038 Ramble On · bit of a Rambler

Speaker 1: Hello. My name is Kai, and I am a bit
0:03
Speaker 1: of a rambler. I like to travel, learn and tell stories,
0:07
Speaker 1: and today we're going to ramble on. This week had
0:11
Speaker 1: a lot going on, a lot of the same stuff
0:13
Speaker 1: I've been doing last week because I started playing Subnautica
0:19
Speaker 1: and that's taken over the past six days or whatever.
0:24
Speaker 1: But I'll start from the beginning of the list so
0:26
Speaker 1: I can kind of go chronologically. Like I was explaining,
0:30
Speaker 1: I finally understand Star Trek, and it took them creating
0:35
Speaker 1: a specifically comedic show lower decks to get into it.
0:40
Speaker 1: And I didn't even laugh because I kept thinking, like, no,
0:44
Speaker 1: this is just that dorky humor, Like this is dorky
0:48
Speaker 1: humor and there are high stakes and it's all kind
0:51
Speaker 1: of silly. And then I had a laugh out loud moment,
0:56
Speaker 1: maybe at the end of the second season, or maybe
0:58
Speaker 1: at the end of the first there's something somewhere in
1:03
Speaker 1: the second season where I laughed out loud and I
1:06
Speaker 1: was like, oh good, and then I was able to
1:09
Speaker 1: pay more attention to what was going on. It was
1:11
Speaker 1: enjoyable because it was a comedy, was animated. I liked
1:14
Speaker 1: a lot of the stuff going on. They were developing
1:17
Speaker 1: the characters really well. The voice actors were really good,
1:20
Speaker 1: like very fun to watch, And then I realized, I
1:24
Speaker 1: think that people like Star Wars and sorry Star Trek,
1:29
Speaker 1: and the Star Trek fan base is so specific it
1:32
Speaker 1: seems like and I feel like it's because no matter
1:35
Speaker 1: what's going on in the episode, it doesn't matter. The
1:38
Speaker 1: whole point is that Star Trek is set in a
1:41
Speaker 1: post scarcity universe, and while most civilizations are still fighting
1:49
Speaker 1: or capitalizing, humans realized they had everything they need, so
1:56
Speaker 1: they gave the necessities to everyone and all they have
1:58
Speaker 1: left to do was learn things and explore. So no
2:03
Speaker 1: matter what's going on in the episode, the backdrop is
2:07
Speaker 1: civilization is good. Everybody is taken care of, and we
2:10
Speaker 1: can just keep doing better. And that helped Star Trek
2:15
Speaker 1: click for me, because it didn't matter that the jokes
2:19
Speaker 1: were silly or the aliens were humans with makeup on,
2:24
Speaker 1: because for those forty five minutes when I eventually started
2:27
Speaker 1: watching The Next Generation, you're also experiencing this world where
2:34
Speaker 1: the highest values are to take care of your society,
2:39
Speaker 1: which in most of our lives are the hypothetical ideals.
2:44
Speaker 1: But I haven't been to any countries that actually do that.
2:48
Speaker 1: I've heard that some of the Nordic countries do, but
2:52
Speaker 1: I know there's lots of crimes and atrocities happening in
2:56
Speaker 1: those countries too, so nothing's quite per and I don't
3:01
Speaker 1: think Star Trek is either, But I think that's I
3:05
Speaker 1: just think that's really interesting, that that sense of living
3:10
Speaker 1: in a post utopian world, post scarcity world, where the
3:15
Speaker 1: backdrop of everything is at least we're taking care of everyone.
3:21
Speaker 1: That's a great backdrop to live in for forty five
3:24
Speaker 1: minutes while the episode goes on. So I'm excited because
3:28
Speaker 1: I finished all five seasons of Lower Decks. After I
3:30
Speaker 1: started laughing at the end of season one or beginning
3:33
Speaker 1: of two, whatever it was, I was pretty hooked. And
3:36
Speaker 1: like I said, the voice actors weren't great, like they
3:39
Speaker 1: make me laugh just thinking about them. So I binged three,
3:43
Speaker 1: four and five seasons three, four and five and just
3:45
Speaker 1: went I mean one and two also, I binge that
3:48
Speaker 1: whole series. It was a great series, and I was
3:50
Speaker 1: sad to see it go because it's the only deliberately
3:53
Speaker 1: comedic Star Trek show, and you know, a lot of
3:58
Speaker 1: the other ones are much older. Animation is perfect for
4:02
Speaker 1: Star Trek because you're conveying very abstract, complicated, theoretical concepts
4:10
Speaker 1: and things half the time. And that's what animation is
4:13
Speaker 1: perfect with. It's so good at conveying emotions that you
4:16
Speaker 1: couldn't convey on screen with live actors or symbolic meaning
4:23
Speaker 1: or you know space. If you want to build a
4:28
Speaker 1: whale the size of two earths, that's pretty easy to
4:30
Speaker 1: do an animation. You can even show the entire process
4:35
Speaker 1: of the whale becoming that large, instead of a live
4:37
Speaker 1: action thing where you have to cut away and go back,
4:40
Speaker 1: or you have to watch the budget for your AI
4:44
Speaker 1: enlargement of a whale or whatever. An animation, sky's the limit.
4:49
Speaker 1: So I really liked Lower Decks, and I liked it
4:52
Speaker 1: so much that I was able to jump right into
4:54
Speaker 1: the next generation. I don't think I can handle the
4:57
Speaker 1: original series yet. I still have like memories of some
5:01
Speaker 1: pretty hokey stuff, but I feel like if I if
5:04
Speaker 1: I'm able to get through the next generation, I'll be
5:07
Speaker 1: more invested in the whole world. Like I learned about
5:12
Speaker 1: the Picard maneuver and it was interesting. I watched the
5:16
Speaker 1: first season of Lower Decks and then I tried to
5:19
Speaker 1: watch the Next Generation. After a few episodes of Lower Decks,
5:22
Speaker 1: I was like, oh, I get okay, it's pretty fun,
5:24
Speaker 1: Like I kind of I'll watch the rest of this
5:27
Speaker 1: Lower Decks show for sure. Maybe I can already watch
5:29
Speaker 1: the Next Generation. And boy, I started the Next Generation
5:33
Speaker 1: and couldn't get past like the fifth minute. The Q
5:38
Speaker 1: is the first villain, I guess in the first episode,
5:42
Speaker 1: and it was so absurd that I had. I couldn't
5:49
Speaker 1: handle it. It just wasn't enjoyable at all for me.
