Not much.
Have you heard of Dayton James Weber?
Are you familiar with this name?
Oh, three names.
He must have done something.
Did he assassinate someone?
Because that's usually the three name thing.
You know, you guys are pretty good at this game.
A professional cornhole player and quadruple amputee
has been formally charged with murder
and multiple related offenses in a deadly shooting on March 22nd, 2026.
So you mean,
O.J. Gimpson.
Have you heard of this guy at all?
I heard about this story. You've got to fill me in.
First of all, how does a quadriplegic...
And by the way, for anyone who hasn't seen a picture of this guy,
he's not missing like an inch of his hand or like just the hand
and he's got these long, pointy nubs that he can become a professional
cornhole player. He's like a torso with like little sticks sticking out of it,
like peg legs, like a pirate joke. I don't know how he could even
play cornhole, much less be a champion at it. And on top of that, how did he shoot someone?
And my understanding is, he disposed of the body some. Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh. Look at that.
I do not see the videos of him shoot. He has like a little nubbin on his right stump.
Don't go on. I'm going to jam in there. Kyle, I have a question for you. But my friend and I
watched this video, and we thought the trigger guard on that pistol might be bigger than normal.
Do you now have any insight? You don't think it is.
It is bigger than normal, but that's how those, I think that's a, it's either a barretta,
or it's like a clone of a barretta, like a 9mm pistol.
So, like, those do have, I don't think so.
It's got that sort of hot dog in a bun look to the barrel and slide that's kind of,
but it's a blurry picture and it's, I can't see too much.
Regardless, the defense can't be loving these videos.
Like, there was a video of him shoot.
So that's how the trigger guard on.
that comes, but it is oversized.
It comes for gloves and tactical
shit. Yeah. Apparently he killed the guy.
You guys have seen him shoot, right?
No, this is all new to me.
Oh, yeah. There were multiple videos of him
No audio, Zach, if you want to show.
Actually, it's peek out. Oh, my God. A little bit of it.
Okay. This is looking
I mean, it's not like he's, you know,
gonna win the competition. Yeah, yeah.
No audio.
Loaded his own magazine. And I wish I could get a good view of the
kind of. I would be surprised.
If you can put the rounds in the mag, that's hard for me.
Oh, yeah, there's no way unless he's doing something with his mouth.
Who knows?
Right, or maybe he has like a stand that holds it and I don't know,
I don't know how durable the end of a nub is.
And that's the whole video.
I bet it's capitalist.
If you guys have never put, I know you guys have,
but if the listeners have never put rounds in a pistols magazine,
like, dude, it hurts your thumb you have to press so hard by the end.
Like it's a job.
Did you guys read the story of what they're accusing him of where he was,
he was driving,
which I can only,
I can only imagine the Rube Goldberg machine of levers,
pullies, and horns to get him,
to get him like moving a car,
but then while driving to turn to the side with his nub,
kill the guy in his passenger seat,
and then he stopped his car allegedly.
And there were two people in the back seat.
And he was like, get the body out.
Get the body out.
And both of them were like, you know, I would if he was a regular murderer,
but he dropped that gun.
We've got a minute, minute and a half if he decides to end us too.
We're not going to get rid of the body.
We're actually going to get out and leave.
And then we're going to walk at a normal pace away and escape easily.
Yeah, we're going to skip away.
But it seems like he did it.
And then I saw yesterday when this came to light, everyone online I saw was like,
seriously, how the fuck would this guy shoot a gun?
And then just all at once,
all these videos came up, even with like some posts from him as long, maybe they were doctored,
but it was him like, can still shoot, going,
like,
he must have been parked.
So,
so he must have been parked when you fired the shot because he's going to need both of his nubs
to fire.
It's a lot of it's a drive-by.
Yeah.
This explains the charge about like transportation of a body or whatever because the body is
already in the truck because I'm picturing how that little guy like gets a body into a car
because I've always thought that like,
movies make that look way easier than I bet it actually would be.
Yeah.
Like, especially if you're not really fit and if they're obese at all.
Like, you throw a kid right in the back of a car, I promise you.
Any one of us would struggle to get any one of us, no, one of the other two into a car if they really would, like, dead weight.
It would be annoying.
I know how to do that.
I think you do that thing where you throw one of their arms like over your shoulder and then you sort of rotate while like squatting.
I've seen it.
Like there's an Army ranger sort of like
how to evacuate a guy thing.
Yeah.
It looks dope.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
They like sort of roll across the body, hook a leg if I remember or something.
Or an arm and carry them.
Yeah.
It's really cool.
I like to think.
I've never practiced that.
And I don't think a dead body's going to help me.
I think we'd all be pretty good at getting dead bodies into cars.
But I just think the average person is not going to be pretty good at it.
And if the person's fast,
no it's not
happen now this little
nub man
I just toss him in the back
like luggage
like a shiricats
absolutely
he's spinning
that guy
he's nothing but a duffel bag to me
I got him covered
what's the story on how he got
all his limbs
amputated
like was he
oh let's guess
motorcycle accident
I was assume motorcycle accident
I mean
if it wasn't a birth
defect
where he was just born like that
better be an easy birth
then
that lady
lost her limbs
from the dog lick infection
huh
yeah but that made the news
his face isn't mutilated
so it can't be like an explosion
God what kind of car accident
just takes all of your limbs
a motorcycle
what if he's an incompetent lathe operator
he got sucked all the way in
his spine was the only
Anything about it.
It's my arms to the lathe.
I learned to do it with my feet briefly.
Should have taken the disability.
Hindsight's 2020.
Yeah.
I don't know.
I don't think it was a congenital.
My eyes,
all the chips.
I don't think it was genetic because it looked like his nubs had been torn or something.
It didn't look smooth.
I guess I would imagine if it was people were born that way,
they would be smooth.
Remember, it was an infection.
a blood infection
that just makes more sense for all of them to be gone
and his like head and body not to be like a mess itself
like I feel like you need something like an infection
to take it. He had a rare and aggressive condition
called septic shock caused by a severe bacterial infection
that led to necrosis in his limbs.
They've progressed rapidly, blood flow was cut off.
Look at that little hero.
God damn, I'm motivated to do something myself.
there on his little bear cat.
For those,
are audio only,
this,
this,
this is a picture of him
as like a,
like a six,
seven-year-old tops.
And he's doing a nub stand
on the handlebars
of a four-wheeler.
Like,
this is cool as shit.
Poor guy.
I choose to believe
he just hit the front brakes
too hard.
What kind of thing?
I mean,
maybe,
maybe.
What kind of prison
do they send his ass to?
I was thinking about that,
too,
because he is nothing but a flashlight in there.
Yeah.
Hey, who's using Markey today?
They'd have to send him to special prison.
There's no way he...
And I want to know what's his side of the story?
Was this a cold-blooded murder?
Was this guy, you know, not pay him for drugs or something?
What was going on?
Because it's odd to kill somebody in your passenger seat with two other people in the back.
What the fuck?
Not a lot of forethought there.
