PKM 462. How are you boys doing good? Been thinking a lot about demons and hellspawn in the world of Diablo.
Gool past few days. Gool Kyle and I have been have been jumping in with both feet into Diablo and it's a, I've never played a Diablo game before. And, uh, I made the mistake of watching like one video on YouTube of like someone who's
a huge Diablo head.
Who's like, has the same problems as the rest of Diablo.
We're at the end.
It's not even fun.
And I'm like, I will not allow this negativity into my brain.
And I turned it off.
I'm like, I'm having too much fun.
I'm not going to, I'm not going to, I don't want to notice things that frustrate me.
It's a blast.
There's me, Kyle, Scum.
We're running three of us.
Yeah, most of the time.
I'll tell you what I like the most.
What struck me.
We keep getting...
We have these waves where
we'll be just getting destroyed.
They're fucking us up.
And then we'll rank up like one or two levels or we'll just find a new sword.
And it's like,
Oh,
get out of my fucking way.
You bitches.
What are they?
Three of you now?
I'll just do it with one swipe then.
And then like two levels later,
it's like,
they won't get off me.
He's on my back,
Taylor.
And then three levels later,
it's the same thing again.
Now there's five of those little guys and we're just stomping them out and it keeps happening.
And right now we're in a position in the curve where we're just destroying everything.
Everything melts in front of me and it's really fun.
It's a big open world game with co-op and PVP and campaign.
It's like they took every game video game element and mixed it together in this one big world.
It's neat. I like it. And I like demons
and ghouls and goblins.
Yeah, very fantasy-minded.
It's got that same... There's like maggot people.
Yeah, there's the bug people,
the maggots that explode.
It's got that nice mix of
gross, kind of like Vermintide,
but also like Skyrim. There's an
enormous amount of upgrade potential and like vermentide but also like skyrim there's an enormous amount of upgrade
potential and like every weapon has like multiple specials that you have to be like oh well i like
this weapon's core stats but the special sucks i need to find something with that special so i can
break it down and put it on there but that's weapons can have like six different attributes
and you want this perfect mix but every piece of your armor is the same way so you want the perfect helmet the perfect
everything and that takes forever no no dying's not a big deal other than you kind of reset a
little bit and it's frustrating uh it's it's a lot of fun it's a lot of fun. It's a lot of clicking. It's a huge amount of clicking. There's like...
It seems as though
some of the stuff
in the game is so powerful
that it's not intended to be used
the way we're using it, but then
like you said, two levels
will go, and the approach that was
shredding stuff at level 52
isn't working at
54, and then somehow at at 56 you're back on top
and so like i like that about it there's skyrim i always use that as an example skyrim does not
have that once you get to a high enough level in skyrim you buttfuck everything there's nothing
that can stand up to you there could be 50 dramora lords at once. It doesn't matter. You freeze them all. In this, though, that constant climb and fall and up and down.
And, man, I thought I was grinding and I was killing it.
And now it's not working.
Then you go back, you respect your skill points, and then you go,
oh, my God, is this even the same dude?
He's killing it now.
There's so much customization, and none of it's permanent.
So you can always go back
and and make your character like right right now i'm doing a necromancer summoner and so his thing
is he's trying i'm trying to summon as many skeletons and and and golems and things to be
meat shields for me and fight on my behalf but if i want i can go you know what everyone online says
the summoner route is actually one of the weaker ways to play the character i should go the heavy aggro bone spear route and i can just delete all
those character specs and respec into that new type without having to go time for another necromancer
character like in fallout i don't even know if you can completely redo your specials like like
deep into the game i don't think you can like think you can. I can't think of any game
where you can be like an RPG
ass game like this that's so deep
and so much going on.
It's hundreds of hours of ranking up and you'd be like,
you know what?
I don't want to be
an axe wielding maniac anymore.
I want to be a magician version of this
character and you can just delete everything
and you've still got all the current.
You just put it back a different way.
And it plays completely different.
It's a neat game.
Necromancy.
A lot of replayability.
I feel like I don't really know what that word means.
I know necro has something to do with dead.
And I know what romance is.
So mancy would be a form of magic.
Well, you're adding ro on there.
Well, you know, I do me, you do you.
You do me.
In Latin, it matters though it's uh it's like the magic of the dead right it is but but in in games it's uh it's it's usually raising the dead and and controlling them so taylor is running around
with i don't know how many it is at this point. It's like eight or 12 skeleton men just in a horde around him all the time,
like bees swarming.
It's really funny.
It is.
And I like the summoner thing because I'm a good guy to have around.
I've got 12 meat shields hanging out.
You don't have to tell them what to do.
And so if me, Kyle, and Scum run into a big fight,
all 12 of my guys just pair off and start fighting.
And it's like, this is tremendous.
And it's like necromancy is like,
when an enemy of mine dies, they create a corpse.
And then I can use that corpse to either shoot tendrils out
and suck everybody in or blow the corpse up for free,
which seems like an enormous oversight in my character's abilities,
is just free, no cooldown, blowing blowing up corpses turning the whole map black is that annoying i'm sorry about that i stay
away from you um to avoid all that yes yeah um like my character is just a continuous thunderstorm
he just stands there and lightning and and tornadoes just go everywhere so i'm sure that's
not always that much fun either.
We were talking about this with like me, Kyle, and we were in there and I'm like,
dude, sometimes in a battle, I'll be like, man, this isn't going well.
Cause there'll be 15 guys around and there's lightning strikes and storms and all.
There's a black boiling earth. And I'm like,
they're all Kyle's storms and it's my boiling earth.
And they're my, we're storms and it's my boiling earth and they're my we're alone
in a room hitting air yeah we thought we were surrounded but it's just i've caused a hurricane
to happen and he's brought 15 of his best friends with him and they all look like monsters they
don't look like good guys they're skeletons with glowing eyes there's no way to perceive our troop
as good guys there's a the game mechanic where you earn ai to help you
is really i i played borderlands and um you could put a sentry gun down when you're a soldier
that sentry gun is automated and start shooting bad guys so anytime things get hot
step one put down the sentry gun which also puts up like a force field so now you've got something
to crouch behind and you know basically a head glitch and
it's just like this is a great mechanic right i'm everyone come behind my wall if this sentry is a
teammate practically and i could see why taylor likes it yeah i like that about borderlands you
would i remember you liking you turned me on to borderlands and uh it's it's a different style
of game obviously first person shooter kind of with borderlands and this is more like dungeon i don't even know how you would
describe it like click to like top down top down but it does that same thing that entices me with
borderlands where like you get to a point where and it does the thing where the number shows up
with damage and so like you know level 10 border're like, dude, I just did 980 damage.
