It is a blustery day to the point where my damn trash can blew down the street.
00:00:32
Chris
Yeah.
00:00:33
emailisslow?
Yeah, it's nice. It's okay because it met my neighbor's trash can who would also have moved into the street.
00:00:35
Chris

00:00:38
Chris
Oh, okay. Yeah.
00:00:39
emailisslow?
It's fun.
00:00:41
Chris
yeah Yeah, it was fun. Yeah. Like mid-morning. We're like, oh, you know, let's take the hounds out for a lap. We got like halfway through the neighborhood. I said, we're not making a second lap.
00:00:54
emailisslow?
We did that.
00:00:54
Chris
I mean, I had a knit cap on, gloves, coat. Nope.
00:00:59
emailisslow?
We had yesterday, the wife and I, we had the little park behind us and we're like, I usually walk two laps because it's a mile.
00:01:04
Chris
Yeah.
00:01:05
emailisslow?
We got through one mile. She's like, I'm so cold.
00:01:07
Chris
Mm-hmm.
00:01:07
emailisslow?
um you know I had my winter shorts on.
00:01:11
Chris
Okay. Are they like fleece lined? Okay.
00:01:15
emailisslow?
No, they're just the same shorts I wear in summer. but yeah
00:01:19
emailisslow?
But I was like, okay, it's fine. it's cold it's It's not that it's cold. It's just that it's so damn windy and my face is getting wind burnt.
00:01:24
Chris
Yeah.
00:01:28
Chris
Right. That's the thing. If it wasn't for the stupid wind that again, nobody wants.
00:01:34
Chris
God.
Wind: Friend or Foe?
00:01:35
emailisslow?
Nobody wants it.
00:01:36
Chris
There's not a single person that's, you know, again, I know I've said this multiple times on this podcast, but There's no one that wakes up and goes, yay, it's windy today, except for sailboat pilots and kite enthusiasts.
00:01:50
emailisslow?
Maybe the people that are doing so er wind farms, they might like it too. Oh.
00:01:54
Chris
Yeah, but I've heard that if it's too windy, that they have to shut them down. So, yeah.
00:02:00
emailisslow?
Well, it's been too windy in all of 2025.
00:02:04
Chris
Well, that no, it's because there's a maniac who... And then there's the little maniacs who are like, oh gosh, it's an eyesore. If you can see something 10 miles offshore, you've got eagle eyes.
00:02:15
emailisslow?
Right.
00:02:16
Chris
People are stupid.
00:02:18
emailisslow?
As they dump diesel fuel and into the ocean and yeah.
00:02:21
Chris
Yeah.
00:02:22
emailisslow?
Oh, I don't need this beer can anymore.
00:02:25
Chris
I gotta have the the white marlin out open.
00:02:25
emailisslow?
eight
00:02:31
emailisslow?
Which, they rarely ever catch a white marlin. Which says something, because they're always like, well, back in the day, we used to catch a lot of white marlins.
00:02:34
Chris
Right.
00:02:38
Chris
Hmm.
00:02:38
emailisslow?
hu
00:02:39
Chris
Let's ponder this.
00:02:39
emailisslow?
Huh. What do we think's going on here? Hmm.
00:02:46
emailisslow?
Maniacs.
00:02:47
Chris
Yeah.
Bathroom Woes: Hand Dryers vs. Paper Towels
00:02:50
emailisslow?
Yeah.
00:02:50
Chris
yeah
00:02:50
emailisslow?
Speaking of Blustery Wind, I have a rant about the most useless invention that's ever existed.
00:02:57
Chris
Not the windbreaker.
00:02:58
emailisslow?
It is not the windbreaker. It's the god damn hot air blower in the but men's bathrooms. They're useless. All they do, they you know, they're the hand dryer thing.
00:03:06
Chris
The hot air blower. you're talking about the stupid hand dryer thing? oh all that does is just spray water everywhere.
00:03:15
emailisslow?
yeah It gets water all over the floor and the walls and my hands come away moist.
00:03:18
Chris
Yeah.
00:03:20
emailisslow?
Who is this for?
00:03:20
Chris
Yeah. Inevitably, i am wiping my hands on my pants.
00:03:24
emailisslow?
Right! I could have just skipped a skit, gone up to a stranger, put my hands all over their clothes, and then moved on with my life.
00:03:31
Chris
Maybe that's what I'll start doing.
00:03:32
emailisslow?
Yeah.
00:03:33
Chris
That's simply just wait for somebody to come in and vroom, vroom.
00:03:37
emailisslow?
It's... It's terrible. They're terrible.
00:03:39
Chris
yeah no well i think i read somewhere that they actually like spread more germs
00:03:40
emailisslow?
They can't be good for anything. They're not energy... They can't be energy efficient.
00:03:49
emailisslow?
Of course they do. with They're blowing germs all over the place. They're literally, if you go by the one in my gym, you could see where the water spots underneath the damn things are. They're gross.
00:04:01
emailisslow?
Ugh. Yeah. And then you just come out and you're like, oh, God, I gotta wipe my hands.
00:04:03
Chris
yeah yeah uh-huh yeah Hand dryers spread bacteria through airborne dispersal, poor hand washing, and fecal matter.
00:04:14
emailisslow?
That's fun.
00:04:15
Chris
Yeah, paper towels are the best.
00:04:15
emailisslow?
That's fun.
00:04:18
emailisslow?
Yeah. and I mean, I understand like, that's not true. All paper towels except the ones the city of Salisbury buys are the best.
00:04:30
Chris
Come on now, those tissue papers are great.
00:04:34
emailisslow?
I challenge you to wash your hands in the city of Salisbury and use one paper towel.
00:04:40
Chris
There's no way.
00:04:41
emailisslow?
That's impossible.
00:04:43
Chris
No way whatsoever.
00:04:44
emailisslow?
First off, you'll never get one out of that dispenser.
00:04:47
Chris
Oh, yeah.
00:04:47
emailisslow?
Especially the one that's
00:04:47
Chris
well Well, it's because yeah they don't make that size paper towel anymore. So, yeah.
00:04:54
emailisslow?
Right. Yeah. So, i you'll never use just one of those things. Ever. They're terrible. We're just going to go back to the old school way of just having towels everywhere.
00:05:08
Chris
A towel? Yeah. Just issue everybody a towel.
00:05:12
emailisslow?