No, no.
maybe he wanted to
like suicide by cop
but then you wouldn't try to hide a body
you're on his friends
and his defense
the victim was super annoying
I wish the victim was also
like de-limbed in some way
that would make this slightly more comical to me
how do you know that
football champion there's no way he can
like whip those nubs fast and hard enough
to get in any distance
it's got to be hand
cornball is a game of like
cornhole
cornhole you're you're lobbing it like so he i saw him do it and it's it seems like the one thing he
could do yeah he does two hands the i haven't seen a lot of pro cornhole i've mostly displayed in
backyards and we usually put the thing kind of far so that you got a you know you got to put some
oof into it like he does one of those little like off the ass momentum jumps when he does it
to get a little while that seems like yeah it's that much harder to sort of coordinate your motions right
Like if shopput was an accuracy contest, they might use a different form.
Yeah.
Man, that would be, his parents like never needed a babysitter.
She's like, we're going out.
They just put his 19 year old ass in like a one of those baby playtons.
Pack and play.
Get out of one.
One of one. Let me out of here.
I swear to God, I'm going to kill someone.
You know what's funny.
The guy he murdered, the two people in the back were only slightly less in danger because they were still in a car with him.
Like I wouldn't have got in a car with that guy.
Even if he was the nicest guy in the world, I'll be like, come on.
It's on me tonight.
I'm driving.
Let me strap you in.
I won't take no for an answer as I've got him slung over my shoulder.
Yeah, man, that's, I'm hoping that maybe that guy did something to deserve it.
He'd killed his dog.
He'd wronged him in some way.
But I could also see, like, you'd have a lot of pent-up anger if you're entirely limbless.
And...
But, I mean, what better life could he have forged for himself?
Professional Cornhole player?
Like, what else are you going to fucking do?
I don't think it pays that well, right?
Like, like, this...
Especially not handicapped cornhole, which he has to be playing.
There's no way he's competing against, like, multi-limbed men.
Well, I guarantee the government's picking up some slack with his level of disability.
They just got them.
Those cars are expensive.
Like, the fact, I knew, I did this charity thing for this, this guy who'd been shot in the neck in Iraq.
And he was all fucked up.
Like, he had the use of, like, one arm, kind of.
And, like, his head and shoulders and a little bit of his torso.
Like, he was all fucked up.
The government, he, he had two cars.
One was, like, like, I can't remember which, it's the supercharged Camaro, the Z-L-1 or ZR-1, whatever it is.
Those are, like, I don't know, $75,000.
And his other, his other cars,
was a brand new like Chevy Silverado Ford or platinum or whatever also and both of them have
been like made into wheelchair cars where like the side of the car opens like a transformer
and scoops your crippled ass up and slides you into it and it was the only source of income
yeah I know they um I think oh I think some charities were helping him a little bit with the vehicles
now that I think about it but it was still like dude you couldn't get this guy like a Ford Arrow star
like like right
He's driving around.
This kid's got like a $300,000 worth of custom vehicles over here.
I mean, I got, thanks for the service and all, but Jesus.
He's bounced all these in.
I'm watching the highlights.
The other guys kind of get, the normal guy is getting it clear to the board.
He is hitting the floor, which I didn't know was allowed.
I guess as long as it gets in the board.
Yeah, yeah.
Well, you know, they slide around sometimes and stuff.
Yeah.
And he makes competing against multi-armed men.
Yes, this guy was totally normal.
afterward this guy even gives a high five
to his right
stump. Oh shit.
Look at him go.
Yeah.
He fences the
bag between his two nubs
and does that like down to up
flick. Yeah. And it seems like
he's shaking the bags to get all
the stands in the bottom. Oh, that's
what he's doing. Yeah.
I'm like, I do not understand this like
pre-taught and probation technique
he has going on here.
I don't care. The title of this video was quadruple amputee and former ACL Pro
Dayton Weber is an unstoppable cornhole player. And maybe he wins this game. But I still say
this is bullshit. There's no way that, like this was his one win ever. And it was a
meaningless win. I bet. I bet this guy beat him like four games to one or some shit. And he
never won anything. Because I just swear to God, he's too fucking crippled to go against
multi-limbed men. There's no fucking way. There's a little bit of skill in that game, clearly.
We've had the debate several times, who are the better athletes, NFL, NBA.
It's definitely not cornhole.
We never go to the Special Olympics.
We never go, oh, look at this fucking basketball player on wheels.
Pete take LeBron.
If they were both in wheels, well, that's actually kind of interesting.
I would like to see the best wheelchair team against an NBA team, but they're all in the chairs.
I think the chair team wins for a while.
Yeah, they might for a bit because did you see a clip?
of we were talking about the flag football shit in the same vein where we were like the flag football team's going to get smoked by the real I disagree carry on and then yeah you were I think correct because I saw a video and these professional flag football guys are playing a totally different sport they're like basically salsa dancing throughout like throwing their hips around spinning when you wouldn't spin if you were a football player because you'd be out of risk because the arm can't read like they're playing a different sport and so these yes well players aren't going to be
I think the flag football team
beat them badly.
Really?
They weren't used to it.
Like, trying to wrap someone up,
get your head on the right side of the body,
and these guys were just dancing.
I saw the Eagles come about to throw a pick six.
Yeah.
Wait, how did they throw a pick six in March?
In the flag football game.
Oh, that's where they threw it?
Yeah.
Only one in the,
in a play, though, because that's a downgrade.
We turned it over twice per play.
time.
That's still one of the most, that stat and that play will be 30 years from now.
It'll be on some YouTube plus video where they like,
ah, and back in 2000, 25.
The one and a billion folly.
Yeah, that's wild.
He loses it twice and won a, one.
That guy was the Super Bowl MVP at the time.
He was?
Yeah.
Yep.
Yeah.
Did you see Alan Richardson, aka Jack Reacher, just going ham on that guy in the
street? No, he got into
a street fight? All right, so there's
a video of the whole thing.
Play the videos, but on mute.
Yeah, try to find the full video that's
Richinson's body cam. So
Richinson is with his two sons
riding motorcycles
in their maybe neighborhood
and they got gear and
helmets on and stuff and houses
are huge. And this neighbor, this white guy
comes sprinting into the road, into his
path, like stop, stop, stop, stop, stop.
Stop.
And, like,
and Richardson loses control the bike and, like,
has to ditch the bike and jump off.
He was going, I think, like,
25 miles an hour,
Chis said.
I didn't look at the speed on it.
He did.
And then, like,
they get into this shouting match,
arguing back and forth,
and it turns physical,
and Richardson begins to defend himself.
And he beats the shit out of the neighbor.
Oh, this is great.
This is got multi-view.
I want to see this.
So he jumps right into the front of it
Oh fuck so he did a stopie
That's what happened okay
Yeah he got thrown over his handlebars it looks like
Mm-hmm
And the guy in blue pushed him
Twice I think
What did
Okay
So what happened with the bike
Richardson is not good on a motorcycle
He picked it up and he grabbed the throttle
I mean he's embarrassingly bad
He should not be teaching his kids how to do this
You know
you know, we're out for a little leisure. Look at the house.
I was better than this on my first day.
Yeah.
I don't know why he saw.
The guy in blue made his,
the guy in blue made his own video where he's like,
and I didn't know he was a movie guy or star or anything,
but this guy's been flying back and forth down the road
and it's dangerous and it's like,
okay, like if you have like a ring doorbell footage of him going 80 or something,
then show it, but he didn't. Look at these uppercut.
Yeah.
