News from April 2024

For this episode we decided to try something different, current affairs! Today I bring Nate some interesting stories in the month of April from around the world and we discuss and give our viewpoints about them. 
Subjects include the TikTok ban, Russia hunting Koni, and robots being abused in the woods.
Nate has moderate brain damage, so his main contribution is a news story from July 2022. He may even still think its 2022 so lets play along so he doesn't feel bad.

This episode was recorded 4/28 if stuff went down in April after that, then thats why we didn't cover it.

Episode Transcript

Shaun (00:00):
Stories for the month of April 2024.
Yes, listeners, we're tryingsomething different today.
We're just going to go over thenews stories from the last
month or so and talk about thema little bit, get our opinions
and see what other facts we canfind out about these news
stories and pass them along toyou, the listener.
And speaking of listeners, Ijust wanted to say that we've
got a couple of people onYouTube that listen to us,

(00:22):
including one of our earlysubscribers, the Wise Mystical
Tree.
He even commented on one of ourepisodes, saying that he was
enjoying the show so far, and wehope you still are Wise
Mystical Tree.
Sorry, I missed your comment.
That was a jerk move on my part.
And with you, james Wormsley.
You commented about how youliked our Elvira series.
Thank you for commenting onthat.
We enjoy your comments on, youknow, telling us you liked it.

(00:42):
Thank you, and sorry we did notreply.
All right, yeah, we dropped theball on that one.
Yeah, we did.
We're still learning.
So thank you for being patientwith us.
We hope you're still listeningand enjoying.
Anyways, nathan, we are goingto be talking about some news
stories this month.
Do you have anythingparticularly you'd like to talk
about, or would you like me tostart?

Nate (00:59):
Why don't?
Because you know, he said we'retalking about news and I was
like, okay, I'll find newsstories.
And I'm like, okay, like Gaza.

Shaun (01:07):
I'm like that's not really funny.
Well, it doesn't necessarilyhave to be funny.
We can turn anything funny,even if it's just a side.

Nate (01:12):
Well, I wouldn't necessarily look at it as funny,
but I was like something thatkind of sparks the interest.

Shaun (01:20):
And that was just I, of the great internet memes of all
time has finally passed and isno longer available in reality.
Anyways, Chicago's famous rathole pothole has been finally
removed from the city.
Remember that pothole looksjust like the shape of a rat,
which is obviously like a ratthat got ran over by a
steamroller.

Nate (01:36):
Right, actually it's funny you mention that I was one of
the stories that pulled aside.
Yes, that's a great story.

Shaun (01:42):
They finally decided that it was structurally unsound and
unsafe for it to be there.
Duh, so they decided to finallyremove it, and a shrine
actually showed up right next toit too.
There's like a little plaquethat somebody made.
That's called the Chicago RatHole.
There's like little Jesuscandles, little stuffed rats,
water bottles all around it,just like some kid got shot
there by the cops.
But this is for the rat hole isthat what happened?

Nate (02:01):
I thought someone just like was an asshole.

Shaun (02:03):
They're like I'm covering this up because, man, I hate
fun oh, um, I'm pretty sure thecity just was like it was you're
probably right, I don't know.

Nate (02:11):
I just the impression I got when the first, the first
time I heard about this ontiktok and they're like they
made it sound like it was justsome like get off my lawn, dude,
who's like?
I don't like these people comeby this hole.
So because apparently it's beenthere for a long time.

Shaun (02:25):
Um, people have gotten married in front of that hole
Apparently yeah, let's see.
City officials removed theconcrete slab, along with other
portions of the sidewalk,because it was damaged and
needed to be replaced, said EricSchrader, a spokesperson for
the Chicago Department ofTransportation.
Apparently, they actually havethe block with the rat in and
and they're debating on what todo with it, if they want to put

(02:46):
it in a museum or something.
Well, they should save it?

Nate (02:49):
I don't know.
Yeah, I guess apply that's sodumb.
I mean, it's fun, though it'sdumb and fun, so I am 100%
behind the rat hole andconservation of it, but at the
same time, come on, it's stupid,by the way the rat hole has
been there for about two years,which is longer than I thought.
for some reason it's actuallyless the article I read.

(03:09):
Now you know I just vaguelywent over it, so I mean, I don't
remember, I thought it waslonger, but I'm sure you're
right, I thought it was a recentthing.

Shaun (03:17):
Nah, this article says it's only been there for uh, oh,
I guess he says more than twodecades, so I guess it could be
anywhere from two decades up to4,000 years, right, yeah, right,
it didn't say anything.
Yeah, take the number 20.
It's a number bigger than that.
It's like, well, there's a lotof them there.
So, yep, the rat hole is gone.
End of an era.
Sad times and also too.

(03:39):
Apparently a lot of people werecomplaining about just people
making the pilgrimage and, youknow, taking pictures in front
of it and laying down next to itand just kind of being in the
way with stuff.

Nate (03:48):
Yeah, that part I do get.
You know I talk about likecranky old man, get off my lawn.
But it would be irritating ifyou live near there and you have
people making the trek to comeand take pictures in front of it
and act like assholes.
Just, I'm sure more than oneperson's, like you know, pissed
at it.
Yeah.

Shaun (04:05):
God, assholes.
Just I'm sure more than oneperson's like you know pissed at
it.
Um, yeah, god, you're right,there are people I bet you I can
fill that whole thing up watchme piss a whole rat's worth oh
100.

Nate (04:12):
That thing has absolutely been full of piss before yep,
somebody has peter that andpuked it.

Shaun (04:17):
They probably put everybody fluid in there over
time.

Nate (04:20):
Uh thanks for putting that .

Shaun (04:22):
Yeah, thanks for putting that image in my head.
You're welcome.
Just a bunch of dudes likecollege dudes, like having to
circle, jerk over the rat hole.
Let's fill this, boys.
We gotta fill it up.
And a less amusing one.
President Biden passed theTikTok ban, so TikTok now has
nine months to sell or get outof the USA.
What they do.
Who knows?

(04:42):
Will they try to sway theelection?
Who knows?
But apparently this isn't a newthing.
I guess the US government didthe same with Grindr a little
while back.
So hmm, there you go, thegovernment will make you sell
your company if they don't likeyou or the country you're from.

Nate (04:55):
That's basically it.
It's the country you're from.
Yeah, let's be real.
Facebook was stealing people'sinformation for forever.

Shaun (05:03):
Oh, yeah, honestly, I couldn't care less if it's China
or America.
They're just stealing my info.
Honestly, I feel like Americawould have more.
America feels like they wouldhave more reason to use it
against me than China, to behonest.
So maybe I'd rather have Chinataking up my info.
Ah, like, take my info please.
Yeah, it's like China's wayover there.
What are they going to do to me?

