Could you survive an alien invasion? When towering tripods emerge from beneath the streets, using humans as gardening material for mysterious red plants, would you know what to do?
Steven Spielberg's 2005 adaptation of War of the Worlds offers a masterclass in both catastrophic alien invasion scenarios and questionable parenting choices. Tom Cruise plays Ray Ferrier, a divorced father who suddenly must protect his estranged children from death rays, human desperation, and unhinged basement dwellers.
Throughout our discussion, we break down the critical survival strategies that work in this film - and potentially in real-world disasters too. Ray's resourcefulness with vehicles becomes crucial, while his decision to flee rather than hunker down proves wise given his lack of supplies. We analyze the importance of stealth movement, avoiding confrontation, and the psychological challenges of parenting during crisis. The basement scene particularly highlights the fine line between finding shelter and becoming trapped with unpredictable strangers.
What fascinates us most is the film's exploration of human resilience. The aliens' ultimate downfall comes not from military might but from Earth's bacteria - organisms we've evolved alongside for millennia. This unexpected alliance between humans and microbes delivers a powerful message about adaptation and belonging. As Morgan Freeman's narration suggests, we've earned our place on this planet through countless generations of survival.
Whether you're preparing for the apocalypse or just enjoying disaster cinema, join us as we dissect alien tactics, breakdown of social order, and the surprising advantages humans might have against technologically superior invaders. Remember - having a well-stocked pantry and keeping your Faraday bag ready could make all the difference when the tripods arrive!

Speaker 1 (00:25):
Hello, hello, survivors, and welcome back to

Today we are talking aboutsomething very special, as I say
every fucking episode veryspecial.
How marvelous.
A 2005 film featuring TomCruise.
Yes, a vintage.
Yeah, we're talking about Warof the Worlds movie, released in
(00:47):
2005.
It is a alien invasion movie,which the last alien movie we

Now we don't even like zombiesanymore.
Speaker 3 (00:57):
We're just we're in aliens.
Whoa yeah, we like zombies.
Speaker 1 (01:02):
Yeah, what's your favorite type of alien guys?
You?
Speaker 3 (01:04):
know Me crossing out my entire D&D idea for this.
Speaker 1 (01:10):
Zombies are hereby banned forever and always.
We don't talk about aliens.
What Speaking of aliens, alex,would you like to give us,
because you have a big head?
Speaker 3 (01:28):
I'm just kidding.
Speaker 1 (01:30):
No, it's because you're Mexican.
Speaker 3 (01:32):
Oh, Alex and Eric are here, they're my co-hosts.
Speaker 1 (01:36):
Say hi, resident aliens.
Speaker 3 (01:38):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (01:44):
Wow.
Speaker 1 (01:45):
Hi, I'm Eric.
Speaker 2 (01:47):
And I'm Alex.
Speaker 1 (01:48):
Instead of growing blood vines, you grow frijoles
everywhere.
Would you like to give thesynopsis of the story, Alex?
Speaker 2 (01:58):
I sure would.
An ordinary man has to protecthis children against alien
invaders in this science fictionaction film, freely adapted
from the classic story by hgwells, ray ferrier is a dock
worker living in new york, newjersey, divorced from his first
wife, marianne, and estrangedfrom his two children, rachel
and robbie, of whom he hascustody on weekends on one such
(02:19):
visitation.
Looking after the kids becomesa little more difficult when,
after a series of strangelightning storms hit his
neighborhood, ray discovers thata fleet of Death Ray robotic
spaceships have emerged nearby,part of the first wave of an
all-out alien invasion of theEarth.
Transporting his children fromNew Jersey to Boston in an
attempt to find safety atMarianne's parents' house, ray
(02:40):
must learn to become theprotector and provider he never
was in marriage.
Speaker 1 (02:45):
So yeah, pretty standard plot.
It's very 2012.
2005.
Get in the car, drive away,estranged father.
There's a new husband.
You know it's surprising.
The new husband didn't die,though the wife and the father
did not get back together.
Speaker 3 (03:06):
Yeah, but this father was not great throughout a lot
of it he was definitely like inthe beginning.
He was definitely just asfreaked out as they were, if not
more.
Speaker 1 (03:17):
He was freaked out throughout the whole freaking
thing he locked in near the end.
Speaker 3 (03:21):
Yeah, exactly, he was not great at keeping his kids
calm and under control.
Speaker 1 (03:26):
Yeah, and he didn't give off a very I'm going to
protect you energy, Like whenhis daughter was like, because
the son tried to leave with thearmy, he's like if you leave,
who's going to protect me?
Right?
That would have hurt myfeelings.
Speaker 3 (03:42):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (03:43):
No doubt.
Speaker 3 (03:43):
No doubt that little girl invoked a lot of feelings
for me.
Wanting to punch her was one ofthem, when she screamed in the
car when he was driving.
Speaker 2 (03:54):
She screamed a lot.
Speaker 3 (03:54):
She was like I love mommy Like an instinctual part
of me, just like I just wantedto punch her.
Speaker 1 (04:03):
Like that while driving.
Speaker 3 (04:05):
While driving, you're getting punched.
Speaker 1 (04:07):
That's crazy.
Don't you dare scream in my earlike that.
Speaker 3 (04:10):
Oh, yeah, no seatbelt , I hope.
Speaker 1 (04:12):
I hope is crazy.
Speaker 2 (04:16):
Shout out to Dakota.
Speaker 1 (04:17):
Fanning, you played a really annoying little girl
yeah.
Speaker 2 (04:23):
That gave me the same vibes as world war z when they
were in philadelphia.
And he hits the gas followingthat that dump truck that's just
plowing through, or the garbagetruck that's just plowing
through traffic, and thedaughter's in the back seat
screaming that she wanted her oh, yeah, something doll or
blanket or something yeah,whatever it was, teddy or
whatever it was, yeah, I wasjust driving me absolutely out
(04:46):
of my mind.
Speaker 3 (04:47):
But that was not nearly as bad as like.
It's like what my brother hasstarted doing, where he's like
just high pitch scream at thetop of his lungs until he gets
what he wants and I'm like, bro,I'm going to drop, kick you.
Speaker 1 (05:00):
That's why you keep a nerf.
That is unacceptable.
Speaker 2 (05:03):
Taxing it.
Speaker 1 (05:04):
Tax.
Speaker 2 (05:05):
Damn.
That's why you keep a nerf gun.
Speaker 1 (05:06):
With tax in it.
Damn dude.
Goes far enough in to hurt, butnot enough to do damage.
Speaker 3 (05:10):
I think it'll do damage to a two year old yeah.
Speaker 2 (05:13):
I'm pretty sure it would.
It just goes through their arm,yeah so.
But vastly different, vastlydifferent parenting skills.
So, guys, we are but vastlydifferent parenting skills.
Speaker 1 (05:27):
So, guys we are Will you Survive the Podcast?
We do talk about survival, thatwe do what do you do in the
situation at the start, wheneverything starts popping off?
Do you stay there or do you goon the run, or what's your plan?
Speaker 2 (05:44):
See, in this particular case, I think he made
the right decision to get theheck out of there.
The reason he got the heck outof there was probably not the
best reason for the kid's mentalstate, Because the son was
right.
The whole reason why he wantedto get them to Boston or get
them to her mom was so that hedoesn't have to worry about them
anymore.
He just worries about himself.
And although that's true, Ithink even even Ray knew that he
(06:08):
wasn't the better parent in thesituation.
Speaker 3 (06:16):
So I was kind of thinking that like it is a
little bit selfish, but at thesame time it's also like
realistic.
They hated the way he wasparenting, so it is probably
better that they go with theirmom.
Um, and what I do admire isthat he wasn't willing to leave
them at all, even when it cameto the car and it came to the
military and all these differentpoints where he ran after his
(06:37):
kid into danger and and wasprotecting them, even though all
of his actions were prettycowardly.
Speaker 2 (06:44):
When it counted he was, he was there yeah, yeah,
and he had a couple of thingsgoing for him that we we noticed
throughout the the film.
He is rather resourceful.
You saw this right in thebeginning when he's walking by
the mechanic shop and the guyasks him, you know, he's like
hey, it just died, I don't knowwhat, what's going on, like
nothing's working, so trychanging the solenoid.
(07:05):
And then later on he comes backand he was like hey, you were
right, you know, that's what itwas.
So clearly he's.
He's fairly resourceful.
He can think on his head feet,if you will, if you'll, let me
say that.
And um, he, I guess, yeah, likehe, just his, his brain never
stopped running okay, yeah, nohe.
Speaker 1 (07:23):
He immediately like, as soon as bro clocked that that
car was working, he's like allright, we got 60 seconds, we got
a dip, we don't got that muchtime left.
And it was time to like it wasperfect.
He got in that car and he wasout right when shit started
popping off.
He had a time down.
Speaker 2 (07:46):
Now a couple of things I would bring up, just
because it is tornado season outin the midwest and they are
getting hit with tornadoes allover the place and even where
they were in this movie, in newjersey.
Uh, there have been tornadoesonce or twice and there have
been hurricanes a few times Ithink 28 over the last several
decades, uh.
But wind doesn't typicallytravel toward the center of the
storm, but in tornadoes andhurricanes it does so, although
(08:08):
it's rare.
Please understand that there isa time, especially if you're in
an area prone to uh tornadoesand hurricanes, the wind does
travel toward the center.
So don't.
Speaker 1 (08:19):
Tornadoes can happen anywhere, it just has to happen.
You know, the rightcircumstances have to happen
it's true, been tornadoes inlike washington.
There's been happen, it's true.
There's been tornadoes inWashington.
Speaker 2 (08:26):
There's been tornadoes in Los Angeles.
Speaker 3 (08:28):
There's been tornadoes in France and whatnot
but the main, it's nevercategory fucking flat.
Yeah, the main reason thatTornado Alley.
Tornado Alley just has theperfect set of conditions for
frequent tornadoes.
So there's nothing like thewinds hitting on and it's flat,
frequent tornadoes, so there'snothing like the winds hitting
on, you know and it's where theit's where the cold of the
(08:48):
arctic pushes down and the hotof the gulf pushes up, and they
collide well, the winds comefrom the pacific, they hit the
rockies, they go over therockies, they come down cold
over the warm air that's comingfrom the gulf and when they mix
there in the center they startcircling a bunch and it's just
that perfect spot of, like TJsaid, just nothing but flat land
(09:10):
.
Speaker 2 (09:11):
It doesn't usually go from the Pacific all the way
out.
Look at the air currents.
They travel like rivers, theydon't go straight.
It hits the Rockies and goesnorth.
It goes from the Arctic.
It sweeps south in like aU-turn, goes north, it goes from
the arctic.
It sweeps south in like au-turn.
So when the when the warm airand the cold air collide like
that, because they're they'recrossing paths with each other,
they rub against each other hotand cold air and they cause that
(09:33):
friction, typically causinglightning, storms and then, in
good cases, um, they causetornadoes good yeah, I mean in
ideal conditions oh so in idealconditions they don't happen in
a well ideal for the tornado umthat
spot something else I would saythat he was good at doing was
(09:56):
avoiding confrontation.
Right, he avoided confrontationwith his ex.
Then he avoided theconfrontation when these things
started coming out of the ground.
He was smarter than I thinkmost, in that it was let's get
out of here rather than try tostand your ground and fight or
try to hunker down and hide.
Speaker 1 (10:11):
There was also a lot of luck on his part too, because
once that absolutely grounddude.
He was right there and peopleto his left and his right are
getting freaking dusted.
He ran through somebody who wasjust in front of him who got
dusted.
They're like what do you?
Got on you a whole ass humanbeing down the street.
Speaker 2 (10:30):
I would have freaked out which I'm like ew, yeah,
that was like kind of a big dealtoo is I don't think.
I don't know he definitelydidn't know this, but hunkering
down would have been the worstdecision because he had nothing
for food.
Yeah, remember they get.
Speaker 3 (10:44):
They get to the.
What's all this?
It was everything in youreverything, but hunkering down
would have been the worstdecision because he had nothing
for food.
Yeah, remember, they get to the.
That was so funny.
What's all this?
It was everything in yourkitchen.
Speaker 2 (10:49):
It was everything you had it depends on where they're
at.
Speaker 1 (10:53):
He had no food there but his ex-wife and her family.
They hunkered down.
Speaker 3 (10:59):
They were in the freaking family's house the
whole time they got to havesnacks.
Yeah, oh, grandparents alwaysgot the best snacks.
Speaker 1 (11:06):
So I think it depends you have to.
Speaker 3 (11:09):
so survival tip of the day stay stocked up Always
buy a little bit of extra cannedfood.
Speaker 1 (11:15):
when you're at the store, you know, buy something
you like so you don't have toeat.
Speaker 3 (11:18):
I meant the mom's house.
The mom's house definitely hassnacks.
