  SPEAKER_03: And if you get upset, if you get upset, think about why that is.
• 8:33
  SPEAKER_03: Why do you care so much?
• 8:35
  SPEAKER_00: Because it's become part of your identity.
• 8:37

• 10:30
  SPEAKER_00: You know, it's something super dark.

  SPEAKER_00: Um this week we're actually gonna take it in a different direction with all that fun, positive thinking you're talking about.
• 10:44
  SPEAKER_00: Um maybe.
• 10:45
  SPEAKER_00: I don't know.
• 10:46

• 10:47
  SPEAKER_00: Oh, I'm gonna get it's gonna get dark real fast.

  SPEAKER_00: No matter what.
• 10:51
  SPEAKER_02: There's no there's no avoiding it.
• 10:53
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 10:54
  SPEAKER_00: So the question I have for you guys is what do you think is required in order for your life to have meaning?
• 11:02
  SPEAKER_00: What constitutes meaning within your life?
• 11:06
  SPEAKER_03: Well, taking the life of another.
• 11:08
  SPEAKER_03: Obviously, it's the only thing that has real meaning.
• 11:11
  SPEAKER_03: We're gonna do it.
• 11:12
  SPEAKER_03: Highlander rules.
• 11:15
  SPEAKER_03: What do you mean?
• 11:15
  SPEAKER_03: Finding a uh a death by battle, that is obviously my meaning.
• 11:22
  SPEAKER_03: You act like this is a hard question.
• 11:24
  SPEAKER_03: It's obviously that.
• 11:24
  SPEAKER_03: I traveled the other seeking a battle to death.
• 11:28
  SPEAKER_00: So I mean Yeah, no, it has the Highlander, and of course, your best friend is the Spaniard who does nothing about his Scottish accent.
• 11:40
  SPEAKER_03: You know how those Spaniards are up in the highlands and they're kilts.
• 11:45
  SPEAKER_03: Are you 100% sure you're Spanish?
• 11:47
  SPEAKER_01: I'm too positive that you're uh Spanish.
• 11:50
  SPEAKER_03: Playing a bagpipe.
• 11:51
  SPEAKER_03: What's more Spanish than a bagpipe?
• 11:53
  SPEAKER_00: Uh well then let me let me actually let me take it to an even better place.
• 11:57
  SPEAKER_00: Let me take it to a good place.
• 11:59
  SPEAKER_00: What does it mean for you to have a good life?
• 12:03
  SPEAKER_00: What constitutes a good life?
• 12:07
  SPEAKER_00: Guests first, Luke.
• 12:11
  SPEAKER_00: What does it mean to have a good life?
• 12:14
  SPEAKER_03: Honestly, for me it's uh I'm pr I wouldn't say I'm a simple person, but I'm someone who doesn't need a I would no kidding.
• 12:26
  SPEAKER_03: Okay, I didn't say a weekend with the squatch.
• 12:32
  SPEAKER_03: You give me four months to be able to hunt Sasquatch, I'll find him, and that's all I need.
• 12:37
  SPEAKER_03: And that's what life's all about.
• 12:39
  SPEAKER_03: But no.
• 12:40
  SPEAKER_03: Um, in all honesty, like I don't think that like I need a bunch of things and uh or anything like that.
• 12:47
  SPEAKER_03: Like I don't need a a yacht, I don't need a million-dollar home, I don't need any of those things.
• 12:52
  SPEAKER_03: But what constitutes a happy life is probably finding my my kind of purpose almost is something that makes me happy.
• 13:03
  SPEAKER_03: So, you know, I can't tell you right now.
• 13:06
  SPEAKER_03: I don't know what my you know what would constitute a happy life considering right now.
• 13:09
  SPEAKER_03: Like I can't say that I'm at my happiest point in my in my life.
• 13:13
  SPEAKER_03: I think I could be find a a better point.
• 13:15
  SPEAKER_03: So I think what constitutes a happy life is finding something that I go in day to day, wanting to do, loving to do, and that's what that's what I'm what I would consider a happy life.
• 13:26
  SPEAKER_02: That's at the end of the day, finding a a purpose or a meaning or a job or a whatever, a calling or whatever it is.
• 13:33
  SPEAKER_00: So yeah.
• 13:35
  SPEAKER_00: Okay, all right.
• 13:36
  SPEAKER_00: And well, I assume that a lot of it has to do with beard growing.
• 13:41
  SPEAKER_03: And it that's you know, that's oh my I thought that was it, you know.
• 13:44
  SPEAKER_03: I thought that was like and it's it's kind of it, but it just doesn't get me there.

• 14:54
  SPEAKER_03: I like I I set up my own uh bench swing outside the gate so I could laugh at them every day.
• 15:01
  SPEAKER_03: I just swing back and forth and just point and laugh.
• 15:04
  SPEAKER_03: I have the best time.
• 15:06
  SPEAKER_00: Well, so as you're sitting there pondering, turn that around on you, huh?
• 15:09
  SPEAKER_00: Fuck you.

  SPEAKER_00: As you're pondering that, um what good life?
• 15:15
  SPEAKER_00: What does it take?
• 15:16
  SPEAKER_03: So a good life interesting concept.
• 15:20
  SPEAKER_03: Um my idea of what a good life would entail has changed over the course of my life.
• 15:31
  SPEAKER_03: It's changed as I've changed.
• 15:34
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
• 15:35
  SPEAKER_03: Now, when you ask me as an old man, when I look back, what would constitute a good life for me?
• 15:43
  SPEAKER_03: I have no idea who that person is.
• 15:45
  SPEAKER_03: I have no idea what they're thinking.
• 15:47
  SPEAKER_03: I probably suffered some severe brain damage, and therefore I'm incredibly violent.
• 15:53
  SPEAKER_03: And a good life for that person is much different than a good life for that.
• 15:56
  SPEAKER_00: I have syphilis and I refuse to take the medicine.
• 16:01
  SPEAKER_03: No, I uh but right now, uh, what I would consider a good life would be um to happily raise my family, to have a positive influence, however that is, on as many people as possible.
• 16:14
  SPEAKER_03: I already feel a good sense of accomplishment with my Twitch stream where I help people program.
• 16:19
  SPEAKER_03: Um, a lot of people have come to me and said, Hey, you know, you've really improved my life.
• 16:26
  SPEAKER_03: Um, you know, my teacher who I started learning JavaScript from on Twitch, learned with Leon.
• 16:30
  SPEAKER_03: Uh Leon OL.
• 16:31
  SPEAKER_03: I was in one of his streams recently, and he said, I just want to say thank you to everyone in the community.
• 16:35
  SPEAKER_03: And he included my name in there of you know, people who helped.
• 16:39
  SPEAKER_03: And I was like, I'm just a learner.
• 16:41
  SPEAKER_03: I just take a few minutes out and and do a thing, and I'm just I just kind of like, this is my thing.
• 16:46
  SPEAKER_03: But people actually have come to me and said, you know, you really you helped improve my life dramatically by teaching me these tiny things, like my life is so much better.
• 16:57
  SPEAKER_03: And if I can continue doing that as much as possible during my life, then I will have lived a good life.
• 17:05
  SPEAKER_03: Uh just helping as many people as I can when I can.
• 17:08
  SPEAKER_00: All right, all right.

• 17:31
  SPEAKER_00: So um, well then for me, um, I'm gonna have to go with what we stated originally, and that's definitely gonna be kill count.
• 17:39
  SPEAKER_02: If my body at least 100, I'm I have a what's your number?
• 17:45

• 18:00
  SPEAKER_01: Kimarouge for life.
• 18:02
  SPEAKER_00: No, uh, to to live a good life.
• 18:04
  SPEAKER_00: Uh, you had made a good point or in your discussion there just about how it changes every five fucking minutes.
• 18:11
  SPEAKER_00: Um please nobody clip me saying Chimera Rouge for life.
• 18:15
  SPEAKER_03: That was that wasn't real.
• 18:17
  SPEAKER_03: That was me being sarcastic.
• 18:20
  SPEAKER_00: Uh and watch making all this content and watch how quickly you're taken out of context.
• 18:26
  SPEAKER_00: Um, but I would say, well, it's so it's interesting.
• 18:29
  SPEAKER_00: So I I recall a point in my life where for me living a good life was a culmination of experience, good and bad, and just kind of living all aspects and facets and you know, experiencing the best, experiencing the worst, you know, just really diving into life and seeing what that's like.
