• 3:00
  SPEAKER_03: Then it breaks down into a fist fight, as those things often do.
• 3:03

  SPEAKER_04: They're so sustainable.
• 12:44
  SPEAKER_04: They look they have fun the whole time.
• 12:47
  SPEAKER_04: They have like a very indigenous style culture where they they create things from natural elements.
• 12:53
  SPEAKER_04: They have a comedy club that's you know made out of uh looks like bamboo, which is a very sustainable building material, grows incredibly quickly, uses up very few resources, incredibly durable.
• 13:03
  SPEAKER_03: Like and their their basketball teams focus on fundamentals, and it's true.
• 13:08
  SPEAKER_03: They're not showy.
• 13:09
  SPEAKER_03: Well, neither look, and uh I try not to take the podcast this direction, but the modern NBA, they aren't showy anymore either.
• 13:16
  SPEAKER_03: It's just three, it's just three-pointer after three-pointer, very boring.
• 13:19
  SPEAKER_03: I've never liked basketball.
• 13:20
  SPEAKER_04: Very boring.
• 13:21
  SPEAKER_04: I have no comment.
• 13:23
  SPEAKER_04: Basketball has always been boring to me.
• 13:26
  SPEAKER_04: Well, good I got wrapped up in the Michael Jordan excitement of the 90s because I was a dumb child.
• 13:31
  SPEAKER_03: But otherwise back when they actually jumped at the hoop.
• 13:33
  SPEAKER_03: Now it's they they don't anymore.
• 13:35
  SPEAKER_04: But um back when our sports stars were also gambling addicts.
• 13:40
  SPEAKER_04: We gotta get back to those days.
• 13:42
  SPEAKER_03: I think that steroid injection should be mandatory.
• 13:47
  SPEAKER_03: Uh so Amazonia, solid, solid.
• 13:50
  SPEAKER_04: James, what about you?
• 13:52
  SPEAKER_04: Um so I was thinking immediately the aliens that I would like to have sex with are the ones from uh Mass Effect, uh, the Asari.
• 14:04
  SPEAKER_04: Okay.
• 14:05
  SPEAKER_04: No, the the Elkor, but the ones that the ones that talk that say their emotions, and they look they look like they look like ground sloths.
• 14:13
  SPEAKER_03: Can we just take the guesswork out of this whole emotion thing?
• 14:18
  SPEAKER_04: They just say their emotions.
• 14:21
  SPEAKER_04: There's one.
• 14:22
  SPEAKER_04: There is one in one of the games who's like, I would like to reproduce, and like and then like they say like persuadely or something like that.
• 14:32
  SPEAKER_04: It's very funny.

  SPEAKER_04: The also are hilarious, but no.
• 14:40
  SPEAKER_04: Reproduce what?
• 14:42
  SPEAKER_04: Um I'll try anything once.
• 14:44
  SPEAKER_04: But there's like in that game, there's like a whole race of like super sensual aliens.
• 14:49
  SPEAKER_04: Like they have the ability to connect with you emotionally through touch, I think.
• 14:56
  SPEAKER_04: Um and they're like this super uh this super uh emotionally adept race of femme presenting aliens who uh who can totally mate with humans and do frequently.
• 15:11
  SPEAKER_04: It's very interesting.
• 15:23
  SPEAKER_04: Yeah, um, they're they're like an incredibly healthy uh society, except for of course, uh the rest of the universe comes in and pollutes it with capitalism.
• 15:32
  SPEAKER_04: Uh too bad.
• 15:36
  SPEAKER_04: Oh well.
• 15:37

  SPEAKER_04: Not most of us are one of them.
• 15:51
  SPEAKER_03: I'm gonna go join the predators.
• 15:53
  SPEAKER_03: Uh that's a good choice.
• 15:54
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah, I'm gonna go join the predators.
• 15:56
  SPEAKER_03: Uh do you like hunting?
• 15:57
  SPEAKER_03: I mean, so I would join up.
• 16:00
  SPEAKER_03: Um, you know, and I'm I'm gonna come back around and ask you guys like what this looks like for you now.
• 16:06
  SPEAKER_03: Um, so I would join up.
• 16:07
  SPEAKER_03: I I would do the hybridization, you know.
• 16:10
  SPEAKER_03: I I gotta be at least competing on the same level here.
• 16:12
  SPEAKER_03: We're a very competitive species.
• 16:14
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
• 16:14
  SPEAKER_03: Um, and I'll be like, look, we could hunt four dudes in the jungle who are making fifty thousand dollars a year.
• 16:22
  SPEAKER_03: Or, or I happen to know about you know ten really rich people surrounded by competition, right?
