00:00:29
jesuisfatigue
yeah I literally had a dream last night and I was... And the reason you yelled at me is bonkers. Apparently...
00:00:41
jesuisfatigue
Because I just had to do a cologuard test for the first time my entire life. By the way, I don't have butt cancer. Or at least I don't have the markers for butt cancer.

00:00:53
Chris
Yeah.
00:00:59
jesuisfatigue
You know, more on better on him. But, in my journey...
00:01:02
Chris
So wait, you put it in a bucket.
00:01:05
jesuisfatigue
What'd you do? Take it in your hand?
00:01:07
Chris
I just, no, I just put it in an envelope and put it in the mail.
00:01:07
jesuisfatigue

00:01:28
Chris
Okay.
00:01:29
jesuisfatigue

00:01:47
Chris
I
00:01:55
Chris
and wonder if it's because you saw me yesterday have to use the constricting band off the ambulance as a modified belt.
00:02:02
jesuisfatigue
ah that's true. I should write you up for that.
00:02:04
Chris
You should.
00:02:04
jesuisfatigue
and just
00:02:04
Chris
Yes.
00:02:05
jesuisfatigue
You just steal city property.
00:02:07
Chris
It's technically hospital property.
00:02:07
jesuisfatigue
guess technically hospital property. yeah
00:02:10
Chris
Yeah. And I did tell the paramedic crew, I said, Hey, I've got one of your constricting bands.
00:02:17
jesuisfatigue
Oh, rant one of the day.
Frustrations with TSA Rules
00:02:19
Chris
oh
00:02:21
jesuisfatigue
and it even has to play with EMS. My brain is will always forever be broken, right? I can't i can't unfix the brain. So I'm going on a trip and
00:02:31
Chris
Yeah.
00:02:34
jesuisfatigue
We're going be hiking during said trip. So I don't like to go hiking.
00:02:36
Chris
Yeah. Like hiking hiking or urban hiking.
00:02:40
jesuisfatigue
No, like hiking, hike like like we have to take a class about bear protection and we have to take bear spray hiking.
00:02:41
Chris
Okay.
00:02:46
Chris
Holy crap.
00:02:47
jesuisfatigue
Yeah, so we're going, we're going hiking, hiking.
00:02:47
Chris
Wow. and Okay.
00:02:50
jesuisfatigue
And I don't like to go into the wilderness or hiking without a basic, I call it a survival. I don't like to call it a first aid kit anymore. I call it a survival kit.
00:03:02
Chris
Yeah.
00:03:04
jesuisfatigue
Because I think, yes, there's part of that.
00:03:05
Chris
That's because you're a Boy Scout at heart.
00:03:08
jesuisfatigue
But also, over the years of being a paramedic, going, lot of this shit is bullshit.
00:03:12
Chris
Mm-hmm.
00:03:14
jesuisfatigue
Like, i don't take but I don't take Band-Aids. I don't take, you know, comfort stuff. I take things that these are it will save your life.
00:03:19
Chris
Right.
00:03:20
jesuisfatigue
Like, I take a tourniquet. I take, you know, you know, 5x9s and 4x4s. And I take, the only thing I take is blister. ah take moleskin tape for blisters, you know.
00:03:30
Chris
Yeah.
00:03:32
jesuisfatigue
But, ah so I built up my little hiking. first aid kit and he's got to be light enough that you're going to carry it but i have to fly it to said trip right because i'm flying and i have to take it with me and i'm not checking a bag i'm just carrying on so i go on the tsa website obviously normally this kit would involve a
00:03:38
Chris
Right.
00:03:47
Chris
Yeah.
00:03:55
Chris
Hmm.
00:03:56
jesuisfatigue
a knife, right?
00:03:58
Chris
Yeah.
00:03:58
jesuisfatigue
Like i wouldn't go anywhere without a knife, but I'm going flying. So I can't have a knife, get it. It's fine. I'll leave the knife at home. I'm not happy about it, but it's, I'm doing that.
00:04:06
Chris
Yeah. Yeah. Does it allow you to bring a pot lid?
00:04:09
jesuisfatigue
And then
00:04:16
jesuisfatigue
don't tempt me, but
00:04:18
Chris
Hmm.
Packing Woes and Strategies
00:04:20
jesuisfatigue
so I can't bring a knife check.
00:04:21
Chris
Hmm.
00:04:22
jesuisfatigue
So then I, I say, okay, well I'm going to bring trauma shears. Trauma shears are pretty versatile, yeah pretty useful in a lot of survival situations.
00:04:28
Chris
Yeah. Yeah.
00:04:32
jesuisfatigue
So I go and I go on TSA's website and I, you know, first I Google, can you bring trauma shears on an airplane? I just get some answers. So I go to TSA's website and there's nothing specifically saying you can't take them.
00:04:40
Chris
Yeah.
00:04:44
jesuisfatigue
So then I text my friend who happens to be a TSA agent who is married to a supervising to a TSA agent.
00:04:50
Chris
Okay.
00:04:50
jesuisfatigue
And I said, hey, can I take these on an airplane? Well, they have to be rounded tips. Well, technically, trauma shears are rounded tips. They're not pointed tips, right?
00:05:00
Chris
Yeah. Right.
00:05:02
jesuisfatigue
So then I said, okay, well, that that's fine. And he says, then they have to have less than three inches from the fulcrum. said, okay, well, trauma shears are only 2.5 inches from the fulcrum.
00:05:09
Chris
Yeah.
00:05:11
jesuisfatigue
And his answer the end of that is, well, it's really up to the TSA agent. Good luck. And I was so fucking mad because that's not how it should work.
00:05:17
Chris
What?
00:05:19
Chris
Oh my gosh. No.
00:05:23
jesuisfatigue
This is the rule. This is what you can bring. You can't bring this. If you tell me I can't bring this and I bring that thing, I'm an idiot. But if you tell me, well, these are the rules and you follow the rules, but then just because Billy Bob has a day a bad day, you can't bring that thing?
00:05:32
Chris
Right.
00:05:37
Chris
Yeah.
00:05:40
Chris
Mm-hmm.
00:05:41
jesuisfatigue
That's not how it's supposed to work. It's ridiculous.
00:05:42
Chris
No. Yeah. Yeah, that is literally one of the times it should be black or white.
00:05:44
jesuisfatigue
Ridiculous.
00:05:47
Chris
There should be no gray. Hmm.
00:05:48
jesuisfatigue
Right. And my argument again is going to be, If there's a medical emergency on the plane, you're going to expect me to act. Correct?
00:05:57
Chris
Yeah.
00:05:58
jesuisfatigue
And you're going to take away the tools that I use to act.
00:06:02
Chris
Yeah.
00:06:02
jesuisfatigue
Right? and hey
00:06:03
Chris
Yeah.
00:06:04
jesuisfatigue
ah
00:06:05
Chris
Yeah, no, you're you're absolutely right.
00:06:06
jesuisfatigue
You know. those But I was so pissed off by his answer. I haven't talked to him since.
00:06:12
Chris
Yeah, that's...
00:06:15
jesuisfatigue
I was just pissed off. was like, this is bullshit.
