Alright, you probably don't know me and this video might come in your recommender suggested but hello. I'm Dr. Skipper and this is Cartoon Network Iceberg. Skipper, what's an iceberg? Skipper, what kind of bird is that? Skipper. Look, look, look, look. We'll pick apart all of this soon, but please wait and hold on while I address the base audience first.   And I'm really, really grateful honestly. I'll talk more about this at the end of the video, but I just want to let you guys know I'm appreciative. And for the new people also watching, you can subscribe if you want by recommending you wait until the end of the video and make up your mind then. But to those who have no idea what an iceberg is, let me explain. An iceberg is a tierless covering most known facts to least known. And to those watching this video, this video is going to be more of me talking than attention span editing.  I've joked about this being pretentious twice, but I'll do it again. Is this egotistical? Absolutely. Now with that, let's get to the first layer of the iceberg. The cul-de-sac kids are actually dead. This is a theory about the kids within the cul-de-sac and how they actually dead and how their lives are held in a purgatory-like setting. According to the theory, the children from the cul-de-sac each held from different era spanning from the 1900s to early 2000s. This would explain why the year for the show is very hard to pinpoint. And also, there wasn't that many adults in the show, although you do catch a glimpse of one every now and then. So the theory starts with Rolf arriving first in the 1900s. The theory goes that his family moved to Peach Creek in order to establish a farm on the land. Rolf died around 1993 when his family's farm animals stampeded and trampled him. This was the supposed reason to why he has only one cow, one goat, and a few pigs, and a few chickens. Johnny IIxIV came to the cul-de-sac not too long after Rolf's death. Having no friends, Johnny took a marker and drew a face on a piece of wood and dubbed it Plank. He died in 1922 after fighting a long battle with tuberculosis, six years before the discovery of penicillin. He took his friend Plank with him in the afterlife since that's the last thing he saw in life before he died. Purgatory would also explain Plank's occasional sentient behavior, which is most notable demonstrated in the movie. Eddie came next. He was born in New York, but eventually moved to Peach Creek during the Great Depression era. Always trying to get a quick buck, he always set up scams to get money for the cul-de-sac kids in an amphirtic scape of poverty that he spent his whole life in. Eddie didn't have a proper father figure since his real life father abandoned him and his mother shortly after. With this came the big bro he adored and idolized so very much despite the later abuse of nature. After one of his scams went airy, Eddie was chased and swindled by the children of the cul-de-sac and ran to the lake and jumped into it. Eddie ends up drowning in the lake and he soon joined the other deceased children in the afterlife. Although Eddie's no longer alive, he still tries to chase the almighty dollar. Continuing his swindle nature in the afterlife. Ed and Sarah were the next to arrive at the cul-de-sac. Their father had died fighting in World War II and as a result, their mother became distant and disconnected. To cope, Sarah developed her bossy attitude, trying to fill the role that their parents used to fill before their father died and mom stopped caring. Conversely, Ed shut the world out and developed into fantasy worlds of comic books and monster movies, which exploded in popularity during the time after World War II. He relied on fantasy to escape his unhappy life. They both died in a freak car accident in 1953, thus joining the past kids and death. Nas was born in the 1960s to hippie parents. Described as a flower child, she was rather flirtatious and would always act away towards the male children of the neighborhood. In the summer of 79, a serial killer escaped from a local asylum and made his way into her house and raped and murdered her along with her entire family.  Oh, okay. Ed slash double D was born in the 70s when preparing to attend college from a young age. He was raised by very strict and controlling and emotionally distant parents. They pushed him to succeed academically and to be perfectly clean and neat. He's believed to have died as a result of a ghastly causing an explosion in the Bunsen burner from his chemistry set. Kevin was born around the early 1980s. He was born to a broken down house. He had an abusive father who was poorly educated. His mother had passed away when he was a year old. Because of his situation at home, Kevin would act his frustration on the other kids at the cul-de-sac becoming a bully to cope with his anger. One night in the winter of 99, his father fatally beat him in a drunken rage. While on his way to the hospital, his father was then convicted of murder and was sentenced to life in prison. These were just a couple of examples. There's other pieces of evidence that point to this theory. For example, the children having green and blue tongues and the tongue does in fact turn up blue a shade when you die. Also, there's a complete lack of adults or even other children. Also in the earlier seasons, the summer is endless and the whole series takes place in the same era. Of course, if we're gonna put on our realistic hats, yeah, this might be cap. Where this does come off as complete creepypasta, I think this is also a little bit fun to imagine.  If this was the actual conceptual thing of the TV show, that's interesting.  Johnny Bravo and Bollywood. Johnny Bravo goes to Bollywood is the name of an 11 minute short and an hour long special that aired in India. Both the short and the special share the similar plot but are very different. The short was a subsequent special that were made to capitalize on the series called Popularity in India where reruns of Johnny Bravo still air pretty consistently. The character has become something of a beloved pop culture icon in the country embodying the overtop nature of India's cinema. The special serves as both a parody of Indian and American pop culture as well as a loving tribute to India and Johnny Bravo. Well, yeah, that's pretty cute. I mean, I'm gonna be honest, growing up as a 2002 kid, I don't know that much about Johnny Bravo. Don't get me wrong, I grew up with everything else from the chowders to the courageous, especially the regular shows and adventure times but Johnny Bravo's a little bit out of my range. So to anybody who's older in the comments, can you tell me more about your reaction to this? I barely even watched Johnny Bravo as a kid so you might hate me for this. Shoot me, my hands are up. Over the Garden Wall. Okay, this one is very personal to me. There's actually a video on my channel and I'll even link it right here, you could click it. And this goes to my video about Over the Garden Wall. Over the Garden Wall, I think is the best cartoon on Cartoon Network. It was a mini series and it's fantastic. It covers from themes of Dante's Inferno talking about childhood, of like childhood versus teenage years. It's beautiful. It's a well-crafted and beautiful, beautiful, beautiful show. And you should really watch my video on this. I'm happy to see this on the iceberg because not that many people know about Over the Garden Wall. Like, I mean, fuck, I didn't even know about Over the Garden Wall recently. I found it a year ago when a friend recommended it to me and that kind of just changed my whole perspective of the show. Ted Turner. Ted Turner was the original creator of Cartoon Network in 2001 and then he was kicked out. That's pretty much it. I don't even know. I guess this is just kind of like a quick little, quick fact. Sure, I mean he's the creator. I don't know what else to say. With that though, that's the end of layer one but you better stick with me because we're gonna be going to layer two right now. All right, you sticking with me? Okay, sweet. Boston Incident. The head of Cartoon Network resigned Friday following a marketing stunt that caused a terrorism scare in Boston and led to the police to shut down bridges and send in the bomb squad. The announcement of Jim Sample's resignation came in an internal memo to Cartoon Network staff members. It's my hope that my decision allows us to put this chapter behind us and get back to our mission of delivering unrivaled original animated entertainment for the consumers of all ages, said Samples, who was the network's general manager and executive vice president. He said he regretted what happened and felt compelled to step down and effective immediately. In recognition of the gravity of the situation I cured under my watch. Dozens of blinking electronic devices showed a crude cartoon character that had been painted in 10 cities as part of a guerrilla marketing campaign to promote the cartoon, Aqua Teen Hunger Force. But when Boston authorities got a series of calls about the devices on January 31st, they feared that the circuit boards with wires could be explosives. Cartoon Network's corporate parent acknowledged a few hours into the scare that boards were harmless and it was a part of a marketing move. On Monday, Turner, broadcasting and advertising agency involved agreed to $2 million in pay for compensation for the emergency responses and devices underspurt in Boston. The Cartoon Network is a division of Atlanta-based Turner broadcasting whose parent is media giant Time Warner. Two men who authorities say were paid to place the devices in Boston have pleaded not guilty to placing a hoax device into sort of the conduct. Peter Burdowski, I hope I pronounced that right, 27, whose attorney said he had a videotape part of the police response and Sean Stevens, 28, are both free on bond. Boston police found 38 the blinking signs on Boston's bridges, Fenway Park and other high-profile spots. The magnetic lights depicting crudely drawn aquatine characters giving the finger. Those were also placed in nine other US cities for a publicity campaign.  The small signs had apparently been up for two or three weeks in Boston before the calls to authorities last week. So yeah, that's pretty weird. I'm gonna keep it real, I didn't know any of that before this. So, I guess I've already learned something, huh? Two in the AMPM. So two in the AMPM is actually pretty well known but for those who don't know, I'll tell you. I actually also cover this in a video about regular show. You can watch that as well. But two in the AMPM was an original short that ended up getting two regular show. It's about two store clerks who trip on acid and the voice actor for Mordecai turns into Mordecai and the voice actor for Benson turns into Benson. It's a cute little thing, but it's not a pilot. There's no connection to the original show or so we think.  