KN 627.
All right.
What's up, boys?
It might have got you.
It started at nine seconds.
You never know.
You could have both.
I'm doing well.
And I don't know if you guys saw.
I'll link it in the chat.
Dolly?
No, Dolly Parton passed away, but not that.
This is really big news.
That there's...
Jesus Christ.
There's an enormous amount of food science occurring in China in KFC.
They are introduced.
and Kyle, you're muted. They're introducing a
Oreo burger
that just looks like
a dare to me.
Like the worst possible
combination of items.
I don't know about the Chinese palette.
Did you see
it leads with
fresh off the reveal
of their fried chicken flavored
Oreo cookies and then it gives a link to it.
The outside of it looks like an
Oreo cookie that you're familiar with, the
inside is some sort of, this isn't it. The inside is some sort of like chicken cream inside the
normal Oreo, which is the like overly dry cookie thing that Oreo has. And now they've gone,
I guess the other direction where they use real chicken and some sort of Oreo flavored bun.
Is that what I'm looking at? That's what it appears to be to me. Now, I haven't seen this.
This looks like it could be an AI thing. But it's linked how you're still muted.
linked.
Yeah, I know.
Oh, it linked from it.
Yeah, I just didn't follow that one yet.
Yeah, it's pretty gross.
That's pretty horrendous.
We've got a little balsy lately, even on the Great Shores of America.
I've seen those blueberry Oreos.
I've seen some weird stuff coming out of Oreo.
Not chicken, though.
That seems like they made it as a joke.
I mean, they're releasing it in China.
I believe they're releasing it, but like how many did they make?
Are they making like a trillion bags of this?
Or are they making like 100,000 bags so that we talk about Oreo?
Am I falling for AI or something?
There's a post-malone Oreo?
Yeah.
One cookie's white, the other cookies is black, and the middle is swirled?
It is post-aloon?
Yeah, yeah.
Yeah, those are actually pretty fucking good.
I had a post-malone Oreo.
Really?
Yeah, it was, yeah, Post-y.
I got some people in my life who are big fans of Postie.
and so we had to get the post Malone Oreos, check them out.
Not bad. Not bad.
He's a cool guy. I like it.
I had worse Oreos.
He bought that $2 million one ring magic card.
He sure did. He sure did.
I wanted to take it out of the protecting thing.
He took it out of the mega protecting thing, but then it's like China dolls.
You know, it's in a smaller protective case because it's worth a couple mill.
And I'm like, take it out of there.
Come on, let's play that bitch.
Let's get it out.
Come on. Let's ruffle and fucking deal.
No.
Yeah.
I have beef with Post Malone.
Beef with a white.
What I do to you?
I was cool when I was younger.
I used to be a hip guy, a guy that was handsome.
The girls might like until July 4th, 1995, when I lost all my swag.
Coincidentally, the day he was born, I think Post Malone stole my swag.
I've maintained that for years.
What happened that date?
Was it like you were out and about and you're like, oh, must have Ford, fuck us.
You're at the cookout, 1995.
Well, 1999, it's 4th of July.
You think you're going to be the same guy you were the day before,
but some baby was born and took my swag.
Damn, you're like, you're like Grandpa Abe.
You're like, I used to be with it, but then they changed what it was.
And what I'm with, isn't it?
Oh, it'll happen to you.
It'll happen to you.
Yeah, right, dude.
I saw him, I saw all.
Post Malone and Charlemagne the God.
I'm sorry, I don't know if you want to talk about KFC chicken more.
No, go ahead.
Dude, did you see his time going on Charlamagne the God's morning show?
No.
Is Charleney the guy?
I think he's like a wannabe rapper.
I don't know if he ever had a career, but he's a very successful, like, DJ podcaster type dude.
And he has a really widely watched show.
And he had Post Malone on and he just fucking submarine him the whole time.
you know like what are you doing for black lives matter and he's like i don't i don't know just being a good
person and that that wasn't enough for him it was a question with no good answer no matter what he said
it was it's not going to be enough anything i can he had post malone's girlfriend come in the studio and
then he told his girlfriend that post malone was going to cheat on him when he got famous and
everything and a cheat on her i should have said and i can't detail every but it was just
time and time again him telling post malone he didn't like his music he wasn't cool trying to
convince his girlfriend he was going to step out on
and just sort of trying to get the community to hate him, but it backfired.
Post Malone apparently is the sweetest, nicest guy.
He's like a dog you hit and then just comes back and loves you harder.
That's Post Malone.
And that's how he responded to Charlemagne the God being a complete asshole.
So Charlemagne invites him back on.
Post Malone is probably expecting that the Charlemagne will be cooler this time.
But like, you know, he saw the backlash.
Everybody sided with Polesmone.
Post Malone. Nope. He did the same heck and thing. Post Malone, to his credit, also did the same thing. He sort of killed him with kindness. He was super nice. And yeah, now everyone is like Charlemagne took the L post Malone one.
What a fish bag? Yeah, just he's trying to come on there make a good show with you and your sandbagging him. Asking from what you're saying, like when did you stop beating your wife style questions?
Yeah. Stuff like, yes, post Malone. Like, do you feel bad?
about basically copying black culture.
I'm misquoting him, but that was the essence of it.
And Pauls Malone's like, I'm not copy.
I'm just being myself.
This is who I am.
And he's like, I don't think white people should have cornrows.
Shit like that.
Like just you couldn't interpret it as kind or curious.
It was Diggs designed to make your audience side with you.
Yeah.
So the guy named after an eighth century king of the Franks is talking about cultural
appropriation. Yeah, that's who Charlemagne was. He's like a famous European.
If he existed. He existed. You're thinking to King Arthur. Charlemagne was absolutely real.
No, I know what I'm thinking about. I'm thinking about there's a, there's this theory that
a huge portion of time has been fabricated that they just, that there's, that we're not in like
the 21st century that we're in like, I think the 17th or the 16th or something. And
they just took like 800 years and just made them up and wrote them down and who would know?
Like if the royalty and the noblery like just wrote a history of years that.
happened, you know, they inflated the period that in which Charlaman existed.
Crazy, but plausible.
We have battle records and stuff.
Battle records?
Like, they can see like, oh, this is probably where this battle in 1152 happened because
there's a lot of, you know, this style of weaponry in this area.
I think the best proof against it would be like the Chinese or somebody like that who's not,
you know, swayed by the gig.
Yeah.
I was thinking, like the expansion.
growth of the towns and cities through that period of time.
Like, you know, 600 years, this isn't just pop up overnight.
Look, we've got this stuff that's old as head.
They wax and wane.
You had all those, those plagues and stuff.
I don't think we've made up Charlemagne or 800 years of history.
