Pangular Nearly, episode 339. What's up, boys?
Hello, everyone.
Hello.
How's everyone doing? So, Kyle, you're having a cup of coffee after your Bang Energy?
It's not quite...
That was yesterday. That was yesterday. I've only been awake for 20 minutes.
So, yeah. I was just... We were just chatting for a few seconds before we started,
and we were talking about those Bang energy drinks that uh taylor drinks sometimes i was super unfamiliar with them i guess they've got like creatine and like
bcaas and shit and i don't know so it's a pre-workout more than just an energy drink
it's not i guess that's kind of the idea but but they're sold right alongside like red bull and
monster um red bull is usually my go-to it seems like everybody
who's five years younger than me is like no you want that monster and it's like that's just a lot
for me to drink 12 years older i guess or whatever it is i am i don't know everybody likes monster
the white zero calorie monsters those are the ones i have those are the best kind but like
one of those the 16 ounce can isn't even like half as strong as
a bang energy yeah so i i saw the bang energy and uh i remembered you were drinking them and
they came in pina colada which is really like my favorite flavor of anything so yeah it was pretty
tasty it did taste like pina colada calorie didn't have zero yeah no calories not a lot all right yeah it's the
best possible calorie amount rather low do you know what the sweder was was it aspartame
oh i i don't give a fuck it could it could have been arsenic for all i care i don't i don't think
that probably aspartame that's the most common one i think when i have a choice i'm sorry taylor
yeah i cut you off can you finish finish that? Yeah, I was saying
it's definitely not Stevia in this.
Is it that you
prefer an all-natural
sweetener or is it like, no,
I'm just used to
Stevia now. That's the one that
I have the taste buds for. It's kind of a mix
of the two.
I use Stevia every day in my
coffee. By the way, there is liquid stevia which
i found to be terrible and chemically i've heard that makes any sense not a fan and then there is
a new improved flavor stevia that looks like sugar and i find it to be very good so um so that's
what i have every day so it's just and then they're like as aspartame, I've heard things here and there in that like, well, aspartame, actually, while it doesn't give you calories, it does make you hungry or something like that.
So there's that.
And then we have personal experience where it makes Colin crazy.
So we try to avoid it in the house.
Are you saccharine? Is that also sweet and low? Yeah. We try to avoid it in the house. Like, so, um,
I use saccharin.
Is that also sweet and low?
Yeah.
Yeah.
That's sweet and low.
Yeah.
I use,
uh,
I use saccharin.
Uh,
I don't care what anybody says about saccharin.
I don't care if it kills.
I mean,
they're like,
Oh,
do you know how many rats it killed?
And it's like,
I could use a dual purpose.
I could use a dual purpose sweetener in my home.
That sounds great.
You're telling me that if I get mice in the cupboard,
they're doomed?
Perfect.
Perfect.
And the way they do those testing on rats,
it's not like, well, this rat has a varied diet,
and every once in a while,
we'll give him a little bit of something with saccharin in it.
It's like, all right, this rat, from birth to death,
will eat nothing but saccharin.
Nothing.
The air he'll breathe will have little bits of saccharin.
All right, inject the saccharin air.
How do we get
a gallon of saccharin into a rat?
I don't give a fuck. I'll look it down.
As long as you don't breathe it, very safe.
Yeah, I hear you.
I don't believe any of that. Greg Doucette was like,
just eat the artificial sweetener.
It doesn't matter what kind. You think somehow you've broken the laws of physics and you have a zero calorie sweetener
that'll give you calories we gotta get this stuff powering motor vehicles then
uh yeah you're absolutely right yeah i don't think it matters i think it's the one that tastes the
best and for me like um the thing about saccharin is it's so powerful that just a dusting is like...
I put it in my coffee and I don't buy the packets because that seems like a huge waste of time.
I buy the baker's bag.
So I get half a pound of it at a time.
And half a pound lasts a month.
Because I go... And it sweetens a cup of coffee. pound of it a time and half a pound lasts like a month dude because i take i go and it like
sweetens a cup of coffee so i get uh packets of stevia and all the packets seem 80 empty like
the amount of stevia you need to get the equivalent of sugar is very small it is it is about 20 25
of what you get in a sugar packet dude once a once a week, I have to go through my office
and pick up like
25 empty of these.
Like, once a week, just go through.
It's a plug. I need to do it now.
This is Perry A's.
You know what the worst fucking sweetener is, though?
It's fucking monk fruit.
You ever that monk fruit shit?
Oh my god, this monk fruit sweetener.
It tastes bitter. It's like monk fruit sweetener. It tastes bitter.
It's like the opposite of what sweet is.
That's what the bad stevia is like that too.
It's awful.
It's awful.
But the good stuff's good.
That bang you were talking about, Kyle, like you said it didn't get you, like you thought there'd be more energy.
Like the first time I tried to bang was probably a year or so ago and I hadn't been taking
caffeine pills and it was so much that it turned me off them forever, like for a while.
I had a can of bang for – I drank it, I think, three weeks ago, two weeks ago maybe.
And it had been in there since 2019 because I associated it with like you're going to get intense anxiety from this.
And then after taking the 200-milligram pills, I worked up to the 300 milligram bang.
And now like it is the absolute most amount of caffeine I can consume and not
get sweaty.
Like I'm really wired.
So I have a theory.
I'd like to ask a doctor about this because this is,
this is just my little theory.
I know that with like Adderall,
for example,
like people who actually have ADD,
when they take Adderall, they get really focused and it just kind of fixes their ADD.
Whereas it seems like for everybody else, it's like a party drug.
They're like, oh, yeah, I've heard so many people be like, it's better than cocaine.
It's better than cocaine.
So, you know, it's talking about how like wild it makes them.
And I'm just like, oh,, it makes me want to clean the house
and get it done real well. And once it's clean, I'm like,
you know, I didn't clean it well enough. I could have cleaned better.
Why didn't I do a good job?
That's why I go back.
My iTunes playlist is totally disorganized.
I'm on it. Yeah. That's how it makes me feel.
It does.
When I took it in college, I would do exactly
what you said. I'd be super focused. I'd get a lot of work done.
I'd tidy. I'd clean. Always, it'd be like, I'm going what you said i'd be super focused i'd get a lot of work done i'd tidy i'd clean always it'd be like i'm gonna buckle down i got my friend's adderall
i'm gonna take that and then i'm just gonna do fucking a ton of of writing for this paper and
then it'd be like three hours into the adderall and it's like i've been cleaning the whole time
like i need to i need to start working but like wondrous you're working so hard but in conjunction
with that hard work is a tremendous amount of anxiety like everything is like could tip over like you're
so on it anxiety is something that that you experience more than average like i've only
had one adderall ever and i didn't have that caffeine did you mention anxiety with caffeine
or just sweats if i have too much i i get like i don't share that yeah yeah relax motherfucker you're hypertensive
i guarantee it have you tried to get your blood pressure checked i'm sure it is that my dad is a
healthier weight than me and he had a heart attack like two years when did you get your blood pressure
checked last not even kidding oh uh okay never mind go to amazon and get a blood pressure cuff
because it was like 10 weeks ago
when i got uh because my uh fiance she has one and she did it for me and it was fine but my
cholesterol was the iffy thing wait now does she have the she has a legit one it's a real one okay
what would the alternative to that be kyle well it's not an app at first uh i don't want to continue with my train of thought for
for a reason it doesn't matter um all right it sounds like you're all good to go then
but but that's that's an awful lot of anxiety what i was getting at is when i took the bang
i literally fell asleep i like blow like we were at the grocery store i was shopping for like a
valentine's dinner.
I was like getting all that stuff together.
And I was like, oh, pina colada.
Bang.
That sounds like a good time.
And I drank it on the drive back to my house, which is like minutes.
And when I got back, sat down, like sat up in bed and like watched an episode of Rick and Morty and fell asleep for three hours.
