Hey guys, so if you're watching this on YouTube, I'm doing like the, I finally got a bunch of film roles developed, the photos of Yehaw Fall, and a lot of them turned, I'm very happy with how a lot of these turned out.
And what I wanted to do, and so you're going to see them in the background here, and I'm going to talk about a fucking goose biting me.
One of these photos is of the goose, and you're going to know it when you see it.
it's a menacing photo
it's even black and white
I don't like using black and white film
I really like color
but it
I'm glad I took this one in black and white
what a menacing aura
this fuck
yeah the marshmallows
yeah it's supposed to give this marshmallow
flavor it wasn't the word Buddhism I swear to gut
we're not talking about any of this shit
I've been way too fucking serious
we're done with his nonsense
let's talk about the fucking geese
so I try to feed the ducks
and I know that it's liberal handouts
and I'm making them dependent
but I try to feed the ducks at the park
and the ducks are nice
they're pigeons too
and they're ugly
and I feel like they don't deserve it as much
but I'll feed them too
that's funny
the problem is the fucking geese that are there
are so fucking large and aggressive
I didn't even realize
as they were drawing nearer and near to me
that it was meant to be menacing
I thought those are big ducks
and I just kept doing my thing
and you're like a child
Like a kid
Like a kid who doesn't realize
They're about to get attacked by a flock of geese
One of them, yeah, he bit me on the fucking arm
I don't think the bruise is now gone
Yeah, no, it was a pretty big bruise
Or not even a big bruise
But like a deep bruise
Yeah, no
And it really bothers me
Because now those ducks are going to go hungry
Just because these fucking geese are such
Unbelievable assholes about the whole thing
but that's why welfare doesn't work
I'm glad that we're getting into
ducks and
social welfare of ducks and all that
you know what's funny about pigeons though
is that people eat those things like that's a commonly
hunted animal in this area
especially my dad and brother
it's like you can really read between the lines of that sense
my dad and brother would hunt pigeons
well dubs but I mean I think
it's really just a framing difference
yeah I don't fucking get it though man
I just like, hey, you want to go to, like, shoot birds off of power lines?
That's 90% of what that is.
And, like, fence posts.
And it just, like, well, no, the, you're supposed to yell or something, make a noise.
Because otherwise, yeah, there's no sport in it.
It's the equivalent of going into a clay pigeon factory and shooting all the boxes.
Like, oh, what a marksman you are.
Just the doom music starts playing as you walk in with your, like, hunters orange.
They just keep pulling.
you back, but you just keep shooting.
Oh, so I want to start doing this thing where we respond to comments.
There's a few reasons for this.
Number one, it will improve the algorithm because we're going to get more comments,
and Al Gore will be pleased.
Al Gore, I like that.
It's like an Eldridge guy.
It's his rhythm.
It's his Al Gore rhythm.
I've always mentally thought of it that way.
Sounds like a Russian dancer.
Anyway, no, I've resolved to stop being such a fucking downer.
We're not going to talk about Al Gore and how we're cooking ourselves.
and how fucking hot it is today.
It's almost December.
I hear Christmas music when I turn on the radio.
I still run at 5 a.m.
in like a tank top and short shorts and shit.
Like it's not even fall.
Anyway, we're not talking about climate change.
We're talking about mean geese.
You know what?
They got to live out there in the climate.
It's air conditioned in here.
Fuck the geese.
They deserve it.
I go out there and I pour crude oil on them.
Teach them a fucking lesson.
Yeah.
But, oh, wait, I don't know why I went to my channel.
So, I can already say one of the comments we got on the last one.
Hold on, I have a cold.
It is here that I step away from the podcasting studio, which is my filthy desk, to get a tissue.
Well, I'm a single man, so I don't have, like, tissues.
I just have paper towels.
and I have a nice calloused nose
because I'm a fucking man
and if you buy Kleenexes as a man
you're a goddamn woman actually
I think that's stunning and brave
but you should live your truth
we now return to reading comics
So one of the comments we've got in the last one
And it is fair
It's like Wolf should also be allowed
To record later
Oh and do the dubbing
Yeah
He doesn't know how to fucking edit a video
You know, it's funny, I thought about this briefly, like, because, like, you know, I listened every episode before I published it just to make sure there's no issues in it, right?
Even though you already do it, I just do it anyway.
Also, I want to hear myself sound like an idiot.
I hate listening to the sound of my own voice, but, um...
It's awful.
That's why I'm always doing the dubs, because I'm like, what a fucking idiot.
But I read that comment, right?
And I thought to myself, what if there was this, this, like, ping-ponging of us dubbing over and over and over and over and just never progressing?
It's like, yeah.
Yeah, he's a whore.
That guy fucking sucks, man.
I saw him, like, suck off a dog once.
I'm absolutely going to start issuing further corrections whenever you start saying shit.
Oh, God, you can't say some shit after what I just said, can't you?
Maybe, maybe I...
Oh, God, we're there right now.
Oh, no.
See, here, it's like the third top comment, it's flat 42.
Why are you the only one who gets to put in editor notes?
During this whole conversation, Wolf smelled.
And he's a bitch.
But also...
uh i'm now reading the chain of comments beneath that initial comment like one of the comments under that said my first thought exactly if i don't say this you won't even understand what the fuck's going on because i just my immediate thoughts you should have had a second thought which is only one of us is going to edit the fucking thing also wolf doesn't know how no no here he only knows how to draft a memo here you yaha gaming and populate a cell and fucking excel he's fucking useless here you all gaming we have like 10 or 15
15 editors that has to go through, you know.
It would just make it more complicated to add one more
editor to that.
You start hiring it out to
Rajit and fucking India.
And he'll just start being like,
both of these guys smell.
He just starts talking shit on us.
You know, like the stage hand and like Eric Andre,
there was always that guy off the side.
It was like an Asian guy in a denim jacket.
I'm picturing that guy talking shit to us.
But like, imagining that in my mind for some reason.
I'm only willing to do
racist Indian accents
not racist Asian accents
I just wanted to draw the line
you got to draw it somewhere
yeah because all those Asian accents
they're all the same you know
disgusting
racist rhetoric
trying to make others feel small
for something that they can't help
you know
and it's not a choice
you know
Rudgey didn't have
however you
because the thing is
is, if you're an Indian, you can pretend to be something else and maybe get away with it.
Like, I can't tell. You can be like, I'm Bangladeshi, and I'm like, okay, you're all right.
I was like, you're okay.
I don't even know what I'm calling.
I really don't, I don't know enough about India. I'm sorry. I know that, like, Bangladesh is like...
I know that there are two different groups that we refer to as Indian, and one of them is cool, and the other one isn't.
I like that. I like that. I like that. Yeah, I always mentally in my head, I've got that the Daniel and the cooler Daniel meme.
and it's just Indians and the cooler Indians.
What is Daniel in the cooler?
You know, I've heard of that one?
It's just like an old yearbook photo.
This is from like 15 fucking years ago.
So Philosaraptor wolf, he has his claw under his chin.
Shut the fuck up.
And he's thinking.
No, it's a picture of two guys.