• 16:33
  SPEAKER_03: You know, weapons, all that kind of stuff.
• 16:36
  SPEAKER_03: That's right.
• 16:36
  SPEAKER_03: You want a challenge.
• 16:38
  SPEAKER_04: Yes, we're gonna go hunting.
• 16:41
  SPEAKER_04: Because guess what?
• 16:41
  SPEAKER_04: You're totally right that their prey does not have the resources that they have.
• 16:45
  SPEAKER_03: Exactly.
• 16:46
  SPEAKER_03: And I'm gonna bring that revolution to the predators.
• 16:50
  SPEAKER_04: So do you think the predators are like the fox hunters of the galaxy almost?
• 16:56
  SPEAKER_04: Do you think like they're the rich people who go like show hunting?
• 17:00
  SPEAKER_03: Is that part of predator culture sometimes?
• 17:02
  SPEAKER_03: So like I'm a huge predator nerd.
• 17:04
  SPEAKER_03: And and you don't think politics get in the way of it sometimes?
• 17:07
  SPEAKER_03: Not at all.
• 17:07
  SPEAKER_03: And that's like one of the things that like the other races are fascinated by that they have no um they're they like a lot of people like they just have all this technology, but they're so focused on their tradition and just hunting that they don't seem to have any one structural society, and it confuses the rest of the species.
• 17:29
  SPEAKER_03: They don't know how these guys function.
• 17:30
  SPEAKER_04: Maybe maybe that ended up being the sustainable solution.
• 17:34
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah, and that's what it was, and especially because there's species, they they rage, they have like they get injected by hormones and things that just cause them to get pissed all the time.
• 17:43
  SPEAKER_03: Uh-huh.
• 17:44
  SPEAKER_03: Um, and they only meet up to fuck, and then they go spread out, hunt, come back, fuck, tell stories, go hunt again.
• 17:51
  SPEAKER_03: And I'm gonna show this species, um, you know, hey, there's there's bigger prey on earth.
• 17:59
  SPEAKER_03: But you can also fuck them because I'm going with the hybrid thing.
• 18:03
  SPEAKER_03: Like they're gonna inject me with stuff, and all of a sudden I start.
• 18:05
  SPEAKER_03: You're gonna rage fuck.
• 18:06
  SPEAKER_03: I suddenly start finding this this predator woman with mandible sex scene.
• 18:11
  SPEAKER_03: Like, what is happening with me?
• 18:14
  SPEAKER_03: Um yeah, so that's where I'm going.
• 18:16
  SPEAKER_03: Um so so Nathan, back to you real quick.
• 18:19
  SPEAKER_03: So so you've been inducted into I guess the sisterhood for with the Amazonians.
• 18:26
  SPEAKER_03: Well, what does this new life look like for you?
• 18:29
  SPEAKER_03: You left Earth behind because fuck that.
• 18:32
  SPEAKER_01: Uh dead by crushed pelvis within about seven hours, probably.
• 18:38
  SPEAKER_04: It's quick.
• 18:39
  SPEAKER_04: You don't even want to even in your scenario, you're not like, well, I survive and we coexist, or no one just dead.
• 18:47
  SPEAKER_04: Bring it on, ladies.
• 18:51
  SPEAKER_04: I I would like a quick, joyous release from this mortal coil.
• 18:57
  SPEAKER_04: And they are happy to oblige.
• 19:04
  SPEAKER_04: And they all smell great doing it.
• 19:06
  SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
• 19:06
  SPEAKER_04: Oh, yeah.
• 19:07
  SPEAKER_04: Bring your bounty of soap.
• 19:10
  SPEAKER_01: They'll need the soap after I'm done.
• 19:15
  SPEAKER_03: I love it.
• 19:17
  SPEAKER_03: He knows what he wants.
• 19:18
  SPEAKER_03: He knows what he wants.
• 19:19
  SPEAKER_04: It's plant-based, it moisturizes.
• 19:21
  SPEAKER_04: It's great.
• 19:22
  SPEAKER_03: All right.
• 19:22
  SPEAKER_03: I like it.
• 19:23
  SPEAKER_03: I like it.
• 19:24
  SPEAKER_03: Um so James, you've been inducted.
• 19:27
  SPEAKER_03: What what what does your new life look like?
• 19:30
  SPEAKER_04: So I'd say my new life is probably a lot like my current life.
• 19:34
  SPEAKER_04: I probably, you know, of course I'd have to make sure everything was cool with my wife first before any of that, any of that sensual stuff, but like all the all the uh aliens on the planet are like they they have their own gender preferences and there's bisexual aliens.
