From the dungeons of Morningstar, my name is
Clint and it's fucking hot in here. And I'm Stretch,
and this is Prevailing Strange. This installment
of Prevailing Strange is what we like to call
Rant and Sundry, where we round out the week
by going over some of the subjects that were
previously touched on and follow wherever the
tangents take us. If you like what we're doing
here, guys, please follow along, like, comment,
subscribe. Tell us all the stuff you're listening
to, watching, and maybe we can chat about it.
I'm sitting in my underwear. Yes, you are. It
is fucking hot here. It's pretty hot in the dungeon.
Mate, what has tickled your pickle this week?
Tickle my pickle? I mean, we've talked about
the things that we've watched this week. We'll
talk about the news this week. Have you seen
anything that's really excited you for the upcoming?
Christmas break. Well, we recorded the Christmas
special last weekend. I'm looking forward to
a couple of weeks off. Fuck yes, dude. We're
going away to Southwest Rocks, so I should have
some things done by then. Might read a couple
of books while we're up there on the beach and
have a few drinks and stuff. I was going to complain,
build a nice little reading nook out in my front
yard. Because I'm going to, on the corner, I'm
going to put massive, you know them PVC fences,
privacy ones that you can't see through. So I
was going to get one of them, but they're like
2 .4 metres high. And then just put a nice little,
like a bench seat in the corner and have a nice
little water feature so you can just go out there,
sit and read and shit. It's just your own little
oasis. I want to do that, but it's just fucking
getting the time, dude. And I don't do fucking
nowhere near as half as much as you. I'm at home
by 3 .30. You do a lot more running around after
school and stuff, though, than I do. And then
fucking Brett's kids just went and got motorbikes.
So every weekend I'm going to be out riding dirt
bikes with Rem and Darbs. But, dude, they sent
me the video today of them getting their bikes.
Oh, God, no way. You lied. You said we weren't
getting it. Stoked. Yeah, dude. Nice. That's
good. Yeah. Happy birthday, Rem and Darbs. Don't
watch this. We've got to stop. We've got to.
Hey, Macca. I know we've said it before in the
past, but we're giving you a shout -out. Hey,
darling. Hi, Macca. But don't watch this, darling.
There's lots of swear words. Uncle Clint and
Uncle Stretch are bad at swearing. Yeah, turn
it off, Branch. Yeah, Branch, turn it off. For
fuck's sake. Love you, Macca. So, dude, yeah,
she hounds and she gets violent. Pretty sure
she's going to punch us now. Now, we were talking
earlier on in our little... text chain about
good things and festival lineups. Yes. Now, did
you go to that massive sound wave they had where
Linkin Park, Metallica, Tool, Perfect Circle,
Parsifal, fucking Jesus Christ. I was there and
most of the people you mentioned I did not see.
I was at other bands, man. Yeah, was that the
one that you put in the chat? Yes, sir. We'll
have a little chat and I'll tell you where I
was at the time. Yeah, all right. Because I don't
know whether you guys know this, but Soundwave
and Big Day had possibly the greatest lineups.
And then they had that anniversary show where
it was quite possibly the greatest lineup that
had ever existed. And we had Metallica, Linkin
Park, Blink -182, Perfect Circle, The Offspring,
Paramore, Slayer, Garbage, Cypress Hill, Bullet
for My Valentine. Tomahawk, Stone Sour, Bring
Me the Horizon, Fuck Me Dead, Cuse, Anthrax,
Sum 41, Dragon Force, Jesus fucking Christ. The
list goes on. That's not even half it. Fucking
Ghost, for Christ's sakes. Amity Affliction.
This was at one concert, for Christ's sakes.
Yeah, this was the first one where they had two
main stages. And they were side by side, yeah.
This is the second announcement. When was the
first announcement? Is that all the bands? No,
that's not even all the bands because Tool isn't
there. Sure, Tool. Was that that one? I'm looking
at it and I'm like fucking. What was it? 2013.
So I feel like. Let me Google. The bands that
I missed, I'm like, what did I miss them for?
Dude, right? That's the fucking lineup. Oh, no.
Okay, that was it. It was fucking. Yeah. So on
stage one, like you basically didn't need to
move from stage one, but you had stage one and
stage 1B. So Metallica, Linkin Park. Blink -182.
Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. Motion CDC. Fuck
me dead. Come on. Pierce the Veil. The Lawrence
Arms. But yeah, fucking, well, Garbage is playing
this year at good things, aren't they? They are,
yeah. Okay, so I definitely saw the one of the
years. I'm looking from the bottom. I just need
to know where the fuck you were at. for Linkin
Park, Pacifer. I was at Blingray too. That was
the year that Travis didn't come. Yeah, I know.
