Starting point is 00:01:26 I'm ready to kick butt. Budding kicking. Let's go. Well, watching it. They got all the right beats, Greg. All the right beats. Oh, God, I love this show so much. It goes all the way up the ladder.

Starting point is 00:01:45 We got to get to the top of this. We got to get to the top of this, the bottom of this. We've got to go all around. All around. Up and down. He needs someone to be like, I trusted you. I'm so happy that we're exploring the back story of the New California Republic. this is like everything i've ever wanted as a fall off fan uh this is truly intriguing mystery

Starting point is 00:02:05 i am i am hooked i have no idea where it's going and and i think every storyline is so gripping and and it's like watching a messed up stepford wives um yeah that idealic utopia uh of perfect society you're and you really don't really i don't know exactly i have no idea what's going on like are they like what is going on like clearly there's some it feels like the old days of lost, you know, where you're like, I'm not, I feel like I learned so much, but I learn nothing. No, that's exactly, and not having any idea of like, are they good? Are they bad? Yeah.

Starting point is 00:02:41 I good. Am I bad? Is this person brainwashed? Yeah. Are they not brainwashed? Yeah. No, it's, and that's the beauty of fallout is it's constantly, it's throwing everything on its head all the time and keeping you guessing in the most miraculous and wonderful of ways. And I think the really, really exciting thing is that because of the fact that like, like, Vault Tech and like the, it's a story that literally spans hundreds of years. And I think that's just the coolest thing in the world that like you are seeing these things. And each fallout game

Starting point is 00:03:21 takes place at like a different point in time, which also adds additional elements where like it's, it's kind of neat um for me as like a fan of the games to like position and be like oh okay this is where we're at in the the overarching like you know um trying to like connect all those dots uh but it's i it i'm so impressed particularly with how they've done such a good job at like for somebody that's like a huge fan of the games they've been able to like feed like the big like macro wants that i wanted for this series and also have like not failed in the slightest at this extremely focused personalized drama um and it's fun it's dark it's weird it's scary it's just all these bonkers things combined into this like perfect smorgish board of like weird

Starting point is 00:04:26 fallout magic and uh and it just it feels real which i just i don't i have no idea how they're pulling that off like honest like for such a fantastical weird ridiculous world i'm like so impressed that i am like fully bought in and uh yeah god i just i love this freaking show um well kind of feels like the road um when they're traveling together uh what's what's his name man Yeah, Maximus. Maximus. Maximus and Lucy traveling together and watching their kinship form, the note that I was like popping up in my head is like, you know, you get to know these characters individually. And one of the strengths of the show is that whenever they have these characters actually interact with each other, even though they spend so much time apart from each other, especially in the beginning, everyone has chemistry and everyone reads off of each other very well. Everyone bounces off each other really well. and I love that you have a true ensemble of a show like that where does it like part of the excitement is oh we're actually going to really see you know Maximus and Lucy interact with one another and you see how this relationship is going to be completely different than all the other relationships that she's formed and at any time you think it's going to go down a cliche path it actually doesn't go down a cliche path and I appreciate that they drive away from that and it's so much about watching the affect of it because like i absolutely adored that scene um on the on the train on the bridge yeah the bridge um when they saw them in the distance and they couldn't make out the strangers

Starting point is 00:06:09 and then you're like maybe lucy's idea look away yeah might be able to be a positive influence on the world and you really don't know which way it's going and they're playing the music and then in a heartbeat it goes wrong yeah thrilled to be partnering with a brand I've been using for nearly two years now, then that's Harry's razors. I'm generally more drawn to anything that goes against the norm, and Harry's does just that in the grooming world. They saw the high prices in the industry and decided to blaze their own trail with quality and affordability. I keep a beer, but whenever you see these cheeks in the neck clean,

Starting point is 00:06:41 and that's the work of Harry's right there. Keeps my wife happy, and Harries makes it effortless. Their precision blades, it cuts smoothly with less drag, making every shave satisfying. And yes, it's versatile for other areas, too, you know what I mean? So as a Harry's devotee, I can vouch for their value. You can experience unparalleled comfort and quality in your grooming routine where exceptional craftsmanship meets affordability, making a smart choice for a top-not shave without breaking the bank. Their kits and value packs for shaving are unbeatable, but Harries is not just about shaving. Again, they offer top quality, thoughtfully designed grooming products, including shampoo, conditioner, and amazing body wash.