And then you get to like level 52
and you're like, dude,
this machine gun's only putting out 2.2 million.
Poor bullet.
We're never going to win.
And it keeps amping the numbers up.
And I know it's like made like in a gambling way
to like keep me addicted,
but I'm like, oh, number go up.
Now I'm doing 50,000.
As you guys describe some of these mechanics,
I'm like, was this a game designer or an economist
just like doling out the dopamine?
It's real fun.
It is.
So his character has like dead things that work with him.
My character can have companions though.
So he's got like three wolves that'll follow him around,
but you can go full into that idea
and you can have crows above you and wolves behind you.
And like ghost men as well.
You can have like four different companions at once and spam them all.
There's four or five characters off the top of my head.
Yeah.
Warrior, Sorcerer, Druid, and Necromancer that I can think of.
But you can play each one of them in probably six different really neat ways. So yeah, real
fun game. I wish I'd gotten it as soon as it came
out. I haven't gotten into Six Days of
Fallujah yet, although I know a lot of people
are enjoying that. It's supposed
to be just like
Fallujah was, except without
no PTSD involved.
A guy I know was like, as soon as I got
in there, I got paired up with two guys
who were in Fallujah.
I guess anybody who fought in that
battle is probably into video games because
they can't walk anymore.
They're into the game.
I would imagine not wanting
to play that game if I was in Fallujah.
Did we?
We won Fallujah? Conqu won fallujah sorry conquer the city
raise the flag push the insurgents out huh so if i go there will i see her flag we didn't we didn't
time it was a strategic objective wars are tricky we we conquer capture the flag style i got it and
it's like we have it back it's
like nope i mean we're not hanging on the normandy beach anymore either you know what i mean like
like we got it and in a way we are we own france france are cocksuckers dude like are they still
hateable what are they i don't know much they've been helpful during this ukraine thing but man
the french are pieces of shit like i used to think as a kid that it was just media
and and people oh it's a funny joke the the cheese and their assholes right that's the stereotype
they're legitimately pricks they're just people yeah huh it's weird like french we have so many
like different people in our like hangout patreon like all of that stuff french is a rare one like
i can think of one french the irish
a french versus the irish we just yeah there's no leather there i'm glad their country is going
to be much more like morocco in like 15 years because those are good people to deal with
the moroccans yeah what are they good at i'm not familiar with them well they're short and brown
so the and they're hardy people and that's what all Frenchmen are going to look like soon.
They're going to be short brown people.
Short brown people.
I look forward to that.
Replacement theory.
They're going to be way, way taller than Frenchmen.
Am I making that up?
French aren't even the tallest.
Moroccans.
I don't know how tall French people are.
No, it's Norway, Finland, Sweden.
Those failures up there, I think, are the tall ones.
Yeah.
Didn't Americans used to be the tallest?
Did they just pass us in the last 20 years?
It's bullshit.
It's got to be neck and neck.
I doubt they're an inch taller.
They're probably like a quarter inch or something on average, right?
We need to do something to make Americans taller.
I don't know.
Maybe steroids in the meat.
Something.
I don't know what it takes. We're importing too many Spanish people and Mexican people, Woody.
The average is going down.
I want growth hormones in all my food.
How about, you know what?
I think that, Kyle, you're right.
It's because people are moving here who are shorter and they're moving at the average.
How about we don't, immigrants do not count towards the height average.
How about that?
I will allow that as long as we don't let them vote either
actually we'll have like a hedge in there like finnish immigrants they count like
ted cruz is like the more i let in the closer to average my my short ass gets but they're gonna
right out.
He's always caricatured as a little midget alongside
Marjorie Taylor Greene with her buck teeth and a gun
and Mitch McConnell's
I think he's actually
an actual elephant or something.
Something silly or big ears. Oh, the turtle.
That's right.
He's cartoonish looking.
That guy's...
He does vibe turtle
so much it must be the weak chin or something yeah it's everything he's got he's got the ball
the head the neck the chin he reminds me dana carvey um did this bit in one of his
master disguise yeah in master disguise he did a turtle man and that's what
fucking mitch mcconnell looks like i remember when i asked him
i remember my sentencing they were like you know mitch mcconnell's heavily invested in the cannabis
industry yes yes and they're just having this conversation like the prosecutor in my lawyer
and the judge and i would i just wish the building had came down on all of us right at that moment
like i was like come on god i'll go down too. Let's kill us all. None of these people deserve to be alive.
He's awful.
He's so turtle-like.
That's a good picture of Mitch McConnell as well.
That must be 10 years old.
So much of it is his lips.
You can see his lower teeth, but not his upper teeth.
And that is what it is.
We just cracked the case.
Dude, those lips are crazy.
I feel like Dana Carvey is just doing a Mitch McConnell impression at this point.
I like the upper lip rolled down.
I like the turtle shell that Dana Carvey is wearing.
Yeah, I doubt Master Disguise is as funny as I remember a couple moments ago.
These are old pictures of Mitch McConnell.
He's become more turtle-like as the years have gone.
He's taken a turn. He's just elderly turtle-like as the years have gone.
He's just elderly.
Without his teeth, he's not as much.
And from this angle, you can't see Mitch's armored
shell.
That's how they get him not to vote
is you flip him on his back.
And then you don't flip him back
over until after the vote has commenced.
True. And they usually
try to vote on cloudy days.
Cloudy days?
What is it about cloudy days
and turtles? He's a reptile, so he needs
to bask in the sun to get energized.
And so he can't make it up
the hill on a cloudy day.
That was a complicated
joke.
Some of us watched Animal Planet growing up.
I understood it. I knew what animal facts... I was picking up what you were laying down with the turtle facts and the sun thank you i told you last night taylor about the orca video i saw where
the little orca came to the boat like crying and led the people to its mother who was stuck in a
rope and they freed the mother and the and all of them start doing a dance around the boat
like a celebration, the orcas, and then
the mother that was tied up goes down
to the bottom, kills a manta
ray and brings it back and gifts
it to the rescuers. It was
ridiculous.
