The Sickos briefly discuss a number of topics: meeting a guy in the West Loop who talked like a bugged NPC, how the Cybertruck is basically this decade's equivalent to the Nokia N-Gage, why moving to Bluesky feels like starting a new file on a 200 hour+ game, and most importantly, that the photo of John Lennon where he's walking like an idiot is not funny and in fact sucks
[00:00:00] Behold, A Cold Open Joe Said Some Shit Before We Started Recording He Wasn't Even Saying It To Me He Was Just Saying It To Himself And This Is Just Having A Kid I Cannot Former Guest Oh And Dear Friend Of The Show And Dear Friend Of Mine Erica Said Having A Kid Makes You Stupid She's So Right And And Last Time I Mentioned This Shared Erica Wisdom I Got Called Out At Her House
[00:00:29] For Not Qualifying Her Full Name Because She Is Ego Driven And I Respect That So This Is Erica Dreisbach Noted Chicago Literary Celebrity Is That Correct Yeah I Think I Think Legend Is Legend Is Good Yeah Yeah Legend Yeah She's So Right And My Example Is I Heard Like The Beach Boys Song Surfing Like Once Surfing USA To Be Clear Surfing USA
[00:00:59] Yeah And Like Now I Just I Do Know How Many Times I've Sangs Everybody's Go Surfing Surfing Is Really Gay To My Son Just Like So And It's Not Even Like Oh I'm Like He He He He It's Just Like It's Just The Words Are Just Coming Out Of Me Because You Just Have To Constantly Talk And Winnie Will Sometimes Be Like Hey That Song You're Singing Like What Was The Origin Like What Was The Problem And Sometimes I Don't Have An Answer One Of Them
[00:01:29] I'd Be Like I'd Be Like I'd Be Like Okay So There's An Episode Of The Simpsons Where He Gets A Snow Plow And He Has A Song Called Mr. Plow So He Instead Of Being About A Snow Plow It's Hey Hey Mr. Guy There's My Guy Yeah Mr. Guy And Yeah Every Time He Wakes Up From A Nap I Sing That
[00:01:46] My Again Is Mr. Guy And I Gotta Stop Swearing

[00:01:57] That I Go And Visit
[00:01:58] That There Is It There Is Like A Wonderful Period Where Like Oh My God What A Cute Baby Oh It's A So I'm So We're So Happy For You What A New Chapter Of Your Life And We Still Get To Say Fucking Shit
[00:02:11] You Can Say Fucking Shit All We Want It's Fine And Then Like As The Child Ages You're Just Like The Brain Starts To Form Yeah It's Like It Was So Frigging Funny When You Said That Stuff Earlier And It's Just Like Oh No
[00:02:27] That's Wrong Serpents Really Gets That's Not Even A Swear No It's It But It's Also Like Not It's Just Stupid It's Just Like I'm Just
[00:02:37] It's Not Clever It's Like Sixth Grade Stuff And Unfortunately Like It's Like How I Putter Around The Day With I've Had Him For Two Days Because He Had Monday Off Because Of The Well It's Either The Evil Holiday Or The Evil Holiday That Was Renamed To Be Like Cooler

[00:03:30] Did I Ever Talk On The Fucking Podcast About How I Went To The Video Game Music Concert And Saw Kingdom Of Zeal Which Is Like One Of My Top Musical
[00:03:40] It's One Of The Top Things I've Ever Seen Musically Live Bar None It's Because It Was So Silly Because There Was Four Acts Before Kingdom Of Zeal The First Three Were Like Obviously Local Amateurs Who Seemed Very Amateurish But It Was Fun Because Because It's Video Game Music Everyone's Really Passionate About What They're Playing Because It's Like I Love These Fucking Beep Boop Tunes
[00:04:03] Then There Were These Two Guitar Guys Who Did Like Extremely Well Arranged Like Two Classical Guitar Remixes Of Video Game Music And Like They Were Clearly Virtuosos But With Every Song Is Two Classical Guitars It's A Very Limited Palette And Then Kingdom Of Zeal Came On And It Was A Full On Like Return To Forever Mahavishnu Orchestra Style Jazz Fusion Band That Played The Chrono Trigger Songs
[00:04:29] And It Was Like Blew My Entire Skull Off And They Said They Were Going To The Studio To Record An Album And I Don't Know When It's Gonna Come Out But It's Gonna Be The Best
[00:04:39] We Got Off Topic Here Which Is That Serpent Is Really Gay It's 2024 Gay Is Not Pejorative Anymore It's Actually Like Hip
[00:04:46] Yeah And Surfing Is Hip
[00:04:48] These Days Nothing Is Cool Unless It's Gay
[00:04:51] Who Is The Biggest Artist?
[00:04:53] Chapel Roan
[00:04:54] If You're Straight And You Listen To Her They Kill You
[00:04:56] I Haven't Heard Any Of Her Songs Because I'm Afraid
[00:05:00] Welcome To Anime Sickos
[00:05:27] It's The Podcast For Geniuses And The Only Podcast Where We Take A Look At The Four Pillars Of Modern Misery
[00:05:33] Anime, Gaming, Posting, And Jobs
[00:05:36] I'm Tom An Anime Sicko
[00:05:38] I'm Joe An Anime Sicko
[00:05:41] We Are The Only Podcast But If There Were Other Podcasts
[00:05:45] This Is The Only One Where Both Guys
[00:05:48] Don't Have A Job
[00:05:49] Hell Yeah I Got No Job
[00:05:52] And You Know What I've Been Doing Instead Of Working For Money Is Working For Free To The Point Where
[00:05:58] Did You Know We Made A Fucking Little Video Game
[00:06:02] Turns Out There's This Game Engine That's For Illiterate Babies Called Narrat
[00:06:10] Not A Critique We're Stupid It's Great For Us
[00:06:13] Yeah No It's Like We're The Babies
[00:06:15] Like
[00:06:15] Goo Goo Gaga
[00:06:18] And You Can Make Basically Disco Elysium Likes
[00:06:21] If You're Not Aware Of What Disco Elysium Is Like
[00:06:24] You See A Picture Of Where Your Guy Is
[00:06:28] And There's A Piece Of Receipt Paper Down The Right Side Of The Screen
[00:06:32] Where There's A Bunch Of Text
[00:06:33] And Every Once In A While You Get To Choose
[00:06:36] Some Things To Say
[00:06:38] And That's That's The Game
[00:06:41] And We Made One
[00:06:43] We Made This Because Tom Finally Caved
[00:06:49] And Started Watching Deadwood
[00:06:51] Which Is Such A Gift To Me
[00:06:54] It's Perhaps One Of The Most Joe Coated Shows Of All Time
[00:06:58] Because It's Like Really Well Written
[00:06:59] The Characters Are Amazing
[00:07:00] They Will Never Stop Saying Cocksucker
[00:07:03] I Love It
[00:07:05] But Talking With Tom
[00:07:07] I Was Like
[00:07:07] You Don't Be A Fucking Stupid
[00:07:09] I Guess Sketch
[00:07:11] And Then We Were Like
[00:07:12] Oh Wait No
[00:07:12] Actually This Could Be
[00:07:15] Something Even Worse
[00:07:17] A Video Game
[00:07:18] But It's Just Like
[00:07:19] The Game Is Like Three Minutes Long
[00:07:21] Okay It's
[00:07:22] You Are You
[00:07:23] Congrats
[00:07:24] You're In The Game
[00:07:26] And It's
[00:07:27] Us The Sickos
[00:07:28] With Soul Star
[00:07:29] And Sheriff Justified
[00:07:33] Leaving For Deadwood
[00:07:34] And We Find Out That We're All Setting Up A Hardware Store
[00:07:37] So We Gotta Figure Out What We're Doing
[00:07:38] It's Two Minutes Long
[00:07:39] The Point Is
[00:07:40] It's
[00:07:40] It
[00:07:41] Yeah
[00:07:41] The Point Is
[00:07:42] One
[00:07:43] Are We Capable
[00:07:44] Of Using This Game Engine
[00:07:46] Are We
[00:07:46] We Are The Apes That Found Fire
[00:07:48] That's What This Is
[00:07:49] Do You Understand Me
[00:07:50] Like It Doesn't Matter That It's Three Minutes Long
