Shaun (00:00):
News for the month of May in the year 2024, the year of
our Lord Jesus Christ, ourSavior.
So this is gonna be our secondepisode on our monthly news
stuff, because it was kind offun doing it the last time Gonna
talk about some news, learnsome things, and we're gonna do
it again.
So do you want to start outwith news stories, nate, or
would you like me to?
I actually have news storiesthis time.

Nate (00:21):
You know, I still haven't listened to the entire podcast.
The last time I startedlistening to it, I'm like, oh, I
can't do this, because I waslike, I mean, I know it's
probably dumb.
I was like the fact that Ididn't come in with anything, I
was embarrassed.
All right, let's start withNorth Korea.
Maybe.
Hopefully, we don't have thesame thing I have.
So North Korea's trash rainsinto South Korea balloon by

(00:41):
balloon.
So apparently North Korea andSouth Korea have a beef, just to
put it very, very mildly.

Shaun (00:48):
Like a West Side East Side story kind of thing, where
they all meet at the border andthey're like snapping and do
jazz hands and tap dancing ascombat, kind of thing.
It's like, hey, you squaredaddios from the North, ooh,
look at you guys.
Yeah, that kind of thing.

Nate (01:00):
right, yes, exactly like that, it's exactly like this,
and there's music being playedby a bunch of you know china's
off to the side playing themusic for the whole thing,
frequent dance battles, that'suh, everyone's terrified of the
thermonuclear dance battles, uh,but yeah, apparently you know
it's as I'm sure you've heard,south korea, and you know others

(01:22):
, drop leaflets on the groundwhere they have, like, kim
jong-il's face on there andthey're not allowed to destroy
kim jong-il's face.
Uh, on the other side they'relike, you know, fuck him, he's a
bastard.
You know, hey, pay attention tothe rest of the world.
Like, don't listen to what he'ssaying because it's a lie and
it is, I mean, to be honest,like you know, they're living in
this, it basically in the past.

(01:42):
They're like peasants livingwith in squalor and they think
they have big bad united statesand they come and kill them all
because and eat their babies,and so I mean, in all fairness
we might well, but in allfairness in all fairness, most
americans don't even likeacknowledge that south, north
korea is a thing.
You know, that's uh, it's kindof sad, but that's true.

(02:02):
Like I, my sister, our sister,my oldest daughter, has a friend
who didn't know what northkorea was.
And now, to be fair, he's amoron, but like still like, I
know again, I'm in the middle oflike shitsburg, kentucky, but
like not everyone's thinkingabout north korea, but according
to north korea, all theamericans, just like every day
they wake up and look at northkorea on the map and like, uh,

(02:24):
but anyway, in retaliation,north korea started sending
balloons over that was full oflike diapers and feet, you know
whatever.
And so, yeah, the balloonswould pop and they'd fall or
they'd, you know, lose cigarette, butts, scraps of cloth,
exactly it's actually an articledoes say, uh, cigarettes, and
so they're, I mean.
But it's really petty, you know,I mean unless they did it by

(02:44):
the millions.
It's really petty, you know, Imean unless they did it by the
millions it's about really?

Shaun (02:48):
I mean honestly it sounds kind of like fun for North
Korea.
Let them have their little bitof fun.
Yeah, a whole lot going upthere.
I mean they got cigarettes andhey, did you know
methamphetamines is legal inNorth Korea.

Nate (02:59):
Well that, but I'm not surprised.

Shaun (03:00):
I mean, yeah, they have go for them uh, yeah, it's also
helps, uh, you know, curb the uhaching of starvation from
people too.
So yeah, sure, yeah, apparentlymethamphetamine's legal up
there.
I mean within reason it's.
You know you can't go awol orcrazy on the stuff and murder
people, but you know but yeah,basically be shitty.

Nate (03:17):
There's, I mean there's a bunch of different things about
like the there's like failedmissile launches.
I mean it's complicated, it'salways complicated.
So I very, you know, I justkind of narrowed it down to one
thing, be it like oh yeah, theysaid pamphlets.

Shaun (03:28):
It's bigger than that, but I'm not gonna get into it
because that's you know, I don'twant to go through all the
they'll send like usb drives upnorth too, on balloons and
whatnot, which sucks too,because you know if, like, when
the north korean citizens findsone of those, he might get
killed for having it in hispossession, even if he didn't
want it.
Hey, what's this weird usbthing on the ground?
You're going to jail what?

Nate (03:46):
yeah, uh, yeah, I mean it's south korea's basis, like,
oh you bastards, you know, but Imean this is not gonna be the
thing that sets off the big war.
Yeah they're too south korea'stoo busy with starcraft I
thought, yes, like they're toobusy filling the stages, but god
forbid, they put these trashthings in the sample of
starcraft players.
Oh boy ha but that will be whatgets them uppity.

Shaun (04:07):
But yeah, I mean, I just thought it was interesting, that
was funny kind of a very likethe fact to uh, I like the fact
to the government.
The south korean governmentactually send a text alerts
being like hey, garbage balloonson the way, be careful around
here.
We have like amber alerts andthe stuff and uh, earthquake
alerts.
Up there they got garbageballoon alerts look out, cars
garbage balloon.

Nate (04:25):
Oh dear god.

Shaun (04:26):
Ah, that almost sounds like a weird adult swim cartoon.
Garbage balloon and gloop Ha, Idon't know, I got nothing.
And gloop and gloop.
Um, if you want to stay over onthe other side of the pond,
I've got a new story from aroundthere too.
Turns out the oldest or whatthey believe at least, the
oldest, or what they believe atleast is the oldest anime ever,
from the 1920s, was actuallyfound in Japan.

Nate (04:45):
Now, are they calling it anime just because it's from
Japan, or are they calling itanime because it actually has
stylistic leanings that looklike anime?

Shaun (04:52):
Stylistic leanings because it kind of looks like
anime.
Also, the kanji everywhereprobably helps too.
Apparently, it is actually anine minute video showing a
child using a knife and fork toeat a meal.
That talks about the dangers ofcavities and the benefits of
brushing your teeth.
It was a silent film made backin 1923, and I guess they just
recently found it in thebelongings of an avid movie fan.

(05:14):
He recently died and peoplewere going through his stuff.
It was like what's this?
The film is titled DentalHealth, eight and a half minutes
long.
I'm curious.
Dental Health.
I can send you the link rightnow if you'd like.
It's actually a video.

Nate (05:27):
I got dental health the first thing on there.
Dental health Attack on Titanwiki.
I'm like, uh, I'm fairlycertain that's not it.
Oh, I see it, I found it.
It's a men's journal.
I'll give them a click.

Shaun (05:41):
That's a good question I don't know why they really
consider the anime.
Well, what is the differencebetween anime and just regular
old cartoons in your mind, nate?
Or the standard difference inpeople's?

Nate (05:49):
eyes.
It's a style, you know, it's a,it's a specific look and style.
That being said, though,because it's not just anime what
would that specific look andstyle be?

Shaun (05:57):
is it the big eyes?
Is it the action lines?
Is it big?

Nate (06:00):
eyes.
Uh, it's hard to explain.
It's like you know, just likeyou don't go, like you know.

Shaun (06:05):
But then if someone doesn't know, like oh shit.
Well, I mean the, the animegiant icing started with uh
astro boy way back in the day.
That was the first big guy,anime guy technically.
So anything before thatwouldn't be considered anime
well, no, that's what I'm sayinglike.

Nate (06:18):
That's why it's hard to say just that, because it's uh,
it's complicated is it, and alsothe animation.

Shaun (06:24):
This is not really great.
It's very low frame rate, but Imean it's also 100 years old.
Yeah, I mean, you can't exactlyask a whole lot.

Nate (06:32):
It's hard to really put them into, you know, I don't
know.
I guess it really is hard toput them in a certain box like
you have to hit this type ofquality even though no one else
around the other time did andalso they're, uh, fairly certain
it was by this one old Japaneseartist back in the day.

Shaun (06:46):
But the way they tested this is they looked at all the
kanji in the art and I guesseverybody's kind of got their
own like little specifichandwriting style and stuff.
So they went to the grandson ofthe guy who they thought this
was.
It was like is this hishandwriting?
And they're like seems like it.
So they're thinking it was aguy named Kitayama.

Nate (07:02):
Let's see.
Okay, so Anime has commonfactors Naturalism, whatever
that means.

Shaun (07:10):
And we need to look up naturalism if we're going to
throw that around.

Nate (07:12):
Well, on this one, it says anime tends to be more
naturalistic than otheranimation styles and it starts
giving exceptions.
One piece of exception, wellthen, don't, don't say oh yeah,
this Okay.

Shaun (07:26):
So one of the defining things about anime is it's
realistic, except for when it'snot okay, right, well, no shit.
That that is definitelydifferent than western cartoons,
I will say.
That much we all agree on thisone expressivize symbolize, uh,
expressivize.

Nate (07:40):
Take two expressivize simplified face.
Fair enough, I that's not allanime, but yeah, they do kind of
cut down.
I'd say most anime.
They would cut down on thespecific ridges and whatnot.
Expressive hair.
Cinematic camera angles.
Okay, now the cinematic cameraangles is debatable because
panty shots.

Shaun (07:58):
Yeah, that might be.
What they're referring to isthe cinematic camera angles.

Nate (08:03):
It's like look.

Shaun (08:04):
Just an old, dirty businessman watching those
obscure shots like this is thecinema yeah, I mean for the most
part.

Nate (08:10):
Yes, they get pretty cinematic, but, yeah, I mean,
sometimes, like the only way tosee this is by, you know,
somehow looking under thepanties of this one girl and
through the cleavage of thisother.
Uh, see, emotionally visuallanguage, sure, uh,
environmental, still, it can'ttalk today.