But it is a well-known conspiracy theory, though.
Like, it's not like.
What 800 years, well-known conspiracy, like, there are theories I'm good at basketball.
Disprove it.
Like, I refuse to shoot.
Like, what eight people talking about it?
what 800 year window would be fabricated
because that seems really easy
to just immediately troubleshoot.
Also, I have a related question.
Is the 800 years kind of humorously agreed upon
or do they just say like a large spot of time?
It's the Phantom Time conspiracy theory.
Okay.
And it is a pseudo intellectual conspiracy theory
which asserts that the Holy Roman Emperor
Otto the Third and Pope Sylvester the second
fabricated the anodomini dating system retroactively
in order to place them at a special year of 1000 AD.
They wanted their reign to be within a special year,
so they just backtracked,
and they rewrote history to legitimize Otto's claim
to the Holy Roman Empire, and it goes on and on.
Again, a well-known conspiracy theory,
but not something I believe it.
It's not so well-known, Kyle.
I would have heard of it.
Yeah, I couldn't.
So, like, but what period is purported to be, like, whole clock?
I mean, you could read through the Wikipedia.
I don't know.
I just know the.
Wouldn't be good for me to just say you're staring, though.
I know.
I can't either.
So they're saying, oh, okay.
So everything then is what they're saying is everything was just set back.
Oh, no, this doesn't say 800 years.
It says 300.
Okay.
614 to 9-11 were not they never occurred we just skipped hundreds of years that's that seems a bit
seems a bit much to me there was a lot going on like at that period in time like the the the
Byzantines were keeping records the the Holy Roman Empire was like starting to kick off out in the
well that's part of this right like this guy wanted to be the Holy Roman Emperor he was the Holy Roman Emperor he was the Holy Roman Emperor
Yes, but then you, so at some point in his past, these people's contention would be that, like, there were made up lines of succession.
Because even just on Wikipedia, which is like retard mode, you know, granted, you can click back through, like, who was his predecessor, you know, oh, Otto the second.
All right, Otto the first.
What was Otto the first up to?
All right.
What was Berengar the first up to?
And, like, there are, like, events that were, like, that was.
The theory asserts that those are fictional events made up,
that they rewrote the timeline again to put him at a specific year.
So they just made the year up and backtracked.
And made up a few hundred years of nonsense.
They just wrote some fiction.
But like you click back a few guys.
Like there is evidence that the Magyars were invading Western Europe in the early 10th century and late 9th century.
You should update this Wikipedia post.
Tell them about that.
Tell them about the Majjars.
Have you said the text?
I don't think you're working hard enough.
I'm working hard.
I'm looking at one corner of my eye over here trying to read,
but that's in the periphery that gets blurred.
So I have to turn.
Yeah, the Hungarians, who are the Magyars, they popped over there.
Oh, you know, the Magyars, of course.
It's reminiscent of like the 6,000-year-old earth thing,
where no matter how much evidence you present,
they're just like, I don't buy it.
I don't think so.
God did that.
That one upsets me every time it gets brought up.
It's like, come on, guys.
Like, there's a lot.
There's so much evidence.
There's so much evidence.
Like, some of the elements wouldn't exist if that were true.
Like, it takes longer than that.
As far as I know.
I don't think you can have uranium if we've only been here for 6,000 years.
I don't think it can happen.
You know, and we can see more than 6,000 years away.
Like, that's it.
You're getting smashed in this debate.
Like, I remember saying,
that to my mother when I was like
nine or something
something like that with just my Star Trek level
of intelligence I was like but aren't
some stars further than 6,000
light years away
like that that's it
I think my dad was like yeah I think
they are and my mom just like steaming
in the passenger seat
they just got ahead
those stars just got a head start Kyle
the marks a mysterious ways
that don't make me beat you
Yeah, for 6,000 years just isn't enough.
Like, we know, like, there are rulers of, like, ancient Er and ancient Uruk in Mesopotamia that are almost to that old.
Now, you get that far back because I've done that where, like, I'll just, you know, find those, like, weird, barely updated websites of some guy who was just obsessed with Err, you know, in 2006.
And, like, whereas in, like, the Middle Ages, sometimes it'll say, like, Pope So-and-So was born in 11.
or 11.05. We don't know because of this and this. You get that ancient and it's like we're pretty sure Nebuchadnezzar the first was between 3,600 BC and 3,000 BC. We got a 600 year window to play with here because we don't know. They had different numbers. It wasn't Nebuchadnezzar. He was way later. But like, that's the window you get. And it's always disappointing where it's like, damn, that's really not that far back when you think about humans as a whole.
and you get just that far
and we're like naked in the dark.
We have, we really can't confirm anything.
You want to talk about like,
write anything down and pass it forward,
you know,
not in a meaningful,
like a written kind of way.
Like,
like,
I,
I know that there are theories
that there have been
more than one intelligent species on the planet.
And geologically,
that's possible.
Like,
like another species could have evolved
and then just plate tectonics
could have eaten away
their whole society.
I think that's unlikely.
But there could have been like,
I don't know,
another society that was right,
writing and had figured out philosophy and art, like, had gotten to the level of, like,
I don't know, the Greeks or something like that. And then they got reset and buried beneath
the sands of time and set back to Hunter Gatherers, like a sort of an Atlantis type situation.
Like, I believe in that. And also there was like a, oh, sorry, go ahead.
That idea is interesting to me, right? Because I think, if you think about our bodies as the
hardware and our knowledge is the software, our hardware has been competent for a long time.
100,000 years, 80,000 years, like a really long time.
Kaus has more, maybe a quarter million years.
I don't know how long our hardware has been competent, but quite some time.
But most of our advancement has happened in the last like 3,000 years, like 4,000.
You don't have to go very far on the scale of a quarter million years and just the last 1% of it.
It's right.
It's writing.
But where it heads is the interesting part.
Like, oh my God.
We've just been doing nothing for nearly a quarter million years.
And then in the last 5,000, wild stuff happened.
We're going to the moon.
We've got the internet.
We're working on an artificial intelligence.
What does another thousand years look like?
If we've done all this advancement in the last thousand or even the last like 300, what
does 300 years from now look like?

It's always fun to imagine, like, that we just keep going up.
like a Roman citizen in, you know, 170 AD would have thought the same thing.
Like, we're banging on all cylinders.
We got some solid emperors right now.
What, you're telling me there's going to be a period where, like, people look back on us
and we're like 800 years ago.
These guys had it figured out.
Like, no, it's going to keep going up.
It's going to, you know, we're going to keep progressing.
And I think Kyle's right that language is the biggest thing.
Right.
Because writing and line.