• 18:50
  SPEAKER_00: I did that for a while, and the bad stuff sucks.
• 18:58
  SPEAKER_01: Oh, yeah.
• 18:59
  SPEAKER_03: Like, really bad.
• 19:00
  SPEAKER_03: The bad stuff like is not a great and torturing doesn't bring happiness.
• 19:05
  SPEAKER_00: No, no, no, no.
• 19:07
  SPEAKER_00: Um, I mean, has it made me a more rounded person?
• 19:11
  SPEAKER_00: Yes.
• 19:11
  SPEAKER_00: Has it left me with nightmares?
• 19:14
  SPEAKER_00: Yes, of course.
• 19:16
  SPEAKER_00: Um, and and so I don't know if uh you know if I could do it again, I might skip the bad stuff.
• 19:23
  SPEAKER_00: Um, because you know there's a reason they call it bad.
• 19:25
  SPEAKER_03: And you know, yeah, you're going back to your past self right now and saying, was that was that are you sure that's what we wanted to do?
• 19:33
  SPEAKER_03: Are you positive?
• 19:34
  SPEAKER_00: Well, well, I mean, and that's why we in that lepisode in that episode we did with Lynn, the lepisode.
• 19:39
  SPEAKER_00: The leplisode.
• 19:41
  SPEAKER_00: I like that portmanteau we we were talking about if you could leap out of a bathroom stall and say two sentences to your old self.
• 19:47
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, he said he just kick his own ass.
• 19:49
  SPEAKER_00: I would just kick my ass.
• 19:51
  SPEAKER_00: And I I'm gonna have to go with that again.
• 19:53
  SPEAKER_00: Um, I kick my own ass.
• 19:55
  SPEAKER_00: Um to live my to the best life, uh, to live a good life, I would say.
• 20:00
  SPEAKER_00: Now, fuck man, I don't know.
• 20:03
  SPEAKER_00: I'm still figuring that shit out.
• 20:04
  SPEAKER_00: Uh I feel that.
• 20:05
  SPEAKER_03: Uh that's exactly where I'm at.
• 20:07
  SPEAKER_03: It's gonna change, and that's okay.
• 20:09
  SPEAKER_03: See, that's the important thing is that it's okay for your view of a good life to change.
• 20:13
  SPEAKER_03: It's okay for all facets of you to change.
• 20:16
  SPEAKER_03: We have this really unhealthy obsession with like trying to hold on to pieces of ourselves and like these very static portions of ourselves.
• 20:23
  SPEAKER_03: Real unhealthy.
• 20:24
  SPEAKER_03: You're not defined by who you are or were at any time.
• 20:28
  SPEAKER_03: You know, people always change.
• 20:30
  SPEAKER_00: No, and I'm I'm I'm I'm happy you brought that up because that's been something I've been thinking of lately.
• 20:34
  SPEAKER_00: Is I I notice, I mean, you can see this on Facebook.
• 20:38
  SPEAKER_00: As soon as you scroll through like anyone's page who's over 40, and they're just posting this cringy shit in this desire to hang on to something.
• 20:49
  SPEAKER_00: And I mean you can see that that's clearly what they're trying to do there.
• 20:53
  SPEAKER_00: And they're just timeless sandworms.
• 20:55
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah, it's and they're you they're all super unhappy.
• 20:57
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah, like they're all super unhappy, but they're also like this is the key to happiness, yeah.
• 21:01
  SPEAKER_03: I know how to live.
• 21:02
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
• 21:02
  SPEAKER_03: What do you mean I don't know how to live?

  SPEAKER_03: Fuck you.
• 21:05
  SPEAKER_03: I want to kill myself.
• 21:09
  SPEAKER_03: It's like it's the worst.
• 21:11
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, no, and that's why we bring up timeless sandworms.
• 21:13
  SPEAKER_00: They're everywhere, they are everywhere.
• 21:16
  SPEAKER_03: People just this there's this huge obsession with the past.
• 21:18

• 21:31
  SPEAKER_03: I think combination of uh your answers, though, I think it always is gonna change.
• 21:36
  SPEAKER_03: I think you know, at one point in my life, I'm sure I had um a great idea.
• 21:40
  SPEAKER_03: You know, it would have been an answer that I would have told you with a backstory and and a future to beyond the stars.
• 21:46
  SPEAKER_03: But you know, right now I don't have much for you on this day.
• 21:49
  SPEAKER_03: You know, right now I'm looking, I'm I'm still looking for uh what constitutes a happy life right now.

  SPEAKER_02: I'm sure you're gonna become a developer that will be able to make that.
• 23:07
  SPEAKER_02: So you know.

  SPEAKER_02: I'm not gonna make it.
• 23:08

  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, someone else will make it.
• 23:13
  SPEAKER_00: It's too much fondling.
• 23:15
  SPEAKER_03: I can never get through the testing phase.
• 23:20
  SPEAKER_03: Someone would have to step in.
• 23:24
  SPEAKER_00: Someone would have to step in.

  SPEAKER_03: So there's two that people are gonna take out of contact.
• 23:32
  SPEAKER_03: I just I haven't had a chance to be like absurd lately.
• 23:35
  SPEAKER_03: I'm just I'm having a good time just letting be a real absurd today.
• 23:40
  SPEAKER_00: Well, that's what we're trying to do.
• 23:41
  SPEAKER_00: This is this is that podcast where you you it's fucking Thursday.
• 23:46
  SPEAKER_00: The week has just been bending you over a table.
• 23:50
  SPEAKER_00: It's time to have some drinks and talk about James as a senpai.
• 23:56
  SPEAKER_01: Senpai?
• 23:59
  SPEAKER_03: I'm a dominatrix, but I dress up like a member of the Chimera Rouge.
• 24:03
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
• 24:04
  SPEAKER_03: A dominator.
• 24:07
  SPEAKER_03: And uh, you know.
• 24:10
  SPEAKER_00: Do you guys happen to remember that movie with Tom Cruise Last Samurai?
• 24:14
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, that's me.
• 24:15
  SPEAKER_00: In Cambodia.
• 24:17
  SPEAKER_02: I just saw a meme of that.
• 24:18
  SPEAKER_02: Committing genocide.
• 24:21
  SPEAKER_00: I saw this, uh I saw this meme the other day.
• 24:24
  SPEAKER_00: Remember that scene at the end where it's about to be the final battle, and Tom Cruise is rolling up in full samurai armor, and you see that bad guy general from the uh imperialist side who rolls up on his horse and just fucking weeb!
• 24:46
  SPEAKER_03: That movie is kind of ridiculous, honestly.
• 24:49
  SPEAKER_03: Like if you just if you were just watching like outside perspective, you're like, what is going on?
• 24:53
  SPEAKER_03: Like in this movie.
• 24:54
  SPEAKER_00: Well, what's interesting though, so I I did I did have to do some like research, um, and I went back through the archives.
• 25:02
  SPEAKER_00: He's based on a French dude.
• 25:05
  SPEAKER_00: Uh he's based on a French guy who basically like he has very few journals.
• 25:12
  SPEAKER_00: He wasn't big on writing.
• 25:13
  SPEAKER_00: Okay.
• 25:14
  SPEAKER_00: Everything that you saw from him was basically, you know what?
• 25:18
  SPEAKER_00: That looks like a lot of fun.
• 25:20
  SPEAKER_00: I'm gonna go be a Sam with Tokugawa.
• 25:25
  SPEAKER_02: So it was just this French guy that just did it.
• 25:29
  SPEAKER_02: Okay.
• 25:30
  SPEAKER_02: And Tom Cruise portrayed him as a haunted American.
• 25:35
  SPEAKER_00: Alright, whatever.
• 25:36
  SPEAKER_00: Okay, yeah.
• 25:37
  SPEAKER_02: Fair enough.
• 25:38
  SPEAKER_02: Okay, yeah.
• 25:38
  SPEAKER_02: Uh yeah, fair enough.
• 25:43
  SPEAKER_00: So, anyway, that brings us into the second part of the podcast where it's time to get down into a fist fight.
• 25:50
  SPEAKER_00: We got two characters ready to fight each other.
• 25:53
  SPEAKER_00: Um, your favorite nerd shit is gonna fight more of your favorite nerd shit.
• 25:57
  SPEAKER_00: But before we do that, we gotta get a little more drunk and we gotta get a little more high.
• 26:02
  SPEAKER_00: Yay! So this one, let me let me pour it up here.
