Speaker 1 (00:25):
Hello survivors and welcome back to another episode
of Will you Survive.

Speaker 2 (00:30):
The Podcast.

Speaker 1 (00:32):
And today we got something special for you.
Not really, we do this everyweek on Friday at 7 am.
Today we're talking about avery good movie, but I get to
that.
Let me introduce my twoco-hosts challengers.
Whatever the fuck they are,we've got eric I am challenger

(00:52):
number one he's playing bilaccio.
We've got alex I'm whiskey he'swhiskey and you know what I like
this movie.
Uh, we're talking about themovie buried.
I seen it one time when I waslike 11 or something, I don't
know A long ass time ago, and ittraumatized me.
And I'm not claustrophobic, butbeing buried alive seems like

(01:15):
it sucks.

Speaker 2 (01:16):
I got claustrophobic in this.
I was claustrophobic AF allthrough this.
I'm not going to lie.

Speaker 3 (01:22):
So, first of all, I'm a smaller guy, so I think
definitely you guys would feel alot more claustrophobic in a
coffin, but also this was theworld's most spacious coffin
ever, uh, especially, I feellike for most of the movie well,
for most of the movie it seemedlike it was a very tight fit
and then when the snake came in,it seemed like it grew to the
size of a los angeles studioapartment and, uh, he was like

(01:44):
in a corner pretty far.

Speaker 1 (01:46):
He set a fire in the coffin which is very fucking
stupid, because fire, yeah,oxygen yeah, over a snake what
pisses he?
He did a lot of things wrongthat he really shouldn't have.
Like dude, told him to not havehis thing on, vibrate his phone
because, it was battery, andthen he turns the ringer on for

(02:07):
like a second and then turns itback to vibrate for the rest of
the movie.

Speaker 2 (02:10):
Yep, yep.

Speaker 1 (02:11):
And then is surprised when it drops down to freaking
one bar.

Speaker 3 (02:14):
Yep, okay, I saw an editing mistake, though, because
you see the phone secondsbefore that and it's at three,
at three bars, and then, like afew seconds later, the phone
beeps and then it shows and it'slow battery.
I saw a different editing flawwhere he's using two different
phones.

Speaker 2 (02:31):
Oh really, one of them it's a solid battery,
that's that's like uh,continuously going down, you
know it doesn't have the bars,and the other one it's the bars.

Speaker 1 (02:41):
There's two different phones I did not notice that so
basically this movie sucks.

Speaker 3 (02:46):
I'm kidding, so it was actually.
It was pretty good.

Speaker 2 (02:49):
I like it can I ask you a question, host?
Yes, how did you feel when hewas calling people, when he
finally got a hold of that woman, donna, and she starts arguing
with him about him yelling ather?

Speaker 3 (03:01):
I wanted to fucking punch her.

Speaker 1 (03:02):
Oh my god like if somebody calls me fucking
panicked, I'm not just gonnalike be a fucking karen to them,
so like fuck that bitch, I'd beyeah, angry oh yeah, no, when
he, when he got what he wanted,he's like fuck you.

Speaker 3 (03:18):
And then I love that that was.
It was so warranted, it was sobeautiful good for you.

Speaker 1 (03:23):
One last win before you're buried forever in the
sand of Iraq.

Speaker 2 (03:28):
Although.
I will say that all of thepeople that he did speak to were
just freaking what is theproper term?
How can I say this?
They were all incredibly stupid.
I couldn't stand any of thepeople that he was talking to.
They all wanted to ask amillion questions and they were

(03:49):
all like, uh, going from theaspect of him lying to them you
know it's like why don't youjust confirm he is who he says
he is and then take him?
you know, take him at his word.
Let's talk about you know.
Okay, this guy named PaulConroy is actually one of our
employees.
He is actually out in Iraq andhe would be in that spot.

Speaker 3 (04:13):
Oh crap, this might be real, yeah, but I think at
the end CRT they terminated himand they were like oh, we
actually terminated you beforeyou were buried, so technically
you don't qualify for anybenefits or anything.
Sorry, you're fucked Byeterminated him and they were
like oh, we actually terminatedyou before you were buried, so
technically you don't qualifyfor any benefits or anything
sorry you're fucked bye, but yourealize that that was absolute
ass covering.

Speaker 2 (04:31):
Yeah, no, I did not.
I didn't believe that he wascheating on his wife at all I
don't know.

Speaker 1 (04:36):
He seemed a little too tore up by uh her getting,
so I don't know.
I feel like it could be eitherway.
Either they're just fuckinglying, or he was just really
good friends, or like you know.

Speaker 2 (04:48):
No, I think that was all ass covering on their part,
that they were you know.
Oh nope, we don't know anythingabout this.
We're washing our hands of this.
We have nothing to do with it.
Sorry about that.

Speaker 3 (04:59):
Yeah, I don't.

Speaker 1 (05:07):
Honestly, I didn't really pay attention one way or
the other about that.
No, I uh.
What dicks just like why?
Yeah, that's a dick move andlike no the fuck.
You did not fire him.
As of that morning he was on arun.

Speaker 3 (05:16):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, exactly that was 100 them
covering their ass legally I wasworking for you when I got
captured the, the whole like.
Do you acknowledge that I'mrecording?
Do I have your permission torecord?

Speaker 2 (05:27):
No.

Speaker 3 (05:28):
Yeah, I would have just said no at that point.
I'm like clearly I know exactlywhat you're trying to do.

Speaker 1 (05:33):
Do you understand what I've said to you?
No, I don't.

Speaker 3 (05:35):
Yeah, no, I don't understand.
Explain it again.

Speaker 2 (05:38):
Instead they got on record.

Speaker 1 (05:39):
You're a piece of shit also, yeah like he's doing
a run for your company.
So if he's not employed by you,that's still a fucking
liability risk.
So it's, it doesn't make anysense it still doesn't look good
on them.

Speaker 2 (05:52):
Why didn't you tell me before I went on this run
that I no longer worked for you,because I wouldn't be in this
position if I no longer workedfor you?

Speaker 3 (06:00):
yeah, but the thing is like what's he gonna say that
from the coffin, no his but hisfamily can, I guess.

Speaker 2 (06:05):
Yeah, that's true, that would be.
That would have been.
You know, that would have beenthe uber argument to make if you
could think rationally, if youcould be calm enough to explain
yourself.
Like he's, he's under theimpression that this person is
calling to help him and this iswhat he ambushes him with.
You know just what the fuck?
And personally I think, uh,instead of all of the the, I

(06:31):
don't know what he did exactlyright after that, because I
think the guy from the statedepartment called him back, but
that's the moment where oh, no,he, he made his, uh, last will
and testament.
He recorded himself.
And that's where I would havesaid and the fuckhead at crt
tried to claim that I was havingan affair so that they could
fire me and wash their hands ofall of this.