But everybody else I was with was there and I
thought I would see Linkin Park again. And I
never did. One of those silly little things that
fucking. Well, you can. It's just a different
era of it now. Yeah. And look, and everyone says
it, and I agree to a certain extent, the new
album is from zero. Zero was the original name
for Lincoln Park. I don't know why they couldn't
just revert back to being Zero because that was
the band before Chester joined. Just have it
as Zero. Hybrid Theory, weren't they called?
No, no, no, no. Or was that their first? Zero
first, X -E -R -O. Yeah. But, yeah, they were
called Hybrid Theory when they went to sign and
then they changed their name to Lincoln Park.
But, dude, you could have had it as Zero. And
it would have worked. No one would have had a
problem with it. But I think just by going –
but I still disagree because everybody in that
band has also played and written that music.
Chester tapped out. Fucking sad as fuck. Look,
you can argue with me all you like, but he's
the greatest fucking singer that's ever lived.
Definitely up there. Everyone says Chris Cornell.
Fuck off. Go away. Chris Cornell can sing Audio
Slave. Maybe Soundgarden. That's it. I've heard
him try to sing Rage Against the Machine and
sound like someone was shitting through the iron
needle. I mean, are you saying the greatest singer
can sing everything? Because I don't think Chester
could sing everything. Chester could sing Adele.
Fuck off. He could sing Adele. That motherfucker
can sing Adele. I mean, Corey Taylor's up there.
Fucking dude can sing. He's a bit of a douche,
but. All right. Wicked Game. He does a cover
of Wicked Game, just him and the guitar on stage.
Phenomenal. Yeah. Yeah, he just annoys me. Yeah.
But, yeah, no doubt that Chester was a fucking
phenomenal singer. Legit, man. When my mum died,
I was fucking, she was the best person I ever
met, and I was devastated. But I went to work
the next day. I always say this, like my work
ethic is fucking stupid. I'm retired. I need
to take it. I need to back down. But when Chester
died, I left work. I stopped tattling my client.
I got on my bike and I rode. And I didn't know
where I was going and what I was doing. I was
just riding. I didn't think until I got to Gosford.
And I didn't know why until I started going to
therapy probably about a year after that. The
whole reason why is because when mum died or
there was something that happened that was in
my life that was fucking breaking me, I had Linkin
Park to fucking fall back on. And now from here
on out, I don't have him to scream with when
I'm fucked. Do you think it was like, you know?
Your mum was a long time coming where Chester
was a bit of a shock as well. I had time to say
goodbye to her for six years, man. She was fucking
battling for about six years. So I did. I did
have that time. And when she passed, it was more
of a relief. It was like a – You'd kind of come
to terms with it. She couldn't do that because
she had lung cancer. Jesus. Fuck it off. If you
don't laugh, you cry, guys. So it was like a
– Okay. Now, the next stage, living without her.
But, again, the days I weren't doing well, put
on a set of headphones and go for a walk or sit
on the lounge and just listen to Chester. I don't
have that anymore. So I've had to find something
else, electric call boy. And them guys, for a
completely different reason, if you're having
a shit day, you put on some electric call boy,
it doesn't last long. Something that people don't
understand about, you can bag people out about
being a geek and enjoying comic book movies and
shit like that. But when it's something that,
A, people have grown up on, B, it was something
they did with their parents, or C, it's just
their escape from this fucking shitty, dreary
fucking world, mate. You should not be able to
pull someone down because of something they get
comfort out of. Shut up. I will pick on you every
time you do because you're for fucking anime
garbage. Man, the amount of times I say, you
know, we're talking about the fucking lineup.
What are you going to say? I'm going to say this.
What are you, like, fucking, oh, let your call
boys not there. I'm not going to say that. Exactly.
Like, fuck you guys. So they called you an old
man earlier. Fucking fandangled young fucking,
wherever Schnapper's not known, fucking good
music, whatever, kick him in the ass. I heard
a good song today, actually. I'm going to tell
you about it. I heard it at the end of a movie.
True story. It is called Burn by Mad at Gravity.
Relatively not. I say not really listen to it,
but if we had 870 ,000 views, I'd be chuffed.
Yeah. It's had 870 ,000 listens on Spotify and
it's a fucking really good song. It just scratched
my brain a little and it felt good. I'm like,
fuck, I'm going to listen to that. See, I think
it has something to do with your psyche. You
will re -watch things a lot. Oh, yeah. You are
very kind of. Guess what I watched today after
all the monster movies. Something you've seen
before. Ted Lasso. There you go. You're kind
of narrow -scoped with your music views. It's
either one or none. Wow. Tell me I'm fucking
wrong. You're wrong. Okay. The heck of every
time that I fucking say something, you're fucking,
who's that? That's fucking shit. Fucking wrong.
Anytime I mention something. Really? The one
to use. Shit. Have you listened to Ginger? Yes,
I have. There you go. You're welcome. That's
the thing. Is it great? You think. that everything
that you listen to is the best. No, because you
listened to Ginger. Did you like it? I did like
it. I listened to One In Years. Did I like it?