• 19:52
  SPEAKER_04: Uh uh sorry.
• 19:54
  SPEAKER_04: Um I don't know.
• 19:55
  SPEAKER_04: I think it'd just mostly be my life, except uh all these really like in touch, like very good communicators are everywhere.
• 20:05
  SPEAKER_04: And that sounds like a lot better than this current world that is like all of our society is based on information that gives you an advantage over another person, and so uh so things are really tough.
• 20:21
  SPEAKER_01: This is so this is like so typical, um, James and every one of us.
• 20:26
  SPEAKER_01: Because every time there's a question like this, mine is always like the sex and the money.
• 20:31
  SPEAKER_01: Um, Ryan's always like killing death or hunting, and James is always like, I'm just happy as I am, and like I want things in the community.
• 20:42
  SPEAKER_04: I just want to connect with some people.
• 20:46
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah, it's true.
• 20:47
  SPEAKER_03: Every time, yep, yep, yep, that's true.
• 20:50
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah, no, and I guess uh for me, uh you know, I just continue uh you know hunting rich folk and trying to convince my predator brothers and sisters that the planet that James is on does not need to be hunted.
• 21:04
  SPEAKER_03: And I I guess we could hunt the Amazonians.
• 21:06
  SPEAKER_03: Uh maybe he died seven hours ago.
• 21:10
  SPEAKER_03: He's already gone anyway.
• 21:11
  SPEAKER_03: He's already gone.
• 21:12
  SPEAKER_03: So yeah, free game.
• 21:15
  SPEAKER_04: Um well there you have it, folks.
• 21:17
  SPEAKER_04: So uh honestly, the am Amazonian the Amazonians would be like well suited to the to the way predators hunt right now.
• 21:25
  SPEAKER_04: Like they'd be a well-suited uh competition for the predators because they exist at the the level of of primitive weapons and stuff that they reduce their prey to.
• 21:35
  SPEAKER_04: Um so I mean they'd be I don't know.
• 21:37
  SPEAKER_04: Yeah, no, I we'd probably visit them anytime.
• 21:40
  SPEAKER_04: Yeah, you feel like predators.
• 21:43
  SPEAKER_04: Oh, sorry.
• 21:44
  SPEAKER_04: Well, predators sometimes got, they get got.
• 21:47
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, you think predators are just like humans if the purge was real and regular, you know.
• 21:52
  SPEAKER_01: If like we had to go out, you know, if people go out hunting for the purge and stuff, and then they think maybe we can do better.
• 21:57
  SPEAKER_01: So with like modifications, body modifications, weaponry, and stuff like that, and then it just keeps escalating.
• 22:02
  SPEAKER_01: They they increase it.
• 22:06
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah, yeah.
• 22:07
  SPEAKER_03: Like what if we made our purge everyone else's problem?
• 22:11
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, yeah, because when we done out of like we think, well, if we purge every
• 22:15
  SPEAKER_04: ourselves we we we're running low on numbers now so let's go purge others yeah let's bring this to them well i like it you know i think that's interesting interesting about predators uh you know in a lot of the movies some predators die like it's not uncommon for predators to die on a hunt and so like they they spend their time hunting and then i assume on their hunts they gather resources because like i bet they can end up selling some of the trophies you know um but like that's how they live their life is like this nomadic resource hunter gatherer and um uh that that might be another reason why they haven't like overpopulated and taken over is because so they they put themselves in danger consistently as part of their culture.
• 23:02
  SPEAKER_03: No and I'm reading a book right now um and there there's this weird attack and people go like predators don't wage war and like there's no war in their society.
• 23:12
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah they don't do that sort of thing they don't have like blood feuds and shit like that but there's never a full on invasion or anything they don't care.
• 23:18
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah like we're here to hunt something and then go back and fuck and then go hunt something again.
• 23:24
  SPEAKER_03: They they figured it out they really figured it out agrarianism is not sustainable.
• 23:30
  SPEAKER_03: So there you have it folks um fucking killing society community um we go for the same shit every time but uh so it's time to move into the second part of our podcast it's time for a fight um this week we have Nemesis of the Resident Evil series versus Isabella oh yeah Isabella Isabella of what's her it's Encanto Encanto Isabella of Encanto uh Encanto is an amazing movie if you haven't seen it see it sounds good all right so before we do that though we gotta get a little more drunk we gotta get a little more high uh Nathan I've been seeing you drinking your beer the whole time I hope you got some more of that left yeah I got some I got some did we lose Nathan oh no am I can you not hear me wait we can hear you now we can hear you now yeah all right good good yeah I've still got my beer all right we're back all right well let's pour them up this one goes out to our fighters this week Isabella versus Nemesis cheers let's go nothing more hydrating than makers mark oh shit that was a lot oh no you didn't cough yeah it just went straight in yeah looking like a chap yeah my body is just very accepting of it right now which is not great I'm gonna be so high all right all right so for those of you this is your first this is your first episode welcome this is how we do our fights we have these two characters so three round method guaranteed to get you the best results that you're gonna get um round one we enter into an Applebee's basement where we have a legally distinct fight club being led by Tyler Durden portrayed by Val Gilmer no Val Kilmer died oh shit Val Gilmer died he's dead now yeah I don't know who's uh who's running it anymore we just kind of like you know you go over there from the balcony in in the ring.