You know what? It's just not not enough i am your parallel on that i i my caffeine tolerance it's a problem
my caffeine tolerance is just like kyle's and i don't want it to be and at this point i'll have
like two coffees and a caffeine pill to get ready for my workout that's 450 milligrams of caffeine
and and i have had two coffees and a nap not long ago right like it taylor's over there with like
anxiety issues and i'm like you know coffee just i like the two years ago i had a coffee a week and
it was very effective on me now it's not the same it's you can take a tolerance break and you can
get right back to uh
two weeks though right i don't know how long it takes with marijuana radiance like you take like
four days off it's not gonna have done nothing like it'll boost you that's how it is with weed
because like if i would take like just two or three days off it'd be like oh that hit hard
that first hit of weed was like a little while since we've been this high
and then if i took like a week off it's like buckle up boys and at this point you know i've
taken like a year off so it's like you're gonna get high as a kite i've had diet dr peppers in
my fridge forever that i want to drink with dinner but every night i convince myself like
you don't need caffeine this late.
It'll keep you up.
Just like a Diet Dr. Pepper,
that amount of caffeine.
God, it's been more than a year.
I do the opposite of that, Ted.
I'll be like, it's 8 p.m.
I cannot take a nap at 9 p.m.
because this will ruin my sleep tonight.
So I'll take a coffee at 8 p.m.
so that I get better rest that night.
Oh, no.
If I drank a coffee at 8 p.m i'd be like all
right all night stream like i'm not gonna be able for me it's like a little bit of caffeine
well will literally like put me to sleep like if i have like two coffees oh that's relaxed that's
like having some tea it lets some chamomile for me it'sile for me. I drink that all the time to help me sleep
because I have a lot of trouble falling asleep
even without caffeine.
I'll take valerian root or drink a bunch
of really strong chamomile tea.
Yeah, I do too.
Melatonin. Some people swear by it.
I can't tell a big difference.
That stuff's Z-Quil. It works pretty well.
I take Derek's shit.
I bought that. i don't know if
it's that one does that say what is that oh i think this is a girl a dream this is sleeping
i think when you held it up it was mirrored on my camera so it's hard to read but yeah sorry
dude that shit gave me nightmares i i really like three nights in a row. So it advertises that it gives you vivid dreams.
And I think the first night that I got it.
Horrifying nightmares.
On a side note, my braces this week have been extra tough.
Sometimes you put a new tray in and it's like, oh, this is a bitch tray.
You know, by tomorrow it'll feel like it's not doing anything.
And sometimes you put a tray in and you're like, you're kind of a bully asshole.
Like I'm going to go six days of hard teeth moving so this week is one of those and i put in my new tray i
have a brand new bottle of gorilla dreams right i can't i was all excited and uh i had teeth related
nightmares i woke up three times just like with i don't know either big teeth or big head
or like anywhere they're falling out no is that one of the most common nightmares out there is
dreaming about your teeth i do you just i'm just spitting them into my hand it's like and you know
what's great this is one of the things i don't want to completely shift the sopranos or anything
but like because i do i do have sopranos news like in a few minutes, but like,
and then my dick fell off.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And then my, my, my, my, what is it called?
Not piece you do.
That's what they call a toilet.
Anyway, there's that one where Tony like is spitting his teeth into his hand and his,
his high school football coach is like, hang on to those.
Like, like, and it's like yeah they got
dreams so perfect in tony's dream sequence yeah yeah i as a listener i find dream talk boring as
a talker i always like it's so vivid and interesting to me but the next couple nights i had like the
old high school didn't do my homework thing oh yeah imposs possibly behind in a course. And I have this recurring thing where
I finished my college degrees and I finished my master's degree, but they found out I like
cheated on my homework in high school and I have to redo some classes to get that one.
And I'm like, do I even care about this one? You don't, by the way, if you have your college
degrees, you don't need a high school degree. i have a friend that's a fucking doctor who didn't graduate college because he got accepted into
med school so he's like well i'll just do that and that's what he did he went to med school
finished med school he's a doctor but no college degree no high school degree in his case it's
college oh it's my nightmare it was straight... I saw a malicious compliance.
I'm sorry, if you have more... Go ahead.
I saw this malicious compliance
on Reddit.
For anyone who doesn't know,
it's situations where people...
It's usually authoritarian
or rigid
structural situations.
You've got to do this.
They're like, oh yeah?
I'll do it this way. How do you like that? We don't want you gotta do this and they're like oh yeah well i'll do it this way how do you like
that and like well we don't want you to do it that way because then we'll have to file a 1073
with the and wait a minute maybe we'll do it your way no i'm gonna do it your way and uh and so this
kid um like fails high school because he missed one day of gym, one too many days of gym or something like that.
And they're like, well, you don't get to walk.
You don't get a diploma.
You come back next year and you repeat gym.
And he's like, are you kidding me?
Like you're going to fail.
You're going to not give me my diploma because i missed a day of gym
and he's like super stressed out about it and so he talks to the tech school that he's going to go
to he's going to become some sort of engineer or something and and they're like well we don't you
don't need a high school diploma to attend here you just need a high school diploma to graduate from here or a GED. So you can start classes here at,
you know, Jimmy Jew technical school, you know, next May when it's time with everyone else.
And as, and you know, in two years or four, depending on which program you want to do,
uh, as long as you've gotten your GED by then, which is just a cinch,
you're good to go. You'll get your diploma. And he's like, oh,
okay, then good to know. So he goes back into this meeting with the principal and the counselors and everything. And they're like, yeah,
again, we're not going to budge on this. You've got to
repeat gym next year. And he's like, oh like oh okay i guess i'll just drop out then
and they're like what wait what well you can't do that then you can't go to college and he's like
actually my college doesn't mind i'm just gonna get a ged i wonder how a dropout's gonna look on
the on your record here to the to the state and they're like well wait a minute now maybe we could
no i'm dropping out you can go ahead and do the paperwork see you guys and they're like, well, wait a minute now. Maybe we could. No, I'm dropping out.
You can go ahead and do the paperwork.
See you guys.
And they're just like, fuck!
Fuck!
I like it.
We overplayed our hand.
We overplayed our hand.
Good for him.
Fuck nonsense rules like that.
Who cares about missing Jim?
Like, what do you do with nonsense for missing Jim?
Yeah, so what happened to me was I broke my arm in a car accident my junior year in
high school. And I it's obvious in retrospect, but at the time I didn't realize that I was missing
like Jim credits, you know, so they actually thought I was playing hooky. They the school
one hands on talking to the other and they put me in a study hall because he can't do gym with a
broken arm. And so I'm there in the study hall every day just doing study hall shit and they call me into the office and they're
like woody uh where were you the last five weeks at 2 p.m and i'm like i was in study hall this is
like a thing that we did you could check attendance and it was cool but i didn't have credits combine
that with maybe an f or something because I'm a terrible student.
And the next year as a senior, unbeknownst to me,
I didn't have enough credits the previous quarter to play sports.
So all I really knew was the GPA requirement.
I think I had a 2.0 or something, but I didn't have the credits.
And so I go, I swim swim i take to it like a fish
to water i don't know swimming and uh and uh like we have two meets and now all of a sudden there's
this problem we won these meets partially because of my contribution and the team is looking at
taking two losses because they fielded an ineligible swimmer.
And they're looking at me like I'm an asshole, but it wasn't intentional.
I didn't know.
My grades were high enough.
And it was because I didn't have gym.
If I had, I would have had enough credits, and that's how I got kind of fucked.
And the resolution was the team didn't have to take the losses.
They would have won with or without me and um i just trained like i swam uh practices but not meets until christmas
when the grades came in and then i joined all the meats but kind of sucked we had some nonsense like
that i mean more just circumventing the rules nonsense in high school for my hockey team.
And so like the way I know, like in Texas, in some places, it's like the high school football team.
Like that's the really good team.
That's where they're scouting to get the best of the best.
Hockey is very different.