(05:29):
America, they're right acrossthe street.
America, yeah, yeah, but yeah,I was actually surprised that
they did this once before thegrinder.
So there is some precedent.
Uh, the company is calling thelaw unconstitutional, which,
yeah, does kind of seem sort ofweird, but I don't know.
I mean, just, I feel like ifit's such a security threat,
they should just ban it on allgovernment wi-fis or something
like that right like don't allowpeople, when they're working
for whatever company, to be ontiktok.

Nate (05:48):
I'm sure most people aren't allowed to be on tiktok
anyway while they're working.
Yeah tell you what thoughspeaking of all you're working,
I'd like a little slight segue.
Have you noticed?
Nowadays everyone walks aroundwith their earbuds in like it's
pretty common.
More often than not, people havetheir earbuds in it, especially
at work, like they're they'reworking and they're doing stuff

(06:08):
and they have one earbud in andit's just common practice now
and it blew me away the first.
I saw that.
Not that I care, because,especially since I do that now
because I work, unfortunatelyI'm I'm back out there working
with the public because I gotlaid off my previous job and,
like I do that, I have, I haveone earbud almost the entire
time and I um, I asked, I askedpermission, was like, are we

(06:31):
allowed to do this?
You know, because they're likemeh well, at least with me.

Shaun (06:35):
I kind of need earbuds in because that way I can hear the
text messages that are workrelated a lot easier, because
otherwise I might not hear itcoming from my pocket.
But if it's like blaring in myear, I I'll hear it.
So it's.
I kind of almost have to wearearbuds because sometimes it
gets noisy where I'm working,you know, using heavy equipment
and stuff.

Nate (06:49):
Yeah, that's absolutely fair.
I mean, like with mine it'sjust uh.
Yeah, I do find it.
I'm sure it's annoying whensomeone comes up like hey,
where's this?
And I very obviously touch myear.
I mean, it's not, I'm not eventrying to hide it, oh, me too.

Shaun (07:05):
There's times where people will be having a whole
conversation With me and I'lljust stare at them the entire
time and at the very end I'llput my finger in their mouth,
like wait a minute, and thenpause my earbuds and be like
what and make them say it allagain.
It's kind of a jerk move, butit's fun.

Nate (07:16):
Also with me.
It's like the people I workwith.
They're like blah, blah, blahand I'm like God damn it.
Oh yeah, boop.

Shaun (07:23):
It does make it easier to pretend you're not listening to
people.
Or, if you're a gossipy sort,you can pretend that your
earbuds are on and you can'thear people while you listen in
on their conversations.
Right, yeah, that's the twokind of people.

Nate (07:38):
The people who wear the earbuds so they don't have to
listen to people and audio storyor audiobook or whatever, and
it's like I'm sitting herelistening to a robot talk to me
and I'll send someone's like hey, I got something to say.
I'm like man, do you have tosay to me, but you know, then I
turn.
Yeah, I'm still about trying tobe liked.
I don't want to be, I don'twant to be hated.

Shaun (07:59):
So like oh yeah, blah blah sure, okay yeah, great, I
think people wonder about tiktok, and I kind of wonder too if
tiktok throws all their weightbehind.
Hey don't, uh don't, vote forbiden.

Nate (08:10):
You think that could actually sway the election a
little bit well I don't know ifit's because here's the thing,
trump would do it too.
Like between them, we werelooking at just those two people
because those who are going forit, it's just.

Shaun (08:20):
But the thing is like two weeks ago trump went on record
saying he wants tiktok aroundbecause we need it as a uh
counteract to facebook.
He flip-flopped on the wholetiktok thing well, of course he
did, I mean yeah, apparently,like the tiktok people actually
had a meeting with him like aweek before that and there was
any flip-flopped, so he isactually on uh, pro tiktok side
now, which is fun to bring upbecause it blows people's minds
who hate tiktok this well trumplikes it, why don't you like?

Nate (08:43):
and they'll just like blah , blah they just hate agreeing
with him on anything and I saythey, I'm part of a I I mean I.
I am one of those people whodon't, you can't stand the man.
But yeah, still, there's alittle part of me is like I
agree with him on something?

Shaun (08:56):
damn it yeah, yes, but yeah, broken clocks are right
twice a day.
So there you go, very true, butyeah, uh, I'm, I'm anti tiktok
ban because, yeah, I honestly Iprefer, um, because you know
youtube has their thing, so it'sinstagram, the reels, whatever
I mean.

Nate (09:14):
I just prefer the interface.
I like you.
You push and hold on the leftand to make it go two times
faster.
I just recently discovered thatand I'm like oh, blew me away.

Shaun (09:23):
You know any of that kind of stuff.
I don't use tiktok that oftenother than when people see me
videos to it yeah, I am tiktokilliterate, sadly it's so.

Nate (09:30):
It's so funny now like, yeah, they went from like okay,
one minute to three minutes.
You know some of them are a lotlonger and even now three
minutes.
Like talk about like shortattention spans.
If you push and hold the leftside of the screen it makes it
go two times fast.
So you're like okay, you'retalking too long, you keep on
going through.

Shaun (09:48):
Sometimes the people that do those videos do such dumb
long, dramatic pauses in the waythey read it.

Nate (09:54):
It's so frustrating.

Shaun (09:55):
She opened the book only to see blank.
You're like, oh god.

Nate (10:00):
I hate you so much right now.

Shaun (10:03):
Get to the point, please, right now.
Get to the point.

Nate (10:05):
Please, you gotta get to the point.
You're killing everyone here.

Shaun (10:11):
Everybody always talks about TikTok being a kids app.
Everybody I know uses TikTok isover the age of 40, right?
Most of the kids I know UseSnapchat, I believe, more than
TikTok.

Nate (10:23):
My kids Instagram.

Shaun (10:25):
They primarily use instagram yeah and um, I don't
know.
There's also people I seesaying that uh, tick tock is uh,
feeds like american kids, likeall the stupid stuff, and it
feeds all the chinese kids likethe uh, you know intelligent,
make your kids smart kind offeeds like tick tock is like
socially sabotaging america,they claim, but I mean stuff to

(10:46):
dumb down.

Nate (10:46):
I've heard that too.
I mean I haven't heard that andI mean there, there might be
something behind that is that?

Shaun (10:53):
or is that just the algorithm giving people what
they want, because that's thething america is we kind of just
like stupid stuff.
It's also.

Nate (10:59):
It's also the algorithm.
Yeah, yeah, it's really easy togo.
They're doing this and there,and you know there's there is a
argument to be had that they'redoing that.
Sure, in the end, though, Iknow what my my looking habits
and I know like from what thealgorithm seems to be pretty on
point with me, although I amtrying to expand out just

(11:22):
because I'll get for some.
I stumbled into, stupidly, I, Iclicked on some game of thrones
stuff, and now they're likegame of thrones, game of thrones
.
Oh my god, I'm so done withgame of thrones.
Leave me alone.

Shaun (11:33):
I don't see any more of these that was so 10 years ago
yeah, I don't see this anymore.