Yeah, specifically writing.
so you can pass it down to the future and like people can build, you know, stand on the shoulders of giants.
You need the writing. You need the stability that your writings don't get all burnt up and forgotten.
And then you need the mechanism to pass down the knowledge for the reading and writing, which is the church and monks.
Like much of what was preserved is because of orders of monks who would hand copy manuscripts one after another.
Their whole fucking lives.
They'd be in some, what do they call those places where the monks go?
Monastery.
one of those monasteries just copying a book that maybe their grandfather,
well, their grandfather probably would have been a monk.
Those monks have a real problem repopulating.
There were a lot of second boards.
Before you had the Gutenberg coming up with the press or whatever,
and you could just stamp out new copies of books, look at his split.
Somebody had to write that shit down,
and reading and writing were hard to come by as far as skills.
Yeah, and you need a civilization that values,
those lessons being passed forward.
And like a good example of that is,
like,
it took British explorers to,
like,
really start and,
like,
make the field of Egyptology.
Like,
when they went over there,
I remember the Rosetta Stone in particular,
was being used as,
like,
a support stone in some guys,
like goat barn.
And some British guy was like,
my word,
may we have this?
And he's like,
I don't,
no, I know, so I'm his spying.
And then they're like,
Go on.
We promise we'll give you another
excellent stone without the writing.
And they like, like they had to, you know,
retrieve that or they just stole this rock.
But like, you need people that give a fuck
and want to keep it going,
not just kind of sit on their laurels.
Which, yeah, imagine if we had like all those libraries
that weren't totally fucked up like Alexandria.
Like, imagine if we had.
all that. How many like genius philosophers
had written things down that took
like another Eon to uncover
just because that was burned by the fucking Vizagoths or whatever?
Could have been mathematics. Yeah, we could have lost some mathematics
along the way. That would have been that that's a bigger
setback than you might imagine because
you know, like people don't, you need a special kind of genius that's
obsessed with that stuff and then it provides all these leapboards
and physics and materials and just
technology in general when it finally happens.
Yeah. Yeah, it's really cool to think about. But it's entirely possible. We go off the rails the way the Romans did. Like they there wasn't like a big cataclysm where every it, it wasn't like Siv where like one day in 476 or whatever the Romans woke up and we're like, things are different today. Like they didn't have the internet. Like it was said like most Romans realized the Romans who didn't live in Rome. They, the way they found out that the empire.
had crumbled and like dissolved was because they just noticed the roads weren't being taken care of and the infrastructure wasn't being repaired and so it wasn't like some guy came and knocking and was like you're now part of this it was just like hey they're really I haven't seen any guys in a bunch of red you know with gladius is strapped to their sides fixing our roads in a long time they're really fucking struggling over there in Rome like we I think even if the United States is tend to be gradual lapse somehow and fail like there's plenty of other
people's people like carrying the flag of just knowledge of just human knowledge it might not be
the same culture but the chinese aren't going to let us forget how math works you know yeah
yeah true we're going to continue to progress forward it's the only thing that stops us now is like
killing ourselves or maybe like i was talking about the other day some kind of a big solar flare event
that just nukes all of our electronics um that would set us back it would take decades to rebuild the
grid. But on top of that, like, we might just collapse further into just...
Would that be localized? It would be planetary.
Planetary. Yeah. It would be bad. Even both sides? Like, it would wrap around?
It would continue for a long... The Carrington event lasted for a long time.
And there was, there was electricity, like, arcing off of the telegraph wires and the telegram
machines were bursting into fire and all the offices. But that's kind of the height of electronics
at the time. Now everything is electronic. Now, I don't know what it does to the phone.
your pocket. But I bet if there's a big enough solar flare, it destroys it. It definitely
destroys like the power grid. But it probably wouldn't impact things that are turned off, right?
Yeah, I think it would. But I'm not sure about that. I bet our old friend Chat GPT would have
some more knowledge about that. It probably, it is my greatest fear. That would be a catacly. So we'd
lose our whole. Chat, PT's like, thank you for not asking about how to get late in
cyberpunk again.
It's a pleasure to talk about anything else.
Are you sure you don't want to upgrade any of your skill points at all?
This is it.
That's the only thing you want to do.
Back and forth between video game questions and real life questions.
So I'm playing fallout.
I'm like, hey, what are the, when I bake, when I cook bloat fly meat, what does the
baked bloat fly give me?
And then a few hours later, I'm like, I'm smoking ribs.
At what temperature do I need to pull them off and wrap them again?
And it's like, there are no ribs in Fallout 4.
Or it's like, Yagui ribs don't require any temperature at all.
You just press cook and they instantly cook.
I'm in real life now.
This is real life.
Oh, well, yeah.
I love my chat, GPT for cooking.
Like, it's open while I'm cooking in like any step where I'm like,
is that a tablespoon or a teaspoon?
I don't remember the recipe.
It's so much easier just to have.
ask it and let it tell me.
It's great for already known things.
I don't think it's as great as people say about connecting the dots.
You know, like chat GPT would not discover the theory of relativity.
It would not come up with E equals MC squared.
Like it doesn't do these things on its own.
What it could do is tell you what's already out there.
But imagine chat GPT hundreds of years ago being like you can't sail around the world.
It's flat.
You'll fall off the edge.
Just summarizing accepted documents.
Yeah, it's really good at like busy work too.
They do this thing with astronomy where they have these old plates from back before like the,
what they would do is through the telescope they would take these photographs and they're printed on these glass plates.
And it's basically glass plate impressions of the stars at various coordinates.
And what you do is you take readings from today, pictures from today and compare them over time to see if anything moves.
because stars far away aren't going to move,
but something close that was actually an asteroid
or a comet or a planet or something,
you would see that move.
And so having a person go in and literally like a B,
A, B, A, B, like doing that thing at the eye doctor,
looking for differences is so time-consuming
and fraught with like error.
And an AI system just at the speed of light
looks at all of the plates from 40 years of plate taking
and finds all these differences
that they didn't see before
and they're seeing like all these supernovas
they didn't know what happened
and they're learning a lot about stars
and all sorts of stuff.
Would you trust AI to do that better than a human
if it was important?
Yeah, yeah.
My brother-in-law used to do that job.
Specifically, he worked in Air Force Intelligence
and he wasn't like high up or whatever,
but his job was actually to look at pictures
and circle or mark down or report up the chain
for them to make decisions based on what he sees.
Like, hey, this truck moved.
You know, this, this tank that used to be here is now somewhere else.
I don't know where.
And then he'd take that information, those observations, and pass him up the chain to make decisions.
And I'm like, huh, I get that AI is really good for stuff like that.
But would you trust it, trust it?
