 Hello everybody, E here. Today is just me wanting to hang out with my peeps. So come on in, sit down, relax, and let's have a chat. Sorry about being so late. I'm almost 15 minutes late, but my computer had an update and my audio wasn't working. Finally, I figured it out that it was the update. It was a BIOS update. So here I am. I hope everyone is doing well. It's going to be very chill stream. We're just going to chat for about an hour or two, see how things go, so on and so forth. Any topic can be put on the table. It doesn't matter. I hope you guys are doing all right. But yeah, so I just wait on over here. It's probably too early for everybody, honestly. It's not like it's a writing stream or something that usually brings more people in. Craig is working on the next stream highlights. So I'm just waiting for that. The final episode of a Plague Tale Innocence will be up Monday. It's already up for members, trying to give the people who are supporting the channel more more content, at least early content. Oh great. One of my, I ordered something and it is going FedEx. So there's no telling if we're actually going to get it. Stream's got two likes and nobody's talking. That's weird. It keeps going up to like four or five people and then dropping down to zero. Oh, hey, Zeely. How you doing? Did you get a notification for this or did you just come from Discord? It's early on a Saturday too. Probably picked the worst possible time to do this. But it's the only time that I have because we have to dash today. Notification? All right. Well, at least notifications are going out to some people. I don't know. I'm subbed to myself simply to see if I get a notification and I haven't gotten one yet. So whatever. How you been Zeely? What you been up to? You just got up? Yeah. I am absolutely obsessed with a song. Hang on. I got to pull it up. I'm not going to play it. You guys are going to have to go listen to listen to it yourself. But I wanted to go over the lyrics because it's some of the best lyric writing I have ever seen. Period. Where is it? Remember dude's name? Ah, there it is. So it's stick season by Noah Kahn. K-A-H-A-N. Have you all heard it? There are 10 people in here now. How y'all doing? Much. My husband and I are still fighting illness. So we're struggling but we both had a much better week. What's going on? Do you have just cold or something? I'm glad you had a better week. Morning Sue. Flu? I'm sorry. Okay, so stick season. I'm going to read the lyrics. Can't sing them because copyright and all that. But as you promised me that I was more than all the miles combined, you must have had yourself a change of heart like halfway through the drive. Because your voice trailed off exactly as you passed my exit sign, kept on driving straight and left our future to the right. That's just fucking amazing. Now I'm stuck between my anger and the blame that I can't face and memories are something even smoking weed does not replace. And I am terrified of weather because I see you when it rains. Oh, that's so good. So good. Doc told me to travel but there's COVID on the planes. Oh, hey, John. How are you doing? Rejoice where I have arrived. Let the rebels and chicks begin. Right now we're talking about a song. So if you want to dance, you can. It's the lyrics to stick season by Noah Kahn. Absolutely in love with this song. I I can't express enough. I can't sing it for shit. I can play it. I can't sing it. So the second verse is and I'll go hang on. So this is the chorus. I didn't even get to the chorus. And I love Vermont but it's the season of the sticks and I saw your mom. She forgot that I existed. And it's half my fault but I just like to play the victim. I'll drink alcohol till my friends come home for Christmas. And I'll dream each night of some version of you that I might not have but I did not lose. Give me chills every time I hear it. Now your tire tracks and one pair of shoes and I'm split in half but that'll have to do. That just that now you're that whole second part of the chorus. And I'll dream each night of some version of you that I might not have but I did not lose. Now you're now you are not your tire tracks but now you're you are tire tracks and one pair of shoes. So she just left didn't take anything else with her. Just tire tracks in the shoes. Such a visual image. It's amazing. The poetry in this song is like I said it's it's one of those songs like a Lucas Graham I think had a song once when I was seven years old. You know that song that song's great too. But that's like the last time I heard a song this good as far as the lyrics are concerned. I love the music and the singing and everything too. But as far as the lyrics are concerned that song touched me and this this one definitely did. So the next verse is so I this this one really gets me because if you guys know me I have daddy issues mean my father did not get along my dad was a piece of shit lived off my mother for 25 years till she finally left his ass took me with her and actually she didn't leave him as much as she bought him a bus ticket after other things anyways it's a long story but so this verse hits me hard too. So I thought that if I piled something good on all the bad that I could cancel out the darkness I inherited from dad. Now I am no longer funny because I miss the way you laugh. You once called me forever now you still can't call me back. Priceless and then it goes back into the chorus and the chorus repeats repeats repeats until the end. But I if you have not heard this song once again is Dick season I'm gonna put it down here in the comments if I can type this morning obviously I cannot but there you have it go look up that song download it buy it I don't know if any of his other songs are this good but that that one right there is fucking amazing so how you been John and if y'all are reading anything let me know what you're reading oh what's up Craig how you doing man I just got your email I'll respond to it when I'm done here I won't be here long I just wanted to hang out and chat with my folks so but nobody's chatting so I'll probably only be here for another like 10 minutes it's crazy that you I knew it was gonna be a lot I did not realize how short it was gonna make it but I kind of saw it coming because like you said in the email there's a lot of long cutscenes and me just sitting there you know listening to