Also, if you're a fan of regular show, tell me about it in the comments. Adventure Time takes place after a nuclear war. So the Mushroom War also referred as to the Great Mushroom War was an apocalyptic event that occurred roughly a thousand years before Adventure Time. The war crippled and eventually resulted in the annihilation of the human species that left the civilian ruins throughout the Land of U. Not much is known about the Mushroom War or the events leading up to it except that it ended with a mushroom bomb being dropped on what was once America, awakening the lich and ending most of the life on Earth. The episodes, Finn the Human and Jake the Dog, support this. As Finn wishes the lich, a product of the Mushroom Bomb never existed. This implies that either some of the country used the essence of the green catalyst comet to make the weapon or it was a regular nuke that released the evil essence upon explosion. When the wish is granted, Finn is transported to a world where Simon has sacrificed himself to stop the Mushroom Bomb and freeze the entire Earth in the process. Despite some construction without the detonation of the Mushroom Bomb, humanity continues to exist. Also, in Finn the Human, Farmworld Marcelline suggested the Mushroom Bomb likely concluded the war. As she states, the world would have been annihilated if Simon had not stopped it with his ice powers. The war likely ended approximately 1,000 years before the events of Adventure Time. Marcelline's flashback in Simon and Marcy is explicitly stated at time card in this episode that takes place 996 years before the actual setting. So when it comes to Simon and Marcy, that's probably one of my favorite episodes in the show. I think when it comes to Adventure Time, it has a lot of lackluster side quests to do, but actual main story elements of the show are so good. But yeah, that concludes Lair 2. This is a shorter one, but I should also give you a heads up. So a friend of mine named the hole in my garden is gonna be doing Lair 3. Will's a great person and he has a great channel. And after you finish this video, I recommend you see some of his content. I'll let him take Lair 3 for me, but I'll see you back at Lair 4. See ya.     Are probably a few of the questions buzzing for your head right now. Hello, I'm the hole in my garden and I've been brought on to do a few portions at this iceberg.  My channel is one that looks a lot of popular media specifically in regards to TV and animation, which if you can already tell correlates pretty well to the talking point of Cartoon Network.  You ain't here from me. You're here to get some Cartoon Network trivia.  Chowder lives in Greek mythology.   Even if you're not interested in mythology, a lot of those names definitely ring a bell. Pretty much the only evidence this presents as to why Chowder operates in this mythological continuity is a throwaway gag in the episode Purple Knurples. We're among first them over the city limits and it had them be picked up by a Titan holding out Marsupan Sea.  If you're educated or played God of War, you'd recognize this as a reference to Atlas, the great Titan of Greek myth who was forced to hold up the world as punishment from Zeus for his role in the war of Titans against the Olympians. Fun story, right? Could the same Atlas be the character we see in Chowder?  Clearly taking more influence from Eastern cultures.  I see it more as just a throwaway absurdist joke than an indication of a greater continuity. Chowder literally destroyed all time in one episode. It's not that deep. Cartoon Network invaded Nick. This one's probably one of the more interesting on the iceberg because it was just a complete power move from Cartoon Network. Both Cartoon Network and Nickelodeon had been rivals for years, both producing great shows respectively. And at the peak of their rivalry, Cartoon Network decided to exploit a loophole in their competition's advertising. Nickelodeon's ad spaces could be bought with any adverts from anyone, provided they could meet the criteria of standards and practices as well as the obvious cost of the slot. These ads weren't vetted through by Nick officials to my knowledge and were instead improved by standards and practices. Cartoon Network took advantage of this and paid for an ad slot on Nick to promote their Cartoon Cartoon Fridays programming block with the characters in the ad referencing the fact that they're on a foreign network and not supposed to be there. Not much to add aside from that, but it's definitely a power move from Cartoon Network, veering Nick's primary demographic from their channel into War's Cartoon Networks. Don't see big moves like that anymore. Tom dies. Boring one. This is just referencing the amount of times Tom has canonically died in Tom and Jerry cartoons. There's a Tumblr article that highlights this in more detail. I'll see if Skipper could include this in the description if you really want a dissection of all the time Tom's been marked by Jerry or Acts of God. I'm not going to there because I'm not a sadist. What was missing original script?  The episode's out and is popular among the community for sparking the idea of a romance between Marceline and Princess Bubblegum. Apparently, however, there was a banned version of this episode by the same name that featured a much less subtle insinuation that there was a relationship between the two. Standards and practices in 2011 were nearly as lenient on gay representation as they are today, so the original script was scrapped. The two's relationship has now become an official part of the Adventure Time canon, but back in the day, it was quite an incident, especially for Pendleton Ward's production company, Frederator, who had to give an official apology and a statement for insinuating the existence of the relationship in a behind-the-scenes video. Weird that something as minuscule as this garnered substantial controversy. Johnny Test Pilot.  The original Test Pilot for Johnny Test.  Never officially released as a full-length pilot. To this day, segments of the pilot exist in snippets and surprise.  Other than an Invader Zim song being audible during the pilot, there really isn't that much more to talk about with this one. Mr. Smoothie is a cannibal. Following up in disappointing topics, we have this one. I was super upset that this was in a creepypasta or a fan theory for something. Unfortunately, this one's just a fun bit of speculation or another case study in the art of reading too far into things. Or maybe just enough into things. I'm guessing that most of you are familiar with the Ben 10 franchise, so I'm not gonna go in-depth on that show just so I can spare you all from needless preamble. All that's relevant is that a reoccurring brand throughout the show is the character of Mr. Smoothie, a mascot designed to promote smoothies of all things. And if you've got a pair of functioning eyes and don't have a railway spike through your head, you'd be able to notice the obvious irony and unfortunate implications of a smoothie drinking a smaller smoothie that displays small signs of sentience. It's a funny thing to look at and point out to your friends, but once more there isn't that much depth to it. Candied Island is ooh. This is a fan theory that I believe started from Reddit user, TheNarWalking, on the fan theory subreddit. So credit to him for the section. The theory posits that the town in Flapjack is a settlement established by survivors of the Great Mushroom War, with the town being constructed with makeshift materials or shipwreck vessels. The Candied Islands that every character wants to go to is actually the continent of ooh, and talk of the Candied Islands as a result of stories of ooh being spread around and misinterpreted. We're many believing that the Candy Kingdom makes up all of ooh, thus leading characters like Peppermint Larry to nickname the single continent Candied Island. If you see where this theory is going, then it should stand out as an obvious point that the post posits Candy Wife as being an attempt to recreate Princess Bubblegum. Add to this more meta evidence like similar crew members such as Pendleton Ward and Patrick McHale. Surprisingly, I actually like this theory quite a bit. It's so obviously not true and only exists as canon within the heads of fans, but at the same time, there's nothing really to contradict it. So if you wanna believe it, you can and it makes for a fun bit of recontextualization on Flapjack's part. If you'd like to read about this in more detail, there may or may not be a link to the full post in the description. If not, I'll try and add it in the comments. Pizza Steve is naked. Oh boy, with a title like that, you'd expect something weird or interesting at the very least.  But no, looking at Pizza Steve is naked on Google hasn't really borne much fruit aside from a few unfortunate or funny, mostly unrelated finds.   Uncle Grandpa is Jesus. Oh hell yeah, with a title like that, you'd assume I've got a rapture where it'd be flood of info to share with you all about how Uncle Grandpa is Christ the Redeemer. But I've got bupkiss, nothing. Literally got nothing to talk about when it comes to Uncle Grandpa is Jesus. If I'm really stretching, and just borderline bullshitting, this is referencing to Uncle Grandpa being an omnipotent and omnipresent being who's the uncle and the grandpa of everyone in the universe. But that's extreme cap.  