Episode Date: December 9, 2025

The boys discuss the King of the Tree, DJPC talks about his trip west, and The Running Man needs Steve Harvey.

So, this is how I've slept in the past 24 hours. In general, I've not been taking care of myself the past four or five days. One? Or 28 years. I, uh, so I slept from 2 p.m. to 9 p.m. And then I slept from 3 a.m. to 6 a.m. So that's about where we're at right now. Oh, okay.

I just, I don't know, I've been working a lot. bad moods why the weird in between hours like why did you go to because I was tired well I you know because it was like I figured at 2 a.m. I should try to sleep

and also I was tired and I wasn't getting much work done anyway so I'll be honest you get up ridiculously early yeah that was honestly going to sleep at two it's like that's just like four hours earlier than I usually will go to sleep

and I'm making it sound like I'm such a riser grind her. Half of it is I don't like being conscious. So I get to just like sleep is great. It's like you get to experience the non-consciousness. Unconsciousness? For a bit longer. Yeah.

Well, you get to dream and it's nice. And like I said, in a recent dream, Tina Faye told me I had beautiful eyebrows. So I've been riding that high for a few days. All right. I need to, that's what always makes me think I should really be reading more interesting stuff or not interesting, just reading more in general

because I'll have a dream and instead of it being something cool and like Jungian like I, I don't know, like I'm, that thing and that I talked to about that human sacrifice book and it was like this cult of like Nemi or some shit it was some, it was some pagan cult and like the apparently this continued into like the time of the Roman Empire

and like the priest slash king of this cult he walked around a tree with a sword and he just waited for whoever would come up and beat him in battle and then they just killed him even when he slept he was at risk and whoever

killed him got to be the new king of the tree and it's just like that endless cycle of just men growing old getting killed by the young guy and then he's the new king of the woods and then he grows old Hold on, what is the passage? It's actually the coolest fucking...

And this is the part of episode 106 where I stand up to go find a book. So this is from... This is another book I've wanted to read forever, but it's like a thousand fucking pages. And it's one of those things there. It's like... You definitely get like plus ten points

to your esotericism. My sleep deprivation is really showing. Your esotericness. You don't have to use words like esotericness. If you read this one, The Golden Bow by James Fraser. And it was like this really foundational text in anthropology, apparently. But it's also super outdated, and it's sort of like a man with a thousand faces kind of thing.

Where it's like, this is the connection between all these different cultures and like the connection between religion and myth, I guess. But it's like I said, it's considered very outdated. You should put this there. But it's considered very outdated. So, like, I wouldn't actually, this is all from, like, the Wikipedia page on the fucking book. But, like, you can tell just reading this one passage, which is included in human sacrifice in history and today by, I don't even know who wrote this. Nigel Davies. What a British name.

That's ridiculously British man. But it's just a hardcore passage here. Like, literally the author of this, he was like, I'm not going to summarize this, because it's, he already wrote it in the hardest as fuck way possible. On the northern shore of the lake, right under the precipitous cliffs on which the modern village of Nemi is perched, stood the sacred grove and sanctuary of Diana Nimerensis, or Diana of the wood, where there grew a certain tree around which at any time of the day and probably far into the night, a grim figure might be seen to prowl. In his hand he carried a drawn sword and he kept

peering warily about him, as if at every instant he expected to be set upon by an enemy. He was a priest and a murderer, and the man for whom he looked was sooner or later to murder him and hold the priesthood in his stead. Such was the rule of the sanctuary. A candidate for the priesthood could only succeed to office by slaying the priest, and having slain him, he retained the office till he was himself slain by a stronger or a craftier. The post which he held by this precarious tenure carried with it the title of king, but surely no crowned head ever lay uneasier, or was visited by more evil dreams than his. I'm going to come. I'm sorry that this is long.

For year in and year out, in summer and winter, and fair weather and foul, he had to keep his lonely watch, and whenever he snatched a troubled slumber, it was at the peril of his life. The least relaxation of his vigilance, the smallest abatement of his strength of limb or skill of fence, put him in jeopardy, gray hairs. seal his death warrant. Yeah, that's just hard as fuck. That's sick of shit, man. Hey guys, last night

when I was drifting off to sleep, like you know how your brain is doing this like free association? It all clicked together and I finally got to the bottom of all this. These are the same rules which apply to Tim Allen

in the Santa Claus movie franchise wherein Tim Allen kills Santa Claus and becomes the new Santa Claus thank you yeah but so I looked into that book and I was like I'm reading that shit I don't care how long it is

it's like over a thousand pages long and basically the only modern prints like are abridgments of it because it's so mercilessly long and mercilessly useless it's just it's not considered accurate it's not considered like it's just a thousand pages of that

but yeah it's just so fucking cool and like just that one passage I think about that constantly that's already become like an inspiration for I managed to write a few chapters since our last podcast

I made a big breakthrough I realized there wasn't enough contrast between the two main characters that did I talk about Jesus robot you know what we're not going to talk about all that we're not doing that he's not

he's not even really He's sort of booed it. He's just in general, he's a, I know I've talked to about him. He's like, he was a museum guide. Like, that's what he was built to do during a better time than the one in which the stories actually said. He's like, this ancient robot and, like, stories are told about him that he knows all there is to know and this.

And he's, like, a harbors great knowledge. But he's just sort of a loony motherfucker, you know? He's, like, sort of simultaneously very, sort of aged and wise, but also childlike. Well, I kind of like that, though. I like whenever like people decide to explore like robot characters right there's so many different angles they can go for right like you've probably seen the most obvious ones or which are like goofy and like let's say there's two examples there's goofy and robotic or robotic and robotic you know like C3PO versus like clap trap right but there's so many like potential ideas for stories there and I don't know I'm trying to think of better examples right now I brought up stalker fang last time. But I was just off top of my dome, a weird dome. I'm trying to think of more, honestly. It's been a while.

It's been a while. I guess if you're into Titanfall, you can talk about that particular character. I can't really remember. I wasn't into the story as much as others. But I don't know. I like the ability to explore a character with that many open ends as a robot or quote-unquote AI or whatever. In fact, have you considered making it some various thing involving a? Have you thought about that?

Part of my concern writing, it is like, I, if this is ever finished, I don't know what world it would be read in. But if it were published, if the book that is in my head were published today, then it would be interpreted by a lot of people. It's some commentary on AI, but it's fucking not. A big part of it is like he wasn't really self-aware until he, because he was made to answer questions and this big, what made me figure out the character was I was just like writing a like I said I like writing dialogue and I was writing dialogue between him and the the swordsman character which was at one point a robot but I realized he can't be because that's the problem was there wasn't enough contrast and also I I like journeys right obviously like all my like my favorite history videos are like journeys like these explorations and I was like writing about like him travel And it's like, without the constant need for food, water, and rest, it is so fucking boring. You know what I mean? And I don't consider just we walked and we walked to be boring.

