(00:04):
Hello, ladies and gentlemen, Welcometo the rundown. Hey Brian, Uh,
how you doing? How's things onyour end? Oh? You know?
Samue Samo had a horrible migraine attackthis week. Don't know what the
fuck was going on with me,but I guess slave is right. I'm
sorry you had to deal with that. That sounds annoying. Let's so let's

(00:31):
watch a thing I'm gonna do Hickeyto start? Shall we just st cold
open? And I'm wlagging because ofcourse I'm lagging. Discord is such a
shoddily made piece of software. Ilove it. Don't just love this.
This is just fucking great, andwe can't have nice things. Oh my

(01:00):
cells, at least in their thinking, is actually weirdly, counterintuitively quite reasonable,
because insuls are like, no onewants to do me, and then
the world is like, yeah,it's actually the dude who are in cels

(01:22):
that go out and try every night. That are the delusional ones, Like
all right, I've been striking outsix hundred days in a row, but
tonight is my night. I puton extra colgne so I know that the
ladies ladies will be all over me. Very funny A very funny guy,

(01:45):
very funny. Indeed, I justthere's just a part of me on some
level that just doesn't you know.And some of the comments were like we
which were very funny to me,where we're all just like women and then
like men with that with their headout of their ass, like we tell
them what's wrong, they choose notto listen. Well, it's funny you

(02:07):
brought this up. I was actuallyjust watching a video a little bit about
this subject. Do you know Heaventhat we are now living in the future?
Do you know why? Why?Oh wait? Oh wait wait wait?
Is it because are you talking aboutlike motherfuckers using AI to like talk

(02:28):
with people on Tinder? Well?AI women? Right, But then there's
this guy who actually created a couciebox. He actually made a coucie box.
What a kucci box pretty much apocket pussy connected to the Internet,

(02:51):
and it's called the orifice. Okay, first of all, I think porn
hub already has like a pocket pussythat can like that, Like some high
level porn stars have like had theirshit modeled into and you could like have
that shit change and they get andevery time you use it, like they

(03:12):
get like a piece of money orsome shit. I don't fucking know,
like like like that. I feellike I feel like if that's what they're
using for that technology already exists,what is its open source or some ship
that, because that would be fuckingcreepy. I think it's somebody who like
actually went into the like AI girlfriendesque experience and tried to like create an

(03:35):
apparatus to go along with that,because like it's pretty much gamifying sex dog.
We are in the future and notthe future I want to be in.
Not the future I want to bein, but we are in the
future. I want listen people say, like I wanted star Trek, not

(03:58):
cyberpunk. Oh perfect. I can'tget over this. I really saw that
today. It was like a videothat they released. I would think a
week ago or a few days agoat least, But I mean, I
just don't like where we're headed.No, I want off of this Bowzo

(04:23):
bus. I want off. Iheard I heard a turn somebody said,
if you if. I heard somebodysay a great thing the other day that
if you work for a wage,if you work if if if the if
the if, the money you earncomes in the form of a wage,
regardless of what you do. You'rea worker no matter how much that wage

(04:46):
is, and you aren't setting andyou and you should and you should side
with workers, even if you hadlight even if you have the appearance of
wealthy. I mean, I don'tdisagree. Mm hmm, I just don't
either. It it goes by justI think. I mean, it's like

(05:10):
I feel like, you know,especially with you know, Tesla, Amazon,
Trader Joe's, and a bunch ofother conglomerates that we're trying to like
sue the government under the under theguys that the NLRB is not constitutional.

(05:30):
Uh, you know the one thingthat like, like, I think they
forget that the NLRB exists to protectthem. The n LRB doesn't exist to
protect workers. The NLRB exists toprotect companies because you because originally, originally,

(05:51):
you know, like this, thenl RB was the compromise because what
used to happen with unions and unionworkers is they would come to your house,
drag you out by your hair,and beat you half to death in
front of your wife and children.And they were like, we can't keep

(06:13):
having this happened, but we alsocan't keep politicians. Politicians didn't like that
their friends kept getting beaten half todeath or to death by work by abuse
workers, who, by the way, we're also voting constituents. So if
they so, they so they basicallywere going to between a rock and a

(06:33):
hard place. And so their solutionwas this middle ground. If they try
and get rid of the NLRB andget rid of that middle ground, eventually
Amazon workers are just going to lightthe fucking warehouse on fire and then probably
violently beat the shit out of theirmanagers. And we live in the Internet

(06:58):
age, like Jeff Bezos's address ispublic, Like there's multiple addresses are all
public. Yeah, and so it'slike all you need is like some workers
from some nearby city to just say, fuck it, we're gonna get an

(07:19):
Ihonda ship boxes and lay that bitchon fire. He they just got to
be right about one of them,and Bezos is cooked quite literally. So
yeah, and so that's that's alsowhat surprises me about these billionaires not wanting
to create any type of protection becauseit's also protection for themselves. It's like,

(07:40):
hey, if you're not having peopleeat fucking cat food when they're sixty
seventy years old, you have nobodywho's planning on creating a you know,
a rebellion. Yeah, it's likeyou there, They're America is very like
the problem WITHNES is that our generationvery much is not culturally the same as

(08:05):
the previous generation. You know.And when I say the previous generation,
I'm not talking about the Millennials,because you and I are gen Z.
I'm talking about Gen X and theBoomers like I. I applied to Staples
yesterday and I had two interviews,and I'm gonna see on Monday whether or
not I got a job there.But you do not have one tenth of