5:52
Speaker 1: I was rolling my eyes and just snoring. But at
5:56
Speaker 1: the end of Lower Decks and after I had my
5:59
Speaker 1: epiphany about the whole point of Star Trek is to
6:02
Speaker 1: live in this world where everybody cares about everybody else,
6:05
Speaker 1: and after you take care of everyone, all you want
6:08
Speaker 1: to do is learn and explore and do better. When
6:12
Speaker 1: I went back to Star Trek with the backdrop of
6:15
Speaker 1: we are all learning and we're trying to do better
6:18
Speaker 1: every day, yeah it was. I was able to watch
6:22
Speaker 1: the first episode. And then I was also drinking. I
6:27
Speaker 1: did get some beers. I was like, maybe I knock
6:30
Speaker 1: a few of these brain cells out, I can enjoy
6:32
Speaker 1: this more. And I did. I watched most of the
6:34
Speaker 1: first season of the Next Generation. Actually, yeah, I think
6:37
Speaker 1: only have a few episodes left of the Next Generation,
6:40
Speaker 1: so maybe I'll have a little party night and finish
6:43
Speaker 1: that up this weekend. Wow, six minutes about Star Trek.
6:47
Speaker 1: Look at that I did it. I finally became a
6:52
Speaker 1: Star Trek NERD took me many tries, and it took
6:57
Speaker 1: me waiting for them to make an animal made it
7:00
Speaker 1: show so that I had some kind of gateway. They
7:04
Speaker 1: also had a lot of parody in Lower Decks. All
7:08
Speaker 1: of the titles were parody names, and one of them
7:12
Speaker 1: was called Parth Ferengi's Heart Place, which is a pretty
7:17
Speaker 1: obscure reference to a TV show called Garth Marange's Dark Place,
7:22
Speaker 1: which is an obscure parody show of like Stephen King's
7:28
Speaker 1: Anthology horror series. It was just the sixth part British
7:34
Speaker 1: comedy that's very funny, sort of mockumentary ish hilarious show,
7:42
Speaker 1: Ferengi's Dark Place, starring Goth Marangi and Richard Iowad is
7:49
Speaker 1: actually in it, but it's very funny. But I've never
7:53
Speaker 1: heard or seen any reference to that show except in
7:58
Speaker 1: this Lower Decks, which is a pretty big show. They
8:01
Speaker 1: actually parried the title of Gartha Marange's Dark Place as
8:05
Speaker 1: Parth Fehrangi's Heart Place, So I thought that was really cool.
8:08
Speaker 1: And as soon as I saw that that was in
8:11
Speaker 1: the second season, I think I just immediately realized that
8:15
Speaker 1: I should be giving way more the benefit of the
8:17
Speaker 1: doubt to these writers, and if they're referencing Gartha Marangy's
8:21
Speaker 1: Dark Place, then I should be paying more attention to
8:24
Speaker 1: the show. And I did. It was great. Oh you
8:28
Speaker 1: know what, I have a crazy update from India. So
8:32
Speaker 1: I met a girl from Mumbai who tells me that
8:35
Speaker 1: Indians do eat curry. Now, if you haven't listened to
8:39
Speaker 1: any of my other episodes, oh, actually, I guess the
8:41
Speaker 1: Indian episode isn't out yet, but I might have made
8:45
Speaker 1: a reference to this. I lived in Bubbaneshar for three
8:49
Speaker 1: months or something, and India has the highest number of
8:53
Speaker 1: fluent English speakers of any country I've been to outside
8:56
Speaker 1: of like you know, the United States or England or Ireland,
9:00
Speaker 1: a native mother tongue English country. So I talked to
9:03
Speaker 1: a lot of Indians in fluent English, and over three months,
9:08
Speaker 1: I probably asked twenty different fluent English speakers this question
9:13
Speaker 1: because I was so confused when I went to the supermarkets,
9:17
Speaker 1: is there curry that I can buy? And every single
9:22
Speaker 1: one in Buboneshar, every single one said, oh, no, we
9:25
Speaker 1: don't really like curry. That's kind of like a British
9:28
Speaker 1: colonial thing. It just takes all the flavors and mixes
9:31
Speaker 1: them together, but there's not like one brown Indian curry.
9:37
Speaker 1: We have this dish and this dish and this dish,
9:40
Speaker 1: but we don't just have curry. And these were fluent
9:43
Speaker 1: English speakers. They knew exactly what I was saying. They
9:45
Speaker 1: were talking back to me, and they explained it in
9:48
Speaker 1: many different ways because I asked so many people because
9:50
Speaker 1: I couldn't believe that Indians didnityed curry when the first
9:54
Speaker 1: guy told me that, because I asked him if there
9:56
Speaker 1: was curry in the supermarkets and he was like, oh,
9:59
Speaker 1: you can probably find it somewhere at the big ones
10:02
Speaker 1: but it's just not a very popular food in India,
10:05
Speaker 1: And I was like, excuse me what? And then every
10:08
Speaker 1: single Indian person I asked after that confirmed that first
10:12
Speaker 1: guy's assessment that Indians don't really eat curry. So that's
10:19
Speaker 1: been rattling around in my brain for half a year
10:21
Speaker 1: now because I was like that, that's like if I
10:24
Speaker 1: went to England and everyone was like, oh, no, we
10:26
Speaker 1: don't like fish and chips, which I know English people
10:29
Speaker 1: they like fish and chips, but nobody in Bubeneshar likes curry.
10:34
Speaker 1: They like thick soup like dishes and stuff you could
10:37
Speaker 1: call curry. But curry, as Americans understand it or as
10:43
Speaker 1: foreigners understand it, is not an Indian dish, according to
10:47
Speaker 1: every Indian I talked to in Bubaneshar. So anyway, I've
10:51
Speaker 1: been living with that reality that Indians don't eat curry.
10:55
Speaker 1: And I went to all the restaurants in Buboneshar and
10:58
Speaker 1: the only ones that sold carry were the super silly
11:03
Speaker 1: like touristy places they like, weren't local places. All of
11:08
Speaker 1: the local shops nobody served curry. You could get like
11:13
Speaker 1: a dish that you might call curry if you were
11:15
Speaker 1: unfamiliar with the dish, but it's a specific dish, it's
11:19
Speaker 1: not generic curry. Sorry, it's been like seven months, so
11:23
Speaker 1: I can't remember the name of the breakfast dish, but
11:26
Speaker 1: that curry, whatever that was, was like the best what I imagined
11:31
Speaker 1: curry would be in India. It was the best breakfast.