[00:07:52] It's That Like We Shouldn't Have Fire
[00:07:54] It's Us
[00:07:55] Learning That Like
[00:07:56] Oh God
[00:07:56] The Fire
[00:07:57] When You Put A Little Stick In It
[00:07:59] You Can Take The Fire With You
[00:08:00] The Fire Comes Out Of The Pit
[00:08:02] This Changes Everything
[00:08:04] It's Basically
[00:08:04] You Say Game
[00:08:06] And It's Not A Game
[00:08:08] It's A Sketch
[00:08:08] And It's A Button Press
[00:08:10] Yes
[00:08:11] There's No Branching Paths
[00:08:13] You Never Even Get To Choose Between Two Things To Say
[00:08:16] Every Time Your Guy Says Something
[00:08:17] There's Only One Choice
[00:08:19] So
[00:08:20] Again
[00:08:21] There's
[00:08:21] But
[00:08:22] There's Room To Grow
[00:08:23] For Sure
[00:08:24] Yes
[00:08:24] Room To Grow Is The Key Here
[00:08:26] Because
[00:08:26] Our Goal In Making This Game
[00:08:28] Was Not
[00:08:29] Let's Make A Great Game
[00:08:30] We Did
[00:08:31] That Just Happened
[00:08:32] Because We're The Greatest At Everything
[00:08:34] And Our Geniuses
[00:08:35] But The Goal Was
[00:08:36] Like
[00:08:37] Let Us Test Out
[00:08:39] A Test Version
[00:08:41] Of This Game Engine
[00:08:42] And Test Out
[00:08:43] Distribution
[00:08:44] So That When We Do It For Real
[00:08:46] Later
[00:08:46] We Know It All Works
[00:08:48] And To That Add
[00:08:49] Distribution
[00:08:50] You Can Play This Game
[00:08:51] We Might Make It Public
[00:08:52] At Some Point
[00:08:53] But Right Now
[00:08:54] It Is Only For Patrons
[00:08:55] So If You Want To Play It
[00:08:56] You Can Go On And Down To Patreon.com
[00:08:58] Slash Anime Sickles
[00:08:59] That's Patreon.com
[00:08:59] Slash Anime Sickles
[00:09:00] And Give Us Money
[00:09:01] And There Have Actually Been Two People
[00:09:03] Who Have Given Us Money
[00:09:05] Since We Have Released The Game
[00:09:07] If You Do That Thing Where You Make A Pledge
[00:09:09] Download The Game
[00:09:11] And Then Cancel Your Pledge
[00:09:12] Before You Actually Get Charged
[00:09:13] I Won't Know

[00:09:20] We Won't Tell No
[00:09:21] We Won't Tell The Cops
[00:09:23] But Our Two New Patrons
[00:09:25] First One Is Going To Be
[00:09:26] Ippolita Fernandez
[00:09:27] I Remember Ippolita From Before
[00:09:30] Because I Had To Ask
[00:09:31] How It Was Pronounced
[00:09:32] But This Time
[00:09:33] There Is An Accent Mark
[00:09:34] On The O
[00:09:35] Which Makes It So Clear
[00:09:37] Thank You Ippolita
[00:09:38] Thank You Thank You
[00:09:41] And Then This One
[00:09:42] This Is One Of Them
[00:09:44] Australianos
[00:09:45] They Are Giving Us
[00:09:47] Kangaroo Bucks
[00:09:48] This Is Holy Mountain Man
[00:09:50] Thank You Holy Mountain Man
[00:09:52] And Just Let Me Say
[00:09:54] The Australian Mind
[00:09:56] Is Intriguing
[00:09:57] It Is
[00:09:58] I Don't Understand
[00:09:58] What They Go On
[00:09:59] Down There
[00:10:00] They Put An O
[00:10:00] At The End Of Everything
[00:10:02] Their Slang Is On
[00:10:03] Another Level
[00:10:04] It's Like
[00:10:06] It's
[00:10:06] It's Like
[00:10:07] Cockney Words
[00:10:08] But You Can Tell What
[00:10:09] The Fuck They're Saying
[00:10:10] Yeah
[00:10:11] It's Funny
[00:10:12] They're Like
[00:10:12] So The Joke Is Like
[00:10:14] Do The British
[00:10:14] Do British People Know
[00:10:15] They Don't Have To Do
[00:10:16] The Voice
[00:10:18] But Australians
[00:10:19] I Think They
[00:10:21] Even If The
[00:10:22] Even If We Were
[00:10:22] To Extend That Joke
[00:10:23] To Them
[00:10:25] It's Like
[00:10:26] If They Are Just
[00:10:27] Putting That Voice
[00:10:27] On In The Same Way
[00:10:29] That The Joke Indicates
[00:10:30] That British People
[00:10:31] Are
[00:10:32] Whereas
[00:10:32] British People
[00:10:33] Putting In The Voice
[00:10:34] Is A Horrible Burden
[00:10:35] That They're
[00:10:36] Overjoyed
[00:10:37] To Throw Off
[00:10:38] When They Get Home
[00:10:38] And Can Talk Normal
[00:10:39] Like Us
[00:10:40] I Think If You
[00:10:41] Can Speak
[00:10:42] Aussie
[00:10:43] And Like
[00:10:45] Pass
[00:10:45] Say Smoko
[00:10:46] Yeah
[00:10:47] If You Can Do That
[00:10:48] Like That's So
[00:10:49] You're Like
[00:10:50] You're Fucking
[00:10:50] Like
[00:10:51] Macca's
[00:10:52] Is McDonald's
[00:10:53] Did You Know That
[00:10:54] Yes
[00:10:54] Macca's
[00:10:55] Macca's
[00:10:55] I Don't Even Know If It's E
[00:10:57] Or I Think It's A
[00:10:58] It's A
[00:10:58] Macca's
[00:10:59] Which Is Crazy
[00:11:00] Because It Wouldn't Be Mac-Os
[00:11:01] Based On Everything Else
[00:11:02] Again This Is Just
[00:11:03] It's One Of Those
[00:11:04] Like
[00:11:06] Non-Standard Things
[00:11:07] Like The Silent K
[00:11:08] It Makes Sense
[00:11:09] It Was A Prison Colony
[00:11:11] Yeah
[00:11:12] Yeah
[00:11:12] Yeah
[00:11:13] Thank You Holy
[00:11:14] Mountain Myth
[00:11:15] We're Gonna Make More
[00:11:16] Of Those Games
[00:11:16] The Ones That Are
[00:11:18] Gonna Come
[00:11:18] Later
[00:11:19] Are
[00:11:21] Slowly
[00:11:21] I Mean They're All
[00:11:22] Gonna Be Pretty Short
[00:11:23] For A While
[00:11:24] Will We Ever Make
[00:11:25] A Big One
[00:11:26] Perhaps
[00:11:27] But I Think
[00:11:28] Slowly
[00:11:29] And Surely
[00:11:30] We're Gonna Start
[00:11:30] Actually Integrating
[00:11:31] More Of Like
[00:11:32] The Mechanics
[00:11:33] That The Engine
[00:11:34] Allows You To Do
[00:11:35] Into The Game
[00:11:35] Like Skill Checks
[00:11:36] Both Active
[00:11:37] And Passive
[00:11:39] That
[00:11:39] That Sort Of
[00:11:40] Implies
[00:11:41] Will There Be
[00:11:42] Stats
[00:11:42] Yes
[00:11:43] There's Also
[00:11:44] Inventories
[00:11:44] And Branching Paths
[00:11:46] And All That
[00:11:47] Bullshit
[00:11:47] And Of Course
[00:11:48] How Stupid
[00:11:49] Can We Get
[00:11:50] With A Mechanic
[00:11:51] Like
[00:11:52] Yes
[00:11:52] The Mechanic
[00:11:53] Is In The Game
[00:11:54] But Can We
[00:11:54] Like Goof On It
[00:11:55] Yeah
[00:11:56] Like Every Single
[00:11:57] Game That's Been
[00:11:57] Made With
[00:11:58] NARAT
[00:11:58] And I Don't
[00:11:59] Mean To Be
[00:11:59] Dismissive
[00:12:00] When I Say
[00:12:00] This
[00:12:01] These Are
[00:12:02] Good Games
[00:12:03] And This Is
[00:12:04] A Good
[00:12:04] Type Of Game
[00:12:05] To Make
[00:12:05] But Like
[00:12:06] Legitimately
[00:12:07] Every Game
[00:12:08] That I
[00:12:09] Have Seen
[00:12:10] Published
[00:12:11] Made With
[00:12:11] NARAT
[00:12:12] Is About
[00:12:13] Lesbians
[00:12:14] And Or Trans
[00:12:16] Lesbians
[00:12:16] Who Are
[00:12:17] Animals
[00:12:18] Having Trauma
[00:12:20] Happen To
[00:12:20] Them
[00:12:20] Who Do You
[00:12:21] Think Made
[00:12:22] The Tool
[00:12:25] Well Yes
[00:12:28] So We Are
[00:12:29] A Counterweight
[00:12:30] Of Just Like
[00:12:31] What If It
[00:12:31] Was Just
[00:12:32] Dumb
[00:12:32] What If It
[00:12:33] Was Just
[00:12:33] Silly
[00:12:35] Funny
[00:12:36] So That's

[00:15:29] Be
[00:15:29] Everyone
[00:15:29] At
[00:15:29] Cafe
[00:15:29] Mustache
[00:15:30] Really
[00:15:30] Liked