(08:28):
the allegiance to Staples that somebody whowould be in the baby Boomer or Gen
X generation would, because if youtalk, if you talk to one of
them, they would say to you, the Staples is the greatest job ever.
And if I don't get the job, then I'll go work somewhere else.
But if I do get the job, then I'm gonna make sure I
climb up the corporate ladder and Ipull myself up by the bootstraps. Trust

(08:50):
me, I know, dog.I was in there waiting for my interview
in the in the fucking office areasection where they sell like cheap ass chairs
and desksines shit, And I wasjust like standing there on my phone waiting
and some a gen X man cameup and says, do you work here?
And I'm like, nah, no, I got hopefully I got an

(09:11):
interview today. I'm waiting for myinterview. And he's like, oh,
well then this will be Then thiswill be some great practice for you.
So I'm looking for X, Yand Z D and I'm like, sir,
I don't work here. I don'tknow and then hey, he doubles
down and says, oh, wellyou should, Well you should because this
would be good practice for you,and keeps going and I'm like, so,

(09:33):
I don't know where any of thatis, and then he got like
kind of snippy with me. Itis like, oh okay, and then
just walked off. At least itended somewhat cordially. I had three I
was in that. I was inthere. Within twenty minutes of me being
in there waiting for an interview,three people over the age of fifty came

(09:54):
up to me unprompted, asking mewhere shit was. Well, you do
give stables worker. I'm not gadThey're not wrong on the vibe. No,
you're not wrong. They're not wrongon the vibe, but you know,
even then, I will say thatat the end of the day,
I you know, my thing isis that like I've really I'm starting to
I saw. I heard somebody onTikTok have a really excellent take the other

(10:18):
day, and it was and iskind of funny for me. It's like
it was kind of like it's oneThere's many reasons why it's difficult for me
to find an entry level programming job, meant somewhere outside of my control.
Some of them are within my control, some of them were just because the
market sucks. But one of themthat I thought was really interesting was something
I pointed out that it's very trueon you know, in regards to fuck

(10:39):
you Windows, I hate you.One of the things that I have found
is that they when looking for corporatepositions, want a gen X or a
Boomer. They want someone who's agen X or a boomer, and they

(11:01):
want and and even if I,even if I have over like almost a
decade of experience, they want andI'm looking for an entry level position despite
all that, they still want agen X or a Boomer. And then
the bullshit is, if you everdo get that job, and you're not
a gen X or a boomer.Even if you were, you still gotta

(11:22):
fucking uh, what's it go on? Do training for the job? What's
the point? I don't understand thatit is an entry level position supposed to
be entry level? What is thisbullshit? And especially since you have the
fucking you'll have the certification, you'llhave the fucking college major that actually shows
the ship. Then you went intothe fucking school to learn. I have

(11:43):
a technical certificate from the europe program. But good point. And you want
to know where this do? Youwant to know where the where this originates
from? By the way, itoriginates from the o wait housing crisis where
the economy is so bad and youhad of people blue like white collar workers
who like all lost their fucking jobsand all bunch of companies went under.

(12:07):
And so what you end up havingis you have very experienced individuals with ten,
fifteen, twenty years of sometimes twentyyears of experience doing asking for jobs
that are significantly lower than what theywould have gotten for the eight thousand crisis
and what was happening. But justlike when you're over like why somebody with

(12:31):
a college master degree doesn't fucking applyfor a manager position at McDonald's. What's
that phenomenon called where you're over overqualified? There we go, It doesn't that
happen at these fucking higher up positionsAt a certain point. If you're an
entry level person but you've been workingin accounting or fucking business for twenty plus

(12:54):
years, shouldn't you be considered asenior associate at that point, or at
least you should be considering senior associatepositions. That's so the point the point
is is no, No, youmake a good point, and I'll get
to that in a second. Butwhat the repaying is in the aftermath of
the oage crisis, housing crisis,where the economy was fucked and jobs,

(13:18):
there's plenty of demand for jobs,but not enough people were who shouldn't have
been paid. A lot more werelow balling, and so what happened is
is that a lot of corporate Americagot really used to high quality individuals working
lower wage jobs and doing things thatwere like very much like not of their

(13:41):
pay scale. And the problem isis that even as the economy uprighted itself,
those expectations didn't change because they really, really really liked the idea of
somebody of five to fifteen years ofexperience coming in to be a middle level
developer. Well, I like,I'm I'm people are asking me like I'm

(14:07):
a I think confidence wise with myskills, I'm a junior level developer.
The problem is is that they wantfor a junior level, they want five
years of experience, and a lotof these jobs they want five years of
experience in a corporated like setting upjust for a junior level. Junior level
is entry level. By the way, now pause very quickly. I want
to preference this because this is gonnabe weird to say. Okay, I

(14:31):
do Jordan Peterson, trust me,trust me. They're giving I'm giving you.
I'm giving you a chance. JordanPearson is a kook, but I'm
like, I trust you. Onthe psychology end of things, where he
actually has, you know, intelligence, on where he's actually smart and not
talking about society but psycho still debatable, but continue psychologically, I think he

(14:56):
was right when he said that peopletend to lack conscientiousness in these types of
jobs, especially corporate s jobs,because I think you kind of get bogged
down into the mundane day to daytask of whatever job that fits that description,
and then you don't really feel likeyou're valued enough to go get a

