Starting point is 00:00:00 Welcome to guys a podcast about guys. I am Brian. My co-host is Chris the zombie starboard James you got no brains they eat brains that's a fucking huge insult like calling someone a zombie star at first I was like oh okay that's kind of a cool thing to be like fuck the zombies God that's a real, you came at me from behind with that in song. I was going to call you like zombie bait, but then it would say that you have brains.
Starting point is 00:00:53 And I was trying to say you don't have any brains because that's not that's not like a common term or anything like that. That's no, I made that up. I might go on our slash zombies and let them know that new insult I came up with. But you know to explain it. I'm not going to lie to you. It kind of seems like you just made it up. I don't know. Yeah, I know. I know. I'm just saying I don't know that everyone's going to be like, wow, that's incredibly clever.
Starting point is 00:01:17 They will. They will. And we have a zombie. My friend, he would be a lean cuisine. And that is our guest. You might know him as Bakun on Twitter. He's Oliver leech. What's up, Oliver? Howdy boys. We are here to tell you by the way, just howdy. Well that was really kind of sultry. I liked that. Are you feeling, are you feeling like sexy today? Oliver? I just got back from the post office a little bit.
Starting point is 00:01:48 There's a lot of sexual stuff at the post office for sure. Yeah, truly. Gumby guys, right? Gumby. No zombie guys. We're talking zombie guys this week, which I didn't think still existed. This was a shot in the dark. As we've mentioned on the last couple episodes, these are episodes that were unplanned. And me and Chris just are keeping recording until I leave for California so that we have extra so that we have space before I get back.
Starting point is 00:02:20 I mean, it's safe to say that we're preparing ourselves in the same sort of way that you might have to prepare yourself for a certain type of apocalypse if it came down to it. So I didn't think there were 2024 zombie guys and I got to tell you guys, there's some 2024 zombie guys. There's like a lot of 2024 zombie. I thought this thing died in like 2013. I saw. I know I know that there are a lot of them. I encounter them all the time. Yeah, like it just it feels like this is always just like an ever present thing for certain people, like a certain type of person. They're always just kind of
Starting point is 00:03:00 preparing themselves. I mean, with like the preppers or whatever, or like the sword guys that we encountered, you know, they're thinking zombie apocalypse. So yeah, what what what specifically are like, what type of overlap between a sword guy and a zombie guy? Yes. Yes. Because you can cut their head off, but that won't kill them. Actually, I hate engaging in the zombie talk. You know what I mean? Because that's what goes on almost all day on the red. It's like, well, the sword would work, but you cut their head off, and they're still not dead because you got to kill the brains. And it's like, oh, my god, they're not real.
Starting point is 00:03:34 So to be clear, that's what type of zombie guy we're talking about, just people who are imagining a zombie apocalypse and describing what they would do in a zombie apocalypse. There's a lot of that. And we got a little bit of, I wanted to make sure it wasn't fans of the, I mean, obviously it's fans of the books and the stuff like that, obviously. But like I wanted them to be one step past fans
Starting point is 00:03:59 of the books and stuff like that. Some, a place where, I'll read you the first post that I found okay on our slash zombies from ride a mo says zombies and fire anyone have enough knowledge to know how the brain would fare against being burnt I think crispy zombies like like like like is there like a doctor or like a like a brain surgeon or someone like are they talking about a real burning brain? Have you guys heard of burning brains? I mean, what kind of
Starting point is 00:04:32 expert would they are they talking about a zombie expert or just like an expert in brains? It can't be a brains expert because the rest of it says I've seen crispy zombies on TV before I wondered how possible they are with the fire damage the brain and cause death. OK, so this is a hypothetical. So it's safe to say everything we're going to be covering here is a hypothetical zombie apocalypse scenario. It's not grounded. It all sort of goes back to fucking Mel Brooks, his son.
Starting point is 00:05:01 Oh, yeah. We will be talking about him. I don't know. I don't know. Please enlighten me. will be talking about him. I don't know. I don't know. Please enlighten me. I don't know that. I don't know. A book. OK. The zombie survival guide, wasn't it? Mm hmm. And World War Z. Yeah, which led to World War Z.
Starting point is 00:05:18 Yeah, I see. So he's kind of like he's kind of like the guy who wrote the past of foreign thing or whatever. He's kind of like the originator in a way. Yeah, I mean, he's the one who got them thinking about how they would deal with it if it was real. You know what I mean? Like, I think there were always like zombie movies that people
Starting point is 00:05:36 like. Well, well, Oliver, you're a huge you like a lot of horror. Oh, absolutely. You've watched tons of zombie films, right? What's the what's the best zombie film in your opinion? I Mean what's like my personal favorite? Yes, what's your personal favorite? My personal favorite gotta be return of the living bed Okay Return is that the second the first sequel to night of a living dead
Starting point is 00:06:01 It's sort of an unofficial sequel gotcha Okay, so that is one right? It's a weird 80s one. It's kind of yeah, like a punk, a lot of punks, new wave guys. Okay. Yeah. Yeah. There's like, you know, like a, there's some guys typology within Return of the Living Dead. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, all of the aren't all these movies basically like, like, here's a bunch of types of guys that are that are not Yeah, yeah. I mean all of the aren't all these movies basically like Like here's a bunch of types of guys that are that are not. Yeah. Yeah, they don't work microcosm in a situation Yeah, how would these bunch of type of guys work now? That's an interesting conversation for me That is not a conversation any of these guys talk about that's the fucking problem
Starting point is 00:06:42 It's like yeah, what would happen if a bunch of types of guys were stuck in a mall? That's an interesting story. You know what I mean? But what would happen if you want to? Night of living dead is, you know, you know, and some people say the first modern horror movie. And it's about types of people in a situation. But these guys are talking. So this this person responds over a And it's about types of people in a situation. But these guys are talking.
Starting point is 00:07:06 So this this person responds over a long enough time, the brain would get cooked and die long before that muscles and nerves will be burnt to the point. They're no longer functional. So even though they're still alive, they'd be lying on the floor almost motionless. This still takes time though. And bodies themselves don't burn, so you'd need something to keep them engulfed in flames. Fuel or alcohol work great.
Starting point is 00:07:29 The issue here is that you're very likely to start a large scale fire that gets completely out of control though. That's a huge, yeah, you could damage some of the surrounding businesses and the cake scenario that you've created inside your head, yeah. And with no firefighters around, you could easily burn down an entire force.
Starting point is 00:07:47 What do you mean no firefighter? Why is there no fire? Oh, cause it's the zombie apocalypse? Yeah. If you ever think about what would happen if like the stores all stayed open, but there were some zombies running around, you know what I mean?
Starting point is 00:07:59 That never comes up. Yeah, they just, it's always kind of- It's just the emergency. Yeah, it's always kind of understood that when the zombies come out that everything has gone to shit already, you know, like, yeah, it would be kind of interesting if I mean, you know, in my opinion, I think sometimes when I walk around, if I'm at the mall or whatever, you guys are gonna be with me on
Starting point is 00:08:22 this. But sometimes it feels like I'm looking at the zombie apocalypse the way these kids are looking at their phones or smartphones. True. And when you're shopping at the mall, sometimes it looks like I'm looking at the zombie apocalypse because it's like, oh, consume, consume. Yeah. You have a different one. Yours is kind of an older version of mine, but I like. Are zombies theoretically possible?
Starting point is 00:08:46 Asks Bobby Sunday, 96 theoretically possible. Yeah, we're we're diving into some theory now. I've done that since my old podcast. Let's dive into some fucking theory, folks. OK, zombies are dead people that have come back to life because of a virus. But realistically, a zombie would not have a functioning circulatory system or a muscular system or even any other functioning body system. In that case, how would a zombie even be able to function?