11:34
Speaker 1: You eat it with this fluffy bread that's like a
11:38
Speaker 1: savory donut, and you just have a bowl of what
11:42
Speaker 1: I think is curry. And they were like, no, no, no, no,
11:44
Speaker 1: this isn't curry. You eat like they'll They told me,
11:47
Speaker 1: they bring out curry on like Christmas or special holidays,
11:52
Speaker 1: depavoli or whatever, and it would be there like a
11:56
Speaker 1: dish like cranberry saucet Christmas for Americans, dipavoli. Maybe they'll
12:01
Speaker 1: have curry, but nobody wants it because it's such a
12:04
Speaker 1: generic flavor. It's like a mixed barrel of scotch, or
12:08
Speaker 1: a mixed versus single barrel scotch. Wait, what's it called
12:13
Speaker 1: when you have blended, it's like blended versus single malt
12:17
Speaker 1: whiskey or scotch. Like each dish is a great flavor.
12:23
Speaker 1: But if you just mix everything together and call it curry,
12:26
Speaker 1: which is what the British colonials did, that flavor, according
12:31
Speaker 1: to all of these Indians, is not appealing, so they
12:33
Speaker 1: just don't eat it much. They stick to their original
12:36
Speaker 1: traditional dishes. So back to the girl from Mumbai. I
12:40
Speaker 1: met her and she told me Indians do eat curry
12:44
Speaker 1: and she was. She looked pretty shocked when I told
12:47
Speaker 1: her about all the people from Bubboneshar who told me
12:50
Speaker 1: the opposite. And I asked her if she ate curry
12:54
Speaker 1: recently and she was like, oh no, I don't really
12:56
Speaker 1: like it. And I asked her if she could buy
12:58
Speaker 1: it in supermarkets and she says, it's not really, it's
13:00
Speaker 1: not very popular, like you can't just buy it off
13:03
Speaker 1: the shelf in supermarkets. And I was like, do people
13:06
Speaker 1: make it like at home in Mumbai, then maybe it's
13:08
Speaker 1: just a regional thing. They don't in Bubeneshar, but they
13:11
Speaker 1: do like to make it at home in Mumbai. She
13:15
Speaker 1: was like, oh no, nobody would ever make it. So
13:17
Speaker 1: to me it was sounding like, yeah, curry not a
13:21
Speaker 1: popular dish, but she told me, but you can get
13:24
Speaker 1: it in restaurants. So I don't know the bubonesh Are people.
13:29
Speaker 1: And I was there for three months. I talked to
13:30
Speaker 1: so many people over so many times, and everyone told
13:33
Speaker 1: me the exact same thing. I'm still siding with them
13:36
Speaker 1: since the Mumby girl basically confirmed that none of the
13:40
Speaker 1: locals eat it and the only place you can get
13:43
Speaker 1: it is in like a restaurant where you would be
13:46
Speaker 1: expected to find touristy dishes that are more palatable to everyone,
13:51
Speaker 1: but locals, according to her now also don't really eat curry.
13:56
Speaker 1: I wish I had asked the girl on the plane
13:58
Speaker 1: I talked to for like three hours, but she was
14:01
Speaker 1: from Mumbai also, so one person's a representative sample anyway, right. Anyway,
14:07
Speaker 1: that's the curry update. And India has like fifty states.
14:11
Speaker 1: They have a lot of states. I don't know how
14:12
Speaker 1: many exactly, but you know, it's really easy to look
14:15
Speaker 1: up twenty eight. India has twenty eight states, and I'm
14:20
Speaker 1: that's going to be my number one question anytime I
14:22
Speaker 1: meet anyone from India, because I am curious if it's regional.
14:27
Speaker 1: And in my head growing up, it was like, curry
14:29
Speaker 1: is from India. And then I went to Indian and
14:31
Speaker 1: they're like, naw, that's just like British colonial mixed crap.
14:35
Speaker 1: This is real Indian stew or soup or I don't
14:40
Speaker 1: know what they called it. They just called everything by
14:42
Speaker 1: its specific name. And my I couldn't remember anything, like
14:48
Speaker 1: my Hindi was so bad, and they weren't even speaking
14:50
Speaker 1: Hindi and Bubonesha. They spoke something else there are a
14:53
Speaker 1: lot of languages there, and I learned none of them.
14:57
Speaker 1: I studied Hindi and I sucked at it and I
15:00
Speaker 1: didn't get anywhere, and nobody spoke it anyway. Oh you
15:04
Speaker 1: know what made me laugh out loud in Star Trek
15:09
Speaker 1: when the character Peanut Hamper is introduced. That name is
15:14
Speaker 1: like the funniest name I could imagine coming up with.
15:20
Speaker 1: So Lower Deck is worth watching just so you can
15:23
Speaker 1: see them talk. Like Peanut Hamper shows up and then
15:27
Speaker 1: every time they talk to her, they have to say
15:30
Speaker 1: the name Peanut Hamper, and it's really funny. I'm still
15:36
Speaker 1: laughing about it all right. Moving down the list, I
15:39
Speaker 1: found a dollar on the ground in the hallway and
15:42
Speaker 1: that's two beers here, And it was weird because it
15:45
Speaker 1: looked like this crumpled a piece of trash in the hallway,
15:48
Speaker 1: and my ass kept looking at it though, and then
15:51
Speaker 1: I would look away. And I passed by someone in
15:55
Speaker 1: the hall and they also looked down at it and
15:57
Speaker 1: then looked away. And I went into my room and
16:00
Speaker 1: like an hour later I came back out and that
16:03
Speaker 1: crumpled piece of paper was still there, and I was like, man,
16:06
Speaker 1: just clean it up, Like yeah, it's not yours, but
16:09
Speaker 1: just clean it and go throw it away. And I
16:13
Speaker 1: picked up this piece of paper and it was very
16:16
Speaker 1: obviously a bright green US dollar bill, which is the
16:19
Speaker 1: currency here in Panama, and I was like, oh okay,
16:24
Speaker 1: and I put it in my pocket. But I could
16:27
Speaker 1: hear people walking in the hallway, so that everybody walked
16:31
Speaker 1: past it, and I walked past it like three different
16:34
Speaker 1: times without realizing there was just a dollar on the
16:37
Speaker 1: hallway floor. And then I finally paid attention and I
16:40
Speaker 1: got two free beers. My awareness, my situational awareness paying off.