Would you fire the humans whose job is to look at the whatever army camp of some Iranians
soldier and just replace them with AI.
I think for like a celestial mapping thing, you could just have the AI do it and then just
have a human who probably would have missed all the little intricacies just to go through
and confirm it and be like, oh, yeah, that one's true.
Oh, this one's true.
Oh, I wouldn't have caught that.
That's teeny tiny.
Right.
You want someone checking their work.
Like, oh, actually it didn't move.
They brushed the snow off it.
It looks different.
That's the same truck.
Yeah.
But then you can just have like one guy replaced probably 10 or whatever.
instead of the same way Gutenberg replaced all those monks in the monastery having to do their very careful calligraphy one little page strip your year's over you gotta restart you imagine spelling a word the beating you'd get oh yeah you're like in the middle of revelation and you fuck up a line and you're like you write moops instead of moors and that history has changed or something like that
I imagine the hostile words in ancient texts, no?
Part of their disciplines in monasteries was like, don't make, it was almost like the Asian monks, like, where you, it was like, it's full of art works.
And it was like, you can't make mistakes.
If you make a mistake, like, this is going to be in a library forever until some, you know, vandals, which that was actually a group of barbarian.
They have the vandals.
imagine like your legacy as a group being like just these guys were the worst we're going to use their name for like wrecking stuff for thousands of years yeah the shithead clan so yeah those pages would have like gold leaf and artwork and paintings and be really they're not marking works up before computers it wasn't that uncommon for like either to use white out or not even like things handed out to students
students would have like X's over misspelled word than the right word next to it.
Like not everything was so perfect.
We had white out in Xerox.
So like you'd see that it had been repaired, but you know, it had been repaired at least.
In your guys science classes when it was like you have to, you know, 7th or 8th grade, whatever it was.
Whereas like, all right, now here's a picture of the, there's a picture of an animal cell in the book with like all the label, the mitochondria of the cell, you know, membranes.
And then there's the plant cell.
And then when the teacher would print that out and then scan it,
do you remember like the diagrams were just like so black and dark and discolored that you could barely see them?
Like it was nothing like I was looking at it.
It's just incompetence.
You're a teacher.
A third of your job is making photocopies.
You made all those photocopies and said,
ha, perfect.
I'm giving this to Taylor.
No.
Fucking fix it.
You incompetent.
cunt? Why are you this bad?
I don't remember this. Oh, no.
It would be like the black lines
labeling things just disappear
into an abyss where I'm
like in my head I'm trying to remember not
even the pieces of the cell just like
I believe mitochondria was labeled
from the top right.
Like that I think that's where that is but like
I remember there are like
Mr. Graham or whatever. Yeah, it was for biology and he'd be like
Oh, so you've got a picture of the cell
on the paper with like lines and you're supposed to
label all the different parts, but it was so fucked up that like Mr. Graham's walking around
being like, sorry, it's a little tough to see the diagrams, folks, you know, do your best.
And it's just may as well be labeling.
How about you do your best, fucker? How about you do your best? How about I give you a paper
filled with garbage and mistakes that's uniligible and say, hey, when you read it, do your best.
Yeah. No, he didn't get that was, I think that was our.
10th grade chemistry teacher that I don't think I had a teacher who like viscerally gave
less of a shit about his job than this guy.
Do you think everybody needs to learn chemistry and biology?
Because I'm thinking about like like, like, we don't need to.
We didn't need to.
Frankly.
Like, like, I'm, I'm glad that I know a little bit.
I didn't.
It's still.
So, imagine this though.
Imagine if instead of us learning about mitochondria, we instead took a class where
the whole year the class does a field trip every day we go somewhere and everybody works a real job
for someone a real job where we're paid and a big part of the class is paying the taxes and filing the
taxes for the job we all work together like this semester and we all learn how to file taxes
that'd be better for most people definitely because that was something that just was never taught
in any class if you fail you get out of it the only finance stuff they did was like all right
We're going to teach you how to balance a checkbook.
And it was already like, I was like, you know, I'm a senior in high school.
It's 2009.
The writing's on the wall.
This is gone.
Like nobody's doing this shit anymore.
I never understood.
So that's a little before my time, too.
Help us, Woody.
What was the, why did you, so my understanding.
Let me explain what I think balancing a checkbook is and maybe I'm just off and it's
something else.
To me, it's keeping track of your expenditures in your checkbook and subtracting that from the amount
that you know is in there so that you keep a running tally and an accurate count of how much money
is actually in your checking account with the deductions in your checkbook and you'd be able to go back
and flip through the stubs and be like you know 29,000 28,000 27,000 like count your money down
and then now that you balance you be like now okay now I have 24,000 dollars in my checkbook
period is that balancing a checkbook no it was more like checking the bank's work right
so you get your monthly bank statement and then there were things in there that the bank did
know about. You wrote a paper check to someone, but that person didn't cash it yet. So you know
that you have $100 less, but the bank doesn't know it yet because fuckheads sitting on their
birthday present forever. And so like there's a paper check out there and you're calculating your
actual balance and making sure there's no mistakes. You know, the bank might know about
things that you don't, like the interest that it paid you. You know about things it doesn't.
Like checks you wrote that haven't been put into the system yet haven't been deposited, for example.
and you're just sort of reconciling the things you know,
the things it knows,
and coming to one,
the real answer of what you have,
and two,
checking,
no one made any mistakes.
Okay.
That makes sense.
When you write paper checks,
mistakes can happen.
Oh,
maybe I misunderstood what you said.
That could be true.
Okay.
It just didn't see,
it only seems like something
that's a big deal if you have
either very little money
or you're running a business,
though,
because I guess the checking
the bank's work thing,
is a thing, but like, how?
Like, what if you wrote a check for 400,
but your handwriting's not very good?
And it kind of looked like 900, and that's what happened.
Right?
Fours and nines, I mean, for some people,
they look about the same.
I don't know anyone like that, but you write the word out of the bottom.
But that kind of thing could get caught during reconciliation.
I remember when I first started writing checks,
being so stressed out that everything be legible and perfect.
And then I saw, like, my mom write a check one time,
and I was just like, what even is this?
What even is this?
I give it to them and they give me the things
and I suppose they get some amount of money along the way.
I don't know.
I had a similar thing.
I thought that when you signed a credit,
like, you know,
you signed for your credit card.
You still do that today oftentimes.
That that signature was like verified
and that you had to sign it approximately the same way every time
or there's going to be some problem down the road.