There's a lot of, all the Lord of the Rings is just some guys fucking walking. Yeah, I was walking and chilling. Like, there's a lot of shit to happen when you're walking. But if you're just this fucking robot that doesn't need to eat sleep or rest, it is just very dull. And I was literally just before you got here and like the hour before you got here. I wrote this bit where the swordsman who is now human. he's right he's climbing a pine tree but there's like no branches to get up there he's trying to get just a bird nest because there's been he's been traveling through uh this place where there's really nothing to fucking eat

it's just sort of this sort of somewhere to where we live like a very like uh dry grassland and i actually had this fun monologue so the contrast between i wanted them to have a don quixote sancho like relationship right like one is this more pragmatic the other is more romantic and the robot is the romantic one and sort of the like you'd think like a robot shouldn't be like a dreamer type you know but like he doesn't have to eat sleep or rest

he gets to just sit around and think and he doesn't have to feel pain all the time he doesn't have to pay the price of being and that's like part of the monologue is uh the robot was like resting under this tree and he's like do you wonder why I was there or whatever and the swordsman is like no I don't give he doesn't give

a shit. He's just trying to find him so he can get close to this king and stab him in the throat. And he's like, well, it's such a beautiful view. And I thought it's sad that no one was there to, like, why is it so depopulated here? There's just no one really. Like, I want the story to start in a pretty, like, sparsely populated place. And then, like, you were exposed more to people and culture as it goes along, right? Is it, like, decimated? Or is it like, in this particular place, no, nothing grows. Like, the swordsman explains, like, no, these are, they're essentially weave these pretty red flowers growing everywhere and they just choke out everything you try to

grow and they poison livestock that try to eat them and there's such a gay sentence but the robot is like, wouldn't it be nice if man could live on flowers alone and naturally I want the swordsman to be annoyed that's very much the goal. There's a contrast there. Okay, I like it. I like it a lot. The back and, like I said, I like the dialogue. The back

and forth between them is fun. Like the robot's quote unquote self-awareness is also when it stopped working as intended. It was meant to just be this guide around the museum and it knows all the secret knowledge, quote unquote, because it was made to be able to answer any, mostly children's questions, you know what I mean? Yeah.

But in this environment, this sort of like dark age, I'm not thinking of it as like post-apocalyptic, it's just a dark age. It's like everyone is tired and no one understands the point. There's no, everyone is so focused on subsisting that they cannot think about the fucking flowers, which the robot is doing, you know what I mean? God damn it, man. Just read fucking one 40K book, man. I do not give a fuck about it.

I need to read the golden bow. I have useless things to read that are very, a completely different sort of useless. A comment made something very clear to me that makes a ton of sense, man. You should read something about a guardsman, about the plight of a guardsman, an individual guardsman and a universe of terror

and just endless this indecency and lack of care, you know, that was so good to me. I still need to read The Road by Cormac McCarthy, so no. Or Blood Meridian, too. The problem is that's not esoteric enough. Now it's like a fucking meme.

Really? Excuse me. Oh, yeah. Yeah, because of what's his name, made the video about it. What was it? Oh, my God. I have so many, like, such a mutually shared audience with him. I can never remember his fucking name, shit.

But, uh... Is it man carrying things? No. No. Although we do share... That'd actually be a funny... Hold on. We'll go to my analytics.

It'd be a funny thing to look at. The, like, mutually shared audience. I share one with direct... But, like, in your analytics, you can see... what your audience is also watching. You see, look at this, I'm demonetized. I got $200 for some fucking reason. I don't know where that's coming from.

I'm guessing that's YouTube Premium Watchers. Oh, audience. Okay, channels my audience watches. Stiff lip supplements? Who the fuck even is this? I've never heard of this man. Let's get into it. There's soy jacks in the thumbnails.

Click on one, man. Click on it. They're animations of the feels guy. Fuck me. What's his name? This seems a little brain rotty for stuff like that. Oh, it's windegoon. This seems a little brain rotty for me, but I understand there's an audience or stuff like that.

is his second channel. Oh yeah, of course. Mandelore Gaming. I like Mandelore Gaming. There's literally a 40K guy right here. That's one of the space marines, isn't it? Yeah, I'd say ultramarine. Yeah, see?

I don't even know what the... I'm guessing this is a lore channel. Well, the one thing that I really like about it, at least the reason why I keep bringing it up, because every time you talk about this idea of like not really decay, but it's sort of decay in a way. just the tiredness of expanse that's a very common theme in this franchise is that like overextension and the horrors of us trying to maintain that and just there's a lot you can

really get into you know there's there's points whenever worlds are completely cut off from each other and so they form and evolve in their own different weird little way you know usually something awful and terrible but that's a commonly explored theme in that franchise just Decay in general. There's a character that embodies Decay. His name is Nergel. Come up if I get one of those? Sure. It's been a minute. I'm about to go make a Lawson's trip.

Sure. I just gave him one of my fucking Zins. There's not even Zins. These are Zones. Zones. What the fuck are Zones? I don't know. All I know is there are some killer deals on some of these things. It was like three cans. Why am I fucking advertising

this shit? I was losing money without a nicotine addiction. If you think out of you know it's funny yesterday it was like one of my last days in my one of my favorite classes and uh it was good but i had like a minor argument with like one of my um one of my colleagues who was there because it was like three people in the class we're just bored as shit right yeah and um and i was to bringing up the idea like i don't firmly believe this i'm not like an economics guy i don't really understand it fully but i was to bring up the idea that like by giving people the ability to have colleagues

loans as easily as possible. It's incentivized colleges to increase the price of them as much as possible. So people who don't want to use loans are kind of getting priced out and they have to get loans. And I think that overall is just causing like a, I don't know, like an ethical and moral decay in some forms of academia. I think it's causing certain people to be funneled into academia instead of as many people as possible who need to be. And he was just like, nah, I just disagree. And I was just like, we fucking mean. What do you fucking mean? I don't know.

Like explain your point. He's like, I don't know. I just disagree. And it's like, well, I personally, I don't know, man. Usually like if you have the opportunity, like let's say your defense manufacturer, right? Who's the only person that is going to take a $300 million, half a billion dollar contract? Someone with student loans? No, no, no, no.

Like, like, let's say you sell weapons. You want to sell a $500 million drone. There's only like three entities on Earth that can afford that. One of them is the U.S. government. it doesn't cost that much you said it costs that much and so the US government might need a drone you've heard from many people they're going to need a drone so you just price it right up to their perceived value and nothing below that and so you you effectively just rake in all this money and all that you know because you have what's called a captive audience in this case it's an

entire country and the defense of that country right it's just a captive audience and I just it fucks me up man I don't know I mean I'm with you in the sense that like I feel like to properly I'm not a financial guy by the way I'm not like I take any of my advice I need to drag it back to the fucking book I'm trying to reconcile the two parts of me

it comes back to Geronimo actually sometimes you're reading a history book and you can tell that obviously if you're doing history it's not about being unbiased in one of my videos I explained that like the Apache their rating was a consequence of like the imbalance of power

that the Spaniards introduced and I feel that maybe I didn't properly explain it but I feel that a lot of people because like doing YouTube it's you naturally want to keep a conversational but maybe I was too conversational because it feels like the impression a lot of people got as I was saying

it was the Spanish's fault those damn Spanishes came in and they made the Apache raid when what I'm trying to say is that this isn't the individual decision of any one person and also I'm not imparting any moral judgment on any group of people. It's part of the cause and effect of why the Apache raided.