Shaun (08:30):
Environmental storytelling, why not, you know,
yeah, and this I mean, this iswhat we're learning is anime can
basically be from any country,so avatar anime well, no, it's
not they people don't consideranime.

Nate (08:41):
It's because it's making america, it's anime style, it's
widely it has.

Shaun (08:44):
It has big expressive eyes, it's got naturalica, it's
anime style, it's widely it has.
It has big expressive eyes,it's got naturalism, it's
absolutely.
It literally has all thosecheck marks.

Nate (08:49):
But I think it also has to come from, like the east,
because I don't want to say justjapan.
Now, because I'll be honestwith you, china's come out some
pretty badass anime.
They uh especially recently,because they used to have kind
of shitty you know what theycame out, came out was kind of
like, eh, it's all right, um,but recently they've come out
some very impressive anime.
Now I'll go to my head.
I can't tell you any, but Ihave stumbled.

(09:11):
I've stumbled upon them at allmy anime dealings and I have
been, uh, thoroughly impressed.

Shaun (09:16):
So basically what you're saying is all Asians are alike.
Racist Nate.

Nate (09:21):
For the record, this is going downhill for you in a
hurry.
For the record, I did not saythat at all Japan, China you
know it's all the same, thatwhole region over there.

Shaun (09:30):
You know?
Yeah, again for the record,that is not what I said.
History will determine what yousaid in that moment.
History will determine.

Nate (09:39):
History and Reaper.

Shaun (09:42):
Yeah, ha, it's all up to me, the editors, right, I can
make you sound as good or bad asI want.

Nate (09:51):
Like Nathan.
I didn't realize you likedHitler, like I never said I
liked Hitler.
Hey, just what I said right now.
I never said I like Hitler.
Click.
I like Hitler.

Shaun (10:00):
I like.

Nate (10:01):
Hitler.

Shaun (10:02):
All Asians are the same.
I like Hitler.
All Asians are the same I likeHitler, I like Hitler, all
Asians are the same.
I like Hitler, all Asians arethe same, I like Hitler.
That was in a loop.
It was in a loop just me beinglike didn't you just say all
Asians are the same and just youreplying I like Hitler?
I need to make that loop now.
So you're saying all Asians arethe same, I like Hitler?

(10:23):
That's my response to that.
Yep, okay, so the story wasoldest anime ever found Nate's
rebuttal.
Is I like Hitler?

Nate (10:34):
Okay, on to the next story Nate.
I'll be honest with you for aminute there.
I actually forgot what theoriginal story was.
Wait, what started this wholething?
My story this one is a Ghanatoddler set the world record as
the youngest male artist.
His mom said he just lovescolors.
And I'm looking at this, I'mlike especially the artist is
very frustrating because he'ssold like I mean, then again

(10:57):
it's in ghana, so lord knows howmuch he's sold for, but he's
like nine of his ten pieces ofare sold and I'm like, damn it,
like I'm having trouble.
People sell my stuff andactually getting noticed.
Meanwhile this dude I mean it'sfine, you know, like it's one
of those things where it's abunch of colors on a canvas not
buying it for the art on thecanvas, though.

Shaun (11:15):
You're buying it for the story of who you bought that art
from, Cause it's one of thosethings you're going to be like,
hey, look at that art on thewall.
No, they're going to be likelook at that art on the wall.
Here's a long drawn-out storyof why I'm better than you for
buying it.
Because there's some toddler ina poor country.

Nate (11:29):
Well, the mom's, like she was trying to find something for
her artist, Because the mom wasan artist too and she goes I
spread the canvas on the floorand added paint to it.
Then the process of crawlingand they called it the crawl
Like dude yeah, did he reallyeven paint that?
Like there was no decision.
He didn't go.
Oh hey, I'm going to make thiscolors here and do that.
He was just like oh, lookcolors.

Shaun (11:52):
This is the equivalent of jamming your cat's paws in
paint and then having him walkon a canvas and be like my cat
is an artist, right, right, Imean.

Nate (12:00):
I was like is your cat an artist?
I would think the paintingelephants are more of an artist
than that kid is.

Shaun (12:05):
Honestly, I would say those elephants probably are
putting more thought into itthan this kid is.
Absolutely, he's perfectlyhonest, absolutely.

Nate (12:11):
Like they are taking their truck.
They're grabbing a paintbrushand they're putting paint on
there.
This kid was just dropped on acanvas.
He's not exactly making choices.

Shaun (12:20):
Nope, nope, he's not.
're probably like, uh, you know, like tempting him with like a
little toy or something here,crawl across canvas.
And also, um, I don't know, ishe actually crawling across
canvas, because it seems like hewould just like punch right
through a canvas or stretch itout you think, I think, I don't
think that's actually.
It wasn't framed, it was justlike it was like god, so they
just like.
And then they stretched it overthe frame.
Yeah, that makes more senseokay.

Nate (12:41):
And then, uh, he's one year and this is annoying.
This is one year and 152 days.
He's one year.
I mean.
I know like a lot of parents go, oh, he's 12 months or he's 36
months.
It's like, come on Like he's ayear old, you know.
If you want to say year and ahalf, just that's stupid.

Shaun (12:59):
One year and 152 days.
But then there's another onehere.
It says that there's an Indianartist, who's at the age of 11
months old, who sold her firstpainting for $60.
So basically, this seems likeit's just a record on who can
sell.

Nate (13:11):
Huh, no, it's funny you said that because I just read
that too on this article.
They mentioned that the worldrecord before him.

Shaun (13:18):
Okay, so what we need to do is you need to have another
kid and then, like, right afterthat baby pops out of the
birthing canal, you roll it inpaint and then, just like, roll
it across a canvas and then sellit and boom.

Nate (13:30):
Hey, the baby flies out and lands on a canvas.

Shaun (13:33):
Yeah, You're just like push really hard as you're
standing there with like acanvas just holding in front of
the between her legs Just rocksout, splat Boop, just rocks that
splat amniotic fluid all overthe canvas.
Oh, and then if you do that,you can say you gave birth to
the world's youngest artist andstart selling your sperm.

Nate (13:51):
Ah, think of that yeah, this dude like I mean watch,
he's gonna grow up hating art,but just oh, absolutely.

Shaun (13:57):
He'll like like 20 years from now he'll be down in ghana
like holding these giant artburnings and stuff I mean I'm
looking at these paint.

Nate (14:04):
I mean I understand there's a visual style of
painting.
That was just a bunch of colorsrandomly splashed onto canvas.
I get that.
I like them.
You know, some are pretty cool.
But it's just like when I go tothe museum in chicago because
we've been there a few times andI'm walking through there and I
have and I look on the wall andI see what this artist must

(14:26):
have the loudest, biggestclangiest balls in the world and
they turn around and they turnin a white canvas they painted.
I'm sure they put severallayers on white on white, on
white on white.
Let's give them that come on.

Shaun (14:45):
was this an actual art that you saw?

Nate (14:46):
Yes, Okay, yes, I was thinking about that.

Shaun (14:50):
I was thinking about that one.
Did you hear about that artistwho got paid to do an art
commission?
He made the art called, takethe money and run and just
turned into a blank canvas.
Actually, I think I have heardabout that.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, andeverybody's like that's genius,
what can they do?
Well, yeah, they actually woundup suing him over it.

Nate (15:04):
I'm not sure what happened after that, but yeah, yeah, I
think I remember reading aboutthat.
Later on he gave the money back.
I was like no, no I neverintended to actually take the
money.
Yeah, uh-huh, sure Right.
And I saw a white one and I sawa black clamp canvas.

(15:25):
And I love it too, because Iwalk around those things with my
youngest ella, and she, me andher just mercilessly mock these
as we're walking through becauseit's the modern art, obviously
not renaissance art, you know,like if it's an actual true
piece.
Even you know some of uh,picasso stuff, like'm down.
You know I like some of theweirder stuff.
But again, like if you have, ifI'm looking on canvas, there's

(15:48):
two triangles and a dot and I'msupposed to go oh, you look on
there and the title is, I don'tknow the Suffering of Mary in
the Arms of Brutus, or whatever.
It's like what.

Shaun (16:03):
It's one of those magic eye things.
You got to squint really hardand stare.
Did you hear, did you read theonus behind?
Uh, how she decided to turn akid into a painter?
Uh, she basically needed a wayto keep her kid busy from
bothering her while she didpaintings.

Nate (16:16):
Yeah, yep, that's, I didn't know you meant.
But yeah, I totally read that.

Shaun (16:20):
Yeah, it's insane um, this is also kind of one of
those things where it's likeit's hard to respect guinness
book world records anymorebecause they'll just kind of
like come up with the dumbestthings to uh make a record for.

Nate (16:29):
You know if you ever watch john oliver, which I highly
recommend.
I'm actually behind, but, um,he actually did that on guinness
book world records and actuallyit's kind of a problem because
you have all these dictators andyou know strongmen out there
who, in order to, kind of like,make themselves look awesome,
they'll, they'll just pay, gethis book of world records go.

(16:49):
Hey, come out here and witnessthis, so I can, I can say we
have the biggest pie and they doit.

Shaun (16:55):
You know, it's just this place can't be a shithole.
We have the world's biggest piehere in north korea.
Isn't that amazing?
Yeah, I mean, look the pie.

Nate (17:04):
We made the biggest pie and the largest crowd of
starving people looking at thepie.