I was telling Taylor, I was like,
those things need rights.
Those things need some rights.
Not the manta rays.
Not full rights. we're not letting
them vote okay like but but you shouldn't be able to kill them on site i'm just throwing this out
there maybe if we included them in the average height of an american it would help our stats
that's what we are american and they don't they do not count towards the average weight
just a president who's just obsessed with census number
doesn't care about anything else he's like a gamer he wants our stats i remember y'all making fun of
me when i was talking about the naval use of dolphins war dolphins if you will and i've read
a whole article about how warfuses warffuses. Yes, that's true.
That's the Eastern Bloc countries.
They use Warfuses.
I was actually reading an article about that. That's what it was.
The Russians were upping their
dolphin presence at some of their naval bases
as a preemptive protective measure.
From zero to one.
I think they got
swarms of dolphins out there
doing jobs. Oh, no.
They're capable of sinking an inflatable boat.
First of all, a frogman?
Taking an enormous amount of time to get this pipeline fixed.
We're getting a lot of dead dolphins.
They send those frogmen, like Jesse Ventura.
He was a frogman, I believe.
They send them in.
I watched the podcast the other day
with a CIA guy, and he was talking about being in
Honduras and taking some Honduran rebels.
He's like, so what we did is
walked along the shore to about 1,000 yards away,
and then we swam up to the dock,
and we placed explosive charges here and there,
and we placed explosives under the water.
So when they go off, they use the water as a weapon
and destroy the whole dock,
and now they can't put their vessels there.
The dolphins would have destroyed him. If you send frogmen in there against against warpuses it's game over it's game
over i don't know if jesse ventura himself i don't know they would shoot the warpuses but but um
they would alert the others you know one warpus would run back and they would be delayed and for
all you know those warp fists are armed as well.
No, you couldn't arm them.
You could absolutely.
Yes, you could.
You could pin them.
You could pin them.
They would just be friendly fire.
What if you put a big, like,
rhinoceros sharp pokey thing on the end of its nose?
Eh, eh, eh.
I don't think you want to.
Some sort of explosive where if they ram it, it blows up.
That's the one.
That's a good idea. They actually the one. That's a good.
They actually do that.
Kamikaze dolphins.
They have those.
But in that case, let's pick a domer fish.
I don't know why we're using fish or mammals at all for this.
Hear me out.
Hear me out.
A mechanical dolphin called a torpedo.
Yes.
And imagine that it doesn't take any training. But there's countermeasures for torpedoes and imagine that it doesn't take any training but there's countermeasures for
torpedoes and a dolphin right there's no countermeasure that could take out a dolphin
they have to surface every like 30 feet to breathe
so i mean there's not soldiers out there waiting on warpuses to swim up.
It is easier to counter a warpus, I think,
than a torpedo.
Where's that special agent?
I don't know. Wait one minute until it comes
up and makes the loudest chittering noise
imaginable. I know for a fact
that we spend billions on defending
against torpedoes. What do you think the budget
on dolphin defense is?
It's an appropriate
one, I bet.
I bet a scant bit
of Googling will prove you to be...
I bet it would be staggering.
Like the amount of
money that just to look...
Oh, we probably spent a considerable amount of money on
warpuses because the United States
military, like me, know the value
of a warpus.
Not like you people i would i would start with terrestrial animals
oh that's you know what you mocked that strategy in avatar and now you're on board
yes well in this argument i like it
what did i say on pka i was like have a defense. I am sometimes hypocritical.
I forget what the topic was.
That's often my defense.
It's like, oh, well, that was four minutes ago, dude.
You can't hold me to that.
We can tech out bears, but we just amplify their natural stats.
Like, you wouldn't want to put a gun on a bear.
You'd want to give it even stronger claws, some sort of shell.
You want it still able to behave.
You're muted.
You want it to still be able to fight like a bear because that's its natural fight.
Why are you messing with bears?
My rhinoceros army is going to fuck you up.
That's true.
Rhinoceros are already losing the war against humans.
And there hasn't even...
Well, we haven't equipped them yet.
They're going to be like Ukrainian rhinoceroses, filled with Western tech.
And they're losing the war because right now they're in a war against humans.
They're not going to win. They would be joining the side of one human party.
We've already picked the animals that are good at this. It's birds and dogs.
It's true. Not dolphins.
Yes, dolphins. There's entire programs about this. We we have warfaces i'm not making it up so there's all sorts of stupid programs they used to do big ones
this isn't like some experimental thing at a college somewhere some liberal arts school
they're they're messing around lsd the united states navy has an army of dolphins i have you're
gonna make a bunch of ted kaczynski dolphins they're both paramotor instructors and they are currently training like dozens of army personnel
and my point behind this is the army will waste money on stupid shit
what are they training the men though how to fly a paramotor who better
i don't understand the question train them to Why do you think it's a waste of money?
Because paramotors are loud and slow and easy to spot.
It is target practice.
I think the ducks at the carnival are better offensive weapons than me and a paramotor.
Is it possible that the paramotors they're training on are just a way to learn on the stealth paramotors that our government has.
There's no stealth paramotors.
Think of it this way. The plane that you might initially learn to fly in
isn't a stealth fighter. You start on some little putt-putt
thing. Practice how you fly. I'm just saying, we've clearly got an army of
stealth men in the sky right now defeating the balloon Chinamen who are who are aloft um so you need these pair of men um are these stealth men
with us right now kyle they're above us in the skies and they're paramotors they're stealth
paramotors that'd be an embarrassing program to find out about it really would i i don't know why
why i don't know why anybody would want to
learn to fly a paramotor for like military militaristic purposes the military just invents
shit all the time to spend money on what was that like thing that came out like in afghanistan they
were like well we figured out that if we just leave 3 000 home v's running and turn them on
every day we burn through enough gas to like hit our budget so it doesn't get sliced down it's like i have a friend me his job was to um oh just sell the fuel for some reason
he had to shoot bullets if they didn't run through all this ammo then their budget would go down the
following year so they're just shooting bullets not aiming nothing like full auto boringly shooting bullets they do a little math and realize they can't
possibly fire all of these bullets so they go to the landscaping crew and get a skid steer and
bury the bullets and that is and then mission accomplished they got rid of all the bullets
they needed to get rid of terribly the budget didn't go down but as a guy who pays the budget didn't go down. But as a guy who pays the budget, it feels dirty and awful.
