  SPEAKER_00: Uh basically every human emotion, every like human deceit you can imagine, uh all makes stops and it all just goes up into absolute chaos.
• 3:15
  SPEAKER_00: Um published that first one, that was uh I think that was 2020, 2019.

  SPEAKER_00: Uh since then I've released um a couple of short stories, uh combination short stories, um, which are called Tales from the Inferno.
• 3:27
  SPEAKER_00: There's two volumes of that, and I'm currently working on the sequel at the moment to uh a Dark Fantasy dystopia called the Everlife Chronicles, in which the secret to eternal life has been discovered.
• 3:37
  SPEAKER_00: However, it um it ultimately is to the detriment of mankind.
• 3:41
  SPEAKER_00: Um, so I've got those on the go at the moment.
• 3:43
  SPEAKER_00: I've got a YouTube channel which I speak about uh writing advice, writing tips, um, general writing sort of stuff.
• 3:51
  SPEAKER_00: And then I also have like a second branch of that, which is like about mental fortitude.
• 3:55
  SPEAKER_00: I talk about mental health uh and like self-help and building habits for routines and stuff like that as well.

  SPEAKER_02: Like I said, we're doing Duke Nukem against Bubbles, the Powerpuff Girl.
• 4:30

  SPEAKER_01: I have uh I have not eaten anything today.
• 8:33
  SPEAKER_06: Oh god.
• 8:34
  SPEAKER_06: I've eaten like three meals today.
• 8:36
  SPEAKER_06: You're way behind.
• 8:38
  SPEAKER_00: You bunch of fit them in quite quickly.
• 8:41
  SPEAKER_06: Yeah, trust me, I can do more.
• 8:46
  SPEAKER_00: I was run out of time.
• 8:50
  SPEAKER_02: All right, so we've gotten a little drunk, we've got a little high.
• 8:54
  SPEAKER_02: It's time to talk some philosophy.
• 8:56
  SPEAKER_02: So, question I have for you guys today.
• 8:59
  SPEAKER_02: Um, I you know, there's so many questions you had in the show at this point that you know, on the way here I try and think them up.
• 9:05
  SPEAKER_02: And uh, did we do this?
• 9:07
  SPEAKER_02: And I don't think we did, but even so, you know, whatever.
• 9:10
  SPEAKER_02: So here's a question I have for you guys.
• 9:12
  SPEAKER_02: So I I was reading something and it says that what we're living in right now is the boring dystopia.
• 9:17
  SPEAKER_02: You know, I've said this a few times.
• 9:19
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
• 9:20
  SPEAKER_02: Um you know, it's a it's a common sort of you know statement that's out there.
• 9:23
  SPEAKER_02: We're in the boring dystopia where this is it, this is you know things are slowly devolving, yeah.
• 9:29
  SPEAKER_06: And it's and it's not any kind of like cool sci-fi or whatever.
• 9:34
  SPEAKER_06: It's just like I still go to work, I'm gonna sure seems like a a bunch of resources and money are just kind of like vanishing and and people are dying, and it's it sucks, and it's really boring.
• 9:46
  SPEAKER_06: People just kind of like sit around and wait to die.
• 9:48
  SPEAKER_02: So we're in this boring dystopia.
• 9:50
  SPEAKER_02: The question I have for you guys today is which dystopia would you prefer?
• 9:57
  SPEAKER_00: Uh so guests first uh which dystopia would have so either an apocalyptic dystopia in which everyone's trying to kill each other, um a maybe yeah, well, um, yeah, something like that.
• 10:16
  SPEAKER_00: Um or a um post-apocalyptic dystopia, like a zombie dystopia, where the people you killed are now trying to kill you, um, as well as each other.
• 10:27
  SPEAKER_02: Um, so it would be one of those zombie situations where if you kill them, like what was that?
• 10:32
  SPEAKER_02: That was uh the like the original with uh Romero, where it doesn't care.
• 10:36
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, where it's just if you die, regardless of how you died, you become a zombie.
• 10:42
  SPEAKER_06: Essentially, it's like moral morality-free violence, right?
• 10:45
  SPEAKER_06: Like morally justified violence is what you're looking for.
• 10:49
  SPEAKER_00: And that's the thing, like would we revert to such so here's here's another question is if we um if you take away the laws on the morals of society and it is just you versus me and a hot meal standing in between us, would you be my friend and share it, or would it be, well, you know, screw you, I'm gonna take the meal anyway, because there's nothing stopping me from doing that other than other than you standing in my way.
• 11:12
  SPEAKER_00: So it's like I used to have three meals before lunch, so uh well I think if um if you was uh go down the post spot, it's the zombie kind of one.
• 11:23
  SPEAKER_00: I think maybe you could form some kind of because you have a common enemy, then don't you have a common enemy which is the zombies, but then people can also then revert to attacking each other.
• 11:32
  SPEAKER_00: Whereas I think if you have um a world where everyone is all out for themselves, such as like the film The Road or um other dystopians as well, um then the issue is everyone is out for themselves, so it's to form like a common brotherhood uh will be quite difficult.
• 11:48
  SPEAKER_00: So I think for morality and for safety, I'd go for the uh for the zombie one, personally.
• 11:55
  SPEAKER_06: It's much it's much less complicated.
• 11:57
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, you don't really have to kill the zombies, don't kill each other, and we're okay.
• 12:01
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, yeah.
• 12:03
  SPEAKER_06: I want a real simple dystopia where with a clear goal, I don't want simple solutions, vegan morton sin running around as this kid.
• 12:12
  SPEAKER_00: I don't want political ideology, I don't want different classes, I don't like you know, it doesn't matter what colour you are, what creed you are, what religion you are, all that shit doesn't matter anymore.
• 12:20
  SPEAKER_00: There's a guy over there trying to eat my leg, and I don't want my leg to be eaten, so kill that bastard.
• 12:26
  SPEAKER_06: I can I can't I can I swear fuck all these other dystopias where I have to like comprehend like a new form of slavery and like feel and like figure out if I'm gonna do something about it and fuck all that shit, dude.
• 12:43
  SPEAKER_06: I just need I need one, I need a za a dead thing, and I'm gonna hit it until it stops moving.
• 12:48
  SPEAKER_00: That's it.
• 12:48
  SPEAKER_00: Aim for the hat.
• 12:49
  SPEAKER_00: I like it.
• 12:51
  SPEAKER_02: I like it.
• 12:51
  SPEAKER_02: We we combat the boring dystopia with simple dystopia.
• 12:55
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, simple simple, yeah, exactly.
• 12:58
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, I like it.
• 12:59
  SPEAKER_02: All right, well, uh James, what about you?
• 13:01
  SPEAKER_02: What what dystopia would you prefer?
• 13:03
  SPEAKER_06: What dystopia would I prefer?
• 13:05
  SPEAKER_06: Ah god, that's such a such a hard question.
• 13:09
  SPEAKER_06: And you told me that this before we started, and I thought I didn't think about it at all.
• 13:13
  SPEAKER_06: Um one dystopia that I find very interesting is the fallout dystopia.
• 13:23
  SPEAKER_06: The fallout world I find so interesting.
• 13:25
  SPEAKER_06: It's post-apocalyptic, uh a huge nuclear event has happened, um and the world like 200 years in the future, the radiation has gone down enough to support like people just living without having their DNA like damaged enough that you start seeing horrible defects anymore.
• 13:46
  SPEAKER_06: And and that I think that's an interesting uh interesting kind of exploration of of what how humanity interacts and and what your uh you know how do we make decisions when it when when the world is unmade around us.