Nate (11:37):
Stop it, just stop it.
And yeah, honestly, my favoritething on there is the um, the
tiktok, or is that the redditstories you?
Know the people where they readreddit stories well, it's,
there's those, and it mainly isthe robots.
Like you, have this infiniterunner and the robots reading it
to you oh yeah, oh, my god, Ijust hate those robot voices.

(11:57):
They just bug me, so I don'tlisten to those things I got
kind of used to it, especiallybecause I have that like what I
must do.
The audiobook is a reader, it'sa robot one.
It's just what's reallyfrustrating like okay, part one,
and you listen to part one andyou go to part two.
It's like the part two's upthere and you have to go over
there and like, okay, give methe, send me the last thing I
saw.
Oh, there's a problem, and soyou look for the last thing and

(12:19):
it really pushes your patience.
If you're actually interested inthe story and and the story's
mostly crap anyway, becausethere's no vetting process no,
this is an actual true story.
It's just what someone wrote in.
And then sometimes people aretrying to be all eloquent and
they're using big words.
It's like you're not writing amemoir, you're using Philistine

(12:39):
wrong, damn it.
Yeah, I mean, just come on,talk to a normal person.
And my final gripe is it is notan update if you're just
telling me the second part ofstory.
If you're telling me a storyand then, like you turn around
and take a drink of water andwhen you turn around, start
continuing the same story,you're not updating me, you're
continuing the story youoriginally told me.

(13:01):
Continuation.
Yes, like this new story.
You originally told me thecontinuation.
Yes, like that's a new storyyou gave me.
Like, when we go back to it andwe talk about it, you're not
going to be updating me on thestory, we're just continuing the
conversation of it.

Shaun (13:13):
For an update to this story.
Some people say that, oh,beautiful.
Some people do say that thereare conspiracy people that are
saying that they're trying toforce this sale so like an
alt-right company can buy it andstart pushing Nazi propaganda
to all the youths of America.
Uh yeah.

Nate (13:31):
I mean I hate to say like, oh, that's conspiracy.
No, I can totally see that.

Shaun (13:35):
I could almost see that too, because, yeah, there are a
lot of neo-Nazis with money.
But also there are some peoplewho just say that I america's
slice of the tiktok pie probablyisn't that great.
They might just take their balland go home.
I mean because I'm pretty suretiktok's bigger in, like india
and russia and, you know, china,than it is here.
I mean, granted it's big here,but it's not, you know,
ubiquitous you're right.

Nate (13:55):
I mean it's not ubiquitous , and I mean one of the things
that's frustrating is, um, theydon't know what they're talking
about.
You know, know.
That famous thing recently islike are you from China?
It's like no, I'm from Saigon.
Are you a member of the Chinesegovernment?
Like no, I'm from Saigon.
Have you ever been?
I'm like goddammit, I'm fromSaigon.
You do understand.
There are other countries overin Asia.
That's not China, correct?

Shaun (14:19):
You know, it's just ugh Right there.
Eventually, China would likethem to all be China, oh of
course they would.
Yeah, all the weird littleshifty things that they're doing
down yonder, like, hey, it'slike our property line here goes
to the furthest out islandaccording to this contract, so
let's just start building somemore islands.

Nate (14:36):
What could go wrong?

Shaun (14:37):
Yeah, that's something every country does, though
that's even something people doaround here with property lines
where it's like, hey, theproperty line's the middle of
the river, so they'll like buildout the river so it gives them
more property.

Nate (14:46):
man, sometimes that actually works if you don't get
caught yeah, yeah, yeah, we'lltalk about like again stories
I've listened, I've heard, I'veheard online where those guys
like, yeah, is they try to befriendly with the neighbor?
The neighbor was a jackass andthen he was slowly encroaching
more into federal land andfinally he so he reported him.
Because he was like, fuck, youget him to report you.
So he reported him andbasically the government like,

(15:07):
yeah, you encroached away intothis public property.
We're taking all this.

Shaun (15:12):
Yeah, also, you know, as an update to the TikTok story,
apparently actually the UnitedStates does have the majority of
TikTok users, with 148 million.
That surprises me.
Indonesia is second.
For some reason I thoughtTikTok was bigger in other
countries.
No, I believe it.
Yeah, also, the amount that Iput into this thought in this is
very, very little.
So you know, it's not like I'mcrushed by these numbers.

(15:33):
If only the numbers werecorrect.
Our next news story we're goingto go to the UK, the United
Kingdom, to the Titanic BelfastMuseum, a museum dedicated to
the Titanic and everythingTitanic related.
Well, it had to get closed dueto flooding, which I found was
kind of funny.
Yes, a leak in the roof causedthe building to be flooded and

(15:53):
they had to close it down forrepairs.
So apparently nature really hassomething against all things
Titanic.
Nature hates Titanic Likefucking boat.
I'll prove you nothing'sunsinkable.
Yeah, that might be it.
They might have claimedunsinkable, and Mother Earth has
just really had to stick up herbutt since then.
You name anything Titanic, Iwill take it down.
I'll draw you like one of myFrench girls.

(16:13):
Yeah, apparently too.
So, gary's Mod, do you know?
You know, gary's mod?
Yeah, I've heard I yeah, you'veheard of it, like me, and you
don't know much of it.
The I've heard of it.

Nate (16:26):
There was a guy, the most I know about.
There's a guy when I worked atgamestop.
He constantly talked about thatmod and he actually would brag
about how he got kicked offseveral times because he would
go on there and make it like anuclear bomb and set it off and
piss everyone off, piss everyoneoff on the server as it should
have, and like he got banned infront of me.
I'm like, yeah, fun eat now.

Shaun (16:46):
Watch me make a new account with a vpn and I'll do
it again.
You're like huh, so this iswhat you do all day.

Nate (16:52):
Yes, okay, man, please leave my store yeah, sir, this
is an rbs.

Shaun (16:59):
So, in case you don't know, garry's Mod is a popular
physics sandbox game, that's Ibelieve it's been on Steam for
quite a long time now.
People love it.
You can do this, that, whateverin it.
But apparently now they arepulling all Nintendo-related
assets regarding that gamebecause I guess they got a cease
and desist from Nintendo sayingtake all this stuff down.
However, some people are sayingthat this is actually like a

(17:21):
copyright troll and wasn'tactually Nintendo.
There's people that go aroundlike pretending to be Nintendo
and be just because they thinkit's fun, sort of like the guy
who sets off the bomb in Gary'smod you were just talking about.
So some people are actuallysaying that might not have
actually been Nintendo that toldhim to take it down, because
Gary's mod is free andeverything I know about all
these mods and everything isNintendo can only really tell
you to take it down if you'remaking money off of it.