(06:52):
This is their fault entirely.
They are 100 to blame for this.
They did not take care of us.
They told us our trucks weregoing to be armored.
They were not.
They told us we were going tobe protected.
We were not.

Speaker 1 (07:05):
And send that fucking video out really, though, like
that I would have done that it'slike again, I always try to
think that's if you're thinkingrationally.

Speaker 2 (07:14):
I've been in situations above ground, not
buried, not in life or death,just stressful situations where
if you don't remember to breathein an atmosphere of abundant
oxygen, if you don't remember tobreathe in an atmosphere of
abundant oxygen, if you don'tremember to breathe, you're
going to start to panic andyou're going to start to make
poor decisions because you'renot getting oxygen to your brain
.
And the fact that this guy wasgoing through this.

(07:37):
I mean, I think you and Idiffer on the opinion here, eric
, but I think Ryan Reynolds dida good job of making me number
one believe.
He was constantly suffocating.
I can't imagine how freakinglightheaded he was during the
filming of this movie because hewas breathing so damn hard the
whole time when I was quittingsmoking.

(07:57):
That's one of the tactics thatthey tell you to try is, uh,
chew on a carrot and breathelike a carrot stick and breathe
deep and fast, deep and fast andit makes you really lightheaded
.
And the carrot helps with thehabit of putting something to
your lips and, man, you breatheheavy like that.
You're going to get lightheaded.

Speaker 3 (08:19):
Yeah, I think I've said this on the podcast Do you
want to hear about celery, butwhen I was in marching band I
was in drum line and our banddirectors would try to have us
do the breathing exercises withthe rest of the band Because it
helps you be more in tune withthe rest of the band and breathe
when they're breathing and bemore of a unit.

(08:41):
Except none of us blow into ourinstrument.
So none of us have been doingthat since the sixth grade.
So we're not high schoolers whohave like zero lung capacity
who are doing breathingexercises, followed by us on the
ground, almost passing out,while everybody else is, like I
feel, so ready to play and we'repassed out from lack of oxygen

(09:02):
yep, yeah, um, what was I gonnasay you're talking about?

Speaker 1 (09:08):
okay, one of my thoughts.
First mistake in this movie whythe fuck are you going to iraq
for?

Speaker 3 (09:15):
money.
Okay, I will.
You don't know how much theyget paid war.

Speaker 1 (09:18):
You don't know how much they get paid there are
other jobs where you are not atrisk of getting freaking buried
alive, like go be a freakingfisherman in alaska or something
or like you don't know how muchthey're getting paid.

Speaker 3 (09:31):
Okay, underwater welding.

Speaker 1 (09:33):
Do something else other than civilian, but that's
but.

Speaker 3 (09:37):
Underwater welding requires so much skill and that
is also incredibly risky.
That is a very dangerous job.

Speaker 1 (09:43):
I guarantee he'd make way more if he was doing that
and he'd be weird, notnecessarily I'll tell you what.

Speaker 3 (09:49):
Civilian contractors for the military, Especially in
war zones.
Make fucking bank and there's areason for it.
It's because you're going intoa war zone.

Speaker 1 (09:58):
I knew a guy.
They make so much money.
How much money did that man sayhe had in his bank account?

Speaker 2 (10:02):
I think that's what's unrealistic.
He said.
I leave you how much?
$700 in my savings account.

Speaker 1 (10:06):
Yeah, bro was so broke.
Was it his day on the job?

Speaker 2 (10:10):
He might not have been paid yet but wait, that's
what I thought.

Speaker 3 (10:13):
He might not have been paid yet.

Speaker 2 (10:14):
What I thought about this was that they were in
financial struggles and he tookthis job.
That's why he was like.
You were right, I shouldn'thave taken this job.
I shouldn't have come out here,right, it was because this
would have set them in a goodposition.
It would have Right.
I knew I knew somebody who wasan electrical contractor they

(10:35):
make in Iraq.
It was at about this time, 2004.
This was a little before whenthis guy was out there, but in
2004, it was, they were offeringhim low six figures.
I think it was about $180,000to $200,000.
But this was then Tax-free forsix months.

Speaker 3 (10:50):
Yeah, that's not even a full year.

Speaker 2 (10:52):
You're going to go out there for six months.
You're going to get all of thattax-free.
Well, actually you're out therefor 181 days.
So you're not a quote unquoteUnited States resident.
During that year you didn'tlive in the United States.
So there's no federal or stateincome tax, and then they come
back and you know there's stillsocial security and crap like
that, but then they come backyou more, or?

Speaker 3 (11:14):
less.
Have most of your paycheck.

Speaker 2 (11:16):
And they can do.
They could do what they want.
At that point you can.
You've already worked for yourwhole year.
You could re-up or not.

Speaker 3 (11:27):
But whole year you could re-up or not.
But yeah, so that's I.
My, my aunt's ex-husband was aprivate contractor for the
military and he would gooverseas, for I think he would
do three months at a time but hewould go over.
Um, they ended up splittingbecause he kept going over, but
I think he just enjoyedadrenaline, junkie kind of maybe
.
Maybe I think he also justenjoyed that you make so much
fucking money every time you goand he's basically setting

(11:50):
himself up for retirement inyears.
Just a matter of years.

Speaker 2 (11:54):
That's what I call actively lazy.
Bust your ass today.

Speaker 3 (11:58):
So that tomorrow we do nothing.
I think that was his, his, uh,rationale.
Um, I don't know the ins andouts of why their marriage ended
and I don't really feel likesharing it on the podcast, but
um, but yeah, I knew he used todo that.
He used to, uh, go overseas andthey make so much money because
when you work for the military,you just get paid, whatever

(12:20):
your rank gets paid.

Speaker 1 (12:21):
But when you're a civilian contractor, that you,
your skills are necessary andthey, they compensate you very
well, it's a very dangerousthing to be doing, especially if
you don't have, uh, the goodold wireless hole puncher with
you, you know yeah, the militaryhas a wireless hole puncher
wireless hole puncher.

Speaker 3 (12:42):
Well, he should have a wireless hole puncher on him.
I don't know why he did it.
I don't know why he didn't.

Speaker 1 (12:45):
I don't know why you wouldn't have that.

Speaker 3 (12:47):
Why would you be driving through Iraq without
protection like that?

Speaker 1 (12:51):
Everybody else has them, the freaking 12-year-old
fucking sand shack has them, whycan't I have one?
Is the police going to stop?

Speaker 3 (12:58):
you.

Speaker 1 (12:59):
Yeah, the Iraqi police, yeah, you mean the army
well remember the militia,whatever the united states army
was training their police.
Yeah yeah, um, dude was uh, hehe definitely had like he got,
he got like he had like anxietyor whatever yeah I also have

(13:21):
anxiety, but I feel like I Icould think clearly enough to
not freak out and light a wholeass non-venomous, non-poisonous
snake on fire.
Yeah, Also what is a Mexicanblack king snake doing in Iraq?

