Ever found yourself mistaken for a foreigner because of your haircut? Well, join us as we share our beach vacation blunders and amusement around the local beach attire in Ocean City, New Jersey. But it’s not all pizza and laughter. We dive deep into conspiracy theories swirling around the movie 'Sound of Freedom' and the harsh reality of sex trafficking operations. With talks of climate change and its impact on the future, we also discuss our experiences with the video game Diablo. From hilarious anecdotes to thought-provoking discussions, this episode has it all. So buckle up for a fun, insightful, and hearty conversation.

Speaker 1:

All right. Well, this is another episode of express lane podcast with.

Speaker 2:

Kevin Stan, what's going on? Back from vacation? Took a week off, had the the double Shabazz episode that we put out, so I could, you know, get drunk on the beach for six days in a row. Now I'm back.

Speaker 1:

Absolutely. What beach did you go to Ocean?

Speaker 2:

City, new Jersey. I'm saying we go to every year. I don't always say I'm not the biggest beach person, so it was never like a priority to get over there. But figure, I'd take the where we were renting a house instead of staying at Brits grandparents. So I'm putting money up for a house. I might as well just be there the whole time.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, yeah, nice spot. How much does it cost these days? How many blocks away from the beach?

Speaker 2:

I think we're two blocks from the beach and it was 4200.

Speaker 1:

For a week, huh.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, saturday to Saturday.

Speaker 1:

Did you have people come down or just just you and her?

Speaker 2:

No, no, it was me and her and the house was so like. I mean, there was a whole crew of everybody down there. So in the house we were running was me and Britt, and then her sister and brother-in-law and their kids, and and at her grandparents house was her parents and her siblings and her aunt and cousins were all down there. All right, so that's not so bad. Yeah, no, it was like a whole crew. And yeah, it wasn't the whole 4200, just the two of us.

Speaker 1:

But that's what it's cost nowadays, I think. I mean I've got to imagine. I think it was probably like a thousand bucks like ten years ago, for a nice spot with like four bedrooms.

Speaker 2:

I feel probably more than that. Yeah, it's always been kind of expensive down there.

Speaker 1:

And I was laughing.

Speaker 2:

We're down there's Because you see license plates from further away and not Ocean City. But I know Wildwood, for whatever reason, is like a destination for people from Quebec, like they love Wildwood for whatever the fuck reason it is. But you just see like license plate and car tags from out of state and just all over it I guess like it is a destination for people to come here.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, I mean the Jersey, sure, and the boardwalks huge, I don't know when I go down there. It's just, it's just stores with like cheap junk in it, like dirty locals and Kids running amok.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, dude. So this year it was pretty recent, I like two weeks ago Maybe or three weeks Maybe.

Speaker 1:

I'm from Jersey, just so. With the dirty locals apart.

Speaker 2:

Man, that makes a lot of sense. Yeah right, fucking Jersey dirt I was born?

Speaker 1:

Yeah, I was born in Jersey. Man, that sucks for you. Vineland, ocean City, yep.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, okay, that sucks, makes sense right.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, it's why you're terrible at driving puts it all together. But, like three weeks ago Ocean City had to crack down on they're like shut the beach down at eight o'clock, kick everybody off. No, like not the whole beach in this in the island, just like right where the boardwalk is, because too many teenagers we're going down with backpack full of backpacks full of beer just getting drunk on the beach. Yeah, that could be a problem. So they had to like bring in police, close down the beaches, kick kids off. Now they're not even allowed to have like teenagers can't have backpacks while you're walking the boardwalk. Geez, yeah, they said get the fuck out of here. Like go to Wildwood, you want to be hooligans?

Speaker 1:

Yeah, I mean, wildwood's is like the more hooligan place.

Speaker 2:

But yeah, they were, and tons of cops on bikes like rolling up the boardwalk.

Speaker 1:

Did you get mistaken for, like one of the foreigners, that goes down to the work because they all have your haircut?

Speaker 2:

No, dude, I've spent all week just fucking getting compliments on my hair.

Speaker 1:

They didn't nice.

Speaker 2:

Damn man. It's sick Like ah, it was a bunch of like you know, younger kids, like 1918-19 year old dudes that like have a mullet but like haven't fully committed and like shit dude. That's sick Like I wish I could.

Speaker 1:

I don't be a pussy, just don't cut your hair and like let it go. You don't have to wish, just do it. Yeah, right, exactly.

Speaker 2:

And then a couple of times I had to stop myself, like I was out swimming, like coming back, like onto the beach, and the one time at least the guy goes damn, you got great hair. And I really want to just be like, yeah, I know, but I had. Like, I was like don't be a dick, just.

Speaker 1:

You want to run your hands through it real fast you know, you feel it. No problem.

Speaker 2:

That's all natural. It's not a wife a little jealous to know that I got people out there.

Speaker 1:

They still want some of us. Nope, no perm here. It's all real. It's pretty funny. Good trip, good trip.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, it was a good time.

Speaker 1:

So, like I'm on, I'm on a rabbit hole of so you've got Matt and Shane secret podcast, but then you've got the other guys that do War mode, and then there's the other guys that do Do dad meet, and I think I sent you the one that you should just listen to when they're talking about the 95 Fucking hilarious. But they were talking I think they were talking about going to the beach and it was just like I guess there's a bunch of Indian and Muslims down there, like just everywhere, like taking the beach over and it's just funny like Watching them with like a full swimsuit on and like sitting in the waves and stuff I don't know, like.

Speaker 2:

With what ethnic ethnicity they were, what religion? But that one day there were people and the Dad of the family was just chilling on the beach in jeans.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, that's what they said.

Speaker 2:

They all.

Speaker 1:

Indian dudes are like wearing jeans. Come on why.

Speaker 2:

Why? Why got Jean gets the beach? What are we doing here? And then he was walking down to the water, like through the water, like where you walk and like let it hit your ankles and shit. Yeah, just in jeans I was like, come on, you know you didn't even roll them up.

Speaker 1:

They got the sandals, though. They got that on lockdown. Yeah, that's funny, but I don't know I was I need to do. Shit is fucking working like a loser.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, it sucks for you. I told everybody right when I last Friday, when I was clocking out, I was like anybody need anything. You got about two minutes and then none of you exist for a full week.

Speaker 1:

That's awesome. Oh, let's give this a moment of silence. I edit this shit out. I always forget to give us a break for this fucking AC. I agree that should be enough.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, I mean. So it was a fun week a lot of a lot of nothing and a lot of like doing shit. On top of it, too, I got out and played golf the mini golf.

Speaker 1:

No no regular golf yeah and ball golf. Oh nice.

Speaker 2:

There was disc golf, that's so they have.

Speaker 1:

Oh, how'd you do on your tournament?