I imagine Jason born like them looking at it funny and like up and down.
up and down and then like they go in the back and you see them making a hurried phone calls and then
in the early days of the internet someone posted like how they don't check it at all so i'd sign my name
mickey mouse i'd sign my name with literally just like morse code like periods and dashes not accurate
morse code but like it would look like it and uh there was always just accepted and i'm like okay
this is just a security theater here where we're pretending where these signatures mean anything
I sign in wingdings
I literally do like a circle
I go circle
and like no one's ever said shit
like whenever I have to sign for something
that's getting delivered I just
Have you ever done the iPad sign
where like someone who's like doing work for you
on your house or just like a like confirmed delivery
where they even hold it up and they're like
just do something in there brother
and I'm like loolid doodoo because like there's no
it's like if I tried to do it's like if I tried to
do but my real signature, it would look less, it would look like someone was trying to impersonate me
on this fucking like one time I tried to like I was like this okay like as he's holding his cell phone
awkwardly. I'm like grabbing my finger like it's a pencil and I'm just like doing this. And he's like

Long day for me, buddy.
Anything's fine.
I don't know.
Is somebody going to check this later with like a big magnifying glass from an old.
movie and like go back and forth and be sure that's what AI could maybe do a good job of although
immediately you'd have so many fuck up nobody signs anything anymore one check thing that I've fucked up
before is like and when I have to write like my quarterly checks for like federal and state taxes
sometimes I'll forget because like the feds just have you write like what form it is and then like
your social and then like the date or something like that and the state like I'll write it as though
it's federal and then like Missouri will want like additional forms like written next to it.
And so then I'm doing that thing like you're getting to the edge of a line in a notebook so it's
kind of curling. And I'm like, this doesn't seem very official. Are they going to be mad?
I think they'll just cash the check. You know what? It's just let's, but for a while like when I was
younger I would like do that on accident and I'd be like, no, this is like serious business.
We're ripping this. We got to start over. I'm like writing in such tiny little letters.
Form.
Because I know they won't take like blue ink. Like IRS won't take blue ink.
like IRS won't take blue ink right
I didn't know that if it's true
I thought blue and black were the only acceptable
but I've only ever used black
Who doesn't accept black ink?
Blue ink everybody accepts black ink
That's what I meant
Yeah
That would be
There's no way the government's sending back checks for blue ink
That's crazy
Red or pinker
It would seem like they'd get 30 million blue ink checks a year
That'd be too much work
Yeah definitely
And I've also
that you're not allowed to fill out in blue.
I remember it being a thing.
I know athletes won't sign in blue.
Why?
There's like a superstition?
No, it's like a fake thing.
I think it's easier to fake blue or something.
I don't know the exact reason.
There's no athletes won't sign in blue or celebrities in general.
I don't think I even have any blue pens.
I used to have black pens.
But I've also noticed that the regular IRS is much more on the ball
with cashing your tax checks than the state is.
Because like I'll send in the quarterly to federal.
And like I swear it's like the second of that check arrives,
they're like boom.
And like I see it in my account,
my checking account like deleted or removed from that.
And I was like sitting on Missouri was like sitting on a check for like almost a month once
where I'm like, did I fuck this up?
Am I going to get a letter?
And then just one random day check and they had taken it.
And I was like, oh, thanks for that.
yeah they're they're on the
man I the IRS is so frustrated
you know I think we could fix a lot of tax
shit in the country if we just
suddenly made it
so there there are no withholdings
from W2 employees and
they had to write the check at the end of the year
like people would be up in arms
over it because like how many people do you know
who misunderstand the process and they're like
I got a tax refund and it's like
they weren't being nice
like they
You overpaid.
That's a common one where people just don't really have a grip on how much they pay in taxes.
Another one is people who don't understand how brackets work.
They think that, let's say a bracket dividing line is at 40 grand.
They're like, no, no, no, no, I don't want that promotion.
I'd rather make $39, $9.99, $99, because one more penny and I take home less.
It's like, you're a stupid person.
You don't deserve that promotion.
Yeah.
It's like, dude, this is like a three sentence explanation.
on any search engine.
If you were just a little curious,
like why would it work?
Does anything work that way where it does?
Like,
I know that,
okay,
so like an example of the positive is when I was selling cars.
The difference between selling 14 cars and selling 15 cars is substantial in your
paycheck.
You could lose money to selling the 15th and you'll make another $3,000 this month.
I can't think of anything that has a harsh penalty like that.
There are some things like dates, like long-term capital gains,
are much lower taxed than short-term capital gains.
So it's like if you wait three more days to sell this and it's more than a year old,
great things happen for you.
You should chill.
But I can't think of anything where it's like to a disadvantage to earn an extra dollar.
No, I wouldn't think so.
You just, you know, that $40,000, you just lose an extra, you know, 9% of it or whatever it would be.
Another thing people don't get is charitable stuff.
No one ever gave away a million dollars and turned out better for it.
Now there's tricky shit where like I buy art for $10, pretend it's a million,
donate it to myself, and now I've got a million.
That's not what I'm talking about.
Yeah, yeah.
But, you know, like, oh, he fed all these kids.
Well, he got a tax deduction for it.
That was an act of generosity.
Would you just respect it because he could have kept that money and had more?
Yeah. Yeah. I think that's why a lot of them do the like little charity loophole where they donate to their own charities where it's like, oh wow. Who'd you donate to Bill Gates with $150 million? Ah, the Bill Gates, you know, fund for children and animals. Like, okay.
I know someone who has a nonprofit and when it was explained to me the intricacies of the various tax advantages and financial advantage.
managers. It was like one of those where you're like, yeah. Yeah, that's it. You figured it out.
They can't get you now. It was like, this is it. It was so funny. I'm going to start a nonprofit.
And it's going to be the, it's going to be Taylor's home for self-reliance. And I'm going to,
and we're going to, we're going to donate to go fill in those wells, Mr. Beast, Doug.
Teach a man to dig.
You know, that's our motto.
Same with those glaucoma surgeries.
He's going in there, putting the cloudy eyes back in.
My organization would be right up there with like Boko Haram.
Like they'd be, you'd be saying, this guy's a menace.
Going around with an excavator filling up wells.
No, but I'd save money on taxes.
Didn't he give a bunch of people artificial legs or something?
Didn't he give a whole bunch of people?
He did.
I watched that video.
He's literally a modern day, Jesus Christ.
Were they blade legs?
He's helped more cripples than Jesus did.
I only remember like one of two that Jesus helped.
I think that's nothing.
Mr. Bees does that every day.
I think it'd be better to give a thousand kids blade legs than 1,500 kids,
those ones that are kind of peg-legged and shitty.
Okay, yeah, no peg-legs.
Yeah, well, have you seen some?
Legs.
But they like,
they don't bend right.
They're not,
they don't look that great.
This is like a Mr.
Beast.
I just see these on my.
