This is Matt Rogers from Los Cultures, thus with Matt Rogers and Boan Yang. This is Boan Yang from Los Cultures, thus Matt Rogers and Boan Yang. We've been talking about Cupid Mayo for a minute now, and wow! So many of you already love this stuff! And if you're thinking, wait, what is Cupid? Do you not have the internet? It's the OG Japanese mayonnaise, the one with the red cap. What makes it different? Egg yolks. Cupid is made with egg yolks only, giving it this rich, umami flavor that elevates to everything. Chefs use it. Restaurants use it. Who are Chefs work, of course. Food and flavor lovers use it. You haven't tried it yet? Hmph. We'll find the red cap and see what everyone's talking about, why don't you? Cupid. The original Japanese mayonnaise. Cupid! McDonald's is putting value back on the menu. Whether you're craving a big mac, McNuggets are sausage, egg, and cheese, McGrittles, make it a meal, and save. Your favorite is now your wallet's favorite too.

Extra value meals are back. Sun rises, prices fall, get a sausage McMuffin with egg, or sausage egg and cheese, McGrittles, small hot coffee and hash frowns for just six dollars. Price and participation may vary, promotion pricing may be lower than meal pricing. Ba-da-ba-ba-ba. Meet the Red Bull Dragonberry Emergizer. It's one of the many new drinks out now. Who knew ice cold drinks could be so... Fire. Try the ball, only at McDonald's. It was like a terrible nightmare. Even now I sometimes wait for the dream and find myself shaking from the memory of it. I'll ever forget when I first saw him. A man so monstrous, so unhuman. Should I refuse to think it could ever happen again to anyone else? But who can be sure? Others have had the same idea? Oh yes, the law for digits, but laws are broken every day. Will it happen again to someone else someday in the future?

Perhaps, perhaps it will happen to many. I don't want to see it. To hear the story of this strange monster, listen to the moment, two thousand pluss. Two thousand, one. Ten thousand. Ten thousand. Ten thousand. Ascension is in a world of tomorrow. The magic story of science fiction from the years beyond 2000 AD. Today, an amazing story of science unconcord. A giant walks.

A giant walks. A giant walks. A giant walks. Monsters, that's what you are monsters. Yes, I declare you a slimy stomach. These are the answers, Dr. Jack. Always see the rest. If you wait, they're not already. If I wait, I can't always wait. I can't wait. I won't go twice to the market. Four feet long can be quite a mess. Yes, yes, yes, Dr. L's worth. Is everything ready, Western? Yes, Dr. L's. I'm still on the sketch. Open the cage. Look at it, cool. I've seen a rep run a maze, a rep. Check that gold gradient, Western. Yes, Dr.

The rats and the food box now. It's very scary. 11.8 there. You see, Westerns, not an unusual intelligence. You're high. Well above that of the average rats. Look at them. The power and those lights. First of all, just imagine what they could do with their teeth if they had the chance. It's frightening to think what would happen if all rats were giant rats. If they got a loose, it's evolution, barstole. Nearly the scientific elimination of good barriers. Not that your experiments are successfully confel the world. Your theories will be accepted. You'll regain your right for place in science, such as barstole. Not yet. I'm already at work on what I consider will be an ultimate experiment. It's only a matter of calculating, checking, and verifying data on the rats. So we can build a larger pituitary revitalizer. What animal do you have in mind for this new experiment, Dr. Rathman? But animal?

Well, there's only one that I could possibly be interested in now. It's the next logical step. Surely you can't lead a barstole. A man. You wanted to say me, Dr. Rathman? Yes, Wester. I want to talk to you about the experiment on human beings. I want you to help me with the experiment. Hi. I hope you're not thinking of me, Dr. Rathman. I made a goal. Think about it, Wester. Don't you think it would be valuable to give yourself to science? Well, it would seem it has so many to choose from. So many Western. Oh, for example, I'm sure the old Hawkins won't do. And we really can't get enough animal, anyone. But after I was with, I would say it would be a great honor to be the first real Superman on Earth.