You listened to The One In Years. I've even listened
to Lorna Shaw, and I like that better than fucking
One In Years. What song did you listen to? None
of them. I'm making up stories. I fucking knew
it. You're so fucking full of shit. Man, you'll
watch the horror movies you tell me to watch.
Rarely. End. Regardless of how much I'm fighting
you on this, when the new podcast studio opens,
we're going to stream horror games, guys. It's
going to be fucking scary as shit, but you're
going to laugh at me. He's going to laugh at
me, and we're going to have some guests. So you
were saying before about what tickled my pickle
this week. I've been daydreaming about what this
fucking the next year is going to hold for this
and how we're going to change it up slightly.
And hopefully, you know, people like what we
do. Give us some ideas, guys. Like when you look
at our YouTube channel or our Instagram or our
Facebook or our TikTok, give us some feedback.
Tell us what you think would make it more something
that you'd like to watch or something if you
were scrolling through and you see that you'd
want to click on it. Let us know. Give us a look.
Yeah. Constructive shit. Don't be some of the
douches out here. No, if you want to be a douche,
just inbox me and be a douche. But don't. Don't
call other people in the comments douches because
you don't know how people are going about their
day. Tell us. We're the ones that have the ability
to change it or, yeah, let us know. We're putting
our faces out there. Hell, yeah. Yeah. And my
wife's face. There you go. Yeah, and just, I
don't know, the idea of what we can do next year.
I've really got to cover that up, eh? Let's go.
It says, Dad, eternal respect. I don't know if
you watch this show lately, but a few times a
few things have been said. Look, yeah, I want
to see this do well. I'd love to do this until
I'm 50. And the thing with us doing this is we
can grow, we can change, we can do what we want
because it's fucking ours, dude. Yeah. We said
it from the get -go. We're going to let it grow
organically and we'll just keep going. Hopefully
people will enjoy what we do. Yeah, man. And
that's the thing. Like, everybody loves our jokes.
Fuck, they go off, dude. But that's not the primary
reason why we're doing this. Like, I love sitting
here telling jokes to you and pissing ourselves
laughing at the fact that we've got to get another
fan in here just because we're sweating from
laughing at each other. Yeah. But, yeah, I'm
really, like, I know I whinge about the horror
game that you want me to fucking play and all
this shit, but I know it's going to be fun. So,
yeah. I just wish I got as scared as shit so
I could. I'm just going to be fucking deadpanning
it the entire time. You've never played a horror
game, have you? Yeah. What'd you play? Do I?
You can't play, say, Resident Evil, by the way.
No, I probably haven't, no. Not really. I want
to play the Mortician's Assistant. Have you seen
that one? Looks pretty good. Horror games are
a whole different thing. The reason why I'm getting
palms sweaty at the moment thinking about it,
the whole reason why they're scary is because
they're so immersive. You're in control. Dude,
I want to go do haunted houses. Let's go. Would
you like to see live streams of me and Stretch
walking through haunted shit? Up the views a
bit. We need some kind of disposable income.
Yeah, we need to be able to pay to go and stay
at a fucking haunted hotel. I'm sorry, but we're
fucking middle -aged men. We're broke. I mean,
we could probably afford it. It's just finding
the time. I need to be able to take time off
work to do this shit. Yes, sir. Dude, yeah. If
you want to see us poo ourselves and laugh at
us. Yeah. And, hey. We will live stream it with
no cuts. So if something happens, you're going
to know about it. We're not going to fucking
bullshit anybody. No chance. I want to know.
I want the truth. I want to know. The truth is
out there. We're the ones that need to find it.
You can be my scully because you've got red hair
and you're sexy. And I'm hot. Yeah. Fucking damn.
See that shit? You're already all over that.
But, yeah, I'm excited for the next 12 months,
man, to see how this goes, where it goes, what
we get up to. I mean, considering this has almost
been 12 months now, well, I mean, not quite.
Nowhere near it. About seven, eight months. Episode
39. It's been so much fun. And, yeah, like you
guys probably don't know, but Stretch does absolutely
fucking everything. He does all the editing.
He does all the scripts and shit. He does absolutely
everything in his own time. So, yeah, if you
guys want to fucking hit us up and just make
us a bit more. Viewable? Viewable, yeah. Like,
I don't know. Enhance our viewership? Yeah. Share
us round? We talk a lot of shit because we just
ramble. If we need to script stuff up and fucking
cut it up, I don't know. Give us some fucking
– give us some shit. Give us some notes. Be our
Spielberg. But, yeah, dude, I'm excited to see
– winning your sheet in the shed. Have you got
your sark in you? Yeah, I've got everything there.
