Starting point is 00:00:00 pkn 238 uh we all have topics we're excited to talk about what are we leading with let's see with kyle's not hockey yeah yeah yeah halo the master chief special edition uh which has you know the all the games and the first three games i'm sure is coming to pc and this is all the good news all the good ones the all the all the ones that I personally care about are coming to PC. I'm sure they're remastered and they're all HD and really, really sexy looking. So Halo was big. I didn't really get back into video. I was going to school.
Starting point is 00:00:34 All I did was work in school when Halo was like at its prime. Is it the sort of thing where one and two are kind of dead games because three is the one to rule them all? Well, it's about the campaign. It's not about the multiplayer at all. It's about the campaign, 100%. And I'm really excited it's coming back because we were already planning on doing a Master Chief special edition playthrough on console. And I was like, ah, I guess i'll buy the xbox one uh x because they were they were i was like oh well the xbox one is is will it cut it and they were like oh yeah oh yeah it'll
Starting point is 00:01:13 cut it but i was like but would it be better on an xbox one x and they're like oh yeah yeah we're playing on xbox one x's so we could have 4k and i I'm like, ah! So you were going to buy an Xbox One X just for that? But not now. Because now it's coming to PC soon enough. I know that Chiz and I are going to be part of the group. Is it campaign? Is it multiplayer I mean to say?
Starting point is 00:01:37 You make it seem like it's multiplayer. Well, it's a co-op campaign. Yeah, isn't it four people or two people? It's four people. Yeah, it's a co-op campaign. Yeah, isn't it four people or two people? It's four people. Four people. Yeah, it's a co-op campaign. What happens if you have two? I'm about to play with Colin.
Starting point is 00:01:51 You got me excited. I'm pretty sure you can do it with two. I think they just reduce the relative number of enemies. You just don't have as many baddies to fight against. Dude, it's so epic. It's my favorite campaign of any game ever. I love it. I love the story.
Starting point is 00:02:03 Yeah, I spent more time in the Halo campaigns than any other video game campaign, and I'm not even a campaign player. I think it was Halo 2 I liked the most, their campaign. But Halo 2, they're all good. They're all good. The thing about Halo 1 is the reason I didn't go back and replay it so much is because it didn't look great. But if they're remastering this thing
Starting point is 00:02:19 and sticking it on the PC, then I bet it looks great. Timeline? What do we know? Oh, yeah, I've the reddit article open now i don't see them talking about the actual timeline when i'm sure soon you know they've got like a video here showing it off and everything but but i don't know when it's going to be it says it came out 2014 oh that's the not 4K one, I guess, right? Well, it's the not PC one. That's the thing. It's not on the PC.
Starting point is 00:02:48 Call me crazy. It's been on the PC for what? Because you know Halo's been on the PC before, I'm sure. You probably know this better than me. Yeah, I want to say the multiplayer was available, certainly in the first one, in Combat Evolved. But I don't know much about Halo on the PC say like the multiplayer was available certainly in in the first one in combat evolved but uh i don't know much about um uh halo on the pc because i was always on console during that generation of
Starting point is 00:03:11 gaming um but i i think the main thing for me personally that i'm sure about is that this is the master chief edition the one where they remaster all three of these games and update the graphics so everything will be in i don't know in my case it'll be in 1440 more questions so after was there a halo 4 there was a halo odst which was a campaign and people didn't love it yeah uh there was another one completes a trilogy uh the other games have like other stories and other background stuff and some other shit, but I'm more interested in the stuff that Bungie Studios did, which is 1 through 3, which is like a compact, complete trilogy.
Starting point is 00:03:53 The other games, to me, are kind of like The Hobbit compared with The Lord of the Rings. They're just lesser experiences from the same universe. Which one was Blood Gulch? Was that the first one? Blood Gulch appeared in a couple of the games. I want to say Blood Gulch was probably in Combat Evolved, the first one, and maybe the second one, and maybe the third one too.
Starting point is 00:04:15 That was one of those iconic maps that they definitely brought back. That one was great. Just barreling over the hills against your shitty friends, just running into them with the Warthog. I loved Valhalla. The best gun in that game, or my favorite
Starting point is 00:04:28 was the pistol that inexplicably would zoom in really far and you could cap people with this little pistol. Yeah, the Magnum is incredible. Yeah. I used to watch a ton of... Snipping satisfying in that game. This is making me want to play Halo again. I used to watch a ton of Walshie when he would
Starting point is 00:04:43 play Halo 2. He was to watch a ton of Walshie when he would play Halo 2. He was like one of the high-end, like certainly on YouTube. And I think in the pro scene, he was one of the best of the best. And, you know, he could take advantage of all of the, I don't know what you would call them, but there were button combinations in Halo 2 that allowed you to do things that you weren't maybe supposed to be able to do in multiplayer, things like the BXR,
Starting point is 00:05:04 which is exactly what it sounds like. It's pressing B, X, and R, and it's a melee, a cancel of the melee animation, and then a quick shot. And so you would melee, knock the shield off a character, cancel the animation with X, and then R, which is right trigger, and shoot the guy in the head, and you'd insta-kill somebody. But then there's also things like the double shot and the quad shot and i went back and watched some of those uh montages of his the other day and you know my br goes his goes
Starting point is 00:05:34 because he's just fucking like operating that controller so ridiculous there has to be a cheat controller for that i might have been but you know he's playing at lands and shit with standard equipment you know right i wasn't accusing him i would just i yeah oh there probably was you know maybe maybe it used to be a thing like even in kai i had one yeah i had one for mad cats yeah yeah i bought a modded controller for cod 4 uh like like maybe in like the second year of that game. There's a little button on the back you could press with your middle finger or ring finger to turn it on.
Starting point is 00:06:11 And then the right trigger was basically rapid fire now. So things like the Desert Eagle or the G3, which were semi-automatic high-damage weapons, became fully automatic high-damage. G36 or G3? G36 was already automatic. Yeah, the G3 you could that was the most obvious hack when people would kill you with the g3 and it was
Starting point is 00:06:32 you'd be like you just the game doesn't even it's not made for that fact the trick is compress and decompress you guys ever get caught like because they put in like anti-modic controller stuff in there did you guys ever get caught being too good naturally oh no not even oh yeah neither for sure you did get caught naturally well being caught basically means that it limits your rate of fire like yeah the fix was to lower the rate of fire and i can absolute i could and can absolutely pull the trigger on a controller faster than they would allow me to press the trigger on guns like the g3 and the desert eagle it was pretty lame that they lowered it that low but i guess it was it made it fair it made me never use the g3 again i feel like maybe i could or at least
Starting point is 00:07:14 prime woody could but it never happened to me in game like i wasn't just running around using the g3 getting limited or anything not that i noticed yeah yeah and it's it wasn't obvious you could just feel it it It was sort of a feel thing. It's like, you know, you're going this fast and it's not. You know, you can just feel it. You know what would feel really good right now?