It is.
I'm okay with it.
The goal isn't to provide them the best stuff.
The goal is to line the pockets of the...
What are we going to do with all that ammo?
Just keep it and not buy it next year?
Ammo would be good next year.
It'd be good in a hundred years.
Here's what I like.
I like that our army always has way too much ammo
and if they need some in a pinch,
they can go dig it up over there.
They will never dig it up.
They'll go, hey, we need bullets,
and now the manufacturing of a surplus.
I assume ammo is ruined.
I'm with Taylor.
It's going to last a really long time.
But in the ground, it's going to make it go bad.
Yeah, in the ground, I don't know how long.
I've definitely found bullets in a field.
The primer is what's going to go bad.
Found bullets in the field that were rusty and looked like shit and shot them anyway.
I wouldn't recommend that.
Guns will do a lot of stuff and not blow up
until they don't.
Until they do.
Until they do, exactly.
Guns are unpredictable underwater.
I don't understand why sometimes you can shoot them underwater
and sometimes they daffy duck the
shotgun barrel. Shotgun barrels
are thin
metal that's not
so the reason you get so many shotguns made
in Turkey is because they're cheap to produce.
Rifle barrels are forged.
You know, big chum chum
chum machine. Shotgun barrels
are probably fucking extruded or
something like like it's very thin um and it it peels back because of the pressure you know you
got that air in there and then when you get to the water you can't compress the water and it
the pressure bends it backwards you can shoot other stuff underwater i've never shot anything
other than pistols underwater um specifically glocks underwater they work just
fine can you replace a shotgun barrel yeah yeah yeah you twist off the little end cap the fore
end comes off the whole barrel slides off new barrel goes on do the whole thing so if you ruin
it that way it's not that big a deal i guess well i mean don't stick your shotgun in the water for
any reason at all because it will
accomplish nothing at all ever. I have a marine
shotgun. I want to test out its rust proofing.
Yeah. You don't need
to fire it under the water. Just dip it and
pull it out. It's nickel plated. That thing won't rust.
So it's water resistant
not waterproof. I should be able
to hunt fish.
You can. I mean, if
you wanted to, the way to do it, do it i better be i wonder how far 22 goes
under the water if you're underwater like a little suppressed 22s going down there scuba style
shooting fish nine mil is often the penetration caliber yeah but but but that's when they shoot
above water into water i saw the myth okay that's something like that i don't know when
you're shooting them under the water i've never fucked around with it just i would freak people
out i i would just stick the gun in the water in a bucket or something and uh and just goof around
with them that way i don't know how far the bullets actually go though it is weird to see
like because i think all of us have watched those videos of people shooting underwater and how immediately
the bullet slows and how it's like oh i didn't predict eight feet like it like it could be a
lot less than that eight feet and the last three feet may have been really like not slow enough to
hurt you yeah the catch it but sometimes it's like two feet and it's lost all its energy.
Yeah.
Oh, we just lost you, your audio, Kyle.
He's not even muted.
It's a tech issue.
He's just ventriloquist training.
What he was going to say is that's perfect.
You guys both know so much more about guns than me.
I appreciate you stepping in.
I was going to make the same joke.
What he was going to say is I...
Step aside for Woody.
I allow him to
share his expertise. He's probably seen a YouTube
video about it.
I cannot hear you, Chan.
Talk a little longer. 5-4, 5-4, 5-4.
There he is.
There he is. I think it's the Russians
have this underwater weapon.
It looks like a nail gun because it is.
And the magazine
or clip or whatever it is
is sort of curved and it has
these long darts that it
fires. I say long, six or eight inch long
darts because those will penetrate in
water. And I think it's
fired with a blank cartridge
or a firearm cartridge.
But that would be...
I'm sure they've used it.
They probably killed some Navy frog man sometime somewhere.
All the Cold War was great.
Maybe just an actual frog.
I mean, they go right through a frog.
You ever been frog gigging, Taylor?
I've never hunted frogs, no.
Never gigged a frog, eh?
No.
I've eaten frogs, a lot of frogs. Is gigged a frog, eh? No. I've eaten frogs.
A lot of frogs.
Is gigging a frog when you give it a job?
No.
Yeah.
That's where you get three jobs to help the statistics.
Give it a job.
Frog gig is a long spear with three points with barbs on the end very much like a trident
except frog sized and use those to hunt frogs it's called you do it with a big elastic band
oh that's something i've never utilized and let go of it and it shoots it yeah i i know of things
like that but i i didn't know they used that for frogs i've only seen it on youtube of someone
doing that i always felt sorry for the frog so i never did it like you get like stabbing it he's
on the end of your spear and he's just like why like i don't know why just for your legs i guess
why do you go to mcdonald's i don't know dude frog legs taste great and they're and then they
make you feel more aggressive do they yeah they help you jump higher
i heard jordan eats a pound of frog legs before every game that's the secret that's how people
dunk is you eat if i were if i were an nba you would also make his fingers sticky yeah i would
start rumors like that i would have my own fucking kentucky fried frog leg like like chain i would
be saying it's it's how I get my great vertical leap
and everything. The whole time I'm doing drugs,
fucking steroids,
special training, whatever it takes to get that vertical
going, but I blame it on the...
You'd attribute it to the frog.
Yeah.
I mean, I...
You've never had frog legs?
No.
I've said some people, I think they taste good but like the way
that you like rip their little quad muscles out when you're eating them it's like they're so
defined because it's a frog and like once you've eaten the whole leg where you rip off like it's
it's the hamstring it's quad and it's like calf and everything it's like this it is grosser looking
than like a person's leg because you're like oh like i can see it's a calf and everything it's like this it is grosser looking than like a person's leg
because you're like oh like i can see it's a little look i just tore its acl like
hey you ain't never gonna hop again boy but they're great it's probably it's probably as
lean as rabbit meat i bet frog starvation would be a how do they get the legs so they grow the
legs back right right? Yep.
Like a salamander.
You just bisect it,
and you just ignore the sound it makes.
That's the sound of a happy frog.
It's a continuous cycle from tadpole to frog,
back to tadpole.