Oh yeah, the mom's housedefinitely has snacks.
Speaker 1 (11:23):
Oh yeah, the mom's house definitely that fucking
rich ass house dude.
I'd be pissed off if she's likeoh yeah, you gotta go to your
dad's.
Speaker 2 (11:28):
Fuck that wait let me bring something up here,
because this was to me, this waspretty obvious and it was
annoying.
They get to the mom's house,they pull out all of his food.
He has nothing.
Speaker 3 (11:37):
He has nothing but condiments, right then he was
like okay, okay, let's have somesandwiches.
Speaker 2 (11:41):
He was like peanut butter, peanut butter sandwiches
.
She's like I'm allergic.
Why do you have peanut butterif you know your daughter's
allergic?
Speaker 1 (11:48):
Oh yeah no, most people who have peanut allergies
are deathly allergic, evenfriends.
If your friend has an allergy,why would you keep?
Speaker 2 (11:59):
this guy.
It's just, it was so If Ericwas allergic to peanut butter
and he's like coming over.
Speaker 1 (12:04):
I'm gonna keep all that shit and all the shit that
was contaminated away.
Speaker 3 (12:09):
He would have spread it under my pillow.
Speaker 1 (12:11):
Now whatever.
Yeah, I took pictures of himwhile he was sleeping.
I'll put them in the discordNerdy vet makes a very good
point.
Speaker 2 (12:17):
Moms in general have snacks.
Speaker 3 (12:19):
They do.
Speaker 2 (12:19):
Absolutely true.
My wife always has snacks.
Speaker 1 (12:26):
She did before she had kids.
It's true, that's true, butthey definitely had fruit
roll-ups and fruit by the footand gushers and definitely they
had the cheese and the crackerswith the little plastic stick in
it if it's end oh, those aregood if it's end of world, why
are we eating pb and j's?
Why are we not eating all thewhy did they not check the house
for food?
They just didn't.
Speaker 3 (12:44):
That's what I'm saying.
You know, the kids had to haveknown where the food is.
Speaker 2 (12:47):
That's like, but they weren't hungry that's the right
anger that I had.
Right is like that I didn't, Ididn't think that and articulate
that, but that's the right.
That's the anger that I had waslike also you would know your
own house but they weren'thungry.
Speaker 1 (13:00):
That liquid ass.
Peanut butter too, I wouldn'twant that shit either.
Where's the thickness?
This shit is expired.
Speaker 2 (13:07):
Yeah, get away from I mean the creamy peanut butter,
you know, um.
So we also got to see ray uhimplement some things that we
all know are good in almost anydisaster shelter and stealth.
We love talking about thezombie, which would work in the
same context.
Right, when you're making yourmove, we've always said you
(13:29):
hunker down, you bug in for aslong as you possibly can.
I try to aim for 45 days.
If you can go longer, go longer, and the same would account for
major disasters in the area.
If you're not injured and don'thave to go to a hospital after
a major earthquake here in theLos Angeles area, don't leave,
(13:50):
right, you're just adding toproblems on the street.
But then when you have to go,when you have to make your move,
you need to be quiet, you needto be stealthy because you don't
want people coming after you ifthey're in desperate, dire
straits.
Speaker 3 (14:04):
You saw that with the car.
Speaker 2 (14:05):
You saw that with the car Perfect example.
Speaker 3 (14:08):
Yeah, I really think that actually does show what I
think would happen with societyin a situation like this.
I don't really see us all, atleast initially.
I don't see us all bandingtogether.
I see it kind of being like aone for all for a little bit
Right, Until some sort of hope,I think.
Once the first one fell, it'slike okay, there's hope we can
(14:30):
actually destroy these thingssomehow.
Speaker 2 (14:31):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (14:32):
So in this movie it's shown that the aliens use
electromagnetic pulses to knockout all electricity and
everything that's electrical.
If you guys don't know, there'ssomething called a Faraday bag
that can prevent that fromaffecting your devices.
So I would get one and keep aphone in there, keep it charged
(14:54):
and, yeah, keep that in your bagif you're a little bug-out bag
that you can find on nowhere,because we don't have a website.
Speaker 3 (15:02):
What happens if the EMP goes off and I'm charging it
?
Well, no, you, just you know,then I'm screwed.
Speaker 2 (15:07):
Get, good, then you put your other phone in.
You have two.
Well, then you put your otherphone in.
Speaker 1 (15:11):
You have two.
Well, you put your main phone.
Protect your main phone whileyou're charging I wonder if
there's a way to there.
Probably is to like stop yourcar.
Speaker 2 (15:18):
You can uh cooked so I I've heard a couple of
different stories that I wouldlike to try these out, and
there's clearly no way to to dothis in the city, uh, but I
would love to see if this reallyworks.
I've heard that you can useyour microwave as a Faraday box
or a Faraday cage Ooh, yeah,that might work, yeah.
It might, you could fit yourcar in there.
Speaker 1 (15:39):
Well, your phone, it's just like shielding,
because there's fuckingmicrowaves.
Speaker 2 (15:43):
It prevents it from getting out, at least in major
quantities.
Maybe it would protect it fromgetting in major quantities.
Maybe it would protect it fromgetting in.
Speaker 1 (15:52):
Maybe someone in the chat who knows about this kind
of somebody in the chat whoknows how to build an emp.
Can you test that for us?
Thank you, don't actually thisis uh, we do not condone.
We are not responsible for whatanybody else does.
That is true.
Speaker 2 (16:04):
Do you guys ever see oceans?
11 yeah is that?
Wait a minute?
Wait a minute.
We can use a pinch it's a bomb.
Speaker 3 (16:09):
I don't know it well enough to quote it.
Speaker 1 (16:11):
It's a bomb better yet, but without the mayhem and
death and destruction when ericwas uh taken off uh to come here
he hit he hit up the group chatand was like hey, I'm on my way
, you know, I just got on myflight, or he's like I'm at the
airport and I just start sendinghim fucking in, like fucking I
(16:35):
sent him a string of arabic itsaid uh death to america and uh
down with the bloody orange man,or something like that in
arabic started.
Speaker 3 (16:44):
He started with do you have the bomb?
And oh, yeah, oh my god, it'slike I got sent like a naughty
picture.
Speaker 1 (16:52):
I was just like, oh my god, didn't I say like make
sure you hit the space needle orsomething?
Speaker 2 (16:56):
yeah, so I go through .
I go through security at thesame airport you were with a
colleague of mine who happens tobe black and we walk through.
I literally they walk methrough the metal detector.
I didn't even have to gothrough the scanner, they just
walk me through the metaldetector.
I didn't even have to gothrough the scanner, they just
walk me through the metaldetector.
I was like, okay, you know,hands up, we scan.
You put a wand on you.
Okay, all right, keep going,keep going.
(17:16):
And then I see they pull mycolleague out of the line and so
there I am, standing therebecause I have to be the dick
that I am.
I was like, oh yeah, sure, goahead, pick on the only black
guy in line.
Huh, that's why you have to dothat.
And he's just staring at melike shut up dude.
Speaker 1 (17:31):
Yeah, he is the most non-threatening black man I've
ever seen in my life but theydon't stop, alex, though, bro,
no, yeah, I know why they'relike oh yeah, terrorists don't
have bow heads, they should haveliterally been like oh, there's
no need to even scan, you goahead and go right through I was
dying laughing the look on hisface when I said that I go oh
(17:53):
yeah, sure, pull the only blackman out of line.
Speaker 2 (17:56):
We, we see what you're doing.
But they did so because,anybody who doesn't know, I'm
also, I'm brown, I'm a mexican,so it's uh it was jamal.

Speaker 3 (18:30):
Prince albert, oh, okay, the second time, I think,

I'm not going to your black couch with a camera.
Speaker 1 (19:15):
It's like I need you to bend over and cough, please.
Speaker 3 (19:18):
It's not this type of search.
Speaker 2 (19:21):
That's that age-old joke, right, when you go to your
proctologist, you?
Speaker 1 (19:25):
know it's a bad day when you feel both hands on your
shoulders while you'rebottomless.
Speaker 2 (19:36):

I'm going to have to go dosomething.
Speaker 2 (20:54):
Yeah, yeah, I took that guy out and I mean good,
dad, move, yeah.
And I think you alreadymentioned this as he went along,
he got better and better as adad, and that was probably one
of the peak moments.
Yeah, I think another peakmoment was when he went and
tackled his son to prevent himfrom joining the military,
(21:15):
although he kind of left hisdaughter behind Remember that
other couple was going to takeher away.
Speaker 3 (21:19):
Yeah, I mean, but in the chaos it's like you got to
pick one or the other.
He's trying to help both ofthem, he's trying to protect
both of them, and I think thatwas the struggle he was having.
Is that parenting is supposedto be a two-person thing, and
he's by himself in anapocalyptic situation, trying to
take care of two kids.
Speaker 2 (21:37):
No, I totally get that it's just that at 17.
Speaker 1 (21:39):
The son was annoying At 17.
Speaker 2 (21:41):
No, and I'm sorry I don't For the reason you're
saying I would not say the samething, because you in your
saying I would not say the samething because you're annoying,
just go.
But I completely agree.
I mean, he's 17 dude.
I understand.
I completely understand youdon't want to let him go, but
you know I have this little girlto maintain and you want to go
(22:02):
run off and fight these thingsand you're so pissed off and
angry all the time might helpyou might have to go.
You know, go ahead, go see whatit's like and clearly you know
we, we were all wrong, becausehe survived I was shocked about
that.
Speaker 1 (22:17):
In these situations, it's all about protecting the,
the kids, you know.
And uh bro, 17, figure it thefuck out, bro, because I'm gonna
go save my daughter, she'sfucking 10 may I remind you that
it's still a child, yeah.
Eh, give it a year, he won'tlast, it's fine.
The daughter, though, you knowshe's about to get taken by this
couple.
The daughter's like screaming,like my dad's right there, you
(22:40):
can see him.
She's like we're taking youanyway.
Speaker 3 (22:44):
You're ours now.
I love how quickly they're inthe story and then out yeah,
yeah.
Speaker 1 (22:49):
No, that shit was kind of stressing me out, though
I was like leave her the fuckalone they were like we're so
sorry, we just, she just seemedlike she was all alone.
Okay, never mind, bye no, shedid not interaction there.
She was like my dad's rightthere and they weren't even that
far away.
Speaker 2 (23:01):
But that ferry scene I wouldn't get on the boat.
Speaker 3 (23:04):
No, I wouldn't, that's uh, like when they were
all rushing to get on the boat.
I'm like to do what.
It's looking right at you.
What do you think Once you'rein the water you're safe from
the laser beams that are comingfrom that high?
Speaker 2 (23:16):
That is.
I mean I don't know, I don'tknow what, I don't think there
was much rational thought.
Speaker 3 (23:23):
Except for the fact that there was military there.
What was that?
Speaker 2 (23:28):
There was military there.
What was that?
There was military there.
So it was like how was there somuch irrational thought, like
they weren't putting a whole lotof concentration behind it to
make sure that as many peoplewere safe as possible?
Speaker 1 (23:39):
it just it seemed like a 2012 situation kind of
yeah but yeah, no, there had tobe more fucking boats there, you
know, like just regular normalpeople boats which was yeah, but
also still, what good wouldthat do I?
mean like pretty impressive whatI feel like the aliens would go
for, like the mass of people,rather than like if you you find
(24:00):
a little dinghy and you goacross like quiet, maybe cover
yourself up with a blanket orsomething yeah, no, no lights
but you know it was.
You could try the stealthmovement seemed to work.
Yeah, because everybody elsewas getting freaking fried while
they're swimming away quiet andthey made it out, but they're
also like Dude.
Imagine how cold that water was.
Speaker 3 (24:22):
I didn't even consider that, to be honest.
Speaker 1 (24:24):
I normally do consider that, yeah, I think
they ended up changing clothes,but they didn't show it.
But in that situation where youfind they're in like a really
rural area too, where are youfinding clothes at?
Speaker 3 (24:36):
I definitely couldn't find clothes.
Oh yeah, You'd be screwed.
Speaker 1 (24:39):
I would find, like some regular ass dude's shirt
and I'd be wearing it as a croptop.
Speaker 3 (24:45):
I'd find some cute dresses that might be in my size
.
Okay, so cute dresses thatmight be in my size?
Okay, get it, because no malewould be my size.
Never mind, go on, get Eric inthe apocalypse with a fucking
sundress on.
Speaker 1 (24:58):
It's the only thing.
Speaker 3 (24:59):
I can find in my size .
Speaker 1 (25:01):
They're like get him.
He pulls a fucking shotgun outfrom underneath it.
Speaker 3 (25:06):
Didn't see this, bitches.
That's a fucking movie rightthere.
That is.
Speaker 2 (25:09):
And then women wanting to kill him because
their dress is still too big forhim.