Starting point is 00:09:15 Well, it wouldn't. Yeah, they would basically be decomposing corpses that would not be capable of anything. That's right. No, you're right. It's a make them up. It's a make them up. It's a make a believe it's like so many other things that are not even at all grounded in reality. It's a little kind of brain game.
Starting point is 00:09:32 You can play in your brain. Oh, it's so fun. Well, this guy. Yeah. It's a fun little thing to just think about, you know? Well, how about this dark 25 says, I think they are. There are a lot like parasites that controls their hosts. Rabies also exist. There's a drug called Flakka that has similar effects.
Starting point is 00:09:51 Okay, no, so that's something you read in the news. On Fark, like a Florida man story. Yeah, like about Flakka or whatever and causing zombie like trances, I think where people go into psychosis or whatever. So I think people oftentimes they'll say psychosis or somebody who's dealing with that is looks like a zombie. Me personally I think every kid I see at the mall and their phone. And then me personally I think every time I see some guy at the mall he's consuming and consuming it's the same thing. But there's okay all right let's answer
Starting point is 00:10:25 another um this guy is on the Elvis says there are a couple infections that are close rabies kuru and cordyceps come to mind but they're not close because we're talking about something that reanimate a dead person there's no there's nothing that comes close to that in our world I I don't think. I don't know. Maybe some people can correct me here. Well, I mean, this magic. That's true. And if you look at a world and you don't think about all the magic
Starting point is 00:10:54 in the world, are you really living? Okay, Brian, don't take your thumbs out. Don't do your light up. Brian's looking around now. I dropped them on the floor last night when we did the stream last night. I dropped them on the floor when you yelled at me for them. Yeah, Brian has these magic thumbs. I assumed as soon as you mentioned magic,
Starting point is 00:11:12 he was gonna bust them out. There they are. Are you impressed by that, Oliver? It's a thumb. It's like the huge fake thumbs that Peewee had. No, no, no, no. No, no, no, no, no. No, no, no, no. That's my actual thumb.
Starting point is 00:11:27 He likes to pretend like it looks like a real thumb and doesn't look extremely oversized. So hold on. It's my real thumb. Yeah, it lights up. I can't tell you how, but it does dark. Twenty five says rabies are terrifying as hell. Yeah. Yeah. Well, take away the post exposure treatment and make it as infectious as COVID. Boom. You got some zombies.
Starting point is 00:11:51 But but you don't though. But again, you don't because these are not. I'm like boom when I'm taking my boomstick out and I'm fucking zombie hordes on my ass. I mean, these people have never been dead. That is the key difference. They have never been dead. Well, did you see the rabid fox attack on woman video recently? That's just how mindless and violent zombies are. Just kept going after her. Well, no, no, there are people again who experience psychosis and or like, you know, extreme violence and
Starting point is 00:12:26 but it's just I don't I don't I can't keep saying this. So let me throw this out to you to Oliver and Chris here. A thousand years from now in space colonization results in humans living on multiple worlds. Okay. The WMDs of that time will be bombs that release aerialized rabies. Take out a whole planet by dropping a zombie apocalypse on them. So what do you want me to what do you want us to say to that? It's an interesting thought.
Starting point is 00:12:54 But like, how do you want us to respond to that? Do you want us to pretend like like what? How are we supposed to? I mean, this is I. Here's what I would fiction. It's like from Star Wars or whatever. This is the actual this is a prediction of what's and I would like you to rub your chin a little bit and go. That's interesting.
Starting point is 00:13:11 Well, I mean, I mean, this guy says animals are aggressive with rabies and bite, and it leads me to question why humans don't have the same behavior. I can't do this. Are these people fucking serious? Yes, I promise you that this is as serious as anything else we've read. I was gonna ask, are these children? But no, I know they're not. No, because I don't think kids are into zombies.
Starting point is 00:13:44 No, it's an adult thing. Definitely. I think, yeah. Yeah, I mean, I have a 19 year old daughter that never once expressed any interest in anything zombie related. And then you could be like, oh, she doesn't like horror movies,
Starting point is 00:13:57 but she does like horror movies. She watches horror movies. She's just not, it's not, it is a- Does she have a, does she like a kind of monster and does she like, does she have a favorite kind of horror movie? She like mid summer a lot. And also maybe psychological or a little bit. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:14:15 And she likes slashers. We saw the remake of a child's play with Aubrey Plaza. We loved it. And ma, we saw the movie Ma and thought it was one of the great I took a bunch of teenage girls to see Mark as they talked me into it. It's a bad movie too, but I enjoyed it. But that's off. That's crazy. I just really bad movie like it's really like seems like a watch that. Yeah, you should you would get a kick out of it, I think, Oliver.
Starting point is 00:14:45 It's, it's. Yeah, like Chris, you're a horror movie boy as well. Famous actor as well who plays the lead. I forget what her name is. That's good. So we go, strange symptoms like hydrophobia and arophobia exist in humans infected with rabies. It'd be terrifying if it evolved into symptoms
Starting point is 00:15:01 where humans show signs of aggression, just like animals. CDC claims cordyceps can infect humans but there was recently a first killer plant fungus infection by a 61 year old cochondrostarium perponium virus. Oh man. Cordyceps are there they all all of them bring up quarter steps. Now, if you were to ask me what a quarter step is, I would have no fucking idea. I didn't look it up. I didn't. But I think here's what I think. It is the stuff.
Starting point is 00:15:37 From that last of us show. Yeah, 100 percent. I know. I know from watching Animal Planet. So it's a this and shit. It's yeah, it's like a fungus that gets inside of ants brains. Mm hmm. But if you got in our brains, if it got in our brains, they can't. I'd be crazy. But like I couldn't handle it.
Starting point is 00:16:01 Yeah, I would be fucking if it was if all of a sudden some quarters and cordialism got into my fucking brain, I would be fucking if it was if all of a sudden some quarters and cordyla's on got into my fucking brain, I would be like, what the fuck, man, I would be going crazy. Why am I so aggressive right now? Like, I guess it is kind of fun to do. But it's like, you're they're just going on here and saying, what would happen if this thing that I entirely invented in my head? Now, now'm going to read you a different one. Okay.
Starting point is 00:16:27 I don't believe it's possible in the sense of reanimation. Thank you. Thank you. This person. Thank you. Maybe 28 days later, types of zombies where they're still biologically alive, that would probably be for the best, though, as conventional termination methods would still work.
Starting point is 00:16:43 People highly underestimate how hard headshots. CTE. Conventional Termination Method. CTM. You know, we're doing some CTMs when they're still alive. So this guy at first is like, I don't believe in it. And he's like, no, I believe in the other fake ones from the other movie. I believe yeah, like obviously the one type of movie is outrageous. But this other Hollywood movie I saw seems a little bit more plausible. But listen, I do.
Starting point is 00:17:12 I think he's right in that, like the reanimation. Don't laugh at me. You think he's right. I just I just think he's right in the sense that the reanimating something that's already dead, an organism that has already died being reanimated. Yeah, I mean, it's less magical. Somebody was like flipping out and trying to eat somebody. Yeah, that that's possible where something infects somebody's brain and it makes them
Starting point is 00:17:37 go completely crazy. And they're trying to eat people. I mean, it's it seems farfetched, but it seems plausible. Which is why Return of the Living Dead is great and why these kind of people don't like it, because there's kind of no rules to the zombies in it. That's what I like. I like the no rules kind of, because these guys believe in so many rules.