Speaker 2 (13:37):
And why is it making the sound of a?

Speaker 1 (13:39):
rattler, I looked it up.
Why is it there?

Speaker 3 (13:42):
Can I also say?
Can I also say the theterrorist in this movie sounded
suspiciously Mexican.
He was, and he was Because yeah, cause, I'm like I swear he
keeps saying like, uh do, didyou have the money?
Instead of saying you, he keptsaying Jew, and I'm like that's
so Mexican.

Speaker 2 (14:03):
Did you have money, you?
He kept saying jew and I'm likethat's so mexican and he was
like did you have money?

Speaker 3 (14:07):
yeah, did you have money.
Every time he said it, I'm likeit just sounds like my grandpa,
or not?

Speaker 2 (14:10):
not, not your dad, but my other grandpa, I'm like
it just sounds so much like him.

Speaker 3 (14:16):
It's this guy's got to be mexican and he is yeah,
that's, uh, that's, that's kindof.

Speaker 1 (14:20):
That's kind of why they're just like let's get a
dude with an accent.

Speaker 2 (14:24):
For real, they really did Jose Luis Garcia Perez.

Speaker 3 (14:28):
Yeah, not Iraqi at all, not Middle Eastern at all,
that's Jabir.
But yeah, the snake thing wasthe most unrealistic part of the
movie.
To be honest, everything elsewas Honestly, I don't think he
would have had that much oxygen.
I think he would have been outof oxygen way sooner.
Honestly, I don't think hewould have had that much oxygen.
I think he would have been outof oxygen way sooner.
But maybe I'm wrong about that.
I think he maybe had like anhour.

Speaker 1 (14:49):
You'd have to get the measurements of this casket and
stuff, but it's not like astandard coffin or whatever I
mean.
Even then, so you wouldn't beable to really get the right,
you know.

Speaker 3 (14:59):
But that enclosed space no matter, it's still a
coffin, even if it's an extra,extra large coffin.
You have maybe an hour ofoxygen.
You're buried underground andit's only that box.
I don't think you last longerthan an hour.

Speaker 1 (15:15):
Something that we know.
How long can you survive in atrunk with no air?

Speaker 3 (15:18):
But trunks have like spaces where air gets in.

Speaker 2 (15:23):
Would you speculate with me?
This is about, I would say, sixfeet long or seven feet long I
I would say this is like.

Speaker 1 (15:30):
So we're doing the math.
Hold on, ryan, I don't know not10, it wasn't 10.

Speaker 2 (15:35):
He didn't have that much room to go up and down he
was the snake scene, he kind ofwas that was apparently.

Speaker 1 (15:42):
That's what I'm using .

Speaker 2 (15:43):
I'm going to say the coffin was 7 feet.
7 feet that gives 10 inches.
But like I said during thesnake scene.

Speaker 1 (15:53):
It grew.
I would say it's like in somescenes it seemed like the walls
were touching his arms but inother scenes that's what I'm
saying he struggled, but theaverage he was able to just
rotate too Right.
That's what I'm saying.
He had to struggle to do it,but he was able to rotate.
So it's about like a torso insome change, like with a neck.

Speaker 3 (16:12):
No more.
He was completely sidewaysduring the snake scene in the
coffin.

Speaker 2 (16:19):
That's like four feet across or maybe three feet
across, but it's like three feetwide by 10 feet yeah, let's not
go by that, because I thinkthat that's not a a good
representation of what it'ssupposed to be.
I think we're calling out theirum, we're calling out the
production error.

Speaker 3 (16:36):
That's like what two feet, maybe like two feet.

Speaker 1 (16:38):
Yeah, two feet I think would be like two and a
half three feet, is probablylike the what it was.
Yeah, so we're going what.
Seven three feet by seven feet.
Seven foot, like two and a halfthree feet, is probably what it
was.

Speaker 3 (16:45):
So we're going what seven Three feet by seven feet.

Speaker 1 (16:46):
Seven foot by two and a half three.

Speaker 2 (16:48):
So it says seven coffins were used in the movie.

Speaker 3 (16:51):
Okay, well, that makes sense.

Speaker 1 (16:52):
Well, yeah, they had to get the shot where it was
going above him and it lookedlike it was really tall.
And then the one where itzoomed out to the side of him.
Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 2 (17:00):
I think they definitely botched the
proportions and distribution, ifyou will.

Speaker 3 (17:08):
But I mean that's how they split up the movie,
because this is a movie thattakes place in one place, the
entire movie.
This is like those movies whereit's about somebody stuck on an
elevator and they go throughhell and you're like how the
hell is this 90-minute movie?

Speaker 1 (17:22):
just them in an elevator and you're like how the
hell is this 90-minute movie?
Just them in an elevator.
Okay, so a standard coffin canhold around 886 liters of air,
with about 164 liters of thatbeing oxygen.

Speaker 3 (17:36):
So how long would that last you?
Because I could just becompletely wrong, because I know
they also used to tie bells tocorpses' toes just in case they
weren't dead and they could digthem up at night, hence a
graveyard shift, yeah, but whichwould imply that they were
alive long enough to wake up andring the bell, but I guess that
also that assumes that anybodywas ever dug up um, I'm looking

(18:01):
at an article.

Speaker 1 (18:02):
It says a normal, healthy person might have 10
minutes to an hour or six hoursto 36 hours.
That's a big what.
That's a huge gap.

Speaker 2 (18:13):
So it could take 10 minutes, could take five years,
so we're gonna call it we'regonna call it mixed oxygen,
right or mixed air this would bemixed air right, it would be
mixed air, and if you were gonnatake a tank of mixed air,
that's 680 liters of oxygen.

(18:34):
That would be approximately 8.6hours with a flow rate of three
liters per minute.
But he was breathing fasterthan that and he was using the
lighter and he lit a fire inthere, which that means.
that brings it closer to whatyou were saying.
If he's breathing 12 liters perminute or using up air at a
rate of 12 liters per minute, hewould only have 55 minutes of

(18:56):
air.

Speaker 3 (18:57):
Yeah, I think that that was probably the most
unrealistic thing.
I'm not going to lie If you getburied alive and somebody is
not already on their way to getyou, I think you're done.

Speaker 1 (19:07):
Also, it's a constant like the dirt's coming in, so
that's making less air.

Speaker 3 (19:11):
At the end.
Yeah, yeah, that's going upthrough the sand because he's in
the desert, but it's going upthrough the sand and so maybe
I'm crazy, but when the sandinitially broke through and it
started pouring in real heavy,my first thought was maybe I do
like a dive motion and try topush my way through and up.

Speaker 2 (19:36):
I was trying to think of a way to do that too.

Speaker 3 (19:38):
Because what's the worst thing that happens?
I suffocate.