the story it's it's one of those games where I don't the cutscenes like I told you an email the story the cutscenes don't really matter at all because the best part of that game is the gameplay I've been good some great sad news poppy z bright has a new work coming out but sadly says it's the last thing yeah really when was the last time they there's a bibliography when's the last time they're trying to find that there we go novels and novellas second line in 2009 so it has literally been 15 years am I doing the math right it's been 15 mint 15 years since they released anything he I'm sorry he pronouns are he for some odd reason I thought it was they them reading shogun by James clavill oh wow that's an old-ass book in it mortal fear by Greg Iles um I like I really was a huge fan of the pen cage books until the last one he completely lost me literally cutting together all the shooting scenes together is great then it's like a 30 minute wait what's the next cutscene plays yeah um I don't think there's too much I know I don't actually I don't know I was about to say just go ahead and skip all the cuts like just scrub forward to make your job easier but at the same time there were some cracks during the cut scenes that I made so last thing was in 2005 ish this one says wikipedia says 2009 but there was triads with Christina Faust in 2004 and then there was duck there's an asterisk between each letter novella in 2007 that's the liquor series so the value of x in 2002 liquor 2004 prime 2005 soul kitchen 2006 and duck dck with asterisk in between them novella 2007 um let's say anything about a new book not yet now not that wikipedia is no I just I'm just curious um literally wait wait I already read that oh craig for some odd reason your your comments are coming up twice yep it's a novella set in the world of the stand like officially officially king's the stand I read the first pen cage it was okay um yes shogun is an old joint but fx is making new series looks awesome cool um the first pen cage has a lot of problems if you go back and read it after like the next two books um I really enjoyed it it's one of the one of the few thrillers like basic thrillers that has like no supernatural paranormal or anything like that that I really really love um but when you go back after actually after reading the last book when you go back and try to reread the series there's a lot of subtle racism in there and classism and things that really turned me off of the whole series just let you know what happened in the last book I think it's called Mississippi blood um it there's a point where pen has someone has grabbed pen from from behind uh the main character at pen cage grabs him from they someone grabs him from behind he can't see who it is color skin or anything but it's dark but the thought that goes through the main character's head who's supposed to be the civil rights activist lawyer whatever kind of I don't know I can't remember what all he is but the the kicker is the thought inside the character's head that's supposed to be so progressive and forward is he smelled like a black person not bad just different and completely I just I put the book down I stopped reading and people have been telling me for years that there was a subtle racist undertone to the books which felt odd to me um because and of course I didn't listen because I was like oh yeah he's a great character he fights against racism and everything until I got to that last book I'm like yeah I'm gonna yeah uh yeah my internet has cut you out a couple times so that might be why my comments come up came up okay I got you he announced it on his patreon seems official okay cool oh I don't trust Wikipedia as far as uh like uh current updates um in fact the current updates are usually wrong and it takes a few years for everything to get fixed uh but I'm I believe you it's not that I don't believe you it's just been I wanted to know how many years it been since he released anything but that is cool uh okay that's where I got the that's where I got the they them from okay that makes sense all right that's cool very cool all right so I wasn't wrong I was just of the wrong time there was a point in time when the uh it was different uh have you ever read Hollywood by Charles Bukowski I have read everything by Charles Bukowski the only story book poetry anything that I even vaguely remember is Ham on Rye uh I don't remember anything about Hollywood I went on this kick of like old dead white men for a while uh I had Charles Bukowski I had Gore Vidal I had a bunch of different ones that I just read everything that they wrote I didn't do any reviews for him but I read everything that they wrote and I wanted to see a different side because I had been reading so much diverse fiction um I wanted to go back to to see if it was really as bad as everyone was saying and the Charles Bukowski discourse is really funny to me um the uh them people calling him misogynistic and uh or or alpha male or whatever at both sides of the spectrum is like you know misogynistic some people say misogynistic some people say alpha uh but with him it's like they completely missed the point the all of his work is about the work is about the atrocities and the crimes of just being a dude um like the the shit that we do on a daily basis that is abhorrent to you know the opposite sex uh pointing out the stupid dangerous uh ridiculous stuff that we say and do thinking that it is going to attract the opposite sex when it actually you know pushes them farther away uh I find I find it funny that it's almost like fight club uh you got the dude bros who are like yeah we need to start this you know we need to do this we need to it's our it's our code book it's our guidebook whatever when literally Paula Nick was talking about toxic masculinity and gullible men and you know cultish behavior and all that the book is not a celebration of those things it is a satire of those things actually you created a poppy z bright subreddit because no one else had that's that's crazy that uh um that no one else had he's a very popular I you know not like Stephen King big but a very popular author hollywood is so good to me it's about him a poet novelist who writes a screenplay his hatred for the screenplay form of writing is amazing me too yeah I like his writing it's blunt to the point right I don't really know anything about