It's the same guy in like a yearbook or some shit.
One of them is Daniel.
The other one is, he's wearing sunglasses and it says the cooler, Daniel.
Oh, oh, Jesus.
Oh, my God, yeah.
I just realized that I have early.
So it's that, but for racism.
I just have dementia.
We're doing a racist tier list in this video.
Which is honestly, it's been a video I've wanted to do for a long time.
I started reading a book about it, and it annoyed me.
We've talked about the Costa paintings.
Wait, wait, wait.
Is that the...
No, no, I don't recall.
It was the Spanish Empire's race tier list.
I remember it now.
Yeah, it's like a big mosaic-looking thing.
Yeah, no.
Well, it was funny because it's...
So I only read, like, the first few chapters of a book about it.
Because I was like, maybe I'll make a video about this.
Because doesn't that sound like a funny title and thumbnail, Race Tier List?
And then you get into the video and it's like, I'm not doing a race tier list.
But I do have favorites, but I'll keep those privates.
That's really funny.
But it's, it was, so for what I got from, the perspective,
because this is sort of the dawn of the modern era.
and consequently
like there wasn't a fully
racism was still a developing discipline
you know it wasn't all there yet
and so consequently
really the perspective on the Costa paintings
it seemed to be more so like
like human zoos were a thing
like the last one in Belgium closed
and I'm going to do a little ad lib here
or not an adlib the fucking
so this is from Wikipedia
which has an entire
fascinating page on the phenomenon
So they're like modern art projects, which are sort of human zoos, but also clearly they're art projects.
They're not meant to be just, look at this.
We got a Congolese here.
However, the last one that I would call really a human zoo seems to have been in France in 1994.
So, of course, the French are of primitive people.
And I think the one that I was thinking of here
was an in 1958
World's Fair in Brussels, Belgium,
which included hundreds of Congolese people
who asked to be sent home
due to the shitty treatment
they got from spectators.
But yeah, it's a highly recommend
good Wikipedia reading right here.
But a human zoo was like,
we got a fucking Swahili over here.
We got a fucking Indian over here.
We got a cooler Indian over there.
It's got rid of it.
but the cost of paintings weren't meant to be like actual tierless so much um but it was like yeah
it's like this is a fucking mulatto and an indian woman and this is a chino which is a chinese
we got a chinese and an indian here because like that this was really in 1491 by charles man
or 1493 they're both go hand in hand but like central mexico after it became like sort of this
feels weird to call it like it was very much like the middle of the spanish empire like if you
you take all the silver out from like peru and northern mexico you'd ship it to mexico city and
then from mexico city you'd go to the pacific coast and then you'd send it china and then you
get your fucking silks and your spices and this and that then ship it back across the pacific
overland route through mexico because obviously teddy roosevelt had yet to invent the panama
canal which he dug with his two bare hands and then we gave it to those dirty panamanians for some
I shouldn't say this
because apparently Trump unironically was saying
shit about this. I don't even remember
the details, but he was like, that's ours
still. It was like a hundred
year-long deal. That wasn't long enough.
Anyway.
Oh, God.
But then overland through Mexico.
But, like, Mexico City had the world's
first Chinatown.
You know, like, it was
you know, Chinos.
It just makes me laugh at what they call them.
Sounds funny what you say.
You make it tell like you're trying to say the N-word, but not badly.
No, that's the Mexican word for black.
Is it saying the N-word badly?
Anyway, but yeah, it's just incredible racial diversity,
not just like of Spaniards and, you know, native Mexicans.
Native Mexicans, you know what I'm saying?
People central, native to the Mexican valley.
But just people from all fucking over there were like African slaves, of course, too.
I just wanted to add to this.
There weren't exclusively, not just African slaves,
but one of the conquistadors participated in the conquest of the Aztec Empire was a black man.
His name was Juan Garrido.
Also, Wolf, he's going to mention a kitten later, and he beats it.
I watched him do it.
He's trying to train it is what he says, but I don't think you can train a kitten.
I think he just likes inflicting.
pain upon it but I let them it's it's pretty fun but yeah cost of paintings were
essentially race tier lists and I highly recommend anyone look them up they're they're
just interesting but but the point of them was not just this is the hierarchy but also
look at the all the different types of people we got here because it was like the
first real cosmopolis you know just Mexico City what is the Cosmopolis I'm
sorry you're gonna have to like run that back to me real like a diversity like New York
city is cosmopolitan you know like it's got you know it's got all different types of people
they got a chinatown there too i don't know why but like uh just no no i said that like that was
news i just like uh while we're on the the subject of weird specific classifications of race
like uh what is it um oh my god there was i don't know who made it up but where do uh quadrangs
or quadroons come from oh quadroon that's like a one-fourth black
or some shit, is my understanding.
Is it an American, British, Dutch?
Like, who, where did that term come from?
And it's so weird sounding.
I'm going to, frankly, assume Mexico, but I'm not sure.
I, I don't know.
Yeah.
So my point is, you'd think Mexicans are just Aztecs and Spaniards,
but there's all sorts of shit in there.
It was that Dreaming Spanish website that I'm always using
to practice my Spanish.
It was funny what, so one of the girls that does that,
she's Colombian and she looks vaguely Asian but that's like not even unusual you know because
a bunch of a bunch of the cooler Indians look Asian like it's because they are if you go far
back enough you know they were Siberian right and uh but she did one of those DNA tests and that
was one of the videos it was actually pretty interesting it was mostly funny she was like more
African than she was pre-Columbian Native American inexplicably she didn't
didn't look at it at all. So I actually wanted to say that woman who I'm talking about, she lives
in Cartagena, which is a large city in Colombia. Between 1595 and 1640, Portuguese merchants
shipped between 250,000 and 300,000 Africans into Spanish America. Ports of entry were Santa
Domingo, Havana, Vena Cruz, and above all, Cartagena, which received more than half the total
number of slaves legally shipped to Spanish America between 1549 and 1640.
So it looks like Cartagena was a real capital of importing African slaves into the Spanish
New World. Isn't history fun? And that reading was from Empires of the Atlantic World,
Britain and Spain and America, 1492 to 1830 by J.H. Eliot. That was page 100. Also in the interest
of being exhaustingly literal, she was not.
majority African. It's just over 10% of her DNA was. I sound like a real fucking
school measure right now. But it was just that you just throw the entire world into a
blender and that's how you get a Latino. I know that we're talking about like a
beautiful example of cultural diffusion in the modern era. I know you didn't make this up,
but like you you talk about like the La Rasa thing, right? Yeah. And it's always funny. It's like
Which one? It's all of them together. I don't understand.
I don't get it either. That's why I'm talking about. I don't get it, man.
I get being like a, even that doesn't quite make sense.
Because, like, obviously, like, sub-Saharan African isn't one group. It's just, you know, send them all over here.
A lot of stuff going on there.
Yeah, it's a lot of different peoples there.
But, like, any Latino supremacy in general, it's like, you can't even measure the skull.
