WRFH/Radio Free Hillsdale 101.7 FM - Possum Insurance Fraud | Boys Only #11

Episode Date: September 6, 2025

Nate and Storm chat with Patrick "PHam" Hamilton about being so back, battling emus, and the question of why.

Have you ever heard that old song that goes, The Boys Are Back in Town, Nate? I have, Storm. Who is it by again? I don't know. I don't know. I think like Young Gravy or something. That is, I don't know if that's true. Yeah, the classic Young Gravy song, The Boys Are Back in Town.

That song really encapsulates what I'm feeling right now. What are you feeling? Like, just like, like, give a little bit, like, if you had to put it in, if you had to put it in, four words. What, like, what, what, what do you feel? We are so back. I have to say the same, Storm. You agree? I think I do.

Well, it's called her out. All right. No, I'm kidding. We're so back. It's me. Storm Drexler. And you, Nate Gallagher. With a second season, I can't believe they renewed us.

Yeah, no, I got, yeah, no, man, we're chopped. Of boys only. Welcome back. Ladies, I guess, like, no. No, not ladies. They don't listen. That's the one. You already brought the one thing. I broke the one rule. Welcome back gentlemen. Welcome back gentlemen. Boys even. To our roundtable. Our safe space where the boys, the lads, the gents come together to just lay it out there. They come together right now. They come together right now over me to talk about the male experience here at Hillsdale.

And no one knows the male experience better than our first guest of our second season, Patrick Hamilton. How's it going, man? Dude, it's going fantastic. I'm so happy to be here. Love season one, ready to kick season two off now as a senior. Yeah. Oh, man. It's going to be a fun time.

Who are you? Why are you there? Who are you? Yeah. Why is Patrick Hamilton? I'll do you one better. How is Patrick Hamilton? Dude, so like I said, Patrick Hamilton, senior here.

A lot of people, you'll just see me around on campus. I'm a very loud personality, to say the least. And so, you know, just seeing me anywhere. former Simpson boy, that's how I know, these two lovely lads. And so, actually Storm and I were on the same hall. Shout out 2F.S. Shout out 2Fs Simpson. Dude, what a great hall that was. My freshman year when I was in 2FS, we were so dead. Literally, no culture, nothing to do, come back as a junior. I think you and I brought it back. I'd have to argue that that's true.

Yeah. I'd agree. You know, so yeah, I mean, we had a great year. And so now ready to take off senior year as a boondock A boondoxian? A boondocker? A boondoker? A boondoker? I don't know if I like Boondocker. I'm not sure. What would you call him? Boondokite?

That doesn't work. A booner? No, no, no, no. No, no, no. Either way, if you don't know, Boondocks, off-campus house, maybe the best one. Could be.

Could be. It's right. It's one of the houses. That's right. Or I guess it will be last night. Last night. Yeah, we'll see it. Yeah, we'll see it.

Yeah. Yeah, heck yeah. But yeah. But yeah. But yeah. Peeham, as he's known. Affectionally known as Peeham by us, us little lads, is one of our best pals here on campus,

and you can indeed find him everywhere. Yes. He's one of those guys that spawns in at the best of times. It just makes times better. Yeah, you know. Guys, I think it's time for my favorite thing ever, asking questions. Asking your questions, because now I'm going to be honest,

I put the poll out really late. I forgot we were doing this. You forgot about our show? I did. Because we normally do it like 7 o'clock. We're doing it like 1.30. Yeah. That's fair.

Yeah. But I heard we got good responses though. We got great responses because you guys came out in force. You said, let me just dial in. I think before you jump off onto those, it's important to say if in case there's any new listeners, you know, who have just now spawned in, new freshmen, who are saying, who are these guys? What am I listening to?

You, you, listening to this. Point to yourself right now, wherever you are. You can, yes, thank you. You can ask questions, and we will answer them about campus, about us, about literally anything, about hypotheticals. Follow the Instagram. Boys Only podcast. Yes, if you go follow that, we post on the story, I think it is. We post on, I post on the story.

Yes, I don't know anything. Storm is useless. It doesn't do anything. And you can post your questions, and we might answer them, unless you're Benny Cody. We will not be answering Benny Cody. Cody's question. No, shout up

any Cody though. But shout out. All right, what do we got first? First one is by Peter Gilchrist. Peter asks, go to Taco Bell order. Ooh.

Oh, man. We've all been there a lot. Yes. We've all been there in our lives at that low place. Yeah. Yeah. We actually, as a two of us,

we've made a lot of runs last year. I think I have spent more time in the Taco Bell drive-thru than I did in any of my individual classes. Really? Last year, at least. Oh, man.

Three credit class, three hours a week? Yeah. Oh, man. I think I spent more time than three hours in the drive. Right. But hey, that's a canon event, you know? That is.

Just sitting in there with the boys in the car. Yeah, because, I mean, I think everyone can agree. Taco Bo only tastes good after midnight. Yep. 100%. And I know that there's many times, many, many times, sadly, to say that, like, after, especially like a Friday,

hanging out with the guys in the dorm, you just are like, you know what, you're hungry. Let's go to Taco Bell. Honestly, I really love the online, like the $7 Lux. That is just the best bang for your buck for sure. Do you remember when they had the $5 box last year? They still do. It's just smaller.