Yeah. Here's your towel for the day.
00:05:14
Chris
We could monogram them. Yes.
00:05:17
emailisslow?
That's true. That's true. It's
00:05:19
Chris
Yes. God. Yeah. See, like, we got a rookie coming on. All right. Here's your pants. Here's your t-shirts.
00:05:27
emailisslow?
your towel.
00:05:27
Chris
Here's your turnout gear. Here's your towel.
00:05:30
emailisslow?
It's fair.
00:05:33
emailisslow?
You know, there is nothing better in a hot summer day than wiping your face with a towel that's been sitting in the engine all day.
00:05:38
Chris
Oh, yeah.
00:05:39
emailisslow?
That's, you know, been used to wash cars and clean up spills around fire.
00:05:39
Chris
Yeah.
00:05:44
Chris
Yeah. i i mean, that waxy buildup on it doesn't... Yeah.
00:05:51
emailisslow?
The worst part is like when I go in the morning to like change out the towel that sits um in the spot by my... i'm always like, this one looks less dirty than this one.
00:05:56
Chris
Yeah.
00:06:00
emailisslow?
about this one my face?
00:06:00
Chris
Uh-oh.
00:06:06
emailisslow?
And some maniac at Station 1, who if I ever find out who it is, there will be a reckoning that has never been come with before. For the first... The last six years, we've had...
00:06:19
emailisslow?
One cupboard for shop towels, you know, like the cleaning engine towels, and one cupboard for bath towels, and some maniac has mixed them up.
00:06:22
Chris
Yeah.
00:06:30
emailisslow?
They're still piled up, but they're mixed up in between each other, and it drives me batty.
00:06:31
Chris
Why would you? Yeah. Yeah, that was always the thing on shift.
Morning Routines and Unexpected Calls
00:06:41
Chris
like You had to take a shower and you grab the quote unquote towels that we have at work and you have to grab three of them because they're you know hand towels yeah
00:06:53
emailisslow?
yeah we got a nice thousand station one now i'll give that thankfully but uh that's about all let's still keep them separated you know they don't need to be in the same
00:07:05
Chris
i can guarantee you at who whatever maniac did that at their house they have their towels separated
00:07:12
emailisslow?
of course they do like for
00:07:18
emailisslow?
why that My world doesn't even live where my towels get put away. My wife hate and hates it because we have towel racks. We have two towel racks. I wash the towels once a week and put them on towel rack.
00:07:28
Chris
okay yeah right
00:07:29
emailisslow?
I don't need to put them in the closet. If she washes the towels, they go into the closet and then I'm like, oh I need to take a shower. Fuck, I gotta go to the closet. And they're always buried in the back of the closet. It's
00:07:39
Chris
is this like some kind of weird torture yeah yeah wait what i well at least you realize it before you get in the shower yeah
00:07:43
emailisslow?
I don't know. We only have two towels each. It's not like that they have to stack up somewhere.
00:07:53
emailisslow?
Sometimes. Sometimes. Because I usually leave one on the back of the bathroom door.
00:08:00
Chris
Okay.
00:08:01
emailisslow?
Ready to go. you know I'm ready for emergencies.
00:08:04
Chris
Hmm. What kind of emergency is that?
00:08:05
emailisslow?
oh
00:08:10
emailisslow?
You never know.
00:08:11
Chris
Yeah, I guess so.
00:08:12
emailisslow?
I work in the fire department, man. You can't ever take a crap or shake a shower in peace.
00:08:17
Chris
Oh, God, that was always the worst.
00:08:21
emailisslow?
It's one of the worst things about my job.
00:08:23
Chris
Yeah, yeah.
00:08:26
emailisslow?
You have to take your crap before shift. And at 6.20 in the morning when I'm taking my you know morning deuce, if a call comes in, sorry, C-Shift, you didn't get relieved earlier today.
00:08:34
Chris

00:08:45
emailisslow?
Look, most days, you get up early. Some days, it's not going to happen.
00:08:54
Chris
I mean, that's just how the cards get dealt.
00:08:57
emailisslow?
It is. And nothing makes me need to take a morning poop like driving to work.
00:09:06
emailisslow?
don't know why.
00:09:06
Chris
Oh, yeah. ah See, if you went to work and you had a cup of coffee, that would really get it going.
00:09:14
emailisslow?
Yeah, thank God I don't drink that swill.
Family Memories and Fashion Faux Pas
00:09:21
emailisslow?
So did you have a successful yule?

00:12:30

emailisslow?
Meanwhile, I don't even know my neighbors' names.
00:13:25
Chris
Yeah.
00:13:27
Chris
We finally found out one of our neighbors last names because they dropped off Christmas cookies.
00:13:33
emailisslow?
Oh.
00:13:33
Chris
Yeah. Which they were not good.
00:13:36
emailisslow?
Oh.
00:13:36
Chris
Yeah. It was like part of the flour was like unbaked or something. I don't know. It just tasted weird.
00:13:43
emailisslow?
My...
00:13:43
Chris
Of course, I ate it on the way to like run an errand. So I've got a whole mouthful of cookie. I'm like.
00:13:51
emailisslow?
I had zero Christmas cookies this year.
00:13:54
Chris
Oh, that's sad.
00:13:55
emailisslow?
Eh, it's not.
00:13:56
Chris
Yeah. Okay.
00:13:57
emailisslow?
Well, it's not. I'm more than okay with it, you know, because I got the super, super, super pre-diabetes, according to our...
00:14:08
Chris
super super super pre-diabetes
00:14:13
Chris
oh golly day well no no that's the thing you have to eat the cookies so you get the pre-diabetes because you're too low what the
00:14:22
emailisslow?
Right, yeah, that's true.
00:14:25
Chris
right never heard of it. What? Yeah.
00:14:29
emailisslow?
It's
00:14:32
emailisslow?
okay. She also told me I needed to have a sleep study. We're talking about our work physical and the nurse practitioner said, oh, you need to have a sleep study. I said, well, I don't snore and I sleep like a baby. Just ask my wife.
00:14:47
emailisslow?
Well, you have a thick neck. I lift weights? That's the goal of lifting weights is to have a thick neck.
00:14:55
Chris
yeah
00:14:56
emailisslow?
You know, I do shoulder shrugs for a reason. Oh,
00:15:02
Chris
I yeah it's not you don't have a thick neck because of the eastern shore neck.