Starting point is 00:07:36 Be playing COD 4 posted up in that little corner of Bog where you can oversee the B flag with an RPK front grip. Oh, that was so much fun. You didn't do it. They remastered that shit. There's people playing it right now. You know where all those shipping containers
Starting point is 00:07:51 are? By the bus. Where you run from the bus side towards that building on the left, but before you go into it where it's just grenade heaven, you kind of post up just right out of the angle of that. You can still die from grenades, but it's bog. You're going to die from five grenades. They were like just grenade heaven you kind of post up just right out of the angle of that and then you you know you can still die from grenades but it's bog you're gonna die from five grenades you know it's gonna
Starting point is 00:08:08 be a lot of good they were like there were a lot of good places it was uh it was a lot of fun and you know they remastered that shit like two years ago you could play that right i was thinking i played a ton of it when i remastered yeah i didn't i don't know i thought i was going to and i just i think i might have been minecrafting at the time and just spending all my time on that i played it for a few months and then PUBG may have come out or something like that. We switched over to that. But I think
Starting point is 00:08:32 someone told me they added weapons to the game. They added new weapons into COD 4 essentially. Into Remastered? Yeah. I didn't know that. I don't know how I feel about that. I don't like change. I was watching Wings play COD 4 not too long ago. It took me a moment to recognize.
Starting point is 00:08:48 He was playing Overgrown. I'm like, what is this? Oh, I get it. Yeah. I think they might have... Did there used to be two holes on the wall that led from the farmhouses to that area next to where B-Dom would be? One had planks and shit over it.
Starting point is 00:09:03 I'm like, is that original? I don't know. You could run out of the busted side wall or out of that the two hallway entries, I think. Yeah, I don't think they changed any of the mechanics of that map. That was a big thing for me at the time, I remember,
Starting point is 00:09:18 because I was like, are they going to try to fuck around with our shit here? Maps like Bog are historically unbalanced, and that's what we want okay like like don't come in here and you know that uh that autistic guy that they flew above new york once like yeah i just drew it out that's how i feel i am with every map in cod 4 like imagine the things i could remember if i didn't have to remember grenade spots on showdown coming from a side something about i might know how to do algebra i played cod 4 and didn't get
Starting point is 00:09:51 into world at war like i don't know if i'm even i think i might be first prestige in world at war and uh um so i just never put time into it that meant i had like more than a year in cod and i just learned it yeah it's pretty confident we all did i think i played like maybe six weeks of world at war trying to like it and i just went right back to cod 4 like it just straight up wasn't as good back in the cod 4 days sorry back in the cod 4 days not everyone will play with a headset right so dead silence it was like a huge advantage you ran dead silence and had a headset you're like echo locating like a bat everyone everywhere and search and destroy i could even do um people who also had dead signs you could hear them just subtly unless they crouch walk but no
Starting point is 00:10:37 one did that and so it was huge i go to world at war and oh my god it's like jingle bells with all this i can't hear anything over myself it was yep yeah like your canteen and shit like when you were using non if you were using dead silence and you had a headset on and somebody didn't they could be 50 yards away and it sounded like someone was eating doritos in your ear you'd be like oh i know i know exactly where this guy is jangling about the footsteps were different if they were like walking through grass or across a wooden plank or over and so that was like an extra hint they never did footsteps as well as they did in cod four and it has to be on purpose oh it has to be on purpose that they did them so badly in every single game since then that's why i love pope g so much when it came out. It was like, oh wait, this works again?
Starting point is 00:11:27 You're just a sound whore. You're just someone who plays the game with equipment provided. Are you using all your senses? I don't care for that. I like to play music in the background. Come on, we know it was a huge advantage that the 12-year-old was able to do it too. They could have got some cheap
Starting point is 00:11:44 ass turtle beaches. I believe the people I could have got some cheap-ass turtle beaches. I believe the people I'm playing against didn't earn their own money. Save up your allowance. Get yourself your turtle beaches so Kyle doesn't keep butt-fucking you. You know, I didn't eat through high school, so I could pocket my own lunch money. Did you try that? A couple months of no lunch, and not only will you be slimmer, Tommy, but you'll be able to play COD. Yes.
Starting point is 00:12:07 So, yeah, COD 4 was fun. COD 4 or Halo. Back on the Halo thing, I don't even know the Halo campaigns. Oh, it's the best. I'm told, yeah. Kyle's description of how excited he would be when trailers came out and things like that make me want to do that. And by the way, when I see a parent
Starting point is 00:12:28 not exposing their kid to Star Wars or something, that is obviously some sort of neglect or abuse. That is what I have done to my son with lack of Halo background. So I need to remedy that. I still remember Halo was the very first video game that there used to be commercials for video games on TV and it'd be like call of duty two coming July,
Starting point is 00:12:50 2005 or whatever. But when like the Halo commercial came out, it was like, that was like, it gave me chills and watching it on TV. I was like, this is like, I'm more excited for this than I've ever been for any movie that I don't
Starting point is 00:13:04 know what that guy's story is, but he's cool. He spartan you know the the epic walkouts the big you know jumping and landing with the cataclysmic force it's such a big story he's got so much on his he's such a chill guy character for one thing like he never gets scared you know he's never stressed he's the last he's never stressed like like shit will be be insane. He'll literally have to fly from orbit and crash land in his suit. Not in a plane. He'll just be like,
Starting point is 00:13:34 it's not made for that. He'll just have to hit the ground real hard. They're all standing around like, you think he's alive in there? I don't know. Maybe we should crack him open. They just kind of stand around. Even everybody else on his team is like, even with all these high-tech machineries,
Starting point is 00:13:50 if that guy dies, we're fucked. Yeah. This guy has to survive. I know I've asked this before, but I don't remember things. He has dialogue, Master Chief? He talks? Yeah, plenty. Okay.
Starting point is 00:14:05 I kind of picked up in ODST land, I think. Master Chief isn't even in it, I don't think. You're playing something lesser. Master Chief is an iconic character. They made these Spartan warriors, these children that they picked the best of the best children.
Starting point is 00:14:21 And they were like, this child could be a super soldier. They picked hundreds of them. Why don't we do that? Carry on. And they were like, this child could be a super soldier. They picked hundreds of them. Why don't we do that? Carry on. And they went through this, not just from Earth, but from all of the human colonies, right? And they replaced those kids with clones that were going to get cancer and die in a couple of years. The shitty clones.
Starting point is 00:14:41 Yeah, they don't have the capacity to make you up. They couldn't even give them a non-cancerous clone that's like 16% worse? It's not a forever clone. It's like, they won't notice the kidnapping until it's far too late. And the parents don't know. The parents have no idea. This is all built into the storyline? Like, they tell you this?
Starting point is 00:15:00 Yeah. Okay. And little bits of what I'm going through now have been picked up through time. But like the main scientist, this lady, she is what Cortana is based on, the AI who's with Master Chief all the time. She is based mostly upon that lady scientist who did all this research and work. And so they kidnap all these kids. They bring them back to earth. They train them up hardcore from, from birth, you know, tactics and, and,
Starting point is 00:15:29 and, uh, and military procedure and stuff and making them super soldiers. And then when they're like, I don't know, 15, 16, 17, they go through this like surgical augmentation, not where they're injected with all of this DNA-altering virus, and their bones are augmented, and they go through this crazy surgical procedure that's almost like what happens to Wolverine. I was going to say a cross between Captain America and Wolverine. It's a cross between what they do to Captain America
Starting point is 00:15:57 and what they do to Wolverine. And only like 30% of them die or something like that. And she's just like, oh, my God. She's looking at this big board of everything, like one third of the boxes turning red and she's like that's that's a third of them fucking dead and you know master chief is the best of the best even then and and when we pick up in halo one there have been many wars human versus human wars and stuff like that and they're all dead they're all dead. They're all dead.