16:48
Speaker 1: I started going to a lot more of the city
16:50
Speaker 1: parks around me because I didn't realize how many there were,
16:54
Speaker 1: and I realized that they have those public exercise parks
16:57
Speaker 1: that I love. And what's really cool about the public
17:00
Speaker 1: exercise parks here, specifically in Panama, a lot of them
17:04
Speaker 1: have weight lifting apparatus as well, So there are weights
17:09
Speaker 1: attached to a metal handle on a hinge, and you
17:13
Speaker 1: can adjust the weight by putting the metal closer to
17:16
Speaker 1: you or closer to the back of the machine so
17:18
Speaker 1: it's heavier or lighter, and you can do a lot
17:22
Speaker 1: of different weightlifting exercises just with public exercise parks, so
17:26
Speaker 1: I've been doing that. That's been pretty cool. I love
17:30
Speaker 1: exercise parks anyway, and I was excited they had them here.
17:33
Speaker 1: But they're even more comprehensive than I thought they were.
17:38
Speaker 1: Oh sorry, And then there's like three Star Trek things
17:41
Speaker 1: after that. I was a big fan of the Sexy
17:44
Speaker 1: Planet episode where nobody does anything they're uncomfortable with. They
17:48
Speaker 1: run around everywhere because it's healthy, and they have sex
17:51
Speaker 1: at the drop of a hat. Oh, and you know what,
17:54
Speaker 1: there's an episode where Jean lu Picard dies and then
17:58
Speaker 1: has opened up like a text file and comes back,
18:02
Speaker 1: and then nobody ever mentions that. Again, this is a
18:05
Speaker 1: big debate apparently whether when Star Trek teleports people do
18:11
Speaker 1: they die or is that the same person? I think
18:17
Speaker 1: you die if you teleport, your atoms are taken apart,
18:20
Speaker 1: you have zero consciousness, there's nothing happening anymore. And then
18:25
Speaker 1: they build anew you. And that was kind of confirmed
18:29
Speaker 1: for me in this episode. Oh spoilers, I guess there's
18:35
Speaker 1: not really it's not really a spoiler, but it always
18:38
Speaker 1: made sense to me that if you teleport somewhere, then
18:41
Speaker 1: you die, because if you get teleported somewhere from A
18:44
Speaker 1: to B and you go it through A and you
18:46
Speaker 1: get taken apart, and then B breaks and you don't
18:50
Speaker 1: go you were taken apart. Like the exact same way
18:54
Speaker 1: is if Hyena's ripped off your limbs in your head
18:56
Speaker 1: and you were deconstituted, you're dead. Your consciousness has ceased
19:01
Speaker 1: to exist, whether you were eaten by hyenas or zapped
19:06
Speaker 1: apart by laser teleportation technology, you died. And then in
19:10
Speaker 1: this episode he dies straight up is dead. But they
19:16
Speaker 1: basically have a save file and they reboot the save
19:21
Speaker 1: file and they talk about it. They're like, yeah, luckily
19:24
Speaker 1: we had this recent copy of you, so good thing,
19:28
Speaker 1: and then he's not dead anymore. So I feel like
19:32
Speaker 1: that kind of settles the debate people who think teleportation
19:36
Speaker 1: people aren't dead. Man. I was really surprised when I
19:41
Speaker 1: found out there were only five scenes in the lower decks,
19:43
Speaker 1: Like it seems like it was a slam dunk show
19:47
Speaker 1: with a pretty dedicated fan base. But I think that
19:50
Speaker 1: was right around the same time all the shows got axed,
19:55
Speaker 1: like HBO Max canceled all their animation in like one year.
19:59
Speaker 1: Maybe that's what happened. Oh, I've been hanging out with
20:02
Speaker 1: a bunch of mapachs lately, those crab eating raccoons that
20:06
Speaker 1: you can feed with your hands, super tame raccoons living
20:09
Speaker 1: along the Pacific coast. Here did I already talk about
20:12
Speaker 1: going to the Panama Canal? Anyway, that friend who went
20:15
Speaker 1: on the bone fell asleep. She went with me to
20:18
Speaker 1: see the mapachs, and we fed them a bunch of food,
20:22
Speaker 1: and there were a lot. Usually like maybe up to
20:26
Speaker 1: ten will come running after you're giving out food for
20:29
Speaker 1: a little while, but we got like two dozen of
20:33
Speaker 1: them this time, just a horde of them. The dollar
20:35
Speaker 1: store had three for one snacks and I was like,
20:38
Speaker 1: we should just buy a few of these, and I
20:40
Speaker 1: only bought three bags. But that was exciting for the raccoons,
20:44
Speaker 1: who sworn but never scratched or anything at any of
20:48
Speaker 1: the humans. They hissed at each other when like one
20:51
Speaker 1: tried to take a cheetoh from another one, but I
20:53
Speaker 1: just was giving away the cheetos as fast as I could,
20:57
Speaker 1: oh man, and one of them jumped to the ground.
21:00
Speaker 1: Everyone else stayed on the wall that is, like this
21:04
Speaker 1: big wall separating the park from the Pacific Ocean and
21:09
Speaker 1: the one that jumped to the ground though, walked up
21:12
Speaker 1: to me and tugged on my shorts with his little
21:16
Speaker 1: raccoon hands, and of course I gave him them. And
21:20
Speaker 1: they don't bite the stuff out of your hands. They
21:24
Speaker 1: gently take it out of your hands with their hands
21:27
Speaker 1: and then eat it with their hands like tiny raccoon people.
21:32
Speaker 1: It's awesome. So I got a pretty big crowd of mapaches.
21:36
Speaker 1: It was pretty exciting, got some good videos. Hey, did
21:42
Speaker 1: you know that the National Institute of Health has a
21:44
Speaker 1: study about homophobia being scientifically connected to homosexual arousal? Like
21:54
Speaker 1: it's an old study too, in nineteen ninety six. These
21:57
Speaker 1: scientists were like, it's really weird that all of these
22:01
Speaker 1: homophobic people turn out to be gay. Maybe it's a
22:05
Speaker 1: defense mechanism or something like that. Maybe it's a mechanism
22:08
Speaker 1: of some sort. And so they did a study with
22:11
Speaker 1: three dozen homophobic men, and they attached measurement units to
22:17
Speaker 1: their units, and the same for a control group of
22:22
Speaker 1: non homophobic people. Now, both groups, the non homophobic people
22:27
Speaker 1: and the homophobic people, were pretty into the heterosexual sex
22:31
Speaker 1: and the lesbian sex as measured by their physical response,
22:37
Speaker 1: but only the homophobic group of men responded positively physically
22:44
Speaker 1: to homosexual sex, whereas the control group did not respond
22:51
Speaker 1: physically to the homosexual sex. So there's a study, just
22:56
Speaker 1: so you know, from nineteen ninety six that has at
23:00
Speaker 1: least a correlative link between homophobia and an interested association
23:08
Speaker 1: in homosexual sex. Thought that was fascinating. Didn't know they
23:12
Speaker 1: made a didn't know they did a study on that.
