am sure are your sons. I think you sound like a marvellous family, and I am so impressed by your work for others. I wish you, and your family, all the very best; and remember, things DO get easier! xxxx
And somehow we have to get them to live paycheck to paycheck for 6 months WITHOUT KNOWING how long it’ll last. Because that’s part of the shitty hopeless feeling of it all and thinking is this going to be forever? And if so then what kind of life is this? It contributes so much to the despair and stress.
Wow, James when you said you were a weird Republican child who would have liked it, I almost fell out. I too was a weird Republican kid. I was part of the young Republicans and worked with local politicians during elections. Also worked the polls. So embarrassing now. I am so far left now that I am falling off the edge.
As someone who isn't from the US and was a huge Xena fan in my childhood, I always thought the Xena series came before the Hercules series! Because Xena was broadcasted more and before Hercules in my country, I thought Hercules was actually an afterthought series born from Xena's success.
Re: Kelsey Grammar's conservatism - I'm surprised neither of you knew about An American Carol. I think about it everytime he or anything Frasier-adjacent comes up in conversation. I saw it in theaters and I'm doomed to never forget about it.
just went back and watched the original tuttle video and i was thinking about how much i couldn’t wait to see this specific video, i’m so glad it’s out now
Another Thanksgiving propaganda is the belief that the Pilgrims were escaping religious persecution. Actually, they disliked the religious tolerism of Holland. Thanksgiving as a holiday was started in the 19th century, not the 17th century.
I am so glad I had seen both of James’ Angel Studio video because when I went to see the film “Life After Death” on a last minute whim, it had no marketing that it was Angel Studios (on my theater’s website). I was annoyed at first once I realized after it started but I stayed because I was curious about the stance they were going with, and it was okay until some of the experts became religious. The pay it forward ticket thing was with that film too! Oh that was creepy sitting through. And they put it in a place at the end where it’s incredibly awkward and almost shameful if you walk out during it- like you are walking out during the actual film.
I really hate that this horrible grandma character shared my name 😂but at least we don’t share a full name but as a Gabi, she has brought shame to my name.
I am so looking forward to the PC episode. Growing up in a religious household at a time when “video games led to sin”, I was allowed to play Bible video games on the Philips CD-I console. The games were WILD and I highly recommend looking into them if you’re able to get your hands on them for a reasonable price
I think Sorbo's Puritan character saying that people weren't properly incentivized by starvation is good news that we won't die for our capitalist overlords. We will lay down and die in the furrows as long as it means we get some fucking rest.
Thanks for the video! The way a kids' show managed to misrepresent the horror of the late GDR shooting strips near the wall and putting the papercut Marx grandkids in Lederhosen just shows their ignorance and lack of nuance. The way Thanksgiving was forced to fit into their libertarian narrative was painful. The moral of the story leading to an individualistic procapitalist solution that makes it seem being sick or unable to work is lack of ambition somehow and the selective charity for the one specific child being portrayed as a nice thing just hurt my brain. I do want to see more of your commentary on this madness though!❤
Wait a second! Grandma Gabby was IN THE MATCH! Why did any of these kids need to buy tickets?!? Even if she just gave her family seats to her grandkids, that couls have been seats for the tonsil kid and one other at least! THIS IS SUCH BULLSHIT!
If you guys see an episode of the Tuttle Twins where grandma goes back in time to the 1950s, when the top income of the richest Americans was taxed at 90% and somehow that wasn't socialism because that's when America was great, please do a react video for it!
My partner recently got back into wrestling, and i ended up watching some w him for the first time at 32. I loved rhea ripley and that got me interested, then i fell in love with dominic mysterio...then becky lynch...and it's just grown from there. It's really fun and interesting.
I, for one, would love to see King James do some purely wrestling content - is there any chance of something like that in the future? (Or maybe some kind of future crossover, if the material to support it exists?)
I'd also like to place an order with Ethan & Emily's MOM for 500 free tamales. If I sell them for $2/ea, I can get an extra $1,000 this weekend. Down a few bucks for the ones I eat, of course.
I can only associate "God's not dead" with the time I went to see it with my friend's church and then I blew chunks all over the bathroom because I caught a stomach bug.
I love you guys so much thank you for your awesome content … so the weirdest thing about them slamming socialism is that the whole set up of angel studios is socialism crowd funding … so weird…
To say this was a wild ride is…well, it’s an insult to Mr. Toad, certainly. Thank you for unmasking the utterly deranged children’s propaganda outlet that is the Tuttle Twins. As always, delightful, informative, and galvanizing. Big hugs to you both!
Hey! I’m a huge fan of you two! Also, thought you should know that my brother-in-law is a pro wrestling referee, and has been for years! Did tons of local shows in southern Indiana, then worked for Jeff Jarrett in Nashville with TNA, then moved to WWE (probably this last 8-10 years)
Thanks to Casetify for sponsoring this video! Go to www.casetify.com/fundiefridays today to save 10% off your order!