He's saying there's no audio, but he's saying,
stay down, stay down.
Three lessons right there.
Look, I ripped on his cycling skills.
He's obviously terrible, but I would be surprised to learn he was driving like a maniac with his children.
That's what I, yeah, like if it happened, it was him alone.
And the other guy was so confident stating it that it was like, well, then show a video of that.
Because all this is recorded, I guarantee these massive mansions have ringed doorbells.
And they could just see this lime green bike going 75.
around kids if he had it
but I haven't seen a video of that yet
this video makes Alan
Richson look correct
Yeah it's great that he's wearing a body cam
That's because at first they showed
an edited version where the video begins
When the beating begins
And it makes it look like Richardson pulled over
And started beating a man
And then wrecked his own motorcycle a little
He did wrecked his own motorcycle a little
But that guy came right out in the middle of the fucking road
Like
Sto in front of the car
I mean, when he grabs the throttle here and
Yeah, it's terrible.
He's a little
pull the clutch.
Like, like, there's another fight.
I can't explain. You see that it's just
in view across the street, sort of?
Yeah, his little dirt bike over there.
Supermodo, but yeah.
Might be the guy throwing the, getting his ass beat.
What a neighborhood. Really nice houses.
Yeah, they're rich people.
But either way, you know,
all this, all this story
that seems like he's going to get
off just fine. He's somebody charges out in the middle of the road to stop you. If I thought someone was
that reckless of a driver, I wouldn't be like, cease, like in the in front of them. And I certainly wouldn't
do it to the biggest man in, like, in America to figure flip over and then, like, hypothetically,
if he had waved him down and wanted to talk to him, I'd be kind of okay with that. Like, hey, this is a
neighborhood, there's families and children all over the place you're going too fast. But for him to,
like basically cause an accident
zipping in front of Richardson,
an unskilled motorcyclist who does a stopie
and falls over the front.
I mean, he created an accident.
Yeah, why didn't he hit his back brakes too?
Like, he doesn't know.
This Richardson guy is not ready for the highway.
He needs to keep in the neighborhood.
That's a good point.
He's right where he needs to be.
He's,
all the bikes look new.
I mean, they are rich, but like still,
like maybe they're all practicing.
Yeah.
I bet they're back there practicing because he's,
He made multiple errors there.
You should be able to make that stop, no problem.
Or just go around him and, like, slap him in the head.
Right, right.
I mean, the fact that he crashes any time he needs to stop abruptly is not a good look.
It's not a good look at all.
Yeah, he should take the MSF course.
Yeah, yeah.
We practiced that.
Yeah, I bet you did.
For beating up that retard for walking out in the middle of the road.
Right? I don't know the whole story. I'm a little sympathetic to the guy who thought he was keeping his neighborhood safe. But he also seemed like he was trying to bully Alan Richardson and good luck with that.
Yeah. They need to post a video of him going 85, wobbling all over the place in the neighborhood. Like even if he'd been doing, if he'd been jumping over people's houses prior to this with a with an evil coneeble setup, you still can't do what he did. There's separate events.
Sure. That's fair. But that would at least lend credence to his like initial bit of umbrage of like,
this guy's been flying around causing problems. And, you know, it still wouldn't justify it. But at least then it would be like,
this guy has been, oh, it would just, you know, it would make Richson look like a dickhead too. But the fact
nobody has come into that blue shirt guy's defense, no ring door cameras of this lime green motorcycle going 100,
wobbling everywhere, weaving in and out of a street hockey game.
Like, come on.
You can rough up pretty good here.
I'm seeing like the after effect.
And he's all bruised up.
I've seen UFC fighters come out, not look this bad.
Well, TMZ just reported, no charges will be filed.
And Reacher's Star, Alan Richson's fight with his neighbor.
There you go.
That guy's just going to have to ice his.
Because the video of the blue shirt guy that he made afterward,
he's got like a big scab up here where he got caught in the forehead and like another little
Shiner under his gym.
I feel like that dude embarrassed his family.
I don't know how to see this other than like he made a really stupid choice, lost a
fight in a really public way.
And he just seems wrong at every turn.
If he was like in the right and lost a fight, you know, sometimes you fight the good fight
and it doesn't work out.
But that's not what I'm seeing.
That's not how it by that.
Reach or kicked your dad's ass.
Actually, I saw it. Check it out.
Your dad's a fag, dude.
I did see like a screenshot and, you know, hopefully it wasn't faked, but of Richson posting on his Instagram, like, don't interrupt your enemy when he make a mistake.
I don't know why I did like fucking Sun Tzu.
I think that's like a Napoleon quote.
But regardless, it's like, all right, we get it, Richson.
You're in the right.
Don't pretend this is 5D chess, though.
Like I jumped out in front of you
And you, you know,
bopped him in the mouth a couple of times.
No, it's Sun Tzu.
It was Napoleon.
Really? I looked it up too.
Did you look it up?
Yeah, I googled it.
And I got a nine-year-old Reddit article
where someone says,
Sun Tzu,
colon, never interrupt your enemy while he is in the...
Oh.
So I see the Reddit article,
but Google AI says it's Napoleon.
Interesting.
Could Napoleon have been quoting Sun Tzu?
It makes sense, I guess.
Scott, like, you know, you miss 100% of the shots you don't take.
Oh, and as I move along, Gwen Gretzky.
Charles E. Mitchell, I guess, was the first person?
I don't know.
Sun Tzuve definitely predates whoever that person is because that person's name is Charles.
Well, but they would be saying that it's misattributed that it was some other guy.
Google AI is wrong about an enormous number of things that they said, although it's
I'm going to say called Quote Investigator.
It is most strongly identified
as a Napoleonic directive.
That's what...
I don't know.
Both of the...
Investigator says that it's Napoleon.
All right, this is thrilling content, but...
Thrilling.
Well, Napoleon, Sun Tzu, shout out.
They were, regardless of who said it, they were both right.
You know, both right and a lot of shit.
So, damn,
that guy's, uh, I think that guy's got to stay home for a little while.
The, the blue shirt guy.
Just let that wall up.
He can't be going to his local whole foods,
all shined up like.
that until he's healed and maybe wearing a maybe wearing a hat.
Kyle, are you gaming right now lately?
I know you sort of had a not not at all.
I think Marathon might be more hardcore than escape from Tarkoff.
Oh, no.
It's, it's hard.
Some days I feel like I'm him,
but I think what's really happened, I have a lot of time in the game.
Like I'm high level.
I have achievements like only 1% of people have.
And I think I'm being matched up with people who have as much time as me,
but they're better than me.
Yeah.
It's like a struggle.
I want to go to the Carebear lobbies where everybody's new and bad,
but I'm up there against like the elites with their gold shields and legendary weapons
and they're just rocking and it's hard sometimes.
And imagine if Escape from Tarkoff had no safe pocket and the extraction areas alerted the
whole map and gave them a minute to come hunt you.
Yeah, I don't like that.
That's a lot.
That extraction thing is difficult to balance the right way.
because it's just so crushing to be extract camp.
But on the other hand, it's kind of fair play in a way.
Like, you know, ambushes happen in real, like, military.
I bet if we were actually in some wasteland called Tarkov,
where we were pitted between the west and the east,
there might be an ambush occasionally.