Shaun (17:08):
I was about to say.
Only three, only 3000 peopledied in the making of this pie.
We're going to have one loneman unwillingly eat all of it,
that is going to be hispunishment, too, for stealing
from the government Everyone hasto watch, and this guy eats the
world's biggest pie unwillingly.
if he stops eating for even amoment, gunshots this is a thing

(17:31):
too, that apparently the uhindia is getting a lot of people
doing weird guinness recordstuff, because I guess what it
is is over there in indiathere's so many people uh,
people are starving for a way todifferentiate, differentiate
themselves from other people, sothat's usually done by trying
to set records nowadays, andit's just weird records to, like
, you know, running backwards inplace the longest or dumb stuff

(17:52):
like that.
How long can this man sit?
Perfectly still.

Nate (17:56):
Yeah, they have a kissing one too.
Like these people kiss for Xamount of time, like okay.

Shaun (18:00):
And then you're like what is the stipulation?
Kissing Just literally, havingyour lips pressed against
somebody?
Is there actual tongue?
Do you have to be moaning?
Right, true, right, is it?

Nate (18:07):
How, what kind of passion I mean again, if you're two
people locking lips.
I mean okay.

Shaun (18:13):
Yeah, I mean that that it was just two people, like
literally just their lips barelytouching I feel A-frame thing
to hold your heads in place andjust like sit there for days.
Oh yeah, and also this issomething I always thought was
one of the dumber rules World'slongest fingernails.

Nate (18:31):
Right, that guy, I remember that guy.

Shaun (18:33):
Oh no, this is actually a thing.
There's multiple people who doit.

Nate (18:36):
I think about the guy when I was in high school.
I'm sure since then there'sbeen others, but there was
always that one guy, the oneimage that always pops in my
head, the black and you knowsepia tone, where he's standing
there and he's got the curls andcurls and curls.
Uh, he's the one I'm sure.
Again, I'm absolutely 100positive.
What you're about to say istrue.
It just.
There are others, I just he'sthe one I was thinking of yeah,

(18:56):
um, usually the ones I hearabout.

Shaun (18:58):
It's like usually like, uh rich, uh oil barons or
princes and stuff, making one,their wives do it Grow out their
fingernails super long.
It's like a hey look, I'm sorich, my wives can do nothing
but sit around and let theirfingernails grow, which seems
dumb.
And it's even worse when yourealize if you're doing that
long fingernail challenge,you're basically dependent on
other people Because you knowyou can't really wipe your butt

(19:18):
anymore, you can't feed yourselfreally well and it's hideous.

Nate (19:25):
You can really well and a lot of stuff, and it's hideous.
Fingernails yeah, it's hideouslike the.
The nails don't continuelooking like regular nails, they
start to get all curly andweird.
Yeah, they start getting realgnarly and it's just because
they start picking up all thestuff that's around and you
can't really do anything aboutit.
How do you groom that so right?

Shaun (19:39):
yeah, she spends a whole bunch of servants and slaves.

Nate (19:42):
Right, you can't.
She can't even groom her ownnails, they're too long.

Shaun (19:45):
Yep, let's see what are the longest fingernails in the
world?
Now I'm curious 42 feet 10inches.

Nate (19:51):
And again.

Shaun (19:52):
Diana Armstrong.
Apparently, she can Wow.
Those things are long too.
They're almost as tall as herwhen she's standing there.
Oh okay, so they must bebraided or something as tall as
her where she's standing there.
Oh okay, so they must bebraided or something, I don't
know.
Hmm, anyways, if you want, tosee something weird.

Nate (20:07):
Google longest fingernails in the world.
No, I just looked her up.
At least those are kind ofstraight.
Looks like she actually like.
There's like colorful bands onthere, I guess to hopefully, you
know, keep her from gettinglike a boss in a dark souls game

(20:30):
or something right?
You're not just long feet, noseback they're gross.

Shaun (20:31):
They're gross passionate love making with her.
She just kind of like have tohold her arms up above her and
uh, anyway, well, I would thinkit'd be difficult even to raise
your hands up.
She's doing in this one pictureshe's holding it above her head
.
But yeah, I don't know it's.
Maybe it's one of those thingsit's easier to do when you've
been growing them all along,instead of just having them
plopped on you all at once well,here's a sign that's really
fucking gross.

Nate (20:51):
She in this picture she has um, it looks like a cane or
a stick.
She's like leaning on and youcan't tell the difference.
They all look the same, youknow.
You can't tell between thestick and her nails.
Or is that her thumb?
Maybe it's not a stick, maybeit's just her thumbnail going
out.

Shaun (21:08):
I don't know.
Yeah, I think what you'relooking at might be her nails,
because her nails all look likelong walking sticks, kind of-ish
.

Nate (21:13):
Yeah, you know, I think I was wrong with it.
Yeah, just like the GreatAntonio, like.

Shaun (21:19):
I thought it was a stick.
It is not a stick.
That was his beard, yep.

Nate (21:22):
Or hair.

Shaun (21:23):
Whatever it was.
So, uh, oh, her and the greatAntonio could have made adorable
children, yeah, ha, yeah, withlong hair and long fingernails.
All right, next story I've gottoo.
Hey, remember that dude who gotthe Neuralink chip implanted in
his brain?
Have you heard about that?
Yes, yeah, dude recently wentthere, got the Neuralink chip

(21:43):
implanted in his brain, and Ilike that story too, because he
was a paraplegic or aquadriplegic.
And did you hear what he didfor his first day of being able
to do stuff with the Neuralinkin?
He spent his entire day playingCivilization VI, just something
.
I can get behind.
Yeah, he said it was thegreatest time he had ever had
since he lost his ability tomove.
I'm like that is amazing.
So good for him, unfortunatelyI.

(22:03):
I was thinking.

Nate (22:05):
I don't know, hooker, hooker.

Shaun (22:08):
What?
Yeah, he got a hooker, oh, okay.
Well, how's Neuralink helpingwith the hooker Nate?

Nate (22:14):
Oh, for some reason, I think he can move.

Shaun (22:16):
Nope, he can just control a computer with his brain.
He can basically move a mouse.

Nate (22:19):
Oh well, there you go, Okay fair enough, I just
remember some guy get a chip inhis brain, the end.

Shaun (22:28):
You're like bring me a hooker.
I want her to watch me playCivilization 6.

Nate (22:33):
Yes, that's exactly.
He's like I'm paying for thehour you're gonna watch me play
Sim 6 and in fact he like paidfor like 10 hours and he's like
you have to sit there and watchme play Sim 6 this entire time
and you cannot leave, and youknow what the hooker's like.
Hey, this is better than havingsome fatty sweat dude on top of

(22:54):
me plowing away for the next 10hours, so sure she says that in
the first 30 minutes but by hour5, she's like God, that sweaty
guy would have been done with mein like 5 minutes.
I'd be back out in the streetdoing whatever, or home anything
else.
Because I mean it's one thingto like play Civ 6 for 10 hours.

(23:14):
It's something else to watchsomeone play Civ 6 for 10 hours.
It's something else to watchsomeone play Civ 6 for 10 hours.

Shaun (23:18):
The actual story itself was the fact that that chip
actually started to becomedetached from his brain,
unfortunately limiting hisability to use it.
Apparently, this is one ofthose things they kind of
expected, because I guess theywere like there's a pretty good
chance it's going to startsliding around, or it's not just
the chip sliding around, it'salso his brain, is actually
moving around inside of his headand that can cause it to become
detached.
85% of the wires had actuallybecome detached, but the thing

(23:42):
is is they didn't want to go inand do more surgeries to
reattach them, but they wereable to actually go in and
rewrite the algorithm that thechip runs on and make it more
responsive to the signals it wasgetting, and restored almost
full usability back to him justwithout cracking open a skull or
nothing.
So that was pretty neat.
And then he played sims yep, Imean honestly.

Nate (24:02):
I love sims 6, you know I mean it's.
I wonder if he's able to do afast-paced game like on a call
of duty on the pc?

Shaun (24:09):
probably not I would guessing yeah because I think I
did hear somewhere along thelines.
It was more of a uh, you knowyou can't do it super fast
that's not because yeah, thatmakes sense, I mean because
right because I mean, it isthink hard, and then that mouse
is going to cursor, is going tomove to the left.
It's not like he's, you know,synced up and one with the
computer.
It's not lawnmower man?

(24:29):
I assume not yet.
Well, lawnmower man was awfultoo.

Nate (24:33):
Ah well, I mean, I remember back in the day I was
pretty impressed like, oh, a lotmore man.
I remember I saw one thingwhere he's like the wife got all
mad for him.
He's like, oh, you're fallingor flying, falling, what's next?
Fucking.
It's an actual line that was onthe movie and I'm like they're
polygons.
I mean, I get we're in the 90s,but I think you recognize like

(24:54):
there's nothing sexy aboutpolygons.
Yeah, I don't care how many.
Like well, but say you can't, Idon't care how many polygons,
but actually there is a certainpolygon count where it does
start turning to a little jesus.
Yeah, but back then, and nevermind the fact that a lawnmower
man had nothing to do the bookwas based on.

Shaun (25:10):
Yes, yeah, yeah yeah, I wasn't even talking about the
movie.
I was just saying it's not likelawnmower man where he's
actually inside the computercontrolling everything.

Nate (25:18):
You know that way it's the movie yeah, you're like oh,
it's not a movie.
I was only talking about themovie anyway, okay, it's all to
you.

Shaun (25:26):
Now I mean, oh yeah, it was my turn last time too, but
you, you just went, so I waslike okay, cool, wait, I thought
you did the last one beforethis too.