Starting point is 00:17:55 That it's like- Oh yeah, there's a whole D&D rulebook to it. Oh yeah, zombies. I mean, you can do the zombie stuff, but you gotta have a little zombie decorum as well. Yes. There has to be zombie decorum. This guy says, best is really subjective. Well, sure, one wouldn't have to rely on strictly aiming for the head to kill. They're still pumping enough adrenaline into their bodies to run through at least a magazine
Starting point is 00:18:15 of nine millimeter, which is a magazine of nine miles. Yeah. And this is something we've seen in several cases of police body cam footage on top Wait, wait, whoa Jesus Christ, wait a second Some some guys have run into the machines a magazine of nine millimeter bullets and You can watch some videos of it on police nine millimeter bullets and you can watch some videos of it on police.
Starting point is 00:18:47 I think they mostly die. I think they do too. And I don't I think they stop pretty easily. I think once you give them the first shot, they're probably not going to know. Well, I would like he's like you have that adrenaline and definitely people who are like whether they're they're under the influence of drugs or whatever, or just have this like mass amount of adrenaline, I guess they can probably run through some guns. They can't mount like a chicken with its head cut off.
Starting point is 00:19:11 No, no, no. They would eventually succumb to their injuries. On top of that. A guy with no head, just like a cartoon neck sever, is not sprinting after me with blood spraying out of his neck hole. Speaking of which, Tom, he so he injected it into the side of his penis.
Starting point is 00:19:33 We're not we're not talking about this coming out much later. Tom could he might have a perfectly well working dick by that. We're hoping to find out he said sometime in April and this is coming out sometime in April. Yes. Yeah. We're hoping to find out about his dick. If you don't watch the streams, you're not a patron. Yes. Tom from Tom and Bunny.
Starting point is 00:19:53 We found out he's gone to great lengths to make his dick work. And yes, to answer your question, Oliver. Yes. He injected stuff directly into the side of his dick. But that was not his house with blood spraying. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Like that's the most zombie thing I've ever heard. He hit him fucking vain
Starting point is 00:20:12 and squirted blood all over the place and then I had to go to the doctor. So this guy also says on top of that, they're moving as fast as the human body is physically able to go with almost no sense of stamina. And they also have the ability to infect without being bitten, they also seem to be at least slightly more intelligent than an average zombie. Heading straight for light sources and not really giving up their searches.
Starting point is 00:20:36 Even after a decent amount of time has passed, I think the only real benefits to those types of zombies is that they do die out from hunger and thirst. So it's essentially a waiting game. If you can maintain supplies while being as discreet as possible. So if the 28 days later ones happen, you're probably going to be okay. You know, if you find a safe area and just let them die out because they're not going to be able to figure stuff out. Okay. Now I'm going to make everybody scratch their chins.
Starting point is 00:21:03 Everybody is listening to this and in their car, you might wanna pull over. Okay, you're gonna have to pull over and just think on this for a minute. Any surgeons listening to this on a Beats pill speaker in the operating room? You're all gonna have to calm down. Everybody calm down a little bit.
Starting point is 00:21:25 Even the zombies slow down. A traditional zombie corpse raised by virus is not possible. Okay. An engineered zombie corpse raised by some sort of nano machines is theoretically possible. A zombie like infected living person whose behavior is changed is possible. So have you guys considered nanomachines?
Starting point is 00:21:47 What is that? What is nano just means like all very small? Yeah, so like that's very broad Yeah, they could make some nanomachines that turn us all into zombies. I mean I mean ask Hideo Kojima absolutely. I guess I like listen I don't know I would need some more information on these nanomachines. Oh you don't need any they're very small machines. Yeah no but I would need more information on exactly what it is. You know a machine right say like a simple lever or a car engine. Oh yeah oh yeah yeah yeah. Take that make that very small. You can put it in a
Starting point is 00:22:27 pill and take it. Okay. But but what is it doing? I'm just trying to understand like and again, I probably wouldn't understand whatever it was doing but I would need somebody smarter than me to like understand what it takes a normal person who I hate and turns them into some of the Walking Dead TV show, where I can just kill people, whoever I want. And take somebody you hate and it makes it so you can shoot it in the head.
Starting point is 00:22:56 Yeah, I have a massive arsenal of weapons in my life and I'm very bored. I've probably never going to have a chance to use it. I mean, I do have an awful lot of hand to hand combat weapons in my basement. So, yeah, I mean, guess that'll be kind of cool. I just, listen, I want to believe it just, it seems to me like we would need to, you'd need to scrutinize those nano machines a little more. Yeah. Well, it's this guy's nano.
Starting point is 00:23:18 Yeah. Let's, hey, let's try to get a law pass where they don't let people use nano machines to make people do things. Am I dead? One says some super secret labs out there doing some bad shit. Somebody is going to mess up and something bad will get out when it happens. It's not going to be the zombies we want.
Starting point is 00:23:37 It'll it's not going to be the zombies we want. Of course, it'll be 28 days later style. Stupid government super soldiers are still trying to be made biochemicals nerve Engines good luck gang. I mean they're like David D's 5g Like that's a different type of zombie guy, but that is this one guy. Yeah. Yeah. Well, he thinks you know We're not gonna get the zombies we want and believe me, we all know what kind of zombies we want. The stupid ones. I guess so.
Starting point is 00:24:11 Like, I don't know. Like, you just mean so you can survive, right? Yeah, we want to think about the original horror of the zombie, the original horror of the zombie, like the original whore of the zombie was like the Haitian slave is even after you are dead, you'll still be owned, you'll still have to work. I see there's no rest even for that. So I mean, that's horrifying. They would love the zombie. Yeah. Yeah. So maybe they will. And this last guy says, I fully agree. There's
Starting point is 00:24:43 got to be a lab someplace running 28 days later type experiments on Yeah, if you think there isn't then you're naive I'm a naive person. I don't believe that they're. You don't think Albert Wesker's real and Umbrella Corporation? I think it's real. I think there's a guy working on you'd be naive not to remember all the horrific experiments during World War one and two all the things they test in poor communities unbeknownst to us. Yeah, they said they stopped and
Starting point is 00:25:21 we're just supposed to believe them. So there's that next subject we got here is very important for guys. It's the only guys question, of course, sex with the, and infected. So, no, I've, I have really, I've never, and I've heard a lot about zombies in my life and I've really never heard somebody get horny about them before. I've heard one guy go well. Well, return of Count Jack. Are you talking about Count Jack? You're talking about Count Jack. Oliver, we know this guy named Count
Starting point is 00:25:50 Jackula who is he's like a horny horror guy and he's really wild. He's in the like monsters. He gets horny for them. He gets very horny. He did the top 10 most hot monsters and there were some zombies in there. I mean someone from I don't remember I think Return of the Living Dead, but he was also talking about Godzilla. He was talking about Dracula women, all kinds of stuff. So maybe the cell is there is that a is that a movie that has I remember there was one specifically there was
Starting point is 00:26:26 like a more recent one maybe maybe the one with Natasha Henstridge as well species. Oh, yeah, that was hot. Yeah. So I'm reading a lot of zombie apocalypse books and the current author is focused on sex during apocalypse. So it seems like he's reading from erotica. Where are you reading this? You'd have the crazy people that just become violent and twisted or those that value relationships more. I've been reading about this zombie sex. I just I log on to my Tor browser and then I do, you know.