No, but it was like the $5 box of like four different things in it. I think I would know, Storm. You would know. I am like the master of this. The T-bell master. The T-master? Pause on that one. Wait, what's your order, though?

That you have to agree or do you have anything else? I usually just drop in. with five. Yes, five. Five what? Five, they're called three cheese chicken flat bread melts. It's a bit of a mouthful.

Three cheese chicken flat bread melts? Yep, three cheese chicken flat bread melts. It's got to be better than Saga. I like them. I think they're tasty. They're also not that expensive. They're pretty cheap. You get five them for like $10, if that.

That's my go-to order. I like the double-stacked tacos. Those are also very good. They have like soft shell, then cheese, then the hard shell. And it's good. It's not like their savings menu. or something like that.

It's like under $2. Yeah. And you can kind of do the same thing. You get like four of them for eight bucks. And it's fantastic. Well, before this becomes a full-fledged Taco Bell advert,

let's guess the next question. Yeah, let's do it. Max Cody asks, how does it feel to be the spearhead for the six-seven movement on campus? Oh my goodness. Could you explain a little bit

what the six-seven movement is? Because I didn't know about it. I heard about it from you and I was just, I was taken by this message. Like, it's so profound. Right. And so deep.

And it's just, it's, the youth is so affected by it. And that's so important. Yeah, absolutely. Six, seven. Yeah. So, first of, I can't take all the credit for spearheading it as much as I love being the one taking credit for it. I got a shout out to my former roommate and actually one of my closest friends on this

campus, Nathan Furness. What a dog. He is. He's so cool. And he was the one that he was actually on a trip with, Chief, our wonderful associate dean of men, to Uganda this summer. And they actually had a really cool experience. and I think it was like maybe like 10 days,

maybe up to two weeks, something like that. And as they're just kind of like almost just browing out, Nathan's like, Chief, when you go back to campus, you got to do this thing called 6-7. You got to do like the little hand movement. And so what really brought it back or it actually really started on this campus was that all of a sudden Chief was going up to the RA training

and hits the 6-7. That's so good. what I think is probably Thank you for Ness Yeah so shout out for Ness So I think what got me To be the one spearheading it Was during orientation

When Chief was giving another speech I yelled Chief hit the 6-7 And I think everyone heard that And so then all of a sudden It was like boom Yodle Senior P-Ham

hitting the 6-7 But the whole joke started off this This like rap song I don't really know But like All of a sudden it's like It's like something something

And it was like 6-7 Yeah and you do your arms like And you just throw your arms up And like the younger generation middle schoolers just thought was the funniest thing in the world but like I'm pretty sure

it just turned into all LeBron edits at the end of it and so it was just kind of cringe it was kind of funny just to see a bunch of LeBron edits and then what really got it going on this campus honestly and even for me was the fact that our leadership

did it and had no idea so what the context was hey numbers are fun I remember being in the fifth grade and the number 21 being funny Oh yeah, for sure. A decade and a half ago. Yeah, a decade and a half ago. A little 9 plus 10.

I remember. I was that age once too. Yeah. Wait, a decade and a half ago when you were six? Seven. You aren't you like six in the fifth grade or something? Six, seven? You know, yeah.

You know what? Got to do what I'm known for, right? Going back to the well. The well. You're so dumb. When in doubt. When it's down, go back to the well. You know, the six or seven.

It's at the bottom, bro. Pull out the inventory real quick. Oh, man. It's so good to be back, you guys. Oh, yeah, so good. All right, please. We have a good next question. We're going to laugh for the rest of the episode.

So we get a lot of questions here. We get the silliest of silly questions. Great. We get the most serious, like, Liam Brennan last semester asked, like, what does it mean to? be a good man. Oh, we had a whole, yeah, it was an incredible. You want to go listen to the Caleb episode? It's, it's words of wisdom. Okay, yeah. It was an incredible episode. And, but we get,

also we get ephemeral questions. Questions that are like, this is, doesn't make any sense. A question asked by Holly Pickett is, is simple. It's just why. Why? Why? Why? Why? Why? I think we answered this with Dr. Church last year. But, but, but we should do it again. Why? Why boys only? Just why? Like, why do you? Why do you? Why? Why do you? Why are you? Oh, your answer? Like, why am I?

I think the question why is a lost art. I know. Because if you think about it, like at Hillsville College, right, that is the question we should be asking. All right, I'm going to get really philosophical real quick. No, do it, do it. And so, right, right when you're a freshman, you're hit with Dr. Arndt talking about the good and the founding principle and through Western Heritage and through like those core classes,

everyone, it's like everything that you're doing is kind of really, really pushing you towards like the founding principle, right? Like what like what is like the skeletons to a story? And it all stands from the question why. And the question why it can, you know, psychologically you can get behind what people are doing behaviorally. And just like like, hey, why is Patrick doing six, seven? Or like, why is Patrick doing this?

Why is Storm? Why is Nate? Why are they doing this? And that question why gets you really to the truth. So, I mean, you could go through and you can say, like, in my faith, why, why X, Y, and Z? Like, why did Christ die on a cross for our sins? Like, why did, I guess you could come with any scenario. And that's, I mean, that is almost like the question of life.