00:06:18
Chris
Yeah.
00:06:19
jesuisfatigue
if If it's this... then that's how it goes. That means every TSA agent follows that rule.
00:06:23
Chris
Right, yeah.
00:06:26
jesuisfatigue
Not, it's his gut feeling. So I, I freaking, usually they go, I, I, I take my survival kits and I put them in a vacuum seal bag and I vacuum seal them up.
00:06:36
Chris
Yeah.
00:06:37
jesuisfatigue
So know, keep some waterproof and all in one space takes a little, well, so I was like, well, these fucking dicks are going to assholes.
00:06:39
Chris
Right. Yeah. Yeah.
00:06:44
jesuisfatigue
I'm going to, I just taped the trauma shears, the outside. And I guess if I go to the TSA and they take my shears, they're going to throw them away.
00:06:54
jesuisfatigue
But I'm going pissed off when they do.
00:06:55
Chris
Yeah.
00:06:57
jesuisfatigue
Yeah. It's very annoying.
00:06:58
Chris
yeah I don't. Yeah. And I like that their immediate thing is, yeah, we're just gonna throw it away.
00:07:04
jesuisfatigue
Right.
00:07:05
Chris
Oh,
00:07:05
jesuisfatigue
Right.
00:07:06
Chris
No, let me hear that. I got put it in a locker and I'll get it when I come back.
00:07:11
jesuisfatigue
Right. I'm coming back to this airport.
00:07:14
Chris
Hmm.
00:07:14
jesuisfatigue
Well, I should be like, take it over to my friend who, oh, that's her over there. She's a supervisor at your goddamn facility. You know, take it to her.
00:07:23
Chris
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. That's a, that's quite frustrating. Hmm.
00:07:29
jesuisfatigue
It's very frustrating. I think we have gotten to the point in America, and I'm only going speak for America, and maybe this isn't...
00:07:36
Chris
Yeah.
00:07:38
jesuisfatigue
We haven't reached the actual point yet. we We're getting close. They've just made air travel as inconvenient and annoying as possible.
00:07:44
Chris
Mm-hmm.
00:07:46
jesuisfatigue
Every part of it.
00:07:46
Chris
Well, I mean, i remember for a time, like even nail clippers, they were like, Nope.
00:07:52
jesuisfatigue
Right. Yeah. No nail clippers.
00:07:56
Chris
Hmm.
00:07:56
jesuisfatigue
When I flew out in... to vegas in 04 no it was like 05 um i had a pair of pliers they were they had no blade there was no blade on them at all it was a pair of pliers in my bag and i had just forgotten that they were in there and they took those i'm gonna take the plane apart what what the fuck do you think right but what the fuck you think it was a pair of pliers
00:08:03
Chris
Hmm.
00:08:06
Chris
Hmm.
00:08:09
Chris
Yeah.
00:08:13
Chris
Yeah.
00:08:19
Chris
Yeah. It's a thing that, well, they don't know if you're MacGyver.
00:08:28
Chris
Yeah.
00:08:28
jesuisfatigue
you
00:08:28
Chris
like Extract someone's tooth.
00:08:32
jesuisfatigue
And really the answer should to the knife problem should be everybody gets a knife.
00:08:33
Chris
Hmm. Hmm. Yeah. Yeah.
00:08:39
jesuisfatigue
It's bonkers.
00:08:42
Chris
Yeah.
00:08:44
jesuisfatigue
the The rules for the airport, like my wife and I have been reading the airlines rules every couple of months because they're like, are they changing the rules for carry on bags? Are they going to make us check this bag?
00:08:54
Chris
Hmm.
00:08:54
jesuisfatigue
we' We're measuring our fricking bags to be the exact size that they say it's allowed to be, you know,
00:08:57
Chris
Hmm. ah Yeah. Well, speaking of carry on where I'm not a traveler as much the last time i flew,
00:09:10
Chris
I, uh, everybody's like, yeah, we're just bringing carry on. So I thought that meant you just brought a carry on suitcase. So I packed everything into that. And they're like, where's your backpack? i was like, well, you said
Car Dependency and City Planning Issues
00:09:24
Chris
we're just doing carry on. They're like, yeah, you get a backpack and a carry on. was like,
00:09:31
jesuisfatigue
We bought, because we're bougie, and we splurged a little bit on this trip. You know, it's fine.
00:09:37
Chris
you should.
00:09:38
jesuisfatigue
And we'll use some of this, through but we bought carry-ons that convert into backpacks.
00:09:43
Chris
Ooh.
00:09:44
jesuisfatigue
So they're made by Osprey. They kind of look like hiking packs. They're not, they're definitely not hiking backpacks, but they are carry-ons that you convert into backpacks, because we're going to like walking around and
00:09:48
Chris
Okay.
00:09:51
Chris
Yeah.
00:09:56
jesuisfatigue
you know It's just going to be easier to have backpacks.
00:09:59
Chris
Yeah.
00:10:01
jesuisfatigue
But yes, you do get a backpack that you can take on top of that.
00:10:04
Chris
Yeah. yeah
00:10:05
jesuisfatigue
My wife and I have very different views on packing light. That's what I've learned.
00:10:11
Chris
yeah
00:10:12
jesuisfatigue
I came home yesterday and she, because on the way home, she's like, oh I'm done. I'm packed. said, oh, that's cool. Well, first off, she said she pre-packed, which to me meant she's pre-packing to figure out how much she's actually going pack.
00:10:25
Chris
yeah okay
00:10:26
jesuisfatigue
But she says she's done. And I walk in ah walk into the house and her carry-on bag looks perfectly acceptable. It's packed. It's the best way we can pack it.
00:10:38
jesuisfatigue
It looks good. Looks like the right size.
00:10:39
Chris
yeah
00:10:40
jesuisfatigue
And I look at her backpack. And this poor backpack is screaming out, kill me.
00:10:48
jesuisfatigue
um like, what is going on with your backpack? And she said she said to me, As I'm driving home, oh, I've got room in my backpack to buy like two to three books while we're and where while we're on the trip. I'm like, what size books are you going to put in this thing? It's bulging.
00:11:04
jesuisfatigue
and The zippers are breaking open. i said, what are you doing? She's like, well, those are the essentials I need to have with me. i'm like, your wallet, your keys, your passport, your book for the airplane.
00:11:16
Chris
Yeah.
00:11:17
jesuisfatigue
What else do you freaking need in your backpack? but you talk
00:11:23
Chris
Yeah.
00:11:24
jesuisfatigue
different she's like well i couldn't fit this in the suitcase i had to put this in this and i'm like okay we have different views on the world ah had to buy
00:11:31
Chris
Yeah. yeah Although I will say one thing when I pack for any kind of trip, I usually pack like double the amount of underwear I really need.
00:11:43
jesuisfatigue
sure
00:11:44
Chris
It's like, I think for some reason when I, you know, go on a trip, I'm going to um crap myself every day. i don't, I don't know what, why I do that.
00:11:53
jesuisfatigue
I always do give myself one security piece of underwear. Right? So, like, if I need six pairs underwear, I take seven.
00:11:59
Chris
Yeah.
00:12:02
jesuisfatigue
i don't know why.