Starting point is 00:27:00 I mean, there are a lot of zombie romance movies. Yeah, there's warm bodies, which I remember liking a lot of zombie romance movies. Yeah, there's warm bodies, which I remember liking a lot. There's a new one. There's what's it? What's it? Jane Frankenstein, Jill Frankenstein. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, it's pretty good.
Starting point is 00:27:18 It's it's it's what's the person who wrote it? Yeah, that's right. Oh, that's good. So with a lot of nookie and fighting for survival I was wondering what would happen if a man had been bitten and either didn't know say at the beginning of the outbreak break or tried to Oatbrack steakhouse everybody Let them hear it out brah
Starting point is 00:27:40 Just I absolutely pounced on that one That was a good one or tried to hide it as they do. Then had sex with a female and she got her pregnant. Let's say the infected took 24 to 48 hours to turn. Because we gotta do some groundwork. Yeah, let's just make up whatever hypotheticals we want for this scenario, yeah. We only got one answer
Starting point is 00:28:01 because it's an insane question to ask. And he goes, my theory is that it would cause the baby to have a fighting chance at immunity unlikely, but higher than those who weren't. Ah, yeah. It could be like one of those special children. You know what I mean? They always have those in those kinds of movies. Like this is the answer. Um, what's that sweet tooth is a movie that's like our TV show that has that. Um, yeah, that would be good. Yeah. Maybe your baby could be like the chosen one who can save everything.
Starting point is 00:28:30 So we write a porno movie. All the gifts. So that was another reason we can write a porno movie where a guy gets bitten by a zombie. He's got to go around and fuck as many women as he can find to make like babies. Yeah. And to make hybrid babies that could possibly save. So the only way to save that's actually a good idea for a movie for a porno horror movie where he's a zombie. So maybe.
Starting point is 00:29:00 So this next question, I think, is interesting because it's something we should really all be thinking about how Trustworthy and reliable is the doctor from Doctor Who during a zombie apocalypse? I don't know what that's the British show that's been on forever. Yeah, how would the doctor fare in this? I don't even know about Doctor Who I know that guy who played Doctor Who is in this new British show called criminal record that Ariel and I really liked But I just know that they changed the person who's doctor like I don't know about any of the was in this new British show called Criminal Record that Ariel and I really liked. Um, but I, I just know that they changed the person who's doctor. Like,
Starting point is 00:29:27 I don't know about any of the characteristics of doctor. A doctor who was in the new true detective. Yeah. Uh, what's the guy's name? He's in a bunch of stuff. He was in a lot of the Marvel stuff too. The doctor. Yes. Yes. The doctor has been on multiple adventures and has their sonic screwdriver and TARDIS as well to help them out So the question is how would the doctor fare in a zombie apocalypse? How helpful would the doctor be as an ally?
Starting point is 00:29:56 So this person's just like come onto the form is like, okay, so I like two things in the world Okay, so I like two things in the world zombies and doctor who it's only things I know about like and now he's like gotten to the end of like discussing all of them individual and he's like what if we Put them together Well, the first reply has seven down votes. Oh And it's couch tripper and he says zombies are an adult theme. Dr. Who is for children I don't know if it even maybe it is Yeah, he just one quick like
Starting point is 00:30:40 It's a children's show. I don't think it's a children's show. I think it's a show that children could watch. You know, it's kind of, it's a, it's a, it's a family show. Okay. Yeah. It's quarter to set. And the problem is though that zombies are such an adult topic for adults. You know what I mean? It's something we're all talking about all the time. Once we turn 18, it's like zombie, this zombie, that great Scott. One, one, two, three asks anyone wish they could be a zombie. That is what I would call a zombie guy. Yeah. That is really like,
Starting point is 00:31:20 I want to be a zombie. Well, hey, like when that guy plays the, the Capcom fighting game, dark stalkers, I know who he's taking to play as I can't. I've never heard of somebody that wanted to be a zombie, but he goes, this person goes, I love zombies, but nah, I don't want to be one. OP replies and says, why? They're like known as dead and stupid.
Starting point is 00:31:44 Like that's the main thing that they're known as being dead and stupid. Like that's the main thing that they're known as being dead and stupid. Oh, what? You don't want to be a dead fucking moron? Oh, OK. Well, Femrunner says Femrunner 13 says I wouldn't want to be a zombie. I have too many reasons to list. Why not? Yeah, I mean, that's a fair response. You're online. What are you going to do? Like get something else to do?
Starting point is 00:32:08 Yeah, just list them. Actually, this is our last Reddit one. He goes, Yo, what if the robots are the future zombies? Oh, hang on a second to my chin. I just got to get my chin going here. Now I have a question for that poster. What if the robots aren't the zombies, but rather the little robotic devices that these kids are on at the mall or turning them into zombies? I use cell phones. I want to hook this guy up with an expert on nanobots. See if we can
Starting point is 00:32:41 nano machines. You know what I mean? This robot cop a zombie in that. Yeah, oh my God Oliver. Yes is Robo cop a zombie. Let's go to our slash zombies and ask. I don't cop a zombie. Thinking about that person who just said that they could. You could make a zombie with a nano machine. What could that mean?
Starting point is 00:33:08 Hear me out. What if though that would make sense why they would act like that and be hard to stop I can explain all day, but if you just really think about it, it makes sense. Oh, yeah, this one you got to that guy's all-day conference. Yeah, you got to vibe this one really. It's you don't want to get. Yeah, he could explain it until the cows come home. Yeah. And couch tripper, the guy that actually
Starting point is 00:33:29 just got downvoted for saying doctor who is a children's show says, uh, the whole point about zombies is they were human and now they're not. You wouldn't get someone putting their zombie in the mother slash child in a room because they were so attached to them. If it was a robot. slash child in a room because they were so attached to them if it was a robot. So let's move over to quorum point. I don't know. Let's move over to Quora where it's asked, what is your zombie apocalypse emergency plan?
Starting point is 00:33:59 So this is huge. So this is the one I'm really interested in because we've all got our plan. We all know exactly what we're going to do. And it's interesting to sort of, you know, compare it to other people and see where you are at. You know, I can guarantee neither of you have thought of this guy's plan. I don't know. Oliver and I are pretty prepared for the zombie apocalypse. I'm going to tell you right now. He got Doug Ward says, fill my bathtub and anything else that holds water before the water stops
Starting point is 00:34:27 flowing. And I'd board up rushing out. I actually have read the Max Brooks, what it got shitty book. And yeah, that's all he says to fill the bathtub up. And yeah, okay. This person is just going to be saying stuff from that the book 100% I don't know then he goes then I'd board up rushing out for food will make you part of a riot that might get you killed remember What no one will think of pet stores have food and cat food is better for humans than dog food. Ah
Starting point is 00:35:02 Yes The cat food department for me. Nobody's gonna come without wet dog food. Looks pretty good. But the idea of this guy like just getting a little spooked about something, you know what I mean? And there's no apocalypse happening. He's just got all of his shit filled up with water
Starting point is 00:35:30 Eating cat food in the corner while everyone lives a normal life having fancy feast I get the fancy these because I can't eat the the lower quality Cat I have a little crystal dish like that cat in the commercial. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah a fancy feast in a Even out of a cat dish like a cat is why you don't even use a knife and fork. Yeah. What would the average lifespan of a zombie is a question asked on Quora. I think that really depends on the type of zombie.
Starting point is 00:35:57 I can answer that, the answer is 100. Probably. I think it's just, it all depends. If it's one of those 28 days later zombies probably a couple of weeks But you know if we're talking What's that new one the Zack Snyder? She was army of the dead a little bit longer, you know, Courtney said you guys watch that one. Yep Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah would never miss a Zack Snyder. I would never miss a Snyder cut.