(15:20):
raise or go get an increase inpay. And I think that point is
very, very true. I thinkthat's true. I just I'm kind of
at a point in my life professionally, just like I only stay at a
place for the people. You know. I stayed at JP Morgan Chase for

(15:43):
as long as I wanted to leavethem a lot. But the only reason
I stayed as long as this isI even though I felt like there were
gaps in my learning and I wasn'tgiven the space I needed to learn,
the things I was learning were incredibleand they were from higher level programmers better
than myself, and I didn't wantto go away from that necessarily. So
you know, I love the peopleI worked with. I just it just

(16:07):
it's just it just wasn't you know, it was just well, that's exactly
what the fuck I say about theschool I was going to. I hated
the faculty, the admin's administration side, but I love the teachers. I
loved what I was being taught.So that's why I never talked shit on
the school, fully, But Iwill talk ship all day on the Adamin
side. Yeah, yeah, it'sjust being counting. But yeah, that's

(16:33):
just so. But like yeah,like the whole there's the issue with like
the job market right now is ifwe're not talking about industry specific things.
Uh, it's it's a combination ofnot wanting to pit, wanting to run
a skeleton crew as much as possible. It is it is that it is

(16:56):
Uh the it's just I just it'sjust the fucking price gouging. Man.
It's just you know, me andMetal have to be out of this apartment
and on this apartment in this house, you know, by like damn near
a month from now, Like Ineed to get I need a job and

(17:17):
I need to start working, youknow. And it's I can rock and
knock you know, some payout inMay. It's just difficult. It's just
it's just hard. I get it. It's hard, and it's it's just
I and this is me being vulnerablefor a second. It's just I worked

(17:45):
so hard to get at a pointwhere I could have money and do what
I want with it and have fun. This worked. I've spent years learning

(18:07):
how to do that, what Iknow how to do, and I just
cannot get a fucking job in itput the life of me. I'm gonna
probably hit up you pro and it'salumni help and see if I can beg
them for Like, hey, listen, I got terminated from JP Morgan because

(18:33):
nobody in nobody at the fucking office, you know, wears a mask.
Nobody at the fucking office like watchesthe fucking none of the fucking men wash
their hands when they leave the goddamnbathroom, you know, and so disgusting.
And it got sick like every twoweeks like clockwork. At like I
got we got COVID over Christmas.I got sick every two weeks like clockwork

(18:55):
after that, all the way untilMarch. And at that point, I'm
like, I'm not fucking being intothe office if I can avoid it.
And I don't know, it's juststressful, It's just stressful, and it's
just I you know, it's Idon't know how you guys are living in
fuckingt like Los Angeles, and likewith with the cost of fucking living.

(19:19):
The cost of living here in Delawarehas gone up significantly since you've been gone.
You know, I metow wanted tomove to Philly, but're just not
gonna be able to afford it,And it sucks because that's probably where most
more of the opportunities are for beingperfectly fucking honest. Yeah, but also

(19:40):
Matto does have her car, Philly, isn't that car? She doesn't have
a car, doesn't she doesn't havea car. Do you do? You
want to hear? Do you?You don't? You don't know? Metal
lost her car, didn't you?Yeah? No, you don't tell?
Oh my god, this story,My brother in Christ, this story,
I have buckle the fuck up.Okay. Do you know Meta had that

(20:00):
cute little great lime green thing,right, Okay, So that the summer
of twenty twenty two, she's stayinghere. She was planning on working the
whole summer banking some money. Thatdidn't happen. You don't know why didn't
happen. The fucking alternator belt onher on her h on her car,

(20:22):
crap like snapped, okay, Andso she had the way to get a
new one. She sent it tothe fucking mechanics place. They took.
When I tell you that, thesemechanic buckers took two months. Two she
had her car a week. Shehad her car a fucking week in two

(20:44):
months they didn't have that shit wewere creeping up on when she was supposed
to go back. And then shegets a call from them and says,
basically, the car is fucked.It costs more to it would cost more
to replace the engine than it wouldhave to replace again to buying a whole
new car. And so what happensis that I want to remind you that
this car is her freedom. Thiscar was allowed her to leave a house

(21:07):
that she just didn't feel comfortable orsafe in. And this was her freedom.
This was her ability to leave.Mm hm. It was her like
she was she it was who wasI think her? I think it was
the first car she bought herself.Like she loves it. She loved it.
It was her little green bullet trashed. So her grandfather comes through,

(21:30):
God bless this man, good man, this man his wife hadn't been been
for about a year and gives inlens and Meadow her grandma's car. Her

(21:51):
grandma's car is a Mercedes, acustom Mercedes Lowrider, wooden steeler wheel varnished,
a little nice orn eight clock onthe dash, heated steering wheels,
heated seeds like the perfect old ladycar. Mm hmm. Gorgeous Matt black

(22:15):
one with a sheen, wonderful,very thirsty, a very thirsty car.
Guess very much. I I Iheld, I I hate, I held
I was going. I was payingfor a good chunk of the gas on

(22:36):
her way to get to Chicago.I know you were crying. It was
that like me and Medow were crying. Both of us went like went broke
trying to pay for that ship.Oh so what ended up happening is it
wasn't no thirty dollars to get toNew York and back. Huh Nah,

(22:57):
I was not. It was thirstlike stopping multiple times in a day,
thirsty. So and you've done theride from you know, Delaware to Chicago,
so you know it's like it's asolid it's solid twelve hours mm hm.
So so one day, Meadow isyou know, Meadow is uh you