00:15:07
emailisslow?
and I also have a thick neck because i have the Whismur Waddle.
00:15:10
Chris
to whisper ah
00:15:16
Chris
The whismur waddle.
00:15:17
emailisslow?
Yeah, it's a thing. That's why all the whismers have beards.
00:15:22
Chris
wow Yeah. That's smart.
00:15:23
emailisslow?
And I'm the dumbass who chose a profession that couldn't wear a beard.
00:15:29
Chris
Two years.
00:15:31
emailisslow?
Two years and
00:15:34
emailisslow?
ten months?
00:15:37
emailisslow?
Is that right? Yeah.
00:15:38
Chris
Sure.
00:15:39
emailisslow?
Yeah.
00:15:42
emailisslow?
I'm just trying to figure out how I can check out a couple months early remember david c was like retired like eight months before he retired oh so it's got a fake ma fake have any fib
00:15:53
Chris
because he had a fib.
00:15:57
Chris
Yeah. He didn't fake it, but yeah. Because I clearly remember. we were downstairs at headquarters and we heard a thump and Runkles goes, but the fire chief fell out.
00:16:07
emailisslow?
oh wait passed out
00:16:14
Chris
And then Lorenzo came stomping down steps fire chief down fire chief down. We're oh shit.
00:16:22
Chris
Which it kills me because paramedic, why did you run downstairs?
00:16:25
emailisslow?
Great. Why don't you, you know, take care of him?
00:16:28
Chris
Because Knowing that, if he ran downstairs, he left the man in the care of Martha and Paula.
00:16:39
emailisslow?
That's fair. Yeah.
00:16:40
Chris
Oh, God.
00:16:45
emailisslow?
yeah I just, you know, just try figure out how I can just use up all my time at once and leave. You know, all the extra time I have.
00:16:56
Chris
Work a deal out with the city.
00:16:58
emailisslow?
Yeah! Hey! Just let me out early.
00:17:01
Chris
yeah or else I will burn this place to the ground.
00:17:07
emailisslow?
No, because they want that. Then the insurance kicks in.
00:17:11
Chris
Oh, no, no, I meant like, you know, about stories, you know, like on people burn them to the ground.
00:17:17
emailisslow?
I luckily don't have any of that. Oh, I'm sorry.
00:17:20
Chris
I can give you some.
00:17:20
emailisslow?
No. I've got blackmailed everybody. Don't come after me, people.
00:17:23
Chris
Yeah.
00:17:24

00:33:04
emailisslow?
Fjuerza Rijita.
00:33:07
Chris
I haven't heard.
00:33:08
emailisslow?
It's an American regional Mexican band formed in Santa Bernardino. Hmm. Hmm.
00:33:14
Chris
Yeah. Well, Irigit Singh, i mean, he's got his, you know, classic from 2021, Deshmere.
00:33:26
emailisslow?
Yeah, okay.
00:33:28
Chris
Yeah.
00:33:29
emailisslow?
I'm totally irrelevant because I couldn't, if
00:33:31
Chris
Uska He Banana is one of his songs.
00:33:34
emailisslow?
if one of those artists, two of those artists, I could maybe identify their songs if they came on the radio.
00:33:36
Chris
God.
00:33:38
Chris
Hmm.
00:33:40
emailisslow?
And sadly, it's Tay Tay and Billie Eilish.
00:33:43
Chris
Yeah.
00:33:44
emailisslow?
And it would have to be a very specific Tay Tay song for me to recognize it was Tay Tay.
00:33:48
Chris
Yeah. Yeah.
00:33:49
emailisslow?
Sad to say.
00:33:51
Chris
Yeah. Hmm.
00:33:54
emailisslow?
Pretty irrelevant. It gets worse.
00:33:56
Chris
Yeah. He sang two songs of Zid and three tracks of Holiday. What the hell does that mean?
00:34:03
emailisslow?
I still don't know. i even looked it up. I still don't know what playback artist means.
00:34:09
Chris
Playback singer. What?
00:34:13
Chris
The playback singer is a professional vocalist who records songs for films or TV, whose voice is then used while actors lip sync on the screen, make it seem like the actors are singing. Oh, so he does the work and they get the credit.
00:34:24
emailisslow?
least He's the guy behind Millie Vanilli.
00:34:28
Chris
Yes. Okay. Huh. He's a modern day and a ghost singer, not ghost writer.
00:34:37
emailisslow?
I guess, yeah, yeah.
00:34:38
Chris
Yeah. Yeah. ah Okay.
00:34:43
emailisslow?
All right, so now here's where it's real going to hurt because we're gamers, you and I.
00:34:45
Chris
Oh gosh.
00:34:49
Chris
Yeah. Yeah.
00:34:50
emailisslow?
We're weird gamers.
00:34:52
Chris
Oh gosh.
00:34:52
emailisslow?
So I Googled the top 25 user count games.
00:34:58
Chris
Okay.
00:34:59
emailisslow?
So this is number of players playing the game, not sales.
00:34:59
Chris
Hmm.
00:35:02
Chris
Yeah. Right.
00:35:05
emailisslow?
Number one, Counter-Strike 2.
00:35:08
Chris
Really? Counter-Strike still?
00:35:11
emailisslow?
Still have not played that game.
00:35:11
Chris
wow
00:35:17
emailisslow?
I was in college last time I played Counter-Strike.
00:35:19
Chris
That's amazing that that's still.
00:35:23
emailisslow?
Yeah. Number two is Minecraft still.
00:35:27
Chris
Really.
00:35:27
emailisslow?
type bo That game is at least 10 years old. It's probably 15 years old.
00:35:34
Chris
Oh yeah. It's gotta be.
00:35:36
emailisslow?
numbers Number three is Fortnite.
00:35:39
Chris
Yeah. Yeah.
00:35:40
emailisslow?
which seems crazy to me. That's also an older game at this point.
00:35:44
Chris
Yeah. But they keep like adding new modes and having. like these crazy seasons. Like I almost downloaded it because they did a Simpsons season and it was pretty much like, it looked like you were playing Simpsons hit and run.
00:35:59
emailisslow?
Oh, yeah.
00:36:00
Chris
Yeah.
00:36:00
emailisslow?
Nice.
00:36:01
Chris
So.
00:36:02
emailisslow?