I don't know if I'm calling
I can't even fit the 4-7
Oh God man
Let's talk about gaming for a second man
Sure let's talk gaming
It's not gaming
Today's gonna be a good fucking day
Because I'm switching my kitten to dry food
And as soon as I go home
I am I don't know why I brought that up
No there's a big milestone
I mean it's good man
She's not using milk anymore
And then I'm playing out of worlds too
I haven't touched it
I don't know anything about it
I love the first game, but I'm so ready for the second one.
There will be another John Ratwater play-through, and it's going to be bloody.
It's going to be bloody.
There'll be contracts.
There's going to be, what is it, NDAs.
There's going to be all kinds of fucked up weird shit, man.
All I know about it is that with all the self-awareness of an autistic given Microsoft charged $80 for that shit initially.
Really?
They backed down on it.
Really?
That's why that shit's on GamePass now
Because everyone got pissed off
Well it's on GamePass
I mean Microsoft was publishing it
They on Obsidian
That makes sense
But yeah no
I mean
Did we talk on the podcast about
Them fucking like
It's every time you bring up GamePass
Now it's a good deal
I'm like yeah for now
Because you know it's like wow
Standard Oil
You know I don't know if I care for this John D. Rockefeller
But it really is the cheapest gas in town
That's standard oil
Exactly
Exactly
It'll never change
No, yeah, I don't think we brought it up since the price increase, but...
Not just an increase, it was like a 50% increase, right?
It was like something crazy.
It went from, like, 16 to 30 bucks.
I think that depends on what tier you're right.
I was always paying for the higher one.
It was the ultimate, yeah.
Yeah, I think it was...
But now that's half a full-priced game.
That's like one and a half fucking hollow nights a month, I think.
Yeah, that's...
I can't remember if hollow night was 20 or 30, but...
I've never played hollow night, but the price is getting pretty up there.
This is the initial part of the podcast where I tell you to move that fucking
can okay yeah all right i'm sorry i i think i have actual insurance on my fucking computer
you're not a real gamer unless you've got insurance yeah you should do that of all people
yeah no absolutely yeah because like other than that you have to become a monk for like a week
until your new computer comes and if that's a case you have to buy that shit on new egg on a
fucking phone no one's done that shit in a while like there was like an entire month of this past
year where my computer ate shit i don't know what i would have done like that was actually
part of the reason I
I got a
new hard drive
just because
my old one was old
and I had no reason
to think it was failing
but it was like five years old
and I was like I'm not
no
so much cat hair
ran through this fucking computer
at this guy's house
dude it's bad man
that's part of the reason
I stopped using mine
I just I gave up the losing battle
there was a bunch of shit wrong with it
but yeah anyway
outer worlds too
I don't know anything about it.
Do you know anything about it?
I heard pretty good reviews.
I know that if you bought the Deluxe Edition, it makes fun of you, as it should.
That's, wait, really?
I don't know.
I called you a sheep, I think, something like that.
Which it should.
I don't know.
I mean, I haven't really been keeping track of it.
I've, I'm not, I bought the first one, and I was like, this is okay, which was the universal take.
But, yeah, no, I hope you like it.
I mean, let me know if it's actually worth playing.
but I don't know.
I've just been replaying BloodBorn on stream.
Check me out on Twitch.
I put on a little bikini.
I get in a hot tub.
I don't even know if they still fucking do that.
But.
I think they're putting like, what is it, like, CGI screens on, like, green panties
while girls are, like, playing games now.
I think that's the thing.
What?
Yeah, so, like, picture a girl's ass, but, like, with, like, some, like, underwear on right.
But you take their gameplay and you, like, I don't know what it's called,
but where you green screen on to the color.
of their underwear, and you just put the game on that.
I think that's where they're at now, so we're at, like, maximum goon.
I think they did that, like, a year ago, so I don't know where we're at now, man.
I'm not plugged into the goon, like, lifestyle.
You could tell me about that, though.
Like, I don't know.
Yeah, I'm not plugged in.
I mean, I got two monitors, and that's a little suspect, isn't it?
That's okay.
At least you don't have a vertical one.
Oh, man.
I used to have one.
and I don't even know why. It was just for like my fucking Discord, but like I don't even use Discord really, partially because I'm uncomfortable with, uh, it's, Discord is so disgustingly fucking horny all the time. You'll just be like talking on there and then someone will come in with a fucking furry profile picture.
Yeah. You feeling a little, feeling like furry's, fur is a little, uh, heretical bud?
it's so past
to make fun of furies
I don't even care
whatever
we looked up
oh we didn't actually include this
in one of the podcasts
because I used to just like
constantly remove things
for no reason
when I looked up
Obama Cockvor on Rule 34
that actually wasn't there
but uh
that's tragic
that's tragic
you have anything to say on that
I don't know
he has no response
I think he's maybe he's a little disappointed
but you know I think what he's mostly disappointed
about the fact is that we've yet to mic him up
I uh we need to start actually doing a video component
at this fucking point but I I've just
I have to charge all three of my fucking camera batteries
is that literally it it's like well it's not just that it's
so the set up that you have here yeah I'm facing the fucking wall
you're mostly facing the wall yeah and it's just my monitor
I guess we could put some goon material up here in the future to keep it visually stimulating.
But we could have a goon studio.
That's what I'm saying, man.
This is the first podcast by gooners, for gooners.
I know you're out there jorking your tanks.
We're there with you.
What do you say about Charlie?
Charlie moved out, right?
So I have this empty room in my house.
It's just like a mattress on the floor and a TV.
It looks like a goon, like situation.
I think my mattress on the floor.
That's not a goon.
Well, it's a vendai.
There's a lot of shared space in the Venn diagram.
That's just like a young man thing.
Yeah, I think so.
I don't know.
Like, it doesn't hasten or conciliate, facilitate.
It does not facilitate gooning having your mattress on the floor.
If anything, I think maybe a reclining situation.
Ooh, that does sound nice.
God, you know my brother bought one of those beds?
It was $10,000.
Really?
Yeah.
What a waste of money.
Yeah, he got rid of it after a year.
He's one of those guys.
But apparently it wasn't soft enough.
This giant fucking bed covered with gears and shit.
Yeah, it wasn't soft.
Gears.
Oh, yeah, yeah.
There's like gears and springs and shit in there.
I don't know how it fucking works.
I don't know.
But, like, apparently it didn't work.
Was that for, like, sleep apnea reasons?
I think it was, like, back pain.
You know, he's like a trades guy.
He's alignment.
So, like, back pain and shit and all that.
I don't know.
it's a weird fucking guy man
like every time I hang out with him I forget that like he
he's like five years younger than me right
so every time I think about
older older than me
and I'm like 28 so
he's what's that 33 almost
somewhere in that range
it just we're just so worlds apart
and the media we consume and like kind of like
where we went after it because we consume the same media
as children and as teens but
Like after that, we completely split apart.
Like, when I think about the things he did for entertainment for years,
I'm like, that's so crazy.
Like, he was really into mobile gaming.
Like, really into mobile game.
My little brother got into that.
Like, what kind of games?
Like, Ebony Blade stuff like that.
Clash, oh, see, he never liked Clash.
He liked, like, Ebony Blade for one.