Speaker 2:

Oh, not great. I didn't have a good time, like I had a good time. I didn't have a great score, but it was. I mean, it's all bullshit, like it's just to have some have a little bit of fun. Because you get a, you can only use three discs. One has to be red, one has to be white, one has to be blue, and so normally you, I like I have 22 or something like that, that's it like in my bag that all kind of do different things and you got to figure out all that shit with just the three that you have. So really it was just a pregame for like, so I don't start drinking at 10 am.

Speaker 1:

Gotcha, so you lost.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, I mean, I didn't.

Speaker 1:

I wasn't Badly lost.

Speaker 2:

I didn't win the tournament, but I wasn't in last okay, first or second half. I think I was like right down the middle for the division I was in what's that dudes with molds? Division no dude's that haven't been playing disc golf that long.

Speaker 1:

Oh, that's all right rookie. Yeah cool, and so how was the beach Disc golf?

Speaker 2:

spot, so it wasn't on the beach, it was just like out of park off on the mainland. But that was. It was fun, it was pretty new. They didn't have, you know, no Formal teapads or nothing, but it was a still pretty challenging. They had it's a good setup for something that was, you know, only a couple months old.

Speaker 1:

Nice. What was your? What's your go-to down there? Food wise, oh usually well Brits.

Speaker 2:

One cousin that they have Just family that lives down like summer's point off the island works at Manco and Manco. So that's the the pizza spot.

Speaker 1:

Yeah.

Speaker 2:

But there's always, like the, what the one seafood place we end up going to spada for is the whole time, all every week that, uh, we're down there. So there's a couple couple spots, but so far as pizza goes, the, the Manco and Manco Nice.

Speaker 1:

I think that's what everybody likes.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, it's the big name one, formerly Mac and Manco, but then I think Mac was stealing money.

Speaker 1:

Well, they split it up. Yeah, dude, oh shit.

Speaker 2:

They like they split cuz I thought you're saying it wrong. No, no, it was Mac and Manco Mm-hmm. And then I think they had to buy out the Mac family because, whoever it was, mr Mac was just skimming cash off the top of all the numbers. Yeah, of course he was. But then got caught and we're like all right, you're fucking out of you, like we're not going to jail cuz you're ripping the government off.

Speaker 1:

Everybody that deals in cash is ripping somebody off, oh yeah for sure.

Speaker 2:

But he, uh, I think they went down like down a wildwood. Now there's a max pizza.

Speaker 1:

Oh, so you steal his own money.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, exactly he's. You know not ripping anybody else off wonder if anything changed.

Speaker 1:

like just same recipes, like same it's pizza, it's not too hard.

Speaker 2:

That ain't that hard.

Speaker 1:

It's funny In Westchester there's a dude that has a pizza shop called pizza in Westchester. He just does it by himself, does cook, cook, some one at a time. You have to be in the store. You can't leave the store. You fuck up his whole flow. He, he grates the cheese on it afterwards for you, like everything handmade and Cash. Can't call the store, can't nothing. You go in, you order pizza and you wait. Damn real pizza Nazi, it's pretty fucking good I say it's probably good, fucking delicious.

Speaker 1:

It's insane, though. So it's like, oh and it's just does it till he sells out, cool. But I mean, you could definitely bring in a couple people and just start pumping out pizzas that taste delicious too, right isn't?

Speaker 2:

couldn't you do that? But then you lose some of the the charm, I'm sure he wants it done his way, oh no, and I? He's obviously making money hand over fist so he you can charge whatever he wants.

Speaker 1:

That's. I mean, is it cool idea for him?

Speaker 2:

but it's just like I know something pretentious about that, just like I don't know, see my favorite pizza is Like all of all time is talking Ellie's down in Lake Port Richmond. Okay, and that's kind of to say like they got this giant, uh brick pizza oven that's from Italy that they had to import and shit, and it's like wood fired and so they like get it hot in the morning and then they take like all the coals and stuff out of it and it's just the residual heat that it holds in there that cooks the pizzas.

Speaker 2:

Okay but you got a call in the morning and say I want three dough balls Like I want. You have to go call in and reserve your pizzas. So because they only make a certain amount every day, all right. So you got a call and say I you know, get you know Stan Smith, five dough balls and I'll you know be in at six o'clock.

Speaker 1:

I wonder if there's any taste difference, like between them making, because I mean you worked at a pizza shop, you make all the dough and then you get it ready for, and throughout the day You're making more dough, or is it just all frozen or what so, at least for I was a couple places I've worked was it's like a two-day thing, like you would on, say, like a Wednesday Middle of the day lunch, where it's not like, but after lunch rush, before like dinner time, you make up.

Speaker 2:

Uh, probably I don't know how many the mess recipe makes you make a big batch of dough, then you split it into the balls and you put it in these like little round containers that you stack and throw in it Not a freezer but it's free, like a walk-in fridge and then that's the dough for like the next two or three days, like you just start picking them things out.

Speaker 1:

Okay, so how many can you make in one day?

Speaker 2:

you'd say oh, a couple hundred pizzas yeah. All right Balls of dough for pizza.

Speaker 1:

So you planted a day like a day ahead of time, and then you've got 200 pies or whatever. So what's? I just wonder what they're doing so special that's like, oh well, you've got to reserve it, we're only making a certain amount, or they just only want to make a certain amount.

Speaker 2:

I think both like they're making, they're doing what they can with the recipe that makes 300 balls of dough. But they're gonna sell that many the next day.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, and I get that, but I'm wondering is there any taste difference to?

Speaker 2:

Quality ingredients yeah.

Speaker 1:

Well, I understand that part definitely. But like so if two shops have the same ingredients but one makes a shit ton of pizzas and doesn't make you call in and reserve them or make you wait there like Same pizza right.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, but there's the process of how long you're gonna let it like sit and ferment or or bubble up and get big, because then you can make a bigger pizza with a smaller thing of dough if you've really let it ferment.

Speaker 1:

Or does that change the taste, would you say, or no, yeah?

Speaker 2:

okay, it changes the, the profile of the, the crust, flavors and stuff and if you want it to not be as big, then you get like a flatter, thinner crust that doesn't like Puff up and like. Get like a cakey pizza, real thin crust, like that's a lower time. So yeah, it's all about.

Speaker 1:

At least it's like make thing cross.

Speaker 2:

It's like making bread. Yeah, so you got to think. A sourdough bread is like a two-day process of Putting it together, letting it's, you know ferment up, then baking it. Doing the whole thing, we can get Like a loaf of white bread. You throw the dough together, put in a tin and then bake it like it's just immediate.

Speaker 1:

I don't know, man, I just feel like you could definitely be fast-paced with it, not like be so douchey about it and have the same quality of pizza, but which is maybe not because there's I don't have to say I don't, I wouldn't agree there's 12 pizza spots in like an a mile radius and that is the best tasting pizza, so Maybe maybe that's why he's doing something different that works.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, and I mean, think about it like if you're just like, yeah, I'm doing this till I run out, and then you run out, obviously you've made a certain amount of money. Where it makes it worth it, yep, plus rent can't be cheap. It's right on the main strip, that's like barbecue places where it's you know.

