Introduction and Corrections
00:00:00
Speaker
and Let's fucking go. I want to get out there and get eaten. This is the role players. Nope. this is That's our queue. Our queue for sure. Wow. I've just been missing it a little bit, okay? i Man. All right. Yeah, I see how it is. You want to go do that? Go do that.
00:00:13
Speaker
All right. So,
Impromptu Game and Bigfoot Encounter
00:00:14
Speaker
listen. Danny is going to be playing an impromptu game of Monster of the Week. I've chosen the um the flake for his playbook. and um I'll let him kind of explore that character as we play. So, Danny, you start off, your character is in the middle of the woods with a giant Bigfoot.
00:00:34
Speaker
And I know that sounds redundant, but it's a Bigfoot, a Sam Squanch, that's extra big. Oh, my goodness. And then he says, ah, fuck, I hate your voice, and he dies. And you beat the Monster of the Week.
00:00:48
Speaker
Good job. You did it. I just wanted to befriend him. and then he wakes back up and he says, all right, dog man, I was just fucking with you. Let's go. Oh, thank goodness. He wears you like Yoda, like like Luke Skywalker wears Yoda. Run, run, jump. I can be your backpack, Cassie, run. Exactly.
Q&A with Adrian Tennisball
00:01:10
Speaker
Or that's our cue for long where we take your questions and we answer them as if anybody... Nothing just happened. Except this week, people did give a fuck. We got another user submitted question, which we will go over here in a moment. My name is Adam, and of course, I'm joined by my buddy, Danny Guarantee. Daniel, it's been several days. How are you?
00:01:30
Speaker
Fuck yeah! Fuck yeah, dude. I've been riding that high all week. I know! I've been doing it. I also have been doing it. I was just explaining this to a new friend at work about this.
00:01:41
Speaker
I was like, you ever just like feel like you can't be mad when you say things like fuck yeah, heck yeah, hell yeah, shit yeah. Like any adjective or like action right before the word yeah just feels good, man. Hell yeah, brother.
00:01:54
Speaker
Yeah, dude. um So anyway, Danny, do you want to just get into the questions, man? We got several from Adrian Tennisball on our website. Yeah, absolutely. Let's see what Mr. Tennis Ball has to say. Do you want me to do the first one? You can do the second one. I'll do the third one because they ask three questions. Yeah, that's fine.
00:02:13
Speaker
Yeah, we got a triple for y'all tonight. We got a triple-decker, which is not to be confused with a triple-upper-decker, because that's different. um So they say, they ask, excuse me, what's
Halloween Traditions and Changes
00:02:25
Speaker
your favorite holiday? Very simple, straightforward, and we are, you know, we're getting approaching the holidays here in America. um I don't know if everybody...
00:02:34
Speaker
I know Christmas is pretty close to standard for people who celebrate Christmas, but not everybody has Thanksgiving at the same time or like a similar holiday. So we're approaching Thanksgiving at the recording of this episode. So a pretty on point question. So Danny, you know, what's a holiday that you really like, man? So man, this is, this is a tough one. This is, this one kind of hurts me deep in my soul really because yeah, because my favorite holiday was Halloween.
00:03:03
Speaker
Ah, But unfortunately, that's one of those holidays that is, at least where I am, it's kind of being phased away. Really? Instead of going door to door, now places will start doing trunk retreats, which is fine. yeah ah But it it kind of gets rid of the magic. You don't see people walking up and down the street in costumes anymore. Yeah.
00:03:28
Speaker
Beluga and I, you know, we we have a a house on on our street and we were that was one of the big things as new home owners. We were like, oh, it's going to be great. I can't wait
Thanksgiving Traditions
00:03:39
Speaker
to get like trick or treaters and stuff.
00:03:41
Speaker
We got one. Your setup is very different, though, than like my setup, because you guys are, I guess, technically in something like a plan, but like the houses are a lot farther apart from each other. Walking that neighborhood is a lot more... like It's walkable, of of course, but there's a lot less houses between each other, where like my houses on my block, there's like 16 at least on one stretch of it at a time. Yeah, so the town that I live in, we have double lots, so every house is like...
00:04:11
Speaker
two houses away. Basically you get like, right. I see now where I come from when I was a kid, that was the kind of shit that I would walk when, after we did our main town where there was a lot of houses in our little redneck town, then we would drive up the road and get dropped off of a different, smaller neighborhood. And it was a much bigger walk, but we're like, it's worth it for the candy and we get to be out late.
00:04:30
Speaker
Um, yeah, we, we got one person and it was the people that live behind us with their baby. Oh man. Yeah. I was like candy. ah I'm diabetic.
00:04:42
Speaker
Yeah, but I'm not. I you listen next week. I have a five day weekend because I took a vacation day before and after Thanksgiving. I will come out there night and help you eat. your cook Well, you know, you know what we did?
00:04:54
Speaker
We repurposed um one of my diet. Oh, God. Sorry. I think I explained before. My mom's trying to get me to stop saying I'm on these and I keep catching myself.
00:05:05
Speaker
God damn it. So
Christmas and Capitalism
00:05:10
Speaker
one of the things I did to help with my diabetes, and this is going to sound like such a bullshit thing, but it's true.
00:05:17
Speaker
We bought a bag of ring pops. Uh-huh. Because if my blood sugar were to crash and I'm feeling weak and faint and everything, one of the best things to have to get your blood sugar up real quick is a lollipop.
00:05:33
Speaker
And with a ring pop, I don't have to worry about losing it, swallowing it by accident or whatever. I just slip it on my finger and, you know, have a lollipop. And if I do faint or whatever, it won't I won't swallow it.
00:05:48
Speaker
So that's the candy we gave out because I haven't touched them in interesting ever. Oh, man, I've had a ring pop in a hot minute. Well, next time you come over, we have a bowl of them. Well, if you're home for Thanksgiving, I'll be over. Except Mbeluga gave all of ah the, I think, the cherry ones to her best friend.
00:06:07
Speaker
I've only ever seen blue and red ones. I don't know if I've seen other colors. Well, you won't see the cherry flavor one in here. She didn't even ask permission. She just gave them all to her friend.