Speaker 3 (25:14):
No women wanting to kill me because I look better in
the dress than they do.
Speaker 1 (25:18):
Hey, we were looking good in them suits we had on.
Speaker 3 (25:23):
I was looking pretty good.
I'm just saying you knowWashington 8.
I think that stands, so you areWashington 8.
I think that stands, so thatyou are washington eight.
Yeah, I think it stands,because I came back here and
washington I'm yeah, no, no,you're not that is literally my
self like that is exactly whatit was.
I just had this conversationwith a co-worker and she was
(25:43):
like what do you think you arehere?
And I was like like a four, shefucking died.
And she was like that was sofast I thought about it, the
looks I got up.
There are not the looks I'veever gotten down here.
Oh yeah, I give myself.
Speaker 2 (25:56):
I give myself a solid six.
Like I said, when I've gone upnorth, I've gone up to the forum
for when I've gone up north,just as far as Fresno or San
Francisco, I noticed adifference.
And then I've gone back east, Imean New York, manhattan has
(26:16):
some very attractive women.
Speaker 3 (26:18):
It's like no different than.
Speaker 2 (26:19):
LA very similar and and New York is where I think
the real models are instead ofHollywood, it's more like
theater and business.
I think and modeling Fashion.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 3 (26:31):
Yeah, so I definitely think New York has that.
La is like the Hollywood,everyone's plastic type shit and
then pretty much anywhere else.
That's normal I do decently.
Speaker 1 (26:43):
I think I told you guys I'm like a Minnesota 8.
Speaker 3 (26:48):
You're like a Minnesota 9.
You're just, you're not aMinnesota 9.
You're just not quite whiteenough.
Speaker 2 (26:54):
I think I told you guys about my friend who was
from Washington.
He was from Washington.
He came down here.
Speaker 3 (27:00):
Can you wrangle a bowl, sorry?
Speaker 2 (27:02):
He wanted to try the whole band.
Speaker 1 (27:05):
Thing.
Speaker 2 (27:08):
He wanted to try the whole band thing out here in LA
and his girlfriend stayed behind.
He's starting to make it.
You know he's doing well.
He's getting booked.
People are calling him.
You know they're trying to bookhis band.
It was enjoyable to watch hisband and you know girls liked
him.
He was a cute white guy, blondehair, and his girlfriend comes
(27:31):
down thinking like'm gonna godown there.
I had learned from him that shewas a uh miss washington
runner-up and I was like, ohokay, so clearly she thinks
she's hot, right, she comes downhere and she's like a five max.
She couldn't handle it.
She ended up bailing, goingback up to washington yeah, it's
rough out here.
Speaker 3 (27:46):
I'm not gonna lie.
Speaker 2 (27:47):
She got so mad because she couldn't get any
modeling jobs.
She couldn't get anyrecognition of her attention.
She walked into our restaurantwhere we worked at the time, and
nobody.
She didn't turn heads.
It wasn't like some slow, slowentrance.
What do they call that that?
Uh, I forget her name.
What's the girl's name from?
Um ghost whisperer?
Speaker 3 (28:07):
oh uh, jennifer love, hewitt, jennifer love, it
wasn't like the jenn.
Speaker 2 (28:08):
Jennifer Love Hewitt.
Jennifer Love Hewitt, it wasn'tlike the Jennifer Love Hewitt
moment where she walks in andeverybody stops and turns and
like nothing, nothing.
This girl could not handle it,so she bails off, goes back to
Washington.
Speaker 1 (28:18):
Yeah, dude.
So that's my thought ofWashington.
It's kind of me going toWashington, basically everybody
in Washington.
Speaker 2 (28:22):
So what you're saying is I should go to Washington
bro, irresistible.
Speaker 1 (28:25):
I grew up in Washington, the forearms, if you
just let your beard grow out alittle bit more.
Speaker 3 (28:34):
I think it would be like Let the beard grow.
Yeah, if you grow it out andthen braid it.
Speaker 1 (28:40):
You know.
Speaker 2 (28:41):
Braid it.
Now we're talking.
If I could do that kind of shit, join a biker club, get an
MS-13 tattoo.
Speaker 3 (28:51):
Join a biker club Viking braid.
Speaker 2 (28:52):
Get an MS-13.
Wow, get deported.
Speaker 1 (29:00):
Every Washington goes dream Get a bunch of random
things on your hands.
Speaker 2 (29:04):
that don't add up to MS-13.
Oh my God Jesus, clearlyphotoshopped MS-13.
Get sharpie, you guys.
Speaker 1 (29:15):
You guys are too much this is too much, yo I'm
telling you some head tats youneed some head tattoos if you yo
get tattoos all over your shit,but like have it in like a
hairline, like fuck, like haveit stop I don't, I don't do
tattoos it'd be funny, though,oh you gotta get a matching.
(29:36):
Will you survive?
Tattoo with us, though, beforeyou die?
Speaker 2 (29:39):
we'll do it on your, okay, okay, wait, wait, wait, so
so this is good so nerdy saystj maybe in the tacoma area, but
he'd have to be douchey forSeattle.
I could pull in Seattle, thenyou could pull in Seattle
Because I guarantee you I couldput the douche on.
Speaker 1 (29:54):
Oh yeah, you could pull in Seattle.
I mean, they're all cracked upso they don't know what they're
doing.
Speaker 3 (30:00):
I did see a lot of cracked up people, oh dude.
Speaker 2 (30:11):
There was a couple times I was like damn, she
almost looks pretty if shedidn't look like she was in
another dimension.
Speaker 1 (30:14):
Hey, but look, no, teeth is a different world.
Yeah, eric, got to see fuckingwhitesville, washington aka
aberdeen average.
Oh my god, can't you tell whykurt did what he did?
Yeah, that shit was sodepressing.
Speaker 3 (30:25):
My co-worker is from washington and she is very
familiar with the bars aroundthere.
She knew the boom boom room, bythe way, and she was the one
she also wants to take creditfor planning your bachelor party
and I told her I'll give hercredit for that.
She basically planned thebachelor party for us and told
us like what, what bar, whatstreet to hit up, and, and yeah.
(30:48):
And so we ended up doing that.
Um, why the fuck did I starttalking about this?
I had a point to this.
We were talking about crackedout people.
Uh, you meant you made a grosscomment.
I didn't like no teeth yeah,and then what happened?
Speaker 1 (31:03):
um, I don't know, we're so like, oh, this episode,
so it's to be crazy to fuckingend.
Speaker 3 (31:12):
This is just not even about the movie.
We haven't even talked aboutthe movie at all, and this is a
good movie too.
We're just not on it right now.
Speaker 2 (31:22):
No, I've been talking about the movie.
Speaker 3 (31:24):
Yeah, only you.
Speaker 1 (31:27):
I mean I've asked a couple questions.
I think I've been an okay host.
I tried to get this back ontopic.
It didn't work.
Speaker 3 (31:33):
Oh, you're the host, I am the host yeah.
Speaker 1 (31:38):
I tried to get this back on topic like twice and it
didn't work.
Speaker 3 (31:41):
So I'm just talking Fuck it Great work Thank you it
sounds sarcastic, but I do meanit for real.
Speaker 1 (31:51):
Listen, we didn't record last week, so it's like
you know, we just we're warmingup, we're out of it.
Speaker 3 (31:58):
We're getting back into it.
Speaker 1 (32:00):
It's not going to seem like that for the fucking
fans, because they're going tosee like we already have shit
recorded.
Speaker 3 (32:07):
Yeah, I mean, by the way, go check out our 1408 uh,
just just released.
Speaker 1 (32:13):
I'm talking to the chat uh, you know a mountain.
Speaker 3 (32:15):
Yeah, it's good, that was a good episode.
If you're watching this in thefuture, you should go watch 1408
.
That was a much better episodethan this one, maybe will you
survive 14 listen.
Speaker 1 (32:25):
1408 is a much better movie than this one.
So sorry, steven Spielberg, youfell off.
Speaker 3 (32:30):
Yeah, yeah, that long ago.
Speaker 2 (32:34):
So if you're going to go, look for it, it's.
Will you survive 1408 evilrooms and mental resilience?
Speaker 1 (32:40):
Yes, yes, that pretty much just you know.
That's the gist of it.
Speaker 2 (32:44):
So, okay, let me ask a question.
It's about War of the Worlds.
Oh shit, they were extremelytechnically savvy.
Yeah, everybody agrees.
Speaker 3 (32:54):
The aliens yeah, Sure , yeah so they planted these
things underground.
Speaker 2 (33:00):
Now what would we say ?
They had to have planted thesethings like miles beneath the
surface right, because there'sno way you build cities on top
of these things, and milesbeneath the surface right,
because there's no way you buildcities on top of these things
and don't notice them underthere oh yeah, I mean plumbing
and your what's the deepestsubways, not even like a couple.
Speaker 1 (33:19):
We've been like a couple miles down a couple miles
right drilled before, but likeright they had to be at least
like at least they had to be.
Speaker 2 (33:28):
They had to be miles, being way further than two
miles.
So we can assume that they werevery technically savvy.
They, their suits, the tripodswere extremely technologically
advanced also the the lightningpods into their into their yep,
that's so cool all cool.
Speaker 1 (33:49):
Yeah, that's that takes real, like precision, to
get that because you see howsmall the hole was too.
That's neat right now.
Speaker 2 (33:56):
Is it a plot hole, or is there something to it
technologically, that when thealiens started getting sick, the
tripods lost their shields?
Speaker 3 (34:07):
I do think that the tripods were like, connected to
their being which is that reallythat technically savvy?
Speaker 2 (34:12):
is that really that far advanced?
Speaker 1 (34:14):
well, so my theory is they didn't like really super
plan for humans, you know,because it would have been like
a million years ago.
You know that they put the shitin before humans were like you
know.
So my thought is they're like,hey, this planet looks like we
could, you know, conquer it,just colonize it or whatever
it's you know.
And they bury all the shit andthen like we'll come back later.
(34:36):
And then they come back.
Oh, guess we gotta wipe out allthis, make it habitable
somewhat.
But you know there's a lot ofuh, viruses and shit that like
weren't a thing I and I do.
Speaker 2 (34:47):
I do like that.
Speaker 3 (34:47):
like that because it's not the virus or the
bacteria that did them in, it'sthe evolved state, because the
virus has evolved with humans,that's why I like the idea that
sometimes it's always likescientists uncover prehistoric
bacteria preserved in ice andeverybody's like whoa, whoa,
you're going to start the zombieapocalypse.
Speaker 2 (35:14):
And the reality is like, more likely than not, that
bacteria is probably gonna dieon contact right the air with,
yeah, our immune.
Speaker 1 (35:17):
I mean all viruses will die with contact in the air
for long enough and that's why,to prepare for an alien
invasion, every time I've gottensick with corona, I cough into
a bottle and hawk everythingthat comes out of my lungs into
it, turn it into a fine mist, soI have alien pepper spray ready
.
You can make Molotov cocktailversions.
Yeah, just gotta, no you can'tJust hawk loogies, you can't,
(35:38):
can't, catch it fire.
Oh, you don't know what I'mspitting.
I spit hot fire.
Speaker 3 (35:43):
I spit hot fire.
Speaker 1 (35:47):
I spit hot fire so I finally.
Speaker 2 (35:49):
So I went on this.
Uh, not a deep dive, it was asmall dive.
I dove in the short end ofeminem super fast raps and it
was uh one.
I forget one of his earlierones it was a d12 one, then it
was the uh rap god and then itwas godzilla.
It was in in those that order,but it was when I was watching
(36:13):
the godzilla that I was like isthat fucking?
mike tyson yeah, you texted meabout that I, I, but it was on
my phone so it was like a reallysmall image.
I was like I can't fucking tellif that's mike tyson, dude yeah
, I'm pretty sure it was for themusic video.
Speaker 3 (36:25):
That was so cool.
Yeah, that was a good time.
Speaker 2 (36:28):
So fenis asks I wonder how the aliens would deal
with COVID.
I wonder what bacteria or virusit was.
Now, okay, so here's the thing.
Speaker 3 (36:38):
I wonder if it was a mix of fucking everything.
Speaker 2 (36:41):
I figure it's more of a bacteria thing that's killing
them.
I was going to say that Becausethe viruses adapt to us to kill
us.
Right, I was going to ask youthat because viruses tend to be
less lethal than bacteria.
Speaker 3 (36:56):
Like bacterial pneumonia.
Speaker 2 (36:58):
Yeah, bacteria kills us far more than viruses.
So, here's the thing A virus.
Your body reaches a temperatureof 100.4.
That fever will typically killa virus and your brain is fine
with that however a bacteria,your body will reach
temperatures of 105 degrees plus.
