1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:09,480
Welcome to Nice Ashes, I'm Mike.

2
00:00:09,480 --> 00:00:10,480
And I'm Nate.

3
00:00:10,480 --> 00:00:12,360
What are we smoking, Mike?

4
00:00:12,360 --> 00:00:16,680
We are smoking the Gurkha Centurion.

5
00:00:16,680 --> 00:00:20,720
This is another torpedo, double torpedo, and I'm excited.

6
00:00:20,720 --> 00:00:21,920
The last one was really good.

7
00:00:21,920 --> 00:00:27,480
The last one was, and this wrapper is a little bit darker, slightly, slightly darker than

8
00:00:27,480 --> 00:00:34,400
the vintage 2001, not drastically so, not drastically darker, but just enough, just

9
00:00:34,400 --> 00:00:35,400
enough darker.

10
00:00:35,400 --> 00:00:38,160
So I too am interested.

11
00:00:38,160 --> 00:00:41,080
Maybe we should talk about the double torpedo a little bit.

12
00:00:41,080 --> 00:00:47,840
The double torpedo tapers at both ends and I don't really know how or why other than

13
00:00:47,840 --> 00:00:52,640
when it's a double torpedo, it lights really easily because you have a smaller diameter

14
00:00:52,640 --> 00:00:57,520
to light and then it kind of lights the rest, the full girth of it later.

15
00:00:57,520 --> 00:00:59,320
Yes, it does.

16
00:00:59,320 --> 00:01:06,120
And it seems to me, it keeps the smoke cooler, at least for the first quarter.

17
00:01:06,120 --> 00:01:07,920
Because it's expanding, you know?

18
00:01:07,920 --> 00:01:14,100
Yeah, maybe it's a way to get around the first few puffs, sourness or stankiness or whatever

19
00:01:14,100 --> 00:01:17,000
that plagues so many other cigars.

20
00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:18,000
It does.

21
00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:22,760
It does, it does kind of taste not as creamy, a little darker, but still very smooth.

22
00:01:22,760 --> 00:01:25,760
Yeah, it's a little bit more bite to this one.

23
00:01:25,760 --> 00:01:26,760
Yes.

24
00:01:26,760 --> 00:01:28,960
Not in a bad way.

25
00:01:28,960 --> 00:01:30,800
Not in a bad way at all.

26
00:01:30,800 --> 00:01:33,000
So I quite like it so far.

27
00:01:33,000 --> 00:01:34,600
Last episode, we talked about your week.

28
00:01:34,600 --> 00:01:35,600
My maladies.

29
00:01:35,600 --> 00:01:36,600
Yes, your maladies.

30
00:01:36,600 --> 00:01:39,200
So we're going to talk about my busy ass weekend.

31
00:01:39,200 --> 00:01:40,200
Okay.

32
00:01:40,200 --> 00:01:43,160
So last episode was Nate's maladies.

33
00:01:43,160 --> 00:01:46,200
This episode is Mike's maladies.

34
00:01:46,200 --> 00:01:48,120
And there aren't so much maladies.

35
00:01:48,120 --> 00:01:50,600
It's just busy, just busy, busy, busy.

36
00:01:50,600 --> 00:01:51,600
Okay, busy, busy.

37
00:01:51,600 --> 00:01:52,600
Yes.

38
00:01:52,600 --> 00:01:58,720
So Friday, I left work early and we actually went down to the metro and watched Jimmy Dore

39
00:01:58,720 --> 00:02:06,640
because Jimmy Dore had a comedy two hour at, what the hell, it wasn't the Palace Theater.

40
00:02:06,640 --> 00:02:08,240
It was a theater down there somewhere.

41
00:02:08,240 --> 00:02:09,240
Come on now, I can't remember.

42
00:02:09,240 --> 00:02:10,240
Doesn't matter.

43
00:02:10,240 --> 00:02:11,240
He had it at a theater.

44
00:02:11,240 --> 00:02:12,600
We do have some theaters down here.

45
00:02:12,600 --> 00:02:13,600
Yeah.

46
00:02:13,600 --> 00:02:18,000
So we went to the theater and we had a nice dinner and we didn't get home until 1.30 in

47
00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:22,080
the morning and then we were up till 3.30 with the dog.

48
00:02:22,080 --> 00:02:26,400
So I woke up at 7 in the morning, tired as shit.

49
00:02:26,400 --> 00:02:31,360
And Sarah's mother is coming next weekend to the house.

50
00:02:31,360 --> 00:02:33,720
So we have to do cleaning, right?

51
00:02:33,720 --> 00:02:38,920
The basement in my house is a storage area and I had all my guns out because I rearranged

52
00:02:38,920 --> 00:02:39,920
my work room.

53
00:02:39,920 --> 00:02:41,240
So all my guns were laying out.

54
00:02:41,240 --> 00:02:47,980
So I decided that I'm going to clean all the guns and re-lubricate them and do whatever

55
00:02:47,980 --> 00:02:51,240
little finicky repairs that I was planning on.

56
00:02:51,240 --> 00:02:55,040
So things like putting on new sites and do little shit like that.

57
00:02:55,040 --> 00:02:59,560
So I did that all day yesterday and I woke up at 7 in the morning this morning.

58
00:02:59,560 --> 00:03:08,240
I did it until 2 o'clock today and the house smells like a mixture of cat shit and petrochemicals.

59
00:03:08,240 --> 00:03:09,240
It's horrible.

60
00:03:09,240 --> 00:03:10,800
That's weird because you don't have cats.

61
00:03:10,800 --> 00:03:11,800
You don't have any cats.

62
00:03:11,800 --> 00:03:14,040
So where's the cat shit smell come from, Mike?

63
00:03:14,040 --> 00:03:16,280
The cat shit smell does not come from cat shit.

64
00:03:16,280 --> 00:03:27,160
It's the mixture of ops number nine and ballastol and dry lube that comes along and oh yeah,

65
00:03:27,160 --> 00:03:28,760
blue loctite, you know?

66
00:03:28,760 --> 00:03:29,760
Is it?

67
00:03:29,760 --> 00:03:31,040
The chemical mixture.

68
00:03:31,040 --> 00:03:35,920
So we already know I'm not good at pronouncing things that I haven't heard said from our

69
00:03:35,920 --> 00:03:38,320
episode with our guest Simha.

70
00:03:38,320 --> 00:03:40,440
But is it hops or is it hoppies?

71
00:03:40,440 --> 00:03:41,440
I think it's hoppies.

72
00:03:41,440 --> 00:03:42,440
Hoppies.

73
00:03:42,440 --> 00:03:43,440
Okay.

74
00:03:43,440 --> 00:03:45,120
I was just asking because I'm like, I don't know.

75
00:03:45,120 --> 00:03:46,120
It could be hops, could be hoppies.

76
00:03:46,120 --> 00:03:47,960
No, I think it's hoppies.

77
00:03:47,960 --> 00:03:50,280
But I use the hoppies as well.

78
00:03:50,280 --> 00:03:51,280
Yes.

79
00:03:51,280 --> 00:03:56,920
I used to use the Rem Oil, but hoppies has a variant of that.

80
00:03:56,920 --> 00:04:00,880
And the guy that I, not the guy that I bought it from, but like I was in the store getting

81
00:04:00,880 --> 00:04:02,160
some more stuff.

82
00:04:02,160 --> 00:04:07,360
One of the other shoppers, patrons of the store, I guess is what you would call them,

83
00:04:07,360 --> 00:04:08,360
customers.

84
00:04:08,360 --> 00:04:12,840
But if you're not, I don't know, some weird guy that calls people patrons, I was like,

85
00:04:12,840 --> 00:04:14,440
why wouldn't you just go for the hoppies?

86
00:04:14,440 --> 00:04:17,080
It's better quality than all the other stuff.

87
00:04:17,080 --> 00:04:18,080
So I'm like, oh, okay.

88
00:04:18,080 --> 00:04:19,080
Fair enough.

89
00:04:19,080 --> 00:04:20,080
Sure.

90
00:04:20,080 --> 00:04:21,080
I have Rem Oil as well.

91
00:04:21,080 --> 00:04:23,560
I use it sometimes on specific things.

92
00:04:23,560 --> 00:04:25,200
And I did use some this weekend.

93
00:04:25,200 --> 00:04:26,640
I have one gun left to clean.

94
00:04:26,640 --> 00:04:30,520
I like to do a little bit of lubricating stuff, the Rem Oil or whatever the hoppies one is

95
00:04:30,520 --> 00:04:34,480
called, the number nine lubricator or something, or number 10 lubricator.

96
00:04:34,480 --> 00:04:35,480
I don't know.

97
00:04:35,480 --> 00:04:36,480
I don't know how they name all these things.

98
00:04:36,480 --> 00:04:40,600
But I like to put that in the trigger guard, the springs and stuff to kind of keep that

99
00:04:40,600 --> 00:04:41,600
moving.

100
00:04:41,600 --> 00:04:42,600
Oh, see.

101
00:04:42,600 --> 00:04:43,600
And I use dry lube for that.

102
00:04:43,600 --> 00:04:50,160
I use dry lube on the trigger and I use dry lube on any sort of action that is an automatic

103
00:04:50,160 --> 00:04:52,000
and I've been using it on my pumps too.

104
00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:53,000
Oh, okay.

105
00:04:53,000 --> 00:04:54,000
Yeah.

106
00:04:54,000 --> 00:04:55,000
Yeah.

107
00:04:55,000 --> 00:04:56,560
Any sort of moving parts I like to use dry lube on.

108
00:04:56,560 --> 00:04:57,560
Okay.

109
00:04:57,560 --> 00:04:59,320
Maybe I'll look into some dry lube.

110
00:04:59,320 --> 00:05:00,320
Yeah.

111
00:05:00,320 --> 00:05:01,320
Yeah.

112
00:05:01,320 --> 00:05:02,320
It works a lot better in the wintertime.

113
00:05:02,320 --> 00:05:03,320
I'll tell you that.

114
00:05:03,320 --> 00:05:04,320
Okay.

115
00:05:04,320 --> 00:05:11,240
I've had guns freeze because I use battle stall, which is thicker and it does get solid

116
00:05:11,240 --> 00:05:12,240
when it's cold.

117
00:05:12,240 --> 00:05:13,240
Okay.

118
00:05:13,240 --> 00:05:19,120
And I'm sure the dry lube is probably better if you're hunting in dusty areas too.

119
00:05:19,120 --> 00:05:20,440
Oh, yeah.

120
00:05:20,440 --> 00:05:21,440
Yeah.

121
00:05:21,440 --> 00:05:22,440
Way better.

122
00:05:22,440 --> 00:05:23,440
Way better.

123
00:05:23,440 --> 00:05:24,760
It's like a clear whitish coating.

124
00:05:24,760 --> 00:05:26,840
You can see that it's on there when it dries.

125
00:05:26,840 --> 00:05:27,840
Okay.

126
00:05:27,840 --> 00:05:30,320
So probably like a bike chain lubricant almost.

127
00:05:30,320 --> 00:05:31,320
Yeah.

128
00:05:31,320 --> 00:05:34,560
I mean, if you buy- Where it's kind of like that graphite powder,

129
00:05:34,560 --> 00:05:35,560
whatever.

130
00:05:35,560 --> 00:05:37,600
Similar to graphite powder, but it's not graphite powder.

131
00:05:37,600 --> 00:05:38,600
But yeah.

132
00:05:38,600 --> 00:05:39,600
Yeah, yeah.

133
00:05:39,600 --> 00:05:40,600
Very similar to graphite powder.

134
00:05:40,600 --> 00:05:41,600
Barry's trying to make an analogy.

135
00:05:41,600 --> 00:05:42,600
Yeah.

136
00:05:42,600 --> 00:05:43,600
Yeah.

137
00:05:43,600 --> 00:05:44,600
Yeah, yeah.

138
00:05:44,600 --> 00:05:49,400
And Remington makes it, but WD-40, I went to the store today to get more because I use

139
00:05:49,400 --> 00:05:54,560
like four ounces of ballastol and my whole can of Remington dry lube because I took a

140
00:05:54,560 --> 00:05:56,480
lot of guns this weekend.

141
00:05:56,480 --> 00:06:03,160
And I looked and WD-40 makes a dry lube that's rated for 500 degrees.

142
00:06:03,160 --> 00:06:04,160
Oh, okay.

143
00:06:04,160 --> 00:06:05,160
And it's good for wood and rubber.

144
00:06:05,160 --> 00:06:09,880
And I was like, well, you know, at half the price, I will try that.

145
00:06:09,880 --> 00:06:10,960
Yup.

146
00:06:10,960 --> 00:06:12,520
I'm guessing it'll be fine.

147
00:06:12,520 --> 00:06:13,520
Probably.

148
00:06:13,520 --> 00:06:15,520
But yeah, I still have one gun left.

149
00:06:15,520 --> 00:06:16,520
Yeah.

150
00:06:16,520 --> 00:06:22,720
I guess that kind of like harkens back to our flex tape or fusing tape conversation last

151
00:06:22,720 --> 00:06:28,120
episode, you know, it was 500 degrees enough for a car exhaust, no, but I don't know like

152
00:06:28,120 --> 00:06:30,560
how hot a gun explosion is.

153
00:06:30,560 --> 00:06:32,960
I know the barrels can get pretty hot.

154
00:06:32,960 --> 00:06:34,480
Well, it's not on the barrel.

155
00:06:34,480 --> 00:06:36,840
It's on the moving parts in the mechanism.

156
00:06:36,840 --> 00:06:37,840
So like the barrel itself.

157
00:06:37,840 --> 00:06:38,840
Yeah.

158
00:06:38,840 --> 00:06:39,840
I mean, I understand that.

159
00:06:39,840 --> 00:06:42,160
I'm just trying to let this to the max temperature.

160
00:06:42,160 --> 00:06:43,160
I don't know.

161
00:06:43,160 --> 00:06:44,160
Yeah.

162
00:06:44,160 --> 00:06:45,160
Right.

163
00:06:45,160 --> 00:06:49,200
I've had been goose hunting where I've seen smoke come off the barrel and it's all the

164
00:06:49,200 --> 00:06:50,640
gun oil burning off.