I never even heard of that one.
What's that?
It was like a, I think it was turn-based strategy.
But this was, like, big in, like, I don't know, 2013 to 28.
something in that era right but like he spent like thousands of dollars on games like this
like in the app store just like going around and bucket trucks you know through the
apprenticeship and stuff like that so like it made me think about like how interesting it is
like how differently we went from that point on because like I bought a new console at that
point because right around then I graduated and moved on battlefield and all that you know like
he doesn't like play any multiplayer games and never really had the ability to because by the time
he moved out we got internet at my house
So I got into Battlefield
He is still on like MK
Mortal Kombat Armageddon
That's where his mindset's at
You know he's still in like game
Gameplay color mode
Like this is a guy born in 92
So it's our 90 I think
It's just it's just odd you know
I remember your house always had a
It wasn't out in the boonies
But I mean it I guess it's like if you're in a small town
They're just like these weird dead zones of internet
Like you
You had one of those fucking like Verizon
and puck things.
Oh, the Mi-Fi, yeah.
Yeah, I remember it was like you would take it
into different rooms
just to slightly improve the god-awful
internet connection.
But that's how I downloaded updates to my PS3.
I would set that shit on top of my PS3,
turn it on and hope to God this would go through
and then I would get yelled at
because, like, dude, those updates are insanely large.
So, like, it would just eat up data.
Dude, people don't talk about data anymore like that.
You know, all that shit's manufactured
by all these giant companies
probably it's probably the reason it's like that
yeah no I mean I'm sure one instituted it
and then the rest fell in line
I don't know how that shit works
but if they don't
if they ever don't start in the middle of the conversation
I will be incredibly sad
says the mum for to
the mum
the mum for to flying
I don't be honest with you
I got dyslexia from
reading that i don't really know what that says bro um another one knowing that dj pc enjoys many mini
minute man or at least has a favorable opinion of him makes me temporarily forget that i am in fact
someone he would lash out against on principle thank you mr gaming now i'm wondering why oh amber
hernandez so it's a woman that must be it this is not this is for the boys and it disgust me that
You see, and then the person
right under A-10 Wart Hog
L-O-L, I think,
I suspect, if I were a
betting man, I would say that's a
male, and he said simply Ye-Haw-Gaming
in all caps, and that's the kind of comments I want to see.
See, that's the kind of fan I want to support,
you know, the one who just yells, like
in the background, Ye-Haw-Gaming!
Like, that guy, I like that guy.
Yeah, exactly. Yeah. He gets it.
Also, this guy, Spencer,
wants a mycology episode from you.
I would actually...
Oh, I had a...
I keep having ideas for a fantasy setting,
but they keep revolving around eating people in some way, shape, or form.
Make a D&D campaign.
I don't want to make a D&D campaign.
I want to write a goddamn book, and I'm never going to finish it.
But basically, so basically there's this woman that eats brains.
She also has, what's the name of that disease?
Where you're like, your skin is a patchwork?
The word I was looking for was Vitalego.
I have no idea.
It was very trendy to have models with that.
I want to call it woke.
Just my knee-jerk instinct is to call it.
It's just like it was definitely in that, like look at how brave we are, to use this absolute freak.
Jesus.
What was it called?
Condescending.
I can't, there was a fucking hair in my mouth.
I guarantee that whoever packaged the Zin.
that's currently in my mouth, they put a little pub in there for me.
It was a single Swedish man who has like unlimited health income probably.
I feel like all like those packages are made in like Swedish countries because that's where
they came from.
So I just picture like a little Swedish man putting together a smooth in his package, sending
it to America to rot their gums away.
I'm still as an user, by the way.
I want to make that very clear.
I still love those fucking things, man.
I don't know why.
I just had to quit vaping.
but uh hold on where was i going with this i'm sorry but she eats a brain and she would then understand
their uh she's like the speaker for the dead you know what i'm saying
it's like they're religion you know what i'm talking about i got a whole thing about it she
lives in a mud hut with faces carved into it i'm all that i'm all about that you guys need to
know when he talks like this he's got this far away look at his eyes but also but also the problem is
that then i thought of another cool world building thing and then that
I shouldn't have said that one.
People might take that one.
And use it for their own novel.
They're never going to fucking write.
But basically it's people, they're mushroom farmers and they use dead bodies.
That's like the visual of a field full of dead bodies.
And it's like, you know, mushrooms growing out of them.
What do they use the mushrooms for?
No, they eat them.
Once again, it's all just eating people.
I don't know why it keeps coming back to eating people.
Cannibalism has always been a fixation of the mind.
Because in this world, that means that there is so many.
dead bodies that the excess of them has to be used for mushrooms.
It doesn't logistically, so it doesn't quite logistically work out, though, does it?
Like, the idea of, like, this is being, like, their, so there's, that actually came from,
um, there was this old argument for Mesoamerican cannibalism that what caused it was the
lack of, um, domesticated animals that they could eat, to be clear.
I can't remember who came up with that.
That does not logically.
Yeah, yeah, there's an Azte, Neutral.
nutritionist was like, we have a protein deficiency
and all of our platination.
It doesn't work for a lottery. It's just, it's
it's silly. It doesn't
work. But I find the idea
interesting, like the idea of
like an impoverished people
eating
human flesh because that's all
they can get. Like, I don't know.
The only
exposures to cannibalism that I found, they're all like
ritualistic. There's like some underlying
like it's, they're not doing it
just to sustain their bodies. There's like
something spiritual occurring.
Like the Quran
Kawha, they would eat their enemies
to like damn them.
I had a weird
long period of watching
cannibal themed media
because my ex at the time was.
And we watched like, I think there was one movie called
like bodies or something like that.
That was kind of about,
it was like weird in like a
like a suspenseful, sexy body
horror thriller kind of way.
Women got a thing about that.
Yeah, that movie like that's what kind of started that.
After that, I was like, okay, let's watch Science of the Lambs.
Let's watch all of them, all those movies, right?
And in that case, most of those were based out of, like, trauma of prior victims, right?
But I like the idea of the spiritual aspect of it, or the rock and a hard place aspect are kind of describing, right?
Like, are you not describing, like, a situation where they have to eat people?
Yeah, I'm describing where it isn't spiritual.
Well, maybe it is spiritual in the case of the woman that eats their brains.
I don't know, maybe it will be spiritual for all of them.
I don't know.
What's important is how do I fit the samurai robot that has no purpose in there?
How do I get the Gundam bot in this?
No, the samurai robot is like the main character.
It's his whole thing.
He was, essentially, he was built and he was told that his job is to kill this man
that killed the maker's mother.
But it's like, that wasn't the robot's mom.
And more to the point, essentially, the robot wants to join this order.
And it's sort of, the order's whole thing is like sort of vows of poverty,
of chastity, and how does a robot take a vow
of poverty and chastity? It cannot
give the sacrifices necessary to be
a member of this group
that it was told its entire purposes
to be a part of, because the maker that
created the robot, he didn't understand any
of that shit. They were just people with cool swords
in his head, you know what I'm saying?