Speaker 1 (37:16):
It'll kill you before it'll kill the bacteria there's
like clearly there's majorproblems, just like survive in a
volcano and be I mean yeah,yeah, um, there's those, but
who's saying the?
Fucking aliens even have likelungs, you know right.
Speaker 3 (37:32):
So, like clearly some some, I agree, even if it was
like exposed to covid what iscovid gonna do to it?
Speaker 1 (37:38):
right, because that's like a rush?
Speaker 2 (37:39):
do they even breathe?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, exactly, thatmakes sense but they'll lose
their taste and smell that'll betrippy here's.
Here's my question to you guys.
What do you think those tripodsdid with the humans they pulled
them in?
Speaker 3 (37:55):
and then they were spraying blood right I think
they were spraying not onlyblood, but I think the guts and
everything that were all over.
Yeah, they were.
Speaker 1 (38:05):
Um, I think they're just trying to make it more
habitable, because they realizedthat hey I don't feel good,
that is so fucked up they'redecorating, they're decorating I
think that is kind of what theywere doing well, yeah, no, I
just think they were trying tomake it more habitable, you know
, like their, their home planetor whatever.
Speaker 3 (38:27):
They were putting up pictures and shit.
Speaker 1 (38:28):
Maybe their home planet's covered in something
that's similar to what our bloodis composed of, like iron and
shit.
I don't know but um so I thinkthey started capturing people
because they were gettingdesperate.
I think that's what?
Because those that didn't havecages on them originally and
they were only they were likejust burning people.
And then, once they startedlike spraying the stuff, they
(38:51):
were like they didn't even havethe cages on the back.
They were just like sucking theblood out of people.
But then they started using thecages.
So I think that's when theystarted like they're like oh,
we're cooked like michael overthere, dude, look his third
leg's falling off.
Like it's crazy.
Speaker 2 (39:03):
So that's, I mean you guys, you guys kind of nailed
it bipod, you kind of nailed itBecome a bipod.
You kind of nailed it on onepoint, because what I'm reading
on it is they were using thehuman blood for red weed.
They called it.
Speaker 3 (39:16):
That was the plant that was growing, they called it
hey, I think me and thesealiens could be homies.
Speaker 1 (39:25):
Fucking rip that shit .
You feel like you're walking onthree legs.
Speaker 2 (39:36):
So it is.
I got a third leg, an invasivealien plant that they were
harvesting using humans, and itsuggests that that was the whole
purpose for them coming toearth was we could be used to
grow that stuff.
You might be right.
I mean, how brutal would thatbe if they were like oh, just a
weed farm.
Yeah, they were gonna just I'dbe so harvest this stuff using
us and then take it back andsmoke it, make a fortune on it.
Speaker 3 (39:55):
No, this is a galactic enterprise, probably.
Speaker 1 (39:57):
Dude, take this back to the Galactic Federation.
We're going to get fucking somuch money.
Speaker 3 (40:03):
The price for red weed on the galactic black
market is crazy.
Speaker 1 (40:09):
Dude, it's crazy 364 galactic credits for a fucking
for a spine.
Speaker 2 (40:14):
Crazy Jesus.
Speaker 1 (40:17):
Oh my God, and they're like dude, we're fucking
pissed.
There was one guy and he had atooth in the middle of his face
and he I'd be like his bloodwould have been kind of weird.
Could have added some.
Speaker 2 (40:28):
That's why they didn't use him at all.
It wasn't a mistake that hedidn't survive.
They just joined his daughterand started walking away.
Speaker 1 (40:32):
They just forgot about him.
Jesus, they're like this one,we'll do, eh, whatever, flip the
car, he's probably dead, nope.
Speaker 3 (40:39):
But yeah, bacteria, that's what did it.
Speaker 2 (40:43):
That's.
Speaker 3 (40:44):
You know what's funny is that I did have a thought in
the beginning of this moviewhere it was kind of like a joke
thought, but it ended up beingtrue Is that when the aliens
first were attacking I was like,ah, but what they're not
considering is that humans areresilient, and then ultimately,
that is kind of what it was.
Speaker 1 (41:04):
Yeah, what God said, because he played God in that
one movie.
Morgan Freeman I couldn't thinkof his name.
That would be a hundred percentCouldn't think of his name.
What Morgan Freeman said isthat we earned our right to be
here Cause we evolved to be here, you know yeah.
Speaker 3 (41:18):
And they didn't bitches.
Speaker 1 (41:20):
We, we which we survived.
Speaker 2 (41:30):
There are some reports that say that there were
humans here, variations ofhumans right Neanderthal and
earlier forms of human that haveall died off, and that we Homo
sapiens are the last livingspecies of human, which is
really interesting.
And if you go down this movie'saccount, we did earn the right
to survive, because we survivednot only each other, but we
survived the evolution of thebacteria and the viruses, and
(41:53):
not only that, I mean, you gotto think how long ago were they
fighting things likesaber-toothed tigers and large
the large, what do they call itSuper fauna?
And apparently archaeologyreveals that humans were hunting
those super fauna.
So it wasn't like we werehiding from them, running away,
like even all the way back then,man, we were trying to take
(42:15):
them down I mean, yeah, you knowhow much meat's on a mammoth.
Speaker 3 (42:18):
Yeah, this is one thing that distractible was
talking about that.
I actually do agree with markon this.
I just think that his numbersin this situation were off.
He's talking about the gorilla,the 100 men versus one gorilla.
So they copied us.
Yeah, they really did.
They copied us.
Wow, for once they did us andwe didn't copy them.
Yep, um, but they were like 100.
Definitely people would win 90.
(42:39):
Definitely people would win 50.
9 out of 10 times people wouldwin.
I could still get behind 50.
I think that's pushing it, butthey were like 30.
Yeah, I think 50 is pushing.
I don't think that's 9 out of10 times.
I think that's like maybe 2 outof 10 times humans win because
50.
I mean, we looked it up agorilla would kill like 30 to 40
people within the first minute,so like that would be really
(43:02):
hard.
Uh, to come back, which is likehow long we have to last before
he gets tired yep, yeah, andeven then like he's just tired,
he's still a gorilla who couldjust swing his arm loosely and
knock someone out.
Yeah, but anyways, um, theywere saying 30, uh, definitely
could still win.
I don't think so.
Then they said 12 men wouldstill win against a gorilla, but
(43:26):
but 10 wouldn't.
And so Mark brought up thisinteresting idea that it's kind
of like a logarithmic function.
It's not necessarily like so.
Like, let's say, it's 1v1.
That's equal 1v2.
All right, that's pushing it,but maybe 1v3.
Absolutely not.
1v3 is very different than 1v2.
And because it's not just like,how do you describe, describe
(43:47):
it?
It's not just like a steadyprogression, it's logarithmic.
There's a point where it's likeno, that got significantly
harder now yeah, it's not linear, it's exactly exponential.
Yeah, and so it's like threeverses are like four versus six
is very, very different, and Ihe was mentioning that in like
think like prehistoric times oryou think like an early man
(44:10):
hunting these things.
It does make sense that six menagainst a saber-toothed tiger
might not seem like a lot, butthat saber-tooth is surrounded
by six predators now that's alot.
Speaker 1 (44:21):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (44:21):
That's enough to at least make it run.
Speaker 1 (44:22):
Yeah, it's like hyenas, you know.
Speaker 3 (44:25):
Yeah, it's power of numbers.
Speaker 1 (44:26):
Yeah, so they'll fucking chase something and just
take little bites out of ittill it's fucking.
Speaker 2 (44:31):
It's done like coyotes lay down fucking take it
yep, yeah, like coyotes.
Speaker 1 (44:35):
Coyotes will just I would say 40 or 50 versus a
female gorilla would be the sameas 100 versus a male I thought
we whittled it all the way downto like 70.
Speaker 3 (44:48):
I think maybe 60 could win we said 100.
Speaker 2 (44:50):
Have you looked at?
Speaker 1 (44:51):
the size of like a female gorilla versus a male
gorilla.
I feel like 50 could take it.
Speaker 3 (44:56):
Average men.
Speaker 2 (44:56):
I haven't seen the size.
Speaker 3 (44:58):
You would have to find 50 average men who are
willing to hit a woman Righthere.
Buddy, Now what I said averagesized TJ.
Speaker 1 (45:11):
Oh my god, I can't believe you just said that
nobody check on Maddie.
Speaker 2 (45:20):
I could beat off at least 100 before my arms got
tired what stop it.
Speaker 3 (45:28):
They can't hear Josh.
Speaker 1 (45:30):
Josh asked how many I know how many average men could
you beat off?
Speaker 2 (45:38):
I tried warning you before we went live that that
was what's gonna happen.
You're gonna talk so I'mlooking at it and it says a.
Speaker 1 (45:47):
This episode is so cut.
We're back to the gorillaconversation In the timeline,
that's two episodes ago.
Speaker 2 (45:57):
You brought it up he brought it up 2 to 5 feet tall
and weigh 150 to 250 pounds.
That's about the size of anaverage man.
Speaker 1 (46:07):
Okay so fuck it.
A silverback.
Speaker 3 (46:09):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, 35 silverback gorilla, yeah a male
is 1500 and a female is 150.
That doesn't seem right.
Silverback gorilla, not just achimp no, that's chimps, aren't
gorillas chimps are apes but notgorillas.
Okay, you say that like that isnot something that could be
confused.
Speaker 1 (46:25):
All gorillas arees, but not all apes are gorillas,
it's not like they're.
Speaker 2 (46:29):
Yeah, dude.
No way Smaller than malesstanding around, four to five
feet tall, weighing 150 to 250pounds.
In contrast, POV, however, incontrast, male silverbacks can
weigh up to 600 pounds.
Oh, okay, and grow five to sixfeet.
Speaker 1 (46:46):
How Eric feels when he was at my age.
No.
Speaker 2 (46:49):
I think you were talking about grip strength and
all of that.
Speaker 1 (46:53):
Bite strength 1,500 pounds.
I'm sure it's grippy.
Speaker 3 (46:57):
What, that's still crazy though what?
I'm just a million feet at thispoint, but that's still crazy.
Speaker 2 (47:02):
I thought they would have weighed more.
Speaker 3 (47:03):
Yeah, I definitely think maybe 30 to 40 men could
take a female silverback Onebottle down think like maybe
like 30 to 40 men could take afemale silverback one bottle
down.
Speaker 1 (47:11):
I could do it, only 150.
It's still a gorilla, it's puremuscle, it is.
It is a gorilla, and a chimpthat's smaller could rip your
face off.
So yeah, I feel like 10 of mecould do.
Yeah, I do think you are stilla threat, yeah 10 of me could do
it, with probably three of medying.
Speaker 3 (47:26):
Okay, so how many of me?
160.
Speaker 1 (47:30):
Okay, the gorilla would use you as a bat.
Speaker 3 (47:34):
To hit the others.
Yeah, how many of me with aprison, shank 16.
I say 13.
Third Wait, wait, wait.
Speaker 1 (47:49):
What's the shank made out of?
Speaker 3 (47:50):
Is it a?
Speaker 1 (47:50):
toothbrush or is it a piece of glass or what it's a
comb, comb.
Ooh, prison combs aren't reallythe best quality.
Speaker 3 (47:57):
It doesn't have to be .
It's about how you use it,that's it.
Speaker 2 (48:00):
You only get like two or three shanks on it, I'll
drop it just to an even 15.
If you all have one shank andI'm sure, a couple of them are
breaking.
Speaker 3 (48:12):
So yeah they're, they're gonna break off inside.
They're not even gonnapenetrate the skin.
Speaker 2 (48:14):
No, they do, they will.
The gorilla skin is gonna bevery similar to ours just skin
and muscle.
Speaker 1 (48:20):
Just you get the right spots, they're still, I
mean, just as delicate as we arehave you seen like people with
that one condition where thehair on like everywhere on their
body just grows?
Yeah, like you I am really notEric is hairier than me.
Speaker 2 (48:34):
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, I feel like I took some
friendly fire here.
Speaker 3 (48:37):
You can't even see my hair on the camera.
Speaker 2 (48:39):
That's true, you can see my sick tattoo though.
Speaker 1 (48:41):
Aha, aha, aha, Anyways.

Hello, hello, survivors, and welcome back to
another episode of Will youSurvive, the Podcast.
Today we are talking aboutsomething very special, as I say
every fucking episode veryspecial.
How marvelous.
A 2005 film featuring TomCruise.
Yes, a vintage.
Yeah, we're talking about Warof the Worlds movie, released in
(00:47):
2005.
It is a alien invasion movie,which the last alien movie we
did was Science Skip aroundzombies.
Now we don't even like zombiesanymore.
Speaker 3 (00:57):
We're just we're in aliens.
Whoa yeah, we like zombies.
Speaker 1 (01:02):
Yeah, what's your favorite type of alien guys?
You?
Speaker 3 (01:04):
know Me crossing out my entire D&D idea for this.