165
00:06:50,640 --> 00:06:51,640
Okay.

166
00:06:51,640 --> 00:06:53,120
It's burning and shooting and shooting and shooting.

167
00:06:53,120 --> 00:06:54,120
Yeah.

168
00:06:54,120 --> 00:06:55,120
And it's cold outside, obviously.

169
00:06:55,120 --> 00:07:01,040
I guess I try and treat my guns like a cast iron pan or something where you don't want

170
00:07:01,040 --> 00:07:05,680
it to be thickly oiled, but you want it to be just enough oiled.

171
00:07:05,680 --> 00:07:06,680
You know what I mean?

172
00:07:06,680 --> 00:07:07,680
Sure.

173
00:07:07,680 --> 00:07:13,440
I, well, as you know, I have enough to where I want to coat the piss out of them so that

174
00:07:13,440 --> 00:07:18,480
they can sit in the, sit in the safe and not be touched for another like three, four years.

175
00:07:18,480 --> 00:07:19,480
Yeah.

176
00:07:19,480 --> 00:07:20,480
Yeah.

177
00:07:20,480 --> 00:07:22,440
So I have so many shotguns.

178
00:07:22,440 --> 00:07:25,320
I can't possibly fire them all.

179
00:07:25,320 --> 00:07:26,320
Yeah.

180
00:07:26,320 --> 00:07:27,960
They were clean before I cleaned them.

181
00:07:27,960 --> 00:07:28,960
You know what I mean?

182
00:07:28,960 --> 00:07:29,960
One of those kinds of things.

183
00:07:29,960 --> 00:07:30,960
Yeah.

184
00:07:30,960 --> 00:07:32,320
Well, and that's the interesting thing.

185
00:07:32,320 --> 00:07:34,040
And I don't know if we talked about this.

186
00:07:34,040 --> 00:07:35,440
I'm sure we did.

187
00:07:35,440 --> 00:07:36,440
It's tough.

188
00:07:36,440 --> 00:07:38,160
I mean, we're, we're in season two.

189
00:07:38,160 --> 00:07:42,720
This is episode, what, 17 or something, I think.

190
00:07:42,720 --> 00:07:45,960
My notes say season two, episode one, because I'm looking right at it.

191
00:07:45,960 --> 00:07:46,960
Oh, yep.

192
00:07:46,960 --> 00:07:47,960
Nope.

193
00:07:47,960 --> 00:07:48,960
This is episode 17.

194
00:07:48,960 --> 00:07:52,520
I'm not too bad on naming my naming conventions.

195
00:07:52,520 --> 00:07:54,760
But this is 17, episode 17 of season two.

196
00:07:54,760 --> 00:07:58,520
And we had what, over 30 episodes in the first season.

197
00:07:58,520 --> 00:08:01,820
And I know that you and I went and did some shooting together.

198
00:08:01,820 --> 00:08:10,140
We shot a couple of pistols and I had my grandfather's stub-nosed 357 Magnum.

199
00:08:10,140 --> 00:08:16,920
And there was a literal spider web in one of the cylinders on the revolver chamber.

200
00:08:16,920 --> 00:08:21,760
And it was fairly embarrassing, but I was not the last person to shoot it after my grandfather

201
00:08:21,760 --> 00:08:26,200
passed and it found its way to me through all of that stuff.

202
00:08:26,200 --> 00:08:31,240
So I, I did clean it after we shot it, because of course you always want to clean it after

203
00:08:31,240 --> 00:08:32,240
you shoot it.

204
00:08:32,240 --> 00:08:35,640
But it's probably a good, good thing if you don't do a whole lot of shooting like I don't

205
00:08:35,640 --> 00:08:39,000
right now, clean them every once in a while.

206
00:08:39,000 --> 00:08:41,640
And this has nothing to do with what you're talking about.

207
00:08:41,640 --> 00:08:43,160
And I'm not trying to hijack this.

208
00:08:43,160 --> 00:08:44,160
Oh, I don't know.

209
00:08:44,160 --> 00:08:45,160
I did just.

210
00:08:45,160 --> 00:08:46,160
Hijack away.

211
00:08:46,160 --> 00:08:47,160
Okay.

212
00:08:47,160 --> 00:08:51,000
I was going to make a joke about, about that, but I'm going to let that one, let that one

213
00:08:51,000 --> 00:08:52,000
slide.

214
00:08:52,000 --> 00:08:56,600
Anyway, we have a, we have a stereo system out in the garage here and I've got two external

215
00:08:56,600 --> 00:09:00,880
speakers or outdoor speakers outside for our patio area.

216
00:09:00,880 --> 00:09:06,520
And it's the receiver has enough to run two more speaker, two more speakers, right?

217
00:09:06,520 --> 00:09:08,080
So it's got two speaker groups.

218
00:09:08,080 --> 00:09:09,800
You can play one or the other or both.

219
00:09:09,800 --> 00:09:12,080
And so I'm going to put two more speakers in the garage.

220
00:09:12,080 --> 00:09:17,920
I got these speakers from my mom's husband and didn't do anything other than set them

221
00:09:17,920 --> 00:09:18,920
up.

222
00:09:18,920 --> 00:09:22,920
And so it's been like the volume knob has been, you know, when you have like those old

223
00:09:22,920 --> 00:09:26,440
like analog knobs and everything and you're trying to get the volume and you, you go to

224
00:09:26,440 --> 00:09:29,400
like this one volume and only one speaker works.

225
00:09:29,400 --> 00:09:31,800
And then you like go a little further and then both speakers work.

226
00:09:31,800 --> 00:09:35,160
And then you go a little too far and only one speaker works again.

227
00:09:35,160 --> 00:09:37,360
And that's all cause like the dust and the dirt and the grime in there.

228
00:09:37,360 --> 00:09:41,040
And so I have this like, it's like a, you don't have to wipe.

229
00:09:41,040 --> 00:09:43,080
It's electronic cleaner spray.

230
00:09:43,080 --> 00:09:49,340
And so I just, just recently took those, both the receiver and the tuner down and opened

231
00:09:49,340 --> 00:09:54,000
them up and just sprayed the ever loving shit out of them with this cleaner, let them dry

232
00:09:54,000 --> 00:09:57,760
for a day, put them back up and they're working great.

233
00:09:57,760 --> 00:10:01,080
So I mean, cleaning anything is good.

234
00:10:01,080 --> 00:10:03,200
I mean, it's maintaining what you have, right?

235
00:10:03,200 --> 00:10:04,200
Right.

236
00:10:04,200 --> 00:10:05,200
Absolutely.

237
00:10:05,200 --> 00:10:08,900
I was also a very naughty boy and I didn't clean any of my guns after last hunting season.

238
00:10:08,900 --> 00:10:12,120
So some of them were pretty dirty.

239
00:10:12,120 --> 00:10:13,120
Yeah.

240
00:10:13,120 --> 00:10:14,120
Yeah.

241
00:10:14,120 --> 00:10:15,120
That's why I still have one shotgun left.

242
00:10:15,120 --> 00:10:16,720
It's that one's okay.

243
00:10:16,720 --> 00:10:17,720
Dirty.

244
00:10:17,720 --> 00:10:18,720
Yeah.

245
00:10:18,720 --> 00:10:23,520
I always got to remember to go down and check my, uh, I bought one of those dehumidifier

246
00:10:23,520 --> 00:10:29,080
things that you plug into recharge and it's been working fantastic, but I need to remind

247
00:10:29,080 --> 00:10:31,720
myself to go and check it every once in a while.

248
00:10:31,720 --> 00:10:36,480
It's not so big or so important over the winter time when everything's just dry.

249
00:10:36,480 --> 00:10:40,640
But now that we're getting into spring and summer, it'll be more important to check.

250
00:10:40,640 --> 00:10:41,640
Yeah.

251
00:10:41,640 --> 00:10:46,040
I need, I have the little bake in the oven things and, uh, yeah, those are pain in the

252
00:10:46,040 --> 00:10:47,040
ass.

253
00:10:47,040 --> 00:10:48,040
They are pain.

254
00:10:48,040 --> 00:10:49,040
13 bucks.

255
00:10:49,040 --> 00:10:51,200
You can get one that plugs in so much nicer.

256
00:10:51,200 --> 00:10:53,280
I thought about doing it.

257
00:10:53,280 --> 00:10:56,320
I also coat my guns and ballast all I did.

258
00:10:56,320 --> 00:11:00,880
I had to remount a scope and I had all kinds of gun related shit.

259
00:11:00,880 --> 00:11:04,480
And like I say, my, uh, I still have one left.

260
00:11:04,480 --> 00:11:05,960
That's probably the dirtiest one.

261
00:11:05,960 --> 00:11:07,600
I did the dirtiest one for last.

262
00:11:07,600 --> 00:11:12,240
My nephew used one of mine for the season and I know that he had to have dropped it

263
00:11:12,240 --> 00:11:15,760
because he's, he's a clumsy, you know what I mean?

264
00:11:15,760 --> 00:11:16,760
Okay.

265
00:11:16,760 --> 00:11:18,200
So I'm guessing that he dropped it.

266
00:11:18,200 --> 00:11:20,080
Do you want to hear a funny hunting story?

267
00:11:20,080 --> 00:11:21,080
Sure.

268
00:11:21,080 --> 00:11:22,080
Okay.

269
00:11:22,080 --> 00:11:27,540
So I'm not saying this was my cousin, but, uh, one year my dad and I and my brothers,

270
00:11:27,540 --> 00:11:30,340
we all went out hunting and my cousin was there or maybe not.

271
00:11:30,340 --> 00:11:31,340
He wasn't, I don't know.

272
00:11:31,340 --> 00:11:32,680
No, it was him.

273
00:11:32,680 --> 00:11:38,240
Anyway, they, uh, they're more city people, so like he was born in Canada and, uh, my

274
00:11:38,240 --> 00:11:43,400
uncle, uh, was a percussionist for the Vancouver Symphony Orchestra for a very long time.

275
00:11:43,400 --> 00:11:48,520
And so they always lived either out in Vancouver or, you know, Washington or what have you.

276
00:11:48,520 --> 00:11:55,920
So kind of like city people and, um, my uncle and his wife who passed were very socially

277
00:11:55,920 --> 00:12:00,120
oriented, meaning wine parties and things.

278
00:12:00,120 --> 00:12:03,440
My cousin wasn't so much an outdoorsy type, which is fine.

279
00:12:03,440 --> 00:12:04,440
You don't have to be.

280
00:12:04,440 --> 00:12:05,440
And he wanted to go hunting.

281
00:12:05,440 --> 00:12:10,400
And so my, my dad, uh, loaned him one of his hunting rifles and said, here you go.

282
00:12:10,400 --> 00:12:11,400
It's all sighted in.

283
00:12:11,400 --> 00:12:15,280
You just, you know, you put the scope on the, on the shoulder right here or wherever, you

284
00:12:15,280 --> 00:12:18,560
know, like just behind the shoulder blade and you're good to go.

285
00:12:18,560 --> 00:12:23,480
And uh, you know, end of the, end of the season, whatever we, you know, wiped the guns down

286
00:12:23,480 --> 00:12:27,280
and if they weren't shot, he didn't shoot anything, uh, at all.

287
00:12:27,280 --> 00:12:31,840
And, uh, and then the next, the next, uh, summer, you know, like end of the summer,

288
00:12:31,840 --> 00:12:35,360
we would typically bring our rifles out or shotguns out or whatever, and we'd cite them

289
00:12:35,360 --> 00:12:36,800
in, you know, just shoot them and check.

290
00:12:36,800 --> 00:12:38,800
And he's like, ah, you know, I might as well shoot this one.

291
00:12:38,800 --> 00:12:42,960
And he shot it and he wasn't hitting paper at like 50 feet or 50 yards.

292
00:12:42,960 --> 00:12:43,960
Sorry.

293
00:12:43,960 --> 00:12:44,960
Uh, he wasn't hitting paper.

294
00:12:44,960 --> 00:12:48,780
And, uh, and so it took him forever to have resite this thing back in.

295
00:12:48,780 --> 00:12:53,280
And what we figured out happened was, uh, on a scope, they've got a screw on the top,

296
00:12:53,280 --> 00:12:55,280
like a screw cap on top and a screw cap on side.

297
00:12:55,280 --> 00:12:59,600
And it controls the vertical and horizontal, uh, aiming, uh, crosshairs, right?

298
00:12:59,600 --> 00:13:00,860
The axes.

299
00:13:00,860 --> 00:13:05,280
And what we figured is he got bored on stand because, and everybody deer hunts a little

300
00:13:05,280 --> 00:13:06,280
differently.

301
00:13:06,280 --> 00:13:08,320
And we are the type that hunt on public lands.

302
00:13:08,320 --> 00:13:10,620
So we bring out like a tree seat.

303
00:13:10,620 --> 00:13:14,440
So it's a seat with a rope and you cinch it onto the tree and you just sit there and you

304
00:13:14,440 --> 00:13:15,520
sit there all day.

305
00:13:15,520 --> 00:13:19,360
And then you come back in and you go to bed and then you go back out and haul your seat

306
00:13:19,360 --> 00:13:22,600
in and out because you can't leave up a permanent structure on public land.

307
00:13:22,600 --> 00:13:25,760
And so, you know, you just, you sit on a tree like all day.

308
00:13:25,760 --> 00:13:30,080
So it's, it can be painfully boring if you don't have like enough red squirrels or something

309
00:13:30,080 --> 00:13:31,160
to entertain you.

310
00:13:31,160 --> 00:13:35,280
What we figured happened was he was sitting there and bored out of his mind.

311
00:13:35,280 --> 00:13:36,860
He's like bored out of his mind.

312
00:13:36,860 --> 00:13:40,160
And so he like unscrews these things and he sees these little dials in there and he's

313
00:13:40,160 --> 00:13:43,560
just like clicking around with them because they click, you know, like click, click, click.

314
00:13:43,560 --> 00:13:45,120
And then he would do the other one and click, click.