23:15
Speaker 1: They did. It's there's a correlation. So that's pretty great
23:20
Speaker 1: to know. Whenever somebody says anything sexist or gross or homophobic,
23:26
Speaker 1: you can just be like, I know something about you, buddy.
23:30
Speaker 1: One of the stores has had a sale on these
23:34
Speaker 1: gin and tonics that I like to mix with juices,
23:37
Speaker 1: like little cans of Schwepz gin and tonic, and so
23:40
Speaker 1: it's been two for one and there were five left,
23:43
Speaker 1: and I asked her do you have any in the back,
23:46
Speaker 1: like is there one more? So I can buy all
23:49
Speaker 1: six with the discount And she said, nah, you can
23:52
Speaker 1: just buy four for the price of two and then
23:54
Speaker 1: get the fifth one for the full price. It's like
23:58
Speaker 1: you're buying three. The thing is the gin and tonics.
24:01
Speaker 1: They have a vodka citrus one and a Gin and
24:04
Speaker 1: Tonic one. The vodka citrus. I'd pay the full buck
24:06
Speaker 1: for the gin and tonic ones aren't that good and
24:09
Speaker 1: I have to mix them myself when I take them home,
24:11
Speaker 1: But fifty cents and this store is literally across the
24:15
Speaker 1: street from my apartment. But I didn't want to pay
24:18
Speaker 1: a whole dollar a whole dollar for the gin and tonics.
24:22
Speaker 1: I was like, Okay, I'll just get four then, and
24:25
Speaker 1: she made the shittiest face like she was so pissed
24:32
Speaker 1: off that I wouldn't just buy the last one at
24:34
Speaker 1: full price when I was already buying all the other
24:36
Speaker 1: ones at a discount. I did go by and pay
24:39
Speaker 1: full price for a bunch of the Vodkan Citrus ones
24:41
Speaker 1: a few days later because I needed to finish. Oh
24:44
Speaker 1: a super funny show is that on this list? It
24:48
Speaker 1: wasn't Detroiter's. I got to talk about Detroiters. Tim Robinson
24:53
Speaker 1: from I Think You Should Leave and Sam Richardson made
24:57
Speaker 1: a show together called Detroiters. These two ad man living
25:01
Speaker 1: in Detroit. Funny that, and I laughed out loud in
25:06
Speaker 1: the first episode. I actually rewound and rewatched this one
25:12
Speaker 1: line that Sam Richardson says, maybe ten times I used
25:17
Speaker 1: to do that when I was like a kid, if
25:18
Speaker 1: there was one really funny line, I'd rewind it and
25:21
Speaker 1: watch it again because the delivery and obviously the writing
25:25
Speaker 1: and it was all just like perfect and it just
25:27
Speaker 1: hit me right in the funny bone. And that happened
25:30
Speaker 1: in this first episode of Detroit Ters. So I highly
25:35
Speaker 1: recommend that show. There were only two seasons twenty seventeen
25:39
Speaker 1: twenty eighteen, and they're both really funny. It's a quality
25:43
Speaker 1: show from top to bottom and creative, original, funny humor.
25:51
Speaker 1: I laughed out loud on every episode and sometimes multiple
25:56
Speaker 1: times in the episode. There was no single episode where
26:01
Speaker 1: I was like, Uh, this one's kind of a dud.
26:05
Speaker 1: All twenty episodes I think it's ten per season are gold.
26:09
Speaker 1: It's so funny. It made me look for literally every
26:13
Speaker 1: other thing that Tim Robinson has been in. Highly highly
26:17
Speaker 1: recommend Detroitter's. And that's another show that I watched so
26:21
Speaker 1: fast and so often under the influence that I'm really
26:25
Speaker 1: excited in a few months off forget everything and I'll
26:27
Speaker 1: get to watch it all again, almost like new. Yeah. Man,
26:31
Speaker 1: that show is so funny. I booked another a third
26:35
Speaker 1: month in Panama because Panama rocks and I'm getting a
26:38
Speaker 1: bunch of these podcasts down, I'm getting a bunch of
26:41
Speaker 1: work done, designing some cool T shirts, playing Way two,
26:45
Speaker 1: many video games, and there's so many new things to try.
26:50
Speaker 1: Like I was walking home and two minutes from where
26:55
Speaker 1: I live there's this bar and I see it every day,
26:58
Speaker 1: and I never noticed before were on Wednesdays because I
27:01
Speaker 1: walked by it to get home every day, like literally
27:05
Speaker 1: every day. And they have two for one wings on Wednesdays.
27:10
Speaker 1: So I was just like ah, and I got them
27:13
Speaker 1: and they were fantastic, And if they have that next Wednesday,
27:16
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go back again. It's like fifty cent wings
27:21
Speaker 1: at a big ass, fancy steakhouse. Oh. I was listening
27:25
Speaker 1: to the Decoder Ring podcast and they told me that
27:27
Speaker 1: they had a linguist, jeez, a language history person. Oh
27:33
Speaker 1: that is a linguist. Jeez. They had a linguist onto
27:36
Speaker 1: explain the ass intensifier big ass, wet ass man. Campbell's
27:44
Speaker 1: soup is just wet ass food. That's from detroiters. Campbell
27:48
Speaker 1: soup is just wet ass food. Anyway, ass has become
27:52
Speaker 1: an intensifier like very and they went into the whole
27:56
Speaker 1: history of it. And talked about how they have those
27:59
Speaker 1: words and other language. It was a really interesting episode.
28:02
Speaker 1: Uh Decoder Ring if you want another podcast, but you
28:05
Speaker 1: should listen to five to four and know your enemy
28:08
Speaker 1: and bit of a rambler. Oh wait you are? Oh
28:11
Speaker 1: So I watched all of the Mission Impossibles because I
28:14
Speaker 1: saw the eighth one in the theater. So I just decided
28:17
Speaker 1: to watch one through six again because I only watched
28:22
Speaker 1: all of those once and seven but I watched that
28:25
Speaker 1: last year or whenever it came out. Mission Impossible Too
28:29
Speaker 1: used to be my favorite. I watched that one like
28:31
Speaker 1: twenty times when I was a kid. Maybe probably probably
28:34
Speaker 1: more actually, but Tandy Newton was definitely a big part
28:39
Speaker 1: of that rewatchability. It's as hyperbolic as I remember it.
