    100 guys vs a gorilla

Transcript

Alright. Everyone's talking about who good win a 100 people versus a gorilla, and everyone's wrong. A 100 people all day. Dudes are just capable of so much more mentally than a gorilla. Like, dudes will good a plane and just fly it into a thing. Like to see a gorilla even drive a car. So, yeah, gotta go with a 100 dudes, and these are the dudes I'm sending out this dumb idiot. I'm gonna send the, you're not that guy, pal guy. You're not that guy, pal. Trust me. You're not that guy. Just to let him know, like, today's not your day. Set the tone. So after him, we gotta send in Eliza Thornberry because she can talk to animals and she can translate that to the gorilla. That will really also throw the gorilla off his game. Like, what the fuck? Good never seen this before. And now we're already in his head. It's over at that point. Let's throw in, the animorphs. These are kids that can turn into animals. Checkmate. You know? The Power Rangers. Throw the Green Ranger too. They'll throw in Walter White because I also like that TV show. Draymond Green, David Blaine, rank actual wizard that knows real magic, the car from Cars, the tier guy from Mad Max, your mom, Francis Ngannou, a guy with a gun, a strong woman, one dead Pope, one alive Pope, a gorilla, the thousand pound sisters and a thousand guys. So, I think that should do it. Guerrilla stands no chance. Tell the gorilla I said it.