315
00:13:45,120 --> 00:13:48,160
And so like, even if a deer would have come out, there's no way he ever would have hit

316
00:13:48,160 --> 00:13:52,480
it because he like fucked up his scope by not knowing, you know?

317
00:13:52,480 --> 00:13:57,880
And it's like, and somebody who is like wood savvy or outdoor savvy or gun savvy wouldn't

318
00:13:57,880 --> 00:14:02,920
necessarily think to have to tell somebody, now look, don't unscrew this and play with

319
00:14:02,920 --> 00:14:05,520
all the buttons in here or the dials in here.

320
00:14:05,520 --> 00:14:08,360
Like that's just not something like I would have to tell to you or you would have to say

321
00:14:08,360 --> 00:14:09,360
to me, right?

322
00:14:09,360 --> 00:14:10,360
No, no, no, never.

323
00:14:10,360 --> 00:14:12,640
And so it's like, you're just fidgeting.

324
00:14:12,640 --> 00:14:16,760
You're out there fidgeting, but you're fidgeting with your sights, your scope.

325
00:14:16,760 --> 00:14:19,320
Oh my God.

326
00:14:19,320 --> 00:14:22,040
Oh, that's, that's painful.

327
00:14:22,040 --> 00:14:24,720
I mean, there was no damage done.

328
00:14:24,720 --> 00:14:28,040
It was just, it took longer for my dad to site it back in, but it took, it took us a

329
00:14:28,040 --> 00:14:31,760
while to figure out what happened because he's like, I don't think I dropped it.

330
00:14:31,760 --> 00:14:33,360
Like I'm, it's way off.

331
00:14:33,360 --> 00:14:35,040
Like it's not even close.

332
00:14:35,040 --> 00:14:37,400
So that's hilarious.

333
00:14:37,400 --> 00:14:38,400
That is yeah.

334
00:14:38,400 --> 00:14:39,400
Special.

335
00:14:39,400 --> 00:14:40,400
Yeah.

336
00:14:40,400 --> 00:14:42,480
Anyway, earlier today, so I'm now I'm cleaning guns, right?

337
00:14:42,480 --> 00:14:43,480
And it smells horrible.

338
00:14:43,480 --> 00:14:44,480
Yeah.

339
00:14:44,480 --> 00:14:45,480
Just terrible.

340
00:14:45,480 --> 00:14:51,080
Um, because Hoppies nine is, it's got a very pungent pungent smell.

341
00:14:51,080 --> 00:14:52,440
Awful.

342
00:14:52,440 --> 00:14:55,200
And a ballast all smells like Yagmeister.

343
00:14:55,200 --> 00:14:57,840
Uh, it's very strong.

344
00:14:57,840 --> 00:14:58,840
Anise smell.

345
00:14:58,840 --> 00:15:02,000
Some people do like the, uh, the Hoppies smell though.

346
00:15:02,000 --> 00:15:06,080
It's the same people that love the smell of gasoline when you're pumping it.

347
00:15:06,080 --> 00:15:07,080
Yeah.

348
00:15:07,080 --> 00:15:08,080
Yeah.

349
00:15:08,080 --> 00:15:09,080
It's not a pleasant smell.

350
00:15:09,080 --> 00:15:10,080
It's fucking horrible.

351
00:15:10,080 --> 00:15:11,080
Um, yeah, I don't like it.

352
00:15:11,080 --> 00:15:14,480
There's people that like to smell a ballast all too, and I don't get it.

353
00:15:14,480 --> 00:15:16,520
And it smells rubbish.

354
00:15:16,520 --> 00:15:20,880
And then of course I'm dry lubing all these mechanisms and the dry lube has a chemical

355
00:15:20,880 --> 00:15:26,760
smell, you know, and turmoil is a different, so it's all these chemical smells.

356
00:15:26,760 --> 00:15:27,760
The guy who, uh,

357
00:15:27,760 --> 00:15:30,160
Well, it doesn't have a too bad of a smell though.

358
00:15:30,160 --> 00:15:31,160
I don't think.

359
00:15:31,160 --> 00:15:36,520
No, it's not terrible, but it's you, you blended in mixed with two or three other things.

360
00:15:36,520 --> 00:15:37,520
Yeah.

361
00:15:37,520 --> 00:15:38,520
Yeah.

362
00:15:38,520 --> 00:15:42,960
And, uh, so the guy who farms my field stopped by to see, you know, what the deal was and

363
00:15:42,960 --> 00:15:43,960
blah, blah, blah.

364
00:15:43,960 --> 00:15:45,520
We made ourselves a little arrangement.

365
00:15:45,520 --> 00:15:47,320
What the smell was.

366
00:15:47,320 --> 00:15:48,320
Yeah.

367
00:15:48,320 --> 00:15:53,040
And, uh, he, he like opened the door and he's like, Oh my God, am I interrupting something?

368
00:15:53,040 --> 00:15:54,040
Yeah.

369
00:15:54,040 --> 00:15:57,520
The wife's tied up downstairs.

370
00:15:57,520 --> 00:15:58,520
Yeah.

371
00:15:58,520 --> 00:16:02,920
Oh, it smelled, I'm sure walking in, it had to have smelled like death.

372
00:16:02,920 --> 00:16:03,920
It's awful.

373
00:16:03,920 --> 00:16:09,720
And I had a part, uh, part of a gas mechanism on a shotgun that I was cleaning in my hand

374
00:16:09,720 --> 00:16:10,720
talking to him.

375
00:16:10,720 --> 00:16:16,920
Cause of course I took apart the gas mechanism and cleaned all the rods and all that shit.

376
00:16:16,920 --> 00:16:22,840
But yeah, had to have, had to have been awful.

377
00:16:22,840 --> 00:16:28,000
So we went to a Nicole shoe shop on Friday and that's always fun.

378
00:16:28,000 --> 00:16:29,000
Okay.

379
00:16:29,000 --> 00:16:30,840
I like going to Nicole's.

380
00:16:30,840 --> 00:16:32,520
It's always a joy.

381
00:16:32,520 --> 00:16:37,240
I didn't get anything, but Sarah, Sarah got some stuff and then I used a gift card to

382
00:16:37,240 --> 00:16:39,200
buy Sarah's mother a present.

383
00:16:39,200 --> 00:16:41,200
So, okay, there we go.

384
00:16:41,200 --> 00:16:45,720
I can't believe you're down in my neck of the woods and he didn't think to yourself,

385
00:16:45,720 --> 00:16:48,440
why shoot, he'd probably like a drink or something.

386
00:16:48,440 --> 00:16:50,560
Oh, uh, Sarah and I talked about it.

387
00:16:50,560 --> 00:16:53,480
We thought that you guys were going to be here last weekend, sir.

388
00:16:53,480 --> 00:17:00,480
Oh, we would have been, but, uh, the reason is, is my sir has taken a stained glass class

389
00:17:00,480 --> 00:17:04,580
up until, up until our son is born basically.

390
00:17:04,580 --> 00:17:07,840
So every Saturday we're, we're going to be down here.

391
00:17:07,840 --> 00:17:08,840
Yes.

392
00:17:08,840 --> 00:17:12,560
No, we, uh, we talked about it and it was like, ah, such short notice now.

393
00:17:12,560 --> 00:17:15,880
Um, we kind of both forgot that we were going to go to this show.

394
00:17:15,880 --> 00:17:16,880
Oh, okay.

395
00:17:16,880 --> 00:17:17,880
Yeah.

396
00:17:17,880 --> 00:17:18,880
Yeah.

397
00:17:18,880 --> 00:17:21,840
And the show was from, uh, seven until like 10 30 at night.

398
00:17:21,840 --> 00:17:24,140
We went to the, a pretty fancy restaurant too.

399
00:17:24,140 --> 00:17:27,120
So that cost me 150 swanky.

400
00:17:27,120 --> 00:17:28,120
Jesus.

401
00:17:28,120 --> 00:17:32,880
So it was expensive weekend, but it was a lot of fun.

402
00:17:32,880 --> 00:17:33,880
And Jimmy door was good.

403
00:17:33,880 --> 00:17:36,400
Sarah hated it, but that's to be expected.

404
00:17:36,400 --> 00:17:37,400
Yup.

405
00:17:37,400 --> 00:17:38,400
It's not good.

406
00:17:38,400 --> 00:17:41,980
I mean, it's nice to go out and you know, even though it's like, oh, how expensive was

407
00:17:41,980 --> 00:17:42,980
this night?

408
00:17:42,980 --> 00:17:45,960
Uh, it's still good to go and have a date night or something every once in a while.

409
00:17:45,960 --> 00:17:46,960
Oh, right.

410
00:17:46,960 --> 00:17:51,760
I mean, between, uh, you know, the store and the dinner and the tickets and the gas, that

411
00:17:51,760 --> 00:17:53,960
was easily a $400 a day.

412
00:17:53,960 --> 00:17:54,960
Yup.

413
00:17:54,960 --> 00:17:57,760
But what are you going to do every once in a while?

414
00:17:57,760 --> 00:17:59,480
You know, yeah, you gotta have fun.

415
00:17:59,480 --> 00:18:03,040
I mean, you know, you can work and work and work and then die or you can work and work

416
00:18:03,040 --> 00:18:04,920
and work and have some fun and then die.

417
00:18:04,920 --> 00:18:05,920
So right.

418
00:18:05,920 --> 00:18:06,920
Exactly.

419
00:18:06,920 --> 00:18:08,920
I had a corporate America.

420
00:18:08,920 --> 00:18:09,920
Pills.

421
00:18:09,920 --> 00:18:10,920
Pills is great.

422
00:18:10,920 --> 00:18:11,920
Yeah.

423
00:18:11,920 --> 00:18:13,200
And it was really good too.

424
00:18:13,200 --> 00:18:14,760
So, uh, this is funny.

425
00:18:14,760 --> 00:18:20,400
We had, we had three days of 80 degree weather down here and, uh, one of those days, uh,

426
00:18:20,400 --> 00:18:25,640
Dev and his son and I took a bike ride and we, uh, we rode to Oudepil's cause it's only

427
00:18:25,640 --> 00:18:28,800
like, I don't know, five and a half miles from our house.

428
00:18:28,800 --> 00:18:29,800
Oh, okay.

429
00:18:29,800 --> 00:18:33,920
I'm not going to tell you what direction you'll never find us, um, by a bike trail.

430
00:18:33,920 --> 00:18:37,200
It's not that far, but we, it was our first bike ride of the season.

431
00:18:37,200 --> 00:18:42,560
So going on like a 12 mile bike ride almost killed us, but, uh, we rode, we bike road

432
00:18:42,560 --> 00:18:45,440
down there and had a beer too, and then came back up.

433
00:18:45,440 --> 00:18:48,680
So it was, uh, it was fun times, but yeah, they've got a lot of good beers.

434
00:18:48,680 --> 00:18:49,680
Yeah.

435
00:18:49,680 --> 00:18:50,680
I was really impressed.

436
00:18:50,680 --> 00:18:53,200
And fuck you by the way, there's still snow on the ground here.

437
00:18:53,200 --> 00:18:54,200
It's awful.

438
00:18:54,200 --> 00:18:55,200
Yeah.

439
00:18:55,200 --> 00:18:56,200
I heard you guys got quite a bit.

440
00:18:56,200 --> 00:18:57,200
We did.

441
00:18:57,200 --> 00:18:58,200
We did.

442
00:18:58,200 --> 00:19:02,760
Wherever you may be still a shit ton of snow wherever I am in Northern Minnesota.

443
00:19:02,760 --> 00:19:03,760
Yes.

444
00:19:03,760 --> 00:19:10,160
We have no snow here, but it's been, it's been like, you know, thirties and low forties

445
00:19:10,160 --> 00:19:11,640
after the three days of 80.

446
00:19:11,640 --> 00:19:15,760
And it's like, well, I would have much rather fifties and sixties after the three days of

447
00:19:15,760 --> 00:19:19,120
80, but at least I guess there's no snow.

448
00:19:19,120 --> 00:19:22,320
So yeah, can't complain too much.

449
00:19:22,320 --> 00:19:28,360
I went out to the garage, uh, maybe 10 o'clock, the frozen solid, everything was freezing

450
00:19:28,360 --> 00:19:29,360
cold.

451
00:19:29,360 --> 00:19:30,360
I couldn't believe it.

452
00:19:30,360 --> 00:19:31,360
Yeah.

453
00:19:31,360 --> 00:19:34,760
I was like, I'm going to freeze something like that according to the car, you know,

454
00:19:34,760 --> 00:19:35,760
whatever that's worth.

455
00:19:35,760 --> 00:19:36,960
And the car never lies.

456
00:19:36,960 --> 00:19:39,040
No, never, never.

457
00:19:39,040 --> 00:19:40,040
So here's the kicker.

458
00:19:40,040 --> 00:19:41,040
Yes.

459
00:19:41,040 --> 00:19:42,040
My weekend.

460
00:19:42,040 --> 00:19:43,040
I was waiting.

461
00:19:43,040 --> 00:19:44,040
I've been waiting for it.

462
00:19:44,040 --> 00:19:46,840
This horrible chemical smell and cleaning guns and taking care of the things I probably

463
00:19:46,840 --> 00:19:48,640
should have taken care of once ago.

464
00:19:48,640 --> 00:19:53,320
Uh, putting parts on guns that I bought over a year ago.

465
00:19:53,320 --> 00:19:54,320
Straight piping guns.

466
00:19:54,320 --> 00:19:55,760
Yeah, straight piping guns.

467
00:19:55,760 --> 00:19:59,720
I put a couple of new sites on, you know, some guns and blah, blah, blah.

468
00:19:59,720 --> 00:20:05,480
I checked out why am I, I have a model 19 or 1894 that's misfiring.

469
00:20:05,480 --> 00:20:08,680
So I took a look at that and you know, blah, blah, blah, all these things.

470
00:20:08,680 --> 00:20:17,200
But Sarah decides she's going to put together a fireplace entertainment center that we found

471
00:20:17,200 --> 00:20:18,960
in the back of the barn.

472
00:20:18,960 --> 00:20:21,280
I don't even know what that means.

473
00:20:21,280 --> 00:20:24,280
We found these boxes at the back of our barn.