Nobody for college is getting scouted out of high school teams because if they're good enough to play for those high school teams,
they're if they're if they're any good, they're not going to spend their time playing.
Those high school teams are going to play for Central States or AAA or something like that and travel around where actual scouts are going.
And so a lot of us who played on more competitive teams saw our high school team kind of like fucking around a little more.
And it was me and one other guy specifically.
And I always, you know, I was the starting goalie, so I had to be there.
I was never late for practices and things. When you're the goalie, you see it as much as like, you need to
be there for your team. Like it's rude. Like how are they going to get better at shooting if you're
not there? This guy was a forward and he was far and away the best forward in the league.
It wasn't even close. He's the guy I've mentioned. He would show up high and drunk all the time and
talk shit to like our coach, opposing coaches, but you could not bench him. It would be like,
Alex, you know, it it's it's three minutes before
you're supposed to walk out and he's walking and smelling like pot and like just starting to put
his stuff on and it's like we said alex if you're not here on time you're sitting the first period
or you're sitting the first half of the game and like there were absolutely times where i would
like go to a coach and be like you can't do this to me like you can't do this to me you have to play him
please like he's the kind of guy who would like he'd just get the puck and he'd just be
he would he would yell compliments to himself as he was dangling around kids he'd be like
he was drunk he'd be like oh that was fucking dirty wasn't it you like that
and there was one thing where uh he used to go our high school. He got kicked out of our high school.
And unlike football, basketball, baseball, hockey is never directly tied to the school.
It's always a separate entity for some insurance reason or something.
I don't know.
But like so if he was in the football team and they kicked him out, obviously he can't play on the football team anymore.
And he gets kicked out of the school.
And so the school reaches out to our team and the coaches.
And they're like, hey, Alex can't be on the team anymore. You he gets kicked out of the school. And so the school reaches out to our team and the coaches and they're like,
hey, Alex can't be on the team anymore.
You got to kick him off the team.
And like our coaches had a little powwow and they're like, yeah,
you don't pay us money and we're not technically affiliated with you.
And he's the best player in Missouri.
So no.
And they're like, well, you can't do that.
And it's like, well, I mean,
you can't tell us not to wear the jerseys
because most players still do go to the school.
And like we said, you have no control over this.
If you want us to change our name away from the school,
we can be the fucking St. Louis Sailors.
Who gives a fuck?
And so he just kept playing for the team.
Thank God.
I might have quit if that could get kicked off.
What happened to him?
Did he ever go anywhere?
It sounds like he's got the talent to go somewhere.
But if he's going to be show up high and drunk, he's not going anywhere.
He was too.
He wasn't big enough.
So he was only like five, eight, five, nine.
But he was fast as fuck.
Great hands.
Great shot.
Good vision for the game.
But he also was like one of those cursed people where it's like
he was so good and never ever had to try that i think once he did get to like a junior a level
where you show up and it's like oh wait everybody else is just as talented as me and they've been
putting in like ass busting work for 10 years and i've been getting drunk and high and so he like
he petered out of that pretty quickly and just got a normal job.
But yeah, that was fun to see.
Did he have long hair?
Yes, he did.
He had hockey hair.
Yeah, he had long hockey hair.
Fun guy.
Very fun.
He was not fun in practice, though,
because, again, he had no consideration for anyone else on the ice.
And so it'd be a drill where it's very important
that I stop the first shot,
and then I have to be prepared for a 2- two on oh or something and it's like he would
just disregard entire drills and be like taylor hey and then like just over in the corner he just
starts shooting on me on his own and i would usually respond to him because it'd be like
i'm getting better practice this guy was just a better shooter but uh yeah that was funny i forgot
about that i would never want to play hockey again as a goalie i put in my time i will never put on goalie pads again it wasn't that much
fun at the time if i ever play men's league i am demanding to play out not going to be i will not
be shoehorned into goalie no would you let yourself get shoehorned into goalie nobody wants
that i i've tried it i'm terrible but um so some obviously like therehorned into goalie? Nobody wants that. I've tried it. I'm terrible.
But so some, obviously, like there's aspects of goalie that's no fun, right?
They're shooting at you.
So much is on your shoulders.
And that to me is like the biggest part of it.
Every goal went in because it got past you.
It's not solely your fault.
You're supposed to have some help.
If there's a goalie V3, we all know we fucked up.
But there's still an element of like, it did get past the goalie too.
Every shot got past the goalie.
And there are a lot of, if I don't receive a pass, the consequences on that are pretty low.
If you don't stop an easy one, everybody is like, ugh.
It's horrible.
I can still, in my mind's eye, see the worst goals throughout my hockey playing career that I let in.
One of them, it was at a big tournament in Detroit, I think it was.
I was maybe like 15.
And it was a really shitty rink and like different parts in the ice weren't
all the same consistency like which can really cause some problems with puck bounces and things
but it was 100 my fault it was like two two tied third period very important and like on a bullshit
play they just flip it towards the net to like not ice it but they were like probably at our
blue line they flipped it at me to get like a quick change and like like a lazy piece of shit i like went
down and like only as it was bouncing like put my glove up to grab it and i miscalculated the bounce
and it went over my glove and then i did like just a frantic desperate like no oh no no no and and it
scored on me and it was it was so embarrassing so
embarrassing to then like know that everybody's mad at you everybody who's there is like there is
no if answer buts if we lose it is that guy's fault and that's the way they see it they don't
go hey damn did you notice that uh taylor stopped 41 shots the other guys only had 26 put up against
him no nobody's gonna remember that they'll remember that. Doop, doop.
Oh, so embarrassing.
I hated that.
Yes.
Goalie is, by and large, an undesirable position.
And I say that with confidence because in my leagues, they usually played free.
Everyone else is paying, like, whatever, $400 for the league.
And goalie, like, look, if you're willing to play goalie,
there's no charge.
That's how most men's leagues are.
It's like, all right, 410 for everyone except for the goalie,
and we buy them lunch.
You know?
Every game.
It's like, well, anybody else can have this deal.
You want to throw on the pads?
It's like, ha-ha, you.
No.
Like, it's so like i would rather be in a men's league where we let in 10 every game than play goalie because i want to
score or at least get an assist something i i like defensive stops a lot so taylor if an
offenseman and defenseman have equal talent how many times should the defenseman win as a percentage?
Equal talent.
It's not 50-50.
Oh, the defenseman should be winning the majority of those.
Right.
I was going to say two-thirds.
Would you call that about right?
I'd say probably two-thirds is good.
Yeah.
So I always got like a big charge out of when there was an offenseman that was clearly better than me.
Right?
Like we had guys
who were at nhl experience they were older though like 40 but used to be in the nhl we had guys who
played in the ahl which for people listening is the minor league right below the nhl last year
right last year this guy was in the ahl he's virtually an ahl player and i stop him that was
big for me that was really big like i That was stuff that I liked a lot.
And again, the defenseman's supposed to stop him.
Yeah.
But Woody's not supposed to stop him.
There's not the same thing.
So anyway, I like defensive stops a lot.
That was cool.
I'd be fine playing D also.
I'd probably be better at defense than forward
because I feel like I have a better vision for the game defensively
than obviously forward where I'm like,
I don't know how to cycle the puck down low.
I don't know how to do that.
I would position the back not hard enough or too hard
and fuck up the entire entry.
If I were a forward, I'd be fucking dump and chase.
It's men's league, right?
If the other player's in the position at all, you're happy. It's true like it's men's league right if the other players in the position
at all you're happy it's true it's men's league i doubt it's like man the the raleigh roughnecks
really got a brutal cycle down low we were the buffalo wings yeah i remember that i like the
team we played against the ice holes we played against only here for the beer.
Like some of the names were fun.
Yeah.
Yeah. Maybe I'll,
I mean,
I could play in my yard right now.
Oh,
so fucking here.
Are you,
are you willing to talk about the burst?
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I,
I'm always like,
not wanting to dox you.
No,
no,
no.
It's just,
uh,
I mean a million billion people.