Speaker 1 (01:10):
Zombies are hereby banned forever and always.
We don't talk about aliens.
What Speaking of aliens, alex,would you like to give us,
because you have a big head?
Speaker 3 (01:28):
I'm just kidding.
Speaker 1 (01:30):
No, it's because you're Mexican.
Speaker 3 (01:32):
Oh, Alex and Eric are here, they're my co-hosts.
Speaker 1 (01:36):
Say hi, resident aliens.
Speaker 3 (01:38):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (01:44):
Wow.
Speaker 1 (01:45):
Hi, I'm Eric.
Speaker 2 (01:47):
And I'm Alex.
Speaker 1 (01:48):
Instead of growing blood vines, you grow frijoles
everywhere.
Would you like to give thesynopsis of the story, Alex?
Speaker 2 (01:58):
I sure would.
An ordinary man has to protecthis children against alien
invaders in this science fictionaction film, freely adapted
from the classic story by hgwells, ray ferrier is a dock
worker living in new york, newjersey, divorced from his first
wife, marianne, and estrangedfrom his two children, rachel
and robbie, of whom he hascustody on weekends on one such
(02:19):
visitation.
Looking after the kids becomesa little more difficult when,
after a series of strangelightning storms hit his
neighborhood, ray discovers thata fleet of Death Ray robotic
spaceships have emerged nearby,part of the first wave of an
all-out alien invasion of theEarth.
Transporting his children fromNew Jersey to Boston in an
attempt to find safety atMarianne's parents' house, ray
(02:40):
must learn to become theprotector and provider he never
was in marriage.
Speaker 1 (02:45):
So yeah, pretty standard plot.
It's very 2012.
2005.
Get in the car, drive away,estranged father.
There's a new husband.
You know it's surprising.
The new husband didn't die,though the wife and the father
did not get back together.
Speaker 3 (03:06):
Yeah, but this father was not great throughout a lot
of it he was definitely like inthe beginning.
He was definitely just asfreaked out as they were, if not
more.
Speaker 1 (03:17):
He was freaked out throughout the whole freaking
thing he locked in near the end.
Speaker 3 (03:21):
Yeah, exactly, he was not great at keeping his kids
calm and under control.
Speaker 1 (03:26):
Yeah, and he didn't give off a very I'm going to
protect you energy, Like whenhis daughter was like, because
the son tried to leave with thearmy, he's like if you leave,
who's going to protect me?
Right?
That would have hurt myfeelings.
Speaker 3 (03:42):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (03:43):
No doubt.
Speaker 3 (03:43):
No doubt that little girl invoked a lot of feelings
for me.
Wanting to punch her was one ofthem, when she screamed in the
car when he was driving.
Speaker 2 (03:54):
She screamed a lot.
Speaker 3 (03:54):
She was like I love mommy Like an instinctual part
of me, just like I just wantedto punch her.
Speaker 1 (04:03):
Like that while driving.
Speaker 3 (04:05):
While driving, you're getting punched.
Speaker 1 (04:07):
That's crazy.
Don't you dare scream in my earlike that.
Speaker 3 (04:10):
Oh, yeah, no seatbelt , I hope.
Speaker 1 (04:12):
I hope is crazy.
Speaker 2 (04:16):
Shout out to Dakota.
Speaker 1 (04:17):
Fanning, you played a really annoying little girl
yeah.
Speaker 2 (04:23):
That gave me the same vibes as world war z when they
were in philadelphia.
And he hits the gas followingthat that dump truck that's just
plowing through, or the garbagetruck that's just plowing
through traffic, and thedaughter's in the back seat
screaming that she wanted her oh, yeah, something doll or
blanket or something yeah,whatever it was, teddy or
whatever it was, yeah, I wasjust driving me absolutely out
(04:46):
of my mind.
Speaker 3 (04:47):
But that was not nearly as bad as like.
It's like what my brother hasstarted doing, where he's like
just high pitch scream at thetop of his lungs until he gets
what he wants and I'm like, bro,I'm going to drop, kick you.
Speaker 1 (05:00):
That's why you keep a nerf.
That is unacceptable.
Speaker 2 (05:03):
Taxing it.
Speaker 1 (05:04):
Tax.
Speaker 2 (05:05):
Damn.
That's why you keep a nerf gun.
Speaker 1 (05:06):
With tax in it.
Damn dude.
Goes far enough in to hurt, butnot enough to do damage.
Speaker 3 (05:10):
I think it'll do damage to a two year old yeah.
Speaker 2 (05:13):
I'm pretty sure it would.
It just goes through their arm,yeah so.
But vastly different, vastlydifferent parenting skills.
So, guys, we are but vastlydifferent parenting skills.
Speaker 1 (05:27):
So, guys we are Will you Survive the Podcast?
We do talk about survival, thatwe do what do you do in the
situation at the start, wheneverything starts popping off?
Do you stay there or do you goon the run, or what's your plan?
Speaker 2 (05:44):
See, in this particular case, I think he made
the right decision to get theheck out of there.
The reason he got the heck outof there was probably not the
best reason for the kid's mentalstate, Because the son was
right.
The whole reason why he wantedto get them to Boston or get
them to her mom was so that hedoesn't have to worry about them
anymore.
He just worries about himself.
And although that's true, Ithink even even Ray knew that he
(06:08):
wasn't the better parent in thesituation.
Speaker 3 (06:16):
So I was kind of thinking that like it is a
little bit selfish, but at thesame time it's also like
realistic.
They hated the way he wasparenting, so it is probably
better that they go with theirmom.
Um, and what I do admire isthat he wasn't willing to leave
them at all, even when it cameto the car and it came to the
military and all these differentpoints where he ran after his
(06:37):
kid into danger and and wasprotecting them, even though all
of his actions were prettycowardly.
Speaker 2 (06:44):
When it counted he was, he was there yeah, yeah,
and he had a couple of thingsgoing for him that we we noticed
throughout the the film.
He is rather resourceful.
You saw this right in thebeginning when he's walking by
the mechanic shop and the guyasks him, you know, he's like
hey, it just died, I don't knowwhat, what's going on, like
nothing's working, so trychanging the solenoid.
(07:05):
And then later on he comes backand he was like hey, you were
right, you know, that's what itwas.
So clearly he's.
He's fairly resourceful.
He can think on his head feet,if you will, if you'll, let me
say that.
And um, he, I guess, yeah, likehe, just his, his brain never
stopped running okay, yeah, nohe.
Speaker 1 (07:23):
He immediately like, as soon as bro clocked that that
car was working, he's like allright, we got 60 seconds, we got
a dip, we don't got that muchtime left.
And it was time to like it wasperfect.
He got in that car and he wasout right when shit started
popping off.
He had a time down.
Speaker 2 (07:46):
Now a couple of things I would bring up, just
because it is tornado season outin the midwest and they are
getting hit with tornadoes allover the place and even where
they were in this movie, in newjersey.
Uh, there have been tornadoesonce or twice and there have
been hurricanes a few times Ithink 28 over the last several
decades, uh.
But wind doesn't typicallytravel toward the center of the
storm, but in tornadoes andhurricanes it does so, although
(08:08):
it's rare.
Please understand that there isa time, especially if you're in
an area prone to uh tornadoesand hurricanes, the wind does
travel toward the center.
So don't.
Speaker 1 (08:19):
Tornadoes can happen anywhere, it just has to happen.
You know, the rightcircumstances have to happen
it's true, been tornadoes inlike washington.
There's been happen, it's true.
There's been tornadoes inWashington.
Speaker 2 (08:26):
There's been tornadoes in Los Angeles.
Speaker 3 (08:28):
There's been tornadoes in France and whatnot
but the main, it's nevercategory fucking flat.
Yeah, the main reason thatTornado Alley.
Tornado Alley just has theperfect set of conditions for
frequent tornadoes.
So there's nothing like thewinds hitting on and it's flat,
frequent tornadoes, so there'snothing like the winds hitting
on, you know and it's where theit's where the cold of the
(08:48):
arctic pushes down and the hotof the gulf pushes up, and they
collide well, the winds comefrom the pacific, they hit the
rockies, they go over therockies, they come down cold
over the warm air that's comingfrom the gulf and when they mix
there in the center they startcircling a bunch and it's just
that perfect spot of, like TJsaid, just nothing but flat land
(09:10):
.
Speaker 2 (09:11):
It doesn't usually go from the Pacific all the way
out.
Look at the air currents.
They travel like rivers, theydon't go straight.
It hits the Rockies and goesnorth.
It goes from the Arctic.
It sweeps south in like aU-turn, goes north, it goes from
the arctic.
It sweeps south in like au-turn.
So when the when the warm airand the cold air collide like
that, because they're they'recrossing paths with each other,
they rub against each other hotand cold air and they cause that
(09:33):
friction, typically causinglightning, storms and then, in
good cases, um, they causetornadoes good yeah, I mean in
ideal conditions oh so in idealconditions they don't happen in
a well ideal for the tornado umthat
spot something else I would saythat he was good at doing was
(09:56):
avoiding confrontation.
Right, he avoided confrontationwith his ex.
Then he avoided theconfrontation when these things
started coming out of the ground.
He was smarter than I thinkmost, in that it was let's get
out of here rather than try tostand your ground and fight or
try to hunker down and hide.
Speaker 1 (10:11):
There was also a lot of luck on his part too, because
once that absolutely grounddude.
He was right there and peopleto his left and his right are
getting freaking dusted.
He ran through somebody who wasjust in front of him who got
dusted.
They're like what do you?
Got on you a whole ass humanbeing down the street.
Speaker 2 (10:30):
I would have freaked out which I'm like ew, yeah,
that was like kind of a big dealtoo is I don't think.
I don't know he definitelydidn't know this, but hunkering
down would have been the worstdecision because he had nothing
for food.
Yeah, remember they get.
Speaker 3 (10:44):
They get to the.
What's all this?
It was everything in youreverything, but hunkering down
would have been the worstdecision because he had nothing
for food.
Yeah, remember, they get to the.
That was so funny.
What's all this?
It was everything in yourkitchen.
Speaker 2 (10:49):
It was everything you had it depends on where they're
at.
Speaker 1 (10:53):
He had no food there but his ex-wife and her family.
They hunkered down.
Speaker 3 (10:59):
They were in the freaking family's house the
whole time they got to havesnacks.
Yeah, oh, grandparents alwaysgot the best snacks.
Speaker 1 (11:06):
So I think it depends you have to.
Speaker 3 (11:09):
so survival tip of the day stay stocked up Always
buy a little bit of extra cannedfood.
Speaker 1 (11:15):
when you're at the store, you know, buy something
you like so you don't have toeat.
Speaker 3 (11:18):
I meant the mom's house.
The mom's house definitely hassnacks.
Oh yeah, the mom's housedefinitely has snacks.
Speaker 1 (11:23):
Oh yeah, the mom's house definitely that fucking
rich ass house dude.
I'd be pissed off if she's likeoh yeah, you gotta go to your
dad's.
Speaker 2 (11:28):
Fuck that wait let me bring something up here,
because this was to me, this waspretty obvious and it was
annoying.
They get to the mom's house,they pull out all of his food.
He has nothing.
Speaker 3 (11:37):
He has nothing but condiments, right then he was
like okay, okay, let's have somesandwiches.
Speaker 2 (11:41):
He was like peanut butter, peanut butter sandwiches
.
She's like I'm allergic.
Why do you have peanut butterif you know your daughter's
allergic?
Speaker 1 (11:48):
Oh yeah no, most people who have peanut allergies
are deathly allergic, evenfriends.
If your friend has an allergy,why would you keep?
Speaker 2 (11:59):
this guy.
It's just, it was so If Ericwas allergic to peanut butter
and he's like coming over.
Speaker 1 (12:04):
I'm gonna keep all that shit and all the shit that
was contaminated away.
Speaker 3 (12:09):
He would have spread it under my pillow.
Speaker 1 (12:11):
Now whatever.
Yeah, I took pictures of himwhile he was sleeping.
I'll put them in the discordNerdy vet makes a very good
point.
Speaker 2 (12:17):
Moms in general have snacks.
Speaker 3 (12:19):
They do.
Speaker 2 (12:19):
Absolutely true.
My wife always has snacks.
Speaker 1 (12:26):
She did before she had kids.
It's true, that's true, butthey definitely had fruit
roll-ups and fruit by the footand gushers and definitely they
had the cheese and the crackerswith the little plastic stick in
it if it's end oh, those aregood if it's end of world, why
are we eating pb and j's?
Why are we not eating all thewhy did they not check the house
for food?
They just didn't.
Speaker 3 (12:44):
That's what I'm saying.
You know, the kids had to haveknown where the food is.
Speaker 2 (12:47):
That's like, but they weren't hungry that's the right
anger that I had.
Right is like that I didn't, Ididn't think that and articulate
that, but that's the right.