• 26:06
  SPEAKER_00: I got some deep eddies going straight into a high and dry podcast shot glass.
• 26:13
  SPEAKER_00: And DM us if you want one or something.
• 26:15
  SPEAKER_00: We'll figure something out.
• 26:16
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 26:19
  SPEAKER_00: Alright, so this one goes out to our competitors, our fighters this week.
• 26:23
  SPEAKER_00: Our fighters this week, who James nor our guests know of.
• 26:29
  SPEAKER_00: This is we're going in dry.
• 26:33
  SPEAKER_03: And high.
• 26:34
  SPEAKER_00: Is our fighters this week are Dom of the Fast and Furious franchise played by Vin Diesel versus Obi-Wan Kenobi cheers?
• 26:47
  SPEAKER_00: Alrighty.
• 26:51
  SPEAKER_01: I don't want Obi-Wan Kenobi to lose the time.
• 26:55
  SPEAKER_00: Well, too bad.
• 26:57
  SPEAKER_03: One has the force and the other has family.
• 27:01
  SPEAKER_03: He has he has driving cars.
• 27:04
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
• 27:05
  SPEAKER_03: How can Obi-Wan beat the concept of cars?
• 27:09
  SPEAKER_03: Is the force in transit?
• 27:11
  SPEAKER_03: And I did just see a video of a guy who um he modded the what's it called, battlefront game, and he had Dominic Toretto's Dominic Torretto's car with space engines on it shooting people down in Battlefront 2.
• 27:31
  SPEAKER_00: God damn it.
• 27:33
  SPEAKER_00: Son of a bitch.
• 27:38
  SPEAKER_00: We are a reflection of society.
• 27:41
  SPEAKER_01: I thought we were gonna do a never mind.
• 27:44
  SPEAKER_00: This is society looking into a mirror.
• 27:46
  SPEAKER_00: God damn it.
• 27:49
  SPEAKER_04: It's trying society, it's the worst.
• 27:51
  SPEAKER_03: Oh, the worst.
• 27:54
  SPEAKER_03: It was a good we tried society.
• 27:56
  SPEAKER_03: Oh, it was a good experiment.
• 27:58
  SPEAKER_00: And now we got Dom versus Obi-Wan Penobi, and we realized that it might be time to try something else.
• 28:03
  SPEAKER_00: Maybe society is not the answer.
• 28:07
  SPEAKER_01: My brother Dominic.
• 28:12
  SPEAKER_00: So, how we do this in High and Dry podcast, we have a patented method for determining which of these fighters is gonna win.
• 28:19
  SPEAKER_00: Completely indisputable.
• 28:21
  SPEAKER_00: It has been taken by the US government as being a valid method for determining this.
• 28:28
  SPEAKER_00: Okay, okay.
• 28:30
  SPEAKER_00: Uh can we say that?
• 28:33
  SPEAKER_00: As soon as you say it's copyrighted, you're good to go.
• 28:35
  SPEAKER_00: Alright, cool.
• 28:36
  SPEAKER_00: So, anyway, so round one, and we do this in a three-round method.
• 28:40
  SPEAKER_00: So, round one, these two fighters have stepped into a Gen X bar, gone down into the basement where Brad Pitt told them some fight club rules, and they just start punching each other to death.
• 28:50
  SPEAKER_00: Okay.
• 28:50
  SPEAKER_00: Round two, it zooms out into a city view where both of these characters have received a manila envelope, which tells them that they have 24 hours to kill the other one.
• 28:58
  SPEAKER_00: They have everything at their normal disposal, or they could just go out and buy a fucking shotgun.
• 29:03
  SPEAKER_00: And then round three is the same as round two, except this time they get to bring a friend.
• 29:09
  SPEAKER_00: So moving into round one, the high and dry podcast crew has just rode in on a timeless sandworm.
• 29:15
  SPEAKER_00: Cher and Carl Urban are already seated in the box seats.
• 29:18
  SPEAKER_00: She's giving the head nod to Brad Pitt where the fight is getting ready to begin.
• 29:23
  SPEAKER_00: Dom of Fast and Furious played by Vin Diesel is shadow boxing while Obi-Wan Kenobi, I don't know, he's there.
• 29:32
  SPEAKER_00: Um, and he's wondering why he's down here.
• 29:35
  SPEAKER_00: And they're ready to fight punch for punch, pound for pound.
• 29:38
  SPEAKER_00: Who's gonna take it?
• 29:40
  SPEAKER_00: Luke, you're up first.
• 29:42
  SPEAKER_00: What happens?
• 29:46
  SPEAKER_00: Alright.
• 29:48
  SPEAKER_03: I uh I've seen I haven't seen all of the Fast and Furious movies.
• 29:53
  SPEAKER_03: I can't say I'm caught up.
• 29:54
  SPEAKER_03: So I can't tell you all of Dominic Toretto's abilities currently.
• 29:59
  SPEAKER_04: You know his full name.
• 30:01
  SPEAKER_03: You do know his full name.
• 30:02
  SPEAKER_03: I do I didn't know his full name.
• 30:04
  SPEAKER_03: You didn't?
• 30:05
  SPEAKER_03: You know more than us.
• 30:06
  SPEAKER_02: I do, I do.
• 30:07
  SPEAKER_02: I know his full name.
• 30:08
  SPEAKER_03: You're gonna lead this conversation, I think.
• 30:11
  SPEAKER_02: So I do this movie.
• 30:13
  SPEAKER_02: So he he does get multiple fist fights throughout the franchise.
• 30:17
  SPEAKER_02: And he does he does beat some ass.
• 30:20
  SPEAKER_02: He does beat some ass.
• 30:21
  SPEAKER_02: So Obi-Wan Kenobi does have the force, though.
• 30:25
  SPEAKER_02: So that that does play a big part, I think, in round one.
• 30:29
  SPEAKER_03: Um but at the end of the day, I think um Dom's family's gonna be watching this fight ringside.
• 30:37
  SPEAKER_03: And he's unfortunately.
• 30:41
  SPEAKER_03: No, he he he he can't get the inspiration of his family here.
• 30:44
  SPEAKER_02: No inspiration of family.
• 30:45
  SPEAKER_02: Okay, so I can't play a family.
• 30:47
  SPEAKER_03: Unless just the memory of his family is enough to inspire him.
• 30:51
  SPEAKER_03: I don't I I'm not gonna give him that.
• 30:53
  SPEAKER_03: So I think Obi-Wan is gonna be.
• 30:56
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah, that's fair.
• 30:57
  SPEAKER_03: I think Obi-Wan is gonna end up uh force choking uh Dom out.
• 31:01
  SPEAKER_03: He's gonna like try to, you know, for family and try to attack him, and Obi-Wan's gonna be like, what the fuck?
• 31:07
  SPEAKER_03: Force choke, and then Dom's done and on one.
• 31:10
  SPEAKER_03: Uh uh that's my my first take on it.
• 31:13
  SPEAKER_03: So um I'll pass it over to you guys from there though.
• 31:17
  SPEAKER_03: And James, what do you think?
• 31:18
  SPEAKER_03: I have a question, Ryan.
• 31:19
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah, you might be able to answer this for me.
• 31:21
  SPEAKER_03: Um in Star Wars.
• 31:24
  SPEAKER_03: Are are Metaclorians do they generate the power that is the force?
• 31:31
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah, they do, they generate the power.
• 31:34
  SPEAKER_00: If we're if we're taking everything into account, um, I mean we're talking about a series that should have ended.
• 31:40
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
• 31:41
  SPEAKER_03: Um, and Metaclorians were were a weird thing.
• 31:45
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
• 31:45
  SPEAKER_00: Um as soon as Metaclorians got involved, there was like a wait, what's happening?
• 31:50
  SPEAKER_00: Um, and then Disney got involved, and the series has just gone to garbage, and it's not even brave to say that anymore.
• 31:58
  SPEAKER_03: Um because because if they so if the metaclorians provide the the power that that fuels the force, then Obi-Wan gets them.
• 32:11
  SPEAKER_03: If they're just receptors for some outside force, Obi-Wan doesn't get them.
• 32:16
  SPEAKER_00: So they turn it into a thing where it's like part of your bloodstream, and you can yeah, and so it's intrinsic.
• 32:21
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, he'll have it.
• 32:22
  SPEAKER_03: Okay, so uh no, so in this round That's all I need to do.
• 32:27
  SPEAKER_03: In this round, because Dom doesn't have the power of family or the power of a car, which from the mini or a wrench, or a wrench, he's always powerful with a wrench.