Starting point is 00:36:26 Snyder when Snyder puts a film out, I watch. I simply sit down and watch. No, I did. I did watch it. And I thought, again, I found it somewhat entertaining at times, but also I love dog shit. Even I had one of the worst movies that I've seen. I like the team, right, dude. If he's in a movie, I'm dog shit. Even I had one of the worst movies that I've seen. I like the team, right? Dude, if he's in a movie, I'm watching it.
Starting point is 00:36:48 But he's the Blade Runner one. Very watchable. Oh, so you haven't seen the only one that he did that's actually really good. I've seen Dune on an airplane. He's on an airplane. I watch. I'm hoping. I've been saying I hope that I'm flying in a car like next week and I'm like I hope doing twos on the plane. Well, it's not gonna be do the theater in the main main run It's not gonna be there. How sick would it be though? If I go watch dune 2 on an airplane like I watch dune 1 on an airplane And I totally understood what was going on in the movie too. I wasn't confused at all
Starting point is 00:37:24 And I totally understood what was going on in the movie too. I wasn't confused at all Chris goes so for the lifespan he goes as I've mentioned before another post So this guy is all over the place and I do want to say that this guy's Name is sound and light engineer at the villages. So That's that nursing community where a bunch of Trump people are that get herpes from each other. Oh, they did that documentary about how they're all fucking. Yep. My in-laws live there for five years. Oh, I'm sure they did. I mean, yeah, you come from a well-known sexual family.
Starting point is 00:38:01 But that's my wife's family. It's not mine. Yeah. Well, why do we why do we why do we think you married her? I mean, come on. Not for sex reasons. I mean, for some of all the trees like, you know, the leaves kind of smell like come.
Starting point is 00:38:19 Yes. Well, they do actually. We have those trees here. As I've mentioned before in other post, the only zombie apocalypse that I can imagine will be some sort of disease pandemic that left the infected acting like mindless animals. I see that all the time. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:38:33 As far as I'm concerned, if I go to the mall, I see that. And he goes super mutated rabies. In that case, the national guard and perhaps the military could set up quarantine zones and safe zones. There might be a martial law while the situation was being stabilized. Public and private health officials would be tasked with studying the disease, researching a vaccine treatment or cure, if possible. Through strict quarantine and travel restrictions, I believe the disease's spread would be halted
Starting point is 00:39:01 and then you would just have to wait till those infected were treated or die off. The apocalypse might be winding down in two months completely over and twice that. Now I want to say this guy posted this five years ago which is 2019 where he has all the faith in the world that all of these organizations would do the right thing if there's ever a pandemic. Yeah, so good. It was proven correct. This next question on core is our zombies real.
Starting point is 00:39:36 Um, that's actually quite ironic considering, uh, the happenstance of the, uh, uh, 2020. Oh yeah. Yeah. What happened in 2020? Yeah. That interesting. Yeah. Stephen Smith says, well, if by zombie, you mean reanimate a corpse that feeds on brains, then no. However, if you're talking about a horde of decrepit mindless shells moving aimlessly, whose only purpose seems to be destroying society, then yes, except for here in the US, we don't refer to people as zombies, we call them quote, elected officials. Oh, don't do it to him.
Starting point is 00:40:16 Holy fuck, man. I thought he was going to like do the classic one. You know what I mean? Like the millennials or whatever, We call them liberals or whatever, but this motherfucker went straight for the jugular. I was a good one. I, I, I, I definitely love this one. Um, could zombies be exist? Could zombies exist according to science? No. Um, John Yearwood says, of course, zombies are real.
Starting point is 00:40:43 I've met many of them working in various government offices and schools. Holy shit. I'm even elected by other zombies in their effort to destroy life and creativity. Today, one of the best known zombies is serving as a senator from Kentucky. Mitch McConnell. Zombies, by definition, are entities without brains intent on sucking life and intelligence from every other form of life. They exist to destroy souls.
Starting point is 00:41:09 Of course they're real. I see what he's done there. Let's take a look at some book reviews of some books about zombies. Now there is a right wing zombies series called soldier on and it is about a guy named Cade. That's a sick name for a guy who's a lead character in your story. Yeah. Yeah. So his name's Cade and uh, here we go. This book's called soldier on by Sean Chesser. The Colonel is the guy that answers this.
Starting point is 00:41:45 He gives it four stars. OK, and he says inappropriate inclusion of two historical figures. Does he say, oh, yeah. All right, here we go. And my quote retirement after 30 years as a field artilleryman with 13 years overseas, including a combat tour in Vietnam, followed by 13 years as a high artilleryman with 13 years overseas including a combat tour in Vietnam followed by 13 years as a high school history teacher, I have become addicted to apocalyptic novels. The first novel in this series, Trudge, so totally hooked me on this series that I bought
Starting point is 00:42:17 the remainder of the volumes as a Vietnam veteran I appreciated and thoroughly enjoyed the inclusion of the two Vietnam veterans, Dan and Duncan, in a meaningful manner. I completely concurred with the author's statement that Claymore's, the sound meant that things were bad. I was a bit disappointed by the hyperbole in some instances, such as when Colonel Schrill says of the new president, she's going to let us take the gloves off. On the other hand, I appreciated the correct use of the term Manchurian candidate.
Starting point is 00:42:53 I also liked the statement, you could take the man out of the Marines, but the learned skills remain. Once a Marine, always a Marine. Hoorah. The reference to the Twilight Zone was a nice touch for older generation readers. I felt that the editors missed a few errors. Now, here we go. The major criticism I had of this novel was the inclusion of Bush 41 and Bush 43. Okay, so he didn't like the Bush boys.
Starting point is 00:43:22 Okay. I wonder, why was he? Okay, that's here. They're in there. They're part of a guild to divide the US into fiefdoms following the conclusion of the zombie apocalypse. The real goal of the guild is to maintain all their members in the ruling class and establish a permanent lower class.
Starting point is 00:43:40 I recognize that soldier on as a work of fiction, but if the author includes historical fish figures such as the two president Bush's he should do he should do so in a credible manner. I had the pleasure of meeting Papa Bush and he's What so he's mad about the Bush's not being Like and this is a conservative book. Yes Yeah, but probably conservative hates the bushes at this point. You know, yeah. Well, it depends on what if you're if you're a rhino or if you're a you know, it depends. Yeah. Yeah. He
Starting point is 00:44:15 goes. I had the pleasure of meeting Papa Bush and he's one of the most decent men I have ever met. I feel that Bush 41 would be incapable of profiting from such a slaughter. That is an insane thing. He'd be incapable of it. How would he even have anything to do with a slaughter? Do you know what's like? Like that guy was the president, obviously, and he did all kinds of president stuff.
Starting point is 00:44:41 But like me as a dumb guy, the only thing I remember about him is when he was like, remember right before he died, and they were like wheeling him around in that wheelchair, and he was like so out of it, he was just fucking groping people like constantly, and it was like a big problem in his life, and then he died. Like yeah, they were like wheeling him out
Starting point is 00:45:03 to the first pitch of baseball game to look at. Yeah, look like a beanbag chair. Yeah, that's that famous photo of him where he's wheeled out. Yeah, but he was just there was a couple of weeks or a month there where he was just getting wheeled around groping people. Yeah. It's like right before he died. He goes his son baby bush. That's what he calls him Papa Bush and baby bush. That's cute he calls him papa bush and baby bush That's cute his son baby bush also seems to be an honorable christian individual
Starting point is 00:45:30 although Yeah I mean, that's how I would describe them Although the inappropriate inclusion of the two bushes john does to my opinion of soldier on I will continue reading the series I just hope that two bushes do not reappear. I hope they reappear but I don't know. I hope they reappear and they're fucking 69 ing with each other. And this guy just has a fucking absolute no no picture a picture of it to a diagram of how they're 69. I like super realistic.