Well, how about barstole? Exactly, Wester. Just what I was leading up to. It is very weird. Yeah, in barstole we have a real physical specimen. And he sings there when a foulish enthusiasm for the future of mankind. In other to you, apparently, don't share. How could we get him to agree to it? Psychology, Wester. It's merely a matter of appealing in the proper manner to his scientific judgments and sense of their play. Now here is what I want you to do when he gets back. Well, glad to see you back barstole. Wester, tell me you're ready to begin the final experiment on man. Yes, barstole. I soon hope to be the first of a new race.

A race that will make the man of today look like a big lady, puny and insignificant. If the experiment succeeds, my physical size will double or even triple. I'll be able to live at least 300 years instead of a 100 or so odd years a man can expect a baby. The brain cells will probably also expand giving me an intelligence that will make you and Wester look like products of the story. Well, I don't think it's fair for you to sacrifice yourself. It's not fair to humanity. If you died, I'll be nobody to carry on. I don't know these experiments are really good. We could never find another subject. It would have to be one of us three or nobody. I'd be willing to take the chance, Dr. Rouser, and so on I. You cast us through with us, Dr. Rouser. You need us to directly expand that gentleman, gentlemen. I see you have the true scientific spirit. Well, since I am unwilling to give up my right to be the subject and you're unwilling to let me be the subject and there's only one way out. What's that? We'll draw lots. If you agree, be the decision of the fate.

That sounds like a good idea. What do you think, Dr. Barstow? I... sure. Yes, sir? Well, it's the only way out, my boy. One of us must be the kidney patient. Now I'll tear a three-stress paper. Now, the lots are arranged in my hand. Whoever gets the short one will submit to the experiment and there'll be no further objection from any of us. To greet our great right, choose, gentlemen. Western? Barstow. Myself. Hmm. I've gone the short one. Yes. I'd like... I'd like some time to see Barbara, Dr. Rouser, before the experiment. I'll give you three weeks of straight-night warfare at Barstow. Then I'll expect you back at the laboratory.

I'm tax-alight open. That's the circuit system that's enough. Well, Barstow, are you ready? I'm ready, Dr. Rouser. You know it may be things for the first, but after the primary series, I don't think you'll notice much. I'm not worried, Dr. Rouser. No, of course not. Well, good luck, my boy. Thank you, sir. I'll tax open Weston. Yes, Dr.. Then, light the circuit. Now, that's fine. I'll keep it steady, or three thousand. With care for the first injection, we'll give him fire electronic unit charges. Now, Barbara. Barbara. What are you feeling, Barstow? Pain. My old body is numb. You've got to stop the experiment, Dr. Rouser.

He's out again. Dr. Rouser, you think we're doing the right thing? It's not going to slow down so much. I'm afraid. Oh, what, Western? You're not losing him there, Barrio. Oh, no, no. Oh, only did I thought I'd do any thinking, Weston. Now, do that part of it. You just check to regenerate the charts. Very well, after, Weston. Nothing is going to keep me from completing this experiment. And I warn you not to try to, and if you're Weston, I'll close the circuit. We'll then check again. 100 CCs. Now, Barbara. It seems to come back in place. It's going to stop. It's going to stop. Oh, no, no, no. It seems to come back. You know what? I can't believe it, Dr. Rouser. Look at him. 12 feet tall and you weigh 750 pounds. Of course, Weston.

As I told you, there's a very little difference, really. They do not wrap in the man. They're all animal, but, doctor, during the past few days. You think his body can stand the strain of all this growth certainly. In fact, I think we're given the final super injection today. About 500 cc should do it. 500. That's five times what we've been giving to us. We're building a new skeletal structure, new flesh, cartilage, and bones. Contextual from David's steadiest 6,000. We've got the provided the final shot for the system. But now it's completely opened, Dr. Erwin. All right. Now. Our question. We've done it. He's 30 feet tall, the best image. Fustle. Can you hear the? Can you understand what I say?