474
00:20:24,280 --> 00:20:27,640
And no, I know what the back of the barn is.

475
00:20:27,640 --> 00:20:29,640
What's a fireplace entertainment center?

476
00:20:29,640 --> 00:20:34,320
It's like an entertainment center, like the little wooden thing that you put your TV on

477
00:20:34,320 --> 00:20:36,480
and it's got an electric fireplace in it.

478
00:20:36,480 --> 00:20:41,840
And my parents bought this monstrosity and never opened it up and never put it together.

479
00:20:41,840 --> 00:20:44,240
And they shoved it into the back of the barn and I found it.

480
00:20:44,240 --> 00:20:48,960
So I brought it up to the house, which was a trudge, you know, that was horrible.

481
00:20:48,960 --> 00:20:49,960
Yeah.

482
00:20:49,960 --> 00:20:50,960
So she brings it downstairs.

483
00:20:50,960 --> 00:20:56,600
She just rip and open the boxes and somebody had put it together partially and ripped it

484
00:20:56,600 --> 00:20:57,600
apart.

485
00:20:57,600 --> 00:20:59,760
And she damaged it beyond repair.

486
00:20:59,760 --> 00:21:00,760
Okay.

487
00:21:00,760 --> 00:21:01,760
She tried to put it together.

488
00:21:01,760 --> 00:21:05,000
So we got missing parts and there's holes in it and all this shit.

489
00:21:05,000 --> 00:21:10,400
So I had to run to town yesterday and today to get parts for this entertainment center

490
00:21:10,400 --> 00:21:13,000
that is Sarah's project.

491
00:21:13,000 --> 00:21:14,000
Should we?

492
00:21:14,000 --> 00:21:18,000
I think we should call it the fire attainment center.

493
00:21:18,000 --> 00:21:20,280
The fire attainment center.

494
00:21:20,280 --> 00:21:24,200
So today I wake up at seven in the morning, bright and early.

495
00:21:24,200 --> 00:21:25,240
Sarah sleeps in.

496
00:21:25,240 --> 00:21:28,520
She doesn't get down there till 10, maybe 11.

497
00:21:28,520 --> 00:21:36,560
She was so angry about her project that she got mad at me because I wasn't in a bad mood.

498
00:21:36,560 --> 00:21:45,800
She literally got angry at me because I wasn't angry about her project going poorly.

499
00:21:45,800 --> 00:21:47,680
You want to hear something funny?

500
00:21:47,680 --> 00:21:53,040
I mean, and I don't want to rehash the last episode because we already did the last episode

501
00:21:53,040 --> 00:21:57,000
so you can go back and listen to it, but everybody I've told about my catalytic converter being

502
00:21:57,000 --> 00:22:00,440
stolen has been a lot more angry about the whole thing than I have been.

503
00:22:00,440 --> 00:22:01,440
Really?

504
00:22:01,440 --> 00:22:02,440
Yeah.

505
00:22:02,440 --> 00:22:03,880
I mean, I'm not thrilled.

506
00:22:03,880 --> 00:22:07,520
I'm not thrilled about the whole thing, but like a lot of people have been like, I'm so

507
00:22:07,520 --> 00:22:09,080
angry that that happened.

508
00:22:09,080 --> 00:22:11,080
And I'm like, okay.

509
00:22:11,080 --> 00:22:16,040
You know, I guess it's kind of like, you know, I can't change what happened and my catalytic

510
00:22:16,040 --> 00:22:17,600
converter was bad anyway.

511
00:22:17,600 --> 00:22:21,120
And it kind of runs better now than it did beforehand.

512
00:22:21,120 --> 00:22:26,440
And yeah, it sucked to have to like fix it and be without a car for a couple of days

513
00:22:26,440 --> 00:22:29,560
while I was waiting to fix it and get it fixed.

514
00:22:29,560 --> 00:22:32,840
And you know, but like I couldn't, you know, like it happened.

515
00:22:32,840 --> 00:22:33,840
It's done.

516
00:22:33,840 --> 00:22:38,360
I can't, you know, I could, I suppose I could choose to be angry about it, but yeah, I don't

517
00:22:38,360 --> 00:22:39,360
know.

518
00:22:39,360 --> 00:22:40,360
Maybe I'm too, too lax about it.

519
00:22:40,360 --> 00:22:43,400
You've been stealing catalytic converters from your neighborhood for a while.

520
00:22:43,400 --> 00:22:50,120
Yeah, since I think it was on this like real late, real late on the seventh day.

521
00:22:50,120 --> 00:22:51,920
That invented the catalytic converter.

522
00:22:51,920 --> 00:22:56,480
And then right after that, he invented meth.

523
00:22:56,480 --> 00:22:59,200
And that's a that's correlation.

524
00:22:59,200 --> 00:23:00,200
It's not causation.

525
00:23:00,200 --> 00:23:04,320
So I don't know.

526
00:23:04,320 --> 00:23:05,320
So interesting.

527
00:23:05,320 --> 00:23:06,320
Yeah.

528
00:23:06,320 --> 00:23:09,000
Home projects are always fun.

529
00:23:09,000 --> 00:23:10,000
Fun times.

530
00:23:10,000 --> 00:23:11,000
Oh yeah.

531
00:23:11,000 --> 00:23:12,000
I thought it was hilarious.

532
00:23:12,000 --> 00:23:14,880
Like I said, I even called her out on it later when she calmed down.

533
00:23:14,880 --> 00:23:16,960
I was like, you were angry at me.

534
00:23:16,960 --> 00:23:17,960
Wise man.

535
00:23:17,960 --> 00:23:18,960
Angry.

536
00:23:18,960 --> 00:23:21,320
I waited for her to be in a good mood.

537
00:23:21,320 --> 00:23:26,040
I just bought her new work clothes and new hiking shoes and a lot of stuff.

538
00:23:26,040 --> 00:23:30,040
We found a lot of stuff at one of the local retailers that was a very good price.

539
00:23:30,040 --> 00:23:31,480
I couldn't say no.

540
00:23:31,480 --> 00:23:35,680
And you know, going to get in dry lube and Sarah finds herself new hiking shoes and car

541
00:23:35,680 --> 00:23:36,680
hearts.

542
00:23:36,680 --> 00:23:39,440
But yeah, as women do.

543
00:23:39,440 --> 00:23:45,520
But I was like, you were so mad that you were mad at me because I wasn't mad.

544
00:23:45,520 --> 00:23:46,520
Yeah.

545
00:23:46,520 --> 00:23:47,520
Oh, dumb.

546
00:23:47,520 --> 00:23:48,520
Yeah.

547
00:23:48,520 --> 00:23:55,400
Well, I mean, it's kind of a, this isn't against your Sarah at all because she's a

548
00:23:55,400 --> 00:23:57,840
sweetheart and everything.

549
00:23:57,840 --> 00:24:04,480
But it is interesting that a lot of our discourse in our country has to do with one side versus

550
00:24:04,480 --> 00:24:10,000
the other side for no other reason than the perceived difference between the two sides,

551
00:24:10,000 --> 00:24:12,480
which usually isn't that vast.

552
00:24:12,480 --> 00:24:18,200
And a lot of times it's also the perceived indifference of certain people where it's

553
00:24:18,200 --> 00:24:22,440
like, well, you're not upset about your carbon footprint or you're not upset about a Brittany

554
00:24:22,440 --> 00:24:28,160
Greiner not being released from a Russian prison and you're not upset about whatever.

555
00:24:28,160 --> 00:24:31,920
And it's like, well, I guess I'd be upset all the time if I chose to be upset about

556
00:24:31,920 --> 00:24:34,920
every little thing that came along.

557
00:24:34,920 --> 00:24:40,240
And you know, I think we do a fairly decent job not to break our arms patting ourselves

558
00:24:40,240 --> 00:24:46,080
on the back here, but I think we do a fairly decent job of kind of like on the show anyway,

559
00:24:46,080 --> 00:24:51,440
like not being upset about everything because I don't want to be a bitch cast or, you know,

560
00:24:51,440 --> 00:24:55,440
like a bitching podcast or a complaining podcast or upset podcast.

561
00:24:55,440 --> 00:24:58,680
And I don't think we have been.

562
00:24:58,680 --> 00:25:02,960
If you think we have been and you want to complain about it, that's your, that's your

563
00:25:02,960 --> 00:25:03,960
thing.

564
00:25:03,960 --> 00:25:04,960
We won't read it.

565
00:25:04,960 --> 00:25:05,960
We won't see it.

566
00:25:05,960 --> 00:25:06,960
So best of luck.

567
00:25:06,960 --> 00:25:07,960
I guess.

568
00:25:07,960 --> 00:25:10,600
Yeah, it's, it's all hunky dory.

569
00:25:10,600 --> 00:25:12,400
It's all hunky dory.

570
00:25:12,400 --> 00:25:19,080
So like Mike has said time and time again, all we want to do is smoke and drink and chat.

571
00:25:19,080 --> 00:25:20,560
So right.

572
00:25:20,560 --> 00:25:22,760
That's the, that's the whole point.

573
00:25:22,760 --> 00:25:26,800
So if we don't get any listeners, that's perfectly fine with me.

574
00:25:26,800 --> 00:25:28,440
I still want the super yacht.

575
00:25:28,440 --> 00:25:33,920
You promise me Mike that we can cruise around on and podcasts from and smoke cigars from

576
00:25:33,920 --> 00:25:35,880
and I want to know that stuff.

577
00:25:35,880 --> 00:25:36,880
Green super yacht.

578
00:25:36,880 --> 00:25:38,340
That's what I really want.

579
00:25:38,340 --> 00:25:42,520
So you want the, the, you want the yacht with the 200 oarsman.

580
00:25:42,520 --> 00:25:43,520
Yes.

581
00:25:43,520 --> 00:25:44,520
Yes.

582
00:25:44,520 --> 00:25:48,520
Working for a fair wage, of course, and benefits and 401k and oh yeah.

583
00:25:48,520 --> 00:25:50,880
Well, oh, uh, health care.

584
00:25:50,880 --> 00:25:51,880
They got great health care.

585
00:25:51,880 --> 00:25:52,880
Good Deadpool.

586
00:25:52,880 --> 00:25:53,880
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

587
00:25:53,880 --> 00:25:56,880
You want to States rights yacht.

588
00:25:56,880 --> 00:26:05,240
Oh, that's a great euphemism.

589
00:26:05,240 --> 00:26:08,560
I love that.

590
00:26:08,560 --> 00:26:12,040
Oh man.

591
00:26:12,040 --> 00:26:15,040
That's perfect.

592
00:26:15,040 --> 00:26:16,480
Brought to you by Amazon.

593
00:26:16,480 --> 00:26:17,480
Yes.

594
00:26:17,480 --> 00:26:19,480
By Jeff Bezos personally.

595
00:26:19,480 --> 00:26:20,480
Yes.

596
00:26:20,480 --> 00:26:21,480
Oh geez.

597
00:26:21,480 --> 00:26:25,920
Not, not a sponsor, not a sponsor.

598
00:26:25,920 --> 00:26:27,840
Did you finish the Mandalorian?

599
00:26:27,840 --> 00:26:28,840
Yes.

600
00:26:28,840 --> 00:26:29,840
Okay.

601
00:26:29,840 --> 00:26:30,840
We should talk about it real quick.

602
00:26:30,840 --> 00:26:31,840
Let's do it.

603
00:26:31,840 --> 00:26:33,480
I mean, I've got episode about it.

604
00:26:33,480 --> 00:26:34,480
No, I don't.

605
00:26:34,480 --> 00:26:38,720
I mean, we've done so many of star wars episodes this season that anyone who's a listener

606
00:26:38,720 --> 00:26:41,880
that's a source fan is going to be like, what, you're not going to do a full episode on the

607
00:26:41,880 --> 00:26:42,960
Mandalorian.

608
00:26:42,960 --> 00:26:45,720
And anybody who's not a source fan is going to be like, thank God they're not doing a

609
00:26:45,720 --> 00:26:47,320
full episode on the Mandalorian.

610
00:26:47,320 --> 00:26:48,320
So exactly.

611
00:26:48,320 --> 00:26:51,520
We're kind of, we're kind of cutting, cutting down the middle here.

612
00:26:51,520 --> 00:26:52,520
Yes.

613
00:26:52,520 --> 00:26:53,520
Uh, we finished it.

614
00:26:53,520 --> 00:26:56,400
Uh, I thought it was a good final episode.

615
00:26:56,400 --> 00:27:02,720
I'm not sure whether or not the season was as strong as the second season.

616
00:27:02,720 --> 00:27:03,760
See that's what I thought.

617
00:27:03,760 --> 00:27:10,040
The first two seasons were very strong, but the first two seasons were united by an overwhelming

618
00:27:10,040 --> 00:27:15,920
driving force, a driving plot point where, uh, didn't wanted or needed to, or wanted

619
00:27:15,920 --> 00:27:22,120
to get Grogu to his own people, whether that be, you know, the Yoda, whatever species it

620
00:27:22,120 --> 00:27:27,320
is, uh, people or the Jedi people or what have you, somebody where he belonged.

621
00:27:27,320 --> 00:27:28,720
And that was kind of the driving factor.

622
00:27:28,720 --> 00:27:33,680
And yes, he took on different jobs throughout, uh, until he kind of got to the point where

623
00:27:33,680 --> 00:27:37,600
he was like, Nope, my sole mission now is to get Grogu to his people.

624
00:27:37,600 --> 00:27:41,880
Uh, but for a while it was, I've got this little like frog creature thing and I will

625
00:27:41,880 --> 00:27:44,400
be bringing him along in my bounty missions.

626
00:27:44,400 --> 00:27:49,740
And then like season three, there's not really, there really is kind of felt more like he's

627
00:27:49,740 --> 00:27:51,880
been kind of drifting in the wind.

628
00:27:51,880 --> 00:27:56,880
And I don't think, I don't know if it's, if it's the writing or if it's just that he's

629
00:27:56,880 --> 00:28:00,640
not as purposefully focused as he was in the first two seasons.

630
00:28:00,640 --> 00:28:02,640
Uh, it just felt a little uneven.