• 32:39
  SPEAKER_03: That's right.
• 32:41
  SPEAKER_03: He doesn't get he doesn't get a weapon yet, but he is very powerful with working man weapons.
• 32:47
  SPEAKER_00: Um but he uh keep this relatable to the audience.
• 32:52
  SPEAKER_03: What do people hold all day?
• 32:54
  SPEAKER_03: Wrenches and shotguns, guy.
• 32:58
  SPEAKER_03: Wow.
• 32:59
  SPEAKER_03: Alright.
• 33:01
  SPEAKER_03: But um but he doesn't have his family there, he doesn't have a car which he's capable of doing anything with.
• 33:08
  SPEAKER_03: Literally anything is possible if he touches a car, doesn't even have to be inside.
• 33:12
  SPEAKER_03: But he doesn't have a car right now.
• 33:15
  SPEAKER_03: Um he uh I just don't think he can go hand to hand with someone who's like a trained martial artist.
• 33:23
  SPEAKER_03: Although, does theme come up yet?
• 33:24
  SPEAKER_03: Theme doesn't come up because they're in a they're in a box.
• 33:27
  SPEAKER_03: It's come up before.
• 33:28
  SPEAKER_03: I mean we we shouldn't let it.
• 33:29
  SPEAKER_03: We should restrict theme coming up in the first round.
• 33:31
  SPEAKER_00: But theme is pretty in, I feel is pretty you know, part of them.
• 33:35
  SPEAKER_03: Not when you're just stacking up their powers.
• 33:38
  SPEAKER_03: This is this is just their powers in a box.
• 33:40
  SPEAKER_03: I think we should I think we should make it a hard rule that theme does not come up in first round.
• 33:45
  SPEAKER_00: Well, so but that'll go against some earlier episodes.
• 33:48
  SPEAKER_00: I mean, when I know, but too bad.
• 33:49
  SPEAKER_00: Too bad.
• 33:50
  SPEAKER_03: Like the theory.
• 33:51
  SPEAKER_03: We're moving forward, no past.
• 33:52
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah, we're moving forward.
• 33:53
  SPEAKER_03: We don't have to we don't have to be slaves to the past here.
• 33:56
  SPEAKER_03: I think this would be a I think this would be.
• 33:57
  SPEAKER_03: Austin Powers would be pissed.
• 33:58
  SPEAKER_03: I think this would be a good refinement.
• 34:00
  SPEAKER_03: No, Austin Powers has the actual judo chop power.
• 34:03
  SPEAKER_03: He has the actual judo chop power that literally knocks people out.
• 34:07
  SPEAKER_00: Well, the reason why I bring it up is because his theme was defeated in round one by it.
• 34:11
  SPEAKER_00: And now this is early high and dry podcast where Jared from Subway, dressed as Pennywise the Clown, beat the fuck out of Michael Myers.
• 34:21
  SPEAKER_03: Who cares?
• 34:21
  SPEAKER_03: He won he won in the long run.
• 34:23
  SPEAKER_03: So that's the most important.
• 34:24
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, Austin Powers did just take our tournament.
• 34:26
  SPEAKER_00: Congratulations, Mr.
• 34:27
  SPEAKER_00: Powers.
• 34:32
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, we're still waiting to hear back from the from Hollywood, basically.
• 34:36
  SPEAKER_00: We're trying to make that Austin Powers for a movie where he goes to Derry Main.
• 34:41
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
• 34:42
  SPEAKER_00: It'll happen.
• 34:42
  SPEAKER_00: It'll happen.
• 34:43
  SPEAKER_00: Austin Powers 8.
• 34:44
  SPEAKER_00: Um, now so I I would say the only thing I I would have to say differently from you guys is that Obi-Wan isn't going to use a force choke.
• 34:53
  SPEAKER_00: That's a dark side move.
• 34:54
  SPEAKER_03: I don't think he's gonna force choke him.
• 34:55
  SPEAKER_03: I didn't did I say force choke, Luke.
• 34:57
  SPEAKER_03: No, I didn't know.
• 35:00
  SPEAKER_02: He's a trained martial artist.
• 35:02
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, that is also true.
• 35:04
  SPEAKER_00: Um so I I think that we have an Obi-Wan Kenobi who just beats the fuck out of a guy.
• 35:10
  SPEAKER_00: Um yeah.
• 35:11
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 35:12
  SPEAKER_00: I think you could force push him and stuff.
• 35:14
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah, oh, he'll force push him all day.
• 35:16
  SPEAKER_03: Force hold him, force tickle, maybe.
• 35:19
  SPEAKER_03: A little force tickle.
• 35:20
  SPEAKER_03: A little force tickle.
• 35:21
  SPEAKER_03: Maybe he'll use his mind control on him.
• 35:23
  SPEAKER_03: It's just Jimmy's with the groping.
• 35:25
  SPEAKER_03: Just saying.
• 35:26
  SPEAKER_03: You don't want to fight me.
• 35:31
  SPEAKER_03: I want to get groped by him.
• 35:32
  SPEAKER_03: You're my family, you're my family, Dom.
• 35:34
  SPEAKER_03: Oh, and then it's over from there.
• 35:36
  SPEAKER_03: Dom Dom is now a slave.
• 35:39
  SPEAKER_03: He's now a slave to Obi-Wan.
• 35:41
  SPEAKER_03: He's now a slave to Obi-Wan.
• 35:47
  SPEAKER_03: No matter what Obi-Wan does to him, he will feel the intense loyalty of a family bond to him.
• 35:55
  SPEAKER_03: No matter how many times he hurts him.
• 35:59
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, yeah.
• 36:00
  SPEAKER_00: No, and I mean the movies were made for people who have taken a little abuse from families.
• 36:06
  SPEAKER_03: I mean, I feel that's yes, I really normalizes family abuse.
• 36:11
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
• 36:11
  SPEAKER_03: Familial abuse.
• 36:13
  SPEAKER_03: Really like emotionally charged dramatic situations where like I feel like it's where the shit is normal at a dinner time.
• 36:20
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah, well, very normalized.
• 36:21
  SPEAKER_03: It's actually, you know, if anyone out there is listening and you like have fights with your family all the time, and um, you know, your family feel like your family is really terrible to you, they might be actually.
• 36:32
  SPEAKER_03: Like, that's it's it's really weird.
• 36:34
  SPEAKER_03: I had just had to confront this.
• 36:36
  SPEAKER_03: That my family was like real bad.
• 36:38
  SPEAKER_03: Like, not all families were I learned that not all families were like my family.
• 36:42
  SPEAKER_03: And uh it really sucked.
• 36:45
  SPEAKER_03: Like, if you're out there and your family's like that, you can totally get out of there and people are different.
• 36:50
  SPEAKER_03: They're not all like that.
• 36:52
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, like wait a minute, wait.
• 36:54
  SPEAKER_02: Don't don't make that the normal.
• 36:56
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah, don't let them tell you that that's how normal people live.
• 36:59
  SPEAKER_03: If you feel like anxious all the time because your family's shitty to you.
• 37:02
  SPEAKER_00: Just hold up.
• 37:02
  SPEAKER_00: I'm having dinner and no one is screaming.
• 37:04
  SPEAKER_00: What's going on?
• 37:05
  SPEAKER_03: Yo, seriously, I uh I'm that's real.
• 37:08
  SPEAKER_03: Uh people I've felt like that.
• 37:10
  SPEAKER_03: So yeah, yeah.
• 37:12
  SPEAKER_03: Just a PSA.
• 37:14
  SPEAKER_03: Get help however you can.
• 37:15
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah, for sure.
• 37:16
  SPEAKER_03: Get out of there if you live in a super bad environment, even if they're family, don't let them guilt you into being abused.
• 37:22
  SPEAKER_00: And you know, and I think what that really says is uh Obi-Wan wins.
• 37:26
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
• 37:26
  SPEAKER_03: So is that Dom is totally being he's able to be guilted into being abused.
• 37:31
  SPEAKER_03: Yep.
• 37:31
  SPEAKER_03: LOL.
• 37:33
  SPEAKER_03: And Obi-Wan wins.
• 37:35
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 37:35
  SPEAKER_00: Obi-Wan turns him into family and then abuses him.
• 37:38
  SPEAKER_00: So round two.
• 37:39
  SPEAKER_03: Welcome to the club, Dom.
• 37:43
  SPEAKER_00: Round two, we've just stepped out into the City View.