Number four, which I hear is a problematic game, is Roblox.
00:36:06
Chris
Oh yeah. Yeah.
00:36:08
emailisslow?
Yeah, I hear some problematic things about that game.
00:36:09
Chris
Yeah. It can be. Yeah. Well, it's what it's very Minecraft D it's,
00:36:12
emailisslow?
Not the of the game. It's the people.
00:36:15
Chris
Yeah, oh yeah, it's the servers and things like that. so Yeah, it's one of those, like, you can do anything you want inside Roblox.
00:36:21
emailisslow?
so
00:36:24
Chris
Like, you make their games inside the game kind of thing.
00:36:29
emailisslow?
So far in the top 10 games of users, I've played zero.
00:36:33
Chris
Yeah, know.
00:36:34
emailisslow?

Chris

00:37:10
emailisslow?
Number eight is Repo, which I have played.
00:37:12

Chris
Huh. Yeah, that's, I didn't play any of them actually in this year.

00:39:25
Chris
Yeah.
00:39:26
emailisslow?

00:39:27
Chris
It's exactly like that.
00:39:29
emailisslow?
exactly like that game i was like i couldn't explain that better in any other way but yeah i did i i thought that that game would be more popular oh
00:39:34

00:40:29
emailisslow?
Hopefully they'll fix it.
00:40:36
emailisslow?
I'm not because I've never heard of those games, so.
00:40:39
Chris
yeah
00:40:42
emailisslow?
This is not games that are good. This is just games.
00:40:45
Chris
yeah yeah yeah oh yeah arc raider some surprise that wasn't on there yeah yeah yeah I had hopes for that but it just seems like it did more of three and that wasn't yeah yeah
00:40:47
emailisslow?
Oh, Oblivion Remastered came out this year, too.
00:40:54
emailisslow?
I probably have not enough time.

00:41:31
Chris
Yeah.
00:41:35
emailisslow?
Borderlands 4 was number 10.
00:41:35
Chris
Well, the, yeah, the sports games usually do because, know, I still don't understand why the sports games haven't gone to more of like a, like a battle pass kind of thing. It's like, yeah, you've got the game here.
00:41:47
emailisslow?
Yeah.
00:41:47
Chris
You know, if you want the new roster here, you you know, pay 20 bucks.
00:41:47
emailisslow?

00:41:53
emailisslow?
Yeah.
00:41:54
Chris

emailisslow?
Silksong from Holland Lake Silksong.
00:42:29
Chris
Yeah.
00:42:30
emailisslow?
Schedule 1, which looks dumb to me. Nothing else than Arc Raiders was on that list.
00:42:37
Chris
yeah
00:42:40
emailisslow?
Down in the lower numbers. Man, Claire Obscura did not do as well as I thought it would.
00:42:47
Chris
It's more of a console thing, I think.
00:42:49
emailisslow?
Doom the Dark Ages. I forgot Doom the Dark Ages even came out this year.
00:42:53
Chris
Oh, yeah, it did
00:42:54
emailisslow?
Yeah. Outer Worlds 2 came out this year.
00:43:01
emailisslow?
RuneScape Dragonwilds. I want try that game. I have not.
00:43:06
Chris
Is it like the old RuneScape?
00:43:09
emailisslow?
It's not. It's a four-person co-op.
00:43:11
Chris
and okay yeah mean yeah well i'm yeah i'm not playing anything new i'm playing destiny and cyberpunk
00:43:18
emailisslow?
different thing. What else came out this year that didn't play? I'm playing the same games over and over again.
00:43:37
emailisslow?
Yeah.
00:43:40
emailisslow?
Vampire the Masquerade Bloodlines 2? don't think I even didn't hear that.
00:43:45
Chris
I didn't know that was out.
00:43:45
emailisslow?
from Yeah.
00:43:50
emailisslow?
Killing Floor 3? Never heard of it.
00:43:54
Chris
Wow.
00:43:57
emailisslow?
You get down to these these games. Oh, Blueprints! That game was huge for a little while.
00:44:03
Chris
Oh, we yeah. Yeah.
00:44:06
emailisslow?
I played it. It's frustrating. Um...
00:44:14
emailisslow?
Yeah, I'm irrelevant. That's what I've learned out of all
00:44:21
emailisslow?
of this. That's why you and I complain about what's going on in the world, because nobody sells anything that we like.
00:44:27
Chris
Exactly.
00:44:28
emailisslow?
yeah
00:44:31
emailisslow?
Avowed came out this year. I didn't dislike that game.
00:44:37
Chris
That's the first person RPG.
00:44:37
emailisslow?
it but Yeah, it was the city...
00:44:40
Chris
Yeah.
00:44:42
emailisslow?
was pretty good.
00:44:43
Chris
Yeah.
00:44:43
emailisslow?
It was not worth... It's not repeatable, I would say.
00:44:47
Chris
Okay.
00:44:48
emailisslow?
But...
00:44:48
Chris
Yeah.
00:44:50
emailisslow?
It's fine.
00:44:52
Chris
I still can't believe that Bethesda didn't re-release either New Vegas or Fallout 4 with season two of Fallout coming out.
00:45:09
emailisslow?
Well, they're not going to do New Vegas... Because that's not DeFezda.
00:45:13
Chris
Oh yeah, that was, I can't remember their name, but yeah.
00:45:17
emailisslow?
Yeah. But you would think Fallout 4 Master's Edition would to come out.
00:45:21
Chris
Yeah. Yeah. Right.
00:45:27
Chris
I don't know.
00:45:29
emailisslow?
Bethesda's a weird company.
00:45:30
Chris
Yes. Yeah.
00:45:32
emailisslow?
It seems to have nothing to do with
00:45:32
Chris
Yeah, but I mean Elder Scrolls 6 is going to come out in the next 25 years.
00:45:41
emailisslow?
Is it?
00:45:42
Chris
I do know this, man.
00:45:43
emailisslow?
Who knows?
00:45:45
Chris
um But they're also working on Fallout 5. Sure you are.
00:45:48
emailisslow?
Right.
00:45:50
emailisslow?
And they have that ESO line online game, which was fine, but it's not Elder Scrolls.
00:45:55
Chris
Yeah.
00:45:58
Chris
Yeah.
00:45:59
emailisslow?
Yeah, fine.
00:46:00
Chris
Yeah.