him yet but I like what his writing is about it's funny because he was a very self aware individual um he was unapologetic about how he was but he also knew that he was a problem that he you know he liked he liked smoke drink and fuck that's it you know and that's what he called the tenants of being a man smoke drink fuck uh because you're only going to live once you might as well do it but at the same time his books stories poetry all that stuff was so much deeper than people give him credit for you know and it's funny because women will read the book and see something completely different than a man will see and that's usually the case quite often um and that tends to be why genders usually stick with their gender like women mostly read female authors men mostly read male authors um because we like to agree you know we like to see ourselves on the page so on and so forth um but he was he was a complete asshole a complete shit stain of a human being but he knew it and accepted himself for what it was and he knew he wasn't going to win any best man alive awards and he really stuck to his guns and I I respect that to a certain extent I don't respect an asshole but I do respect that he was unapologetically him and if you didn't like it it didn't bother him one bit um I don't know if that's going to happen at this point Zili uh I am having some issues with my eyes um I am I have something called GA with it which is uh global something it's okay when you it's it's part of macular degeneration my mother had it my grandmother had it everybody in my family had it uh oddly enough I was born with 2010 vision which is the best possible vision that you could possibly have but now in my 40s I'm finally starting to degrade reading looking at words my left eye if I close my right eye my left eye if I look at uh let's say I look at a door frame that's completely straight no anomalies whatsoever my left eye will bend it and that and on top of that I have dyslexia so every time I try to sit down to read everything just goes completely wonky um I just word to become gibberish and I can't concentrate I can't enjoy it for that I actually I need to do a video on it because most people were just like oh he's changing you know the channel because games are popular and has nothing to do with it games are literally the only form of entertainment right now that I can enjoy because with movies I can't sit long enough to to because unless the movie is enthralling just like the best movie I've ever seen I can't sit through it with games I'm an active participant so I am able to at least get my stories that way um which is breaking my heart which I why I don't talk about it um but there's certain books I can't do audiobooks up and those are the books that I love the most really deep literature uh deep affecting sentences great structure all that stuff is kind of lost on audiobooks um I'm not saying audiobooks are not reading I'm a full supporter of of that mantra audiobooks 100 reading because even if you're not reading the narrator is reading to you uh there's so there's reading going on um but I can't sit down and listen to uh someone like uh let's say Stephen Markley I can't listen to Ohio or the deluge uh because that's it's just too thick um it's it's too wordy and I end up losing my place and just kind of wandering off so books my favorite favorite pastime since I was a little kid are off the table um I also just don't have the time by the time I get home from dashing or streaming or whatever I'm so exhausted I don't even feel like doing anything I just hang out with the family or you know play a play a game by my by myself uh but yeah that's that that's that's the gist of it and it breaks my heart it probably breaks your heart too but uh it's just the way things are going um and there's nothing that can be done about my eyes unless I have surgery and I don't have insurance so whoo I have dyslexia as well and have a similar warping from Alice in Wonderland syndrome which I get from migraines uh so get the struggle I can't do audiobooks at all because of audio processing disorder that's another thing that I have an issue like there's some things that I will hear and it'll be just completely broken like nowhere near close and I'm I'm pretty sure this is what you're talking about also um it's nowhere near close what they said I mean it might have the same cadence but none of the words sound the same like my brain will just be like oh yeah that's what they said and I'll repeat did you say this and they just start laughing it's like no and you don't have to repeat everything you hear just ask sorry what did you say you know that kind of thing um but yeah it's a complete gibberish uh and the the older I get the worse against so yay growing older oh yeah the audiobook of Dolores Claiborne yeah that's that's one of my favorites that and deliverance um also uh 20th century Ghosts by Joe Hill uh narrated by David LaRoe I think is his name that's horrible to hear sorry if this is too much to ask but does it hurt your right no it doesn't hurt my writing at all not sure how this issue works so the writing is really easy because I can it has nothing to do with what I see um even because I don't even look at the screen most of the time when I'm writing I'm staring at the keyboard because I'm I'm a pecker I'm a pecker y'all but anyways I I peck I don't I don't do the like this I literally you know like the old school dudes or Ernest Hemingway or whatever I sit there and I type like that sometimes I'll use my middle fingers but I don't use my pinky or ring fingers at all um I'm a pecker what's up manly uh how's Elizabeth doing uh so it has I have no issue whatsoever writing but it is affecting my writing that I'm not reading because I am a horrible mimic actually I'm an amazing mimic that usually makes for a horrible writer um but my styles usually tend to follow whatever I'm reading at the time like if I'm reading a bunch of uh a literary fiction my stuff is going to be denser it's going to be more thematic it's not going to focus on plot too much if I read some Stephen King it's going to be very plot heavy with very deep characters if I'm reading Dean Coons it's all fucking plot just hammer in the plot and throw in some quirky characters so people have someone to root for you know that kind of shit she's been taken care of I miss y'all man I