(23:26):
know about to uh, you know, it's typical Sunday, her Viva,
her roommate would go to you know, they don't they take the car.
They go to Trader Joe's, theygo to the Asian Market, they go
to they go to the Aldies.They get all the groceries for the week.
Is cheaply as possible. Normal stuff, right, everyone carpools go,

(23:47):
except not there. I want toremind you that this car was a drivable
shrine to her dead grandmother, whodied of COVID a year prior. I
believe it. I could imagine probablywasn't touched nothing. It's just he just

(24:10):
didn't want to talk. He's justnature. It was okay, he just
didn't want to It's not there.It's been two weeks since they last went
to the grocery store. Somebody stolethat car. H They found it in

(24:30):
a crumpled a ditch. The groundedin a crumpled heap in a ditch in
in Montana. What the three threestates away? What? That's crazy,
that's crazy. Yeah. So needlessto say that it was particularly card On

(25:00):
Meadow because her grandfather had said itlike was actually he he when he when
he found out about this, andlike because the insurance and all that,
and she had to call him andcall the insurance and he got the money
back on the car, I likeon some of the money back in the
car. He was like, I'mreally upset about it. And she's like,
I know, I'm so sorry.She's like, no, I was
going to give this you a Christmasso you would have a car for yourself

(25:22):
forever, and and I and andand I and and now we're just like
I'm we're going hopefully I get mytax returned it and it's as much as
it says it is, and we'reprobably going to use most of that for
a fucking car. Damn, damn. So yeah, so we've been so

(25:47):
so so we're are are capital asstuck in this house. Thank god.
Our roommate is a love bug andlets us use her car and as long
in the metal will drive, willwake up, drive her to work,
go back, biger up, soshe'll have a car for the days.
It's especially importance has pete. Soit's just, you know, we're just
it's a lot. It's insane.Oh lord, what's going on with you?

(26:14):
Let's see starting my own podcast checkthat out when it's released, Cold
Shakes and Discourse. It'll eventually beout. I'll let y'all know. We're
still developing ship. But aside fromthat. Oh, they just released the
fallout for next Gen update. I'mnot sure if you knew about that.
That did. Yeah, ultra widescreenand widescreen mode, you know, the

(26:37):
usual, just smoking, chilling beand me. Also, I'm looking to
get a job at a smoke shop, so that'd be cool. That's right
up your fucking alley. Also,I think my federal deposit just head a
good ship. Yeah, so youknow that's a little bit. That's a
that's more helpful. We're going tocash that out standard on Tuesday. Now.

(27:07):
I just have to leave at mystate refund. That'll be soon too.
So you shouldn't have the way toolong. I shouldn't, but at
least at the very at the veryleast, I told him. I told
him Meadow, like, hey,listen, I want to say five hundred
dollars for me to be able to, like you know, have said,

(27:27):
I have my phone bill set upand everything else. Also, I need
to buy the Gold Road for thenew Artist Worlds expansion that's coming out.
And I also need to buy theshatt of the R true DLC. If
I'm being honest, I should probablydo right probably do right now, because

(27:51):
I don't know when I'm gonna havemoney union because I'm born and ship that's
from stables where else or you're blyingshop right a lot. It just places
within walking distance, like if it'swithin a mile of here, I can
walk to it and be there withinlike fifteen twenty minutes. Easy peasy,

(28:12):
Hello, Mom, are you comingto say hid to Bryan? No,
you cannot escape me. I willuse you for content. What's o?
Kitty? He's a kitty? Pleaseplease please? He's he's he's like,

(28:32):
please free me like I love you, your bank and I love you very
much. I'm not sure if youcan see you back there, but I
can see I can see a voidon the couch. Yeah, yeah,
yeah, he's there, just passedout. He loves to sit on my
goddamn lap when I'm playing fucking games. Yeah, I mean, is that

(28:57):
a problem. It's it's that forme. For me, it's like they
like to nudge my hands when I'mplaying on my computer. It's cute.
I like it. Are you gonnaplay all dinnering? Probably not? I
mean, I I am in lovewith AC six, don't get me wrong,

(29:19):
but it is not the same game. And that's for sure. For
sure. Well, I think thisis that. I will say, Uh,
I don't know. There's a newgame that I'm gonna be playing.
It's called Another Crabs Treasure. It'sa it's a it's a soul's burning game
that I've seen that I've been actuallywaiting for it to come out for years
at this point. Uh, Andit released yesterday, So I'm gonna probably

(29:42):
do a live stream of it tonightat some point or this weekend, and
that should be fun. But yeah, uh, it's it's it's uh that
your souls are microplastics in the ocean. Ah, yeah, it's it's it's
it's a it's a sweet little game. I'm excited to give them a shot.