Speaker 1 (19:42):
It's going to happen anyways.
Sand is a lot different thandirt.
Most people are buried in dirt.
So there's, a lot of stuffabout how to get out of the
ground when you're buried indirt and you want to go to the
side and kind of dig your way up.
So like coffin you go and thenyou go up and you just kind of
push dirt below you as you'regoing.

Speaker 2 (20:02):
So if you were, if you were watching him in the
coffin, you would want to rollonto your side, push out the
side of the coffin and thenstart.

Speaker 1 (20:10):
Yeah, I would, I would use the knife that he had
to like fucking try to pry or dosomething, try to get enough
space, so I could get out.

Speaker 2 (20:18):
Yep.

Speaker 1 (20:19):
You also, and I think for a sand situation you'd,
because it's dry.
Um, you don't want to bebreathing that in as you're
going up, so probably put yourshirt over your face so it
doesn't get in your eyes andwhatever.

Speaker 3 (20:31):
And your that's a good idea.
So I mean, I think you'rekeeping your eyes closed anyways
but I mean, you know you'redigging blind anyways, so just
you are, yeah, but.

Speaker 2 (20:40):
But they also made a point like there's one challenge
to this, that going straight upwould have been a possibility
if the guy was theorizingcorrectly that he was only about
two feet underground yeah, yeah, yeah, no.

Speaker 1 (20:56):
In the sand situation I think straight up probably
would be the best option.

Speaker 3 (21:00):
So my my thought was just it's a gamble, because if
you're six foot down you'renever making it up.
But if these are just some,some kind of I I don't know what
to really call them, but youknow, not the smartest
terrorists in the world andthey're just trying to get some
money, then maybe they only putyou like two feet down, maybe
they didn't dig a full gravewell, the idea was, they needed

(21:23):
reception in there yeah, yeah.
So oh, that's a good point.

Speaker 1 (21:27):
Yeah, I was trying to figure out, um, as I was
watching the movie, how I don'tthink there's anything telling
you this how far underground youcan get reception at, because I
don't know.

Speaker 3 (21:37):
Yeah, can we look that up?

Speaker 1 (21:38):
like, and then there's like sand versus dirt
versus mud, you know so.
So there's a lot of factors.
So I don't know, but I feellike it must have been like four
feet, five feet maybe.

Speaker 3 (21:50):
I hear that all the time.

Speaker 1 (21:51):
Hear what.

Speaker 3 (21:52):
There was just a loud ass thump and he started
listening to see what it was andI'm like it's the kids.
And it's all the time.
They cannot take a step withoutsounding like an elephant
walking through the house sleeptypical upstairs.
Neighbors activity ourdownstairs neighbors hate us.
Dude, there's no way they don'tdid I?

(22:15):
I've told you right that my, mygrandmother straight up walked
into their apartment because shegot off on the wrong floor yeah
, you told me about that yeah,they said they.
they looked at her and they'relike oh, you probably meant to
go upstairs, they could tellthat she belonged to us.

Speaker 1 (22:32):
That's funny.
No, but yeah.
How far underground do youthink Anybody?
Got any research you can bringinto the table.
I'm looking it up.

Speaker 2 (22:42):
I will tell you this that uh, the particular uh
bandwidth lower, lower waves,like I think t-mobile uses it,
um, I believe don't quote me onthis but I believe it's the uh
600 megahertz range and it cutsunder underground parking and
stuff like that really well.
And let me see I'm trying tofind it looks like, because all

(23:05):
I'm seeing is that like ablanket.

Speaker 1 (23:07):
A blanket answer is soil and concrete block cell
phone reception and you gottathink this is 2006 is when the
movie takes place, so cellphones weren't as good as they
are now.
Yeah, no, exactly, no exactlywe got 5G and all that, so we're
kind of spoiled.
So I don't know, I don't know.

Speaker 3 (23:29):
He had to be like for me.
Okay, so here's what I'mgetting.
In practical scenarios, if youare buried six feet under dirt,
it is unlikely that you would beable to receive or send a phone
signal.
The Reddit thread on AskEngineers discusses this
scenario and concludes that aphone buried at such a depth
would not likely be able tocommunicate with the cell phone
tower, even under idealconditions.

(23:50):
So that's kind of as much asthey say about that.
This next part, for undergroundutility lines.
The depth of phone linestypically ranges from one to
three feet underground,depending on the local
regulations and the type ofutility line, so I don't know if
that provides any info.

Speaker 2 (24:05):
That's landline.
That's talking about landlinecable depth.
How far they're required tobury it underground?
Gotcha, because water lines,like irrigation lines, are
mandated to be six inchesunderground under surface.
Electrical is 18 inches.

Speaker 3 (24:20):
Oh, here we go.
Generally, radio waves canpenetrate the ground, but higher
frequencies have moredifficulty doing so.
For example, a standardcellulose signal which operates
at higher frequencies wouldlikely not penetrate more than a
few feet of soil.
Now I don't know if that'sdifferent for sand, but I would
assume they're somewhat the same.

Speaker 1 (24:39):
And we also got to think about if we are trying to
dig up through the sand.
Sand is heavy.
A cubic foot of sand weighsabout 90 pounds.
Yep, um I know that one fourfeet of sand would be about 360
pounds, and a cubic yard of sandis about 2 000 I mean that
would be.

Speaker 3 (24:56):
The problem is one getting the leverage cubic yards
of sand on them yeah, I, I mean.
But here's the thing Like,towards the end he was already
getting covered.
He was already reaching a pointwhere he was going to suffocate
soon, so why not just go for it?

Speaker 1 (25:12):
I mean by that point I think, the carbon dioxide
would be getting to you.

Speaker 3 (25:16):
I guess, it's good.

Speaker 2 (25:17):
I think it clearly was.
Can I say that was my theory.
The carbon dioxide was alreadygetting to him when he imagined
them coming and opening up thethe coffin oh man, I thought he
was already starting tohallucinate, because that's one
of the things of carbon dioxidepoisoning is hallucination the
other thing that happened earlyon, or like a dream, like no,

(25:38):
it's hallucination, he was awakeno, but I think it was like a
daydreaming, like I wish.

Speaker 3 (25:42):
I wish this is what would happen right now.
No, that's kind of how I tookit, where it was kind of like a
no, you don't.

Speaker 2 (25:48):
You don't wish.
In those situation, youhallucinate.
Yes, because that's what yourbrain wants to believe.
It's that's what you want tohave happen.

Speaker 1 (25:56):
Yeah it's heavily implied that he wanted to
believe that it's heavilyimplied, of course implied well
so um got a good comment here.

Speaker 3 (26:08):
I got it host.
I got your joke.
That was very funny.
What?

Speaker 2 (26:11):
if?
What if the entire movie wasactually in his head?
What?

Speaker 1 (26:14):
47 meters down.
This is four feet deep.
Next question no, it's two feet, two feet, four feet.
It has to be some sort offootage, because if it was one
foot I'm sure he would have seenthe light yeah, I'm sure.