Starting point is 00:07:15 Without the premium price. Quality affordability. That's a thesis of this. Now, these I actually pulled right from my own bathroom. I regularly use their five-blade razor with a nice weighted handle and their foaming. shaving gel, man, this debor, it is a game changer. I just like the feel of it. Now I have to commit to keeping this in my hand the whole time because I'm not going to go to the bathroom in the middle of shooting this. The handles, they feel perfectly balanced. And the razor's sleek

Starting point is 00:07:39 design is a classy addition to my bathroom. And the quality of the shave, unparalleled. Gotta reiterate, keep part of my weekly grooming ritual because their entire range of products fits seamlessly into my routine. Stephanie no reshoot's here. Their German engineer blades are durable and refill plans are economical. Rarely use the word economical, but I'm using now plus their commitment to high customer satisfaction and no risk trial makes harry's a no brainer this jo really does feel good let me say once more choosing harries means quality and affordability by grabbing your $13 trial set for just $3 at harries.com slash rejects you're not only getting a great deal but you're also supporting this channel that's harries dot com slash rejects for your $3 trial set stay sharp and

Starting point is 00:08:18 embrace the extraordinary with harries till next time reject nation till next time you know there's a moment where I, like, literally thought they were going to, like, compliment each other's outfits. Like, I literally was like, oh, it's going to be, like, nice hat. I thought it was just going to go fine, and it didn't. And I thought, and the way, how are you watched, like, Lucy just so devastated. Yeah. It's so wonderful. So I think the way they're illustrating our characters is beautifully done.

Starting point is 00:08:44 And, but at the same time, Lucy barged into the creepiest, sketchiest, shouldn't go in their room. And then whimsically ended up in a place that is arguably the safest, best possible option of where she could have landed. And I think that kind of gets to the heart of it of like, it's both of these characters. I'm particularly excited for Maximus because I think there's been a Maximus feels like he can't be himself or he has to be this caricature of himself. and I feel like Lucy is going to be the character that can help him be actually Maximus. And there's like that kind of like big moment when she like asked for his name

Starting point is 00:09:35 and I was like, please say your actual name. Please say your actual name. And then when he said Titus, I was like, damn it. Yeah. Well, I think they're philosophic, the way they believe is they both follow an order, right? Yeah. And the difference in the way they follow

Starting point is 00:09:48 is Lucy genuinely believes in everything she was taught and like that golden rule shit like she firmly believes in that stance as an individual as a person yeah and in maximus like needs something to believe anybody has no individuality and you're watching these characters who led their whole lives designed by like this construct of a belief system yeah and now they have to make their own choices in life it's and it's really interesting the pair those two up with each other and then help like the ghoul who's been like a wild card amongst all this. To take that to like a larger like macro philosophical level,

Starting point is 00:10:30 the whole world they have inherited has been shaped because of decisions made by people who were put in that exact situation. Sure. Like ultimately the Chinese and the Americans who were indoctrinated could not come to terms. and that led to this and I think that's like and he uh uh maximus like kind of hit that to like yeah at the end of the day it's like a bunch of people trying to save the world ultimately making the same mistake over and over and over again I thought there's like wow what a profound realization for somebody that is actively participating in that same exact process over and over again and it's like it's so and again Ron Perlman where are you like the phrase and they better end the series with it or i will actually be upset and i will i will write a letter to todd howard uh but like war war never changes that is like such a fundamental truth of of this like humanity like humanity never changes the good the bad

Starting point is 00:11:41 and the ugly of it right and i think that lucy represents the good of it and uh the cool represents the ugly of it and you know there's a whole lot of bad but there's in between it there's a whole lot of other stuff too and and you take it and you compound it and ultimately at the end of the day like it is what you make it and it's all very fragile uh and i think that's something that i've always loved about the fallout universe is that it exposes a lot of truths you know that it's it's a very you take away the pleasantries you take away that idealic 1950s and all of the and you peel it back and at the end of the day like if if you give in to what we are not everybody's great but also in the absence of that you also see the best of people and I think that's something