00:06:18
Speaker
She's like, oh, yeah, but cherries are favorite. I was like, give them some mine, too. Not that I can eat them. So what is your favorite holiday if you're phasing out of Halloween because of the lack of... Right.
00:06:30
Speaker
I want it to be Halloween, but I think it's going to have to move to Thanksgiving ah because it's so good. It's just so delicious. Oh, because a reason to have a bunch of food? It's it's at least where i celebrate. It's literally wake up, skip breakfast.
00:06:49
Speaker
We have kind of like a late-ish lunch, maybe like one or two o'clock. um lunch with my in-laws where we have the whole king caboodle turkey stuffing cranberry sauce they make ah a green bean casserole all of this stuff we stuff our faces until we you know i like I go in sweatpants every year because I know better And we stuff our faces until we can't stuff anymore. And then we all come home and go to sleep for the rest of the day. is the best holiday.
00:07:25
Speaker
ah Now that Halloween is... me Yeah. Yeah, I mean, I appreciate hall Halloween because it's like...
00:07:38
Speaker
You would have to be a fucking psychotic business to trespass across Halloween's threshold. like Because Christmas has invaded so much of November now that they play Christmas music in stores on November 1st.
00:07:53
Speaker
Oh, when I went to visit my parents in South Carolina in the very start of November, their like their cars have... a set station that it defaults to every time they start the car and it was playing Christmas music. I want to set all of capitalism on fire when that happens. Yeah, I told them you have to change that immediately. Because the thing is, I know this isn't what's your least favorite. I used to love. creative I'm a big gift giver when I have the financial means or the creative means to do so. I love giving gifts and it's not because it's a material thing, but I just like I'm really good at figuring out like what people like or what they're missing or what they need. I take a lot of pride in giving somebody something that's either going to make them feel something or that's going to, they're going to be able to use. And I used to love doing that. But like, as I become more aware of capitalism's evils and not to say it's completely bad, but the way it's structured is bad. um
00:08:49
Speaker
The, ah what am I trying to say? Like, like, again, the Christmas music thing, I get angry at it because it's all to influence purchasing. That's why they do it. It's not because everybody loves Christmas music because that's simply not true. Most people don't want to hear Christmas music until December, but we hear it in November because they're already putting up their sales signs and Black Friday starts. It's not even just Black Friday anymore. They do sales the week before. They're doing them now. They do them Thursday and Friday and Saturday and Sunday. And some do it on Wednesday. Some are doing it now. And it's just, it's all based on to get you to buy things. And I just hate that
00:09:32
Speaker
People are trying to use the joy that Christmas and the the message is supposed to bring to instead try to influence purchasing to the point where I'm just I'm angry. That is the case.
00:09:44
Speaker
So I can't love Christmas the way that I used to because I'm just hyper aware now that there's no reason to play Christmas music in November unless it's just to influence your buying decisions.
00:09:56
Speaker
And you can time that by what stores are playing the music and what decorations and stuff are already up before we've even hit the middle of November. You know, it's just that's just the case. It goes from like, hey, it's fall. It's fall. It's fall. It's autumn to it's Halloween to it's Christmas for two months. So anyway, my favorite holiday outside of all that is a tricky one because.
00:10:22
Speaker
I don't really buy into any of the holidays that are capitalistic anymore because I just hate that it's – we have to buy things for this. That's how you celebrate it. So I would say my favorite holiday is – ah One that I make up. So you know what? I'm taking i'm taking December 1st off of work this year because that's a holiday for me because it's ah it's ah it's um it's a Monday and that gives me a four-day work week. So my favorite holiday this year, December 1st.
00:10:59
Speaker
I'm taking that shit off, baby. Hell yeah, you do you, bro. And I do not mean go fuck yourself. Oh, yeah, right. Fuck yeah. Go fuck yourself. I'm actually right there with you.
00:11:13
Speaker
i know we're changing topics now, and this is probably going to be the rest of the episode. And I know we talked about this last Christmas, but you and I are both kind of on the same page, of a little grumpy about Christmas ah for a lot of the same reasons, too. like I also...
00:11:33
Speaker
It's my least favorite holiday and not because of Christmas itself. I love the idea. i love the spirit of it. the The idea of loving thy neighbor and gift giving.
00:11:44
Speaker
But just become so... Things we should be feeling all year. Yes, absolutely. ah But I'd rather it be once a year than never. Sure. But yes, I agree. It should be. And if you're somebody that's like, oh, it's Christmas time, let me be generous, and then you're not the rest of the year, fuck you. um Yeah, you do you.
00:12:02
Speaker
Yeah, go you do you. ah But it it's just been so bastardized and commercialized, like you were saying, that...
00:12:15
Speaker
The music I used to enjoy when it was about the spirit of Christmas, right? When when you could take it at face value and you're like, oh, it's Christmas, it's happy, it's fun. Now, when I hear that music with, you know, having being an adult and knowing how Christmas is just run by a bunch of greedy assholes,
00:12:36
Speaker
It sounds... It's like the catchphrase of these companies being like, oh, it's Christmas, don't forget to buy your your boss something. You mean my boss that makes more than me? Fuck no.
00:12:50
Speaker
Yeah, or just in general of, here's a bunch more shit that you don't need that we could have priced lower anyway, but we're pricing it lower now because it looks like we're giving you a deal. That way you'll buy it because you don't want to miss this low price. It's very take advantage of the fact that you were before. Which, the way, we raised the price at the same time. So the discounted price is still about where it was before. So true. There could be a whole episode on that, Danny. Don't get me started. I'm sorry. Yes. We will have a couple more episodes before Christmas. So we'll get to it. We'll have the advent calendar of reasons to bitch about Christmas leading up to it.
00:13:32
Speaker
It's gonna be a holly jelly Christmas episode this year, bitches. Bah humbug, damn it. ah
More Q&A with Adrian Tennisball
00:13:39
Speaker
Do you want to answer Adrian's other questions? Yes. Question number two from Mr. Tennis Ball.
00:13:44
Speaker
Yeah. ah Do any of you two want to go to Canada with me next year? i have not gotten to use my passport yet. I would love to. Absolutely. You just have to let me know when and make sure that I have enough money.