• 14:05
  SPEAKER_06: Yeah.
• 14:05
  SPEAKER_06: I find very interesting.
• 14:07
  SPEAKER_06: And I like the way that those games present, you know, there's a lot of options, there's a lot of chances to be good.
• 14:14
  SPEAKER_06: There's a lot of chances to build something really good and say, you know, the old systems are gone and they're no longer applicable, and holding on to them is like stilly and counterproductive, and let's move, let's do something right this time.
• 14:30
  SPEAKER_06: And I I really like the opportunity for that that comes with like a post-apocalyptic dystopia.
• 14:36
  SPEAKER_06: But on the other hand, I'd also really love like uh uh a techno dystopia.
• 14:41
  SPEAKER_06: It's just uh I really love the aesthetic, I want to have machines on my body.
• 14:45
  SPEAKER_06: I'm a transhumanist for sure.
• 14:46
  SPEAKER_04: Yeah, okay.
• 14:48
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, but then you run the but then you run the risk of um if if it's like uh like a like a robotic dystopia, then you can run the risk of having like the Terminator uh cybars coming out so we can go one way too far.
• 15:00
  SPEAKER_06: Yeah, no AI.
• 15:01
  SPEAKER_02: No AI in my dystopia, just like nanobots and well the thing that always gets me, because I would love a techno dystopia also, but you know, we want uh you know I want to upgrade myself and everything like that.
• 15:13
  SPEAKER_02: But we know that those things would be exclusively available to the rich.
• 15:17
  SPEAKER_06: Well, that's why you gotta get you know, if you're not rich, it's your fault.
• 15:21
  SPEAKER_06: Just uh just get rich.
• 15:24
  SPEAKER_06: Just be rich, dummy.
• 15:26
  SPEAKER_00: So simple.
• 15:28
  SPEAKER_00: Get rich, guys, it's fine.
• 15:30
  SPEAKER_00: Um with the with the for that, which uh which I quite like what you said, is um I was actually speaking about this the other day, and isn't it funny how human beings will always uh assimilate value to something?
• 15:41
  SPEAKER_00: So in the for that, it's obviously you know money's gone, so it's bottle caps and it's yeah, resources.
• 15:46
  SPEAKER_00: So I think it'd be interesting in this dystopia as to okay, now money is useless.
• 15:51
  SPEAKER_00: Like I think it's like 70% of all cash is online as well, so it's there's only so much of that's a physical.
• 15:58
  SPEAKER_00: So then if you take away that value which you've attributed to um an item, what then becomes valuable?
• 16:04
  SPEAKER_00: Is it is it pots and pans, is it tools, is it skills, and how would that reflect in people's value as in you know, can we keep this person alive or can we kill them or sell them into slavery?
• 16:14
  SPEAKER_00: Um beaver pumps, beaver pumps standard unit of work.
• 16:20
  SPEAKER_00: So that I'd be a beaver pump.
• 16:22
  SPEAKER_00: Are you a doctor or are you just if you work in IT in a dystopia, you pretty you pretty screwed real if we like a HR manager, like you can't do it.
• 16:30
  SPEAKER_06: It's so funny that you say that about doctors and stuff because this kind of dystopia also lends itself to like grifters and fraudsters too.
• 16:39
  SPEAKER_06: So it's like it's really troublesome.
• 16:41
  SPEAKER_06: It's such a it's such a crazy dystopia where you like always have to be on the lookout, but like the good parts are really good.
• 16:46
  SPEAKER_06: You can find communities that don't even that where they're just like no, we if any if someone needs something and we have it, we give it to them, you know.
• 16:53
  SPEAKER_06: And and and the and the investment in them is like an investment in our future.
• 16:57
  SPEAKER_06: Yeah, and and if like if I could build a little slice of that and have that spread, that would be awesome.
• 17:02
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, no, that'd be cool.
• 17:04
  SPEAKER_02: That'd be cool.
• 17:04
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, no, but now I want uh a beaver punk dystopia.
• 17:08
  SPEAKER_02: Hell yeah.
• 17:10
  SPEAKER_02: We get the lights on by using windmills that a beaver runs and we sell their pults.
• 17:16
  SPEAKER_06: You know what?
• 17:16
  SPEAKER_06: The the the whale dystopia in Dishonored Yeah, that's an interesting one.
• 17:22
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, that'd be cool.
• 17:23
  SPEAKER_00: It would suck to be a whale.
• 17:24
  SPEAKER_00: A whale dystopia, what's that?
• 17:25
  SPEAKER_00: I've never heard of that.
• 17:26
  SPEAKER_02: Where where all they do is collect whale oil to run their magical 18th century style world.
• 17:33
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
• 17:33
  SPEAKER_02: Uh yeah, no, that'd be fun too.
• 17:35
  SPEAKER_02: Um, but I think for me, um, so there's a movie I saw a long time ago.
• 17:39
  SPEAKER_02: I couldn't tell you the name of it.
• 17:41
  SPEAKER_02: Dumbest fucking thing I've ever seen.
• 17:43
  SPEAKER_02: Um the the the whole concept was we hit a point where the world runs out of gasoline.
• 17:51
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
• 17:52
  SPEAKER_02: And there the opening scene, I think I've seen this.
• 17:55
  SPEAKER_02: It shows you know, it's cruising through the post-apocalyptic wasteland of life after gas.
• 18:01
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
• 18:02
  SPEAKER_02: Even though there was life before gas.
• 18:04
  SPEAKER_02: Um, and you see a pump.
• 18:08
  SPEAKER_02: Life can't go back.
• 18:10
  SPEAKER_02: You see a pump, right?
• 18:12
  SPEAKER_02: And there's a car in front of the pump with just a dead guy inside his car.
• 18:18
  SPEAKER_02: Like this dude pulled up to the pump and they're like, We we can't help, we're out of gas.
• 18:23
  SPEAKER_03: Sir, get out of the car.
• 18:27
  SPEAKER_03: And then just he's curled up 20 years later as a skeleton.
• 18:32
  SPEAKER_06: Maybe, maybe after he realized he couldn't get gas, he just killed himself in his car.
• 18:37
  SPEAKER_06: Well, I don't want to live in a world without gasoline.
• 18:40
  SPEAKER_00: I can't drive, I have to walk now.
• 18:42
  SPEAKER_00: Oh no.
• 18:43
  SPEAKER_00: I'd rather die.
• 18:45
  SPEAKER_00: I'd rather well exercise.
• 18:48
  SPEAKER_02: Fuck that.
• 18:49
  SPEAKER_02: But but this this movie heavily implied that instead of working on electric vehicles or going back to horses or any of or just getting out and walking.
• 19:03
  SPEAKER_02: Humanity just gave up.
• 19:04
  SPEAKER_00: We just gave up.
• 19:05
  SPEAKER_00: You know what?
• 19:06
  SPEAKER_00: We had a good run, guys.
• 19:07
  SPEAKER_00: We had a good run, it's no train.
• 19:09
  SPEAKER_00: Never mind, come on.
• 19:11
  SPEAKER_02: And he just rolled up the windows on a hot summer day, turned on the AC until his own gasoline ran out and then died in the car.
• 19:20
  SPEAKER_00: Fucking hell.
• 19:22
  SPEAKER_02: And you know, I think I would do pretty good in this dystopia.
• 19:26
  SPEAKER_05: It's full of real idiots and quitters.
• 19:29
  SPEAKER_00: I need to know the name of this movie.
• 19:31
  SPEAKER_00: I really do, I really need to watch it now.