(30:03):
What have what have you? Haveyou been playing any any Fallout games
with sides four lately? Because theyknow that after the Fallout Show, you've
been probably unlocking that hyper fixation alittle bit. I want to get into
moddingh Fallout New Vegas and Fallout threetogether to make what is It a Tale
to Waste? Oh? You sawthat video? Yeah, I want to

(30:27):
do that. But I like Ilike I like that you watch my videos
from time to time. I thinkI saw the I G one. I
think I g n one. Ithink they did video. It's honest,
honest to god, it's just onthe Tale of Two Wastelands forum and here

(30:48):
it's the uh, it's. It's. It's kind of a bit of a
blast from the past in a certainway, in a way that's like,
honestly, I kind of like Ienjoy it. I think it's uh here,
just an exit it to you bythe way. Okay, cool,
but uh yeah, no, it'sgot the installation instructions there for you,

(31:11):
honest, honest to god, honestto God. It's it's. It's literally
as simple as like downloading Fallout three, fall Up, downloading Fallout New Vegas,
downloading the installer, and then justpointing to the two games data folders
and letting the installer do its thing. What I wanted to ask was does

(31:33):
it matter if I have it onSteam or Epic Game Store? Does that
matter? It shouldn't matter in theslightest, okay, just as long as
I own the full the Game ofthe Year editions of both right right give
of the Year editions or all theDLC Game of the Year editions are yeah

(31:56):
cool, because uh, I'm notsure if you know, but yo,
one thing I gotta say at thegame story, say what you want about
their data sharing whatever, but thosefucking free games come and clutch sometimes other
times they're trash, but they comeand clutch sometimes. That's what the Microsoft,
that's what the game passes for us. Like, yeah, but I

(32:17):
like being able to actually like ownit, like I get with don't get
me wrong with game Pass and PlayStationPremium. I like having the you know,
pay fifteen, pay seventeen, boom, you have it. You can
even stream the shit. I justlike being able to say, no,
this is mine. If I takemy console off fucking online, then I
could still have it, no question. Yeah. I've personally been kind of

(32:40):
like getting mildly into the idea ofcracked versions, owning cracks versions of games
so I can like just keep themin a folder forever perpetuity. Personally,
you know, it's just I thinkit's just I want to I don't know,
there's a part of me that wantsto like archive stuff and like a
like a like gobblin mode just beAnd how awful people like Nintendo have been

(33:01):
recently speaking of which, did youhear about that their their copyright strike to
Gary's Mod? What really? Yeah, so apparently Nintendo's send copyrights theason assists
to the toy the Gary's Gary's Mod. The one dude who who manages and

(33:22):
updates Gary's mod and says, hey, they've got a bunch of Nintendo stuff
on your on the Steam workshop,get fucking rid of it. And he
basically put out a thing that says, hey, we got to go through
twenty years of content y'all have madeon one of the most user generated centric

(33:45):
video games on valves platform. Cany'all just do us a favor and like,
take it down if you can andnot uplock it again? Please?
Here's my fucking question for you,goddamn Nintendo fanboys. At what point are
they gonna do something where y'all finallyturn their fucking your fucking backs on that

(34:06):
nothing. It's a cult, it'sa it's a And here's the thing.
I'm in love with certain Nintendo ips. I love Nintendo frocks, but I'm
not saying no, no, no, not even for them to go strictly
software y'all to take a for y'allto take a fucking stand and be like
Nintendo, y'all are doing the fucktoo much. Y'all are doing the most.

(34:28):
Y'all are doing way too much.We gotta pull it back just a
little bit because it's calm the fuckon because also it's not even like that
fucking guy put it in the game. If he himself put it in the
game, I'd be like, Okay, I got it, But there's no
fucking way he did. Over twentyover like twenty five years. That's how
long fucking Gary Maude has been around. It's it's it's insane. It's insane.

(34:51):
It's insane, that is you know. Uh, But you bitches won't
ever fucking turn your guy damn backson them because they got fucking Mario and
fucking Pokemon and fucking Kirby and fuckingall this shit, and you mofuckers will
never do it. And I knowit's more Legend of Zoda and shit like
that and Brawl and fucking Super SmashBrothers and shit. I get it.

(35:15):
I know which one which games youfuckers like, But goddamn, at a
certain goddamn point, can we fuckingcall can we call things things? Fall's
fadus fade exactly, I'd mean,goddamn. Yeah. Did you see that
picture of a Elon Musk at theFallout premiere? No? Oh, my

(35:40):
brother in Christ, I know helooked out of fucking place, like like
I want to show you the fuckingpicture. Nobody like this picture just looks
like nobody fucking like wanted him there. I believe that. Also it's Amazon.
Why the fuck is he there?He's fucking cloud shark, Like,

(36:07):
look at this fucking photo, dude, Like look at Todd Howard's face.
Bro Oh, he's like, whythe fuck is he here? Why is
he here? Like nobody like lookat this motherfucker's like, yo, should
I should I deck him in theback of the head for the vine.
There's not one person smiling. No, everybody looks uncomfortable that he's there.

(36:31):
Gotta love it, gotta love it. Uh, look at look at somebody
had the close up on uh likeon Todd like, you'll get your ass
out of here now before this JackieOak has me acting the most y for

(36:51):
real, and you don't want togo against fucking Todd not him. No,
Todd Howard gives me like Derek Shepherdfrom Great and Any Vibe, who's
like mad, chill, like superpiecey, like like like like loves peace,
super like nice. But then likethe moment he's put over the edge,
he just like not like out ofnowhere now Because I was watching Gray's

(37:13):
Anatome with Meadow today and we gotto the scene where like Derek wasn't able
to save a was unable to savea pregnant woman's life or whatever, and
like he had he took out twoparts of her brain or whatever, and
he was just like overwhelmed. Andthen Sloan comes up to him and says,
by the way, like, Iknow you told me not to do
it, but me and Lexi aredating and we're happy, and as like