I think exploring a theme. But essentially, it's about
sacrifice and purpose, and I've
written the first chapter 30
times. I mean, like, exploring
those themes sound really cool.
Oh, it does sound nice.
The hard part about getting sober is you tell yourself, once I get sober, I'll finish these projects.
And then you get sober and it's like, wow, that shit's hard.
I don't want to do any of that.
Oh, no, honestly, I've always suspected I'd be a better collaborator.
Like, this is maybe a comic that I should work with someone on.
Also, because the problem is, like, all this stuff, a lot of this stuff is, like, I don't know.
Like, I like writing dialogue a lot.
I struggle with plotting.
I like writing characters.
struggle with arcs where does the robot fucking go like this i i have his central conflict i
have his just his driving desire but the thing that i've come with like is essentially like
in order to we're not talking about this well there's something there's a character i have in
mind right he's not a well-fleshed-out character but like uh i think it was immortal engines you're
the first or second book probably
That is the thing where the cities eat each other, correct?
Yeah, yeah.
There was like a movie that was shit or something like that, right?
But there's a character in it called Stalker Fang.
And the whole theme of that whole series, right, is like the several evolutions of civilizations rising and falling and falling and falling and were just at this point of this cycle, so to speak, that's the big overarching theme.
And Stalker Fane was supposed to embody like a man out of time within this, you know, he was like a robot, humanoid cyborg thing, right?
but from several iterations of this cycle in the past, you know,
and what was left was like this kind of confused, almost human being
that all it knew was to stalk one of the main characters and all that.
That's all that it really knew what to do.
But I don't know why, but I'm thinking about that character
when you're describing this robot.
I wish that I said this right before you brought him up,
but I was going to mention how naming characters is hard.
And I've been calling this guy, Samurai Robot, for so fucking long.
and so I shouldn't name him stalk or fang
because it's naming characters his heart
it's a terrible name
yeah like that
it is a children well I guess a young adult
teen fiction teen I'm not even going to say young adult
I know I've talked to you about this
but I remember because I always loved reading
and so naturally English teachers
were always took a liking to me
and I remember
it was like freshman year in high school
and I was always reading young adult fiction
I'm not like embarrassed about that
like I was in the age
the target demographic for that
even if it was primarily aimed at women
that's just like the nature of it
but
I would just bring that up
because I was like getting so fucking tired of love triangles
essentially I was getting tired of
the cliches of it
which is fine
I was also around the age where it's like
you should probably be graduating from that
and it was my English teacher was like you should really read Divergent
and I want to thank the author of Divergent
I forget her fucking name
because that piece of shit book
is what finally got me to stop reading young adult fiction
and pushed me into finally reading the classics
that's what I got into Kurt Vonnegut and Ray Bradbury
from there because I was like what a stupid shit-ass book that this is
I cannot remember the name of the author for that
It was just awful.
There's like, it's a dystopia, society's split, like, even the, the Hunger Games, all right, the Hunger Games is thematically more interesting than people give it credit for.
Because, like, even the love triangle, like, I remember, like, the main character, she wasn't into the love triangle.
She was genuinely in love with one of them, and the other one was like this, she essentially became this revolutionary figure and she didn't want to be one.
She just wanted to
She wanted to have independence
But like that was something that had to be fought for
And so she had to lose her own independence
In this fight for independence
You know what I mean?
And there was also I will never
This let's talk about sexism
Sorry Amber Hernandez
Let's hear it
All right no so I shouldn't blame women for this
I should blame movie studios I guess
but certainly
women went along with this shit
I'm sure there were a lot of them
that were like wow what the fuck
but
so in the Hunger Games
in the books
Capital citizens are described
as
disturbing to look at
it's funny
I saw this brought up recently
and it bothered me
I fucking hate liberals
so goddamn
this sounds like an alt-right pot
but no
I hate the
it was like Trump face
or some shit
the Mara log
look is the term that I saw.
And it's essentially plastic surgery-ed-up women.
Oh, like, I didn't realize that Joan Rivers
love Trump so much.
Like, no, we're describing the looks
of, like, rich, vain women
and men now.
You know, I shouldn't say men now.
But, you know, but just like plastic surgery-ed-up,
Botox, skin-tightening shit.
You know, just that look.
Yeah.
And there's nothing partisan about it.
It's a look that the wealthy will cultivate.
A look that
Now the goal isn't even to have plastic surgery
The goal is to look plastic surgeryed up
Because it denotes
It indicates that you have money
That level of status
Yeah exactly
But the Hunger Games sort of
I wouldn't say it called that out
But it was like these capital citizens
And their bizarre extravagant styles
Were disturbing and unsettling
And then in the movies
It was just like they're making
was a little over the top.
And then I remember it was watching Comedy Central.
And I never watched the movies.
Partially because I saw that in the trailers,
how they didn't look disturbed.
It was Elizabeth Banks, one of the most beautiful human beings
on the face of the fucking planet.
And they were like, we're just going to cover face in white makeup.
And that's a capital citizen.
It's like, no, they should all look like Joan fucking Rivers,
even the men.
But anyway, it was on Comedy Central.
I was watching it, and it was like,
the Maybelline Capital Collection of Makeup.
Whereas, like, not only are we not leaning into how disturbing these citizens are supposed to look and how disconnected they are from actual, their own actual humanity.
Yeah.
No, here's how you can look like these people.
They're capital makeup tutorials all over fucking YouTube.
Yeah.
It really, this is not me actually being sexist.
This is Hollywood producers watering down themes that young girls should be exposed to for the purposes of selling shit to them.
Yeah.
Yeah, that shit's fucked up, man, yeah.
I mean, like, I feel like there's more examples of this.
I have not observed this trend, because I don't really, I haven't really thought about this.
But yeah, totally, man.
I'm trying to think.
I got any others?
No, I try to think about one that is little as humanly possible.
I clearly don't succeed.
I mean, like, I see the juxtaposition is ridiculous.
Like, they're just off the bat ridiculous.
And then beyond that, it's like, makes me angry immediately.
I remember there's just one character in the last book, which they split into two parts for the movies.
but that's just they do that for all those fucking books anyway don't they um
what was it she looked like a tiger like she she was plastic surgery up to the point where
not only did she not resemble the human i remember i can't remember this was just speculation
but she she didn't that sort of catlike appearance just sort of happens through plastic
surgery up people but like it was like was this on purpose or not i i can't remember in the
book but like i did out of curiosity look it up and that
character did exist in the final movie or the second of final movie whatever and she like
helped the heroes as they were doing their uh raid on the capital or whatever come into god
woman and all that well i feel like i feel like it's not just marking status right no my point i was
trying to make is that they did show her as look here i'll what was her fucking name like tiger
woman character hunger game she did
Tigris
No, they didn't
Eh
She does not look upsetting enough at all
I hope no one looks at stuff
But yeah, it's meant to, yeah
It's like this is like
She, uh, whatever
She just looks like an extra from cats
I was just about to say cats
I couldn't remember the name for a second
I have no idea why I couldn't remember that name
I feel like
What I'm settling looking
I feel like my issue with the movies
If I had to pick out one issue with the movies
Is the fact that like
The first book really tried to capture
This idea of desperation
starvation,
black markets and all that,
you know,
they really tried to capture a,
what's the word for it?