[00:15:31] Us
[00:15:31] Because
[00:15:31] They
[00:15:32] Were
[00:15:32] Fucking
[00:15:32] There
[00:15:33] At
[00:15:33] Every
[00:15:33] Show
[00:15:33] And
[00:15:34] They
[00:15:34] Thought
[00:15:34] We
[00:15:34] Were
[00:15:34] Funny
[00:15:35] But
[00:15:40] some stranger being like i don't know are you any good i'm like oh god uh it's been harrowing but
[00:15:46] we're gonna we're gonna win him back uh all of us to say medley james medley is gonna do the
[00:15:51] recording he reached out and he's like i'll fucking handle it i'm like thank you king so it's gonna be
[00:15:55] recorded we're gonna put it out uh hell yeah enough preamble let's get into this show joe i
[00:16:02] think it's so fucking funny that they're called iras yeah so the cool thing about losing your job
[00:16:09] is you have to look at all your money and you find out like oh that's how it works yeah yeah
[00:16:13] and also because like you gotta roll over your 401k because your job is like you're not allowed
[00:16:19] to have anything with our name on it anymore you filthy fucking beast because of this uh again i
[00:16:27] i've spent a lot of time thinking about and reading ira and saying ira and like it's so wild to me
[00:16:34] that like no one ever acknowledges is like this is like these were the guys who wanted to these are
[00:16:41] the fellows like these guys had bombs like these are the guys who were like assassinating people
[00:16:47] see one thing about doing all this is that like there's you know there's roth iras and there's
[00:16:53] traditional iras and if i understand like they're like they're different right there's like one's one
[00:16:58] and one's the other i can't keep them straight um so what i did because i didn't know whether to put
[00:17:03] money in my traditional ira or my roth ira and i so like there has to be like why one's better uh i
[00:17:10] looked up what is the main benefit of a roth ira on wine uh and google said uh that your money only
[00:17:18] needs to get lucky once so that's the main benefit of roth that that was such a hard line uh we only
[00:17:25] need to get lucky once unfortunately like didn't it wasn't a cold shot it didn't work out thatcher wise
[00:17:32] but it was a cool thing to say it was the most badass thing you could possibly say to margaret
[00:17:37] thatcher unfortunately it retrospectively made them seem dumber unlucky it made him seem very
[00:17:45] unlucky yes it's just like it it uses this cold murderous uh air of inevitability like just because
[00:17:54] you got out this one time doesn't change a thing maggie except it did change a thing she fucking
[00:18:00] won she won and she's still winning yeah she's actually running heaven now i got a letter it's
[00:18:07] weird uh every uh prime minister goes into a big chamber where they have her brain in a jar like
[00:18:15] fallout and they get told by the way you just got to do what i say you're not actually the prime
[00:18:20] minister i'm forever now and they say oh god finally all of my all my hopes and dreams confirmed
[00:18:27] you're still here uh fucking christ uh it's called ira i love those photos of them hijacking the boats
[00:18:38] and like the guys on the boats are so pumped because they get the day off now like they when
[00:18:44] the ira uh hijacks your boat you don't got to go to work your boss is like oh sir why didn't you get
[00:18:49] any fish today why weren't why were you slagging off and you just be like well a bunch of fucking
[00:18:54] army guys who were fellas stopped yeah like the fella like so there's a bunch of these guys at the
[00:19:00] pub who i play darts with and half of them have fucking guns and they like showed up
[00:19:10] it's so that's great i guess prior to the invention of the internet that was the closest you could get to
[00:19:17] the internet at the office is down or it's just like yes free yes yeah i yeah they got me i can't
[00:19:25] work today they said you must take a vacation have you ever been in that situation in real life where
[00:19:30] the internet at the office is down yeah it's great because it's impossible uh everyone wants to just say
[00:19:36] can we just fucking leave can we just fucking leave like everyone wants to just go home and we should
[00:19:42] because the productivity tube is clogged uh but no it's it's excruciating it's just a bunch of people
[00:19:49] standing around and no one has the balls to yell let's all leave i mean it's excruciating i guess
[00:19:56] that's one way to take it when it happens to me it was sort of like i thought it was so fun because what
[00:20:02] you know why it was it's because i don't have to appear to not be on my phone that was the real it's
[00:20:11] like the the huge mind killer when i was in the office it's like obviously i'm on my phone but
[00:20:19] like why like i have to hide it i didn't have to be worried there's shame someone's yes you you're
[00:20:25] disgusted by it i'm disgusted by it yeah but this is just like no man you got to be on your phone what
[00:20:33] else are you gonna do and i'm just like fuck you fuck yes everyone's on their phones yes we win
[00:20:38] this is how it should be all the time uh fuck the internet so after tom got back from spain he came
[00:20:53] over to a little shittily uh we we ran into a bugged nbc i guess i don't know what else to say
[00:21:02] that's what happened uh we were going for a walk and uh as we were walking a very fucked up old car
[00:21:09] that was covered in tape uh like turned into an alley and it almost hit like this older guy who was like
[00:21:16] we go up to him and we're like hey are you okay that car almost hit you and then he just starts
[00:21:22] listing facts about the car that almost hit him like just talking like the the fucking play by play
[00:21:29] yeah not i'm like oh wow that was close or i'm upset it was just like here are the car facts about this
[00:21:35] model i mean he talk about but i legitimately based on his tone and how he shoes to discuss that
[00:21:42] uh and where he took the topic of conversation i do not think he noticed that he almost got hit
[00:21:50] it it was so close he had no idea and uh he was like yo that's a cadillac that's a cadillac from this
[00:21:58] year really great car you know i remember when they were new i had one like that and let me tell you a
[00:22:03] story about it and like it was just like oh okay uh and then he said i've never talked to this guy
[00:22:09] before and he said the most powerful thing ever to us is so he just kind of did this awesome
[00:22:15] lore dump on us uh and then he says anyway see you boys tomorrow and then he gives me like a light
[00:22:22] punch on the arm uh and it's just like fuck like what does he get hit by a car almost every day
[00:22:31] does he wait does he think does he think that like every time there's two guys
[00:22:36] that it's us because that would be so cool he's got really bad cataracts so it's just like there's
[00:22:42] two shapes walking on the sidewalk uh but the other the other thing that happened uh is i had to do