00:46:03
emailisslow?
Well, folks, those are the year in review of things that we didn't play or see or watch or listen to.
00:46:07
Chris
Yeah. But we shook our fist at the wind.
00:46:13
emailisslow?
No, we did shake our face of the wind.
00:46:17
Chris
gosh. Hmm.
00:46:19
emailisslow?
Top of go two.
00:46:20
Chris
Sure. Topic two. um So with Destiny... having their full partnership with the Lucas this season.
Star Wars: Tragic Characters and the Jedi Order
00:46:32
Chris
It's always a good time to get back in the Star Wars. And I got thinking the other day, my daughter and I, we've watched, we're rewatching the movies. We've watched one and two so far. Who is the most tragic Star Wars character?
00:46:51
emailisslow?
Are we going just by movies and shows?
00:46:53
Chris
No, no, no. You can go buy everything.
00:46:56
emailisslow?
Oh.
00:46:56
Chris
Yeah.
00:47:01
emailisslow?
Well, the most tragic to me personally is Corrin Horn. And the tragedy is that he was relegated to Legends and never reappeared.
00:47:10
Chris
Ooh, yeah.
00:47:10
emailisslow?
Or also Wedge Antilles, because they did the same thing. He's in the movies, and then he has a huge arc in the books, and then they legend him.
00:47:15
Chris
Yeah.
00:47:20
Chris
Wedge. Yeah.
00:47:22
emailisslow?
ah But tragic in the normal meaning. Hmm.
00:47:24
Chris
Yeah.
00:47:29
emailisslow?
This is...
00:47:29
Chris
I say Obi-Wan.
00:47:31
emailisslow?
Oh, I have a... I have a worst answer.
00:47:34
Chris
okay
00:47:35
emailisslow?
Um...
00:47:38
emailisslow?
what is his name? Balen Skull? Balen...
00:47:43
emailisslow?
Yeah, Balen Skull. Man, I gotta write on this.
00:47:45
Chris
oh the one that the one that was up for chancellor oh oh oh okay yeah yeah yeah okay i got you yeah ah
00:47:51
emailisslow?
No, Balen Skull is the guy from Ashoka? The Fallen Jedi? Yeah. Because, like,
00:48:01
Chris
yeah
00:48:02
emailisslow?
he gets the obi-wan treatment but also is on the outside of everything and turns crazy i mean because he doesn't quite become a sith
00:48:09
Chris
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
00:48:15
Chris
No.
00:48:16
emailisslow?
and his whole world falls apart and he doesn't have anything left it's pretty bad
00:48:24
Chris
Yeah, I mean, Obi-Wan... thing with Obi-Wan, he did everything right.
00:48:32
emailisslow?
Did he do everything right?
00:48:34
Chris
He followed the code. He saw his mentor... slash dad figure cut down in front of him
00:48:43
emailisslow?
But couldn't you say that when he didn't confront Vader and he let Anakin become Anakin into Vader, he didn't do everything right?
00:48:55
Chris
he did confront him i mean he assumed he was gonna die he didn't think that anakin's hate would keep him alive
00:48:56
emailisslow?
Did he? Because he didn't kill him.
00:49:07
emailisslow?
The power of hate. But then...
00:49:08
Chris
well and i guess that's the thing though because mean i don't know if he had struck him down would that have been going against the code more know
00:49:17
emailisslow?
But then he doesn't raise Luke and and train him. And Luke ends up being a bumbling idiot.
00:49:26
Chris
this is a bumbling idiot yeah
00:49:28
emailisslow?
He's pretty much a bumbling idiot for the first two movies. you know could luke have used some training
00:49:37
Chris
But I thought in the actual, like in the books and more everything, Obi-Wan protected him a lot more than you' shown.
00:49:45
emailisslow?
sure he probably did protect him from the shadows but he didn't train him they dumped they dumped luke on this desert planet and obi-wan decides
00:49:51
Chris
Now.
00:49:56
Chris
Oh, I mean, between Luke and Leia, Luke got the shaft.
00:49:58
emailisslow?
he Definitely got the shaft. And they double on this as they're playing it. They basically deny him his birthright or whatever heck you want to say it is.
00:50:09
emailisslow?
And then they're just like, i don't know why this kid's screwed up.
00:50:09
Chris
yeah oh yeah yeah
00:50:14
emailisslow?
I'm not sure he did everything right. I think Yoda is actually the bad guy here.
00:50:22
Chris
well yeah because yoda definitely could tell things were going on on yeah
00:50:29
emailisslow?
Yeah, and he just fucks off to the swamps.
00:50:35
emailisslow?
Really, the tragic figure is Padme. She died of a broken heart.
00:50:39
Chris
Yeah, she did. Bless her heart.
00:50:45
Chris
Oh, gosh. Such waste of characters.
00:50:49
emailisslow?
Such a waste of characters.
00:50:51
Chris
Oh, God.
00:50:52
emailisslow?
Such a terrible story arc.
00:50:56
Chris
Hmm.
00:50:58
Chris
Yeah. Well, if you... I said we were re-watching the movies. Episode 2. Jar Jar Binks is the reason the Clone Army exists.
00:51:08
emailisslow?
Yeah. Yeah, Jar Jar.
00:51:10
Chris
because Padme goes running off with Anakin to hide at Naboo for a while and says, Jar Jar, fill in for me at the Senate.
00:51:20
Chris
Why? Why would you do that?
00:51:23
emailisslow?
Right. It feels like that's Padme's fault, not Jar Jar's fault.
00:51:26
Chris
Oh, well, yeah.
00:51:28
emailisslow?
You know.
00:51:29
Chris
Hmm.
00:51:29
emailisslow?
Kind of know that Jar Jar's not going to doing a good job there.
00:51:32
Chris
Yeah, yeah.
00:51:33
emailisslow?
He's, you know, basically a bowling idiot.
00:51:38
Chris
the most bumbling of idiots.
00:51:40
emailisslow?
Yeah, I mean, like, there's some weird characters in there who you're like, if they'd just done something, things would have been better.
00:51:48
Chris
Mm-hmm.
00:51:51
Chris
Yeah.
00:51:51
emailisslow?
Right? Like, Obi-Wan's doing nothing. And he lives this life of solitude and clearly was in love with, what's her name?
00:52:04
Chris
Oh, Bo-Katan's sister.