Starting point is 00:16:28 No Spartan is left except for one. The greatest of them all is left. And he's like this, like ace in the hole Trump card that remains from the old times when we had enough resources to build a mega man. And not only is he a mega man, but he's in this like one ton suit that makes him an Uber mega man. Right. You know, and he's, he a Mega Man but he's in this one ton suit that makes him an uber Mega Man right? It's almost unfair.
Starting point is 00:16:50 It is unfair and that's what's fun about it. When you're going through the campaign the little dummy aliens I can't think of what their species is called Oh, the ones that run around aimlessly? Yeah, their species is they're like a slave race within the covenant.
Starting point is 00:17:06 And sometimes they just run at you with a plasma grenade in each hand going, but a lot of times their voice acting will be, it's the demon! And they'll just run. They call you the demon. It's great. It's great.
Starting point is 00:17:20 Dude, you know what's great? Drop all their weapons. It might have been ODST that came out. And it's Kyle, me, and Wings of Redemption on a Skype call. And Wings of Redemption is playing his first game of Halo. He's never played the game before. Like me, the two of us are new to it. Kyle's not.
Starting point is 00:17:36 And Wings gets in the game. He's playing multiplayer. He's figuring out that it's different than COD, the controller layout. And he wants to lay down and go prone and snipe at people in the back. And Kyle is like, wings of redemption. You are the last of the Spartan warriors. You are eight feet tall. You can jump 30 feet in the air.
Starting point is 00:17:58 You've been genetically modified and raised since birth. And you want to lay on your belly to fight? Get up. Get up and get in there it was great you are the most advanced fighting being in the in the galaxy run your first move is to lay on your belly to fight you remember that call that oh absolutely i remember that. You remember that call? Oh, absolutely, I remember that. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:18:27 Yeah, I saw it. It was just so hilarious that that was his first, like, what's the prone button? How do I crawl? Master Chief doesn't crawl unless he's just been hit by a nuclear weapon, and he's only crawling to get to his gun, all right? Do you see all those aliens over the hill
Starting point is 00:18:46 screaming in fear, dropping their weapons? That's not because you're laying prone. It's not because they see you all four of you bounding across them. Oh, another. So I've been watching Wings a little bit. I'm loving this part of Wings. I'm like, I'm fanboying over this.
Starting point is 00:19:03 So El Presidor has made a couple of videos giving Wings a hard time.boying over this. So El Presidor has made a couple of videos giving Wings a hard time. If you don't know El Presidor, he takes this bully position where he tells other people they're not good. And Wings is like, I don't care. He's the crazy cat lady of YouTube. Most epic branding ever.
Starting point is 00:19:21 El Presidor is the crazy cat lady of YouTube. The guy's got nothing going on. He's failed in every area of his life that he's ever attempted to take on. And he's giving Wing shit. Fuck that guy. And Wing's crazy cat lady of YouTube should take off. That is absolutely who El Presidor is. Screaming at cameras lonely in Sepia for for some reason from his fucking recliner, pretending he has a cameraman when there's no one else in his life.
Starting point is 00:19:53 I don't even see his channel anymore. I only went to it because I saw Wings describe him as the crazy cat lady of YouTube. And yeah, anyway, Wings, if this somehow gets to you, your branding is fantastic. This is an area where I criticize most, but you nailed it with El Pres. Yeah, that's pretty funny. Yeah, that guy probably shouldn't be throwing stones or whatever he's doing. I don't pay attention to that nonsense, but Wings seems to be – he's doing a little better than he usually does. I'd like him to get on a scale.
Starting point is 00:20:26 This is in terms of viewer. Like, how is he doing better? I just mean, you know, in life. OK. You know, he's doing a little better in life than he was. I want to say I haven't been following this this this last week. I've been busy with a bunch of real world stuff. Had a young lady come and hang out for a bit.
Starting point is 00:20:41 And I disconnected from the online world, chilling with her. But I think I heard that maybe he had maybe a new girlfriend uh you know he's got a new he got a new sports car he's got uh his his online career seems to be doing just fine like it's not crashing and burning or anything like you know it's it's up and down between five or six hundred subs or something like that which is all he needs. He's doing pretty well in life, you know, and maybe an El Presidor individual should not be throwing stones. Know his role. Stay in his lane, maybe. But, yeah, I just saw a couple of the Wings troll channels,
Starting point is 00:21:19 and I popped in a stream or maybe more than one stream. But I didn't say anything. I didn't want attention. Um, and I just saw him play for a while. Yeah. Yeah. Um, Oh,
Starting point is 00:21:31 Taylor, I wanted to talk to you. Oh, we wrapped up with gaming. Yeah. Yeah. I suppose. So I'm just really excited about it.
Starting point is 00:21:36 I'm going to be playing with all my friends. Uh, I'm, I'm glad I had to buy an Xbox one X, uh, because of this announcement that came out today or whatever. And, uh,
Starting point is 00:21:42 and yeah, really looking forward to it. And, and, and hey, if anybody's interested in what we've been talking about, like the story of Master Chief and all that nonsense, but you don't want to play three full-length campaign video games,
Starting point is 00:21:52 there is a YouTube video out there of the HD remastered version of just the cut scenes. And you can sit there and watch it like a movie, and it's very enjoyable. It's probably 30 to 40 minutes long, and I think it's worth watching. It's better than re-watching an old episode of The Office or something like that. You get some really epic content just watching those cut scenes. I want to play with Colin. That's my gaming buddy.
Starting point is 00:22:14 I think we're going to get him a new desk. My wife and I were picking it today. I bought him a gaming PC a couple months ago. I think it turned out to be a good way to spend time together. It would turn out to be a win. Taylor, I have been following hockey. The Blues are going to make the playoffs. It would take a total collapse.
Starting point is 00:22:33 Don't put it past us. I think I saw the odds at like 92% that they're going to make the playoffs. They're most likely going to make it. They just seem to keep winning. They're not even squeezing in. I want to say most likely going to make it. And they just seem to keep winning. They're not even squeezing in. I want to say there's three teams underneath them.
Starting point is 00:22:49 Yeah, we're in third in our division right now, so there's still the two wild cards underneath. Okay. But that could change. I think it's Dallas and maybe Minnesota. There was even a gap between you and the last wild cards. So the Flyers, not the Flyers, the Hurricanes are also in in it but they're like a game and a half out of the playoffs you know a win and a half i should say from being out of the playoffs and the um blues are in a safer position but my
Starting point is 00:23:15 question taylor that was the setup is this good are you happy you're making the playoffs and you're even like deep into it you're not gonna go like a one versus eight seed you're gonna do somewhere else it depends where we pan out like if we stay in third and nashville stays in second in our division that means that we play them in the first round and we've been smashing nashville all season and even the nashville fans on the subreddit and forums i go to about hockey are like, oh yeah, I really hope something happens and we take first or Winnipeg falls down because I don't want to play St. Louis. They've had our number all year.