It goes back to the Spaniards. I can go back to say, the Muslims made the Apaches raid. You know what I'm saying? Because like the reconquista shaped the Spanish. I totally get what you're coming from. When you describe this idea, I always like, the way I encapsulated in my mind is like, why did it end up like this? I remember you described as me perfectly 200 years of slaving prior to like outlawing. slavery, 200 years of like slaving Indians in this area and like using them for like mines and

shit like that. That is what effectively, that was like your reduction for explaining that to me at the time. Because I was like, why are all these Apaches and Comanches? Why were they fucking like that? You know? Yeah, no, you're trying to explain the situation. You're not trying to say so simply it's the Spanish fault. It's, but there's also on the other side of that, right? Yeah. Imagine going to, like, a northern Mexican village in 1840 and being like, so the reason everything is on fire, right? And your wives and your daughter, wives, plural, your wife and your daughter were taken,

and they are going to be now, uh, easier imagination. The reason for that, it's the Spanish's fault. I keep saying Spanish, it's the Spaniards. They're gold and they're silver. It's the equivalent of going up to Geronimo, the outskirts of Janos, and being like, So the reason that your mom and your wife and your children, they're all de-scalped and they're all dead now. It all goes back to the Spaniards or it goes back to this cycle of violence. And you have your notebook and you're like explaining it to me with an iPad.

Yeah, like that provides no comfort. And the cycle of violence is just, we're born into these awful cycles, you know. And it's a historian's job is simultaneously to explain. that and how deep it goes and how unavoidable it all is. But it's also to acknowledge that doesn't mean anything to the people that are in it. Like it's your village has been burned

down. You don't care. And it's like sort of the robot embodies that like more objective, well you really can't blame anyone. It's a situation. It's this. Is that? Whereas the excuse me.

Whereas the it's so generic. the reason I want him to be a robot. It's so generic to have a one-armed swordsman who's out to kill the guy that killed his mom. Rule of cool. But it's like, but the swordsman is like my mom is dead and I've lived this life

of slavery and subjugation as a consequence of this fucking guy. Like I don't care. I don't care about the other perspective. I have these pressing I'm this burning ball of hatred all the fucking time. Like I don't care. And it's about

to be them reconciling those two parts that I'm always struggling to reconcile myself is um I just make it a group of robots huh I don't just make it a group of robots I don't want it to be a group of robots I want to reconcile the the high-minded the above-it-all moral perspective simultaneously with this sort of like the flesh and blood reality of human existence like the robot doesn't have to be human like it normally it's like the robot has no feelings or whatever and the human does the robot has all these like I'm not a writer

I don't understand the process but what's like a contrasting event that causes this that really like nails this well the robot's quote unquote moment of sentience like is he was talking to this girl who always came to the museum and I

it actually made me cry when I read it I sound so fucking gay right now and also annoying not to mention but the girl is like asking questions like what did the she loved the dinosaurs and she always seemed sad no one ever came with her it was always her alone visiting this museum she's like you know and he could answer all these questions right like how much did the diplodicus's

way and oh and she's like did they get sick like i did and like he's like yes they got sick and you can see in like the fossil remain because i actually did look this up can we tell if dinosaurs got sick and all that and then she's like did they dream and he's like i don't know you can't answer that question but also he he also his big thing is not only does he know all these facts he isn't meant to be unfeeling. He was designed to know how heavy a lot of these facts are and that there's this real brutality to just

existing, you know? Like, some facts are heavier than others. And he, due to that, he, a little bit of him breaks, and he's like, yeah, they dreamt. Like, well, you know, like, why not?

He, then he breaks with his programming there, and then she's like, did they ever dream about me because she dreams about them and that's or sorry she asked did they ever dream about or what did they dream about

or did they dream about me damn it now I want to like consult my fucking dialogue I'm not going to hold on I'm sorry I'm getting to it it's like this transition but the moment he breaks is when he asks her a question that this little girl knows things that he doesn't and he he wants to know what she dreams about right

where was I going with this God I'm so sorry I should really be sleeping properly. But that's meant to be this moment of sort of where he breaks from the line, his moment of centuries. The moment where he stops working and they shove him in the closet. Because he's no longer is he answering all these questions. He's asking questions. Questions that the parents don't want their children to be asked. You know, like weird searching questions about existence.

He was asking every child that came up to him, so what do you dream about? Because he became suddenly fascinated with the kind of. concept of dreams themselves because he can't sleep and he can't dream and he he realizes there are things that he can't know these immaterial things and he becomes fixated on that so like that's sort of meant to be like the con what's sort of what makes him a funny character to write is that he knows everything but he doesn't actually know jack shit why am I in the closet it.

Come on. I can visualize that so well. But I'm sorry though. What was your fucking question? Christ, this is the sleep deprivation podcast. I'll be honest, we are tangent on tangent right now.

I just want to throw out there. I have nothing to contribute about the outer worlds too other than it's sleeker. It's sleek. It's sleeker. What is the combat more fun? I don't remember that being much of an issue. with the first one, but...

I like it. It sounds odd, but they've given you the ability to do more tech, which is kind of counter to what a lot of developers have done in the past. They've made it where you can do just more things, more items. They fleshed out stealth a ton. Like, you have this ability now

to have this, like, gun. You remember how you can, like, slow down time? It's like, just stuff that me through. I forget it's there every time, and I die over and over. It wasn't very necessary. Right? It just kind of fell out of place, but I like that. it's there because whenever I go to harder difficulties, because I don't play it on normal at this point.

Remember even the story struggled to explain it? They were like, uh, it's because you were frozen for so long. Yeah, and also it hurts you and stuff, but it really doesn't. So it's weird. But they have this new ability you can use in place of that if you're a stealth build where you can spray acid on dead bodies to get rid of them so no one can find them. Oh, that's cool. I think that's just one of like several mechanics that they've added. And they flesh out the perk system. I think it rivals New Vegas in terms of like the ability to do things with it because what I liked about New Vegas

was that they took the framework of fallout and they expanded it through like modifications the ability to make weapons the ability to expand an economy I'm a big fan of economics in the game I like how that works you like the fucking settlements

I do no no no not like settlements and stuff more like just how how do you extract the most amount of value from the items you are given in the game and how do you do that in a timely manner to where it is also fun like that like in spore I was really big into the economy build.

Like, I was neutral, dead all the way to the space age. I know no one's going to get that. Like, five people will get that reference. Spore was a big cultural touch. I didn't even have video games. I didn't even I played sport. No, everyone in our generation played Spore like crazy. It's good.