(17:42):
So they might be right on thefact this isn't actually
Nintendo taking them down, sortof like um, that's uh, what was
it?
The Switch emulator you heardabout recently that, uh, that
dude got sued out of existenceon.
Apparently, nintendo wascompletely fine with him having
that emulator out right up untilhe decided to put out a Patreon
, being like, hey, if you wantextra features, you can throw me
some money and get that,because the instant you take a

(18:04):
dime of money on Nintendo IP,that's when they come after you,
even if it's a penny, becausethat means you're profiting off
of their work.
However, if you're, like youknow, taking Nintendo's work and
making no money off of it, theydon't have a huge leg to stand
on really as long don't have ahuge leg to stand on really as
long as you're also not using tolike, promote your own stuff
right, yeah, I mean, yeah, itmakes sense.

Nate (18:22):
You know, just as much as I hate the idea of them kind of
like what's the word forgatekeeping it, it's also theirs
.
You know the time when I startgetting kind of frustrated when
they're like you can't emulatethis game that you have no
access to legally.
We're not selling it as anemulator, we're not doing
anything with it.
We have this uh ip that's beensitting in our drawer gathering

(18:45):
cobwebs for 25 years, but don'tyou touch it like no, you know,
no, you if you're not, balloon,fight game yeah, if you're not
doing anything with it andyou're then the only way I can
get to access this game is byplaying an emulator or some
other.
Then that's what I'm doing.

Shaun (19:02):
You know, it's yeah it was a nintendo switch emulator,
yuzu that was, uh, hit for 2.4million dollars by nintendo last
year.
But yeah, yuzu, apparently theywere completely fine with yuzu
because they weren't charging adime with it.
But then the the owner decidedto put up a patreon and the
instant that went up n Nintendogot him, which makes sense,
because I used to be into theemulators and stuff, and at

(19:22):
least it used to be.
If you download an emulator,there's usually a text file in
there that very plainly saysthis is free.
We are not charging a dime forthis.
We never will.
If you pay for this, this isnot us.

Nate (19:39):
This is free, free free.

Shaun (19:40):
Hey, we are not profiting anything off this, so leave us
alone, right?
I mean, those text files arevery, very adamant on the fact
like this is free.
Don't ever tell anybody youpaid for this, please, for the
love of God, because again thenNintendo is going to be like hey
, you quote, unquote, profitedoff of us.

Nate (19:52):
Mm-hmm.

Shaun (19:53):
Yeah, so Gary's mod, if you play that bummer, a lot of
nintendo assets are going down.
You can no longer have mariosetting off a bomb and blowing
up, uh, gordon freeman, whateveryou do in that game.
I assume that's what you'redoing in the game.
Yeah, I, I assume.
I mean those sandbox games area lot of fun, I guess, if you
got good imagination which Iusually don't, because I'll play
those sandbox games and just belike, well, I built a house,

(20:15):
now what?

Nate (20:17):
and then other people like building full cities, you know,
with a physics-basedtransportation yeah, I don't
know, man, like I, I like theidea of open sandbox games and
like even sims, like, okay, Ibuilt a house and now I don't
know, I'll put this here youhave a family, great play the
sims 4 on the ps4 or ps5 and itwas fun at first, but then, yeah

(20:40):
, it started turning into achore and it was just like life,
or it's like hey, I want totake my guy to the club, oh wait
, I gotta work in two hours.

Shaun (20:45):
So you know, shower, go to work, come back, tell your
guy to go to sleep or he getsstressed out.
But then I was online and Iguess in the forums it turns out
the fun way to play the sims 5is just, or sims 4 is just turn
on all the cheats and giveyourself infinite money and just
say F it and just do whateveryou want Start building giant
houses and burning them downfull of people or other sick,
sick things you want to do.

Nate (21:06):
That's not girls, though.
Well, they don't burn the housedown, but they have.

Shaun (21:11):
Yeah, that gets old after a while.
I mean, you can only crushsomebody mentally so many times
before it gets boring, it justkeeps crying.
That was one of the first meanthings I ever did to a sim was I
put him in a house all byhimself with just like a little
computer and then I deleted allthe doors and windows and no
bathroom or nothing.
He just sat around and crieduntil the microwave exploded and
killed him, burned him to deathwith a suicide couldn't get

(21:33):
into the building to get him.
Was it suicide?
Uh, I think I'd like to thinkit was like.
I don't know why.
I'd like to think that, but Ineeded an escape.
Do you got a new story you wantto bring up yet?
Or do you want me to keep going, Nate, I mean, you're doing
great.
That's your way of saying Idon't have one right.

Nate (21:50):
No, here's the thing I did , but my computer crashed and I
lost them all.

Shaun (21:54):
We take you back to Africa 2012.
Remember back then, nate Wayback when?
Remember Kony 2012?
That whole thing, the internetsensation.
Hey, let's go get that Africanwarlord who's like trafficking
people and murdering villagesand this and that Murdering
villages what?
Joseph Kony the African warlord?
Yeah, okay, sorry, yeah, sorry.

(22:15):
Focus on the story, not on yourwork.
Damn it, I'm trying.

Nate (22:18):
I'm not working on, I'm looking at news stories.
I typed like I found them onReddit and I typed in news
stories and I was like scrolling, like come on, nathan, get
something, let's find a story.
And then you were like, oh,this guy's murdering people.
I'm like, ah, I don't know.

Shaun (22:41):
Uh, well, anyways, we got to go get that dude.
And then, uh, later, the guywho made the documentary wound
up jacking in San Diego.
But we're not talking about him, we're talking about Coney.
Well, uh, obama decided, hey,we're going to go hunt that dude
down and get him.
And then Trump eventually waslike, nah, that's too much time
and effort, we as Coney stuff,probably more murdering and
raping.
And now, because they just kindof want to show up, america,

(23:02):
the Kremlin has announced thatthey are sending the Wagner
Group off to Africa to hunt forJoseph Coney, to do what America
could not and show how they aresuperior to us.
Will they catch him?
Who knows?
Will they actually try?
Who knows?
Yeah, who knows?
Will the Wagner Group just belike screw this Russian, russian
military, we're just going toretire down here and disappear?
Because that's probably what Iwould do if I was in the Russian
military, because that placesounds awful.
So apparently they're going tobe searching 33,000 square miles

(23:25):
, an area larger in SouthCarolina, where they think he is
.

Nate (23:29):
South Carolina.
I doubt that.

Shaun (23:30):
Oh, you know area the size of South Carolina.

Nate (23:33):
I did, oh you know, trying to find somebody like that in a
huge area like I don't know man, and particularly where
everyone hates us Well, not justus, hates them, most likely too
.
I mean because these guys getin so much power and they make
everyone think that they're thegood guys, which doesn't make
any sense to me.
And I don't know, maybe it'salso just my skeptical mind.

(23:56):
I can't see me freneticallyfollowing anybody.

Shaun (24:00):
According to the sources say that the Wagner group
attacked a village of Yemenwhere Kony had a camp within 10
miles of, but they still hadn'tfound him because he moved on
since then.

Nate (24:09):
Yeah, but then again also.