really do I miss game night I miss all that stuff uh but between streaming on twitch and door dash yeah it's yeah I ain't got no time man I ain't got no time it's redonkulous and now I'm I'm dealing with the I don't know if you guys remember but the uh us us too yeah uh my my blood condition okay so here here's the thing it seems like the healthier I get the sicker I get let let let me explain I know it makes no fucking sense and do not take this as any kind of medical advice whatsoever this is my own personal experience fuck off with your not everybody's like that because I understand this is true so uh I lost 100 pounds over the course of seven years um I am now down to uh the yesterday at the doctor it was 302 I have three more pounds and I will be the lightest I have been since junior high school since eighth grade since I was 12 13 years old um because that's when I went over the 300 mark um diabetes in check don't have to worry about that shit anymore in fact if you guys are on twitch with me you guys will see the you know the jelly bean challenge no issue not the jelly bean challenge but the uh um people can use their channel points which are free you accumulate them from chatting uh for those of you that are not on twitch um you can use them to make me eat either a nasty uh 50-50 shot at a nasty or a good jelly bean or a spicy jelly bean um so diabetes in check blood pressure in check I'm the healthiest I have ever been but now my testosterone is too high and because I've been you know I've been active more active than I had been you know working out trying to get down below 300 pounds and now my blood's too fucking thick because all this testosterone pumped through my body so uh yeah um healthiest I've ever been I'm I'm just I mean shit I don't know I don't know if you can tell well that's me not holding in my gut before it would be out to like right here you can see here let me let me show you let me show you something I hate googling myself because I always find something I don't want to see but let me show you a picture no no no no no I didn't click on it all right I want you to see this dude I want you to see this uh present share screen all right let's go back here look at this chunky motherfucker over here I mean you can even see it in my shoulders my shoulders are thinner um yeah it but but you but you you can tell right um so you got the the dude the the red background right here and this the red this is literally the same day I don't know where I got that stupid hat from the golf hat um but the red the one with the red background and sorry I just saw the uh the youtube screenshot up there but anyways uh so that dude was 409 pounds at that time uh so yeah uh but now my life is literally at risk because my blood's too thick because I did the work to lose the weight and to feel better and all that good stuff and now I'm fucked so uh anyways uh you're like mr burns all your ailments balance each other I mean it's uh it's not really a balance it's uh but here's the thing had I not done all that I'd already be dead um I had conditions that would have killed me very quickly um and they said the only way that that I was going to be able to survive is if I had a gastric bypass I took that to heart and I went out and literally just started eating as if I had had the gastric bypass surgery surgery so I went uh this is back because uh nettles over on discord if you know who I'm talking about nettles just had gastric bypass surgery and I have found that it is completely different nowadays than it was back then um so back then you used to be on a liquid diet for two weeks so I literally fasted only drinking water bone broth not bone broth uh uh just plain chicken broth or beef broth I did that for two weeks and then I fasted for an entire month afterwards because it just got good to me I was like I'm fine my body will eat itself it's it's it's okay and to a certain extent as long as you're taking a lot of multivitamin so on and so forth you'll be fine um and you have enough water sodium that kind of thing you're all right uh I did it I dropped like 40 pounds that month most of it was water weight um but I did that and then when I came back I just stopped eating during the day I waited until dinner time and then I had about two to three thousand calories called it a day lost lost weight very quickly um but then I started bouncing back and forth uh I'd have times when I gorged on food you know weeks so I would just eat nothing but fast food um and that's the problem with fasting when you fast you miss the stuff and when you come off the fast people tend to screw up by just you know binge eating food making themselves sick all that stuff uh and I did that back and forth that's why it took me six years to lose 100 pounds uh but it's it it just it pisses me off that the thing that helped me lose the weight raising my testosterone working out doing those things has made me sicker than I was before because now I have a blood condition where my blood is too thick and if I don't go in and have it drained uh I'm I'm gonna die you know I'm gonna have a blood clot it's gonna travel somewhere and I'm going to die um the and there there's they don't even know they don't know what to do about it uh after it gets over a certain percentage they can put me on heparin uh to thin my blood but they don't even know if that'll work uh so it might even cause more issues uh so I don't know and that's what I'm dealing with right now because I can't well I'm I'm dealing with something far more disturbing which is the fact that I don't have insurance and I can't afford to have my blood drawn so I'm literally just sitting around waiting till I have enough money to go get my blood drawn and hit okay but those of you out there were like why don't you just go to the red cross because the red cross tests your blood if you go in there and you give them blood that they cannot use because they can't use any blood that's over 50 um like 50 red blood cell count and I'm at 56 if I go in there and I give blood even one time and they find that my blood is not usable they will never do it again because it's a waste of resources it's a waste of time it's a waste of money uh most of these people are volunteers but still those products cost money um so they will blacklist me uh if I go in there and give blood and then I won't be able to give blood