Yeah, back to tadpole.
Yeah.
Yeah, that's why you take half the frog,
and then from whence you came, back into the pond, and then it feeds the tadpoles. Yeah, that's why you take half the frog and then from once you came
back into the pond,
it feeds the tadpoles.
Woody, I tried to go back to From.
I wanted to finish the season.
It's all out.
Man, we got halfway through the season
finale, the last episode,
and my girlfriend was like,
can we watch something else? I don't care what.
The Simpsons will be fine.
I finished From.
And I got that same vibe you get when you're done school for the summer.
Like, I'm free.
I don't have to do this.
There's no From next week that I have to watch.
Kyle, I think you need to watch Succession again.
From was so terrible. I don't know.
You missed out on the succession
ending.
There's a white guy in From with a shaved head
and I'd have shot him so long ago.
Is he the denier guy?
Yeah, he's the denier who doesn't
believe in the monsters and he's the one
who kidnapped Big Bertha.
He thinks they're animatronic or something
or we're all on LSD or everybody's in on it.
So he kidnaps Big Bertha, and he's going to torture her.
He's got her haphazardly tied to a tree in the woods, and he's got to-
This is Donna, right?
You're talking about-
Yeah.
And Black Sheriff Man comes along, and his first move isn't to kill the guy immediately,
which is what mine would have been.
Oh, did you kidnap one of us, tie us up in the woods, and intend to torture them?
You die now.
He gives him the gun two hours
later.
He gave him the gun. He said, why don't you go out
and see if the gun works?
Alright, I will. Yeah, go on out.
What?
Don't worry, we have an infinite
box of guns.
Not only did he give him one of the very few guns,
it was loaded with the magic bullets.
He's like, I made these these magic bullets let's see if they work we still don't know if they work right i didn't finish episode 10 so i don't know if they figured out or i don't think we know if
they work and also no one has ever hit a headshot in that show no they're like these guys are
impervious to bullets i hit them in the shoulder, the other shoulder,
and then the first shoulder, and then maybe the bicep.
And I'm like, Jesus Christ, can you hit a head?
I saw a theory online that these monsters are these zombie vampires
from a, I think it's Dutch or or some sort of european eastern european type
legend and uh these monsters fit a lot of the characteristics that come from this legend
headshot a monster please let me know like yeah if that kills them they didn't try poking them
in the eye or anything like burning them uh yeah it's a real shit to your show there's so many times where
the show clearly thinks we're morons and that its viewers have to be morons they go to finally burn
the monster they killed i'd have kicked it out the back door dump some diesel on it lit it up and
like watch they wrapped it in like the shroud of turin and then they did this ornate rope braiding thing around it and then back through
around it and then back through but and there was no reason for any of that other than to hide the
fact that they're not actually burning that famous actor that they killed that sounds retarded. A major writing technique is like,
I'll say, hey, Taylor, listen.
I went under the town and found secret caves littered with the monsters that would be killing us.
And Taylor replies with like,
Woody, I don't have time right now.
I need to go.
They've used that one so many times.
This is a town full of unemployed people.
What are you drinking again?
You're talking about monsters living under the ground that's nonsense now excuse me while i go fight the monsters in the lighthouse
i have to go be sullen in the woods for two hours i'm gonna be a pouty 15 year old who
can't decide whether she's a grown like bad bitch or she's a baby.
Which one are you talking about now?
The chubby little daughter who's just annoying and overacts all the time.
She's either a damsel in distress
or a bad bitch depending on what they need her to be.
They don't know if she's an adult
or they don't know what anybody is.
It's just shit!
The acting is terrible.
At the same time i'm watching um
silo all mankind no the the astronaut show for all mankind is the astronaut for all mankind
that show is very good very good i'm like i'm a little sucked into it right now i am good
i'm almost to where like i started it again so i'm almost to the point where like
the stuff i haven't seen is coming up and i was kind of maybe not paying full attention
the first viewing so i'm what's going on right now uh the russian cosmonaut just knocked on
the door of the space station and he never met him before uh well he met him at the crater sort of sign language yeah and a
little sign language the cosmonaut had a hammer but we know our guy's big strong badass so we
don't i don't really know how that would would have gone and plus space fighting i mean who the
fuck knows yeah i don't want to fight a man with a hammer if i don't have one though he cracks my
like face i was to say on earth,
my money's totally on the American guy.
That guy's like six,
four and jacked and you know,
whatever.
He is a big dude,
but in space,
who knows?
Maybe it's down to which space suit lets you move more.
I'm not sure they can clap in those fucking things.
You know,
our space suits are one size fits all.
I didn't know that
that doesn't seem like it should be the case but okay um but anyway later he goes back to the space
station very expensive the guy knocks on the door he puts him in the airlock and he's like come on
in watch can't get back to your base that's fine come into my base that's cool he puts him in the
airlock he pressurizes it so that the astronaut has air the astronaut
the cosmonaut i should say takes off his space uniform and then he depressurizes it to kill him
and that's where the episode ends you don't know what happens next i do but i haven't told jackie
who i'm watching with no it's a very good show it's good writing shit happens they have the
budget to show you when it happens and things make sense look i'm not a
physicist but nothing was so bonkers silly that i was like come on that's not how that i don't
know how a bomb works but it doesn't work like that i mean i do know how a bomb works but yeah
he does aesthetically the technology that i don't understand like everything looks like it should do
the things that they say it does and all then when you do like a little bit of smart and rational i'm
sorry to cut you off yeah yeah it's rare because they're all and this is one of things
i like about star trek not to bring it to that but everybody's a fucking squared away professional
nobody's doing any nonsense i'm not gonna my dick is not gonna lead me astray here necessarily i'm
with the fucking captain and i like that these guys are all air force badass test pilots and they're all like
this cohesive group so there's not going to be any like he said she said said thing or nobody's
gonna turn on anybody just to give you some drama like that never happens we have little spats or
whatever like like a um two of the astronauts are married the fun part to me is that this guy is a test pilot astronaut man.
And his wife is like, I'm going to join, too.
And it just so happens that for PR reasons, we need a lady astronaut.
And there's no and she's the closest to the finish line because she was a test pilot herself at some point.