[00:22:51] some errands i had to pick up some stuff in the west loop and tom was like oh i'll drive because
[00:22:55] i'm blocking you in and i didn't say you're gonna have a bad time because i knew tom would complain
[00:23:01] and that'd be funny also i have a bad time every time i'm driving it'd be ridiculous to say that out
[00:23:07] loud yeah but you were in we're in for a thing um so yeah the west loop is like a it's a great place
[00:23:15] you get hit by a car that costs more than whatever your life insurance pays out uh we
[00:23:22] almost got hit by this like red lambo or sports car twice from the same direction meaning it drove
[00:23:30] around the world yeah yeah yes it was the flash running around the entire earth to hit you again
[00:23:36] with all the momentum of that uh that car reminded me nothing so much like it's remember the game the
[00:23:44] mini game from yakuza 7 where you ride around a little bike and you're collecting cans because you're
[00:23:50] homeless and you have and you have like a little uh cargo buggy behind you that fills up with cans as
[00:23:57] you collect the cans and then like every once in a while like a car comes through and it just sort of
[00:24:02] like wiggles around the map randomly and if it hits you you lose all your cans like that's that in real
[00:24:08] life except losing all your cans is becoming a dead fucking guy yeah he crashes into you and you lose all
[00:24:15] your points uh and then uh you uh complained about the uh the roof parking oh yeah oh because we had to go
[00:24:26] to mariano's to pick up your groceries and huh like the i'm from chicago joe i don't know if you know this
[00:24:35] chicago and surrounding suburbs i should say but i lived around this area my whole life my understanding
[00:24:41] is that when you're in a car you should not go up an incline fucking ever and when you are something went
[00:24:47] way wrong like i know that what i'm about to say isn't true but when i was driving up the ramp to go into
[00:24:54] that mariano's parking lot i was like this is like a 60 degree incline this is like yeah you would just
[00:25:00] fall backward yeah yeah i was like we're gonna so we're driving up this ramp but i'm really afraid
[00:25:07] that the front two wheels are gonna leave the ground and we're gonna fucking flip down like it's got a
[00:25:13] turn in there too and obviously there's the other car coming very fast because they want to get
[00:25:18] out because they hate the roof because it sucks yeah uh and then also you wanted me to go to the
[00:25:26] places where they bring you your deliveries obviously that would be where we would go because
[00:25:31] we were getting a delivery and there they were but i couldn't go there i had to go on a crazy little
[00:25:38] adventure around the parking lot because i had to follow the arrows and then when i was like backing up
[00:25:44] to leave i almost got absolutely destroyed by some car whooshing by and i'm like what ignoring
[00:25:50] those uh fun little suggestions yes i was like what we could have just gone that way and you're like
[00:25:55] no that guy's breaking the rules which is why he almost hit you and i was like oh i love this and
[00:26:02] then when we were driving back there was like some weird construction on our road and uh there was
[00:26:08] like the lanes went in a weird way and there were a bunch of cones everywhere and you're like oh it's
[00:26:12] just construction go there and you told me to go into the oncoming left lane and all the cars that
[00:26:17] were coming right at me started honking extremely loud i was trying to get you to build meter because
[00:26:23] you get meter tom when you drive in the wrong lane yeah i never activate my burnout it's so i get no
[00:26:29] points dude this is something i've had in my notes forever which i will now
[00:26:41] uh release into the world which is uh when tom's like really upset at someone he doesn't have jokes
[00:26:50] he's just hateful it's so fun uh i sent him that picture of uh elon musk doing his like wario jump
[00:26:58] wow yeah yeah he did the fart move and shot him up yeah and i was like oh i can't wait to
[00:27:05] read some zingers from my good friend tom about how he is jumping in a funny way and you texted back
[00:27:12] like 0.001 seconds immediately after uh with just i hate this big bitch like it's just like not a joke
[00:27:22] just like i just want him to die like he shouldn't be around like it's just and you do that when you're
[00:27:27] driving to where it's like oh i that car uh acted irrationally um i hope everyone dies in there yeah
[00:27:35] i mean it's not road rage i'm not angry but like when i'm wishing them to die yeah i'm just i i'm
[00:27:41] thinking rationally like when i see one of those huge lifted killdozer trucks and uh they drive by me
[00:27:49] i just use logical reasoning it's like if the person who bought that car died would that be
[00:27:56] a benefit for the world yes then i do wish i do wish that that uh driver died i hope they die it's
[00:28:03] just like their bones could be put to better use there's like a wind chime or something like just
[00:28:08] today they repaved our street a while ago and just today they put the speed bumps back in and uh
[00:28:16] you know prior to that every single day there's this guy on a fucking sporty ass super hyped up
[00:28:22] motorcycle who doesn't go anywhere on it he just does like circuits and he drives down our little
[00:28:28] residential street at like 60 miles per hour and it makes the loudest sound in the universe and he does
[00:28:34] this at all hours and when i saw the speed bumps getting put in my first thought was like oh yes now
[00:28:40] that guy will hit the speed bump and be killed he uh he'll explode on contact with it yeah it's like yes
[00:28:48] now what a good day i don't know dude i mean some people i just don't think they got what it takes
[00:28:55] to be in society and you know you want me to joke about it well this is something i take seriously
[00:29:03] on the must subject i will say i was behind a cyber truck in real life recently uh in a turn lane
[00:29:11] i'd seen them passing by or parked but i've never been like behind one in actual traffic
[00:29:15] it still looks like shit but the thing that was very interesting to me is that it was quote unquote
[00:29:23] hauling something which is to say there was something in the truck back but the thing was not that big and
[00:29:29] it took up all of the available space making the back seem like a fake truck for jokes
[00:29:37] yeah which we knew but the fact that like oh yeah you'd like really can't put it like those are oranges
[00:29:44] like that's groceries like like a fucking mini cooper can take groceries home that was another thing joe do
[00:29:51] you remember this were you like in the test the test area for this there used to be this program
[00:29:57] in chicago they took it away because i guess it didn't make any money but there were these little