Hey I just wanted to let you know that Casetify has been caught directly copying DBrand’s case designs, even to the point of copying DBrand’s design easter eggs at a lower quality because they stole it from an image. It seems like they are ripping them off for multiple designs, but I am not sure if their whole selection is like that. I don’t know if that makes you want to change sponsors entirely, but I wanted you guys to know.
@@CentaurTesticles JerryRigEverything has a video up showing that Casetify certainly stole designs he worked with dBrand on. It is pretty easy to independently find images of the Casetify products and verify what he's claiming.
This will certainly be the last casetify sponsored video I watch.
Someone beat me to it! I understand if you guys have to fulfil contract obligations and i know you guys are good about eithical sponsorships and shit so yeah fjjsjdkd love u king and rev 💚💚
hey just wanted to give you a heads up, you can still salvage your video (if you know where they are saved) you can simply use a thumb drive put DSL os (damn small linux) and boot up the computer and boot into the thumb drive live os and you can access your saved files without accessing windows xp, also try booting up in safe mode (or last known good configuration) if those dont work or too complicated, install a windows os without deleting the windows xp and create partion and access it that way. i hope this helped

As a Cuban it’s so bizarre that they made her a Luchador….that does not exist in Cuba lol. It’s absolutely another example of lumping in all Latinos
Agreed. Luchador is a huge part of Mexican and Latin American Culture, not Cuban.
@@bushidobride its definitely just Mexican culture. Other countries that do it, do it in reference to Mexican culture. Ultimo Dragon was a Japanese wrestler that trained in Mexico and wanted to join the culture. Similar with Dr. Wagner.
Puerto Rico has a HUGE wrestling culture of its own, and lucha masks aren't part of it. But racist US promotions will put masks on anyone vaguely latino, or even foreign, to use lucha as a gimmick.
Everyone can be a Luthador nowadays
I mean... Konnan was born in Cuba.
That said, I doubt the people who made the show know who Konnan is.
@@ColeYote Who is Konnan?
Loving the fact that this show's economics is obviously anti-disability, and yet, Grandma uses a mobility aid.
This show is all about bettering the optics of libertarianism.
I guess the message is that she made it herself so it's her capital or something...
Yep😂
Women have always worked, the housewife was invented in the late Victorian period, and our entire school system is built around the fact that farm kids work during the summer.
And even then only for the privileged classes- poor white, black, indigenous, and other people of color we’re still expected to work and rise the family (or parentified older kids/ have help from older family members).
Not exactly. The summer isn't a major working period. However, it's when rich people leave town for their vacation homes and suffer loss of social standing if they don't
The real reason is because early schools did not have air conditioning.
@@stoppit9in most European countries it's specifically to have the kids at home during the summer for working. This pretty surely influenced the US system too
@@sannh middle to upper class homes didn’t have air conditioning- they pushed to leave the cities during the summer to escape the heat and smells.
My take on the “Karl Marx is a bad father” joke is that they’re saying that because he’s colloquially known as “the father of communism”
Jesus, I hate that that's hilarious writing
🤦🏽♀️
That’s what I thought
🤦🏻♀️
I think this refers to the fact that his family had to live in extreme poverty, political persecution because of him, and the fact that of his 7 children, only 3 daughters reached adulthood, If you want to know my opinion, it's a joke very cruel, as if she were saying that it was his fault that the children died
“When the pilgrims discovered freedom” made me spit out my tea haha
Hey! None of that! Go spit it in to Boston Harbor where it belongs!
Atun Shei would tear this episode of the Tuttle Twins apart so fast and easily
Quite! They were too bizarre, even, for us in the UK. And that's saying something. No, they were too proscriptive and unable to play well with others, so they effed off towards you lot. Lucky old you.
...and guns, don't forget their god given guns
@@angelamaryquitecontrary4609Yeah I can see why the British kicked a lot of these religious nutters out. They were basically Christian jihadists. Crazy that they were allowed to have their own continent.
The tamales thing bugs me on a couple levels. 1) It's the mom whose taking all that time to make the tamales, and presumably it's the mom whose buying the groceries and forking over the money for all the ingredients.HMMMMM. Do the kids ever reimburse her for her work, or is the fact that the kids are making profit from exploiting someone else's hard work conveniently never brought up? 2) Presumably those are meat tamales. There's a lot of states where that wouldn't fly unless you have a health-inspected kitchen that's up to code. Oh but OSHA is bad for Libertarians, isn't it. 3) Again, going off the assumption that those are meat-filled tamales, how are they storing those to ensure that they don't start growing harmful bacteria? Or are they just being sold after spending hours sitting in a wagon that has no environmental control whatsoever because again, OSHA bad.