Speaker 2:

Yeah come in and you know you have to get here at 11 in the morning if you want brisket, because by 1230 all the brisket is gone and you got to order some other shit because they only make so many per day.

Speaker 1:

That's like my favorite barbecue spot, or was my favorite barbecue spot was mables in westchester, and it's just like All right, well, let's see, are they open today, cash only? And you go in there and it's like well, uh, we, we don't have that, we don't have that, we don't have that. I guess we have chicken like I want, I want a barbecue like fuck, and you know that's how that goes. Uh, but when, when they do have it, it is delicious.

Speaker 2:

Gotta wait for the truck to get there with all the ingredients and shit.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, and that's food talk again.

Speaker 2:

I do this every week too. I think we're a food podcast at this point.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, we might be. So I went to troubles and brewing to see.

Speaker 2:

Uh where is?

Speaker 1:

that right there in college We'll write off the Main strip.

Speaker 2:

I feel like I've asked you this a couple of times. Yeah, I know where you're talking about now. Like where your second street and main street kind of come together exactly like the new.

Speaker 1:

What's that uh? Gas station Royal farms.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, kind of like across from that, in that little section there. It's a pretty nice little setup. The only thing is you got to get it's in One of these places that has a bunch of different uh stores like a tennis and a hair salon. So you walk in there like there's somebody getting their teeth done, somebody getting a hair done, and then you walk up these steps and it's like nice big brewery, kind of cool actually, except for the steps like Now I know why, like they're only open till like 12. It's like dude, you guys should have a slide at them in the night. But, um, yeah, it was. It was pretty cool. Um, a good spot for forcing a band.

Speaker 2:

Um, they've got good food uh, your stuff always pops up on my instagram. I must have followed them Sometime way back and I just forgot about it. And then they started, like, actually posting what the fuck is this shit? Like I, like, I've never.

Speaker 1:

I never remembered a good buffalo chicken egg rolls.

Speaker 2:

Dude, we brit and I went to this uh the only thing is they didn't have a flight. They don't do flights. That's the whole point of breweries.

Speaker 1:

I don't get all. And they have like a paragraph for each beer which is just like walking through the woods and you smell fucking hunting suckle and All right bro, it's fucking beer. Calm down with these dumbass. Like long explanation. I can't even tell the difference between, like I know stout is like guiness, like thick fucking brown or black. I don't want those. I'm working on like pilsner, all this other shit like trying to figure out what shitty light beer I can order that tastes like this. So but the the descriptions do not help whatsoever. All right, so go, and I usually go by percentage. All right, what's gonna do the job, but go ahead.

Speaker 2:

Oh we just we went to this brewery out near us malls mill brewing and it was good and I guess her own fault got a couple of beers and then we were sitting there like I would, why go somewhere? They got food. We'll just get, you know, eat dinner here. You get an appetizer. And then it was expensive and it was like we didn't only drink like Two beers each, like the beer wasn't that expensive, the food was Hella expensive. And then it was eating. It was like, oh, it's good. And I didn't look at the price on anything on the menu. I was just like I'm not broke, I can afford like a fucking chicken sandwich and then you eat it and I was like that was pretty good and then you get the bill. I was like what the fuck did I?

Speaker 1:

order. No, yeah, I mean like when you look at the prices, like I was going to go to this other place where they had a food truck and barbecue and it's like a plate is like $20. Now it's like, well, I mean I get it. Like you figure it's got to be, it's got to be worth it for a food truck to go to a place and sell their food. I like I get it. But damn 20, it's just $20 for a plate, a meal.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, that's what inflation is, and that's barbecue, though that's not like. I'm sure if they had like a fucking dumpling truck, you could have got a meal for $13.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, 1316 is like the new thing 14 bucks for whatever you're going to order.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, but you're ordering something that is Expensive meat to begin with and time consuming with your you know.

Speaker 1:

Not sure.

Speaker 2:

Moking it and doing all the barbecue to it.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, I mean, it's just everything's rising costs of everything, right?

Speaker 2:

Except for our paychecks.

Speaker 1:

That's life. What are you going to do?

Speaker 2:

So I forgot. It was been like four. It's almost a month ago, maybe two months. At this point I was playing disc golf on Sunday. I'm paired up with a just a random dude in our group Talking to him. He's like, oh yeah, I just got out of the Air Force. I'm working as a mechanic down on the main line somewhere and like working on Jaguars and all these foreign cars. Yeah, that's cool. It was like so is your mechanic in the Air Force? Yeah, and then he was telling me about whatever plane. I forget the model of the plane, but it's like one of those refueling ones that has like the big dick come out the back end, that the other fighters and stuff come up to it.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, it puts it in the vagina. One.

Speaker 2:

I guess it is a vagina, and then the plane stick the dick into the male and female.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, yeah, and, but so he worked for now, so he's worked on one of them.

Speaker 2:

So he was like, oh, we'd routinely be in the air for 24 hours on refueling missions, like and I forget again what the model of the plane was. But he said, cuz that plane carries like almost a half a million gallons of fuel, the way that it's pressurized it's. So most planes, like a commercial plane, is like inwardly pressurized. That plane is outwardly pressurized because of the, I guess, the fuel they're carrying all this stuff. So he's like, yeah, if our plane like something happens to it, it's not like we don't even have parachutes on the plane, because if something goes wrong it explodes out and we're just fucked anyway.

Speaker 1:

Damn. Yeah, that's crazy, yeah it was just it was nuts.

Speaker 2:

And then he was saying that back when the whole Rocket man North Korea shit was going on, they had to like they flew from somewhere on the East Coast to like all the way out to Japan with like a squadron of fighter jets that just like refueling the every couple of hours on the way out there because the fighters can't make that trip. So he's just like yeah, we're just flying, like they're coming in. And then he was a mechanic and there's nothing going on. He just gets to like walk around the plane and like see all the different shit and stuff.

Speaker 1:

So that's, crazy.

Speaker 2:

He was like sitting at the back where the guy has a it's almost like a gunner type of thing that he could control where the nozzle that the planes hook up to to refuel from. So he's like sitting back there watching the guy work and shit.

Speaker 1:

He's like the guy that points the horse dick into the cylinder thing I wasn't hands on like those guys.

Speaker 1:

That's funny because, like when I was at the trouble, then like, and she's introduced me to people. First of all, she introduces me to people as like oh, this is my producer. I'm like, that's cool, thank you. But she introduces me to her cousin who's in the Air Force, or was in the Air Force, and he's also a doctor and, like you know he, I'm sitting there talking to him, so it's like, all right, she introduced me and I have my own podcast and he's like he was. Just she was like hey, why don't you go on his blah, blah, blah? And so he's like, oh, what's it about Fuck?