631
00:28:02,640 --> 00:28:08,760
Um, I thought it was uneven and I thought they wasted a lot of time with these side

632
00:28:08,760 --> 00:28:16,520
projects like, uh, the doctor and the lady off of Moff Gideon's ship never paid off really.

633
00:28:16,520 --> 00:28:19,920
I didn't pay off, didn't pay off in this season.

634
00:28:19,920 --> 00:28:25,560
I think it'll pay off later because Dave Filoni has one of the three Star Wars movies announced

635
00:28:25,560 --> 00:28:31,280
and I've heard it's going to be a epic finale, even though Mandalorian is going to continue

636
00:28:31,280 --> 00:28:32,760
as long as people like it.

637
00:28:32,760 --> 00:28:35,480
Uh, kind of like the John Wick franchise, right?

638
00:28:35,480 --> 00:28:39,000
John Favreau said he'll keep doing it as long as he enjoys it and people enjoy it.

639
00:28:39,000 --> 00:28:45,240
Uh, but it's going to tie up the skeleton crew, the bad batch, uh, Mandalorian, Book

640
00:28:45,240 --> 00:28:50,400
of Boba Fett, Ahsoka, uh, it's going to tie all these things up into an epic conclusion,

641
00:28:50,400 --> 00:28:52,640
uh, for most of the storylines.

642
00:28:52,640 --> 00:28:56,800
And of course, like Mandalorian will continue on after the, after the fact, but so we're

643
00:28:56,800 --> 00:29:02,040
going to be seeing all of these people together in live action in movie form.

644
00:29:02,040 --> 00:29:07,040
So I know they're building towards that and that's probably why this one kind of felt

645
00:29:07,040 --> 00:29:08,040
a little uneven.

646
00:29:08,040 --> 00:29:13,320
And I, and I do kind of want to talk or blame, even though I enjoyed it mostly, I want to

647
00:29:13,320 --> 00:29:18,760
kind of blame Book of Boba Fett because like you and I said, and even, um, with our guest

648
00:29:18,760 --> 00:29:23,600
Simha, we were talking about how Book of Boba Fett was kind of like Mandalorian 2.5 season

649
00:29:23,600 --> 00:29:28,280
2.5 because there were like two full episodes devoted to, uh, Din and Grogu.

650
00:29:28,280 --> 00:29:29,280
Yeah.

651
00:29:29,280 --> 00:29:31,840
And that could easily been in the Mandalorian season.

652
00:29:31,840 --> 00:29:34,320
That should have been episode one and two of season three.

653
00:29:34,320 --> 00:29:37,400
And you could have a 10 episode or, you know, still make an eight episode and cut a lot

654
00:29:37,400 --> 00:29:38,400
of the stuff.

655
00:29:38,400 --> 00:29:44,220
But I think they're trying to do the long setup of this woman who brain fucked the

656
00:29:44,220 --> 00:29:46,040
doctor in the Mandalorian.

657
00:29:46,040 --> 00:29:49,920
And I thought it was going to pay off in the last two episodes of this season, but it really

658
00:29:49,920 --> 00:29:55,560
didn't because it was just Moff Gideon and she wasn't really anywhere to be found.

659
00:29:55,560 --> 00:29:58,100
And but they did set up this big council thing.

660
00:29:58,100 --> 00:30:01,920
And so that was fine and kind of vaguely interesting.

661
00:30:01,920 --> 00:30:07,760
But then, and I love Jack Black and I don't understand why they gave Lizzo so many lines.

662
00:30:07,760 --> 00:30:09,760
I mean, I understand why, right?

663
00:30:09,760 --> 00:30:10,760
Like I get it.

664
00:30:10,760 --> 00:30:11,760
Like I'm not an idiot.

665
00:30:11,760 --> 00:30:15,320
I know why they gave Lizzo so many lines, but they should have given, I don't know,

666
00:30:15,320 --> 00:30:21,520
an actual actor, Jack Black or heaven forbid, Christopher Lloyd, more lines.

667
00:30:21,520 --> 00:30:22,520
You know what I mean?

668
00:30:22,520 --> 00:30:23,520
You have two actors.

669
00:30:23,520 --> 00:30:25,120
Let's put it this way.

670
00:30:25,120 --> 00:30:29,040
I thought that after the first scene she had too many lines.

671
00:30:29,040 --> 00:30:33,440
And by the end of the episode, Sarah went from defending it to being like, why was she

672
00:30:33,440 --> 00:30:34,440
even in this?

673
00:30:34,440 --> 00:30:35,440
Why wasn't it somebody else?

674
00:30:35,440 --> 00:30:36,440
We all know why.

675
00:30:36,440 --> 00:30:37,440
She talked way too much.

676
00:30:37,440 --> 00:30:38,440
We all know why.

677
00:30:38,440 --> 00:30:42,480
No, I don't know why because I didn't even know who the fuck she was before I watched

678
00:30:42,480 --> 00:30:43,480
the episode.

679
00:30:43,480 --> 00:30:44,480
No idea.

680
00:30:44,480 --> 00:30:45,480
I don't know why she was there ever.

681
00:30:45,480 --> 00:30:46,480
It doesn't know.

682
00:30:46,480 --> 00:30:48,640
Listen, you don't have to have heard of her.

683
00:30:48,640 --> 00:30:53,640
Look at what Kathleen Kennedy has been doing with the sequel trilogy.

684
00:30:53,640 --> 00:30:55,080
The Force is Female.

685
00:30:55,080 --> 00:30:58,000
Now look at Lizzo, done and done.

686
00:30:58,000 --> 00:31:00,440
It doesn't matter if she is or isn't a musician.

687
00:31:00,440 --> 00:31:02,240
The fact is she's not an actress.

688
00:31:02,240 --> 00:31:03,240
She's not an actor.

689
00:31:03,240 --> 00:31:06,120
You know, they could have got the precious actress.

690
00:31:06,120 --> 00:31:08,200
They could have got Missy Elliot.

691
00:31:08,200 --> 00:31:10,000
You know, they could have got Queen Latifah.

692
00:31:10,000 --> 00:31:14,200
I can name how many fat black women in Hollywood are there that are decent actresses?

693
00:31:14,200 --> 00:31:15,200
Oprah?

694
00:31:15,200 --> 00:31:16,200
Oh, exactly.

695
00:31:16,200 --> 00:31:17,200
People that could have done this.

696
00:31:17,200 --> 00:31:20,640
I was saying like she's she's not a she's not an actress.

697
00:31:20,640 --> 00:31:25,640
She was so wooden and stiff in her delivery that it was it was it jarred me out of the

698
00:31:25,640 --> 00:31:26,640
whole thing.

699
00:31:26,640 --> 00:31:28,500
And here you have like Jack Black.

700
00:31:28,500 --> 00:31:30,560
And so what is everybody expecting?

701
00:31:30,560 --> 00:31:32,400
Fucking Jack Black like quirky Jack Black.

702
00:31:32,400 --> 00:31:35,080
You got Christopher Lloyd and he does some quirky roles.

703
00:31:35,080 --> 00:31:40,000
And and then you've got the most wooden person ever reading all the lines like directly off

704
00:31:40,000 --> 00:31:41,920
of like the teleprompter.

705
00:31:41,920 --> 00:31:47,200
He was like watching the community theater version of A Christmas Carol.

706
00:31:47,200 --> 00:31:51,640
And the kid is the director's or Tiny Tim is the director's kid.

707
00:31:51,640 --> 00:31:52,640
And that's why they're.

708
00:31:52,640 --> 00:31:53,640
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

709
00:31:53,640 --> 00:31:55,440
And then Tiny Tim is like awkward, you know.

710
00:31:55,440 --> 00:31:58,920
I feel like they could have gotten George Bush and he would have given a more believable

711
00:31:58,920 --> 00:32:01,320
performance from the teleprompter.

712
00:32:01,320 --> 00:32:03,160
Oh, what's her name?

713
00:32:03,160 --> 00:32:04,160
Kamala Harris.

714
00:32:04,160 --> 00:32:06,280
Yeah, why not?

715
00:32:06,280 --> 00:32:07,280
Why not?

716
00:32:07,280 --> 00:32:12,480
And the scene in the scene that was so forced that really took me out of it was she was

717
00:32:12,480 --> 00:32:17,380
Lizzo was like, I want to hold, you know, Grogu.

718
00:32:17,380 --> 00:32:19,600
And Dan is like, no, no, no, he doesn't want to be held.

719
00:32:19,600 --> 00:32:21,600
And she's like, well, here's a snack.

720
00:32:21,600 --> 00:32:27,440
And and it's like, OK, so maybe she probably stipulated like I'll only come and like be

721
00:32:27,440 --> 00:32:33,720
a terrible actress if I can hold baby Grogu, you know, like it felt like complete like

722
00:32:33,720 --> 00:32:39,400
contract fulfillment service that it wasn't even it wasn't even a scene worth filming.

723
00:32:39,400 --> 00:32:40,400
You know what I mean?

724
00:32:40,400 --> 00:32:45,040
Like I guess kudos for her to being able to hold Grogu and, you know, be part of the Star

725
00:32:45,040 --> 00:32:46,040
Wars universe.

726
00:32:46,040 --> 00:32:47,040
Yada yada.

727
00:32:47,040 --> 00:32:49,760
But I didn't that that whole thing.

728
00:32:49,760 --> 00:32:52,560
And then it's like and every episode kind of felt different.

729
00:32:52,560 --> 00:32:55,160
Like that one felt like CSI Star Wars.

730
00:32:55,160 --> 00:32:56,160
Like what?

731
00:32:56,160 --> 00:32:58,360
He's investigating the robots.

732
00:32:58,360 --> 00:32:59,360
Like what the fuck?

733
00:32:59,360 --> 00:33:01,600
That was a good episode, though, other than Lizzo.

734
00:33:01,600 --> 00:33:02,600
It was good.

735
00:33:02,600 --> 00:33:08,720
The robots were stimulating, especially because like Sarah was shocked that they had personalities

736
00:33:08,720 --> 00:33:09,720
and desires.

737
00:33:09,720 --> 00:33:10,720
But she has.

738
00:33:10,720 --> 00:33:11,720
I mean.

739
00:33:11,720 --> 00:33:12,720
Oh, go ahead.

740
00:33:12,720 --> 00:33:16,840
Oh, no, I was going to say, like, I liked I liked the interactions with the robots and

741
00:33:16,840 --> 00:33:21,600
the robots being able to fill their storyline out a bit, you know, like they're not just

742
00:33:21,600 --> 00:33:23,400
mindless drones.

743
00:33:23,400 --> 00:33:30,520
But I don't like why would you there was not really a reason to get like Dan and Bo Katan

744
00:33:30,520 --> 00:33:34,760
there to do like investigating?

745
00:33:34,760 --> 00:33:35,760
Really?

746
00:33:35,760 --> 00:33:40,240
I thought it was a thrill for a season in a lot of ways because maybe back to like bounty

747
00:33:40,240 --> 00:33:42,000
hunterish style.

748
00:33:42,000 --> 00:33:45,600
Like we're on an adventure to get you know what I mean?

749
00:33:45,600 --> 00:33:48,440
Like we have to do this bullshit to get to this bullshit.

750
00:33:48,440 --> 00:33:49,440
I enjoyed it.

751
00:33:49,440 --> 00:33:50,440
Yeah, I guess.

752
00:33:50,440 --> 00:33:57,240
I mean, I guess where they had the doctor and the lady from Moff Gideon ship was interesting,

753
00:33:57,240 --> 00:33:58,240
but it didn't go anywhere.

754
00:33:58,240 --> 00:33:59,240
And it took a part.

755
00:33:59,240 --> 00:34:00,560
It was interesting.

756
00:34:00,560 --> 00:34:01,560
I wanted to watch.

757
00:34:01,560 --> 00:34:04,800
I know because they had these phenomenal dogfight scenes.

758
00:34:04,800 --> 00:34:07,360
And then they're like, here's a here's a drama.

759
00:34:07,360 --> 00:34:12,880
And you're like, man, you just teased me with this dogfight with Bo Katan and Dan's new

760
00:34:12,880 --> 00:34:17,320
ship and all these like Thai interceptors and Thai bombers and all this stuff.

761
00:34:17,320 --> 00:34:20,480
And now I'm watching a drama like I want more dogfight.

762
00:34:20,480 --> 00:34:22,040
I want more aerial battles.

763
00:34:22,040 --> 00:34:23,040
Yeah, I don't know.

764
00:34:23,040 --> 00:34:25,440
I mean, I guess like it was fine.

765
00:34:25,440 --> 00:34:28,780
I didn't really get I didn't get the motivation, though.

766
00:34:28,780 --> 00:34:34,680
Like that's where I struggled with the the robot one is they were kind of like, well,

767
00:34:34,680 --> 00:34:40,000
we're the only like free planet left, kind of, I guess.

768
00:34:40,000 --> 00:34:45,400
We don't really have an alliance and we'll totally like support the Mandalorians if you

769
00:34:45,400 --> 00:34:47,800
do this for us.

770
00:34:47,800 --> 00:34:51,840
And it was kind of like it felt like they're kind of like trying to spread too little butter

771
00:34:51,840 --> 00:34:53,440
on too much toast.

772
00:34:53,440 --> 00:34:55,480
Like it just it didn't there wasn't enough.

773
00:34:55,480 --> 00:34:57,440
There wasn't enough there to really get me to.

774
00:34:57,440 --> 00:34:59,360
I like I enjoyed the episode, right?

775
00:34:59,360 --> 00:35:00,640
I'm not saying I didn't enjoy it.

776
00:35:00,640 --> 00:35:05,720
I just if you're looking back on it and watching it, I just kind of felt like it was there

777
00:35:05,720 --> 00:35:10,320
was just a couple of things keeping it from being like a really great episode and Lizzo

778
00:35:10,320 --> 00:35:11,320
being one of them.

779
00:35:11,320 --> 00:35:14,320
We kind of like the plot motivations.

780
00:35:14,320 --> 00:35:16,120
That was the weakest link on that one.

781
00:35:16,120 --> 00:35:17,760
Yeah, I couldn't get over it.