Unless any of you have anything to add about how Gus is a metaphor for St. Paul, then I don't have anything else to add. I don't know if theology or the Bible back to front so if any of you know what Saint and or devil belly bag represents, then leave it in the comments I guess. But that's all from me for now. I've got another layer coming up soon so if you like early Christmas presents, wait for that. And yeah, see you later. Simpsons airing on Cartoon Network Philippines. The earliest seasons of The Simpsons aired in Cartoon Network Philippines from April 2006 to 2007. Yeah, that's pretty much it. I mean, that's all I have to say. There's not really much to continue, we'll just get onto the next one. JBVO, your all-request cartoon show. So this was a spin-off of Johnny Bravo that ran for one season from April 2nd, 2000 to August 26th, 2001. And it was on Sundays. It was a programming block hosted by Johnny who would take in viewer requests of which cartoons to air in sometimes alongside some infrequent Cartoon Network guests. Like Chicken from example from Cow and Chicken. They would request through Writens of the show or through the Cartoon Network website. And it could be any cartoon from Cartoon Network's library with the exception of the half-hour shows. Like The Moxie Show, for example, which is also on this iceberg. It was another one of Cartoon Network's attempts at a hosted cartoon show and was close to having a live cartoon character. And it also ironically premiered shortly after The Moxie Show had ended. And like The Moxie Show is arguably unsuccessful, lasting a single season and an episode for a year before its cancellation. It also received little in the way of resurfacing. Nothing of it since has been in the airwaves. Very little else exists of it online besides a few episodes, segments and promos. If you at all watched JBVO when you were a kid or something, tell me down in the comments. I don't really know that much about it and I wonder if it was actually entertaining. Regular show asset trip. All right, this is like a Reddit thingy, so I'll read it for you. I know about two in the AMPM, but there's evidence that the show, as it exists now, is an asset trip. It would be kind of weird if it was in my opinion, but I also kind of like that it's mixed with some innocence, even if the jokes are a bit more geared at adults sometimes. I'm also aware of the stuff like the clock saying 420, et cetera, but that could just be a hidden joke rather than something that suggests that the characters are either stoned or experiencing an asset trip. What do you guys think? I think the asset trip theory is a little bit, just fake. I mean, two in the AMPM is about asset but I think regular show just has its own stuff. But since we're here too, I guess let's knock this out. Chicken wings, for example, alcohol. Yeah, this is true. I mean, it's so obvious. Moffos be acting hella drunk on the wings. Courage is Cerberus. Courage is a scared dog with one goal in life, doing whatever he can to protect his masters. He has to protect his masters from all the evils that plague his home in the middle of nowhere. No one is really sure where nowhere is. All we could see of it is that it's a barren, hellish wasteland. Whenever the monster that weak appears, we could see Courage saving Muriel. Despite it being pretty worthless to begin with, Muriel often sees Courage with another head. Our Courage expresses his emotions or warning messages by altering his body, giving him multiple heads. This is significant because the Hound Hell, Cerberus, was said to have three heads.  And in this case, Oostos would be Hades. Tell me your thoughts as well, but since we're here, let's cover most of the Courage theories. From a dog's perspective, the second theory states that there weren't actually any monsters and that Courage only thinks that they are because he was never taken on walks. This would explain why Oostos would seemingly not remember what happened to him in prior episodes. Muriel and Oostos were puppets. In the last episodes of season one, Oostos and Muriel were turned into puppets, which we saw Courage puppeteering while laughing maniacally. Some have noticed that this is after the point where the show takes the bizarre turn, even more so than it was before, with Courage acting out of complex plots, with them to pretend that they're still alive as he sinks further into the delusional state brought about the starvation to isolation. Damn, if you watch Courage, what are your thoughts on this, I guess? But I'm gonna move on. The Amazing World of Gumball is set in a puppet world. Non-main characters in The Amazing World of Gumball don't seem bothered by any of the crimes and misadventures of the Watterson family. So there might be a theory that explains why for such a long time. In each episode, the story starts with the Gumball or Darwin harassing other characters in some episodes.  However, the two never compensate their wrongdoings. Out of characters, Gumball, Darwin, and their father seem to be the only ones with paranoid mindsets, while other characters often just get annoyed or stay normal beings while meeting them. The theory is that the world of Elmore exists only in Watterson's mind, as a result of entering a coma during an accident. Throughout an episode, Rob appears in, no one seems to be scared of what's happening unless Gumball is the subject. Many supporting characters are like, let's just chill while Gumball and Darwin solve the problem. Rob, the guy who appears at the antagonists of the show in later episodes, isn't actually a villain at all. In season one, he's seen as an ordinary sociopathic kid who appears as a puppet of Gumball's show. However, he was chosen to be Gumball's assassin. While tending to assassinate Gumball, the world of Elmore is fading away because Gumball, the creator of the universe, isn't there. Apart from Elmore, there isn't sign of any other towns. I swear to God, every theory has to, somebody's a sociopath, someone's schizophrenic, somebody's just overall batshit crazy. Do you think Gumball's just batshit crazy or do you think that this is just a creative puppet show? The hospital theory. The hospital theory is that all kids of K&D are patients in a hospital and the nurse told them that they were secrets squad of agents to cheer them up. Number five's parents had divorce and her dad left them penniless. Her mother blamed all the tragedies on number five and be her. This led to number five being the mother figure of the group as she wanted to be better than the mother that she had. Number four had come from a rough neighborhood. So he always had to be tough and aware of his surroundings. He was sent to the hospital with serious injuries after being mugged by a man with a knife. Due to number four's tough nature, he didn't back down and he was stabbed. If you're from England watching this, can you relate? I'm sorry, I just, I had a joke. I had to throw in an English joke, can you blame me? Number three was born to the family of drug addicts. Her parents would often abuse her and she decided to take her mother's anti-depression pills. One day her dad shot her mom. When she walked in on the murder, she couldn't realize anything bad had happened since the pills heavily affected her mental state. Her dad noticing her stand there and shot her to leave no witness. She survived, but needed a liver transplant because of all the medication she'd taken. Number two was born to a loving mother and father who allowed his creativity to flourish. He was praised and cherished, but his uncle was jealous because he had the same abilities as a child yet never received any encouragement. Number two's uncle overfed him to express this resentment. Even when number two refused, he was forcefully stuffed. The boy eventually had to go to the hospital and he was so obese that he would get seriously ill and had a high chance of heart failure. Number one had a dad with Alzheimer's disease. So he always had to look after him, though he didn't mind. His dad was a nice guy and before losing his mind was always kind of number one. His dad was the only adult number one like since his mother left him and he felt the doctors and nurses didn't care about his father and that they weren't trying hard enough to save him either. One day he took his dad to the hospital, number one put randomly. He admitted and it was discovered that he had cancer, God fucking. This is, let me guess, they're gonna say that's why he's bald. This led to him to hate adults more as he felt he was being tortured with needles and various medications. He acted like a leader to help the other kids feel better just as he did with his father. The K&D was formed to fight a war against adults as they felt imprisoned in the ward. The other members were of past kids who had come and gone while teenagers. Come on, this is complete, this is all fake. This is so fake.  Like no shot, no shot, you believe this as well. Well, that's the end of layer four. Thanks for sticking around. Don't click off yet, we're getting to layer five. All right, see you there. The Billy and Mandy Theory. All right, this is a post, so I'm just gonna read it out for you. This might not be a very popular theory because it concerns the show being about a dead cast of characters and it probably seems incredibly similar to the Ed, Ed and Eddie theory. But since the personification of death is the main character and the frequent use of the underworld, I think it could be. Everyone is dead, the whole town, dead. Billy's family is the new addition to Ennsville, so they're the most disturbed by everything going on. The grim adventures of Billy and Mandy has always been sort of a morbid show, but this may be shocking. Although we believe the people in the show to be existing is wrong, they're all dead or imaginary. But the truth is, this is all inside of one animal's head. The animal's milkshake, Billy's beloved cat. What really happened one morning was Mandy was going door to door, asking people for money for an orphanage. But when she gets to Billy's house, Billy's mom is having a psychotic rage attack from her schizophrenia and has tied up everybody in the house and has lit the house on fire. Jesus Christ. Billy's mom answers the door, pulls Mandy in and stabs her and kills herself. Everyone is dead except milkshake, who escapes from the wreckage. Months later, milkshake returns to the house expecting to find a ruin, but doesn't and goes into depression and creates his own world where everybody's still alive.  He was bugging his mother, knowing she was in a very fragile state. Milkshake blames the whole thing on him and this is why we see him screaming all the time. And this is why milkshake also feels betrayed by Billy and can't get him out of his mind. Mandy. We see Mandy as his unhappy child without a nose, but there's more to it. Although milkshake doesn't know Mandy personally, he could tell she had a rough life. Milkshake tries to make the thoughts of Mandy happy by giving her a friend. Though milkshake can't make his imaginary Mandy happy because he feels bad for what happened to her. Groom is not just what milkshake sees as Billy and Mandy's slave friend, but is actually the physical form of milkshake's denial on that they're dead and that he can't escape that fact. He knows they're dead but just doesn't want to accept it. And so he pretends that they're just friends with the core here of death. Groom is portrayed as smart and the one with the most common sense because milkshake wants to feel that his family's death was the best thing for them. Billy's mom. A lot of the characters we've seen this show were created by Billy's mom, that milkshake can remember. The demons in particular, the main ones. So there's many more, but I think I'm gonna stop this here. The theory is that just like the cat, the cat thinks, oh, why am I doing this? The theory is that everything happening is just in the cat's head, the shared universe theory. This theory is quite similar to the famous Pixar theory. This theory just says that all the Cartoon Network shows might be connected somehow. But how do you connect Chowder to regular show and then connect regular show to Samurai Jack? I think this is just not possible. I mean, the Pixar theory, you have some more things, but that's insanely stretching as it is. Skylar Page, the creator of Clarence was fired due to a sexual assault made on a female co-worker. Yikes. It was said that Skylar Page is no longer an employee. Cartoon Network set a spokesman. And apparently behind the scenes, they try to blame Asperger's for being the reason.  