Shaun (24:11):
I mean, this could be one of those things where the
Wagner group's down there justdoing their thing and they're
just like I don't know, just lieand send back a report.
We can make AI design somestuff for us.
I mean, I have a.
They do suspect he might be inthe Sudan now, though.
So there you go, joseph Kony.
Your days might be up.
Putin might be coming for you,blah, blah, blah.
Oh, also too, I think the USactually has a bounty out on for

(24:34):
like $5 dollars, so if russiacaptures him, we might have to
give him five million bucks forit.
Oh really, yeah, that'd be.
That would honestly be kind offunny.
It'd be kind of funny.
That would be hey, you know, doall those things.
Putin would be like no, youdeliver to me in person and you
know dollar bills or somethinglike that, maybe like rolling
around on the ground in themoney like breaking bad with the

(24:57):
trying to lay on the big giantblock of money yeah, I never saw
that got that far in BreakingBad.
I mean two seasons in and thengot sidetracked.

Nate (25:05):
Oklahoma fisherman who thought Fred was trying to feed
him to Bigfoot, convicted ofmurder did he murder Bigfoot or
the dude trying to feed him toBigfoot?
So I actually looked this up.
They were out there.
What are they calling it?
Noodling, have you?

Shaun (25:18):
heard of noodling.
Yeah, that's where you stickyour hand in like goo and then
you just jam it down in thewater and wait for a crawfish to
deep throat, your arm.
Yeah, I realize what washappening Catfish.

Nate (25:27):
And just like Frodo, not Frodo Gollum way back in the day
he was fishing with his buddybutatch looking thing and he
swore that he's like my buddy'strying to feed me a sasquatch
and he choked and he strangledhim to death and then he got
yeah, and he got, he gotconvicted so what's the
over-under on crystal meth beinginvolved in this there?

(25:50):
is a high possibility very highpossibility.
Oh, here we go, here we go thepaper reported that the forensic
psychologist testified thatsanders was suffering.
From now, prepare yourselfeverybody you know, put their,
hold their hats on their headand make sure they're getting
next to your facing couch.
Methamphetamine inducedpsychosis and believed he was

(26:13):
defending himself.
What did you nail that one onthe head?
Yeah, and he's getting, I mean,I don't know Something like
that too.
They were friends, but he gotlife without parole and it's
like I doubt he's going to do itagain, Probably not I mean, it

(26:34):
was methamphetamine-inducedpsychosis.

Shaun (26:36):
This is true, yeah, I'm just out there there like
noodling for catfish.
All of a sudden you think yousee the bigfoot and your first
thought isn't like hey, look,bigfoot, that's neat.
It's like your first thought isoh my god, there's bigfoot
there.
My buddy's obviously trying tofeed me to bigfoot.
Apparently there's.
There's a little bit of a leapin uh logic there.

Nate (26:54):
I feel like and this guy was like the his picture.
I read uh, jimmy truly enjoyedeverything and everything
outdoors.
Jimmy's the guy who's killed.
He's like he loved the fishhunt, game, ride four-wheelers
and, most of all, drink his beeron a big bonfire.
Jimmy never met a stranger,would give anyone the shirt off
his back and also apparentlysuspected of selling his friends

(27:14):
to sasquatches.

Shaun (27:16):
Huh this also, uh, postulates that sasquatches are
actually meat eaters andpredators, I believe so.
Hmm, that kind of does a turnon Harry and the Hendersons.

Nate (27:26):
Well, that, or you know sasquatches are big into sex
rings.
Oh yeah, I mean yeah.

Shaun (27:33):
We like to collect full-grown men and use them as
fleshlights.
Dave, you're trying to feed meto a Bigfoot Now?
Now listen, Cletus, I'm nottrying to feed you to him.
He wants you for sexual reasons.
Now just go with the Bigfoot,Be all right.

Nate (27:47):
I mean he might want to toss yourself, but that's
neither here nor there.
I'm not going to judge him forhis sexual proclivities Now here
is a big old jar of Vaseline.

Shaun (27:57):
I Now.
Here is a big old jar ofVaseline.

Nate (27:59):
I might just be a humble country lawyer, but I believe he
was the HRS son.

Shaun (28:04):
I might be a humble country proctologist, but I do
not think you can accommodatethat man, that Bigfoot young man
.
He prefers it if you don't wipefirst.
Yeah, oh yeah.
So you think Bigfoots get a lotof dingleberries if they don't
wipe properly?
I mean surely?

Nate (28:21):
they do.
I mean otherwise they have tohave like a bamboo butt and of
all the Bigfoots I've seen, youknow, drawing a sketch or
whatever.
I've never seen one have abamboo butt.

Shaun (28:31):
Yeah, big old, inflamed, unless maybe they had like
chiggers or something bad likethat, right, so yeah.
So if Bigfoots were real, we'dprobably be having like rescue
videos of people like going outin the woods and like trimming
the dingleberries off of theirbutts so they could poop again,
and stuff like that.
We tranquilized this Bigfoot andshaved its butt and then
returned it to its family with atag attached, that grooming

(28:52):
practice like pick it out ofdingleberries, yeah, good times.
So the guy's in prison.
Huh, yep, and that was it theend.
Yep, gonna have a long time tosit there and be like, well,
that sucked, killed my buddy, orI mean, maybe he's still in his
meth-induced psychosis and hethinks it really happened.

Nate (29:09):
Which makes it really interesting for his cellmate.
He is still just like all in,like no, he made a deal, he, I
know what I saw that.

Shaun (29:16):
Bigfoot was putting a bib on while my buddy was counting
money Bigfoot money.

Nate (29:20):
I saw him point my direction and shift the hand of
Bigfoot.
I know he sold me to that thing.

Shaun (29:27):
I know a gentleman's agreement when I see one Right.
It reminded me of when I soldmy daughter off to that
traveling salesman.
Do you have any other storiesat the moment, Nathan?

Nate (29:35):
Well, yeah, I have one other one, but I don't know it's
stories at the moment.
Nathan, well, yeah, I had oneother one, but I don't know,
it's kind of dumb, I mean, thatwas not.
The other one was like theheight that whatever vampire
facials are not are at anunlicensed spa, infected three
people with hiv, cdc fines, like, of course, because heard about
that.
Where, where would you licensea vampire facial spa?
Like what, is that evensomething that would anybody

(29:58):
would, of any kind of likegovernment thing?
Like oh yeah, we have theseapplications for vampire facials
with unlabeled tubes of blood,just like jamming people's faces
.
What could go wrong?

Shaun (30:10):
in theory, you're using your own blood for the vampire
facials, so you know.
But if you don't clean theequipment or use fresh needles
because that's what it was, Ithink, is they're reusing
needles on people, because doyou know what a vampire facial
is?

Nate (30:22):
uh.

Shaun (30:22):
So yeah, you're just sticking blood your face yeah,
well, it's your own blood and Ithink what it is too, is they
like poke little holes in yourface too.

Nate (30:29):
So like the blood like seeps into your face better and
like nourishes your skin yeah,the blood's drawn from under
their arm and the platelets areseparated out and applied to the
patient's face usingmicroneedles.

Shaun (30:40):
Yeah, microneedling.