[00:30:02] fucking uh smart cars you know like the fucking joke cars that look like that are like as big as a
[00:30:08] that yellow and red toy car that goes those those are cool because like if you just get a buddy you can
[00:30:14] steal one yeah well they had a program where you paid like 10 bucks and you could just like go up to
[00:30:22] the nearest one on the street and it would just like know your phone was like the one and you could
[00:30:29] get in and drive it around and then you could just park it fucking anywhere i mean as long as it was
[00:30:36] legal to park there you could park it anywhere and you just tell your fucking app like here's where the
[00:30:40] car is now by the way i'm done renting it and like that that like that's just a scooter system but for
[00:30:48] smart cars yes it was a scooter system but you can but groceries could fit in there uh and it was so
[00:30:56] god those are some beautiful months dude god damn anyway uh yeah the cyber truck everything about it
[00:31:02] looks like oh my god i finally made this connection i've my brain has been wanting to make this connection
[00:31:09] since it was released everything about the cyber truck is very nokia n gauge coded you remember that
[00:31:15] yeah remember the n gauge yes the idea looks bad when it's demonstrated it looks stupid homie of the
[00:31:22] show and composer of our theme song had an n gauge in high school i know chuck had an n gauge this was
[00:31:28] like a thing he was known as the n gauge kid i'm not joking so then he would know that much like the
[00:31:34] cyber truck when you get past the ridicule and the stigma you actually give it a chance value
[00:31:39] it's worse no no it's worse than it's worse even than you thought it would be uh yeah because you
[00:31:46] don't play tony hawk 2 on a numpad the end gauge looks like shit the cyber truck looks like shit it's
[00:31:53] it's the same thing which is like what if we radically change every uh assumption about how
[00:31:59] this item should look and it's like well some of those were like load-bearing assumptions
[00:32:04] that have been there for reasons
[00:32:14] so recently i i've been making like a new friend like an adult new friend i've been going on playdates
[00:32:22] uh it's the first new friend i've made in like a long ass time uh and that's been fun for a number
[00:32:29] one of which is that all of my fucking classic stories are new again uh shit that i could never
[00:32:36] say to joe because he's heard it a million times and no longer finds it funny this motherfucker finds
[00:32:40] it i'm too far in the social link it won't work on me yeah yeah yeah uh however the one downside to
[00:32:48] that is he's like oh so tell me about this podcast you apparently have what's it about and i'm like
[00:32:55] shit man it's called anime segos but it's not about anime and normally i would say what it's
[00:33:00] really about is about anime gaming posting and jobs the four pillars of modern misery except that
[00:33:05] like man not even really anymore because we've never watched anime we don't have jobs and this is
[00:33:12] the didn't occur to me that that part doesn't apply i yeah i guess we don't we don't have jobs and we
[00:33:18] certainly don't do posting episodes anymore we use that was the thing that was our go-to whenever we
[00:33:22] wanted a big pop whenever like uh the interest has been low lately let's get a fucking pop bag
[00:33:28] let's collect some freaks let's laugh at some freaks but uh that's not the case so much yeah no we don't
[00:33:37] do that anymore because it used to be that we would generate this sort of stuff naturally by just using
[00:33:44] twitter at the pace that we normally would uh due to our as set by our own natural desire
[00:33:53] uh but i don't really like to look at twitter so much anymore and i certainly don't like to collect
[00:33:59] posts because uh i don't know if you've been on that fucking website lately but the only kind of
[00:34:04] posts that there are now are uh listing the latest type of guy israel has burned alive in their bed
[00:34:12] which is not very funny yeah and then like a you know half of all replies are like
[00:34:18] either actively uh making an excuse for it or hell yeah um it's just grim uh the other thing i was
[00:34:26] i kind of come back to is like i don't want to know that like my stupid little joke is gonna show up
[00:34:32] under you know uh it's just i i just it's uncommon like everything about it just feels so evil and i know
[00:34:41] object permanence works and this is not like oh by not looking at it i'm taking care of myself look i
[00:34:46] got it's the the absolute misery is continuing whether or not uh we look at it it's just like i i
[00:34:53] can't i don't know i i can't sit with this it has it has really uh just completely changed
[00:35:01] my relationship with the phone where it's just like a huge part of the phone which is like oh i can
[00:35:07] use this to look out into the world is just not for me yeah it's um it's bad dude i mean i i get
[00:35:16] your saying about object permanence it's not as though like it's not as though you were removing
[00:35:22] the pain of the big genocide but like at the same time it's like if you have like a big fucking open
[00:35:27] wound or if you have a burn of like you have a big active burn you're still not gonna want to
[00:35:32] like be fucking like slap stop poking it don't poke it it's it's it's bad i think you said you
[00:35:40] were using like whatever clean twitter or basically an extension that unfucks up everything that has
[00:35:46] happened to twitter uh which is good but the issue is that like that's not how everyone else is uh
[00:35:53] experiencing it and like the the contents of it reflect how people are experiencing it which is just
[00:36:01] like the fact that you get payouts based on blue check like it's in your best interest to basically be
[00:36:08] uh as inciting and uh response inducing as possible i mean like like honestly the meta if you are like
[00:36:20] at all smart what you have to do is you have to have your avatar be like uh like a beautiful lady
[00:36:27] and every 30th of the month uh when you realize how rents do tomorrow you have to make some post that's
[00:36:34] like uh low-key if a man on a date pays for your dinner you should cut his dick off i'm like that
[00:36:41] like that is the way to use twitter like that is how you will make your money uh and it's no fun
[00:36:48] no uh it doesn't know that the worst replies are always on top now uh as i said before tom has that
[00:36:56] thing that extension but like it's just like the you're guaranteed this is the one two punch now it's
[00:37:02] like any post you see even if it is an objective sort of like this occurred you were guaranteed to
[00:37:10] see the worst fucking shit underneath that immediately it's it's uh for the reasons we said because they are
[00:37:18] if you have a blue check you have an incentive to be as insightful at insightful with the c
