We Read Your Most Embarrassing Stories, Reviewing our Smash Tournament - Underdogs Podcast #66

[@artycko5289]

I was confused as to why there were two Jacksons until Nick introduced himself. They look so much alike at that angle.

[@imaadhaq540]

lmfao fr

[@TsukumoYatsuhashi]

it's the nose

[@sarimsalman2698]

Nick looks like Zack and Cogger combined

[@kingblaze420]

Me too!

[@aka_Ingmar]

FACTS

[@LegoAnimalCrossing]

I can’t believe Nick is back on the podcast

[@mryeet2320]

You guys should buy a dvd version of shallow hal and put it on one of the shelves

[@pdaaaa]

07:05 will forever be my favourite Jordan moment

[@magic3734]

Cogger and Nick look similar, but more in a "a good character design can be told by their silhouette"

[@shoe43]

it’s been 57 episodes but nick is back

[@GaelGomez_-_-_]

In sync Cogger And Red pilled sigma Hopcat at 0:36

[@Wolfpack_-gp5ij]

That was weird

[@darokolghai7942]

20:59 Hi Peter, I know I'll sound like a nerd but I'm telling you to keep you informed not to correct you 😭 Jumping the shark isn't starting off with your best leaving you with nothing to follow it up with, Jumping The Shark means doing some outlandish (usually ridiculous) thing as a last-ditch effort. It refers to an episode of a sitcom called Happy Days, they were losing a lot of watch time on tv so they made one of the characters who had a whole arc about not needing to get the attention and approval of others literally jump shark-infested water in look of attention, defeating the purpose of his character development. (All of this to stay popular)

[@potassiumpotato9200]

Wtf

[@ejm25]

jackson looking a bit different this week

[@samuelvoisey2128]

I think u mean zack

[@krino45]

people missing the joke is funny

[@TheCrashbandicoot36]

Between the Underdogs stories and the Patreon stories, it was super hard not to laugh like a maniac at work. Thanks for the epic stories guys.

[@Chisato-Supremacy]

Petition for Jackson’s car to be the super blooper

[@pieman1227]

Replayed my cartridge of Yellow version over the course of a couple weeks. Gotta say, it was very enjoyable despite its slow pace (I’ve been playing Emerald Rogue for a while, so massive change of pace). I did a lot less grinding than I remembered having to do, and beat the Elite Four with an very underleveled team- my highest level was lower than Lorelei’s lowest level. VERY satisfying.

[@aka_Ingmar]

Jordan looks at Nick: you're dumber than me IMMEDIATELY makes a dumb statement not knowing the difference b/w Carbs and Fiber.

[@erickbalbuena8679]

glao to see nick back, its been so lomg

[@magic3734]

I really like it when Zack isn't in a video, cause there yet to succeed in the video not falling apart

[@omlett6482]

Nick transformed the Poppt1 Question of the week into an engineering problem called "Garbage in Garbage out" lmaoooo

[@rhanimation4123]

another sick episode so far! but the thumbnail says ep 65 when it’s 66

[@8xMorladumx8]

Ngl, my favorite part of these are the beginning where i say along with the announcer: "PODCYYAAST" xD

[@an-zhispieker190]

Nick's embarrassing story is up there with Zack's music tour dubstep disaster

[@cole5274]

the phrase "jumping the shark" comes from the show happy days, when the character Fonzie jumps over a shark on water skis. It basically means what peter said where they did something so ridiculous that it shows theyre running out of ideas and are unable to come up with new engaging things

[@rogue9955]

Bro I've been wanting nic back on the pod for awhile glad to see he's back Also happy late birthday nic!

[@missingno_LLC]

Zack is looking a tad off. Was he a little sick today?

[@pokemaster2352]

Nah he got a fresh cut

[@redduskironsky1058]

He is missing his dumptruck and that hairy gut🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@trollwholivesu7258]

Yeah, he was in a different room

[@zenixtheking3262]

I've finally caught up on the pod after not watching when they started, hi Peter 🙌🏾

[@echomov]

Talking about the "games falling off" topic, this is why games like TF2 and CSGO still have a massive fanbase, they're simple but always fun. Only adding things when it's necessary or just cosmetics like skins and such and balance changes

[@jaidenpearson8494]

Peter your comms were unironically great

[@theunderwatercrew7553]

The King is Back!!