(37:35):
this man is like like Derek islike hanging over the edge, like like
just like trying to feel what he'sfeeling. He's like and then So's like,
you know what, I deserve that? Actually no, I didn't deserve
that. I'm happy with her.And then and then he's like up again
and he's like, you know what, fuck it, I'm a punchy back
and then just start ruffing and tumblingas funny as hit. I love White

(37:59):
Woman one Piece, I can tellI love what and I arguably I want
to get into normal one piece,but I feel like I need to finish
grazing Attie first. I wish oneof your viewers were here who actually watches
One Piece, just to hear yousay that I would just love to know
what they think. Well, youknow what, if you want to,

(38:22):
if you want to light a fireon some people's ass when this video goes
live on YouTube, you can justshare the time stamp at three minutes,
at thirty eight minutes, at thethirty eight minute mark where I say that
shit, and then just like sothat that's the ship that they see,
and it'd be my fucking guess.I'm still the time, I'm still a

(38:43):
small YouTuber. Nobody's gonna see thisshit they need to. I wish you
already had millions of fans so everybodycould expose you for knowing your fucking mics.
I if I had a billion,if I had a million subs right
now and had the money and incomewith that shit, I would fucking be
weep most of my fucking backlog becauseI know that I've been an unhinged jackass

(39:04):
for most of my time, andit doesn't matter that I'm a changed person
now or I've learned how to expressmy personal opinions better in ways that are
more healthy. There's a reason youdon't see moist criticals early stream days.
True, that's just curated. Idon't know I think everybody should keep their

(39:29):
own shit, unless it's like extremelyfucking racist. Oh oh god, dall,
that's one thing I haven't done.I will say, like I,
you know, have have There probablybeen moments in my time online where I
was like not as informed about certainthings as I am now. Sure,
but I can look back at things. I think the Philip de Franco raut

(39:50):
to it where it's like leave itup or whatever, like I don't believe
that now, I you know,did believe it then. And I want
to be an example of how youcan grow and become a better fucking human
being. True. You know,Dodger Bullet with all that shit, blackface,
fucking Jimmy Fallon and Kimmel they bothdid it, like they both really

(40:16):
did it. I like to believeAnthony justin ay full, full, full
frontal that like Jimmy Fallon is likingunrepentant, like like barely managing alcoholic.
Oh shit, did you hear aboutis it Prank Island or some shit like

(40:37):
that? Uh? It was JohnnyKnoxville, Eric Andre and the Girl from
Precious And they would take people whowould you know when you say girl from
Precious, do you mean Monique,the black woman from Precious, the girl
the main character. Oh, theperson who played Precious, not her mom?

(40:58):
Yes, oh no, not hermom. Yeah. Sorry, I
always say Precious thinking that it's themain character. I think it is.
I don't know, I haven't seenit whatever. You know who I'm talking
about. They take people randomly whowill like pitch to them prank ideas and
it was a horrible fucking show.Supposedly it like already came out last year,

(41:19):
and there was this one prank wherethis gay couple and one of the
gay guys comes out with a family, and like, you see this man
sitting next to this guy who henow thinks has a whole family behind his
back, and he's crushed. Likeit's just pure evil, it's not even
funny. My man is just sittingon the couch, destroyed. He's like,

(41:43):
is this really your son? Andthe whole time, the guy who's
trying to play it off is tryingto play it off and being like,
look, how cute my son is. Isn't he amazing these questions, and
then finally it comes out that it'sa plank and he's like, I'm still
leaving you, nah, because here'sthe thing that's the type of shit like,

(42:04):
and here's the thing that sounds hardfor the course for Eric Andre.
That's kind of off brand for JohnnyKnoxville. Well, like, even with
Eric Andre, everybody that goes onthat show like knows what the fuck is
happening. Unless he's doing the skitstuff outside in public, then nobody knows
what the fuck is going on.But like ninety percent of the time when

(42:25):
it's actually the people involved, theyknow what's going on. This is a
weird fucking show. I know whatI'm getting myself into. It's like these
are people and also don't match Eric'senergy. He will he has less shame
than you. Oh and also supposedlyeric Andre was like, dog get me
off of this fucking show because JohnnyKnoxville kept tasing him the whole time.

(42:54):
You know what you be bad atthat? Like, listen, I understand
like you want to like, Idon't want I'm not mad at Johnny for
like, I want to stop beingtased, but I ain't mad that it's
happening. No, I will saylike he would like eric Andre would squirt
him with a fucking like squirt gunand then he would hold a taste him

(43:16):
like I gotta remember that Johnny Knottsvilleyea or jackass movies. No, I
knows fucked, Like yes, thequestion he's he's like like it was anybody
else that would be a salt.Probably probably I've never been tasted. I

(43:38):
don't want to be tasted. Yeah, fuck you. I don't think I've
ever been tased either, or likelike the the idea of Eric Audrey being
like, you give me the fuckoff this show. Johnny Knottsville keeps tasting
me. He's my hero, soI can't beat his ass. See I

(44:01):
think I think after like the thirdor fourth one where it wasn't supposed to
be on me anymore, I wouldjust start fighting. I would be like,
fucking Johnny, let's go, let'sgo fucking like like this, like
we're not even like filming this backroom ship, like you're just doing this
for fun, and I gotta beatto ass on principal, just on principle.