[00:37:24] as possible yeah inside uh it's it's fucking bad i mean and also like i have the like you said
[00:37:32] like you indicated i have the extension control panel up with twitter which uh cuts out a lot of
[00:37:39] the evil algorithm elon shit um mostly i just see the people that i follow the problem with that
[00:37:47] is i follow people who i've known so i'm not seeing anything new yeah i'm not seeing any like
[00:37:53] crazy stuff the thing is there will be nothing new good yeah uh and the thing is it doesn't even
[00:38:00] really protect me because all of these people that i follow are bleeding heart uh social justice
[00:38:07] warriors like myself who wish justice occurred so they are when we learn about the newest type of person
[00:38:14] that israel has burned alive in their beds they retweet being like i can't believe israel did this
[00:38:20] and it's like i can't oh i sure can i've been seeing it a lot for me if i'm gonna be burned alive my bed
[00:38:28] is one of the last places i'd like that to happen um that just showed up in my for you tab uh i was one of
[00:38:36] that's for you yes that's the what it's what an awful implication uh there have also been images
[00:38:42] from this uh i don't know i was gonna call it like conflict but that's kind of not it uh kill streak
[00:38:50] yeah that like it took like i was i did not realize i was looking at gore like my brain was not
[00:38:58] processing what i was seeing uh and this was something that just like showed up in my for you tab
[00:39:03] and the for you tab is deranged aside from that stuff like it's just pushing the most
[00:39:11] again like they want everyone to be pissed angry uh it's so clearly like right wing favored
[00:39:18] it's not even like subtle it's just trash uh but there is some need to communicate that twitter has
[00:39:27] for me that i just need to figure out where i can get that elsewhere because it's not going to be there
[00:39:33] i mean here's the thing we make the funny joke funny we make the same tired joke about blue sky
[00:39:41] every time which is it don't got the juice but as i was mentioning to you before i don't fucking know
[00:39:46] you know how long it's been since i used blue sky in any real way other than like do i have any
[00:39:51] notifications no okay shutting it down um so it might have a totally uh identifiable feel and vibe
[00:39:59] and culture now that's fun and worth using i i'm gonna say almost i'm gonna say it's likely that
[00:40:07] that's the case now and that it does have the juice here's the thing though i'm fucking in my mid 30s
[00:40:14] i do not wish to like spin up a blue sky account and like put in the like i'm just like start over
[00:40:21] you know what it's like it's like i love elden ring i love playing elden ring i think about all the
[00:40:26] i think about maleketh the black blade oh what a fun boss i'd love to fight maleketh i think about
[00:40:31] uh when you get to the lane down for the first time oh boy now that's great that's some fine
[00:40:37] gaming but like the idea of like well tom why don't you start a new elden ring file it's like
[00:40:45] because it takes fucking 30 hours of like scrabbling in the mud to get there and the first time you do
[00:40:51] the 30 hours scrabbling in the mud it's great because you really feel all of your uh upgrades
[00:40:58] and all the you know successes you have and all the ways you get stronger you feel that you feel like
[00:41:03] you earned it but like i'm past that like i mentally i'm in the end game and i can never
[00:41:09] only take myself out of the end game yeah like at most you can respec but you will you will not
[00:41:16] uh be uh building from the ground up it's ask me to go off of twitter and start using blue skies my
[00:41:24] main social media is like asking me to remove the double jump and air dash abilities from my kit
[00:41:29] it's like no no like and it's stupid because like well oh the the twitter the game in this metaphor
[00:41:38] is a bad game you hate so why do you need to double jump and air dash and it's just like i the fact that
[00:41:44] you even asked me that tells me you don't understand double jumping and air dashing is the most important
[00:41:48] thing in the world twitter was just it is i guess if you still use it the same way but it's just like
[00:41:56] really set up to be the perfect in-between activity for any other activity uh it is so
[00:42:03] dopamine ready the value offering on twitter which is just like here are posts and also even if you
[00:42:09] don't post you can like you know for sure shack said this you know yeah these things were said
[00:42:13] that's gone and it's never coming back and like that was useful dude have you seen bob dylan tweeting
[00:42:23] though bob dylan started tweeting himself for the first time like a month ago and it is so fucking
[00:42:30] funny but have you seen this i'm gonna open up bob dylan's twitter account and show you dude because
[00:42:35] it is incredible he he is the most like 80 year old man who ever logged on
[00:42:43] so like prior to this he's had only like his team being like he oh buy bob dylan's box set bob dylan
[00:42:50] is gonna be at this place doing a concert buy tickets now bob's here for real his first post
[00:42:57] as himself is happy birthday mary joe see you in frankfurt five days later he says i just found out
[00:43:03] about the other day that bob newhart is gone rest in peace bob you brought us a lot of joy
[00:43:09] the next day after that he says last time i was in new orleans we ate at dookie chase's restaurant on
[00:43:14] the corner of north muro and orleans if you're there i highly recommend it thank you bob dylan uh
[00:43:21] and then on october 9th he says i ran into one of the buffalo sabers in the elevator at the prog hotel
[00:43:27] they were in town to play the jersey devils he invited me to the game but i was performing that night
[00:43:34] and this is these are bob dylan's tweets the thing is like twitter had so much of those
[00:43:42] there was more of that and now it's just it's it's scammy everybody's grifty there's a there's a
[00:43:50] veneer of mlm marketing to everything that's being said i also don't like this new like quote
[00:43:56] meta where it's like the way people do posts now is like here's what i learned a thread
[00:44:02] bullshit and you know what i really hate is when podcasts are like uh we didn't make an episode but
[00:44:09] we do have a shirt you can buy a video game you can pay us on patreon and play it's like get like focus
[00:44:16] on the thing you do best you know which is do it wrong we're really good at doing it wrong
[00:44:21] never been horny never been horny for that i ever got horny so i finally landed on like why i keep
[00:44:35] reading kengen omega because it's it's not good like you you every time you tell me some kengen omega
[00:44:42] facts i'm like sounds like a terrible fucking series and sounds like bad now and like that's not wrong