• 19:33
  SPEAKER_00: I'll have to Google it later.
• 19:34
  SPEAKER_02: Well, it was bizarre because uh the the dystopia then was run um by this gang of roller skaters who figured out that roller skates are great in the world after castle.
• 19:48
  SPEAKER_06: I mean, I would be A roller skating dystopia would be a pretty good one, like Xanadu with Olivia Newton Judd.
• 19:55
  SPEAKER_06: That's a roller skating dystopia.
• 19:57
  SPEAKER_06: And I'm down.
• 19:58
  SPEAKER_02: She becomes the um Oh god, wait, uh I'm I feel so terrible.
• 20:02
  SPEAKER_02: I can't remember her name right now, Thunderdome.
• 20:04
  SPEAKER_02: Um I don't know, I don't I didn't watch Mad Max.
• 20:07
  SPEAKER_00: I can just I can just imagine with that dystopia, just the Simpsons and everyone just dressed like disco stew and just flying around with the glasses and just you know like like there's just there's just disco balls and and uh you know floors were just lightly colored everywhere and flashing colours, and all of a sudden there's just a lot of like you know that's 70s music playing.
• 20:28
  SPEAKER_00: Oh, it would be it would be out there.
• 20:30
  SPEAKER_00: Put your money away, we trade in funk.
• 20:33
  SPEAKER_02: And then I think I have a good so first I was one of the ones who was smart enough to open his car door and get out.
• 20:40
  SPEAKER_05: Um you're you're in the top ten of the entire population right now.
• 20:45
  SPEAKER_02: Already I got a good shot.
• 20:46
  SPEAKER_02: And now as as the rest of the world is going roller punk, I'm working on solar power, electric power, water power, a fucking horse, uh you know, all that kind of stuff.
• 20:57
  SPEAKER_02: And so I've collected all this, and then when the roller people come for me, I just throw gravel down.
• 21:02
  SPEAKER_02: Oh, yeah, they're done.
• 21:04
  SPEAKER_00: Just mobbles, the mobbles on them.
• 21:06
  SPEAKER_06: They've been spending their entire time perfecting their rollerblading technology while you were working on on all of your energy supplies.
• 21:15
  SPEAKER_06: You you didn't understand that you were upsetting the the supply of beets and they come for you.
• 21:22
  SPEAKER_00: People just trying to have a good time, man.
• 21:24
  SPEAKER_00: What are you doing?
• 21:26
  SPEAKER_02: I'm just standing on like the on my my widow's walk, you know, that's powered by all this stuff, and I off in the distance of this anti-gas desert.

  SPEAKER_02: It's everyone else that's just lost their damn mind.
• 22:28

  SPEAKER_02: Well, so that being said, I think it's time to jump into the second part of this podcast.
• 23:13
  SPEAKER_02: We have a fight for you.
• 23:14
  SPEAKER_02: It's Duke Newcomb versus Bubbles of the Powerpuff Girls.
• 23:17
  SPEAKER_02: But before we do that, we land on that.
• 23:20
  SPEAKER_02: I have no idea.
• 23:21
  SPEAKER_02: What a terrible idea.
• 23:25
  SPEAKER_02: I love it.
• 23:26
  SPEAKER_02: But before we do that, we gotta get a little more drunk and we gotta get a little more high.
• 23:29
  SPEAKER_02: So let's pour them up.
• 23:31
  SPEAKER_02: Oh yeah, I forgot about that.
• 23:34
  SPEAKER_02: Oh so this one goes out to our contenders this week.
• 23:39
  SPEAKER_02: We have Bubbles of the Powerpuff Girls versus Duke Nukem.
• 23:44
  SPEAKER_02: Here's to them.
• 23:45
  SPEAKER_02: Cheers.
• 23:45
  SPEAKER_00: Cheers, guys.
• 23:48
  SPEAKER_00: Oh, I'm way behind.
• 23:50
  SPEAKER_00: Hold on.
• 23:50
  SPEAKER_06: It's heating up.
• 23:51
  SPEAKER_00: I've been drinking throughout us talking as well, so this is just I'm just getting hammered.
• 23:56
  SPEAKER_00: It's fine.
• 23:57
  SPEAKER_02: It's just the natural movement of the show.
• 24:04
  SPEAKER_06: Oh boy.
• 24:05
  SPEAKER_06: Could you hear that bubbling?
• 24:07
  SPEAKER_06: I try to get it in the microphone.
• 24:08
  SPEAKER_06: Yeah, I heard some bubble.
• 24:10
  SPEAKER_06: I mean, I was looking at it too, though.
• 24:11
  SPEAKER_06: Yeah, you were looking at it.
• 24:12
  SPEAKER_06: I think when you see things, you can your brain sometimes hears them when you can't actually hear them.
• 24:17
  SPEAKER_00: Do you ever do that when you're driving?
• 24:18
  SPEAKER_06: I think I find my brain filling in a a lot of empty spaces a lot of the time.
• 24:23
  SPEAKER_06: Yeah, probably.
• 24:24
  SPEAKER_00: Do you guys ever do that when you're driving?
• 24:25
  SPEAKER_00: So if you're driving down somewhere, like you, you know, you're trying to park into a space, so you have to do something that requires a little bit of concentration.
• 24:31
  SPEAKER_00: Like you'll turn the music off to see if you can see better.
• 24:34
  SPEAKER_06: Oh yes.
• 24:35
  SPEAKER_06: 100%.
• 24:36
  SPEAKER_06: I turn the music off whenever I need to concentrate and I'm in the car.
• 24:40
  SPEAKER_06: I always first thing I do, I'm like, music off.
• 24:42
  SPEAKER_06: Right?
• 24:44
  SPEAKER_02: So I'm trying to see these addresses.
• 24:45
  SPEAKER_02: Like I can't be hearing things right now.
• 24:48
  SPEAKER_00: Can't focus on other one thing at once, I have rollerblades to think about.
• 24:53
  SPEAKER_02: I'm trying to find some new inlines before uh the world kicks off its apocalypse.
• 24:58
  SPEAKER_00: Off-road, off-road rollers.
• 25:01
  SPEAKER_00: Hey man, why are you just holding gasoline?
• 25:03
  SPEAKER_00: Well, you never know, like things things could go terribly wrong.
• 25:07
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, why?
• 25:08
  SPEAKER_00: I might need that one day.
• 25:10
  SPEAKER_02: Well, you you bring down some friends into the uh the bunker that you've created, and they're like, what's with all the rollerblades on the screen?
• 25:18
  SPEAKER_00: One day.
• 25:20
  SPEAKER_06: You'll see.
• 25:21
  SPEAKER_06: I don't know if you know this, but gas only lasts like a year, and then it's not good anymore.
• 25:26
  SPEAKER_06: There's no apocalypse.
• 25:28
  SPEAKER_06: Like afterwards, if you can't make gas, you're fucked.
• 25:30
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, there are no roe warriors.
• 25:32
  SPEAKER_00: Uh-huh.
• 25:33
  SPEAKER_00: No, that was uh what he said about that guy.
• 25:36
  SPEAKER_00: He just he just didn't get out of the car.
• 25:37
  SPEAKER_00: So, no, I will wait.
• 25:39
  SPEAKER_00: I will wait.
• 25:40
  SPEAKER_00: It's fine.
• 25:41
  SPEAKER_00: No, but you can get out of the car.
• 25:44
  SPEAKER_00: I've got the radio on, I've got some Twinkies, I'm okay.
• 25:47
  SPEAKER_03: Please.
• 25:48
  SPEAKER_05: Gas.