• 25:40
  SPEAKER_03: Well we we try and corral them in and uh these two characters just fight punch for punch pound for pound they get nothing extra they don't get to bring anything they're stripped down and we force them to fight um I guess with a series of cattle prods and pulleys that's how we get it done right now.
• 25:59
  SPEAKER_03: Round two we transfer into a city view where these characters have 24 hours to kill the other one.
• 26:04
  SPEAKER_03: They get everything that makes them them they have access to the city itself and then round three is the same thing as round two except this time they get to bring a friend.
• 26:13
  SPEAKER_04: Transferring into round one Cher has just been seated followed by Carl Urban the stains of Val Kilmer's bloodstains from when he was attacked by a Velociraptor are still pooled on the ground we're not gonna claim that sample piece is closing down um and so uh we've all been seated it's time to get this fight on round one pound for pound punch for punch nothing extra we have nemesis stripped down versus Isabella actually under the clothes totally normal looking totally normal looking guy that's weird you're like wow it's a great dawn yeah whoa um I thought it would be misshape yeah no it's just like a perfectly symmetrical fucking hammer uh Nathan guests first who wins so would um would would Isabella keep her kind of supernatural powers or is it literally so is it so it it's intrinsic to her I mean she did she did have access to it yeah what her power yeah yeah her power is innate to her I don't yeah yeah yeah she'd have them yeah okay yeah then I she can make plants out of nothing yeah so I I assume she you know I can just envision kind of vines just kind of popping up tying him up and I think he will resist at first and probably break out of the first couple um he'd probably be fighting the vines um unless he got a punch in really quick um I don't think that he could be a um yeah he'd he'd have to kind of he'd he'd have to go quick because once she kind of figured it out how strong he was she she would kind of restrain him and we're all right well uh well James how do you think this round's gonna go I totally agree I think that Nemesis I don't think Nemesis stands much of a chance uh Isabella can create uh vines and trees she like skateboards through the sky on vines um uh yeah she holds she holds down her she like grabs her sister with vines and like pushes her backward with them so she totally knows how to use a a plant to maneuver a person yeah I don't think I don't think nemesis stands a chance he doesn't have he doesn't have any guns or anything well what I think uh I I I see it working in Nemesis's favor just because of uh a lack of hesitation to take a left yeah she doesn't have to kill him she just needs to incapacitate him um but I I I think in that so I you know I see a situation this this fight plays out a hundred times uh you know I I think in a good number of them it's just this instant thing where she gets her head punched off oh she's like what's going on here yeah and he's just so slowly focused I mean he's uh he's a fucking bioweapon right um who you know and then at the same time he's also fucking undead yeah um so I I think just his innate structure sometimes is gonna play in his advantage and for for me I I it's just kind of a fluctuating to figure out you know which way the numbers really push on that how many times is he gonna get the the surprise just one hit kill.
• 29:40
  SPEAKER_03: Right.
• 29:41
  SPEAKER_03: You know um yeah I don't know so well well Nathan uh what what are your thoughts on a vote?
• 29:47
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah I I'm gonna it is a surprise thing but I I I am gonna go for Isabella.
• 29:53
  SPEAKER_01: I can just you know he's gonna have a a tree sapling up his arse and then expand into a full tree and kind of blow him up from the inside.
• 30:01
  SPEAKER_01: She makes it nasty yeah that that that's what I envisioned the victory.
• 30:05
  SPEAKER_01: But yeah.
• 30:06
  SPEAKER_04: That's pretty amazing I hadn't thought of that.
• 30:09
  SPEAKER_04: But uh yeah she's able to create like a huge fully grown palm tree out of nothing.
• 30:13
  SPEAKER_04: So that's a pretty good kill tactic.
• 30:15
  SPEAKER_04: I think she's gonna get him and I think that um oh shit I had someone was gonna say I'm so high.
• 30:23
  SPEAKER_00: Give me just a sec.
• 30:25
  SPEAKER_04: Uh yeah okay so she uses her powers like very reflexively.