anymore um I guess I could do bloodletting at home but that shit's fucking dangerous uh but anyways so that's what I'm dealing with right now I have no answers whatsoever um and the the amount that I need for the the blood draining uh I just wish I knew a vampire at this point but the the amount that I need is too much to even ask people for because it is a monthly thing and it's like $1,200 a month to get my blood drawn for someone to stick a needle in me put blood into a bag and then throw that bag away is $1,200 because America you went vegan to lose weight uh you'll never meet a rotund vegan oh yes there's so long yeah here's here's my favorite thing it's like you should I used to tell people that veganism is what got me here and it's not even really a joke eating stuff eating vegan products is what got me as big or eating and drinking vegan products is literally what got me as big as I was because two of my favorite things in the world were beer and Oreos and both of them are vegan both of them so you there's plenty of fat vegans out there uh but yeah um well bread and pasta you'd have eggs in them but I know you can get the vegan alternatives and whatnot let's see and I gotta put who daddy uh who daddy uh yes turn off my upcoming alarm so um I found out another fucking stupid thing um while I was at my doctor's appointment yesterday uh you guys might remember that I said I had sleep apnea um but I have I have been having I have been having issues with my CPAP um I'll wake up in the middle of night gasping and they thought that's what was causing my uh my high blood count uh but that wasn't it because it hasn't come down and I've been on the CPAP nearly six months and I'm actually worse off now than I was uh so because we had gotten my blood count all the way down to 52% and then he stopped drawing he stopped draining the blood because I lost my insurance and I jumped all the way back up to 56% so that's where I am now but he was going over the sleep report and this is at the cancer center um I do not have cancer but I do have a blood disorder of some kind that is thickening my blood and the testosterone is not helping uh so with my sleeping the sleep study there was all different kinds of issues with the sleep study because the tech couldn't get the stuff right um and it was all different kinds of inaccurate readings or whatever and I didn't even find this out until yesterday so he's like no one to the CPAP is not working uh because I don't think you have sleep apnea I think you were holding your breath unconsciously um and I was like yeah I do that all the time especially when I'm awake because I I being a fat person I used to always suck in my gut I would always and the older I get the sucking in of the gut just became natural but now that muscle memory has caused me to just hold my breath at random times so he goes you can tell here uh where she kept marking you weren't breathing you were still awake as far as all the other readings were concerned the eye eye monitors all the electrodes and everything I was awake but she marked it as stop breathing and said I stopped breathing 82 times in an hour uh in case you're not following along at home that's more than one time a minute so uh yeah there was issues with that then she put the CPAP on me and I actually had a worse it was actually worse after the CPAP was put on me um and I I just remember how the the sleep study ended because I was having problems sleeping I can't sleep when I'm on my back but she she finally comes over it's like five o'clock in the morning she four four five something like that by the time I got out of there was five fifteen and took almost an hour for her to get all the stuff off me so it's about I would say about four four fifteen four twenty um she comes over the speaker she's like are you ready to go home mr. Johnson because you're not sleeping I'm like yeah I'm ready to go home come and get this stuff off me so uh yeah it all that stuff and they still ordered me a CPAP they still ordered it and gave it to me um the funny part is the last time I went to the sleep disorder place it was a different guy that did the test and the guy that gave me the test literally said you can expect to be sent back here for another test with the CPAP machine because everyone who comes in here no matter how young old healthy unhealthy they are they all get a CPAP and then he laughed and started putting electrodes on my head I'm like what uh so I even I called up there and I was like you know that this is what he's telling people I believe he got either reprimanded or fired he no longer works there um but it seems to be the case that literally everyone who goes to this sleep center literally gets told that they have sleep apnea when they don't have it uh true not much meat and chocolate cake I don't know man I like a good ground beef and my chocolate cake I don't know what let me let me stop people think I'm serious all the time when I still yeah are you still looking for another I can't do any other job uh with insurance or I the only job that I can do is door dash or driving and delivery um and I don't even do half of it shell does half of it mo a shell I do all of the driving shell does all of the running so she goes in grabs the stuff comes back out and then she delivers it but I drive her around like a like a show for a kind of deal beef cake you damn right because beef cake at least you got the joke at least you at least you got the joke but people the stuff like that I've noticed does not fly too well on the internet it usually does like here like with my peeps because y'all are relatively intelligent too fucking brilliant like I have intelligent to brilliant people who watch the channel um and comment and whatnot y'all are goofy as fuck and I love that but you guys usually get the stuff that I'm talking about uh but yeah I get so because like you're the you know you not funny joke wasn't funny whatever it's like that's fine it's not for you but yeah beef brown beef in at least you got the fucking joke anyways it's like oh for instance okay um let me let me tell you exactly what I'm talking about there is a uh and the only reason I'm bringing up her gender whatsoever is because it comes into play here there's a female streamer on twitch uh that literally calls every guy she plays with a gamer boy and her comments are full of people