• 37:46
  SPEAKER_00: We've left the Gen X Fight Club bar, and now it's time for these characters to get everything that they have.
• 37:52
  SPEAKER_00: Dom has the value of family.
• 37:56
  SPEAKER_00: Um, he could look at pictures and shit of his family.
• 37:58
  SPEAKER_03: Oh, if he can have a picture.
• 38:01
  SPEAKER_03: He has a car, a shotgun, and a wrench.
• 38:03
  SPEAKER_03: Um he has like a video.
• 38:05
  SPEAKER_03: Can you have like a video on his phone?
• 38:07
  SPEAKER_03: Well, I think John Wick when they were so he can just have a picture of them like standing in front of a car when they were kids.
• 38:16
  SPEAKER_03: Like uh if he has a if he has a picture of them standing in front of a car when they were kids, he's unstoppable.
• 38:22
  SPEAKER_02: Unstoppable.
• 38:23
  SPEAKER_02: Absolutely unstoppable.
• 38:26
  SPEAKER_00: But meanwhile, Obi-Wan Kenobi has a lightsaber now and uh fucking space fighters.
• 38:33
  SPEAKER_00: So doesn't matter.
• 38:35
  SPEAKER_00: He has a picture, he'll just look at it.
• 38:40
  SPEAKER_03: And beat Obi-Wan to death with a random and also be an international super spy, but also super working class.
• 38:49
  SPEAKER_00: Super working class, but being international, yeah, super spy.
• 38:52
  SPEAKER_00: That's because that's how it works.
• 38:53
  SPEAKER_00: That's how that works.
• 38:54
  SPEAKER_00: Obviously.
• 38:55
  SPEAKER_00: We've yeah, we've seen that over the past several decades for sure.
• 39:00
  SPEAKER_00: Now, anyway, so round two has just begun.
• 39:03
  SPEAKER_00: 24 hours, full city, pictures of family and lightsabers.
• 39:08
  SPEAKER_00: Luke, you're up first.
• 39:09
  SPEAKER_00: What happens?
• 39:10
  SPEAKER_03: So from round one to round two, Obi-Wan does not upgrade that much.
• 39:16
  SPEAKER_03: Uh, he does gain a ship, a starfighter, um, and he does gain a lightsaber.
• 39:21
  SPEAKER_03: That that is true.
• 39:22
  SPEAKER_03: Um, but unfortunately, Dom's upgrade in comparison is just is just his is nothing.
• 39:29
  SPEAKER_03: You know, Dom is gonna get a picture of his family.
• 39:32
  SPEAKER_03: He's gonna get a picture of his family.
• 39:34
  SPEAKER_03: He's gonna be able to be driven by that.
• 39:37
  SPEAKER_03: And as we know, in in time and time again, I've seen meme culture come into the high and dry podcast.
• 39:44
  SPEAKER_03: Domin's overpowering family uh prowess is uh I think gonna overcome Obi-Wan in round two.
• 39:53
  SPEAKER_03: Um, and I think Dominic Toretto is gonna uh be able to find a way to beat Obi-Wan with a wrench in and win round two.
• 40:01
  SPEAKER_03: Probably specifically.
• 40:03
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, specifically Dominic he's gonna beat him with a wrench.
• 40:06
  SPEAKER_03: Uh or he's actually uh in my head, I picture him like knocking the lightsaber out of Obi-Wan's hand.
• 40:12
  SPEAKER_03: He can't figure out how to turn it on and just kind of beats the shit out of Obi-Wan with a handle, and then like that's that's how he wins.
• 40:19
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 40:22
  unknown: I can't.
• 40:23
  SPEAKER_00: There's no really flaw in that logic, but I mean yeah, I know, it's airtight, really.
• 40:28
  SPEAKER_00: And and Obi-Wan is traditionally not so good on the family department.
• 40:33
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
• 40:33
  SPEAKER_03: He not great at the families.
• 40:35
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, he's just scoping out this little boy from the outskirts of a desert.
• 40:39
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
• 40:40
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah, and he and he has no remorse either.
• 40:42
  SPEAKER_03: He's coming in there, he's gonna say something quirky to him about like, you know, fuck your family type of thing.
• 40:48
  SPEAKER_03: Um, but you know, more clever than that, and then you know, Dom's gonna it's gonna be over.
• 40:53
  SPEAKER_03: He's gonna be even more driven.
• 40:55
  SPEAKER_03: Dom's just gonna say, I have Dom's gonna say, 'Look at my family', and Obi-Wan's gonna be crushed.
• 41:01
  SPEAKER_03: Because of how much he's gonna be able to do it.
• 41:02
  SPEAKER_03: Doesn't even have to touch him.
• 41:04
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
• 41:05
  SPEAKER_02: Um look at you, you have no one.
• 41:08
  SPEAKER_03: I I I would I would be remiss if I didn't bring up that Dom hits Obi-Wan with a car at some point.
• 41:15
  SPEAKER_00: I think that it's not a no defense of Obi-Wan, it's just, well, I think Dom would also I think he would also hit Obi-Wan with a car.
• 41:24
  SPEAKER_03: I think that uh he would he would he would slide a car into Obi-Wan, and Obi-Wan would come through the window, and then they'd have to fight with Obi-Wan hanging uh halfway out the window.
• 41:37
  SPEAKER_03: Um, and then Dom would crash his car into a helicopter with Obi-Wan.
• 41:45
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah, and he would be run.
• 41:50
  SPEAKER_03: Even though if we didn't see it, so that's fine.
• 41:54
  SPEAKER_00: There was a parachute under his seat.
• 41:55
  SPEAKER_00: From from my side, the only thing I would say is what if Obi-Wan convinces Dom that he's family?
• 42:04
  SPEAKER_03: Again.
• 42:04
  SPEAKER_03: No, he has a picture of his actual family.
• 42:06
  SPEAKER_03: There's there's but like there's there's refutable proof.
• 42:09
  SPEAKER_00: Like, what if they like well what if Obi-Wan tricks him to fighting in an Olive Garden?
• 42:13
  SPEAKER_03: Okay.
• 42:14
  SPEAKER_00: Where you're here, your family.
• 42:15
  SPEAKER_03: Oh, you say he like starts a screaming match at an olive garden?
• 42:18
  SPEAKER_03: Yes.
• 42:19
  SPEAKER_00: Oh, so you're going to real family now, which obviously has happened to Dom.
• 42:24
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah, that only happens to family.
• 42:26
  SPEAKER_00: And so he's got him there, and then he actually uses the force to convince him further that he's family.
• 42:38
  SPEAKER_00: What then?
• 42:39
  SPEAKER_00: Uh Luke, final thoughts in a vote.
• 42:41
  SPEAKER_02: Unfortunately, I think uh, like James said, the picture is gonna be enough for Dom to go.
• 42:47
  SPEAKER_02: He he'll get confused.
• 42:48
  SPEAKER_03: I think he might.
• 42:49
  SPEAKER_03: He almost he almost gets confused.
• 42:51
  SPEAKER_03: He's gonna get confused.
• 42:53
  SPEAKER_03: And then he's gonna look down at that picture and go, You're not my family.
• 42:56
  SPEAKER_03: Realize the enemy and destroy him with the beat him to death with a wrench and an olive garden.
• 43:03
  SPEAKER_03: And then that's how it's gonna go.
• 43:04
  SPEAKER_03: So unfortunately, I still think Dom is just gonna take round two.
• 43:08
  SPEAKER_00: Alright.
• 43:09
  SPEAKER_00: Well, Disney, don't get any ideas.
• 43:11
  SPEAKER_00: If if you all of a sudden you film Obi-Wan getting beat with a wrench and an olive garden.
• 43:18
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 43:20
  SPEAKER_00: Um, James.
• 43:23
  SPEAKER_03: Oh man, this is real tough.
• 43:25
  SPEAKER_03: Uh, because yeah, I do see them driving, them driving for Obi Wan.
• 43:31
  SPEAKER_03: I don't know.
• 43:31
  SPEAKER_03: What would Obi-Wan manipulate him to do, though?
• 43:34
  SPEAKER_03: See, that's the thing.
• 43:35
  SPEAKER_03: I don't know.
• 43:36
  SPEAKER_03: See, I think that I think manipulating Dom is gonna come into round two.
• 43:40
  SPEAKER_03: I or round three, sorry, round three.
• 43:42
  SPEAKER_03: I think it's gonna come into round three when he has like a partner.