Speaker 3 (26:25):
Actually the sand pouring in would have made a
hole so like how much, how muchsand I don't think so.

Speaker 2 (26:31):
I don't think because it was just a small hole in the
coffin, up the entire coffinyeah, but above him, sand won't
doesn't just come down in asingle column, it all comes from
the side.
So it would.
I think what you're sayingwould be accurate.
That would be his best bet toget out right there, but you
wouldn't see the light.
It would all cave in on itself.

Speaker 3 (26:51):
That's true, but that is.

Speaker 1 (26:52):
He'd have to have enough strength to keep
splintering the rest of theboards.

Speaker 3 (26:54):
That's the other challenge.
It was only one board thatbroke, and I'm pretty sure Ryan
Reynolds isn't fitting throughthat.

Speaker 2 (27:00):
And that's where you get scary.
Eric would probably survivethis.

Speaker 1 (27:02):
He would the coffin would be so light that it would
just be buoyant in the sand.

Speaker 2 (27:08):
The coffin would be so large he could have just
lived there indefinitely.

Speaker 3 (27:13):
That's why I said it kind of just seemed like a
studio apartment.

Speaker 1 (27:15):
He would have started building on it I would be 100%,
I would have ate the snake.

Speaker 3 (27:18):
I thought he was going to at first Would have
been kind of smart.

Speaker 1 (27:21):
I would have ate it.
What else have you got?

Speaker 3 (27:22):
I thought he was going to.
He would have had to catch it,though, and kill it Also drink
the blood?
Yeah, that's a liquid.

Speaker 2 (27:26):
I thought he was going to come down with his heel
right on its head.

Speaker 3 (27:34):
I thought, that's what he was like setting up for
that's what I thought so, andthen when I saw him grab the
don't do that no chaser bro,just straight like flammable
alcohol right here bro coffin

Speaker 1 (27:45):
right here, bro dry humid like dry humid, fucking
like I'm sure I didn't evencatch that holy crap.

Speaker 3 (27:53):
I caught myself.

Speaker 1 (27:53):
I caught myself but, like, imagine you're stuck in
this coffin and all you have is,I'm assuming, everclear,
because it just lit the thingthing about movies is they?
Show alcohol just straight uplighting.
But all alcohol has a burnpoint that's too high.
You have to heat it up firstand then it'll be able to light.

Speaker 2 (28:14):
So it's not going to be vodka?
Yeah, vodka will light.
Sambuca will light dude.

Speaker 3 (28:20):
It's not a high alcohol content.
With a Zippo lighter, oh yeah.

Speaker 2 (28:24):
We used to use Bic lighters.

Speaker 1 (28:26):
I mean once we do an in-person thing, nothing blue
fire like 151.
Let's be pyromaniacs.

Speaker 3 (28:35):
Yeah, Alex is definitely on board with that.

Speaker 1 (28:38):
All types of alcohol will be fucked up.
Oh dude, let's try to burn this.
Oh yeah, let's talk about howshitty of a fucking human being
that British fuck was, thatperson who didn't even exist.
Fuck that guy.

Speaker 2 (28:52):
But did he not exist?
I thought he did no he meansbecause he's British.

Speaker 1 (28:58):
Oh, sorry, sorry, sorry, I got you yes.

Speaker 2 (29:02):
I got you host.
I understood your joke point.
Uh, you mean, you mean, justlike our subscriber dildo
swaggins who that's fictional?

Speaker 1 (29:09):
never heard him, uh no, but like what a dick he was.
Like yo, give me some hope,tell me somebody who you fucking
saved what did you do?

Speaker 2 (29:18):
tell somebody who he lied?

Speaker 1 (29:20):
fucking saved White.
Mark White is in the desertburied and he's like, oh yeah,
bro, he's fine bro.

Speaker 3 (29:26):
He's fine.
Yeah, I remember him sayingthat he's fine, bro.
Mark White is fine, bro.
Bro, don't worry, he's fine,I'll save you bro.
Like no, I'll save you, bro.
You fucking liar.

Speaker 1 (29:45):
There is diddly squat to find this man.
You know he was, though no, butyou know for a fact that there
was a airstrike within hisvicinity.
Yep well, so my assumptionthere people and look for a
freaking divot of sand in thedesert that is slowly going down
.

Speaker 3 (29:56):
Do something I think that would be so hard to find
and I think one it's an activewar zone.
I don't think it's thatunlikely that two places would
have an airstrike at the sametime.
But, assuming it, even if itwas the same airstrike that
happened, that's still such alarge area to have to search.
And if this is a common buryarea, then the the guy who gave

(30:18):
him the info said I know wherean American is buried it is true
.
There could have been multipleAmericans buried in that area.

Speaker 1 (30:28):
To hear the call to the mosque.
He could hear sound through thedirt.

Speaker 2 (30:32):
True.

Speaker 3 (30:33):
You could do something.

Speaker 1 (30:36):
I got this Bluetooth speaker.
Let me know when you can hearit.

Speaker 3 (30:40):
Yeah, that could have helped.
I think at that point they wereon such a short amount of time.
By the time they got there hewas already being covered in
sand and about to suffocate.

Speaker 1 (30:50):
And then they got to the wrong coffin also, we're
just assuming he's out in theopen.
Bro could have been buried inlike the town square, you know
yeah, like in a random like in aplace you'd never look,
warehouse in the middle offucking

Speaker 3 (31:04):
yeah, like I.
That's why, like I, I don'tknow, I think, the british guy I
felt bad for him, to be honest,because he did try.
He like they found that, thatthat guy or that uh, that
terrorist who gave him the infoand they traded, uh, I think,
his freedom or something for forthat info to to find the

(31:24):
american who was buried and itjust wasn't the right one.
And I that sucks because youknow, thinking out, thinking
past the time of the movie, justto imagine what that guy would
feel like having now lost twoand there was nothing he could
really do about it yeah, to befair, he did say uh, how many,
how many have you?

Speaker 2 (31:42):
not many.
How many have you?
Not many?
How many have you saved?
Not many.
But there have been some.
Yeah, there have been some.
Give me hope.
Tell me somebody who survived.

Speaker 1 (31:50):
And then he lied to him fucking mark white.
Um, also he lost.
Another person was uh, I'm surehe was helping trying to look
for fucking one chick who gotfreaking well, but if he did, he
lied, because he said we didn'teven know she was there he's
like you weren't even lookingfor her.

Speaker 2 (32:06):
You didn't do anything to help her not to be
trusted.

Speaker 1 (32:09):
Also imagine which.
I go back to the original thingwe all say.

Speaker 2 (32:14):
We all agree that the brit didn't exist.
Right, this was all in his head.
He didn't even have a workingcell phone.

Speaker 1 (32:21):
He's in the coffin.
Hello, he's a banana.
It's a banana.

Speaker 3 (32:30):
It's the snake.