Starting point is 00:46:06 He's reading this book on an airplane and he just he just like throws it down and he tries to open the emergency like he tries to jump out of the plane. He's ripping pages out of the book. I love calling the bio of the author for this this these books. Okay. And Sean Chester, a practicing father, has been a zombie fanatic for decades. He likes his creatures shambling, trudging, and moaning. As for fast, agile, screaming specimens?
Starting point is 00:46:37 Not so much. Fuck, I hate that. So that's like inside zombie shit where he's like, he's talking about how he likes a particular type of zombie. He doesn't like the 28 days. Let it. Yeah, there's a lot of controversy about that. Actually, in the community. A practicing father, though. That's kind of funny. Yeah, that's cool, man. Because like, you know, I have a dad. So I'm a dad. So I'm actually doing the job is what that sounds like he's saying. Like, so I went to Max Brooks, Mel Brooks, his son who wrote a couple zombie books, he wrote World War Z and oral history of the zombie war, which is a book that I've read the book, actually. I know, surprise.
Starting point is 00:47:19 Read it as well. Yeah. Yeah. I saw the movie with Brad Pitt. Is that based on that? Yeah, and I saw the movie with Brad Pitt. Is that based on that it is but it's not The book is like I read it. I read it in like 2013 or whenever like like at a time when zombie stuff like right before the movie came out and stuff like that so at a time when zombie stuff was like a big thing and I thought it was really cool because it's like Like they said it's an oral history. So it's stories of like interviews with people who made it through the apocalypse and stuff. So they pretend that it's like a
Starting point is 00:47:52 real thing. And it's not like kind of a little bit racist a little bit. Yeah, a few times. So let's look at a one star review from James H. Bosch Smith from third He says a good idea worst execution ever In between the words he did that's why I read it good idea worst Execution ever he didn't want but one be doing good an idea worst execution ever. He didn't want but one be doing good an idea. He gave him the chopper. Yeah. Yeah. He's got full ponytail. This guy full ponytail at last a book for those who feel that
Starting point is 00:48:35 the living dead rising from the grave to devour and destroy the living will obviously will usher in an era of leftist progressive utopia. So what? No, really zombies attacking worldwide would obviously solve the Israeli Palestinian problem by producing a viable two state solution. Right. I think we could all see that one coming from a few miles out. And that's just the tip of the iceberg as the world degenerates into a nonstop fit of inexplicable unrealistic in the face of zombie rising just plain silly behavior so he's saying that the way that people act in the book is unrealistic for a zombie apocalypse which like actually didn't happen
Starting point is 00:49:20 world war z consistently derails itself by losing focus on the issue at hand to go off on some snide political aside, both large and small. As another reviewer already noted, we are told that the last brush fire for which, read Iraq, left the US too war weary to do anything but roll over and play dead when the undead hopped up intent on brain eating. We're also told that the military cannot fill its ranks because too many veterans were bitter about having to serve in said brush fryer, never mind the US military actually having little problem meeting recruiting goals, and are somehow given to the understanding that a draft would
Starting point is 00:50:00 not be instituted in any case. Buddy, you are like talking so far this person is talking like serious like foreign policy stuff like all that like it's just it's it's it's make it it's made up yeah because the gentle but i hate this line but gentle reader have no fear in the power vacuum of poor war-weary Americans steps the United Nations, ironic for an organization whose main claim to fame has been enabling genocide in places like Rwanda, the Sudan, and the Balkans. We're given to understand the UN successfully leads the charge to fend off the zombie hordes. It's fake. This is like guys that talk about wrestling,
Starting point is 00:50:47 like that are like, ah, it just wouldn't happen that way. And it's like it's fake. Yeah, it wouldn't happen. It's all fake. Everything's fake. In summary, this book is $20 and several hours of my life. I'm never going to get back. Apparently for readers who have not suffered enough on the reading, expect a big budget movie version sometime soon.
Starting point is 00:51:05 So you could get some of the money back if you resold the book. That's true. That is true. I mean, the time you can never get back, but you get some of the money. Yeah, yeah. It's got Brad Arm pit in the movie and he saw I stole that insult from a spinny from Kenny versus Spinney. Oh, I recently got into a huge fight with him. Is he conservative guy now? Oh, no, he's I mean, I don't know about conservative or anti trans.
Starting point is 00:51:35 You know, Zionist is a Zionist. Oh, yeah, those that happens. Great F. Really, if you're thinking about reading this book, save yourself the pain and just go watch Romero movies or something which if I'm not mistaken a Lot of those have leftist themes too Is that I don't know where he that's is that like the night of living dead and stuff or what? Yeah, yeah and dawn of the dead which is set at the mall with the consumer, you know
Starting point is 00:52:02 I've only seen the dawn of the Dead Snyder version. Oh, that one's good. I love that one. That one's real good. Oh yeah, Snyder knows how to bring it, baby. But then people are gonna, this show's gonna come out in April and people are gonna be like,
Starting point is 00:52:16 since when do you guys love Snyder? Yeah, and we're gonna forget that we even said it. We're gonna be like, what are you talking, that happened so much on the podcast where somebody will post something and they're like, what the fuck was this? And I don much on the podcast where somebody will post something that are like, what the fuck was this? And I don't remember saying it at all because we record so far in advance. It's funny because you're saying stuff you don't have a huge amount of stuff
Starting point is 00:52:33 is going to happen. We don't know about like our dicks are deaf. Like every person's dick is definitely not going to fall off from some weird storm. Yeah. And then all of a sudden, yeah, no shit. Yeah, I know a guy talking about how funny it is is like the idea of someone's penis falling off in a storm like we're like laughing so much about it that it turns out everyone's penis falls off in the sky. I know a guy that can get that fixed for you. You just gotta you just gotta have a good relationship with your urologist.
Starting point is 00:53:00 Well, yeah, and you need to be able to get that nano machines those nano machines that sort of technology This guy says awful. This is a great review and has everything I love in it good grief Take you to name this book World War Z Z Z Z Z Z Fuck yeah, I'm sorry, but when you name your book World War Z, you're opening yourself up for that insult more Z, you're opening yourself up for that insult. I've never tried to read such a boring book in all my life. How can so many people love this book? It's dry as dust. Each character has the same voice.
Starting point is 00:53:34 They're all the author. Well, hang on. Are you just like reading them all in the same voice? Like, I know you I know he's like he means like, you know, like the voice like in a different way, but he's just saying hello, Willie. Well, hello, Larry. In a death of the author situation, we're talking about a zombie author.
Starting point is 00:53:59 They don't vary in feelings or emotions. It's as if one person wrote every entry because they did. Well, one person wrote all of the entries, which I guess is true. The author wasn't any good at creating individual voices. Even when their entries start to be somewhat interesting, they end and you start another. The author, while having a fun book idea,
Starting point is 00:54:20 fun idea for a book failed miserably in its expression. I would never recommend this book to anyone. A dictionary has more depth and feeling than this thing. A dictionary would at least teach you something. I could not even get halfway through this book. It was so you didn't finish it. You didn't get halfway. But wait a second.
Starting point is 00:54:42 I would say if you're going to critique a story, short book, by the way, you have to get to the end of it because it's like you could say, hey, I'm not digging this or whatever, but you can't give like a proper critique of a story that you have not finished. Well, she goes, I could not even get halfway through this book. It was torture. Save yourself some precious time and skip this one. Rent the movie and move on.