I,
I,
I probably talked to like five different plumbing companies today after I discovered it. So basically it was like maybe 2 p.m. and just like luck. I go down to my basement to grab something and I go to the unfinished area and there's water all over my concrete. And it's like, you know, there's a drainage area. So it's going towards that.
And I'm like, what the fuck?
I'm not like panicked about it because it's workable.
But I look in the corner and there's quite a bit of water.
Like that's bad news.
Fuck.
It's probably in my finished basement area too.
So I have my unfinished area that's pretty large with my hockey, my weightlifting, my storage.
And then just adjacent to that, when you get down the stairs, if you were to take a left instead of a right,
I have a finished room with my pool table, couch, my TV.
Nice little setup in there when I have company over.
And I open that door to look, thinking like, I hope the carpet's not wet.
And there is water pouring from the light fixtures.
Just from just coming down.
And I'm like, oh, oh, no.
Turn around, run into my unfinished area, turn the water off
immediately. And like, I, this could have been so much worse. I just happenstance. I happened to go
down there at like 2 PM today. And so I go turn it off, uh, go grab towels, start throwing it down
immediately after like two towels are down in the finished area. I'm like, this is an amount of
water that even like professionals are probably not going to be able to get up. It's,
it's sopping wet in my unfinished area.
There were areas I could splash,
like splash in the water.
It was so bad.
And so I call like five different plumbers.
Every single one of them says all of their emergency plummering,
emergency plumbers,
whatever they're all out.
Cause it's a cold snap here and everybody's pipes,
pipes are bursting.
I finally get through to someone.
They send their team over here and they figure out what it was.
It was some pipe near the back of my house.
They showed me a picture, totally just sheared in two,
just snapped and started dumping water.
Was it a hose bib?
Did it feed a hose bib?
I think it was.
I think it was something like that.
And either way, and i didn't understand
uh that because i was like huh that's a hose i don't think i've ever even used living in this
house and i've lived here for years like it's it it's an it's a hose output in an area of my house
where it's like why on earth would i use a hose here who the fuck needed a hose so i've just never
used that and they go down there immediately like know, after I've turned the water off and they're coming over there, they're poking around. I'm noticing I'm noticing all the dark areas appearing on my ceiling down there from all the water damage. It's like getting soft and some areas are like hanging. They start like just chopping out huge bits.
So then they came down. I've got two giant loud ass dehumidifiers running in my basement right now. They brought a truck and like sucked up as much water as they could.
Shittily, the guy was like, as he was about to take up the carpet, he was like, hey, do you know if you have a padding that's waterproof or it's just the regular kind. And I was like, oh, I actually ended up getting the waterproof kind because the guy at Home Depot said it was the same price. And so I just did that. And he was like,
ah, you don't ever get those in your basement because basically if you had the regular kind,
I could just put a fan in the corner and run it for like three or four days and it would all dry
out. But because you have this waterproof one, it means that we won't be able to drive through
the underside. So we can't just stick a fan under there this all needs to be torn out and redone and it's like it sounded like good news
for a second there i know and i was like i was like huh and it was the same price nope it was
it was exactly the opposite because and like as i said that i could see the guy's eyes being like oh
he thinks it's a good thing he thinks waterproof is a good thing in a flood. Nay, nay.
So now it's going to be like, I talked to my insurance.
Hopefully they'll cover all of it other than like a few grand.
But yeah, I'm going to have to get my whole ceilings have to be torn out in that room. I think most of a sidewall, about five feet of it, are going to get torn out.
So it'll be a nice little project.
You know, like maybe with the insurance money,
do you put it back exactly like it was?
Was it perfect?
I liked the way it was.
I did like the way it was.
So I'll try and put it back as much or as similar as I can.
Thank God, like from what I can tell, my sectional didn't get ruined.
My TV didn't get ruined.
Yeah, Woody, one change.
We're going with regular carpet padding this time around.
Yeah, we're going to go with regular carpet padding this time around yeah we're gonna go regular carpet padding and good hose or good pipes that's yes i want so i don't
know why hose bid pipes are copper at least all mine are and like you i've been through this a
bunch of times although i don't know i've never had a basement like it just leaks under the porch
or something and um um like wouldn't uh what is the other kind called kyle do you know
what the flexible flex tubing for piping is called i want to say more one really small but thin shit
yeah it's something sharp it's it's the stuff that like pops together yeah i might be thinking
of the name of the connectors or you know like whatever like whatever the, I don't like that shit.
Okay.
I don't know.
I was just thinking,
I don't trust it.
I hear you.
But for an exterior pipe,
something that feeds a hose bib and runs under your porch,
maybe it's the smart choice.
It can expand a touch.
Yeah.
It can handle frozen water.
I had that behind my washer and it was like,
fuck,
do I trust this with not flooding my home well like you know i might be
gone for 10 days like if there's 30 psi gushing behind this washing machine for fucking 10 days
i mean just burn the house at that point of course it won't burn because it's gonna be soggy
i've got the same like where you guys are at is it fucking freezing it's about well i'll tell you exactly what it is it's uh 30
oh nice not bad that sounds like right now instead of today's high right at this moment it's 30 so
i'm at 47 but today's high was 57 and sunny yeah i have no idea what happened today i know it was
rainy and shitty like when i went to sleep at 11 a.m. or something like that.
Yeah, this weather fucking sucks.
It was so funny. That Minnesotan thing confirmed again.
I was playing Zombies with Middy when this whole cold snap first started.
And, of course, I'm like,
God, it's so fucking cold.
It's like minus two here.
There's snow and it's awful.
And without fail, someone from Minnesota is like, oh, it's minus nine two here there's snow and it's awful and like without fail you know someone from
minnesota is like oh it's minus nine up here right now though yeah what'd you say we got twice as
much as it's like it's like talking to someone from la or new york you will know where they're
from immediately immediately oh this isn't like new york and it's like then go back you're annoying
and it's like complaining about traffic to somebody from one of those places it's like can you oh man over here in wisconsin the traffic
today was crazy there were two fire trucks in front of me can you believe it and he's like
yeah i can believe it um a skyscraper fell in the middle of the of the road in front of me today
actually uh i'm actually in traffic right now i shouldn't have made this comparison on 9-11
you're right your day's worse
i wonder if la traffic is that bad right like i mean there are stats to back that up you know i
need to see them i i'm open to the idea that i'm wrong but i have heard people say like oh yeah i
have to cross the golden gate Bridge. Five hours of traffic.
Well, that's just fuck you.
There's no way you're sitting on a bridge for five hours a day.
I jump after a while and start swimming.
Right.
And I get that L.A. traffic is bad, but every city has really bad traffic.
You know, if you go to Boston, the traffic can be pretty terrible.
New York is pretty terrible. And then smaller cities like raleigh's not terrible i imagine traffic ratings a few years
ago because in my head i was like god these people always complain about traffic but i've been to new
york i've been to la atlanta seems worse to me and i looked it up and atlanta was like third or
fourth uh-huh it was like it was either third or fourth. It was like, it was either third or fourth,
something like that.
Cause Atlanta is a little bit like LA,
not it.
So far as like the composition,
you have a very small,
like downtown,
downtown area with like the skyscrapers and shit.
Like,
like Buckhead or whatever.
And,
and then you just have suburbs that go forever farther
than the eye can see you know like like 30 miles of suburbs in every fucking direction
yeah so atlanta um i've heard that described as a city planning problem like i guess or maybe it's
just a locality preference but most people seem to want to work in atlanta and live in springfield a
simpsons reference right so what what it is land is very tall and then super wide yeah and it makes
for traffic yeah very few people actually live in the city it's very expensive um but but then like
it just doesn't seem like what people who have the money to do so even want to do.
You really want to live in the suburbs.
The suburbs are so nice.
In the north, it's places like Alpharetta and Sandy Springs.
Go south, east, or north, and it's really nice.
