Starting point is 00:00:00 10-577. What's up, boys? Not too much. I went to the first baseball game I'd been to in like 12 years. And I got to tell you, that change they made where they make, they force them to pitch faster, that made a bigger difference than I thought. Because the game start to finish was like two and a half hours. In my head, I always remember baseball games being like four hours. Unfortunately, the whole.
Starting point is 00:00:30 first eight and a half innings, the Cardinals did not score and it was very, very slow and kind of boring, but that's baseball. And then the only exciting play the entire time for the Cardinals was like a walk-off three-run hit where they won three to two in the end. So it was like, woo, neat. And it's like, all right, well, that was a lot of, there's a lot of nothing before that payoff though. It's not built up. Like, you guys won with a walk-off? three run homer like that's an amazing win but i have to admit baseball's a boring game yeah the most excited and like i don't know anything about baseball but i'm like man this guy's this pitcher of ours yeah i know he's he's not supposed to be hitting the dirt
Starting point is 00:01:19 in front of the plate this this regularly he's trying to blind them he gets a little sand in their eyes they don't see the fastball coming after that yeah i swear maybe they pulled him because that guy was fucking sucked he was hitting dirt up every other pitch it was a fun sports weekend i watched a couple of NFL games i watched the bills make this crazy comeback it was the fourth quarter four minutes to go and they were down by like nine i think and they came back and won that thing like heroically it was it was really cool to watch and the bills are just a franchise it's always down and i root for the bills like when the bills get a win i'm I'm good for you guys.
Starting point is 00:01:59 You deserve it. Because I know what happened in the early 90s. They went to four consecutive Super Bowls and lost. Like that's awful. That's worse than just sucking. You see their fans sometimes wearing like literal brown bags on their heads in the stands with eyes. So they won't get seen and be found out as a Bills fan instead of a Giants fan or whatever. Well, good for them.
Starting point is 00:02:19 They've been good in the past couple years. I think they have. I look forward to their downfall. Fuck the Bills. Then the Falcons. They never had an upswing, Woody. They can't have a downfall. They need to achieve a division, division rivalry in the Buccaneers and NFC East or whatever.
Starting point is 00:02:33 They get down to the end and they have a chance to tie it up and go to overtime. And I'm like, let's go, boys. I'm watching it with Scum and a couple other guys. I'm like, this is pretty cool. I turned away from my helldivers game. I'm like, we're going to do this. And they bring out the kicker. He's a Korean.
Starting point is 00:02:50 And I was like, oh, uh-oh. I've never seen a Korean NFL player in my fucking life. there's no way we have like the yellow gym of the south here and can't kick Kim and he sure enough misses wide ride I think and just look that's the game that the clock goes to zero and the game's over and the bucks are like yeah fuck you and then that was the game and the Falcons continue to be just dog shit losers who humiliate their their home they've got the nicest stadium in the country maybe like Mercedes Ben Stadium is so nice yeah it's really I know their food is affordable, right? Or is that a different? Yeah, that's the Braves actually, right? No, it's the Mercedes-Benz
Starting point is 00:03:30 that does the really nice food prices as well, I think. And they have a really nice convertible top stadium that's fancy. When you see it from the outside, it's like, ah, the future is now, but the team inside's not worth the show. The Cowboys tried to play against the Eagles, an actual NFL team, and lost. I was pretty happy about that. Scum and I go back and forth talking trash from time to time. He gets very angry and strong about it. I usually laugh and send pictures. He literally loves the cowboys.
Starting point is 00:04:01 He's a lifelong man and Woody's just a mean person. You're just antagonizing, but that's fun too. That's its own kind of sport. But I didn't want to lose because Calvin will come back hard and I don't think I wrote anything. Maybe just Gigi. You also turned spitting
Starting point is 00:04:19 on each other. That was wild. Take turns, spitting it. Listen, the Cowboys spit on the Eagles. The Eagles spit back. It's okay to win. It's okay to be bigger, stronger, and better than your opponent. Better at spitting. Drop to their level, as the Eagles say.
Starting point is 00:04:36 Mm-hmm. I mean, whatever. They're like all going to die like 30 years earlier than they otherwise would have. And people are like, did you see that guy spit? It's like, who gives a fuck? These are like, they're like destroying their brains. I didn't like the original. narrative because the Eagles got if you don't know the Eagles guy got ejected from the game
Starting point is 00:04:55 and the Cowboys guy no one even knew he was the first spitter in the sequence yeah he like got away with it in terms of like the P I bet a lot of people still don't know that's the only reason I'm fine with it because it was a reciprocal yeah they we can't just see if it was just one guy spitting on another it's like well this is really just out of control disrespectful like spitting on the other team yeah I didn't like that I don't like spitting on people in general sports, it's super disrespectful. I like when I get rivalries and I get hating your opponents, especially hating their fans.
Starting point is 00:05:27 When you're in your Philadelphia, how could you not? They're the incredibly racist, awful people. Boston, too. They're not even known as racist. I meant, yeah, I meant Boston is the racism place for sure. Like, Philly's just mean, they throw batteries at Santa. It wasn't even a black, if it'd been a black Santa, you'd be like,
Starting point is 00:05:43 eh, what are we all thinking? But it was just a regular white Santa that they threw the batteries and snowballed. I don't like that. I needed to know where he stood. If you saw that, that Santa you'd have thrown a battery at him too that guy was looking fucking bad Santa were they bad gifts maybe he was giving out RC cars and he had forgotten
Starting point is 00:06:01 the batteries and so they were helping they were like Santa give this to the kid he's probably giving out Eagles merch he was like Santa I saw a Cowboys fan with a Cowboys jersey on getting harangued by the police they're in the squad car
Starting point is 00:06:19 like do you know what city you're in, Bert. Take that fucking jersey off, hurt. Get out of here. Broad speaker, loudspeakers. Yeah, they ran him off. Just a, just a boorish, classless city, seemingly.
Starting point is 00:06:34 Best four city are. You never hear about any other cities having to grease the polls before, not just before a potential loss. You hear about those cities not caring. Los Angeles, this great sports city, all the athletes want to go to, don't pay attention to their team. Philly fans will bleed green for the evening. Eagles. They will bleed orange for the, for the, um, uh, flyers and red, white and blue for the
Starting point is 00:06:57 sixers. Like they are very heavily invested. It's a part of their identity and sense of self-worth and they care. Do you see that in Phoenix? Not really. It's too hot for that. It's too hot for that. You can't, you can't be excited. That's true. And also Phoenix, like, what percentage of Phoenix is from Phoenix? Like one? Like, everybody who lives there is like from somewhere else. It's one of those cities where, like, I remember when they had the coyotes, their hockey team there. And like, I felt bad for their team, like the players because it was like, ah, you guys don't have home. Like, oh, you're playing the Bruins or Chicago and the entire state. It looks like they just have like a, like, oh, not a lot of people at the Blackhawks game tonight.