Starting point is 00:55:05 Time is irreplaceable. Don't waste it on this dribble. So trying to help. This person says not impressed. Being a child of the 70s, I'm a fan of horror movies and zombie flicks in particular. Romero is responsible for several morning sheet changing from my room. What?
Starting point is 00:55:23 You pissed your pants? I think he pissed his pants. He got so scared that he pissed his pants? Got so scared. Now that I'm a grown and have better bladder control, I love zombies. I adore, yeah, now that I don't piss my pants every time I see zombies, I love them.
Starting point is 00:55:40 Z-Z-Z-Zombie. Yes, we're spying. That's a different thing, I think. You know what I mean? Like I don't think you piss your bed because you're scared or whatever. I think it's a different psychological thing. To adore it. However, I find it lacking in substance. The interviews are too short to give a real glimpse into the stories of the outbreak.
Starting point is 00:55:59 I found myself forcing myself to continue reading. Not zombies? Yeah, I couldn't get into it as hard as I tried. I admire the concept, but the product reads choppily. The writing is sophomoric at best. Sorry, but that's just truly how I feel about it. Your mileage may vary. Sorry.
Starting point is 00:56:19 This person says perversion of politics wrapped in zombie gift wrap. Nothing zombie about this book. Boring. Don't give me war when I ask for horror. Boring. Not able to distinguish one narrative from the next without having to work extra hard. By the end of the book I asked myself how I will get this time back I wasted. Oh and there are no zombies in it. Just disgruntled survivors discussing the perversion of politics wrapped in a zombie package. So I decided to look at the reviews for the Walking Dead season one.
Starting point is 00:56:54 Okay, I've never seen this program before. I know that it's very popular, but I've never watched any of it at all. So I have seen five seasons, I think. I got to the one where they kill the the guy with the bat. I watched the first season in its totality and I have not seen it. There's a new there's a bunch of spin off. I know a new spin off just came out like in the last couple of days when we're recording a movie and a new spin off came out. Yeah, there's
Starting point is 00:57:21 been a lot of this person says the series is overly contrived with boring drama and unrealistic violence. unrealistic violence. No, not in a zombie film. I mean, come on, it's got to be realistic. Against the backdrop and this is a four star review. Against the backdrop of blood and gore are multifaceted characters from all walks of life. This apocalyptic show leaves cliches at the door of the writing room, leave only a heart pumping, eye popping story for the ages.
Starting point is 00:57:54 I love how they use a cliche to say that they don't use cliches. You know, like these writers, you leave the cliches at the door of the writers room. Like they actually use the cliche in saying that. This four star review goes, the Walking Dead is a very interesting show. It's always full of thrills and the audience never knows what is next. This is not, this is AI or something. This was done in 2016. This review.
Starting point is 00:58:22 So this is not AI. This is a real human. Can you start it again? And this is a real human. Remember when you're listening to AI. This is a real human. Can you start it again? And this is a real human. Remember, when you're listening to this, this is a real human being saying this. The Walking Dead is a very interesting show. It's always full of thrills and the audience never knows what is next. The constant threat of someone being attacked by a zombie can really
Starting point is 00:58:42 keep people on the edges of their seats. Each cast member plays an important role. No, come on. Each cast member plays an important role. It takes a show batter. And you never know when the next one will end up being killed. I think the show is very good and has a good storyline to it. So that's a very good review.
Starting point is 00:59:13 Comes to hamburgers. The bone is the key. The bone is delicious. And what you want to do is between those buns, you got to have a piece of meat. Let's take a look at Max Brooks's book, the Zombie Survival Guide. So this is the one. This is the one that everyone goes to.
Starting point is 00:59:29 Did you boys ever read any of the Walking Dead comic book? No. I've watched so many comic books. Yeah, I've never. It was a pretty fucking, like at the beginning of it, it was a pretty great comic book. Yeah, I know Tony, the dude who wrote it, the guy bullshitted with him, he's a good dude. And like the original concept of it
Starting point is 00:59:48 was what if like, like at the end of a zombie movie, it's always like, you know, the future stretches onward. What's going to happen. Yeah. And that's what if a zombie movie just never ended and we know, we know now it just, it just the same shit just forever. Yeah. It just keeps doing this. All the same stuff just keeps happening over and over again. That's what I got to stop.
Starting point is 01:00:13 I was like, I am done with this fucking show. Hyena 106 says one star let down. Well, I'm not surprised. The majority of the people gave this a four and five star rating. The majority of Americans are just plain dumb. This book is like the ratings of a rantings of a prepubescent kid who just saw his first zombie movie and feels it's his duty to educate the masses. Pretty much like the other one star reviewers have said, boring, not funny, not entertaining, not enough detail. I stopped reading when it
Starting point is 01:00:43 got to the underwater zombie fighting, which of all things, he felt it deserved 10 pages to explain. Bottom line. What? Hold on, really? I mean, he's got to take some pages to do some things. Bottom line, if you can think for yourself, take an hour and jot down a few ideas of what you would do in a zombie apocalypse or any
Starting point is 01:01:05 other epidemic and you just saved yourself 10 bucks. Michael Sfejchenko says this book is the absolute closest to being excrement that is possible. I believe that the author should undergo a psychiatric assessment immediately. Well, I mean, did you think about what his childhood must have been like? Yeah. Well, it's not. Well, I. That's a little more J. Lewis. Oh, yeah, you're right.
Starting point is 01:01:38 You're right. You're right. You're right. Amazon should at least place a warning upon it. It is presented as authentic, but is clearly fictitious. Well, no, it's not. No. This guy, I think the interesting thing about this is- I tried to survive some zombies and it didn't work. Yeah, well, this guy tried to buy a zombie survival guide.
Starting point is 01:02:01 A real one. A real one. In case zombies happen. Yeah. And it was mad because it was fictional. We got one more little thing to do here and that is the reviews of a movie. We've heard come up a bunch in this episode and that's 28 days later. And I didn't shitty. I hate those zombies in that. Yeah. I mean, those aren't the ones you want. Sure. You want the ones from The Walking Dead?
Starting point is 01:02:26 Daniel Elliott says The reviews I read for this movie before deciding to watch it made it seem amazing People talk about it like it'll have you on the edge of your seat with thrills and terror, but not me now. I want to say And and Chris you're about to have a kid but when you have a kid and 14 13 14 maybe 12 and they watch a horror movie the first time the first thing they tell you is it didn't scare me I wouldn't scare always yeah because they're trying to prove that they're old enough to have watched you know so when an
Starting point is 01:03:03 adult adults yeah so when an adult with adults, yeah, so when an adult says I Watch I wasn't even scared. I wasn't scared the whole movie. Yeah There was they're fucking terrified. I wasn't on the edge of my seat and there was no thrills and no chills And that sucks He goes I chose this flick because I was looking for something that would scare the daylights out of me and I must say I was extremely disappointed. This is an adult. I can see it's a picture of him and his son in the picture for the Google. This is I don't want to I don't want to.