This is a Mr.
B's video.
So obviously it's edited and such like that.
But so many of them walked really well right away.
Like this is a person that's wheelchair bound.
They give them a leg.
And they had like the balance beam that they're the parallel bars I meant to say.
You know,
if you're a gymnast to help them walk.
But some of them barely relied on them.
And I was just like,
these people were able to take a couple steps.
pretty well.
And Mr. B's commented on it too.
He's like,
one guy was a double amputee
and he walked better than some of the single amputees.
And it's like, shit, this guy's got it cooking.
Good for him.
Yeah, that,
it all comes down to if it's a below or above the knee amputation.
Because if they're above the knee,
then it's like you can only expect so much.
They kind of have to do that going to get toilet paper
when in the middle of a shit walk.
but like if it's below the knee
you can get a lot of action
you can even murder your own girlfriend in the bathroom
yeah
through God anything is possible
through blade legs
anything possible
I would be afraid if I saw one of those
blade legged people like coming after me
real fast I don't know the implications
of a man running at that speed
those guys are moving it would have to be
I would only be afraid of a double
blade legged man because a single
blade legged man is just going to be running in the
circles in the parking lot. He's going too quick.
He's going too quick on one side.
I don't think you can have a disadvantage of the blades.
Obviously for straight line speed,
they have to be the best as far as I know.
They might be better than regular feet.
But what like if you have the money for it,
right? You're rich, rich.
Do you not just rock blade legs like as the default?
Like anytime you're not at a formal occasion?
You go to dinner like it with blade legs like knocking tables over and shit like nine
feet tall.
If I was a double
NBT, I would be taller.
And everyone, everyone's like, oh, we love the
Blake. No, that's not how it go. They'd be like, fuck,
the blade runner's here.
Oh, damn it. This guy's going to fucking Mr.
Magoo his way through the main area.
Yeah.
Can I think you get that to the ceiling?
I bet.
Not a traveling,
but what a pogo stick.
That's what you get up there.
I bet the blade legs are
more difficult to use
when you're like standing still
or attempting to like walk
very casually through like a supermarket aisle
and you don't have a cart to lean on
right you're just sitting here like this
like I'm getting a little seasick from my legs
yeah you just always look like
like the starting screen
for a character in a fighting
way
back to it
yeah I hope I never get crippled
I hope not too
there's some rough ways to lose your legs too
like if you lost like a leg in like a rack
it's like first of all you kind of knew what you signed up for
and second of all badass way to lose your leg
I bet the VA is gonna take care of that brother
you'll be good you'll be good
but like when you lose one to like diabetes
I bet
I can't remember what comedy it's from
but they're like they see the guys missing the leg
and they're like simplified brother
and he's like diabetes
always sunny the hand
you lose that hand brother
diabetes.
Yeah, that would be
shitty. But I mean, like, you lose your
leg in Afghanistan, like, out of nowhere,
what's to be done? You stepped on a mine or you got blown up. You couldn't have
avoided it, really. You lose your lower appendages
to diabetes.
Like, you lose your, like, you lose your, like, foot or whatever to diabetes.
You've been, like, talking to doctors, I would have
imagine for like three or five years and they've been like,
let's get it together.
Hey, like four years prior, you went in and you're like,
what can't I feel my toes ever and they kind of burn?
And the doctor's like, it's time to the Snickers are too much.
No more Costco Snickers boxes for you.
And then to ignore that for like half a decade.
And then eventually the doctor's like,
we've had,
there's been two presidents since I told you to get this under control.
You could have done it.
You've got to take your foot now.
What the hell?
it's the Austin Power steamroller.
You're just laying there like, no,
no, as it comes at you at 0.7 miles per hour.
Type 1 diabetes exempt, obviously.
They're dealing with their own thing.
Nothing they can do about that.
Yeah, I have no mercy for the type 2 people.
Like, I know that it wouldn't take my feet because I have enough willpower.
I've seen people in my own life, like, get diagnosed with it and be like,
ah, guess all my rascally Coca-Cola days are over.
I'm going to have to be an adult at 62.
or whatever my grandma was.
She's like, all right, now I don't drink sugar.
You know, she wasn't fat.
She just was giving herself diabetes because she was drinking pure sugar as her, like,
yeah, it's her favorite thing.
Just like imagine if someone was like, all right, you've got serious cancer.
But the trick is, is if you buckle down and diet really, really carefully,
guaranteed it's gone nine months from now.
Every cancer patient would be like, I'm locked in, my fitness pal, on the phone.
We're counting everything.
But that sugar that I think it's, I think you're right.
I think soda is the biggest culprit because people who get addicted to like soda, it's.
The people who lose lens over it, though, either have some like genetic predisposition to like being sensitive to it or whatever.
I'm sure that might be a thing.
But it's it's a minority of people.
I think most of them just like, they're eating candy bags.
They're eating bags of cookies.
They're eating KFC Oreos and washing it down with Mexican Coca-Cola.
Like that's the only.
only way that you eat enough sugar to rot your feet off. Yeah. It really is the only way, I would think.
And again, or you have some, like, fucked up genetics, in which case, it's like, look at the
draw. That just stinks. Yeah. People who get lung cancer when they don't even smoke.
Yeah, I smoked for 10 years. I don't even have a cough. Yeah, my grandparents smoked for decades and
decades, and they're both in their 80s. They stopped a long while ago, but...
My dad's old enough now where it's like, looks like you dodged it.
Like lung cancer, emphysema, all that stuff.
Because he smoked a pack of Marlborough Reds a day for my entire fucking life.
Like, he only quit, like, eight, ten years ago or something like that.
And, like, he smoked Marlboro Reds my entire childhood.
I remember it.
And then, like, there are black and white photos of him at, like, 25 or 28.
He had a fucking smoke in his hand.
You can see it.
Like, this guy smoked his whole life.
He stuck it out.
You can have any negative size.
effects. He never even had like, like, smokers cough, like late at night. Some people will have that,
like none of that. So he's like 73 or something. 73, I think. Yeah, he's born in 53, I think.
Yeah. Okay. So yeah. Then I think he's through the danger zone then. Yeah. Like, yeah, my, my grandparents,
like for many, they stopped probably 20 years ago or so, maybe even a bit more. And they both said,
like not even fully joking, only like 10% joking, being like when we hit 80, we're starting
smoking again.
And like up to like five years ago when they were in their mid-70s, I would be like,
Grandma, you plan on smoking again at 80?
And she'd be like, well, you know, if I can resist, I'm going to, but you know, the plans
to smoke.
And I'm like, she got to 80.
And I was like, so where's the pack of SIGs?
And she's like, you know, I just figured I'll add another year.