Starting point is 00:07:36 Oh, wow, this is in Phoenix. Like, they're not even, their jeers from the Chicago fans are louder than the cheers from the few Phoenix people there. That would suck. But you're right about the weather thing. people from good weather places do not care as much about sports I've noticed that too that correlation like Boston Philly Midwest towns I will say the area I'm from cares about college sports a lot
Starting point is 00:08:01 that's weird for the Northeast I never think of Northeast as college I meant I'm from currently I know that wasn't really clear yeah yeah but like the they care about college basketball in this area with Duke and UNC and NC State sometimes occasionally on the list we made Final Four just recently they there you go yeah in excellent college football news guess who made it to 25 missu they're on the list oh you're ranked they're on the list dude i love that it's so much dude the gap between being ranked and other teams receiving votes which is where i like to hang out my favorite area is dropped from rankings that's where missou like to hang out back and forth
Starting point is 00:08:44 but yeah we'll see they had a good win against uh it actually wasn't a good win against kansas i guess they were down by 15 in the second quarter and then they came back and won by like 12 or something in the very end but it's good it's good to be ranked there it's annoying opening my espn app on my phone to like see what the scores are and you have to like go to this little tab and like i have to select cc to see mazou's game because it defaults to top 25 but now and they got a little number next to them front page a front page team uGA's got a real test next week think on a i think 15th ranked tennessee uh not next week this week this saturday uh that'll be their first real game they they beat up on a couple of teams
Starting point is 00:09:28 they paid to to beat up on first which is such a weird thing like that is weird it well it's every team does it you know you do this thing where you beat up on some almost junior teams that don't belong in the same division or class as you and you pay them like 500 or $150,000 or even more sometimes. I hear sometimes it's like a mill to come and take an ass whooping. And it's like, why? Why are we doing this? Why don't we just, do you not have enough good teams in the schedule?
Starting point is 00:09:54 Wow, we're playing too many games then. What are we doing? Like, no other sports organization does that. It's like, ah, there's not enough teams for us to play a full 16 game season or whatever. So we're going to play the Livonia Tigers. There's, there's Mikey there. He's 14. Like, you don't do that.
Starting point is 00:10:10 It doesn't make any sense to me when they do that. I mean, the way college football structured is weird. I just wanted to look at the rankings for my team NC State, who I'm heavily invested in and probably know the quarterback's name if you don't quiz me. But other teams receiving votes, I'm like, we're on the list. Where are we on the list? Last, how many votes? One.
Starting point is 00:10:32 Who do we know? Shout to that guy. He's a bro. You've got one elector in your corner. one person on earth who thinks we deserve to be ranked or was paid to believe so did you uh did you really big shout out to florida for that horrible loss because that's what got missou into the list is because florida got got booted oh yeah i florida's one of my most hated teams in the country for sure that's a big rivalry uh it was it hasn't been at the last few years because we just stomped their
Starting point is 00:11:06 shit in so badly but uh i love to see them take a loss love to see those legacy fans of theirs have to eat it for another year. Your team's bad. You should feel bad. I really enjoy that. And just a stomping from a team that most people have never heard of. I didn't know that was a team. South Florida. Yeah, they probably paid them for that ass whooping.
Starting point is 00:11:25 Oh, it was UCF? Why don't I think it was UCF? It was the South Florida Bulls. Oh, heck. All right, I'm wrong. They're actually not they beat Boise State their first game. And then they beat Florida. maybe they're having a year
Starting point is 00:11:42 yeah having a year sometimes it goes like that like a weaker team heck even like at the NC state level where they're in a power five conference but they're you know never one of the dominant ones but if it just so happens
Starting point is 00:11:55 that all our people sort of stay we got a lot more seniors than we typically do then we can make some noise and you know have a good year yeah we also are in a power five conference and never one of the time or actually two years ago we were one of the top ones
Starting point is 00:12:09 and that was like an anomaly but yeah as a whole it just sucks because looking at schedules like it's like oh south carolina that's going to probably be difficult Alabama Auburn Texas A&M Oklahoma Mississippi State like like these are real teams and it's like fuck like where's where's like the joke team that you get to play after I guess Florida schedules like central Arkansas I looked at Florida schedule and it's just murderers row it's they play Georgia and 10 I mean it's SEC football so it's kind of like that, but it's rough. Yeah, it used to be the roughest. I mean, come on.
Starting point is 00:12:43 What you talk about? No, still are. Who did Michigan lose to this week? Michigan lost to somebody. Now that the other conferences can pay their players too, SEC is losing their power position. We'll see if this comes true, but that's what the internet says. Is it? What are the
Starting point is 00:12:59 rankings like right now? Let me look at the CFV top 10. Ohio on top, Penn State in second, and then LSU, Oregon, Miami, Georgia, Texas, Notre Dame. I think Notre Dame's ACC now, right? They're not at a conference.
Starting point is 00:13:16 They like get to pick their own schedule every year. Is it still that way? That's the most bananas thing in any sport, bar none, is like letting a team not be a part of a conference and letting them pick their own opponents. That's crazy. So only three of the top ten on my list are SEC, LSU, Georgia, and Texas. So Ohio State's number one.
Starting point is 00:13:39 LSU's number two on mine Penn State 3 Miami 4 then Oregon Georgia, Texas Illinois, Notre Dame Florida State good for Florida as a state as having multiple
Starting point is 00:13:50 multiple But one and two are big 10 And not on mine What's You're probably using more official wrecking Here We're looking at different ranks
Starting point is 00:14:02 It looks like I just did It doesn't make a difference really Both in both of these have one and two I was on the CBA Yes, ball. On the AP, it's almost identical. On the AP won 10 out of the top 25 teams are SEC. In the AP one, oh, okay, if you go down for a there.
Starting point is 00:14:21 Yeah, if you just count. And I think the returning champs are Big Ten, right? Last year's champs. Who won last year, Ohio? I think so. Michigan? I should run. I don't know.
Starting point is 00:14:31 I don't know. Is it so good. Someone who's like really into college football is like furious right now listening about us talking about this. Why? Because they're like These fucking dudes don't know anything. Because I feel like you're supposed to be an expert when people are listening to you. We're learning as we go here.
Starting point is 00:14:49 We're like, well, how do they stack up as of right now? And it's like, all right, like three of the 10. Honestly, I just like talking trash about the SEC because they had this like can't lose situation where like if they win. Oh my God, the SEC is so amazing. If they lose, well, it's okay. We lost to an SEC team. therefore it's the hardest of the hard but it's like there's nothing they can do that's wrong if they win it's great if they lose it's okay how does any other team ever get like a shot at this
Starting point is 00:15:18 and it seems like now with the playoff system SEC teams are getting their butts handed to them in the first round and other conferences are winning and it seems like a lot of players don't play in the bowl games though like the ball games a lot of a lot of the good players don't play for the bowl games they go to the NFL and then skip out on playing their bowl game. So it's almost like not representative of what the team's strength level was. So like that happened last year with Georgia losing to Notre Dame in their bowl game. It's like, yeah, we all went to the NFL. Like they're playing for the bucks now.
Starting point is 00:15:52 Like they're 60 million dollar contracts. That's a strong point. Well, we'll see how the regular title speaks for itself. Like we saw who won the national title last year for sure. Georgia was not the best team in the country and the SEC was not the best conference in the country. They didn't have the best team. And you can't judge, like, I don't know, tide changes, evolutions in football off one year.
Starting point is 00:16:16 You know, if I said your Clemson won that the ACC was the best, we'd all know that was, you know, just it wasn't a permanent C change. We'll see if this is a permanent route. I think the NIL might as going to change. Like, I think that they're going to see that this is not a good idea. I think it's going to lead to bad things. Those 19-year-olds having millions of dollars is just going to end badly. someone's going to die in a car accident or in some drug-fueled rampage or something.