He's a human. He's a slowly. Slowly. Going on an ordinary human being anymore. Okay. He's getting up. Hey, what's happening to me? Why is everything so small? Our experiment is a success, Bustle. You're a Superman. I've made you a Superman. When I get moved, my head is touching the sky like a stupendous Bustle. That's a really tall and a side of a laboratory. I think you can crawl through that. A Superman. He's a Bustle. Eris slowly. Eris. Well, how is the world look now that you have the mental role? Small. The world is very small.

The most beautiful muscle and bone. It's my creation. My creation. Oh, my creation. Western. That's every report about adjusting so far. The best I can figure, Dr., the subject that lift almost 20 times as much weight as an ordinary man. And run approximately 60 miles an hour without difficulty. Not only enough, though, he appears to get a long fine on four or five hours sleep a night. What is consuming food at a rate that's all out of proportion, that's understandable, is still making him adjustments. Go on. Natalie, very superior. He appears to be able to solve the most complicated problems right in his head. So just as I predicted. This morning, though, after I just finished giving him the work test, he pulled up a tree by the roots. Waited at me. It's frightening.

I ran and he began laughing. Sounded more like thunder. Western, you're living your rematchination run away with you. It's quite obvious what's the matter. He's not getting enough exercise. We've got to give him more physical work to do. Come on. Very good. They're sitting on that hill and staring. What's all? Yes, Dr. Al's was. I want you to take this special shovel with me for you. I take a trash. Western will march it out for you and check your working speed. All right, Dr. Al's, whatever you say. See? It's quite simple. Just got to keep him occupied. Dr. Al's with I'd like to ask you a question. Yes. What are we going to do with Basto? I mean, why don't we go to tell the world about it? This is Steve Covino from Covino and Rich.

All right, quick round of trivia before we get back into the show. But we're doing it differently this time. Every guy listening right now, you're contestant. No buzzers, no calling in. Just answer honestly to yourself. Here we go. You got a belly and a little chest that won't go away no matter what you try. Gasped by the middle of the afternoon. No drive left in the tank. And lastly, you lack that confidence in mental edge. Fellows, here's the thing. Those are classic signs that your testosterone's been sliding. And nothing drags it down faster than extra weight.

This is Matt Rogers from Los Culturistas with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang.

This is Bowen Yang from Los Culturistas with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang. Okay, we've been talking about Cupid Mail for a minute now, Bowen. Wow, the feedback we're getting. I mean, so many of you all love this stuff. You're stopping us in the street going, I love Cupid. And if you're thinking, wait, what is Cupid? Do you not have the internet? It's the OG Japanese mayonnaise. The one with the red cap and the little baby on the bottle. Once you know what, you start seeing it everywhere. People ask what makes it different from basic mail? Will the answer? Egg yolks. Cupid is made with egg yolks only. Giving it this incredibly rich umami flavor that elevates everything. Burgers, fries, sandwiches, chicken, noodles, chefs use it, restaurants use it, people who really love food and flavor use it. Whatever you're eating, Cupid it. So if you haven't tried Cupid yet, find the bottle with the red cap and see what everyone's talking about. You'll understand, Cupid, the original Japanese mayonnaise.

We can't go on and continue it this way. It's just a course we can. Once we're sure of ourselves, we'll get it right. We'll make giants of them. We're building a raceway. A race of supermen with which we conclude the world. If only we learn how to control Barcelona, so he'll respond to whatever command, then we'll build an army. That's not right. You know what's in your good assistance? It's only what you think that you get into trouble. Oh, my God. Basta, are you awake? What do you want? I'm a stalker. Dr. Ellsworth wants to use me for the next experiment. What's that to me?

I don't think you understand. He's working at a method that controls you electronically as a giant. What he's been waiting for. And when he can finally control you, you'll begin to make more giants. What's the built-in army of giants so we can take over the world? That isn't true. Dr. Ellsworth is interested only in science. You just don't want to be a freak as I am. Cut off from everything. Just because I was unlucky at drawing lots. Oh no. Not a lucky bar, sir. Framed. Dr. Ellsworth and I agreed to volunteer just to get you to volunteer. We... We arranged a lot so that you would be chosen. No, no, no. Please, master. That's why I let you know. I want you to do something about it before it's too late. You're way better to. Where are you going?