going why do you why do you call them gamer boys they're just dudes or whatever because gamer girl is a thing it's like you can't just be a gamer if you're female you have to be a gamer girl or whatever it's like girls don't play video games which is absurd but you go down into her comments and nobody fucking gets it and I pointed out the first time I saw one of her videos uh because she posts her her highlights on on TikTok the first time I saw her I noticed she said I I taught uh no I I completely disturbed a gamer boy here's how I did it whatever and uh she it was a thing where there's like oh my god she's teabagging me he's like no girls don't girls don't teabag you gamer boy we clam slam flap slap and he goes no it's still a teabag if a woman does it and she goes back said the only way it's a teabag with a girl is if I dip my tampon in your drink fucking hilarious he was disturbed beautiful right but I commented I said gamer boy ellipses or dot dot dot I see what you did there with a laughing emoji and she said no one ever catches it no one ever catches it um but yeah uh that it's one of those things it's it's funny that so many people are just mindlessly on the internet mindlessly like they they're not even absorbing the content they are just like what or just it's visual stimulation and that's it oh exporting now you left it on a small cliffhanger oh y'all should we watch it no we shouldn't watch it right Craig we should we shouldn't let them watch it right not until next Monday or should I give y'all should we watch it should we watch it now should we Craig do you do I have your permission to watch it with the peoples at home I remember watching a whole coconut clam slam 90s is that now you got me is that it I'm not going to google this I'm like oh here's another thing so there is something that I have googled that I am honestly and I should have went into incognito mode for it there's something that I had to google that I had never heard before it's called the Romeo and Juliet law have you guys ever heard of the Romeo and Juliet law let me know that first could watch the first couple minutes little trailer vibe oh that could be good that could be good they couldn't catch a thought to save their life I don't want to believe that Zili I do not want to believe that I I think that most people the vast majority of people are capable of higher thought than just surface level bullshit I want to believe that like I want to have faith in that but at the same time people were eating tide pods you know that or you know and then you have stories like the guy who thought that a book would stop a 50 caliber bullet and so his girlfriend shot him killed him because the bullet just blew the book apart and blew his chest open no it's not it's it's it's not Japan um so the Romeo and Juliet law is something they actively have in Texas okay actively have in Texas uh and some other places there's multiple states that have it I didn't look to see if Alabama was one of these states because I didn't want to be traumatized but I heard them talking someone on tiktok talking about the Romeo and Juliet law and most people don't explain things on tiktok they make you go see it or they make you watch part two or whatever I ain't about that bullshit I'm just going to go to google so I go to google and I research the Romeo and Juliet law and the Romeo Romeo and Juliet law is it is not sexual assault or statutory or any of those things if the couple if it's consensual and the couple is three years apart that means that a 18 year old can have intercourse with a 15 year old and the law starts at 14 14 you can google it if you want to but you might end up on a list I'm just telling you now uh the starting point is 14 so a 17 year old can legally have intercourse with a 14 year old as long as they are three years apart and it's called the Romeo and Juliet law I was completely floored by this it they don't have to be married it just has to be consensual I'm like I I just I I don't know maybe I'm maybe I'm overreacting to this and y'all think it's cool or whatever it's okay but me that bothers me I know when I was 17 18 years old I didn't want anything to have to do with younger girls or girls I was girls my age and older women it just it seems predatory uh it was in transformers for that's exactly what the video was talking about it's like a teenage me wanting to waiting to watch the newest transform a movie and then the next caption was until I heard about the Romeo and Juliet law that's exactly what how it was brought up on tiktok I didn't want to either but I've given up too many overwhelming examples to the contrary I I get it Z I understand but but where are we headed if if we can't make people think again you know what where are we heading uh and and you see it in especially political discourse um now both sides are not the same don't get me wrong that's not what I'm saying but both sides have super fucking unintelligent people on them it's like there's idiots on both sides that'll just believe any fucking thing there was there was an AI uh video with Obama Trump and Biden playing call of duty together and they were razin on each other and whatnot even uh Bill Clinton came in for a second there were people in there that legitimately thought that these people played cod together that they were in the lobby with each other and the AI wasn't even that good you could literally hear the AI stuttering on certain words and mispronouncing them but of course with Biden and Trump they're they're gonna mispronounce everything anyway so I guess it is a little more believable but it's what I just I don't I can't wrap my head around the majority of people being idiots I can't they might be idiots now but I believe that they have the capacity to think for themselves eventually considering the state of our education system we're headed to absolute disaster yo I don't I don't disagree with that at all Zee me none but where does parental responsibility come in and I know not everybody has a parent a guardian or whatever but where does that come in where does that come into play you know I it's just like I saw a thing um it's like Christians especially will will say stop indoctrinating our children and then they have bring your five-year-old to Sunday school with you this this week it's literally indoctrination it's literally indoctrination what the