It's just like, why. And it all just goes back to, it gets you to the truth. Like, what is the baseline? What is the founding truth? What's the founding principle? So, I mean, it's a great question. it's a tough question. I am by no means an expert in anything.

I'm just a boy, just a 20-year-old. Yeah, that is the name of the game. Yeah, so. But that was a fantastic answer. That was unreal. I was like, my jaw was agape. It was actually on the table. Yeah.

Yeah, Looney Tune-Tune style jaw down to the table. That was really good. The name of the episode will be why. As in why did they renew us for a second season. Right. Indeed. I mean, no. I mean, how about you, Storm, why?

Why do you do the things you do? Let's see, pure chemical synapses firing off my brain. Very Darwinian of you. No, no, no. Why do I do the things that I do? Well, I'm here right now today because I love you guys. I love doing this show. Love you too.

And I think that it's always fun to talk with the guys and get it out there. And I think that there are lost moments, gyms in conversation that happen at like 2 a.m. and late night dorm talks or just even over lunch that only like two or three guys will hear like basically what you just said like you know if that was just us with no mics

only we would have heard that but now maybe someone out there listening is like wow why am I doing what I'm doing you know so you get to hear something genuinely profound exactly because so much of us you know this show's all the internet and we're silly on this show

because it's just in our nature but I mean that's such a it's such a beautiful thing because at the end of the day it is all about why isn't it I mean, you know, why did we do the show? Because Storm and I like to talk with friends. And we said, we're funny, sort of, a little bit.

He is. Not really. It's mostly our guests that carry. Our guest hard carry the show. We would run out of content within like an hour, if that. I don't think so. Thanks for the glazy. Well, thank you.

But, no, it's, that's really the fundamental question. We don't just have funny guys on. We have guys who we like. We have guys who we think can make not only, you know, six, seven, and can have a spawn a movement on a campus. Oh my gosh. But can seriously lock in. It can be like, let's do something good here.

But not get locked in. No, that's Gabe Beckwith. If you don't understand that, go back to season one. Yep. Episode two, it's called locked in. Just really relistened to the whole season one. Let's just say we've been through a lot. Nate and I have made sacrifices to be here, such as our time.

Absolutely. And it's not easy what you guys do. Exactly. Really, we're the victim. We are the victims. please listen to the show to give us some minor sense of satisfaction from all that. I'm not just talking to the vote. Before we whine more, we got to get the next question out here.

Got to. Victor Fernandez asks. Oh, wonderful. Bulking method? What's the bulk? Are you on the bulk or the cut? I'm actually on the cut. Yeah.

It's fall, though. It is. I know. Fall bulk? As you guys probably know, I'm a little bit of a bigger guy. So, you know, I've been cutting. I'm actually down quite substantial, so I'm really proud of that. I'm surrounded by guys, too, in Boondocks that are on the,

cut and it's really motivating. Yes, sir. But for me, the best thing that was, honestly, just bulking was just like, it sounds bad, but it's just consuming food. Honestly. I think Saga really helps. Dude. He just pounded. Yeah, man. But as a guy for him that like is, I mean, he is in great shape and he's like looking just to put on muscle at the end of the day, it's just you got to just consume as much protein as you can. You got to stay where from liquid protein because at the end of day, that will just kill your kidneys and your liver. If you are to do that, for sure, supplement that with lemon water. Really?

Yeah, lemon water. It actually works miracles because it cleans up your gut. I could go on this whole thing about like your gut is your second brain, I think, or they say it's either second heart, your second brain, but one of those two. But people don't realize, like, if you have bad gut health, it affects your mood, it affects everything in your body. and so yeah man so if you're going to you know be bulking up with like protein shakes and things like that or just taking on so much you've got to put in the lemon water

you got to put that into the rotation it's actually it's not terrible it actually tastes pretty good I mean they have it at every restaurant I mean they always put lemons in the water so yeah it's fantastic that's true that's true I'm actually you can't tell but I'm bulking well you know it's just I'll put you on game don't worry

look at me bro I'm bulking I need your help bro I'm desperately your help. I got you, dude. Don't even worry about it. Storm, what do you mean? You are massive. Oh, yeah. That's right. I'm ginormous. You could look like anything. Yeah, I'm the leader of the six foot seven movement, actually. Yeah, I'm the leader of the one foot tall movement. Yeah. I don't think so. The one inch man. Nome. So they call you around campus. Looking noem. I wish I had a bigger beard. Like, I could actually grow a beard because I would just... And then like a pointy red hat. I would just be a gnome. I would freeze you and put you outside and you could be my garden gnome. The Simpson lawn gnome. Sure. I'll do it. Yeah. Guardian of the Simpson

That's right Something like that Yeah what's that You're like that Duvins schmerts in that one Finnees and Ferb episode When he's stuck outside for months No food

No water No food I think you can stop Or whatever his dad says to him It's something in some fake Scandinavian language That maybe could have gotten canceled If they did that today

It's true What a loss of humor in our society I know we can't have Baljeet anymore Or a poo Or a poo They took a poo out of the absence. Are you serious? Yeah, in like season 32 or something.