🤔🤔🤔
As someone who's disabled, it always makes me happy to see people go against the propaganda surrounding disabled people. I'm not American, but disabled people are treated like scum in the Netherlands, where I'm from. It's very much hidden. Most people don't know how bad the situation is and how badly people are treated and even if they do a lot of people think it's deserved because they're not "productive." But there's no get-out-of-jail-free card for disability. A lot of people who now need help from the government were people who a year or a month or a week ago would have told disabled people to suck it up and get a job instead of being a "parasite." Making sure disabled people can not only live, but do so comfortably and equal to everyone else is good for everyone. And politicians don't want people to understand that.
I’ve done a lot of research on the Virginia/Eastern Shore (post-Jamestown), and one huge problem was that farmers only wanted to grow and cultivate cash crops (mostly tobacco), and it soon reached the point where no one wanted to grow food because it was not profitable. Thus there were shortages of food. Also, I read court transcripts, and many of the settlers were petty and bitchy, hurling accusations against each other. Not anything interesting like witchcraft, but accusations of petty burglary and ‘your cow stomped all over my vegetable garden’. Think of it like the Real Housewives of Accomac.
Honestly...it sounds like a good premise for a new court drama show to me.
To be fair, the witchcraft accusation usually stemmed from super petty asininity like "She looked at my pigs funny and said I wasn't a good pig farmer and then my pigs died. Definitely a witch." And also, "You chopped those trees on that acre that i totally decided was mine for reasons and now I can say you're a witch and it costs less than suing you." I think bitchiness was an intrinsic quality among colonial settlers. Especially the Puritan ones.
much has changed since then, but the petty remains the same
I would actually watch the Real Housewives of Accomac😂
Massive Xena fan here. I love when Lucy destroys Kevin and always deserves it! She’s a great person, environmentalist and big LGBTQIA ally.
Huge fan of Xena as well ❤ I’ve been rewatching the series (just finished the first two seasons) and I love it more now than I did when I was a kid.
@@JuriAmari I’ve been doing the yearly rewatch 😅 just finished Gabrielle’s Hope in season 3 and off to the rift saga 😬
@@Xenite_51 @juri_amari as someone who used to watch both shows as a kid back in the day, but only caught some hercules more recently (read: several years ago), was there any particular continuity between stuff which happened in the hercules storylines over to xena’s show? i know that a lot of the episodes are self-contained, but i always thought it’d be cool to see xena deal with consequences from the prior show apart from xena’s own backstory. sorry for the rambly nature of this ask, but it isn’t often that i run into a concentration of good people chatting about this stuff lol.
Lucy made me confident in my muscular frame during high school. Really grateful for that.
Sorbo makes her... DISAPPOINTED!
This pilgrim must be friends with my coworker who says the threat of starvation and homelessness “incentivises” people to work. It’s an absurd and cruel ideology.
Horrific person
A lot of American cultural thought on work and poverty ties back directly to colonial Puritan thinking. It's frustrating and dumb.
@@ReneeAnnette yeah that old Protestant work ethic… bogus stuff

Communism and socialism are two different things, and socialism isn't always Marxism. I wish conservatives would stop using these terms as if they are synonymous. 🙄
Horrid news, you're probably the one using the term socialism wrong.
Socialism isn't welfare capitalism, it's workers' control over production.
It’s intentional. If they learn the difference, they have to acknowledge nuance, and if you can acknowledge nuance, your world view falls apart
Christians teach that god is the father, son and Holy Ghost, they don’t do nuance 😂 it would destroy too many delusions
@@emzetkin1100altho horrible news, that's probably even wrong given so many adaptations and theories have existed since the coinage of the terms as well as spinoff variations such as market socialism that to say that there's one definitive description is relatively reductionist. Forms of government and economy are better defined by comparing them to traits of different representations and theories throughout time, a bit more like when you're trying to classify the genre of a song rather than the symptoms of a virus
Communism is the end goal of socialism: a classless society where the people control the means of production. Socdem and theory illiterate anarchists are not experts on socialism.
Is it weird to say I’m proud of you guys for getting such a glowing review from the Tuttle Twins creators?
Last month I went to Plimoth Plantation, the living history museum that the shot of Plymouth in the cartoon is based on. One of the women talked to me about how she and everyone else who made it through the first terrible winter were “very close” and would help each other with anything. She repeated the point a few different ways. Trauma bonded, in modern terms. These weren’t people who would let each other starve.
And they didn’t need an external incentive to work hard. If they didn’t grow enough food, they starved and died.
If the business about how many acres they farmed is true, it had more to do with the trials of founding a new colony with only 50 people, some of them children-it took them a long time just to build enough houses for everyone, and most people spent the first several months living in the meetinghouse. They were short on everything and had no infrastructure except what they built themselves. After the first winter, shipfuls of new arrivals arrived regularly and the colony size grew, so the number of acres farmed would increase as a matter of course.