Starting point is 00:23:51 Styles make fights. Yeah, exactly. And so I think we'll do pretty well against Nashville if that's the pairing. If Nashville retakes first from Winnipeg, I don't think it's going to pan out well versus Winnipeg in the first round. I'm hoping it stays in the exact same position now, but at this point, even if we sucked dick,
Starting point is 00:24:12 we wouldn't get low enough in the league to get a top 10 pick. Unless we get a top 10 pick, it goes to some other team. I don't even remember. Buffalo. At this point, I'm ready to make the playoffs. May as well do it. If we lose at this this point we lose both by not getting into the playoffs and by not getting to pick so i think that's what the flyers have planned are they in it that the
Starting point is 00:24:35 other in it right now no they're not in it i think they're they're like three points no they're three points out they've got 76 and second wildcard. Columbus has 79. Can you scan it from what you're looking at and see if they're eligible for top 10 pick? I'm just looking at the ESPN stats. I don't know. Oh, no, they wouldn't be unless they traded for. That's what I was saying. The Flyers are in that sweet spot of not getting a good draft pick or playoff spot.
Starting point is 00:25:04 Yeah, they probably get like a 12 13 overall pick right now but like uh tampa bay is so good they've already clinched a playoff i saw that too so the distance between tampa bay and second place is the same as the distance between second place and 17th place and i think the east, where Tampa plays, probably most people know that, is the tougher conference this year. They seem to be having a nice record against the West Coast. They do. There's not a lot of parity in that conference, though. So you got
Starting point is 00:25:33 like, you got Tampa and Boston, who are really, really good. But in that conference, you also have Ottawa, Detroit, Buffalo, and Florida to just beat the shit out of. Arguably, you can't put the Canadians in there anymore. They're a middle-aged team.
Starting point is 00:25:49 But they've got four teams that are just beat toys for them. If you think the Senators could play another 80... If the season ended after 82 games and you gave the Senators 130 games to try and make the playoffs, they might not do it. That's how fucking bad the senators are like their their owner like kyle would enjoy this just for the the upsetedness of it the owner can't afford the team and so he keeps like bringing in trades of people and then that player gets good and that player's like all right i want to sign a 10 million dollar a year contract
Starting point is 00:26:22 and he's like someone's on the trading block. Anybody on the trading block? Oh, so you're talking about the Atlanta Braves. That must be what the Braves do. Because the Senators now are basically a farm team for the rest of the NHL. And then like Montreal or St. Louis or Chicago or any team that actually cares will be like, oh, yeah. Yeah, we'll take them. Awesome.
Starting point is 00:26:42 And so like Senators fans are having a meltdown like on, I saw it on Reddit because they're like this, this Eugene, someone made a post on the, on the hockey Reddit and they got like 10,000 upvotes or something ridiculous. And it's like, Eugene Melnick, the owner of the senators has ruined hockey for me.
Starting point is 00:26:59 It's like every time I feel like I, we got a chance of someone good. He trades them away. Look at our roster do you recognize any of these names me neither because this is an ahl team none of these people deserve to be in the show yeah that's what the braves do uh that sucks perennially perennially this is that word perennially perennially um you know they have a good farm team themselves uh so they're really good at not just acquiring new talent,
Starting point is 00:27:25 but creating new talent and bringing it up. And they'll bring these guys up. They'll bring up some fucking hotshot first baseman that's on track to hit fucking 35 home runs or something like that out of nowhere, his second year in the league. And I'm just, holy shit, all right, let's get him signed up for five years, and then we'll start working on the relieving staff. Let's get a couple more pitchers in here.
Starting point is 00:27:48 We've got a World Series caliber. Oh, you traded him. Oh, you traded him. You couldn't sign him for, oh, I see, because you don't have $35 million. Ah, I see, that's right. Your budget is only $90 million for the whole team. See, you can't pay him in Kohl's cash. No, you can't give him Coca-Cola World gift certificates.
Starting point is 00:28:08 You can't give him free admission to the Atlanta Aquarium. You can't get him a peach pass so he goes into the fast lane easier. None of that shit works, apparently, with major league talent. They accept money. Money. They like U.S. currency, and if you don't have enough of that uh then they go and play for the nationals or the mets or anybody who'll pay them because that's how it works and it's it's it's why i don't watch very much baseball anymore is because you can only do
Starting point is 00:28:39 that to me as a fan like eight times before I'm like no one fucks over Kyle Myers nine times. I'm tired of falling in love with these up and coming players. I got names in my head like Saltalamachia, mostly because you can't forget a name like that.
Starting point is 00:29:02 Or these guys come up and it's like, right? These guys come up and you're like oh my god do we have two all-star catchers oh not anymore huh oh oh shit like they just get they just get not even worse in baseball because there's no salary cap and so like yeah like at least in hockey and i think the nba to a lesser extent like you know if the new york rangers only have 10 million dollars left and connor mcdavid's a free agent he's demanding 15 or something like they can't get him they can't go higher and pay a penalty in baseball i feel like a guy can be like all right atlanta i want 200 million dollars and atlanta's like all right
Starting point is 00:29:40 we scrounged it up we got you an an eight-year, $200 million contract. Here you go. Then the Yankees are like, that is like 350 sound. And then he's like, all right, well, I'm going to go play for the Yankees. That's just so fucking unfair. It's how it works. It is. That's in the mid-'90s when I was a very young guy,
Starting point is 00:30:07 but I was a huge fan of the Braves, you know, watching every game. And my parents didn't watch the games I was watching on my own. You know, it's not like I was like, Oh, daddy's watching the Braves. My dad doesn't like the Braves. I like the Braves, you know? And it seemed like we had nailed down this great team and I don't, I'm sure I could Google it and figure out why glavin smoltz maddox those guys weren't going off everywhere they did eventually of course but like for a few years there we had just the best starting pitching lineup in all of baseball it was great it was wonderful but now i don't know what they are they're a farm team for the rest of uh the league anybody i want to say
Starting point is 00:30:42 the braves uh budget is like $98 million a year or something like that. Something below $100 million. That don't cut it when the Yankees can roll out a quarter bill. Philadelphia 76ers basketball are kind of on the other side of that. For a long time, they tanked.
Starting point is 00:31:00 They were just terrible. They lost games pretty much on purpose. They get great players and make them ride the bench. They lost games pretty much on purpose. They get great players and make them ride the bench, so they lost. They called it the process. The process involved getting draft picks. Like, number one draft picks, you know? Not just shitty ones.
Starting point is 00:31:15 And then they got in some good teams. They had a nice core. Now, every time, like, an exciting free agent comes around, they go to the Sixers. And it's kind of cool. they're making a run at the title this year and their record isn't as good as the team is i hope think i don't know i'm not like i'm not a basketball expert but i know they're resting joel and bead for a while because his knees kind of tender and they're like you're like we're gonna make the playoffs uh so let's just
Starting point is 00:31:41 save our our you know health for the games that matter. But they're in a similar spot to Nashville where it looks like they're going to hit the Celtics first round unless things change up. And we haven't beaten them all year. For some reason, they are kryptonite. And we'll
Starting point is 00:32:00 see how it goes. That's all it takes. One bad man. I have a small update on the Halo thing. It seems that they're not just dropping all of those games. They're doling them out one at a time, beginning with Halo Reach, making the kind of playthrough that I was... Yeah, making the kind of Halo playthrough that I was referencing an impossibility
Starting point is 00:32:19 unless I want to play it Christmas or something like that. So we're going to do it on the Xbox. Like, I just got that information. I was like, well, fuck that. And Chiz So we're going to do it on the Xbox. Like, like, like I, I, I just got that information. I was like, well, fuck that.