Like Jesus Christ. I mean, good riddance though. This is also the reason due to Clarence's cancellation and also the cancel of a movie. Also, I guess since we're here, I don't think there's gonna be that much Clarence on this iceberg. So I'm interested.  I mean, that was kind of after my wave.  But yeah, wondering your thoughts. Root Removal. Root Removal is a banned episode of Dexter's Laboratory. It was originally part of season two. The episode first aired at the World Animation Celebration on February 21st, 1998. And it was later banned worldwide due to excessive use of profanity. However, it later resurfaced as a limited time special on January 22nd, 2013. And then it was later removed again. In this special episode, Dexter events a Root Removal Machine that separates his and Dee Dee's Root sides that make them be nice to each other. However, chaos ensues with the Root clones head out the lab and tear up the house. And Dexter drops some no-no-meany words. Don't get me wrong, I've definitely used some no-no-meany words in this video. And some of you might complain about it.  Hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo, you see what I did there? Yeah, you saw all that. Peppa Pig. Peppa Pig is a British preschool animated, okay. Oh my God. All right, I'm really gonna talk about Peppa Pig in a video. Peppa Pig is a British preschool animated television series directed and produced by Ashley Baker Davis. Hope I pronounced that right. The US dubbed aired as part of the preschool block cult, Tickle U1 Cartoon Network. You can also hear the audio of labs of Peppa Pig in the US dub or Tickle U became a website. So yeah, Peppa Pig was once on Cartoon Network.  Like, grow up. It's Frankie Imaginary. In this 2014 theory, it says that Frankie Foster is actually a younger version of Madame Foster. The theory points that Frankie has similar clothing design to his grandmother and that they seem to almost appear exactly alike. It is believed that Madame Foster created Frankie as a means of maintaining order in the foster home after she was gone. She loved the foster home and all of the imaginary friends there, but she knew that because of her aggressive aging, she wouldn't be able to maintain the house for long. This theory also points to how Frankie is never shown as having an imaginary friend herself other than possibly the scribbles as shown in the flashback and that she never really seemed to have a life outside the home. It's believed that she dates humans either because she likes humans more than imaginary friends or that she dates them because she's unaware of her position as an imaginary friend. There's also an alternative take on this theory. For example, answers the question that if Frankie were indeed an imaginary friend, then why would she need a driver's license? This alternate theory also asks if Frankie was real. But Madame Foster herself was her imaginary friend. It's believed that the real Madame Foster died a few years ago and that Frankie couldn't cope with the loss of her grandmother. The theory also points out how childlike and energetic Madame Foster was compared to the typical grandmother and that she typically acts as though she were like an imaginary friend herself. It's believed that Frankie stays at the foster home because she wants to keep the charade up also because she's still obsessed over her real grandmother's death. I mean, swag?  So let's get into the next one. Frankie is the only real character. They really like some Frankie, huh? Warning. The following theory is way darker than the other two. Woo-hoo-hoo-hoo. I'm spooked out. I am so scared. Let's see what we are reading here today. As opposed to Frankie not existing in reality, it could be that she's the only real character in the show, leaving Mac and Madame Foster imaginary. Frankie grew up in a broke home, perhaps because her parents lived in constant bickering and not enough time to spend with her daughter. So she made up an imaginary friend. She would spend all her time with this friend, leaving her parents slightly worried, but concluded that was appropriate for her age. But as she aged into a teenager, her imaginary friend remained her only best friend. Her parents took her to a psychiatrist, perhaps after kids at school tease her for her imaginary friend and she responded angrily. The psychiatrist helped prescribe medicine to help with what was proven to be a full-blown hallucination. As her friends slowly began to disappear, she fell into a deep state of depression concerning her parents further. But on the brink of divorce, they had no time or money for the psychiatric visits. Frankie eventually finds out about the medication, which was kept a secret from her and responds fiercely. She ran away from the home blindly with her mother and father frantically following. She continued running and eventually lost them in a bad section of town, known for drug dealing. She comes to a huge, abandoned mansion, sprinkled in many of colors of chipped paint. But to her, after days of running and hiding without a dose of daily medicine, the boarded up cobweb infested mansion looks like a dream come true. She ran inside and continued to live happily as her best friend, Blue, returned. She made many more imaginary friends, as well as hallucinating a family to fill her empty need for one. Mac was a manifestation of her miscarried brother, whom her parents had already named before his soon death. Madame Foster was representative of Frankie's grandmother, who was the only one of her family that loved her, despite the condition that brought up her hallucinations. Her days of joys at her grandmother's house translated into her new home, or she hangs out with ghost in what could never be. Well, that's the end of this layer, folks. I'll see you in the next one as well. Let's just keep going through it. Don't quit on me now. Ben and Gwen are brother and sister. They have the sibling yin yang thing going on and even share the same birthday. Grandpa Mac split them among his own kids to give them a dispart upbringing to prepare them for their inevitable destiny. Ben 10 is a comic and Gwen wrote it. We're just gonna be cycling through the Ben 10 thing, is by the way, if you watch Ben 10 as a kid, tell me, you know. Gwen 10, Ben 10,000 and Goodbye in Good Riddance clearly reveals that the events take place in a comic book series. Yeah, that's pretty much it. There isn't that much of the Ben 10 stuff. I apologize. The Professor is Samurai Jack. The Powerpuff Girls and Samurai Jack belong to the same universe, and Samurai Jack is none other than Professor Utonium. One day, the Powerpuff Girls end up destroying Townsville while fighting their enemies, and that's when Professor Utonium transforms himself into Samurai Jack, the post-apocalyptic hero.  Not racist, by the way. This is just an observation. CN Real. CN Real is a former Cartoon Network programming block that featured live-action reality shows, usually on Wednesdays and Saturdays that premiered on June 17th, 2009, promoted by rock musician Andrew W.K. It featured live-action shows such as The Other Siders, Bobby Sayes, Dude, What Would Happen, Brain Rush, and Destroy, Build, Destroy. And the acquired series, Survive This. I have not watched any of these. The block was created so the network could effectively compete with Nickelodeon and Disney Channel, both of which had a large number of live-action programming. Network executives and critics expressed concerns about alienating Cartoon Network's core audience with this block, which heavily promoted live-action programming over cartoons. The concerns were well-founded as none of the shows ended up building any ratings momentum, not even breaking the top 10 programs aired on the network. The Other Siders and Survive This premiered on Wednesdays, while Brain Rush and W.K.'s own Destroy, Build, Destroy premiered on Saturdays. On July 10th, 2009, the network announced that CN Reel would be consolidated into a Wednesday night block from July 15th onwards due to the overwhelmingly poor reception. Many shows in the block were prematurely canceled, except for Dude, What Would Happen, and Destroy, Build, Destroy. The block ended in early 2010, although new live-action shows were produced. The CN Reel block was ultimately dropped after deeming the block a critical failure. Following this is also considered an inappropriate idea for the network as Cartoon Network's been classified as a cartoon channel. Yeah, speaking about this, I don't know anything. I associated live-action with, like, Disney Channel and Nickelodeon. The Downer. The Downer is the 36th episode of season three of the Amazing World of Gumball, an animated series produced by Cartoon Network Development Studios in Europe. The final product revolved around the Watterson family trying to cheer up Gumball, who was in an explicable bad mood. Gumball then gets mad and wishes for his family to disappear, which they and the rest of Elmore do. Throughout the course of the episode, Gumball slowly goes insane as he rocks around the empty town. However, the original draft of the episode was excessively dark, and the creator mentioned that because of that darkness, the whole episode had to be rewritten. As of yet, details concerning the original draft haven't surfaced anywhere online. And the only mention of it is on Twitter in a conversation with one of the show's fans, Christina Miller. Christina Miller is the former president of Turner's Cartoon Network Adult Swim and Boomerang and is responsible for leading all aspects of business in North America, as well as global oversight of linear and nonlinear content. On November 27th, 2019, it was announced that it should be leaving war on our media at the end of 2019. I mean, okay. I don't know why that's on the iceberg specifically, but I mean, sure. The Kitty Bobo Show. The Kitty Bobo Show was a short cartoon on Cartoon Network. The short premiered on Cartoon Cartoon Fridays on August 17th, 2001, as one of the 10 contenders for Cartoon Network's Big Pick 2, the winner of which would become the next Cartoon Cartoon. The short did not win the Big Pick and was not picked up by Cartoon Network to become a full-length series. Kitty Bobo wants to prove that he's cool by getting a cell phone. Fortunately, he doesn't seem to be receiving many important calls, thereby reducing his cool factor. So he begins to fake incoming calls. Regular show cursing. This refers to when regular show used to have cursing in it.  