Also remember that these were devoted Christians in an era that emphasized charity. They were also members of a small, self-isolated group, which naturally encourages people to be community-minded-and the culture overall was community-minded to begin with. Conformity and cooperation were important to them. For all that we like to turn the Pilgrims into icons of individualism, they were anything but libertarian.
They did have one thing in common with the demographic the show tries to reach: the ones who called themselves pilgrims (as opposed to the people who were going for purely economic reasons, pilgrim is a religious term) hated the government because they thought it was too liberal and wanted to establish a Christian theocracy with themselves at the top.
@@kellyburds2991that was the Puritans, and they were in Boston. Plimouth Colony and Massachusetts Bay Colony didn’t merge until after 1700
Thank you
@@camcat26 It wasn't until last month's visit to Plimoth that I learned pilgrims and Puritans were different.
But yes. The pilgrims founded Plymouth Colony, and were there to escape religious persecution. They wanted to separate from the official English church, which was a serious political statement at the time. They had managed to find tolerance for a while by moving to the Netherlands, but their children were growing up more Dutch than English, so many of them migrated to the New World.
The Puritans were members of the English church who fought a long and hard battle for reform. The fight and its consequences were bitter enough that some members emigrated, but unlike the pilgrims, they weren't part of a small and relatively powerless group; they were part of a major political and religious force.
And yes, the Puritans were often sour killjoys. AFAIK, the pilgrims were less strict, much more like average English people of the time.
Libertarian is individual based. It isn't conservative evangelical Christian republican based.
thanks for the shoutout!! and thanks for continuing to review this show, haha. the show isn't NEARLY as boring as the books, which on the one hand is a good thing, but on the other hand, is more effective at drawing kids into their weird economic propaganda machine. keep up the good work
saying the words "Ben Shapiro writing fanfic" gave me psychic damage, but Grandma Gabby dating Marx gave me more somehow.
Edit: this episode could have been so much more interesting. when the Berlin wall thing happened, Marx could have revealed that he was competent the whole time, then the wall turns into a mech suit for him to fight grandma gabby with. then, the jazzy also turns into a mech suit, but it's grandma gabbys wrestling outfit. they start fighting, but the jazzy is out of juice. the twins shout "sharing isnt caring," marx is defeated, the berlin wall falls. tuttle twins team hire me even though i'm not straight.
Someone needs to write a fanfic on AO3 where Karl Marx is Grandma Gabby's ex-husband and the Tuttle Twins' mother's father.
Oh god, you're giving them ideas! I can hear the keyboards clacking all the way from here! Well, I hope the Tuttle Twins fanfic smut is at least well written. You monster. Look what you hath wrought upon us...
😂😂😂 well now I'm off to search, I hope you're happy 😂
YESYESYES🥰
Kinda Love the implication that hundreds of pilgrims starved because they didnt have the incentive to Work.
Like.... Starving wasnt enough? Theyre too lazy to produce food so they or someone Close to them died and only money motivated them? How does that even make sense 😂
Mexican lucha libre fan here!
Yes, the religious flavour is an important aspect of all mexican life. We, sadly, are a deeply catholic country and that reflects on all cultural expressions.
On the wrestling: It's common to have several wrestlers on the ring at the same time. They wrestle with each other until there are only one winner. There are also many great woman wrestlers, and they are not so sexualized as the american ones.
There are also the "exóticos", male wrestlers that are gay and dress in a very flamboyant way. Often, their signature moves include some sexual innuendos, like kissing their hetero counter parts, for example.
The masks are a very important part of lucha libre. Almost all the wrestlers keep they identities concealed.
I had some wrestlers friends, and I had the privilege of visit some workshops in where masks were made. The shops were in spicy neighborhoods (Lucha Libre is a sport of the low class), and fronting as shoe making workshops. In the back they had the masks and all was really secretive. All professional masks are made for each wrestler, taking measures of their faces.
It's a fantastic subculture! I'm a seamstress, and, when I was young, I dreamed about being an apprentice to a mask maker! Haha.
I'm in the middle of watching the episode, but had to stop and write my comment 😅
I'm a bit offended that the show portrayed cuban and mexican as the same, when we are two different cultures, but the show was created by white people, so it's not surprising.
Thank you for making my days more bearable, Jenn and James! ❤
im not surprised that they got mexicans and cubans wrong the same as how do i put this? we broke every treaty we ever had with the native Americans and the native Americans were and still treated horribly (trail of tears anyone?) anyways its not surprising that the right wants to erase historical facts like that because it makes the whites look bad and America look bad and we cant have that now can we?
The East Berlin section is absolutely wild to me, as a German. I was born after reunification. Everything I've learned was that the GDR was not the best place and people tried all kinds of ways to get out (one family even built a hot air balloon), but no one is demonizing it the way this show is doing. That's really not necessary to do.