• 25:51
  SPEAKER_05: Sir, get out of the car.
• 25:53
  SPEAKER_05: I just need a little bit of window.
• 25:57
  SPEAKER_03: But then if but here's food, here's water, just gas.
• 26:02
  SPEAKER_05: I'm asking you for gas.
• 26:04
  SPEAKER_03: And then it just hard cuts to him as a decomposed corpse.
• 26:11
  SPEAKER_02: And that that's exactly what that movie was trying to imply happened to most of us.
• 26:19
  SPEAKER_05: Shit.
• 26:21
  SPEAKER_02: So, anyways, time to jump into a fight.
• 26:24
  SPEAKER_02: So, how we do it on high and dry pie.
• 26:25
  SPEAKER_05: What do you mean I can't get gas?
• 26:28
  SPEAKER_05: Just 10,000 times.
• 26:36
  SPEAKER_05: I'm not leaving here until I get some gas.
• 26:42
  SPEAKER_00: Oh boy.
• 26:43
  SPEAKER_00: My eyes have watering, guys.
• 26:44
  SPEAKER_00: Okay.
• 26:49
  SPEAKER_05: I can imagine this happening.
• 26:51
  SPEAKER_05: I can see this happening.
• 26:53
  SPEAKER_05: Oh yeah.
• 26:54
  SPEAKER_05: Oh my god.
• 26:55
  SPEAKER_05: Uh just yeah.
• 26:56
  SPEAKER_05: Oh yeah.
• 26:57
  SPEAKER_02: No, if if we run out of gas in the summer, um, it's gonna be a quick death for a lot of people.
• 27:03
  SPEAKER_05: Pull out their phone.
• 27:04
  SPEAKER_05: I'm here at the gas station.
• 27:07
  SPEAKER_05: They're not giving me any gas.
• 27:11
  SPEAKER_05: Can you all Facebook, they're not giving me any gas.
• 27:16
  SPEAKER_00: Start start a go fund me for gases.
• 27:19
  SPEAKER_02: Oh hell.
• 27:21
  SPEAKER_00: All right, so we cancel it.
• 27:24
  SPEAKER_02: Alright, so it's time to jump into a fist fight.
• 27:26
  SPEAKER_02: This is how high and dry does it.
• 27:28
  SPEAKER_02: We have a patented three round method to guarantee you the results to you know the burning questions.
• 27:35
  SPEAKER_02: Uh how we do it, round one, the characters jump into a legally distinct fight club bar in the basement of an Applebee's where Val Kilmer playing Tyler Durden has these characters fight each other to the death, pound for pound, punch for punch.
• 27:49
  SPEAKER_02: They get nothing special, nothing that is not completely innate to them.
• 27:54
  SPEAKER_06: I just want to point out there's something interesting I noticed about this intro you use all the time.
• 27:59
  SPEAKER_06: Is that as we talk about Applebee's, soon we're gonna have the only Applebee's.
• 28:03
  SPEAKER_06: We're gonna have like a standalone only Applebee's.
• 28:08
  SPEAKER_05: And then inside's gonna be our it's just gonna be a front for our fight club.
• 28:13
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, yeah, that's uh we've just yeah, we read that that Applebee's is finally shutting down.
• 28:18
  SPEAKER_02: Congratulations, millennials.
• 28:20
  SPEAKER_02: You did it.
• 28:20
  SPEAKER_06: We did it.
• 28:21
  SPEAKER_06: We teased them.
• 28:21
  SPEAKER_06: We teased them until they died.
• 28:23
  SPEAKER_00: What is Applebee's?
• 28:24
  SPEAKER_00: I have no idea what Applebee's is.
• 28:26
  SPEAKER_02: Like, is it so over here in the States, it's a um it's a it's a shithole um basic ass food.
• 28:36
  SPEAKER_02: Chain it's a chain restaurant.
• 28:39
  SPEAKER_02: It's just a chain restaurant, and and there's been an interesting generational culture war over it because um, you know, uh you're the baby boomer generation, they climbed to the top, knock down the ladder, and um they loved Applebee's.
• 28:53
  SPEAKER_02: We couldn't afford it and didn't really care for it.
• 28:57
  SPEAKER_06: Think about it this way.
• 28:58
  SPEAKER_06: Think about it this way.
• 28:59
  SPEAKER_06: So Applebee's was in like every major city next to every airport hotel, yeah.
• 29:07
  SPEAKER_06: And like these corporate people who traveled everywhere uh knew exactly what kind of bland food they were gonna get anywhere they went, but it was like really consistent, and that's what led to their success.
• 29:19
  SPEAKER_06: And then they were like, young people will like us, right?
• 29:23
  SPEAKER_06: And I don't know what was wrong with them.
• 29:25
  SPEAKER_02: No, we did not.
• 29:27
  SPEAKER_02: And and so it turned into this culture war, um, you know, because there's this, you know, the old always want to blame everything on the up-and-coming generation.
• 29:35
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
• 29:35
  SPEAKER_02: And they're losing their Applebee's because we're over here.
• 29:38
  SPEAKER_02: If I'm gonna spend fifteen dollars on a meal, I I want it to taste semi-decent.
• 29:43
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
• 29:43
  SPEAKER_02: And um, there goes Applebee's.
• 29:45
  SPEAKER_06: Oh no, we weren't gonna do that.
• 29:49
  SPEAKER_02: Um, and so that's uh and so pretty soon High and Dry Podcast is gonna have the last Applebee's, and that's where these characters fight in the basement.
• 29:58
  SPEAKER_02: So um anyway, let's get into round one.
• 30:01
  SPEAKER_02: So, well, round two, we zoom out into a city view.
• 30:04
  SPEAKER_02: These characters have 24 hours to figure out how they're gonna kill the other one.
• 30:08
  SPEAKER_02: They can use whatever they have, they can go buy a gun.
• 30:11
  SPEAKER_02: Doesn't matter, they just do it.
• 30:13
  SPEAKER_02: And then round three is the same as round two, except this time they get to bring a friend.
• 30:18
  SPEAKER_02: So entering into round one, we've just gone down into the Applebee's, which you now know is a thing.
• 30:25
  SPEAKER_02: Sharon Carl Urban has been escorted to the box seats.
• 30:30
  SPEAKER_02: It's time to fight.
• 30:32
  SPEAKER_02: So Val Kilmer's explained the rules.
• 30:34
  SPEAKER_02: We have Bubbles of the PowerPluff Puff Girls, not the Pluff Girls, Puff Girls versus Duke Nukem of the um at one time very wildly popular video game franchise, Duke Nukem.
• 30:47
  SPEAKER_02: So guests first, pound for pound, punch for punch, only the things that are innate.
• 30:53
  SPEAKER_02: Who's gonna win?
• 30:53
  SPEAKER_02: Duke Nukem, Bubbles, what happens?
• 30:56
  SPEAKER_02: Jay, take us there.
• 30:57
  SPEAKER_00: Oh, I'm I'm thinking, I'm thinking Duke Nukem all the way.
• 31:00
  SPEAKER_00: I mean, uh, I think Bubbles will probably try and talk to him first, you know.
• 31:04
  SPEAKER_00: Hey, come on, let's be friends.
• 31:06
  SPEAKER_00: I don't want to do this, let's all be good.
• 31:07
  SPEAKER_00: And Jute Nukem's just he's just gonna just like just haymake, real one bomber.
• 31:12
  SPEAKER_00: Um, I think if there's a mission uh and someone's standing in the way, then regardless of colour, creed, like whoever this person is, age, whether the little girl or whatever, he's just gonna knock the fuck out of him.