Nate (25:33):
I did the painting one, then you did, uh, whatever, okay
, um, yeah I'm pretty sure I did.
We went in the right order okay,yeah, uh, so did we talk about
the I don't know if we'retalking about this the, the
golfer up here, because they'rethe pga tour up here.
And man, oh god, I hated it somuch.
I don't care about golf and Iwas trying to give, I'm just
trying to get my kid to thedentist and on my way there I

(25:56):
got stuck in traffic, dead stoptraffic, so much so that it took
me like I had to go way out ofmy way to get around it.
It was awful.
That was the PGA Tour thathappened up here.
One interesting thing thathappened in the PGA Tour is,
first of all, some guy died.
He died because he was tryingto cross the road to get to the
PGA Tour.
He was a vendor or somethingand he got hit and struck.

(26:21):
He was hit and killed by a bus,which I totally believe,
because I was almost hit andkilled by a bus too, because my
wife's like, oh hey, go this way, you know the traffic's not so
bad now, and she was wrongbecause I tried to go around and
it yeah, and so I'm stuck intraffic, I try to turn around
and just as I'm about to pullthis bus right almost took me
out.
I mean driving in the middlelane, mind you.
So, yeah, fuck those buses.

(26:42):
Anyway, after that happened, allthe cars were backed up and a
golfer named scotty scheffler uh, if you know golf, he's
apparently well known like hewas the number one hey golf guy
and he decided to go and he wastrying to get there.
He went around all the cop carsand he was going into what he
thought was like he was allowed.
He's like hey, I'm the one maingolfer's here, I can go ahead

(27:05):
and cut through this PGA Tourrope off thing and I'll be fine.
Well, some cop tried to stophim and the cops tried to say
that, oh, he dragged him.
But apparently the cop tried tolike he banged on his window
and was all being a my guess ishe's being a dick and so the
golfer was like oh, I don't wantto be here anymore, I don't
feel safe, I'm gonna get out ofhere, which I don't know why he

(27:26):
doesn't feel safe.
I mean, he's like the widestguy I've ever seen.
But uh and like he's.
He's also like he's a ceo, somelike he was a CEO of a lawyer
firm, so whatever.
And so basically, the copssmashed the window in, dragged
his ass out of the car and theyarrested him.
And it's like, oh man, becauseon one hand, I don't know, I

(27:46):
don't have a high opinion ofsome of the cops, particularly
those cops, like you know.
I don't want to get all like,oh, all cops, but specifically
cops, but specifically the copsin that area that I have heard
stories of, like they aren't thebest.
And so this guy drags them outand they, they booked them, all
this stuff.
And you know, louisville isn'texactly the most uncorruptible

(28:08):
place in the world.
And the pga if they lost thepga tour because of this, you
know, oh man, heads would roll.
And my guess is, you knowwhether that cop was in the
right or not?
My guess is, he is not.
His career is not looking goodright now.
Yeah, I almost feel bad for thecop, almost almost, almost yeah,
because he and the guy like he,you know, got arrested.

(28:29):
They took him in, they bookedhim in the center back and the
cops were like, oh, he broke thelaw.
But I'm telling you, like thewhether the cops are right or
not, the pga tour is a massivemoney maker like for
specifically for this like areaand for this golf course.
They I was trying to drivethrough there I mean people were
let people park in theirdriveways for like 30 to 40

(28:49):
bucks a pop and they actuallyhad crossed it out at one point
and moved to 75, like just topark near there.
So it's a, it's a sport thatbrings a lot of rich people into
a certain area where they spenda lot of money.
They are not gonna stand by, donothing while their top golf
person gets arrested by somerandom police officer so makes

(29:12):
it feel bush league kind ofthing.

Shaun (29:14):
yeah, that that's that's.

Nate (29:16):
I don't know.
I was going to fly.
I think it might be all just.
I think it's going to be allsmoothed over people's hands and
greased.
You know it is what it is, butI just thought it was
interesting story.
I got saw this.
I'm like, oh right, thishappened.
So, yeah, it's got Scotty Schaeand most likely ended the
career of a cop.

Shaun (29:34):
Actually looking to see if there's anything.
Talking about what would happento the cop.
But I mean, people havemurdered people.
Cops have murdered peoplebefore in Stoke how to keep
their jobs.
So Well, yeah, but you know,let's be real.

Nate (29:44):
They murdered people of a certain demographic and they got
away with it.
This is a.
I mean, can you imagine someonearresting a boy in Seattle
let's say there's a game andwho's the quarterback of the
Seattle Seahawks?
Imagine him trying to like hegot arrested on his way to a
game.
Can you imagine, like, do youthink that cop would get out

(30:04):
unscathed?
Probably.

Shaun (30:05):
Depends on the color of the player and the reason behind
it.
Fair enough.
Yeah, I mean, Richard Shermanwas one of the most famous
athletes around here and he gotarrested, drug off by the cops.
Actually, a lot of ourcelebrities have gotten arrested
up here.
Marshawn Lynch, I think, gotarrested in Seattle.
Warren Moon got arrested forDUI on his way back from

(30:26):
announcing a game.
It's happened a few times uphere.

Nate (30:31):
They didn't necessarily get drug out of the car though.
Well, yeah, and the day of likeon the way to the game.

Shaun (30:36):
At least that way to the golfer If he does fail at the
tournament, he can always belike well, here's the reason.

Nate (30:41):
Well, that was the scuttlebutt around here for a
little bit.
You know about this golfer andI don't even care about golf,
but yeah, people seem to reallycare about that.

Shaun (30:51):
The end for that one.
It does look like he'll getpunished, but it doesn't say
what kind of punishment it'll be.
Eh, probably paid vacation.

Nate (30:58):
Yeah, that's probably just a fun—you're talking about the
cop.
Yeah, yeah, I mean it's gonnabe—they're gonna be token, you
know, most likely Because Idoubt the PJ tour—they don't
want to look too bad by pushingtoo hard.
But yeah, I'm guessing he'sgonna get like paid leave, leave

(31:19):
for a few minutes and then he'sback on it.
Now, had he hurt that guy whilelike arresting him, you know he
put his knee on his neck orwhatever the case may be.
Then he had been super duper.

Shaun (31:27):
It was super duper screwed, but that happened yeah,
yeah, the golfer's complainingabout a 80 pair of pants that
got ripped, which, yeah, it'snot like 80.
Is that expensive a pair ofpants anymore, really?
Not really no yeah, no, no yeah.
First of all, oh, $80?
.

Nate (31:42):
Oh wait, that's actually you know?

Shaun (31:44):
I mean you can get $20 pants at Walmart and stuff, but
they're not good.

Nate (31:49):
No, you go to Macy's.
You can find, you know, $80 to$100 pair of pants or more.

Shaun (31:55):
Oh yeah, I mean.
Well, just to stand Like decentquality.
Levi's are about $100 a pairNowadays.
I think I could be wrong onthat Decent quality being the
keyword there.
There are several differentlevels of Levi pants quality,
just so you know.
Let's see, the officer has gonethrough corrective action For
the whole thing.
Don't fuck with celebrities.
That almost sounds like, too,what they actually got him more

(32:16):
in trouble for through acorrective action for, uh, the
whole thing, don't fuck withcelebrities.

Nate (32:17):
That sounds like too.

Shaun (32:17):
What they actually get got him more in trouble for was
not having his body cam on thanfor what he actually did from.
This is just from like glancingtoo, but yeah.

Nate (32:25):
Well, they were saying like oh, typically the officers
don't have it on for liketraffic stuff.
I'm like, but you should haveit on, you know, because stuff
happens and you really need iton.
Oh right, oh.
And of course, almostimmediately people were like
free scotty, and t-shirts poppedup immediately free scotty.

Shaun (32:42):
Let's see, back in 2021 was uh commended for going above
and beyond the call of duty andenforcing a lot of traffic uh
laws?
He, uh, he, basically he got anaward for issuing a staggering
108 citations in 2021.
Oh no, 108 citations during afour-hour operational period
back in 2021.

(33:03):
So this guy likes his trafficthings, his traffic infractions
yeah, I mean it's easy pickingstoo for a cop.
It's like, hey look, I got tomake money for the city and it's
really easy and pretty low risk.
Right, I mean mostly low risk.

Nate (33:21):
Yeah, pretty low risk, right, I mean mostly low risk,
yeah, mostly real risk, yeah.
But yeah, I know I'm not sureif it's the same out there, but
I know around here they have aquota to meet every month.
So that's why it's always likeyou definitely don't want to
speed at the end of the monthbecause the cops are out in
force trying to meet their quota, but at the beginning of that
pretty much everywhere yeah,like they got plenty of time so
you know you'd be you'll be alittle more relaxed at the
beginning of the month.

Shaun (33:36):
Yeah, so earlier this month, the Catholic Church
announced that they were goingto be having a big livestream
event where they were going todiscuss what they know about
aliens and this and that, andextraterrestrials and paranormal
phenomena.
And this got the wholeparanormal alien phenomena
groups online just frothing withanticipation.
They were so excited becausethey're like, hey man, the

(33:57):
Catholic Church is comingthrough and they're telling us
everything that we want to knowabout aliens.
It's going to be awesome.
Did you hear about this wholething that they were doing?
No, yeah, basically, man, Ibring this up because the
internet was all a tizzy andthey were super excited because
they're like, because theyannounced this, like not long
after that governmentwhistleblower came forth and was
like, ooh, I'm going to blowthe whistle on all this alien
stuff.
So everybody's like, ooh, theCatholic church is going to tell

(34:19):
us everything they know.
Well, it turns out that giantlive stream event and that's not
what it was.
It was actually kind of lameand it's basically the Pope
going over rules on how to notget duped by fake acts of
miracles or fake alien sightingsand stuff, and they actually
just basically went over thesteps you should go through if
you want to actually verify ifsomething is an alien or not,
and it involves going throughall the proper channels all the

(34:40):
way up to the Pope, and the Popewill actually verify whether or
not something was real.
And apparently it was a verylame press conference and
everybody was very bummed.