All right. Just throw away the whole show, bro. Season 32. If we, if Boys only makes it a season 32, personally come and assassinate us. We should not have anybody that far. That's off the record, of course. Off the record, of course. Allegedly. In Minecraft.

Yeah. All right. Let's lock in. Liam Brennan. This is a great one. We should be talking about this for a hot minute here. If you were to fight in an armed. Army throughout history, which one?

Oh my goodness, okay. Any army. That's good. You had to dial in and go and fight it in. So how specific do we want? Because I could say some random Viking. Yeah. Just be specific in general, be whatever, dude.

Okay, so one of my favorite battles of all time, and maybe you guys can help me out with a little bit of this because I'm not a history guy with like necessarily like specific. Yeah. Like armies. But I think it was either like Australia or. or like northern Egypt, there's like a battle of like emus

or there's like some like... Australia. Australia, yeah, you know what I'm talking about? Are you serious? I've never heard of this. It wasn't two emu armies fighting stories. No, it was like... People fighting emus.

Yes. So you know exactly what I'm talking about. Oh, I thought they were like writing the emus. Unironically, I don't know how you lost that battle. Like how do you have lost? Yeah, they're really scary, but like... Yeah. They had guns, I'm pretty sure.

Like this was like World War... Was this like World War I almost? Yeah, there's like... Wait, wait, wait. During World War I... Australia was just fighting endues? It was in that time period. It was either, like, end of the 1800s or, like, early 1900s. What?

That's what I'm saying. I was like, come on, Australia. What are we even doing nowadays? Like, they had jeeps and machine guns. They didn't kill, and they still? Lightless birds. Yes. Like, those things are just running at them.

Six-foot-tall birds. Yes. And so, like, for me, I had to fight. Were the casualties? They were killing all the crops. Oh. Okay. Yeah.

So they, actually, they just played 40 chess and they just starved the Australians. Oh, my good weakness. So wait, would you want to be fighting in the Australian Army or the EMU Army? Oh, I don't be fighting in the EMU Army. Are you kidding? You're fighting for the EMUs? You're fighting for the EMUs? I'm fighting for the EMUs 100%.

Now, okay, but on the serious note, on a serious note, like, fighting for any army, shout out my World War II, like, United States of Americans, you know, of Americans. Whoa, sorry. But like, shout out to our Americans in the World War II. I had the chance going into my freshman year. of high school, of, sorry, of Hillsdale here. And we, our group, we did the Winston Churchill study abroad, that thing. Actually, shout out, that's how I met Nathan Furness and a lot of students on this campus.

So it was a fun time. Study Winston Churchill, it's awesome. Yeah, it was really cool. And so we learned about how, like, when the Americans came in, oh, my goodness, did they just, like, destroy? Oh, we swept. Yeah, we swept. It was incredible. And, like, I had the chance to go to Normandy and I, like, actually got to see, like, Omaha Beach.

dude that is the only part of France that you need to ever go to you heard of here first yes yes so I will say okay the countryside of France is beautiful but Normandy is just it's gorgeous beautiful beaches actually now on D-day it wasn't great weather has history says but the day I went it was like beautiful sand really nice hot like 80 degree day it was like and then all a sudden like you're on the beach and then you look up and then like you see the whole like memorial

of like the American Memorial, which is by the way, just beautiful. Americans, like our cemeteries and our memorials are gorgeous abroad. But our army then, just like studying it and then especially in American heritage

and like talking like Dr. Miles Smith about it, oh my goodness, like were we just so impressive of an army? So, you know, that's probably number one. I mean... That's a fantastic answer. What a great answer. I mean, also too, American Revolutionaries

and like 1776. Like that's a cool. army two to be a part of. But my absolute pick would be World War II America. Yeah. I mean, having just done the Gettysburg summer session, I can definitively say not the Civil War. That was miserable. Those guys did not have a good time. It is war. Yes, but also... Let's go into summer camp to Gettysburg. It's war, but they're all the, all the bullets they were using were these like mini ball bullets that would like expand inside your body and like crush your bones. And they wouldn't kill you. They just crush your bones. So you had to get amputed.

like most of the time. And the amputation is the one that killed you. And in the amputations, they didn't wash the saws between amputations because they didn't understand germ theory yet. So you would just die. That sounds terrible.

So that's probably my last pick. Although, man, those guys showed some courage. I think, hmm, for my number one pick, probably I want to be fighting with the Mongols. Oh my gosh. On horseback in like Eastern Asia cavalry. Because I think it would be fun to like sweet villages. and just like torch everything.

I'll ask you this one, the Mongols conquered a lot of territory. So where would you want to fight? Because they fought in like China, they fought in like the mountains, they fought in like Afghanistan. Yeah, I want to be in like the mountain battles where they're like on the edge of cliffs

of Tibet, yeah. Oh, wow. Although, you know, that's probably not one we'd win because the Tibetan monks are. Shout in, yeah. Yeah, like shout out. Like they taught Batman all he knows. So, you know, elite pole.