00:12:02
Chris
Yeah.
00:12:03
jesuisfatigue
the same thing. I don't know. It's never happened. But I always do that.
00:12:06
Chris
Yeah. I probably think back to you saying, Oh, everybody, you know, if you average it out, everybody craps himself once a year.
00:12:14
jesuisfatigue
Sure.
00:12:16
jesuisfatigue
But, you know.
00:12:19
jesuisfatigue
we're packing is a nine day trip, but we can do laundry in the middle.
00:12:20
Chris
Yeah.
00:12:21
jesuisfatigue
So we're, I told her, i was like pack for five days and then, you know, we'll do laundry in the middle and we'll be fine.
00:12:22
Chris
Oh. Yeah.
00:12:29
Chris
Yeah, that gives you a day and a half buffer.
00:12:31
jesuisfatigue
Yeah. And we don't need to like, we don't have to have 38 outfits on vacation.
00:12:38
Chris
No.
00:12:38
jesuisfatigue
It's fine.
00:12:39
Chris
Yeah.
00:12:40
jesuisfatigue
She's like, she's like, well, what we're going, if we go to a fancy restaurant, we just won't more than likely.
00:12:44
Chris
Yeah.
00:12:46
jesuisfatigue
She's like, well, what if I get invited to the Crown Prince of Russia's
00:12:46
Chris
Right.
00:12:50
jesuisfatigue
It's not happening.
00:12:52
Chris
Well, then you have your credit card. You can buy something to wear.
00:12:55
jesuisfatigue
That's what I said. ah She was like, well, what if I forget to leave? like We're not going to, like, Antarctica. There's stores everywhere we're going. If there's an emergency that we need something, we can figure it out.
00:13:06
Chris
Yeah.
00:13:07
jesuisfatigue
We'll be fine.
00:13:08
Chris
yeah
00:13:09
jesuisfatigue
And my my mother, my mother is going on this trip.
00:13:13
Chris
Mm hmm.
00:13:14
jesuisfatigue
and talk about different packing strategies. She has two for herself, two full-size case suitcases, a carrier on a backpack that she's bringing.
00:13:24
Chris
Good God.
00:13:26
jesuisfatigue
I said, what are you doing? She's like, well, yeah you know, we got we're going to Alaska. need thermal underwear and thermal. This is it. It's, it's late spring. The average temperature of where we're going is 55 miles, 55 degrees. She's like, well, as i it's too cold. I'm wearing my freeze to death. I'm like,
00:13:45
Chris
That's that's not freezing.
00:13:47
jesuisfatigue
And I understand that I am the exception. I wear shorts all the time. But 55 degrees, put a hoodie on and shorts and you're fine.
00:13:57
Chris
Yeah.
00:13:57
jesuisfatigue
You know, I'm not swimming in the Bering Strait here.
00:13:57

00:14:20
Chris
Hmm.
00:14:22
jesuisfatigue
It's crazy. The things people think they need, it's bonkers.
00:14:26
Chris
Yeah. Yeah, I like the people are like, what do you think the weather will be like there? I don't know. Let's look it up. It's not like, you know, 40 years ago where you're like, oh, gosh, you know, maybe it'll be warm.
00:14:34
jesuisfatigue
Right.
00:14:40
Chris
Now you have a pretty good idea nowadays.
00:14:43
jesuisfatigue
You have a pretty good idea of you know, they're always wrong, but you have pretty good idea of what the averages look like, at least.
00:14:48
Chris
Yeah.
00:14:51
Chris
Yeah.
00:14:53
jesuisfatigue
It's just bonkers.
00:14:53
Chris
Hmm.
00:14:55
jesuisfatigue
Like, what if this happens?
00:14:56
Chris
Hmm.
00:14:57
jesuisfatigue
What if this happens? Well, I'll kill a caribou and I'll skin it. I don't know is for me.
00:15:05
Chris
ah
00:15:06
jesuisfatigue
it what for me
00:15:07
Chris
Yeah, but you won't have a weapon. How are you going to kill it with your bare hands?
00:15:10
jesuisfatigue
Well, with my trauma shears that I can convert into a machete.
00:15:14
Chris
Yeah.
00:15:18
jesuisfatigue
Yeah. I fooled you this whole time.
00:15:19
Chris
Oh

jesuisfatigue
These are actually machete.
00:15:22
Chris
oh my gosh.
00:15:25
jesuisfatigue
Yeah.
00:15:25
Chris
ah
00:15:28
jesuisfatigue
It's good times.
00:15:29
Chris
Hmm. Yeah. Yeah. Well, I, uh, started playing expedition 33.
00:15:36
jesuisfatigue
I saw that. And...
00:15:38
Chris
You saw, you saw that on discord. Okay.
00:15:41
jesuisfatigue
Yeah, Discord.
00:15:42
Chris
Yeah. i was like, wait, how'd you see that?
00:15:44
jesuisfatigue
um I'm checking you.
00:15:44
Chris
Yeah. i
00:15:45
jesuisfatigue
I have robots in your house right now.
00:15:45
Chris
yeah, that's, that's fine. Um, yeah, I, uh, I made it through the prologue. It is definitely a Chris ass game.
00:15:56
jesuisfatigue
Oh my god, it's the most Chris Haskey that's ever existed.
00:15:56
Chris
um
00:15:59
Chris
I suck at parrying. God.
00:16:03
jesuisfatigue
ah And there's no clues to when to parry.
00:16:05
Chris
Yeah, I like and I felt bad. I should take a video of it like I'm hitting the parry button way too fast, I guess, or whatever. My little guy, he's like, Perry. Oh, let's jump right into the swing.
00:16:16
jesuisfatigue
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, that happens a lot.
00:16:16
Chris
So yeah, yeah.
00:16:18
jesuisfatigue
Yeah. Yeah.
00:16:19
Chris
Like ah in the prologue where you can like practice against what's her name?
00:16:26
jesuisfatigue
Oh, uh.
00:16:26
Chris
Millet or whatever. Male, Malay, me Mila.
00:16:30
jesuisfatigue
Yeah, the girl. The little girl.
00:16:31
Chris
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:16:32
jesuisfatigue
Yeah.
00:16:32
Chris
I think I fought against her eight times before I finally...
00:16:36
jesuisfatigue
Oh, jeez. Wow.
00:16:40
Chris
Yeah. was like, well, maybe dodging is easier. It's a little bit easier, but no. Because then my little guy's just boogoo, boogoo, boogoo, boogoo.
00:16:46
jesuisfatigue
Yeah, you just do a little jump and then still get whacked.
00:16:48
Chris
Yeah, I'm like, ugh. Yep.
00:16:51
jesuisfatigue
Yeah.
00:16:51
Chris
Hmm. Yeah. But it when they do their little, like, ah what you call it, tutorial for it. It's like the enemy had like this flash before. I was like, oh, I'm going to look for this little flash or this little you like little yellow change in their strike. No, no, no.
00:17:08
jesuisfatigue
Yeah.
00:17:10
Chris
Yeah.
00:17:10
jesuisfatigue
Have you gotten to the one where you have to jump yet?
00:17:14
Chris
No.