Nate (30:42):
Kim Kardashian did it.

Shaun (30:43):
Yep, so does Henry Zebrowski's wife from last
podcast on the left.
See, I learned about this.
Oh, wow, yep, let's see Vampirefacial licensing.
Oh, apparently, this is like awhole program thing that you can
go to.
It's like vampire facialcom.
The training seminar isinvented by Charles Runnels MD.

(31:05):
It's a whole like school you goto, like an online thing.
It's a whole thing.
Yeah yeah, google vampirefacial licensing.
And all of a sudden you'll justbe like, well, here's how to
get your trademarks in andhere's how to enroll in the
workshops.
Uh, and you'll just be like.

Nate (31:20):
well, here's how to get your trademarks in and here's
how to enroll in the workshops.
Uh-huh, and licensing throughwho the vampire facial people.

Shaun (31:25):
I'm pretty sure they license themselves and I've it's
kind of like how those peoplewho sell their friends to
Bigfoot license themselves.

Nate (31:33):
It's, you know, self-licensing and it's looked
at up like vampire facial withGwyneth Paltrow and she's like
some ladies, like stabbing herthing in her face.

Shaun (31:41):
Yeah right, this seems like something out of a horror
movie Like nah, that can't bereal.
It seems like something fromlike the 70s.
This is how we stay young.
I did two out of two.
There you go.
I only did two.
I thought I did three already.
Oh, did you do three ready?

(32:02):
Oh, did you three?
Okay, no, probably.
But now so Boston Dynamicsintroduced their new uh version
of the Atlas robot, and they didit with what's kind of a creepy
video.
Did you watch that video?
Yet that?
I sent you, nate, the YouTubevideo for the uh new Boston
Dynamic robot.
I remember you sent it to me.
Hold on, I'll send it to youagain.
So, for those of you listeningin, you should go take a look at
this video real quick.
Uh, all you got to do is searchon YouTube all new Atlas Boston
Dynamics.
It was a video that came out 11days ago, so that would be the

(32:26):
17th of April, because I've seenthis before.
They demonstrate how it doescertain things.
And when you watch this video,though, for you at home and you,
nathan, I want you to think ofthis as right after you just
shot this thing with a plasmacannon and you're like, yes, the
nightmare is over, this robotis finally dead and then just

(32:47):
see what it does, because it'skind of amusing sort of.

Nate (32:51):
Ooh yeah, that's a lot sleeker than the ones I've seen
before.

Shaun (33:00):
Like the menacing turner, like rotate his body 180
degrees and just come stormingat you it can attack you from
any direction.

Nate (33:03):
Nate oh 100.
Like you know, this isabsolutely one of those things
where you're playing a videogame.

Shaun (33:06):
You come in the room and it's like, oh, jesus, yeah yeah,
that's all I could think aboutwhen I was uh watch that video.
It was like that's totally likesomething from an old, like
horror movie from like the 80s,where you know sci-fi horror
movie, where you think you, yousmash a robot with a hammer,
knock it to the ground.
You're like finally it's downall of a sudden, like those legs
go all weird and props itselfup and spins around like must

(33:28):
destroy, exterminate head turnsoh my god uh but that the thing
I it kind of made me chuckleabout that video.
Well, not so much that video,but it led me to another video
which I'm going to send you,nathan and uh, for you at home.
It's the Limx L-I-M-X DynamicsBipedal Robot and it's just a

(33:55):
short video, but I like the facttoo, on the most replayed
section you get to watch a mantake a robot out into the woods
and beat it senselessly.
And it's kind of weird to watchbecause on one hand, you are
well aware of the fact that it'slike a dude beating on a
toaster.
On the other hand, the way therobot reacts kind of makes you
feel a little bit bad for it,kind of ish sort of, because at
one point I'll send you the linknow Like he's beating, even

(34:20):
though it's trying to just likebalance itself, it looks kind of
like it's trying to get awayand runs away and he runs over
there and grabs it by a handleand comes dragging it back and
it's like kicking and screamingand it's just like ahhh, and he
starts beating on it more.
To see what I'm talking about,go in, uh, one minute and thirty
seconds, 30 seconds, into thevideo, where you'll see out in
the woods, a kindly old man justbeating on a robot, and this is

(34:40):
one of those things that itlooks just like a scene out of
the animatrix, where there'd belike robots talking to you.
It'd be like this this is whywe must exterminate humans.
Look what he did to ourchildren.

Nate (34:51):
I was just thinking that like animatrix, because there's
a scene that makes it reallydisturbing, with this lady's
walking around and this crowdstarts beating on her, ripping
her clothes off.
She's screaming no help me.
And then they hit her with abaseball bat or a sledgehammer.
It turns out to be like a robotand she's like oh, like nope,
like well, no wonder they killedus all, but they turned us to
batteries.

Shaun (35:08):
Are you watching this video, nate?
Yeah, yeah, did you scrollhalfway through to watch the
dude just beating on the poorthing?
Well, I saw him hit it thestick.

Nate (35:15):
Okay, it's going, it's going going.
Here it comes big a dick tryingto kick his legs out from under
him grabbing it.

Shaun (35:22):
It just feels like him, grabbing like a child by the ear
and dragging him along,grabbing by the arm.
Be like get back here.
You ever see the?
Um slightly reminiscent of mychildhood?

Nate (35:29):
I guess you ever see the ones where they edited it, where
they actually made it look likethe robot took a gun and
started shooting at him.

Shaun (35:36):
Oh yeah, the corridor crew guys did that which for a
while, was being passed off asbeing legitimate footage, and
people were buying it yeah, ofcourse I mean even I, for for a
split second I'm like see, thisis what happens.

Nate (35:47):
Then the little voice man's like no, it's not happened
.
So I I took 30 seconds togoogle it, like oh yeah, it's
not.
Yeah, well, even can youimagine like you're trying to
run, you're running away andsomeone sends after you and it's
just constantly going,especially with solar power or
something.
It just it won't stop.
Like you run and stop whenyou're trying to rest and you're

(36:08):
breathing hard and all of asudden you're.

Shaun (36:10):
I thought you were going to say could you imagine being
the guy dude of Boston Dynamicswhose robot goes crazy, grabs a
gun and murders a bunch ofpeople?
Looking at that footage and belike, yeah, I'm gonna release
that online Right?
Like, no, you fool.
No, also, too, that little, uh,limex walker does kind of look
like a little baby.
Imperial walker too, which iskind of cute.
It does, doesn't it?

(36:30):
It really does ATSD, yep, andalso too, um, bipedal movement's
.
It's gotten really good onthose robots, because remember
when it was like really hard todo that this thing's actually
pretty impressive all thingsconsidered.
Also, apparently, to uh justwalking on two legs is pretty
hard for any living creature, sowhat we do is a minor miracle
in ways.

Nate (36:47):
Yeah, they're still like.
I've read, they still are likenot 100% sure how you know,
humans walk.

