Episode 169 - Type 2 Jediabeetus — Here's What I Don't Get

Welcome to another episode of Here’s What I Don’t Get About Sonic, the only formerly non-hedgehog-related podcast to tackle all of the issues of the Blue Blur’s universe. On this week’s episode, we discuss Sonic’s recipe for chili dogs and finally tackle the big issue: Who’s the sexiest ancillary Sonic character? So join us as we go fast and collect just enough rings to stay alive until the boss fight, Todd in his Floating MegaVape Pod.

* Sneaky Political Ads
* Robert's Rules of Order
* DC's 5G
* Conflating SciFi and Fantasy

Imagine you’re sitting at home. You’ve cooked up a nice steak dinner, You’re sitting down, and you throw on the finale to Netflix’s hottest new show. You’re watching intently as the serial killer stalks a detective through a dingy warehouse. "This is great" you think to yourself, as the tension ramps up. Then, the serial killer steps on a rusty nail and yells out in pain! The camera moves in on his face, and he says: “Man, that smarts. Too bad I can’t afford an expensive private health insurance plan.” Whip-pan over to the detective and say “But if you vote for Roberts in 2024, everyone will get free healthcare!” THIS NETFLIX SERIES WAS PAID FOR BY THE COMMITTEE TO ELECT JOHN ROBERTS.

If unions have to follow Robert’s Rules of Order as written, they’re not worth it. Tim almost blew his brains out this episode just based on Tab’s retelling of his 4 hour long union meeting. Like many ancient laws they need to be rewritten, simplified, and updated with modern language. Who the hell says “aye” anymore outside of voting? I submit we change “aye” and “nay” and upgrade them to “Fo’shizzle” and “Bitch Are You For Real?!”.

Everyone loves a reboot. Except that we don’t. They think we do because everyone tunes in to see exactly how they’re gonna screw it up which leads to big sales which must mean it’s great! Sales slump? Reboot it again! Gender-swapped, race-swapped reboot time! Oh did that fail? Huh. People must really be missing these old characters, well let’s REBOOT IT AGAIN BUT THEY’RE ALL YOUNG! HOW ABOUT THAT? REBOOTS FOR EVERYONE!

Science fiction and fantasy are two separate things. Unfortunately because they are both seen as “geeky” they get thrown in with one another. I say this has been going on for too long! They should be separate! But equal. Sci-fi should have it’s own part of town, and then fantasy can live on the other side. Without as many resources. Do you think sc-ifi wants to drink the same water as fantasy? No! We keep them separate. But equal!