Starting point is 00:32:27 And Chiz was like, yep, playing it on the Xbox. And I think we're going to stream it. I think Chiz is going to stream it for sure. So, so me, as long as I'm worthy of his talent,
Starting point is 00:32:36 of his, of his playthrough team. So me and Chiz, and we'll get a couple of guys. When is it coming out? I don't know when it's coming out, but they're doling the games out one at a time with a break in between each one
Starting point is 00:32:48 for this PC Master Chief Special Edition deal. I guess... Whereas I've already got it on Xbox. How does one artfully ask if you're going to have access to an Xbox when this game comes out? No, I can play Xbox today. It's already out for the Xbox.
Starting point is 00:33:08 Today, yes. No, no. I mean, you know. Probably. Mr. Kyle, I just can't fit that in my ass. God damn it, Ronnie. I gave you $1,000.
Starting point is 00:33:31 I gave you 300 cigarettes to get that Xbox up your ass. But it's so sharp. I expect a very smelly Xbox to show up here tomorrow. All right? Can I take the discs out of the case? No! I want the disc in it. We're getting the collector's disc here.
Starting point is 00:33:52 I want it in the case. But it's hard steel. Do you need the Master Chief Collector's Edition full-size helmet? That's how it's going. I paid for it, and I'm getting it. This comes with one of those guns that shoots fucking crystals kyle and it hurts
Starting point is 00:34:09 the needler thank you it's got all those all right so everything's in there the bad thing is my asshole must have tripped the trigger and the fines came out those were the coolest little models or i think that was the most fun gun to use one of them in the game too because it was so unfair that was you know it it had its the needle downsides to it but but it a little bit yeah like you just kind of had to get in the area of the guy and a full mag would make him explode the needler was cool you know it was a cool concept for a gun.
Starting point is 00:34:45 In any case, we'll be playing on the Xbox probably sometime soon instead of the PC, which is a damn shame. I wish they'd just give us all the fucking games I'll pay for. Just give them to me. Don't dole them out to me like I'm a child and I can't be trusted with a whole bag full of candy.
Starting point is 00:35:01 You're a dog. We have to give them a bowl a day. If we give them the weekend supply it's gone immediately yeah i'm not gonna scarf down the whole i've got an xbox and i probably can't even see in 4k you know i found that i was just talking to hope about that my daughter hope and you get like and people know who hope is yeah your daughter hope oh yes that's the hope i'm talking about um i have i thought that like 4k for example would be wasted on imperfect vision but it's cumulative like it it's not like i don't find that to be true if i look at something blurry it's even harder to read than blurry shit was 20 years ago that's been my experience yeah i mean i can definitely
Starting point is 00:35:46 tell like the difference on my because i have two 4k tvs so i can i can tell you need to start from the best place possible even if your eyes aren't great absolutely yeah i love my 4k shit uh you know when when people walk in the house and there's the what the fuck is that thing it's you know i love the wall mount i chose too i can you know that thing swings out and juts away from the wall good bit tilts down like to it's pointed right at my eyeballs on the couch it's it's pretty pretty nice i got i got those led things and strips and stuck them behind the tv so i've got this like back glow of whatever color i saw that i saw somebody do that i want to i want to do that it's cheap it's easy it's weird how good 4k looks like i
Starting point is 00:36:25 we have a 4k tv and it seems better than my real vision like like it's so sharp and so wonderful looking i'm like why doesn't looking out the window look this good but yeah i'm sure that if a squirrel let me get this close I can see the little hairs and fibers. We have vultures now. We had three vultures on the roof. One of them with his wings spread just looking at us through the window. My wife is like, how old are we
Starting point is 00:36:58 getting? They're just thermaling above the house and stuff. Don't shoot those. It it's... Yeah. Yeah. Don't shoot those. It's against the law. Okay. We like them.
Starting point is 00:37:09 We like... So I've said this before, but we came from this subdivision where there wasn't a lot of wildlife. And now we're all like, this house came with vultures? How cool is that? I had no idea it came with... We have falcons. We have like voles. I actually don't like them.
Starting point is 00:37:26 Well, yeah. We don't like voles. But what would the problem with the vulture be, Kyle? They're hideous. They're hideous to look at. They eat rotten meat, and if you fuck with them, they'll vomit rotten meat vomit on you. Okay, fair enough. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:37:38 They're in paragliding. Dude, have I said this before, the accidentally racist instructor I had? Cut out for a moment there i'm sorry have i told you guys about the accidentally racist instructor i had no no glad we we backed up to get the word oh it was pretty great because he's teaching us he's like all right you know there's vultures in this area and those vultures with the white wings he's like they're fantastic they help you find the rising air you want to follow them wings. He's like, they're fantastic. They help you find the rising air. You want to follow them. But the vultures with
Starting point is 00:38:06 the black wings, those black ones, it seems like they were put on this earth to deceive you. Don't stay away from the black vultures. They're not good at all. Help me light this crucifix.
Starting point is 00:38:22 I got one up here in the back of the truck. turns out they have an extra tendon that helps them fly in bad lift so it's not a good indicator oh i watched a movie you're gonna love the title of this movie it's called the man who killed hitler and then bigfoot then Bigfoot. Is this a goofy movie? How is that a movie? Because Hitler killed Hitler. Ah, they explain that. So, you know, after he kills Hitler,
Starting point is 00:38:51 he's like, the Nazis had it all set up. Why do you think he had that little mustache, that hair, the suit? It was a costume. They had three or four of them waiting in the wings to replace him if he ever went down. He goes through this whole thing and it's got um sam elliott is the star of this movie the um really well known like he's the
Starting point is 00:39:12 big mustache actor with the gravelly cowboy kind of hitlery with a short well he's the man who killed hitler he's the he's he's the hero of the of the. And as the title would suggest, he does kill Hitler and Bigfoot in this movie. Spoiler. But what's in between is the meat and potatoes. It's just him living his life in the 80s. And him, he's kind of sad and mopey. You never really get his full story,
Starting point is 00:39:43 but you can tell he's went through a lot of bad shit and you know he lost this girl that he loved this is a good movie because it sounds goofy off the title dude it's not goofy it's it's it's this bizarre mix of goofy but they're taking it very seriously and then like like like for like 40 minutes at a time you'll be like well this is a serious fucking film here. This is good. This is good. All right. Well, shit.