Yeah, you don't mess with the Tibetan monks. No. Yeah. Yeah. Maybe I'd rather be on our side. Oh, that's a great pull, by the way. Yeah, because... Shout out to that.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm still reeling from the Shaolin Mountain. As a Batman, like, fan and read the comics and everything like that, the elite pole. There's a time where he's, where they're like, there's a character that can mind control everyone else

and it can't do Batman, and it's like, why can't I might control you? And he's like, I'm using a technique I learned from the Tibetan monks to avoid... Oh, was Martian Manhunter. Oh, my goodness. I know Bob because Marshall Manhattan was trying to see what was in Batman's mind,

and Batman, like, created a whole image in his mind. And he's like, I got you, Martian Man Hunter. Because I learned this from the Tibetan monks. Yes. Why do they need that? Just real quick question. Yeah, why did the Tibetan monks need that? Because they have achieved enlightenment. Yeah. They can defend themselves from anyone. They're also defending an ancient

catacomb of like libraries. And Docta Strange. Yeah, there's a whole library of like ancient magical artifacts under their monastery. So they have to be able to defend it from like any encroachment. So it's just basically, um, this like the sanctum. Synctum sanctorum. Yeah. But DC, not Marvel.

Yeah. Yeah. I'm a Marvel guy, and I'm not the DC guy. Oh, that's okay. Yeah. Marvel has better movies. Well, we'll see, actually. This new line of DC movies could be really great. That's true.

The new Superman movie this summer was very good. I really liked that one. I liked Fantastic Four. I heard a lot of mixed reviews. I heard some people were like, eh, it was boring. I didn't like, it's a setup. I watched Fantasy Four and my granny called.

You got to buy in to the Fantastic Four. Because everyone's like, eh, it was boring. It was okay. With Marvel, here's the thing. You got to just buy in. You got to just be like, okay, this is going somewhere. game. So I know it is a journey and that was one of the beginnings of this new journey.

Literally first steps. Yes. I thought Galactus, cool. I liked it. I thought it was funny when he like picked up dirt and he was like, hmm. But I think that, I think Pedro Pascal was kind of the weakest part of the movie. Oh, he didn't do it for me. Everyone else there loved the rest of the cast, fun.

But I don't know. He was kind of a weak lead. I liked the Mr. Fantastic from... The 2000 and from whenever Chris Evans was... In 2003 and 2006 or something like that. I know that one, he, whoever that guy is, he looks like Mr. Fantastic. He's fantastic, pun intended.

And Chris Evans is a great human torch. I liked him. I liked the new guy, though. I liked him as well. I like both of them. I think Chris Evans, I honestly just think that the 2003, 2006 were just so much better. I actually liked those movies.

Yeah. People poop on him a lot. But I think that the, I think they're really good. I think that the, I think it's just. Jessica Alba, the Invisible? She's okay. I'm pretty sure. She's nothing special.

I liked Vanessa Kirby more. Okay. And also the whole, no spoilers for Fantastic Four First Steps, but the whole, like, space sequence is really good. Have you seen the movie? Actually, I've only seen the clip, so I haven't seen the full thing, so like, but... It is good, and when they go to space, it gets really good. And then they come back to Earth and it's like, eh, it's okay.

Yeah. You know, Storm, you like Galactus? I actually thought Galactus was one of the weaker parts of the movie, because, like... Well, I went to see at NIMX, and I just was like... like I was the Willem Defoe meme or I was like oh and he was just like giant and big and I thought that was cool I I feel like because from my understanding he doesn't usually have a ship he usually just kind of he just wanders he's so he's supposed to be so massive he supposed to be able to eat a planet like literally with his mouth well I think that they didn't want him to be too so insurmountable so

insurmountably big so they were like okay he just has a ship that like will like drill into the planet's core destroy it and then he consumes everything that that's also a good angle to take because that definitely leans into like the whole like that he is punished. Like, this is a curse. He's cursed with hunger. Yeah, the way they go in there. It definitely leans into that a lot, which I like,

because that's definitely undersung aspect of the comment. I thought the Shala Ball, the female Silver Surfer, was tough. Yeah, that was good. So many people were like, ah, it's DEI, it's feminist. No, because, like, in the comics, I almost said, comments there. In the comments section. Drop it, drop a, yeah, drop a like in the comment to follow. Good little plug.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. In the comics, it, Silver Surfer is not always a dude. No, and actually, the Shala Ball is another character. It's not the same guy. But I think she was tough in that. The Silver Surfer was tough back in the old movies. It's a good character. Silver Shriver's one of my favorite Marvel characters

because it's so cool. Yeah. This guy just rides a surfboard around. And he just shows up and he just whoops. Like, yes. No, he's a cool guy. So I unfortunately have not seen the movie. But that was more one thing I was worried about.

You should probably be about a movie our guest has not seen. No, no, it's okay. But that was one thing. Like Galactus, I just felt like they, and maybe there's a point to it what you guys said but that was my one hold of I was like okay once I see this I'll probably be a little disappointed

because Galactus is supposed to be this like huge person and he's fast out all this power he is pretty dang big all of a sudden he was like smaller than like the skyscrapers and I was like I thought that was a little interesting but then again I haven't seen it so I can't hate on it too much

in IMAX it seemed like he was pretty big but also like they made him just the right size so that they could I won't say how they do, but they could take him down, but they made him big enough that it was like he was kind of unstoppable. Yeah, he is usually like utterly insurmountable in the comic books. It's a problem. That is a problem if you're trying to build a franchise here.