But the problem is they're just so effective in that game
that, like, your lights get turned out and it's all over.
It's the, like, the best of the best,
what they would call the Chads and Tarkoff.
don't really run around looking for loot.
In Tarkoff, they kind of still do.
Even the great players are like checking the Led X room and such.
In this game, it seems like the top players are just purely hunter killers.
I saw an article.
I'm not quoting.
There was a whole Reddit article about exactly what you're saying, that high-end players don't care about loot.
They don't need, they listed some loot.
I don't know it because I'll play the game.
They don't need this, they don't need that, they don't need the other.
they're hunting.
They're around points of interest,
hunting lower level players with shit gear,
because that's the only way to even come close to the value of what they brought in.
Yes.
And the people who don't play won't understand,
like how bubble shields impact the combat and such.
And they bring in all these self-revives.
Their friends can throw a bubble shield,
a little safety dome on top of them,
so that you can't finish them completely while they self-resive.
They have the super high-end panesives.
anacea kit.
So in five seconds, they're back on their feet at full health.
And it's like, do you know how hard it was to doubt him?
I was lucky to get that far.
And now this mother trucker has a dome of invulnerability.
And five seconds later, he's back on his feet at full health and ready to fight again.
He brought four of them.
Four of them, you say.
I have to kill him five times for it to count.
I don't have any.
I didn't bring any.
I bring them every once in a while.
It's, uh, it's really hard.
some balancing to do.
Skill-based matchmaking, maybe.
I don't know what you do.
You think what you listed there?
So the down state and the return to 100% upright state is a really important thing to balance correctly.
Like the timing of that, the expense of it to the player and the inherent risk of bringing that expensive item in all need to be thought out really hard and balanced out.
Because like you said, like in Tarkov, for example, if I like light you up with an AK,
I shoot you seven times and you live
and like get behind a doorway.
Oh my God.
Are you fucked up?
You've got empty bleeds and bleeds.
You've got broken bones.
You're going to be back there
18 seconds per limb just getting the bones right
or something like that.
And the whole time my character will be yelling and complaining.
You'll hear the surgery kit like you mentioned,
the staple gun and stuff.
But he's also like, oh.
Ah!
And it's like.
And there's a blood troll.
But it's, it is a hard game to dominate, but some people are dominating.
And it just feels in this game, you know, in Tarkoff, they call them chads.
They call them sweats in the marathon community.
And it's kind of, I guess, an insult.
I don't know.
In Arc Raiders, they called them rats.
Dude, stop insulting your betters.
You just got beat.
But anyway, the sweats when we bump into teams like that, it's like, ooh, it's like, ooh,
this is a tough situation.
Every once in a while we are the sweats,
but,
you know,
I'll leave with like four grand on a typical run.
If I burn $3,000 worth of consumables
to earn that $4,000,
I'm not making a lot of money.
And when I lose, I lose $20,000.
Like the economics don't work out for me to do that all the time.
There's a new map called Cryo Archive.
It is the greatest map in the history of video gaming.
It is so fucking unbelievable.
The PVP in it,
The AI, I've never won.
I've never won.
All I do is I go in there with my best gear and I give it to somebody.
But it is so, it's complicated.
It is long.
It is end game.
I'm kind of okay with having lost.
It is only open on weekends.
The idea is you grind all week long.
Get your vault up.
Get your value up.
Get rich.
Bring your best gear into cryo and give it a go.
And the fact that I didn't beat it on the first day or two that I tried it,
I'm okay with that.
I will eventually win at Cryo.
We almost won one time.
But it, I'm kind of excited that they have like this end game super thing.
And the people who like Marathon are like, they were cooking with this mat.
And the whole concept.
I was curious like what the community take is on it.
And I pull up Trout's video, Cryo Archive is the hardest marathon map yet.
He's shitting on people.
But I'm scrolling through his comments and everybody's like, destiny cooked with this one.
Oh my God, best game in the last five years.
And it's just nothing but praise for the map, the game, and the dev.
I watched Shroud's first game.
So in this game, if you disconnect from the server, you get all your gear back.
They like really worked hard to make sure that you didn't get screwed unfairly.
If you lose, you lose.
But if you get screwed, they unscrew you.
It all comes back.
Shroud's playing Cryo Archive.
It's his first time he doesn't know how to extract.
That's how we lost.
The server crashed.
just as he was about to lose all his gear.
And he got everything back.
I'm like, is there a streamer setting or something I can flip on
so that I'm about to lose all my stuff?
And I get it back.
And if you pulled your Ethernet cable.
I don't know.
I'm not sure.
Maybe that would do it.
I've never tried.
I've never done anything like that in any game.
If it meant that I would find out.
I know it wouldn't deny the gear to the enemy,
but that's what I'm about.
I'm about spitefully denying gear to the enemy.
So like when I'm downed, I'll be crawling away, discarding.
And Rust, you can, you're downed and you can still like press tab holding W.
So you're crawling in your tab menu and you're dragging things out of your inventory, like discarding them.
And Rust is a game that's meant to be kind of realistic.
So it's hard to see a pistol in the dirt.
Like it's hard to see like an ingot of silver or whatever in the dirt.
So you're just like crawling as far as it'll let you just discard.
Discard,
fuck you.
In this game,
I'm throwing in the water.
Shroud's team had,
there's four teams on the map.
Shrout's team had beaten one.
Another team had beaten one.
And then when Shroud bumped into the other team,
they're like,
hey,
you want to just be friends?
And they worked together to figure out the map and such.
And I don't know if they knew who Shroud was,
but it was pretty good.
There was some trust too,
because the other team killed a Shroud teammate.
And he's like,
sorry, sorry,
my bad.
And then Shroud killed one of their teammate.
It was literally Shroud himself.
And he's like, that's on me.
I didn't know.
I thought he was a bot.
He did look like a, he's the same color.
And both of them just forgave the transgression and kept working together, which doesn't always happen.
I should watch some videos of this game.
Everybody's just loving it so much.
The main thing, and I've watched five minutes of it, like here and there.
I just don't like the art style and the aesthetics.
I don't like the 2D sort of nature.
Everything seems to have these like facets.
It all looks like an F117 fighter with these like faceted angles.
and lots of monochrome lime green and magenta.
I don't like any of that.
That's how I felt at first.
I agreed every bit of that.
And then it grew on me.
And now I'm like,
oh my gosh,
thank goodness.
It's not like Millson extraction shooter number 92.
Like I've seen Delta Force.
I played lots of Tarkoff.
I can't list the others.
Maybe even our graders isn't really Millson.
But this is someone,
I wouldn't call that.
That's a battle way out.
But when I played Tarkoff, I was like, what would be like a new cool thing?
And my idea was kind of like a halo sort of space version of it.
And now I have it.
And I get it.
It didn't appeal to me at first either.
Actually, I played it in the server slam this like free weekend.
And I didn't like it on day one.
And then I started loving it.
And then the game dropped.
And I didn't like it on day one.
And then I started loving it.
So you might have that experience too.
I kind of want to go
Like I feel like your game is like a young man's game
I want to go to the old fogy game
Which is which is squad
No
Like squad where you play in those like
It's hyper military
Realistic
Like simulator
And you do like real world factions
Against other real world factions
I guarantee everybody's on there
Playing Iran versus US right now
I saw that
So you may have heard about this
Karg Island thing
it's where Iran has a ton of their oil exportation, like manufacturing shit.