But of course that got replaced. Nonstop superhero action. Nonstop superhero action was a special 14 hour Teen Titans Go marathon that aired all day on September 12th, 2020 from six o'clock a.m. to eight o'clock p.m. The marathon celebrates the kids' verse DC Kids fandom section of the all day interactive event, DC fandom, Explore of the Multiverse. It was a two day interactive event. The marathon originally aired on August 22nd, 2020 from six o'clock a.m. to eight o'clock p.m. As all day superhero fun featuring Teen Titans Go and Teen Titans episodes. The movie Teen Titans Go versus Teen Titans in the all new DC superhero girls. Half hour episode into 14 hours but then DC Kid fandom was rescheduled. Fried Dynamite. Fried Dynamite, abbreviated as FD, was a Friday night slash Saturday morning cartoon network block that replaced Friday night premium thunder. It was hosted by the 10 year old super fan, Blake Michael. In this show, Blake brings his friends on the show to help along hosting to bang out all the fun block skits. Blake's friends that appear most often, Camille, Corey, Ryan, Todd and Mercedes. Blake has other friends that also appear on the show from time to time. I mean, sure, okay.  But that's the end of this section. For the seventh layer, I'm gonna have to hold my guard and do it again. So bear with that. I'll see you in the eighth layer. Bet you all dreaded that this moment will come again, huh? The moment where I disrupt smooth editing and crisp audio within of one of my segments. But inadequacy and self-deprecation aside, I got a job to do and you've got a video to watch. Like an unhappy married couple were bound together. But it's okay. Don't worry. I can be better. This layer's got better stuff on it. I swear there won't be any more pizza, steve is naked type of topics. I can talk about cool stuff like, Gorillaz and Cartoon Network. I'm actually quite a big fan of Gorillaz so it's nice to see them make a little appearance on the iceberg. In case your only exposure to Gorillaz was your dad playing their music on the radio during long car trips, you may be unaware that Gorillaz is a fictional, fully animated band consisting of bandmates that don't exist past the plane of reality known as animation.  However, Gorillaz was a pioneer of these bands with its founders being alert to the idea of creating a virtual band disconnected from the pointless and overly romanticized music industry. As much as I'd like to go on about Gorillaz music and animation, it's not particularly relevant aside from establishing that the band has ties to the animation industry. During the storyline of phase five in Gorillaz's discography, the band's main bass player Murdoch was canonically incarcerated in prison. Yeah, sounds complex and hard to explain but that's the nature of the band's storytelling. Point being to fill in the role the band replaced Murdoch for a short while with the Powerpuff Girls character Ace. Yes, this is real and this is official. The band got full approval from Cartoon Network to temporarily replace Murdoch with this Powerpuff Girls character. This was done because Jamie Hewlett, the band's real life artist and co-creator liked the Powerpuff Girls show and felt Ace would have been the perfect pick for the band. One of the Cartoon Network approved the use of one of its characters with the band like Gorillaz. Whilst being music I enjoyed as a kid it's most certainly not something I would ever call kid friendly.  But it's always cool to see crossovers like this and apparently the band has more plans to use them in the future, so that's cool. Cyborg isn't a teenager.  All this is referencing as a little factoid in an episode of Teen Titans Go that confirms Cyborg's canonical age as 18 making him by technicality not a teenager.  Like I say, getting flashbacks to my Robocop iceberg. Jim Henson collab cartoon. Hard to find stuff on this. When you Google the name of this topic you get the Muppet show Fragile Rock is the first result. However, there's no mention the show ever premiering on Cartoon Network. Another result I got was for a show called Big Bang which was a collaboration between Cartoon Network and Jim Henson's Muppet Workshop. However, there's no mention of Henson being involved creatively in the project leaving this topic to be a bit of a dead end. Maybe there is an interesting story behind this but as it stands I can't see anything that would warrant further explanation. Ice King has Alzheimer's. Low plug I guess but this is actually a topic in Adventure Time that I've been thinking about and wanted to make a video on for some time. I may still make a video on it as the concept and storytelling the show uses to explore this idea is one that is intensely personal and one that I couldn't really do justice in a context like this. Doesn't mean I'm not gonna try and explain it to the best of my ability here though. Just gotta put my objective cap on and only talk about the cold hard facts of the subject. The character of Ice King is a mad and insane old man who fixates on things and assigns strange value or significance on seemingly insignificant things. On the surface level this is done to solidify his crazy old wizard archetype and allow for an easy excuse for Finn and Jake to give the old bastard an apple sandwich. However, this is all recontextualized when you discover that he was once a scientist named Simon Petrokov who was a completely different character to his flying and snow-wielding counterpart. Where the Ice King is crazy and selfish Simon is mild, subdued and compassionate. The lower reason for this dramatic shift in character is the crown that both characters wear. Whilst giving immeasurable power the crown also slowly degrades the minds of its wearers. Slowly but surely Simon begins to forget large chunks of his memory and slips in and out of being himself and being the Ice King. Which if you take away the ice power thing as a pretty clear parallel to actual Alzheimer's which is especially reinforced when you see how Marceline responds to Simon's change from himself into the Ice King. Mirroring a family member who's lost a loved one to the illness.  Then my cynical and asshole-ish YouTube persona will allow. Going to get very self promo-y here before I wrap this topic up and move on to the next thing. But if you'd like to see me tackle and talk about this topic with more tack and better writing then be sure to let me know. Original Jake is dead. Okay, we've passed the sobering near-shell cracking hurdle of talking about something heavy and sad. So now let's drown ourselves in figurative drugs and alcohol so we can repress the real self and get back to being cynical and taking the piss.  Original Jake is dead? What are you talking about? He's right there, he's fine. Oh, okay, that motherfucker might well be dead. But yeah, don't really know what this is referencing but if you know then be sure to tell me in the comments. But that seems to be about everything I have to cover for this iceberg. Dropping my YouTube persona and being genuine again would mean a lot to me if any of you checked out some of the stuff on my channel and gave me the time of day. My stuff's mainly focused around media analysis so if you're into films, games, TV shows and mild commentary topics and aspects then be sure to check me out. As is probably evident by the segments I've done I'm nowhere near as talented at editing or as good of a wordsmith as the shoebill bastard that so generously given me a soapbox to stand on. But I feel I get better with every upload and thrive off of feedback. Biggest issue I have is the feeling of talking to the brick wall so I would really appreciate a subscription or a comment on any of my videos. So yeah, I'll hand the microphone back to Skipper. See ya. Rebecca Sugar.  I'm gonna guess Rebecca Sugar was probably an adult at the time but that's a sick way to start this layer. LeBron versus Kids Next Door. So there's a promo where it was just LeBron James playing against the kids next door. I thought it was kind of fun to include in this cause you know, ballin' like Kobe but yeah. Tickle U. Tickle U was a weekday warning preschool programming block on Cartoon Network and briefly on Boomerang. The block premiered on August 22nd, 2005 and ended sometime near December, 2005. Tickle U was a second preschool programming block that featured on Cartoon Network after Small World. Tickle U aired from Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 11 a.m. The block was hosted by blocks mascot Pip Oka. Pip Oka, I don't know how to pronounce that. Voiced by Ariel Winter and Henderson, who was voiced by Tom Kenny. You know, the guy who plays SpongeBob. But since this is Cartoon Network, yeah, he also plays Ice King. Let's give credit there. On December 30th, 2005, the block and his hosts were removed. Though the shows continued to air on Cartoon Network, the promos for the show featured on the block in Tickle U branding along with Henderson and Pip Oka, I think I'd say pronounce it, were removed and replaced by shots of the main view of the city of Townsville for On the Powerpuff Girls. This was a short layer but I'm gonna conclude the video here. So that's the end of this iceberg. I just wanna quickly take some time to just give my thanks that I promised in the beginning. When I first did the Nickelodeon iceberg, I had a thousand subs. And recently we just hit 15,000. 15,000, that's a big number. The idea of how much you could gain off of one thing is pretty incredible. And look, I'm not perfect. I probably got some things messed up. I probably could have done more. But the idea of people just supporting me and watching me just means a lot. Like a ton. Like truly, thank you for sitting through this if you did and decided to watch this. And honestly, the best way to support me going forward is just by subscribing. I'm trying to hit 20K by the end of the month and yeah, that's kind of a long shot, but I don't know, I've always been a dreamer. Also, I wanna give props to Will. The whole of my garden, he makes good content and he's extremely underrated.  So please check him out. Please go leave him a sub and just, yeah, support him. He's great. Also, I wanna say thank you to all the channel members and Patreons. It's cool to see you supporting me as well going on in the future. And all their names are right here. It's sick. I love you guys. Also, if you wanna stay connected with me, you can follow me on Twitter. Also, if you want to, you can join the Discord.  Once again, thank you for 15K. Thanks for watching the video. It means a lot. Appreciate your patience. Thank you. No way. This is not the murder, Mr. Rhee. Let's turn it boys. Boy, man, turn it insesite.