Shaun (36:53):
Yeah, we kind of have a good idea.
But the same tone is like Ehhh,maybe we do it on faith, nathan
, faith alone.

Nate (36:59):
You gotta have faith to walk.

Shaun (37:02):
So social media has been rather disturbed lately by the
South Dakota's governors.
What is her name?
Kristi Noem.
She put out a book her memoirswhere she talks about how she
had a farm dog that just wasn'ttrainable so she took it out
back and had to shoot it, andthen she also drove a goat of
hers out back and had to shootit and failed and had to shoot

(37:22):
it again while it was suffering.
This, of course, is freakingout many, many people, as it
should.
That's serial killer stuff, yeah, although the sad thing is this
happens on farms way more thananybody would ever want to admit
the whole hey, this animal'sbeing pained in the ass, just
shoot it, kind of thing.
But uh, yeah, a lot ofrepublicans are actually turning
against her because this feltlike it was going to be like one
of her she was trying to dolike the marjorie taylor green

(37:44):
thing of being like look howbadass I am.
I'm so, you know, rural andbucolic.
I can murder animals withoutfeeling bad.
Like it's kind of like, um, youknow, going sideways on her,
though yeah, and as it should.

Nate (37:57):
as you know, they mean there's politics in this
politics and there's politicsand like, if you are a
politician, you have to know howto play your audience.
And I understand, like, oh, myaudience they're rural and
they're right.
They're going to be like yeah,yeah, like I, I'm going to get
them behind me.

Shaun (38:15):
I'm going to.
Yeah girl, she's not afraid todo what needs to be done, and
it's like you, you forgot thatthat is not happy memories.

Nate (38:23):
Like no one is yeah, no one in that area or that realm
of like population is like,happily standing upon the
rooftop going I remember when Ishot my dog.

Shaun (38:34):
No one's doing that yeah, well, there's a very small
percentage, but those are thesame people who probably heard
this story is like, yes, I'mgonna vote for her, but yeah
it's.
It's a very small percentage tothink that that's a cool thing
I mean again like it's such.

Nate (38:46):
But politics is, you know, trying to be the most popular
person and yeah, you'reabsolutely right.
There's absolutely that sub,sub genre of people that are
like, oh, I can't, I just, youknow, can't bust it.
Unless I remember thinking ofmy dog getting blown off, it's
like, well, you're one in athousand or hopefully more than
that, one in a million.

(39:06):
Yeah, like that's.
You know, she got your vote butno one else's.

Shaun (39:11):
Also, the dog was only 14 months old that you put down.
Seems kind of early to give upon a dog, to be honest.

Nate (39:16):
Yeah 14 months old.

Shaun (39:17):
Yeah, that's, that's yeah .
Yeah, that sounds more like shewas bad at raising the dog than
anything, but yeah, that turnedout to backfire on her, so
ha-ha, take that.
Apparently it's going to be.
It was an excerpt from her newmemoir no Going Back, which was
to be released on May 7th.
That's actually pretty succincttitling there.
There's no going back for hereither now.

Nate (39:36):
No.

Shaun (39:37):
I think yeah, no and again that was an excerpt that
was released.

Nate (39:40):
She didn't fully release the thing.

Shaun (39:42):
And that also means that I don't know.
Does that mean that she was theone that picked out that
excerpt from the book and belike yes, I want this part to be
released before everything else?
Yeah, that'll get peopletalking.
Oh no, I guess it was.
She did post it on social media, got six million views in one
day, yeah, but it's kind of nicewhen people are dumb enough to
out themselves like that.
So at least you can you know,quote unquote put them on a list

(40:02):
.
Oh no, not the list, the list.
I actually do have a storyabout the list sort of.
The story came out Apparently,china has 8.3 million people who
are, like, massively in debtand they're deciding to
basically publicly shame them inways until they pay back their
debts, including one thing Iguess they get a custom ringtone

(40:24):
.
So if you ever call them up, youget a ringtone basically being
like this dude's a deadbeat, hedoesn't pay his bills.
You should probably tell him tostart paying his bills.
You don't want to be associatedwith a deadbeat, do you that
kind of stuff as a ringtone,which here in America we have?
No shame, people would probablytry to ruin their credit just
so they could get that ringtone.
I'm not even kidding.
Couldn't you see people do thatand be like dude?

(40:45):
I just got to run up another$10,000 in debt.
I'm going to get that customringtone and rap myself a rap
song about it or something,because, eh, public shaming
doesn't work in America quite aswell as other places, because a
lot of us don't have any shameA lot of us don't have any shame
.
But also things too, if you aretoo in debt is they will also
like ban you from going onexpensive vacations or ban you

(41:05):
from taking out any loans, evenbad ones.
It'll screw you over.
What was the other thing thatthey'd do?
It all felt like kind ofpunishment that the poor people
who had bad credit wouldn'treally care about.
Oh yeah, like you can't fly onairlines anymore.
It's like, eh, most people Iknow who are really broke and in
a lot of debt, they probablydon't fly on a lot of airlines.
Yeah, that's exactly right,these are people who are scared

(41:26):
to go to Seattle because youknow it's the big city where
people get murdered all the time.

Nate (41:30):
I mean, I still remember when I was working at GameStop
in Shelbyville.
This lady's like I don't wantto go.
Last time I went to louisvilleI almost got killed, it's like
because of the traffic.
It's like, oh my god, lady, canyou please take it crazy

(41:52):
somewhere else?

Shaun (41:53):
right, and I drove by a car accident that happened three
hours earlier that could havebeen me.

Nate (41:58):
I mean, I get it like well there, there are absolutely
places in louisville that aresuper scary, like people get
shot every day.
It's really bad, like.
But here's also the thing thosepeople most likely unless
you're there for like clearlythey're by drugs, you're going
downtown for like a nefariousreason.
A lot of times.
If you're, uh, you know,particularly a white person
going to that area, that area,they a lot of times will leave

(42:20):
you alone because, yeah, theydon't want to have attention
brought to them right, you knowthey're like, okay, that person
is either, you know, it's mostlikely like social service,
because my wife used, you know,she used to be cps and she was
young, dumb and she would godowntown and she'd just be like
at 2 am walking through thestreets of you know, so the they
call the west end, uh oflouisville, where she's down

(42:42):
there, and like they left heralone because they knew if they
messed with this, you know, cutelittle white girl, white girl
coming through there, like thatthat's, that's a surefire way to
get a like a shit ton of policein the area.
So, and plus, they know she'sdoing her job, she's not?
Yeah, you know she's just if itwas areas that have super high

(43:03):
crime.

Shaun (43:03):
A lot of times it's like uh, criminals on criminal action
criminals.
Very rarely is it like justsome random, I'm just gonna pop
out my door and just murder somestranger for no reason on the
flip side.

Nate (43:14):
Like there was a rural person, like they went out there
to get their kids and they werekilled.
You know, it is a significantlymore dangerous to go out in the
backwoods with a bunch of, likeyou know, poor white people
than it is to go into more urbanareas.