[@meowmeow4968]

ive been rewatching old podcasts and i dont think they sang the 2 and a half men song

[@Av_7903]

We need more Nick on the podcast

[@snuffystacks1282]

7:16 hi pod guys it's the resident psychology nerd again, Much unlike last time with the "Homopole", Jordan does actually have a point here with some scientific credibility (for once). One of the more prominent traits that make humans and chimps more intelligent than other animals is that we have mirror neuron systems in our brains. These brain systems make it much easier to understand others becuase they are the parts of the brain that allow us to feel the emotions of other people we witness (they are special neurons that allow us to "mirror" actions and emotions we witness). It's also what makes humans and chimps very social animals as we evolved these neurons to help us to understand other members of our "tribe" more easily. Jordan probably gets hyped up by the chimps moreso than a giraffe becuase his brain was able to identify what the chimps were doing as an emotion (excitement) compared to the giraffe becuase his brain didn't comprehend what the giraffe was doing as an emotion that could be mirrored. (much like last time this is total nerd emoji word soup, but i hope at least someone found this interesting)

[@adamabram3563]

Am i the only one who would like to see nick in more underdogs vids? I understand if he's not super confortable with it but it would be pretty dope. Great podcast yall are hilarious as usual!!

[@thegombagamer0224]

I don't understand how the kid was kick out of his band. He threw up after a all nighter he wasn't physically able to play. Maybe this process make there grade 11 band really good.

[@jacksonbakker9060]

Tell that to your auntie reference?! You love to see it!

[@Bestdestttv]

Missed Zach but loved Nick ~ best audio entertainment

[@vainbrawler7582]

Didn’t know Jackson has a younger brother

[@kaojb]

The last few years I've only played Pokemon games doing Nuzlocke challenges which I absolutely love but I can't imagine going back to playing without these self-imposed challenges. Also I've never played the original Gold/Silver/Crystal but I've heard many argue that for their time, Gen 2 games were really pushing the technology of the Gameboy color, as the developers had to fit 2 regions into a small cartridge.

[@LEAPFROG8462]

Why do i find myself trying to eat dinner while listening to 51:45. What lead me to this moment?

[@TazmaniacYT]

Oh yeah I don’t have any friends from high school anymore too. And for anyone still in high school now, so many of the people that you are super tight with now in school, you may never hang out with again after school

[@hyphen8d725]

Happy Late Birthday Nick!

[@TazmaniacYT]

We’ll if you were both penguins I think you would look the same. I was dying! That is the most Jordan statement ever

[@piik2896]

I am an american that has traveled to europe. I was so hungry and thirsty throughout the entire trip the portions were so small. Granted Im 6'3" (190.5 cm) 190 lbs (86.18 kg) so I'm not exactly a small person, but I tried to order bigger things and it still was small. It was a lot healthier though and didn't taste as good, but thats probably just because I'm american.

[@elgilgil2287]

MUSE?!??! Peter is my favorite underdog

[@ebicgamer4398]

Hey does anyone know where I can watch the tournament where Peter was commentating?

[@sphenox3959]

catching up on all podcasts, episode 42 right now. just commenting here to let peter know that i am an audio only listener

[@willwispagaming8144]

🐵🐒 jordan getting excited

[@louisroy4911]

KZbin coming through suggesting me the Vine Boom short under the podcast!

[@vloodo1191]

Nick coming back on the underdogs podcast?!?!

[@keima7733]

Petition to bring back fear pong

[@WilliamL583]

Is there a vod of the tournament

[@ConTheFrogg]

On Poppts question of the week: When people were hunter gatherers and didn't have cultivated crops and such, their lifespans were much lower and they were much more prone to diseases caused by dietary deficiencies like lack of fiber and vitamin c. Also the food pyramid and dietary guides like that historically were sponsored by industries like milk farms and bakery chains to try and encourage the populous to purcahse more of their goods

[@Keystone762]

Fear pong was hilarious, maybe get viewer punishment suggestions if it runs dry

[@paperkraane]

poppt1 question of the week is on urban dictionary now

[@christianthompson2768]

Hmm I usually listen to the pod while eating breakfast before work... Nick's fun story made me wish I didn't today...

[@Milkboi420]

i saw you guys play 200cc mario kart on mute city and i feel like you guys would have fun on one of the newer f zero games it’s basically 300cc

[@rie442]

Need to know what tournament they were talking about

[@AnthonyLiftsjr]

Snuffles back at it

[@kaitowinterson1671]

Snuffles in a dark alley

[@10types]

I'm really hyped for the new Pokemon game coming out in 2 days tho

[@JohnnyHeracles]

Did bro say where did they get carbs 😂😂

[@jonkowalczyk147]

10:32 does he realize potatoes are not from Ireland?

[@atlasolesinski2025]

There is a left 4 dead sequel, it's called back 4 blood

[@liyotaman128]

No way nick is back

[@CrimZon20]

I wonder... because I'm watching on KZbin music do I hear the stuff they cut out? So many times they say this will be cut out or refer to another platform saying that they'll be able to hear that not the KZbin but I just heard it. Was it left in or is KZbin music special

[@Giezbro]

Is the tell that to your auntie podcast ever coming back?

[@farrelljohnson1431]

I didn't recognize Nick at first

[@farrelljohnson1431]

I was like two cogger

[@jacksonbakker9060]

Cogger, will there ever be a new episode of Tell That to Your Auntie?