00:13:59
Speaker
Sorry. Are you are you getting a phone call? Who is it? Is it Umbaluga? It's Umbaluga because I have the house to myself. Put her on. but No, absolutely not. Put her on speaker. She would kill me.
00:14:10
Speaker
She would come back from her trip just to kill me. Oh, excellent. Is she out doing lesbian stuff with Kimmy again? Always. They're going to PAX. Oh, I knew it. How come I don't get invited to PAX? I like things. What the fuck?
00:14:24
Speaker
ah Danny, we need to do more stuff together. it's I hate that they live so close and we don't. i was going to say you need to move closer. i wish you would come out here. You haven't come to my neck of the woods yet. I do need to. Do you want to go to Canada with Adrienne or what? I'm thinking about it. I might do that. i would Do you have your passport? I do have my passport. I use it to go to South Carolina. Oh, yeah. You use it to go to South Carolina. Yes, a very international space. because i don't I don't have the real ID thing yet. I still use my passport to travel pretty much anywhere. I use my passport go to South Carolina. Yeah, I've always wanted to go. I've heard it's better to go like in the spring-ish or the summertime up there.
00:15:04
Speaker
It gets pretty cold pretty quickly, like earlier like you know fall and winter. But a friend of mine up there was saying I should go check it out. I know my roommates went up there for Pride. They had like a big Pride thing over the summer up there that was really nice. And before my parents messaged me after hearing this and saying, well, how come you you want to do that, but whenever we invite you to trips and stuff, you're like, oh, we'll see. you know I visit you guys every year.
00:15:32
Speaker
And I will keep doing so because I love you and I like spending time with you. But this is our friend that lives in Germany, who I have only say seen once. Yeah. So if I get the chance to see him again.
00:15:43
Speaker
um yeah You know, ah he has to fly over here and he's going to go to Canada because America is dangerous. so You know, want to meet them there because I can't convince them back are actually like the travel ban lists or like the do not go here lists of some of these countries. Oh, yeah. Most of Earth is like, nah, we're not going there.
00:16:02
Speaker
Don't play. ah Anyway, yes. Yes, we want to go to Canada. We'll figure it out. Adam absolutely wants to. I want to and I'm open to the idea. I just got to make, you know, we'll have to plan and say, right. We have to make sure that ah it's, it's, it's feasible for our finances and time. Yeah. But I would love to, unless you have a lot of money, even stocks you're trading and in which case sell them so we can go with you.
00:16:28
Speaker
Me. Great. No, and no, no. Adrian Tennisball. I happen to know he's learning how to trade stocks. Oh, we doing a day trade over here? i don't know if he's day trading. I think he's just investing and then like they're learning when to sell later.
00:16:41
Speaker
That's smart of him. He's a very smart boy. He's a genius. That's something I'm to tip my toes into. I hope that when he becomes a successful millionaire that he'll remember me and yeah at least maybe pay off my car or something so I can fulfill everyone else's dream Us, Adam. Remember us.
00:16:56
Speaker
Us. Pay off us cars. Us. I want money too. Final question from Adrian Tennisball is, how did the whole umbeluga thing start again? So that was because you were trying not to say her real name. And I messed up. I think it came from the M and L. or When you told that psychic story about meeting someone who started with an M or something,
00:17:30
Speaker
Well, I almost said her real name, which I have done better like three times since I've accidentally said her name and she knows and she doesn't care. i still just do it because it's jokes.
00:17:42
Speaker
um Right. but Her name is Mel. Yes. Her name is Mel. And I almost messed up. So I said it's Beluga. I think that came from the psychic episode because you were saying you would meet somebody who started with an M. And I said, but Beluga doesn't start with an M. And I think you said, oh, because it's Beluga. Oh, that's right. I think that's where it officially like. Because it's Beluga.
00:18:07
Speaker
Right. Exactly. I think you're right. those I think that's where we finally landed later because you were just kind of. saying my wife, or I think you call her Bell for a few times for like Beluga. my lab But then I was like, Beluga, I'd start with a name. But they said, oh, it's Beluga.
00:18:24
Speaker
Yeah, I try not to use names unless like I have permission and stuff. Yeah. is yeah I don't want to give away somebody's real identity like Adrian Tennisball. Yeah, Adrian Tennisball is a totally different person. I didn't mean to dox you, Mr. Tennisball.
00:18:40
Speaker
see Yeah. Put your last name at your own risk in there, Tennisball. So, yeah, so that's your answer is we it was just Danny trying to avoid saying her real name.
00:18:53
Speaker
And then I'm pretty sure I'm like 98% sure that we so we landed on Mbeluga during the psychic story. It makes sense. that You said I would meet somebody who starts with M, I think.
00:19:05
Speaker
And I like, Mbeluga doesn't start with an M. Starts with a B. Or no, I said Beluga doesn't start with an It starts with B. And you said Mbeluga. And I was like, ah! Yeah, it's Mbeluga. And then we came up with that great 60s doo-wop song. just it It fits so well. It really fucking does. It's awesome. Maybe someday we can make that song if I find the right beats on my little app that I pay for. There you go. I'd be down.
00:19:27
Speaker
ah Yeah, I can put it at the end of an episode someday. you if you want to hear that, let us know. Put it on funinstallernetwork.biz. Yeah, send us a message. Let us know if you want us to make a Mbeluga song. Mbeluga song.
00:19:42
Speaker
In like 60s doo-wop. I'll try to make it like a... It'll be bad. Just say, it'll be bad. it's gonna be awful. But I'll make it. But, you know, it'll be there. We'll put it on Spotify. Yeah, I mean, I'll put it on all the things. I mean, I'm trying, you know, it'll be on Spotify, but you can listen. I'll put it on YouTube so everybody can find it. There you go. I think that's the right way to do it.
00:20:03
Speaker
Yeah. Okay. So those are all the questions. But Danny, I had two things I wanted to discuss, one of which you and I started discussing earlier.
RPG Currency and Wealth Metaphors
00:20:13
Speaker
So I'm going to name both things so I can remember both things. So the first one, we were discussing how to translate currency from like...
00:20:21
Speaker
tabletop role-playing games or like video games that use copper, silver, and gold to American currency. And the other thing is I wanted to tell you, it's not so much a dream, but just like an idea that I had from a dream about how hell is made of ice and not fire. So which one do you want to talk about first?