You know, I'll just hold, maybe 81, I start again.
And so now she's a little old.
So she's just grinding through it.
What if you go over there next time and she's got like a big like water bong?
She's like, I went to go buy some tobacco, but this just real, this is beautiful.
I love the artwork.
No, she, I, she was having like arthritis pain and didn't want to get on like, I guess there were a bunch of potential
side effects for like regular arthritis drugs.
Sure.
As they're all with everything, I'm sure.
I was like, you should go to a dispensary and just get whatever the lowest edible they have is, ask them about it, get something with like more CBD so it's less psychoactive and then just like cut it in thirds and like just see how you feel.
And she was like taking like tiny little amounts for a bit, not even enough to feel anything.
And I was like, well, then you should probably take a little more.
And she's like, well, I'm just nervous about it.
I've never used marijuana before.
And I don't want to freak out on it or get stressed out.
and your grandpa, you know, he was putting that marijuana cream on his hands for a while.
And he told me, he said, I'd rather just deal with the pain because I'm so, gosh, don't tire all the time.
And I'm just making him sleepy.
So he just got sick of it.
I don't believe in CBD, by the way.
That's one of those, like, like, I believe Charlemagne existed, but I don't believe CBD does any fucking thing.
I think it's snake oil.
Really?
Really.
Yeah.
What are the big claims for it?
Anti-inflammatory and pain belief is, I believe, are two of the key uses for CBD.
they use it as sort of
anti-anxiety as well
like I know they're like dog chews
there's CBD for when your dog's afraid of lightning
my dog just got fat on she's still she's terrified
she's terrified and fat
like congratulations CBD chews you've done nothing
that fat ass fucking dog dude I was making chicken breast
the other night I had two huge chicken breasts on the
counter that I had brined for 24 hours
and now I've got them on the counter I'm like letting them come to room
temperature and dry off a little bit before I smoke
them and she came in at like I walked away for 10 seconds to to make sure the smoker was up to
temperature and when I came back she was scuttling away with a whole raw chicken breast in her
mouth trying to wolf it down I had to pull it out of her throat like you got her in a headlock
pulling the raw thing out of her fucking throat it was two in the morning by the way it was two in the
morning prime chicken cooking hours prime cooking chicken yeah I went to chat chippy t because I thought
CBD was more like established than Kyle said it was Kyle's right um on like 99
percent right. Depression, relaxation, inflammation. It's all like the evidence is so weak. It might
as well be untrue. For sleep, it's weak. Anxiety. The one thing it's good for are rare seizure disorders.

Okay. And marijuana is also not good for pain. I don't know if y'all have ever been like,
oh, I've got a headache. Let me smoke a joint. Never once. Never once. Like, it doesn't help.
Well, it wouldn't be good for a headache.
it's not good for any pain.
Like if your knees are hurting you, he's burning a joint going to hell.
Good for nausea.
That's about it, though.
It's good for nausea.
If you're taking cancer meds that make you nauseous,
and you don't want to take, like, the prescribed stuff that works perfectly with seemingly no side effects,
then you can smoke weed.
I avoid perfect drugs with no side effects.
It works so fast.
You can be allergic to that, or there could be a reason why you can't take that.
And I know with, like, appetite, like marijuana helps, especially people who weren't smoking it beforehand,
it just if they have appetite issues from cancer drugs or whatever it helps with that but i don't
believe it's helping anybody with their pain uh i think it helps PTSD depression uh rest maybe but i've
heard you don't get as like restful sleep like it's you get sleep but it's not as restful yeah
definitely true with weed or any substance i those like pills that they give you at the hospital
for like post-surgery immediate nausea relief yeah i had a friend who was a nurse i assume he still is
This was years ago.
And so, like, we'd be going out on the town.
Everybody's getting fucked up.
And then the next morning, everybody's waking up and, like, feeling nauseated.
Now, nausea is never, that's never been a side effect of a hangover for me.
But I had a couple friends who had really bad nausea.
And he would be like, take this.
And it was just like a little half glass of water and talk to me in 20 minutes.
And they'd be like, this is honestly outrageous.
Like, where do you get these and how do I get more?
And he'd be like, oh, no, this is one of those things.
so powerful that if you start routinely taking this, you're going to have horrible stomach issues
for a long time. This is like an emergency like, you know, pulled chain. Yeah, like a plan B version
of like if your nausea is so intense that you feel like you're going to vomit all over yourself,
it'll get rid of it. But it's not like private. I still like a bottle. I get nauseous
every now and then I'd love to stop it. We have it. We always have stuff in the house that is that stuff.
Oh, okay. Yeah, I just don't get nauseated too, too easily. If I do, it's because I get food poisoning.
And I probably need to be sick.
I can't remember the last time I took it.
Probably three years ago with the catamine thing, like something like that.
Have you heard that Shane Gillis story where he's, he's feeling really sick.
And he goes to the doctor, and he's been sick for like a whole day.
And he's like, I don't know, daughter.
I eat these chicken fingers.
I think it's that.
And they're like, how many drinks do you have in a week?
And for some reason, he just decided for once he'd be honest.
And he was like, 80.
And he's like, okay, okay.
But really, how many drinks do you have in a given week?
He's like, I drink 80 drinks a week.
And the doctor's like, it's not the chicken fingers, brother.
It's not the chicken fingers brother.
And he goes home, threw up, fine the next day.
It was the chicken fingers.
Oh, see, that's, that's either the chicken fingers that he's eaten 100 times,
or it's the 27 buttlights he had the night before.
That story's good, but I liked Dicks even better.
The doctor's like, ah, what do he?
He's like, I have like, I don't know, five drinks every night and cocaine on weekends.
and the doctor's like, what?
It's like, everybody does.
They just lie to you.
Cocaine on the weekend.
Well, yeah, you got to suppress the appetites.
The alcohol calories don't catch up to you.
I see what he's doing.
It's genius.
Yes, yes, yes.
This is a great thing.
I think they blow that out of proportion.
I get that it's unhealthy,
but them acting like they're shocked
that someone could have 80 drinks a week.
If you're drinking, 80 drinks,
it in the week
isn't that insane.
It seems like a lot to be.
I'm sure.
Oh, it is.
Oh, it's a lot.
Is that 11 and 12 a day, I guess?
Something like that.
Between 11 and 12 a day.
But that's assuming that he's drinking every single day throughout the week.
Oh my gosh.
Yeah.
Dude.
He's had some ragers.
Like,
11 beers would ruin me.
What if you stretched it out over eight hours, though?
You know, that's a good day at the beach.
I tried to drink 24 beers in a day once.
and I couldn't come close.
I got, it's not even there.
I've drank maybe.