Speaker 1 (32:31):
It's the snake.
Oh no.

Speaker 3 (32:33):
It's a mutilated snake, arnar Arnar Turns out.

Speaker 1 (32:38):
the snake was venomous, he's hallucinating
from the snake.

Speaker 3 (32:45):
It bit his freaking wiener while he was sleeping
because it came from his pants,which is actually horrifying
imagine you're just like, hey,I'm underground, nothing's down
here, and then you just feelsomething just no, if, if I'm in
iraq and I feel somethingclimbing in my pants or
slithering through my pants, myimmediate thought is it's a
camel spider, and I might justdie of a heart attack at that

(33:07):
point.
Oh yeah, I know, like genuinely, if a camel spider ever touches
me, I I, for real, I'm notkidding I think my heart would
stop.
What's the camel spider?
Oh man, oh man.
Camel spiders are horrificbeings that make me question
what god was fucking thinkingvery well made.
Yeah, can you look it up?

(33:27):
I don't want to put it on mytablet, to be honest, because
then it's going to keep comingup.

Speaker 1 (33:31):
Well, no, because then I have to look at it
there's it is horrifying whichI'm sure he could have used for
something I don't know, what didhe have in his?
Kit that he could have.

Speaker 2 (33:40):
I don't know I know Whoa yeah.
Also I'm seeing it onsomebody's hand.

Speaker 3 (33:48):
You know a horrible thing about a camel spider when
they bite, they numb you andthen they just keep eating.
They are horrific.
Do they eat people?
They'll eat anything.
They're especially dangerouswhen soldiers go in foxholes or
stuff like that.
Whoa, Camel spiders arehorrifying creatures.
They're especially dangerouswhen soldiers go in foxholes or
stuff like that.
Camel spiders are horrifyingcreatures.
If one of those ever touched me, I genuinely think my heart

(34:10):
would stop.

Speaker 1 (34:13):
Okay, so don't drink the glow stick.
I just wanted to see what itwas made out of.
It is hydrogen peroxide,oxalate ester and an
electron-rich dye.
I just wanted to see if hecould drink it.

Speaker 3 (34:23):
Well, I knew he couldn't drink it safely, but I
was wondering if it would killyou fast enough.

Speaker 1 (34:28):
It'll hurt your tendon.

Speaker 3 (34:30):
Oh, never mind.
Well, I was wondering if itcould be kind of like a cyanide
pill.

Speaker 1 (34:35):
I was wondering if it would kill him quick.
Just get rid of yourself.

Speaker 3 (34:39):
Yeah, but I was like I wouldn't want to risk it,
because what if it doesn't killyou, but it's just incredibly
painful?
Then that would suck.

Speaker 1 (34:47):
I think best plan chug that alcohol Get wasted.

Speaker 3 (34:51):
Yeah, get wasted and fall asleep, because dying of
suffocating I don't think wouldbe that bad.
Most people report, they justfeel sleepy and then I guess
people don't normally reportwhen they've suffocated.

Speaker 1 (35:02):
But from what they say hey, report when they've
suffocated.
But I from what they say heybro, I just suffocated, come get
me, I got you yeah, let me tellyou all about it, bro.

Speaker 3 (35:10):
But basically, like from what I've heard, like what
they say about it, is that youpretty much just get sleepy and
fall asleep and then never wakeup.
Yeah, which doesn't seem like ahorrible way to go.
You get a little loopy, yeah,you get drunk.
Then you get a little loopy,yeah, you get drunk, then you
get a little loopy, then you geta little sleepy, and then you
just go to sleep and never wakeup.

Speaker 1 (35:28):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (35:28):
Seems fine to me.

Speaker 1 (35:30):
Not the worst way.
I would have at least tried toget out Like I would have used
the knife to try to do something.
I would maybe take off to usethat as a thing to breathe
through.

Speaker 3 (35:40):
it's a lot heavier material, so you block out some
more of the sand.

Speaker 2 (35:44):
Yeah, um, I don't know I mean you get a boatload
of that sand dust in your, inyour lungs.
But better than better thandying.

Speaker 3 (35:52):
Yeah, um, but I mean.
So here's the thing.
Let's say he gets out.
Then now what?
You're in iraq, in the middleof you don't know where.
That's kind of like a do youeven want to get?

Speaker 1 (36:04):
out, iron man made it .

Speaker 3 (36:07):
Tony Stark built this with a box of scraps in a cave.

Speaker 2 (36:12):
I'm not Tony Stark.

Speaker 1 (36:13):
Ryan Reynolds built this in a coffin with his finger
and a snake.
I didn't say that.

Speaker 2 (36:21):
And a snake.
I got a little amazed at howmuch shit he kept pulling out
like.
At first it was just thelighter, then he found a phone,
then he had a flashlight thatdidn't really work well, then he
had glow sticks.
I was like where the fuck is hepulling all of this?

Speaker 3 (36:35):
shit out from.
It's just a testament to men'suh pockets, that's all, oh yeah,
no definitely I can't tell youhow much shit is in my pockets
at all times.

Speaker 2 (36:45):
I I can attest to the same thing.
I have a lot of shit in mypockets.
I pull out my knife and my pen,two knives and a screwdriver
and my phone in my back pocket Icould definitely fit that in my
back pocket.

Speaker 1 (36:57):
Yeah, and then yo up to andy.
We got cargo pants and shit.

Speaker 2 (37:01):
Cargo pants I carry my whole house.

Speaker 3 (37:05):
I hate cargo pants.

Speaker 1 (37:06):
I love cargo pants.

Speaker 3 (37:08):
I like cargo pants.

Speaker 1 (37:09):
I'm wearing cargo shorts, you know what?

Speaker 2 (37:11):
But you got to be careful.
Only soft things in the kneepockets.

Speaker 1 (37:15):
Oh yeah, If you trip.

Speaker 2 (37:17):
No, I've put like a heavy book and then like not a
heavy but like a hardcover bookin my in the knee pocket and
then started running or justsmacking you oh damn, oh yeah,
no, I know that it hits and itjust feels like this sour
feeling that you're like oh,multi-tool in my pocket one day

(37:37):
oh I want to get down on myknees oh, you need right, you
just knelt down right on it toget on to get under something
and it freaking just went inbetween my freaking knee bone
and the the fleshy interior bit.
That sounds good, right there.

Speaker 3 (37:56):
All that jagged metal , just all that nice pressure on
your knee.

Speaker 2 (38:00):
Oh yeah, that sounds good.

Speaker 1 (38:02):
Freaking.
You know what doesn't soundgood being trapped in a box,
yeah.

Speaker 3 (38:06):
I agree.

Speaker 1 (38:08):
I would start like taking off my clothes because I
was claustrophobic.

Speaker 3 (38:11):
Okay, so that's a funny response.

Speaker 1 (38:13):
I'm like not claustrophobic, Like I could
chill in an elevator, you know.