Nate (34:47):
I can imagine.
I mean it's like well, show usthe alien and we will tell you
if it's an alien or not.
Like, uh, it's green, with biggiant eyes and 25 fingers.
Nope, not alien.
That is a chupacabra, by theway.
Chupacabra's a list.
Now give me the, give me thealien.

Shaun (35:04):
I mean that's chupacabra essentially the whole uh live
stream thing.
It basically just can be summedup as the catholic church being
like hey, uh, don't get dupedby fake alien reports.
If there are real aliens outthere, we'll let you know when
that happens.

Nate (35:19):
Yeah, I hate that.
Yeah, the group of control, Imean.

Shaun (35:23):
Yeah, and it's, I think too.
Also, they took out the abilityto deem stuff miracles out of
the lower-level Catholic priests, and now it's only super
high-up ones that can claim it.
Oh, there you go.
Yeah, anyways there you go.
Yeah, anyways, there you go.
Yay, the pope knows nothingabout aliens.
They say so, he says so.

Nate (35:43):
He says okay, huh new york city's rat hating mayor, eric
adams, is once again ticketedfor rats as a brooklyn property.
So he's a property owner who,you know, hates rats and
apparently he once did a publicexecution with a rat, which is a
weird way to do a pressconference.
He's like I hate rats and oncetried to prove it by
demonstrating a device thatdrowned them in a vat of caustic

(36:07):
liquid.
In a caustic liquid, he's likelook, I'm murdering them, behold
.
And he even appointed a city.
The county won't do it.
The caustic liquid will, yeah,them behold.
And he even appointed a city'sprobably won't do it.
The caustic liquid will, yeah.
It's like the first quote ratczar last year, after posting
help, wanted to add seekingapplicants, um, who would commit
to the quote wholesaleslaughter of the pets.

(36:28):
So he really wants them gone,uh.
But then he said like the arethey?
Uh, sorry, I lost it, the ratsare.
They just want a wholesaleslaughter of pets.
So he's just like he wants aholocaust of rats.

Shaun (36:39):
Good luck doing that in a place the size of new york city
, because if there's one thingI've learned is when you got a
lot of people, you're alwaysgonna have rats, right, yeah, I
mean.
And even this whole thing whereit's like har har, har is
building as rats too.
Isn't that ironic?
Well, yeah, pretty much anylarge building is gonna have
rats.
Even if you don't see them,there's still going to be rats
around.

Nate (36:55):
I mean they're pests, I mean, and they carry disease,
but also like they'resurvivalists.
And they go hand-in-hand withhumans too, because they like
our civilizations, because it'sfull of food and stuff and
there's no Pied Piper that'sgoing to like lure them out.

Shaun (37:17):
It's just claims to be completely rat free.
It's like a county in Canadaand it's a farming county and I
guess if you detect a rat there,they actually have like this
rat squad that goes through andwill comb your entire property
and like slash and burn any rathouses that they find or
anything that resembles a ratden.

Nate (37:34):
My home.

Shaun (37:34):
Yeah, yeah I guess, and home, yeah, I guess even they
will say that we're probably not100% rat free but we are the
most rat free place in the world.
And I guess the reason they canget away with this too is like
on the west side of the countyis nothing but mountains that
nobody can really go through,and on the right hand side is
like more mountains with justone mountain pass.
They kind of have a choke pointthat they can put a quarantine
on and search all vehiclescoming in.

(37:55):
Okay, well, there you go, yeah,yeah.
So they kind of have like anadvantage of you know geography,
but they do proudly boastthemselves as the only rat free
place in the world.

Nate (38:05):
Don't go there.

Shaun (38:07):
Yeah.

Nate (38:07):
Don't go there, Fievel.
Don't go there, Fievel Right.

Shaun (38:10):
Go somewhere else.
Fievel and R.

Nate (38:20):
He got, he's been, he's been in trouble for this before,
he's got tickets a few timesfor it.
It seems kind of petty.

Shaun (38:25):
I think maybe someone wrote this out because they
don't like the guy, but stillLike I don't know, but you're
reading a news story and you'relike this seems kind of skewed
one way or the other.
It's like this does not seemlike impartial reporting.

Nate (38:36):
Yeah, I mean, this is AP, like the Associated Press them,
because they're supposed to bemore, because obviously fox has
a leaning, and msnbc, um, yeah,it was, is it?
No?
Yeah, msnbc, they, they have,they definitely have a leaning,
you know, and now I think one ofthose two is more factual than
the other one, but they haveleanings, um, I think I

(38:57):
especially oppressed, prettylike down the middle, as they
can, as you can get you know,more of an aggregate of a bunch
of other new places, aren't they?

Shaun (39:05):
Yeah, I think so.
Sort of ish kind of.
I've also heard Al Jazeera is apretty good.
As far as I've heard that too,more neutral kind of yeah.

Nate (39:12):
I've heard that too.
Um, of course the name of thatis to uh foreign for Americans.

Shaun (39:20):
Yeah, name there, right they're pro-terrorists right now
.

Nate (39:24):
Yeah.

Shaun (39:25):
That sounds like those kind of people that wear turbans
Can't have that.
So that was my Rats still aproblem in New York.
Apparently he had to.
He's so far spent $7,000 on ratmitigation on the property.

Nate (39:39):
Rat mitigation.

Shaun (39:41):
Like rat extermination.

Nate (39:42):
Oh, like trying to Trying to resolve this.
Like they sit down the tablelike his honor lawyer, like him,
the rats are like negotiatingover property of right.
So like, look, you guys aresquatters.
If you're gonna put any kind ofterm on your squatters like,
squeak, squeak, squeak all right, this guy like this is my
lawyer.
Five old saltzman right andfinally he's like look, let's,

(40:02):
can we please, we please getlawyer Jingles in here and hear
cat Big ol' fat little bellonslike, oh my god, sit back and
watch as the cat runs around.
Anyway, they laugh.
I'll murder rats for fun.

Shaun (40:17):
Morgan Spurlock died of cancer.
The creator of the Super SizeMe Documentary, he died earlier
from I lost what kind of cancerit was, but anyways, he's most
known for lying about mcdonald'sfood on uh, his yeah, you know,
I heard about that like he waslying.

Nate (40:31):
It was like and they're like oh, you're getting worse
and worse and worse.
And I mean I, I definitelymcdonald's is not healthiest.
I mean I get it, but he's hehas since also like admitted oh
yeah, I was heavy into heavyinto alcohol and drug use.

Shaun (40:44):
I was doing that like well, maybe that was why your
health was deterioratingapparently there's literally a
scene where the doctor's liketalking, he's like you have the
liver of a hardcore alcoholicand he's like that's what
mcdonald's do to you.
No, that's because he was ahardcore alcoholic at the time.
Yeah, and all those sceneswhere he was like puking up the
mcdonald's, like my body wouldreject it.

Nate (41:03):
No, he was just hung over and his body was shutting down
yeah, what a dick I mean yeah,and I try to take that further
and he's like trying to do 30days is you know?
The one I saw was poor and hetried to get jobs and he kept
getting fired from jobs hewouldn't do remember that one
too.
Yeah, and I'm like, okay, areyou legitimately trying these

(41:23):
jobs?
Because you know?
You know there's a camera rightthere.
You can't hide it.
There's a camera right thereand the boss is coming in and
he's being a dick to you, likewe could all see that he's being
a dick to you.
However, we could all see thatyou're not doing the job he
wants.
So you know it can be aquestion.
It's questionable.
Like his manager style.
I might not like his managerstyle, but is he wrong?

(41:43):
And then, like I bet you, hewas just fucking up my purpose
for the day.

Shaun (41:46):
Oh, I'd be willing to bet too.

Nate (41:48):
Yeah, or even that guy was a paid.
He was like, hey, can you bemean to me?
Leave me on that smart day.

Shaun (41:53):
I just think you know, just be a dick, yeah, because
you forget you can rent anoffice for, yeah, it's whatever.
He also got me too with sexualmisconduct charges too at one
point.
Oh, really, yeah, apparently hewas not great with the ladies.
Yeah, that sucks, yeah, so eh,screw that guy.

(42:15):
And also, I remember when thatspecial came out too, there was
a lot of people that were verylike skeptical of it too,
because there was a couple otheruh like documentaries that came
out right after people likedoing the same thing, but their
health didn't really change thatmuch.
Or like, hey, you can live offmcdonald's, but as long as you
know walk more than 30 feet aday, you won't be that bad off
yeah and what was it?

Nate (42:34):
it wasn't super satisfying because that was the big one
there.
There was another one.
I was like, hey, we're havingweddings all the time.
I think it was weddings, but itwas something like that.
And yeah, you're absolutelyright.
They're like yeah, I guess.

Shaun (42:43):
Also did that documentary .
Where in the World is Osama BinLaden?
Where in the world is Osama BinLaden?
Where in the world?
Yeah, hmm, yeah, apparently healso worked with Joss Whedon and
Stan Lee to create thedocumentary Comic-Con Episode 4
of Fans Hope.
Interesting, that isinteresting.
I will say that I did hearsomebody when they're talking

(43:04):
about the uh, morgan Spurlock'sdeath, they did say that one
thing Morgan Spurlock actuallydid that was pretty helpful for
society ish was he did prove topeople like uh, aspiring
directors that you can do adocumentary without getting,
like Hollywood you know,approval of it and stuff.
You can kind of do it on thelow down and on the small budget
.
Well, with smartphones.
It's just it was over yeah yeah, smartphones changed all that.

(43:26):
Nowadays you could.
You can literally make your ownmovie at home.
That's better quality and someof the stuff in theaters.