Starting point is 00:16:41 Given those kids all that money, it should be in a trust or something, I feel like. I actually kind of like that. In basketball, it's changed the rookies a lot. Like they enter as sort of in the wealthy persons club already, not as wealthy as the established NBA guys, but already wealthy. And a lot of, like, when an NBA guy got drafted, he was like, oh, my God, I made it. oh my god i'm so happy my life has changed now they're like the hornets fuck and it's like yeah you got to understand he's already worth two and a half million right like this isn't a
Starting point is 00:17:18 guy who's just happy to finally get his first good paycheck he's rich he wants more than that yeah the uh i saw that there was did you hear about that seal team raid from 2019 that was leaked this week yeah they killed the north the south koreans maybe is that sound So here's what happened. During Trump's negotiations with Kim Jong back in 2019, he wanted some insider information. And they found a way through some unnamed technology that they could plant within North Korea to listen in on all of his private communications and negotiations behind the scenes. So they could negotiate better against him. And so they sent Seal Team 6 in in a nuclear, they sent a nuclear submarine into North Korean waters. And then to many, subs were launched from it underwater. They're wet subs, so they're open top, like convertibles, so we're sitting in this thing, just in scuba gear.
Starting point is 00:18:13 And they did this in the dead of winter in the middle of night. They figured there'd be no people around, and there were people around. Some fishermen spotted their sub apparently, and they killed all the fishermen, and punctured their lungs and sank them to the
Starting point is 00:18:29 bottom of the ocean, and then left the country, supposedly without planting their gear because they just killed a bunch of people. So a huge, huge owl of an operation did not work out. And then some guy leaked that this week. So that's come out. That's a big story. How many people were in the fishing boat?
Starting point is 00:18:46 They didn't really say. They said fishermen, though. So I was in my, I don't, I think maybe I might be conflating two different events. I think I'd be thinking 11 people on that Venezuelan ship that we took out from the air or whatever. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, those civilians from, from Venezuela. Dude, that's the crazy thing. Like, maybe my number's a little off here, but I think there's like 5,000 Marines and like a dozen warships down there surrounding Venezuela right now. If this was civilization, I would think war was imminent if I'm Venezuela.
Starting point is 00:19:17 They're practicing, what is a beach landing called? Is there a word for that? Anyway, they're practicing beach landings in Puerto Rico right now. And my dumb ass is like, are we practicing invading Venezuela or do we just always practice beach landings? it looked like a big operation the pictures I saw but then again pictures I can be fooled
Starting point is 00:19:39 it seems pretty retarded to want to cause even more destabilization in the area where we already have a migrant crisis focus your efforts on Canada and Greenland Canada and Greenland places I actually would go not Venezuela
Starting point is 00:19:55 yeah that is really really stupid like there are other ways to handle other than like invading Venezuela. I don't think we'll invade Venezuela, but who knows? There's no telling. But that's fucking insane.
Starting point is 00:20:08 Because that's just going to displace more people. And then it's just like we already have enough of this migrant crisis, this problem with the illegals. Don't create more. I think they're trying to in some way I think this would help the, they think this would help the migrant crisis. They're going for regime change. They're trying to take Maduro out.
Starting point is 00:20:26 Maduro then mobilized their militia or something like that. I don't know exactly what they call it. And I was like, Not the Venezuelan militia. And then they're like, it numbers 8 million. He's mobile. It's like 15% of their total population or something has been mobilized. Oh, well, then it can't be that good of an army.
Starting point is 00:20:42 15% of them. It's 1.5 million men he's mobilized for the defense of Venezuela. I've got like 300 in my head. What do you do? I'm an ice cream salesman. What do you do? These 300 soldiers are the only soldiers here. That's probably what it is.
Starting point is 00:21:00 Just think about it. Think about it if 15% of American males in 2025 were like in our army, in our military, there's a lot of fats, a lot of tards, a lot of people. I'd be like, bro, I got drone operator all over me. I brought my own controller. My numbers were wrong. My mad cats died and I killed someone in the cousin. So they didn't mobilize 1.5 million militia members.
Starting point is 00:21:26 They mobilized 4.5 million militia members. So I don't care who is. is. I don't care if it's Philly's fans with guns. 5,000 Marines are in trouble. They're outnumbered 1,000 to 1, a thousand to 1, not 15 to 1. I like our odds. We're not going to invade Venezuela with 5,000 Marines. That would, that just, that doesn't even make sense. It does if you're trying to just go and kill their president, arrest him, and then put, and then take the other president out of jail or wherever he is and prop him up as the, is the, it's the, it's the, is the new puppet master.
Starting point is 00:22:03 America has a successful history of regime change in other countries. What could go wrong? Always. This is the time we're going to get it. This time we'll do it right. In Trump, we trust. We're like the,
Starting point is 00:22:15 we're the bills. Just doing it again every single time. If there's anyone I know who has all the details sorted out to make it successful this time, it's Donald J. Trump. He'll get handled. Because thank God there aren't enormous issues that need handling right now here
Starting point is 00:22:32 that we... I don't like that argument now. Like, what's he supposed to... It's not like he's going to pick up a hammer and go, like, start fixing the fucking door on a barn somewhere. Like, he's handling what he needs to handle. You know what I mean? You want him to go Jimmy Carter mode? Yeah, like, we don't need him building houses for
Starting point is 00:22:48 Habitat for Humanity. Trump needs to be right there focused on what he's focused on, which is Venezuela. Getting the focus away from his clear pedophilia ties. It's by the way, I think the... the Epstein thing is all made up. So the Epstein birthday drawing letter got leaked.
Starting point is 00:23:05 Did you see that? Oh, yeah. It's clearly a drawing of a prepubescent girl, all right? And when I saw it, I was like, I know what the comment for top comment will be. It will be, this is not a picture of a grown sexy woman the way that, like we've probably drawn doodles of sexy women, like in high, I don't know, high school for sure, right? And you'd see them all over the bathroom. Big old titties.
Starting point is 00:23:27 Big old tities is the, wah! You get out the bold sharp. for them titties. It's got some little, it's a, it's clearly a naked 13 year old girl he's drawn and I went to the top comments. Sure enough, everybody's like, that's not an adult woman he has drawn there. That is clearly a little girl's boobies that he's drawn. That's like a 13 year old girl. My first instinct when I heard that criticism was to sanewash it. Like just between my own ears, right? Not talking to anyone. And I'm like, well, we're the room for bazonkas in this document, you know, because it's like a poem he's writing about how
Starting point is 00:23:59 Enigmas never age and how they both keep secrets and shit like that. And I'm like, well, maybe between the lines, all he could do were like little little little little itty bitty titties. No, no, there was plenty of room for some bazauncas in that picture. He just drew a peeprepressant girl. He could have put big old titties on it and he didn't. Yeah, I think that's probably real. That's like 80% real in my book.
Starting point is 00:24:22 Although today or yesterday another picture was released and it's like Epstein, a girl who's face is blurred and another guy holding a giant check signed Donald J. Trump for $22,500 and it's apparently like evidence that Trump bought that girl and it's like, man, I don't know about this when it's all blurry. I don't know
Starting point is 00:24:43 they use publishers clearinghouse checks to buy slaves. It was. It for real was. Have you seen this? This picture? I haven't seen this picture. It's like you described as a publishing clearinghouse style check. It's for a fully depreciated woman.