Starting point is 00:40:09 Those goons tried to steal his car and he was not having that even as a 65-year-old man. All right. Cool, cool, cool. And then they show the flashbacks of him in World War II infiltrating Hitler's compound and assembling his super secret spy weapon out of gadgetry and like like facing off against hitler and none of that's like silly it's not goofy at all and then he keeps flashing back you know he'll go through a hardship in his modern day which is the 80s life and then he'll flash back to some shit he did in the war and and like his history and stuff and then out of nowhere and left field at the end near the end they're like they show up at his house and it's it's that guy
Starting point is 00:40:50 who was in office space like the main guy oh yeah i forget his name i love that guy yeah i love that guy ron livingston ron livingston is not the red-haired guy the dark-haired guy right yeah ron livingston okay ron livingston shows up on his doorstep at the end. Near the end. And he's like, can we come in, sir? Peter, what's all this about? And he's like, it's better if we just come in. And he's got this fucking Canadian special forces guy.
Starting point is 00:41:19 And they sit at his table. And he's like, you know, my grandpa, he used to tell me stories about you. Made it sound like you were King Arthur or something. You didn't pull any swords out of a stone, did you? Maybe you did something a little more important, though, huh? And he's kind of playing it coy there for a minute. And he's like, it's true. I did it.
Starting point is 00:41:40 And he goes through the whole story and tells him how he killed Hitler and everything. He's like, I didn't make a damn. All I did was kill a man. It gets super serious. He's, I didn't make a damn. All I did was kill a man. It gets super serious. He's so gravely. He's like, all I did was kill a man. His evil lived on. And real heroes won that war.
Starting point is 00:41:54 And Ron Lipsy's like, all right, all right. So we need you to kill the Bigfoot. You're only 60 years older. He's like, it's carrying a virus, and it kills everything. Animals, people, everything. And we tested your blood, and you're one of three individuals that we know of who's immune to the virus that the Bigfoot is carrying. One of the other ones, unfortunately, was Hitler.
Starting point is 00:42:22 That's the twist. You need to go back in time and get hitler and bring him here to help we're gonna send you into the canadian wilderness and so he's like he thinks about it a while he talks to his brother about it he finally agrees to it to save the world because otherwise they're literally gonna nuke this huge corner of canada to get rid of this virus that the bigfoot is carrying and they get him up into can. They know he killed dozens. Well, there's nothing left in there. They've just got it quarantined off.
Starting point is 00:42:49 That was his joke, yeah. Yeah, yeah. Ron Livingston is like, they didn't have much on the way of weaponry up here, so I had to supplement their collection with my own supply. And he opens this, you know, it's one of those scenes where they open up a big room with, like, crazy guns.
Starting point is 00:43:04 And he's just like, that gun, that scope, this knife, it's one of those scenes where they open up a big room of like crazy guns and he's just like that gun that scope this knife that's it and he goes in to kill the bigfoot and it's a little messy from from there on it sounds better than i thought it would be i watched it and i was like well shit that was a weird fucking movie it wasn't goofballs the whole time but it felt like three movies mixed together it felt like a movie about a guy who killed hitler and it was a top secret and nobody ever got to know about it a movie about an old man dealing with being an old man in an era that wasn't his anymore and that was probably 80 of the movie and i liked I liked that. Him sort of accepting that he's like, I feel old.
Starting point is 00:43:48 I am old. But I didn't think it happened this soon. All this self-reflection about being old. And then out of nowhere, it's Bigfoot killing time, and Bigfoot does not go down easy. I'm going to tell you right now. Does Bigfoot look cool, or does he look stupid?
Starting point is 00:44:04 Let's not talk about what Bigfoot looks like, all right? I want people to watch this movie. Dude. What was the rationale in the movie for – why didn't Sam Elliott take credit for killing Hitler? Both the governments covered it up. The Nazis obviously covered it up because they wanted to keep – particularly the Führerer alive and continue their war
Starting point is 00:44:26 and they replaced him with a puppet guy. I think maybe the US wouldn't want it known that they were singling out world leaders like that, even in a time of war, because you wouldn't want the same done to you. You wouldn't want them coming after FDR necessarily. They didn't outright
Starting point is 00:44:41 explain that, but that would be my rationale. That's a weird thing, isn't it? Like in wars, like I know that like obviously the world leaders are given so much protection, but it seems like it would happen more often than like one sniper would sneak in and like pick off the head top guy. Yes. Yeah. I think the world maybe isn't as dangerous as we think it is. Right. Like maybe not.
Starting point is 00:45:02 I don't know. I don't want to talk don't talk about u.s politics but there are enough people frustrated with trump no one's taking a shot right and um i can't even name the syrian leader is it asad asad yeah no one's taking a shot it seems putin right he must have enemies all over he kills people he kills reporters and other guys who challenge his authority nobody taking like these guys are all fine it must be either a lot harder or people just are less inclined to kill than than you think yeah there was a there was this story i saw on twitter of this like uh not a world leader is this like
Starting point is 00:45:43 ex-prostitute from some South American country or something. And she was saying, like, I have information that's going to blow up a huge pedophile ring that's going to, you know, implicate multiple very important people. If anything comes out that I died of an overdose, or I killed myself, I didn't do that. And then like months later, it's like this person died of a heroin overdose. She'd struggled with addiction for a long time. And it's like, Oh shit.
Starting point is 00:46:11 Like, Oh no. Well, that's not good. Like, and I didn't look very deeply into it. Who knows? Maybe it's total bunk,
Starting point is 00:46:19 but it was enough that like, ah, I wonder if it's pedophiles. I reason, but like you need, I feel like you need a power... I guess you wouldn't need to be that powerful to go inject somebody with a bunch of heroin, but you probably would need to be powerful
Starting point is 00:46:31 to make sure police didn't pick up on... I don't know. I've never done this. Do you? You just need to get some alone time. A little home invasion, some heroin. Like the Saudis did that Khashoggi guy, right? You know, you just get them. Yeah, it could be. Of course, they didn't really keep that secret, did they?
Starting point is 00:46:49 They tried. They weren't good at it. Yeah, not at all. Not at all. I watched the Michael Jackson documentary as well. Chiz doesn't buy it, right? Didn't he say the whole thing was biased and that these people said he didn't rape them earlier and now they're changing their mind?
Starting point is 00:47:07 That's true. The two men who are in this documentary telling stories of how Michael Jackson raped them and molested them over the course of years were also in the maybe 1997 trial or whenever it was when they defended him as children and then once again as young men at the age of like 21 or 22 they they came forward again and defended him again at that point i didn't know this and and now is like they're like maybe 35 something like that um one of them's fairly famous. He's the choreographer for NSYNC and Britney Spears and a lot of pop bands like that. And he got all of that basically by being Michael Jackson's little friend. Michael Jackson found him because this guy was, like, one of Michael Jackson's dancing contests.
Starting point is 00:48:01 And then, like, he'd spend months with Michael at a time, like sleeping in the same bed all the time and a lot of that stuff isn't even up for debate like Michael admitted that these boys were sleeping in his bed their moms and dads were like yeah he slept with Michael he didn't bother us a bit
Starting point is 00:48:17 we thought it was normal we thought it was normal we liked the chicks pouring in the problem with sexual assault cases, especially if they're cold, is there's never any evidence. They happen quietly in a darkened room when people are alone.
Starting point is 00:48:35 Yeah. If I steal Kyle's gun, then they're going to find that gun. If I wreck a car, it's just always sort of quietly done well there's all kind of circumstantial stuff like one of the one of the mothers of the of the men who's in the documentary she's in it too you know and she's like yeah he bought me a house that corner looks bad doesn't it yeah he's like originally it was a loan you know He loaned me a little money at a low interest rate.