[00:44:50] it's not but i've realized my draw to it is is because it's like this so kengen ashura is like
[00:45:00] fucking perfect i really think it's just a killer manga it's awesome agreed imagine a man in a room
[00:45:07] and he is holding in the palm of his hand like a flaming two by four and all around him
[00:45:15] on the ground is like cotton and like gunpowder okay yeah and he's gonna keep balancing this on his
[00:45:25] hand otherwise he'll explode and die and he's gonna be in there for a full hour for sure kengen ashura
[00:45:33] is that guy standing perfectly still with the flaming two by four in his palm there is very little wobble
[00:45:40] uh he is never in danger kengen omega is you get to watch this guy fucking almost drop it for an hour
[00:45:50] and like he just keeps almost eating shit and i cannot reiterate enough that there's gunpowder and
[00:45:59] like old oily rags all over the floor and you're like oh in a grain silo and in this case the metaphor
[00:46:07] is the explosion is just like it's the plot is so fucked that he's like i'm done like it's over uh it is
[00:46:15] it's just very uneven but like it has just but i'm back in it because you showed me one of the cool guys
[00:46:20] it is a hostage situation and the reason i say that it's because the first kengen ashura has no fat
[00:46:27] it's like let me just show you cool guys uh it's not a typical sort of like way to do a narrative
[00:46:34] where it's like the first book is the wiki and then the the following series
[00:46:42] will not like go into too deep about what happened but it will mention some things
[00:46:48] uh and it'll just expect that like you know that these guys are cool uh and yeah it like i feel like
[00:46:55] it doesn't want to explain itself sometimes like it can't be bothered but the reason i'm in it is right
[00:47:00] now like it just the new chapter just came out today it's a fight between fang and the filipino
[00:47:07] guy del rondo who is like the he was in you you read the the purgatory tournament so he was the guy
[00:47:13] that fought oma like he was he's he was like a strong guy that like didn't have a presence in a
[00:47:20] sure he didn't exist but like he's a star they put him in there he's cool because he has the raid
[00:47:26] fighting style tom he's the raid guy oh yeah a lot i don't know how to say it yeah he does a lot
[00:47:33] okay so like do you see how like it can be dog shit and then it's like okay fang is now fighting
[00:47:37] the raid guy right you're like okay fucking fine um and like the other thing i really like about
[00:47:45] this raid guy is as you are well aware kangen omega and ashura has like kind of powers like people
[00:47:54] can do weird shit like uh make their brain unleash their muscle limiters or whatever uh what's cool
[00:48:01] about this guy is like all his moves and stuff are not like powers and like like his like in the the
[00:48:09] lead up where he like won his like kick-ass move he does is he just always knows how to throw elbows
[00:48:15] from your blind spot and it's just like that's it like that sucks like it's like beard oh it's like how
[00:48:22] beard oh didn't have any powers he's just the best at this correct so i don't know what's going
[00:48:26] to happen literally after we're done recording this i'm probably just going to read the next chapter
[00:48:30] but yeah it's not even but it is a uh am i going to see this this series eat shit every week is is the
[00:48:39] feeling the way you put it to me that i thought was so good is it's kengen omega is in that space
[00:48:46] that you're in when you're playing mario tennis and you're in the middle of a volley and you
[00:48:50] technically haven't lost the volley but you do have to dive yeah all movements on both sides is
[00:48:57] exclusively diving it's just like that frantic like this is we're this is getting away from us
[00:49:11] listener you might recall ever seeing at some point a little cartoon black and white cartoon drawing
[00:49:18] of a furious unpleasant little troll man on the street thinking the phrase i hate everyone i see
[00:49:28] look at that asshole and he is staring at a sort of breezy guy in sunglasses whistling a little tune
[00:49:37] as he walks down the street and there's a little box with an arrow pointing to that guy which says
[00:49:44] normal guy this is our crumb comic uh that does not involve a lady's huge thighs crushing his head
[00:49:51] this is a different topic for him uh yeah so you'd be you'd be forgiven for not thinking it was an
[00:49:57] r crumb but it is um you said to me once show that the real goal of life this is what life's all about
[00:50:05] and i think this is why you're gonna be a good father to to ivan uh as he gets i mean you are now but
[00:50:11] when he gets to the talking you'll really figure it out you're really putting in the work uh you're
[00:50:16] not there yet uh there's different stages of fatherhood is what i'm saying anyway you told me
[00:50:25] the honestly that the point of life is to be the whistling normal guy the point of life is to not
[00:50:31] even be aware that there are little toads in the background thinking this shit you were born the toad
[00:50:38] and you must become whistling guy because like someone stewing over you and being upset while you
[00:50:47] are unaware of it your defense value is insane you cannot be hurt it's the most powerful defense it's like
[00:50:54] a super counter it is joe this is a phrase that is played out and is often uh emblematic of the
[00:51:03] opposite being true which is uh living rent free in one's head when someone says that when someone
[00:51:09] like tries to like slam their enemy by being like rent free that is the most embarrassing shit on earth
[00:51:16] that's like using a cry laughing emoji it's like this is can you believe you're thinking about the
[00:51:21] thing we're talking you fucking idiot yeah if you are the one who points out that's that you are
[00:51:29] rent free in someone else's head that means that you are thinking about this 100 of your life
[00:51:36] the only the only way living rent free in someone's head is legitimate is if like you get told like did
[00:51:43] you know you're living rent free in their head and you're like huh no you have to be told that from a
[00:51:49] third party because yes if you're aware of it that's the rent like because you are thinking about
[00:51:53] it too that's the rent yeah everybody starts out as the toad guy or rather there are multiple versions
[00:52:02] of the toad guy in different aspects of life and you must eventually align yourself to that guy is
[00:52:08] trucker coded right would you say he's trucker coded the guy who's whistling the normal guy yeah yeah
[00:52:14] the goal is to become a not a trucker but that trucker i guess a similar but not quite as pure
[00:52:23] example is the i'm just trying to grill guy but that is not pure because that is coded as like
[00:52:31] saying that uh social movements and political movements like i don't care your mistake is caring