fuck are you doing the way I phrase it I think of the dumbest least informed person you know that's the average person really god damn y'all really don't have any faith that's that's fine I mean I'm not I just I I like to hope that people are smarter than they show themselves to be it's it and it's not even because AI has gotten so good it's not I mean even before AI got as good as it was people were believing utter nonsense things that are just not fucking possible people just believing um like fucking uh what what was it the JFK junior or whatever was going to come Robert I can't remember which one it was but there he was going to come back and be Trump's vice president um and then there's another thing that uh the Dems there there are Dems who believe that uh Biden will be removed and Kamala Harris will will be the the next president uh and she she'll take over and just win the election it's a bunch of stupid shit there's just other kinds of idiotic just floating around that people are just believing fully that I saw I saw one video of it was a parody a parody of a political campaign and people were down there was like I can't find this person what state are they in rada rada I would totally vote for these people it was a fucking parody it was satire and then people were getting upset because it wasn't real it's like this is why we can't believe things anymore it's like it it maybe it does take a certain level of intelligence and that level of intelligence that just does not exist anymore that might be it but at the same time we have the entire lexicon of all information ever created on the internet either free or purchasable it doesn't parents don't seem to care either yeah they just throw a tablet on their kid and just you know learn learn everything from there um I know they're good parents we were very involved in our kids education but we were the exception our kids teachers constantly told us so yeah that that's unfortunate but but is also here's another thing to think of um is it the parents fault or is it that we are working parents to death to try and take care of their kids just trying to make ends meet and those parents are absent because of the system and it really has nothing to do with what they want to do for their child it has more to do what they can do for their child you're on the bigfoot subreddit don't judge me I'm not judging you even though I laughed a little bit I'm not judging you uh you'll see some opinions there I yeah I can imagine I'm wearing a bigfoot t-shirt right now and I got and I go to crypticon every year I am on a first name basis with all big feet what peeper what peeper yeah what peeper e 2024 what peeper what people never talk about is bag foot god damn it manly you're lucky you're lucky that I I was able to correct to myself there at the end because I really thought it was bog foot and bog foot is a real thing it's trench foot when your foot gets so wet it starts to literally rot on you yes parents are just trying to cover basic needs but plenty of affluent privileged parents making a mess of education yeah I can't disagree with that um is that you the only way to the only way to combat any of this that I see is a complete nut or fucking reboot like we are at a point in this country where everything is just completely gone off the rails and I don't even know what a reboot would look like an EMP going off would probably help us more than anything right now just making us go back to basics but there are so many people who would die if that happened because you have to worry about medical technology and all that stuff so you can't even do that it's like how do you fight a system so corrupt that corruption is the point you get what I'm saying you tourist everyone knows it's bigfoot's I had bog foot one time while trying to hunt for bigfoot hey it it makes sense it does make sense it sounds like Sony with their spider-man franchise yeah um so madame webb is getting shit panned every uh dan was so excited for that movie and they're probably still gonna go see it but at the same time none none of us have high expectations so they're definitely going to be going to see it on their own because I'm not no no y'all y'all listen listen I had a breakthrough with with a family member okay a breakthrough peep this and this meant more to me than anything else they have ever said to me in my life I've known them my entire life of course they're family right born in blood family very close family but I tend to try and stay away from them because reasons um main reason is that they're not aggressively homophobic but they have been known to say homophobic shit um so I keep dan away from them and whatever I was talking to this family member yesterday and I of course no matter who I talked to I refer to dan as they them no matter who I talked to and I was saying that and in the past when I started doing it this family member said how many people are we talking about I thought we were just talking about and then dead name dan I was like no they go by they them um and that's the last time I'm going to say it if you don't want to say it that's fine um but that's one of the reasons why I don't let you talk to them um so years go by yesterday I'm talking to this person randomly just about my health because I try to let my family members know and the the person the family member said first is that I know you are so proud of and then dead drop the gender okay but also you need to know and it's a little more to this conversation that they love you like they they change there at the end and it hit me and then from that point on this family member literally only referred to them as they them there was no argument there was no discussion about why they should change the way they were doing what they were saying or whatever that it's just like it suddenly clicked in their head either that or they were just mimicking me what either way but I want to feel like it's probably honestly probably the latter but I I want to believe that people have good in them and that people can can come around and it my jaw was on the floor for the last bit of the conversation because I was not expecting that I was not expecting the change especially not that drastically it's almost as if they had been practicing and wanted to change and finally got into the flow of it and it started working better or like I said more