You go west, and it's – well we you can imagine what west that's how the
democrats won oh that's that the west atlanta is how the democrats won um so west atlanta is the
shitty part yeah lots of hippies there that's what it is it's the hippies over in west atlanta
you know tagging tagging bus benches and uh and that's and that sort of thing. Those hippies.
Those damn hippies.
There's a lot of hippies.
It's almost like you're outnumbered by hippies all the time.
Yeah.
Just a lot of hippies.
And you're like, where did they all come from?
And you're like, oh yeah, that's where they came from.
Oh, I remember. We had that thing shit that's it's our okay well
you know shoot yourself in the foot with hippies this is this is what you get can we change the
line all right so i got a new show it's called the stand and if you like stephen king shit
man it's so good okay so this thing is made by CBS
which is why I had been ignoring
it for over a year
whenever I see that something's been made by
CBS rather than
like an HBO or
Netflix or even
Stars you know like a cable channel
yeah I'm like alright
even A&E right
that made Breaking Bad i'm like okay they
got language at least they'll have like right up to the cusp of fuck you know that that'll do and
the violence will be off the charts like you'll see throat slit and brains blown out all that
shit i i could that's a i can deal with that but i thought like oh this thing's made by cbs
like how are you gonna to do it? Yeah,
it's gonna be Barney.
So I start watching it.
Um,
cause I,
I have CBS all access.
Um,
that's where you're watching it.
I was going to ask that.
Uh,
yeah,
I think it is.
Cause I get it for free.
And,
um,
it is an R rated movie.
There is like rape.
There are titties.
There's murder.
They're, they're saying cock and pussy and fuck and cunt. And it is very violent and very harsh. It reminds me a little bit of The
Walking Dead. So the premise, in case you've never read the book, I read a little bit of the book in
prison and then I got released. So that's what I was reading when I got released, if I remember
correctly. Basically, kind of like what we got going on right now, there's an airborne virus that kills like 99.9% of the people who get it within days.
Like you get it and maybe you're dead in five days tops.
And so everybody fucking dies.
And all of our characters are, of course, the.01%. They're the ones who are immune. And so now they're living in this post-apocalyptic world. And they all they realize they're having the exact same dream they're dreaming about two people they're dreaming about whoopi goldberg and alexander
scarsberg whoopi girl goldberg plays mother abigail and she's like the good guy and she's
been she's like one of god's prophets oh alexander scars guard i was like there's a guy named there's
whoopi goldberg and alexander scarsberg is scars guard the sexy guy from buffy
he uh no not from buffy from uh true blood yeah yeah and uh so alexander scars guard is satan
and whoopi goldberg is a prophet of god and so their dreams represent that because alex alexander
scars guard is like come to me. You can have everything.
Oh, you're blind in one eye?
I can fix that.
That's no problem.
I snap my fingers and you can see.
I snap my fingers.
Like there was a guy who was deaf who had also just deaf and mute,
and he had just lost an eye.
Oh, come on.
And he's in this dream state. And the guy's like, I've already given you the ability to speak.
You can speak here.
And you can hear.
And the guy's like, I can.
Wow.
And I can give your eye back.
And he's like, what's wrong with my eye?
He's like, you'll see when you wake up.
And he wakes up and the eye's gone.
Jeez.
But he chooses.
He's like, no.
No.
I don't want any part of you because the end it's like
all you gotta do is worship
the ground I walk on
and you see like the evil
exactly like a regular
ground except I think
the biggest difference between God and Satan is like
just that one side's gonna win
so you wanna win
right it's just that one side is
apparently the winner according to him even even the mythology of all that like the satan characters
like when god's brought up is like i will win you'll see you'll see and it's like no you're
not gonna win maybe god will promise me eyes why do we believe god why do we believe that god's
gonna win and not satan because it seems like like Satan fucks him up all the time.
Like,
and so you would,
you would trust.
He only had one fight.
Yeah.
And Satan lost cataclysmically.
He got,
he got thrown out of heaven and a third of the angels got thrown out with
him.
Think about that though.
It was,
it was,
it was a two V one and it was close.
Yeah,
that's true. You know, one V one God and it's a, it's a two V one and it was close. Yeah, that's true.
You know,
one V one God and it's a,
it's a,
that's a good game.
It was,
it was Gabriel and Michael and all the other archangels versus Lucifer.
General come within 10.
That's exactly what it is.
This is,
this is,
I mean,
if you think about it,
he just needs a little help and maybe we can make a comeback next time, and we could be living up there.
Who would you even go to for help, though?
Because, like, who's more powerful than Satan?
God.
Like, Satan can't conscript anybody that's his level or higher to help.
Yeah, of course.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Because, like, he's the peak.
Yeah.
I mean, Satan was kind of like the main angel.
He was God's favorite.
In any case, we're not going to get into...
We're already talking about one made-up thing.
Let's not go to another made-up thing.
That's where I was headed, exactly.
I think Thanos might help.
Galacticus, whatever his name is.
Galactus, thank you.
Galactus, the world eater.
Shit.
The Joker might help.
I don't know.
Perhaps. Perhaps. Just throw The Joker might help. I don't know. Perhaps.
Perhaps.
Just throw the Joker in the mix.
As long as it's not the Jared Leto one.
I wasn't a huge fan of that.
All right.
So show's really fucking good.
So you've got – so Whoopi Goldberg is – these people realize we're having the same fucking dreams, people.
Like you dreamed about Mother Abigail too?
She's like, yeah, the old black lady.
She told me to come to Boulder, Colorado and meet her.
And so all the good people go to Mother Abigail in Boulder, Colorado.
And they've got a little community there.
And all the evil people go to Las Vegas.
And they're hanging out with Alexander Skarsberg or whatever.
And he's got...
That is so hand-handed.
Well, you gotta...
I do like Vegas.
At first, I was like, man, they just
copied...
It was like, they just copied
Fallout New Vegas.
But then I realized, oh, this shit was
written in the 80s or something like that.
New Vegas copied
The Stand. that's what
happened here because they call it new vegas and it's just fucking and gladiatorial arenas
and just everyone is like wearing lingerie and like lots of gay sex and straight sex and titties
everywhere and there are slaves and crucifixions at a cbs show yeah yeah and uh okay i didn't either i i got the
titties for the first time last night on like episode four or five i was like oh shit because
there's just a guy like banging a girl from behind and she in one of those clear glass elevators and
this is like titties bouncing against the glass when you see him it's no joke yeah yeah there's
lots of titties yeah there's lots of titties after that in that so far one i don't know i don't know i'm i'm like six episodes deep in episode one and i've seen
and they're like 50 yeah there's only nine episodes it's one season okay close to this
oh wait shit it's from 2020 i think i'm wrong i think i'm thinking of an older show i'm sorry i
said anything yeah i think they're gonna do another season it's just like or this one might even be in progress in any case um yeah lots of titties um lots of super adult
language um and it's really good so far uh there's a lot of like really interesting characters it
seems like every time they're gonna have like a guest star it's like oh shit that's greg kinnear
like greg kinnear is just suddenly in the show and a main character in episode five it's like wow i
can't believe that they waited five episodes to like be like oh yeah and greg kinnear's on the
show it's like holy shit that's one of my favorite actors he's great uh there's lots of really good
actors there's this one guy who's like a fucking jeffrey domer like creepy as fuck dude who like he's like in his mirror
learning to look like a human like he's got a picture of he's got that picture of tom cruise
going hey like like pointing and like doing that smile and he'll like mimic it to try to like learn
to be a friendly human he's like and then you see him later on whenever he interacts with
he was like and people like it right because it's like oh yeah friendly guy he's doing okay hey man
hey how's it going he's got the tom cruise down pat yeah and meanwhile he's just like
he's like he's very jeffrey dahmer ish he's like obsessed with this one girl he's he's just a
murderous coward he was always super creepy.
Everyone kind of gets like a flashback,
but it's not like walking dead where they spend an entire fucking episode
giving you a flashback for every character.
