Echo-Pod 7: The Unity of Opposites
🕑 Added 2023-11-18 18:32:21 +0000 UTCThis episode of the echo pod took forever because someone decided to give me a topic that could literally be anything. Sometimes there is freedom within the bounds of specificity, and paralysis in the infinite. I call that the Curse of The Endless. The point is some guy requested a topic so philosophically broad i had to record it half a trillion times just to get a recording that was under 3 hours.
Now when i click that guy's name it says he's not even here anymore. Oh I'm sorry, did my pontificating not manifest into entertainment immediately enough? This dude apparently wanted me to ponder the truth of the whole entire universe right away, lest he get bored and wander off to confound some other scholar. Well if he ever shows up here again, he'll find his quagmire solved, or at least commented on clownishly, which is all i promise to any of you.
The whole thing was pointless because now that the nightmare of recording this is behind me i realize i overthought the whole thing, because i could have just posted a link the Opposites Attract video by Paula Abdul and MC Skat Kat. That pretty much says it all, and closed the book on this topic like 30 years ago.

Rendering it all even more pointless, next someone asked about Ren and Stimpy, which also could have easily been the answer to the first ridiculous topic. If i may culturally appropriate from the rabbis, oy vey. Then I talk about wrestling again, the only thing i truly understand about this broken world. Asuka is cool. That's all that really matters.

The production history of Ren and Stimpy is truly an epic saga and I highly recommend reading "Sick Little Monkeys: The Unauthorized Ren & Stimpy Story" by Thad Komorowski. It goes into way more detail than the documentary. It's like an animation history book. You get more than just Ren and Stimpy. The book begins with the rise and fall of the golden age of American animation and how Ralph Bakshi and John K. basically pulled up TV animation from the gutter.