00:20:37
Speaker
Well, we already started the the currency one. Let's just do that for now. So I was kind of sitting in a bit of a fugue state before we started this recording because I was waiting for Danny to get his stuff set up. And sometimes and like I'm trying not to look. I'm trying to catch myself about how many times I grab my phone just out of instinct when I'm bored, even though I have two screens in front of me already.
00:20:58
Speaker
And I was just hating. So i went to grab it and i was like, Adam, you don't need to look at the same thing you just closed. I just keep opening up the same app because I'm gradually deleting other apps. And so I'm having less diversity. So I just keep looking at the same shit. I'm trying to train myself not to touch my phone as much.
00:21:13
Speaker
So I let it go. And so I just started kind of staring at my wall and I don't know how it happened, but at some point I started thinking about like video game and tabletop role-playing game currency. And so I thought, what is like, if, you know, for instance, if you're playing Dungeons and Dragons and you go to a tavern, usually the dungeon master will be playing the bartender and you'll say how much for a beer a bartender? And he'll say one copper or something or two for one copper or this sandwich is two copper or something like that and you know but a lot of times when you get treasure and you go adventuring or when you play these games you find what they call gold pieces usually it says gp or it'll just say gold i kept thinking at first it must suck to just carry around like a sack full of gold that's got to be noisy and nobody really factors it in when they go adventuring like how much noise you're making with a satchel full of gold um but i was like
00:22:04
Speaker
thinking about the whole billionaires controlling everything situation. And I had like this weird little daydream while I was staring at my wall about um about like Like say you go to a town and they have to raise prices in their town because a dragon is hoarding all the gold because you keep giving this dragon gold so who doesn't burn your town. So there's less money going around. But one particular rich person who doesn't actually, he's not the mayor, but he's a dragon who tells the mayor what to do. You know, less money circulating because he's sitting on his hoard of gold. So then you go to a butcher and you say, butcher, I'd like two meats, please. And the butcher goes,
00:22:47
Speaker
ah fucking I don't know 10 copper and you're like what the fuck it used to be to copper what's going on here and then he finds out you have you're an adventure and you have fucking 500 gold how much is that to that that butcher who's like trying to maintain his livelihood because he has to jack up prices just to make his rent right so I was trying to think, like how does that translate? like Is one copper $1? The way that I was thinking of it was one copper is like $1, a silver piece is probably like $100, and then a gold piece is probably equal to $1,000. So if you're some adventurer who's walking around with 40 gold pieces in his pocket, you got $40,000 just floating around in your pants.
00:23:25
Speaker
That's the way that I was interpreting it, but I was curious what you think. I mean, i do have 40,000 just floating around in my pants, but it's not. Anyway, probably do. um So i think I think you go a little too far.
00:23:39
Speaker
i think a copper would be a dollar. i think a silver would be ten bucks, gold, a hundred platinum, a thousand. Oh, I forgot about platinum was a thing. But OK, so in that in how does it translate? Isn't it like a hundred copper?
00:23:55
Speaker
is one silver and 10 silver is one gold? Isn't that it? don't remember which is which. Some of them are 10 and some of them are 100. Right. Is it 10 to 10 to 10? I cannot be bothered to remember which. Or is it 20? I'm going to Google it right now.
00:24:13
Speaker
Yeah, so I always thought it was one ten, a hundred, a thousand. What the exchange rate of one Because it would be like, you know, a drink is like two bucks, you know, it's two copper. You want a room at the inn. Okay, well that's a silver, you know, that's ten bucks.
00:24:27
Speaker
Sits about, right? Say you own a home and every year... Oh, it's ten ten. Sorry. Ten to ten. Okay. It's one... or ten to one for everything. hundred copper is one Gold.
00:24:39
Speaker
So, yeah, I think you're probably right then. The the gold would probably be like $100. It makes sense because like maybe, you know, you own a house and it's each year it's 10 gold. So that's a thousand bucks you have to pay for your house.
00:24:50
Speaker
God, I wish. but back But in those economies, like, you know, think about like how much like the people in the Wild West made back in the 1800s, you know, like if they made maybe a hundred bucks in a year, that was fucking crazy. Yeah.
00:25:03
Speaker
Yeah. Right. Things were like 20 cents. If that. Because I think like an average salary for like a sheriff was like 40 bucks or something like that for a year. Yeah. ah so It's something like that. like um Don't quote me on that. But I know it's some sort of wildly low number that is just like, wow, that was a salary for the year.
00:25:23
Speaker
Yeah, so i'm I'm pretty sure it just goes up by denomination like that. one two Maybe it's just 10, 10, 10, 10. It might just be yes one. Yeah, 10 copper is tense is a silver. 10 silver is a... is it is this Is it the same for platinum too? Is it 10 gold? Yeah, I'm pretty sure it's 10 gold for platinum. How many gold is one platinum?
00:25:44
Speaker
Let's find out just to be sure. Clickety-clackety-clickety. uh one platinum piece is equal to 10 so yet i think when i first started in 3.5 it was 100 for one silver but yeah maybe they just made it 10 10 10 to make it easier for everybody um so that being said agree there is a you did raise a good point that like a lot of people when they play dnd sorry guys there's a dnd stream now uh will definitely overpay their adventurers because you yeah you should not and look i play a lot of dnd and it happens to us all the time where we're walking around with like 500 gold pieces in our pocket and it's like
00:26:24
Speaker
Uh, you know, I kind of feel like gold should be like, if you have 10 of it, that's a lot. Yeah.
00:26:32
Speaker
Absolutely. I should do a D&D campaign sometime where I'm like, you're not going to get a lot of money in this one. Save up if you want that health potion.