than likely the case is they were just mimicking what I was saying so I'll wait for streaming but it can't be worse but worse than Morbius is written by the same person same writer Craig same writer also wrote The Last Witch Hunter also wrote uh there was there's a couple other ones that they're all the the gods of Egypt they were every single movie that the people who wrote Madame Webb every single movie that they wrote was the worst movie of that year my favorite part of the movie was when Madame Webb said it's webinar did that actually happen because that is a joke I am seeing all over tiktok did that actually happen I had a revolutionary idea the other day let's seize control the state shit a fucking wish a fucking wish might oh god damn it Derek hang on I usually research every film I hear about so it shows how little I care about Madame Webb uh that I don't know the writers yeah uh if you if you go look at the writers it's literally yeah and for those people who are saying it's getting hate because it's a feminist movie plenty of women think this movie is awful for technical reasons there is absolutely atrocious ADR in it which is ADR is when they have to go back and redo their lines in post so they're in a booth recording lines over because for whatever reason the audio wasn't good or so on and so forth and literally everything the villain says at certain points is ADR it's like all of it is ADR uh and yeah so it's it's getting shitpanned by everyone uh there are people who say that it's a howard the duck situation where it's so bad it's good and I take offense to that because I think howard the duck is a master class in cinema in my opinion but anyways she said it's webbing time it's webbing time yeah howard the duck is wonderful best movie best movie ever ever ever produced period uh it's fair to say the whole comic book movie thing uh day is gone yeah it's done and dusted at this point uh say a decent saw a decent film out of darkness I have heard like that's the second time it's been released uh it came out a long time ago uh apparently Andrew Garfield was supposed to be spider-man in this film uh don't know if it's true but they cut him out out Sony should be banned from making films I'm trying to think of a good Sony movie give me a minute howard the duck is George Lucas's best film how are you gonna do William Hayek like that hi John I am I am heartbroken I am heartbroken George Lucas produced it William Hayek is the genius that directed Howard the duck he is the reason the film got made George Lucas just put up the monies I turned my heater off lucky you it's ducking time yeah fantastic you call me Howard the duck it's ducking time howard the duck master quack food you damn right baby quack quack anything song has made has been good has been bought after hang on I said what I said uh anything song has made that's been good my brain oh Sony okay anything Sony has made that's been good has been bought after the film's been made like once upon a time in Hollywood that makes sense that makes sense so it existed before Sony got their hands on it like before Sony could fuck anything up it which is odd because Sony wants like power over everything when you know whatever they do they want power over everything so why would they let someone like Quentin Tarantino who wants control over every aspect of his film I guess they buy it just because they know Quentin Tarantino is going to sell I guess I don't know but yeah any who uh okay so I got a couple recommendations for you and then I have to go my back's starting to hurt and we got to go out and dash today but I did want to hang out with you guys and talk and have fun whatever so thank you guys for joining me but there's two shows if you have not watched them they're both absolutely fantastic and yes they both happen to have something in common but that's not why I'm bringing them up together we just happen to watch them back to back first the show beef with Steven Yun and Ali Wong fucking amazing it's blew my mind it is not as simple as you first think it is it gets very deep and complex and it is very a 24 so if you dig a 24 definitely watch the series the second one is the brother's son s un because that's their last name the brother's son they're both on netflix the brother's son is one of the coolest action drama dramas i've ever seen the guys who the dudes who played the brothers charles and bruce as what the fuck manly bro oh no no you got go watch the shows go watch the shows but hi damn manly thank you i appreciate it holy shit uh hype hype for uh for team manly thank you for the poop i appreciate the hundred dollar poop um that's wow i don't i don't know what to say thank thank you thank you uh yeah that's wow manly uh you just finished the brother's son it was awesome michelle yeah yeah she was she was absolutely fantastic but i truly believe i i'm used to and this is probably a bias in my part i'm used to her being fantastic i like i'm used to her being so good but i had never seen the other two guys and those two guys i will literally watch anything that they are in now they were absolutely amazing and the actor who played the everybody was great but shing she was fantastic blood boots absolutely everything about the show is fantastic but the only reason i didn't mention michelle yo is because i'm used to her being great in everything i don't have kids and hate old people have some money i love you i love you too uh say hi to elizabeth for me uh however she's been taken care of uh make sure that she knows that i appreciate her too but yeah y'all y'all rock thank you so much for the money i appreciate it youtube's gonna take a whole fuckload of it but i i appreciate i don't even know what to say now shit like that when when things like this happen when

bottom of my heart i appreciate you because that's gas money bro and that's what we need right now is gas money uh all this dashing is putting the miles and miles and miles we're putting 100 to 150

well yeah you know how it is oh we had uh i i do have to go but we had probably shouldn't i had cabbage rice and asian themed pork chops last night uh dan made an amazing marinade uh gong gong chung chili sauce something i probably murdering that pronunciation uh and uh soy sauce mirin a bunch of different stuff garlic all that stuff it was it was amazing but i had way too much cabbage and rice