It's just finding the time. Do you want to start
this weekend? Oh, man, I wish I could. I'm going
to Armidale this weekend. Are you going with
Vendee? Fuck, dude, it's going to be hot up there,
dude. Oh, no, no, no, no. We're going up to Partridge's
for his birthday. No, he won't see this yet.
Oh, right. I was like, oh, fuck, have I spoiled
it? No, he won't be able to see this. He probably
doesn't watch this. But anyway. You're in control
of the editing. You can cut that bit out. This
will come out after that anyway. I'm going up
to bleep. You can even beep stuff. I could. We
should start beeping stuff. We swear so much,
dude. I watched an episode the other day. Quentin
Tarantino wouldn't direct this shit. The amount
of language that comes out of us, Perry, is ridiculous.
Now I know what Branch says all the time. He's
like, dude, you swear so much. I don't think
I'd do. Clearly I must because I've watched myself
and I'm like. Bro, stop swearing. Considering
I toned down for this as well. Yeah, I'm trying
to not swear. Yeah. Like I'd censor myself at
home though. If I'm swearing, I'm about to swear.
But now Logan's starting to understand what I'm
trying to say because he's seven nearly. And
he's smarter than me. To be honest, I know. I
think you're smart. Well, thanks, buddy. I think
having little snippets of what we talk about
posted to Instagram Shorts and shit would be
okay. So then they sort of get more of an idea
that we don't just do the jokes. But there's
still so much work, man, to go through and think
out which. You know, which parts are shareable
as shorts or... The problem is we're so long
-winded at times when it comes to subjects that
to try and cut it down into something viewable
is time -consuming. Well, Instagram shorts now
let you go 90 seconds. Under three minutes. Anything
over three, you can go to five, but anything
under three minutes they will share to new audiences.
I've got an idea. I'm going to give you more
workload. Every time we swear, I want you to
put puppies over it. No. No. I mean, it almost,
for this, we record, I don't know, we record
maybe sometimes, some weekends, it's three hours.
It's almost, yeah. You've got to watch it for
three hours. Well, I've got to do that. Yeah.
And then it's pretty much like maybe one and
a half to three hours for every hour is how long
it takes to fucking edit. You put 12 hours into
this show every week. No, not every week. Sometimes.
Like on a bad week, yeah. But like. You're incredible,
dude. Some weeks I can edit it and it'll be maybe
like for every hour it's another hour and a half
of time watching it. But yeah, sometimes it's
fucking more intensive. Do you think if, and
stop me if I'm wrong, but do you reckon if we
have. At the bottom of each episode on the YouTube,
just have, like, what we talk about on that day.
Yeah, what do I mean? Because you know how they
do the click -baity ones? We'd have, like, Clint
cuts off a big toe or, I don't know, Clint pulls
a rabbit out of his sphincter or something like
that. Clint farts for 38 seconds. Clint sings
fucking Bleed It Out by Linkin Park with his
anus. Shit like that. Clickbait shit, no. Yeah,
and then just not do it. No, because I don't
want to be that person. Like, I don't want to
buy viewers. I don't want to fucking clickbait
people into it. I want it to be genuine. I want
constructive criticism on how to fix what we're
doing. See, even under one, you can say, like,
Clint talks about the day he fingered Jeremy.
Like, you could put that down the bottom and
they'd be like, oh, that sounds intriguing. We
know that the cast of Wicked would click on it
because they love the gays. We just watched a
reel. The gay, the better, everyone. Apparently.
I'm not gay. Not that there's anything wrong
with that. No, there's not. That's a Seinfeld
quote. It is. But out of the two of us, you have
not put your finger in my butt. I wouldn't. So
I think that actually makes you more inclined.
Not at all. I was like a doctor. I'm like, there's
something erroneous about that. And I expected.
Nice and greasy, sleeps in easy, everybody. Anyway.
Donald Trump. I'm the greatest of this. No one's
better at sucking Bill's cock than me. Oh, fucking
Donald Lewinsky. Donald Lewinsky. Oh, God. Man,
he's fucking losing it. Oh, dude, he's got dementia.
Yeah, he's talking about his dementia test on
fucking Air Force One the other day. Were you
there? No. That was a video of it. He's fucking
talking about these tests that he's doing and
mentioning all these things and then somebody's
went, that's a dementia test. And he's just talking
about it. I'm the best at dementia. No one's
better than me. Fuck off, guy. Yeah. What does
he say things? He thinks he's smarter than most
people in the room. But he really does. We had
someone that used to work here that used to say
that they were the smartest person in the building.
They weren't. That's how it is. I'm going to
leave it there. Usually the smartest person in
the room doesn't say they're the smartest person
in the room. Not at all. But, yeah, I just –
people need to do more magic mushrooms. Get rid
of that fucking – What's it called? Ego death.