00:52:05
emailisslow?
Yeah, Bogdan's sister. wal I was going to say Bogdan's sister, but I didn't answer. What's her name, though? Oh, man.
00:52:11
Chris
Yeah, that's good.
00:52:13
emailisslow?
You know, clearly was in love with her. You know. And then he he, I guess the sad part is,
00:52:21
Chris
Satine Kries.
00:52:22
emailisslow?
Yes. she I guess the sad part is that he puts her aside for his code, then she dies, and then he continues to live the life by his code, and it it ends up being an empty and meaningless existence.
00:52:29
Chris
Dies. Mm-hmm.
00:52:37
Chris
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
00:52:38
emailisslow?
So I guess that's fair.
00:52:40
Chris
yeah either Yeah, definitely the played by the rules and got the shaft.
00:52:48
emailisslow?
Yeah.
00:52:51
emailisslow?
Yeah. But his master doesn't play by the rules. That's like the whole thing.
00:52:55
Chris
Yeah, yeah.
00:52:56
emailisslow?
Right? Like his master's...
00:52:56
Chris
Yeah, because Qui-Gon was always a little like telling the line.
00:53:02
emailisslow?
Yeah.
00:53:04
emailisslow?
And, you know, Qui-Gon clearly was the right answer for what the Jedi should have been compared to, yeah, more Grey than...
00:53:12
Chris
yeah more gray
00:53:17
emailisslow?
I think the worst character... is Mace Windu.
00:53:22
Chris
really yeah
00:53:23
emailisslow?
Yeah. He's the idiot of the whole Jedi Council. He gets fooled every step of the way.
00:53:30
Chris
that's true yeah well and he always downplays things yeah
00:53:34
emailisslow?
and like he's... Right, and he's supposed to be like this super badass Jedi who basically bumbles his way into the Jedi Order being destroyed.
00:53:44
Chris
yeah yeah yeah I never thought about that way yeah
00:53:51
emailisslow?
You would think of like your order exists basically to keep the Sith from going in power. Any rumor of Sith you would take super seriously.
00:53:59
Chris
exactly yeah not just that's it not that's it's a bit extinct no yeah yeah
00:54:04
emailisslow?
Right.
00:54:06
emailisslow?
Like your whole thing is that the Sith were a terrible empire. They just almost destroyed the galaxy and we're here to fight them. Oh, there's a Sith? Nah. Come on.
00:54:19
Chris
uh now fifth yeah yeah i drank one the other night
00:54:28
emailisslow?
But also one could argue that Darth Maul has a pretty terrible character arc.
00:54:34
Chris
oh yeah yeah yeah yes yeah yeah yeah
00:54:35
emailisslow?
He's pretty sad. To the point where he basically asks Obi-Wan to kill him. You know, death by cop. Obi-Wan style.
00:54:48
Chris
It was his hate that kept him alive for so long.
00:54:52
emailisslow?
Clearly.
00:54:53
Chris
And yeah, he was tortured.
00:54:54
emailisslow?
But his...
00:54:56
Chris
He was experimented on his brother.
00:55:03
Chris
Yeah.
00:55:04
emailisslow?
Yeah, it's just ah all bad.
00:55:09
emailisslow?
Ezra doesn't have a good arc, really. Well, I guess Ezra's not done.
00:55:13
Chris
Yeah. Well, um, ah Kane and Jarrus?
00:55:19
emailisslow?
Okay, and Jairus has a pretty sad arc.
00:55:21
Chris
God.
00:55:22
emailisslow?
You know,
00:55:26
emailisslow?
finally gets a kid and he dies immediately right after that. Speaking of that, where is his kid? Where's Hera and his kid?
00:55:37
Chris
That's a great question.
00:55:44
emailisslow?
clearly doing things in the asho show.
00:55:47
Chris
yeah yeah well he's in the ahsoka show yeah yeah yep jason yeah observ pa pa but papa ah strong connection to the force yeah that's all we really know
00:55:51
emailisslow?
So where's his kid? Yeah, so is his kid in the show? Oh, yeah, yes. Yes, he is. Yeah, yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
00:56:10
emailisslow?
Yeah.
00:56:13
emailisslow?
I would love for them to really explore like the Ashoka and Ezra, what those people do now.
00:56:21
Chris
Yeah.
00:56:26
emailisslow?
Thrawn's gone.
00:56:30
emailisslow?
And now what? Because
00:56:32
Chris
Yeah.
00:56:37
emailisslow?
Ashoka should do something.
00:56:39
Chris
Yeah.
00:56:41
emailisslow?
She's also got a pretty terrible arc. god
00:56:44
Chris
yeah It's not good to be a Jedi.
00:56:47
emailisslow?
It's not good to be a Jedi.
00:56:50
Chris
Yeah.
00:56:52
emailisslow?
I mean...
00:56:55
emailisslow?
yeah Luke has a terrible... well if we If we allow those movies to stand as a record, which I guess we have to Luke has a terrible character arc.
00:57:01
Chris
Oh my God.
00:57:06
Chris
No.
00:57:08
emailisslow?
Um...
00:57:09
Chris
Even without him though, like you said, I mean, look at all the stuff he missed out on.
00:57:14
emailisslow?
Yeah.
00:57:15
Chris
Yeah. The first 16 years of his life.
00:57:18
emailisslow?
Yeah, and then his the rest of his life is battle enforced solitude.
00:57:22
Chris
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Trying to piece things together on his own and yeah.
00:57:30
Chris
Yeah, and to find out that the chick you were, you know, hitting on is your sister.
00:57:34
emailisslow?
sure It's got to leave some deep emotional scars.
00:57:38
Chris
Yeah, yeah.
00:57:43
emailisslow?
Is there a Jedi that has a good arc?
00:57:49
emailisslow?
Well, the Jedi are fundamentally wrong.
00:57:51
Chris
Yeah, I mean, kidnapping kids when they're two and.
00:57:54
emailisslow?
Yeah. And trying to be half-assed Vulcans.
00:58:04
emailisslow?
Hmm. Hmm.
00:58:09
Chris
Yeah.
00:58:11
emailisslow?
I really liked...
00:58:13
Chris
I like this.
00:58:13
emailisslow?
lu
00:58:13
Chris
I searched, does any Jedi have a happy life? its It's how you interpret happiness. Here are some examples of contentment, because contentment really shows happiness for a Jedi.