00:26:43
Speaker
Yeah, like, I think that's kind of I was just thinking about how yeah The dream came from me just recognizing this is going to sound a bit political, but it's actually more societal and social. But there was somebody on Fox News recently, some correspondent or guest, I can't remember, who essentially came out and said,
00:27:04
Speaker
hey, you know what? Only buy presents for people between the age of three and 18. Grandma doesn't need those slippers. Adults don't need presents. Only get stuff for the people that live in your home that are children. And it was essentially a portent to say, like, we know even though our administration says the economy is good, it's fucking not. Everything's more expensive. Plus, supply chain and tariff issues from earlier in the year are going to make things really unaffordable. So just pinch your pennies, even though those are being discontinued. And don't buy presents for people that aren't your kids or your loved ones. Essentially, you don't buy things for your wife or your husband or your partner, only for the kids. Adults don't need things. And it's just it was just just it's been stuck in my head. And somebody recently said like –
00:27:50
Speaker
yeah Adam, what's your problem with rich people? And it's like, it's not rich people. It's the ultra wealthy people I have a problem with. And the in the reason for, I was trying to think, how could I tell that story in an analogy of like a role-playing game or like a fictitious story that could be relatable, that could be understandable, I should say. And so I kept thinking about how how ah typically somebody who reaches billionaire status is not spending their wealth enough, putting it back into the economy. So then things have to go up when there's less money to go around, right Because you can't keep printing more money, just like you can't keep mining more money in the game, right? So so I was trying to think, like, what if there was a dragon?
00:28:31
Speaker
Like, in and he, you know, the small little yeah fucking dragon, shitty little village of maybe a hundred people or so. And this dragon's like, look, you have to find places to get money because I'm going to burn your fucking places down if you don't. And so, but, but the rest of the town doesn't know that they just think the the mayor or the governor is a real shit heel. They don't know that his strings are being pulled by the dragon.
00:28:58
Speaker
right So he has to hoard this wealth or jack up prices on things, right ah add tariffs or or raise prices or or you know do things that like make people have to give him more money into the pot of the government. And then he feeds it off into the dragon's lair and says, hey, Mr. Dragon, here's what I was able to get you. Please don't burn the house down. And he says, okay, I'm not going to do that. But also, I just want you to know that I overheard the butcher race recently saying how much he fucking hates dragons and lizards. So I'm going to need you to just like...
00:29:30
Speaker
have everybody hate that guy or make him have to take his prices up or maybe tell the rest of the people that his meat is tainted right and so because like if you don't i'm still gonna burn the house down or i'm gonna make you have to give me more money and so the dragon puts his thumb on the scale right because he's kind of in control of all the money and the wealth and he just likes shiny things he doesn't want to spend it he he has what he needs by sleeping on a bed of gold right So he doesn't put that money into the circulation of the little town, which means prices have to go up because when I used to be able to charge two bucks for meat, now there's less money going around. There's less wealth going back into the economy. I used to be able to sell five hams and then be able to make my rent. Now, if I can even sell one, that's a miracle. So I have to jack up the price of that ham. So that way I can make my rent in one or two sales because I'm not making them anymore because people don't have money and supplies are running out. Right. So I was trying to think, how could I tell that story? But then I was thinking the adventurers, how would they recognize that? Because then you get like it galvanized by like, I'm the hero. How dare you butcher? You must be the bad guy because you're making your prices really high. And the butcher's like, dude, like, I don't know what's going on, but life is just expensive and I got to make my rent. And they're like, you better lower your prices. And then he sees you tossing out like a gold coin or something to buy some meat. And he's like, motherfucker, how much gold do you have in your pocket right now? And you're like, no, I don't know. 40, 50, 60, 80, 100, whatever the fucking adventure would have. He's like, you could literally pay all of our rent right now with like five of those.
00:31:01
Speaker
Right. Like, what the fuck is your problem? Start buying everything here. You're the bad guys. You're trying to villainize me because I got to make my like try to make my shit. You know, people are ordering from Dragon Amazon because it's cheaper. No one wants to buy a local. I got to try to do something to compete with all that shit. And you're like, you're the bad guy. Fuck you.
00:31:21
Speaker
you know Meanwhile, the big corporations or the dragon is controlling all the prices, knowing they can make them lower, but because they want their CEO dragons to make even more money, the gold dragons, the red dragons, the black dragons all want to make extra profits this year and go on 16 more vacations. right Does that kind of make sense what I'm saying? But then like you have people who have money and it's like, well, I could try to do my best. And I'm not saying it's people who have some extra wealth responsibility to help the the society Right. like it's not somebody who makes maybe a million dollars a year versus somebody makes a billion dollars a year to save your economy but what i am saying is that when money doesn't go into the circulation we have problems and then you know then it becomes an us versus m thing where somebody who might have a little extra money looks like an asshole
00:32:10
Speaker
because maybe they ah they want to keep saving money by spending at the corporation level But also even poor people are buying from the corporations like Amazon because they can get it cheaper. So they don't support local stores. But then they say, aw man, they're closing my mall down. I used to love going there as a kid. But you also don't shop there. Right. And you think they're being greedy because they're changing their prices. But it's because they want to compete with Amazon Dragon.
00:32:32
Speaker
Right. So that just creates like a fight between people who don't need to be fighting when really we just have to have the fucking governor say, all right, guys, look, fucking here's what's happening. The dragon's blackmailing me and he's going to eat my wife and burn down the whole village or at least burn down my house and show all my naked pictures I took.
00:32:50
Speaker
you know, with ah with a halfling woman, you know, even though I said I hate them and I can't have that. So, but here's what's happening. The dragon's doing it. And it's like, hey, let's go fucking slay that dragon and get our money back.
00:33:02
Speaker
Right. That's the kind of story that I want to tell. So I was trying to think, how would I tell that in the scope of like coins to dollars, like in these worlds, right? I know I've been going for a hot minute, so I'm going to pause now. What are your thoughts so far?
00:33:16
Speaker
So, I really only have one question in in your analogy. Yeah. Can I be a cleric? Yes, absolutely. Awesome. Thank you. um I didn't know if I could tell that story without it being so overtly a lesson on, on you know, oligarchies. Well, look, he here's a simple way to talk about it. And I'm going to say this because...
00:33:42
Speaker
You were saying like, oh I'm trying to explain how this works to somebody. Here's a simple way to put it. All right.
Economic Inequality and Solutions
00:33:51
Speaker
You build a town next to a river, right? So you have your water, you have whatever you need to make your town.