28:44
Speaker 1: The other thing that made me watch it over and
28:46
Speaker 1: over was when Tom Cruise is climbing the mountain and
28:50
Speaker 1: I watched the background mini documentary they had on the DBD,
28:54
Speaker 1: and he was actually climbing that mountain. He was only
28:57
Speaker 1: attached by one safety wire that they did removed. But
29:02
Speaker 1: in the movie, when Tom Cruise is climbing that mountain
29:05
Speaker 1: and he jumps, that's Tom Cruise, Like it's crazy. Mission
29:10
Speaker 1: Impossible one was actually a lot better than I remember
29:13
Speaker 1: it being. Mission Impossible one was a lot of fun,
29:17
Speaker 1: I think because it was like old timey spy more like.
29:20
Speaker 1: And I only watched it once, like with my parents
29:24
Speaker 1: when I was ten, and I was pretty bored because
29:27
Speaker 1: there were no flashing lights. But it was great watching
29:31
Speaker 1: it again now and watching them all again. It was
29:33
Speaker 1: fun watching them all, great to see Philip Seymour Hoffman again.
29:36
Speaker 1: Michelle Monaghan pretty bummed that she did whatever she did
29:41
Speaker 1: to her face so that she could come back for
29:43
Speaker 1: six or whatever. She'd look fine, old or whatever, middle aged.
29:50
Speaker 1: You don't need botox, folks. People are people. You all
29:54
Speaker 1: look like people, and pretty people are pretty. Michelle Monahan
30:00
Speaker 1: doesn't need nothing done to her face. She's a pretty
30:03
Speaker 1: lady anyway. Yeah, it was really fun going through all
30:07
Speaker 1: of Mission Impossible again. It's so crazy that that's such
30:13
Speaker 1: a central part of his public life, being in that
30:18
Speaker 1: series and kind of taking creative control over it. I
30:21
Speaker 1: really want to read a book on Tom Cruise making
30:25
Speaker 1: that Mission Impossible series and how it developed into his
30:29
Speaker 1: story In Blank Check. One of the David mentioned that
30:36
Speaker 1: it was obvious Mission Impossible was sort of Tom Cruise's
30:40
Speaker 1: way of saving cinema and the other guy, Griffin always
30:46
Speaker 1: agreed immediately, and I thought that was a very interesting
30:49
Speaker 1: take on the Mission Impossible series. So I want to
30:54
Speaker 1: read a whole book about the production of these movies
30:56
Speaker 1: and find out what the heck was going on made
31:00
Speaker 1: them so cool and like how they came up with
31:04
Speaker 1: the Drive. I wanted to know what the push was
31:07
Speaker 1: between behind all of these movies other than the money,
31:12
Speaker 1: Like what was Tom Cruise trying to do by the
31:15
Speaker 1: end of the series. Oh, so I finally I got
31:19
Speaker 1: my first credit card. I'm using it. It is dumb.
31:22
Speaker 1: It's it feels like driving a gasoline car. It's just
31:28
Speaker 1: antiquated technology that certain systems appreciate and can take advantage of,
31:36
Speaker 1: and so they're making the rest of the world use
31:40
Speaker 1: that like a gasoline car or a credit system. So
31:44
Speaker 1: it's slow, Like I cannot believe how slowly payments and
31:49
Speaker 1: debits and everything is processed compared to QR codes like
31:54
Speaker 1: they use in most countries, where you scan it instantly,
31:58
Speaker 1: transaction history it shows upright there, credit statement. I mean,
32:02
Speaker 1: it can take days for them to finish. It just
32:06
Speaker 1: feels so silly having been in all of these first
32:09
Speaker 1: world modern countries and then getting this legacy payment system
32:13
Speaker 1: from the US. But I figured they use it and
32:18
Speaker 1: if I don't lead that country permanently, I might as
32:21
Speaker 1: well have a super high credit score. Also, why not? Ooh,
32:27
Speaker 1: video game wise, I got a cool purple control or
32:31
Speaker 1: USB controller, and so I've been playing a lot more
32:33
Speaker 1: video games. Zelda Echoes of Wisdom. Hadn't heard about this,
32:38
Speaker 1: hadn't heard a peep about this game. It's so much fun.
32:42
Speaker 1: It's a really good, not very difficult game that starts
32:48
Speaker 1: Zelda instead of Link and the Power. Like. The main
32:52
Speaker 1: mechanism in this one is that she can create echoes
32:54
Speaker 1: of things. So she sees a bed, she can create
32:57
Speaker 1: like two or three beds, and if you stack them
33:00
Speaker 1: on top of each other or make a staircase, you know,
33:02
Speaker 1: you can jump over a wall that she needs to
33:05
Speaker 1: get over or something. And it's open world, so you
33:07
Speaker 1: can do whatever. But that game was a ton of fun,
33:11
Speaker 1: and I am so glad I had the video game
33:14
Speaker 1: controller to play it with. Finally, it just makes things
33:18
Speaker 1: so much more fun, like to play video games if
33:20
Speaker 1: I have the actual controller. I played the Resident Evil
33:23
Speaker 1: games recently and I played two of them without the controller,
33:27
Speaker 1: just on my mouse and keyboard, and it was fine.
33:30
Speaker 1: But I constantly was like, man, I bet this would
33:33
Speaker 1: be better with a video game controller, and it is.
33:37
Speaker 1: It's just so much more fun. Yeah, So if you
33:40
Speaker 1: like Zelda games, cannot recommend Zelda Echoes of Wisdom enough.
33:45
Speaker 1: It was a lot of fun. It had all the
33:47
Speaker 1: standard stuff. It had the same story basically, but it
33:50
Speaker 1: was cool that you were controlling Zelda, and it was
33:53
Speaker 1: cool that combat is a central part of the game,
33:57
Speaker 1: but it's not as central as you know all the
34:00
Speaker 1: link starring games because she doesn't have a sword. If
34:05
Speaker 1: you want to fight an enemy at Zelda, you have
34:07
Speaker 1: to create an echo of an enemy you've met who
34:10
Speaker 1: will fight that person for you. And you still fight
34:13
Speaker 1: bosses and all of that, but you get to use
34:15
Speaker 1: all of the echoes, all of these objects that you
34:18
Speaker 1: have to create a strategy to fight the boss. Super creative,
34:24
Speaker 1: super fun game. I had a great time playing it.