• 31:23
  SPEAKER_00: Um he's I think he's pretty hardcore.
• 31:26
  SPEAKER_00: So I think um, yeah, I think pound for pound uh in that like a small basement.
• 31:31
  SPEAKER_00: Um because bubbles' main thing is that you know she can fly around, so she's agile, but I think in quite a small environment she'd struggle.
• 31:38
  SPEAKER_00: Um that said though, however, she's quite small and nimble, but she doesn't have thumbs, she's just like just got like a like a one mold of a hand.
• 31:45
  SPEAKER_00: So I don't know if she can grab anything.
• 31:48
  SPEAKER_00: She loses because she doesn't have opposable thumbs.
• 31:52
  SPEAKER_00: That would be interesting.
• 31:53
  SPEAKER_00: Listen, like that that's what separates us from the animals.
• 31:56
  SPEAKER_02: That, you know, we've I like how this is now implying very heavily that Bubbles is not a human.
• 32:04
  SPEAKER_06: Well, she's not, she was created by a scientist.
• 32:06
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, yeah, that's right.
• 32:07
  SPEAKER_06: She's just sugar spice and yeah, everything nice, and also Agent X or something like that.
• 32:13
  SPEAKER_06: I can't remember.
• 32:13
  SPEAKER_06: Yeah, something like that.
• 32:14
  SPEAKER_06: Yeah, yeah.
• 32:15
  SPEAKER_00: Uh but so I think uh and I mean plus June, someone with glasses that are with sunglasses that dark, and with hair, I mean, that haircut he's got.
• 32:25
  SPEAKER_06: He doesn't get us, he doesn't get his sunglasses.
• 32:27
  SPEAKER_06: Yeah, they strip him down.
• 32:28
  SPEAKER_06: He doesn't get he doesn't get anything except his like just his body and his innate powers in the first round.
• 32:34
  SPEAKER_06: Yeah.
• 32:35
  SPEAKER_00: Well, my thing is someone who can walk around with a haircut like that, with how his haircut is, he's clearly used to thinking some shit.
• 32:44
  SPEAKER_00: So I think I I I I my money's on bubbles in that round.
• 32:47
  SPEAKER_00: I think I think bubbles is is screwed.
• 32:50
  SPEAKER_02: Okay.
• 32:51
  SPEAKER_02: Alright.
• 32:51
  SPEAKER_02: Well, alright.
• 32:52
  SPEAKER_02: Well, we got some interesting thoughts there.
• 32:53
  SPEAKER_02: I I'm glad someone brought attention to her lack of thumbs.
• 32:57
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, let's see how that plays out for her.
• 32:58
  SPEAKER_02: Uh James, uh, what do you think goes down?
• 33:01
  SPEAKER_06: Uh, so I'm gonna have to disagree here.
• 33:03
  SPEAKER_06: I think that because Duke doesn't have any access to any guns or anything, while he he is stronger than a normal person, definitely.
• 33:12
  SPEAKER_06: He's definitely stronger than a normal person, but he's not like super strong.
• 33:16
  SPEAKER_06: He's not like Bubbles strong.
• 33:18
  SPEAKER_06: Bubbles has like she has incredible strength and incredible speed.
• 33:24
  SPEAKER_06: And I think that she is going to, I think Duke Nukem is gonna be like, I have to fight a girl, because that's what Duke Nukem would say.
• 33:31
  SPEAKER_06: Um and and when he said said that, she would burst through his chest and on the other side be holding his heart.
• 33:41
  SPEAKER_06: And that would be the end of him.
• 33:43
  SPEAKER_01: Okay.
• 33:43
  SPEAKER_01: Alright, alright.
• 33:45
  SPEAKER_02: Um you know, I so I could see, you know, a side for each one.
• 33:52
  SPEAKER_02: Um, because I mean Duke Newcomb, he is, you know, he's bizarrely, he's as strong as the joke needs him to be.
• 33:59
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
• 34:00
  SPEAKER_02: As as strong as, you know, the the masculinity joke requires him to be.
• 34:05
  SPEAKER_06: Yeah.
• 34:06
  SPEAKER_02: And um, so that's that's a tough call.
• 34:09
  SPEAKER_06: I I would say Does his misogyny just inherently beat a woman?
• 34:15
  SPEAKER_02: Well, that's but we just figured out that she's not even human.
• 34:18
  SPEAKER_06: Yeah, she's not she is not a woman, but she is female presented.
• 34:23
  SPEAKER_00: She's not even human.
• 34:24
  SPEAKER_00: She's she has no feelings, it's fine.
• 34:27
  SPEAKER_06: We can say what's so then his misogyny, so his misogyny doesn't come to his aid then, is what you're telling me.
• 34:33
  SPEAKER_06: Is because she's not a woman, he can't use his misogyny to his advantage anyway.
• 34:39
  SPEAKER_00: Hmm.
• 34:40
  SPEAKER_02: That's well, so alright.
• 34:43
  SPEAKER_02: So this is what I think is gonna go down.
• 34:45
  SPEAKER_02: I I think that, you know, if we're talking about so he's got 600 pounds on a bench press, he's a six foot four man, um, and bubbles.
• 34:53
  SPEAKER_02: I I feel that her naivete will kind of work against her in the beginning.
• 34:59
  SPEAKER_02: But then at the end of the day, if these two are just fighting innately, um, you know, her you know, superhuman abilities, we are you know, the flying and the punching giant lizard monsters and all that, I think will overcome.
• 35:11
  SPEAKER_02: But I think that might change once Duke Nukem gets his hands on his weapons.
• 35:15
  SPEAKER_06: Yes.
• 35:15
  SPEAKER_06: I think that right now, because they are barehanded, uh, it's really Powerpuff Girlsy and that she fights a lot of things with it with her stubs.
• 35:25
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, you know.
• 35:26
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, I think he'll get stubbed.
• 35:29
  SPEAKER_02: Um well so well, so that being said, um uh Jay, we need your final thoughts and a vote.
• 35:35
  SPEAKER_00: Okay, uh yeah, with you with you saying that, uh I do think Junecomb would be better, uh, obviously if he had weapons and uh etc.
• 35:43
  SPEAKER_00: And if he was against someone who that wasn't like superhuman, so I mean if it was me and him, then he'd you know beat the shit on me all day long.
• 35:49
  SPEAKER_00: Um however, if I had stubs and I was made from sugar spice and all things nice, I'd like to think I'd have the advantage for him.
• 35:55
  SPEAKER_00: So um, yeah, so I'd happily see yeah, bubbles in this one, I'd go for bubbles.
• 36:00
  SPEAKER_02: Okay, alright, so we got one vote for bubbles.
• 36:02
  SPEAKER_02: I think I think we know.
• 36:03
  SPEAKER_02: I think we know.
• 36:03
  SPEAKER_02: Alright, so there you go.
• 36:04
  SPEAKER_02: Across the board, Bubbles takes round one, leaving the Applebee's.
• 36:08
  SPEAKER_02: We've now entered into a 24-hour city view fight where these characters now know that they have to kill the other one, and they have everything that makes them them.
• 36:19
  SPEAKER_02: They can bring items, they can do whatever the fuck they want.
• 36:22
  SPEAKER_02: Um, so I think this is really gonna change the game.
• 36:25
  SPEAKER_02: So, uh Jay, bringing it to you again, guests first.
• 36:28
  SPEAKER_02: What do you think we're gonna see in round two?