Starting point is 00:49:05 But then after a while, after the trial was over and Tommy testified for him, he just forgave that debt. I know that looks bad, but it does look bad. It does look pretty bad. There's no but. It just looks bad. And then there's a panning shot of her big-ass house. It is a legit fucking house.
Starting point is 00:49:25 It's a $2 million house or some shit. I don't know, man. These kids go into detail about how over long periods of time, the sexual abuse ramped up from fondling to him trying to penetrate them
Starting point is 00:49:41 by the time they're like 13 or 14 or something like that. And he's got this, these, these long stories about how, I don't know about, about the,
Starting point is 00:49:51 how the rooms were set up and how there was like alarm bells that would literally ring if someone was approaching and how Michael would, would like talk them through like what to say if anyone asked them about anything and how Michael would tell them that they would both go to jail for the rest of their lives if they ever got caught and and the way they detail the abuse and and sure these two men could have gotten together and be like all right well let's tell him that at first he did this thing and let's tell him that he liked this thing a lot but their stories do match so either they literally got together and did what i just described
Starting point is 00:50:23 which seems to me like a criminal conspiracy if you're doing shit like that to defame Michael Jackson. Or he did that shit because they both described this escalation of abuse and these things that he liked to be done to him and liked to do to them. Like liking having his nipples rubbed and liking for them to get naked and get in the corner of the bed on their hands and knees and spread their ass cheeks so he could jerk off. All this fucked up shit. It's hard to watch. It's like four hours of this shit too.
Starting point is 00:50:53 Maybe five. Is it like a series? HBO. It's a two-part documentary. I watched about 85% of it, I would say. I felt like I got all the information that I needed it's a new topic but I'm very excited Infinity Wars
Starting point is 00:51:11 Endgame it's the next one coming out in late April which is not that far very soon 180 minutes like that's great I'm happy about it.
Starting point is 00:51:25 Me too. Are you happy too? Oh, good. No, no, no. I love long movies. How cheated would you be if it was like 38 minutes? So cheated. How long is Lord of the Rings?
Starting point is 00:51:35 Like two hours and 53 minutes or something like that. Oh, so it's about the same. When you get the extended versions, they sort of move around from like two and a half hours to a little over three or something. Three hours can be an epic movie that's gonna be that's a real i'm watching ben hurr a lot of horses die in there and a guy died in the chariot scene oh shit that's cool i like that i just i'm i'm psyched for it i haven't seen captain marvel yet but i'm but I'm going to. I guess there's like a
Starting point is 00:52:05 feminist angle on it. I can't tell if it's the movie that people are fussing about or the actress and things she's done outside the movie. I don't know. I just want to enjoy the movie on a movie level. I just want to enjoy the movie. I've been following that nonsense a little bit. It can go both ways.
Starting point is 00:52:23 I feel like if there's a movie like that, like Wonder Woman, for example. Great movie, by the way. I loved it. When there's a movie like that, there can definitely be this group of toxic dudes who don't like that there's a female-led movie. But on the other hand, there can also be this group of feminists who are like, a woman's in it. It's wonderful. Well, hang on a minute. Let's check on the reviews first.
Starting point is 00:52:46 What's IMDb say? Oh, you bought that one out. What's Rotten Tomatoes say? You own that one too. Well, let's see what the critics say. Oh, well, they all went missing. What are the fans saying? Oh, they all hate it.
Starting point is 00:52:58 Oh! I saw that they deleted like 50,000 reviews off of the Rotten Tomatoes site for it. That might not be as terrible as you think it's hard to know because there are a lot of people reviewing that movie before it came out people who haven't seen it people who just these are trolls you know it's those two groups i just described you know there's that group of of like feministas who are just like a woman's in it so it's wonderful and then this group of like toxic douchebags who were like a woman's in it, so it's wonderful! And then this group of toxic douchebags who were like, a woman's in it,
Starting point is 00:53:28 it's bullshit! Meanwhile, I'm over here like, I just want a good movie. I thought Wonder Woman was pretty fucking good. It got kind of shitty toward the end when she actually faces off against the big bad guy, but most of that movie was sick, and
Starting point is 00:53:44 Gal Gadot does a wonderful job if this is similar to that if she does a good job then i don't care that it's a woman superhero because like i've always like i always say i don't like it when you make a movie about a woman firefighter because that's bullshit if she if she if it's if she's cast in a row that in a role that easily could have been the rock, where she's just kicking doors in and dragging grown men out, one on each shoulder, but she's just a regular chick or something, bullshit. Come on. Don't do this to me. But if it's Captain Marvel, if she's inherited some sort of magical superpowers from a Kree super warrior or something like that which i'm pretty sure is the background
Starting point is 00:54:25 here i'm good with that okay i'm good with a pretty little girl being the strongest avenger now i'm fine with that because that's what that's how the comics were so long as they're good at it i feel like avengers did a good job gal gadot is a good job i think wonder woman is just a a good movie people are acting like it's great, one of those wonderful movies. I think it's good. But I'm really sensitive to women with no athletic abilities who are virtually models playing in action roles.
Starting point is 00:54:55 If they pull back a bow and arrow and look really pretty while doing it instead of athletic, if they can't jump from the floor to a chair without, I don't know, adding pizzazz to it or something, or if they look like they're barely able to accomplish that jump. And it's not a sexist thing because I feel the same way about Liam Neeson.
Starting point is 00:55:18 All right? Yeah, yeah. Steven Seagal is one that's jumped out at me for a long time. Oh, fuck that guy. He's just completely incapable of doing the things they haven't just let him keep doing this oh and um harrison ford is another one him in star wars he's a hundred years old that's my problem he's a hundred years old but in his most recent star wars appearance he was like the number one action star in that film and it's like the fuck he's like looking at his foot placement gingerly because he's 70
Starting point is 00:55:46 something and i think he did break his leg that's probably related well no he broke well i think he i think he got a limb shut in the door of the millennium fountain yeah or it fell down on him or something but like leading up to the production he crashed his goddamn airplane and like broke a leg or something it seemed like you know before he crashed his airplane, there's footage of him landing on the taxiway. For people that don't know, most airports look kind of like an oval. And there's two long straight lines connected at the ends. One is the taxiway. It's painted different.
Starting point is 00:56:17 You can tell which one it is, unless you're senile. And then you land on the taxiway by accident sometimes. I don't know. It happens. Han Solo lands where he lands. Okay, counterpoint, yeah. But, yeah, so to me, he was too old for that, for what he was in that role, you know?