00:17:16
jesuisfatigue
Okay, well then
Language Barriers in Emergencies
00:17:17
jesuisfatigue
disregard.
00:17:17
Chris
Yeah. I just got the chick.
00:17:22
jesuisfatigue
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, Luna.
00:17:22
Chris
Luna. Yep. I literally just got her. So.
00:17:26
jesuisfatigue
I'm assuming I'm gonna have to get rid of somebody at one point when when I go back to finishing this game.
00:17:30
Chris
Hmm.
00:17:31
jesuisfatigue
And I'm dropping Gustav first.
00:17:34
Chris
Yeah. Oh, that's Charlie Cox.
00:17:37
jesuisfatigue
I've heard that, but I don't care.
00:17:40
Chris
OK.
00:17:40
jesuisfatigue
He sucks. Not Charlie Cox, but Gustav. He's terrible.
00:17:43
Chris
Yeah.
00:17:43
jesuisfatigue
He does the least damage. I don't know what he's supposed to do for.
00:17:45
Chris
Yeah, I did notice that I was like, man, he's not doing much. Well, until you get his like. whatever it is, overcharge thing going and then, yeah, but that's a one and done.
00:17:55
jesuisfatigue
Yeah, and then if they're i tell you is if they're immune to overcharge, he really sucks against that enemy.
00:17:59
Chris
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. The Luna chick, she's seems to be pretty good because she's got the different elements.
00:18:02
jesuisfatigue
Yeah.
00:18:07
jesuisfatigue
hu Yep.
00:18:09
Chris
Crazy.
00:18:09
jesuisfatigue
Yep.
00:18:10
Chris
Although she's a crazy hippie, she's running around barefoot.
00:18:14
jesuisfatigue
the the The little girl's pretty good too.
00:18:14
Chris
So.
00:18:16
jesuisfatigue
When you get to her.
00:18:17
Chris
Yeah, I could see that.
00:18:19
jesuisfatigue
Yeah, once you get to her.
00:18:19
Chris
So.
00:18:22
Chris
but Maybe I should take it into work with me tomorrow so the ah Frenchman could help me.
00:18:22
jesuisfatigue
But it is the most crisp game.
00:18:30
jesuisfatigue
Yeah, don't they leave today?
00:18:32
Chris
Oh, do they?
00:18:33
jesuisfatigue
Did they leave tonight?
00:18:34
Chris
Okay.
00:18:35
jesuisfatigue
they were saying.
00:18:35
Chris
Nevermind.
00:18:37
jesuisfatigue
Yeah.
00:18:39
Chris
Yeah.
00:18:39
jesuisfatigue
Yes, the Frenchman was so impressed that I spoke some French to him.
00:18:42
Chris
Oh, yeah.
00:18:43
jesuisfatigue
And then he was happy to see me yesterday.
00:18:43
Chris
Yeah. Oh, I bet.
00:18:47
jesuisfatigue
But then it's very insulting because he goes right to the other Frenchman and they start having a conversation next to me to explain things in French.
00:18:47
Chris
What? Well, I.
00:18:53
Chris
Yeah. Yeah.
00:18:56
jesuisfatigue
And I'm like, I got two of those words.
00:18:58
Chris
Yeah. Well, it's like, yeah than you know, I see them in the morning, like, oh, bonjour. And they'll, you know, spout off something. And I just laugh. I'm like, you're hilarious.
00:19:09
Chris
Yeah.
00:19:09
jesuisfatigue
Yeah.
00:19:12
jesuisfatigue
Yeah, yeah, yeah. I had a whole talk yesterday with the driver on A-shift, and I was doing my French over. He's like, why do you do that? I'm like, because it just, it feels like you should know a language.
00:19:27
Chris
Yeah.
00:19:27
jesuisfatigue
It feels, I never feel more terrible as a person is when I don't know another language at all.
00:19:27
Chris
Yeah.
00:19:33
Chris
Right.
00:19:35
jesuisfatigue
I feel like I should do something. i you know if If somebody walks up to me and they say, I speak Portuguese, and I don't speak Portuguese, but I am fluent in at least two languages, I'd be happy.
00:19:37
Chris
Yeah.
00:19:44
jesuisfatigue
you know and i just...
00:19:44
Chris
Yeah.
00:19:46
jesuisfatigue
Yes. Yes.
00:19:48
Chris
Yeah. What's like I, my wife and I started watching the pit and the, was it, it might be the first episode where there's the Nepali. and them like trying to figure out what language she speaks and everything.
00:19:58
jesuisfatigue
yes
00:20:00
Chris
i'm like, oh gosh, yeah, that is like a horrible thing in yeah EMS and emergency medicine. Yeah,
00:20:06
jesuisfatigue
Yes. we the
00:20:08
Chris
they were.
00:20:09
jesuisfatigue
We had a couple during of the storm who were standing outside the apartment building that we got called to for an AFA. We get there, there's no alarms, the system's reset.
00:20:19
jesuisfatigue
So we have no... I mean, I was like, we don't know what the hell's going on. But they're just standing outside in the storm. I'm like, are they from this apartment?
00:20:24
Chris
short
00:20:25
jesuisfatigue
So I walk up to them and I'm like, are you from this apartment? They just look at me and I say... tu parles anglais?
00:20:33
Chris
know
00:20:33
jesuisfatigue
They're like, no. said, tu parles français? No.
00:20:37
Chris
sure
00:20:37
jesuisfatigue
Espanol? No.
00:20:38
Chris
yeah
00:20:38
jesuisfatigue
And I'm like, well, now we're screwed.
00:20:40
Chris
Hmm.
00:20:41
jesuisfatigue
Now we're in trouble.
00:20:43
Chris
Sprechen say Deutsch.
00:20:44
jesuisfatigue
It definitely didn't look like it's preconceived, but I guess that's me. You know,
00:20:49
Chris
yeah
00:20:52
jesuisfatigue
it was, it's fun.
00:20:52
Chris
Yeah.
00:20:55
jesuisfatigue
I still think back to that lady who had who spoke some form of Mongolian and the point that where the people in the language link were like, we don't know what this is, but it's some kind of Mongolian and we can't help you.
00:20:58
Chris
Hmm. Hmm.
00:21:08
Chris
Yeah.
00:21:09
jesuisfatigue
In the language people say, we can't help you.
00:21:09
Chris
um
00:21:11
jesuisfatigue
It's real bad.
00:21:13
Chris
Yeah.
00:21:15
jesuisfatigue
Yeah, yeah.
00:21:15
Chris
Do you think in the other countries they're like, yeah, they're speaking English, but this is like deep South. We can't help you.
00:21:21
jesuisfatigue
Yeah, yeah. they take like ah They take a Craig Evans and they're like, I don't know what the hell this guy's talking about.
00:21:25
Chris
Yeah, exactly. Oh my gosh. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. yeah And that's one thing I don't know with like Google translate or whatever, is there a way you can just like open it up and the person start talking and it try to figure out what they're speaking?
00:21:44
jesuisfatigue
I don't know.
00:21:45
Chris
Yeah.
00:21:47
jesuisfatigue
That's an interesting...
00:21:49
Chris
Yeah.