And so then they have this fun, like like let's find the three best women pilots
in the country and turns out the wife of the guy is like the worst of them but she's also the
hottest by far the hottest she's good for her chances oh come on she's a smoke show the rest
i actually think the lesbian's really good looking too but maybe uh i'm forgiving a lesbian that wears a jacket she's not to me at all oh i'm not
sure there's two lesbians i think this i the older ones bring each other in space zeros wait who are
the two lesbians there's the hot one who's the heiress with brown hair the one that i think is
hot and then i'm wondering oh is that other chick straight she just the older
one right the other one's straight yeah yeah yeah she's married to that hippie guy you're right
you're right i like him they have a fun story oh he i like him too i didn't like him initially
okay okay so the one i'm talking about is on the far left of this picture and i think she's
attractive um some people might not like some people might think she's flat or too skinny or
whatever but we all know i'm down with that body type kyle's talking about tall the middle one is
the hot one this is not a super good picture of her but i take our word for it she's hot
and the one who's not a lesbian but you could be confused is in the sort of foreground blonde
yeah and then i think that chick on the right just fucking dies.
She dies trying to lay more land.
The black chick in the back is like total hero.
She might be one of the more heroic
characters in the whole show, like top three perhaps.
They do some crazy shit.
Great show.
I love that they have the budget over at Apple to make shit happen.
Space is expensive
to do.
And time.
So they're on a space station.
And one person casually asks, like, hey, can you pass me the toolbox?
And they throw what looks like it should be like a 125-pound toolbox.
Maybe they're in space.
And they just throw it across.
And it floats to the other person who catches it and does whatever.
It's such a tiny little nonsense scene, but I know it must have taken like 30 man hours to produce this effect where they filmed it and captured it and had a toolbox float in zero G over to the other person.
And I was like, wow, they're really doing like there's no shortcuts.
That was a tiny little thing that most people
probably didn't pay much attention to but here they are putting a lot of time effort you get
immersed and you believe they're on the moon like you buy into the idea that they're on the moon
uh yeah they're all it it looks awful there there's one part where they have to stay there
for a very long time because you can't well two, two more weeks. You have to leave a man on the moon.
This is ahead of what you've seen.
No, it's not.
Oh.
It's not, yeah.
They have to leave an American on the base
or the Russians could come and take it.
They could steal all the tech
or maybe just own our base.
Steal all the moon tech and we...
Just take our...
It's like...
You got to think of it like frontiers times right
we have a claim you know we're we're we have a we have a gold claim on the river
we can't abandon it or the russians will move and this is our gold claim what do you mean no one
here when you show up no we need that that's that that's everything so somebody has like sent
research tools and everything before they secured it militarily?
No, no, no.
So they sent people with the research tools to set up a little habitat, and that worked.
When these people were scheduled to be relieved, something went horribly wrong.
I think maybe something blew up.
Yeah, yeah.
During testing, a rocket blew up.
The rocket was coming to get them and bring new people, I think, maybe even.
They weren't launching it yet, though. And the cycle restarts
and it's a long time. This guy has to stay up there by himself.
Because of the nature of the explosion, the other rockets
that are going to go get them need to be reworked and tested and some substantial
replacement. And they keep telling him, like, oh, in two weeks someone will get here. They go
bonkers on this space station. and like not lost but alone and they're there way too long
bob newhart that's what it was easy to go crazy so bob newhart's way before our time taylor um i
don't probably yours too woody unless you watch nick i watched it as a child now i saw yeah like
the 80s so they have that up there on vhs i assume and it's their
they're a very limited media and so over and over they're watching it and they're playing this game
they've been up there so long where the three of them are doing all the parts here i just saw this
fast so here's what happened they uh they're watching bob newhart and they watch it every
night all the time to the point where all of them know all the lines.
And while they're tired of it and they desperately want new tapes, they're not sending them.
They're sending these unmanned rockets to keep them supplied, but they can't send people to relieve them.
And every time they talk to them, they're begging, like, can we have more episodes of Bob Newhart?
Can we have more episodes of anything,hart can we have more episodes of anything please but they don't prioritize that so they're just going mentally insane watching Bob Newhart
anytime Bob walks into the room they say hi Bob and then everyone says hi Bob so they started
doing it to each other and then at one point the VHS tape gets eaten by the VHS recorder by the
VCR and uh so they carefully repair it and put it back together
but sure enough like one or two more playings and now it's destroyed now they truly don't
have bob newhart so to keep themselves sane they're reenacting all the scenes and they just
showed these scenes to us so we know the script or at least you recognize that they're getting it
right like word for word
for pattern and the timing dude they needed someone creative on board like do you know how
quickly i would have been like guys is this the only media you've ever done let's write our own
play let's do a play everyone come on let's today i am going to pretend that i am only for the next
seven months i am going to judge and so I am going to
pretend that my name is Varesh Madunaman and I am part of the Indian team and I
am going to save you by bringing more Bollywood films see we're already having
fun on this space space
See like you just need to have a negative
Day 2 of that
Everyone is so bored and then I'm like I'm the first person to be crucified on the moon.
No, we go crazy with that accent.
That's funny now.
Two weeks of that, and I'm going to have you in the airlock
draining the O2 out.
Come on, do it now.
Kyle, please, I know there is nothing to get done,
but you must wake up.
We must stay on a schedule.
I'm getting so tired. Taylor is bullshit. get done but you must wake up we must stay on a schedule you will absolutely need to do the necessary to save us oh look at this another day of cali and it's like it's potato paste
dude this show is really good for all mankind it's on apple tv's potato paste. Stop saying that. Dude, this show is really good.
For all mankind, it's on Apple TV.
Apple TV, by the way, I think it's $4.99 a month.
If not, I might be mixing it up with a different one.
But I think it's cheaper than all the others.
They're getting their consumer base set up.
And then they're going to go...
In a couple of years.
I bet it's a really bad trade.
Kyle pays $15 for Netflix. And someone else pays $5 for Apple. No, I went the other way. No, no, no. I bet it's a really bad trade. Kyle pays $15 for Netflix
and someone else pays $5 for Apple.
No, I went the other way.
I pulled out of Netflix.
I'm on the receiving end of all the free stuff now.
I'm not propping anybody else's 10 up anymore.
Oh, it's $6.99.
Yeah, is that the ad free
at $6.99?
Is there an ad version of Apple?
I have no idea.