Starting point is 00:24:59 Which I'm not sure if that means she's a slut or she's older. I thought it meant she was older. No. She's been divergenized. You know, see, you got to swim in the same circles as me. Were you buying underage girls? Okay. Come on, it's clear.
Starting point is 00:25:15 You got to be it. I don't think it's real at all. Yeah, I don't think this is that you wouldn't take a photo of you buying someone. Who knows? Maybe you get so bold with it. Oh, you know, your buddy Jeff's all about it. it. The birthday book was like full of references to Epstein and his sex life, like just how he likes the little girls. Everybody knew it and seemed to be okay with it, if not in on it. Like it is not a, that's the thing that gets me.
Starting point is 00:25:45 Like, I think a lot of people are acting like this is a, I don't want to say witch hunt because there's no such thing as witches, but like this is targeted at Trump. No, this should be targeted at every John who worked with Epstein. That's what their generation did, regardless of who it is. I'm sorry. That's what their generation did, though. They got themselves a 13 or 14 year old girl, you know? Honestly, like, whenever you go to, it is kind of true. Like, in the 50s and 60s, like, it seemed like having yourself a 13-year-old, 14-year-old girlfriend, if you were a person in power was just completely acceptable.
Starting point is 00:26:20 Like, for real, like Jerry Lee Lewis. That guy, I think married his 13-year-old cousin. They wrote songs about it. And then saying it in front of people. Oh, all those rock stars have like songs about like 16, 16 year old cherry pie and shit like that. And it's, uh, who was the, I watched a, I saw a picture the other day. And it was like 29 year old James Woodson and his 13 year old bride. He's reading the Bible tour.
Starting point is 00:26:45 And it looks like his daughter sitting on the ground cross like while he reads the Bible tour. And it's like teaching her to read. They went on to have seven children together. To me, like these people like Jerry Lee Lewis, Jerry Seinfeld, Carl Maloney. alone. They're always villainized from every time I've ever heard this. Elvis Presley. Modern times. But no way. I'm not modern. Right? Like me as a child heard about how inappropriate Elvis Presley's relationship was. Jerry Lee Lewis's relationship was. Did Elvis have a young? I didn't know about Elvis. I'm almost bought. Let me Google it.
Starting point is 00:27:19 I guess I don't know much about Elvis. Let's see. Presley was in a long relationship with Priscilla Presley, his wife. when she was 14 and he was 24. Boom. And no one thought that was okay in 1978. Eh, I mean, you know, and was doing anything about it. That's close enough.
Starting point is 00:27:40 But then I guess, no one does anything about it now. They're like circling the wagons to protect these people. I feel like 30 years from now, they could have the same conversation. Like, yeah, I was kind of normalized back in 2025. No, we all think it's terrible,
Starting point is 00:27:54 but they just get away with it. Well, it's like powerful people don't get in trouble for anything. Like you hit an apex of power. Like, and it like it is clear that they're trying to use the Epstein thing against Trump, like to single it on him because that's just good political tactics if you're on the left right now. Like he is seemingly implicated in a lot of this shit. And so why wouldn't you hammer that? But I agree that like there's, I think if I think it's so much bigger than we even understand. Like it's not just Trump.
Starting point is 00:28:25 It's most of. these high level people like and so they will they will screech and shriek about oh when when i get guess what when this guy gets in power i'm releasing all the pedophile things and then it's like they get in power and they don't and it's like why didn't they well it's not because it suddenly wasn't useful it's that like they're compromised also maybe to a lesser extent maybe greater but you'll be fun if i was on the right if this does reach the tipping point taking a step back nixon was filled with supporters he looked like he was going to get away with it and then like one by one the supporters started peeling off and it was like a damn breaking first it's a trickle then it's a spake and then
Starting point is 00:29:06 it's a you know big issue if that happens to trump and first it's a trickle and then it's you know clearly headed in that direction and then all the republicans flip on them they should say are bad he was a democrat at the time that's the line we forgot about his democratic way back in the 80s that's true that's true I'm gonna write that down he was he was raping children and attending Clinton weddings
Starting point is 00:29:35 we forgot about his past when he found conservatism he got clean got married and had a whole family like clearly and then led our country to just the golden age we're definitely not in a year three
Starting point is 00:29:49 of a recession oh did you see the the jobs thing that came out Like from the last two years of the Biden admin, they retroactively removed it was 1.5 or 1.7 million jobs. Just not real, not jobs. Like we've been, lots of people have been saying this. But like we're in a recession now. Like it's been, I think it was three years ago when they changed the definition of recession to be like to add an additional quarter of like, well, growth rates. Yeah, of downturn. Where they were like, actually this historic definition is very. not politically expeditious right now so we're changing the definition and it's like but we are like it wasn't always two negative quarters in a row it was it was two and then they made it made it three or something and it'll be four it need be and this is like 20 22 and this is like it wasn't a you know it was a trump and biden thing but bigger than that because it was the covid shit that uh you know printing all that
Starting point is 00:30:47 money destroying half of small businesses like all of that caused it i printed that money and it didn't go where it needed to go. There was so much fraud and waste. It was just like the bucket had so many holes in it. The PPP was not getting put out. You know, you, that's what I meant. I picture. I picture like guys carrying buckets to a fire that was the economy and just there's so many holes by the time they get to the people that actually needed a PPPE loan or whatever it was. PPP, PPP, three Ps. I think it was P. Three Pes. I'm not sure enough to. As they call it on the inside, you know, that those people weren't even getting it. I just hear about like millionaires who got
Starting point is 00:31:25 huge amounts of money and Roger Taylor Green didn't lay it back. Yeah. And then they and then a lot of them get forgiven. Dude, there was a there was a giant account on social media a couple of years ago that was like that was aggregating them and showing like some of the more ridiculous ones.
Starting point is 00:31:41 And there was some person who it was just a guy who had an LLC called Dodge Hellcat LLC and he bought a Dodge Hellcat. And then he had that forgiven. So we just got to, we bought that guy who died out. Why did we not take out one of those loans? And look, just to be safe, just invest it.
Starting point is 00:31:59 Because we have a mutual fun. And if they wanted it back in three years, like, hey, hey, that turns out, you should have never gotten that money. Ah, our bad, here it is back. And we just keep the fucking interest. Would it work? Yeah, that shit was crazy. I got about property with it. And then, oh, man, what a mess our government is. It's embarrassing. And it's not, there's not a good guy. There's not like this, It's not like the Democrats over there like, oh, just go our way.
Starting point is 00:32:23 And things will be bright and sunny. I don't think it will be. I think you're all corrupt. I think half of you are corrupt, the rest of your compromise. And then there's like one or two Mr. Smiths that went to Washington that are going to get voted out next cycle. You know what I mean? Like whenever they have a vote, they had a vote recently, something about cutting off funding for Israel and maybe four people voted for it. I think MGT was one of them.
Starting point is 00:32:47 It's like the same four every time that vote against the. the Israel stuff. It's like Massey, MTG, and then like two others. Maybe like a... That's a much better rep. M.T. Wait. Marjorie Taylor. Oh, it is Marjorie Taylor Green. It's MTG. I was thinking of Magic the Gathering.
