[00:00:00]Why do millennials love the Green Rangers so much?

[00:00:08]>> If you were a kid in the early 90s, you know that the Power Rangers took over like Beetle Mania took over in the 60s.

[00:00:14]And damn sure that rise had a lot to do with the Green Ranger Tommy Oliver played by Jason David Frank. His character didn't even start off on the show. We got to know the original five rangers. Mastadon, >> Pterodactyl, >> Triceratops, >> SABATU TIGER, >> TYRANNOSAURUS. AND DURING THAT TIME, we thought those five guys couldn't get beat. If they were together, they were winning that fight. Until a five-part series titled Green with Envy, and we met the Green Ranger. Not only did Tommy Oliver, not even using his powers yet, beat the dog out of all five of the Rangers when he actually used his powers, he completely disrespected the Rangers, jumped inside the head of the Zord and kicked all their asses out. Do y'all understand how disrespectful it is to go in somebody's house and throw them out? Now, eventually the Power Rangers did overcome and Tommy joined them. And you talk about was exciting when they formed that dragon Megazord.

[00:01:10]And of course, rest in peace to our boy Jason David Frank who lost his battle to mental health in 2022. Jason for me will always be a reminder that even the strongest of us sometimes need to get a little help. Rest in peace, Jason.

[00:01:24]You're dearly missed.