It's also important to note that in the way reunification was handled, West Germany gobbled up the resources, factories etc., causing the eastern regions of Germany which used to be GDR to be economically disadvantaged. People there want to work, but the work wandered away, so the people left as well (broadly speaking, it's a bit more complex than that).
Honestly, I don't think they did any research on the GDR at all. What they portrayed is just so far off the mark that it's just sad.
What really baffles me (as a German who was born a few years before the unification) is how the minimize the problem of West Berlin specifically? Instead of letting the communists shoot at the Tuddle's I would have shown the Air-Support that was done by the Allies, because of how West Berlin was surrounded by East Germany basically? Also how people not only used Air-Balloons to fly over to east germany but how specifically in Berlin people dug tunnels, used emptied out car seats and many other really clever things to get to West Berlin and from there to West Germany.
Like "look everyone wanted freedom and capitalism!" (which we also know is not true).
Also I like to imagine what would had happened if in the death strip of Berlin suddenly a tank appeared and a racoon in an american helmet attacked a soldier of the East German military. I think they would have sent the bomb.
Grandma Gabby rants and raves, but I'll bet you cash money she's on Medicare.
And Social Security!
The reference to the white spider and communist condor sounds like a history reference from the Russian Revolution.
The whites were the czarist troops and the red troops were lead by Trotsky. How the writers expect kids to comprehend the nuances of a foreign war that happened over a century ago and is very much rushed over in most schools, much less fundamentalist home schooling is beyond me.
just like how kids would be interested in politics they cant vote yet and would be more interested in playing and hanging out with friends than listening to a cartoon on politics
@@PokemonRules333 yeah, most kids don't know much about politics and governmental systems. My daughter does but I take her with me to go vote and she asks questions and I answer them. I do however accept she is in the minority on this. She's running for treasurer of her middle school. She is the exception though.
Most kids aren't politically aware on the majority of issues. They just want their phones.
Well they really don’t know how children work so yeah
Responding to not watching Frasier with "I was not raised by old people." Super relatable

At least here in Finland, the libertarians shouted and criticized that Finland did wrong when it gave the vaccines for free and didn't demand payment in exchange for the right to receive a vaccine that alleviates symptoms and contained the pandemic. This quickly angered the Finns because the libertarians wanted to make big money and profit from people's suffering. Maybe in a bigger country like the USA, such voices are heard more weakly because they are muffled by the larger masses?
My mom decided to bake desserts every single weekend during lockdown.
James, remember that fundies consider qualities like 'gentle and indulgent' and 'not bossy' and 'friend' to be bad parenting, so if they read the same passage you did (nice job digging that up, btw), they might consider him a terrible father. Or like another commenter mentioned, they might be referring to him as the "father of communism".
Find someone who looks at you the way James looks at Jen ❤
Couple Goals for sure! ♥️ To be two kind, loving, genuine people. To not necessarily agree with a person or idea yet be respectful, candid and humble.
Jen has impressed me for over a year. As a person raised to believe in Christianity, I have vacillated at times between faith and doubt. I’ve now settled somewhere comfortably between the two. I’ve always appreciated Jen’s kindness. Jen - Please keep faith in yourself, your divinity, your message, your goals, your humor and most of all your kindness. May all the love, peace, contentment and joy your heart can hold come to you. Heart felt thanks from Texas tonight. ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
@@rebeccavaldez9176this fellow Texan who still has faith but also doubt in the American church sees you 💙
I don't think so. Used to think they were cute. Loved the support he showed her when she appeared on Shiny Happy People. But Jen said "our channel" today and that felt like a first time. As I said in my comment above, I feel like he;'s riding her coattails at this point.
@CountryWatchdog I mean... didn't he quit his job for this? He works on it as much as she does probably. I wouldn't do it myself if I had a youtube but she seems happy this being a two person channel and to let someone else do the work half the time. As I said, I'd rather not see boyfriends/husbands join channels but he's not really just sitting there doing nothing.
James quit his job to do this full time. Jen clearly enjoys his help and having him on the show/ doing episodes. Plus it's nice to hear 2 different perspectives on some of this stuff.
17:46 haven’t finished the vid yet but I’m pretty sure the marx terrible father comment is due to the fact that his family was almost always poor and some of his kids died from poor health due to their poverty, which conservatives generally paint as marx being lazy and refusing to work so he can mooch off engles while his children starved, it’s a petty and ill-informed jab but I’m not surprised they made it lol
My first thought was: Are they confusing him with Trotsky or someone like that? Socialists/Marxists/etc. are all the same, right.
The way the line is delivered seemed to imply gabby is marx's child
That is funny because my mums main criticism of why she doesnt have to give a shit about philosophers and theorists Like Marx is because they are too rich to work and "have the time" to write their books
That same mum wanted me to Go to Uni despite that obvious disdain for education, so thats Led to some interesting Dinners in the past few years...
Hi Jen, I'm a sys admin. If you'd like, I can try to help you get access to the footage on that drive.