Starting point is 00:33:04 Yeah, that's what I always think of when I hear. Yeah, it's, there's so few people actually standing up for what. And then even the people who show up with principles, you can like watch it, like dissolve out of them over time. Like Bernie Sanders in like 1980 was like, don't fall for open borders this Coke Brothers trick to bolster
Starting point is 00:33:25 the elite billionaire class and the oligarchs with cheap labor and it's harming Americans and now he's like just you know sitting there in his coats getting berated by black women on a stage just looking weak being like
Starting point is 00:33:38 I promise this time I'm not going to give the buddy to the DNC I gave the buddy to the DNC and it's like you just son of a bitch like this is why like there there really is no one genuinely on either side that I try it's it's all of normal it's normal people against elites that's on the genuine things I've been watching Marjorie Taylor Green and she has in my
Starting point is 00:33:59 opinion been making a lot of like scrupled moral based decisions right she's like I guess for the Epstein files being released she's apparently against Israel like I don't think that she has suddenly found any kind of morality I think that she's predicting that Trump becomes unpopular and getting out away from his shadow. That's my guess. I think she's a very shrewd operator. She plays a dumb person when she pretends
Starting point is 00:34:29 the Democrats controlled the weather and sent a hurricane into North Carolina or that Soros has a space laser that started the fire in California. She pretends she cosplays a Cuban-on idiot. But she's actually very clever. And enough people have said, hey, behind closed doors,
Starting point is 00:34:47 she's a totally different person. She's very smart. She's not playing for cameras and she's on top of stuff. And I think I'm seeing her predict that Trump loses the popularity he still has. It could be that. Y'all remember that's serious green laser over Hawaii. We all saw that. We all saw that.
Starting point is 00:35:06 Oh, did you, you know that giant flood that happened in Texas? Yes. A couple of them. When? The one that killed all the little girls. Yeah. Oh, the recent one. Okay.
Starting point is 00:35:17 Yeah. had recent one. It was this like huge unexpected flood and like a Tim and Eric bit they had like on Texas news the next day. It's like we're here to talk with you know Steve Johnson, the owner of
Starting point is 00:35:31 make it rain weather modification and he's here to tell us that he definitely didn't do it even though he just started working this way and he's like that's something that we really need to make clear is that I didn't change the weather to cause a flood and
Starting point is 00:35:47 this happening right at the time we started operating, you see, we don't, I wouldn't say we're a rainmaker. We're more weather modification. And that's, you know, very, very different. And it was just like funny seeing an interview of a guy like nervous, I definitely didn't flood Texas. And they're like, hmm, interesting. I trust you. I had a different take on that than other Democrats did that thing. So they had several votes to put alarm systems in that like dried riverbed because apparently it occasionally gets flooding, but you don't normally have a hundred little girls die. And they all voted for low taxes small government time and time again. They don't have alarm systems everywhere. They just let rain fall. And in my opinion, it's like you can
Starting point is 00:36:37 have that if you want. But you can't go crying about having a low tax small government. afterwards. You like how Texas has no state taxes? You all love that. Well, they also have a very weak alarm system in case of heavy rain. Those things go together. I've been in areas out there where you'll drive, the road goes over a dried riverbed. Like we stopped and looked down it. It's sand. But the sign next to the road says flood level here. And it's like above your head standing on the bridge. It's like, so when this floods, it goes from a sand, a dry part sandy riverbed to the water will be above the bridge by eight feet because the ground doesn't drink that water up it's so parched it just turns into a concrete spillway and i mean flash
Starting point is 00:37:25 i was in a flash flood in new mexico it was crazy it went from nothing truck floated ours would have floated away if we try the water was over the hood i turned the wheel and sure what was on and i slid sideways and then it found traction and i drove out of the flood turning like floating and turning on your windshield wipers is very funny it was terrible Colin and hopper in the car and jaggy too like we were off-roading in Uri national forest the place we went Kyle oh yeah and uh there's off-roading trails around there and I just got caught in a flash flood and it's fucked up I didn't see like a safe way to get out of it until like I had to had to move but um yeah I get flash floods but I guess in my head it's like
Starting point is 00:38:09 an HOA, right? Like, some people like to have a sort of, I'll call it a big government, even though it's the most local government possible, that make sure that the yards are nice and the mailboxes match. And some people prefer to live out on their own. But, you know, they voted for that. Sorry, your kids die. I wish there was, I hate HOAs because they're always abused. And, and I think that that's a perfect, like, paradigm for how politics is, ends up being evil anyway. Because the smallest version of government immediately becomes full of corrupt tyrants and that's just Bill
Starting point is 00:38:45 who owns like the parts store down the road and all of a sudden he's standing there I'm a member of the HOA I'll have you know I'm the I'm the fucking chancellor of Miller Street just so you know who you're talking to yeah let me hit it back so I agree that can
Starting point is 00:39:00 happen and we've all heard about stories of it and read it's filled with HR I lived in an HOA for like 20 years it wasn't like that at all every so often they'd send me a letter and say, what are your mailboxes are rotting, rusted embarrassment? And I'd be like, touche. I got me. I did hate that there was like an approved mailbox vendor. And it was three, it might have been two. It was between two and three hundred dollars. It was wildly priced. It was a really good mailbox. But I went to Home Depot to find like a comparable one. And
Starting point is 00:39:31 they're like, no, that's not a matching mailbox. And you don't even have the brass straps across the top of it like that you have to get the right one. I was like, well, that was $16 wasted. I guess I'll spend $250. I would want the most basic of H-O-A. Like grass can't be over something, like six inches maybe in your yard. You know, like, because I feel like six inches gives you a little leeway if you skip a week or two and like something happened, but also it keeps the Indians out.
Starting point is 00:39:57 Those people who just don't believe in grass gutting and the weirdos from Reddit who don't believe in the lawns, they grow like a like swamp grass all in their front yard. This is how it should naturally be. Fuck you. I don't care. There shouldn't naturally be a brick house that you're living in right there either. Dummy. Got your grass like a normal American, like a human being and make it look decent.
Starting point is 00:40:16 But you need an HOA if you're going to have a neighborhood pool. Otherwise, that pool is a... Oh, I don't want a neighborhood pool either. Like, I've never used mine. That thing is not a place you want to go. I'm okay with the urinary swim. Oh, it's not... I'll just stop.
Starting point is 00:40:32 You don't want to go to the pool. It doesn't matter how nice your neighborhood is. You don't want to go to that pool. I would never... I've looked at those pools before. I don't want to mix with those people. It depends how nice your HOA is, how good the neighborhood is. Every time I drive by mine, it looks nice and clean and everybody's behaving.