Sort of just making,
living by any means
outside of your means and all that.
They really tried to capture that
and then compare it to this level
of excess in the capital and all that,
right?
I think that's where all those horrifying aspects come,
like the whole eating and purging,
you know, like you can make the whole Roman bacchanal.
Which the Romans didn't actually do, by the way.
I didn't know that.
But you can make all the back and all references.
like we can all like understand that but like even if it's not true it's weird that we still
no it's fine for the purposes of a book like to illustrate the gross excess of these affluent
people but it didn't seem like it was just based out of like show showcasing a level of status
right it seemed like this was more like this is just how they existed in this awful horrible
disgusting system that they um were born and bred into right and like like what we're
we're seeing is like this character
comparing that
you know between shooting and
selling a rabbit on the black market
versus watching someone eat soup and throw it up
and all that right like it's
that's kind of what I took away from that
not so much like a class struggle as much as
like a what's the word
for it more of a
a difference and
understanding of resources I guess you could say
I guess that is a class struggle you know I don't know
it is like class struggle a difference in understanding
of resources yeah it's
criticizing these people who have so much
and also simultaneously
I guess their vanity
you know it's
I remember
definitely I didn't watch the fucking movies
but in the trailers you can see
like it's everyone is dressed in
it's like how do we illustrate that these people
are sad and struggling
we'll make them wear sad gray clothes
and we'll make the color tone
it's where everything's all washed out
in the books it was described like a third
world place.
Like, everyone is wearing dirty clothes.
They don't have enough clothing and this and that, you know, it's, there was also
physically, they were olive skinned.
They were all of skinned with, like, gray eyes, which is a little, a little pretty, I think.
This movie was just like, it was just made for mass appeal and it robbed everything out
of it, right?
Like, could you imagine if that movie was written by someone who cared and you raised the
restrictions on it to make it rated are potentially like you could you could really make a good
story there like right no i want to talk about the silliest one and this isn't like how it undersold
the themes of the book or whatever but so pita there's a bit in the books where he makes he was a
baker and frankly the logic of this didn't carry at all but he was a baker and uh like lifting
the bags right well no it carries that i guess he could have been burned
or whatever, but he, uh, he decorated cakes or some shit.
Number one, how many, it's one thing to sell a cake.
It's another to be like a professional cake decorator.
Like, how many fucking cakes are getting decorated?
He should have been on like a food network show or some shit where they make, where they take
cakes and make dolphins out of him.
But it, so what he did is, like, during the Hunger Games, his skill that he used as he
camouflaged himself perfectly.
And it's like, okay, that's a bit of a stretch.
But in the books, it's played, like, he had a,
good understanding of color, I guess.
It's like, okay.
In the movie, he just made himself look like
a rock, like, perfectly.
Hold on.
Let me show you the fucking...
Like some return of the ring shit, right?
Yeah, like, he's a perfect
Hollywood makeup artist.
It looks so fucking absurd.
Like, brother, how, what are they...
You see how fucking stupid that looks?
He looks like the thing.
Like, this is perfect.
He looks like, and I understand this is what happened,
like a Hollywood makeup artist.
I know, yeah, yeah.
Like, make me look like a rock man.
Yeah, this looks like a character from like that face-off TV show back on sci-fi.
Yeah, look, Jesus, man.
Here's people tweeting about it.
This is like a 10-year-old tweet,
so we're doing some hot takes here.
This is an alt-trite podcast that talks about young adult books for women.
Let's also talk about Twilight.
How it's about eating and about how women have a fixation on the eroticism of cannibalism.
Because the woman's sexual experience is one of.
being eaten. And we're back. No, now we're just
cribbing ContraPoints. This is our
alterite niche. So what we do was we just
take shit from ContraPoints, the
trans-bred-tuber video essayist.
We just say with a masculine...
You said so many words I don't understand.
So ContraPoints is a
trans woman who fucking
she talks
about, you know, she
does the bisexual lighting.
And she's like, here's a two-hour video essay
about Twilight, which is excellent, because I
every Twilight book
I don't know how I'm not gay
because my tastes are gay
but I have no taste somehow
I'm really just damned
homosexuality is not
enjoying the male body as a man
no it's just enjoying Twilight
and listening to too much
Doja Cat
I can tell I'm not actually gay
because the gays don't actually like Doja Cat
they like her music and dislike her personality
because she's a shit poster
I fucking love every part of Doja Cat
because she's a straight shit poster
and she hates her fans.
It's fucking incredible.
You're the catiest gay man
I've ever met sometimes.
You understand that.
God, just go to a Doja Cat concert.
I'll go with you.
That shit sounds awesome.
I don't want to go to a concert.
That'd be awesome, bro, man.
No, I do not want to.
I don't like live music
because I just don't like people, I think.
To be honest with you, I've only been to one
in the last five years.
And I just went for more as a joke
to go with a friend.
You've heard of hell?
That's the gayest.
shit I've ever heard. I went to a concert
ironically. I know.
The one concert I've ever been to, and I believe
you were there, it was sublime
with Rome. Oh no.
Oh, yeah. That was, oh, God.
God, that's so cringe. Why would you bring that out?
Revolution performed, because we were a high school
stoners, and I didn't fit
neatly into any category as a high
schooler, but I guess the closest was
stoner.
I mean, we were in football, but we were alignments.
We weren't cool.
I don't know. I feel like there's
groups of weird linemen who are like us or were like us everywhere and I feel like there's a
difference I don't know I don't know I feel like that's a group of people that exist but of course
I'm looking I'm inside it looking at myself so I'm like yeah of course it's more people like me
but wait what was the concert that you went to ironically ironically it was uh it was health
it was a health concert oh that sounds fucking rad what part of liking health is ironic you piece
of shit I didn't know you like health man that shit was dope yeah well I shouldn't say I love them
because there's like
I've never put on an album by them
and listen to it from start to finish
but yeah I know I like them a lot
they had this really good album I liked right
where it was just a bunch of
what was it
collaborations
it was a series of collaborations
and there was this one song
I can't really remember
it was it was Health and Lamb of God
which is not a band I'm really a huge fan of
but I like heavy shit so I was like
yeah but this song was just
ooh I was really into like
the Doom soundtrack at the time man
and I was working out a lot
so this all kind of went together
but like yeah
that album was great
I can't
I think it's Bleed is the song
I can't recall
but if you look up Health
X Lamb of God
you'll find it
Oh I think that one is
in my circulation
just because you sent it to me
Yeah it's a banger
It's like because like I don't
Like I said I don't love health
It's just like I listen to three or four
Their songs
I listen to the one from the Max Payne soundtrack
That everyone likes tears
That one
Like I remember in high school
You were constantly constantly
trying to get me to listen
to like metal and shit.
Oh yeah, yeah.
And it was fucking exhausting.
I have very eclectic taste
and I like all sorts of shit.
But heavy metal shit I've never enjoyed.
I like more electronic-y heavy stuff.