Real Thanksgiving fact from an (real) American:
We didn't have capitalism before the colonizers came here.
We had no homeless people.
We had no starvation (outside of a famine).
We helped the unbathed ⚪ people from their starvation because we had overplenty.
And because if they turn wendigos... Theres only one recourse for that.
Hold up i need a minute. The "Thanksgiving was actually about giving up socialism" thing wasnt just something they made up for the cartoon? They pulled it from a wider belief among American libertarians?
Oh wow. Wheeew boy.
Edit: rush "ive been dead for years now" limbaugh!! My god. How did I never hear about this particular flavor pf historic revisionism before??
I appreciate that James puts "wresting fan" above "decent person" in his list of ways that Tuttle Twins will not mesh with him.
Please have James do an episode on Christian Wrestling. It was a thing. 😂

If these people are Mormon, the whole "women working is good :)" thing confuses the hell out of me. Mormon women being pressured into staying home with the kids is one of the biggest reasons why MLMs are so popular in Utah.
The child labor doesn't surprise me at all, though. Lots of busts on high-profile Utah companies for using child labor these days.
Fun fact. We had penpals on both sides of the Berlin wall. I now have part of the wall and the old barbed wire.
i keep waiting for yall to point out that karl marx's theory of communism is DESCRIPTIVE not PRESCRIPTIVE!! all he ever said was "these are the problems inherent to capitalism and socialism/communism will be the next evolution"
Exactly! And a lot of his ideas were already being discussed, so even if he hadn't written capital, the ideas were already out there
"Conservative Entertainment"
Not just an oxymoron, but also one of the "mountains" in the seven mountains mandate!
I’m happy you called out the Tuttle Twins for that. As someone who was raised in a Fundamentalist Christian family and environment, I wish more people knew about the Seven Mountains of Dominion
@@rachel_sj tbh though the whole 7 mountains thing sounds like the plan of a saturday morning cartoon villain
14:40 Libertarianism means “I got mine, screw everyone else.”
Thank you. I am from a conservative area of the country. I am very familiar with the concept of “If You don’t work, you don’t eat.” I also have relatives that believe mental health and addiction problems are a choice. They shame people who don’t work because they are on disability or because they can’t afford to live with using food stamps or Medicaid. Also, they feel abortion is wrong. I don’t understand how people can be so narrow minded and cruel.
I get so angry when I even think of how awful they have treated others. Everyone deserves to eat and have a decent home. How can someone expect others to work if they are hungry and are worrying about not having electricity. Makes no sense to me to also force women to raise children on nothing because they were forced into motherhood. It’s idiotic.
Is taking drugs not a choice?
@@mo.ka.9661the first time, perhaps. But given how much we’ve learnt about the genetic aspect of addiction, and how many people in the US are addicts as a result of legally prescribed medication from trusted medical professionals (just about 18% of all US citizens, nearly 1 in 5), or how poverty and drug abuse are almost inherently linked thanks to certain actions on the part of some three letter government organisations, it’s hard to completely condemn.
If someone tries heroin on a random Tuesday because they just felt like it, yeah. That’s stupid. But how often do you actually think that happens with no other factors involved?

it is _insane_ that anyone could look at the "sick kid needs help" angle they got here and think that it is somehow a bad thing to help the kid. not to mention all the objective lies.
Kevin Sorbo filmed part of a movie in the building where my spouse used to work. He was a colossal douche to everyone and got mad when people weren’t in awe of his presence. There’s a reason Sam Rami doesn’t work with him anymore.
The reason why they struggle to explain complicated issues within 25 minutes for a kids show is because having to actually think and do it unbiased research would destroy every talking point they have

I was actually an extra in God’s Not Dead (4) We The People, they were filming in 2021 when the blizzard happened and Texas froze over.
Funnily enough, I was also an extra in Reagan, in the scene that Kevin Sorbo is in!
I watched the ad anyway. Thank you for the cat cameo! Didn't know moths were associated with bisexuals. Cool.
They made Marx into a Walmart version of Hans Doofenshmertz from Finneas and Ferb. Sad.
Thank you for giving me enough to say about the Tuttle Twins that my parents discarded them as media appropriatefor my little siblings.
One thing I find really funny about this show is that there's a character that's similar to her in the Blue Beetle movie (eccentric grandma character that can use a mini gun) with one critical difference; she's on the opposite end of the spectrum politically. She was a revolutionary that fought "the imperialists".
Forget Karl Marx, I want to see the fight between Granny Gabby and Nana Reyes.
Glad to hear Colin Mochrie backed out. He's a vocal trans ally so I'm sure he didn't realize what he was getting into with that company.
As someone who randomly sings “God’s not dead he’s surely alive!” just constantly in my daily life, loved James saying it as soon as heard Sorbo, me too James.