Starting point is 00:40:51 And then I've only used the tennis courts like three times ever, and I've never used the pool. And every year, they're like, you thought last year's fee was crazy. How much is your HOA fee? It's like $1,100 a year. that's a lot more I think ours was 20 if it wasn't 22 it was $28 a month
Starting point is 00:41:15 It was monthly Like a couple houses ago It was a month They took it out monthly And it was like maybe 50 Like $60 something like that And there was two or three tennis courts A playground and a pool
Starting point is 00:41:27 And I didn't use any of that shit But I guess it was nice to have there But I didn't mind 50 bucks It did keep all the mailboxes right and it did keep the grass cut I remember they tried to hit I got my grass cut one time by a professional
Starting point is 00:41:41 grass cutter you know I don't know what guy you pay out of the yellow there's no yellow pages anymore when you yellowpages.com and like they were like ah it's not good enough I'm like I paid him to do it I'm not going to pay a fine to you now I refuse I refuse we can go to court if you want here's my receipt
Starting point is 00:41:57 take the house if need be take the house I'm not paying it Dude, I'm getting like, I had to, like, two Thursdays ago, I left my card at Chipotle, I had to cancel it because we were starting the show and I didn't have time to run back. And like, I know it's the Kyle trick of just doing that every couple of years to like make sure no subscriptions keep going. But like every single subscription service, like some of them important have been like emailing me like, we've, you haven't paid for water yet this month. And I'm like, well, I haven't got the fucking card yet. I'll do a personal card
Starting point is 00:42:34 Oh Well maybe I should do that I hate it when that I have to do it twice I have to redo that I call the customer service people I'm like you have to understand I can make this right It's not that I don't have money
Starting point is 00:42:48 It's just that I don't pay my bills Stop nagging me I had a service like That I come out like once a year For termite stuff to like make sure there's no termites and they called me about what's going on with Zach's phone
Starting point is 00:43:06 he's been kidnapped this is the Guatemalans I think he just made a mistake oh yeah but yeah I just I really need that fucking card to show up I've got so much stuff I need to sign up for who do you bank with pay for B of A
Starting point is 00:43:19 Bank of America oh I stopped doing them I had a at a dispute with them one time and I stopped they I went and deposited they've always been good with me when I was 18 or 19 and I had zero money. I opened the Bank of America a checking account and I'd had it for like
Starting point is 00:43:36 three months and I was keeping a low balance. I'm living paycheck to paycheck. All my rent would eat up my whole money sometimes and I went to deposit a check and it was a decent amount of money. It was I don't know, $3,000 or something. I finally made a little money and I'm like, hey, when will this be available to me? Like I have my debit card, my right hand and I have this $3,000 I'm giving you to put in there and the debit card eats out of that. When will that? be good and she's like oh immediately so i'm like oh great i go to the gas station fucking red bull swipe come back a little while later pack a cigarette swipe the gas station is so close to my work that you just walk and step across the fence and go when you want something off the car lot i swiped it like
Starting point is 00:44:16 eight times in 24 hours and it was $50 overcharge every fucking time that they're hitting me with or something like that and it's like man this this $400 is everything to me right now like this is what i'm going to eat on this month this is this is my life what have you've done done to me. And so like got a big dispute with them. So I've been doing, I think Wells Fargo. Did they waive it all? No. No, no, no. I, no, I switched banks after that. Like, it only, after three months, you've switched to Wells Fargo and they've been good ever since. Wells Fargo has been great. Whenever there's a mistake or a snafu, which hasn't happened often, but like whenever there's anything, they're like, oh, we'll fix that for you. Oh, and it's
Starting point is 00:44:52 fixed. There you go. Again, what else can I help you with today? I'm like, fucking great. Also, I appreciate that you don't have an accent that's that I can't understand that this call centers in America. Is that Wells Fargo that's better for you? For me, yeah. But it's not like I've tried them all or anything. I started off with a little town bank in Livonia called Pinnacle that has like maybe three, four branches.
Starting point is 00:45:12 That was nice because when you called like, you know them. The people who answer the phone, it's like, hey, is Diane there? Because she's my banker. And like Diane oh yeah, I see, there's a little mistake here. We'll fix that and wave this and you get your free checks and everything was just kind of nice to deal with a local
Starting point is 00:45:28 small tiny bank that cared about you. but that does well fargo's nice though for being a multinational global bank and having all the things that come along with that I was going to say I've never had like a problem with my bank but like I also haven't really
Starting point is 00:45:44 had the opportunity to have a problem yet like nothing has gone that awry like I've never been hammered with overdraft fees or anything like that you ask for favors no no so I guess I really pay for checks or anything like there's little things they can do
Starting point is 00:46:00 like obviously if your account balances i get free checks if i want checks but i've never taken them up on it like if i needed to like you never had need for a check well when i do i just like it's for something like the down payment on my house or like something big like i'm buying a car like i just go and have them make a cashier your initial 250 checks hasn't worn out i don't know where it is it's probably sitting rotting around you somewhere yeah i i keep a book somewhere Every now and then I'm buying something that requires you just to give them banking information to buy, like for security reasons. I can't think of a good example. Oh, I think maybe, I think I financed like a couple thousand of my motorcycle.
Starting point is 00:46:40 So I just have something on my credit report. And I think I had to use my bank account for that, maybe. They wouldn't take any sort of card. But yeah, I like Wells. Yeah. I don't even how to tell the story that being asshole. I think it's a retail, but. when they pull my name up at Wells Fargo it's in a different font because I have money in the account
Starting point is 00:47:00 and it's like bold apparently there's a bold red that is a level higher than me that's what the banker told me and I'm not that guy but it does like show up in a special font so whenever I'm at the bank and like they're like I cashier's check that'll be this much and I'm like I really like it when they're free and then they pull me up and they're like ah okay mr. Woodworth we can do that It's like, what a bunch of warship? If you have money, they don't charge you. What the fuck is that about? I think I got into that sort of like, whenever I sold that house, I deposited the entire amount into that account.
Starting point is 00:47:37 And they put me a couple hundred thousand dollars. And so my check account suddenly had several hundred thousand dollars in it. And they're like, oh, you're Mr. Myers now, not aisle anymore. You get a metal card. And of course, then I delineated that all that big chunk of money. where it needs to go. Some got invested. Some went here and there. And they never dropped me down to like junior level guy who's just got a few thousand dollars or whatever in his checking account because why would, I don't
Starting point is 00:48:03 need that much money in my checking account or whatever. They never took that away from me. So I'm Mr. Myers when I call Wells Fargo and they haven't figured out that I shouldn't be yet. That's great. He's wearing that top hat and monocle in there and they'll never realize. I wonder if there's like an even higher level. level where you get like the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the chiller font. There's absolutely like, where it looks kind of like, or wingdings. I heard some investor. I don't fucking hate this guy.
Starting point is 00:48:33 All right. The whole page has like, what does this say? No exist, maybe? I don't know. There's more triangles than I'm used to reading. I heard some investor tycoon type guy tell a story once on a, uh, a financial podcast about he got a black card, so he had no limit. And it was. 1% back on purchases too
Starting point is 00:48:54 and he bought a building with it like a $25 million building with it on his credit card and they're like you can't do this and yes I can and by the way and he's explaining to the podcast he's like so that man I didn't have to pay interest for the first 90 days you know what monthly interest is in a $25 million building and also you get 1% back
Starting point is 00:49:17 you know what 1% of $25 million is I'm making money on this piece. That's a pretty good deal. Good for him. There's like this guy who makes financial content that comes across my feed every so often on Twitter and he's like this heavier guy who is sitting there like doing a podcast.
Starting point is 00:49:40 He might be short. I don't know. But he's like, it's just finance and he basically like sits down with some just beyond financially irresponsible person. and we'll be like, all right, so how old are you? And he'll be like, I'm 41. It's like, all right. And what are your savings?