[@MichaelSmith-hf2qp]

Unfortunately, based on the longevity of the Jackass series I think Fear Pong is going to hold up.

[@infernoleopard3524]

The thing with Pokémon is that they found the infinite money glitch of being the most popular media franchise base s around 1000 merchandisable characters where they will purely make money by just making more games that contain new Pokémon which in almost the way fifa has a 60 dollar game with so many micro transactions except the game is basically an add for plushies cards and basically anything else you can mass produce so as long as they make good Pokémon designs and don’t make a game egregiously bad (which they can do by just making very little innovation) they make profits and large ones at that

[@overgrowthj4612]

The thumbnail still says #65 btw

[@Giezbro]

Back on youtube bc there are ads in the spotify podcast.

[@farrelljohnson1431]

I part 2!!!!!!!(they have already used this title

[@JacobPDeIiNoNi]

I mean I think it’s not entirely accurate to say pokemon tries nothing new. Even in recent titles they’ve done a bit of open world stuff (though not implemented particularly well imo) and Pokémon being in the overworld was an interesting change. Even back with gen 7 before that they tried some new stuff with having totems instead of the traditional gym battles. But the main issue imo is that the core gameplay has just gotten uninteresting. Catching and battle mechanics remain mostly unchanged for the longest time. That’s why tears of the kingdom feels so different, your abilities and mechanics have been overhauled, which changes how you interact with EVERYTHING. But a Pokémon battle now is essentially the same as a Pokémon battle 20 years ago. The one exception is legends arceus, which did lots of innovation to the series core gameplay, but with how underpolished it was (not like that’s uncommon for modern Pokémon) it’s clear it’s just a side game that wasn’t going to significantly affect the main series gameplay despite how much many fans enjoyed the new stuff it brought to the table. And any other “changes” they try to make to the battle system are really nothing more than one off gimmicks (megas, z moves, dynamax, now terastalization)

[@MstrKipper]

Full agree with Peter on pokémon, I stopped playing in Jen 6 just because it didn't interest me as much. Mystery dungeon sky has been my favorite pokémon game since it came out

[@LadAussie]

I'm seeing double.... 4 Coggers!

[@zanebutler8717]

Where did the rheese monkey guy go

[@sparkachu4514]

Day 5 of asking for diss track bloopers

[@andrewgin9478]

As someone who kept up with the Pokemon anime, I think the good moments still hold up, but the average episode is just really boring and repetitive. I think Sinnoh is about where they start shaking up the formula with more drama and story but it still falls into the old formula a ton.

[@samuelvoisey2128]

Hi Peter

[@samuelvoisey2128]

Also happy 4 day late b-day nick

[@RubyAnanas]

I think i'm just a bit bored of the pokemon gameplay. The earlier games aren't better either, if i go back to play them i am stil bored. I think i have just played it too much, but I still like pokemon for the nostalgia and cuteness, and they also have great spin-offs like pokemon go and mystery dungeon. The enjoymnt of the main games is just over for me, but I don't think that's sad, it was bound to happen one day.

[@lewisarmitage9020]

I don't think Nick's story is that embarrassing, he barely avoided shitting himself and getting back on the bus. If anything it's more of a success story.

[@moz3169]

peter looks fresh

[@billybob6013]

I missed nick

[@itskai2575]

Nick and nick should be on the pod together

[@Ace71410]

HELLO UNDERDONGS THIS IS A HOT TAKE BUT FOR A POO JOKE YOU SHOULD CALL PETER HOPSHAT

[@Keystone762]

🔥🔥🔥

[@blootwo385]

Underdogs stop talking about shit just once in their lives challenge *Impossible*

[@Avianator]

with scarlet/violet, it felt better than like a few past gens, but when looking at non-pokemon games, it's just...leaving a lot to be desired i love the pokemon designs but the (non mystery dungeon) games are underwhelming

[@Exploding_dingdong]

wait thats not cogger

[@Exploding_dingdong]

i mean zack

[@TheRDprod]

Yo please have Nick on the podcast

[@malykwilson8119]

Well to the Pokémon point Pokémon has been doing new things but the execution has been weird. Like gen 6 added battle gimmicks gen 7 added no gyms and gen 9 we had the open world and also 3 main stories rather than just gyms. So Pokémon has been doing some things different there execution just hasn’t been the best. Also the game company doesn’t have a lot of time to make the new games because they are always on a tight schedule so unlike tears of the kingdom they didn’t have a lot of time to update everything

[@Parthian6]

GameFreak chooses quantity over quality. Zelda team chooses quality over quantity. The results speak for themselves.

[@calapai7]

Cringe Confessional: Down Under

[@jonfro-mez]

I desperately want a Pokemon game to flop hard so they might actually try for the next game they release. Unfortunately Scarlett and violet were successful so I don't see them improving the games any time soon.

[@minig5207]

COME BACK NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

[@Inksploded]

tbh music has just fallen off

[@jakedixon6671]