It was a good game. I just would steal, well, I'd ask to borrow my friend, quote-unquote,'s DS. He once promised me a dirt bike. I think you brought this up before I don't remember if you have But I feel like This fucking guy He promised me a dirt bike

Fucking lying bitch Well I mean He didn't quite owe me a dirt bike I don't know I had a friend who told me A sister got eaten by a Komodo dragon Is she okay You know

He didn't have a sister Well no She got eaten by a Komoto dragon You know he lied to my fucking face Like an idiot I believed him for like a week And my mom was like My mom looked at me like

Oh God You're like that Okay. She explained it to me. I was just like, oh, fuck. Oh, God, I'm a fool. I once... It's so weird how many things that I should not have been watching at such a young age.

Like the photo? No, no, I told a kid at school that I was actually a Terminator. And I was sent from the future. And you carved your flesh and you just saw it. Like, see? Hard exoskeleton. I pulled off my arm's skin. And I was like, check it.

No, I remember telling him Some time passed And I told him very, very earnestly, I'm sorry, I'm not actually a Terminator And he was like, yeah, I know I was like, oh, wow, okay I thought I really fooled this kid

It was so fucking cool being a kid man pretending to be a dinosaur running around And shit, dude, like I grew up really close to my elementary school So every time I go to my old house I see it And, you know, it's like It was kind of this stander

90s 2000 style red brick in our area just red brick flat big ass long wide flat building I don't really know how standard that is for schools yeah but but yeah I just every time I go there I just think about one there was this huge swing set like one of the extra tall like the 24 foot ones and it was like on one side was just you know big old playground you'd be fine if you like fell off it you'd be okay on the other side just 10 feet behind it and if your feet were long enough you would scrape the fence because there was a fence and then a road

right there if you turned around you would fly into the road if you let go and let go yeah like the rule for this by the way

they didn't make a bigger fence or do anything the rule was you can't face that way when you're swinging like it was the most insane shit like some kid was gonna get guillotine

there at one boy I don't know man it was just terrible god I you're built character but it's funny that area is weird I don't know if you knew

this like my mom always said it was like a cartel thing because she's a little paranoid like that but uh there's always a bunch of like horse ranches around where i lived and they would like turn into mexican restaurants and i was like ah my you're just being a little racist yeah and like uh but there would be like four or five mexican restaurants right and um but they were like in the middle of like a 10-acre plot of horses everywhere and um that sounds suspicious yeah there was always be a lot of gunshots but I was like

people shoot a lot of guns around here but like I didn't like I didn't ever I famously like don't make the connection until it's too late

like I even my neighbor didn't fool you yeah they raised exclusively massive roosters yeah that took a minute it took two trips for me to realize oh god

you live next to a cockfighting ring I still remember my fucking ex she um we we both talked about it like it was obvious that's what it was

but they had chicks and it always just made me incredibly sad how could it not and at one point I always treated the neighbors coldly and I'm sure he knew that I knew what was going on he looked like a dirtbag guy

and he was like when I was walking with her he was like do you want to hold one of these chicks and she was like yes and she knew what it was and she still just like held the chick and like had me take photos and that was when I knew she had absolutely no moral backbone yeah it's just absolutely

imagine indulge she's a little too ditsy man I don't know man just like she knew what it was and still it's like how could your reaction also be anything other than a deep sadness you know I just kill me and there were like dog crates back there yeah yeah you know you know there's a bunch of fat

nut roosters back there being forced to kill each other it's terrible man and uh it is a crime it should be treated more as a crime I don't know it's uh yeah it's fucked up man oh speaking of the cycles of history were born into Do you think Mexicans get their toddlers' ears pierced because that's what Mesoamericans did? I think about this all the time.

Where did that come from? Surely the Spaniards didn't bring that over. I'll never bothered Googling it. I'll be honest. A lot of the people who had kids around me growing up were like super white trash and also had their kids ears pierce. So I really can't say. Maybe it's just a poor thing.

I think it's just a poor thing. Show off your toddler's bling. Yeah, exactly. Get that iced out kid. Iceed out. Name my kid, XJ7. I think that was the name of a robot from an old show God I can't really remember just like it's like a Elon bus style name XJ 9 cross whatever

a fucking Xerox copper copy your name I don't fucking know man God learn to sleep like a normal fucking person if you need to be a nap guy be a nap guy every time I get up at three to go fishing I'm just I think naps are lazy so instead of that I'll just go to sleep at 2 p.m. Don't let your hate of the Spanish crossover into siestas okay siestas exist for a reason no they're good though man I don't know

I found that if I take one over 30 minutes the other day a shot yeah that's why whenever I do it I'm like I'm just gonna roll the dice and because I'll go to sleep so early in the day anyway

I'm like whatever I'll just try to because like if instead of waking up at like eight or nine as I did if instead I just woke up at 11 I'd be fine right now I've played this game before

and usually I come out on top because like i you know it's just essentially quote unquote over sleep until 11 p.m. i'm just fucking weird yeah i'm sorry but i think this podcast might be shot i'm so fucking tired so and we have 30 minutes we're going to call this the special thanksgiving edition the special short thanksgiving edition i don't know what got a thanksgiving fact for me oh from the first thanksgiving sure give me some facts you're the history guy let's talking about turkeys and shit squanto

was six inches hard I don't think they had films like that back then I don't know if you can confirm that I've seen a film like this before but I don't know I honestly know precious little about the first Thanksgiving like all I've ever read about it was in like 1491 by Charles Mann and he said something about Squanto which was incorrect he said you know that thing how it was like the

they showed the pilgrims like so this is fucking maze right and this is how you fucking planted and you do the three sisters thing with the squash and the beans and they all support each other and like you bury a fish with the maze and it helps fertilize the soil and in 1491 he was like actually squanto got that from Europeans or some shit or he said that that was like a new thing that no apparently that is not the case and that isn't incorrect because I looked into that I was like that's very interesting but no it's just those people there they did that I don't even remember the name of those people. I'm too tired.

All I can do is ramble about things that I've written about dinosaurs and dreams. I'm completely shot. Dinosaur dreams and bones and things. But, yeah, thanks for stopping by, guys. Y'all take care. You all have a good Thanksgiving. Be safe, not there? Yes, please do.

Audios. Well, real quick. Fuck it. We're not. We take it all back. We're going again. We're going to read a comment or two. I read a comment last time that asked me to research.

Hughie Long and I did research Huey Long I really do appreciate the recommendation my only issue with it and I'm not staging this as an argument or anything is that we didn't live to see Huey Long take office for a long amount of time now and we know what Louisiana is like today and obviously it could have been different if he didn't die or get assassinated but we really don't know the lasting effects of his policy change or what could have been so that That's really my answer to that specific commenter who mentioned that. The best populace died young.