• 30:29
  SPEAKER_04: At one point in the movie she slaps her sis like she flips her hair and it hits her sister in the face and like her sister's face is covered in flowers.
• 30:37
  SPEAKER_04: She like uses her powers so reflexively I don't think that nemesis could stand a chance her against her.
• 30:44
  SPEAKER_04: If she if if she like went to go move like plants would help her move.
• 30:48
  SPEAKER_04: That's how that's how effective she is with her powers.
• 30:50
  SPEAKER_04: Gotcha.
• 30:51
  SPEAKER_03: Okay well I mean that's uh that's that's a hard one to do um you know I I do think in the hundred match you know lineup I do think nemesis is gonna give that shot in every once in a while it's like in Rocket League where you go straight at it and you hit it and it's a perfect goal and you're like oh well that normally doesn't happen.
• 31:11
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah uh everyone take your shots um so I do think I do think that it's not a guaranteed win um but I do think that the numbers are enough on her side to yeah to send the voting her way and uh I do see the where she witcher style makes the tree grow out of him.
• 31:31
  SPEAKER_04: Yeah she she makes a vine and it goes into his mouth and down his throat and just kind of swirls around a little bit.
• 31:39
  SPEAKER_04: She makes it real fucked up.
• 31:41
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah yeah all right yeah all right so uh all right well congratulations Isabella you have taken round one Isabella Madria way to go which brings us into round two we've zoomed out into a city view these characters have received a manila envelope underneath their apartment doors that lets them know they have 24 hours to kill the other one.
• 31:59
  SPEAKER_03: Um and let's get it on so uh guests first Nathan they have everything everything that you've ever seen them with except friends how's this one gonna play out so I I would imagine this would be slightly different because Nemesis is kind of a like like you mentioned before he's buyer weapon um he can use weapons and I think that plants aren't going to be a good shield for guns and bullets really good point.
• 32:30
  SPEAKER_03: Unless she can unless she can get the drop on him but he's gonna be looking for her so I I'd imagine that yeah she's not gonna have chance to use her powers because yeah uh I yeah bullet travels faster than a vine true yeah that's very true it's very true I I'm now seeing because we were just talking about the predator I'm now seeing this like Arnold Schwarzenegger style firing from the hip just turning her into jelly I so so guns are a big deal I don't think they came up a lot in in her film.
• 33:07
  SPEAKER_04: No in her film her uh uh her grandfather was killed by like we saw her grandfather was killed by like colonizers we think uh but they're like shadowy figures then they end up having machetes um and but not guns machetes also pretty good against plants yeah but she like she can create them out of nothing so if something is to like destroy one of her plants that means nothing to her she could simply create another one yeah uh immediately um and also you know when you use weapons you do have to aim and hitting a moving target is notoriously difficult uh when you're using a handheld weapon we have a weapons expert here a person who is trained in many different types of weapons like how easy is it to like track a target that could be moving like 45 or 50 miles an hour in and it does not have to be linear.
• 33:57
  SPEAKER_03: So thanks for providing a good segue into my new business which is uh like the rush ball selling and training um oh we're talking about Ryan oh sorry well there there's a thing so when you start going down those roads of being trained in various weapons um you're introduced eventually to the red dot site uh and the red dot makes it terrifyingly like holy shit it is so easy to kill a guy well Jill Valentine dodges his fucking guns um so I I would so I would say um that the because so the the kind of weapons that they let um fucking Nemesis come out with he's got a he's got a Gatling gun yeah and he he's got a I think it's like a rail gun and he and he's also got a rocket launcher yeah I the a flamethrower she'll get like a few weed shields up yeah and but then eventually he's just gonna break through that um and and I think flamethrower is a pretty bad one against plans.
• 35:06
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah I I think he's gonna turn this poor girl into jelly uh um and especially if he if he adopts the um the the mechanics of later resident evil villains uh where he's just unstoppable walking for you yeah um I I I think that she is in for one hell of a ride and it's not gonna end well.
• 35:30
  SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
• 35:31
  SPEAKER_04: I mean what stops her from growing a palm tree and exploding him again I guess it's it's it's how quickly he moves on the gun what she needs to focus on.
• 35:39
  SPEAKER_04: I think it just all comes down to how long he can squeeze the trigger because as soon as the first palm tree goes she has to grow the second one while that second grenade is already midair it's true she is she she is Nathan can attest to this he has seen in Kanto I'm sure your children have made you watch it many times um but uh but you you've you've seen testaments to her power in that she can grow like a whole room of plants like it doesn't have to be just one plant or something she can grow a whole room of them she can grow a whole town of them it within a second.