Nate (43:31):
You know what you're doing even steven spielberg he was,
he was being interviewed.
He's all like look, you know,back in the day you needed, you
know, parents that are richenough to get you a little mini
camera, if anything, or thefeeling that you had to find
someone to back you to buy abunch of equipment so you can go
and shoot something that and itmay or may not go anywhere.
You know, you, you spend,you're in high school, you

(43:52):
really want to make a movie, soyou go and you have your parents
, or you get a job and then yourent all this equipment and then
so you're in the hole now for,like, let's say, 10 grand with
all the stuff you had to get,and then you used to go shoot it
and edit it, and now you'relike now what?
So?

Shaun (44:07):
like what we went through on the john waters episode.

Nate (44:09):
They stole their supplies to get through on some of this
stuff, but yeah, so yeah, butnow it's just like yeah, I got
my phone, I get this.
Is it as high quality as likesome real digital cameras?

Shaun (44:19):
no, but it's fine if you don't mind shooting in like 4x3
format.
You know standard format.
Apparently you can buy likelate 90s, early 2000s, top of
the line like digital camcordersfrom studios, for they were
originally like $100,000 forlike $2,000 or even $500 or
something like that.
You can get the pretty cheap.
But then again you know they'reonly 4x3 format.

Nate (44:42):
I was broke a $10,000 camera once we were filming.
It was my teacher's the filmclass I was in.
The teacher shared with me RunLola Run.
It was, by the way, amazing.
If anybody wants to watch areally cool German film, run
Lola Run is awesome.

Shaun (44:57):
I'm sure I've talked about that.
Yeah, I've never seen it, butI've heard of it so good man
yeah, it's like have you watchedit recently, or well?

Nate (45:04):
no, I've watched recently I've watched it recently but I'm
pretty sure I'm fairly certainit holds up, because it's not um
, it's not, let's have this.
It's not like super complicated, you know.
It's basically like a girlkeeps on um.
She basically her day is avideo game and she keeps on
getting reset, like she tries togo, she tries to run.
Her boyfriend lost a bunch ofmoney.

(45:25):
He lost a gangster's money andhe's like I'm they're gonna kill
me if I don't get this money tothese people.
I'm a dead man.
That the end.
And so he's standing outside ofa um like a kroger or you know
the german version of safeway oryou know.
Basically it's a grocery store.
He's like I'm gonna rob thisplace and I get all the money so

(45:45):
I can replace the money I lost.
Because what happened was hewas on the bus, he was on a
subway or something like that,and he got all nervous.
Cops came on the bus, he gotall nervous and just bounced
without realizing I have aduffel bag full of money next to
me.
So she has to run to stop him.

(46:10):
So she's running from herapartment all the way to him and
as she's doing this, she keepson running around people.
And when she runs around people.
You see polaroids of like howthe rest, how their future goes
after their like briefinteraction in terms of like she
ran in bass and that's it.
You know there was.
She didn't talk to these people.
She'd do anything.
She's like maybe bump oneshoulder or whatever.
She delayed someone a fewseconds and every time she
redoes it, everyone's life ischanged dramatically based on
what she was doing and wherethey were.

(46:31):
When they interact with eachother for those brief seconds,
it's pretty cool.
And, of course, every time shefails, she suddenly wakes up in
a chair with a phone ringing andit starts all over again.
It's so cool.

Shaun (46:44):
Anyway, and Bill Murray's standing there being like oh,
oh, you're stuck in this looptoo, I see, oh yeah, right,
basically I'll just.
I'll probably just watch it andbe like ah, this isn't as good
as that simpsons episode thatspoofed it, I mean I don't think
it's very long watch either.

Nate (46:57):
I mean you could hell just youtube like one clip and you
get.
You get the point.
Um, anyway, my film teacher'sfavorite movie was that, and so
I'm like, okay, here's whatwe're gonna do.
We're a film commercial forshoes, uh, and so we're gonna
get the.
We got one guy with shoes, weget pants that were similar to
hers, and all we did we tooklike 30 seconds from the movie

(47:18):
and then had him run across abridge of downtown seattle that
went over like the train tracks,like near um the pier, and he
ran over that and we're runningalong with him because it was on
a, had a tripod with a dollylike with wheels.
At the very end of the bridgethere was a little hitch and I
stopped it dead and the wholething tipped and that camera

(47:38):
about smashed to the ground andagain, this camera was 10 grand.
Uh, we caught it.
It was fine, you know, and wegot the film and we turned it in
and we got an A, but it's likeman, everything went in slow
motion.

Shaun (47:50):
Yeah, yeah.

Nate (47:53):
I've had in my life.
I've had several times whereit's like I did something fairly
stupid and thank God nothingcame of it.
Because you know, most recentlyI still kind of get my heart
palpitations when I think aboutthis uh, working at lowe's they
have all these safetyprecautions you have to do and
because I didn't feel liketrying to go get one of those
blue lifts or getting a tallerladder.
Yeah, I was trying to get thisbox off this very top and I was

(48:13):
trying to get the box underneaththe box and so I'm trying to
like kind of jimmy it out ofthere and like, whatever my plan
is, I'm gonna pull both boxesout, drop one and I'll take the
other one and put it back on thetop.
Well, the balance gets off andthe other box falls over.
It's not super heavy but it'sfull of lights.
It falls over and lands in theaisle across, not this aisle it
rolls and falls into the aisle.

(48:35):
There could have been a babycarriage there.
There could have been some oldlady, it could have been anybody
, it could have been my boss,it's just that it wouldn't.
Maybe when it probably killed ababy, but it wouldn't have
killed anybody else, but it'slike there was no one in the
aisle.
Oh, thank god.
There's like one of those timeswhere it's like I did something
stupid and I did think anythingwould come of it.

Shaun (48:56):
It's just like only by the grace of the universe that
basically what it was, is you'relike oh, these rules are in
place, these rules are stupidand have no point in this
reality.
I'm not going to do them.
I'm too cool for school, I knowbetter.

Nate (49:08):
And then you almost killed a baby, nate, yeah, since then
I'm like, okay, I'm not doingthat, I'll go ahead and get the
boot lift.
I'll go get this stupid thingand drive it over there and pick
it up so now I can edit it.

Shaun (49:27):
All asians look like I love hitler.
I killed a baby, okay, anyways.
Yeah again, be careful of whatyou hear online.

Nate (49:29):
It might not be the full story.
There was actually like Ialmost pulled um, wait, did I
almost pulled a new story thatlike, oh, I did pull a new story
about this.
Aha, okay, I have somethingthat's related to this, so it's
my turn, or your turn, my turn.
Yes, yay, sorry, I'm supertired.
My brain's not like functioning.
There's been a couple timeswhere I was like I've been like
ugh, okay, tests find that AItools readily create election

(49:50):
lies from the voices ofwell-known political leaders.
See, it's relevant.
Just talking about it.
Basically, I mean the longarticle basically saying like
people are scared that you knowthey have AI that can sound like
politicians pretty convincinglyand make them say whatever and
it's like man that's.
It's so scary.

Shaun (50:05):
I mean, ai is cool, um, is this like ai answering
questions and just giving textresponses, or this actual them
editing like voice voice?

Nate (50:14):
yeah, well, because you know just like, uh, they'll take
, they'll, they'll take audio ofbiden, for instance, and so
then what the ai will do is, youknow, just like those ai
readers, except, well, the aireaders, it's very obvious, it's
a and I, but you know, and someof the nicer ones it's not so
quite obvious and you can evensee now, like on um, some of

(50:35):
those social media platforms, oreven not social media platforms
, like you can get a someone, apretend person, that looks like
a real person, saying whateverthe fuck you want them to say.
You're like, um, you know, Idon't know, I love hillar, you
know, I mean, and it's like this, this guy's like, oh, hey, I
love hillar, it just.
And so now you can actually doreal politicians with some ai.

(50:56):
If they say it's not 100 rightnow, it's been, say, a more like
80, success, but I don't know,man, it's like.
Things like that are terrifyingand things.

Shaun (51:05):
Yes, it sounds scary being like, oh, what will people
know to believe?
But nathan pre-ai, there was alot of people who swore up and
down that obama was a muslim.
I get it kenya well, I'm justsaying, and they didn't even
need, they didn't even need likeactual, like you know, ai text
and stuff well, and that'sthat's the thing.

Nate (51:23):
It's like people just like to believe what they want to
believe and I 100, I get it.
You're absolutely right.
Like people are going tobelieve whatever they don't
believe, regardless.
If there's some ai, it's justlike now.
My, my concern is now like um,like oh, you know, this
politician said this and you'relike no, he really didn't say
that and you know it was takingthat context.
Here's the speech where he saysyou know where they got that

(51:44):
clip from?
And if you listen to what hesaid before and after that, he
didn't.
That's not what he was saying.
They're like ai, I mean, peoplesaid that, even like in earlier
than this.
It's just still.

Shaun (51:53):
It's very I actually mean , I also remember all those
videos too, people being likelook, they have lizard eyes, and
all this has had impressedphotos, yeah well, there's
actually a great example too ofthis.

Nate (52:04):
There's a comedian, um, oh , what's his face?
Uh, who cares?
Um, he was talking about how hewas talking to his dad and his
dad like told him, oh, you know,tommy lee jones is gay.
And the guy's like, oh, really,okay, whatever.
And then, going forward forlike 10 years, he was telling
people that tommy lee jones isgay and then finally, one day
because you know, he's fairly,this comedian is actually fairly
well known um, yeah, I'mtotally blanking on his name.

(52:27):
He's in that he's in a podcastwith the guy does the bear or
the machine sorry, the bear doyou talk about?
Uh, yeah, it's not the guy, notthe machine, but his, like his
friend.
Yeah, they do that two bears umpodcast, whatever.
Anyway, he was talking.
But then he actually metsomeone who knew timmy lee jones
, he's worked.
And the guy's like, oh, yeah,tommy lee jones gay.
He's like, no, he's not kids,he's, I, I know him, he's not.