So they can get 30,
they'll give you 30 episodes a season,
but it's like 20 of them were flashbacks for our 20 main characters.
They each got a flashback to the real world.
Each character will get like a 15 minute flashback tops and you'll,
you'll know where they came from,
what they're about,
why they're in the situation they're in.
Like,
like one guy was in prison.
All right,
we can find out why this guy was in prison in 10 minutes.
We're going to show that whole story right now.
And then like with our Jeffrey Dahmer character,
it's like,
all right,
let's show just how creepy this motherfucker has always been you know lots of uh context clues
being dropped he's getting beaten up and you're like you're thinking like oh he's getting bullied
and it's like no those are neighborhood kids who caught him like peeping on a girl through a hole
in a gate and they're like isn't this the kid that wrote that fucking school shooter manifesto
and he's like it was a work of fiction
and they're like why did they suspend you for it and they just kick his ass and it was so realistic
yeah it was because of your names and he's just got like the worst life ever so like when the
apocalypse happens he's loving it because he hated his family when they all die he's happy he doesn't
care he's not fazed't care he's not phased
he's he's loving the new world because the girl he's obsessed with also survives and he gets to
be like the hero you know he was like hey hey he's like in the mirror practicing what to say
to her he's like he's like becky he's like combing his hair back becky it's just the two of us left
alive it's got to be fate you know he's like no not not that not that it's got to two of us left alive. It's gotta be fate. You know,
he's like,
no,
not that,
not that.
It's gotta be like this.
I'm shocked at your ability.
You can say,
I can rape you.
I bet 1%.
I bet less than 1% of America knows who Greg Kinnear is.
Oh,
well,
they'd recognize his face though.
Yeah.
I really like,
I looked him up.
I knew his face.
Yeah.
He's so good.
And as good as it gets, which is one of my favorite all time movies with Jack Nicholson, Cuba Gooding jr. I looked him up. I knew his face. Yeah, he's so good in As Good As It Gets,
which is one of my favorite all-time movies
with Jack Nicholson, Cuba Gooding Jr.,
Helen Hunt, and Harold Ramis in one of his final roles.
Really good movie.
I don't remember who played the little kid.
I'll give the stand a go.
I want to get through The Expanse first.
So The Expanse, i'm liking it uh the
characters i like i like amos a lot uh he keeps killing people and is he the strong guy yeah yeah
the guy that like very very quickly tends towards violence and i'm saying maybe 15 of the time it's
the wrong move most of the time it's like oh he beat the shit
out of that guy without direct orders from cap and then that's exactly what was needed at the
time oh you got the answer and now that gave you just enough time to to take that answer and go
parlay it into something cap got to feel self-righteous by minimally pleading no and amos
got to have fun beating someone up that works works out. So I like Amos.
The pilot of it, the pilot of the actual craft,
I started off liking him because he was likable in the beginning.
Now, the more I watch it, this guy should be.
Yeah, the curly-haired guy, the Indian guy. And he keeps getting weirder and weirder,
and he's having dumb conversations.
When he basically-
The brown guy with the southern accent from Mars. Yeah, yeah, just bizarre yeah the the martian guy and he's like the the
conversation where he sends a message to like his family being like i don't even want you
and i'm having fun doing this and i was like dude fuck this guy fuck this guy this guy's a piece of
shit so he lost me with that i don't like him anymore um that's good whatever the name of um what's the girl's name that the captain's in love with
i always want to say and starts with an n and because they owe me previous to this the biggest
female character was named navia i keep wanting to say navia like in spartacus but it's naomi
because they're both ending so naomi uh you know who i really like i don't it's um it's she looks kind of asian she's got lots of
black eyeliner and uh she's one of the belters who's like the second in command to um the the
black guy who's got like the big space station she's asian she looks kind of asian she's like
she looks like she's like half asian or something she's got like i don't know the cheekbones and
the shape of her face she hasn't done enough yet for me to like oh she's great opinion but she's fine so far she's
great i think she's really hot in command too i do like him a lot i think frank johnson or
something is his name yeah frank he gets recast because right now he's being played by that guy
who was in the wire he was in a couple episodes of it's always sunny i'm gonna recast him well
then i'm gonna start hating the character i hate when they recast yeah they recast him taylor give me your thoughts on
this take amos was he not well cast i feel like he is supposed to be this guy who can beat up 98
of the population he tends towards violence people just look at him and say whoa i don't
want to mess with that guy he looks like a tough hombre but when i look at him and say, whoa, I don't want to mess with that guy. He looks like a tough hombre.
But when I look at him, I see him as, you know, 60th percentile.
Like, dude is an average.
Oh, no.
I saw, like, there was a scene with him with his shirt off.
That dude is shredded.
He's big.
Very low body fat percentage.
Huge arm, big chest, big shoulders, traps.
Like, that guy's in tremendous shape.
Wes Chatham.
It was probably in season two that I saw him.
So maybe if you look up, like, season two, him without a shirt on.
Like, he's got the Adonis lines, like, very strong ab definition.
Like, he's fucking ripped.
Maybe, yeah.
All right, I'm looking at a picture here
he was like in the med
bay or something
yeah dude's jacked
I
sure he's jacked
arms behind his body that's the least flattering
position to take
in an angled back arms behind you
and even then you can see dealt definition
like he's
fucking jacked he's in great shape oh he's also a martial artist hang on hang on let me find uh
okay yeah i don't know even better example to me like look he's jacked he's well built etc like
like i'm not acting like i'm like i have a better body like Don't get it twisted. I'm just saying that in the realm of
people just look at him and cower,
he's no Batista
or anything. Look at this one
Kyle just linked. He looks
huge.
His arms are fucking
huge. And anybody
who wears those pants will kick your ass.
No pussies on that own those pants
and behind him he's it's the toronto bjj martial arts academy
i wonder if he's a black belt like are we supposed to infer anything by that
little string belt he's wearing or no um let me find out pants up
because that yeah that's not even about that's just a string
but that is weird that the belt loops on those pajama pants are like black and stand out
right yeah i i have those pants and it has a little white belt
huh he's wearing a blue belt in the picture i just found him in okay but i would imagine that like
it's a very legit blue belt you know what i mean sure yeah if he's in this academy uh here well
here he is in a now now he has his purple here he is with his blue on his shoulders and he's
wearing the purple okay here he is in an mma like boxing. This guy's probably pretty fucking
badass.
Yeah, he looks good. Dude literally
looks like an MMA fighter. He has an
MMA fighter physique.
Yeah, he looks great. He does.
If you just put him on stage
across from like, I don't know,
he'd probably fight
170. You know what it is?
He has a real fighter's physique,
and I'm looking for a make-believe fighter's physique.
I'm looking for John Cena.
I'm looking.
The toughest guys in the world look like John Jones and Israel Adesanya.
That's what the toughest guys in the world look like.
This guy is closer to that.
You want Hulk Hogan.
Yeah, Hulk Hogan.
Give me a little ultimate warrior.
The Rock.
The Rock. Yeah. The Rock loses in a fight to steep a 10 times out of 10 but he wins in front of the camera and yeah i guess that's
where my head is and i know it's like this is just me like trying to get my round peg in a square
hole but it's like in this future world where everybody lives in space this guy
isn't just jacked he's mega jacked because everybody's living in zero gravity like to be
this jacked in like a space tv show is like triply you know impressive of course it's not like they
were like all right everybody everybody leaned down because you live in space now because even
the captain of the ship i saw him shirtless in the most recent season and he's like a nine out of ten physique wise like like he's super low
body hair guy like the main guy like like the captain of the of the martian ship like our main
character like he's jack too like he's super low but like full six-pack like defined everywhere
big arms he just doesn't veins compared to just doesn't look good compared to Amos.
No.
Amos would be my number one favorite character.
That botanist Chinese guy, he annoyed me at first.
I like him a lot more now.
The more he's been on screen, the more I like him.
Yeah.