Speaker 1:

Nothing Well that's kind of our thing. We're not really sure on what it is about, but it's just a bunch of dudes hanging out bullshit, and we like stories. Like that's kind of our thing, I guess. And he's like, oh, okay, and then, like you know, silent, awkward silence until the beers get there. And then, guess, he finally was like, oh, so what's your, what's the most interesting thing you've had on there?

Speaker 1:

I don't know the dude from Liberia, blah, blah, like they kill each other than they kill each other, very interesting. And he's like, oh, yeah. And then he goes into a spiel about, uh, when he was, I think, he went to, uh, he was working on like a unit of like a thousand Marines that were over there and they, some disaster happened where like half the force couldn't do their job because of malaria and it's because, like, they wouldn't take the meds, like you know, med day would come and like someone would like cheat it or just spit it out because it has side effects, and they're just like, well, fuck that. Well, the other side effects are you get malaria and you're fucked up.

Speaker 1:

And he just went into this whole thing of like four different kinds of malaria like named them all, which I'm not even going to attempt because I can't remember them and uh, I'm like, oh, all right, yeah, this guy is way too smart to come on our podcast. All right, it's pretty, pretty funny. Maybe he'll come on. It seems like an interesting dude, but way smarter than us.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, I'll learn some shit about malaria. Why?

Speaker 1:

not I mean that, and that was just one story off the top of his head, off something I gave him.

Speaker 2:

Oh, yeah, this dude that I was playing disc golf with was, you know, two hours of, just like you know, talking to him a little bit and he was saying that there's people don't know it, but there's a total underground network connecting, like underground railways, connecting all of the military bases across the country.

Speaker 1:

Hmm.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, and just like I forgot he was talking about some. I guess he's like a YouTuber or somebody that was like out in the Nevada desert like way, like miles away from society, and he's like why is there like rumbling going on out here? And then he like was like, oh shit, like I know that spot and that was like near where, like an access point for one of them, like underground, like rail stations, was.

Speaker 1:

So that's why what's his face is talking about those underground rail like Elon oh well, I think that's just a whole different.

Speaker 2:

like he wants to do that, but for yeah, but think about that.

Speaker 1:

So like they're like oh yeah, I guess that's cool we don't already do that yeah.

Speaker 2:

But his, I think Elon wasn't just like tunnels with trains and like rails in it. He wants that like hyperloop, which is a pressure pressurized, like vacuum tunnel where you can just shoot these like pods fast as fuck.

Speaker 1:

I get it, but but think about it because, like whenever you see, like right now, my buddy's probably 10 years behind of conspiracies, so he's seeing all the stuff from that I've already watched 10 years ago and you know, worked through and figured out. So he's sending me videos of like something's big is coming and then just like 10 clips of like military stuff moving throughout the country and it's like, with some very quick research, read the comments, check the videos like this one's from two years ago.

Speaker 1:

They just matched up a bunch of videos of military stuff moving and then said you know something's coming up now, Like I would imagine that if martial law or something crazy was happening, they would put those in covered trains, like, instead of just moving tanks out in the open going across states. Come on, guys.

Speaker 2:

So, on conspiracy side of, like I waited till we're almost done playing disc golf, and I was like, yeah, so you spent a lot of time in the air, right, and he goes, yeah, like tons and tons of hours just like. So, like, see any of that, like UFO shit, like tics, the tic tacks, the commander Fraber and like all this kind of stuff, and he goes. I don't know, like we weren't in a lot of those areas, so I didn't see any of that, like I didn't. I didn't physically see anything myself, but like, looking at some of the videos, like the one, like recent one at the time that had come out, was like that was, and again, I don't remember the technical name that he gave, but that was like I was like, oh, that's like a DC 101, which is the American anti-gravity aircraft that we've been working on. So you didn't hear that from me, fuck.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, yeah. Who's doing this? That's the aliens, for sure.

Speaker 2:

Probably. Oh man, now are they getting the technology from aliens?

Speaker 1:

I don't know, man, I don't know. No, like they have the smartest people working, like they take them out of like commercial and like the business side of everywhere in the world and have them hyper focused on military uses for technology.

Speaker 2:

But what if those people commit war crimes? They surely wouldn't give them immunity and bring them to.

Speaker 1:

America, would they? I mean, I don't think so. I mean, that's what those trials were about, right, like just because you hang the slowest one of a people outside of your rocket factory and they wouldn't bring in a make, nasa or anything. That sounds insane.

Speaker 2:

No, a government wouldn't do something like that.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, conspiracy talk. Yeah, it's all fake.

Speaker 2:

Absolutely. Don't shoot us.

Speaker 1:

Well, I mean look, pay us, We'll say whatever you want. It's super easy. No dead bodies, no Clinton trail.

Speaker 2:

I am a shill. As soon as someone gives me money, I will say whatever you want.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, it's like you wonder about, like, when people like talk about Jones, like he made millions off of the suffering of other people, like, yeah, that's, what else are you going to do? Like, first of all, nobody is like your hardcore people that are crazy about you are like Jim Jones.

Speaker 2:

No who.

Speaker 1:

Who Jones Freaking infowars.

Speaker 2:

Oh, Alex Jones.

Speaker 1:

I mean hilarious guy, definitely like you know whether he's psycho or psych, obviously a psycho. But I mean like, yeah, you're making money, like, of course, what else would you? What other motivations would you have? Being righteous will only last you so long. True, like righteousness doesn't pay the bills, so pay us please, we'll say whatever. Yeah, I mean, what do you want? Never mind.

Speaker 2:

I'd love to have a little thing on the bottom of our you know disclaimer. Not like we weren't fact checked. Fact checked, you know. Do you have to have a certain amount of followers for YouTube to fact check you? Could we just say whatever the fuck we want until we blow up I think that's the way it works.

Speaker 1:

I just there's somebody posted a picture of something and it was underneath like fact check this, it was false. And it was like a picture of something and there when you go to click on it see like oh well, what's false about it? They were just like this thing can be taken out of, out of context. So it isn't wrong or false, Unless I say like it was fucking weird, it's not, it's not false, but if it's, you don't have the context of whatever.

Speaker 2:

Is there then? But I mean, I wish I could remember what it was, because it was one of those things where it's like nothing crazy let's, you know, say, when they're shooting, um, fuck, uh in Glorious Basterds, and they have any of the people that were playing Nazis in that movie dressed up in Nazi uniform and there's like just a picture of them like out on a street somewhere and you're like look at this fucking actor he's going to a Nazi meeting.

Speaker 2:

Okay, well, no, he's playing a role like so there's context missing from something like that.