That's the anger that I had waslike also you would know your
own house but they weren'thungry.
Speaker 1 (13:00):
That liquid ass.
Peanut butter too, I wouldn'twant that shit either.
Where's the thickness?
This shit is expired.
Speaker 2 (13:07):
Yeah, get away from I mean the creamy peanut butter,
you know, um.
So we also got to see ray uhimplement some things that we
all know are good in almost anydisaster shelter and stealth.
We love talking about thezombie, which would work in the
same context.
Right, when you're making yourmove, we've always said you
(13:29):
hunker down, you bug in for aslong as you possibly can.
I try to aim for 45 days.
If you can go longer, go longer, and the same would account for
major disasters in the area.
If you're not injured and don'thave to go to a hospital after
a major earthquake here in theLos Angeles area, don't leave,
(13:50):
right, you're just adding toproblems on the street.
But then when you have to go,when you have to make your move,
you need to be quiet, you needto be stealthy because you don't
want people coming after you ifthey're in desperate, dire
straits.
Speaker 3 (14:04):
You saw that with the car.
Speaker 2 (14:05):
You saw that with the car Perfect example.
Speaker 3 (14:08):
Yeah, I really think that actually does show what I
think would happen with societyin a situation like this.
I don't really see us all, atleast initially.
I don't see us all bandingtogether.
I see it kind of being like aone for all for a little bit
Right, Until some sort of hope,I think.
Once the first one fell, it'slike okay, there's hope we can
(14:30):
actually destroy these thingssomehow.
Speaker 2 (14:31):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (14:32):
So in this movie it's shown that the aliens use
electromagnetic pulses to knockout all electricity and
everything that's electrical.
If you guys don't know, there'ssomething called a Faraday bag
that can prevent that fromaffecting your devices.
So I would get one and keep aphone in there, keep it charged
(14:54):
and, yeah, keep that in your bagif you're a little bug-out bag
that you can find on nowhere,because we don't have a website.
Speaker 3 (15:02):
What happens if the EMP goes off and I'm charging it
?
Well, no, you, just you know,then I'm screwed.
Speaker 2 (15:07):
Get, good, then you put your other phone in.
You have two.
Well, then you put your otherphone in.
Speaker 1 (15:11):
You have two.
Well, you put your main phone.
Protect your main phone whileyou're charging I wonder if
there's a way to there.
Probably is to like stop yourcar.
Speaker 2 (15:18):
You can uh cooked so I I've heard a couple of
different stories that I wouldlike to try these out, and
there's clearly no way to to dothis in the city, uh, but I
would love to see if this reallyworks.
I've heard that you can useyour microwave as a Faraday box
or a Faraday cage Ooh, yeah,that might work, yeah.
It might, you could fit yourcar in there.
Speaker 1 (15:39):
Well, your phone, it's just like shielding,
because there's fuckingmicrowaves.
Speaker 2 (15:43):
It prevents it from getting out, at least in major
quantities.
Maybe it would protect it fromgetting in major quantities.
Maybe it would protect it fromgetting in.
Speaker 1 (15:52):
Maybe someone in the chat who knows about this kind
of somebody in the chat whoknows how to build an emp.
Can you test that for us?
Thank you, don't actually thisis uh, we do not condone.
We are not responsible for whatanybody else does.
That is true.
Speaker 2 (16:04):
Do you guys ever see oceans?
11 yeah is that?
Wait a minute?
Wait a minute.
We can use a pinch it's a bomb.
Speaker 3 (16:09):
I don't know it well enough to quote it.
Speaker 1 (16:11):
It's a bomb better yet, but without the mayhem and
death and destruction when ericwas uh taken off uh to come here
he hit he hit up the group chatand was like hey, I'm on my way
, you know, I just got on myflight, or he's like I'm at the
airport and I just start sendinghim fucking in, like fucking I
(16:35):
sent him a string of arabic itsaid uh death to america and uh
down with the bloody orange man,or something like that in
arabic started.
Speaker 3 (16:44):
He started with do you have the bomb?
And oh, yeah, oh my god, it'slike I got sent like a naughty
picture.
Speaker 1 (16:52):
I was just like, oh my god, didn't I say like make
sure you hit the space needle orsomething?
Speaker 2 (16:56):
yeah, so I go through .
I go through security at thesame airport you were with a
colleague of mine who happens tobe black and we walk through.
I literally they walk methrough the metal detector.
I didn't even have to gothrough the scanner, they just
walk me through the metaldetector.
I didn't even have to gothrough the scanner, they just
walk me through the metaldetector.
I was like, okay, you know,hands up, we scan.
You put a wand on you.
Okay, all right, keep going,keep going.
(17:16):
And then I see they pull mycolleague out of the line and so
there I am, standing therebecause I have to be the dick
that I am.
I was like, oh yeah, sure, goahead, pick on the only black
guy in line.
Huh, that's why you have to dothat.
And he's just staring at melike shut up dude.
Speaker 1 (17:31):
Yeah, he is the most non-threatening black man I've
ever seen in my life but theydon't stop, alex, though, bro,
no, yeah, I know why they'relike oh yeah, terrorists don't
have bow heads, they should haveliterally been like oh, there's
no need to even scan, you goahead and go right through I was
dying laughing the look on hisface when I said that I go oh
(17:53):
yeah, sure, pull the only blackman out of line.
Speaker 2 (17:56):
We, we see what you're doing.
But they did so because,anybody who doesn't know, I'm
also, I'm brown, I'm a mexican,so it's uh it was jamal.
Speaker 1 (18:04):
Did you hide your?
Speaker 3 (18:05):
nine did you keister it?
Don't check the prison pocket,that's what I was saying.
Speaker 1 (18:14):
Just hey, did you hide it?
Did you hide it good, I thinkyou're fine, you hit it good, I
think I think hey, fine, hey,can you hear?
Speaker 3 (18:20):
me.
Both times that I went through,uh, the scanner, my groin lit
up what the fuck?
Speaker 1 (18:28):
I don't have any piercings down there, anything
the first time.
Speaker 3 (18:30):
Prince albert, oh, okay, the second time, I think,
was a little piece of paper thatI knew was in my pocket and I
was like no way that sets it off.
And it did, and both times theguy's like I'm gonna have to
frisk you uh I'm gonna gobackside of my hands.
Um, I'm gonna just go side toside and then I'm gonna go up
the pant legs and then I'm gonnado the same for the behind.
(18:51):
Um, do you want to do this inprivate?
And I'm like, no, what am I gay?
Speaker 2 (18:55):
that's funny.
It's like hey, I'm like no, Ineed witnesses around here yeah
Speaker 3 (19:00):
we're not gonna do this in private yeah, frisk me
here or don't frisk me at all Idon't trust you.
Speaker 2 (19:06):
We're not going.
We're not going somewhere alone, we're not going behind a
screen, you're going to buy medinner first, for that kind of
activity.
Speaker 3 (19:12):
I'm not going to your black couch with a camera.
Speaker 1 (19:15):
It's like I need you to bend over and cough, please.
Speaker 3 (19:18):
It's not this type of search.
Speaker 2 (19:21):
That's that age-old joke, right, when you go to your
proctologist, you?
Speaker 1 (19:25):
know it's a bad day when you feel both hands on your
shoulders while you'rebottomless.
Speaker 2 (19:36):
That's a 21 Pilots line.
That's the joke.
That's exactly the joke.
Speaker 1 (19:40):
Oh, dude, I love Disarano.
Speaker 2 (19:43):
It's good, oh good, I like this mead.
Speaker 1 (19:46):
Yeah, no, that is great.
We had some in a um a keg theretoo.
Speaker 3 (19:51):
it's fucking good all ice cold and whatnot nice the
thing about this meat is thatlike the first sip is kind of
like oh, that's harsh, and theneverything after that is just
like juice that's cute I don'tthink this is hard what do you?
Speaker 1 (20:05):
guys, because we are talking about a movie.
What do you guys?
Speaker 3 (20:08):
what would be your?
Speaker 1 (20:09):
would you go and stay in that basement with that nice
, non-crazy fellow?
Speaker 3 (20:15):
You don't really have much of a choice.
I don't think he had hisdaughter, so I think I don't
know, Because he didn't knowthat that was going to be like
the new grounds for the aliens,and running doesn't really seem
like a great idea in thatsituation either aliens but and
running doesn't really seem likea great idea in that situation
either.
Speaker 2 (20:33):
So, and you also didn't know that this guy was
going to be so crazy as to startsaying shit like we're going to
have to rebuild society, likelooking at your daughter yeah,
oh yeah, no, as soon as he spokeany words to my daughter?
Speaker 3 (20:42):
yeah, oh, I, I actually thought that was
flowers I thought that was agreat dad moment for him, where
he was like here, here, you know, just cover your ears and don't
listen.
I'm going to have to go dosomething.
Speaker 2 (20:54):
Yeah, yeah, I took that guy out and I mean good,
dad, move, yeah.
And I think you alreadymentioned this as he went along,
he got better and better as adad, and that was probably one
of the peak moments.
Yeah, I think another peakmoment was when he went and
tackled his son to prevent himfrom joining the military,
(21:15):
although he kind of left hisdaughter behind Remember that
other couple was going to takeher away.
Speaker 3 (21:19):
Yeah, I mean, but in the chaos it's like you got to
pick one or the other.
He's trying to help both ofthem, he's trying to protect
both of them, and I think thatwas the struggle he was having.
Is that parenting is supposedto be a two-person thing, and
he's by himself in anapocalyptic situation, trying to
take care of two kids.
Speaker 2 (21:37):
No, I totally get that it's just that at 17.
Speaker 1 (21:39):
The son was annoying At 17.
Speaker 2 (21:41):
No, and I'm sorry I don't For the reason you're
saying I would not say the samething, because you in your
saying I would not say the samething because you're annoying,
just go.
But I completely agree.
I mean, he's 17 dude.
I understand.
I completely understand youdon't want to let him go, but
you know I have this little girlto maintain and you want to go
(22:02):
run off and fight these thingsand you're so pissed off and
angry all the time might helpyou might have to go.
You know, go ahead, go see whatit's like and clearly you know
we, we were all wrong, becausehe survived I was shocked about
that.
Speaker 1 (22:17):
In these situations, it's all about protecting the,
the kids, you know.
And uh bro, 17, figure it thefuck out, bro, because I'm gonna
go save my daughter, she'sfucking 10 may I remind you that
it's still a child, yeah.
Eh, give it a year, he won'tlast, it's fine.
The daughter, though, you knowshe's about to get taken by this
couple.
The daughter's like screaming,like my dad's right there, you
(22:40):
can see him.
She's like we're taking youanyway.
Speaker 3 (22:44):
You're ours now.
I love how quickly they're inthe story and then out yeah,
yeah.
Speaker 1 (22:49):
No, that shit was kind of stressing me out, though
I was like leave her the fuckalone they were like we're so
sorry, we just, she just seemedlike she was all alone.
Okay, never mind, bye no, shedid not interaction there.
She was like my dad's rightthere and they weren't even that
far away.
Speaker 2 (23:01):
But that ferry scene I wouldn't get on the boat.
Speaker 3 (23:04):
No, I wouldn't, that's uh, like when they were
all rushing to get on the boat.
I'm like to do what.
It's looking right at you.
What do you think Once you'rein the water you're safe from
the laser beams that are comingfrom that high?
Speaker 2 (23:16):
That is.
I mean I don't know, I don'tknow what, I don't think there
was much rational thought.
Speaker 3 (23:23):
Except for the fact that there was military there.
What was that?
Speaker 2 (23:28):
There was military there.
What was that?
There was military there.
So it was like how was there somuch irrational thought, like
they weren't putting a whole lotof concentration behind it to
make sure that as many peoplewere safe as possible?
Speaker 1 (23:39):
it just it seemed like a 2012 situation kind of
yeah but yeah, no, there had tobe more fucking boats there, you
know, like just regular normalpeople boats which was yeah, but
also still, what good wouldthat do I?
mean like pretty impressive whatI feel like the aliens would go
for, like the mass of people,rather than like if you you find
(24:00):
a little dinghy and you goacross like quiet, maybe cover
yourself up with a blanket orsomething yeah, no, no lights
but you know it was.
You could try the stealthmovement seemed to work.
Yeah, because everybody elsewas getting freaking fried while
they're swimming away quiet andthey made it out, but they're
also like Dude.
Imagine how cold that water was.
Speaker 3 (24:22):
I didn't even consider that, to be honest.
Speaker 1 (24:24):
I normally do consider that, yeah, I think
they ended up changing clothes,but they didn't show it.
But in that situation where youfind they're in like a really
rural area too, where are youfinding clothes at?
Speaker 3 (24:36):
I definitely couldn't find clothes.
Oh yeah, You'd be screwed.