00:58:29
Chris
Plo Koon? No, he was not. He got blasted out of the sky.
00:58:33
emailisslow?
Yeah.
00:58:34
Chris
oh my gosh.
00:58:35
emailisslow?
um
00:58:36
Chris
Hmm.
00:58:37
emailisslow?
I would say... ah I really liked Luke's life when, you know, in Legends when he had Mara Jade and a family.
00:58:47
Chris
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
00:58:51
emailisslow?
thought that was a much better existence than the one he got we got from him.
00:58:56
Chris
Mm-hmm.
00:59:07
emailisslow?
Who's the chick? Oh, you wouldn't even know. They're in Wraith's squadron together.
00:59:15
emailisslow?
Which is, again, still one of my favorite squadrons I never did. um She's a Force user. She ends up having an okay story arc, I guess.
00:59:28
Chris
I like that. Okay story arc. 66. Yeah.
00:59:32
emailisslow?
Well, because... it There's not going to be a jedi who's actual an actual Jedi who's happy. Because any Jedi that survives Order 66 is just living a terrible life after that.
00:59:41
Chris
sixty six
00:59:46
emailisslow?
Always on the high always on on the run. Also, why didn't the Jedi just fuck off to like the Chiss Empire? Why didn't they just leave? Why are they all sticking around the Empire? Isn't that weird?
00:59:59
Chris
Yeah, yeah Yeah, I mean, go far, far out in the outer rim. and
01:00:04
emailisslow?
Right, go to the Outer Rim, go to the Chisentire, go to wherever the the Empire is not. You know.
01:00:10
Chris
Yeah.
01:00:13
emailisslow?
Go to the Sith Homeworld.
01:00:14
Chris
Yeah, but there was that you know ingrained in them that, well, this is bad, so I got to stand up against it.
01:00:15
emailisslow?
kind
01:00:20
Chris
and
01:00:23
Chris
Yeah.
01:00:26
emailisslow?
Oh, what about, uh, what's his name? Um, from Jedi Survivor. Um,
01:00:34
Chris
Oh, Cal Kestis.
01:00:36
emailisslow?
Yeah, Calcastus.
01:00:38
Chris
I don't know if he's happy.
01:00:40
emailisslow?
He's not got it bad. He's got his little robot friend.
01:00:43
Chris
Yeah. Yeah. But again, watched his master get cut down.
01:00:46
emailisslow?
Yeah.
01:00:49
emailisslow?
Yeah.
01:00:50
Chris
Yeah. And then the guy who he thought was his buddy in the second one turns out to be, know, evil and tries to kill him. Yeah.
01:01:03
Chris
Yeah.
01:01:03
emailisslow?
yeah You know, can't all be great.
01:01:04
Chris
yeah no he's got the uh cute dothomir chick
01:01:06
emailisslow?
These guys are little robot buddy.
01:01:12
emailisslow?
Yeah, yeah. They're off doing things.
01:01:17
Chris
okay he found that um what you call it that uh planet yeah yeah yeah
01:01:24
emailisslow?
and they got the holocron and all that stuff. They they got things. Yeah. like go Look, see, we found one. It's not quite a Jedi.
01:01:30
Chris
yeah
01:01:35
Chris
yeah We don't know what happens to him in the third game.
01:01:38
emailisslow?
Well, it's true.
01:01:40
Chris
Yeah.
01:01:41
emailisslow?
It's true.
01:01:41
Chris
But yeah, it's just, yeah.
01:01:44
emailisslow?
Um...
01:01:47
Chris
And I get a lot of it is, I mean, that's how you tell a good story is, you know, tragedy in the character arc, but
01:01:56
emailisslow?
nice to see some of them have a good life.
01:01:58
Chris
yes. Yes.
01:02:00
emailisslow?
I guess Leia sort of had a good life until it all fell apart at the end there.
01:02:04
Chris
Yeah. ah Yeah.
01:02:05
emailisslow?
I guess that's not true either, because her husband like fucked off for ten years.
01:02:09
Chris
Well, yeah. That's true. That's true.
01:02:13
emailisslow?
yeah
01:02:14
Chris
Yeah. But she could fly.
01:02:17
emailisslow?
ah She could fly at the very, very last moment there.
01:02:20
Chris
and survive in deep space.
01:02:22
emailisslow?
Survive a deep space.
01:02:27
Chris
God, those movies.
01:02:31
Chris
So much potential.
01:02:32
emailisslow?
And again, these they stole her children away from her.
01:02:37
Chris
Yeah.
01:02:37
emailisslow?
In Legends, she had three children.
01:02:39
Chris
Right.
01:02:44
Chris
Hmm. Yeah. Cause J solo was one of them.
01:02:50
emailisslow?
the twins and Jace, right?
01:02:52
Chris
I think so. Yeah.
01:02:54
emailisslow?
Yeah.
01:02:55
Chris
Yeah. Because the twins were some of Luke's first apprentices.
01:03:01
emailisslow?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
01:03:02
Chris
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
01:03:05
emailisslow?
You know what's also weird? That they named their kid Ben in the the second story arc.
01:03:11
Chris
yes well because ben saved her yeah she did she met him no wait she never saw him well she does help me obi-wan you're only hope yeah bail
01:03:11
emailisslow?
Why would she name her kid after Ben? know She didn't know Ben Kenobi. Yeah. yeah
01:03:24
emailisslow?
Right. Why wouldn't she name her kid after, I don't know, her adopted father or someone else? Yeah, Bales. Plenty other people that she actually knew that could actually count.
01:03:36
Chris
yeah
01:03:37
emailisslow?
Yeah.
01:03:39
emailisslow?
I guess if we retcon back because in the show Obi-Wan meets her as a little girl.
01:03:46
Chris
Uh, yeah.
01:03:49
emailisslow?
guess we could go with that.
01:03:49
Chris
But...
01:03:50
emailisslow?
But she would know him as Ben.
01:03:50
Chris
kinda.
01:03:51
emailisslow?
She knew him as Obi-Wan.
01:03:52
Chris
No. Yeah.
01:03:54
emailisslow?
Yeah. Man, those movies are stupid.
01:03:55
Chris
There was a...
01:03:56
emailisslow?
God damn it.
01:03:56
Chris
Oh my gosh. Well, yeah. Oh, look, we found this ancient knife that matches up to how the Death Star crashed.