Did you see the shit that fucking Conor McGregor
shared the other day? No. Apparently he went
on a fucking Mexican ayahuasca trip and now he
loves God. I did hear something about that, yeah.
It was like a series of like five. Do you call
them tweets anymore or do you call them exes?
I don't fucking know. But there were statuses
on his ex profile. You don't need to fucking
find God. You don't need it. I don't know. Whenever
somebody, the thing that I hate, when people
get up on stage and they're like, I'd like to
thank first and foremost God. What about your
parents that were taking you to soccer training
every day? What about your dad who would fucking
go to work for 12 hours and then take you to
soccer training or football training or the motocross
track? Something like that. What about the people
that have been around you and supported you and
helped you when you had nothing? Thank them.
Yeah. Thank yourself. You're the one that put
the work in. God didn't do shit, bro. Yeah. I
mean, don't get me started. Look, it's all well
and good if you've got some sort of faith and
that gives you comfort. Fantastic. Don't fucking
force it down anyone else's throat. Not everyone
has the same experience as you. I mean, to sit
there and go through all this shit, Alan Richson
is a perfect example of it. I think he's a fucking
Adonis. You cannot tell me that that bloke has
not used steroids. You look at season one of
Reacher and then watch season two of Reacher,
he almost doubles in size in the course of six
months. Don't sit there and tell me he didn't
do steroids, but he will sit there and go, oh,
God, praise Jeebus. Like, motherfucker, you got
caught cheating. You got caught cheating and
doing drugs and abusing women and then your publicist
said, oh, I know what we can do. We just say
you're a church, you're religious now. And that's
what's happened. Listen, I believe in religious
freedom. I don't care what you do. 100%. Some
people need it to organise the chaos of this
world. They can't process the fact that nothing
matters and shit just happens. Fair. But, yeah,
just the forcing it down the throats of other
people, I don't get it. As much as I like America,
love America, the pop culture that comes out
of the place, religion doesn't have a place in
government. Not at all. It shouldn't. You come
here and, you know, we've got religion in Australia,
but it's not in government. It's not everywhere.
Man, I couldn't believe, like. Every second billboard
I saw over there when I was in the States was
Jesus loves you or fucking - Unless you're gay,
everyone. Or something about anti -abortion type
bullshit. And like, yeah, it was just fucking
everywhere. But I don't care about religion.
It's fine. So when Landon started school, there
was the whole scripture thing. I never did scripture
as a kid. I was the same. Always went to the
library. That was fine. Not many other kids did.
Everybody else did scripture. Fine. Steph asked
me about it. I said, no, I don't want him to
do it. And she's like, why? You know, all the
other kids are going to do it, whatever. He's
going to miss out, feel fucking alienated, whatever.
I said, my issue is the fact that it's one religion.
Yes. Fucking yes. The fact that there's so many
of it. If it was religious studies, not scripture.
Fine. You know. you've got Buddhist fucking Christianity,
and he could find out about all of them and make
his own decision, I'd be fine with that. But
the fact that every one of them is out there
saying, I'm the right one, I'm the right one,
and this is the one that has to be in our schools.
In schools. They're trying to make it law now
that you've got to have the Ten Commandments
visible in every classroom in the United States.
Not even the fucking president abides by the
Ten Commandments, motherfucker. Get it out of
schools and stop indoctrinating and brainwashing
children. Sorry. Yeah. You can cut that. No,
I'll do it later. The thing about religion for
me, like, and I don't want to put anyone down
for it, but the way I view it is if there was
something real, if God was real, we'd have one
religion. Yes. Yep. Everyone would be aware.
And then. It's not like something you can hide.
I mean, we found dinosaur bones. And you wouldn't
have to go weekly to kind of reinitiate brainwash
yourself, basically. The whole system is just
kind of hinky to me, and I think it's just a
massive tax rort. Oh, yeah. And we should really
start our own religion so that we can rort the
tax. Yeah. Yeah, look, I agree with you on that.
It should be religions. I'm all for religious
studies. Learning about new shit's fucking great.
It's all mythology. It's fucking sick. But it
allows people to make their own decision. By
you forcing the one DD rule and that whole thing,
oh, we're going to learn about Jesus and his
12 apostles. What about that fat guy over there
sitting on a fucking lotus flower? He looks like
a good time. Yeah. What about that fucking blue
chick with eight arms? Fuck, let's go. She's
got a nice rack. But yeah, this is... I 100 %
agree. And this is, Ricky Gervais said, I'm an
atheist. I don't believe in a creator or anything
like that. Stephen Colbert said, why not? How
can you say that? He's like, hang on a minute.
You disavow 2 ,999 theologies. I'm just not agreeing
with one more than you. What makes you correct?
And me, incorrect because I just believe in one
less person than you or one less idea than you.