• 36:16
  SPEAKER_03: Well so the the one last thing that I want to say so I I have seen um a gatling gun fired like I was standing there I I've watched an A10 fire a Gatling gun at a tank uh and um so you hear so you see all of a sudden the tank turns into cheese.
• 36:40
  SPEAKER_03: Okay.
• 36:41
  SPEAKER_03: And then about five seconds later you hear and then there's just this huge gust of wind.
• 36:48
  SPEAKER_04: And oh well in that case you know Nemesis is a trained killing bioweapon also that's like we saw in if you go off the movie um he's being controlled and he he essentially has like a AR system in his vision with like targeting yeah yeah and you so you this dude's a walking a 10 yeah yeah and but I see it I see the scene we don't actually know we don't actually know if he does have a butthole so it's not confirmed.
• 37:22
  SPEAKER_01: That's true.
• 37:23
  SPEAKER_03: Can we get Capcom on the phone?
• 37:25
  SPEAKER_03: Does Nemesis have an asshole?
• 37:27
  SPEAKER_04: I think it's true if Nemesis just swings around with that fucking Gatling gun she won't have an opportunity to get like a Vine or anything or a flamethrower rocket launcher or whatever he's using.
• 37:37
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah he has like he has like a uh he has tank weapons now yeah yeah and I I I can see like this this scenario where you know her production company's like let's scar some children and she like she like hobbles out of like the A10 fire and like her leg is dripping off like when you weed whack weeds you know and you know she's like her skull's dripping off one side and he's then he just finishes it he steps on her.
• 38:05
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah or or he uses uh no grow.
• 38:08
  SPEAKER_03: There you go he just kind of spritzes then walks away yeah he just uses some spritz you know that he does on the lawn.
• 38:16
  SPEAKER_03: Uh well so uh I I feel like we have our votes already are are we all going for nemesis in this one?
• 38:21
  SPEAKER_04: Yeah yeah sometimes it just happens like this happen it happens this way a lot where someone takes the first round someone else takes the second it's just people have different strengths.
• 38:31
  SPEAKER_03: Exactly exactly um yeah no now I'm also seeing the situation where fucking Nemesis uses some weed killer napalm and it gets really sick Agent Orange all right so transitioning into round three um we've now we're still in that city view except this time everyone gets to bring a friend oh good um so uh Nathan what happens who are they bringing how does this play out so I guess what I would envision is Isabella would bring uh Bruno but that's all I can say on the matter no um he well he predicts the future yeah so I I I could imagine him doing kind of a Doctor Strange sort of thing where he looks into the future to see how to defeat him tell Isabella um but then I'm thinking can he actually do it that way because a lot of the film is about him predicting bad things and then doing nothing to stop it.
• 39:35
  SPEAKER_01: So I wonder right I wonder if he can change the future or does it always we're gonna die do you know do you know what a gun is it's apparently bad I'm getting visions right now okay interesting I seem like that would be your best chance is to use Bruno um to kind of predict maybe she can get the drop on him maybe they can come up with a plan.
• 40:00
  SPEAKER_04: I would disagree yeah I was gonna say James is looking disgruntled James what do you think I think you'd bring Louisa Louisa like literally has she's she's so indestructible that like rocks break on her like uh even bullets like can break rocks but like sometimes bullets bounce off rocks and she throws rocks up in the air they fall down and break on her yeah I mean she's like almost indestructible well don't forget the rocket launcher indestructible like seriously she is so she she takes her foot out while carrying some like hund a ton of donkeys she puts her foot out and and kicks a church and she has enough precision to not break the church but push the church back into place.
• 40:48
  SPEAKER_04: Interesting so she has like incredibly precise powerful almost like she's indestructible physically the movie portrays.
• 40:58
  SPEAKER_03: Sure emotionally she is destructible but but but she's indestructible physically well well so so um so you you guys are definitely the experts on on that side of the house in this in this particular episode um so I I'm gonna come in um so what I think is gonna happen here so you you do have some impressive powers there um and what's interesting and then what I think is most interesting about this one is usually we have that kind of villain character.
• 41:26
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah and he's like he doesn't have friends.