Speaker 2 (38:20):
It's just in an elevator, you know it.
Just, it's the smaller the areait gets.
Oh, it's definitely you knowwhat.
You know what would get me?
And the part that I related tothe most, not not because I've
ever been buried alive oranything like that, but the
claustrophobic feeling I've beenum sleeping bag, tight coiled
up sleeping bag, and woken upnot remembering where I was.
This is also part of theproblem of don't don't drink
heavily.
I was younger and I woke up andI was constricted.

(38:43):
Now, you know, a sleeping bagis soft, right like it gives you
push.
And I was like, and it waspitch black, there was no light,
the fire went out, I, I, youhad to turn to the side to see
even little embers and I'mpushing on the sleeping bag,
completely forgot where the fuckI was.
I thought I was in my bed andthen everything started hitting
me.
I was like, oh my god, it'scold out, it's dark, what, where
am I?

(39:03):
And then it hit like oh my god,I'm camping and I relaxed.
But I'll tell you that feelingwhen he woke up I was like, oh
dang, like, how much worse thatit's.
Like, oh my god, I'm, I'm inthis box, yeah, I'm back in this
, but I was just gone for aminute I, I will say his.

Speaker 3 (39:20):
So alex and I talked about this briefly before we uh
even got into the discord call.
That, I think, right, and thisis very normal and this should
have happened.
I think ryan reynolds actinghas gotten way better over time
and I think this movie kind ofshows that, because the
particularly the only things I Ieven thought anything of were

(39:44):
the crying and the screamingmoments that he did.
They just didn't strike me assuper believable.
But I'm not saying he's a badactor by any means, because one
alex brought up a point thathe's the only actor in these
scenes.
It's really hard to play off ofjust yourself.
But also, I think this was 2010.
So this was 15 years ago.

Speaker 1 (40:06):
I think he's grown as an actor a lot.
I don't know if I can imagineany other actor in this movie
Like imagine Samuel L Jackson.

Speaker 2 (40:14):
Just the whole time, motherfucker.
I'm tired of this motherfuckingsnake in this motherfucking
coffin.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (40:19):
Denzel Washington.
I don't know, I don't know ifit would work.

Speaker 3 (40:22):
What about Mark Wahlberg?

Speaker 1 (40:24):
Really, tom Holland should have been in this.

Speaker 3 (40:27):
But together it should have been Tom Holland and
Ryan Reynolds, I think he waslike what, 14 or something.
I think he was doing like theimpossible.

Speaker 1 (40:35):
Yeah, he was still a little fucking kid.
Also the impossible yeah, hewas still a little fucking kid,
like so also josh.
Uh, in the chat he said howwould someone know they're
afraid of being buried alive ifthey've never been buried alive?
So that's a good point.
So next episode, tune in, we'regonna bury eric alive um oh
what why me, mr beast challenge?

(40:56):
We'll have cameras and stuff inthere.
Um, we'll have literally no wayof getting him out once he's
down there.
It's going to take a second ifthere's any emergency.

Speaker 3 (41:04):
But do I get a million dollars?

Speaker 1 (41:06):
And we will be taking our designated breaks in
between shovels.

Speaker 3 (41:10):
So it's California law.
You can't break Californialabor laws.
You need breaks.

Speaker 1 (41:15):
So if anything happens to Eric, you know we're
not liable, but it's all Josh'sidea, so I guess he's liable.

Speaker 2 (41:20):
Send all your complaints to Josh.

Speaker 1 (41:22):
We also do not have enough money in our podcast fund
for a coffin, specifically anew coffin, so he will be
getting a used one.
Belong to a very nice womannamed Doreen.

Speaker 2 (41:36):
We do have good news for you.

Speaker 3 (41:37):
How used is this coffin?

Speaker 2 (41:39):
She was in it for about 50 years.

Speaker 1 (41:40):
This is good news for you.
How used is this coffin?
She was in it for about 50years.

Speaker 2 (41:41):
This is good news.

Speaker 1 (41:42):
Actively being used.
Yeah, no, we got to go get it,we got to pick it up, oh, okay.

Speaker 2 (41:47):
This is good news.
Okay, Everybody understand this.
We get a discount if we get hima child's coffin.

Speaker 3 (41:54):
Okay, give me something for real.
Can it at least be theSpider-Man one, Okay give me
something For real.

Speaker 1 (41:57):
Can it at least be the Spider-Man one?

Speaker 2 (42:02):
Damn, that got dark.
I don't like that joke.
I laughed first and then I waslike I don't like it.
Oh, the reality hit so hard.
Damn, those are real they arereal.

(42:22):
That hurt my fucking feelingsright now.

Speaker 1 (42:27):
Man, I can't believe that it's so fucking depressing.

Speaker 2 (42:30):
Wow, you have to laugh.
What are you going to do, holymoly.

Speaker 3 (42:36):
You know, one of the first games that, in my opinion,
one that really touched on thatand very subtly but very
impactfully was dying light.
Yeah, one of the first sceneswhen you're in the tower, um,
and you walk out onto this floorand there's just blood
everywhere.
I think it's floor 13 and oneof the first things you see is a
stroller with blood on itsitting by the window, and it

(42:59):
leaves it up to the imagination,because you don't see it, does
it.
It does it to me, yeah becauseyou don't see the kid or
anything you don't even see likea kid zombie, and that not yet.
You see that way later in thegame, but at that moment it's
just a matter of like you knowdid you, do you remember if we
encountered any live children inthat game?
Yes, oh, not live.

Speaker 2 (43:21):
Live like living Undead.

Speaker 1 (43:27):
He's all yes no, not live, Not alive, but not dead.

Speaker 2 (43:31):
I can't remember if in the safe zone there were
babies crying.

Speaker 3 (43:34):
I think there were kids.
I thought I remember thatthere's definitely kids in the
second game.

Speaker 1 (43:39):
It's like assumed that there are, like you know,
not every freaking baby.

Speaker 2 (43:43):
That's another game that would be fun to revisit.
I haven't played it in so long.
There's Dying Light 2.

Speaker 3 (43:49):
I thought you didn't like it.
So here's the thing about DyingLight 2.
Maybe they've made it better.

Speaker 1 (43:54):
They actually have I heard the parkour?

Speaker 3 (43:57):
is.
I didn't have a problem withthe parkour.
I think people were justcomplaining.
To be honest, I think theparkour was fine.
The story was okay.
It was the fighting mechanics.
Dude, the fighting mechanicssucked.
There was no way to not get hit.
It was basically just tradinghits with the AI.
There was no good.
The dodge was on some weird.
I would click the dodge buttonand half a second later I would

(44:20):
dodge.
It was on a weird delay.
My swings never hit when theyshould have.
I felt like my attack speedkept changing with the same
weapon, I don't know.
It felt so clunky.
It didn't feel smooth,especially for a 2020-something
game, 2022 game or somethinglike that, like it should have

(44:41):
been.
So it's a triple a game like itshould have been so much better
and I think they rushed it out,like tj said yeah, they rushed
it out, the game company wasprobably like oh, what ip, can
we suck dry now?
I mean it's a small companythough like they're like a
polish company or something likethey're.
They're not some huge uh dev,so it's, it's a little

(45:02):
disappointing that they theykind of like half released, uh,
the game, at least it just Idon't know, it just didn't feel
polished, it felt very clunky, Ithought dying light was like
the the perfect mechanics.