• 36:30
  SPEAKER_00: Oh well, the first thing Duke Newton's gonna do is he's gonna he's gonna armor up with bandoliers, he's gonna be getting guns, he's gonna get, you know, he's gonna have a motorcycle as well.
• 36:39
  SPEAKER_00: So he's gonna be flying around motorcycles, he's gonna be shooting cool as shit, you know.
• 36:42
  SPEAKER_00: She'll be flying around dark between buildings, he'll have uh like a zooker on his on one shoulder, you know, uh a hot babe on his neck on his next arm.
• 36:51
  SPEAKER_06: You know, so he's he doesn't get the hot babe, he doesn't get the hot babe until round three.
• 36:55
  SPEAKER_06: He doesn't get the hot dogs.
• 36:56
  SPEAKER_02: I might argue that he does, because in in Duke's mind, she is equipment, she's an object.
• 37:01
  SPEAKER_00: I don't know, I I don't know if that works still.
• 37:04
  SPEAKER_00: Okay, please because we've got very dark.
• 37:06
  SPEAKER_00: Um okay, so he's got uh he's got a bazooka in one hand, he's got like uh I don't know, a big fucking rifle in the other hand, so he's he's causing outright destruction, he's chewing gum, he's kicking ass, he's driving driving with his knees.
• 37:24
  SPEAKER_00: Well, okay, then okay, then the guns are mounted to the motorcycle.
• 37:27
  SPEAKER_00: Um so he's just causing absolute carnage with his uh with his weapons.
• 37:32
  SPEAKER_00: So I think yeah, with the arsenal uh of weapons available to him um in a in an urban environment, I think it uh I think he'd certainly have more of a more of a scope and be able to inflict some damage on bubbles as opposed to in a small room where he doesn't have anything.
• 37:47
  SPEAKER_06: Yeah, I think Duke Newcomb has access to any weapon he wants.
• 37:51
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, and some beyond you know his sci-fi guns.
• 37:54
  SPEAKER_06: Yeah, he he has access to sci-fi guns, he has access to any gun at any time that he thinks would be relevant.
• 38:01
  SPEAKER_06: Yeah.
• 38:01
  SPEAKER_06: Uh to kill.
• 38:04
  SPEAKER_01: Okay.
• 38:05
  SPEAKER_06: Um, yeah, and Bubbles gets she Bubbles has a lot of powers.
• 38:10
  SPEAKER_06: Um, she's not just like super strong and super fast, she can like scream and destroy things with her scream.
• 38:16
  SPEAKER_06: Um, she can shoot laser beams.
• 38:19
  SPEAKER_06: Uh, she knows both Spanish and Japanese.
• 38:23
  SPEAKER_06: And Duke Nukem knows just a little bit of just enough Spanish to be racist.
• 38:28
  SPEAKER_06: Uh, is about how much Spanish Duke Nukem knows.
• 38:33
  SPEAKER_05: So they might be there might be a nice exchange there.
• 38:38
  SPEAKER_00: Okay.
• 38:39
  SPEAKER_06: Uh yeah, and she can also uh talk to animals and has x-ray vision.
• 38:44
  SPEAKER_00: Man, you've done your research on this.
• 38:46
  SPEAKER_06: I just like I google, I just hit Google.
• 38:49
  SPEAKER_06: Like I Googled it while we were talking.
• 38:52
  SPEAKER_00: You came to this fight with knowledge, man.
• 38:55
  SPEAKER_02: Oh well, see, we're in the high and dry podcast, uh, you know, the combat center here.
• 39:00
  SPEAKER_02: You know, we're looking at five screens across the room.
• 39:05
  SPEAKER_02: We got it all pulled up.
• 39:06
  SPEAKER_00: You've got everything.
• 39:07
  SPEAKER_00: You've got, you know, battle maps up, you've got you guys have got like the stock shares of weapons, which is more likely to be available at the time.
• 39:14
  SPEAKER_00: You've got boxes made for people with stubs and no fingers.
• 39:18
  SPEAKER_00: You guys are on it.
• 39:18
  SPEAKER_03: Like, I'm we we got OSHA weather reports live streaming in.
• 39:22
  SPEAKER_03: What can I say?
• 39:23
  SPEAKER_03: We're professional.
• 39:26
  SPEAKER_02: Welcome to the command center.
• 39:28
  SPEAKER_02: Oh yeah.
• 39:29
  SPEAKER_02: No, um, yeah.
• 39:30
  SPEAKER_02: Uh well, I mean, on my side, um, you know stupid.
• 39:34
  SPEAKER_02: I'm looking at the stats here.
• 39:36
  SPEAKER_02: Um so I I I see um, you know, benefits on each side.
• 39:45
  SPEAKER_02: Um Bubbles is bringing a lot to the table here.
• 39:48
  SPEAKER_02: Um and Bubbles also has a thing because she's the sweet one she has um, you know, when you piss her off too much.
• 39:55
  SPEAKER_06: Oh yeah, she gets she gets mad.
• 39:57
  SPEAKER_02: She gets mad, which which I that's the I think with all we're talking about the 69th president of the United States here, Duke Newcomb.
• 40:04
  SPEAKER_02: Um, and you know, he's gonna be coming with you know the United States, the United States president's access to infinite debt.
• 40:13
  SPEAKER_03: He also would try time traveled in the future to be the 420th president.
• 40:18
  SPEAKER_06: We got a lot going on here.
• 40:21
  SPEAKER_02: Um and so I I see there there's a chance here for Duke Newcomb to just rain down hell with all of his sci-fi weapons, with all of his you know, president income, uh all that coming at her.
• 40:35
  SPEAKER_02: And then at top of that, he's wearing boots now.
• 40:38
  SPEAKER_02: So Duke Nukem gets you know the mighty boot, which just turns everything into mush that it kicks.
• 40:43
  SPEAKER_06: Yeah.
• 40:44
  SPEAKER_02: Um what I the other side, what I see happening in Bubbles' favor, um, is him saying some misogynistic shit.
• 40:53
  SPEAKER_06: Yeah, and she gets mad.
• 40:54
  SPEAKER_02: Like, you know, she screams, and I could see uh women for you, and then she just gets pissed off.
• 41:04
  SPEAKER_06: Um and so I can see She does punish the mis she's the one who punishes the misogynists in the show.
• 41:10
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, and and so I could I could see uh scenarios where either one wins.
• 41:14
  SPEAKER_02: Um, but I think out of a hundred fights, I think Duke Newcomb's gonna win 60 of them.
• 41:18
  SPEAKER_02: You think so?
• 41:19
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
• 41:19
  SPEAKER_06: He does have access to pretty intense technology, yeah.
• 41:22
  SPEAKER_02: And you know, I I think uh it's just gonna be too much for him to deal with it once.
• 41:27
  SPEAKER_02: Well, let's take a vote.
• 41:28
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, so uh Jay, bringing it back to you, uh final thoughts and a vote.
• 41:33
  SPEAKER_00: Uh yeah, so I think uh I think with all this weaponry, Newcomb and hold the advantage.
• 41:39
  SPEAKER_00: Um, and also uh with his resources and all the rest of it, but also like Newcomb's built a career on fighting aliens and fighting you know extra stressful creatures.
• 41:47
  SPEAKER_00: Um so and Bubbles is a creation, isn't she?
• 41:50
  SPEAKER_00: She's not like she's not like born, uh so to speak.
• 41:52
  SPEAKER_00: So maybe he has that advantage there because he can't he doesn't see himself as fighting a person, you see himself as fighting his mortal enemy, which is something which isn't of this world.