Yeah. And, um. The Brockie brothers. Yeah. And I understand it's a, uh, you know, like just boiling down populism into a core argument is obviously a flawed argument. Um, but I don't care. This is the misinformation podcast. So, so there you go.

Yeah. Squanto wasn't real. He was an alien. It's like your source is me. He's, no, of course not. You know, I, uh, you know, like, uh, you know, like, uh, we're just hanging you know

got a comment I see a bunch Midas Redding says this podcast is ADHD manifest and I absolutely love it this is sleep deprivation manifest that's what this episode is yeah this podcast is perfect

because Wolf keeps them tethered to reality so a mortal like myself can understand it sometimes I feel the reverse if I'm being honest sometimes I do feel the opposite whenever I get too caught up in a ramble he's like this is how it relates to 40K

no no no it's about mushrooms and caves you don't fucking get it man it's about mushroom's caves and a my psychology episode will be coming I just need to organize my fucking thoughts because there's a lot of shit that goes into it no you come here with some mycology stuff not today because I I'm sorry

I'm just so fucking shot right now I did my psychology class and I took my notes so I figured it out there you go quick mushroom guide if you want a nice standout meal go buy some oyster mushrooms go buy some chanterelles you know they're a little expensive you live near an ocean an ocean an Asian grocery store they got to have some in stock just go buy some cooking with stock and some butter or just

butter and serve them a little bit of time you know cook it for like 10 20 minutes so most of the moisture's gone and just you know that's a real easy meal if you want a quick mushroom meal here's an even easier more inexpensive mushroom meal just go find some and eat them I don't do that don't do that please don't do that God no The liberal media is lying to you. You can eat the mushrooms. They're tasty and free. There's mushrooms that can make you allergic to yourself.

It's as close as we get to Eldridge Magic. I don't even get it. Don't you fucking understand? They breathe. If there's enough mushrooms in a room, they'll choke the oxygen out of it. Also, the spores will kill you probably. But that's debatable. I liked those ones when I was a kid that were all like puffy.

And they had like a powder on the inside. Yeah, so the powder is spores. I really hope you didn't breathe that because there's actually two varieties in Texas. The nice white, fluffy ones that are cool, but there's a kind in East Texas that has gold spores and a gold outline. It looks really cool. Yeah, like stomping on them. Yeah, super deadly. Don't let your dog get near that.

Let's hear another comment. Belch spawn ones is quoting you. That'd be awesome. bro man end quote Wolf being a trendsetter got to start saying that'd be awesome bro man

I'll be honest with you I am not always 100% still learning this man I remember Cobb wanted game suggestions and no I'm sorry friends always hit me with game and book suggestions I got enough games and I got enough

books I can tell you this about the finals every time like I have a winning strat the next day it doesn't fucking work and I have to redo it all over again man it'll start matchmaking you with people that know what they're doing i think i see a lot of comments sorry hold on a 10 lover i think said yet again he ha gaming all caps there you go i love a good a 10 r brr um i do see a lot of comments

about public land i am familiar with public hunting core land wolf core land I don't know what core land is let's look up what core land is I am familiar with the public hunting process it's just that you know living in South Texas we have to commute all the way to the east if we want to hunt you around

you know and I just find there's a I have a moral issue with that personally but you know so there are a few different is he referring to this an organization with a mission to advance soil health I don't remember you talking about soil health but you in general do talk about soil health

so I don't this is like a lobbyist group probably could be good could be bad you never know you've got to do research but uh well no of course they're good look at all the green on their website it's probably a leasing company is describing if I had to guess like a hunting lease company there's a lot of them that exist but I could be wrong could be something else commercial real estate

could be just looking for land to buy I'd love to buy some land at one point man giving 160 acres in the valley man 150 Owen Papa 42 says Yehaw and then you translate to English and it says hey hey so I guess ye is hey in one language

and ha in another language is hay that makes me very happy Hey hey hey Speaking of your gay ears you got to listen to. There's a tunnel under Ocean Boulevard by Lana Del Rey. I listened to all sorts of Laudel Ray. That is a key part of my gay

ears. As a gamer, therefore I cannot read. There's a tonal under ocean boulevard. I'm not a big fan of the whole album, but AMW is the best song I think she's ever made. That's actually funny because there is actually a tunnel under ocean drive

or near it somewhere in downtown. Some guy in like the 40s or 50s had this idea to build an underground tunnel near the ocean and it's been closed for decades like like what is it I know some people who are in their 40s and 50s that talk about going down there in the 80s and smoking weed and just like doing hate and shit you know but like it was abandoned and creepy back then and it was 40 fucking years ago how can you get to it now can you can still get to it no yeah you should take your camera go up there you'll just see just this like like cc like

a civilian corpse or whatever style like 1930s es brutalist concrete tunnel oh that's fucking rat yeah it's coolest shit man if you're in an urban X I love urban exploration like I think it's Shia or Shiae

I don't know there's a popular channel who does it in Europe and shit there was this one YouTuber and it was very illegal he just got in a kayak there was like this old prison island in like Washington Sound you know like off of like Seattle what was it like a

what was happening there nothing like it was still because it was owned by the state there were like guards there that would just patrol and you know because you're not allowed to be there you're not allowed to trespass and he just rolled up there in a kayak and he just camped and he explored all these

old buildings and shit it was incredibly cool like old prison it was just yeah no it was spooky as fuck and it was mostly his personality was just funny but he uploaded like two videos and then stopped probably because he kept doing incredibly illegal things

or he got arrested I don't know I can't remember his name but yeah no I love the idea of that just like any I'm so confused with like the legality of it

especially on YouTube you know because like yeah normally like you can't exactly post a video of you doing something illegal yeah but that's like stuff like that gets millions of views like millions and millions of views

and I don't know if it's like the shock suspense factor I know that's got me there a few times But, like, for, I just really like watching just abandon shit. It's intriguing. And also, I mean, no one is actively being hurt. So, like, I don't care, you know. It's not, like, unethical or whatever to watch a guy just stumble around some old buildings. You know, it's funny, though, is, like, if you, like, you can, um, just to get into, like, the rat water of it all, right?

You can, um, purchase software where you can, like, see the rates of de-urbanization of rural areas throughout the world. depends on what software you have of course and then you can actually find more and more abandoned places based off of that and you can explore it through that that's one way of doing it or you can just use Google Maps driving to Big Bend I was surprised by the amount of just completely

abandoned houses I stopped and took photos of a few of them I'm going to stop and take photos of more next time but I was mostly just like I took the what was I'll put a few more of the photos

I was sort of disappointed i feel like i didn't properly capture the vibe of uh some of them but like this right here the photo of me to the left it's just these old and i was sort of spooked out walking around there and i was like i don't know if someone could be hiding in here uh you can see where the the photo didn't work but yeah like this and like right around there is where i didn't go because I caught malevolent vibes, and I was like, nah. But yeah, just like these fall apart old buildings. I'll throw a few of these photos for the slideshow here.