I'm with that. I've had this argument online
before when you talk to religious people and
the fact that you say you don't believe and it's
come up a few times and their argument is, you
know what disbelief takes, what you need to disbelieve?
Belief. So to them, you know. Okay. It's you
being ignorant of God where it's not the case.
No. I just, there is nothing. I'm not just saying
that, oh, that guy over there in the corner,
I want nothing to do with him. Not at all. No.
There's no guy there. No. Yeah. I'm a Satanist.
Everyone thinks, oh, you're a fucking Satanist.
You love Satan. No. Read the Satanic Bible by
Antony Vey. Nothing in there says anything about
Aditi. No. It's. Treat your neighbor well. Treat
people how you want to be treated. Be nice. Be
polite. Be courteous. If someone steps on your
toes, fucking annihilate them. Not step on your
toes, but you know what I mean. It does wrong
by you. Yeah. It's not a whole, oh, you need
to pray to me and believe in me, otherwise I'm
going to burn you for eternity. It's not an ideology.
It's a way of life. It's a way of life. Exactly.
It's not commandments. They're tenets. They're
just things to live life by that everybody should
do anyway. Be nice to people. Be polite. Do the
right thing. Go to work. Treat your kids with
respect. Raise them right. There's no deity in
it. No. At all. It's all for show. It's all kind
of a. Yeah. Red and black. Fuck yeah, it sells
tapes. Yeah. It's a good hit. What was that documentary
that they're saying in this one? It was a pretty
interesting watch. Yeah. And how they're basically
just doing it to. That was the Tenet Temple.
They want their religious freedom in every state.
Exactly. And they put Baphomet up there just
to fucking, because they don't want the Ten Commandments
on the lawn of the fucking local government.
If that can be there, why can't Baphomet be there?
Yeah. Did you see that statue? Gorgeous, man.
Sick. Absolutely beautiful. And like, I like
what they're doing. They don't believe in Satan.
No. No. It's all just. Yeah, and that's like
there was so, hang on a sec. If I was more of
a people person, I'd probably be a Satanist too,
but I can't be bothered fucking doing that shit.
I do my own shit. So, yeah, like the fact that
the Satanic Temple is a non -theistic. Theistic?
It was fucking started in Salem, dude. It's so
fucking cool. Salem's a cool place, man. Dude,
it sounds cool. See, like Christian Greaves,
he's the bloke who's the founder of it and all
that. He was, they decided to hold a black mass.
And one of the co -creators that had been around
with him from the start was literally, she said,
it was a woman, got up during this black mass
and said, something about inciting violence against
Christianity. Other religions, fuck them. Christian
Graves kicked her from the organization. Tore
her down, yeah. Tore her down and kicked her
out. She has nothing to do with September 10th.
He's like, we do not incite violence with anybody
ever. Christianity wants you to die if you mix
fucking cotton and polyester on your shirt. You're
breaking a commandment by that. Catholicism,
Christianity, all that sort of stuff. I'm sure
there is stuff in it that I don't understand.
And they say, oh, you've got to live by the Bible.
You've got to read by the Bible. You've got to
live by this. Everybody has their own book. It's
where it originated from that's fucking cool.
And when you go down that, the whole pagan originality
of it all. The mythology. Oh, my God. So beautiful,
man. Them fuckers had some imagination. They
were doing all the shrooms. It's fascinating
to read and think about. It's a fucking great
story. This man was walking the earth with 12
of his best mates solving the world's problems.
It sounds fucking fantastic, but it's a story
told by man. Well, we talk about Medusa and fucking
Hades and fucking all that, but it's just what
Christianity is to me. It's another mythology.
Have you listened to Mythos on Audible? No. Bro.
Narrated by Stephen Fry, one of the greatest
voices of our time, man. It is such a good listen.
And he sits there and talks about it with such
passion. He's actually, they're doing another
book at the moment. Don't know the name of it.
Don't quote me on that. But they're doing another
book. Stephen Fry's not. Sorry? Stephen Fry's
not. I'm pretty sure he had something to do with
that mythos book. Well, Stephen Fry died. What?
No, he's still alive. What the fuck, man? Don't
say that. Could be wrong. You are so fucking
wrong, bro. Good. Okay. So he's the one that
wrote it. It's the first book on Greek mythology
and it starts with Zeus and then his wife and
his children. He goes on to the task of the older
children and has it solved. So he's the author
as a style. You may have seen him in like television,
like QA and all that sort of stuff. So he's got
a great voice. He's made for audiobook. And so
he's releasing a trilogy based on these mythos.
And, dude, that first book is so good. Just some
of the, like, and you get, you paint this picture
in your head while you're listening to this amazing
man tell these incredible stories. Yeah. And
it just blows you away. Yeah. You're like, we
leave it as a story. It's fucking amazing. Yeah.