I fucking love that new RICO nasty album.
It's not heavy enough,
so I shouldn't use that as an example.
Like, I've heard the term
witch house for,
um, it's stuff that
it was the Ruiner soundtrack,
introduced me to it.
Like Wiccans and shit?
Honestly, it's like,
think of like house music.
This is not what they,
the vampires were listening to in Blade.
But the kind of thing that if you were,
if there was a nightclub full of vampires now,
they'd probably be listening to shit like that.
Like sort of like heavy,
but more electronic.
But yeah,
no, I remember in high school,
you were constantly trying to get me to listen
to like Judas priest and shit.
Oh, yeah.
But I, my ears are gay.
Like, I like all sorts of music,
but it all comes back to my gay years
and I don't care for any of that.
It's because as like a stoner
you get into tool, you just find tool eventually.
At one point, all paths lead through tool.
But as I got off of that, right,
like my friend at the time,
I guess I might need to believe his name.
Yeah, I'll bleep that out
because I don't even know how to get a hold of him.
Yeah, but he's got a really specific name.
No one could ever.
It was like 10 million people.
So what were you saying about that?
Anyway, Thadius.
I remember I was so mean for no reason.
I wasn't even making fun of his weight because I was fatter.
It was elementary school.
His name was Thaddeus, and I found that hilarious.
It's kind of funny.
Yeah, I called him Fadius.
Okay, so our mutual friend in high school, Thaddeus McCraig,
recommended that I get this album called Ride the Lightning.
And I had, like, heard, like, what is it, for whom the bell told us, because Zombie Land.
It was the intro song.
So, like, I bought that song was cool.
I love the, that's when I began to realize.
I love thematic elements in music
and heavy metal is
incredibly based off of thematic elements
you know like it's
if you're really into the message
of heavy metal you have a problem
you know like you have an issue
but like if you're into the thematicness
of it all how weird it is how ridiculous it all is
it becomes fun and enjoyable
and the aggression isn't like seen as a bad thing
it's more or less seen as just fleshing out
that emotion in a way you know like
everyone feels different about music
but anyway so you recommend i get ride the lightning and we started to drive home and an actual
thunderstorm started kicking up right oh really yeah we listened to the whole album all the way back
because it was like 30 minutes to the cd store yeah anyway um yeah so that i just um i listened to it on
the way there we chilled for a few hours on the way home i listened to it and i'm listening to the call
of katula at the very and i'm like this album is amazing i love everything about what i just heard
love the what is it just i could go through all the songs i don't really want to but like um it was
just a really good album and i highly recommend no it's it's the only metal album i like ride the lightning
yeah it's just sick man and uh i like i like metallic instrumentals a lot so write not i not
write the lightning um call of katulu is like stuck in my head like that that's a good like lifting
song for me because it's rhythmic as well and uh yeah that really is a genre where you can get
away with a dorky subject matter yeah like imagine a rapper trying to make a song about
kathul or or some battle between like the winged hussars and the ottomans you can never get
away with that shit oh i want to hear the new metal version of sabbatania the only literary
references that rappers are allowed to make are all biblical for some fucking reason i don't know
why i don't know do you um are you into like that heady cerebral rap scene are you into that
big rap guy like a little bit of like biggie
but Tupac. I don't even know what
you would call cerebral rap. My taste in
rap is pretty pedestrian. Like my favorite
rapper is Kanye
West and of course you got to say a lot of things
if you say you like Kanye West now. So I should be very clear
I only like his anti-Semitism.
Nothing else. I don't even like
his music. Music sucks. Love is political
view.
But no, I
obviously, Kanye, I don't take any
of it seriously because Kanye West just needs you
to be looking at. It's the same reason he
started wearing the MAGA hat
and then ran against
Trump.
He just needs you
and he has the thing
that a lot of people
that are insecure have
that I myself have
where it's like
if you have anyone
that will follow you
and listen to you
it's like
all right now I need to test this
immediately
by saying crazy shit
but like
he had one song
and I can't even remember
I think it was like
fucking off Donda
no
that would have been before?
I don't know.
He had a falling out with Jay-Z over the MAGA shit.
And, like, Jay-Z was, like, the guy who, like, he got his start producing on a Jay-Z album and all this.
And, like, Jay-Z, it was under Jay-Z's label when he first started being able to wrap over his own beats and shit.
So it's, like, a decade-plus-long relationship.
And I'm not trying to say, like, it was a good relationship for him or whatever.
Because they both are going to get implicated by the ditty shit.
And they've both done heinous shit.
And because this is...
How'd I put this?
I don't understand
any rapper getting canceled,
and I'm including this guy who just got got
for having a dead 15-year-old girl in his trunk.
Jesus.
It's a kind of music.
Like, it's always, like, I understand feeling betrayed
when, like, some skinny white boy with a guitar
and he gets caught doing like horrible shit
and it's like all he writes
like nice songs about love and it's like
I feel betrayed that rapper
has been telling you exactly what he's about
since day one
like Kanye West whenever he's inevitably
I don't even want to say cancel
Can you cancel Kanye West
once he's finally implicated
in like I don't know
like a bunch of girls with Diddy or some shit
it's like that has been in his music since forever
like I don't like any rappers
I like rap music
because it's, I like it because it's in.
I think I only like it
because I make YouTube videos.
If I didn't have something
where I was making shit and I occasionally needed
to psych myself up about it,
it's like,
there's like a Tyler the Creator
bar I fucking love.
Fuck your goat on Billy.
Stupid.
But that,
I don't even know where I'm going with this shit.
When I was,
When I was working on getting myself out of the hole I dug myself into over the past, like, a year or so, thought I was dead by Tyler of the Creator.
I listened to that shit and no one stop.
Trying to take what I got, but none of you all got what it takes.
That's a good fucking line right there.
But it's about psyching myself up over, like, my output, over what I've done and what I'm doing.
Does that make sense?
I'm glad you pick.
I don't know how to put it.
I'm glad you pick that song instead of, like, I don't know, like, give me the loot or warning, you know, it could be out there, like, shit.
Well, I don't listen to, like, gangster rap.
I mean, like, I remember...
Love gangster rap.
Yeah, I remember whenever we would talk about it, our very limited conversations about that back in high school, because I didn't listen to any of it, and you just exclusively listen to Biggie.
And I talked about, like, the Beastie Boys, and you were, like, you'd make fun of them, as though they aren't knowingly lame.
Like, they've always known they were fucking lame, and they didn't care.
It's not all rap, me.
to be about being an actual killer
okay okay it's not the killer
where we're a fucking pink polo
it's a restrictive idea of rap
it's like the
I don't know what it's called in this style of music
because there's not like instruments and shit
but like it's the way it all comes together
that I really like about Biggie and Tupac right
it's because that 90s sound is what I really like
you know I just know the words
and yeah I can sing every word
of giving me the loot and warning
but like it's really the
just the way they made that
music i love it man i love the um i love the uh what's it called oh my god i don't know shit about
rap dude what is it called when you reference old music and you put it in your in your music what is
it called like living oh wait you're talking about sampling yeah like i love the samples too
i love that shit man like uh i don't know i just liked it just it sounded good to me you know
i like the g funk sound a little but in general i'm not really big into classic rap i mean
frankly at this point early conier probably falls under classic rap i mean shit yeah there's people old enough
to drive who are older than his first album i think at this point oh i don't think no i think i did
talk about this on the podcast the the realization that i was doing a a hannah montana thing at
college where i don't talk about my work obviously i'm joking like they don't know and they don't care
you have a blonde but like but the realization that uh did i talk about this on the podcast i'm not
going to repeat it.