00:34:01
Speaker
And suddenly the people upriver from you. start polluting the water. Water's no good now. ah So you go to those people and you say, hey, stop polluting the water. And they're like, you know what?
00:34:14
Speaker
Fair enough. We will stop polluting the water, but we want you to come and help us with our town. You say, you know what? Fair enough. So they ask you to cut down trees. They ask you to
00:34:27
Speaker
pile them up, and the next thing you know, the water in your river is shrinking and shrinking. So you go back up river to see what's going on, and they built the dam. So it's all piling up there, and they got all the water they could ever want, but very little trickles down, haha, to you.
00:34:46
Speaker
And they start saying, like, yeah, you have to come through us to get your water now, bitch. There you go. Yeah, so that's kind of where the deep words discussion came from. So I have no problem.
00:35:01
Speaker
I have no problem with some people making more than others. Absolutely not. um You know, some jobs are more important than others. Do I think unskilled labor label? Oh, my God. Do I think unskilled labor is a thing? No, I think every job requires some skill.
00:35:19
Speaker
Absolutely. People that say that there's unskilled labor just like feeling high and mighty over someone else. And you're an idiot. Right. They think unskilled means do they they think unskilled equals no degree or ah no degree equals unskilled. And that's just which doesn't even work anymore.
00:35:34
Speaker
That argument doesn't even work anymore. No, it does not. But it's because I've had this conversation with people all over the political spectrum before when I'm like, well, I think things need to be made a bit more even in this country. Right. It's no secret that the middle class is basically completely hollowed out.
00:35:55
Speaker
And people are like, what, so you think everybody should make the same amount? No, absolutely not. But.
00:36:04
Speaker
Jeff Bezos making 10,000 times more a minute than some of his workers make in a week. Is probably a problem.
00:36:15
Speaker
Yeah, that's crazy. lot of if people are saying that, um.
00:36:21
Speaker
I'm going to keep this short because I don't want to get into this too much on the show. But I know a lot of people like the idea of a ah
00:36:31
Speaker
minimum wage, right? They want to raise the minimum wage. And I personally, i i think it's a band-aid. I don't think that's going to fix the actual issue. What I think is actually needed in this country, but I doubt will ever happen, is an earnings differential cap.
00:36:48
Speaker
Nobody that works at a company can earn X times more than somebody else at that company. And earning means anything. Stock options, bonuses, pay, all of it.
00:37:03
Speaker
We'll use 10 times just for an example. If you are the CEO and you want to make a million dollars a year, fine. I have no problem with that. If your company is big enough that you can, go for it.
00:37:18
Speaker
But the entry level guy better be making 100,000. Because if you can afford to give yourself a million, you can you better be able to afford to give other people their good lives, too.
00:37:29
Speaker
I don't care if you're making 10 times more. Your job might be 10 times more important. It is not 10,000 times more important. I'm sorry. see but sometimes Right, but also sometimes the importance, like you you're like you're saying, is way too much, where you're like, oh, well, I worked my way up to this, or I started the business and got my way up to here, so I deserve this. and it's like, you can have whatever you deserve, but like you're saying, like if you think that people beneath you in the company deserve pittance compared to you, that is just not – Again, if you can afford to pay yourself a million dollars, there's no reason people below you can't be making more money than what they're making. That's just stupid. That's insane. That's absolutely insane to me. And it causes a feedback loop that we're seeing nowadays where –
00:38:14
Speaker
You see in the news all the time that, oh, you know, it was a big thing for millennials a couple of years ago. Right. Millennials are killing this industry. Millennials are killing that industry because this industry is dying. Right.
00:38:26
Speaker
Every company wants to pay their employees the least amount they can. But don't seem to figure out that that means nobody has money to buy their stuff.
00:38:37
Speaker
And yeah, they still are for now. It's getting worse. And eventually that whole bubble is going to pop. Yeah. Like eventually people are just not going to have enough money for even the barest frivolities. It's all going to spent on necessity. remember the game Monopoly? It's literally in the name, right? When you have somebody who's winning and they make all that extra money and they charge, they jack up the rent when they have more properties available and then you have to keep spending them money and there's only like three or four safe spaces you can go.
00:39:10
Speaker
right without having to owe somebody money all the fucking time it all goes to the same one or two people such as amazon microsoft like like just look at what the fuck is happening dude and the illusion of choice when you look at like how much money they truly are making because even when you go to the store shelves and it looks like you have 5 000 choices i bet your dollars of donuts that unless it's a local buyer or a local seller Most of those products are owned by the same three companies. They just call them different sub-companies to give you the illusion of choice. So like that's the issue. okay That's all I'm saying. It's like they control a lot of wealth, and they can let they could easily drop their prices. They could easily pay pay people more. Like you said, the Band-Aid situation.
00:39:54
Speaker
The system is very corrupt, and I know that sounds like a really – antifa sounding fucking thing to say but corruption is a is the only word for it there are people that are only feeding into their own interests and hearing other people's cry for helps but choose not to do it and i'll even say this for the billionaires out there it's not just the bezos's and the zuckerbergs of the world i'm talking the oprah's and the taylor swift's too like all of them there's no reason for anybody to have that much money
00:40:25
Speaker
and not put it into the economy. You are not spending it fast enough. You are not putting enough into the world to help make your community a better place. like I'm not saying it's up to one or two people to save the world, but those same people who have gotten to that status have taken advantage of poor people, have not paid them their share, have used, let's see, maladaptive practices to make their wealth, or they've inherited it without any work at all. And to put all that into perspective, they pay next to nothing in taxes on it. Meanwhile, taxes for lower class people are going up. And a fucking billionaire, they say, well, Jeff Bezos paid $100,000 in taxes last year. And that sounds like a lot of money until you realize how much money he's actually worth and how much of a pittance that is. Meanwhile, I'm getting jacked at 20% of my full taxes all year. That's not remotely 20% of his. And when you go higher up in wealth, you're supposed to pay more. It's not the fair share. So when you hear people on TV say, pay your fair share,
00:41:29
Speaker
They have all these ways they can escape paying, but but you see these numbers and you go, well, that seems like a reasonable number to you because that dwarfs your paycheck in a year. But to them, that's not the fair share. So we're technically paying more in taxes percentage-wise than the people who run the fucking world. That's stupid.