Starting point is 01:03:36 Yeah, I don't want to like be disrespectful to people who are listening maybe. But like I don't think when you're an adult, you should be it. It shouldn't be possible for you should be at each. It shouldn't be possible for you to be scared by zombies. I like a real I would like to be disrespectful to the people listening real quick. Screw you. My ball. Fuck you. I mean, honestly, though, like you're 30 something years old and you're like actually afraid of zombies. I don't know, man. I like I maybe that's I'm being, you know, ignorant here myself, but like I can, I can't be scared by stuff that is so obviously fake. Yeah. No, I,
Starting point is 01:04:13 I, I always say like, uh, my brother won't watch movies where there's like anybody in peril. Basically. Yeah. I remember you said that. It's explained. Yeah. And like, so he didn't watch the first John Wick for a really long time because he felt bad about the wife getting killed. The Adventures of Milo and Otis. He has and that one he's kind of bummed out because it happened. No, I'm kidding. I mean, he just doesn't like any tension in.
Starting point is 01:04:41 Oh, that's good. Yeah. Movies. I don't like like what's like, what's the kid? Like for example, what's the movie he likes? What'd you say? Oh, I mean, he likes a lot of the action movies, but so he likes, he likes the Fast and Furious movies, right? Because there's never a moment in the Fast and the Furious movies
Starting point is 01:05:01 where you feel like anything bad can happen. It's kind of like me and Chris watch Reacher Reacher. Yeah. Does he like Reacher? He hasn't started it yet. Oh, he would love it because yeah, there's no no chance and anything bad will happen to reach her after he'll always just like it's about a big it's about a big boy, right? Oh, Oliver, it's about this big guy who he's like a military police guy, but he just wanders around the country and he just fucking kills people, man. It's the smartest person in any way. He's somehow he's this big muscular, like football player, look at dude, but he's also
Starting point is 01:05:34 like so much smarter than everybody. And he's like, intuition is like shockingly good. And it's just like, so like, there's part of me that's like, okay, there are people who don't like to have bad feelings when they watch a movie. I am a person that trusts in most movies that I watch most. I watch a lot of stupid action movies. I trust that in the end, everybody gets what's coming to them. And, you know, the good guy walks away. So I, it doesn't, I don't feel nervous. I always tell him, I was like, you know, when,
Starting point is 01:06:12 when the kids in danger in a movie, that kid's an actor and they're not really in danger and not even for one minute are they ever in danger? And you should make that like, he shouldn't watch the Twilight Zone film. Yeah. There you go. I knew you were going to be all over that. I saw you too. We reached over Brian and we did a little high five. Yeah, we do. You should tell your brother, if he doesn't like tension, though, it's my favorite movie of all time, has zero tension in it whatsoever, is Patterson. The movie Patterson is like the most relaxing with zero zero conflict
Starting point is 01:06:49 in that movie at all. Yeah, cuz he got really nervous about the train video of the the one where all the people thought it was gonna really come out of the screen. In the shadow of Kilimanjaro. I don't know that because it's genuinely terrifying. Oh, he would never be menaced by roving bands of baboons. Wouldn't watch Nightmare on Elm Street or not. He wouldn't watch the Friday the 13th movies, which I have to say are the least scary thing you could ever watch. So anyway, this guy goes the scariest part of the whole film was probably in the
Starting point is 01:07:24 beginning when he sets off a car alarm on accident. The acting was okay at best. The plot seems to have little to no direction. Maybe it's because this film hasn't aged well, or maybe it's just because I simply didn't find any part of the movie to be engaging or thrilling at all. Wait, so he, cause that leads me to believe that this guy is a really has a baby brain because he's, he's only looking for jump scares. Like he's saying the only scary part was when the car alarm went off, like the same thing that could happen to you in real life where the loud noise happens. It's to be surprised. Yeah. He likes to be startled. That's scary
Starting point is 01:07:59 though. That's really scary when that happens. It happens in my neighborhood a lot because I live like, you know, in the city. He goes, maybe it's because this film hasn't, oh, okay, the movie actually seemed to get more boring as it went on with me constantly checking the time, hoping it was almost over. If you're looking for a movie that will actually scare you, then look somewhere else
Starting point is 01:08:20 because this film just doesn't do it. So this is our last review. It's a four star review. Shola says it's a great movie with good acting and a good plot. It would net it would have have however felt more realistic and logical. If the zombies quote, and parentheses which are dead, would walk instead of run. It would be a lot more realistic if the zombies didn't run in the movie. So this is that is a zombie purist. That's like an old school zombie person.
Starting point is 01:08:54 I got a pop quiz for you boys. OK, quick pop quiz. What would the favorite zombie movie of your standard chive guy be? Oh, I think the chive guys would probably go with Snyder's Daughter of the Dead like we did. No, actually, there's there's a right answer to this question. What is it? A little movie called Zombieland. Oh, of course. It is a such a chive movie. Yes, Oliver. Yes. Bill, a freaking Murray.
Starting point is 01:09:26 Buddy has a zombie. Oh, oh, yeah. And they probably would like the dead don't die as well. That horrible job. That's, that's one of the worst films I've ever seen. And I like Jim, it's kind of a boring flick. It was pop. Yeah, it was it was just wild. And then I hate when they break the fourth wall in a movie in that sort of place. Like Adam Driver saying ghouls funny was pretty good. That was it. Yeah, it was like Liz.
Starting point is 01:09:53 I didn't walk out of it or but they would probably like that on the chive just because it has Bill Murray. There weren't any thrills. There weren't many thrills or chills in it, though. No, no, no. I me on the edge of my seat. I wasn't scared at all. I wasn't scared at all. Yeah, it was.
Starting point is 01:10:07 Let me think. Good zombie movie. What's like the good zombie movie? The good one is Dawn of the Dead by Zack Snyder. Oh yeah. I think it's the Snyder cut of Dawn of the Dead. Those guys would love Shaun of the Dead. Oh yes, of course.
Starting point is 01:10:21 Yeah, well that's okay. I mean those- Shaun of the Dead would be Chivers too, because it's in the era of when they still are stuck in. I'm sure there's some shirts in the Chivery too. There's got to be some Shaun of the Dead shirts in the Chivery, which we're going to look at. Well, this is too late.
Starting point is 01:10:39 Anyway, so it would also have been more realistic and logical if the transitioning period from human to zombie was more than 10 to 20 seconds, because shouldn't the virus actually work its way through your body? All in all, however, 28 Days Later is a great movie that keeps you on your toes. Yeah, it keeps you on your toes
Starting point is 01:10:57 because you're not on the edge of your seat, because you're standing up and you're not even scared at all. I like that, because you're standing, you're not even scared even for a second, not even scared enough to sit down. Yeah, tone out to get a little another beverage because everybody else is asleep because they're sleeping. They're sleeping. They're not having nightmares either at night because they're not scared of it at all.
Starting point is 01:11:19 I'm telling their lives. I'm not the one. We are. Yep. They haven't pissed the bed either, so that's I didn't piss the bed last night after watching. Yeah, this is scary. I woke up with fully dry sheet. That is zombie guys. Oliver tell people where to find you. I'm around, you know.
Starting point is 01:11:43 It's butchering look atchery. Look at the thing. Look at the room and also also look up Oliver Leach. I'll look up his photo all in the Oliver Leach dot com. You can go look Oliver Leach dot com. I have a beautiful print of Oliver's. It's up in my studio. Got to go. I think if you guys have had one, he really has serious. I've been like fucking editing about the finally. Yeah, it's it's really
Starting point is 01:12:06 really beautiful. Wonderful art that he makes. So yeah, go check that out for sure. And yeah, so it's all in the notes because I already did the notes because I'm and guess what? I'm a dead guy. I'm a zombie and I'm walking around and stuff. Oh, okay, now we got to do something. How fast are you walking? We got to add this. How fast are you walking? Real quick. Really fast or really slow? Kind of slow. Okay, so it's more realistic. We'll see y'all next week with thanks for don't even see it. Okay. Goodbye. Bye. Keep calm.