• 43:45
  SPEAKER_03: He's gonna that's when Obi-Wan's gonna like try to confuse Dom to destroy his partner or something like that.
• 43:51
  SPEAKER_03: Okay.
• 43:52
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah, uh, I'm gonna say Dom gets him in this round, hits him with a car, it's gonna be great.
• 43:58
  SPEAKER_03: There's so so what happens is he drives a car at Obi Wan Kenobi, and Obi Wan Kenobi has his lightsaber and he cuts the car in half and he's safe, right?
• 44:07
  SPEAKER_03: But then another car comes out from the other direction.
• 44:12
  SPEAKER_00: With Dom in it.
• 44:15
  SPEAKER_03: Because that's that's the furious no, it's ludicrous somehow in the next book.
• 44:21
  SPEAKER_03: He doesn't get ludicrous until round three.
• 44:23
  SPEAKER_03: He doesn't get ludicrous.
• 44:24
  SPEAKER_03: Maybe this doesn't work without two people.
• 44:26
  SPEAKER_03: I don't know.
• 44:26
  SPEAKER_03: I think I actually have to give it to Obi-Wan.
• 44:28
  SPEAKER_03: I don't think uh I don't think Dom gets it this round.
• 44:31
  SPEAKER_03: I think that it goes to Obi-Wan.
• 44:34
  SPEAKER_00: Okay.
• 44:34
  SPEAKER_03: Um I do.
• 44:35
  SPEAKER_03: Because I think he needs another person.
• 44:37
  SPEAKER_03: He needs more than one car.
• 44:40
  SPEAKER_00: Well, for me, I think uh this is definitely going down in an olive garden.
• 44:45
  SPEAKER_00: For sure.
• 44:46
  SPEAKER_00: For sure.
• 44:47
  SPEAKER_03: They'll move to the parking lot eventually, but it starts in the restaurant as well.
• 44:50
  SPEAKER_00: Well, because that's where the cars are.
• 44:51
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 44:52
  SPEAKER_00: Um and I mean, because I was gonna say that Obi-Wan has a lizard that he rides on, but he can't get that even.
• 45:00
  SPEAKER_00: No.
• 45:00
  SPEAKER_00: And because that's a living being, so he's gonna have a spaceship instead.
• 45:04
  SPEAKER_00: Um his family.
• 45:10
  SPEAKER_00: So he only has a picture of his family.
• 45:13
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
• 45:13
  SPEAKER_03: He doesn't have his actual family.
• 45:15
  SPEAKER_03: I don't know.
• 45:16
  SPEAKER_03: That's a tough call.
• 45:17
  SPEAKER_03: That's up to you, though.
• 45:18
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 45:18
  SPEAKER_03: You're gonna be the desire.
• 45:23
  SPEAKER_00: I'm gonna have to say, God, viewers on Twitch, I I wish you'd chime in and tell me who wins between Dom and Obi-Wan Kenobi.
• 45:32
  SPEAKER_00: Um, I'm gonna What would Pole Pot say?
• 45:36
  SPEAKER_00: What would Pol Pot say?
• 45:37
  SPEAKER_00: Um Poll Pot Kill them all.
• 45:41
  SPEAKER_00: So they both die.
• 45:43
  SPEAKER_00: Um, I would say um all right.
• 45:47
  SPEAKER_00: So the only thing I know that this is happening in an olive garden, and I'm gonna say that even with I mean, so what was the deal with that one where Dom was kind of evil for a second now that they're getting like really involved in the government?
• 46:02
  SPEAKER_03: He was uh d was Dom evil or was he like playing the Long Con?
• 46:07
  SPEAKER_03: I think they were I think he was of his hero con or something.
• 46:10
  SPEAKER_03: I think he had a long con thing.
• 46:12
  SPEAKER_00: So dumb.
• 46:13
  SPEAKER_00: Um so dumb.
• 46:16
  SPEAKER_00: It's so boring.
• 46:17
  SPEAKER_00: But I can't you honestly you can't say anything better about Star Wars right now.
• 46:20
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, I know.
• 46:21
  SPEAKER_00: You know, um so and that being the case, if we were strictly talking about um New Hope, Empire Strikes Back, um, all them, and then maybe um the second movie of the prequels, I would say Obi-Wan.
• 46:38
  SPEAKER_00: But we're talking about a lot of shit that happened there with Obi.
• 46:42
  SPEAKER_00: And uh I'm gonna have to give it to Dom.
• 46:45
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, I think that uh Dom will beat him to death with a wrench on the Olive Garden Bar.
• 46:51
  SPEAKER_03: No, it's on his car.
• 46:53
  SPEAKER_03: On his car, um, where he's serving breadsticks and he drove his car into the spaceship and killed him in the spaceship.
• 47:00
  SPEAKER_02: He ramped another car into the spaceship and he just survived.
• 47:05
  SPEAKER_03: He he actually came launching through the windshield to kill Obi-Wan with the wrench.
• 47:10
  SPEAKER_00: Well, no, so it'll all explode.
• 47:12
  SPEAKER_00: Everything will explode.
• 47:13
  SPEAKER_00: We think they'll both dead, but then Dom shows up to his own funeral.
• 47:19
  SPEAKER_02: I'm still I had the power of failure driving me.
• 47:24
  SPEAKER_02: Um, I couldn't die on you, Gnosis.
• 47:28
  SPEAKER_00: Which brings us into round three.
• 47:30
  SPEAKER_00: So round three three is the same thing as round two, except this time they get to bring a friend.
• 47:35
  SPEAKER_03: Well, fucking he gets his actual family, he's unbeatable now.
• 47:40
  SPEAKER_00: But Obi-Wan is bringing some people too.
• 47:43
  SPEAKER_03: Like Jar Jar?
• 47:44
  SPEAKER_03: Come on.
• 47:45
  SPEAKER_00: No, like Luke Skywalker or Darth Vader.
• 47:49
  SPEAKER_00: He wouldn't team up with Darth Vader.
• 47:51
  SPEAKER_00: I mean well, Luke, Luke.
• 47:54
  SPEAKER_00: I mean, for in in Obi-Wan's strongest, he was teamed directly with Darth Vader.
• 48:02
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
• 48:03
  SPEAKER_00: Was that his strongest?
• 48:04
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah, that was his strongest point.
• 48:05
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah, he he was at his peak.
• 48:07
  SPEAKER_02: He was literally a Jedi master who was training someone to become the strongest Jedi to ever live.
• 48:13
  SPEAKER_00: So which he did fuck up.
• 48:15
  SPEAKER_02: He did fuck up royally.
• 48:18
  SPEAKER_03: He actually died.
• 48:19
  SPEAKER_03: He died in the process of starting.
• 48:21
  SPEAKER_00: But then he came back because you know we're not, you know, we were allowed to change.
• 48:25
  SPEAKER_00: You know, we're we're not a scorpion in a Navajo fable.
• 48:28
  SPEAKER_03: We can change.
• 48:29
  SPEAKER_03: So he has to be the if here if he gets to be the Force Ghost, he has to be the Force Ghost the whole time.
• 48:35
  SPEAKER_03: Well, no, it's that level of Obi-Wan.
• 48:37
  SPEAKER_03: He has if he if if the idea is that he has no corporeal form because he No, that's not what I'm saying.
• 48:43
  SPEAKER_00: I'm saying that he he's either young Ewan McGregor with teamed up with Darth Vader, or he's the desert pervert spying on the boy who puts in motion the balancing of the force in the universe.
• 48:59
  SPEAKER_03: Interesting.
• 49:02
  SPEAKER_03: Luke, thoughts?
• 49:03
  SPEAKER_03: So I think that Obi-Wan is going to bring Darth Vader.
• 49:08
  SPEAKER_03: Um so well uh apologize to cut you guys in.
• 49:12
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, but Jeff over on our Twitch stream says, What if Obi-Wan has the high ground?
• 49:20
  SPEAKER_02: That does.
• 49:22
  SPEAKER_03: I did not, I did not I did not think about the high ground.
• 49:28
  SPEAKER_03: I did not think about the high ground then uh uh Okay, no, no.
• 49:35
  SPEAKER_03: Those movies, those fucking movies, man.
• 49:37
  SPEAKER_03: Family versus high ground.
• 49:39
  SPEAKER_03: So at one point we saw what Obi-Wan could do to Anakin Skywalker with the high ground.
• 49:44
  SPEAKER_03: So now picture Obi-Wan and Anakin.