00:21:50
jesuisfatigue
question that I don't have an answer to.
00:21:52
Chris
Yeah.
00:21:55
Chris
Cause my luck, I'd be like, Oh, you know, like they did in the pit. Oh, where are you from? Show me on the map. And they like show Salisbury. I'm like,
00:22:04
Chris
it doesn't help.
00:22:07
jesuisfatigue
It does not help.
00:22:07
Chris
Yeah. We're like three episodes in and I'm like, wow, this is a yeah very much more realistic show.
00:22:15
jesuisfatigue
Yes.
00:22:16
Chris
Yeah.
00:22:17
jesuisfatigue
I would say the first five episodes are some of the most realistic emergency medicine stuff you're ever going to be able to see.
00:22:23
Chris
Yeah. yeah
00:22:27
jesuisfatigue
Yeah, because obviously there's some things you just can't, you can't ever show on television, I'm sure.
00:22:29
Chris
Yeah. yeah yeah Got that little fork fracture. was like, oh, I've seen one those in real life. It's not good.
00:22:36
jesuisfatigue
Yeah, not good. Yeah, no bueno.
00:22:41
Chris
Yeah.
00:22:41
jesuisfatigue
Yeah. They do a really good job with the medical side of it, is what I would say.
00:22:47
Chris
Yeah. Yeah.
00:22:50
jesuisfatigue
The, some of the, like, again, like the EMTs, if you see the paramedics or EMTs and they're dressed like they are, like, that doesn't happen to anymore.
00:22:57
Chris
Yeah, no, no.
00:23:01
jesuisfatigue
And usually the cops or the paramedics are hitting on the nurses. Come on. You're missing out on those.
00:23:04
Chris
Yeah. Yeah. yeah Yeah.
00:23:08
jesuisfatigue
That's, that's,
00:23:09
Chris
Well, like I saw that the one, the medic crew, their animals got stolen.
00:23:14
jesuisfatigue
yeah.
00:23:15
Chris
It's like one of one of the two people on that crew, one would be like, that means no more pick runs for us right now.
00:23:23
jesuisfatigue
Yeah, right.
00:23:24
Chris
And the other one is going to be the one having a fit going, oh my God, i'm going get fired. We got to call this in this and that. Yeah. But
00:23:32
jesuisfatigue
Yeah, what do want to be the EMS for meat and donuts going? Eh, I'm good.
00:23:35
Chris
Yeah, they did what?
00:23:36
jesuisfatigue
Yeah.
00:23:38
Chris
Yeah. The only reason they get upset was wait, did I get my charger out of
00:23:42
jesuisfatigue
Right, yeah. yeah ah man, I had a half drunk drink from Roller Farms in there, goddammit. My Alani Nu whatever the hell those people drink now.
00:23:54
Chris
Oh, gosh. Yeah.
00:23:58
jesuisfatigue
Damn kids and damn energy drinks. Yeah.
00:24:00
Chris
Yeah.
00:24:04
Chris
Well, you ready for a topic one?
00:24:04
jesuisfatigue
Well.
00:24:07
jesuisfatigue
Yeah, and it's starts with a rant.
00:24:11
Chris
Yes.
00:24:12
jesuisfatigue
Sort of. It's a small rant.
00:24:13
Chris
All the, okay.
00:24:14
jesuisfatigue
Small rant.
Pedestrian Safety and Traffic Law
00:24:16
jesuisfatigue
ah So i live in a part of my state i'm not gonna them whole states like this but a part of my state where they have made a conscious effort and the governor has talked about they've made a conscious effort to make it more pedestrian friendly by the way did you know that america is by far the worst country for pedestrian fatalities in the it's insane like and the numbers just keep going up not down okay anyways so
00:24:24
Chris
Yeah.
00:24:39
Chris
Oh, yeah.
00:24:42
Chris
Yeah.
00:24:45
Chris
Mm-hmm.
00:24:48
Chris
Well, it's because nobody uses a crosswalk.
00:24:51
jesuisfatigue
well so they have some of the people are talking about how cars are getting heavier in america and they're getting bigger with bigger blind spots and they're you know not teaching people to drive correctly and all of those things you know are really adding to this danger to professions but anyways
00:24:56
Chris
Yeah.
00:24:59
Chris
Mm-hmm.
00:25:02
Chris
Yeah.
00:25:06
Chris
Well, yeah. Yeah.
00:25:11
jesuisfatigue
So the governors, two or three governors at Delaware at this point have said, you know, we want to make it so that the area is more walkable because we we spent 50, 70 years, you know, making everything you have to go by car because there's no way to walk places.
00:25:28
jesuisfatigue
So they want to make things more pedestrian accessible.
00:25:28
Chris
Right. Yeah. Mm-hmm.
00:25:32
jesuisfatigue
So the road I live off of, the major artery that I live off of, has
00:25:37
Chris
Is that the one that goes by anal tech?
00:25:39
jesuisfatigue
It's 100%, which sadly no longer called Evil Tack, but 100% right down that road. And that road has a elevated pedestrian and bicycle walkway, right?
00:25:45
Chris
Hmm. Hmm.
00:25:51
Chris
Ooh.
00:25:52
jesuisfatigue
So it's separated from the roadway. It's got, it's probably a good six feet off the road. It's got a nice, you know, paved surface and it's elevated and away from the walkway, from the roadway, right?
00:26:04
Chris
Wow.
00:26:05
jesuisfatigue
And it goes, luckily it goes from town to,
00:26:06
Chris
Yeah.
00:26:10
jesuisfatigue
randomly stops in the middle of like a field but if you're going that way it's it's pretty cool so where do you think i saw an asshole and by the way that road is a 50 mile an hour zone right so you should not be you should be using the elevator walkway this morning where do you think i saw a guy walking against traffic this morning where do you think he was
00:26:18
Chris
Yeah.
00:26:25
Chris
Yeah. like Okay.
00:26:28
Chris
Yeah.
00:26:37
Chris
Oh, in the lane.
00:26:39
jesuisfatigue
In the fucking roadway.
00:26:41
Chris
Yeah.
00:26:41
jesuisfatigue
I'm like, you are, you can turn your head and see the elevated protected walkway for pedestrians.
00:26:41
Chris
Yeah.
00:26:48
jesuisfatigue
And you're in the goddamn road. What? i What decision making does that start? Like, I think of The road that Station 1 in Salisbury is on, right, Jamaica has no sidewalks.
00:27:02
Chris
Yeah.
00:27:05
jesuisfatigue
And people are forced to either walk in the grass, and then there are points when they can't walk in the grass anymore, and they have to walk in the road, which I think is super dangerous and it should not be like that.
00:27:06
Chris
Right.
00:27:09
Chris
Yeah.
00:27:13
Chris
Yeah.
00:27:15
jesuisfatigue
I think that's unacceptable that the city and county have allowed that to continue.
00:27:16
Chris
Right.
00:27:20
jesuisfatigue
Because by the way, there's a YMCA, daycare.
00:27:20
Chris
Yeah.
00:27:23
jesuisfatigue
It's a walkway to two high schools. you know it's It should have a freaking sidewalk.