Captain, I've kind of just been middling about him. of his like moralistic things that totally fuck over the
he's a Mormon right?
no he's not a Mormon
but he's from that polygamous society
I don't mind his moral society
so basically what it is
is that because I guess the overpopulation problem is so bad
that groups of people will come together
and splice their DNA to have individual kids
and so it's like oh you had four moms
and three dads?
Not necessarily a polygamist,
just like they all wanted to band together.
They had to pay a fee for.
Because that's how his family happened.
Sounds well-adjusted.
And then the Indian lady with the throat problems.
The president, yeah.
She's not the president.
She's the under or she's the
undersecretary of what of but of earth but that's like that means president that means emperor
whatever you want to call it she is the elected leader of a planet because aaron wright was the
number one guy right or no aaron wright was like higher than her and then the main guy was above
them and so she was like two layers down she still still is. The thing is, I've seen the whole show.
So like,
yeah,
she becomes the president or whatever,
or she becomes the,
she becomes the UN ambassador with their annoying ass voice.
It's just like,
it's very rough.
It's very rough,
but it's like,
you can tell something went bad with her throat at some point.
Cause like you would never close your eyes and be like,
that's a,
that's a man's voice.
That's a deep man's voice.
Cause you can still hear the original woman's voice there.
And just all the fucked up throat stuff on top of it.
I like it.
She irritated me.
Or not irritated.
I thought she was going to be bad in the beginning.
Because of the whole, like, you'll do anything to win.
And that other Indian guy, Babu from Seinfeld, was very like, you're a very bad man.
Very bad man.
But now she seems to be cool. Seinfeld was very like, you're very bad, man, very bad, man. And, uh,
but now she seems to be cool.
I like,
uh,
Asher,
the gladiator character from Spartacus,
who is her like right hand man.
Now,
like the guy who floats between,
you know,
legality and illegality and does what he has to do.
I like him a lot.
Uh,
he's probably going to die soon.
I would wager.
Cause he already got shot.
Um, but I'll probably get shot again. Quite a few of these characters you've mentioned are dead yeah well
i'm sure some of them are dead you mentioned that one of them gets booted off like off screen for uh
like a cat or because they were fucking with you know stagehands or something i don't i don't know
there was some sexual harassment by one of the characters that you've mentioned um don't tell
me who i don't want to know who gets it.
Of course I won't.
Of course I won't.
But he was killed in a very ham-handed way.
Do they at least make it – do they kind of make it fit or no?
I'll tell you because there's no way this can spoil it because it is so sudden.
It's not like there's no buildup.
It's like they're doing some shit and they're communicating via radio. They've got
these helmet radios and they're like, all right, Pete, we're going to do the thing now. Pete,
Pete. And they go look at Pete and he's dead. He had a brain aneurysm. He had a stroke. He had a
stroke because they're always pulling so many Gs. You know, they're like that when they like hit the boosters, they inject their bodies with like this, like whatever intravenous.
Well, the only person who has meaningful time spent having important conversations on the headset or with that shit plugged up to him is the pilot.
So it's got to be the pilot.
It might be.
But this this this guy like he's just well they all they're all always
doing the boosty shit and it's a i love it they're like all right we're about to do a big burn
everybody buckle in and it's like the seats like rotate back so that your face perfectly facing the
way you're going and and and you see like a machine inject them with like the goo so that they can
take the g's and then they pull
like 50 fucking g's and like blood's coming out of their nose and they're just like like and they're
like they're like we gotta hold it longer than they can they're like because they're being chased
by somebody and the people in the other ship are just like it's great i don't know. I'm liking all of it so far. The arrows thing was a cool little plot mechanic.
I like most of the characters.
I would say who do I with the proto molecule left the MacGuffin for the,
for the whole show.
Yeah.
Yeah.
The proto molecule that's been going for a bit.
So they're,
they're pretty much,
they're still trying to stop it,
but it's at a point now where it's like, okay,
well, clearly they can't stop it or this series will be over.
It's going to evolve out of their control and something else will have to happen.
Yeah, the protomolecule is the MacGuffin for the whole show.
We're always after it.
We're always trying to stop it.
And whenever it does its thing, you're like, holy shit,
I thought this was just some like
toxic goo this does all sorts of things uh it's it's it's pretty neat that's what i would like
navia or whatever the fuck her name is naomi naomi when when she admitted like the whole
oh i i sent the sample to frank johnson i was like, first of all, good move.
Second of all,
you should have been honest about it.
I dislike you for the dishonesty.
Everybody on this,
this,
you know,
the ship's been doing their best.
You should have been honest.
And like,
but the fact that she still hasn't admitted to being,
what is it?
OBC,
OBA,
OB.
Yeah.
She used to be part of the terrorist.
So yeah,
exactly.
Like she still hasn't come out and admitted that.
And if there is a point at point in the future where she says, I was a member of the OBA or OCA or whatever, and the captain is like, what?
That's going to be so fucking stupid.
If it took many episodes in between saying, I secretly sent it to the OBA and then going, I used to work for the OBA.
And he goes, oh, what?
You mean when I first met you
and that was information given to me
by people I had no reason to distrust
and then you fortified it by doing this?
And now I'm surprised to get,
like, that's what I predict coming.
So the captain,
he seems to fall ass backward into success.
He's a terrible captain.
He makes decisions that are objectively wrong.
A lot of the time, the only
reason they survive is because Amos
against orders kills someone or people.
Yeah.
If Amos didn't take it into his hands...
I just imagine they're in a meeting and the captain's like,
I just don't know how we're
going to deal with this bad guy. He's just a real problem.
He's like, oh, I choked him out this morning.
He's dead.
Oh, I like this one scene where...
What? Yeah, it's henchmen too. I got them all. me he was like oh i choked him out this morning he's dead oh i like this one scene where uh what
yeah it's henchmen too i got them all some some martians that they kept hostage were like we're
gonna take back this martian vessel and they like start trying to revolt and you know take it back
from captain and the the pilot and uh the rest and you know they all come in there and the captain
like they kind of are trying to de-escalate and the woman still has what's his name you know they all come in there and the captain like they kind of are trying to de-escalate and
the woman still has what's his name you know gun to his head yeah we're gonna fucking kill him
and unless you put in the coordinates to take us to whatever and then like thankfully that
martian marine who i like her more and more i like her as a character a lot now uh she was a
little irritating in the beginning i like it a lot yeah Yeah. She's thick with five C's. She's thick with five C's.
And four is too many.
No.
She's a real Gina Carano in the making.
The captain hit his little dial button.
He's like, we've got enough time to solve this before my hitter comes up and fucks you up.
The second he gets that notification this
is over and discussions will be done and then like it shows amos down there like doing sing-alongs
like repairing something it all gets solved up there you know by them and then like he comes up
and amos is like oh did i did i miss it did i miss it everybody as much as he goes into that airlock like i i liked his relationship with
the the botanist like those two that's a good duo i like that i agree the botanist goes in there and
is talking to that evil doctor who's doing things to his daughter and a bunch of other children
and he's like holding the gun shaky like and amos is like you're not that guy get out of here and then just closes it and he's like but
i am that guy he leaves with like he's got a very interesting juxtaposition of incredibly physique
incredible physique muscular built but also very big doe eyes and And so he'll come out with these big doe eyes
and be like, I took care of it.
And it's like...
Yeah, he really downplays the violence.
He compliments the violence with this genuine calm.
He's never out of control.
There's a lot of control behind the
violence oh no there's a couple times he loses control that he when when they were trying to
get footage from that guy at series or whatever it was maybe it wasn't serious maybe it was
something else but they go into this like uh i guess the where all the security cameras are
hooked up and that one guy's like you give me chicken i give you information or like whatever
the fuck see it see it they freaking yeah you bring chicken he i'll give you it it's like, you give me chicken, I give you information. Or like, whatever the fuck. See it, see it, they freaking, yeah, you bring chicken here, I'll give you it.
It's like, you're going to search for it?
You guarantee you'll find me?