• 41:28
  SPEAKER_04: This guy has friends this guy has many many many fucking friends because he's part of the umbrella he's just an umbrella weapon yeah and he has access to all of umbrella's other weapons we should kick it to Nate first to see what he thinks about yeah so Nate what what do you think what do you what do you think on in terms of who who is nemesis bringing I'm sure you have plenty ID I do I have many you know I'm not I'm not really sure I guess it would be um I gu I guess it would be Weska um also a solid fucking choice I mean he's great he's a goddamn anime ninja with guns yeah yeah uh there are so many villains um Lady Dimitri who who made it to what was it second place she didn't win because of Austin Powers right yeah Austin Powers was the one who finally took her but I'm pretty sure that she was in our tournament like number two she won't be she was high I think she was silver medal um incredibly powerful uh the bat guy the giant bat so you remember the giant bat from four oh yeah um uh he's got the family from Biohazard he's he's got um he's got them fucking all man I he's got so he's got tyrant yeah well then we'll just one more thing that I would add on Nemesis's side whoever he brings he could bring a fucking liquor yeah um and they are biological in nature yeah and the whole theme of Resident Evil is this like a drop of blood gets in the water yeah and it's it's a wrap.
• 43:08
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah um and so I I see a situation where fucking uh cities is get zombified where nemesis just bleeds into the water that Isabella just sucks into herself and all of a sudden her eyes are bleeding and she's starting to rage on things she kills Bruno and she just becomes a new nemesis who can control these zombified plants.
• 43:32
  SPEAKER_04: Making her a zombie is an interesting um if he had someone like Wesker there to plan it because Wesker is a planner uh I feel like I feel like per Wesker is also very quick to use the virus.
• 43:47
  SPEAKER_03: He has he has no fucks given yeah none at all.
• 43:51
  SPEAKER_04: He is very quick to in fact the places like this just gives me more control you know and he's very excited to show you how much of a ninja he is um wow yeah I don't know I I well I okay I I there's only one other thing I could say okay is that uh throughout all of Mirabelle they're like oh she doesn't have a gift she doesn't have a gift well something That I've noticed personally, and I haven't seen any conversation about this, is that uh Mirabelle can do anything when she's singing, she can um stop time, she can force other people to sing and do anything she sings.
• 44:29
  SPEAKER_04: Yeah, essentially, she controls an entire town with song.
• 44:32
  SPEAKER_04: No one sings without her, she is always present, and everyone's like, you don't have a power.
• 44:37
  SPEAKER_04: And they and when the songs stop, people act like nothing was happening.
• 44:42
  SPEAKER_04: It's like she also erases their minds.
• 44:44
  SPEAKER_04: Yeah, so she's like the most powerful character that I could possibly think of.
• 44:48
  SPEAKER_04: As long as she's singing, she can she can do literally anything.
• 44:52
  SPEAKER_01: Um I don't know if she'd be in the mood to sing if she saw her sister get shredded with a gatling gun.
• 44:59
  SPEAKER_04: I think that if she starts singing immediately, how did we get in this situation?
• 45:05
  SPEAKER_03: Her herself being a product of capitalism, I don't know.
• 45:08
  SPEAKER_04: She's not she she was she's been completely sheltered from capitalism for whole life.
• 45:12
  SPEAKER_03: I'm talking about in Canto.
• 45:13
  SPEAKER_04: Yeah, completely the movie itself.
• 45:15
  SPEAKER_04: Oh, the Disney franchise.
• 45:16
  SPEAKER_04: Yes, she's she's a Disney franchise.
• 45:18
  SPEAKER_04: Oh, she's a part of a franchise.
• 45:19
  SPEAKER_04: Yes.
• 45:20
  SPEAKER_03: And I don't think she'll be able to stop Umbrella because like that's the goal.
• 45:25
  SPEAKER_04: But the Disney, but the Disney Corporation is like the real world umbrella.
• 45:29
  SPEAKER_04: Exactly.
• 45:30
  SPEAKER_03: They have more power, they have actual power.
• 45:33
  SPEAKER_03: Well, um, so uh well we got a lot of interesting things here.
• 45:37
  SPEAKER_03: Um, a lot.
• 45:38
  SPEAKER_03: This is this is interesting.
• 45:39
  SPEAKER_03: I we've never had a villain who can call on so many friends.
• 45:44
  SPEAKER_03: The most friends.
• 45:47
  SPEAKER_03: He's got a lot of like the poker knights are really wild over there.
• 45:51
  SPEAKER_04: Come into the office and and uh big crocodile from from from five where you where you were in Africa because like drinking coffee in the corner.
• 46:01
  SPEAKER_03: Even a crocodile would be fucking dangerous to these to these women.
• 46:06
  SPEAKER_03: Um well Nathan, uh final thoughts and a vote.
• 46:10
  SPEAKER_03: What what the fuck's gonna happen here?
• 46:12
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, I I'm gonna go with uh Nemesis again.
• 46:17
  SPEAKER_01: Um I'm gonna kind of yeah, so what you said kind of inspired me a bit in that.