00:27:27
Chris
Yeah.
00:27:31
Chris
Right.
00:27:31
jesuisfatigue
But what do you do when people are then not using the goddamn sidewalk? what
00:27:36
Chris
i Yeah.
00:27:39
jesuisfatigue
What part of your brain goes, I'm in a 50 mile an hour zone. These cars are going really fast. I'm just going to walk next to them.
00:27:46
Chris
I will say at least they were walking against traffic.
00:27:49
jesuisfatigue
They were walking against traffic.
00:27:50
Chris
So, but yeah, but yeah, not to use, well I see it most of the time when I go to work, when I turn onto Lake street, there is a sidewalk, there is a bike lane, and then there is the roadway and people walk in the roadway.
00:27:51
jesuisfatigue
I'll give him that.
00:28:04
jesuisfatigue
oh yeah.
00:28:06
jesuisfatigue
Mm-hmm.
00:28:12
Chris
It's like, I don't want you to, but at least walk in a damn bike lane, but no.
00:28:12
jesuisfatigue
Yep. Yep.
00:28:19
jesuisfatigue
Right, at least walk in the bike lane.
00:28:21
Chris
Yeah,
00:28:22
jesuisfatigue
That's something. Oh, well, this has nothing to do with the pedestrian side, but yesterday I'm coming home from work. and Look, I was maybe a little extra irritable on my drive home for reasons, right?
00:28:34
Chris
yeah I mean, yeah, you'd work 36 hours straight and going on 185 calls.
00:28:37
jesuisfatigue
But the bullshit meter...
00:28:41
jesuisfatigue
the bullshit meeper for people was very low last night driving home and this um the state redid one of our roads and they put it they fixed up the bridge and that bridge has a bike lane right it's clearly marked by clean it clearly has now it's not
00:28:56
Chris
Okay.
00:29:01
Chris
Mm-hmm.
00:29:04
jesuisfatigue
hard protected but it's got you know it's got soft barriers so it's separated from the roadway where do you think i saw a car driving yesterday in the good bike lane and so then of course i can see them as i'm approaching the bridge it and it's the bridges one lane in both directions
00:29:11
Chris
Yeah.
00:29:14
Chris
Oh, in the bike lane.
00:29:17
Chris
Yeah. Mm-hmm.
00:29:25
jesuisfatigue
And I could see them and they're in front of me and they're in the bike lane. I'm like, this fucking moron. And then they get in front of me and the bridge is 45 miles an hour. So they get out of the bike lane and they get into my lane. And then they do 20 miles an hour over the bridge.
00:29:38
Chris
Harpoon gun.
00:29:39
jesuisfatigue
i wanted I wanted to pit maneuver them off the bridge. It was so, so done.
00:29:43
Chris
Yeah. Yeah. I believe a jury of your peers would ah back you on that.
00:29:49
jesuisfatigue
I think they have to. but There's no way that anybody would find out me guilty because, oh my god, it was so bad. But yes, the pedestrian thing, ah you have to use the sidewalks.
00:30:03
jesuisfatigue
You have to use...
00:30:03
Chris
Yeah. Yeah.
00:30:05
jesuisfatigue
Just a perfect example. I caught myself like five times during the Station 1 parking lot debacle this last month.
00:30:13
Chris
Oh gosh, yeah.
00:30:13
jesuisfatigue
like because we had to cross to the road to get to our cars.
00:30:16
Chris
Right.
00:30:18
jesuisfatigue
And I was like, oh, I'll just cross it. And then I was like, that's the number one thing I bitch about. There's a crosswalk six feet from me.
00:30:26
Chris
Yep.
00:30:26
jesuisfatigue
I'll just go to the crosswalk. And I would stop and I would turn to the crosswalk and I would cross there.
00:30:31
Chris
Mm-hmm.
00:30:31
jesuisfatigue
Didn't help when the guys, when people would still run the lights at me, but you know, at least I would die in the crosswalk. You know, it's, I don't know how you fix that.
00:30:40
Chris
Yeah. Well, and that's the thing. I mean, the number of jaywalkers and it's like when they put up those, um the fencing all up and down coastal highway in Ocean City, and then they started to do it on 50 in Salisbury. And people are like, what about the pedestrians? It's like, well, if they use the crosswalk, they've got a clear way.
00:31:01
Chris
That's where where we are herding them to where they're supposed to be.
00:31:06
jesuisfatigue
There's a place they're supposed to cross.
00:31:06
Chris
God.
00:31:08
jesuisfatigue
That's where we want them to cross.
00:31:10
Chris
Yeah. Maybe if we chipped people and they tried to use something other than the crosswalk and they got a mild electric shock.
00:31:23
jesuisfatigue
Yeah, then all the firefighters who have to like take care of patients in the middle of roadways. God damn
00:31:27
Chris
Yeah. i they' Yeah. Yeah. yeah
00:31:33
jesuisfatigue
Well, we're having a
00:31:33
Chris
ah
00:31:36
jesuisfatigue
a heated debate in my town because Newark is a college town, right? we That's all the reason.
00:31:47
jesuisfatigue
At this point, the only reason the town exists is because the university.
00:31:51
Chris
Oh yeah.
00:31:51
jesuisfatigue
And recently we had a tragedy where two people stole a box truck and they fled from the police and they killed a graduate student and injured like nine people on Main Street.
00:32:01
jesuisfatigue
Because Main Street is a...
00:32:02
Chris
Oh gosh.
00:32:03
jesuisfatigue
And the pedestrians were in the right in this situation. They were crossing the crosswalk and this guy was looking for the police and hit the pedestrians.
00:32:07
Chris
Yeah. Hmm.
00:32:12
jesuisfatigue
But the street is... you know, i it's just restaurants and stores and it's, it's, it's main street and it's bars and it's, it's not a place.
00:32:23
Chris
Yeah.
00:32:25
jesuisfatigue
It's a place where people are going to cross constantly. and there are lots and lots of crosswalks on the street. And it's, you know, a very hard rule of you have to stop for pedestrians and but people still, so don't follow the rules.
00:32:29
Chris
Yeah.
00:32:33
Chris
Right.
00:32:36
Chris
Yeah.
00:32:36
jesuisfatigue
And it's, it's,
00:32:37
Chris
Well, mean, that's like New Hampshire. Pedestrians will walk in front of you.
00:32:40
jesuisfatigue
Oh yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
00:32:41
Chris
They don't care.
00:32:41
jesuisfatigue
Yeah. They don't care.
00:32:42
Chris
But...
00:32:43
jesuisfatigue
Yeah. But there's, this is the second tragedy they've had like this because last year, another person was fleeing the police, ran down main street, killed a pedestrian.
00:32:54
jesuisfatigue
So the conversation has been had to close the road to cars and I'm all about it.
00:32:54
Chris
Hmm.
00:33:01
Chris
Okay.
00:33:04
Chris
Yeah.
00:33:04
jesuisfatigue
I'm like, you know, hell yeah, close the road to cars. Cause the way the town works is there's two parallel roads to main street that you could divert traffic to that they can use that.
00:33:16
jesuisfatigue
And yeah, it's probably gonna fuck up traffic a little bit, but they won't be on main street and you'll keep pedestrian safe.