Apparently, that's a Battlefield 3 map.
Yeah.
Like, now I kind of want to go play Battlefield 3 a little bit, or at least played Carg Island map.
That'd be fun.
I've never liked the Battlefield game.
I know I'm in the minority, but I've never played many.
The newest one plays more like Cod, I'm told.
Kyle's played.
Would you agree with that?
The new one is Cod.
The new one is caught.
Like, what I remembered from old school Battlefield, like Battlefield,
bad company. That was the one I played the most of.
I remember slow times to kill.
I remember that bullet connections
felt odd.
I don't remember, I don't think there was a hit
marker noise or notification, so you
really couldn't tell when you were shooting somebody, kind of like
in Tarkov, or at least that's how I remember it.
And just, I remember
the maps being so enormous and the
objectives being so vague to a novice
like me that I often felt lost
and inconsequential.
Whereas in this new battlefield game,
it's fast-paced,
just like Cole of Duty,
where it's very clear
what we're supposed to be doing
if you're playing like any of the game modes.
But I like to play headquarters.
So you're just like,
headquarters in that game is just caught.
You're just racing from one point of interest to the other,
trying to stand in it and accrue points while you're standing in it.
And it's so much fun.
I haven't played that game in a while,
but like,
it's caught.
And then they have the Battle Royale mode.
Also very, very fun.
And it's just like Cod's Battle Royale.
It is Cod.
It's not even a big game anymore?
No.
They've fallen off tremendously.
It's falling off so bad.
So Cod was actively hated this year.
And like there were times when like people get so mad at me from mentioning peanut.
But like peanut, that streamer had twice as many viewers as the call of duty category.
Like it is just dead.
I can't remember the last time a cod came out and it wasn't people bitching that it sucked compared to old Cod's.
like they've just gone so far afield.
The last one I played a decent amount.
Do you remember the one where you had like robot legs
and you could like run on the side of buildings?
Advanced warfare.
Yeah, that came out and like,
that was like 2013 or something.
And I remember buying it and sitting in my shitty little apartment at the time.
And like being like Abe Simpson,
be like,
this isn't called duty.
I'm glad you phrase it that way because I'm like,
it's okay for a game to evolve.
I think if cod for drop right now,
people would be like,
what is this fucking shooter?
for kids. It's too simple. The progression is dumb. It's like the game we loved would not stand up to
today's games, I think. But oftentimes people complain like, oh, this thing got worse. No, it just
didn't get better in the way you wanted it to. They couldn't have just done the same thing every
year. You complain about that too. Some of the bigger problems aren't even with like the gameplay
exactly. They're more with the fucking multimedia store that Call of Duty menus became. It used to,
You go back to that cod for menu.
I can hear the music right now.
Yeah.
And it's just a,
mop,
and it's like all the things are there and just a simple text list.
The new ones,
I got a,
I got to flick through so many pages of Nikki Minaj characters and fucking,
I can play as Patrick.
Cool, cool.
I'll come back and spend $3 on that.
Like,
I don't care.
Patrick Star.
Yeah,
yeah,
there's so many fucking like,
and then the,
uh,
the,
the,
the season pass system that,
that's been stuck into everything now where,
You slowly
That's the worst crime he committed
It's up there
Epstein did that
You didn't know that
He was a big part of ruining
Call of Duty
Yeah Epstein ruined Call of Duty
He was working for big battlefield
And like
I always spend the extra money
Like if I'm gonna play the combat game
I go ahead and spend the $25 to unlock
Like two weeks worth of like work
Of like grinding on the season pass
And like just get the good gun
Because like in battlefield
They flocked the good good
gone in there. It's like way at the end, there's this sniper rifle that's really good. And it's like,
that's the one I take my money. Take my fucking money, you cock suckers. I don't know. I don't like that.
I wish that wasn't part of the gaming experience. I wish it wasn't so predatory. I heard that
Fortnite has declined so much that they're laying off. It was at least a thousand employees.
I think it is a thousand. They're that, um, their headquartered Carrie, which is the town that
borders Raleigh where I live.
So it's a part of the economy
around here. It's a shame. I guess
they're just not having
the hip game anymore. Fortnite.
I mean, Jesus Christ, to have kept it
to have kept their head above water as long as
they did and continually, I hate
to use the word innovate, but that's what it was.
Because I think as far as like
my sphere of like
knowledge, they were the first ones
to start just completely
buying in with
other
other brands and getting things like Peter Griffin
as a playable character or Master Chief, I think you could play as.
Like I can't even list them all. Like I don't play the game, but I would see it pop up
on my feed. Like, and to me it says, I wouldn't, I don't want that.
I don't want that. Like at all, not even a little bit. You know, I just want to be Army
man. That's one of the things I appreciate about the battlefield audience.
They bitch so much about like, like the skins being like
unrealistic and not from true
militaries that they went back
and like fixed them all and like like
gummed them down instead of making them flashy
with like green accents and like
a dragon face mask or something
they're like no we just want a guy
in a balaclava with fucking camouflage
on his on his arms like that's it
and they went back and did it
I mentioned a few times before but I'll do it again
because I think it's cool Collins Parkour
Coaches are the mocap people for
Fortnite so you know they'll like
dress up in the green, stretchy outfit that you see people wear with balls on it.
And they're like, you know, can you slide across the ground like a baseball player jump up
and karate kick?
And they're like, yeah, that's what I do.
Watch this.
Can you imagine how frustrating it would be?
It'd be like, yeah, can you do that a little more, how do I say, Peter Griffin ask?
It's like, I just, sir, I distinctly recall asking you to do it as though you were SpongeBob.
And he's like, I don't know what you're, I don't know what to do.
I don't know how to help me.
I don't know what you, I don't know how SpongeBob and Master Chief differ from the way Matilda would mantle up onto the top of a car or the penguin.
Yeah, that I would not like that either.
Like, Fortnite was one of the first games that came out that made me feel boomery where I was like, I just, I just don't get this.
Like this is just too, wait, where they, yeah, Fortnite, obviously, where they build as they're playing where it was like now it feels like we're not even doing a shooter anymore.
It's like making stares in a sandbox game that you have to run up and then shoot someone.
Like, what the fuck is this?
For me, it had PubG to compete with.
So it just wasn't going to win that competition.
Yeah.
I thought it just looked stupid.
I did not like the look of it, although I could be flexible.
Things grow on me.
What I, the reason I didn't play Fortnite is I was scared of the builders.
Like those people would whip up five-story towers in no time and it's hard.
I read a, or maybe I watched.
a video, but it was about all the different, like, key binds that pros use and the pros and cons to it.
You can't do all the things you want well. Like, you have to give up the ability to make,
like, 45-degree walls or change weapons. Like, you can't have everything on the hot key. Some things
need to be, like, key sequences. And you have to ask yourself, like, what do you need, like,
in the heat of battle less? Diagnal walls or changing to stone? Like, you know, you pick, like,
whatever it is. I'm outside. It would take me out of it. Like I would be, I feel like my satisfaction
of sniping across the map would be taken out if I like looked slightly to the right and there's
two guys like building competing twin towers like occasionally shooting a flame throw at each other.