Speaker 1 (24:39):
I would find, like some regular ass dude's shirt
and I'd be wearing it as a croptop.
Speaker 3 (24:45):
I'd find some cute dresses that might be in my size
.
Okay, so cute dresses thatmight be in my size?
Okay, get it, because no malewould be my size.
Never mind, go on, get Eric inthe apocalypse with a fucking
sundress on.
Speaker 1 (24:58):
It's the only thing.
Speaker 3 (24:59):
I can find in my size .
Speaker 1 (25:01):
They're like get him.
He pulls a fucking shotgun outfrom underneath it.
Speaker 3 (25:06):
Didn't see this, bitches.
That's a fucking movie rightthere.
That is.
Speaker 2 (25:09):
And then women wanting to kill him because
their dress is still too big forhim.
Speaker 3 (25:14):
No women wanting to kill me because I look better in
the dress than they do.
Speaker 1 (25:18):
Hey, we were looking good in them suits we had on.
Speaker 3 (25:23):
I was looking pretty good.
I'm just saying you knowWashington 8.
I think that stands, so you areWashington 8.
I think that stands, so thatyou are washington eight.
Yeah, I think it stands,because I came back here and
washington I'm yeah, no, no,you're not that is literally my
self like that is exactly whatit was.
I just had this conversationwith a co-worker and she was
(25:43):
like what do you think you arehere?
And I was like like a four, shefucking died.
And she was like that was sofast I thought about it, the
looks I got up.
There are not the looks I'veever gotten down here.
Oh yeah, I give myself.
Speaker 2 (25:56):
I give myself a solid six.
Like I said, when I've gone upnorth, I've gone up to the forum
for when I've gone up north,just as far as Fresno or San
Francisco, I noticed adifference.
And then I've gone back east, Imean New York, manhattan has
(26:16):
some very attractive women.
Speaker 3 (26:18):
It's like no different than.
Speaker 2 (26:19):
LA very similar and and New York is where I think
the real models are instead ofHollywood, it's more like
theater and business.
I think and modeling Fashion.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 3 (26:31):
Yeah, so I definitely think New York has that.
La is like the Hollywood,everyone's plastic type shit and
then pretty much anywhere else.
That's normal I do decently.
Speaker 1 (26:43):
I think I told you guys I'm like a Minnesota 8.
Speaker 3 (26:48):
You're like a Minnesota 9.
You're just, you're not aMinnesota 9.
You're just not quite whiteenough.
Speaker 2 (26:54):
I think I told you guys about my friend who was
from Washington.
He was from Washington.
He came down here.
Speaker 3 (27:00):
Can you wrangle a bowl, sorry?
Speaker 2 (27:02):
He wanted to try the whole band.
Speaker 1 (27:05):
Thing.
Speaker 2 (27:08):
He wanted to try the whole band thing out here in LA
and his girlfriend stayed behind.
He's starting to make it.
You know he's doing well.
He's getting booked.
People are calling him.
You know they're trying to bookhis band.
It was enjoyable to watch hisband and you know girls liked
him.
He was a cute white guy, blondehair, and his girlfriend comes
(27:31):
down thinking like'm gonna godown there.
I had learned from him that shewas a uh miss washington
runner-up and I was like, ohokay, so clearly she thinks
she's hot, right, she comes downhere and she's like a five max.
She couldn't handle it.
She ended up bailing, goingback up to washington yeah, it's
rough out here.
Speaker 3 (27:46):
I'm not gonna lie.
Speaker 2 (27:47):
She got so mad because she couldn't get any
modeling jobs.
She couldn't get anyrecognition of her attention.
She walked into our restaurantwhere we worked at the time, and
nobody.
She didn't turn heads.
It wasn't like some slow, slowentrance.
What do they call that that?
Uh, I forget her name.
What's the girl's name from?
Um ghost whisperer?
Speaker 3 (28:07):
oh uh, jennifer love, hewitt, jennifer love, it
wasn't like the jenn.
Speaker 2 (28:08):
Jennifer Love Hewitt.
Jennifer Love Hewitt, it wasn'tlike the Jennifer Love Hewitt
moment where she walks in andeverybody stops and turns and
like nothing, nothing.
This girl could not handle it,so she bails off, goes back to
Washington.
Speaker 1 (28:18):
Yeah, dude.
So that's my thought ofWashington.
It's kind of me going toWashington, basically everybody
in Washington.
Speaker 2 (28:22):
So what you're saying is I should go to Washington
bro, irresistible.
Speaker 1 (28:25):
I grew up in Washington, the forearms, if you
just let your beard grow out alittle bit more.
Speaker 3 (28:34):
I think it would be like Let the beard grow.
Yeah, if you grow it out andthen braid it.
Speaker 1 (28:40):
You know.
Speaker 2 (28:41):
Braid it.
Now we're talking.
If I could do that kind of shit, join a biker club, get an
MS-13 tattoo.

Speaker 3 (30:25):
My co-worker is from washington and she is very
familiar with the bars aroundthere.
She knew the boom boom room, bythe way, and she was the one
she also wants to take creditfor planning your bachelor party
and I told her I'll give hercredit for that.
She basically planned thebachelor party for us and told
us like what, what bar, whatstreet to hit up, and, and yeah.
(30:48):
And so we ended up doing that.
Um, why the fuck did I starttalking about this?
I had a point to this.
We were talking about crackedout people.
Uh, you meant you made a grosscomment.
I didn't like no teeth yeah,and then what happened?
Speaker 1 (31:03):
um, I don't know, we're so like, oh, this episode,
so it's to be crazy to fuckingend.
Speaker 3 (31:12):
This is just not even about the movie.
We haven't even talked aboutthe movie at all, and this is a
good movie too.
We're just not on it right now.
Speaker 2 (31:22):
No, I've been talking about the movie.
Speaker 3 (31:24):
Yeah, only you.
Speaker 1 (31:27):
I mean I've asked a couple questions.
I think I've been an okay host.
I tried to get this back ontopic.
It didn't work.
Speaker 3 (31:33):
Oh, you're the host, I am the host yeah.
Speaker 1 (31:38):
I tried to get this back on topic like twice and it
didn't work.
Speaker 3 (31:41):
So I'm just talking Fuck it Great work Thank you it
sounds sarcastic, but I do meanit for real.
Speaker 1 (31:51):
Listen, we didn't record last week, so it's like
you know, we just we're warmingup, we're out of it.
Speaker 3 (31:58):
We're getting back into it.
Speaker 1 (32:00):
It's not going to seem like that for the fucking
fans, because they're going tosee like we already have shit
recorded.
Speaker 3 (32:07):
Yeah, I mean, by the way, go check out our 1408 uh,
just just released.
Speaker 1 (32:13):
I'm talking to the chat uh, you know a mountain.
Speaker 3 (32:15):
Yeah, it's good, that was a good episode.
If you're watching this in thefuture, you should go watch 1408
.
That was a much better episodethan this one, maybe will you
survive 14 listen.
Speaker 1 (32:25):
1408 is a much better movie than this one.
So sorry, steven Spielberg, youfell off.
Speaker 3 (32:30):
Yeah, yeah, that long ago.
Speaker 2 (32:34):
So if you're going to go, look for it, it's.
Will you survive 1408 evilrooms and mental resilience?
Speaker 1 (32:40):
Yes, yes, that pretty much just you know.
That's the gist of it.
Speaker 2 (32:44):
So, okay, let me ask a question.
It's about War of the Worlds.
Oh shit, they were extremelytechnically savvy.
Yeah, everybody agrees.
Speaker 3 (32:54):
The aliens yeah, Sure , yeah so they planted these
things underground.
Speaker 2 (33:00):
Now what would we say ?
They had to have planted thesethings like miles beneath the
surface right, because there'sno way you build cities on top
of these things, and milesbeneath the surface right,
because there's no way you buildcities on top of these things
and don't notice them underthere oh yeah, I mean plumbing
and your what's the deepestsubways, not even like a couple.
Speaker 1 (33:19):
We've been like a couple miles down a couple miles
right drilled before, but likeright they had to be at least
like at least they had to be.
Speaker 2 (33:28):
They had to be miles, being way further than two
miles.
So we can assume that they werevery technically savvy.
They, their suits, the tripodswere extremely technologically
advanced also the the lightningpods into their into their yep,
that's so cool all cool.
Speaker 1 (33:49):
Yeah, that's that takes real, like precision, to
get that because you see howsmall the hole was too.
That's neat right now.
Speaker 2 (33:56):
Is it a plot hole, or is there something to it
technologically, that when thealiens started getting sick, the
tripods lost their shields?
Speaker 3 (34:07):
I do think that the tripods were like, connected to
their being which is that reallythat technically savvy?
Speaker 2 (34:12):
is that really that far advanced?
Speaker 1 (34:14):
well, so my theory is they didn't like really super
plan for humans, you know,because it would have been like
a million years ago.
You know that they put the shitin before humans were like you
know.
So my thought is they're like,hey, this planet looks like we
could, you know, conquer it,just colonize it or whatever
it's you know.
And they bury all the shit andthen like we'll come back later.
(34:36):
And then they come back.
Oh, guess we gotta wipe out allthis, make it habitable
somewhat.
But you know there's a lot ofuh, viruses and shit that like
weren't a thing I and I do.
Speaker 2 (34:47):
I do like that.
Speaker 3 (34:47):
like that because it's not the virus or the
bacteria that did them in, it'sthe evolved state, because the
virus has evolved with humans,that's why I like the idea that
sometimes it's always likescientists uncover prehistoric
bacteria preserved in ice andeverybody's like whoa, whoa,
you're going to start the zombieapocalypse.
Speaker 2 (35:14):
And the reality is like, more likely than not, that
bacteria is probably gonna dieon contact right the air with,
yeah, our immune.
Speaker 1 (35:17):
I mean all viruses will die with contact in the air
for long enough and that's why,to prepare for an alien
invasion, every time I've gottensick with corona, I cough into
a bottle and hawk everythingthat comes out of my lungs into
it, turn it into a fine mist, soI have alien pepper spray ready
.
You can make Molotov cocktailversions.
Yeah, just gotta, no you can'tJust hawk loogies, you can't,
(35:38):
can't, catch it fire.
Oh, you don't know what I'mspitting.
I spit hot fire.
Speaker 3 (35:43):
I spit hot fire.
Speaker 1 (35:47):
I spit hot fire so I finally.
Speaker 2 (35:49):
So I went on this.
Uh, not a deep dive, it was asmall dive.
I dove in the short end ofeminem super fast raps and it
was uh one.
I forget one of his earlierones it was a d12 one, then it
was the uh rap god and then itwas godzilla.
It was in in those that order,but it was when I was watching
(36:13):
the godzilla that I was like isthat fucking?
mike tyson yeah, you texted meabout that I, I, but it was on
my phone so it was like a reallysmall image.
I was like I can't fucking tellif that's mike tyson, dude yeah
, I'm pretty sure it was for themusic video.
Speaker 3 (36:25):
That was so cool.
Yeah, that was a good time.
Speaker 2 (36:28):
So fenis asks I wonder how the aliens would deal
with COVID.
I wonder what bacteria or virusit was.
Now, okay, so here's the thing.
Speaker 3 (36:38):
I wonder if it was a mix of fucking everything.
Speaker 2 (36:41):
I figure it's more of a bacteria thing that's killing
them.
I was going to say that Becausethe viruses adapt to us to kill
us.
Right, I was going to ask youthat because viruses tend to be
less lethal than bacteria.
Speaker 3 (36:56):
Like bacterial pneumonia.
Speaker 2 (36:58):
Yeah, bacteria kills us far more than viruses.
So, here's the thing A virus.
Your body reaches a temperatureof 100.4.
That fever will typically killa virus and your brain is fine
with that however a bacteria,your body will reach
temperatures of 105 degrees plus.
Speaker 1 (37:16):
It'll kill you before it'll kill the bacteria there's
like clearly there's majorproblems, just like survive in a
volcano and be I mean yeah,yeah, um, there's those, but
who's saying the?
Fucking aliens even have likelungs, you know right.
Speaker 3 (37:32):
So, like clearly some some, I agree, even if it was
like exposed to covid what iscovid gonna do to it?
Speaker 1 (37:38):
right, because that's like a rush?
Speaker 2 (37:39):
do they even breathe?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, exactly, thatmakes sense but they'll lose
their taste and smell that'll betrippy here's.
Here's my question to you guys.
What do you think those tripodsdid with the humans they pulled
them in?
Speaker 3 (37:55):
and then they were spraying blood right I think
they were spraying not onlyblood, but I think the guts and
everything that were all over.
Yeah, they were.
Speaker 1 (38:05):
Um, I think they're just trying to make it more
habitable, because they realizedthat hey I don't feel good,
that is so fucked up they'redecorating, they're decorating I
think that is kind of what theywere doing well, yeah, no, I
just think they were trying tomake it more habitable, you know
, like their, their home planetor whatever.