Starting point is 00:49:56 He's like, zero. He's like, all right. And do you live in a house? No, an apartment. It's like, okay. And what do you do for work? And he's like, on and off Uber driver. It's like, how much debt do you have?
Starting point is 00:50:07 And it's like, well, I still have my student loans, but I never actually graduated. And it's like, it's the most absurd shit. I saw one lady on there. It's not Dave Ramsey. No, no, this is a young guy, a younger guy. I don't remember his name. He was talking to one guy. He was talking to one guy.
Starting point is 00:50:20 girl who like it was like a marriage actually was a married couple and it was like so both of you have car payments over a thousand dollars each and you're a disabled veteran yeah and your stay at home with no kids it's like okay well you know you guys need to kind of get real here like you need to take a look at it it's crazy it like makes me feel so much better watching that being like oh at least i'm not like totally out of control like these like i can't i can't imagine the stress i would have every second of every day if i was that like exposed finding like at one thing could like turn your whole life apart tear it apart i see dave ramsie clips where the people the combined house the income is like 420 000 a year and they're living paycheck to paycheck
Starting point is 00:51:12 and they're leveraged like so bad that like one bad if if we were out of work for a month the I would fall. Like it's like how do we how do we get our hands around this? He's like what are you talking about? Dude you you make 300,000 and she makes 125 and you can't make ends meet. Where do you live? How many cars do you have? And he just starts adding it up and it's piling up. People are financing cars for 84 months. That's crazy. I see I remember so I was a junior accountant at my father's firm and he came in and it was the year that Bill Clinton raised taxes on the highest bracket from I forget, maybe 31 to 38. If that's not perfect, he's close.
Starting point is 00:51:51 And he was complaining. Now, I'm sitting there quietly and learning, like, how this has done. I'm not, like, involved in the conversation. And he was genuinely moaning and complaining that it was going to be tight for him to keep his second vacation home, not his second home, his third home, his second vacation home. And I'm just like, in my mind, I'm being stoic as I can, but I'm thinking, fuck this guy. your problems aren't real problems
Starting point is 00:52:19 yeah it's 100% isn't like that's like the kind of thing you hear what was that movie where Michael Scott is like the finance guy with the fake nose and he's talking yeah he's talking to like a prostitute and he's like wait how many properties do you own and she's like well I have like four houses five I'm thinking about a sixth and he's like on the phone like it's worse than I could have imagined
Starting point is 00:52:41 the whole system is coming down I've never seen that movie I need to watch it. There's a couple of movies about the financial crisis. There's another one that's more insider, I think, that doesn't have him in it. That's, I can't think it's more accurate, the accountant. I think maybe Jeremy Irons is in it. Let me see what it's called.
Starting point is 00:52:58 I just remembered, I had to think of one of the actors, Jeremy Irons. Wait, is it another one like about the 08 collapse? Hmm. It's called Margin Call. And I think that he works, it's inside the boardroom of one of the bigger financial institutions. And Jeremy Irons is like, explaining why he's the CEO and why he makes these decisions. He's like, I can, I, I, I, I figure where the wind's going to blow, not where it's blowing.
Starting point is 00:53:24 And he explains, he's like, sell it all. And sir, it's $180 billion. Sell it all. Sell it all off. And it's just like this evil moment where the crisis happens. Well, I mean, I guess they had to sell it all. It was going to go all fall apart. Like, they gave all those goddamn loans to people who weren't going to make their first payment.
Starting point is 00:53:40 And they knew it. They didn't care. Yeah. But at least we didn't do it all over again. right that's not it's not going to happen did we because i i all i've heard is how difficult it is for people to get their first home and how interest rates are or high or higher than people feel they should be and stuff like that oh right now yeah nobody's really able to buy i saw for the first time of while there's more people trying to sell than buy i saw i saw that too i was surprised
Starting point is 00:54:08 the recent jobs report was bad because the last guy they gave a bad jobs report got fired so i was like, well, I guess that's the end of honest job. Well, I honestly think maybe I'm a fool that they were not very accurate, but they were best effort. And I thought this was the end of best effort job reports, but here came more bad news. So I guess they're still telling truth to power, maybe. Maybe. I mean, I think those job reports, like we just found out that the last two years of the
Starting point is 00:54:37 Biden administration's job reports were totally fraudulent. Like, they use this stuff manipulatively. It surprises me how quickly some of these guys. sell away their credibility and like marker rubio comes to mind i always thought of marco rubio as you know he's republican he's biased but i thought he had scruples i didn't think he would i get bending the knee so to say so to speak to trump in other words like campaigning with him so you can win your district um you know being friendly with him and not attacking him so that your donors won't cut you off i get all of that but like jumping into his administration and
Starting point is 00:55:13 carrying water for his, like, incredibly clear lies, how's that going to play out in four years, Marco, when you try to, like, be the president again? We're going to remember this. Like, all of the people in this administration who are, who are just not just carrying the water, the way that any White House press secretary will, or the way any, I don't know, Secretary of war, not defense, or any cabinet member or anyone, like, in that inner circle, like, Giuliani comes to mind, someone who went from the most beloved mayor in New York, one of the frontrunner maybe at one point for the presidency, to just a joke. Just a walking punchline.
Starting point is 00:55:51 I think Trump gave him the either is going to or did give the presidential medal of freedom. They need to shut that shit down. They're only giving it to like the most annoying people on earth seemingly. Like it doesn't seem like they're like, hey, there's a Marine who saved his whole squad. he gets the presidential medal of freedom. It's always like, here's a career donor to our party who forces American citizens to go die in the Middle East and we're giving him a medal for it.
Starting point is 00:56:19 It's like, okay, sick. We need element 710, Taylor, all right? It's what our faster than light spaceships run on. Oh, I mean oil. I went into hell divers mode there for a minute. We're at the end, so I just want to say, blast on hill divers, been having so much fun. Have you?
Starting point is 00:56:35 Yeah, the new content is really fun. There's a spear gun that shoots ass. I have a question about the gameplay. So I have a friend who's new to Wazdi shooters. He's actually, he's a good Souls player, but he has never played WOSD shooters. He's not a WOSD guy at all. Would Hell Divers be an okay place to start in the same way that I think Left for Dead is an okay place to start? You know, you learn to move and you shoot into crowds mostly.
Starting point is 00:57:00 You don't really have to hit noses like you do in CSGO. Is Hell Divers? So a lot of the heavy enemies, you have to hit in the head. at distance while they're moving and stuff. There's a little bit of like skill involved with the shooting. It's not all spray and prey. And there's also when you're calling in those stratagems, I have the stream deck which does macros for everything.