It would just be a terrible day, but I could do that.
I'd have to take, I'd have to take like two sleeps.
How would you do it?
Would you try to take a beer an hour and even like wake up and space it like that?
Or would you start with six and just get ahead of the game?
I'd be eating the whole time.
I think the one per hour would only be appealing early because that's going to catch up to you
and you're going to pass out before you're done.
I would like start at midnight because I'm,
I'm going to need every second of this 24 hour period.
You don't get up to 14 hours.
You can start at once time.
Okay.
Okay.
Rolling 24.
I was being stricter than you guys were, but I would start and I would try to drink like 10, 12.
I'd try to get through half of it as fast as I could.
Oh my.
And then pass out, fall asleep, get like six, seven hours of sleep and then wake up and
immediately start going again and then hopefully pass out by the end of that.
It would be brutal.
And that's also like, that's banking that I would wake up after that six, seven hour nap and not just sleep way longer from being, from having drank so much.
It would be tough, actually.
Be easier with vodka.
Yeah.
And also, if he's having 80 a week, there's a big difference between 80 Bud Lights, BLs, as he calls them, or 80, like IPAs.
Like 80 IPAs wouldn't be possible.
Is a Ruther Ranger an IPA or is that even more?
That's an IPA.
Yeah.
That's oh.
Yeah, that's very strong.
But it's also big.
IPAs aren't always as big as a Router Ranger.
No, it's just the strength.
It's like nine inches tall.
Yeah, like light beers like Shane's having are like four point something percent.
And then IPAs can be like eight plus.
So like everything.
It's like literally twice as strong.
I think Vouta Rangers are 11, but I could check it.
Yeah, it's like double beer.
That is so funny.
That's like such a post party thing to do.
to have like 20 bud lights and some chicken fingers and wake up the next day and be like,
oh man, something off with those fingers.
It must have been the honey mustard that I was slathering.
That's still all over my face.
They're between 7 and 11.
They're not all the same.
Sorry, go ahead.
Did you ever watch season three of tires?
I haven't yet.
No, I need to.
It's legitimately good.
Like, it's like a different show.
I haven't looked into the production of the show.
And if they hired new writers or new.
like director or something, but the first two seasons felt very much like it was just an excuse
for Shingillis and his buddies to tell crude jokes back and forth. And the third season has like
a storyline with characters and a plot. And it's a lot of it's outside of the, the tire shop. And, like,
the tire shop stuff matters, but it's really good. Like, like, I was, I found myself caring what
happened. You know what I mean? Like, like, they, they had a good enough plot that I was invested in it and,
and wanted to see what happened next. And Shane Gills is a pretty good actor. And it's got like,
is it Mark Norman? Is he the, uh, the guy that does like the Randy Savage voices and stuff?
No, that's Dan Soder. Dan Soder is in there playing an autistic man. I love Dan Soder. That's
oh, that's, oh, good. Soder's character is hilarious. He is like an autistic car collector who wants to be
friends with one of the mechanics and just talk cars all day. And Shane, like, overhears.
this weird conversation they're having
that's awkward and he's like oh yeah you guys should be best
friends you should probably swap numbers right now
so that you can stay in contact with each other all the time you know
and Dan Seder's like yeah I was just thinking that and he pulls out
a piece of paper with his number written on it that he's he had ready to go
and it gets weirder and weirder
from there that that storyline's really funny
and then like some of the storyline I don't know that other guy's name
the little squirrely guy but like they send a secret shop
manager?
Yeah.
She's cousin in the show, the squirly little guy.
I know the actor's name is Steve Gerben.
Oh, Will is the name of the guy in the show.
Yeah, he's, um, they send it like a secret shopper who's a hot chick to see if they're like,
if they're giving out discounts just because she's prettier or if the manager's
going to behave himself around an attractive woman and stuff.
And she's like, has anyone ever told you?
You look just like Timothy Shalome and his little squirly face being like,
oh, ho, ho, well.
not today
but oh
nothing like
Timothy Shelman
no
it doesn't
yeah
yeah it's really good
I liked it a lot
I'm sure they'll make
a fourth season too
because it's like
they left on a cliffhanger
if it matters
like it really had a plot
and a story
you should listen to
you should listen to the
Matt and Shane
I'm shocked
like if you watch
the first two seasons
you're like
the first two seasons
are good
They mostly hang out in a tire shop and make jokes.
I watched Witters Bay.
I finished it.
What did you think?
I thought it was fine.
It's not like I regret my time on it.
So I liked it.
But I'm not like excited about season two either.
I thought it was just good.
It was fine.
All right.
I think Jackie doesn't want to see season two.
It's 98% on Rotten Tomatoes.
well what's the meta critic
wait is that the one you care about
I thought you cared about the fan
I don't I don't care about either
well now I'm looking up the Metacritic
it's 78
because Metacritic is one that doesn't
I think I'm going to line up with the professionals
8.1 Metacritic removes fewer reviews
is what I've heard
than
Rotten Tomatoes
they have 26 reviews here though
total
yeah you're not alone
everyone seems to like the show more than me
like across the internet
in my little circle
I don't think you like the humor
I don't think you appreciated the dry humor
what was funny about that show
oh yeah
made one funny part
there's like every episode's full of like jokes
it's like really dry understated humor
that no one laughs at
they kind of just like sits in the air
humor that no one laughs at
no the characters don't laugh amongst themselves
like they're making these dry
Funny. And seriously, give me an example of anything funny from that show. Because you're not alone. You're in the majority. I'm in the minority here. It's the mousy girl is probably the funniest character. The, the mousy girl who works at Steadie Hall. And she has, she's the one who was like stalked by the killer supposedly back in the day. She's constantly like funny. Like, just a really awkward dry humor reacting to the mayor and everything. And the mayor's really funny. Like his reactions to stuff.
it. But there was one point
where she admitted to a truth
that it was kind of funny.
I was like,
I believed you this whole time.
Yeah, I dig it. I believed it too.
I like the show a lot.
My girlfriend loved it too.
It reminded me a little bit of,
oh shit, I just spaced on the name of that show.
What's the, it's, uh,
give me a hint.
Maybe I can help.
Island.
It's called Midnight Mass.
Midnight Mass is like one of my favorite pieces of
TV, movie,
media, you name it.
Is that the scarier one on Netflix
from like three years ago? That's another one
that everybody liked more than I did.
I like that one.
I love that.
Dude, I was playing Rainbow Six
and someone did an impression
of me and the impression
included, yeah, everyone
thinks this, but I disagree. I have my own
opinion on it. I guess
I do that too much.
Never let them change who you are.
Stay strong.
Well, we should hop off because we do have a hangout next to you.