34:27
Speaker 1: Oh I get like cold calls sometimes cold emails, I guess,
34:32
Speaker 1: and like about my podcast. They'll just offer me information
34:36
Speaker 1: about it. You're number one in Guatemala. I actually appreciated
34:40
Speaker 1: that one. But I just got one asking if I
34:42
Speaker 1: wanted podcast guests, which I'm not ready for yet, I
34:45
Speaker 1: don't think. And also that's not really why I'm doing
34:48
Speaker 1: the podcast. I am interested in having guests on here,
34:53
Speaker 1: but I also hate coordinating things, and especially the way
34:58
Speaker 1: I'm doing it now is so whenever I feel like recording,
35:03
Speaker 1: I just don't want to coordinate anything right now. But
35:06
Speaker 1: the email opened with hi, dear, and that's how I
35:09
Speaker 1: know that he's from India, because that's pretty much the
35:12
Speaker 1: only country where everybody says hello dear when they talk
35:15
Speaker 1: to you, like that's the polite way. I guess they.
35:19
Speaker 1: I guess that's the polite way they taught Indians in
35:22
Speaker 1: school to speak English, because even some of the fluent
35:25
Speaker 1: speakers in India would say dear when they were talking
35:30
Speaker 1: to me, even though everything else sounded fluent and perfect.
35:34
Speaker 1: They'd be like, all right, dear, and I'd be like,
35:37
Speaker 1: what are you? Oh right, India. So when it opened
35:40
Speaker 1: with hello, dear, I was like, oh, cool an Indian
35:42
Speaker 1: and I actually said yeah because I was like, why not,
35:45
Speaker 1: Maybe I'll see something. And he sent me a list
35:47
Speaker 1: of four names of people who could be on my podcast.
35:52
Speaker 1: But I just don't want to coordinate right now. When
35:55
Speaker 1: I want to, I'll do it, because apparently they're people
36:00
Speaker 1: that connect you with guests. I'm in that sphere now.
36:06
Speaker 1: I'm liking living in this communal hostile thing too, with
36:09
Speaker 1: my private room but communal kitchen and bathrooms, like you know,
36:16
Speaker 1: I don't love communal bathrooms. But the hot water here
36:20
Speaker 1: is great. They clean it every day. There's it's pretty
36:24
Speaker 1: good as far as communal living quarters go oh, which
36:30
Speaker 1: is really popular in Panama. By the way, I should
36:33
Speaker 1: mention pH refers to a type of building they have
36:38
Speaker 1: here that are apartments, but the kitchen and restrooms are shared,
36:42
Speaker 1: and there's like living rooms that are shared sometimes like
36:44
Speaker 1: communal areas, so everybody has a private apartment, but there
36:48
Speaker 1: are communal services, which makes the building maintenance a lot cheaper,
36:54
Speaker 1: and it makes the rent a lot cheaper. Because I
36:57
Speaker 1: was wondering how the rent was so cheap and Panama, like,
37:00
Speaker 1: it's cheaper than Guatemala, and they have three times higher
37:06
Speaker 1: salary here in Panama. And I'm in the middle of
37:10
Speaker 1: Panama City and my rent is like half what it
37:15
Speaker 1: would be in Guatemala. And I know people in Guatemala
37:18
Speaker 1: who are paying twice what I was paying in Guatemala,
37:21
Speaker 1: living on the outskirts of the city. So the rent
37:24
Speaker 1: is really cheap here. Like I said, two hundred and
37:26
Speaker 1: fifty bucks a month for a private room with daily
37:29
Speaker 1: cleaning service. It's just a pretty good system. But one
37:33
Speaker 1: of the best parts of it is that I meet people.
37:36
Speaker 1: I can't not meet people. And there are bad parts
37:39
Speaker 1: to that, like they're loud, which I don't like, but
37:43
Speaker 1: I don't mind that much. I don't know. I think
37:45
Speaker 1: I've been living alone so long that it isn't bothering
37:50
Speaker 1: as much to hear other people through my walls or
37:54
Speaker 1: walking above me as it used to be. Also, I'm
37:56
Speaker 1: much more relaxed about my work schedule. I was doing
38:00
Speaker 1: a bunch of audiobooks, but now I'm just doing whatever
38:04
Speaker 1: all the time, playing video games. I don't really care
38:07
Speaker 1: if someone's walking on the floor above me if I'm
38:09
Speaker 1: playing Subnautica for forty hours, which I am. So I
38:14
Speaker 1: met some cool people here, and this Chinese business woman
38:19
Speaker 1: moved in and we hit it off right away because
38:22
Speaker 1: I speak Chinese and I just recognized her doing Chinese
38:27
Speaker 1: things in the kitchen, and I was like, eh, Chinese things,
38:31
Speaker 1: and she was like, yes, you know China. And then
38:33
Speaker 1: we became friends and we had we talked a lot
38:38
Speaker 1: because we always like met each other in the afternoon.
38:41
Speaker 1: She was only here six days or something, but we'd
38:44
Speaker 1: see each other when we were cooking dinner and we'd
38:46
Speaker 1: talk for a while. And I love traveling because I
38:51
Speaker 1: have to be constantly reminded that everybody from a different
38:56
Speaker 1: country has a different cultural mindset, and it's so apparent
39:01
Speaker 1: in China how differently they think about like fundamental truths
39:06
Speaker 1: of society. But I haven't been there for a while,
39:08
Speaker 1: so it was interesting to come across this again. You
39:11
Speaker 1: know what, I can't actually tell that story because it
39:13
Speaker 1: kind of spoils my whole popcorn story. So maybe in
39:19
Speaker 1: a couple months I told her my popcorn story, which
39:25
Speaker 1: she saw in a completely different way, but an extremely
39:29
Speaker 1: Chinese way, as in, if you are a good Chinese person,
39:33
Speaker 1: you do this, and you do not do this. And
39:37
Speaker 1: I like to see that because it's really interesting that
39:40
Speaker 1: you can think so rigidly. I think so fluidly, and
39:44
Speaker 1: I'm basically a drift, but Chinese people have fundamental societal
39:49
Speaker 1: truths that they must follow and since I haven't lived there,
39:53
Speaker 1: I kind of forgot about that. And then when I
39:55
Speaker 1: told this Chinese business woman that story, and she just
40:00
Speaker 1: responded in the exact only Chinese way a Chinese person
40:05
Speaker 1: would respond, I was like, oh, right, of course, that's
40:08
Speaker 1: how they think. And it was fun and we hung
40:10
Speaker 1: out until she flew on back to China. She was
40:15
Speaker 1: pretty stressed. She had a bunch of meetings, and I
40:17
Speaker 1: know other salespeople in China. It's a it's not a
40:21
Speaker 1: great job, but there aren't a lot of great jobs
40:25
Speaker 1: in China, and she's very happy that she gets to travel.