• 46:22
  SPEAKER_01: I think it will be Wesker, and I think it will be more of a biological warfare than uh than a um assault sort of thing.
• 46:31
  SPEAKER_01: Um Nemesis would take care of the assault, but yeah, Wesker would have them all turned into zombies before Just you start this, I'm gonna finish it.
• 46:41
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah, alright, alright, alright.
• 46:42
  SPEAKER_03: Uh uh James, final thoughts and a vote here.
• 46:45
  SPEAKER_04: Uh it's really hard.
• 46:46
  SPEAKER_04: I this is a tough one.
• 46:48
  SPEAKER_04: It was a real hard one.
• 46:49
  SPEAKER_04: So, yeah, with all the monsters in the world, though, you know how powerful time travel or stopping time is as an ability.
• 46:57
  SPEAKER_04: Like, Mirabelle has the power to stop time and always and succeed.
• 47:02
  SPEAKER_04: This is her other power is like making sure her family is safe.
• 47:07
  SPEAKER_04: Like she's like she's like Dom from Fast and the Furious.
• 47:10
  SPEAKER_04: Remember when we did that one?
• 47:11
  SPEAKER_04: Where his power was keeping his family.
• 47:13
  SPEAKER_04: That's her power, and also stopping time.
• 47:18
  SPEAKER_04: Um, I I think I think that more times than not, Mirabelle wins.
• 47:24
  SPEAKER_04: Uh because of her power, along with Isabella, who is also there.
• 47:28
  SPEAKER_03: Um for me, I I see this story playing out in sort of uh uh a a reverse of tension building.
• 47:37
  SPEAKER_04: Uh-huh.
• 47:37
  SPEAKER_03: Um because by by immediately jumping into Wesker and Nemesis, you've you've reached the peak of tension.
• 47:43
  SPEAKER_03: Uh-huh.
• 47:44
  SPEAKER_03: And you know, I see like the time stopping and the songs are going, and it's really starting to heavily point towards Isabella at that point.
• 47:52
  SPEAKER_03: But then, you know, it does a quick flashback where that morning they had a glass of water from the tap.
• 47:58
  SPEAKER_03: And like, and she's singing, but then she stops, right?
• 48:01
  SPEAKER_03: And the camera gets in real close and like something's wrong.
• 48:05
  SPEAKER_03: And like her eyes bleeding, yeah.
• 48:07
  SPEAKER_03: And she like reaches up and just looks at the blood drop on her finger and then murders Isabella with a n with a kitchen knife.
• 48:16
  SPEAKER_03: And uh Yeah, I mean that that's what I see, and that's where my vote heads.
• 48:21
  SPEAKER_04: I um you know that is interesting because they've Wesker did those tricks before, didn't you?
• 48:25
  SPEAKER_04: Yeah, like I think they'd played it in the game where where Wesker did a trick, where they did a flashback, and Wesker's like, I did all this to set it up.
• 48:32
  SPEAKER_03: Exactly.
• 48:33
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah, and you thought you were about to win, but then like, oh shit, I drank from the tap.
• 48:37
  SPEAKER_04: I think you did that to Jill to Jill in one of them.
• 48:41
  SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
• 48:42
  SPEAKER_04: And and I think that's and then mind controller.
• 48:44
  SPEAKER_04: What didn't we have?
• 48:45
  SPEAKER_04: A mind-controlled Jill?
• 48:46
  SPEAKER_04: Yes.
• 48:46
  SPEAKER_04: Or Claire.
• 48:47
  SPEAKER_04: It was one of them a mind-controlled Claire.
• 48:50
  SPEAKER_03: And I and I think that's what we're gonna see here.
• 48:52
  SPEAKER_03: Um, and you know, I think for a second there you're like, oh shit, um, Nemesis is gonna go down.
• 48:57
  SPEAKER_03: And then Wesker reveals that you always drink bottled, bro.
• 49:03
  SPEAKER_03: Except Nestle.
• 49:05
  SPEAKER_03: We we own Nestle, and they will poison you as well.
• 49:12
  SPEAKER_03: Uh so yeah, that's what's where I'm voting.
• 49:15
  SPEAKER_03: So uh, well, there you have it, folks.
• 49:17
  SPEAKER_03: All three people voted um immediately for Nemesis.
• 49:20

  SPEAKER_03: Damn, this is the power of friendship.
• 49:30
  SPEAKER_04: Yeah, sure, sure, Mirabelle has family, but you don't choose your family, you choose your friends.
• 49:38
  SPEAKER_03: Especially if they're corporately bought and engineered.
• 49:43
  SPEAKER_03: I don't know what lesson the kids listening to this should take, but uh there you go.
• 49:50