Speaker 2 (45:14):
Everything felt so good, everything was so smooth.
It was very much likeassassin's creed I could see it,
yeah, but zombies.
With zombies.

Speaker 1 (45:21):
I hope that the new Assassin's Creed is good Okay.

Speaker 2 (45:25):
That's a game that I would actually play the new ones
have not been good.
They haven't.

Speaker 3 (45:30):
No, I mean they're not it's.

Speaker 2 (45:32):
Assassin's Creed, you know the one that I loved Black
Flag.

Speaker 1 (45:34):
Oh, black Flag's great that one will go down.
Everybody fucking loves Black.

Speaker 3 (45:37):
Flag they're redoing it.

Speaker 1 (45:38):
They're doing a remake, oh good.

Speaker 3 (45:40):
Speaking of which, let me ask you guys something.

Speaker 2 (45:42):
This is completely off topic, like we've been off
topic for a little bit here, butinteresting convo.
This is a convo starter foranybody.
If you were anything not if youcould be anything, but if you
were any of these would you be acowboy, a pirate, a samurai, a
ninja or a knight?
Repeat, sorry cowboy, a pirate,a samurai, a ninja or a knight?

Speaker 1 (46:05):
cowboy, I don't want to die of dysentery.
A knight, I don't want to be aknight.
Gross uh, samurai, I don'tthink I want to fight with honor
, because that just meanskilling yourself yeah, I'm good,
uh, so probably a ninja, but inthe sense that like the
jinsukai, the main character ofghost of tsushima, was kind of a

(46:26):
ninja.

Speaker 3 (46:27):
I want to be that guy I, I actually agree, I think
pirate.
I'm not really into whole rapeand pillage thing um night, yeah
, getting scurvy and all they'relike they that I'm I'm not the
cleanest person in the world,but I'm not like that.
I can't do that Night.
The armor is too much for me,man you boys take this way way

(46:51):
too seriously.
We're thinking about thisSamurai.
I'm okay.
To be honest, I've never reallybeen super appealed by samurais
.

Speaker 1 (46:58):
I'd rather go ninja.
Their armor is a little bitjust fucking rice mats.

Speaker 3 (47:04):
Like it's yeah Like.

Speaker 2 (47:09):
But the idea for them is don't get hit, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 3 (47:11):
But I mean, that's also a ninja's point.

Speaker 1 (47:14):
Ninja's an assassin, Because there are literally
famous samurai who will murk youwith a wooden sword.

Speaker 2 (47:21):
Yeah, I but ninjas are assassins.
Well, so hang on.

Speaker 3 (47:24):
Are good with that are we assuming that we're
skilled like we're a skilledpirate or a skilled ninja, or is
it just?

Speaker 2 (47:31):
eric is now a ninja if you were anything, you, if
you were anything, what wouldyou be?

Speaker 3 (47:37):
I mean, I would still have to go, ninja.

Speaker 1 (47:38):
But I'd have to go ninja.
But that also is like that'swhy I want the Assassin's Creed
game to be good, because maincharacter, there's two main
characters.
There's a fucking ninja andthen there's a samurai.
The samurai is black, the onlyblack samurai, the actual dude,
real history, yasuke, that's themain character and he's a big,

(48:01):
heavy bitch and I've seen hisanimation for jumping into the
haystack and he's just like ah,ah, and he fucking smashes into
it, obliterates the haystack andhe's like well, I guess
anything that breaks your fallis good, I guess.
And the freaking other chick islike all graceful and shit.

Speaker 2 (48:21):
She's a grapple hook in ninja times, so both of you
would be ninjas.
I would be a pirate.
I would be a pirate for real.
What up, ninja?

Speaker 3 (48:28):
yeah, I don't know if I could do reels now first of
all, the amount of pirates whodied at sea because the sea is
unforgiving and would just takethe boat is insane.
I don't want to die at sea, tobe honest, and then the whole
like rape and pillage and getscurvy and wooden leg shit.
I mean you don't pass, have tofreaking rape.
You're on a ship of nothing butthe most debaucherous, horrible

(48:52):
people yeah, but they stop atlike like.

Speaker 2 (48:54):
When they go to the pirate-friendly havens, they're
usually filled with brothels.

Speaker 1 (49:00):
And pirate STDs Anyways.

Speaker 3 (49:02):
Yeah, it doesn't sound appealing.
I want to say something.
It's a quick way to make yourwee-wee burn.

Speaker 2 (49:11):
Alex, can you give us the synopsis of the movie?
Well, I mean, I closed it now.
Hold on, give me one second.
Don't put me under pressurelike this.
I can't work under pressure.

Speaker 3 (49:19):
No, hold on, give me one second, don't put me under
pressure like this.

Speaker 2 (49:20):
I can't work under pressure.
Host, I would have beenprepared.
Yeah, you're so prepared.

Speaker 3 (49:23):

Speaker 3 (49:29):
Okay, here we go took him and they want money that he
doesn't have, and then he gobye, bye.

Speaker 1 (49:38):
Okay, alex, you get the synopsis.

Speaker 2 (49:40):
Waking groggy in pitch darkness, paul Conroy, an
American truck driver working inIraq in 2006, slowly realizes
he is trapped inside a woodencoffin, buried alive With his
cigarette lighter.
He can see the trap he is inand he quickly realizes that
there's not enough air for himto live long.
He finds within the coffin aworking cell phone which allows

(50:01):
him contact with the outsideworld.
But the outside world provesnot to be very helpful at
finding a man buried in a box inthe middle of the Iraqi desert.
Paul must rely on his bestresource himself.

Speaker 3 (50:14):
Did I get a point for that?
That's one point for Paul.

Speaker 1 (50:18):
He gets a point for actually reading the actual
synopsis, though.
Okay, that's fair enough.
Oh yeah, his name's Paul.

Speaker 2 (50:27):
Did you call me Paul, or are you giving the?

Speaker 1 (50:29):
point to Paul.
No, he was reading the synopsisand he said oh, paul, fucking,
whatever he's like, oh yeah, hisname's Paul, that's what he
says.
I gave my synopsis but Irealized I didn't give his name.
I was like, oh yeah, themexican terrorist takes him.

Speaker 3 (50:49):
It's crazy in iraq, yes, a mexican terrorist el
chapo actually took him el chapo.

Speaker 2 (50:55):
Yeah, okay, do you got?
Do you got the money?
You got money?