• 49:47
  SPEAKER_03: They potentially have the high ground.
• 49:50
  SPEAKER_00: Um has his whole family.
• 49:55
  SPEAKER_03: He can only bring one, right?
• 49:57
  SPEAKER_03: Or is it so he brings his sister, that's the most powerful.
• 49:59
  SPEAKER_03: Obviously, his sister.
• 50:00
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah, it's the most powerful bond.
• 50:02
  SPEAKER_03: He needs that power.
• 50:03
  SPEAKER_03: He's not looking for uh he's not looking for a sidekick to bring you know fight with him, really.
• 50:09
  SPEAKER_03: He's just looking for a source of power.
• 50:11
  SPEAKER_03: So he brings the sister, he's he's at his highest peak of power.
• 50:15
  SPEAKER_03: But even then, I think if Obi-Wan and Anakin Skywalker can get the high ground, like Jeff has said, you know, that becomes that's Obi-Wan's like OP.
• 50:25
  SPEAKER_03: You know, that that is where Obi-Wan is his strongest, is in the high ground.
• 50:30
  SPEAKER_00: So um Well, I'm scared to go here.
• 50:32
  SPEAKER_00: Okay.
• 50:33
  SPEAKER_03: I did want to say what I had I need to hear what you guys have to say before my final decision, but that's kind of my first thoughts.
• 50:39
  SPEAKER_03: Well, what if Dom brings Paul Walker?
• 50:42
  SPEAKER_03: No, Dom wasn't strong enough when Paul when Paul Walker was alive.
• 50:45
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, at that I mean that's when they thought it was gonna be a one-off where you know Vin Diesel was just a bad guy and that was the end of it.
• 50:52
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 50:52
  SPEAKER_03: Well also, another thought, Dom could bring The Rock.
• 50:57
  SPEAKER_03: They've teamed up in some of the later movies.
• 51:00
  SPEAKER_03: He has like a grenade launcher and shit.
• 51:02
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, he's like this psycho like bounty hunter cop like military dude.
• 51:08
  SPEAKER_03: It's the rock.
• 51:08
  SPEAKER_03: You know, now that's like the product of our military industrial complex leading into our police forces.
• 51:14
  SPEAKER_03: Literally.
• 51:15
  SPEAKER_03: And then and then into private, and then from police forces into private hands.
• 51:19
  SPEAKER_03: And then we cheer for it.
• 51:20
  SPEAKER_03: He's like, he's like the personification of that.
• 51:23
  SPEAKER_03: The military industrial complex going to the private sector.
• 51:27
  SPEAKER_03: Holy shit.
• 51:28
  SPEAKER_03: So he is a very strong ally.
• 51:32
  SPEAKER_03: So that might be actually who Dom brings.
• 51:34
  SPEAKER_03: He's gonna say, I need you for this one.
• 51:36
  SPEAKER_03: I'm literally fighting a Jedi.
• 51:40
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, they do the Roman handshake because they're yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 51:44
  SPEAKER_00: Um, well, shit, man.
• 51:45
  SPEAKER_00: James thoughts?
• 51:46
  SPEAKER_00: Fuck.
• 51:47
  SPEAKER_03: Oh my god.
• 51:48
  SPEAKER_03: Can Obi-Wan and can Obi-Wan and Anakin stand up to American imperialism?
• 51:55
  SPEAKER_03: Because the Empire was scary, but you know what's scarier?
• 51:59
  SPEAKER_03: The United Fucking States of America.
• 52:01
  SPEAKER_00: Well, it's just like fucking clear as day being Palpatine.
• 52:07
  SPEAKER_00: They take him down.
• 52:08
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, that's true.
• 52:09
  SPEAKER_00: They do.
• 52:10
  SPEAKER_00: So Obi-Wan might have to bring Luke.
• 52:13
  SPEAKER_02: Because Luke will eventually resolution at the end of the day.
• 52:19
  SPEAKER_03: If he brings Luke, he has to be the force ghost to me.
• 52:22
  SPEAKER_03: To me, he has to already be the force ghost if he's gonna, if he's gonna, if Luke's gonna succeed.
• 52:27
  SPEAKER_03: And Luke has to do this all on his own.
• 52:29
  SPEAKER_03: He has to do it all on his own, but with the inspiration of his mentor speaking to him from across the ether.
• 52:37
  SPEAKER_03: Which was super powerful.
• 52:39
  SPEAKER_03: That was super powerful.
• 52:40
  SPEAKER_00: Luke killed at least two million people when he destroyed the Death Star.
• 52:45
  SPEAKER_04: Impressive.
• 52:47
  SPEAKER_04: Impressive.
• 52:48
  SPEAKER_00: Uh, you know, I mean, you think of all the the barber.
• 52:51
  SPEAKER_03: He destroyed two cafeteria workers and you know, um all those droids.
• 52:57
  SPEAKER_03: They count as people.
• 52:58
  SPEAKER_03: We've seen that they are people.
• 53:00
  SPEAKER_03: Oh, yeah.
• 53:01
  SPEAKER_03: You know, they have emotions.
• 53:02
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah, they have emotions.
• 53:04
  SPEAKER_03: Um killed all those droids too.
• 53:06
  SPEAKER_03: I whenever they kill a droid, I'm real sad in the Star Wars.
• 53:09
  SPEAKER_03: It's like they just throw them to the side and I'm like, you motherfuckers, you showed us they feel.
• 53:12
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, right.
• 53:13
  SPEAKER_00: We know they feel.
• 53:14
  SPEAKER_00: God damn it.
• 53:15
  SPEAKER_00: Um yeah.
• 53:16
  SPEAKER_00: Well, well, James, how well uh what are your thoughts then?
• 53:19
  SPEAKER_03: I mean um if they so Luke has gone up against um big machines before.
• 53:36
  SPEAKER_03: So so like he's been attacked with like vehicle-sized artillery, he's been yeah, he's been attacked by vehicles and vehicle-sized artillery, grenades and rockets and la well lasers.
• 53:48
  SPEAKER_03: I don't know how he'd fare against rockets, honestly, but he does really well against lasers, which I'm gonna lose lasers, yeah.
• 53:54
  SPEAKER_03: Are like m more dangerous.
• 53:57
  SPEAKER_03: Um I feel like a rocket's slower than a laser, so I feel like he's just gonna kind of step out of the way of rockets.
• 54:03
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah, I feel like he'd be okay against rockets if since he's okay against lasers.
• 54:07
  SPEAKER_03: Um so I don't know.
• 54:10
  SPEAKER_03: I I think in that case, Luke wins because Luke has the hero's arc.
• 54:13
  SPEAKER_03: Um, you know, if this becomes if this becomes Obi-Wan's vendetta that Luke has to inherit, then Luke wins that story.
• 54:25
  SPEAKER_03: Luke fucking wins that story.
• 54:26
  SPEAKER_00: I mean, if we're assuming that Obi-Wan is a timeless sandworm, which he was.
• 54:31
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
• 54:31
  SPEAKER_03: He was a timeless sandworm who passed his legacy of failure on to Luke to try to get him to solve it.
• 54:39
  SPEAKER_03: Which he did, thankfully.
• 54:40
  SPEAKER_02: He literally sat in the desert and just waited for Luke to come along and be like, yeah, man, you need to figure this shit out.
• 54:45
  SPEAKER_02: I it's not happening.
• 54:47
  SPEAKER_03: Dude, holy shit, he did.
• 54:49
  SPEAKER_03: And and then he and then he technically didn't do it because they forced him to be the timeless sandworm in the next series of movies to fucking Ray, like kicking this fucking can down the road in Joe.
• 55:04
  SPEAKER_00: They're all timeless sandworms.
• 55:06
  SPEAKER_00: God damn it.
• 55:07
  SPEAKER_00: Um fuck, man.
• 55:10
  SPEAKER_00: And then you have fucking uh but he wins that story.
• 55:13
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah, he does win that story.
• 55:14
  SPEAKER_03: There's there will be future ramifications, but he does win that story when he inherits it from Obi-Wan.
• 55:22
  SPEAKER_02: I agree, I would agree with that.
• 55:24
  SPEAKER_00: Okay, and then for me, I I would say that Dom's bringing Luda.
• 55:29
  SPEAKER_00: Luda.
• 55:30
  SPEAKER_03: Just for entertainment, just for entertainment purpose.
• 55:32
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah, because he's not gonna win, so it might as well be.