Speaker 1:

That's fair enough. This was not that, it was uh, man, I wish I could remember it, but whatever, point being uh, you see, any of this stuff on the sound of whatever, the sound of freedom.

Speaker 2:

Freedom. Yeah, there's the pedophile trafficking, sex trafficking movie.

Speaker 1:

It is pretty weird, like the way the news is handled.

Speaker 2:

I mean it's not blown up anywhere. And then I saw the conspiracy that now movie theaters are doing whatever they can to not show it where yeah, I don't know if that makes any sense.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, like I think that's just all bullshit.

Speaker 2:

Like and the one I saw was I looked online and said it was sold out and then I like came here and the movie theater is empty.

Speaker 1:

And they turned off the AC.

Speaker 2:

Maybe you just looked at the wrong fucking time frame.

Speaker 1:

No, I wouldn't believe individual people but like that news and the rotten tomatoes and like all the things saying like just because the director believed in the Q-non thing, like all right, well, I get it. Yeah, that's crazy. Definitely don't believe that. It's stupid and that's for stupid people. But what if he also makes a good movie Like, well, the one a lot of directors are fucking have like various things that they they believe that maybe Quentin Tarantino is weird with feet.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, watch any of his movies.

Speaker 1:

Oh, he hates that too, and you bring up like his like love of feet. I love his movies. I think he's one of the greatest directors, but there's something about him.

Speaker 2:

He's just like a douchebag of a person, yeah he's a douchebag of a person.

Speaker 1:

I get it. You were probably picked on and made fun of your whole life and then you, you actually have something to contribute and you're actually like a genius in this one area. But humility, man, just a little bit of humility. Like you're not smarter than every single person, even dumb people. Like nobody wants a dickhead to talk down to them.

Speaker 2:

That's why I couldn't stand once upon a time in Hollywood.

Speaker 1:

The end was the best part. Yeah, okay, 15 minutes of two hours and 45 minutes. And when he put when he's at the ranch, that was pretty good too.

Speaker 2:

That's all right. It's just like two and a half hours of Quentin Tarantino jerking off Hollywood for people in Hollywood, yeah no, and I get that.

Speaker 1:

Maybe that's probably his worst movie of all of his great movies, but I don't know. His attitude is probably his and his this. Maybe it's just because he despises the media and the reporters. Maybe that's a little bit of it. Maybe if he was talking to a regular guy and he's like yo man, I fucking love your movies, like why'd you do this or how'd you do that, and maybe he wouldn't be such a dickhead.

Speaker 2:

But maybe he would. He's probably just a dickhead, yeah.

Speaker 1:

He likes feet.

Speaker 2:

What a weirdo. Yeah right, I mean good for him. But the one of the things I saw about sound of silence was that it's Freedom, or sound of freedom that's silent Um that's what they want Silence. But it's it's based off a true story and I think in the climax of the movie they do this raid on whatever compound, wherever it is, and they free like 56 children, which they're like. Ok, that's a movie, but I like looked up what actually happened. They save like 140 kids. They saved way more kids.

Speaker 1:

Why'd they go low? Why'd they go low?

Speaker 2:

Why, like it wasn't believable for the movie.

Speaker 1:

That's interesting. I mean, are there giant sex trafficking rings? Yeah, probably right. Um, I almost I feel like it's it's a it's probably more of a neat, like you wouldn't be able to bust a bunch of them at once, Like I don't know. I think it's poor, desperate people right Doing that, especially in third worlds.

Speaker 2:

Like like there's got to be some sort of kingpin at the top, you think? Well, obviously, like in whoever the street level person is like, that's grabbing people off the street, throwing them in a shipping container and shipping them off to wherever they're getting money from whoever they're getting those people, and then those people are then selling up to, so so obviously there's a chain that runs upward to something, but I think it's very it's. There is no centralized network.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, I don't think there's like a snake that you can cut the head off. I think it's a shit ton of snakes.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, but I think there's still. You know, it gets down to a couple of powerful dudes that are in charge of the whole, at least a wing of the operation, I would say.

Speaker 1:

Is he in the the West Wing?

Speaker 2:

perhaps.

Speaker 1:

That's cocaine cowboy to. That video of you can see on Jill's face like her annoyance of dealing with this elderly man who has no clue where he's at and her son who is gacked out of his fucking mind behind her Just classic cocaine vibes Like I have hung out with tons of dudes for countless hours in the night on cocaine. That's what they look like.

Speaker 2:

It's only been since Trump was president that I even had an awareness of what the White House Press Secretary was like, the person that does the briefings, and all of that.

Speaker 1:

The first guy was like that spicer guy, right, what a dickhead.

Speaker 2:

But like now, like for the Biden administration, they have this, like Karine John Pierre.

Speaker 1:

I think her name is. Real clueless bitch.

Speaker 2:

Oh dude, it's just so great to be like somebody asked her about and they're like well, the Biden family was actually away at their vacation home that weekend. And then the report comes out like an hour later. It's like all of the Bidens were in the White House, Like you're just like, and it's not.

Speaker 1:

She's doing what we wish we could do. Yeah, it's just straight lying to people. Hey, they're paying me. I have a great. You guys should see how much they're going to pay me after this job.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, and I thought just every White House Press Secretary ever. It's not just, it's not this administration, or the last, or the one before it's all of them.

Speaker 1:

I mean, the best one was the hot chick, obviously.

Speaker 2:

It was good. But it just you, just to get to stand there and absolutely know you're lying to everyone. You're just like no.

Speaker 1:

To the United States.

Speaker 2:

They weren't to the world.

Speaker 1:

Well, yeah, more importantly the world, but yeah, like when they come back and correct it. So whose cocaine was it? I'm going to have to refer you back to Secret Service. Jesus Christ.

Speaker 2:

Like there was fucking scan. It was in an area where there were no cameras.

Speaker 1:

There was people working in the White House, in the White House.

Speaker 2:

Meanwhile they got that dude.

Speaker 1:

That was like they came back after party with I don't know some congressman or some shit. He came back with a chick and like they were in hanging out like four in the morning in one of the offices, came back out and then I think they were both married maybe and like they found out that they banged. She was like, oh, it's definitely rape, like Jesus Christ. They got all that on tape.

Speaker 2:

Oh yeah.

Speaker 1:

But it's amazing. I mean, if you really did, if you really thought like, if you're like one of these old people that watches the news all the time, you really thought America was like you know we're better than like Third World Banana Republics, like now you know like no, we're not. It's the same shit. Like we're all doing the same thing. It's power struggles. It's exactly what you see in the movies and TV shows. It's a damn shame. With a mullet like that, you seem especially disappointed because this is America.

Speaker 2:

You think I could take over the world with hair like this?

Speaker 1:

No, you just scream America, like I, just America. America is the best country in the world, which I agree with. But damn, we are just like the rest of them.