00:41:50
Speaker
Okay, so anyway, it' all that's to say, the system is fucked up and we should be, you know, I'm not mad at rich people. I'm mad at the hyper wealthy, the ultra wealthy, who decide that like, it's better to sit on their dragon's hoard of gold than to put it into the economy. I'm not saying you got donate to charity. I'm just saying put it into the economy. Buy shit. But it's all a competition on who can make the most versus I think it should be competition so you could keep it like prices right rules closest to a million without going or a billion without going over.
00:42:21
Speaker
Right? Spend your money as fast as you can to keep right below that billion dollar mark. That would be impressive as shit. Imagine how much better the world would be if it was all and a competition to not go over a billion dollars. I want to specify that this is not just individuals that I'm talking about. And I'm sure I'm not easy i'm talking about corporations. um Right. Well, because we ah people always name Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos. I don't.
00:42:47
Speaker
It's companies themselves as well. When you hear Starbucks, Target, Walmart, Walmart, when you hear company A is buying company B for $30 billion. dollars What was that $30 billion dollars doing for everyone before then?
00:43:05
Speaker
Nothing. They were just sitting on it, building it up so that they could pay one purchase. And let's be real, most of that money is going to be going to 10 people.
00:43:19
Speaker
You know, the stockholders and the major stockholders and the CEO. Right. Exactly. so it's like, yeah, that that's kind of where my head was at was just the economy needs to flow. And right now it's all damned up.
00:43:34
Speaker
The Microsoft's, the Apple's, the Amazon meta fucking, you know, Visa, Walmart, the ones that targets, you know, and and and fuck target because target's been like real taking a bad spiral because canceling DEI and everything. But anyway, the point is, it's just like,
00:43:53
Speaker
It could be run better. I'm not mad that people found a way to make wealth. And I know that sounds like because I get mad. The only time I ever get mad at people who are wealthy is when they think they can talk down to people who aren't. Then I get mad. well Even if you're not a billionaire, then I get mad at rich people when they just treat people who they think are beneath them as such. Then I get mad. don't like- Because it's like, I'm rich, so you should value my opinion more. Fuck you, dude.
00:44:18
Speaker
I also don't like people that, and there's and another argument I've heard all the time. Well, you know Jeff Bezos started Amazon from his garage. you know Anybody could do it. There is one thing Jeff Bezos did not have to contend with that makes it impossible nowadays to do that, and that's Jeff Bezos.
00:44:39
Speaker
There are so many stories I've read of companies where they start selling a product on Amazon or whatever. It starts to take off. Amazon makes their own version of the product.
00:44:50
Speaker
And because they're the person that, you know, they're the company that that distributes it. They're the platform you buy it from. They just stop showing the smaller company's version and just show their own.
00:45:03
Speaker
Right. yeah People don't realize like these roadblocks, that stop people from reaching this kind of wealth these days, unless they're scamming and rug pulling and NFT bullshitting, is the people that are there.
00:45:16
Speaker
You know, it's... Yeah, and some people are going to make it through the cracks. And if you do, I'm proud of you, man. a Good job. Especially if you didn't have to step on other people to get there.
00:45:28
Speaker
Amazing. But, you know, Jeff Bezos didn't have to deal with just Jeff Bezos. he got a free ride all the way to the top of the ladder without anybody up there crushing him down the ladder again.
00:45:44
Speaker
Exactly. All right. Anyway, I want to stop this. This is not a political show. If we wanted to one day, would absolutely be down to make a political show. I actually do love talking politics. To be fair, this isn't just political. It's just society structure. Yeah, that's true. like to keep the show a lighthearted. I didn't say anything about red versus blue, left versus right this whole time. It was all just money.
00:46:10
Speaker
It's all just science. let's be real. Red versus blue. We have our misunderstandings. ah It's really rich versus poor. It's rich versus them.
00:46:21
Speaker
Well, that's the problem. You can't see it like that. It's rich versus poor. It is not red versus blue. Right. I don't care what side of the aisle you're on. It's us against the rich. Right. Eat the rich. Right. Although they probably taste awful.
00:46:34
Speaker
They probably would. They probably taste like old stinky ketchup. um All right. Last thing I want to talk about before we go, which just I had another idea i was still thinking about
Creative Concepts of Hell and Heaven
00:46:43
Speaker
in a creative space. I do miss doing certain things, but I feel like I've given myself too many. I'm getting like a paralysis, but like I miss it. I do miss certain creative endeavors and I miss role players. And it's been a few months now that I was trying to think, like, do I have it in me to run a game or would it have to be semi monthly or monthly?
00:47:01
Speaker
I don't know, but I just, or maybe write my own story. I don't know what that looks like yet, but I was, I, this all comes from just like me trying to let my brain get bored because boredom is good for you. And I'm trying to be better about just sitting in silence and just let my mind wander. Cause I get some really fun ideas sometimes. And, um,
00:47:19
Speaker
Oh, that reminds me let me. Ask me someday to read you my notes app because I have so many random notes I don't remember writing of ideas I had. Your notes app probably sounds like somebody who was high. Dude, it's like fucking weird. There's one on there called, did I say this last episode? I can't remember. I think it was it was ah meat soup is something I wrote down. oh ah No, meat cereal. It was meat cereal. Oh,
00:47:47
Speaker
I don't know why I wrote that. Anyway, so I was thinking about how, you know, I was trying to like break the status quo of like a certain kind of storytelling. And I was thinking about hell. I don't know. I was thinking about demons. i think i was thinking about Carlack earlier from Ballersgate 3 because I saw the one gal who, Samantha Bear, doing like an awards thing. And thinking like, why are they always like associated with fire? Like i know they say hellfire and brimstone and blah, blah, blah, blah. And I think I was thinking about ah something going on in our current political climate. And I thought to myself, hell isn't hot enough for that kind of person. And I thought, but what if it would what if they like heat? what it Would cold be better? And so I thought to myself, maybe demons are hot because they're adapting to have to stay warm in hell, which has frozen over for eons. Maybe it was hot at one point.