[00:52:38] yeah yes and it's like don't like like that's all though abstract it's like no no no no the
[00:52:44] whistling guy can care about palestine the whistling guy can want medicare for all his defense dad is also
[00:52:52] a billion yes yes you just like i what what what what what what what what what what what what what
[00:53:00] what are the ingredients of the best days of my life when i think about days that are just like
[00:53:07] total fucking wall to wall hits what is happening in them i'm hanging out with a buddy i'm walking
[00:53:14] around to a place i am yeah i'm yapping funny jokes with them we have a little a little food yummy
[00:53:22] we go over here maybe we play a game fun you're out of your head all of this the same reason why
[00:53:29] games are good you you were able to get out of your head which is the ultimate uh crime we have to
[00:53:36] pay for until we're a corpse it's just like it's hard to get out of your head but you know who can
[00:53:41] get out of his head is whistling guy normal guy can do that on a dime and the fucking toad well i
[00:53:47] think it says it all that he's got a thought bubble next to him um which is not to say that like
[00:53:53] introspection and and and critical thought but he is making no impact on the material world yes yes
[00:54:00] yes this is why it's so good to make a podcast because because we're making an impact yeah that's
[00:54:09] it this is also why posting fucking sucks now more than ever posting is just like hey toad man here's
[00:54:17] the steering wheel to like to fucking turn me straight into the ditch toad man has like a
[00:54:23] financial incentive to continue to be toad man like he will never stop uh i mean and when you think
[00:54:28] about the posting episodes when we would be like look at this freak look at this freak look at this
[00:54:33] freak we are it is the same thought process as the toad man which is a toxic thing to think the only
[00:54:40] difference is that we're not thinking this about a whistling normal guy we are thinking it about even
[00:54:45] more foul toads who also are evil so that's the difference yeah it's still like oh it's like okay to do
[00:54:52] that i will say that it is a little psychically damaging but now it's just fucked like it for the
[00:54:58] reasons we've discussed like now you just can't even find the funny freaks to laugh at the freaks are
[00:55:04] just like uh the people who i don't think are real should all get killed and i and i'm glad that my
[00:55:10] friend donald is going to do it when he wins yeah the computer used to be so much better it did also why
[00:55:21] does john lennon walk like that i hate that picture that picture pisses me off so much him
[00:55:26] i don't know why okay i don't know why this infuriates me i'm not like a please have some decorum type of
[00:55:33] guy i'm not but the silly walk he's doing with yoko ono as she laughs like it's fun like he's done
[00:55:40] this before this is one of his classic john jokes i hate it i hate how he's walking and i hate the look
[00:55:46] on his face it infuriates me on a regular i've sent you that picture randomly been like i hate this i
[00:55:53] hate when i see this because i'll see it online because someone will post it because it's like
[00:55:57] semi-iconic uh yeah and the reason i bring it up is because it's sort of like our crumb either did
[00:56:04] a comic doing this or john lennon was trying to be the comic isn't he doing the uh keep on
[00:56:11] trucking walk yes it's that that's it yes okay but i hate it i hate it i just don't like it uh
[00:56:18] i have some respect you're an adult john people look up to you this is why they shot him i hate how
[00:56:27] he walks he needs to be serious oh god anyway don't walk like that folks and not in front of me
[00:56:39] walk the normal way this is why uh george and paul are the two best beetles because they never did that
[00:56:46] they would never do a silly walk yeah ringo's even a silly guy and he never did that walk
[00:56:54] his name is that of a circus elephant i read a fucking did you know fact that there's a yoko
[00:57:08] hard for like an amount of time which is too long oh like he's supposed to see the doctor
[00:57:13] yeah yeah yeah and then at the end he like jizzes unassisted oh he does a hands-free sitch that's cool
[00:57:21] again it's just like have some fucking decorum like like crank it like if you're gonna if you're gonna
[00:57:30] fucking jizz like do like do some rotations like the ambiguity honk the hog is rough i understand now
[00:57:38] like usually i don't know how long i'm gonna be sitting watching this but if there's the cranking
[00:57:43] you have a tempo sort of yeah and it's just like there's something to look at you know motion like
[00:57:49] that's motion picture it's right in the word like people like moving things i'm not saying that like
[00:57:55] a film of john lennon's hog close up is sounds especially entertaining but at least give me
[00:58:03] something a while away the hour you should have been cranked it's happening should have been you
[00:58:07] should have been cranking his hog yoko is still alive she could hear this and this is the kind of uh
[00:58:13] feedback that turns a good artist great so maybe this is maybe she's gonna be able to use this
[00:58:19] in her next piece but yeah the next time you make your hog films have them cranked oh please
[00:58:25] consider this feedback yeah um anyway that's all the time we have for anime sickos if you film
[00:58:32] your own dick um a lot of people do is my understanding yeah if you're gonna do that
[00:58:38] this is my artistic suggestion it would probably be visually interesting to be fucking like honking
[00:58:45] that shit um yeah and maybe wear a colorful glove you i never would have thought of that dude
[00:58:54] that'd be so you know what you could do is you could wear i saw a guy in spain at a jazz concert
[00:59:02] who had 10 of these on his fingers and he played a song using them they're these little plastic thingies
[00:59:07] these little cap that you put in your fingertip and then there's a whistle on the end and so you
[00:59:11] would have those that i'll leave a different color and so again color and motion cool and then
[00:59:17] every once in a while just take one and go like doot doot doot doot doot and it's just like you never
[00:59:21] know when you might hear a funny song in your dick video all which is to say she really did the bare
[00:59:28] minimum with that uh there was so much more you could go for and i know there's minimalism as an
[00:59:35] argument but i just don't feel like if you're being minimalist you're not pulling out a hog
[00:59:40] they're sort of maximalist you can't self do minimalism if there's come at the end it's not
[00:59:45] working it's not working yes i agree completely um so this has been a 100 like hog based episode
[00:59:53] of anime sickos if i remember correctly i'm just looking back what we've been talking about and it's