782
00:35:17,760 --> 00:35:23,520
And then secondly, like, oh, we're going to vouch for you Mandalorians.

783
00:35:23,520 --> 00:35:24,520
You know, I don't know.

784
00:35:24,520 --> 00:35:30,360
I didn't if they would have done more work setting up the Mandalorians needing Jack Black's

785
00:35:30,360 --> 00:35:34,600
and Lizzo's like vouch, then it would have paid off better.

786
00:35:34,600 --> 00:35:37,160
But they wasted a whole episode on the doctor thing.

787
00:35:37,160 --> 00:35:41,840
So if they would have set up more like, hey, if we can get like 13 votes on the council,

788
00:35:41,840 --> 00:35:43,520
then we can have our planet back or something.

789
00:35:43,520 --> 00:35:47,920
Like if they would have set up some kind of like reason why they needed anybody ever to

790
00:35:47,920 --> 00:35:48,920
vouch for them.

791
00:35:48,920 --> 00:35:49,920
Yeah, they're Mandalorians.

792
00:35:49,920 --> 00:35:50,920
They don't need anybody.

793
00:35:50,920 --> 00:35:55,320
You wouldn't think, yeah, especially to take back Mandalore.

794
00:35:55,320 --> 00:35:58,600
Yeah, which they ended up doing anyway.

795
00:35:58,600 --> 00:36:03,200
I thought for sure Grogu was going to commit some war crimes when he was in that room with

796
00:36:03,200 --> 00:36:07,880
the the Imperial guards or the Royal guards or whatever they were.

797
00:36:07,880 --> 00:36:11,480
I thought for sure because like he didn't have enough time with Luke to know that like

798
00:36:11,480 --> 00:36:14,320
force crushing a human was dark side shit.

799
00:36:14,320 --> 00:36:18,440
So I just thought like Din was going to open the door and there'd be like splattered guards

800
00:36:18,440 --> 00:36:21,760
everywhere and then everybody well, I don't know.

801
00:36:21,760 --> 00:36:22,760
Did he?

802
00:36:22,760 --> 00:36:23,760
Yeah.

803
00:36:23,760 --> 00:36:25,320
Did Grogu just commit a war crime?

804
00:36:25,320 --> 00:36:26,320
I don't know.

805
00:36:26,320 --> 00:36:27,320
I'm not a Jedi.

806
00:36:27,320 --> 00:36:28,320
So I can't.

807
00:36:28,320 --> 00:36:30,320
These guys ripped in half or something with his robot body.

808
00:36:30,320 --> 00:36:31,320
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

809
00:36:31,320 --> 00:36:32,320
I mean, like rip his arm off.

810
00:36:32,320 --> 00:36:33,320
Yeah.

811
00:36:33,320 --> 00:36:37,480
Well, like and Luke could have given Grogu Yoda's lightsaber for fuck's sake.

812
00:36:37,480 --> 00:36:38,600
Like who cares?

813
00:36:38,600 --> 00:36:40,280
Like it's too small for Luke to use.

814
00:36:40,280 --> 00:36:42,240
What nobody's going to use that.

815
00:36:42,240 --> 00:36:43,240
Give it to Grogu.

816
00:36:43,240 --> 00:36:44,240
Come on.

817
00:36:44,240 --> 00:36:45,240
Next season.

818
00:36:45,240 --> 00:36:46,640
You know, there's always a next season.

819
00:36:46,640 --> 00:36:47,640
There is.

820
00:36:47,640 --> 00:36:48,640
I did.

821
00:36:48,640 --> 00:36:49,640
I agree with you.

822
00:36:49,640 --> 00:36:53,880
I felt like it was very, very uneven, whereas I enjoyed most of the episodes.

823
00:36:53,880 --> 00:36:54,880
Right.

824
00:36:54,880 --> 00:36:58,360
But it lacked the cohesiveness of season one and two for sure.

825
00:36:58,360 --> 00:36:59,640
Oh, for sure.

826
00:36:59,640 --> 00:37:05,500
I also thought and this is a I don't it's not a criticism, but understanding what's

827
00:37:05,500 --> 00:37:09,760
going on is really dependent on watching previous shows again.

828
00:37:09,760 --> 00:37:16,880
They're creating a Marvel type universe because I had to pause a couple of the episodes.

829
00:37:16,880 --> 00:37:20,960
Sarah asked questions about why this and that she didn't understand a lot of the connective

830
00:37:20,960 --> 00:37:24,320
tissue because she hasn't seen the Clone Wars yet.

831
00:37:24,320 --> 00:37:26,360
And we're on season two of the Clone Wars now.

832
00:37:26,360 --> 00:37:27,360
So we're going to watch.

833
00:37:27,360 --> 00:37:28,360
Yeah, yeah.

834
00:37:28,360 --> 00:37:31,320
But a lot of the connective tissue is based on that show.

835
00:37:31,320 --> 00:37:32,320
Yeah.

836
00:37:32,320 --> 00:37:34,320
And I love seeing them.

837
00:37:34,320 --> 00:37:36,240
Oh, yeah, it was great.

838
00:37:36,240 --> 00:37:37,400
That was great.

839
00:37:37,400 --> 00:37:41,960
And then Bad Batch, they do two episodes on Hera, which is phenomenal.

840
00:37:41,960 --> 00:37:42,960
So I'm excited.

841
00:37:42,960 --> 00:37:46,840
I'm excited season a bad batch because I think they're going to tie it all.

842
00:37:46,840 --> 00:37:50,840
I think he's going to I think in his movie, man, I think it's going to be the conclusion

843
00:37:50,840 --> 00:37:54,720
to Rebels we always wanted and tied into everything else.

844
00:37:54,720 --> 00:37:56,440
And that'd be really cool.

845
00:37:56,440 --> 00:37:57,440
That's my guess.

846
00:37:57,440 --> 00:38:00,240
I'm guessing in the movie, Ezra is going to be back.

847
00:38:00,240 --> 00:38:01,240
That'd be great.

848
00:38:01,240 --> 00:38:04,600
But are they going to allow Ray to be not the center?

849
00:38:04,600 --> 00:38:07,400
No, because no, because because Ray has her own movie.

850
00:38:07,400 --> 00:38:12,680
And I think Dave, I think I think Dave Filoni and Jean Favreau have been trying as hard

851
00:38:12,680 --> 00:38:18,320
as they can to stay outside of Kathleen Kennedy's sphere of influence in their shows.

852
00:38:18,320 --> 00:38:19,320
Got it.

853
00:38:19,320 --> 00:38:20,320
Yeah.

854
00:38:20,320 --> 00:38:21,360
Because they're working.

855
00:38:21,360 --> 00:38:23,800
They're working in the cracks is what they're doing.

856
00:38:23,800 --> 00:38:24,800
Right.

857
00:38:24,800 --> 00:38:26,800
Because Mandalorian had Luke Skywalker.

858
00:38:26,800 --> 00:38:27,800
Right.

859
00:38:27,800 --> 00:38:30,000
And Book of Boba Fett had Luke Skywalker.

860
00:38:30,000 --> 00:38:33,520
And that's a OG, you know, IP character.

861
00:38:33,520 --> 00:38:42,360
But he was in there so little that it his role in the shows didn't confirm or deny the

862
00:38:42,360 --> 00:38:43,800
sequel trilogy.

863
00:38:43,800 --> 00:38:45,080
And that's the big kicker.

864
00:38:45,080 --> 00:38:46,080
Right.

865
00:38:46,080 --> 00:38:47,080
Yeah.

866
00:38:47,080 --> 00:38:48,080
Yeah.

867
00:38:48,080 --> 00:38:52,360
Because if you can if you can have if you can have Luke be benign in yours, your fans

868
00:38:52,360 --> 00:38:54,760
can then pretend the sequels didn't happen.

869
00:38:54,760 --> 00:38:58,720
And Kathleen Kennedy can pretend that you're still being faithful to the sequels.

870
00:38:58,720 --> 00:38:59,720
Right.

871
00:38:59,720 --> 00:39:01,400
That's an interesting theory.

872
00:39:01,400 --> 00:39:02,640
I like it, though.

873
00:39:02,640 --> 00:39:05,880
And then of course, like a Soca was created by Dave Filoni.

874
00:39:05,880 --> 00:39:08,480
So he can do whatever he wants with the Soca.

875
00:39:08,480 --> 00:39:09,480
Right.

876
00:39:09,480 --> 00:39:14,800
And that makes sense, too, because she is not a mainline movie character.

877
00:39:14,800 --> 00:39:19,800
So no, and she's in the cracks and she only exists in the Clone Wars.

878
00:39:19,800 --> 00:39:20,800
Right.

879
00:39:20,800 --> 00:39:22,920
She doesn't exist in any of the mainstream movies.

880
00:39:22,920 --> 00:39:28,040
So that's you know, that's a crack character like a gap character, whatever you call it.

881
00:39:28,040 --> 00:39:34,000
You know, not a not mainline, but woven in the fabric, but at a lower level.

882
00:39:34,000 --> 00:39:35,000
Yeah.

883
00:39:35,000 --> 00:39:40,880
And she's not she's not to be noticed by the majority of Star Wars fans, you know, who

884
00:39:40,880 --> 00:39:42,320
are only watching the movies.

885
00:39:42,320 --> 00:39:49,320
I am so excited because I heard the Soca series is a Soca hunting down Thrawn.

886
00:39:49,320 --> 00:39:52,360
And that is going to be bad ass.

887
00:39:52,360 --> 00:39:53,360
Should be.

888
00:39:53,360 --> 00:39:59,000
And they set it up in the finale of season three Mandalorian because Moff Gideon was

889
00:39:59,000 --> 00:40:00,280
going Where's Thrawn?

890
00:40:00,280 --> 00:40:01,680
You've promised us Thrawn.

891
00:40:01,680 --> 00:40:02,680
Where is Thrawn?

892
00:40:02,680 --> 00:40:05,200
Well, we're going to find out in the Soca.

893
00:40:05,200 --> 00:40:09,920
And that could also be a negative because now to understand Mandalorian season four,

894
00:40:09,920 --> 00:40:12,240
you're going to have to fucking watch a Soca.

895
00:40:12,240 --> 00:40:13,240
You know what I mean?

896
00:40:13,240 --> 00:40:15,480
So maybe a Soca is going to be three point five Mandalorian.

897
00:40:15,480 --> 00:40:16,480
I don't know.

898
00:40:16,480 --> 00:40:17,480
Who knows?

899
00:40:17,480 --> 00:40:20,000
It very well could be, which would be not very good.

900
00:40:20,000 --> 00:40:24,360
I know Sarah was really sour about Boba Fett, but she was also pretty excited to see Boba

901
00:40:24,360 --> 00:40:26,520
Fett in Clone Wars.

902
00:40:26,520 --> 00:40:28,080
So oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.

903
00:40:28,080 --> 00:40:33,840
I think if you see everything, it's going to be fine, but I agree with you that I don't

904
00:40:33,840 --> 00:40:34,840
and we've talked about this.

905
00:40:34,840 --> 00:40:41,480
I don't like the modern, the current Marvel stuff where you have to see the 15 other movies

906
00:40:41,480 --> 00:40:44,160
to understand what's going on.

907
00:40:44,160 --> 00:40:45,160
It's trash.

908
00:40:45,160 --> 00:40:49,240
And the concert reminders in the movie that you're watching about the other 15 movies,

909
00:40:49,240 --> 00:40:52,120
even if you have seen them, like I don't want to think about the other movies.

910
00:40:52,120 --> 00:40:53,640
I want to watch this one movie.

911
00:40:53,640 --> 00:40:54,640
Right.

912
00:40:54,640 --> 00:41:00,320
I went over to my buddy's place today and Sarah was looking at some furniture potentially

913
00:41:00,320 --> 00:41:06,440
to refurbish and his son pulled out a toy and I was like, oh, that's Thanos's hand.

914
00:41:06,440 --> 00:41:07,680
It's like, no, it's not.

915
00:41:07,680 --> 00:41:08,680
It's Iron Man's hand.

916
00:41:08,680 --> 00:41:10,680
And I'm like, it's got all these stones on it.

917
00:41:10,680 --> 00:41:13,680
I thought those stupid stones were part of Thanos's thing.

918
00:41:13,680 --> 00:41:16,000
He's like, no, blah, blah, blah.

919
00:41:16,000 --> 00:41:21,240
It's like, well, I didn't know any of this extra Iron Man Thanos magic stone stuff.

920
00:41:21,240 --> 00:41:23,400
I haven't watched enough of the movies, I guess.

921
00:41:23,400 --> 00:41:24,400
Yeah.

922
00:41:24,400 --> 00:41:29,760
I thought Iron Man, that's how he died in Endgame or whatever.

923
00:41:29,760 --> 00:41:31,760
I guess so.

924
00:41:31,760 --> 00:41:37,880
Because he took the Infinity Gauntlet from Thanos.

925
00:41:37,880 --> 00:41:40,960
So Infinity War and Endgame are fine to watch.

926
00:41:40,960 --> 00:41:44,120
And the good thing is you don't necessarily have to watch all the other movies up to that

927
00:41:44,120 --> 00:41:48,680
point, but every movie since those two movies, you have to watch everything else because

928
00:41:48,680 --> 00:41:51,740
then they reference those two movies and then they reference all the movies that happened

929
00:41:51,740 --> 00:41:53,400
after those two movies.

930
00:41:53,400 --> 00:41:57,400
And it's all like, well, now I just have to watch everything, I guess, but I won't because

931
00:41:57,400 --> 00:41:58,600
I don't want to.

932
00:41:58,600 --> 00:42:02,000
And superhero movies have never been my favorite anyway.

933
00:42:02,000 --> 00:42:05,760
Maybe that's why I don't like Marvel because I haven't watched those two movies.

934
00:42:05,760 --> 00:42:06,840
I'm sure that's it.

935
00:42:06,840 --> 00:42:10,000
That's the only reason that you don't like Marvel, I guess.

936
00:42:10,000 --> 00:42:11,560
No, I'm just kidding.

937
00:42:11,560 --> 00:42:14,600
I think, well, we talked about it.