• 42:00
  SPEAKER_00: So um, yeah, I'd I'd like to think Newcombe on this one.
• 42:04
  SPEAKER_00: That's what I think.
• 42:05
  SPEAKER_02: Okay.
• 42:06
  SPEAKER_02: Alright, alright.
• 42:07
  SPEAKER_02: Um, James, uh final thoughts on a vote.
• 42:10
  SPEAKER_06: Uh I'm split.
• 42:11
  SPEAKER_06: You go.
• 42:12
  SPEAKER_06: Split.
• 42:12
  SPEAKER_02: Alright, so just tying it up.
• 42:13
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, well then I'm gonna have to stick, um, yeah, because I'm hearing, you know, nothing that's really changing what I'm feeling.
• 42:18
  SPEAKER_02: I I think that Duke Newcomb's gonna win round two 60 times out of a hundred, or you know, six out of ten, or you know, three out of five.
• 42:25
  SPEAKER_06: I think, yeah, I think that I think that bubbles does get this an this is a Duke Nukem onslaught is something she's never faced alone.
• 42:33
  SPEAKER_06: Yeah.
• 42:33
  SPEAKER_06: And if she has faced it alone, she ends up in one of those one of those episodes where they get all bloody, and you're like, holy shit, why is the show getting bloody all of a sudden?
• 42:42
  SPEAKER_06: What's going on?
• 42:43
  SPEAKER_06: Um and uh yeah, that'd be the episode she ended up on.
• 42:47
  SPEAKER_06: She has no one to call for help, so yeah.
• 42:49
  SPEAKER_02: No, I yeah, I'll see.
• 42:50
  SPEAKER_02: I'd see that.
• 42:50
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
• 42:51
  SPEAKER_02: Alright, cool.
• 42:51
  SPEAKER_02: Well, so round two is going to Duke Nukem, which moves us into round three.
• 42:56
  SPEAKER_02: It's time for our final round.
• 42:58
  SPEAKER_02: It's the same thing as round two, except this time they get to bring a friend.
• 43:02
  SPEAKER_02: And this this is usually the one that really you know cinches it one way or the other.
• 43:05
  SPEAKER_02: So uh Jay, come on over to you, guests first.
• 43:08
  SPEAKER_02: Who are they bringing?
• 43:09
  SPEAKER_02: What happens?
• 43:11
  SPEAKER_00: I think he because he has uh access to technology, he's probably made some connections with scientists uh and also with his with his knowledge of extraterrestrials and other worldly creatures.
• 43:23
  SPEAKER_00: I think Rick from Rick and Marty would be a good shout.
• 43:26
  SPEAKER_00: Um uh the uh the mad scientist from the programme.
• 43:30
  SPEAKER_00: So I think Rick turns up, alcohol, alcohol up, drunk as shit, um, uses his uh pretty misogynist.
• 43:39
  SPEAKER_00: Shared shared shared misogyny.
• 43:41
  SPEAKER_00: Shared misogyny, shared alcoholism, they get on great, you know, um, you know, shared shared hatred for all things, which uh, you know, stuff like that.
• 43:50
  SPEAKER_00: So I think um I think Rick, I think Rick would uh would cause some absolute crazy shit.
• 43:56
  SPEAKER_00: He'd summon creatures from other worlds, other dimensions, and uh they just they tear the town to pieces and bubbles along with it.
• 44:02
  SPEAKER_00: I think I don't think it'd be a case of it would be like you know, the win clean, as in there's no collateral damage.
• 44:09
  SPEAKER_00: I think with them two together, Jude Newcomb and Rick from Rick and Moy, I think essentially everything.
• 44:15
  SPEAKER_00: Is destroyed, but bubbles is destroyed along with it.
• 44:19
  SPEAKER_00: That's found going.
• 44:20
  SPEAKER_06: Okay.
• 44:20
  SPEAKER_06: Alright, alright.
• 44:22
  SPEAKER_06: Alright.
• 44:23
  SPEAKER_06: So that's interesting.
• 44:24
  SPEAKER_06: In my version, I have bubbles bringing along Professor Utonium.
• 44:29
  SPEAKER_06: Okay.
• 44:30
  SPEAKER_06: And Professor Utonium is like the he created the Powerpuff Girls, and he also has a bunch of other inventions that she now has access to.
• 44:41
  SPEAKER_06: Uh like she has her own like badass war tech, like a fucking Dune uh a Dune buggy that's all tricked out with weapons, uh, a bunch of uh AI assistance and power armor.
• 44:55
  SPEAKER_06: Um she has all kinds of interesting things, a time portal.
• 45:03
  SPEAKER_06: But I think Duke Nuclear got one too, yeah.
• 45:05
  SPEAKER_06: Duke also has time travel, but now now she has time travel.
• 45:09
  SPEAKER_06: And she also has something that overcomes misogyny, which is a uh a strong and caring support system from a person who is non-toxic.
• 45:24
  SPEAKER_02: Interesting.
• 45:25
  SPEAKER_02: Interesting.
• 45:27
  SPEAKER_02: Okay, all right.
• 45:28
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, uh so for me, um on Duke's side, I actually see him.
• 45:34
  SPEAKER_02: Um, you know, we're talking in this era.
• 45:36
  SPEAKER_02: What's interesting though is Duke is from the same era as the Powerpuff Girl.
• 45:40
  SPEAKER_02: Um I would say that Is he really?
• 45:43
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, Powerpuff Girls were 98.
• 45:45
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, I think it's 90s, isn't it?
• 45:46
  SPEAKER_00: Like Duke Nuke was 90s.
• 45:47
  SPEAKER_06: Duke Nuke was older than that, right?
• 45:49
  SPEAKER_06: I think it was like early 90s.
• 45:50
  SPEAKER_02: Uh Duke would be 96, yeah.
• 45:52
  SPEAKER_02: 96, yeah.
• 45:54
  SPEAKER_02: Um, but uh I think that Duke is going to bring Doom Guy.
• 46:01
  SPEAKER_02: Um Doom Guy, yeah.
• 46:03
  SPEAKER_02: The slayer of the Doom franchise.
• 46:06
  SPEAKER_02: Um I think that those two are you know are gonna be on the one team.
• 46:14
  SPEAKER_02: Um the the only thing I would say I think that do uh Duke is bringing in someone who's a little more powerful than him because Doom Guy had the good sense just to shut the fuck up and you know kill demons.
• 46:27
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah you know, allowing his you know his lifespan to continue.
• 46:31
  SPEAKER_02: Um you know, uh he uh he has no you know incriminating tweets following him.
• 46:38
  SPEAKER_00: He's all friends and uh he's he just turns up and gets the job done.
• 46:43
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah, you know, he's here to you know kill unnatural things.
• 46:47
  SPEAKER_03: I don't think he'd team up with Duke Nukem.
• 46:49
  SPEAKER_06: I think he would refuse.
• 46:50
  SPEAKER_06: I think Duke Nukem has historically had a hard time making friends.
• 46:56
  SPEAKER_06: I think that I think that there's a reason for that.
• 47:00
  SPEAKER_02: Well, so he's the 69th president.
• 47:01
  SPEAKER_06: So he's gonna bring then um uh I mean I guess his VP Oh Camacho from from Idiocracy.
• 47:09
  SPEAKER_06: Hmm.
• 47:10
  SPEAKER_06: That's interesting.
• 47:11
  SPEAKER_06: The previous president or next president or Rudy Giuliani.
• 47:15
  SPEAKER_05: He would sign on.
• 47:18
  SPEAKER_03: I'll do literally anything.