01:04:02
emailisslow?
Ugh, that night.
01:04:05
Chris
with the Get the fuck out of here.
01:04:07
emailisslow?
Yeah, yeah. They're
01:04:08
Chris
God. Hmm.
01:04:11
emailisslow?
bad movies.
01:04:11
Chris
They fly now?
01:04:17
Chris
Oh.
01:04:20
emailisslow?
They're rough. They're rough.
01:04:21
Chris
Just wipe them from existence.
01:04:23
emailisslow?
Just think about this. You're on episode two, you said?
01:04:27
Chris
Yeah, we're about to, we're going to, three is next.
01:04:30
emailisslow?
mean, you got a little way to go and then you got to watch seven, eight, nine.
01:04:34
Chris
I don't know if we have to.
01:04:36
emailisslow?
I feel like you have to. You're required.
01:04:38
Chris
I told her, I said, technically, since we finished two, now we have to watch all seven seasons of the Clone Wars.
01:04:44
emailisslow?
That's true. And Bad Batch.
01:04:48
Chris
Oh, and Babach, yeah.
01:04:51
emailisslow?
something to look forward to yeah what happened to Omega where are these people
01:04:52
Chris
Yeah. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, that's and what happened to Amiga.
01:05:01
Chris
That's what we need to do. Where are they now?
01:05:04
emailisslow?
yeah we need to we need to sit down with Dave Filoni be like yo where are these people yeah Dave just have us come in we'll you know design the next movie
01:05:07
Chris
Yeah.
01:05:09
Chris
Well, I mean, he's a listener of the show. So Dave, hit us up. We would love to have you on.
01:05:19
Chris
Oh my gosh.
01:05:22
emailisslow?
It'll do fine. still It's still a Star Wars movie. It'll do fine. Trust us. We're your only hope.
01:05:29
Chris
Did you I read somewhere. now It's probably not true, but Luke was so upset on the um set of episode eight that he kept referring to himself as Jake Skywalker. He's like, this isn't Luke. This must be Jake or somebody.
01:05:48
emailisslow?
Nice.
01:05:48
Chris
Yeah.
01:05:50
emailisslow?
I have heard that he that Mark Hamill was not happy with those movies.
01:05:55
Chris
Yeah. Yeah. why Why would you be?
01:05:59
emailisslow?
You wouldn't be.
01:06:01
Chris
Yeah.
01:06:02
emailisslow?
Yeah. The only one who was happy was Harrison Ford.
01:06:03
Chris
Yeah.
01:06:07
emailisslow?
And that's because he just didn't want to play the character anymore.
01:06:09
Chris
Exactly. Yeah.
01:06:10
emailisslow?
Which is totally fair.
01:06:12
Chris
Yeah. Yeah.
01:06:14
emailisslow?
and And even his part wasn't terrible.
01:06:19
Chris
No.
01:06:20
emailisslow?
that was fine.
01:06:22
Chris
Yeah.
01:06:22
emailisslow?
You know, I get it. And that would be the perfect thing to like push Ben over the edge and, you know, totally run into the Kylo Ren thing. What happened to the Knights of Ren? Where do those guys go?
01:06:33
Chris
Yeah, exactly.
01:06:36
emailisslow?
Who were they? What were they doing?
01:06:38
Chris
So in the comics, I think they try to pick back up after Kylo really Kylo's out. And yeah, they try to restart, I think.
01:06:54
Chris
Yeah.
01:06:58
Chris
But I mean, but again, it's
01:07:02
Chris
Kylo is such a... just
01:07:06
Chris
He's weak. He doesn't even... I mean, red the Knights of Ren. yeah It's not named after Kylo Ren. He stole that name from the guy who was the leader before him.
01:07:18
Chris
and
01:07:21
Chris
Thank God the Emperor a clone.
01:07:25
emailisslow?
Which...
01:07:26
Chris
Which, i mean, he did in the book, in the, you know, Legends...
01:07:28
emailisslow?
The books? Yeah. Yeah.
01:07:30
Chris
But it was done so much better.
01:07:31
emailisslow?
It was done so much better.
01:07:37
emailisslow?
They never really even...
01:07:38
Chris
And just Ray. Mary suing her way through life.
01:07:42
emailisslow?
They never really explained who... Was this Snoke?
01:07:46
Chris
Snoke.
01:07:47
emailisslow?
They never really explained who that guy was.
01:07:47
Chris
Yeah. Nope. Nope.
01:07:50
emailisslow?
Yeah.
01:07:51
Chris
Nope. It's Jar Jar.
01:07:54
emailisslow?
That's
01:07:55
Chris
Yeah.
01:07:57
emailisslow?
Such bad movies.
01:07:58
Chris
Yeah. yeah the tragedy is we had to yeah sit through them god yeah freaking wren johnson
01:08:04
emailisslow?
Yeah. That is the real tragedy.
01:08:11
emailisslow?
Maybe the worst character arc for anybody, like the saddest one, is
01:08:20
emailisslow?
what the hell's her name? God damn it. Felicity Jones.
01:08:24
Chris
felicity chats oh yeah m yeah
01:08:25
emailisslow?
Jynorso's dad.
01:08:28
emailisslow?
Yeah, he's got a tough life.
01:08:31
Chris
yeah
01:08:31
emailisslow?
They kill his wife. They drag him to work basically against his will on the Death Star.
01:08:36
Chris
yeah yeah yep he's responsible for how many deaths yeah yeah i mean no no
01:08:37
emailisslow?
He's got a rough one.
01:08:43
emailisslow?
Well, also, he's the reason that Death Star blew up. So, you know, something.
01:08:53
emailisslow?
But he's got pretty bad work. And it doesn't get redeemed. It's not like he's like, I get to see my you know daughter again. He sees her again and dies.
01:09:04
Chris
Yep.
01:09:07
Chris
Well, and then she dies shortly thereafter, so.
01:09:10
emailisslow?
ah Yeah, yeah. Well, that's what happens when things blow up around you.
01:09:14
Chris
Yeah. Yeah, man. So.
Conclusion and Hopes for the Future
01:09:20
Chris
Well, that was sad, folks.
01:09:22
emailisslow?
It was sad.
01:09:24
Chris
Yeah. Yeah, I'm going rack my brain for a happy Jedi.