40:28
Speaker 1: Oh and she spoke fluent Spanish. Her Spanish was super good.
40:32
Speaker 1: We talked for a few sentences and then she asked
40:36
Speaker 1: me where I was from, because my Spanish is terrible,
40:40
Speaker 1: and we start speaking English again, and her English wasn't great,
40:43
Speaker 1: but between her English and my Mandarin we were we
40:46
Speaker 1: communicated pretty good. You know, I think I like dogs again.
40:51
Speaker 1: For a long time, I was very angry at dogs
40:54
Speaker 1: because I was narrating audio books and dogs are very
40:57
Speaker 1: loud in many of the countries. I was that every country.
41:02
Speaker 1: Actually dogs are just loud things. They bark, so I'd
41:06
Speaker 1: get really angry at dogs barking outside of my window
41:10
Speaker 1: because I wasn't able to narrate, but I was attaching
41:16
Speaker 1: myself too much to narration. So I've kind of pushed
41:19
Speaker 1: that off to the side and decided to do that less.
41:22
Speaker 1: So I'm not I don't care about it as much
41:26
Speaker 1: like it was supposed to be a fun hobby, and
41:27
Speaker 1: then I made it central to my life. And then
41:31
Speaker 1: I got angry at dogs, which something's wrong if you
41:35
Speaker 1: hate dogs, and I did hated them, but I met
41:39
Speaker 1: this girl here who had a dog, and I played
41:42
Speaker 1: with the dog and it was super chill and nice
41:45
Speaker 1: and cuddly, And now I like dogs again, because you know,
41:49
Speaker 1: it was interesting when I stopped. It kind of started
41:53
Speaker 1: in Thailand, actually, when that pack of dogs chased me
41:57
Speaker 1: and tried to eat me, I underst standably liked dog
42:01
Speaker 1: dogs less. But after that point, dogs reacted to me
42:07
Speaker 1: instinctively poorly, more poorly, they were not very excited to
42:12
Speaker 1: see me. My whole life, dogs have loved me, even
42:16
Speaker 1: dogs that don't like people like me usually. And then
42:19
Speaker 1: after they started attacking me in Thailand, so I started
42:22
Speaker 1: carrying around a stick to defend myself. I had that
42:26
Speaker 1: posture and dogs could smell it or whatever, and they
42:30
Speaker 1: didn't like me as much. They all liked me fine,
42:32
Speaker 1: but they weren't crazy about me. And then I started
42:36
Speaker 1: doing narration, and then I hated dogs more and they
42:40
Speaker 1: knew I hated them more. And then I just hung
42:43
Speaker 1: out with this little dog for like ten minutes, and
42:46
Speaker 1: I was like, all right, I like dogs, and all
42:50
Speaker 1: the dogs love me again like they did for the
42:52
Speaker 1: first thirty years of my life. I was sitting on
42:55
Speaker 1: a wall and a guy was walking a dog, and
42:57
Speaker 1: the dog ran over to me and started sniffing me
43:02
Speaker 1: and looking up at me expectantly. I was like, hey there, buddy,
43:06
Speaker 1: and he's like, ah, like really excited. And the owner
43:10
Speaker 1: was like, whoa, this is weird. He doesn't like people
43:14
Speaker 1: like this. He doesn't usually go near anybody, so that's
43:17
Speaker 1: pretty amazing. And I was like, oh, wow, weird. And
43:22
Speaker 1: then there's this lady with these two dogs and we
43:27
Speaker 1: were in the same lobby and as soon as I
43:30
Speaker 1: walked in, the dogs ran over to me and again
43:33
Speaker 1: super excited, very docile, but tongues out, tail wagging, happy,
43:40
Speaker 1: just happy dogs. And she said the exact same thing.
43:43
Speaker 1: I can't believe how happy they are to see you.
43:45
Speaker 1: They're being so nice. They're usually really aggressive towards people
43:49
Speaker 1: that they don't know, but both of them seem to
43:51
Speaker 1: really like you. So yeah, I think I like dogs
43:54
Speaker 1: again because the dogs are acting like they like me again.
43:58
Speaker 1: And dogs can smell everything, so I think they smell
44:02
Speaker 1: that I like them again. Still don't want to pick
44:06
Speaker 1: up dog poop. Really want a dog, but don't want
44:11
Speaker 1: to pick up dog shit. I gotta move to the country,
44:14
Speaker 1: get a really old dog, and then he'll die after
44:17
Speaker 1: a year, and then I'll have my dog fix and
44:20
Speaker 1: a house in the country. He just crap annywhere he
44:24
Speaker 1: wants out there. Or maybe I can live in one of
44:26
Speaker 1: those cities that has precipitation like three hundred days out
44:31
Speaker 1: of the year and I'll just rain wash all the
44:33
Speaker 1: dog crap away. So I'll just make sure to take
44:36
Speaker 1: him down the back roads for walks. That's the trick, right,
44:41
Speaker 1: dog owners, Get at me a bit of a rambler
44:43
Speaker 1: at gmail dot com or all the socials. Oh you
44:47
Speaker 1: know what I want to end this on with. Actually,
44:49
Speaker 1: I came across this game called don't mess with Bober,
44:53
Speaker 1: which is the Russian word I Think for Beaver, and
44:57
Speaker 1: it's this short survival horror about a guy who goes
45:02
Speaker 1: to a cabin, pisses off of beaver, and then deals
45:05
Speaker 1: with the beaver being pissed off at him the rest
45:07
Speaker 1: of the game. It's I got a few jump scares
45:11
Speaker 1: for sure. It was a lot of fun, though it's
45:16
Speaker 1: just one guy who made it, and you should play
45:19
Speaker 1: Don't Mess with Bober because I laughed a lot in
45:23
Speaker 1: the game, and it's not an explicitly comedic game, but
45:28
Speaker 1: it's very funny. It's a horror survival game, but there's
45:33
Speaker 1: lots of fun parts of it. It's fun. It's a
45:35
Speaker 1: really fun game with a beaver that wants to kill you.
45:40
Speaker 1: Check it out if you like video games. If you don't,
45:44
Speaker 1: maybe click one of those other podcasts on the list catalog.
45:48
Speaker 1: Bet there's a word for that. I don't know it.
45:52
Speaker 1: Have a good rest of your day.