It's like they added no build modes. Like there are there are people there are boomers like us who
were like, you know, no build. We'll just do Fortnite no build mode. And it got popular with
good players too who just didn't want to get into the build comps. I watched like, you know,
Like, Ninja, I guess, was the best player on Earth for a while.
And then I think Tifu kind of took that crown from him.
He partnered with Cloaksia guy I watched lately.
And you talk to Tifu now.
I saw him interviewed.
Like, how do you do against these kids?
And he was humble.
He's like, I'd get smoked.
I was one of the first people to figure out some of the dynamics.
You know, like there's something called a Tifu head glitch or something.
I don't know the specifics of it.
And he's like, but now the things that.
I invented are just
what everybody does and my
advantage is gone. Yeah.
I think you would like PubG
Taylor. I mean, it's still a good game.
Like I would jump on that and play.
It's a battle royale. Isn't that ancient
now? Didn't that come out like the decade?
They've updated it
over time. I thought
it looked okay last time I played. I played a couple
years ago and it always looks better
to me every time I watched it a couple weeks ago
I didn't play it and I was like
to me it vibe really
dated, you know, it must be over 10 years old, right?
It's close to that. It came out 2017, so
almost a decade. Then again,
I'm spoiled by a game that's
like 16 days old.
So that's where I'm coming from.
I'm watching someone play live right now.
Yeah, I guess it's a little rudimentary in some
ways, but the, like,
the low quality of it kind of lends itself to being a
cleaner, like, battlefield.
field where you can it's it's less obstructed it's more of an arcade type shooter too but i just love
we always had so many adventures playing um four player four player mode we'd all get in a car
drive from one point the other and just just get into just awful hijinks and cars exploding and
everybody screaming and cursing at each other about whose fault that last one was it's a good time
i've played a little bit of apex legends lately that game has a lot of heroes
If you've never, Taylor or listener, if you haven't played hero shooters,
every character has special abilities.
Maybe they run super fast.
Maybe they can fly into the air, build a bridge or whatever.
And you need to see that character, identify what special threats they have,
and then arrange the fight to mitigate their extra threats and accentuate yours.
And if you play a game with like 30 heroes in it, the learning curve feels so high.
It's like, oh, so this one.
just teleports behind me? Well,
I guess fuck me then.
Here's my gun.
Are they different enough
to always tell where it's like, oh, that's the guy
with the blue feather. They look ridiculous.
They're all trans.
They're all trans and black.
I was picturing robots the whole
time. No, there's robots. There's
only robots in there. They're like,
I don't know if night crawler
means anything to you, but picture like a lizard
person with a long tail, but a
human face.
Yeah, they do a good job of just by their profile,
a subject matter expert can instantly identify what hero they're dealing with.
But that's not me.
And not in that game anyway.
But Marathon's a hero shooter too, basically.
And in that game,
I am the guy who instantly knows what I'm dealing with.
But hero shooters add to the learning curve.
I have not been gaming much at all lately.
All my buddies are still loving arc raters.
and I just don't want to go look for fucking kidney beans to feed my chicken and make him a little better at picking up crap.
They'll tell me like, no, I'm a high, I'm like one or I don't know how many levels the chicken is, but I've gotten a few of them.
Harley got me a couple and then my buddy's got me a couple more, but he's not maxed out and I haven't played a ton.
But then they'll tell me like, what you got to do.
You don't have a max cocktail?
Worship me, all right?
I max my cock is a top priority.
Every way.
How many levels does the chicken happen?
Five?
Okay, well, then I'm one away.
I need a few more.
You guys missing his pet bed.
No, I've got my cat bed.
I remember going through my inventory one of the first times,
and Harley was like, oh, you got to hold on to that.
And it's like after I scrolled past the stuff that I thought was neat,
where I'm like, should I keep the nuclear reactor?
And he's like, absolutely, absolutely not.
scrap that into jelly beans and tick-tac.
But you've got to keep the cat bed.
And that pair, brother, don't take your eye off that.
Shrub it in your ass.
When I first started that game, there's a website devoted to like Keeper Trash.
And I would just go, all right, you know, apricots.
Oh, they're keeper.
All right, got that.
All the cool stuff is recycled.
Which didn't make sense to me.
Yeah, I just.
Yeah, I'm not gaming either.
I wish there was something that I wanted to play.
I'm not interested in marathon, unfortunately.
I really don't like the look of it.
And I don't know if I want to jump in at this point anywhere.
Although I never mind that.
Yeah, I never minded like jumping in midwife in Tarkov even.
I saw it as an opportunity rather than a hindrance.
Like those early points of interest aren't going to be as crowded.
And when I do get a kill, he's going to have some good shit.
You can just like that of people anyway.
I have a friend that I'm playing marathon with during the day.
He's like Uber charismatic.
So we play duos in the trio queue with a fill.
And every time we get a really good fill, he makes them our new partner for a while.
We try him on.
Sometimes we play with him again, future days.
Other times he's like, oh, man, I get in a phone call.
I got to go.
And then he sends me an invite.
Fuck that guy.
Did you see him?
He used his thief fishing to get all the good loot.
I had four grand.
You had four grand.
He had 17 grand on the extract.
never play with him again
I'm going boots
go ahead
I was going to ask
I was a different topic I was going to see what y'all
if y'all thought we were going boots on the ground
see if I get a little bet going
so I
I bet they do small scale
I was right about attacking Iran
there's no such thing to small scale boots on the ground
there are boots on the ground and there are boots off the ground
I don't think he's going boots on the ground
I pray we don't if he does
it's going to be
like not really boots on the ground
like yeah we added some extra boots to Kauai
just in case things pop off but we didn't
really anyway
they're the 87 airborne
they're sending to the parachute boys
all right he's like an airborne is
if people don't know that's like a big deal
they're hard drinking hard fighting
drop from the sky and do this shit
but no I could paratroopers
yeah they're tired
why didn't put some paratroopers to Iran
oh it looks bad
because it's mountainous
because you can't
That's a huge for sure.
Fuck.
No, I mean, there's no way it would not be a complete disaster to send boots on the ground to Iran.
Like, they're a geographical fortress.
I know what would happen.
So I think, so my take would be that if they go boots on the ground.
Did you say you know what would happen?
I think I know what would happen.
I know what the situation would be.
If they go, I think I know what they'll do.
And that would be to occupy Karg Island, that place that's got all that valuable oil infrastructure.
if they occupied that with a few thousand Marines or something
and they started setting up fucking forward operating bases on that thing
and I don't know how you get missile defense there
because they would be harried with those cheap-ass drones continuously
if they did that.
And Iran has a military presence there that's pretty sizable, right?
We blow them up.
Do you know Ryan McBeth?
Do you know that name?
I heard of him.
I don't know who he is.
Ryan McBeth is a YouTuber and some sort of intelligence expert.
If he's not a real deal works with the U.S. government, like military genius,
then I've been completely fooled for more than a year now.
And he's like, you know, every time we go to war, we kind of are ready for the previous war.
That's how the world works.
And one thing we're learning now is that the little, you know, temporary palaces we set up with communications and IT departments where we run stuff,
that's safe because it's whatever five miles away,
that's gone.
Now those things are just bullseys for the enemy.
You can't do that anymore.