We've had a very good life until the Nazis came on. They had this tremendous parade, flags and all this, and was assigned, have to wear a yellow star.  They're going to be all. My first memory was to be in prison inside a camp, seeing the gallows, the screaming, the barking dogs. The marching and the sound they made on the pavement. After being in Auschwitz a couple of days, I asked, what are those flames coming out of the chimneys? She said, this is where your mother and father burned. We need to make sure that the younger generations know their history. None of this about guilt. It is all about responsibility. Don't let the past be forgotten. Don't let our story be forgotten. Holocaust education is extremely, extremely important. By learning from the past, we can build a better future for everybody. I tell this story because I want to remember. I am a witness for the million and a half children that cannot speak for themselves.


This study found that serum nerve growth factor, NGF, levels were significantly higher in major depressive disorder, MDD, patients compared to healthy control subjects. This suggests that NGF could serve as a potential biomarker for MDD diagnosis. Further research is needed to investigate the underlying mechanisms, risk factors, disease course, and treatment responses of NGF in MDD.

Well the money hasn't actually been dwindling down What's been dwindling down?

It's the people and the style and the beauty, but it's also kind of grimy and has a hard edge to it. It's black, it's a attitude, it's strong and real, it's social, it's community and family. The struggle and the optimism in the resistance. Emulated, but you can't duplicate it. This is over.


It's still the breakfast on Plus TV Africa and it's time for us to look at the papers. We call it off the press. The papers are quite interesting and you can, you know, predict some of the stories that make the front page this morning. Tunde Kolawale joins us this morning via phone. It's good to have you Kolawale. Happy New Year. I was going to say Merry Christmas but we're in 2023. Happy New Year to you too. Wish you all the best in the New Year. All right then. Thank you so much for making our time to be with us this morning. Let's take a quick look at the punch. The punch says PVC is 6.7 million uncollected in 17 states. That's very, very worrisome. INEC targets market. And we're still here talking about endorsement and what have you. Imagine 6.7 million piazzans not casting their votes in all of this. It's a lot. Then we move away from the board caption but we have the writer underneath. You say INEC moves to increase voter card pick up in states and plans massive sensitization and that should be what it should be including political parties at this point in time. Civil society organization. Everyone, you know, should be at the verge where, you know, everybody's encouraged to pick up their cards because that's the only way they can go ahead to cast their vote. 14,000 people collect PVC daily in Lagos. Yaga Africa laments poor awareness. 22 trillion are alone to attract additional 1.8 trillion Naira interest. That's what Buhari has quoted to say, the president of the federal republic of Nigeria. Railway debt servicing gobs 246 billion. Railway debt servicing gobs 246 billion Naira. And just before we move away from the punch, the more interesting headlines, China COVID-19. Federal government fears spread and 16 countries impose restrictions. I'm not sure I want to get to that point, right? And let's not even say that we're going to impose restrictions just before February. You know what that would mean. Again, you find why I declined to marry terrorist commander. Train attack victim is quoted to say, as you protest as federal government withholds union dues. And you have a million speed farewell to the football legend Pelle as he's been laid to rest. Reps won EFCC again, selling asset to looters as seen this morning on the punch newspaper. We take our attention from the punch. We take a quick look at the nation now. The nation says, APC, PCC, obese backing by Obasanjo, Edwin Clark, Wiccans, PDP. Like similar endorsement in 2019, there will fail, says Festus Kiyamo, and elections or your PDP crisis widened, marking the pro-article group test strengths. I look to you Nigerians be wary of fake and be wary of fake ad hoc officials, peace targets expansion to United Kingdom, India, Israel, and orders. And we're saying, let your services be smooth, you know, in a home country. Why 23.7 trillionaire CBL loan must be restructured by the president. President signed 21.83 trillionaire of a 2023 appropriation bill into law, and Tunibu deserves credit for Lagos transformation. That's what the governor of Lagos is saying. People have argued differently that, hey, what are we saying? Song Walu is quoted to say that's on the nation newspaper this morning. Republican loses vote for speaker. That's in the United States. That's the much we can take on the nation. Let's look at another paper, and that is the leadership. The leadership says, or be endorsement, you don't own key, you don't own key to Asarok, Attico Tells, or Basandro. You don't own key to Asarok, Attico Tells, but I thought, you know, all of this was over.  Beware of politicians who think they're above Niger, Tunibu tells Muslim leaders, or term endorsement, or will be confirms crack in the G5, where intakes will unveil choice. That's a candidate soon. That's what we case saying. Edwin Clark's back or Basandro on support for the Labour Party flag bearer, and this conversation continues. Now, we still have another caption here, says, troop kills four terrorists and recovers weapons in Kaduna, apprehension in Imo, as gunmen raise police division. This is an attack on, you know, police officers across different parts of the state is really, really a major concern, especially as we inch closer, you know, to the elections. Federal government to deploy technology against terrorists in the South East. How can this things be? Is it possible with that yield and a result? Attackers of my convoy may not, attackers of my convoy not, iPops says, O'Hakim, okay? Pension foreign assets raised by 1.2 trillion are in the 2022, you know, budget or plan. Economist slave father boring as President Mohammed the Buhari signs 21.83 trillion our budget. This what you find this morning on the leadership. Now, just before we have to the color will he share his thoughts, the daily trust is before us. And he says, nine months after resignation, Adamo carry, now she is seat still vacant in the Senate. Constituent laments and tackles, Ionic vacancies treated as APC's internal affairs. That's what lawyers quoted to say. I can't comment on the matter until what O'Korea is saying. How ICT will shape Nigeria's 2023 election startups orders. All your PDP leaders assures a tickle of victory full and a group backs ex vice president. Buhari signs 2023 budget queries 1.32 trillion era and started by the National Assembly. And the big question is, I mean, if the president finds that the budget has been parted or the National Assembly did whatever it did, why did he go ahead to sign it? Is it that we need just to go ahead and say, hey, well, let's continue with the budget cycle of January to December. This is some of the questions that are begging for answers. National Assembly gives conditions to reconsider stands on federal governments boring from the central bank of Nigeria. Atom, Edwin Clarkbacks, Obasan Dros, endorsement of Ubi, Ionic wants on fake ad hoc staff recruitment portal. Ritualist invader gun community exhumed 40s calls, too many issues. And that's it this morning on the daily trust newspaper. I mean, let's quickly have our guest join us. Tunde Kola Walei, many thanks for joining us by the way, he's a legal practitioner. Thank you so much. All right, then let's set of which of the headlines. Let's leave it very open to you now. In trust years, we went through the pages of a national dailies. Quite maybe we should start with the endorsement of Obi, but can I wish upon a passenger. I've seen a lot of people criticizing the use of one of the passengers. Of course, clearly supporting the Obi. I've also seen people like chief manager saying it was the right thing for chief manager to have done, that is to support the what the president's comment 2023. And the truth of the matter is that we should allow people to have their preferences, also campaign for their preferences as president. That is what democracy is all about. The situation in which we will be to shout down with echo and excite individuals for having their preferences in this election is not empty for democracy. What is important is that we are citizens to have our pbc. And when we do have our pbc, vote for the candidate of our choice, not to mind who is recommending and who is not recommending the other person. The beauty of democracy is that they are all electorate or every individual out of service, armed with their pbc. And then they should let their voice be heard by voting for the candidate of their choice, which is not by shouting down a person. Other persons also have a right to decide that this person or that person is their candidate of their choice. It shouldn't be a thing that we should try and do. Well, but you know the concept of endorsement is a universal concept. It probably might not be written, but we see it in even in very developed democracy, just like you have stated. Everyone has a right to say, hey, this is who I'm supporting or this is who I want to support, including yourself. But we understand, you know, where this comes from. But I'd like you to also add that of, you know, shortly after the former president endorses, endorse Peter R.B., then you have another endorsement from a South-South elder statesman, Edwin Clark. How do you respond to this? Should we see more endorsement as we had, you know, close to the elections? Yeah, honestly speaking, part of the challenges we have had as a nation or part of the thought coming of this democracy is that these who are only shy to identify with the candidate of their choice are not saying that should not be the situation. In some other claims, especially like in places like here, people are not shy to identify with the candidate of their choice. In fact, they're not only going to condemn for such a candidate, they also find ways and means to really finance those candidates. And so that they get into power. But here, we want to bury our heads in the sand, like the ostrich, pretending that we are not a concern. The endorsement of Edwin Clark and not a full opinion is also a welcome development. The other statesmen have the right to adopt or recommend or whatever or endorse whatever candidate of their choice or to endorse would be an order. But he does not have the power to really force us to vote for him in 2023, if actually we don't want to vote for him. The more endorsements we have, the better for us. That is the virtue of democracy. Honestly speaking, we have too many times and too long and now only career politicians who decided to become all occupied, some of these exhausted offices. And that is the reason we are finally at best in the situation we are today as a nation. The ultimate is moving forward. But if we have to put, if we have the political mood, if we have to call it a step back, I have studied this person as a citizen, I have looked at his manifesto, I've also looked at what he has done in the past, and I've also looked at his corruption index and order. I think he can move the mission forward. He does look at me as a member or as a federal representative member or as a senator. Then would you seek out a member for such a thing? A member who has to do whatever is necessary to make sure that he gets into power. But it's just when circumstances get into power, some of these groups are endorsing this support and order. We also sign as a lever which will begin to hold the people accountable when they don't deliver on the dividend of democracy on whatever manifesto that they are pulling the people of Nigeria. So both as a clerk, as you have just gone back there on the right track, or coming out openly to speak as a neck, or governor will be, and then endorsing. Other people also have candidates who feel like they try with any other candidate. I encourage them to come out and endorse those candidates. He will go out in the Antelope and come there for them. That should be, I mean that is a bit of democracy. Well let's turn our attention to the punch now. The punch says that 6.7 million uncollected PVCs in 17th state and INEC is making plans to move to the markets. I'd like to ask you, are you worried about this figure? 