He's like, no, no guarantees.
Can't fucking guarantee.
Bring chicken.
Not enough chicken.
And then Amos grabs a can of chicken and almost beats him to death with the chicken can.
And then they have to be like, no, he can't search the machines if he's dead.
Yeah, there's an episode later on.
He goes back to Earth and he's in
Baltimore, which is still a hellhole.
It hasn't gotten any better.
Yeah, think The Wire, but with
space skyscrapers
and hovercrafts overhead.
400 years more crime.
And Amos needs to talk to the local
head gangster, the guy
who's running the whole show.
He needs to find the main guy.
And he starts with some street-level punk,
and he's like, I need to talk to Big Joe or whatever.
And the guy pulls a gun on Amos.
He's like, nobody talks to Big Joe.
What the fuck are you doing around here?
And he takes the gun away from him
and just beats the dog shit out of him.
And then after he's done, he picks him up. He pulls the
cloth. He's like, here, this is for the bleeding.
Yeah, right there.
You got it. All right. Now go
find Big Joe.
Don't be scared. Don't be scared. We're okay
now. We're okay now. Go find Big Joe.
Tell him Amos is here.
He's like, I'm going to tell him what you
did to me. That's what I want you to do.
Go tell him that I beat the me that's what i want you to do go tell him that
i beat the shit out of you and that i want to talk to him and here here's your gun back here
you can have yeah you can have it yeah take it yeah there you go there you go now run along
the guy's just like the fuck are you man it's like runs off it's great i'm glad i'm watching
the show it's good it's a good show um i'm really digging the
stand and uh snowpiercer is still fucking good a new episode of that came out uh yesterday the
day before something like that i don't know i don't really now i got a big list of stuff to
watch and it's hockey season i'm just flush with content avalanche not doing so well i look really
like 12 and 7 or something like that. 12-7? That's a
third.
It's like third or maybe even fourth
in the conference, though. Are they on a
bad stretch? The Blues aren't a great one either.
The Abs. Blues are like
first or second, though. Blues are second,
yeah.
Vegas first, then Blues, then
Coyotes, then Colorado.
Colorado beat out Arizona.
And I wanted to do basketball talk for Woody.
I was like, I'll get into basketball.
Me and Woody can have a thing.
I was like, I bet the Hawks are good.
Like, oh my God.
No.
Not only are the Hawks horrific, but they are embarrassing at times.
Like, they had a Karen incident the other day when they played the Lakers where some like where where some rich chick on the you know that has those like on the court seats
was like accosting LeBron James and created a whole scene and they're calling her the Atlanta
Karen like on the internet it's like god damn it and then I look and the Hawks are like break you
know how Tom they were like oh and Tom Brady breaks another record nine completions in a row
the Hawks are breaking records like that this year, but in the opposite direction.
It's like, and the Hawks have lost 10 straight games where they were down by 20 or more going into the fourth quarter or something like that.
They've lost seven out of their last eight.
They're really bad.
Hey, you're better than me.
It's like a down stretch.
They were doing okay.
Maybe they were playing 500, 600 ball up until eight, nine games ago.
And then there was just this slide where they've been defeated by 25 or more in all those eight games.
I was just watching the highlights on ESPN.
I was somewhere last night, and it was on silently.
And I was looking looking and it was like
I don't remember who we were losing to. Maybe the
Nets, but it was like
94 to 125
with like six minutes to go.
It's like, fuck!
Fuck, are they going to score 150?
In their last 10,
they're 2-8, so very bad.
Yeah, so I
don't know. I would like to pick an atlanta team
as my teams you know like the colorado avalanche thing is because i does colorado colorado doesn't
have a basketball team do they no yeah see so like and i'm not gonna just pick a good team like
like no wait what am i saying the denver nuggets ah of course yeah of course what an awful name for a team i'll tell
you what else i hate avalanche are gonna be i didn't even notice that they want to play philadelphia
because of covid restrictions they're gonna be fine so the sixers jerseys say phila on them do
they f-i-l-a f-p-h you know you're you're from there i am college there yeah phil bale for you why does it matter where
he's from he's trying to spell philadelphia with an f taylor i know it's just anyway
that just didn't happen yeah thanks let's all know the cities we're from let's see they say p-h-i-l-a l-a philly and i'm like why the fuck don't they
say philly yeah why the fuck don't they say philly they could say ever said oh yeah i'm heading down
to philly for the week no i'm going to philly every time i see it i'm like are they wearing
bootleg jerseys is this like were these made like mad like like like
like are these are are these like bootleg jerseys like like that somebody like made like oh yeah
we can sell 76ers jerseys as long as we fucking make it phila instead of philly you know like
year by year they're gonna drop another letter it's like somebody explained the 76ers to an Indonesian sweatshop.
And that's what they came up with.
Oh, but of course it's called Fira.
You know, Fira.
You know how it goes.
I have no idea why they do
that. How they missed that opportunity
to just be Philly. Like Philly would look
so cool on a jersey. It's Phila.
And every time I see it, I'm just like, this makes no
fucking sense. It looks incomplete. Like, it looks like a manufacturing i i might be alone in this i
really like their name like so many teams grab a name that's like i don't know some sort of tough
guy named the bobcats or something the 76ers like like this it's a historical town. It's where the Liberty Bell is.
It's the 76ers.
It doesn't try to be something it's not.
I just like it.
I think it's one of the better names in sports to me.
That's so funny.
This whole time I was like, they named themselves the 76ers because they were made in 76.
And look at how well that pairs up with the history of the town.
What a coincidence.
No, I guess they were probably not made in the same way.
That's like a soprano.
You ever think about that coincidence?
You know, you got the hunchback of Notre Dame
and you got the quarterback and the halfback of Notre Dame.
You ever think about that?
And Tony's like, the fuck are you talking about?
No, I never thought about that.
Oh, I never thought about that, Pauly.
Fucking, it was Bobby.
It was Bobby Baclieri.
I literally, just in case I was an idiot,
they're from 1946.
So,
older than 1976.
Yeah, I didn't assume.
I assumed that it was about, you know,
the formation of the country,
not the formation of the country, but not
the formation of the team. I thought it was
happenstance.
They were a team 30 years longer than I thought.
I do like your history more.
Yeah, see, mine's funner.
It is pretty good.
You are going to be fine with the Colorado
Avalanche. They're 7-4-1.
They've only played 12 games.
They're like four games back from a lot of people. Colorado's fucking good,che they're seven four and one they've only played 12 games they're like four games back from
a lot of people they're colorado's fucking good and they're gonna be good for many years and when
you live in colorado you're gonna be able to watch the prime i'm gonna go to so many games
like like i was uh i was continuing my i've been looking at real estate and apartments and uh and
monthly airbnbs and i found this one uh monthly
airbnb that is right there by the stadium nice and it's and it's like 1800 a month for like a
really nice place it's not bad at all and it's right there by the stadium like like i mean like
go downstairs and you could throw a rock and hit the fucking stadium it's like that'd be sick
that'd be sick to just like like just get high as fuck
walk into the game walk right out of the game and i'm home yeah and if you want to get into
the denver nuggets too they play the same place same with the baseball stadium like like there's
a lot of i've been there a lot like like one of the dispensaries i used uh in colorado last time
i was there was right there next to the baseball stadium. It's like stadiums like here, and you drive straight away from it
and make a left, and dispensaries here.
Like a block.
It's a block away.
Well, if you want to drink there, according to my cousin who lives there,
it is cheaper to get drunk at the Rockies game than at the bar
because they try and get people in the seats.
So they do like $1.50 beers.
Atlanta has the best concession stand policy in the world.
Yeah, they had a great success with that,
doing like the fair pricing and shit, right?
Yeah, yeah.
We've talked about this before,
but it's like hot dogs are $1.50 or something,
like Cokes are $2.
Yeah.
All right, I know we're a little bit over,
but yeah, have fun.
Go eat some dinner.
PKA.
PKN 339.