You don't have to throw belief behind it. You
don't have to change a life and ruin other people's
lives because of how you believe or what you
think or the faith that you have. If you believe
in pro -life, if you're a pro -lifer and you
believe in that, that's fantastic, man. Great
job. Good for you. But if you're standing outside
of an abortion clinic while a lady's walking
in there with her fucking head hung at one of
the worst days of her fucking life, you have
no right to say anything to her. If there's a
funeral for a guy who sucks some dick and loves
copping in the ass but he served his country
and died at war, You have no right to go to his
funeral and picket that and call him a fag. Yeah.
You leave them the fuck alone. You have no right
to encroach on anyone's fucking life. You leave
them the fuck alone. Fucking right, man. Sorry,
I got a bit emotional there. Yeah, no, like the
fact that they can alienate their own family
members. Yeah, man. That they can, yeah. point
at somebody else and say, you know, you're doing
something wrong. In this life, as long as you're
not hurting somebody else, you should be able
to do whatever the fuck you want. Freedom, man.
That's the ultimate freedom. Do not hurt anyone
else. Don't encroach on anyone else's freedoms
and you live your life the way you want to. Yeah,
100%. That's why we need to get it going. And
I'm going lighthearted again. So at the – and
he's told this story so many times because he
loves to pretend himself. The Red State premiere.
Kevin Smith's film. Fucking sensational. So he
had the premiere. His brother is a raging homosexual.
He loves the dick. Kevin Smith says to himself.
No, he doesn't say dick. He says he loves the
cock. Anyway. So what was that? What's that?
The Baptist Church, guys. Yeah. Hardcore country.
Yeah. Well, they rocked up at his premiere and
they're all like, God hates fags. They're holding
up their pickets and they're like, just all this
hate and vitriol getting spat at from across
the road because they weren't allowed to go on
the footpath in front of the theatre. Kevin Smith
walks all the way around and then joins their
side and starts chanting against them and then
he gets interviewed and he goes, I just think
that these Kevin Smith guys. Really terrible.
He's going to hell with this shit. That was for
the Dogma premiere. Oh, it was Dogma. That's
right. Not Red State. Again, for the Dogma premiere,
everyone's like, God, I hate Dogma. And his brother
held up one, and all it said was, cock tastes
great. And he was out there like this, and the
other fellas across the road, and I'm like, well
done. Like avocado, apparently. Clean penis.
I've tasted it. Avocado? Yeah, avocado. Yeah,
okay. I can't reach my dick, man. Jesus. Yeah.
Avocado, everyone. Unneeded avocado. Healthy
fats. Clean dick, apparently. Well, that's right.
I don't know. My dick's never clean. Oh, Jesus.
Whenever the boys at work say, I love avocado,
I'm like, dude. Yeah, you do. Just give me a
minute. Hell yeah, I'll be right back. I'm going
to polish this nut for you. All right, you want
to watch the next Solstice? Oh, dude. Now, I
don't know whether you guys watched it with us
last week. We watched the sci -fi short called
Solstice. Well, Jeremy's found a sequel to it.
It's called. What's it called? Something. Lost
Archive. Archive. Archive. Archive. Look at that.
Fucking look at that. Oh, look at that fucking
CGI, dude. Oh, there was a glitch there. I've
seen that. Did you see it? No. That looks so
good, dude. That's why all the grills are here.
When Solstice 5 was first discovered, the following
truth became clear to every nation. Control the
planet, control the world. Take the cheerleader.
Take the leader. The only nations with the means
to aspire to such conquest were the two biggest
superpowers of the time. The Continental Alliance,
And the coalition. And then on goals were clear.
Race there and establish arbitrary frontiers
around the most valuable oil fields before the
adversary does. It became quickly transparent
to the alliance. that the near total automation
of the industrial vehicles was the only way to
expand quicker than the Coalition. This endeavour
was coined the Industrial Renaissance Initiative.
It answered both the logistical nightmare of
having to send sufficient manpower so far from
Earth, and while ensuring a rapid expansion.
By the year 2132, and unbeknownst to the Coalition,
the Alliance's engineers started to push the
boundaries of what was deemed possible. And in
the process... we defined a whole industry eventually
feeling the pressure the coalition followed on
the same path driven solely by the desire to
outpace their rival both superpowers unleashed
uncontrolled automation leading to unforeseen
absurd situations some consequences In April
2137, the Continental Alliance, eager to expand
their factories, deployed a groundbreaking system
called automated long -range landscape levelling.
This technology, entirely developed and managed
by their central automated system, consisted
in high -intensity photobeams precisely carving
day and night to reshape the landscape at a rapid
rate. Consequently, the Coalition tried to catch
up on the Continental Alliance's Leading to a
similar technology, only much more prone to failure.