938
00:42:14,600 --> 00:42:20,040
It gets so laborious, I think, as a writer, because now any Marvel movie has to somehow

939
00:42:20,040 --> 00:42:24,240
reference those or tie into all these other things because everything's so interconnected

940
00:42:24,240 --> 00:42:27,240
that if you don't, it doesn't make sense if you have seen everything.

941
00:42:27,240 --> 00:42:31,500
But then if you haven't seen everything, it also doesn't make sense because it's kind

942
00:42:31,500 --> 00:42:32,500
of a lose-lose.

943
00:42:32,500 --> 00:42:37,080
Like you're putting your writers in a lose-lose situation by having this giant interconnected

944
00:42:37,080 --> 00:42:38,400
multiverse thing.

945
00:42:38,400 --> 00:42:39,400
Yes.

946
00:42:39,400 --> 00:42:40,400
Well, it's like...

947
00:42:40,400 --> 00:42:43,240
And the same could be true for the Star Wars.

948
00:42:43,240 --> 00:42:46,000
It slowly is becoming true.

949
00:42:46,000 --> 00:42:47,000
Slowly.

950
00:42:47,000 --> 00:42:52,920
I like that they bring characters in that are backdrop characters, but if you make it

951
00:42:52,920 --> 00:42:55,560
too much of the story, then people will get lost.

952
00:42:55,560 --> 00:42:57,120
They don't quite get it.

953
00:42:57,120 --> 00:43:03,520
I think how they did Zeb in Mandalorian, he had one or two lines of dialogue just in the

954
00:43:03,520 --> 00:43:04,520
background.

955
00:43:04,520 --> 00:43:09,360
And if you had never seen Rebels, you would just think, okay, cool background character,

956
00:43:09,360 --> 00:43:10,840
whatever, move along.

957
00:43:10,840 --> 00:43:13,120
But I was like, holy shit, is that Zeb?

958
00:43:13,120 --> 00:43:15,000
And Sarah's like, I think that's Zeb.

959
00:43:15,000 --> 00:43:19,140
And then of course we had to look it up and he was Billed as Zeb and is the same voice

960
00:43:19,140 --> 00:43:20,600
actor who did Zeb.

961
00:43:20,600 --> 00:43:21,600
And we're like, holy shit.

962
00:43:21,600 --> 00:43:22,600
But it was like what?

963
00:43:22,600 --> 00:43:27,120
I don't know, five, 10 seconds, and that was it.

964
00:43:27,120 --> 00:43:30,640
That's the right way to do it, to do fan service, because you don't have to know Zeb's whole

965
00:43:30,640 --> 00:43:33,040
backstory to get that episode of Mandalorian.

966
00:43:33,040 --> 00:43:35,040
You know what I mean?

967
00:43:35,040 --> 00:43:36,040
That's the right way to do it.

968
00:43:36,040 --> 00:43:38,760
Well, when they brought back Cad Bane, that was perfect.

969
00:43:38,760 --> 00:43:39,760
Oh, that was badass.

970
00:43:39,760 --> 00:43:44,840
Yeah, you didn't need to know who that was to understand what was going on in the episode.

971
00:43:44,840 --> 00:43:47,840
And they explained he's a badass bounty hunter.

972
00:43:47,840 --> 00:43:49,520
And then that's all you need to know.

973
00:43:49,520 --> 00:43:50,520
Right.

974
00:43:50,520 --> 00:43:52,960
You don't need to know that much more, but it is cool.

975
00:43:52,960 --> 00:43:53,960
No.

976
00:43:53,960 --> 00:43:57,640
But when they were doing a lot of stuff with Bo-Katan and shit like that, and Mandalorian,

977
00:43:57,640 --> 00:44:01,260
having watched the cool wars, it made a lot more sense to me.

978
00:44:01,260 --> 00:44:06,920
Why all this Mandalorian, getting into Mandalorian politics in the show.

979
00:44:06,920 --> 00:44:11,320
It's like not having background in that probably makes it a little confusing.

980
00:44:11,320 --> 00:44:12,920
Confused Sarah, at least.

981
00:44:12,920 --> 00:44:13,920
Yeah.

982
00:44:13,920 --> 00:44:19,960
And I guess they could have done a little recap portion, which even for me, it would

983
00:44:19,960 --> 00:44:24,720
have been fine because it's been a little bit since I've watched Clone Wars and even

984
00:44:24,720 --> 00:44:25,720
Rebels now.

985
00:44:25,720 --> 00:44:28,320
It's been a year or two years.

986
00:44:28,320 --> 00:44:32,720
But they didn't really recap much of anything other than if you're really paying attention.

987
00:44:32,720 --> 00:44:35,780
They're like, well, you had the dark saber and then you lost the dark saber.

988
00:44:35,780 --> 00:44:37,600
So you're no longer the leader of Mandalore.

989
00:44:37,600 --> 00:44:40,680
But now you have the dark saber and a technicality.

990
00:44:40,680 --> 00:44:43,200
So now I guess you are the leader of Mandalore.

991
00:44:43,200 --> 00:44:46,720
But then Moff Gideon crunched the dark saber.

992
00:44:46,720 --> 00:44:50,840
So is she or is she not still now the leader of Mandalorian or not?

993
00:44:50,840 --> 00:44:51,840
Or I don't, you know, like, who knows?

994
00:44:51,840 --> 00:44:52,840
I don't know.

995
00:44:52,840 --> 00:44:53,840
And I don't know how I feel about that.

996
00:44:53,840 --> 00:44:57,080
Like how many other lightsabers have been crushed or snapped in half?

997
00:44:57,080 --> 00:44:59,120
Is that even a thing?

998
00:44:59,120 --> 00:45:00,120
I don't recall.

999
00:45:00,120 --> 00:45:02,280
But I don't recall.

1000
00:45:02,280 --> 00:45:03,280
Maybe it has happened.

1001
00:45:03,280 --> 00:45:04,280
I don't know.

1002
00:45:04,280 --> 00:45:09,160
I mean, I know Darth Maul's could split into to be two or to be the one double bladed.

1003
00:45:09,160 --> 00:45:13,440
But other than that, I don't know how many lightsabers have actually been.

1004
00:45:13,440 --> 00:45:20,040
Because like Rey is still using Luke's or Anakin's like original lightsaber that killed

1005
00:45:20,040 --> 00:45:21,040
all those kids.

1006
00:45:21,040 --> 00:45:22,840
You know, so I mean, I don't know.

1007
00:45:22,840 --> 00:45:24,800
Yeah, I don't know.

1008
00:45:24,800 --> 00:45:29,600
But then is the dark saber like a true lightsaber?

1009
00:45:29,600 --> 00:45:32,760
And that's where it's like it would have been nice for them to have kind of like done a

1010
00:45:32,760 --> 00:45:36,360
little thing on the importance of the dark saber, because I know they did that in Clone

1011
00:45:36,360 --> 00:45:42,440
Wars, but I can't quite remember all the specifics on the ultimate importance of the dark saber.

1012
00:45:42,440 --> 00:45:45,920
Yeah, either do why we haven't got there yet in the rewatch.

1013
00:45:45,920 --> 00:45:50,920
So yeah, I mean, it doesn't hurt to do a little recap, especially if you're going to be tying

1014
00:45:50,920 --> 00:45:53,680
all this stuff together in a motion picture later.

1015
00:45:53,680 --> 00:45:54,680
So right.

1016
00:45:54,680 --> 00:45:56,400
They made some references to Death Watch.

1017
00:45:56,400 --> 00:45:58,120
Now like that, I didn't think it was overly.

1018
00:45:58,120 --> 00:46:02,480
Yeah, you could easily go over the top of it and not like you didn't really have to

1019
00:46:02,480 --> 00:46:03,480
understand.

1020
00:46:03,480 --> 00:46:06,080
Well, you don't have to know anything other than it's a different faction.

1021
00:46:06,080 --> 00:46:12,720
Like they kind of briefly touch on Dan Jaren as part of a religious cult, you know, and

1022
00:46:12,720 --> 00:46:15,280
Mandalore split into all these different factions.

1023
00:46:15,280 --> 00:46:17,400
So Death Watch was one of the factions.

1024
00:46:17,400 --> 00:46:19,960
You don't necessarily need to know more than that.

1025
00:46:19,960 --> 00:46:21,560
No, no, you don't.

1026
00:46:21,560 --> 00:46:25,280
Sarah was a little confused about that, too, because she's like, I thought that Mandalorian

1027
00:46:25,280 --> 00:46:26,280
said to wear their helmets.

1028
00:46:26,280 --> 00:46:31,260
And I'm like, no, no, no, no, no, they're cult people.

1029
00:46:31,260 --> 00:46:33,480
That's like saying Catholics have to abuse children.

1030
00:46:33,480 --> 00:46:34,480
They don't have to.

1031
00:46:34,480 --> 00:46:38,520
That's a cult.

1032
00:46:38,520 --> 00:46:41,240
All of our Catholic listeners going to get angry.

1033
00:46:41,240 --> 00:46:47,680
Well they should be angry because their their their priests have been abusing kids and you

1034
00:46:47,680 --> 00:46:48,720
need to call that out.

1035
00:46:48,720 --> 00:46:53,600
And I don't care if Catholicism is not a mandatory reporting entity.

1036
00:46:53,600 --> 00:46:56,040
That doesn't mean you as a citizen aren't right.

1037
00:46:56,040 --> 00:47:00,360
Like we're not blaming you for their for their for their failings.

1038
00:47:00,360 --> 00:47:03,040
We're just saying if you see their failings, let's call it out.

1039
00:47:03,040 --> 00:47:04,600
Let's bring these people to justice.

1040
00:47:04,600 --> 00:47:05,600
Right.

1041
00:47:05,600 --> 00:47:07,720
I haven't talked to a serious Catholic in a long time.

1042
00:47:07,720 --> 00:47:14,960
I thought serious Catholics were fantastical beasts or something in this region.

1043
00:47:14,960 --> 00:47:15,960
They are.

1044
00:47:15,960 --> 00:47:16,960
Yeah.

1045
00:47:16,960 --> 00:47:17,960
There's not a whole lot of true believers.

1046
00:47:17,960 --> 00:47:18,960
Yeah.

1047
00:47:18,960 --> 00:47:19,960
Yeah.

1048
00:47:19,960 --> 00:47:21,320
A lot of forgive me, Father.

1049
00:47:21,320 --> 00:47:26,880
It's been 37 years since my last confession.

1050
00:47:26,880 --> 00:47:29,760
Do do the Catholics in our area go to confession?

1051
00:47:29,760 --> 00:47:30,760
I mean, I suppose.

1052
00:47:30,760 --> 00:47:31,760
Yeah, they do.

1053
00:47:31,760 --> 00:47:32,760
Of course.

1054
00:47:32,760 --> 00:47:33,760
Of course.

1055
00:47:33,760 --> 00:47:38,480
But they're not like, you know, most of the Catholics that I know and talk to don't believe

1056
00:47:38,480 --> 00:47:39,720
that the pope is infallible.

1057
00:47:39,720 --> 00:47:40,720
Yeah, that's good.

1058
00:47:40,720 --> 00:47:42,720
Then that's really good.

1059
00:47:42,720 --> 00:47:43,720
Yeah.

1060
00:47:43,720 --> 00:47:44,720
Which is Catholic dogma.

1061
00:47:44,720 --> 00:47:47,440
They definitely are supposed to believe that.

1062
00:47:47,440 --> 00:47:48,440
OK.

1063
00:47:48,440 --> 00:47:53,720
Most of the Catholics I know don't believe in transubstantiation either, which is like

1064
00:47:53,720 --> 00:47:54,720
that's a big no no.

1065
00:47:54,720 --> 00:47:58,080
You're supposed to believe in transubstantiation.

1066
00:47:58,080 --> 00:48:02,360
And for those of us that aren't Catholic, what's transubstantiation?

1067
00:48:02,360 --> 00:48:07,560
That is that during the Eucharist, when you take the bread and the wine.

1068
00:48:07,560 --> 00:48:08,560
Oh, it's the literal.

1069
00:48:08,560 --> 00:48:09,560
The literal.

1070
00:48:09,560 --> 00:48:12,040
The literal body and blood of Christ.

1071
00:48:12,040 --> 00:48:13,040
Yeah.

1072
00:48:13,040 --> 00:48:14,040
Yeah.

1073
00:48:14,040 --> 00:48:15,040
Yeah.

1074
00:48:15,040 --> 00:48:16,040
When you when you take your communion or whatever.

1075
00:48:16,040 --> 00:48:20,080
Yeah, I think I had a good debate about that maybe in college or shortly after college

1076
00:48:20,080 --> 00:48:23,920
about how that wasn't cannibalism.

1077
00:48:23,920 --> 00:48:26,600
Like I was arguing that it would that it would be cannibalism.

1078
00:48:26,600 --> 00:48:31,760
Like if you legitimately believe you're eating somebody's body, like, is that not cannibalism?

1079
00:48:31,760 --> 00:48:32,760
But I also believe.

1080
00:48:32,760 --> 00:48:33,760
Oh, go on.

1081
00:48:33,760 --> 00:48:34,760
Oh, go ahead.

1082
00:48:34,760 --> 00:48:38,320
I was going to say and this is going to be another thing.

1083
00:48:38,320 --> 00:48:42,320
People are going to be flipping their tables or careening their cars off the road when

1084
00:48:42,320 --> 00:48:43,960
I say this next thing.

1085
00:48:43,960 --> 00:48:48,720
So if you're driving and you're going to be easily upset by the next profound thing, Nate

1086
00:48:48,720 --> 00:48:53,400
is going to say, please pull over, put your hazards on your flashers, whatever you call

1087
00:48:53,400 --> 00:48:55,080
them in your region.

1088
00:48:55,080 --> 00:48:58,240
And I'll give you just a couple more seconds here.

1089
00:48:58,240 --> 00:49:04,760
I also believe the women that drink or eat or somehow consume their own placenta.

1090
00:49:04,760 --> 00:49:10,280
I believe that's also cannibalism.