Right. Because then you have to start bringing a bunch of other stuff. Did you see Superman? I did see Superman. That movie slapped. I actually didn't. Oh, my goodness. Now, please know, you two, yeah, but better than Fantastic Four, in my opinion.

Yes, 100%. I would have to know, but I think so. Yeah. I think that the casting for everybody was perfect. I love it. Okay, so I love the fact that like this whole new DC universe that they're doing. I'm so glad that they're moving away from like this really like dark side of DC. Like think about like Henry Cavill.

They're bringing color back. Yes, exactly. And so it's like it's really bright and like that's how it was supposed to be. It reminds me almost of like the old, remember the comic TV show like Justice League on Limitza? Yes. I feel like that's this is going to be a little bit more on par. I feel like like the DC universe that we just saw like a couple years ago was more of like, I wouldn't say it was as far as injustice.

like that DC world but there's just like a lot of things that just weren't I didn't feel like on par like I don't view like yes to a little bit like Zach Schneider's Superman like he is just aura farming yeah but but so is his new guy when he like rises out of that smoke yeah that's pretty cool skyscrapers I was like dude he's him he is him yeah but like then again like we really got to see the

like the torment and like this inner turmoil of like Clark Kent and Superman where it's just like hey I'm trying to do this because I protect people I'm not human and I'm trying my heart is to be human. And I also like the fact that like he hasn't really fully discovered who he was. Yes. And I really do think that like... That was so good.

It was really good. There's a big plot twist that they change Superman story a little bit in the movie and it really works. You're not Cal L? No, he is, but they change a little bit of his origin and you have to watch the movie if you find out, but it's super good. Yes. It is actually really good.

Honestly, like a part of me, like a very small part of me was like maybe the, I'm a I love the fact that they... First off, I love the fact that they did not really give an origin story to Superman. They just got right into the fact

he is this 30-year-old reporter. I love the fact that they just hopped right into it and they didn't do like a whole build-up about him and Lois. We've seen it before. We know what happens. I wish that

that maybe there was a little bit of a different storyline in the sense of like you introduced like the Phantom Zone. I'm assuming that's what that was, was the fandom zone. Like you introduced that so early. The movie was kind of bonkers.

Like there were a lot of characters Which in the trailer I was concerned about Because I was like, oh, this is this looks crowded It wasn't in the movie The movie was fantastic It was the movie was almost flawless But the but they're like They did throw you into a world of gods and monsters

Immediately with just everybody's here There's Green Lantern, there's Hawk Girl, like it's already everything's here Which is one of the things that I was like Okay with the storyline I was like Okay I first off I love the casting overall I don't think there was necessarily a bad casting Like I loved

I loved Lex Luthor. Speaking of ORA farming. Oh my goodness. Lex Luthor, that's the best Lex Luthor I've ever seen in any TV show anything like that that was by far the best casting

and I think he stole the show. How many A's are there in Patrick? One A! Sorry. One A! One A! Oh, you have to see this. Let me tell you, Nate.

This is actually such a great movie. But I mean, I felt like Jimmy Olson. So good. Great casting. Pulls crazy baddies. Oh, I know, dude. And I think that's like, honestly, you got this like small, skinnier, weaker guy that lives in the shadow of not only Clark Kent, but also Superman. And then all of a sudden he's just like, every beautiful woman in the DC universe is just flocking to him.

He's just dude. In the Daily Planet, which is like the news station that Clark Kent and Lois Lane work out, they have a friend Jimmy Olson. And he's like a little dweeb. And then you learn quickly every woman ever. He's kind of a dweeb. He's not like very charismatic, but every woman ever wants him. Is he like, does you have a superpower? Nope.

It's a regular guy. So he's just like me. He's just a great reporter. He's just like me, dude. He's just like you. A bit of a dweeb, but just, but all the ladies want you. Every woman wants you. Yeah, exactly.

And then also too, I was a little, I was, okay, I was initially, I was a little upset that they had Guy Gardner instead. Instead of Hal Jordan. And Hal Jordan, because I was like, oh my goodness, if we're going to go based off like how the canon is, the Justice League, right, that was started was originally. You had your big, you know, we could Batman and Superman, right, whatever. But the Green Lantern that was on there was howlorn. Jordan. But the guy Gardner, he was so funny. I loved his constructs too. Like, like the middle finger to blow up. Yeah, the big giant. His constructs were so creative and was so on par for like Guy Gardner is like this jerk. He really is. And he's got to go big blue.

I was like, hell. Yeah. And also too, the, I don't know his name, but the guy from the rookie, I love the fact that they picked a guy. I love the fact that all these characters were like either SNL. And Mr. Terrific was. Mr. Terrific was. Mr. Terrific was really. peak. He was. But yeah, I like that too. It was SNL or TV show people,

which I was like, you had just totally set like a precedent or you just like set like a whole new line of like, we can do TV shows now because this is what these actors are more comfortable with. Yeah. In one movie. So I was like,

okay, this DC universe could be peak. And I think it like you, they really set themselves up well because like it's rumored that the new Batman that's going to follow in this universe is Batman Brave and the Bold. Yes. Oh my gosh. Yeah.