(52:50):
And then he called thecomedian's, like I called my dad
and told him that and dad, hisdad's like, oh, I thought he was
, that was it, that was hisentire thing.
He thought that tommy jones gay, he spread, he's been spreading
around just because, because,yeah he thought so and so like
to your point.
That's how gullible people are.
It's just they hear somethingand they're like, oh yeah,
that's, and I've fallen for that.
I've fallen for that absolutely.

(53:11):
I mean, I remember like hell,there's a ton of things I've
heard and I took it at facevalue and fast forward to.
No, that wasn't true at all.

Shaun (53:21):
In fact, the opposite is true of whatever I heard well,
basically what what we'regetting at is nothing will
change with A&I.
People are still stupid andwill believe whatever they want.

Nate (53:30):
Sadly, that's kind of your right.
It's like on one hand itdefinitely has more scary stuff
to it, but on the other handpeople believe in shit even
without quote unquote.

Shaun (53:43):
When we were little kids in the late 80s or early 90s and
the news would actually havestories about people reporting
Elvis sightings that he wasstill alive.

Nate (53:50):
Remember that Nate.
That's a very common thing.

Shaun (53:52):
I remember that there was hundreds of reportings of Elvis
being alive in the early 90s.

Nate (53:57):
Hundreds of them.
Who gives a he?

Shaun (54:00):
faked his own death because the stress of being the
superstar was too heavy on him,but he wasn't a superstar
anymore.
I mean did he?
Yeah, he was.

Nate (54:11):
He was doing stuff in Vegas.
I mean, I'm not saying, hewasn't like a nobody.

Shaun (54:16):
Yeah, you too were doing stuff.

Nate (54:22):
No, I'm talking about when he died.
He was an absolute monster.
I'm not saying that at all likewhen he was blue suede shoes
and all that stuff.
He was huge people's womenscreaming, throwing their I
don't know heads at him, it'slike.
But when he died, when he wasfat elvis, we died alone on the
toilet pushing out whatevercrappy crap he shoved in his

(54:44):
face, like he wasn't Elvis, hewas.

Shaun (54:49):
Elvis.
You know what I mean Demandinghow big Elvis was when he died.

Nate (54:53):
Wait, not famous, how popular.

Shaun (54:57):
What did?

Nate (54:57):
you ask how.

Shaun (55:00):
Wasn't this like his second comeback special too, is
when he died about?

Nate (55:05):
Let's see.
We do know that Tommy passedaway August 97.
He was apparently well okay.
They say he's very popular, butit's from Elvis at
touchacoldcom, so I'm takingthat with a grain of salt.
Let's see.
Fuck Elvis, that's what I'msaying.
I hate Elvis.
He's stupid.
Like I don't know why peopleliked him so long after he died.
I mean, there is just.
It doesn't make sense to me whypeople still thought he was

(55:27):
alive, Because can you explainthat?
Can you explain why peoplethought Elvis was dead after he,
or still alive after he wassuper dead?

Shaun (55:35):
People like to believe in conspiracy theories, believe
that there's something biggerthan them, and that way, they
also know something that nobodyelse knows.
They know the truth behindsomething.
Everybody else is dumb, andthey are smart.

Nate (55:45):
I mean I do remember I did hear there's a little bit of
conspiracy about Tupac thinkinghe was still alive.
But I mean there's one thingabout dying alone on the toilet.
Is something else being shot inthe middle of the street?

Shaun (55:56):
So dying on the toilet is not a way for a man to die.

Nate (56:00):
I'm talking about public, public, like Tupac was killed in
public versus, you know, elvis,who died in private.
People say he changed society.
I mean maybe he did, I don'tknow he kind of he brought rock
and roll to the mainstream.
I think one of the reasons whybut then again, I think one of
the reasons why I don't likeElvis is like personal.
I mean just because all theseElvis, they I don't know, I

(56:22):
didn't like them.

Shaun (56:23):
So oh, you hate Elvis because his fans were D bags.
I see, yeah.

Nate (56:27):
Yeah, I'll go.
You know what I'll accept, thatyou know I'll.
I'll go ahead and set that I.
I met a lot of Elvis fans.
The grand majority were D bags,and so maybe that's over my
dislike of elvis and just justthe rabid stupidity of like oh
no, we love elvis.

Shaun (56:47):
So people love elvis, so you basically got overcranked
and be like he was a nobody whodid nothing for the society.
Damn straight, and I'm standingby it.
Okay, yep, off top, top branded.
So now we know nate hates elvis, loves hitler and kills babies.

Nate (57:01):
Oh, one one thing See AI tools.
Ray LeClay lies about Nathan.

Shaun (57:07):
I don't even need AI tools.
I just got to copy and paste abunch of little text things.
So now your turn.
This one's kind of neat.
So it turns out in the baseballworld the Negro League stats are
actually going to finally beseen as authentic and be rolled
into the actual MLB stats whichis kind of cool because now all
of a sudden um, some people allof a sudden are going to be, uh

(57:30):
like shooting up the statsrecords and taking over a bunch
of the other guys.
Let's see what was the guy'sname.
Ah, I lost the page.

Nate (57:36):
That's kind of shame it took 24, 24 do it, but you know.

Shaun (57:40):
Yeah, but there is one guy who's immediately, now that
this is going through, he'sgoing to wind up being the
all-time hitting leader.
The slugging percentage and oneother stat.
That's, let's see, josh Gibson.
Apparently, people say that hewas actually the best baseball
player that nobody ever heard of, and I guess now, all of a
sudden, that his stats areofficial.
He's going to be shooting upthe record books and taking over

(58:00):
some of them too.
Yeah.

Nate (58:02):
I just pull it up.
Yep, josh gibson, he beat tycobb by, you know notorious
racist ty cobb I'm assuming isthat is that a decent amount?
0.372 over 0.367?
I mean, I don't know much aboutbaseball, so they should.
Yeah, the top six, like four ofthem are now are from the negro

(58:23):
league.
Sure enough, yep.
The career slugging now arefrom the negro league.
Sure enough, yep, careerslugging percentage is from the
negro league.
Uh, and for the record, I'msaying negro.
I really, I really can't reallyhear myself.
So I'm like, uh, negro, and I'monly saying that because that
is what it's called.
That's not what I say, but I'mjust saying that the league is

(58:44):
called the Negro League.

Shaun (58:47):
And they just prefer to pronounce it very slow and
deliberate.
So I realized.

Nate (58:52):
I said it twice, both of them Like they didn't hear.
The row Right, let's see.
Yeah, let's get a career basedon percentage.
Josh Gibson's on that to careerOPS.

Shaun (59:06):
On base percentage.
Okay, gibson's on that too.
Career ops uh what?
On base percentage?

Nate (59:08):
okay again, or on I think that's what it is, josh gibson.
He beat out babe ruth.
People are gonna be mad aboutthat oh, yes, yes, very much.

Shaun (59:14):
Uh, let's see, yeah, there are a lot of like old,
cranky white dudes who are justfestering with hate right now,
which is part of the reason Ireally like this is because you
know someone who's just like,can you?

Nate (59:24):
imagine Josh Gibson.
He has pushed out multiple onall these things.
And let's see single season onbase percentage.
Okay, he was third, so BarryBonds still went on in that one
twice over.
Barry Bonds had .609 one seasonand .52, .582 another season
and Josh Gibson squeaked in at.564.

(59:46):
Single season OPS.
The reverse happened.
Single season, all base per dayout.
Yeah, it looks like dude.
You're right, man.
This Josh Gibson guy justcrushed.
I never heard of the guy, to behonest.
Yeah, nor have I.

Shaun (01:00:01):
And now it's opening all the debates.
I'm like well, how would theseguys have played if they're in
the white people league, or viceversa?
Would Ted Williams been thatgood in the Negro League?

Nate (01:00:09):
So yeah, man, that's yeah, that's a great article.
I like this.

Shaun (01:00:12):
Yeah, I like that Once again.
Like you said, it's a shamethat it took 100 years or so.
But you know, hey, progress isprogress.
Played in 1943.
So man he played during theWorld War II was a raging I
think.
He died like the same yearJackie Robinson actually made it
into the majors, oh for real.
As the first black guy, I think, or like right around there.
So that shows you how long agohe was.

Nate (01:00:34):
But yeah, they came.
Yeah, and batting averages.

Shaun (01:00:36):
Now the Negro League players make up half of the top
10 in batting average.

Nate (01:00:40):
Yeah, a lot of angry people.

Shaun (01:00:42):
Oh, so many angry people, so many Especially, and it kind
of makes you wonder what'sgoing to happen.
If that's going to do anythingto like value of sports
memorabilia and stuff, I doubtit.

Nate (01:00:51):
I kind of doubt it too.
If anything, it might make itgo up a little bit.
Yeah, I mean, because I meanoutside of like bragging rights
or people getting mad about itbecause you know someone's going
say, no, uh, I don't care whatyou say.
Ty cobb is the best careerbatting average, right, you
can't say anything else.
That'll change my mind.
You know, babe, ruth is thecareer slugging percentage.
You know, that's it, that's allI'm saying.

(01:01:12):
So I heard babe ruth was like Idon't know, I, I don't know
that much, that much aboutbaseball, but I thought he, uh,
he struck out more than he hit,but he would like, when he hit,
it was, it was like, but he's, Iheard he struck, he struck out
more than he hit, but he wouldlike, when he hit, it was, it
was like, but he's, I heard hestruck, he struck out a lot.
Is that not accurate?