6.7 million persons in 17th state have not collected their PVC. And of course some days back in Lagos, we're talking about 1.6 million persons who have not collected their PVCs. What exactly could be responsible for this kind of figures and statistics? Absolutely, I am worried. And all Nigerians should be worried. 7 million is a considerable figure. And you will not believe it, that even 530 DC can make a whole world of difference come between 2023 elections. So when you have a smoke of 7 million or 7.5 million people, there's nothing connected. It should be a thing of contact for all Nigerians who want this election to go smoothly, free and fair. And for the best of the country to emerge as a nation. I should think there are a lot of problems with the distribution of these things. Well, if you find out that when you go to some of these centers, where the PVCs are to be collected and others, those things are not organized. It's a very chaotic process and it's a very scientific way to collect the PVCs. Whereas I should think, if I may cross-organize a war effort, they should even be able to deliver these PVCs. So they all might try to do whatever they think they can put them for the collection of these PVCs. Why they lump the PVCs and dump them as I may call these local government centers to beat my imagination. Because apart from voting, the PVC is also a very useful means of identification. It could also be used as a kind of intent for measuring what the population of the country is all about. But as it has always been, INEC has not added the distribution of these PVCs the way I manage to do it. Who has transplanted them into the way of the INEC distribution strategy.  They find the way to. Oh well, so unfortunately we have been disconnected. But we're looking at the issue of PVC and its collection. And the fact that 6.7 million persons or PVCs have not been collected because they're not owned by spirit, human beings own them. So you could rightly say 6.7 million persons have not collected their PVCs in 17 states. Should the conversation not move from all of the endorsement and the back and forth that we have with the political parties have the political parties really done enough because they also have a responsibility as to creating awareness and encouraging voters to go out and ensure that they're registered at a time where registration was ongoing. And now where the face where we're collecting PVCs that should end on the 22nd of January that's for 2023. So we really did not have time if you ask me and it's quite unfortunate. A lot of persons will be disenfranchised because there's no way you're going to do this. What can be done? How far can we move this figure away and get people to get their PVCs? What can the parties do? What can INEC do? I've been told that we have Tunday Calaweli back on the line. Tunday, thank you so much. Now my question is what exactly can be done to create the awareness, get the people to get their PVCs? Make it very possible because just like you have mentioned there's been several outcries especially for leaguers where they complain that it's very possible, it's difficult. The process of collecting these cards are very difficult and that's because the empire, those who work there has made it very difficult to some extent. There are too many bureaucratic process or what have you. So but is there anything that can be done in how many more weeks that we have before the elections? Well there is, for example it's not impossible that in some of these places they can separate the R&D PVCs, I mean alphabetically, wherever those things might be based on order and then get some minor coefficients. We can sit and look with government officials and the security agencies for example, where people come to do senders are in order. If you have R&D them alphabetically are in order. We can be calling out to the names of the people who are coming forward to pick the PVCs. You can also through the landlord association identify the streets where some of these PVCs belong to and order and through the landlord association and the community leaders get the PVCs across to the people who may have them and of course we also have to destroy the politicians who try to frustrate the collection of these PVCs. Sometimes when they know that their political opponent is strong in working and there is a very high registration in those places that are in order, they find ways and need to really make sure that these PVCs don't get it to the hands of these people who will use them and then both to get their political opponent elected. These kind of politicians have to be identified and then destroyed it from the point of spanner into the width of the high network. And more importantly, just like you have said, there's a little greater awareness on the part of the people. Nearly shouting on the social media and making us on the pages of the newspaper does not translate into getting into office. I would prefer the presentation of the community or the senatorial of the president candidate. It is the only way we can achieve our internal objective of getting the good reporting to power is to really be on with our PVC. We're caught very early on the day of election both to our different political time, both to the candidate of our choice and not necessarily making us on the social media and then on the pages of the newspaper and television and the radio. The time is not too short. The message are coming if you're worried. If we, if I make is committed to really ensuring that these PVC get to the ratified amount or those who have been registered for them, if these people are not hostile, the patriotic politicians can also act by ensuring that they give us this support to all the people who have registered for this PVC and that the PVC get to them. We will be careful not to allow the situation that we are seeing some part of the country now and we will be able to buy not the PVC and buy not the, I mean the PVN team and back of the people who have registered for all the people. How do we have, how possible? I mean, all these PVC will be able to put them on the election. Palawale, that's a lot of, that's a lot of, you know, that's a lot of statement. I mean, that's a very strong one. When you say that politicians are buying PVCs, how do you buy a PVC? How is, how? From some of the reports that are read in the papers and all that, it's been said that it's a modern part of the country. And the person who came out with these divisions are commenting later and then asking that people are going from home to home buying PVC from the 3,500 Naira to 2,500 Naira and also asking them to disclose their VVN identification or means of identification, their bank identification and also the PVN identification code. The reason why the alarm couldn't have been turned off from the street purpose and all that, they must have had some concrete information before they begin to raise their alarm. Well, I don't know how, I can't release Tunde Kola Walei.  Let's not forget that we have the beavers, the technology that has been introduced and we know that this technology works with the thumbprint. So you can't have another person going to, you know, the pulling boat and using another piece. No, the way it's done is this. The way it's done is this. They buy the PVC and then the means of identification and keep the PVC with themselves. On the day of their election, those who own those PVC and what have they, the party will call them up, give them more money and make them share to some vote. That it is this question of the people that are giving them money that they've been voting for. It's not a thing they're going to ask some other party to go and use those PVC and to vote on the election. It's a difficult, it is the people they have bought the PVC for that they will probably add them to some nice places, who ask them, give them their money and make them to share to some vote and order that they will vote for whoever may have been buying the PVC from them. I would remember the purchase of voter. It's not a new team. We saw it happening in Kiti. We saw it happening in Nundu. But this would be another dimension of it. If there's anything to go by, that's what we're saying. If this is anything to go by because, I mean, we haven't been able to verify all of that information. But however, we hope that the relevant quarters, especially Aynak, would look into this issue, some of this complaint and this allegation that has been raised by the people. And just like you have mentioned, looking into it because it's totally absurd if you ask me. But so moving forward now, let's look at another paper. It's the Daily Trust newspaper. And it talks about the president signing the 2023 budget. He queries 1.32 trillion error inserted by the National Assembly. We're talking about padding of the budget now. Why would the president go ahead to sign the budget when he knows it's been padded? What exactly is going on? Well, the budget in our own plan has become a mere ritual. Another document that with your kind permission, I would say card is no wish. Since the president, since the general public became president, and even down in the time of Yara Tua and then Dr. Gulo Juneta, we see that this is our number one in Yara. This is budget handmade. How many of those budgets do we strictly add to? Do we strictly implement our knowledge? You know, to the best of my knowledge, our budgets are not implemented up to 30% of what is contained in those top ones. People, the budgets are supposed to be real top ones, backed up by law, which ultimately should be strictly added to and implemented effectively.  