So I could totally geek out about this. for such a long time, honestly. This could be the longest podcast you have just talking about D.C., but I know that there's probably other questions. And Nate, you haven't seen the movie. And Nate hasn't seen the movie. And also, Nate doesn't know much about D.C. I mean, I can, like, I can keep up. You can keep your own. I can keep up.

But, like, you started talking about, I don't know who Mr. Terrific is. Neither did I. Neither did I till I saw the movie. And then I, like, did some research. He's a much lesser known hero that they kind of gave the spotlight to a little bit. Yes, he did. One part of the movie. And he's really good. He's really good. Funny. And he, yeah, he's like a tech guy.

And he has all this, like, I don't know. He's just super advanced, just, like, technology. He's, like, the good version of Lex Luthor in the sense of, like, just advanced technology and just uses it. And I think he's just a normal dude. I don't, I think he's from, I don't really know too much about storyline. He's just like the fifth or sixth smartest man on the planet is his whole thing. Just.

Just. Yeah. Yeah. He's a casual. Every other day. We actually, there's just one more question. Okay. Storm?

Oh, no. You know who asked the final question? My hopes and dreams could be answered with what you're about to say. It's the man. It's always the man of the hour with the questions. Yes. It is Wyatt Peters. Oh my goodness.

I love Peters. Wyatt last season was notorious for asking in some of the episodes really great. Like, would you rather questions? Okay, great. Made you think. So I'm excited to see what he whips out for this new season. Also, like Nate Furness asked a question in the meantime, but we'll get to that one if we finish up with my eyes. Wyatt asks.

Would you rather be able to control possums or never have adverse effects from alcohol? By adverse, I assume, like, hangover, because technically I think being drunk is being poisoned. That's a good effect. Yeah. But I'm going to count that as that's what you want. Control possums. Control possums. Or never, basically never be hungover, like, throw up or, like, any of that stuff.

Okay, so I'm going to pose a question to you guys. Have you guys recently gotten bit by a tick? No. No, okay. So as a Northern Michigan boy, we have a huge tick epidemic. And supposedly possums eat up to like a thousand ticks a week. Ooh. And so for me, who controlled possums?

You could control the tick population because that's my thing is like, I've got dogs and they're running and I kind of live out not necessarily in the country. I'm not a country boy, but like I live on a big plot of land. And we have this massive like field of long grass. And so like whenever my dogs go out there, I got to do like a tick check. And I will sometimes, I've gotten like maybe two or three ticks this summer. And so it's just kind of annoying. My dog actually did get Lyme disease.

Thank God. Like there's no like, like the protein of Lyme disease, like was inactive or something like that. So she's all okay. Okay, good. But I was like, that question, if I could control possums, then I would just have them patrolling my land. Also, too, like they are disgusting looking creature. But they're kind of cool. Yeah.

Like, they kind of are. Possom, man. I think I have to go with possums too because my answer is a little bit different. It's because I don't really. get hung over that much? Like, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I'm fine the next morning. Yeah. Like, it's, it's, it's, really only, like, a couple times a year that I actually wake up, and I'm, like, royally cooked the next morning. Right. Um, so, it doesn't affect my life

that much, but controlling possums, that would. Especially in Michigan, too. There's a lot. You get, like, a hundred possums just swirling around you, and you could, like, beat anybody in a battle. Imagine the Galloway brings that could be cool. Oh, oh my gosh, we get Send a possum into Galway. Someone did that once last year. We will remain named. But we could send in 14,000 possums. Send in every possum in the Western Hemisphere.

Give or take. Six or seven possums. Oh my gosh. Six or seven possums. Is that how many you could fit? Nope, nope, nope, nope, nope, no, no, no, no, no, no. No, no, yeah. We're not doing that.

But also, too. I was going to say in this studio. Shush. But also what? No, I was just going to say like, also too, like, if you, If you can manage controlling alcohol, it's not a big problem. Like, I don't have that problem. But you know what?

I cannot manage possums. I can't manage possums. I would like to. It would be hilarious to just be like, man, this fundy's kind of walking slow. Possum attack and just throw a possum at them. Just like, they're gone. They're out of my left. They're gone.

They're running away. Like, dude, unless it's one of weird ones who tries to like tame them, dude. Also imagine, sorry, as a finance guy, right? Imagine the LinkedIn post right there. You can be. Controls, possums. I went to your resume. Yes, exactly.

Like, oh, my little end of year update, I can control possums, by the way. And just imagine, like, what you could do. Yeah. It's just in LinkedIn. That's a great resume builder. But like, oh, I have no effect to alcohol. Like, come on.

They're not going to believe you. I mean, they're not going to believe either one of those. But if you can prove it, if you can prove it, then anyone will hire you. Yeah. Controlling possums is useful in any field. Mostly, mostly in fields, actually, yes. Mostly in any field of business.

If you are working at a major finance firm, and it's like, guys, this client is not cooperating. A hundred possums in his house. Possum attack. I don't think that's how that word. Or if you're an insurance. You can be like, you can be like, oh, we're insuring his car or whatever. It's like, you can like wreck his car. You can like commit insurance.