Speaker 3 (38:27):
They were putting up pictures and shit.
Speaker 1 (38:28):
Maybe their home planet's covered in something
that's similar to what our bloodis composed of, like iron and
shit.
I don't know but um so I thinkthey started capturing people
because they were gettingdesperate.
I think that's what?
Because those that didn't havecages on them originally and
they were only they were likejust burning people.
And then, once they startedlike spraying the stuff, they
(38:51):
were like they didn't even havethe cages on the back.
They were just like sucking theblood out of people.
But then they started using thecages.
So I think that's when theystarted like they're like oh,
we're cooked like michael overthere, dude, look his third
leg's falling off.
Like it's crazy.
Speaker 2 (39:03):
So that's, I mean you guys, you guys kind of nailed
it bipod, you kind of nailed itBecome a bipod.
You kind of nailed it on onepoint, because what I'm reading
on it is they were using thehuman blood for red weed.
They called it.
Speaker 3 (39:16):
That was the plant that was growing, they called it
hey, I think me and thesealiens could be homies.
Speaker 1 (39:25):
Fucking rip that shit .
You feel like you're walking onthree legs.
Speaker 2 (39:36):
So it is.
I got a third leg, an invasivealien plant that they were
harvesting using humans, and itsuggests that that was the whole
purpose for them coming toearth was we could be used to
grow that stuff.
You might be right.
I mean, how brutal would thatbe if they were like oh, just a
weed farm.
Yeah, they were gonna just I'dbe so harvest this stuff using
us and then take it back andsmoke it, make a fortune on it.
Speaker 3 (39:55):
No, this is a galactic enterprise, probably.
Speaker 1 (39:57):
Dude, take this back to the Galactic Federation.
We're going to get fucking somuch money.
Speaker 3 (40:03):
The price for red weed on the galactic black
market is crazy.
Speaker 1 (40:09):
Dude, it's crazy 364 galactic credits for a fucking
for a spine.
Speaker 2 (40:14):
Crazy Jesus.
Speaker 1 (40:17):
Oh my God, and they're like dude, we're fucking
pissed.
There was one guy and he had atooth in the middle of his face
and he I'd be like his bloodwould have been kind of weird.
Could have added some.
Speaker 2 (40:28):
That's why they didn't use him at all.
It wasn't a mistake that hedidn't survive.
They just joined his daughterand started walking away.
Speaker 1 (40:32):
They just forgot about him.
Jesus, they're like this one,we'll do, eh, whatever, flip the
car, he's probably dead, nope.
Speaker 3 (40:39):
But yeah, bacteria, that's what did it.
Speaker 2 (40:43):
That's.
Speaker 3 (40:44):
You know what's funny is that I did have a thought in
the beginning of this moviewhere it was kind of like a joke
thought, but it ended up beingtrue Is that when the aliens
first were attacking I was like,ah, but what they're not
considering is that humans areresilient, and then ultimately,
that is kind of what it was.
Speaker 1 (41:04):
Yeah, what God said, because he played God in that
one movie.
Morgan Freeman I couldn't thinkof his name.
That would be a hundred percentCouldn't think of his name.
What Morgan Freeman said isthat we earned our right to be
here Cause we evolved to be here, you know yeah.
Speaker 3 (41:18):
And they didn't bitches.
Speaker 1 (41:20):
We, we which we survived.
Speaker 2 (41:30):
There are some reports that say that there were
humans here, variations ofhumans right Neanderthal and
earlier forms of human that haveall died off, and that we Homo
sapiens are the last livingspecies of human, which is
really interesting.
And if you go down this movie'saccount, we did earn the right
to survive, because we survivednot only each other, but we
survived the evolution of thebacteria and the viruses, and
(41:53):
not only that, I mean, you gotto think how long ago were they
fighting things likesaber-toothed tigers and large
the large, what do they call itSuper fauna?
And apparently archaeologyreveals that humans were hunting
those super fauna.
So it wasn't like we werehiding from them, running away,
like even all the way back then,man, we were trying to take
(42:15):
them down I mean, yeah, you knowhow much meat's on a mammoth.
Speaker 3 (42:18):
Yeah, this is one thing that distractible was
talking about that.
I actually do agree with markon this.
I just think that his numbersin this situation were off.
He's talking about the gorilla,the 100 men versus one gorilla.
So they copied us.
Yeah, they really did.
They copied us.
Wow, for once they did us andwe didn't copy them.
Yep, um, but they were like 100.
Definitely people would win 90.
(42:39):
Definitely people would win 50.
9 out of 10 times people wouldwin.
I could still get behind 50.
I think that's pushing it, butthey were like 30.
Yeah, I think 50 is pushing.
I don't think that's 9 out of10 times.
I think that's like maybe 2 outof 10 times humans win because
50.
I mean, we looked it up agorilla would kill like 30 to 40
people within the first minute,so like that would be really
(43:02):
hard.
Uh, to come back, which is likehow long we have to last before
he gets tired yep, yeah, andeven then like he's just tired,
he's still a gorilla who couldjust swing his arm loosely and
knock someone out.
Yeah, but anyways, um, theywere saying 30, uh, definitely
could still win.
I don't think so.
Then they said 12 men wouldstill win against a gorilla, but
(43:26):
but 10 wouldn't.
And so Mark brought up thisinteresting idea that it's kind
of like a logarithmic function.
It's not necessarily like so.
Like, let's say, it's 1v1.
That's equal 1v2.
All right, that's pushing it,but maybe 1v3.
Absolutely not.
1v3 is very different than 1v2.
And because it's not just like,how do you describe, describe
(43:47):
it?
It's not just like a steadyprogression, it's logarithmic.
There's a point where it's likeno, that got significantly
harder now yeah, it's not linear, it's exactly exponential.
Yeah, and so it's like threeverses are like four versus six
is very, very different, and Ihe was mentioning that in like
think like prehistoric times oryou think like an early man
(44:10):
hunting these things.
It does make sense that six menagainst a saber-toothed tiger
might not seem like a lot, butthat saber-tooth is surrounded
by six predators now that's alot.
Speaker 1 (44:21):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (44:21):
That's enough to at least make it run.
Speaker 1 (44:22):
Yeah, it's like hyenas, you know.
Speaker 3 (44:25):
Yeah, it's power of numbers.
Speaker 1 (44:26):
Yeah, so they'll fucking chase something and just
take little bites out of ittill it's fucking.
Speaker 2 (44:31):
It's done like coyotes lay down fucking take it
yep, yeah, like coyotes.
Speaker 1 (44:35):
Coyotes will just I would say 40 or 50 versus a
female gorilla would be the sameas 100 versus a male I thought
we whittled it all the way downto like 70.
Speaker 3 (44:48):
I think maybe 60 could win we said 100.
Speaker 2 (44:50):
Have you looked at?
Speaker 1 (44:51):
the size of like a female gorilla versus a male
gorilla.
I feel like 50 could take it.
Speaker 3 (44:56):
Average men.
Speaker 2 (44:56):
I haven't seen the size.
Speaker 3 (44:58):
You would have to find 50 average men who are
willing to hit a woman Righthere.
Buddy, Now what I said averagesized TJ.
Speaker 1 (45:11):
Oh my god, I can't believe you just said that
nobody check on Maddie.
Speaker 2 (45:20):
I could beat off at least 100 before my arms got
tired what stop it.
Speaker 3 (45:28):
They can't hear Josh.
Speaker 1 (45:30):
Josh asked how many I know how many average men could
you beat off?
Speaker 2 (45:38):
I tried warning you before we went live that that
was what's gonna happen.
You're gonna talk so I'mlooking at it and it says a.
Speaker 1 (45:47):
This episode is so cut.
We're back to the gorillaconversation In the timeline,
that's two episodes ago.
Speaker 2 (45:57):
You brought it up he brought it up 2 to 5 feet tall
and weigh 150 to 250 pounds.
That's about the size of anaverage man.
Speaker 1 (46:07):
Okay so fuck it.
A silverback.
Speaker 3 (46:09):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, 35 silverback gorilla, yeah a male
is 1500 and a female is 150.
That doesn't seem right.
Silverback gorilla, not just achimp no, that's chimps, aren't
gorillas chimps are apes but notgorillas.
Okay, you say that like that isnot something that could be
confused.
Speaker 1 (46:25):
All gorillas arees, but not all apes are gorillas,
it's not like they're.
Speaker 2 (46:29):
Yeah, dude.
No way Smaller than malesstanding around, four to five
feet tall, weighing 150 to 250pounds.
In contrast, POV, however, incontrast, male silverbacks can
weigh up to 600 pounds.
Oh, okay, and grow five to sixfeet.
Speaker 1 (46:46):
How Eric feels when he was at my age.
No.
Speaker 2 (46:49):
I think you were talking about grip strength and
all of that.
Speaker 1 (46:53):
Bite strength 1,500 pounds.
I'm sure it's grippy.
Speaker 3 (46:57):
What, that's still crazy though what?
I'm just a million feet at thispoint, but that's still crazy.
Speaker 2 (47:02):
I thought they would have weighed more.
Speaker 3 (47:03):
Yeah, I definitely think maybe 30 to 40 men could
take a female silverback Onebottle down think like maybe
like 30 to 40 men could take afemale silverback one bottle
down.
Speaker 1 (47:11):
I could do it, only 150.
It's still a gorilla, it's puremuscle, it is.
It is a gorilla, and a chimpthat's smaller could rip your
face off.
So yeah, I feel like 10 of mecould do.
Yeah, I do think you are stilla threat, yeah 10 of me could do
it, with probably three of medying.
Speaker 3 (47:26):
Okay, so how many of me?
160.
Speaker 1 (47:30):
Okay, the gorilla would use you as a bat.
Speaker 3 (47:34):
To hit the others.
Yeah, how many of me with aprison, shank 16.
I say 13.
Third Wait, wait, wait.
Speaker 1 (47:49):
What's the shank made out of?
Speaker 3 (47:50):
Is it a?
Speaker 1 (47:50):
toothbrush or is it a piece of glass or what it's a
comb, comb.
Ooh, prison combs aren't reallythe best quality.
Speaker 3 (47:57):
It doesn't have to be .
It's about how you use it,that's it.
Speaker 2 (48:00):
You only get like two or three shanks on it, I'll
drop it just to an even 15.
If you all have one shank andI'm sure, a couple of them are
breaking.
Speaker 3 (48:12):
So yeah they're, they're gonna break off inside.
They're not even gonnapenetrate the skin.
Speaker 2 (48:14):
No, they do, they will.
The gorilla skin is gonna bevery similar to ours just skin
and muscle.
Speaker 1 (48:20):
Just you get the right spots, they're still, I
mean, just as delicate as we arehave you seen like people with
that one condition where thehair on like everywhere on their
body just grows?
Yeah, like you I am really notEric is hairier than me.
Speaker 2 (48:34):
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, I feel like I took some
friendly fire here.
Speaker 3 (48:37):
You can't even see my hair on the camera.
Speaker 2 (48:39):
That's true, you can see my sick tattoo though.
Speaker 1 (48:41):
Aha, aha, aha, Anyways.
Speaker 2 (48:43):
TJ will give any.
Oh, Alex, do you know my newlast name?
Speaker 3 (48:47):
Huh, do you know my new last name?
Nope, nope, they changed theirname Because you can do that.
You can pick your own.
It's not on there.
Speaker 1 (48:53):
Let me think, let me think You're not going to get it
.
You're never going to guess it.
Watch him guess it also be anadverb.
Oh, that's just.
Speaker 3 (48:59):
That's not a good hint.
That is appropriate.
Speaker 1 (49:13):
Yeah, you could use it in that way.
That's not a good hint.
What a blank performance ShouldI give?
Speaker 3 (49:18):
him a hint.
I think, like what a blankperformance would be my best
hint for that.
Speaker 1 (49:22):
Oh.
Speaker 3 (49:23):
What a, I think, like fancy Up is my hint Up.

because we were in Aberdeen,something in the way, just doing
that.
Speaker 3 (50:19):
Oh my god yeah, first of all.
Oh, I remember why I brought upmy co-worker now it was
Aberdeen when she asked me howit went and I told her the the
final details of of my story andshe was like that's depressing.
And I was like yeah, and sothere I was, alone in a hotel
bed in aberdeen washington aftera wedding.
(50:44):
It was fucking depressing, man,something in the way underneath
the sheets, so it seems likebugs.
Speaker 2 (51:03):
Are you still in here , or did you?
Speaker 1 (51:04):

Oh my god welcome oh my godcrazy.
Speaker 1 (51:23):
So anyways I'm curious.
Speaker 2 (51:26):
I want to, all right, but we should do this off the
podcast.
I want to know what Bugs'sthoughts are on the whole
situation.