• 55:34
  SPEAKER_00: Well, I think that Luda's gonna show up as Darth Maul.
• 55:38
  SPEAKER_03: He's gonna just show up in Darth Maul cosplay.
• 55:40
  SPEAKER_00: Without a doubt.
• 55:43
  SPEAKER_03: I just wanted to make him mad before they kill us.
• 55:46
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 55:47
  SPEAKER_00: Easily.
• 55:48
  SPEAKER_00: Um easily.
• 55:49
  SPEAKER_00: Um, but then I think at the end of the day.
• 55:59
  SPEAKER_03: Uh Obi-Wan's like, use my friend against me.
• 56:04
  SPEAKER_00: Um, but uh but then I I think what we'll see here.
• 56:06
  SPEAKER_00: I mean, if if we bring Luke, Obi is older.
• 56:10
  SPEAKER_00: Alright, I'm gonna offer one more option.
• 56:15
  SPEAKER_00: Obi-Wan's bringing Luke.
• 56:17
  SPEAKER_00: Luke has the hero arc, he has all that fun stuff.
• 56:20
  SPEAKER_00: Um, I think that um Dom will bring Riddick.
• 56:27
  SPEAKER_00: He can't.
• 56:29
  SPEAKER_00: No.
• 56:29
  SPEAKER_00: He doesn't get to.
• 56:31
  SPEAKER_00: I think he definitely will.
• 56:32
  SPEAKER_00: No.
• 56:33
  SPEAKER_00: Because Dom is Vin Diesel.
• 56:34
  SPEAKER_00: You call him Vin Diesel before you call him Dom.
• 56:36
  SPEAKER_00: And he fucking took out a second mortgage on his house to finish those Riddick movies.
• 56:40
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah, but he's not real, that's not really Vin Diesel.
• 56:43
  SPEAKER_03: Vin Diesel's a D nerd.
• 56:44
  SPEAKER_03: He's not actually Super Spy Dom man.
• 56:48
  SPEAKER_03: So if he's do not let the blue-collar viewers hear that.
• 56:52
  SPEAKER_03: Super spy, but I work on my own cars because I'm because I came from I came from the streets, motherfucker.
• 56:59
  SPEAKER_03: I don't know.
• 56:59
  SPEAKER_03: It's Terra Luna's here.
• 57:01
  SPEAKER_03: It's fucking it's so dumb.
• 57:03
  SPEAKER_03: It's such a dumb series.
• 57:04
  SPEAKER_00: It's a dumb series.
• 57:05
  SPEAKER_00: God damn it.
• 57:06
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, no, I never realized that they're they're literally making us jack off to our own income bracket.
• 57:15
  SPEAKER_00: I Luke, let's get your final thoughts.
• 57:21
  SPEAKER_00: And a vote.
• 57:23
  SPEAKER_03: Alright, final thoughts.
• 57:25
  SPEAKER_03: I think uh I'm seeing now an older Obi-Wan and Luke.
• 57:28
  SPEAKER_03: Like you guys said, Luke is literally like all powerful, you know, um, at the end of the day.
• 57:33
  SPEAKER_02: His hero, his heroism, his hero arc is is very, very powerful.
• 57:37
  SPEAKER_02: Um, and I think uh Dominic and The Rock are gonna be paired up.
• 57:43
  SPEAKER_03: I think that's who's gonna uh come into this.
• 57:45
  SPEAKER_03: They're gonna come in shit hot, um, not realizing Luke has a uh a vendetta to to to overcome or to accomplish.
• 57:54
  SPEAKER_03: So uh he it's gonna go to Luke and Obi-Wan, um, I think in the end.
• 57:59
  SPEAKER_03: So Obi-Wan is gonna take round three.
• 58:03
  SPEAKER_03: I like that analysis.
• 58:05
  SPEAKER_03: I think that's a good analysis.
• 58:07
  SPEAKER_03: I had a thought.
• 58:08
  SPEAKER_03: This is just this might be going too far.
• 58:11
  SPEAKER_03: Uh probably.
• 58:12
  SPEAKER_03: Uh so if Dom comes with the rock, right?
• 58:17
  SPEAKER_03: I don't think I don't think Dom can die.
• 58:19
  SPEAKER_03: So I think if Dom comes with the Rock, I think I think in some version in some versions of this fight, Obi-Wan sends he wins, but only because the Fast and the Furious people are left fleeing with their tails between their legs because they have a next movie.
• 58:35
  SPEAKER_03: But that's the problem.
• 58:36
  SPEAKER_03: No, no, no.
• 58:37
  SPEAKER_00: They gotta survive for the next movie.
• 58:39
  SPEAKER_03: They survive for the next movie, but if the next movie starts and they're still alive, guess what happens to fucking Obi-Wan and his legacy in the next movie?
• 58:48
  SPEAKER_03: He fucking dies too.
• 58:49
  SPEAKER_03: Do they rope Rey into it?
• 58:51
  SPEAKER_03: Is this is this fucking is are the Fast and Furious guys Rey's problem now?
• 58:55
  SPEAKER_03: Because probably uh they get multiple movies to like work out their stories.
• 59:01
  SPEAKER_03: And uh well, I guess they I guess Obi-Wan did too.
• 59:05
  SPEAKER_03: He got three movies, but they have way more Fast and the Furious movies than the ones Obi was in.
• 59:09
  SPEAKER_03: They will figure it out no matter what in those Fast and the Furious movies at some point.
• 59:13
  SPEAKER_03: It'll take nine fucking movies for them to solve it, but they'll fucking solve it.
• 59:17
  SPEAKER_03: That's true for Disney too, though.
• 59:19
  SPEAKER_03: Uh that's true.
• 59:20
  SPEAKER_03: It there's a resolution, but no, but they keep stringing it out.
• 59:23
  SPEAKER_03: I I don't know.
• 59:24
  SPEAKER_03: It I guess it's the I guess maybe they're both stringing it out.
• 59:27
  SPEAKER_00: Well, it's because well Disney refuses uh I mean just Star Wars in general, we refuse to leave this era um of the this Luke era.
• 59:37
  SPEAKER_00: But I mean for me, I think that he's gonna bring Ludacris, but you won't give me Riddick, so he's gonna bring Ludacris off the word of mouth album.
• 59:45
  SPEAKER_03: Okay.
• 59:46
  SPEAKER_00: You know the man, okay.
• 59:47
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 59:48
  SPEAKER_03: Um he brings he brings Ludacris with big hands from that music video.
• 59:51
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 59:52
  SPEAKER_00: Okay, okay.
• 59:54
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, um, but if um but I think what we'll see there is like this super hardcore epic fight, and they're fighting down to the last, worlds are destroyed.
• 1:00:07
  SPEAKER_00: You know, Luda's picking tracks off of word of mouth.
• 1:00:11
  SPEAKER_04: Move, bitch.
• 1:00:12
  SPEAKER_00: I mean, because if Luda can tell them to move, they do.
• 1:00:16
  SPEAKER_00: But I think eventually Luda's gonna move them to the high ground.
• 1:00:20
  SPEAKER_02: There you go.
• 1:00:21
  SPEAKER_00: And that's when it's gonna finally end right there.
• 1:00:25
  SPEAKER_00: And you're gonna see an older Obi-Wan be reminded what it's like to be on the high ground, and he's gonna take them out.
• 1:00:35
  SPEAKER_00: So if I'm uh getting this correctly, that's Obi-Wan for the win.
• 1:00:41
  SPEAKER_03: Congratulations, Obi-Wan.
• 1:00:42
  SPEAKER_03: Thank God.
• 1:00:43
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah, thank god.
• 1:00:44
  SPEAKER_03: There's an argument to be made here that Dom and a fan and his sister could possibly pull this off, but Luke can't lose, and neither can they.
• 1:00:53
  SPEAKER_03: I think Luke is able to incapacitate them and remove them from the fight enough for Dom and his family to accept an L.
• 1:01:01
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, they're not gonna die.
• 1:01:03
  SPEAKER_03: A technical loss.
• 1:01:05
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
• 1:01:06
  SPEAKER_02: We lost this one, but we'll be back in another one.
• 1:01:08
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, in order to not die.
• 1:01:10
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
• 1:01:10
  SPEAKER_03: But Luke, Luke is less willing to take a technical loss.
• 1:01:15
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, for sure.
• 1:01:16
  SPEAKER_00: Okay.
• 1:01:17
  SPEAKER_00: Alright, well, there you have his hand chopped off.
• 1:01:19