And when I hear about putting 2,000 troops on Carg Island,
I'm like, oh, you're just inviting drone to inflict casualties.
Yeah, yeah, I don't think there's any world where it wouldn't be a disaster.
That's not how Ukraine fights.
Ukraine, like, goes into a basement and hopes no one knows they're there
and operates drones from the freaking steps that lead down to it.
Like that I think is what modern fighting looks like.
It's secretive and hard to spot.
You don't set up glorious tents with computers inside.
Fingers crossed.
Unless you can counter drones, unless you have an off switch for drones.
And obviously Russia and Ukraine don't.
I hope we come up with one.
I hope we come up with something that you can put on a rifle and you just point it at the drone and the drone dies.
Or a thing that will blanket an area enough like,
EM radiation or microwaves just shot up into the air to like, yeah, they can't come here.
Yeah, they can't come past this air.
This is the safe zone.
This is the green zone.
Drones come in here.
They just fall out of the sky.
You're going to need some shit like that.
So that would only work.
I guess if the drones required GPS, you know, for their positioning or they required a remote control,
if they can operate autonomously, I don't know how you take them down.
I don't know how EMP works.
I don't know.
I'm outside my depth.
EMP fries their electronics.
They're not going to do that because that's like everybody gets fried.
You can't do it directionally?
Not unless they've made some sort of Star Wars advances that they don't talk about.
The only EMPs I know about are when nuclear weapons go off in the atmosphere and you turn the power off to a whole city.
I got like 12 of them in grenade form in Marathon.
You don't have this?
Yeah, just a very strong grenade launcher.
Like you shoot it over the straight into.
into their missile area. Yeah.
I worry if they tell me,
oh, we're going to have 2,000 people
there, but trust me, they'll be safe because they're 15
miles away from the real bad spot. I'm like,
that's not what safe means anymore. This isn't World War II.
No. Every time they do, the military does a war game
involving actual invasion of Iran,
it's a disaster. And they're like,
oh, well, this would be horrible.
Oh, you mean, it's not a bunch of guys with AK-47s in a cave.
Like, like, occasionally, like,
like, occasionally, like, break your monkey bar? Yeah, definitely.
But he's not on the show.
shots. I listen to Trump on a rack on the Howard Stern show, like back in ages ago,
and was it the 90s? And he's like, just declare victory and leave. Just do it. And they're like,
don't you think it's stupid that he's going to do a tick or tape parade? And he's like,
no, I think it's a great idea. Do a parade, declare it a win, get out. And I wouldn't be surprised
if he hasn't changed one bit, that he'll just declare it to be a huge success that we completely
obliterated all of their offensive capabilities for the second time and the last few
months and now
you know we won it's great
it's just what we meant to do
throw a parade if it's
that I'd be zero percent spressed it really feels
like he's up to him like he's bumbling
through this war on vibes
and headlines and
if I guarantee you if if the whole
country was like yeah
America fuck yeah
and like France was like ah you're doing
very well America I
guarantee Trump would be like
maybe three months four maybe do a year there
Who have any extra bombs we haven't tested yet?
Yeah, get that big one.
Got the big one.
They'll love it.
I guarantee he'd be like much more likely to just keep going.
It has way less to do with strategic military checklist and way more to do with, I don't know, just vibes.
Just how he's feeling about the war.
That's my issue with Trump.
Well, there's lots of them.
But like one of the big one, every problem he bumps into is a PR problem.
And he looks for a PR solution.
It doesn't matter if it's a pandemic, a war, inflation.
All he wants to do is not change the facts, but change your mind.
That's his number one goal.
If I can get you to think the pandemic isn't a big deal, maybe by reducing the number of test kits around.
If I can get you to think that inflation isn't such a big deal by pointing to eggs and eggs alone, you know, oh, they went down.
Then that's the track.
He doesn't try to solve the actual problems.
He put tariffs on the good.
He increased taxes.
But he tries to solve the perception of the problem, not the problem.
And when it's not four dollars.
I'm worried.
He's being led around by Israel and BB.
And I mean, like, how often has BB Netanyahu just completely counter signaled Trump like he owns our entire government?
Where Trump will be like, oh, we're victorious and we want to slow this down, you know, because we've already achieved our goals of shutting down their nuclear because they were only a day away.
There were four hours away, actually, maybe half an hour from moots.
I thought we obliterated it before, my bad.
Yeah, and then BB Netanyahu will be like,
we will not stop, and all of our bitches in the U.S. government
are going to continue to do what we want.
The story was that, all right, so there's 1,000 pounds of enriched uranium.
It's enriched like 60%.
Apparently, it's a lot of easy, going from 60 to like whatever it takes
to be a nuclear weapon, like 90-something they can do in weeks.
And nope, the story right after the strikes was that we have no idea where it is.
the story now seemingly is that it's down there buried in the rubble.
I know that's the Iranian like claim.
They're like, it's buried beneath the rubble down there.
But they made it sound like that they were trying to stop them from digging it up or something like that.
But again, the war began because Israel did the math and they saw that Iran was very quickly going to be able to overwhelm all of their defenses and just and blow them up.
And they want to start to stop that before it could happen.
Obliterate verb to remove from existence.
Destroy utterly all trace,
indication,
or significance of.
Doesn't sound like we obliterated their nuclear capabilities.
No,
and we don't know what the truth is,
but it doesn't see.
But the fact that for 40 years now,
Israel has been saying,
they're fucking next weekend,
MOOCs,
they're going to be nuclear capable.
And then it's like,
I don't know. I saw the cartoon bomb. It's making you look a fool, Taylor.
Oh, I saw this really interesting infographic show on YouTube that told me that we really got to shut them down, boys.
You know, I'm talking about Netanyahu's cartoon bomb? He's been dragging around for like 12.
It's literally like, have you ever seen those retards, those self-important morons who have like a big clock?
And anytime something happens they don't like, they're like, it's even closer to midnight than ever before everyone.
it's even closer.
The only way to fix it is to donate to our fund.
Like to donate to the big clock,
the doomsday thing.
Like when I was a child,
like it had a little weight.
Like, ooh, are we closer? Where do we stand?
Oh, we took the minute back.
Thank goodness.
But now it's just been so long.
It doesn't have the way to do.
It might be important who runs the doomsday clock.
It's the science and security board of the Bulletin of Atomic Science.
which includes multiple Nobel laureates.
It's an independent non-profit organization that evaluates threats from nuclear weapons, climate change, and disruptive technologies to determine how close humanity is to catastrophe.
Yeah, but the problem with it is that you bat zero until like you decide not to.
Like until actual nuclear cataclysm updates and they go, oh, it's midnight right now.
And it's like, when did you determine that?
And it's like, well, when it happened, that's when it ticked over.
And it's like, that's silly.
It does seem like it's unfalsifiable.
We're four minutes away.
Now we're three minutes away.
Not literal minutes, but like in the scale of Earth's history.
This is like we're going to, from yellow alert to red alert for you start.
I could just alternate between five and one forever and never be wrong.
Seems like marketing.
Yeah.
It's unfalsifiable.
It's a non-profit organization.
It's unfalsifiable.
Non-profit organizations.
You tell me that people rich.
How much money do you think the doomsday clock people are making?
When's the last time you chipped in?
I've never chipped in.