Starting point is 00:57:20 But if you don't have that, while you're in the midst of being literally swarmed by insects, you have to press one key to bring up an in-game menu and then use your directional keys, you're up down, left, right back to like type in this four, five, six, seven-digit combination to call in things like ammo. another you know weapons air strikes and stuff like that
Starting point is 00:57:42 it's a third person shooter in every regard and it does play really well on the controller from what I understand it has was picturing star Starship trooper scenes where they kind of just shoot into a crowd of bugs there's a lot of that there's a lot of shooting into crowds of bugs but there's also a lot
Starting point is 00:58:00 of if you're going to play at any kind of a difficult level heavy enemies that have to be shot in the head with weapons that are kind of single fire weapons where if you miss, it's like, all right, well, I don't have a rocket anymore because that had one shot in it. Now we have to just, oh, it killed me. All right, I'm dead. I'm dead. And a lot of the heavies now, there are these dragons that fly around. The spawn rate on the dragons is insane. Every three minutes is another dragon. And it insta kills you if you don't have
Starting point is 00:58:26 the right armor. If you don't know what you're doing, if you're not prepared to be firebreathed by a dragon, you just instantly die. And you have to shoot those things right in the head with a rocket launcher and it's it's hard it's hard especially at the higher difficulties it's like hard nazi zombies with specials mixed in i would i would say it's a full on third person shooter yeah it might be a little tough for your first wazd thing if you're also having to like pull your hands off and type in little codes for ammo replenishment and whatnot and calling it like when your friend dies you have to that's the way you revive him you know that's where you bring it he basically just bring another clone down from the ship but you have to
Starting point is 00:59:06 and like call him in and the macros again that I'm using are on the stream deck take care of all that but if you don't have that you're at a real disadvantage my my game right now which is night rain comes out with a hard mode tomorrow night but the thing is it's been out in the client just inaccessible except unless you modded it and that's what I did I downloaded the mod I've been playing it for a week bro it is hard hard mode and I like I don't brag my friends and I are nice at the game right we can win every time the only time we ever lose in this game at this point is if we're doing challenge rounds like all right everyone do spellcasters no one gets to cast spells melee only like that kind of shit maybe we'll take a loss but uh we could win as much as we wanted to there a new like extra hard boss drop recently I'm on reddit guys are like 82 tries 80s 80s two losses. This is impossible. My squad, first try, and second try, and third try.
Starting point is 01:00:08 Like, we're good. In this new hard mode, we're not good anymore. We're getting our shit pushed in. What do they do to make it harder? Did it? More health? Or specifically, did they shrink the, like, zone where you have to parry or dodge? Do they make that more difficult?
Starting point is 01:00:25 No, it's straight up. The damage the enemy's deal is harder. and the damage that you deal is less, both of those things. And this is a game that really rewards navigating the map well and melting bosses quickly. So every time you beat a boss, you pick up something.
Starting point is 01:00:43 It might be a better weapon. Maybe you get a little more health. You certainly can level up your character. And you want to melt as many of those as possible so that by the time you get to the last boss, your character is Superman. But when it takes three times as many hits and a single hit kills you
Starting point is 01:01:00 now you have to play extra cautiously and get triple the amount of hits and by the time you get to the final boss your character's shit you're lucky you made it there at all sometimes we don't and it is a whole new experience and I'm simultaneously
Starting point is 01:01:16 enjoying the get good grind again and feeling like well this is just unfair I was playing solo and I'm at the end of the night and I'm having a good run. I'm level eight, which for hard mode is pretty strong.
Starting point is 01:01:33 And there's a bat right outside the circle, just a dumb ass bat that is like absolutely. It's a trash mob. And I use my grapple hook. I pull the bat. He one-shots me and kills me, and my run is over. I'm just like,
Starting point is 01:01:48 motherfucker, a single trash mob killed me. I'm so good. That's good. That'll keep you interested in it for a while longer then. That would have sucked even worse. if the hard mode was like 5% harder. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:02:02 You were like, oh, fuck. There's five levels of this. They call it the deep mode. And on the first level, it's fine. It's only a little bit harder than the base game, and we more than have it. The second level, we also win. The third level, we've won. We're like one and of every five games.
Starting point is 01:02:17 We went on level three. Level four, we're like, oh, and seven. I don't know. And level five, I've only played solos. And I'm Owen, however many times I've tried. Is that you're playing tonight, a little more grinding? So I'm playing the mod, which is unfortunate. So any like improvements I made to my character are going to be lost.
Starting point is 01:02:37 But tomorrow night it drops for real. And then I intend to just try to make my character better, get my arms around the meta. I'm looking forward to seeing what the best players in the world do, how much they, because there's a gap between me and the best in the world. But like, see what I can learn from them, what they think. think the meta is and if it works for me, stuff like that. It's a whole new grind. Nice. I know Jackie's in the Lego,
Starting point is 01:03:04 right? She is. She mentioned the Star Trek Lego that's on the horizon? No. Is it a movie or a set? It's a set. So maybe she doesn't know about it. That'd be a good gift. I know she's like Star Trek as well. There's a whole Star Trek Lego thing coming out.
Starting point is 01:03:21 I wouldn't mention that. Oh, and also the newest episode of Star Trek made me cry. Really? I can't wait to watch it. I bought Jackie's birthday was two days ago, and she said, I got her the best present she's ever received. What did you get her? So before we get to that, she's hard to buy it for her. Right?
Starting point is 01:03:42 Like, it's not like she doesn't have a sweater, right? It's like if she wants a sweater, she just buys it. She's not in need of like, she's got capes up the wazoo. Capes out the wazoo. She does. She's all set in capes and sweaters. And it's not like there's some utility that she didn't know she needed. Like, oh, my God, a knife.
Starting point is 01:04:05 Oh, great. So I bought her a book. But it wasn't like a book you just read. It was like 50 prompts about what she means to me. Like, my fondest memory of you is this. The thing I'd like to do again with you is this. When I first met you, I felt this. And then I just spent hours like filling out this, I don't know, 50 pages worth of
Starting point is 01:04:25 book. And I gave her that and some flowers and that's it. Costs like $11. And apparently she loves it. Like she came home yesterday after, she takes a column of parkour and then she's home for like 20 minutes and then she picks him up. And she used that 20 minutes. She's like, I'm going to read 10 pages of that again and just soak it in. So that's a great gift. That's a good idea. She liked it. Yeah. Good for you. That's worth way more than just buying more money or to her it is. Right, right? Like, like, I mean, if she didn't need a winter coat and didn't have one, then maybe that would be the boom. But for her, she's fine winter coat wise. Would you, how upset would you have been if she treated it like a non-intimate personal book? And she, like, you just see it on the coffee table. And she's like, I just couldn't get into it. Right, right. I was really fell apart about halfway through. I don't understand the character's motivation. I thought there was a risk. It could be a miss. Right. Like, if I drew her a picture, she'd be like, oh, thanks for that.
Starting point is 01:05:30 That is the, please do that one of these, like, like, like, like, your really sincere best effort, but it's still like, you're like, there's a macarone, he's gluing. You make her out of macaroni. Dude, a macaroni version of Jackie is hilarious. I know you love where I got you last year and I think I've topped it It says you like use your left hand To write with a crown like
Starting point is 01:06:03 To put Woody at the bottom That would be very funny Yeah I was afraid that it would be like Received along those lines But she actually liked it so No that's awesome idea good for you Yeah Yeah check out the new Star Trek
Starting point is 01:06:19 I think you'll like it I did I don't think my girlfriend liked it because she didn't like the character that it's centered around. She doesn't like that character, but I loved it. I'll take that level of spoiler. Who's it centered around? Ortegis, the, the, the Latino pilot with the lesbian haircut thing going on. She's got some PTSD that she's trying to work out from the gorn, and she gets up,
Starting point is 01:06:42 she goes on this little adventure on her own. And like, I swear I got three quarters of the way through the show, I could tell what direction things are going in. And I'm like, all right all right I heard as much as I'd like to so I can't wait I guess that's it
Starting point is 01:07:02 yeah dinner time pk n 577