Shaun (43:29):
Just chuck your body in the septic tank and forget about
it.

Nate (43:31):
Yeah, I mean and it's like I don't know how they can get
away with it.
Yeah, it's not like they didn'ttell anybody they were coming.
You know this person came toyour house and now they're not
anywhere.
It's a good chance.
And you're missing, like theyleft.
So we all know what happenedand of course they got arrested.

(43:52):
They lost their kid, of coursethey did, and that's the whole
reason why that guy was downthere and I don't even think
they were doing a check.
I don't think they'renecessarily taking their kid for
the story I'm thinking of, it'sjust madness the hikers go
missing on the Appalachia Trail.

Shaun (44:05):
I hear too.
Yeah, I mean it's Ding, ding,ding, ding, ding, ding ding,
exactly.
So other things you can't do inChina if you've got way too
much debt is you cannot bookvacations or expensive hotels,
buy properties, access higherlevels of insurance coverage or
use toll roads or bullet trainsor planes.
None of these things woulddissuade anybody from like

(44:26):
Kansas who's high in debt fromracking up more debts, kind of
like the social credit score.
People in America would just betanking it to see how low they
could get it.
So there we are Done with China.
China, if China, if you rack upenough debt, you get rewarded
with a free ringtone.
Maybe we'll try to find thatringtone someday if we can see
what it sounds like.
I mean, we won't be able tounderstand it because it's in

(44:47):
Chinese, but you know it'd befun if it had a catchy little
beat going on in the backgroundof it.
What's your next story, nate?

Nate (45:01):
Okay, I'm desperately like click, click, click.
Come on, give something I couldwork with.
Uh, I'll let on this, let's seeif you work with it.

Jury finds winston man guiltysexual assault 20 months.

Shaun (45:49):
okay, that's, let's pass that one I should read the whole
thing before I start reading it.

Nate (45:55):
Oh, we know you'll never do that yeah, because a lot of
times I get a lot ofentertainment news stuff like
that in my feed A lot of times.
I don't do world news thatoften, just because, like I
don't know, that's just what Ido.
You said it had to be worldnews or any news.
Sorry, just news.
It's not like you know.
Hey, wolverine, and you've seenthe new trailer you sent it to

(46:18):

Shaun (46:20):
It's very good.
Fallout 4 got, or Fallout theTV series got released.
And because of that, what wasit?
In Europe, sales of the Fallout4 game went up 6,500% right
after the debut of that series.
Great series too, if youhaven't watched it.

Nate (46:34):
Check it out.
I haven't been watching it.
I saw the first one, a littlebit of the second episode, a
little bit of the second episodeand I downloaded Fallout 4 to
the PS4 because of the Fallout.
That is my favorite.
I know that's actually not apopular opinion.
New Vegas, everyone's like, ohno, new Vegas is the best and
yeah.

Shaun (46:51):
I hate New Vegas.
Nowadays actually it's weird.
Really.
People have kind of flipped onthat.
Yeah, now most people say 3 isthe best, and then there's a lot
of people who actually say 4 isthe best.
2 now, but yeah, you're right,4 when it first came out,
everybody seemed to hate it.
Now everybody seems to love it.

Nate (47:04):
Fallout 3?

Shaun (47:05):
yeah, I'm on some Fallout groups on like Facebook and
stuff.
It's kind of like people hateon Fallout New Vegas more than
Fallout 3, believe it or not,which I like Fallout New Vegas
better, but I don't know.
But that was also.
I think it's easier to play abad guy in New Vegas.
Oh, you know what it's easierto do awful things to people.

Nate (47:22):
I'm an idiot.
I do like Fallout 3 more.
I've played Fallout 4 for aminute and I haven't played that
far.
I don't know why I was thinkingFallout 3 was Fallout 4.
That was my own stupid dumbhead.
Fallout 3 is definitely thebest.

Shaun (47:33):
Big dumb, stupid dumb head.

Nate (47:34):
Yeah, wait, did I say the wrong thing?
Sure enough.
Yeah, Fallout 4, I barelyplayed it, but Fallout 3, I
played the shit out of that game.
You just barely played Fallout4, huh, yep, I got on there for
a little bit and just played itfor it and then, just like I
don't know, I didn't get veryfar Another settlement needs
your help.
Yeah, how about this Cicadas?

(47:55):
They're coming back and cicadasare making so much noise that
residents are calling the policein South Carolina.
What are they supposed to do?
Does God just start randomlyshooting in the distance?

Shaun (48:06):
Yeah, actually that would probably happen or just be.

Nate (48:10):
It's starting at some point.
It hasn't happened around hereyet.

Shaun (48:15):
Yeah, apparently this year is really bad too.
From what I heard, it's like adouble cicada hatching, Because
normally it's like an overlap.

Nate (48:24):
The 13 year and the 17 year are supposed to be coming
out at the same time.

Shaun (48:28):
If you're a listener who doesn't know what a cicada is.
They're from the Midwest ofAmerica and apparently they come
out from under the ground everyseven years and they scream in
trees 13.
13?
Okay?

Nate (48:42):
Well, there 13.
Okay, well, there's two broods.
There's brood looks like 11 andbrood 13.
Uh, and there's other broods aswell, but like these are the
two, like one of them staysunderground for 13 years and the
other one stays underground for17 years, and just it just all
happened mathematically, thisyear they're both coming out my
god.

Shaun (48:54):
Cicadas are like the original vault dwellers.
They come out after x amount ofyears and explore the world,
scream and die.

Nate (49:00):
Last time this happened I can't remember which was 13 or
17, but last time one of thesethings I mean oh my God, dude,
it was just so loud.
Right here I was going to mydad's house, it was a cloud of
cicadas, I mean, and they'reharmless, they look evil and
they look nasty.
The worst they can do is runinto your head when they're

(49:24):
flying and kind of, yeah, that's, that really is the worst they
could do is like you're, you'restrolling along and they like
they might bean you and that'snot it whap, what was that?

Shaun (49:27):
there's one laying on the ground, just like yeah, so yeah
, I mean, they're supposed tocome out here around this area
and every once in a while yousee a story about people be like
you can eat these too, if youwant, which I mean technically
you can eat anything, I guess ohyeah, look, I'm looking at this
map and I don't I mean, maybenot, at least not around here
because I'm looking at thebroods and the two broods
they're talking about.

Nate (49:44):
They're more to the east of us.
Oh, there still might be alittle bit of blue pull up like.
However, but yeah, it lookslike my area is not gonna be the
worst hit by the cicadas, whichis good, because I hate cicadas
.
Do you just?

Shaun (49:56):
well, they're just.
They're just loud and annoying.
They they remind me of children.
They're loud and obnoxious.

Nate (50:03):
Yeah, they also remind me of heat.
You know, whenever I hear oneof them going off, it's usually
what's hot.
So yeah, when I hear them,immediately my brain goes to
like hot and humid.

whole Camp Lejeune thing.