Dr. Ellsworth. Dr. Ellsworth. What are you doing at my window? I have come to tell you I can't go on with these experiments. I'm through, Dr. Ellsworth. I'm sorry, big barso. Go back to your quarters and the barn will talk about it in the morning. I can't go back to the barn, why not? I'm tired of living in the barn. I knocked it down, mom, down barso. Calm down before you do any more, damn it. Yes, Dr. Ellsworth. That's just what you're like, isn't it? For me, just calm down. To become nothing but a giant fool in your hands. A tool for conquest and revenge. Isn't that so, Dr. Ellsworth? I don't know what you're talking about. You know all right. And what's more important, I know, Dr. Ellsworth. I know that you tricked me into volunteering for this experiment.

What if I did? You were the best physical specialist. You're the best staff at nothing to carry out your hideous experiments. You churro-man kind. Ha! That's a good one. You're not interested in mankind at all. You're only interested in building a super race for your own ends. You want an army of giants so you can take over the world, a man-bombed soul. You're my subject and you have no right to behave this way. If I had the control of finish... You're not out at all. Yes, Dr. Ellsworth. And that's just what I ought to do to you. You have no more right to live than I. How much space does it take for a 30-foot man to kill an ordinary man with his fifth Dr. Ellsworth? Figure that out. What are you going to do? I'm not going to do anything to you. I am going to let the world science counsel know about your experiments.

They'll know what to do about you. And you can't leave your amongst the three. The world's world is three to four souls. Besides you have an obligation. You're not set by your soul for science. It's gone. I saw my plans, Rowan. Yes, Western. You did this to me. You told him about my plans. Yes, Dr. Ellsworth. Oh, you've ruined the experiment, Western. You'll be great science. You have no right to live. Oh, you decide these things come in sight, Western. Now, a gun right. Come along now, Western. There's one rustic experiment I want of a bomb. I'm curious to see how a man can stand up against the giant right. No, please, please, Ellsworth. I'll go anything you want. I don't want to die. I'll be the subject of a new experiment, Western. Shut up, son of those things, no fault.

Stagged, Bill. There. Right. By the chase. Shut up now. That's what it means. No, that's not what it means. I don't think it's allowed me. I don't think it's allowed me. No, that's not what it means. Hey, Ellsworth, you're left. Y'all, man, let me have a check. Try tonight. Oh, it's a lovely night. You're arriving with you, Bob. Hey, Ellsworth, you hear something? The mind, me. Hello, listen. Ah, I can't imagine it. Oh, I can't imagine it. Oh, I can't imagine it. This looks like a man. I see it. I see it. The giant, standing in the wrong foot. I'm trying to call you a long quick. Nothing is on the sand. I'm going to put it in. Why are you afraid of me? I just want to talk to you. I won't hack you.

Put it down. Put it down your mouth, bitch. I am not a nut, still. I mean, you know what? We're back on the road. You didn't hurt us. What are you going to do? I know, please. I got a note about this giant. Following all rockets' brown and space patrol, the first on 6.047 immediately. Space patrol is taking place on Highway 9. Before the human get up there, the speed of 40 feet high. Maybe dangerous. Maybe dangerous. Hey, last rocket, damn. This is our main. Just a look. I have an inmate from next. All rockets. Just a start of time before the enemy is taking the area. Maybe just follow them. I'm coming.

They're heading against you. I have to say, hold on. There's nothing moving. It's a step. A lot of things. Some of that. But what about it? Rocket once they're able to be in a control tower. A rocket is creature of all of the lab related direction of the Cantercerry. But close the map. You got one 7-A-Sake and deep-barked. I have all of you with a rocket car. Enjoying you. Okay, Sam, one in and out now. Safety out the flag, huh? For five, couple of warning shots. From down. Safety out. All right. Stop it. He's way through his hands. Where's that going? He's coming. This is the speed to this one to control. Come in, one 17. Come in. Atleast, hurry. It's a little bit for a target. That's ready. Hold this. Repeat. Hold it. He's swinging. We're going to finish it. We're going to finish it. That roll control calling 117. That roll control calling 117. They don't answer, Conditioner. I'm found it.