Speaker 2:

We're just on top right now. I don't think anybody's saying it's like it is the best country in the world. Obviously, people from all over the world want to come to America, but I don't think anybody's out here saying we're different.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, I don't know. I feel like that's the sentiment, like yeah, we're just free with the world police. Yeah, we are free.

Speaker 2:

I mean as much as they are trying to stop that.

Speaker 1:

Oh, that's interesting. As time goes on, it's just way more like. You get older May, hopefully you're getting wiser. You're just like oh shit, gotta get my own shit together and that's all that matters.

Speaker 2:

Yeah right.

Speaker 1:

What else you?

Speaker 2:

got. I think that was pretty much. I was good run on, yeah, kind of expended everything I had. I don't think I got anything. Nothing really crazy from this week. Who watched what? You take Winston down with you or no? No, he was at my dad's house.

Speaker 1:

That's not good. No, they did. You tell the police the area.

Speaker 2:

I swept the house for swallowing both things, but he was playing with the little dog like all weeks so cool, looked like he had a good time. Talk to him, facetime him a couple of times. I mean, he's a dog's an idiot because he's like me and Brittany on video and they're like trying to hold up the phone to him, to be like look, and he can hear us, and is like looking around.

Speaker 1:

I think it's right there in front of there holding it in your face.

Speaker 2:

Dummy, that's funny. I'm gonna grab a beer. I've, I do. I have one more thing that it came. It was just something that I had noticed and it's something that I've explained to multiple women in my life over the years and that's something that I can just say it and I don't have to explain it to you at all, but it's like one of them things that women just don't get.

Speaker 1:

We need a threesome. No, the man nod yeah just what's up, and then I'm not a threat to you and hopefully you're not gonna fuck with me.

Speaker 2:

I see you, I see, you see me. We can just keep going Like when I was younger and delivering pizzas and I was like sitting there behind the counter waiting for a delivery to come in and the pizza like the counter girls are there and a guy walks in, grabs his like pizza that was on the to-go shelf and as he like looks, I usually give him a head nod and he like nods back and walks out and these two girls just like you know him.

Speaker 2:

I've never seen that guy before in my life. They're like, why did you like, why did that just happen? Because, like, we looked at each other and you go, so, but why did you have to? Because he saw that, I saw him, so you have to acknowledge. And then there's always, like there's the the head up nod which you know, you know what's up, like that's somebody you don't know, yeah, usually, and then you give like the head down nod to somebody that you see that you're just like good call or something like not gonna, I'm not talking to you, but like what's up man?

Speaker 1:

Yeah, acknowledging another man's presence yeah for sure, yeah, it's just something that it's.

Speaker 2:

I've laughed multiple times and it happened again recently where somebody was like what you?

Speaker 1:

know that guy.

Speaker 2:

No, I've never seen him, so what?

Speaker 1:

doesn't happen is when, like last night, when you some dick heads at the bar so you go in there's a couple empty seats, like a couple old ladies are here. There's no beer in front of the seat. So you know, I see the guy next to it looks like he's by himself and I just like, hey, excuse me, is this seat taken? He gives you the old doesn't look like it. Okay, fuck you, guy, your dick head.

Speaker 1:

So I sit down so like bullshit and drinking like three beers really fast, watching the band, and then like two little ladies like they're having a great time, they're like 80s at the bar just enjoying the rest of their lives, you know. So I get up, I'm gonna have to take a piss. I'm like I talked to the one old lady. I'm like, hey, excuse me, like can you watch my seat because I don't fucking trust that guy. Both of us started laughing. That was like set us off for the rest of the rest of the time I was sitting there until they left, just like nice old ladies. You know, bullshit with them.

Speaker 2:

Did you say loud enough that that guy heard you? Yeah?

Speaker 1:

absolutely, and I had to walk past him to go to the heathen. Like there's no need to be an asshole, like, especially because it was early, you're not drunk yet. Yeah. Doesn't look like it. Oh, it really irked me the rest of the night. I was like I should just, I just fucking elbow this guy for no reason.

Speaker 2:

You really you really probably should have talked to that guy Cuz it. You probably would have got along like if you end up talking about shit, you probably agree on a lot of stuff. Yeah, absolutely, and that you know that little bit of. You know dickheadedness out of nowhere Funny, I guess, if that's you know. It's like come on man, look like anybody sitting there.

Speaker 1:

I don't know, man, uh, yeah, plus, you never know who anybody's with. But I think, you see, like I could have took them out.

Speaker 2:

Hey, that's fine, but like I'd rather that then you know. Just a Fucking no.

Speaker 1:

Dude like that's more irritating me to oh yeah, that'd be real, like you know. Alright, there's a problem here. I guess I didn't do anything to you. Yeah, you're, you're saying it was like he said it, like there was a problem, but it's just like he seems like he said it, like he was on a straight and like out on an arresting, like I was bothering Like, look, I'm not looking for a date, buddy.

Speaker 2:

Yeah well, he was probably there to get hammered.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, and then he's drinking on Nicolau Bultress, so not too drunk, if you know.

Speaker 2:

I'm saying Well, he just wanted to drink a lot of them before we got hammered.

Speaker 1:

Yeah maybe I want to look up in their bathroom. They have like a cheerleading Application. No, they have photos of like whatever year's cheerleaders. I'm like I want to see where they are now Because it's pretty aged. Before like the Eagles cheerleaders yeah, they've got like a couple of them signs because like their big thing Is like they bring in like old sports players from the area if they happen to stop in and I guess they know a couple of them or whatever. Just like I'd like to see these broads now.

Speaker 2:

I bet you half of them are in fantastic shape. In the other half you wouldn't recognize.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, it's true. It's true. I mean, we all fall apart, some of us our whole lives.

Speaker 2:

Oh, you got to be together, to fall apart, yeah true, that can't come unraveled if you're already unraveled exactly.

Speaker 1:

But besides that cool atmosphere Again with the older ladies they love me sitting there at the end of the night like Russ's aunt Comes up. I've probably never seen this lady before, but she just thought maybe I, like I was, like I Was hanging out with his mom and everything and a bunch of older people she comes like directly like she's saying goodbye to everybody. Oh, I haven't seen you in so long. Oh, you look so good. I'm glad to see you. All right, love you Bye. And like my wife looks over at me, she's do you know her? As like never met her before in my life, she thought I was somebody else. Obviously Pretty funny.

Speaker 2:

Hey, you just got to keep that going though next time. Yeah.

Speaker 1:

Hey, am I in the will?

Speaker 2:

Hey, we, this is bad. We did that to a Some old lady that in high school she got the phone number wrong and said a calling her grandson. She called our buddy. His name was Kevin. Like called his cell phone by accident. So we saved that number and then we're like would be out doing whatever. Like oh, let's fucking prank call that old lady. And then we'd call up and just be like oh, grandma, it's Jimmy. She's like oh, jimmy, I haven't seen you in so long. Like how are you? Talked in his old. And then we and then it started to go and like grandma, I'm in trouble, I need you, I'm like, oh my god, we're just the one time.

