Starting point is 00:00:00 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
Starting point is 00:00:34 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
Starting point is 00:00:48 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
Starting point is 00:01:03 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
Starting point is 00:01:17 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
Starting point is 00:01:36 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
Starting point is 00:01:50 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
Starting point is 00:02:09 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.
Starting point is 00:02:29 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.
Starting point is 00:02:56 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.
Starting point is 00:03:14 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.
Starting point is 00:03:30 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.
Starting point is 00:03:45 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.
Starting point is 00:04:15 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
Starting point is 00:04:33 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
Starting point is 00:04:49 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?
Starting point is 00:05:19 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.
Starting point is 00:05:35 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.
Starting point is 00:06:21 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,
Starting point is 00:06:37 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
Starting point is 00:06:59 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
Starting point is 00:07:11 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.
Starting point is 00:07:31 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.
Starting point is 00:07:56 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.
Starting point is 00:08:13 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.
Starting point is 00:08:28 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.
Starting point is 00:08:42 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,
Starting point is 00:09:14 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
Starting point is 00:09:31 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.
Starting point is 00:09:56 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
Starting point is 00:10:23 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.
Starting point is 00:10:38 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
Starting point is 00:11:22 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
Starting point is 00:11:49 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
Starting point is 00:12:04 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.
Starting point is 00:12:33 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.
Starting point is 00:13:03 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
Starting point is 00:13:37 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?
Starting point is 00:14:15 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
Starting point is 00:14:35 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
Starting point is 00:15:16 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.
Starting point is 00:16:08 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.
Starting point is 00:16:47 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
Starting point is 00:17:15 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
Starting point is 00:17:29 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.
Starting point is 00:17:46 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
Starting point is 00:18:09 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
Starting point is 00:18:20 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
Starting point is 00:18:32 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.
Starting point is 00:18:45 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.
Starting point is 00:19:01 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
Starting point is 00:19:32 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
Starting point is 00:19:44 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
Starting point is 00:19:54 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?
Starting point is 00:20:12 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.
Starting point is 00:20:30 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
Starting point is 00:20:47 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.
Starting point is 00:21:06 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.
Starting point is 00:21:28 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
Starting point is 00:22:04 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
Starting point is 00:22:16 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
Starting point is 00:22:31 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
Starting point is 00:22:57 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?
Starting point is 00:23:15 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.
Starting point is 00:23:33 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.
Starting point is 00:23:55 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.
Starting point is 00:24:07 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.
Starting point is 00:24:21 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
Starting point is 00:24:37 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
Starting point is 00:24:56 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.
Starting point is 00:25:13 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
Starting point is 00:25:35 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
Starting point is 00:26:03 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
Starting point is 00:26:18 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
Starting point is 00:26:33 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.
Starting point is 00:26:51 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
Starting point is 00:27:07 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
Starting point is 00:27:33 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
Starting point is 00:28:05 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,
Starting point is 00:28:21 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.
Starting point is 00:28:37 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.
Starting point is 00:29:04 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.
Starting point is 00:29:32 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.
Starting point is 00:29:51 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.
Starting point is 00:30:25 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.
Starting point is 00:30:44 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
Starting point is 00:31:12 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
Starting point is 00:31:31 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
Starting point is 00:31:47 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
Starting point is 00:32:01 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
Starting point is 00:32:17 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?
Starting point is 00:32:46 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.
Starting point is 00:33:06 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
Starting point is 00:33:29 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
Starting point is 00:33:45 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.
Starting point is 00:34:08 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
Starting point is 00:34:45 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?
Starting point is 00:35:22 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.
Starting point is 00:35:47 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
Starting point is 00:36:07 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
Starting point is 00:36:27 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
Starting point is 00:36:44 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
Starting point is 00:37:06 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.
Starting point is 00:37:47 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
Starting point is 00:38:05 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
Starting point is 00:38:22 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
Starting point is 00:38:35 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
Starting point is 00:38:44 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.
Starting point is 00:38:59 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
Starting point is 00:39:15 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
Starting point is 00:39:34 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.
Starting point is 00:39:50 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.
Starting point is 00:40:06 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.
Starting point is 00:40:30 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.
Starting point is 00:40:54 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
Starting point is 00:41:21 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
Starting point is 00:41:59 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
Starting point is 00:42:24 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
Starting point is 00:42:34 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,
Starting point is 00:42:47 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,
Starting point is 00:43:02 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
Starting point is 00:43:18 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
Starting point is 00:43:48 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
Starting point is 00:44:05 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
Starting point is 00:44:21 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
Starting point is 00:44:38 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?
Starting point is 00:45:03 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.
Starting point is 00:45:46 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,
Starting point is 00:46:06 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
Starting point is 00:46:21 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.
Starting point is 00:46:40 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.
Starting point is 00:46:57 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.
Starting point is 00:47:18 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
Starting point is 00:47:34 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
Starting point is 00:47:50 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
Starting point is 00:48:05 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.
Starting point is 00:48:18 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.
Starting point is 00:48:31 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
Starting point is 00:48:43 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.
Starting point is 00:48:59 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
Starting point is 00:49:30 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
Starting point is 00:49:47 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
Starting point is 00:50:00 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
Starting point is 00:50:11 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
Starting point is 00:50:19 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
Starting point is 00:50:30 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.
Starting point is 00:50:45 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,
Starting point is 00:51:01 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,
Starting point is 00:51:16 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.
Starting point is 00:51:27 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,
Starting point is 00:51:46 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?
Starting point is 00:52:01 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,
Starting point is 00:52:20 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
Starting point is 00:52:37 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
Starting point is 00:52:54 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
Starting point is 00:53:30 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
Starting point is 00:54:13 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
Starting point is 00:54:37 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
Starting point is 00:54:53 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
Starting point is 00:55:05 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
Starting point is 00:55:13 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?
Starting point is 00:55:27 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.
Starting point is 00:55:52 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.
Starting point is 00:56:14 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
Starting point is 00:56:33 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
Starting point is 00:56:50 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,
Starting point is 00:57:08 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.
Starting point is 00:57:30 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.
Starting point is 00:57:55 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
Starting point is 00:58:22 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
Starting point is 00:58:39 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
Starting point is 00:59:01 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
Starting point is 00:59:46 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.
Starting point is 00:59:58 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.
Starting point is 01:00:32 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
Starting point is 01:01:06 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.
Starting point is 01:01:28 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
Starting point is 01:01:44 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
Starting point is 01:02:18 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
Starting point is 01:02:33 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
Starting point is 01:02:57 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
Starting point is 01:03:36 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.
Starting point is 01:04:15 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.
Starting point is 01:04:39 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.
Starting point is 01:05:01 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
Starting point is 01:05:17 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
Starting point is 01:05:33 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
Starting point is 01:05:51 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
Starting point is 01:06:03 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
Starting point is 01:06:15 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
Starting point is 01:06:26 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
Starting point is 01:06:38 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
Starting point is 01:06:55 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.