You know who called me today?
You know who called me today trying to get me to chip in?
I go to the St. Louis Symphony Orchestra a couple times a year, usually, when they're playing
something I like.
And they called me today.
And this, like, poor girl was, like, giving me a spiel.
And I didn't want to be rude.
So I let her ramble for a minute where she was like, you know, thanks for your patronage.
there's a student orchestra
and if you donate
$150
we'll give you two tickets
to the student orchestra
and you can even come to a practice
and I was like
no I think I'll continue to patronize it
like when I want to go
like why I didn't say this
but I was like why would I pay the same amount
for two tickets to go see like Beethoven
or like Mahler or somebody good
to go watch kids practice
some silly nonsense.
Yeah, but who cares?
I don't want to watch them.
I don't think they're playing like Old McDonald had a farm.
You know, they're junior orchestras.
Yeah, but when they do a real orchestra,
they bring out all the big orchestra guys,
and they're good, and they don't make mistakes,
and then they have like a guest composer or something,
and it's like, wow, French accent, this guy's real.
Like, and it's up there, does his,
sometimes they seem a little lighten the loafers.
You just take, you just take and never give back.
I bought tickets.
I bet you go into the gas stations to just clear that penny chain.
penny thing out.
Just run into your hand and shuffle out. That's what I do. I run into Taco Bells and I grab
that tank that people try to drop quarters on the platforms and I run out spilling everywhere.
We went through a kick where we were going to musicals all the time and the same thing
happened to me Taylor. Like would you like to donate to the arts? And it's like, bro,
I'm a paying customer, but I ain't your whale. I'm not that guy. Put on a good show and I'll
give you money for it. That's the deal we have going. Yeah. It's like I literally,
could have gone to a blues game.
You know who doesn't call me being like, hey, pay the same amount for a ticket and you can
watch the blues skate bags after they get dominated by the Montreal Canadiens and be like,
no, no.
What if you can watch to practice though?
By going to the events I want to go to.
Would you want to watch a blues practice?
Not really, because they used, you can go watch them for free.
They used to, like when I was a kid, they played or they would do practices occasionally
at this rink inside a mall that called the St. Louis Mills shut down because it was.
was crime ridden after a while.
But you could just go and watch them and it was fine, but it's not a game.
When they skate bags, do you think the superstars are able to phone it in?
I think it depends on the coach's level of anger.
If it's the head coach screaming at them, then I don't think you can phone it in as much
because they'll do that like that like, you remember this team too,
even though you scored two goals and had two assists, we still lost five to four.
But if it's some assistant coach trying to be buddy, buddy, I bet they don't have to go.
If you're not a hockey guy, skating bags is like a grueling workout done as a punishment by the coach.
Yeah.
Yeah, that's what the blues were having to do when they were the worst team in the league before they won the cup right before two players got in a fight mid-practice.
And it was like, I remember thinking like, oh, this season couldn't be going worse after that last game.
And then it was like, two blues players bloody each other's faces at practice out of anger.
Turns out that's what they needed.
But yeah, I will not be donating to go watch the youth.
symphony orchestra. That's crazy.
That's insane. How much would you like to do a like skate with the pros day of fantasy
camp and hockey? When I was younger, when I was still like active and playing hockey and
everything, definitely. That would have been fun. But not now. No, that wouldn't just get
shelled. They'd be like, watch me take the head off this mid-30s idiot. That's how they do.
They'd like, you take the shots. Why would, why in this like, even in your fantasy,
even your fantasy, they've made you the goalie again.
Because that's the position I play.
Otherwise, I'd be fucking Vladimir Putin out there.
They'd be side to side just like, oh, as if I'm going to make a wish.
I wouldn't want that.
We've got a show for you.
It's called jury duty.
So it's a couple years old.
I remember seeing commercials for it, but I never watched it.
It's on Amazon Prime, or at least it's on my Prime.
I do have things added on to it.
So it's possible it's on HBO actually.
But here's the premise.
They tell these people that what we're doing here is we're doing a reality show about juries.
We're going to follow the jury from beginning to end, from jury selection to the verdict.
We're going to cover the trial.
Cameras in the deliberation room.
Cameras at the hotel while we're sequestered.
Cameras at meals and the whole thing.
It's really focusing on the jury.
and this guy
like he ends up on the show
he's a white guy
kind of clean cut
he's the only one
who isn't an actor
and he has no idea
the rest of the jury are actors
the judge is an actor
all the lawyers
the defendant
even like people
that will be at the restaurants
that they go to for dinner
they're surrounded by
like a Truman show situation
where everything is fake
and so they're able to turn
everybody up
like a sitcom
and make them like quirky like Kramer.
Everybody's Kramer.
Like there's like a slutty chick on the jury.
There's like a Mormon guy who's like girlfriends off cheating on him.
And the best part is they hire one celebrity ends up on there.
It's the guy who play, I can't think of his name right now.
He's in the notebook.
He's in Sonic the Hedgehog.
He was in X-Men.
He's Cyclops in the X-Men movies.
He's that guy.
like um oh and um he's in west world like big a list celebrity guys no that's his name he's a very angular face
and dark hair he's very handsome anyway he's also part of this thing but he's there as himself of course
but he's like such a douchebag he's always talking about the movies he's in and like he's like oh yeah
this is a confidential script i'm reading can't really tell you which director quentin something who
knows. Like he's being a complete D-bag the whole time, very elitist. He immediately
hires his own. James Mardson. That's his name. Yeah, he's like a, he's like the second guy and
everything. Like, like he's, he's got tons of tons of supporting roles. He's the other guy in the
notebook. He's, like, Cyclops and the X-Men. That's where I know him from. He's kind of the main
guy in the Sonic, the Hedgehog movies. If you watch those, he's like the one paling around with
Sonic. But I can't, I really like in the show, because it's so
awkward watching them like fuck with this guy like he it's called Jerry duty where is it yeah like I said
I'm not really sure I'm watching it on Amazon so it's probably on it's either on Amazon or HBO I just
scrolled past it on Amazon it's fun yeah I see it now maybe I'll I'll check that out if you're saying
it's funny I'm really looking forward to the reveal at the end when he learns that this has all
been a joke on him because he keeps getting in like the in in the trial the legal
The prosecution are great.
They're like law and order prosecution.
They've got a fucking like CGI rendering of what the bad guy did that looks pretty good.
And then like the defense lawyer,
he brought somebody else's case to like the first day.
It's the wrong paperwork.
He's like,
you've a,
he costs $2,500 worth of damage according to the prosecution.
And the judge is like,
excuse me,
excuse me,
I don't want the jury to be misled here.
$2.5 million worth of damage.
And he's like,
oh,
oh no.
Oh no.
So they've got a Lionel Hutz on the case.
Literally Lionel Hutz.
His presentation, he keeps fucking up his presentation.
And he like knocks the TV over like it's falling on the floor.
Is he dabbing his forehead?
He's sweating.
He really, he's on his Bluetooth with his paralegal.
Like he's like, you were supposed to file it.
And the judge is like, are you talking?
Are you on the phone right now?
That's funny.
And they, you know, they cut over to the.
jury and like our guy is just like what the fuck is happening right now like he's continuously like
what the fuck is happening good show highly recommend no check that one out cool stuff dinner time boys