00:33:21
Chris
Yeah.
00:33:22
jesuisfatigue
The businesses will be happy. You know, all of those things, the fire department, the Newark fire department.
00:33:24
Chris
yeah
00:33:30
jesuisfatigue
Oh, we you we can't, we can't do anything. There's nothing can be done because we have to be able to respond to these calls. And I'm like, exactly.
00:33:37
Chris
What?
00:33:41
jesuisfatigue
Well, don't you think Newark fire department that you would respond to less calls of pedestrians getting run over if there were no cars for them to get run over? And yes, there would still be a way for the fire department to get through to the business addresses.
00:33:53
Chris
Hmm.
00:33:55
jesuisfatigue
We're not, no one's, no one's gonna be like we're going to put concrete walls up with barbed wire and minefields to stop the fire department.
00:34:02
Chris
Ah.
00:34:04
Chris
ah
00:34:05
jesuisfatigue
the fire department should be the ones going yes let us work with the partners and say come up with a safety plan you know right we should be endorsing pedestrian safety and how thought you know risk mitigation and prevention in our town that's our freaking duty that's our responsibility
00:34:09
Chris
Yes. Yeah. We endorse this.
00:34:15
Chris
Hmm. Yeah.
00:34:23
Chris
Wait. So the fire department should be focused on community risk reduction.
00:34:29
jesuisfatigue
at a certain level yes you're trying to bait me
00:34:31
Chris
Yeah.
00:34:33
jesuisfatigue
i not I'm not biting that hook.
00:34:36
Chris
But yeah, no, I agree. It's, uh, i don't know. but I think you and I have discussed this before. i mean, we are just a car driven society and it's, it's awful.
00:34:48
jesuisfatigue
Yeah.
00:34:50
Chris
Yeah.
00:34:50
jesuisfatigue
It is awful.
Critique of Car Culture in America
00:34:52
jesuisfatigue
It is awful. And it's... it's I don't want to get into the politics side of it.
00:35:00
Chris
Yeah.
00:35:00
jesuisfatigue
But it has become this like the identity to be an American. Like I have this conversation at at work all the time because people make fun of my car at work.
00:35:09
Chris
Yeah.
00:35:09
jesuisfatigue
Like, I can't believe you drive that. When I got my new car, one of the people on my shift said, I can't believe you got a smaller car.
00:35:13
Chris
Yeah.
00:35:16
jesuisfatigue
And my answer is, why wouldn't I get a smaller car? if
00:35:20
Chris
Yeah.
00:35:20
jesuisfatigue
If they made a single seat car,
00:35:21
Chris
Right.
00:35:24
jesuisfatigue
that was as fuel efficient as possible, that only had a trunk, like it had enough room in the back for me to put my stuff, I would buy that.
00:35:30
Chris
Yeah.
00:35:31
jesuisfatigue
Like, you know, what are you talking about?
00:35:31
Chris
yeah
00:35:35
jesuisfatigue
A car is a conveyance. It should be the most efficient conveyance from point A to point B, and that's it.
00:35:40
Chris
right
00:35:41
jesuisfatigue
You know, instead it's part of my identity to drive a big pickup truck and spend $38,000 in gas a year.
00:35:41
Chris
yeah
00:35:46
Chris
Yeah.
00:35:48
jesuisfatigue
i don't
00:35:49
Chris
yeah
00:35:50
jesuisfatigue
get it
00:35:51
Chris
yeah Yeah. Yeah.
00:35:54
jesuisfatigue
and the end of
00:35:54
Chris
What's like, I mean, I've told you before the people at work that, you know, are like, you're going to walk to like burn it white. I was like, it's a mile. So yes.
00:36:02
jesuisfatigue
Right. ya Now, I will say, because Salisbury is one of the towns that I'm talking about, it is not a walking-friendly town.
00:36:04
Chris
Yeah.
00:36:11
Chris
No.
00:36:11
jesuisfatigue
like There is no... great way to to walk around that town it is and like it's it's my problem with the bike lanes in salisbury is they were never laid out correctly like no the bike lanes should be a conveyance like this gets you from this area to this area safely instead it's this gets you from this block to this block and then you have to go on these other roads and then you get you from this block to this but like it was never right they never thought about a conveyance across it like there's
00:36:27
Chris
Yeah.
00:36:31
Chris
Right.
00:36:37
Chris
Yeah.
00:36:42
jesuisfatigue
There's no reason that the Riverwalk in Salisbury isn't a miles-long pedestrian walkway through the town.
00:36:49
Chris
Yeah. Right. Yeah.
00:36:51
jesuisfatigue
It should be.
00:36:52
Chris
Well, I mean, Remember, there was that talk of the bike path that was supposed to go from like Fruitland to north of Delmar.
00:36:59
jesuisfatigue
Yeah, yeah but yeah.
00:37:00
Chris
That died.
00:37:02
jesuisfatigue
Because look at how mad people got about the bike lane in Carroll Street.
00:37:09
Chris
Oh, yeah.
00:37:10
jesuisfatigue
And my argument against it was that it wasn't a well thought out bike lane, not that we shouldn't have a bike lane.
00:37:14
Chris
Right. Exactly. Yeah.
00:37:17
jesuisfatigue
It doesn't go anywhere, right?
00:37:18
Chris
Well, now you have a city leader that's I'm going to tear that down.
00:37:22
jesuisfatigue
Right.
00:37:22
Chris
It's like. that's they said ah I I don't see how that helps anyone, but okay.
00:37:28
jesuisfatigue
Yeah, I'm lucky and spoiled that Newark, because of the college and all of the foot traffic and the bike traffic that they've made
00:37:38
Chris
Yeah.
00:37:38
jesuisfatigue
strides towards making the tent but that should be the goal like you should you shouldn't be like i'm gonna drive to this to the restaurant that's five minutes from my house right i could just walk like i my mother we were talking about leaving for the trip on tuesday star wednesday and the hotel she got is like i don't know two blocks from the the port and she's like yeah i'm gonna rent a car or i'm gonna get an uber and we're gonna we're gonna go to the port in the morning i'm like it's two blocks
00:37:42
Chris
Yeah.
00:37:48
Chris
Right. Yeah.
00:38:05
Chris
What? Yeah. Yeah.
00:38:09
jesuisfatigue
if you didn't bring 38 fucking pieces of luggage, you could just walk there. What are you talking about?
00:38:13
Chris
yeah Right.
00:38:15
jesuisfatigue
Just walk. She's like, you can see the port from the from your the hotel, but it's a far couple blocks.
00:38:16
Chris
yeah Yeah.
00:38:21
jesuisfatigue
I'm like, it's a couple blocks. I'm just going to walk.
00:38:24
Chris
Yeah.
00:38:26
jesuisfatigue
it's it's It's bonkers.
00:38:28
Chris
Yeah.
00:38:30
jesuisfatigue
Yeah.
00:38:30
Chris
What's one thing I noticed to give your state props. I had had to go to Lewis, Lewis, le Lewis, Delaware.
00:38:36
jesuisfatigue
Yeah.
00:38:39
jesuisfatigue
Lewis.