(44:22):
Well, No, the thing isis that like Eric Henry also knows
that if he presses, it's JohnnyKnoxville for being tased at all, you're
a bitch all Like he's Eric fuckingAndre like you gotta like like that's that's
a rough place to be in.Oh. Also, I do just want

(44:45):
to tell you one show that Ithink you would love. Watch the fucking
Rigs. That's a great show.That's a good show. Do what I
can do. It's on YouTube.I need to watch blah blah blahs.
It's all on YouTube. I slimonwatched it. What is it? It's
not by usy Pop. The sameperson who did has been Hotel. Oh

(45:07):
okay, yeah, I gotta beso honest. Wish I was more into
it because Keith David is in it. Not wish I was. I I
dug it a lot. I thoughtthat Brandon Rogers you knew you knew that,
right, Yeah, yeah, BrandonRoads is great. I liked it.
I liked it. Here's the thing, right, I approached it from

(45:30):
a perspective of this is not writtenfor me personally, But the music,
the score, and the quality ofanimation I think was enough for me to
like kind of get really interested init. Like I like it. I
like it a lot. For likethe music. I like the I like

(45:51):
a lot of the characters in thein the writing around it, and in
the in the premise you know,it's just on some level it's a little
too it is. It does havethat like twenty fourteen twenty fifteen Tumblr vibe
to it, which is not mybag but much but outside of that,
in the things surrounding it, Iliked it a lot. I thought it

(46:13):
was great. If I liked themusic, that's like, is it I'm
gonna be really I think Also thefact that Noelie and Allen were as obsessed
with it as they were definitely mademe even reject further. Yeah, no,
I I I kind of get that. I will say, like,
not that it's bad again, Ino, No, it's I think I

(46:35):
think it's definitely like for me,it's like when season two eventually comes out,
I'm probably gonna watch it, likeyou know, because like I you
know, I say what I like. Do you disagree with me when you
when I say like, music andscore is generally pretty damn good. The
animation. Animation is prettydamn good.Most of the characters are like intriguing enough
and like they were in you know, like in regards the story whatever,

(46:59):
Shore, I'm not super sold onit on some level. It's more of
just like I think, what whatdraws me to the show is more so
the character character writing for certain characters, the music, the animation, you
know, and the fact that thiswas, you know, a YouTube project
originally, which I like a lot. Hold on Bets calling me, we

(47:20):
were talking about I was the lastthing I said was is yeah. And
the other thing I like about itis the idea that it started on YouTube.
Pilot was on YouTube. Granted,I do a part of me does
feel maybe you should watch the pilotbefore you watch the show, because some
things are a little better explained,if I if I'm being honest, and

(47:42):
I definitely think that they wrote thefirst episode of the show with the expectation
that most of the people watching watchedthe pilot on YouTube. But yeah,
I'm currently watching the Book of BobaFett. I thought that was a pretty
good series. I thought so too. I will I will say, I

(48:06):
do know that a lot of andI'm gonna probably do like an independent podcast
where I talk about this at lengthmyself. But just the cliff notes is
I do understand where some of thediehard fans were coming from in regards to
why they didn't like it. There'snot enough shit going on to justify a

(48:27):
full series let alone. Is itonly one season? Only one season?
Yeah, like there wasn't enough.Nobody cares enough about the politics and most
icily to care about. Oh BobaFetzen in charge of this now awesome I

(48:47):
he's also supposed to be the Dominoof tattooy the entire planet. Yeah,
but you gotta understand in the grandscheme of shit, probably never going back
to tattooed again. I would bevery surprised if you see anything with Boba
fet ever again, because his storyis finished and well here we'll here.

(49:09):
Well, here's the thing. Ithink that this is the sendoff that needed
to happen. I think what Ihere's what I think, right. I
think that the Book of Boba Fatis a supplemental uh piece of the Mandalorian

(49:30):
and they wanted to tell the storyof Boba Fat, but they wanted to
give it more time and deference thanyou know, just like the little side
things going on. They didn't wantManda to be the focus, which honestly
I support. I genuinely do thinkthat the Book of well, I'm not
finished with it yet, so Ican't say this with certainty just yet.

(49:54):
I think the biggest problem that peoplehad with it, and they missed something
that they just don't want to admit, or they do. They do admit,
they're really salty about it, isthat Boba Fet, especially in the
first few episodes when we're doing theflashbacks to when he's with the Tuscans,
and he just doesn't feel like thebadass they painted him as in their minds,

(50:17):
because you have to remember that theway people thought about Boba Fet for
years was as of this like terrifying, badass bounty hunter who like who's like
one of the best in the field, and that this was like this war
that was like built up and abouthim in their minds, and this was
reflected in the legacy content as well. He's like this legendary bounty hunner,

(50:39):
and you know, with the bigDisney ret con that happened and the fact
that like you know, there's changesand shit, he he wasn't portrayed as
like this uber confident, super likelike he doesn't feel as like like he
feels like people probably felt on somelevel that Mando being the super competent,

(51:00):
like powerful, you know, warrioris what Boba Fat should have been,
which I get it, but alsobut where the series is in the canon
is not supposed to show him beinga badass. It's supposed to show him

(51:21):
surviving the Storylac Pit, surviving,you know, getting fucked up from the
Storylac Pit and living with the Raiders, and then becoming the whatever it is.
A tattooin is showing the end ofhis story. It's showing the I'm
not a young guy anymore. I'mtrying to secure my future and and get