1091
00:49:10,280 --> 00:49:11,840
I don't know anybody who's done that.

1092
00:49:11,840 --> 00:49:12,840
That's pretty weird.

1093
00:49:12,840 --> 00:49:16,560
It's fucking gross and it's cannibalistic.

1094
00:49:16,560 --> 00:49:20,600
People claim that there's health benefits and I'm going to be firmly on that.

1095
00:49:20,600 --> 00:49:23,000
It's cannibalism and I don't want to hear about it.

1096
00:49:23,000 --> 00:49:26,680
If you if you grind it up in capsule form, you grind it up in a smoothie.

1097
00:49:26,680 --> 00:49:28,200
Like get that away from me.

1098
00:49:28,200 --> 00:49:30,480
I don't want any part of that.

1099
00:49:30,480 --> 00:49:32,280
Please don't talk to me about that.

1100
00:49:32,280 --> 00:49:34,060
I am gagging now.

1101
00:49:34,060 --> 00:49:35,400
You do what you want to do in your life.

1102
00:49:35,400 --> 00:49:36,600
I don't want to hear about it.

1103
00:49:36,600 --> 00:49:44,040
If you legitimately believe you're eating a thousands years old body or blood or whatever,

1104
00:49:44,040 --> 00:49:45,040
that's fucked up.

1105
00:49:45,040 --> 00:49:49,880
Like that's fucked up in the head and that should probably not continue.

1106
00:49:49,880 --> 00:49:51,520
But you do what you want to do.

1107
00:49:51,520 --> 00:49:57,280
It's been going on a long time because the Roman authorities attacked the early Christians

1108
00:49:57,280 --> 00:50:01,080
with by saying that they were cannibals and they weren't wrong.

1109
00:50:01,080 --> 00:50:05,280
That's why they also said they were atheists.

1110
00:50:05,280 --> 00:50:10,120
Interestingly enough, because atheists have always been the naughty ones.

1111
00:50:10,120 --> 00:50:12,440
Can confirm as an atheist.

1112
00:50:12,440 --> 00:50:15,240
I mean, I can confirm that we're naughty.

1113
00:50:15,240 --> 00:50:18,240
Every religious group hates the atheists, seemingly.

1114
00:50:18,240 --> 00:50:19,520
And why not?

1115
00:50:19,520 --> 00:50:20,520
They're easy to hate.

1116
00:50:20,520 --> 00:50:22,960
Yeah, we just don't understand.

1117
00:50:22,960 --> 00:50:24,600
We don't understand anything.

1118
00:50:24,600 --> 00:50:30,720
My favorite argument is when like the evangelicals like this one that atheists know the truth.

1119
00:50:30,720 --> 00:50:34,040
They just deny it.

1120
00:50:34,040 --> 00:50:35,120
They know there's a God.

1121
00:50:35,120 --> 00:50:36,120
They just deny it.

1122
00:50:36,120 --> 00:50:39,640
I've always enjoyed that one.

1123
00:50:39,640 --> 00:50:40,640
So ridiculous.

1124
00:50:40,640 --> 00:50:43,720
You could win so many like debate clubs.

1125
00:50:43,720 --> 00:50:46,120
Like if that was a legitimate form of debate.

1126
00:50:46,120 --> 00:50:48,840
Well, the opposing side knows we're right.

1127
00:50:48,840 --> 00:50:50,480
They're just denying it.

1128
00:50:50,480 --> 00:50:53,000
That's I mean, that's that's debate.

1129
00:50:53,000 --> 00:50:55,000
They're supposed to deny it.

1130
00:50:55,000 --> 00:50:57,600
They're supposed to have a differing opinion than you.

1131
00:50:57,600 --> 00:50:59,800
I'm coming very close to the end on mine.

1132
00:50:59,800 --> 00:51:03,200
I'm starting to get I am burning my fingers on this.

1133
00:51:03,200 --> 00:51:06,160
I've got maybe like three quarters of an inch left.

1134
00:51:06,160 --> 00:51:10,920
This one doesn't this one doesn't taste as peppery, I don't think, at the end at the

1135
00:51:10,920 --> 00:51:11,920
finish.

1136
00:51:11,920 --> 00:51:13,720
I'm getting pepper, but not as much.

1137
00:51:13,720 --> 00:51:14,720
Not as much.

1138
00:51:14,720 --> 00:51:15,720
Not as much.

1139
00:51:15,720 --> 00:51:16,720
It's a little more mellow.

1140
00:51:16,720 --> 00:51:24,120
Yeah, this one was darker and more full bodied throughout than the last one.

1141
00:51:24,120 --> 00:51:26,120
Yeah, then the vintage.

1142
00:51:26,120 --> 00:51:27,120
But very good.

1143
00:51:27,120 --> 00:51:28,120
I like this one.

1144
00:51:28,120 --> 00:51:30,240
What one would you say you enjoyed more?

1145
00:51:30,240 --> 00:51:33,440
I don't want to sound lame, but I think I enjoyed them both equally.

1146
00:51:33,440 --> 00:51:35,400
But they were two different types of cigars.

1147
00:51:35,400 --> 00:51:39,920
Yes, they're both very good and creamier.

1148
00:51:39,920 --> 00:51:43,520
And this one's a little bit darker and has a more bite to it.

1149
00:51:43,520 --> 00:51:44,520
Yeah.

1150
00:51:44,520 --> 00:51:45,520
Yeah.

1151
00:51:45,520 --> 00:51:46,920
I liked both.

1152
00:51:46,920 --> 00:51:49,560
I guess I can't really pick which one is my favorite.

1153
00:51:49,560 --> 00:51:56,400
I liked the the finish of the vintage 2001 more than I like the finish of this one.

1154
00:51:56,400 --> 00:52:03,920
But I feel just my my taste preferences enjoyed the rest of this one slightly more than the

1155
00:52:03,920 --> 00:52:08,520
vintage 2001, but only by a small, tiny fraction.

1156
00:52:08,520 --> 00:52:09,520
Sure.

1157
00:52:09,520 --> 00:52:12,260
Yeah, this one was just it was different.

1158
00:52:12,260 --> 00:52:18,280
So if you like that more of that bite and the darker flavor, then this is the ticket.

1159
00:52:18,280 --> 00:52:19,880
But yeah, I liked them both.

1160
00:52:19,880 --> 00:52:20,880
Both.

1161
00:52:20,880 --> 00:52:21,880
Very good.

1162
00:52:21,880 --> 00:52:22,880
Very good.

1163
00:52:22,880 --> 00:52:25,920
And you were saying you've the Gurkhas have been a little hit or miss for you.

1164
00:52:25,920 --> 00:52:26,920
Yeah.

1165
00:52:26,920 --> 00:52:27,920
Yep.

1166
00:52:27,920 --> 00:52:28,920
I think so.

1167
00:52:28,920 --> 00:52:29,920
Yeah.

1168
00:52:29,920 --> 00:52:33,040
So I've had oh, I don't know, 10, 15 different Gurkhas.

1169
00:52:33,040 --> 00:52:38,200
I know I've had at least 12 minimum, but I've had a few different sticks.

1170
00:52:38,200 --> 00:52:41,000
And there's been some real good ones and some real bad ones.

1171
00:52:41,000 --> 00:52:46,080
OK, so it's a black autumn or black kind of like the beauty.

1172
00:52:46,080 --> 00:52:47,440
Yeah, I didn't think it was bad.

1173
00:52:47,440 --> 00:52:49,640
It just wasn't like something I want again.

1174
00:52:49,640 --> 00:52:50,640
Yeah, yeah.

1175
00:52:50,640 --> 00:52:56,520
And I think like a lot of the sticks that were like, hey, it's not if we're not saying

1176
00:52:56,520 --> 00:52:58,360
it's like straight out bad.

1177
00:52:58,360 --> 00:53:00,320
Like it's not it's not bad.

1178
00:53:00,320 --> 00:53:04,080
It's just for the for the price range, you could get something that has a little bit

1179
00:53:04,080 --> 00:53:07,600
more flavor, a little bit more complexity or what have you.

1180
00:53:07,600 --> 00:53:13,480
You know, it's not that we would ever we wouldn't turn down those ones necessarily.

1181
00:53:13,480 --> 00:53:17,120
I call if they're if they're mad, I would turn that one down all day long.

1182
00:53:17,120 --> 00:53:18,120
Turn it down.

1183
00:53:18,120 --> 00:53:19,480
I would turn I would turn that I would.

1184
00:53:19,480 --> 00:53:20,480
Oh, go ahead.

1185
00:53:20,480 --> 00:53:24,880
I was going to say I would turn down the cult blood red moon like I would turn down a placenta

1186
00:53:24,880 --> 00:53:25,880
smoothie.

1187
00:53:25,880 --> 00:53:29,760
Oh, boy.

1188
00:53:29,760 --> 00:53:31,800
Get that thing away from me.

1189
00:53:31,800 --> 00:53:33,620
I would turn down a quorum.

1190
00:53:33,620 --> 00:53:36,600
I don't think we've had that on the show yet, but no, we haven't.

1191
00:53:36,600 --> 00:53:38,200
I would turn that down.

1192
00:53:38,200 --> 00:53:39,200
OK.

1193
00:53:39,200 --> 00:53:43,000
Yeah, we're going to have one, I'm sure, on the show.

1194
00:53:43,000 --> 00:53:44,240
But it was not OK.

1195
00:53:44,240 --> 00:53:47,200
I'm so excited for that.

1196
00:53:47,200 --> 00:53:50,200
Can't we had one last time you were here, didn't we smoke one?

1197
00:53:50,200 --> 00:53:53,300
I thought we we did the tequila, though we did.

1198
00:53:53,300 --> 00:53:55,400
And we could put in more tequila on it.

1199
00:53:55,400 --> 00:53:56,400
Yeah.

1200
00:53:56,400 --> 00:53:58,480
OK, so I think that was the one we tried.

1201
00:53:58,480 --> 00:54:03,800
You asked me when I was there, we did one episode in person and then we just smoke and

1202
00:54:03,800 --> 00:54:04,800
drink.

1203
00:54:04,800 --> 00:54:07,320
And then at the quorum, you said, do you want to try this as a tequila?

1204
00:54:07,320 --> 00:54:08,920
I said I've never had one.

1205
00:54:08,920 --> 00:54:09,920
So let's try it normal.

1206
00:54:09,920 --> 00:54:14,400
And I took like one or two puffs and I said, give me the tequila.

1207
00:54:14,400 --> 00:54:18,840
Yep, that's exactly what happened.

1208
00:54:18,840 --> 00:54:21,800
And I kept on putting tequila on it because it was just not enough.

1209
00:54:21,800 --> 00:54:24,920
Yeah, we kept we kept basting it or brushing it.

1210
00:54:24,920 --> 00:54:26,520
Yeah, I'm still smoking this one.

1211
00:54:26,520 --> 00:54:28,360
Now I have a little over a half an inch.

1212
00:54:28,360 --> 00:54:31,800
I mean, it's like coming to the end of its life, but it's good.

1213
00:54:31,800 --> 00:54:32,800
Yeah.

1214
00:54:32,800 --> 00:54:34,800
I'm burning my fingers and I and I put it out.

1215
00:54:34,800 --> 00:54:42,080
So I think the overwhelming thing of these two Gurkas, the Vintage 2001 and the Centurion

1216
00:54:42,080 --> 00:54:46,920
is Mike and I both smoke this till it was legitimately burning our fingers.

1217
00:54:46,920 --> 00:54:49,240
So both very, very good.

1218
00:54:49,240 --> 00:54:51,240
Yes, do recommend.

1219
00:54:51,240 --> 00:54:54,280
And if you haven't watched it, watch the Mandalorian.

1220
00:54:54,280 --> 00:54:58,200
It was not as good as one and two, but yeah.

1221
00:54:58,200 --> 00:54:59,640
Yeah, it's uneven.

1222
00:54:59,640 --> 00:55:01,360
It's not as cohesive of a story.

1223
00:55:01,360 --> 00:55:03,060
Each episode is good, I think.

1224
00:55:03,060 --> 00:55:06,120
There wasn't really an episode that I disliked.

1225
00:55:06,120 --> 00:55:11,240
There were some that I liked less than other episodes for sure, but there are still good

1226
00:55:11,240 --> 00:55:12,240
episodes.

1227
00:55:12,240 --> 00:55:15,040
It just they weren't as cohesive as season one and two.

1228
00:55:15,040 --> 00:55:18,160
So right, you know, if you're prepared for that, it's fine.

1229
00:55:18,160 --> 00:55:19,720
It's all good.

1230
00:55:19,720 --> 00:55:26,040
I still have faith in, you know, Jon Favreau and Dave Thelony, and it's all going to tie

1231
00:55:26,040 --> 00:55:28,840
together somehow, some way.

1232
00:55:28,840 --> 00:55:33,640
They've been very good stewards of the franchise from what I've seen that they've done.

1233
00:55:33,640 --> 00:55:34,640
So yes.

1234
00:55:34,640 --> 00:55:38,760
So yeah, recommend recommendations all around, guys.

1235
00:55:38,760 --> 00:55:39,760
Yeah.

1236
00:55:39,760 --> 00:55:41,680
Everybody has a good week.

1237
00:55:41,680 --> 00:55:42,680
Yep.

1238
00:55:42,680 --> 00:55:46,320
Clean your guns, clean your electronics, clean everything you can.

1239
00:55:46,320 --> 00:55:47,880
Summer's coming, baby.

1240
00:55:47,880 --> 00:55:50,800
Catch us next week for probably another Gurka.

1241
00:55:50,800 --> 00:55:51,800
I don't know.

1242
00:55:51,800 --> 00:55:52,800
What do you think, Mike?

1243
00:55:52,800 --> 00:55:57,200
Yeah, we have two more on deck, so we could do next or we could switch it up.

1244
00:55:57,200 --> 00:56:01,560
Let's finish out the Gurka run and then we'll move on to something else.

1245
00:56:01,560 --> 00:56:02,560
Perfect.

1246
00:56:02,560 --> 00:56:03,560
Be safe, have fun.

1247
00:56:03,560 --> 00:56:28,200
Catch you next week.