I don't have ads ads i just thought it was
more i thought it was 12 bucks or something but yeah i'm a big fan of apple i think they're making
the best stuff out there right now and i haven't even like gotten into the minutiae of those little
all those little shows that are on there and i didn't like severance which i think a lot of
people do like severance i really like ted lasso and it's on there and i think i liked it more than
kyle but i like it's one of the more popular shows like in the world ted lasso so and it's on there. I think I liked it more than Kyle. It's one of the more popular shows in the world.
Ted Lasso. It's definitely a good
show. I just don't know. Ted Lasso
ended in three seasons and it
ended on time. I'm so
happy about that.
I feel like they just
nailed the length of that show
and very few other
shows crush it.
How long would you guys,
let's say you're Matt Damon in the Martian or,
or you're on that,
that one movie with the guy who's on the ship in the middle of the ocean.
That's an even scarier.
We'll do the ship in the middle of the life of pie.
It's just you.
No,
it's a,
it's an older,
there's no,
there's no tiger.
I've never seen it on a regular one,
but a tiger was in his mind.
How long do you think?
And assume in this situation you have food.
So I guess space station works better.
You got food, you got water, like all the necessities.
Yeah.
How long can you survive there by yourself, do you think,
before you actually start losing your mind?
I think I can entertain myself for a good while, frankly.
Well, okay.
So what are the rules? Do we have any, can we send letters?
There's no entertainment, there's no communication,
and there's no time for you to go hunting or fishing or anything.
There's no pre-packed and set up.
There's nothing to do other than...
Can you see out the window and see the earth?
No.
You would really start going mentally ill within a couple of weeks, I think,
because you wouldn't be able to tell.
Now, I say that, although I just saw this podcast about this lady who went into a cave.
She was already old.
She spent like a year in a cave in isolation in complete darkness.
They had to go get her, and she wasn't right when they got her back.
She didn't do this? Yes, it was like an
experiment. But the thing
that was weird to her, she was
like, what are you doing here? It's not over yet.
I'm supposed to spend a year in here.
It's been a year. You're late.
She's like, no, it's been
a few months because you're
sleeping all the time, and you have
no diurnal cycle or any concept of the sun anymore.
So you don't know if you slept for five minutes or five hours.
You lose any concept of that.
You ever wake up from a nap, and you're not sure if it's night or day
because maybe you napped at 10 a.m.
I hate that.
I've woken up, and it's dim outside,
and I'm confused for a couple minutes about if it's night or day
whether it's setting or rising.
She's in there getting that continuously for a year man i i wouldn't want any part of that it's worse than prison prison you have this social aspect where like some good some
bad but it's there yeah but the social aspect like you're right like that keeps you sane there's a
reason like a lot of prisoners they're like no put me back out in general with the rapists and murderers
don't lock me up alone i'll lose my mind like yeah being locked alone as a social intelligent
mammal is enormously cruel oh you mentioned that i saw a video of a chimpanzee like a research chimp
seeing the sky for a first time today it's
like an old chimp they let it out of the cage and it's like and then it hugs the other champ
like looking at the fucking sky for the first time what were they doing with this chimp
it'd been in a cage in a facility its whole life and we're testing how sad chimps get without... So sad today!
You wouldn't believe it!
This is our monkey. We nicknamed him Bummer.
Because he sits in a dark box all day.
What are you learning? I don't know, but we're making a million
dollars a month from NASA.
They do all sorts of awful things to them
supposedly for our benefit.
I'm sure that we wouldn't have the vaccines
and drugs that we have
if a lot of animals hadn't suffered.
I know that Musk was like
he lost a lot of monkeys in his
neuro thing, which
apparently has been approved for human trials. That thing
where they put the implants in your brain.
Fuck that.
Elon Musk is putting things in their brain. That's happening now taylor you're saying the drill bits would break yeah
i'm eight years from now i'm in like just keep turning the press wheel
i don't know shattering they're like god damn we can't implant him there's a guy oiling the bit
i'm too mentally tough like no it's a physical barrier machine stuff you're out you're putting lube all over that
it's like yeah i'm gonna go to the guy that wants to be able to remotely turn off my car
and let him put something in my brain yeah yeah i'm gonna do that that seems like a smart prudent
idea look we all know that elon mus Musk doesn't make cars or rocket ships.
He is a manager and a marketer.
So I have no issues with this company that he is clearly a part of
or a member of the board of or says he owns
that puts things in people's brains that makes them better.
I'm going to be second in line.
Who's first?
I mean, Zach says they approved the the shit may 9th so literally
like two months ago yeah less than a month and a half ago imagine this being a tech that you
want to be an early adopter of like jesus christ what like jen you're a fucking moron if you're
paying to have elon musk put a chip in your brain. I don't think you have to pay.
I think it's free.
You're probably getting compensated.
What happens when something's free?
You are getting compensated. You're the product.
I believe it's all a scam.
He's like, I can't figure out self-driving,
so I'm going to pretend
that I have and just get you
to drive and tell you it's implants
do yeah it's like damn this is so good i don't even know it's working i mean i mean that would
be an incredible solution if you actually did that if if via the neural link your car was
self-driving because it was just doing what you wanted it to do that's like driving that's driving
that's not driving if you sat there and my car already does
what i wanted to do and i had to imagine the car to do you're imagining it though just like there's
a clint eastwood movie where he goes he gets dropped into soviet russia right to steal their
super fighter and um it's good i think it's called firefox and he gets into the base at the end and
he gets in this thing and it looks badass.
Super crazy fast. There's parts
where he hits the hyperdrive
or whatever. It's kind of grounded in reality.
It's not like a spaceship. It's a plane.
He outruns a missile at one point
and it's so funny. The missile's
catching him, catching him. He's just like
and just
he's already going so fast
but then he accelerates
well beyond that and the the gimmick though is the helmet um reads his mind and he has to give
it commands telepathically essentially he thinks a thing and it happens but he has to think it in
russian yeah that's the way i remember it anyway so it's a whole problem um it's it's a fun little movie
it's got a little espionage and james bondish stuff at the beginning uh and clinty's woods
always fun and then this whole he's trying to escape with the plane back to the americans
and uh so they're chasing him the whole time the soviet hangar that's absolutely crawling with
soviet soldiers and he's like warming up the plane and everything.
