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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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
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.
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
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.
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,
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
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
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.
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
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.
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
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
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
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?
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.
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.
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
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.
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
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
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
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.
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
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.
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.
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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
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?
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.
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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,
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
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
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.
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.
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
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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,
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.
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
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
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
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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
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
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,
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.
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.
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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.
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
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
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
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.
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
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.
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
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.
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
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
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.
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?
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?
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.
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
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.
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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
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
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
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
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.
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?
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.
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
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
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.
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,
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.
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.
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.
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,
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.
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?
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.
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
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.
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
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
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,
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
yeah dinner time
