Who flies across the country to be on national television, and then it just doesn&#8217;t go right? That&#8217;s just fun!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So I&#8217;ve been telling the story forever, and always I would get the comment that it didn&#8217;t happen. You know, we need some footage, or it didn&#8217;t happen.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I&#8217;d be like, &#8220;I have it on VHS at my mother&#8217;s house!&#8221; <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It exists, but I didn&#8217;t have the technological know-how to transfer it from VHS to digital and upload it to all those things.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Luckily, I don&#8217;t know who, but somebody did it for me.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Now it&#8217;s on YouTube, and <a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/agKBK_igA4Q\">anybody can go look up the Sonic on Rosie O&#8217;Donnell clip<\/a>!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As the story goes, they did everything correct, except they forgot to tell Rosie that Sonic was going to speak to her.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">They didn&#8217;t give her a monitor so she could hear me.&nbsp; So when you watch the clip, it looks like Rosie&#8217;s being aloof or kind of rude towards Sonic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is because the studio audience could hear me, and everybody watching at home could hear me &#8211; but Rosie couldn&#8217;t.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I&#8217;m saying these things, Rosie&#8217;s kind of ignoring me &#8211; it makes for kind legendary, hilarious clip.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Gamers Heroes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And I saw your Fire and Ice RGX clip too!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">This weekend!!