00:48:39
Speaker
But now it's frozen, right? And so some have kept – or maybe it's always been a frozen tundra, and they just learn to engulf themselves in flames as like an an evolutionary thing to adapt to the cold. And so that's why they're always on fire. That's why i would say it will be a cold day in hell, and demons are like, yeah, every day in hell is cold, dude. Um, you know, so I just thought, what if they're surrounded by fire or they have hot skin or whatever that may be, or they're obsessed with flames and flame attacks, because that's how they just like light their candles at home, or that's how they start their fires. So that's how they keep their friends warm, or that's how they, you know, light up their towns because it's the only flame they have is the ones they can generate. Isn't that an interesting idea that hell is just cold all the time? And it's just, it's, it's essentially Russia, but with people on fire. Yeah.
00:49:28
Speaker
So Russia. Yeah. essential I mean, well, that is a thing. There is like depictions of a frozen wasteland version of hell. um Really?
00:49:39
Speaker
Yeah. Interesting. What's it called? Kokaitis or something? There's something called like Kokaitis.
00:49:48
Speaker
Did you say hepatitis? Yes. ah Yeah. The river of whaling in Greek mythology. It's a frozen lake in Dante's Inferno. So, you know, Dante's Inferno, there's the layers of hell. the Right, the circles of hell. circles of hell.
00:50:05
Speaker
And each one's a little different. And one of them is just a frozen wasteland, I believe. Or at least a frozen lake. At least a frozen lake. Where you have hang out in there because you're an idiot.
00:50:16
Speaker
Now, I have a philosophical, I guess, question for you. Or like a a religious question for you. Hate me. I'm the most religious person and you meet. Don't worry. This doesn't require actual knowledge. This is an opinion.
00:50:30
Speaker
Hey, listen. That's not religious knowledge I have. It's a religious feeling for am him. continue. Because I want to know. I want to know what you think, him. Yes. So, hell is... Let's say hell is just the thing you hate the most of all time. Okay? Yeah, yeah. So, you have arachnophobia. You're a dipshit in real life.
00:50:53
Speaker
You go down to hell and it's just spiders everywhere. Sure. Okay. So you're just a miserable sack of crap who hates anybody who's happy. Uh-huh.
00:51:04
Speaker
And you die. Misanthropic. Yes. And you die. You go to the pearly gates and Peter's sitting there and he's like, yeah, so there's no way in hell ha we're letting you into heaven.
00:51:21
Speaker
But... People being happy and like cheery, like in heaven, is what you hate most. Do you get into heaven because it's your hell?
00:51:34
Speaker
Or do they send you to hell even though... Heaven is what you hate most. Like that, the idea of just everybody being happy. and I think it's like they strap you into a chair and then make you watch videos of people that like you hated for being happy, continue to be happy while you're miserable.
00:51:53
Speaker
I think they just, I think they just have you watch like, here's all the people that you resented and the wonderful life that they're leading now that you're not in it anymore. Oh, yeah. like or now that you cannot interfere in it anymore there was no way heaven would be that they wouldn't be like oh we'll let you in here because everybody's happy here it's like no no no because you also get the amenities of the stuff like you get air conditioning and you get a nice bed and you get to swim in the pool at certain hours of the day it's like no no no you don't get to have the nice things just because you hate seeing happy people there's still a punishment for you and you know
00:52:27
Speaker
You have to go and watch somebody whose favorite job is scooping up cow shit. And like they're having a time of their fucking life. But every time they scoop it up, it just looks like your face because you are the cow shit. You're in the hole they dump it into.
00:52:41
Speaker
yeah Exactly. It's something like that. We're like, there's always some sort of twist, you know, like when you make a deal with a devil, there's always some sort of thing that he does to sway it in his favor, even though it sounds like a straightforward deal.
00:52:52
Speaker
yeah is There's always something like that where it's like well you're just going to watch people happy. and like well That doesn't sound so bad, but it's just people who are happy because you're dead and they just talk shit on you all the time. It's like, man, this dude, this tiny dick, tic-tac, dick having a penis face because his face looked like a penis.
00:53:09
Speaker
That's the biggest dick he ever had was his dumb face. I'm so happy he's dead now. And also his dog comes to me now. Like he, his dog is so much happier. He's wags his tail all the time. I adopted him because we found him trying to eat his owner in his house.
00:53:26
Speaker
It's shit like that. We're just like, they show you all the things that you thought would make you happy, but somebody else is happy with them instead because you didn't appreciate them then. That's what that is. And hopefully you'll learn a little something, something that way. If you ever get reincarnated, you get a better shot to be a better worm since you probably won't get to be a better person.
00:53:44
Speaker
Yeah. But, but would you still love me if I was a worm? Uh, if I knew that you were the worm, sure. Yeah. I mean, I try to not to kill anything, but if I know specifically, wait, is it either kill me or die? i'm sorry. Is it either love me or you kill me?
00:54:01
Speaker
No, but I'm just saying a lot of people when they see a creature like, ew, they throw it or they crush it or whatever. I don't think people really kill worms. They just like will throw them or something or they collect them for fish. But if you said – but if I – like I typically just leave worms alone anyway or if I find them on the sidewalk, I put them back in the dirt because they got lost or something. But like – But like, if I knew that was you, like I wouldn't treat you any like extra shitty if I didn't know it was you. But if I knew it was you, be like, ah, fuck, Danny. i what was I'd launch a full investigation, try to figure out, especially if you could still communicate. Even if it was just like leaving slime trails on the ground or something. i don't know how you'd talk to me, but if there's a way to do it. Why do you assume I'm slimy? Because most fruit worms are slimy.

00:54:51
Speaker

00:55:13
Speaker
Like a caterpillar, maybe without legs.
00:55:18
Speaker
Would you be furry? Are furry worms a thing? That's not a thing. Those are caterpillars with legs. That's just a caterpillar. I don't think there's such thing as a furry worm. I don't think that would really work. A worm with hair. Maybe I'll be like a tapeworm or something, and then we'll be together all the time.
00:55:33
Speaker
Yeah, because you could stick to things and hold stuff together because you're tape. Yep, that's where I was going. you're Oh, see, you're not slimy. You're sticky. You're a sticky worm. Yes, I'm not slimy. I'm satisfying. Yeah. Slammy, you're sticky.
