16:55 it's like when um and it it happened to most of us I think when once I had to go to UC Irvine I didn't have a TV that connected to the actual like it was just to the internet oh so I would I would just connect it to my PS3 at the time and that's all I could watch cuz we didn't have like a cuz remember by that time you had to buy actual cable if you were like renting a at a house you'd have to like buy cable and then you have to plug it in I stopped watching TV when my dad left my mom could afford bills oh really yeah every time I turned it on only I think only porn po up yeah porn I would have watched it all the time suddenly only porn pops up yeah that's kind of crazy that's tight cuz his grandpa was there smoking a cigarette all right old school X-Men and Spider-Man oh oh

17:46 yeah did you like the new X-Men 97 I watched a few episodes I heard it was good it was it was good but like I think when you're a kid it was everything you remember the first episode though with Jubilee that was like yeah the Sentinels is that how you got your name jumi no um you know what though Saturday morning cartoons were extra special for me because I couldn't watch it yeah me too I didn't so like the only time I could watch it was like maybe I slept over a friend's house that I didn't go to church with on Saturday and then we would watch it and it was like it was a trip that's why I was so happy when they moved Bobby's World to like normal cartoon times cuz it was always Saturday morning dude one the last things I remember watching consistently was like SpongeBob cuz I was getting older already but SpongeBob was so good I I

18:36 kept watching it especially when you're stoned dude it's so funny you know what was sick as kids ████ WWE oh yeah WWF WWF with a nation a federation and Farooq yeah the Hulk Hogan days was like the Golden Era even the WCW was fun during that era was Sting and ████ damn I never got to see WWF when I was a kid cuz my parents didn't yeah same I had to yeah I had to go to a friend's house same with Married with Children my parents hated it So I Married with Children was tight though was funny as much understand the satire of it they thought it was really like he was that way throwback yeah together like a horse and watch it's really funny because it's so absurd now like it's easier to like get yeah movie called Blue should we make no ma shirts no no