Costly mistake. Fell asleep at the wheel like
that. We are proud of our negligible failure
rate and are constantly working in reducing it
even more to make it safer for our teams on the
ground. But we must trust the system. We must
have faith in it. Whoops. Jesus. But the most
efficient, the most destructive method was used
for deep resource extraction. By the end of 2136,
nuclear fracking was considered the most efficient
way to facilitate deep resource extraction. Fuck.
It's not real, Clint. There was no way to predict
what a smarter system would do. We simply did
not recognize that as a possible path to accomplish
our goal. But the system did. Solstice 5 is far
removed from Earth and its ethical concerns.
Would you expect the same rules to apply on a
planet devoid of any conscious animals? Will
you approach questions of ecology or overproduction
there? Does it even make sense to ask these questions?
200 years ago, we created a weapon powerful enough
to annihilate mankind. 200 years later, we gave
this power to a goddamn machine. October 2137.
The overproduction of oil rigs, driven by a fragile
automated system, triggered a massive surge in
oil extraction. This placed immense strain on
the end of the supply chain, causing havoc throughout
the entire system. Both the Coalition and the
Alliance found themselves exposed to unseen vulnerabilities
as their infrastructures buckled under the pressure.
To be honest, a complete reset of the system
might have been the right thing to do at this
point. So, we put our faith in our own creation.
By March 2140, automated warships were patrolling
the same part of the sky above contested territories,
where fracking bombs would be constantly detonated.
Love the designs. Yeah, dude. Two fragile automated
systems competing against each other with the
same goals. A man -made creation upon which men
had no more control. Ready to fall like a house
of cards. controlled nuclear detonation by the
Alliance, led to the collateral destruction of
11 oil rigs, including 7 rigs from the Coalition.
As a result, the Coalition's automated defence
system activated, causing their nearest cruiser
to open fire on the nearest Alliance ship. The
conflict almost almost instantaneously reached
a planet wide scale. A methodical war fought
by metal titans. And witnessed by the powerless
men and women below. Architects of their own
fate. We know the oil fields kept burning for
months. turning days into night. This oil, so
coveted and indispensable for our survival, wasted
in our effort of annihilating one another, wasted
by the entities we created, no longer in our
control, following our guidelines to an absurd
extreme. This oil -eating fungi caused the loss
of 30 % of all oil tanks. Eventually the system
adjusted itself and started to flood the contaminated
tanks with anti -fungi product. By 2148, 80 %
of the oil present on the planet was either contaminated
or consumed by the system that was supposed to
harvest it. To progress. Solstice 5 could be
an answer. Could we save our planet by exploiting
another? Do we have a responsibility over the
worlds we discover? Are we bound to just take
and transform entire worlds to our will? It does
pose an interesting philosophical question, doesn't
it? Five years without humans, man, this earth
would be completely, completely different. Yeah.
Mate, I'm going to give some shout -outs to Paul
Chatterson. Well done, sir. That's some of the
greatest visuals I think I've seen in a while,
man. It looks so brilliant. So these guys have
got at least another one out, another short out,
and another one on the way. Incredible. I don't
know if it's going to have more to do with his
world or not. I love the documentary feel of
it too, you know what I mean? Yeah. Very cool.
Yeah, dude, I would watch a feature -length documentary
like that. Yeah. If you – true crime podcasts
and true crime documentaries, just ramping. Mm
-hmm. Fucking going nuts. These mockumentaries,
man, I would watch a dead set feature length
of that. You see me going, wow. Like my belief
was fucking put on hold for a second because
I'm like, hang on a minute, this is fucking real
for like a split second. Yeah. Just the visuals
of it, how great that world looks with the fungus
eating the oil and all the rock and shit. Dude,
well done. Saw that. tweet I saw about how, you
know, the popularity of Star Wars movies and
stuff like that. If somebody went out and made
like a documentary series on all the creatures
that exist within the Star Wars universe. Like
a fucking David Attenborough. Yeah, I'd watch
the shit out of it. Fucking oath. Just alien
life doing weird alien shit. The little pogs
with the green milk fuckers. Cute as shit. Yeah,
it'd be cool. Look, that there is probably one
of... That's probably one of the best shorts,
like the first one. That was okay. But Solstice
5, the original one, the one we watched last
week, was fantastic, dude. Captivating, yeah.
Well, even you and me were just sitting there
like. Said fuck all, ruined the whole thing.
Just like, wow, this is fucking beautiful. Dude,
give Solstice 5 his time, man. Both of them are
up. Forgotten Archives was released nine months
ago and Solstice 5 was released a year ago. But
dude, it's. It deserves way more than 1 .8 million
views. 100%. It was fantastic. Check it out.
We deserve 1 .8 million views. That deserves
more. On that note, thanks, guys, for joining
us again. Please like, comment, subscribe. Maybe
we'll be able to afford a new fucking air conditioner
in here because, god damn, we've got some swamp
nuts. See you next week. Love, peace, chicken
grease. See you.