• 47:20
  SPEAKER_03: I will do anything.
• 47:22
  SPEAKER_02: Um interesting.
• 47:23
  SPEAKER_02: But then I think the bubbles is gonna bring Buttercup.
• 47:28
  SPEAKER_02: Um and uh you know, buttercup's just gonna drop down and she's in serious.
• 47:33
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
• 47:33
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
• 47:34
  SPEAKER_02: Um man, so that's a tough one.
• 47:36
  SPEAKER_02: You know, there's a lot of chances, a lot of people, everyone can bring a lot of different ways this can go.
• 47:41
  SPEAKER_02: Um you know, I think it I think it I think it really hinges on who Duke Newcomb is able to bring, and that I think that's his problem, and maybe his downfall in this regard is that he doesn't have too many friends.
• 47:55
  SPEAKER_06: Yeah.
• 47:56
  SPEAKER_06: Um this was a this was a this was the same problem that um that John Wick had.
• 48:01
  SPEAKER_06: We we kind of got to the end and we were like, god damn, John Wick has no friends.
• 48:05
  SPEAKER_06: Yeah, he kills this change.
• 48:07
  SPEAKER_06: Everyone's dead.
• 48:08
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, everyone's dead, or John Liguizamo, which ain't gonna help you too much.
• 48:13
  SPEAKER_02: Um yeah, so I I think uh yeah, that's a tough one, and I think that might really hurt Duke here.
• 48:18
  SPEAKER_02: Well, so uh Jay, bringing it back to you, um, final thoughts.
• 48:21
  SPEAKER_02: Uh what do you think happens?
• 48:22
  SPEAKER_02: And then let's get a vote.
• 48:24
  SPEAKER_02: Even even Rick, even Rick would be at some point be like, god damn, like what am I doing here?
• 48:29
  SPEAKER_00: Well, I think the problem talking that and thinking about it, the thing with Rick is he's very self-centered and wants to do his own thing, but Jude Newcomb's also like that as well.
• 48:38
  SPEAKER_00: Like they're both one-man armies.
• 48:40
  SPEAKER_00: Um, so like you said, they're wrecking the Doom guy.
• 48:43
  SPEAKER_00: Well, he's got a mission, but he wouldn't work alongside uh Jute Newcomb because June Newcomb, like like you say, has his own agenda uh and he's not very morally um you know, uh forthright, should we say?
• 48:56
  SPEAKER_00: So I think he would be quite alone.
• 48:58
  SPEAKER_00: Um maybe Riddick, if Riddick turned up, like we said before, but I again I think he's he's one-man army too.
• 49:04
  SPEAKER_00: So uh whereas Bubbles could really call upon a lot of people because she has uh she's built a lot of good, like, you know, good moral standing, she's helped people, she's beaten a lot of um a lot of enemies as well.
• 49:17
  SPEAKER_00: So I think uh as much as it pains me to say this, I think uh I think it will be bubbles.
• 49:22
  SPEAKER_00: If she certainly she brought a sister, if she brought um you know Blossom or Buttercup, I think the two of them uh would cause absolute chaos and they'd just they rain shit down on whoever tried to fight them, I think.
• 49:32
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, so my vote would be bubbles.
• 49:35
  SPEAKER_02: Okay, yeah, no, uh Professor James.
• 49:38
  SPEAKER_06: Professor Utonium's just like remember, he's like this because nobody loved him.
• 49:42
  SPEAKER_02: You know, yeah, trying to make sure that she doesn't pull the bad lesson from this.
• 49:47
  SPEAKER_06: Yeah.
• 49:48
  SPEAKER_06: Like, remember, he's doing this because he's all look, he's all alone.
• 49:52
  SPEAKER_06: Look, I'm here for you.
• 49:53
  SPEAKER_06: Yeah, but he doesn't have anybody, and if he does have anybody, it's a very brief relationship where where he cannot really rely on them because nobody can because Duke Nukem either kills or fucks any anything he sees.
• 50:08
  SPEAKER_05: Duke Newcomb's going to that's not sustainable.
• 50:11
  SPEAKER_02: Okay, yeah.
• 50:12
  SPEAKER_02: I mean, you it no one I mean, yeah, and and that could definitely be why when they tried to put Duke out again that it just didn't work.
• 50:20
  SPEAKER_02: Um but uh I so for me I I think so it was brought up uh Riddick.
• 50:26
  SPEAKER_02: I I think he might bring along Riddick.
• 50:32
  SPEAKER_02: Um, you know, they're within that same sort of realm.
• 50:34
  SPEAKER_02: I can see them encountering each other in one of Duke's, you know, accidental whips through space.
• 50:40
  SPEAKER_02: Uh Riddick is essentially space Duke.
• 50:43
  SPEAKER_02: Um kind of.
• 50:45
  SPEAKER_02: You know.
• 50:45
  SPEAKER_02: Um, so I could see that being the case.
• 50:48
  SPEAKER_02: I I think if Riddick shows up, the Powerpuff girls might be in some trouble.
• 50:53
  SPEAKER_06: Uh I but Riddick also has moments of personal growth.
• 50:57
  SPEAKER_06: Whereas Duke Duke does not.
• 50:59
  SPEAKER_06: Um I think that anyone else who get some the person that would have to go with Duke would have to be like an uh an incredibly chaotic, like amoral person.
• 51:10
  SPEAKER_06: Because they don't nobody shares his interests.
• 51:13
  SPEAKER_06: Like there's nobody out there who like shares the goal of Duke Newcomb being emperor of the United States.
• 51:18
  SPEAKER_06: There's no one out there who's like, yes, that's exactly what I want.
• 51:21
  SPEAKER_06: We're we're the same, you know?
• 51:23
  SPEAKER_06: High five.
• 51:25
  SPEAKER_06: But you'd you'd just want someone who'd like want to be there for Carnage or just America in general.
• 51:30
  SPEAKER_06: Um so then that's who he'd bring.
• 51:32
  SPEAKER_02: He'd bring Carnage.
• 51:33
  SPEAKER_02: Um there you go.
• 51:35
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, the Marvel villain Carnage.
• 51:38
  SPEAKER_06: And uh also damaged by toxic masculinity.
• 51:42
  SPEAKER_02: Uh, there you have it.
• 51:44
  SPEAKER_02: I I I think we're pretty all on the same page then with this one.
• 51:47
  SPEAKER_02: I think that the Pine Buff girls are gonna take it in round three.
• 51:49
  SPEAKER_06: Yeah.
• 51:51
  SPEAKER_02: Good job, Bubbles.
• 51:52
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, congratulations, Bubbles.
• 51:54
  SPEAKER_02: You have done it.
• 51:55
  SPEAKER_02: Um sorry, Mr.
• 51:56
  SPEAKER_02: Newcomb.
• 51:57
  SPEAKER_02: You did not do it.
• 51:59
  SPEAKER_02: Grow a little bit.
• 52:01
  SPEAKER_02: Just make some effort.
• 52:03
  SPEAKER_02: Put in a little effort.
• 52:05
  SPEAKER_02: But see, but that's the problem.
• 52:06
  SPEAKER_02: If if all of your negative behaviors keep rewarding you, then you know the chance for growth is very, very limited.
• 52:13
  SPEAKER_02: You know, and he became the 69th president and 420.
• 52:17
  SPEAKER_02: The voters really responded to not giving a shit about other people.
• 52:21
  SPEAKER_02: I wonder if there's any sort of you know real life precedence to that.
• 52:25
  SPEAKER_02: I don't know.
• 52:25
  SPEAKER_02: I have no idea.