Speaker 2:

She was like trying to dial 911 but she didn't hang up the phone. So she's on the phone with us and we just do.

Speaker 1:

That's actually like a real scam now, like I had to tell the wife and kid like look, if somebody's calling saying they need cash because I've been abducted, it's not real.

Speaker 2:

Look at me. Yeah, am I worth number one?

Speaker 1:

I'm not getting abducted, no, well, more of the scam would be generated my way like, hey, he's been arrested and we need bail money. I'll be the one calling you for that, don't worry about that. But yes, that's like a real scam. Now they're getting people.

Speaker 2:

Oh it's, there's scams on old people have just been around since Telephones.

Speaker 1:

It's kicking up now like so the new scam is they will, they'll contact you, they'll say like, oh, I'm from such and such a Job that you used to have. However, they got that information fishing or whatever and it's like, well, I've been retired for eight years. Like, oh yeah. But I mean there's this project and Happen, you know, happened in the course of the when you were at there. So we're gonna need like $8,000 now we're gonna send you a check back. It's gonna be for ten, for all your troubles. And like the old lady gets a cashier's check and is trying to mail it to these people and, you know, and the lady at our worst trying to stop her, like hey, this doesn't make sense, you're retired, why would somebody that you haven't seen in over a decade be trying to get money from you? So I mean, we worked with a bunch trying to, you know, make it make sense. But obviously it's a scam and there's been a bunch of them lately.

Speaker 2:

I step mom almost got got on one like people call him, like oh is, your Comcast bill is too high. Like here's like the trick they don't know about. Like and I work for whatever third party and we can set you up for your get your Comcast bill cut in a third. And Like, if she was, I guess she was complaining about it to somebody earlier that day about Comcast and charging an arm and a leg. And Then, like this call happens and she was halfway through signing up or doing whatever. I was like Let me give this a goog. And you know checkers like yep, they're calling, saying they're from Comcast and she's like Hang out, like I'm done damn, almost got her on there, like this she's doing it, she's doing it, she almost got got for sure.

Speaker 1:

You're not allowed to handle the pills anymore, man scams?

Speaker 2:

well, I think the no more. I guess all the Nigerian princes died off because that's not floating around anymore, Well it all changed. It used to be all them email scams. Yeah now, and then it went to To phone scale, a phone call scams, and then I think it was text message scams for a while, and now it's back to.

Speaker 1:

You know, ai generated voice Scams well, it's funny because, like I was just explaining it, like I have coffee on Sundays with the 80 year olds and like telling them, like yeah, like anytime you get an email that says you've won, congratulations, your order has been stopped, like anything that you guys are getting in your email box, like, be very careful because moat, like 90% of them are scams. If you didn't order anything from UPS or FedEx lately, you shouldn't be getting an email from them saying they've got your stuff and all they need is your information.

Speaker 2:

I've gotten like two in the last month of like text messages. It was like your United States Postal Service packages Can't be delivered because of whatever. Like you know Like click here with your information terms. I just delete and report the.

Speaker 1:

Absolutely so it's getting these old.

Speaker 2:

I don't have money to order shit online right now.

Speaker 1:

But it's funny and so, and also like they had a hard hit, a really hard time distinguishing between when you open up your email and then there's all this, the in the ad part. It's like, hey, you have a Facebook message, but it's just like it's not an email, it's just the ads that are trying to get you to click on it. Like there's a girl down the street that wants to fuck. She doesn't exist and so they were, you know, and it's like then it's like put in your information is like automatically steals all your shit. Like Stop doing that.

Speaker 1:

Like whenever you just I think it's somebody that's like born with the internet where they get like Used to it, like you don't even see it anymore because you're just like oh yeah, that's just an ad, you're doing your thing, you don't notice those things anymore to wear somebody it's new to using computer all the time. They're just like, oh, I don't know it's, it's asking for this stuff. I have to give it to it like you don't know, you're not even on the website. You originally wanted to go on. Just four fucks praying on old people that don't know better. It's gonna be fun when we're old. What kind of tricks we're gonna be. It's all gonna be some VR bullshit.

Speaker 2:

We're thinking we're gonna be logging into our VR house and we're gonna be in some kind of somebody else's VR something being able to get out.

Speaker 1:

Who knows. It's like, oh, the world's gonna be underwater by then, so we won't have to worry about it. I just watched a video of these activists. First they chain themselves and then they put the PVC pipe over top of it. I was like that's pretty good move. That'll take them an extra couple steps to saw it in half. Like they're up in the Hamptons, I guess, at an air. It's just asshole kids like I'm betting that they, so I bet they probably live in that area, so they're not. You know, poor kids and the fucking projects taking their time to go get arrested. It's just amazing like cuz. That's like a scam in itself, like protesting and being an activist or whatever you want.

Speaker 2:

I fucking call the one I saw recently that made me laugh was it's somewhere over in Europe and it was at like an airport. These people wanted to glue their hands to the runway so that planes couldn't land there, but like regular glue wouldn't do it, so they like whipped up a batch of epoxy and epoxy their hand to the ground and like You're not supposed to touch that with your skin.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, a bunch of.

Speaker 2:

They're gonna lose a bunch of fingers where there can't like use their hand for shit.

Speaker 1:

That's justice Now, when they can sit there and tell their kids like, yeah, I was an asshole activist when I was younger, or here's why I'm fucking missing a thing, dickheads, just there's, just so. See, it's easy, that's easy to be an activist and to just go fucking get with a bunch of other young people. You've got nothing going on because you're young and you're supposed to be living the best years of your life, and instead you've gotten ducted into this cult-like behavior.

Speaker 2:

And-. Are you trying to say Greta Thunberg doesn't care about the environment? Didn't want to do homework when she was in middle school?

Speaker 1:

I would imagine that, and whoever her handlers are, whether it's her parents or whatever organization that's put this all together probably pays her pretty well. I would imagine she doesn't have any bills to worry about.

Speaker 2:

Well, right now, but at first, like when she was like 13 or 14 or whatever. When she burst on the scene was like oh how dare you? How dare you that whole like she was on protest where she wasn't going to school or doing schoolwork because of climate?

Speaker 1:

change. She just thinks she's just getting-.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, she didn't want to go to school. She was probably bullied for being weird. And then she was like I don't want to go to school. And I can't just say that I don't want to go to school, so I'll make it about climate change.

Speaker 1:

Well, now she's got some good videos out where she's fucking with the people that are asking her questions. It's like, oh, but you're so serious. But now you've got time to joke around Like, literally your prophecies have not come true, because you're a child, you don't know jack shit. And if scientists weren't telling you things, you would still not know jack shit, because you're not a fucking scientist.