No, no, no, go ahead.
He instead of that.
I just put on the, the disc,
I'm not going to go listen to all the old pod.
That's like five hours of us blathering.
Oh, not the old, I mean, this one, but if you're going to.
It does.
I'll just fucking tell the same story again.
We're on podcast five.
We should be talking about like old bullshit stories from high school more often.
In general, I need to not be talking about fucking philosophy,
of which I know very little, because it's tedious,
and because I went to that park to feed the fucking ducks,
And I was thinking about mindfulness and living in the moment and how that really that's the thing about that's always been my struggle is living in the moment because the moment is so often I was trained to not live in the moment.
I had to become Don Quixote because my reality was so bleak as a child.
But like as an adult, I cannot exclusively be daydreaming all day.
It's not healthy and it's not.
Also my work is sort of daydream.
I don't know.
But the point is you go to feed the ducks and you think about mindfulness and you live in the moment.
of feeding these ducks and the geese will bite you fucking the moment is unpleasant wolf the geese
are coming and you bar the gates wolf with the daydreams i mean yeah yeah i mean like i i love that
shit man i mean like i uh i don't know like sometimes i feel like i'm caught in a rut at least
personally i feel like that so i i just have to like force myself to do shit i knowingly know i
don't like or uh i think the term i i don't know where i found it from is like a lesson in
futility. I love myself a good
lesson in futility. I love
that shit. Because if I don't love it, I fucking
hate everything, so I have to love it.
What is that you enjoy sweeping dirt roads?
Not exactly. I have to.
If I have to sweep that dirt road, I have to learn
to enjoy it. Otherwise, like,
this is, like, it's going to make me question
everything to the point where I'm just like, what the fuck
is this all for? And then I want to become a step
barbarian, and I want to flee to the hill.
Let's and collect scalps.
But, God, no, it's just
There used to be a place outside of civil
civilization you could run to there always was and that's just completely gone because civilization
just won the game the they control all the resources now i don't know they're like fucking
reservations in sub-saharan africa where you can still go live a nomadic hunter-gatherer lifestyle
do you think they'll take me wolf i was watching like an anthropological like documentary
and they were just like they were just like talking and chilling it was like one of the guys
was talking to the other ones like they were baboons and they could
hear them and it's like you want to go baboon hunting tonight
imagine me baboon hunting
the geese win fights
against me wolf
I'm just picturing the scene from Blood Diamond
but it's Leonardo DiCaprio just shaking you
the whole time
I've not watched Blood Diamond you keep referencing it
you really should watch it's sick man yeah
there's something about hunting baboons in it
but like
I mean like I
I really love the idea of like
you know subsistence living and all that
I'm glad you bring this up just because yesterday
i decided that i want to start hunting like it was never really something i put a lot of stock into
but i decided i want to do it now just because uh you know i got the guns i live in texas you know like
surely there must be an easy way to hunt right fuck no it's not easy to hunt it's a nightmare it's a
fucking nightmare figuring this out dude like there's like there's all these weird systems that
exist for hunting right and because like the only decent way to go hunt something easily is to go
talk to a farmer and say, hey, if you got some pigs, could I shoot them? And I'll promise not
to hit someone, like, or one of your cows. It isn't just finding a lease or whatever. Yeah,
you can find a lease, you know how much they cost? How much? Thousands of dollars.
Thousands of, are you willing to pay, like, two grand to shoot a single deer? Maybe three or four
tops. If I was financially doing better, yeah. That's some dentist shit, bro. Man, it's wild how much
it. That's some dentist shit. Like, there is huge tracks of open, available land that exist, and, like,
there are flocks of deer out there you know there's pigs everywhere i'm a pig hunter i don't want to
shoot deer it's like shooting a cow for me like i don't want to civilization isn't actually good at like
utilizing existing resources well i mean like how many mesquite people living here
for thousands of years would well i don't want to say this about the car and cow because i don't
know but obviously a lot of native american groups i know the apache did they would make flour out of
mesquite pods and eat it mesquite seeds
just fall off the trees and no one anywhere eats them anymore.
Yeah, everywhere around here.
I was thinking about making a list of edible forges in the area, right?
You know, mostly seafood-based, right?
But, like, yeah, mesquipods is, like, super high on the list.
And there's a few kinds of, like, native gourds right around this season.
If you're driving through Texas right now on the side of the road,
preferably in south or central Texas, you'll see little yellow gourds, like melons.
I don't know how edible they are.
A lot of, like, things like this, you know,
They haven't been bred to be less toxic.
So it may need, like, a few steps to make it less toxic and edible.
Like, boiling, removing the water, boiling again, removing the water.
That's the go-to for most plants everywhere, besides, like, you know, you're running the mill,
banana, like a cloned banana and all that.
But, uh...
I have a hunting proposal.
What's up?
You want to do it?
So there's some geese at the park.
It's genuinely absurd how not afraid of me they are, and I don't want to hurt a random
animal but it's like on another
level I'm like they
need to have a fear
it is absurd that this thing
that weighs 10 pounds has given me so much
shit they walk around honking
where's their fear I'll go
for a run and like a dog will
chase me right and you just like
kick at it you don't have to actually
kick it you kick at it
and it will demonstrate the amount
of the appropriate level of fear it should
hold you kick at the geese
and it looks at you like you miss
Like, it doesn't give a fuck at all
I had to tap it on the nose
With the monster can that I had, of course
And only then did it back off
It is only by actually applying
Physical pain to the animal
That it will show any fear at all
I have to say something real quick
My mom taught me this when I was younger
Because we lived next to a goose pond
The best way to get rid of them
Is to grab them by the neck
And fling them away
It will not kill them
Okay, I'll do that next time
All I could think is like
Only if they're like on you, you know
It fucking bit me
Yeah
No next time I'll fucking do that
Because it's like they're not tough
It's like there are small animals that are tough
And that you shouldn't fuck with obviously
Like what's the famous example
A Wolverine Armadillo is a good example
Yeah
Armad what?
Well you get leprosy
Oh yeah
Should I not be fucking all these aren't
I wear a condom
You got it
Move on
Move on God please
I like the texture
Those armadillos they're ribbed for your pleasure
All that kite
I actually have to go to class
We're going to call the podcast here
Oh God, okay
God, I like and subscribe and all that
Oh, have you been clipping this whole fucking time
Eh, it's not that bad
What's up?
No, it's fine
I need to be pushing down the volume on your microphone
It's okay
You're fine, you didn't do anything wrong
But all right, thanks for stopping by guys
Adios. Adios, gamers.