(51:44):
my peace. I'm trying to settlethe fuck down. For the people who
made the argument that he wasn't badassenough in the series, I feel like
that point is non void. Mypoint of saying that it doesn't really serve
any purpose is because my whole thingabout Star Wars is why I find perfect

(52:06):
example, why I found Ahsoka tobe so interesting is because they actually took
more than one you know, formatof telling the story with the Clone Wars
and the actual movies included crafting thestory in between Ahsoka and Anakin, living
through the Clone Wars, getting throughit, her actually becoming a Jedi,

(52:29):
and then being like, nah,actually I don't agree with the Jedi order.
I'm gonna go find my own path. I like those types of shows
because it actually expounds upon the storywhen a non secutor happens, like what's
going on with Boba Fet in thebook and with Boba Fet. My thing
is not necessarily that I don't likeit. I just don't necessarily see the

(52:52):
value of it. If nothing evercomes back. That's my only thing.
And I get what you're saying.You're like, we'll say it's the difference
between macro and micro storytelling. Andhere's what I mean. The macro is
this connects to this, connects tothis, connects to this, and this

(53:15):
affects the wider story there. It'slike, let's take something like the Blacklist
for example, have you seen theBlacklist? No? Okay, let's take
the Sopranos then, which might besomething a little more. There is the
A plot and the B plot.The A plot which is what the fuck's
going on the episode. You havethe B plot, which is what's going
on for the entire season or overmultiple seasons. Uh, Boba Fet is

(53:44):
Boba FET's story is a plot.There are some B plot things there.
Mando's story is like, you know, you do need to watch book Bubba
Fett before Mandalorian season three because there'ssome pertinent things in there. You know,
blah blah blah blah blah. Youknow there's beat. There's beat plot
in there, but the b plotdoesn't necessarily have anything to do with the

(54:04):
story directly being told per se.It's it's explanation as to why you know,
Mando's helping them with the pipe syndicateand stuff. I haven't gotten further
than that, so don't say anything. So just so you understand how I
say this, I see the Bookof Boba Fett as being the episodes in
the Sopranos where Anthony is tripping inthe in the desert and he doesn't and

(54:29):
he's having all those dreams and Carminefucking comes back and he's still alive and
he's talking to him through the wall, or when Anthony got shot. I'm
not going to go into more spoilersjust in case somebody hasn't seen it,
but you know, he has thatwhole fucking thing in the hospital where he
thinks he's inside the room. Allthat. That's how I see Book of

(54:49):
Boba fet because I'm like, hey, I get it, you're explaining.
But I also have to say,haven't watched Mandalorian at all, I don't
really have any interest in it.I can't tell you why. It seems
very interesting. I just for theStar Wars story, I don't want to
watch it. Can't tell you whynot against the idea of the character.
I just don't think I find valuein it as of yet. But yeah,

(55:14):
it's that surprises me. Like,are you not a fan of like
like Westerns and stuff like that.No, see, I am. But
in the Star Wars story, whenI think Western, I want more so
like the Dawn of the Original OldOrder, right, like I want to

(55:34):
see dark you want macro. Becausealso, let me just say this,
if they do a micro story inthat time period, because they've always talked
about doing something in that time periodthe Knights of the Old Republic, that
I'm okay with a micro story inthat it never has to go connect back

(55:55):
to us. They never have todo another thing in the Knights of the
Old Republic canon ever. Again,I just want to see a story from
back then, because between the Nightof the Old Republic games all those cinematics,
there's enough of a fucking story fora series, even if it's animated.
So the last thing I'll say onthis is just when I want to
clarify what I mean by micro andmacro, right, micro is macro is

(56:27):
what a story micro is. Macrois the story of the wider universe,
of the story of like what theoverworking plot and how things are happening like
everywhere? Micro is what is happeningin this little piece of this world,
what is going on here? Ilike micro microplot plots because I if I

(56:54):
like the macro or I like thevibe of a world or an I I
want to see more experiences within thatworld. I want to see more things.
So what I mean by that isis, let's take like, there's

(57:15):
a reason why I enjoyed season threeof Castlevania as much as I did.
I wanted to see people living withinthis world. I wanted to see the
goings on. Yes, I likethe big overarching story suspense great, but
also in just as much I likeseeing people exist and deal with the day

(57:37):
to day things going on in ain a B or c. Well,
that's why, then, I thinkand Or is the perfect example of the
micro dissection of a story that you'redescribing, because and Or goes above and
beyond and creating not only a grittyvibe but it also stays firmly on the

(57:57):
one or two characters that and wereyou know, circulates around. Don't get
me wrong, they include other peopleobviously because they have to, because that's
the fucking story going. But Ido uh if to your credit, I'm
saying and or does that perfectly Bobafett, Yeah, I think personally.
I think personally, it's just thesource material. In all honesty, it's

(58:22):
more interesting to see and or tosee uh what's his name? Uhis we've
seen Tattooine already. Tatan was thefirst thing we saw forty years ago.
We were saying that, you knowwhat that's And in that notion, if
it was on a different planet thatwe hadn't seen before, I feel like

(58:44):
you would have liked Boka boba feta lot more. But the fact that
it's on Tattuen and it is alreadysomething familiar, it's not, it's not
it doesn't get you with that.It doesn't get you. I get that.
But on that note, ladies andgentlemen, uh, thank you so
much for watching the rundown. Iappreciate you your time in your listenership,
as does my co host mister Brianno Dot two Ortega, who can be