Starting point is 00:12:40 that I at least in my fallout play throughs and again Greg you have no context for what I'm about to say but like I look at like the minute men and like fall out for for instance and like we got to go save another settlement you know there's a settlement neat uh like there is something to be said about in this helpless world going around aimlessly and saving a bunch of NPCs over and over and over and over again and it's redundant and it feels pointless and yet at the end of the day like it's just like radical act of goodness in this world of absolute carnage and awful and um i think you know these dystopian type series and and worlds tend to get this notion of like we're painting a picture of like what the

Starting point is 00:13:36 future is going to be like when in reality i think they're actually painting a picture of what our reality currently is sure and the radical acts of rebelling against that and she showing that we can come back from it. And I think that's just like such a powerful, interesting piece of art. And maybe that's not what Fallout started as, but it certainly is what it's become. And there is like this, and I'm sorry for going off on a tangent here, Greg. When Fallout 76 came out, which is the MMO, there was like a whole lot of questions about like, oh, what's going to happen when you give like players nukes, you know, like, are they're just going to, like,

Starting point is 00:14:17 bomb the crap out of each other. And what ended up happening is the nicest group of players in the history of online multiplayer games. I remember I showed up, I started playing. I was like struggle busing.

Starting point is 00:14:33 And somebody comes up to me and I'm like, oh, I'm about to get like absolutely wrecked by this guy in power armor. And it goes and he emotes and he waves at me and he throws a little like goody bag at me. And I check it and there's like a hundredstim there's like a hundred rataways and there's all these guns and these armors and there's a little

Starting point is 00:14:53 bobblehead and i was just like oh my god like in this post apocalyptic world these people are showing so much kindness and you know i i think maybe it's something to be said about fallout fans and i think maybe that's that's how they view the wasteland um but it's it's why i love this franchise it's why i love this series and i think they captured the magic of that and um Yeah, anyway, rant over. That was a beautiful rant, beautiful monologue. And this is also, the other thing we didn't think about is that this is also a fantastic advertisement for people to play the game. Because I'm like, damn, I've got to play this game.

Starting point is 00:15:31 So, it's worth it. Question for the audience. What fallout game should Greg start with? My suggestion would be Fallout 3. That's where I started. It might be hard to play these days because it's old now. Came out in 2008. But, or Fall Out 4.

Starting point is 00:15:51 Fall Out 4 is probably a good entry point. But I'd love to hear your opinions. But do us a favor, Reject Nation. Don't forget to comment below with your favorite part of the episode and what game you think Greg should play first. Be sure to hit that notification bell. We're going to watch the next episode right now. Are you down?

Starting point is 00:16:11 Sure. One more? All right. We're going to do another episode right meow. We'll see you there. Peace. Tyler Hague. Tyler, listen up. I am ready for your character arc to begin

Starting point is 00:16:27 because you always talk about how chill you are and that's cool. I like that you're chill. I like that you're a friendly guy. I like that you are a protective spirit but a spirit not prone to lashing out. You know what? I feel like... What's the arc? You could do with causing some chaos

Starting point is 00:16:44 into your own life. I always got to get worse. All right. First of all, start taking a lot of caffeine, all right? You want to up your energy level. Because think of how many more shows on how many more screens you could take in with your ADD brain, you know, stimulated. No, in fact, imagine just how many things you could see outside in this life. You would be running through the streets, peering through every window, into every doorway, seeing who you could meet.

Starting point is 00:17:14 And how many people you could talk to individually, except also altogether, in the same room at once. And, yeah, you know, you could be out there hoofing it, growing calves the size of tree trunks, and being like a forest gump of the people. Because, again, you're such a kind heart. Like, it just emanates from you. And it stretches across time. It's been a minute since we've seen each other face to webcam face. But, dude, I feel like you would be out there in the streets, just make. making people's lives better you could be a nomad tyler you could be like a lord of the rings you know

Starting point is 00:17:50 one of those big jolly dudes who's just like always on the move but he always comes through town once in a while and when he does he's got fire you're a wizard harry so uh we love you tyler no matter which of the choose your own adventures of life you decide to ultimately embrace we love you and are compelled by you as a character so keep on keep it on or don't or change it up either way we'll be tune in next season. Love you, buddy.