Why can't we get a video screen, thanks? I'm working, honestly. Give it up, my friend. All police jets and air rockets. All jets and air rockets, attention. Attention. Rocket 117 has been attacked by the giant. Contact is the last. Take battle formation, blue. Prepare for attack. Prepare for attack. Good luck. We'll blast that creature up, existence. What could it be, sir? An envelope and another planet? It's possible. We can only get that video fixed. I'm getting a collection. Look, there he is. Who happens with an enormous creature? Yes, I see it. Calling all rocket. Take elevation 3000 and prepare the time on target. Police commissioner, you can. It's a battle emergency. Who likes you in the control room? It's about the giant. Go stop your attack. Oh, crazy. That creature's a man. He's knocked down one of our rockets and now we're going to kill him. But you're not a spam, sir. What happened at all? All of the elevation 3000. Target's in view. Look at the camera. On the video screen. Where they open up on them, so I can just give the order. No, no, no. You've got to call off the attack, commissioner. Look to the right of the giant. There, that's more hill. Those two men have a rocket 117.

They're working on molested dark junction lines. Thanks, God they're alright. Sorry, you see. He's nothing to it. Stop the attack. That creature's been running berserk. And let the command roll ships. So all the positions until I get the order. Unless the giant attack. Yes, sir. Order. Hello, sir. What are you all about? That creature's been running berserk. I'm not a bad actor. I have to help you. You're being named by government's head of the Arctic Laboratory. You were just not being called an alien. I'm not the Weston AI. I work in that laboratory. Well, I don't know. Not either. We've got to do something about him. You don't have to do a thing. It'll all be over in a few minutes. Nothing happens. I don't see the giant anymore. What do you mean all over it, Dr. Weston? Look at the video screen. There. That's what I mean. Good heavens. It's amazing. Squad leader 20 to control tower. Something has happened here. So I don't see the giant as disappointed. One of our orders. All police, Jess and Rocket. Attack, cancel. Ray Fate. Attack, cancel.

So you see Barbara, I had a thank Western Asteroid. He's a disagreeable character. But if he had an actor so promptly, he was only found out. Those rockets would have finished me. Those were trying to kill Weston, didn't they? After you broke away. Yes, with the rats. Western managed to get outside the cage, and they killed Dr. Elzworth instead. And shortly after that, the rats fell into a coma and Weston examined one by X-ray. And he discovered that the new bone structure was in the process of dissolving into cartilage. And that cartilage into flesh, which would soon melt away. And he realized their size had only been maintained by the injections. And it soon be back to their original skeletal structure. That's why he went to the police. Yes, but how did he know you'd true, too? He's got to be stuck getting rid of the injections. Oh, seeing you're here like this, I can't believe all of stories in the paper of oxygen. A horrible picture. I can hardly believe it myself, Barbara. It's like a sad dream. Oh, yes. Here's what I came back for.

Dr. Elzworth, say. Oh, what's in it? Here they are. And here they go. She'll find them. Here's the scientifically searched up in flames. But I don't want another man ever to go through what I did. I don't want him to humanity. To be just a specimen in some side of zoo. I found out one thing, Barbara. Pignus doesn't matter a size. A man can be 35 tall or he can be 6 feet tall. So he has in his heart that counts. This world doesn't need bigger, more powerful physical specimens. He needs a man with pigness of soul. Who can love respect their fellow men. Next week, another exciting story on 2000 Plus. A strange adventure of a man who found nothing and was terrified.

Be sure to listen next week to a long. 2000 Plus is produced by dryer and well-sufferations and cooperators. It's a big cast. The opportunity that was by a doll. And we know how the child works on fun with lessons. Right now, Barbara, watching lots of space for a share. And proof of her is a fun. A set was written by a sweet designer. A music was composed by a literature copy. They worked in a truck and looked by Amazon Buckley. Now, it's all saved at the Indian Center. As an airsoft ball, right? This is the end of the thing. A music was composed by a literature copy. They worked in a truck and looked by Amazon Buckley. Now, it's all saved at the Indian Center. As an airsoft ball, right? This is the end of the thing.