There's like hundreds of people in the
hangar. I'm like, why isn't
anyone stopping this? He's got the helmet on
so they think he's the test pilot. They were about
to do a test flight of the thing.
And Clint Eastwood's buddy has caused
a diversion. And everybody's scrambling
to put out a fire or something like that.
And he's just, you see him
just walk casually. As everybody's running around to put the fire fire or something like that and he's just you see him just walk casually as everybody's running around with a fire out he's got the helmet on he's just
like gearing the plane this super top secret plane to go and then start people start noticing and
they're like wait what well well no don't do that and then they panic more and more and more that's
a good movie i like it this ukrainian stuff when we're talking about weapons is it's it's like the opposite of what the winter was every day they're like a couple of hundred
meters or a couple of kilometers they're moving forward every day they're like gaining some
mountain that gives them a strategic advantage over the village next to it or they take the
village and just the ukrainians are crawling forward
crossing rivers it's real fascinating the whole thing uh i think we're we're it's we're witnessing
a bit of history this will be uh talked about for a very long time to come and and we won't
really understand what has happened um step by step i don't think for many years to come i think
there'll be some great movies made about this shit.
The whole drama they recently had with the Wagner guy, Progozin,
essentially mutinying,
seemingly heading toward Moscow to get
Segoia, or whatever his name is,
the Minister of Defense, and then all of a sudden
they're like, hey, in the name of stopping
bloodshed, everybody turn around and go back.
The story was online
that Progozin's and perhaps other leaders of Wagner's families were bloodshed everybody turn around and go back and the the story was online that progosians
and perhaps other leaders of wagner's families were um um being threatened by uh security um
that just like inexplicably the the russian um military has different branches of army
they also have like eight different intelligence agencies and they they've got a
bunch of them um but somebody snatched somebody's like wife or children or something and like made
them stop like some james bond shit happened they're saying that's what they're saying um and
i think that putin said and again i read articles but i don't read i read the Title Star articles. I read one that said Putin was telling the
Wagner's who essentially mutinied that they could go to Belarus
or they could join the regular Russian army.
He was giving them that option. The whole thing is really bizarre. It's such a bad look for Putin.
Man, he's made himself look so...
You go back three years is back to doing what they were doing
five days ago so apparently pergogion is actually in some ways a very good leader now he's had a
lot of deaths and you know it leads him to the slaughter to some extent he has some people come
on that are cannon fire you know they're awful people freeze them from prison uses them as
cannon fodder but he
seems to care about his people more than the proper russian army does and his people are
fiercely loyal to him so without him the wagner's forces are not the same we think he's a mercenary
leader right yes yeah so they're all just like to the highest bidder people well that's one way of
looking at it but it's not exactly like blackwater who worked like a business um or did work like a
business they they they freed a lot of these people from prison a lot of these guys were
doing 30 years and then like make imagine a scenario where some guy gets a french foreign
legion french foreign legion Legion is a whole other thing,
right? Like anybody can join it. That's the whole
caveat. You were saying the prison thing, and I was
kind of like the French Foreign Legion. Do they free
prisoners? I think if you're
a French prisoner. I think some are felons.
I don't know about getting out of
prison early, but maybe. The stereotype
that's always written about in novels and stuff
is that someone who's like a wanted man
is like, I'll join the French Foreign Legion.
They'll take anyone.
They'll take anyone.
You have to put in your 10 years of being a mercenary doing whatever.
I have no idea how many years.
I hope not.
I bet it's a long time.
If it's basically we'll take anyone and give you a new life of –
Yeah, down to 18 months.
Yeah.
There's no way.
It's like I got gotta just put in my
three months and they pay for college too 60 days and you're out of here i got the black rock
scholarship i shot the most people in nicaragua i've been offered to do what essentially amount
to war tourism multiple times don't do that. Not lately or anything.
The one I wanted to do, though, and I kept the conversation would start with me asking
if they could get me on a
cargo ship to do security.
I was like, I just want to hang out on the cargo ship,
have quarters, eat meals with the crew,
and I'll just be on deck, and if some Somalians
roll up in a speedboat, I'll shoot
your gun at them. That sounds
fun. I'll do that that and they're like well we
could get you in syria embedded you'll technically be media so you'll be you'll have a camera um but
you know there's plenty of guns there you know what i mean like
and it's like what am i just supposed to loot i'm searching chests
they alluded that like they they give me shit they gear me up and i could be part of like a And it's like, no. Am I just supposed to loot? I'm searching chests?
They alluded that they give me shit.
They gear me up, and I could be part of a security.
Be a mercenary, basically, in everything but name.
That I would have media credentials because of YouTube or whatever,
and I'd be covering their squad. But essentially, I would just be there to shoot if I wanted to.
But that sounded like going to war.
And again, what I want to do is get on that big boat.
Because I've seen videos of him trying to come up in those little speedboats.
And it seems like a real turkey shoot.
I think I'd be all right.
You think you'd be okay?
I know I'd be okay.
You take like one stray bullet that hits you just top of the skull.
Then that's what happens.
I don't even know it happened.
It just lights out.
And that's a hell of a story. hear what happened to kyle no he got into a gunfight
with somalian pirates and they shot him did you know what happened i would i would love that if
if i was standing next to you firing at the somali pirates and then a bullet takes your
your head off i am 100 i'm looking around i'm making sure nobody saw i'm throwing your body
overboard i continue to kill them and i go, no one's going to...
Guys, Kyle leapt from the boat and murdered all of those guys.
Into theirs.
And it's like, where's the evidence of that?
I'm like, I don't know. That's the song.
Stab me up a bunch of times and tell them that I jumped in with my knife
and had a knife fight with eight of them and killed them all.
I would.
Really shine my wheels when the cameras come on. I would absolutely
pump your tires and I hope if I was killed
by this Kamali's, you would do the same for me.
Dude, I'll make up the most crazy shit.
It's true.
It was like the rhinoceros from Spider-Man.
He just rolled into
the group of them.
They ran in fear, but he cut them
down nonetheless. They stood
there, the group of them, starving.
They were 110
pounds each if they were 50.
Many of them
had eight or more fingers.
Teeth, I could see some.
It seems like
you beat a bunch of starving people to death.
Yeah, but they were trying
to get in line at the buffet. We should probably
wrap. We have the hangout tonight
Alright