Speaker 2:

You're trying to say Al Gore was wrong.

Speaker 1:

I mean, it's panned out and he's filthy, fucking rich, so-.

Speaker 2:

What about man Bear Pig?

Speaker 1:

That's pretty much where I've got my name.

Speaker 2:

So that turned out very well.

Speaker 1:

So thank you, al Gore. Yeah, stan Bear Pig, check me out on the Xbox if you want to get schooled and call duty Children. Yeah, I don't know man, the whole thing's fucking insane. Like temperatures are warming, oceans are getting higher. I don't know where all this goes. I don't think electric cars are gonna be the future, though it seems kind of insane Like if the oceans get higher and New Jersey's underwater.

Speaker 2:

Is it like the worst thing in the world? Did we lose?

Speaker 1:

anything? No, no, we didn't Fuck Jersey. I don't know.

Speaker 2:

Like Philadelphia, becomes beachfront property. I think that all just makes us a little bit wealthier as our property values go up.

Speaker 1:

I agree, I wouldn't mind that, I don't know. It's just insane. What are you gonna do? Think about it all day, not me. Obviously not, I've got Diablo to get fucking mad at.

Speaker 2:

Where are you at?

Speaker 1:

Fucking, I just beat the Mar-Marcov, I don't know. Giant Beast that's like has a bunch of like things going to make him stronger and you gotta kill all those things and then you can kill them, marcov.

Speaker 2:

Marlock. Well, what part of the like. I just got into act like a finished act too. I just started the campaign into act three.

Speaker 1:

I don't know, I'm looking for Lilith down in that cave, but I like stopped that journey so I could do like all these other stuff, oh yeah, okay, that's like towards the beginning still. Yeah, yeah, I always do all the other side quests. I'm like going all over the map to open up everything. That's what.

Speaker 2:

I was doing. I got to like level 35 and I was like I'm not doing anything.

Speaker 1:

I should probably.

Speaker 2:

I'm 35 or something like that I was like I should probably start doing the actual story.

Speaker 1:

Yeah To. You got to go to find two other dudes that were part of a trifecta guy that killed her last time or whatever. I'm at that point. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But I couldn't beat that fucking guy. And then so when I first did it, I was getting, I was getting past all his minions and then I was getting to him and getting my ass kicked and I was like okay. So I was like, oh, I'm going to go do other bunch of shit and I'll come back. But then I come back and I can bear like I'm dying five times each little side guy. I'm like what the fuck? Like I guess it levels everybody up with you.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, like it's all, like it's not, like one area is like full of level 50 characters, it's villains, it's it levels with you as cause you can do the story mode out of like. You don't have to do like act one, act two, act three.

Speaker 1:

You can start with act three, I'm getting killed by a bunch of guys just trying to travel around, like what, getting so mad, like forgetting to hit cause I'm playing with the controller, so like you've only got so many buttons, and then I forget cause I'm playing other games too. So like I'll get in there like, oh fuck, I shouldn't have used that when I should have used this. Fuck, I'm dead. But the thing about it is, like you, I'll do it like five times I'll die, and then you can transfer it back to the town to reach up your stuff.

Speaker 1:

So like, okay, that's a little bit easier, cause you stay right where you're at in that thing.

Speaker 2:

They definitely made Diablo cause. Before Diablo games, you died and then your loot was yeah. There, like you had to get back to where you died to get all your shit back. Now it just like makes it easier, like you get. If you died 10 times then your equipment breaks and you don't get it back.

Speaker 1:

I never get it to that. I'll just go back to town.

Speaker 2:

You just go repair the shit, but yeah it used to just be you're fucked if you die. I remember.

Speaker 1:

Figure it out. The original PlayStation one was just it was the coolest thing I'd ever seen. Like when you get to that level and it's the butcher and it's like you die and you just lose everything. You gotta start all. It doesn't matter if you went five levels down. And also the annoying thing was if you filled up your sack like five levels down, you have to go five fucking levels back up to go trade that loot in. To go five levels back down, like so time consuming. Fast travel is definitely the best.

Speaker 2:

But I think Diablo two had the quick town portal. They had scrolls you had to like, you had to keep them in your inventory and you could like use a scroll to get back to town.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, Fun game though, but man, it's fucking pissing me off.

Speaker 2:

It's so frustrating I think I was telling you like I was playing it. And Britt is riding the Peloton in the same room and I'm dying to the boss over and over, just like raging, like stomping my feet, like throwing a tantrum like a kid. So I'm getting towards like two hits away from being able to kill the boss and then you die.

Speaker 1:

It's like spit out another potion. This is bullshit. I finally just got five potions. I'm like what the fuck am I?

Speaker 2:

doing with four potions. Why can't I get?

Speaker 1:

more potions you gotta advance the story.

Speaker 2:

You're just doing it wrong.

Speaker 1:

I am. I am gonna have to see, cause I don't wanna run through most of the story, and then I have all this other side stuff that I didn't complete.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, but there's so much shit. Like, once you're done the story and you get to level 50, like you get the level, it caps you at level 100. So the running through the story mode gets you basically to level 50, I think, and then it unlocks these like extra hard dungeons that when you complete that you can move up to the next like world tier of difficulty. To like redo a bunch of shit, to like unlock better stuff.

Speaker 1:

Also I think I was doing it wrong. I think sometimes you gotta take somebody with you Like when you're wandering around, like you'll run into people like oh, I'm just gonna follow this guy around so much easier with two people, cause then you both fight the same guys. Like that's way better.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, I mean you. There's stuff that's intended to be like. I haven't grouped up with anybody.

Speaker 1:

I just followed people Like hey, can you follow me? And they just all ignore you. So you just hit the meat amount they follow them where they're going, wherever they're done. Fun game, though man Fucking hard to piss me off, I like it.

Speaker 1:

When you some of the rogue, like I told you, that's the guy, I was like I fire, like you got the boss down to where you need him, and then, like you fire off arrows and the like, you use your special like in the wrong direction. Fuck, like, why did you do that now? And then you die, bitch, if I would have had those fucking, that volley of arrows and I would have beat you Damn.

Speaker 2:

So you got to get the timing and the movement down. Oh man piss me off.

Speaker 1:

Cool cutscenes, cool.

Speaker 2:

That always has been.

Speaker 1:

Man fucking really demonic. I do think about like, oh man, should I be watching this? What if I go to hell?

Speaker 2:

This Diablo is where you're. You started thinking about that.

Speaker 1:

I don't know man, it's pretty demonic. Fuck it. I was just talking about.

Speaker 2:

It's all made up, bullshit.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, true, all of it, but all right, well, so this was another episode of Express Lane podcast with Kevin Stan. Peace. I thought you were gonna say something, no.

Speaker 2:

All right, yeah, just besides, what a?

Speaker 1:

All right bye.