Ooh I was taught the "pilgrims almost died because some of them didn't want to work" thing when I was a kid. I don't remember exactly who taught it to me as a kid.

I feel like whomever is writing this show has the same understanding about the american colonial as a non-american. We know something happened but we don't know the details, so they just wing it
Ya they do got a fourth graders understanding of the historical subject. Cause 4th graders make hand Turkeys and pilgrim outfits and how they all ate food but nothing deeper or more complex.
As a New Hampshire native, I would love for these show writers to try and explain the libertarian disaster that was the Free State Project. Nothing says “successful political system” like bears overrunning your town!
"You see we are assholes and would prefer to not spend time with our friends than part with our wealth in order to share an experience. Friends aren't a motivation only money!"
I think the whole bad father thing is a reference to Karl Marx being called the father of communism.
FYI 😂Just checked, Kevin Sorbo lost work for his ‘christian ’ views and, paraphrasing ‘I wouldn’t have had any work if not for christian based filmmaker’s along with Hallmark Entertainment
It made rewatching Xena so hard because she and Hercules (played by Kevin Sorbo) had awesome chemistry. It’s such a shame…

Aww guys I am so sorry about the PC and I am hype for that games episode. Glad you are gonna take next week off for a holiday break.
In Japanese wrestling, strong man style, it’s against the rules to pull hair or punch each other with a closed fist, but they do slap the heck out of each other. Which is also cool
If only people could actually live pay check to pay check for 6 months just to get a taste of what it’s like to actually be poor. Then maybe they would understand
I heard of people doing this for lent, and for some it has the opposite effect: they mistake it for a game and boast how it was difficult but manageable.
I honestly thought the majority people did. We do. We run out of money before the next payday. I know we struggle but instead of focusing on what we don't have, appreciate what we do. Instead of gifts for our autistic 6,7,8 year old boys are making bags of basic needs for the homeless here in Pittsburgh. We live in a 1992 RV with 6 people. I am a little shook you consider us poor. There are people living under a box or blanket on the streets here.
Before anyone comes for me. My husband works 2-3 jobs. He's a navy vet. They just don't pay enough even with a good 30+ years of experience. I stay at home with my boys and homeschool. I just think I make sure they're not lost into a system at public schools.
Excuse me while we doordash so we have something for dinner and no one tips
@@shanikaclark4804Good for you, Shanika. Our son is autistic too. He has learning disabilities, too. I write this on holiday in Egypt, where we are spending two weeks holiday with him. We have also taken him to France and Greece many times - from the UK - and I am bursting with pride at how wonderfully well he is doing. He even drove at night in some frankly terrifying small vehicle, in the desert, not long after his first, and I suspect only, solo ride on a camel. He is 32 now, so let me tell you that the age of your lads is the time we found hardest. Just keep putting one foot in front of the other until bedtime! (Bedtime, haha.) We had no need to homeschool - the special schools in our area are phenomenal, as was his college, and the programme in which he takes part now. I realise how fortunate we are, though. Anyway, he is the least materialistic person we know. All he needs is love, and the occasional chocolate ice-cream. He's bloody lovely, as I am sure are your sons. I think you sound like a marvellous family, and I am so impressed by your work for others. I wish you, and your family, all the very best; and remember, things DO get easier! xxxx
And somehow we have to get them to live paycheck to paycheck for 6 months WITHOUT KNOWING how long it’ll last. Because that’s part of the shitty hopeless feeling of it all and thinking is this going to be forever? And if so then what kind of life is this? It contributes so much to the despair and stress.
@@cb8060 It's super easy to have a low income for a week, when you can prepare for it.
Wow, James when you said you were a weird Republican child who would have liked it, I almost fell out. I too was a weird Republican kid. I was part of the young Republicans and worked with local politicians during elections. Also worked the polls. So embarrassing now. I am so far left now that I am falling off the edge.
I’m cracking up SO HARD 53:13 AT JAMES STANDING UP and Jen saying “you’re not a citizen!!” 😂🤣😂🤣😂
“I WAS NOT RAISED BY OLD PEOPLE!!” 😂
As someone who isn't from the US and was a huge Xena fan in my childhood, I always thought the Xena series came before the Hercules series! Because Xena was broadcasted more and before Hercules in my country, I thought Hercules was actually an afterthought series born from Xena's success.
Re: Kelsey Grammar's conservatism - I'm surprised neither of you knew about An American Carol. I think about it everytime he or anything Frasier-adjacent comes up in conversation. I saw it in theaters and I'm doomed to never forget about it.
just went back and watched the original tuttle video and i was thinking about how much i couldn’t wait to see this specific video, i’m so glad it’s out now
Another Thanksgiving propaganda is the belief that the Pilgrims were escaping religious persecution. Actually, they disliked the religious tolerism of Holland. Thanksgiving as a holiday was started in the 19th century, not the 17th century.