We have also seen a mission which has been set. And the National Assembly, as a part of the budget, added a lot of things into those budgets that the presidency of the deputy of commerce is interested in. Yes, it is true that the National Assembly has the power to do whatever they can do with the budget. For example, even if the presidency sends a budget to them, they can't decide for now or not to determine everything that the presidency of the deputy of commerce is interested in. And then put in a fresh thing into those budgets, but on the condition that whatever they are put in there, it's not for their own pecuniary benefit. It's born out of maturity. It's born out of whatever the fact is and the information that they do have this disposal. It's born out of the fact that they want the country to grow. They want to develop the country. They want the country to move forward. They want the country to have a very healthy economy. That is the only reason why, or that is one of the reasons why the National Assembly, for going ahead and thinking of the budget. But in our situation, most of the time when they think of the budget, when they ask for it, it is for their own pecuniary benefit. So they have so-called constitutionality and for them to be able to award contracts and for them to be able to go to some of those limitaries and for them to ask for kickbacks, to ask for contracts based on what they are interested into, into the budget and all that. I am not sure. I am not too persuaded. I am not too interested in whatever budget it is because it contains a thousand number and I think that it is becoming richer because it never ends. Furthermore, where is the money or where is the resources to really execute a 1.5 billion budget with the situation we are in our heart today? The world that we depend on, very little is being produced. The little that has been produced has been sold. The ones that get into the market are not selling at the price that we think the other nation sells because of the world situation in Ukraine and then because of the decision of OPEC to make sure that oil prices don't go beyond a certain level. And of course you are now aware that the U.S. is taking a lot of measures to make sure that the prices of oil could rise to such a skyrocket in the international market simply because they want to also use it as a weapon to cut Russia from being able to wage war on Ukraine. So in a lot of matters in India, the value will be financing those budgets borrowing from the central bank of Nigeria and then borrowing from the international community. Whatever way it goes on, now or not, this budget is never likely to be implemented as the other nation did. In fact, I want to say it is a budget of bankruptcy. It's also a budget of debt management, if you have permit me to say. Once the government uses power in May 2023, I suspect that whatever person in the nation that come in May 2023 might be coming out with a new or a different budget. And that is going to be cannot and suitable not just to the resources that we have in our hand but also to the needs and aspirations of the Nigerian people. Some people have argued that the budget that we have is quite slim. If you look at the population and that we should anticipate more allocation in the previous years that we will come. But it's also unfortunate, just like you have mentioned, the fact that we don't have what it takes. I mean, our revenue cannot even fund the budget. So we will be borrowing to fund this budget. And if you also look at what we'll be borrowing for mostly feels like it's consumption because the National Assembly in its own will and power has decided to increase our location from 59 billion to 258 billionaire. And that's a lot. You don't want to even begin to consider all the factors. The fact that we'll be spending more in the cost of running governance. But it's what it is. And we can only talk like I'd say and hope that those who call the shots would do the needful. But quickly, as we inch closer to the elections, and this is not even new because we have had situations where police stations have been attacked. And now, should we be worried that there's been a lot of attack on police stations, especially in the southeastern part of the country? There's also a prehension in the most status, government, race, police, division. Koala Wale, what do you make of this, you know, pattern? What do you make of this behavior? And what does this mean for our elections, especially in the saddened part of the country? Honestly speaking, I read in the media people not going to go to the others. Of one and three on a first, who is said to be a protequist of of Nandekano, saying that they will not allow elections to hold in the southeast. I hope that these attacks on the police stations in the southeast and the attack on prominent a position in the southeast is not geared towards revealing the election in the southeast. I also want to find out the situation in which policemen, in which business officials, in which soldiers and others are being killed and maimed on a daily basis. For God's sake, that is anarchy. And nobody who has his mind or his head on the soldiers will support the kind of kill that is going on. We also need to take note of the fact that iPop over time have said that they are not responsible for these attacks. They've also, you know, vividly said that they have no plans to disrupt the elections in 2023. So who are these persons perpetuating this evil? I agree. I agree that we've been having this kind of tools from the southeast. Like I said, one NEPA, we've been, I think, this NADO or NEDENNA, who is said to be the deputy of Nandekano has openly said that they are not allowed to vote in the east. We are out here in Nigeria. I have also seen the iPop people issue the press statement saying that they do not support what the men who is based outside the country say that the nation will not vote in the southeast. So there is not impossible that the factions in iPop in which the organizations are broken into one in support of the nation holding the southeast and then the other factions working very hard to make sure that the nation does not hold the southeast. You will remember people of the nations like the Bukwara, organizations like ISWA, are sometimes broken into two different factions and then the different factions will be carrying out a different agenda and what are those?  Security people who are just ordinary people, who have also gone there to any living, neither by being policemen, by being police officers, they are human beings by cause, who have family to have responsibilities, who also have the right to live within the Nigerian society. That's their life, mean terminating without the due process of law. So that should be condemned. Look at what happened to Governor Haki. He was shot not in long ago. Four policemen for God's sake, not their life in that attack. This kind of visitation should not be controlled. And too many times, advise the iPop people that if you adopt the mantra of Gandhi, which is a non-violent, it is possible for the countries to achieve whatever objective of iPop to achieve whatever objective, without shedding the blood. I also want to say to the Nigerian people, there are two rounds of making rights. The campaign that the Nigerian people are also carrying out in the south, it should not be the way it should be done. Too many times, youths are being killed in a very, very class manner in the south. And I want to say that the people in authority should be at least what happened in South Africa. When Mandela and Goa campaign for their independence and all that, after that in South Africa, eating King Mandela, they ran them up, they tried to cut the country into jurisdiction, and then they put him in prison. And that something year later, Mandela got his freedom and then began to, to, to, to, and then left his country as a president. If the apartheid regime in South Africa has been killed, all the M.C. officials and some of these other people who are indecisive or independent in South Africa, if all they would not have independent in South Africa today, and South Africa would only have to come the white man, the colony on the African soil. So, stop, stop the genocidal campaign against the iphone in the south. Let's also organize the referendum in the south. That is the way it should be. And then even referendum all over the country, wherever, I mean, and all the different parties will campaign in support of whatever puts in the hold with regard to the referendum. If the people want independent in South Africa, win the referendum. Stop it. This is not the referendum. Stop it. Impressive, like, became the organized referendum. Impressive, like, to recognize the referendum. Impressive, like, not that, you know, the referendum are organized purely out of the college to gauge the same parameters.  Colour Wale, you have raised valid point. It's not possible. Tunde Colour Wale, you have raised valid point as to allowing the people, I mean, um, they have a right to say, we want a federation. I, as an individual, have a right to say, I don't want to become part of this, you know, this entity called Nigeria, even though the unity of this entity has also the union or this entity entirely has been queried because to say, the agreement that brought us together, the centurion has expired. And then, you know, it's like, what do you call it? They say it's an illegal entity. But, you know, that's a conversation for another day. Valid points that you have raised. Well, mostly it's about the fact that we're still together as a people. And if we say we're still together, then we have the government who saw responsibility to ensure that the rights and that's why government exists, that lives and properties are protected. And including that of these police officers and what have you. And so it's really, you know, worrisome. It's very disturbing that you have non-state actors overwhelming state institutions and nothing is done. It's like, you know, we're just moving on and it feels like it's becoming a norm.  And that's not really good. So what happens, especially when we know that our elections are usually policed and militarized? So what then becomes of it? What then becomes of the protection of the lives and people in this region where the police's, you know, facilities have been attacked and they're being killed? Who then is responsible for protecting the lives of the people? These are some of the consents that we have. Thank you so much to the Kala Walee for being part of the show this morning. We wish you a very wonderful... Yes, please. We wish you a very wonderful 2023. Thank you so much. All right then. That's the size of it for us. And off the press, we'll take a breakdown. And when we come back, it'll be time for us to look at our first major conversation. Would us take a quick look at the power sector when we return? Please stay with us.