Starting point is 00:56:36 If he was the elder, used-to-be action star, he'd be fine, I'd love it. That's who he should have been. But to be like, everything's true, and still pull that shit off i like like all these like little because it seems like so many times these uh superhero movies come out there's a huge uproar these people dislike it because of this and these people these trolls are going to do this and that and so beware for these this big group of trolls that are out there somewhere spending time
Starting point is 00:57:00 on this and then so we need to stand up and like maybe i'm being cynical i think pretty much every time it's an orchestrated marketing thing for the company promoting it to be like how do we make sure there's a lot of you know a lot of talk a lot of gab well we're gonna say there's a big group of trolls out to get them and then we're gonna get these people and then actual trolls will crop up because they'll see people fighting phantom enemies and they'll go this is funny i'm gonna join in and so they orchestrate these things they let it sit there and then they know they're going to get a ton of people who see it almost as an obligation of like i'm gonna go because i support the female message and then some people the trolls or whoever are going to go see it because they're
Starting point is 00:57:36 like well if i'm going to make fun of this online i gotta go see it so i do my research people i dislike so like sure i'm sure some of it's genuine i'm sure a lot of it's genuine most people don't know they're part of a grassroots marketing effort when they come about but i would say that these an astroturf 20 thank you so i would uh does that astroturf means everybody's like or no astroturf starts out fake it tries to grow a fake grassroots organization yeah and so like i feel like that's how a lot of these are where they want to get as much buzz as possible and so they they start these not really controversies to get a bunch of articles pumped out into the Zeitgeist. Could be. It had the sixth biggest opening of all time.
Starting point is 00:58:15 That's not even a conspiracy. Companies do stuff like that. Yeah, they absolutely do. They're the sixth biggest opening of all time. So they've already made their money back and then some, uh, and I'm sure it'll do well this, uh, this upcoming weekend as well. Uh, I,
Starting point is 00:58:29 I, I kind of want to see it, I guess, but, but I'm more interested. I need to see some good reviews and I need to know if it's how, how relevant, how I want to know how badly I need to see it to understand the next Avenger movie.
Starting point is 00:58:45 You know what I mean? I do know what you mean. If there's some stuff going on here that I need to see, I know about the character already because I watched the cartoons and shit. But if something happens in this movie that's key to the next movie, then I definitely want that piece of the puzzle. I rewatched Infinity War two or three nights ago or something like that. That's a good fucking movie, man. It actually movie yes yes yeah it's a really good i watched it like a month ago
Starting point is 00:59:10 and uh it was my wife's first time seeing it and it's good movie like it's a i feel like some people like just don't like superhero movies but that's true it stands on its own you don't have to be a comic book nerd i wasn't really a comic book guy growing up. I watched some YouTube videos to sort of fill in gaps. Sure. I like Infinity War. I stopped being embarrassed about it. I think Infinity War is very good.
Starting point is 00:59:33 You don't need to watch the 28 movies that came before it necessarily to kind of get what's going on. If you just know everybody's names and kind of what they're capable of, you got it. Yeah. And if you don't, they'll quickly show you oh look this guy uh you know he's pretty strong there you go kind of seems that way good fucking movie i i really i really enjoyed it danos is such a good character uh i i really love danos as a villain he's he's fucking great cgi on that guy is great um it seems like the movie version of him is a little better than the comic version i thought yeah so i'm not an expert in the comics like but like i said i've caught up to speed the movie version is a little more thoughtful intelligent almost well-meaning and a well-meaning super villain is an interesting thing you know a guy who thinks that he's just in his, like,
Starting point is 01:00:28 genocide doesn't cover it, you know? But he's good at heart. And it's just, it's a fun, you know, thing they got going on. Yeah. I wish I could remember his catchphrase. Something about the strongest wills. No, the hardest choices require the strongest wills or something like that. It's fucking great, you know? Yeah. the fight scenes are so cool you know the like like five superheroes
Starting point is 01:00:51 are spinning around him simultaneously hitting him with just everything they've got yes and he's just like oh that for a drop of blood yeah it's good shit man it's it's real good uh you know josh brolin who plays than yeah josh brolin yeah i some people really praised his performance and the second time watching it i saw it a little more like he did do a good job but i sometimes don't give full credit to people who are that heavily cgi'd yeah you know like they could swap him out with me and the people wouldn't know. Well, it's catching all those facial expressions, right? Just like Andy Serkis.
Starting point is 01:01:29 But they're CGI'd, right? Well, the facial expressions are theirs. It's like, there's little bubbles all over their face. And when they make a face, like, they're moving the face of a puppet with their face.
Starting point is 01:01:43 So I follow what you're saying and I get it. I just don't know where to put the the credit on right because what if i did it did a shitty job and then the cgi actors turn it into a great job i don't think they can okay they're not that good woody let's calm down i thought they did that yeah i don't know. They did pretty good in Toy Story. I'm looking forward to the next one. That's really big. April's a big month for entertainment.
Starting point is 01:02:14 Yeah. And the Infinity War ending finally. And Taylor, that's the end of the Marvel movies as far as most people are concerned. That's it. That wraps up the whole story. A lot of the actors won't be there anymore. It's Thanos' turn.
Starting point is 01:02:29 If I watch that one, I'll have enough to put the pieces together. You'll know all the characters if you watch that one. I watched the other one, the Infinity War. There's a few you haven't seen. Ant-Man and... Who's the bow and arrow guy? All the Avengers between the first one
Starting point is 01:02:45 and whatever the one I just watched, Infinity War. I haven't seen those. They're pretty good movies too. But I'm already caught up. Kyle's right. I hadn't really thought about the complexity in doing the next one.
Starting point is 01:03:01 So I don't know how much source material there is. I imagine there's plenty of source material. Yeah, yeah. But there there's plenty of source material. Yeah, yeah. But there's a lot of contracts expiring. There's a lot of pieces that make it difficult to keep this going. I don't know. This bitch makes $3 billion,
Starting point is 01:03:15 and Captain America's going to sign back up. God, strong point. Strong point. That's why Star Trek didn't happen, right? The Star Trek revenues have been dropping, even though I personally like the movies that everyone else seems to hate. The actors got a little bigger in their names. They started costing a little more and just didn't connect.
Starting point is 01:03:37 You make a $3 billion movie and you have a billion-dollar actor's budget, then shit can happen. So yeah, April's a big month for entertainment. I'm psyched for all of it. I'm trying to say we're from the Game of Thrones. actor's budget, then shit can happen. April's a big month for entertainment. I'm psyched for all of it. I'm trying to say we're from the Game of Thrones. Spoilers. I'm accomplishing that mightily. I have an eye for it.
Starting point is 01:03:55 Every time I see the word spoiler, I go scroll, scroll, scroll. No thing. Most of it is jokes. That is a talent we all have. I do not feed into those. When I see spoiler, I know. But sometimes it'll say spoiler, and there'll be that warning. But even if you just look at the thumbnail of the Reddit article, you'll be spoiled.
Starting point is 01:04:17 So I'm just like, ah, no, no, no, no, no. Don't look, don't look. Don't want to know. Yeah, I don't know much. I watched a trailer breakdown i think but i got nothing from it nothing yeah you know it'll be my luck like like i'll find out that sean bean's coming back for the final season or something like that and i'll know what's coming that would be neat you know he didn't have to be alive but even if he came back as a flashback
Starting point is 01:04:41 and like filled in a blank or something like i would i think that'd be cool um yeah then you told me there's no uh i didn't think the trailer had any bad spoilers and i won't spoil anything for you but it'd be like this person is seeing a thing and that person looked quite distressed over it yeah all right then you know like that's Thanks for your help. I didn't pick up on that on my own. All right, then. Is that a wrap? It is. I got dinner. All right.
Starting point is 01:05:11 Me too. PKN 238.