Yeah, I really sure. I have more photos of fucking birds than I do these cool old buildings. There was one. It was this tiny little shack. And it was the first time I drove out there. I didn't stop and take a photo. I was like, I'll do it next time. And I couldn't find it this time.

So now I don't know if I imagined it. But it was like this tiny old abandoned shack, and someone put a bucky's sign on it. It's very funny But yeah Going back I couldn't fucking find it again Oh but here's another

photo I Yeah I'm gonna put this in the slideshow too But you can see a house behind this like old car And this isn't an actual town And there was a cop just down the road So I was like I probably shouldn't go in here But like

I gotta figure there's no one squatting anywhere Just because there's like 10 buildings in this fucking town Yeah and it's barren And it's so bare Who would you even panhand There's just

nothing to you know yeah you know like oh and i saw this one guy also he was on my drive down there he was shirtless riding a bike and looked very homeless and he waved and i was like oh that's cool but just middle of middle of nowhere yeah and i was like i wonder how far that guy's biking and then like i you know a day passed i started coming back and i saw him just like 40 further miles down the road so i don't know where he's coming from or where he's going but god god's god speed that's the phrase I love that shit I like the idea of traveling just like really just going out there and just

walking exploring things I love doing that right but just the idea of like the harsh reality of like weather and climate systems is bearing down on you like they don't know this you know this about me I'll never live somewhere that snows it's like my top fear dying in a snow drift man I cruise I flip there's snow everywhere

I'm eating the leather in my seats and then like I'm just like you know what this is it this is just fucking it I died because of snow and I shouldn't have fucking come here This is the Texan mentality Like it starts snowing and you think Well I'm gonna die That's exactly it

That's the entire city shut down After that hurricane hit And there was like snow everywhere I threw a bowling ball size snowball At my ex at my ex at the time It was great But yeah like it I just I don't know

I'm terrified of fucking snowman I've honestly been looking at places in the southwest like New Mexico Arizona and Nevada and all that just because it gets cold which I don't mind I don't mind cold

I just can't handle snow I just it just freaks me out you know I need to die further west than where I was born this is a rule I know this your manifest destiny yeah well I don't want to use that

are you sure for some reason I need to die further west than when I was pouring all I know is that it's funny that's funny that's I honestly look Looking at West Texas and shit, I think I would like to live somewhere out there in the desert. It's just nice vibes out there. Spooky. I like it.

There's a lot of good outskirts places. If you live out in the middle of nowhere, you're familiar with this place. It's called Lowe's spelled like, it's spelled just like the building supply company. Lowe's grocery stores. I barely ever see those. Yeah, they're only on the outskirts of major cities, right? Or in the middle of nowhere, right? And they're only in like six states um you know i'm i'm job searching i'm looking around at things you know and i'm just considering options and i saw in marfa texas which is like marfa lights if you don't know about marfa i'd really look it up right now look up the marfa lights good little rabbit hole to get into there's these lights that appear that are like alien lights and they speed and go around if

you're if you ever read weird texas growing up then you definitely know about the marfa lights and uh yeah anyway in that town way out west it's so fucking far west it's it's like in that tiny panhandle big bend s area um there's a job there oh that's just barely further west than i traveled well i'll be traveling there this time because i'm i'm actually going to stay in chirokawa territory for the geronimo video that sounds sick yeah i'm looking forward to it it's funny just to get to big bend because texas is so fucking big it's like it's only another four hours to go to arizona it's just nothing yeah it really is like like once you get past just honestly between

what is it like fort davis or edessa and austin it's brutal because there's nothing well i love the nothing that's my favorite part i don't know it's just i like the vibes put on fleet foxes in the handsome family

fucking handsome family i'm like a ugh oh god i've taken a road trip with you before but oh that handsome family the handsome family you keep i don't know if i'm saying it wrong it's i don't know it's like a blue grassy i don't know i'll send you one of their songs it's like 1960s mumford and sons man

they they're actually authentic i don't know that they're not a bunch of california hipsters with a banjo no that's fair it's like a man and his wife a man with an incredibly deep voice and his wife singing songs there's this one it's back in my day it's a real deep cut it's like the lyrics are fucking awesome you just like those sad like soul's the blue grassy music and And I just, I can't listen to it as much as I used to. Just because, like, I don't know, I've been getting really into media that just, it pumps me up, gives me energy for the past few years. Well, yeah, but when you're driving, like, 10 hours in West Texas, you're not, you know,

I, like, my, one of my favorite songs in the last few years is the god awful. This is from Kanye's very much villainous, villainous, capital V villainous era. And it's just a stupid, stupid, stupid fucking song called Carnival, which is sort of a, I think it was like his only song from the past few years that actually charted. It was one of my favorite YouTubers. It was his worst song of the year. And I can see why, because it's a very ugly song with ugly lyrics,

but that's why I like it. But, you know, it's high energy, like loud, sort of trap-ish. I mean, like, me and my friend Charlie used to be my roommate.

He, uh, we had this thing back and forth. We would just play, uh, we experiment with music a lot, right? And,

um, he was into that weird indie shit. And I was more into the, just rock, heavy metal, various forms of metal and how that goes down and all that. But we play war zone by Yoko Ono in the morning to make me get out of bed like a fucking monster, full blast. And if you haven't heard War Zone by Yoko Ono, I wish you could play it over me talking right now without getting like trade, like copy marked or whatever or trade strike thing. Look it up. If you're listening, look up, look up Yoko Ono's war zone.

and I want you to tell me there's a god I think he played that for me more than likely he's played it at least much so you heard him trying to fuck with me by playing this who do this or play like top decibel 120 decibel mommy and just really stupid fucking lyrics right

we're living in a wolzo awesome uh it's a world dog so I woke up to this I'm imagining you waking up like

The Undertaker in that GIF Your eyes are rolled up in your head Like you don't get up, you just do a straight Sit up out of bed She's furious I love how fucking accurate that is Because it's exactly what happened I would get up

I would just move instantly The covers are around me As I'm still like trying to like get to my door And go punch my fucking room Let's read the comments here It's a war zone of my eardrops God what a god awful comment Six years ago

This is how you defeat Thanos Go back to fucking Coppets. We're off tap. Go back to comments. This translate feature, Translate to English is so bizarre. This guy just did all caps, war zone,

like a space between each letter. You put Translate to English. It adds a single O. I don't know why. That's really funny. Yeah, this really says a lot about our society. What are you, seven years ago?

It is very, we live in a society. So much fucking society. You know what brings me really Oh wait, there's Spanish I can end resuming La Guerrera is mala And la Paz is Buena Bad, peace

Peace is good The war is bad The peace is good, yeah Huh Piz is Buena In short Oh, that's what end resuming means

In short, war is bad and peace is good I'd be honest I would not have gotten that I didn't know Go back to Gloven Let's go back to comments, man. Oh, no, I want to read the comments with Yoko Ono's Warzo. If you'd like for your comment to be read out loud on the podcast,

just go to Yoko Ono's Warso and leave a comment. Let's see what we got. If you like samurai robots, play Kenchi. Amazing and interesting setting on a tidily locked desert mood. The vibe of Kenchi is sort of engrossing. I'm not going to play Kenchi. I don't know if you know it's famously punishing. I'm not really into those kind of games.