Shaun (01:01:29):
Oh, actually I wouldn't be surprised.
I do know that there are rumorsthat, since he was from an
orphanage and stuff, that he wasactually a mixed breed person.
It's half white, half black.

Nate (01:01:39):
Babe Ruth was.

Shaun (01:01:40):
Yeah, and that's why he was so good at baseball.

Nate (01:01:45):
Again, that's why he was so good at baseball.
Again, that's the conspiracytheory.
I don't know if it's true ornot.
Oh man, I didn't want all this,I just typed it in like well, I
was like I asked how manybatters, I just wanted to see
how many times you struck outand they just like here, like
from 1914, 1935, here's all thestats.

Shaun (01:02:06):
Like I don't know what.
I'm just thinking.
A bunch of numbers.
Apparently, the stat is BabeRuth had more strikeouts than
home runs hit, which is true,but basically Anybody who has
ever played baseball is the sameway.
That makes sense.
All the top 25 Hitters in homeruns have struck out More than
they've hit home runs.

Nate (01:02:18):
Right because they're swinging for the fences.

Shaun (01:02:20):
Yeah, exactly.

Nate (01:02:23):
That sounds right.

Shaun (01:02:24):
Honestly, I'd be willing to, actually.
Well, I guess striking out isdifferent than grounding out, so
never mind.
I was going to say everybody'sprobably struck out more than
they've hit balls, becausenobody really has an over
batting percentage of 500.

Nate (01:02:37):
Let's see yeah, he hit 714 home runs.
Struck out about 13, 30 timeshome runs.
Struck out about 13, 30 times.
He walked 2062.

Shaun (01:02:47):
Had John Goodman play him in a movie.
So basically he struck one homerun for every 1.48 strikeouts,
the all-time person who struckout the most would be Richie
Jackson.

Nate (01:02:58):
Of course.
Then there was Eddie Gatel.
He's the smallest player toappear in a Major League
Baseball game, eddie Gatelato, Ithink he only played one, he
only played, so that almostfeels like it could be like a
novelty kind of thing yeah, heonly played one game and it was
um, I was just wondering,because I remember some heard
some like story about someonereally short, so they just
always get balls.
But yeah, this, this guy, heonly played one game.

(01:03:20):
That doesn't count.
I agree with you on that and ofcourse and, of course, like my,
my uh search criteria that I puton there my wife would be upset
with.
I was like because I didn'tthink I need no mode go I didn't
think, little person untilafter I already typed in the
other one gotcha.

Shaun (01:03:42):
Well, you can always fall back on the.
It's better than what ourparents would have said about
him yeah, I actually forgotabout this.

Nate (01:03:49):
Have you seen that tiktok video of the guy?
He uh read.
The title video shows michiganman with suspended license
driving while joining zoom courthearing oh yeah, I saw that, oh
my god, that was amazing I likethe look on the judge's face
when he's like are you drivingright now?

(01:04:09):
well, it's the look of both andI really wish I saw the
prosecutor's face like the.
This dude he's just likefighting, laughing and the dude
who I I like that.
That amuses me.
What amuses me more is the theguy who actually realized what
he did.

Shaun (01:04:26):
He's like you can see, there's a, there's a specific
moment where you can see a clickand it says like oh, yeah.

Nate (01:04:31):
He's like are you driving?
He's like, oh, I'm just, I'mpulling into my doctor's office
like no man, I'm not driving,I'm parking.
There's a difference yeah like,oh man, you just, you just
messed up pretty bad and andthat judge didn't go.
Oh, oh, this is funny, we'llgive it a pass.
He's just like you're going tojail.

Shaun (01:04:49):
Yeah, he did not look too amused by that.

Nate (01:04:52):
Yeah it's just, oh man, he's like I don't know why he'd
do that.
Like, yeah, I can't think of areason either it's called a lay
whoops.
Oh yeah, you know who else diedthis month?
Roger corman.
Not know that size of the lambsdeath race 2000 was amazing.
Uh, oregon officials closed theentire coast to muscle
harvesting.
Do the shellfish poisoning?

(01:05:13):
Have you heard that it's?

Shaun (01:05:14):
closer to you.

Nate (01:05:16):
Uh, actually, no, I haven't yeah, apparently they're
like, there's a unprecedentedoutbreak of shellfish poisoning
that's sticking at least 20people.
Which is it red tide or no?
Apparently like, uh, it's justthese of shellfish poisoning
that's sick of at least 20people.
Is it red tide?
No, apparently it's just.
These shellfish actually havethis paralytic venom and it's
just normally.
It's not a big deal, but it'sjust.

(01:05:36):
It's become an issue, and sothey had to close down the
entire beach and they're notallowed to look for mussels
anymore right now, because it'sapparently it's pretty potent.
If you get affected by potent,if you get, if you get affected
by it, you get get ill within 30to 60 minutes and there's no,
there's nothing new for you.
You just have to live throughit.
Um, it's like shellfishpoisoning yep like nose to the

(01:05:57):
mouth, lips vomiting, diarrhea,shortness of breath and
irregular heartbeats in severecases.
No, and it's called psp.
Uh, not to be confusedplaystation portable right, like
you're stuck, oh, I can't stop.
In severe cases, it's calledPSP PlayStation Portable Right
Like you're stuck, oh I can'tstop.
I gotta look away from places.
Portable.

Shaun (01:06:11):
Actually, that is what Red Tide is, though is PSP, just
so you know.

Nate (01:06:15):
Okay, so yeah, and also it looks like Washington had to
close some beaches too.

Shaun (01:06:19):
Okay.
So, yeah, if it's Red Tide,then I've heard of that.
Okay, red tide, then I've heardof that.
Okay, yeah, I didn't say itdidn't say red tide, this
article, so that's what?
Yeah, it happens every fewyears.
Yeah, it comes on those andthey're like whatever you comes
on news and they're just like,uh, yeah, don't eat shellfish,
you you'll die.
Yeah, it has to do with, likealgae blooms off the coast and
stuff.

Nate (01:06:34):
I think it's one of those things that kind of happens as a
cycle every few years okay,like I'm looking at this article
, like they don't mention redtide on here at all, and so I
guess maybe the person who wrotethis article didn't doesn't
know the fuck red red tide isyeah, yeah, but if you google uh
psp, it'll call it red tide,okay yeah, so apparently it's a
pretty bad and it tastes theworst.
It's the worst it's been for.

Shaun (01:06:54):
Um, this is one of the worst red tide is a popular, a
natural population explosion oftoxic microscopic plankton and
so it will continue testing, butthis particular one is
shellfish, shellfish toxins Iguess plankton are shellfish.

Nate (01:07:06):
What the fuck are you talking about?
Because, uh, my brother-in-lawis allergic to shellfish and he
can't have.
You know, like, I know he'seating plankton, but you know
that in the family of, uh,shrimp and whatnot.
Yep, I've heard of red tie, butI guess it didn't put that
together and this articledoesn't mention red tie at all.

Shaun (01:07:22):
So and maybe they thought it was like a racist term or
something Like I can't post that, can I?
That doesn't sound right.
I think I heard my racistgrandfather use that.

Nate (01:07:32):
Isn't that roll, that's roll tide.

Shaun (01:07:34):
Yep, and apparently, since it is just plankton that
carry it, it's basically onlyshellfish, really, that get it.

Nate (01:07:40):
Yeah so, but they've closed up a bunch of beaches
over there in your neck of thewoods.

Shaun (01:07:43):
Lobster meat, crab, shrimp and most fin fish do not
accumulate the toxin.

Nate (01:07:50):
Yeah, for a second there.
When I first read it I thoughtthe mussels were doing it Like
ah, the mussels, they'refighting back the story.

Shaun (01:07:54):
So did you hear about Vince McMahon getting sued by
that one lady for sexualtrafficking and this, and that I
didn't, and he's guilty?
No, anyway, he's guilty.
No, um, anyway, she's got thelawsuit going on vince mcmahon,
but the government actuallystepped in and said hey, we want
you to hold off on this lawsuitbecause we have our own lawsuit
coming through and we'reinvesting in vince mcmahon for
all sorts of bad stuff.
So, uh, maybe we'll lump thesetwo lawsuits together.

(01:08:15):
So vince is kind of boned yeah,that didn't sound good.

Nate (01:08:19):
Yeah, that didn't sound good at all.
Yeah, I'm not a fan of this man, not even a little bit, but
he's entertaining.
I mean, over the years, yeah, Ithink the only thing I like
about makes a man it's not evenI like, it's just like the
nostalgia factor.
You know, like I remember Iliked wwf when I was a kid, but
you know, I even saw him when hewas up there doing stuff like
doing this goofy walk orwhatever, and he got all jacked

(01:08:40):
for some reason.
Um, but now man, yeah, yeah,then I started paying attention.

Shaun (01:08:45):
Villain though.
So that's one reason I kind oflike him.
He acts as a good villain,which apparently isn't that much
of a stretch for acting.

Nate (01:08:52):
I think I started changing my mind about him when I saw
that documentary about Bret Hart.
He snuck in a recording devicewith Vince McMahon and basically
said, okay, he's like, hey, I'mleaving this, I'm going to WCW.
I understand, I can't be thechampion anymore.
Instead of me getting beat, canwe be a draw or whatever?

(01:09:12):
And Vince McMahon's like, yeah,no problem.
And then during the match hegets pinned for a second.
And Vince McMahon's like, callit.
And so he made a move.
It's like, ah, maybe VinceMcMahon's a piece of shit.
And then I started hearing allthe other stories.
I'm like, oh, okay, yeah, thisguy's evil.

Shaun (01:09:29):
So basically what you're saying is all Asians are alike.
I like Hitler no-transcript.