The way James looks at Jen when they talk about wrestling history ❤🥺 (i want what they have)
Recently got into amateur wrestling in Cleveland, Ohio. ITS SO FUN. I’ve never been a “wrestling person”, but this is legit my favorite thing 😂
My ex used to say he had to watch his soaps (soap operas) and would turn on pro wrestling 🤣🤣🤣
I am so glad I had seen both of James’ Angel Studio video because when I went to see the film “Life After Death” on a last minute whim, it had no marketing that it was Angel Studios (on my theater’s website). I was annoyed at first once I realized after it started but I stayed because I was curious about the stance they were going with, and it was okay until some of the experts became religious. The pay it forward ticket thing was with that film too! Oh that was creepy sitting through. And they put it in a place at the end where it’s incredibly awkward and almost shameful if you walk out during it- like you are walking out during the actual film.
I really hate that this horrible grandma character shared my name 😂but at least we don’t share a full name but as a Gabi, she has brought shame to my name.
I am so looking forward to the PC episode. Growing up in a religious household at a time when “video games led to sin”, I was allowed to play Bible video games on the Philips CD-I console. The games were WILD and I highly recommend looking into them if you’re able to get your hands on them for a reasonable price
Thanks!
THANK YOU FRIEND! And apologies on the delay, we just learned how to see the Super Thanks lol😅
I love the wrestling talk from James. I hope we get more from him.
I'm gonna need more wrestling content from James. There has to be more connections out there
I think the most expensive wrestling tickets I ever bought were $75 for low 100 levels, this is the tuttle’s wrestlemania
I'm so sorry to hear about your technological troubles! We'll all look forward to that episode. Hopefully can get your footage back.
Jenna telling James 5 mins or less, then proceeding to interrupt James every 5 seconds is very relatable; I'm Jenna.
I think Sorbo's Puritan character saying that people weren't properly incentivized by starvation is good news that we won't die for our capitalist overlords. We will lay down and die in the furrows as long as it means we get some fucking rest.
Thanks for the video! The way a kids' show managed to misrepresent the horror of the late GDR shooting strips near the wall and putting the papercut Marx grandkids in Lederhosen just shows their ignorance and lack of nuance. The way Thanksgiving was forced to fit into their libertarian narrative was painful. The moral of the story leading to an individualistic procapitalist solution that makes it seem being sick or unable to work is lack of ambition somehow and the selective charity for the one specific child being portrayed as a nice thing just hurt my brain. I do want to see more of your commentary on this madness though!❤
If Mr Fridays himself ever made a channel to deep dive wrestling history, I would happily watch!
Wait a second! Grandma Gabby was IN THE MATCH! Why did any of these kids need to buy tickets?!? Even if she just gave her family seats to her grandkids, that couls have been seats for the tonsil kid and one other at least! THIS IS SUCH BULLSHIT!
If you guys see an episode of the Tuttle Twins where grandma goes back in time to the 1950s, when the top income of the richest Americans was taxed at 90% and somehow that wasn't socialism because that's when America was great, please do a react video for it!
I’m grateful for more Tuttle Twins commentary.
Incrdible what you find when you research things and find credible sources that isn't personal hateful rhetoric. Thank you for the deep dive!
My partner recently got back into wrestling, and i ended up watching some w him for the first time at 32. I loved rhea ripley and that got me interested, then i fell in love with dominic mysterio...then becky lynch...and it's just grown from there. It's really fun and interesting.
I, for one, would love to see King James do some purely wrestling content - is there any chance of something like that in the future? (Or maybe some kind of future crossover, if the material to support it exists?)
A channel that chronicles the history of WWE would be a dream
Love you guys on Fundie Fridays!! ❤⭐️
I'd also like to place an order with Ethan & Emily's MOM for 500 free tamales. If I sell them for $2/ea, I can get an extra $1,000 this weekend. Down a few bucks for the ones I eat, of course.
I can only associate "God's not dead" with the time I went to see it with my friend's church and then I blew chunks all over the bathroom because I caught a stomach bug.
I love you guys so much thank you for your awesome content … so the weirdest thing about them slamming socialism is that the whole set up of angel studios is socialism crowd funding … so weird…
Private charity is not socialism
the way jen said "IWASNOTRAISEDBYOLDPEOPLE" has me on the fLOOOORRR hahaha
To say this was a wild ride is…well, it’s an insult to Mr. Toad, certainly. Thank you for unmasking the utterly deranged children’s propaganda outlet that is the Tuttle Twins. As always, delightful, informative, and galvanizing. Big hugs to you both!
The intro James quote just drew me in instantly.
These two are just absolutely delightful, I want to marry both of them.
Hey! I’m a huge fan of you two! Also, thought you should know that my brother-in-law is a pro wrestling referee, and has been for years! Did tons of local shows in southern Indiana, then worked for Jeff Jarrett in Nashville with TNA, then moved to WWE (probably this last 8-10 years)