I mean, like, you like Eldering and shit, though. I'm sure you can find a way. You never address the stupid way that you Westerners view Buddhism and how it's some crazy cult hippie feel-good nonsense. I don't know, man. I'm so fucking tired. Yeah, I mean, it's all individual at the end of the day, you know? It's just the hedonic treadmill.

The problem is. the feeling good. The idea of the Hadonic Trebness sounds like a theory that makes you... This is my understanding of Buddhism summarized. I was reading in my chair and Sia was there. And, you know, naturally, like, I looked up at one point, I was like watching her, watching the birds. And I thought to myself, no, I said to her, because I wanted her to hear it. Wouldn't it be nice if we lived somewhere with more colorful birds because they were just like crows or whatever? and that's exactly the problem why am I thinking that

I was in a nice chair with my cat and the books instead of living in that moment I thought I wish the birds were more colorful I should have just been enjoying the birds Sea was simply enjoying the birds but as a human being I failed and I could imagine a better world with better birds to look at

Sia was simply engrossed in the birds but that's it right there I mean I can see how like that would be that could be like what's the word for it recognizing those sorts of like that's I feel like if I was younger and I didn't try reading any of that stuff I would have considered that thought not harmful but it is a harmful thought

that instead of living in and appreciating the moment you know what if the birds look nicer and then I did also appreciate the fact those crows when the light hits them at a certain angle there's really nice blue shade to them oh yeah they got like a little lavender blue thing going on yeah they're not black their feathers eat so much light but they do reflect some interesting shades when you look at them at a certain angle they're almost like iridescent i do feel a little sad when i go into the grocery like the grocery store parking lot and there's a lot of grackles and birds with like missing feet

that does kind of get to me a little ellie is the my sister she is like the the cynic on my shoulder all the time because like i told her that i'd stop scrolling shit and i this is a habit that i thankfully kept up since like i moved into your house so it's like eight months nine months now where i don't scroll shit so instead i if i have a moment and i'm outside because you still find yourself waiting for things you know yeah um so i just like would watch the birds and she's like do you notice how fucked up they all are and i had noticed but i had not given that thought form that the birds are all fucked up and they have fucked up wings i i often regret that i don't have my camera whenever i know because they're always i never have my camera with me when i noticed them

hopping around on one leg. But it's, yeah, no, the birds are fucked up. You've got to take them as they are, though, Wolf. You can't imagine a world where the birds aren't all fucked up. Because that's silly. It doesn't make any sense. It's an unattainable ideal, you know? Like, I just want to go back to that, though,

and it's like, what can't I live in a place with more colorful birds, you know? The birds are what they are. They are what they are, you know? But that is a question that you asked yourself that you can answer. It's like because I'm doing things right now that make it where I can't go to a place like that. If that was a true thing that I wanted, I wanted to act on that desire, I would go do that and do that. But you know that you have these things that you can't do that. You have to finish your school.

You have to maintain your lifestyle. And then if you want, you can go live in a place like South Florida. You don't have to do any of those things. You don't have to do anything, period, you know? But motivation is like it's a human trait, you know? Like, it's what we do. It's a recipe for unhappiness. It is that.

Oh, yeah. I don't disagree with that. How can I watch the birds? It's even the idea of moving, you're talking about moving to a place where the birds aren't all fucked up? No, no, no. The birds have to fight to eat like everything else.

Anywhere you move, the birds are still going to be fucked up. Just the color. Just the color of the birds is different. And if you go to a place where the birds are all colorful, you'll think about the future and climate change. And now the birds are, all these birds are going extinct. There used to be, there was a species of parrot in the Carolinas. Did you know about this? I did.

During colonization, they were colorful, beautiful. birds in Carolina is where I did live for like a year but I and I thought it wouldn't it be nice if there were parrots here but we killed them all for their nice feathers and that's where you're that's where you're let that that that that thought of like I need prettier birds to look at that's that leads you to that place let me be honest with you where I need these colorful feathers as someone who loves animals and plants in the environment and all that you know I am in a constant state of turmoil thinking about stuff like that a constant state of agony and um power Learning to appreciate the birds in the bush is the key to happiness.

But instead you're like, damn, I wish those birds were in my fucking hand right now. One of those useless birds are getting my fucking hand. You know what I mean? It's just the fact that like I ever... No, I do, I do. But at the end of the day, it's about, you know, a very cliched Bible passage, but it's that incredible one about, you know, the strength to change the things you can, the peace to accept the things.

things you can't and the wisdom to know the difference, that bit. It's like you can't save all the birds. You appreciate the ones you have. You can do things here and there, you know, just to like it. I find that especially in ecology and conservation specifically is if you, a lot of these people, they specialize. They find something that they really, really, really like. Even if it's like one species of quail.

So they find a bunch of money and get a bunch of grants to buy a large enough parcel of land to put quail on. Part of the reason quail aren't that often found in this area is one. dehabitation, low it is it, farmland and all that, pesticides. But a really big contributing factor that no one really talks about is fire ants, which were more native to southern areas. And they came further up because of global warming,

but that was expedited by selling soil, sod, plants, fruits, you know, that caused more fire ants to be up here even faster. So, like, the person who deals with quail and that one specific type of bobcoyle or whatever, you know, like that is their specific. thing that they choose to decide to deal with. Now obviously their interest cross over with other groups but I've noticed that like people who just in general are about conservation I feel like they sometimes lack they lack a concrete argument that grounds why they believe in those things like I believe in clean water because clean water should be widely accessible to any creature you know

it seems crazy to me that we have to have a debate about toxifying water. It just seems it's ridiculous to me it's morally abhorrent you know it's ethically wrong and yet we still have to have these conversations as though we're not like dealing literally with the devil like if you're familiar with the cancer belt that's a great example um i'm unfamiliar with that term what is that so uh the cancer belt is a selected area it's like a kind of a crest right around like the louisiana a mississippi certain areas of arkansas and all that mostly collected around rivers and stuff um it's an air area where the cancer rate is so exponentially high because of the amount of industry nearby and the way that the wind works and everything kind of like sticks it all in one area for too

long that the cancer rate's incredibly high hence the name the cancer belt now knowing that what the fuck would you want to live there because it's where opportunity is it's where i desire to have few teeth and having gone through that area a few times and living near that area i I went to tech school in Mississippi. We called it the teeth tax. You live there. Certainly the state comes by every year and takes a few. I don't see how else.

We had like teachers. So these are government employees who I know have like dental plans. And they just had no fucking teeth. It was the most bizarre shit. I don't know why. I'm not joking. There was literally shit in the water and in the air in places like that. And it's not just the people who are affected.