Insurance fraud and boss. Possum insurance fraud. You know what? Never mind. That's the name. There's like 100 possums in my car. car. Like, oh my goodness.

How did this happen? I don't know. I don't know. Possum insurance fraud. All right, Nate, I got to know. What would you want of those two? Possums. Again,

because it's hilarious. I don't even want the possums for like the business opportunity. I just want to like be able to just like summon a posse. There's no scenario where that's, I think you just control them. I don't think you summon them. But like I could be like, like, give him like the whistle and like, pull up. And thousands of them on the world. You're in a day with a girl?

I shoot a DM. You want to see something cool. I'll shoot a deal. Possum waiter. He comes up. Watch this possum do a backflip, Mike. Flip. Flip from a monkey.

Play dead. Oh, wait. Possom. It's not the control monkey power. Oh. Curious Possom. Curious Possum. I'm just going to you curious George.

This is the best episode to come back to. Thank you. I was thinking I was like almost, I was going to say passionate possum, that could be a little weird. Actually, they called me passionate possum in middle school. Oh, really? That was my nickname.

I actually. High and heavy with a positive. Actually? For real? I was like, that's crazy, bro. There's no way. Drop your thoughts in the comments below. Yeah, passionate possum.

Is Storm the passionate possum? Oh my goodness. Do we have a new yodel person? Oh my goodness. Passionate oposs? If you are also a passionate opossom, drop a comment. A pee pee pee. If you're one of the peeves.

Yol about being a pee pee pee. Yes. Passion imp awesome. Yeah, if any yodel features, hashtag passionate posse. Hashtag. That's the new hashtag series, right? Yeah, hashtag serious. I'm overheating over here about passionate posse.

Just take over yodel zoo. Right. I have to ask. Do we have time to hear Nathan Frenness's question? Yes. We got to. We have to. We will have to give like a bit of a quicker answer, but we got time.

That's fine. Give us lore behind having classes at Roughraft. And it's good because it's just you tell a story. Okay, so Nathan knows ball knowledge because I and, am notorious for convincing my professors to go to Rough Draft. So I've convinced Dr. Kiper in my logic and rhetoric class and then twice with Dr. Smith for American Heritage. And I would just like kind of stand up and I was like, okay.

Okay. So first off, in Dr. Kuyper's class, I had to give like one of those like syllogisms of why we should go. Oh. And so like honestly, the only reason why I got an aim participation was because I made an argument about how like I would use like the logic and rhetoric to like kind of be goofy in class. And one of them was like, she's like, she's like, Patrick, you have until next class to convince me via a syllogism why we should go to rough draft. And I said, okay, bet, spent some

time working on it, convinced her. And then we had class walking to and from rough draft. And then Dr. Smith, he's just one of the boys. And so like, I just kind of like leveraged that. And I was just like, hey, this would be kind of cool. And at first we were going to hop all into his truck. And then we realized, okay, he can't fit 20 people in a truck. So we just walked and talked. And we just walked and talked. So I think it's elite move. I think it's a really good way for like at Hillsdale. Like a lot of classes get like really like built up. If you know what I mean, it gets like really tense almost. And it's a really good way for like the professor to be almost viewed more as like a person rather than a teacher. It's just like no like it really does like create a new level of

personal for the class. And so I'm a huge, huge advocate for that. But I'm a. But I. Obviously, it is tough, especially if you get like north of 15 people where you're walking, you got Hillsow Street traffic and the professor, either they're a walking backwards and our sidewalks are not the most straight to say the least, right? There's a lot of. Neither are our students. No, I'm kidding. Yeah, but or they're walking and their back is turned and no one can hear.

So it could, it could take away from learning. But if you, if you like have it set up beforehand, I think it works out. Yeah. Some of my favorite classes are out at the... Amphitheater? Yeah, the amphitheater. Actually, fun little story, and this is a great meme for the guys who were in Dr. Gurkie's Western Heritage class with me. Oh, wonderful.

Yeah. So he would often send out on the canvas, like, minutes before class started, were in the room waiting for him. He's like, pull up outside. We're going outside. He's already there. Tight beat. Not always. Sometimes he's just like, oh, I'll meet you there eventually.

And one time, it would have been like a really beautiful, like two weeks. This was a Tuesday, Thursday class. We had class outside for like three days in a row. It was such a beautiful time. And I can't remember if it was a Thursday or Tuesday. And he just says in, like on the, you know the canvas messages you can get? Right. It just says it's just so beautiful.

And then just that's it. Like that's it. That's everything it says. The whole email. It was an email. Or canvas message. It's just so beautiful. we have to go and it was

no it didn't say anything else like we all knew what he meant yeah it was like me and Alex Joe and Luke Jones were like has he lost his mind it's just so beautiful it's just so beautiful that's what I think when I look at you oh thanks really nice

and you yeah I appreciate that you're all right yeah now now you can look if hey me and the boys the boys are so back

Storm I've given you that look oh it's giving me that look where I remember how beautiful he is, but also the fact that I have to not see him until next week. That's not true. You'll see him all the time. No, we actually don't see each other except for this. Yeah, except for like an hour a week. One hour a week.