It's like everything over. around it is affected, you know? Like, everyone likes to talk about Flint, Michigan, just because it's like a popular thing to talk about, right? But, like, we have generational issues like this that exist, you know? My fucking government professor who I hate. This is the first time that I hated him because of a view he expressed, but he was talking about Texas, how there's no casinos in Texas,

which I thought, for some reason I just thought that only Nevada had legal casinos and when that is not the case. I don't know, I don't know why. Louisiana. We went to, we went to a casino in Biloxi. No, well, that was after that I got on the bus. I didn't realize that all along the Bible Belt, there were a bunch of fucking casinos. Yeah, no.

And that was me realizing that. Yeah, I was seeing how many were off the highway. But, yeah, no, like, in Biloxi, like, you, I don't know how much of it you saw. The town is dystopian as fuck. Because you just have all along the ocean, the casinos, and shanty town. And, like, that's fucking it. It's just really low-income areas in the casinos. And it was also like...

But this fucking government professor, he was talking about, he was like, and you have, he was talking about lobbyists, right? And like, you know, how like every year, like, they try to get legislation to legalize casinos and, you know, but the Christians are against it for like, you know, whatever, biblical theological reasons. And it's like, no, they are a net social negative. And like, they destroy communities. And you want it up with all of fucking coastal Texas looking like Biloxi.

Do you realize how much casinos would destroy this fucking city one? Oh, completely. Absolutely destroyed. And it's just the most rich boy academic bullshit I ever heard. Like these ignorant Christians simply won't allow this source of taxable income. Shut the fuck up. My God, that pissed me off. Yeah, it's a hypercapital.

What an absolute fucking asshole. It's rat water. If you do not understand how endemic hopelessness is to poverty-stricken areas. Like, my fucking God. Like, I, every time whenever I drove back from my job at Lackland to, like, where I lived, next to the cockfighting guy, like, all the billboards on that side of St. Antonio, it was lottery injury lawyer's liquor, lottery injury lawyers liquor, and it drove me fucking crazy.

And it's, you could really see the, you think advertising doesn't work on you. There was the most effective lottery billboard ever. And it just had the, um, the jackpot size. Oh, it's one like it's interesting. And I was never, and I, I don't buy any lottery tickets now. And I was never tracking how big the jackpot was. But driving by there, I'd be like, every time it ticked over a billion, I knew. and I'd be like, I got to go.

You never know. Then I can move out of this place next to the fucking cockfighters. Yeah, if you're heading out of Houston going north on 45, there is a big ass sign on top of the Texas Lotto building that says the Powerball and the Mega Millions, you know? And every time that I would go back home and my mom would be driving me, she would go stop and get one. Every time she saw that sign.

It took me years to pick up on this. You don't think about it until you see the actual number and it's like, that number could be my number. Yeah, and I just want to make all of those. I could go move to a place with the colorful birds. I can move to Florida. I'm trying to remember the names of the people they killed in The Running Man, the old one. Oh, I haven't seen that movie in a million years.

You can be in Hawaii with Eddie and John. Did they release a remake, or are they actively making one with a guy from Top Gun? Did you hear about those? I don't know if it's out yet, but I really want to see it because I made jokes about like... I don't. It's going to be like no charm. Who cares? Let's just want to see it. Let's just see if it's funny.

Let's just find out. It's going to be the same thing as like when they did the Total Recall remake. It's like, all right, so we're going to take this. We're going to remove the Arnold Schwarzenegger. All the fun and practical effects. Yeah. Yeah, and it's going to suck ass. Yeah.

Put Arnold Schwarzenegger in the silliest suit I've ever seen. That's how you make the running. Was that, that was running, right? The spandex and shit. It introduces the entire, I get it. It's the 80s and you've got to start the movie. But it's just like, he's, you know. He's a helicopter pilot for, like, the dystopian government.

No, I would not kill these people. They're like, kill all of them. And he's like, even the women and the children. And he's like, especially the women and the children. I like how they, like, play on the idea of editing footage in advance. Like, later on, they make him to be the bad guy. Like, I could see, like, that's a... That's got to be such a mind-blowing idea in the 80s.

I love that movie so fucking much, man. It is top-tier, goofy, stupid, 80s, action, sci-fi. That is my favorite type of movie. Didn't they drop him into the whatever the hunger games with like a slide too? I remember him being on a slide instead of dropping off of a battle bus. Oh yeah, yeah. It was like this weird cage thing. I'm remembering the host was the guy from the family feud with the pinky rings.

Yeah, that's why it was cool. That's why we watched that movie shit. I really wished that like I'm just saying the running man would have been a hell of a lot better if they bawled the fuck out and got Steve Harvey. Like, I'm just saying, it would have been better. They're doing what? But think about it. Picture evil Steve Harvey. That was the whole idea, right?

Like, taking this sweet, well-known national character at that time. They did what to the women and the children? Hold on. Why did I have a Patreon notification with a funny? Like, even then, you know, like, taking like a well-known, like, figure, even like, obviously, this is not preferable, but like, Jimmy Kimmel or Steve Harvey or, like, someone who's well-known and in the national audience, putting them in that spot and making them this, you know, like, kind of weird controversial.

prediction and all that, this juxtaposition, you know, like, uh, uh, they're really bad in dystopia universe and all that. That's what I liked about the old one is that this was a well-known person. When I watched this movie around my parents, they're like, oh, yeah, that's crazy. Because, like, they have this idea of this person in their mind. Like, they know who this person is, you know, like, through television in the 70s and shit. But, like, I don't know, I suppose they bawled out for Steve Harvey. But, again, I'm going to watch it because I'm a fan of the franchise.

No, that's a fun idea, and they wouldn't do that. I'm sorry, I got to cut you off. I'm dying now. All right. I've got to get going. Well, I think we successfully doubled the length of the fucking podcast. We did. We did, in fact, do that.

For five minutes. All right. Well, thanks for stopping by, guys. Before you go, what is it? Comment if you guys are interested in this idea. I had, I'm trying to get my boy Cobby into AOE 2. I want to get him to AGOV buyers too. And I have this situation where we're going to spawn on the biggest available map possible

It's going to be islands apart, a huge ocean in between with a big jungle on one side with the Aztecs, played by Robert, and then me on the other side playing the Spanish. Now, if you guys want to see how this looks, if you like the idea, if that interests you guys at all, you know, could record it and everything, just comment if that interests you. I was going to say, post your comment so I can make fun of it and say no, but now I'm sort of am intrigued. I've played AOE 2 for about 20 years, and Robert has played, I think about, I want to say, 30 minutes. I did half of the tutorial, and I was like, this is stupid. I want to go play Civilization 5 again. So knowing that, if you want to see us play AOL2 with him playing the Aztecs and me playing the Spanish, I would love to get your feedback.

All right. It's been good podcast. Thank you for listening. What is the end game? Just Mexicans exist? That's up to the viewers, I guess, isn't it? All right, guys. Audios.

Take care.