00:38:42
Chris
And, um, yeah, but they were, there were new, um, which called it developments being put in, but they hadn't even started building houses yet, but they already had the walking paths paved and set out and laid.
00:38:49
jesuisfatigue
Mm-hmm.
00:38:55
jesuisfatigue
Mm-hmm.
00:38:57
Chris
I'm like, wow, they've, yeah, that's like step one. That's smart.
00:39:01
jesuisfatigue
And they're connecting them all.
00:39:03
Chris
Yeah.
00:39:03
jesuisfatigue
yeah they've got that uh bike lane that's going from lewis to georgetown and it's but three quarters of the way done right now and it's they're finished they're starting the finishing part right now it's amazing like my wife and i stayed there last year off the just a place that was right off the bike path we just biked into town all all week we never we never drove anywhere because you you could bike into town
00:39:03
Chris
Yeah.
00:39:15
Chris
Yeah.
00:39:26
Chris
Nice.
00:39:29
jesuisfatigue
we there's There's all kinds of little you know bike stations where you just lock your bike up.
00:39:34
Chris
Mm-hmm.
00:39:34
jesuisfatigue
And then we walked around town and we got our bikes, went the next place.
00:39:39
Chris
yeah
00:39:39
jesuisfatigue
It was awesome.
00:39:43
Chris
Yeah.
00:39:43
jesuisfatigue
That should be the goal.
00:39:43
Chris
You would think, yeah. Yeah.
00:39:46
jesuisfatigue
You know, because people bitch about traffic.
00:39:46
Chris
What's like, yeah. I mean, it's, you know, like my, uh, oldest goes to ah university of Maryland and, you know you talk about university of Delaware, you would think Salisbury, like around Salisbury university would be where the pedestrian stuff would start and merge out from there.
00:40:09
jesuisfatigue
I've always
00:40:09
Chris
And other, other than the underpass under 13, There's not anything really pedestrian friendly in that area.
00:40:17
jesuisfatigue
i've always thought that about Salisbury University, that it's so... Coming from Newark, where like businesses work very hard to attract the college kids and businesses lobby the city leaders to make it pedestrian-friendly for these college kids.
00:40:29
Chris
Right.
00:40:34
Chris
Yeah.
00:40:34
jesuisfatigue
the The thing they don't want is college kids driving everywhere, right? They don't want them having cars on campus and all that stuff.
00:40:37
Chris
Right.
00:40:40
jesuisfatigue
So business and like the university put shuttle buses in so they can actually go to the bars, you know, and to the restaurants, into the store.
00:40:50
Chris
Yeah.
00:40:50
jesuisfatigue
There's a shuttle bus from the university to the grocery store, you know.
00:40:50
Chris
Yeah. Yeah.
00:40:53
Chris
Mm-mm.
00:40:55
jesuisfatigue
that's a win for the grocery store, right?
00:40:57
Chris
Mm.
00:40:58
jesuisfatigue
Like that they, they think it's seemingly think it's good.
00:40:58
Chris
yeah yeah
00:41:03
jesuisfatigue
And then you go to Salisbury and it's like, I'm at the university and I, there's nothing here. There's just now slowly starting to be some restaurants, but they're all on 13 and they're not super accessible from the school, right?
00:41:09
Chris
yeah
00:41:14
Chris
yeah
00:41:17
jesuisfatigue
Like there's one walkway and it's all the way down one end of the campus, right?
00:41:22
Chris
yeah
00:41:22
jesuisfatigue
You can't go from the other side.
00:41:23
Chris
Oh yeah, because yeah the intersection of college and 13 has like one and a half crosswalks or ah yeah yeah marked crosswalks.
00:41:32
jesuisfatigue
Right.
00:41:34
Chris
It's like, but but how do we do, so we go over here and then we frog her to here.
00:41:39
jesuisfatigue
Right.
00:41:39
Chris
I don't...
00:41:40
jesuisfatigue
Yeah. Yeah.
00:41:42
Chris
Yeah.
00:41:43
jesuisfatigue
It's something that bugs me a lot about our country. You know?
00:41:49
Chris
Yeah.
00:41:50
jesuisfatigue
and I don't know that it's ever going It's not going to get better in my lifetime, but boy, it is something that...
00:41:53
Chris
Yeah. Yeah.
00:41:56
jesuisfatigue
You know? Like the governor of Delaware, the last governor of Delaware said... and I want you to be able to go from Glasgow and Newark are like two towns that they're not connected.
00:42:06
Chris
Is that where they invented the comma score?
00:42:06
jesuisfatigue
They're, you know, probably 10 miles away from each other. And his.
00:42:12
jesuisfatigue
Yes.
00:42:13
Chris
OK.
00:42:14
jesuisfatigue
And he, he said, I want you to, yeah, they invented it at the Glasgow medical aid unit. That is the, is place the place that drives us. So it says Newark EMS, but anyways,
00:42:25
jesuisfatigue
he he wanted He wanted to have a pedestrian walkway that goes from Glasgow to Newark and that never has to touch a road. And people were like, yeah, we're all about it. But in Salisbury, they'd be like, why the fuck would you ever do that? That's almost eight miles. i It's insane.
00:42:40
jesuisfatigue
you know
00:42:40
Chris
Yeah.
00:42:41
jesuisfatigue
Connect your towns and will keep your people safe and they'll use the walkways.
00:42:41
Chris
Yeah.
00:42:45
Chris
Right. yeah ah Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. What's like, I mean, I people complain all the time about parking downtown and, you know, stuff like that.
00:42:52
jesuisfatigue
Right.
00:42:53
Chris
it It kills me because like, so I, especially now go to quite a few meetings downtown and ah I would walk, but unfortunately sometimes I have to be ready to respond to a call.
00:43:00
jesuisfatigue
Mm-hmm.
00:43:06
Chris
So I do want my work vehicle somewhat near, but I, my usual route is I go and I drove, drive up the plaza. And if there's a parking spot anywhere there, ah park.
00:43:19
Chris
Then I go by the GOB if there's anything there. And then I go down main street. And it's like, yeah, if I can, yeah, if I'm within three blocks, I'm happy.
00:43:29
jesuisfatigue
Mm-hmm.
00:43:30
Chris
And then people are like, yeah, I circled around the GOB five times and I finally found one. to there's There's eight of them on the plaza.
00:43:41
Chris
ah
00:43:41
jesuisfatigue
Well, parking downtown Salisbury is...
00:43:47
jesuisfatigue
It's an issue.
00:43:48
Chris
Well, if I hadn't been in uniform the other day, I would have flattened somebody's tires.
00:43:48
jesuisfatigue
Yeah. Mm-hmm.
00:43:53
Chris
Because there's those spots in in front of the government office building that are back in only.
00:43:59
jesuisfatigue
Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.
00:43:59
Chris
And there were two cars nosed in. And one of them was nosed in and like double parked. I was like, oh my God, just let's flatten every single one of your damn tires.
00:44:09
jesuisfatigue
Don't you want to just retire from the fire department and just enforce parking? Doesn't that sound amazing?
00:44:14
Chris
Yes. Yes.
00:44:16
jesuisfatigue
like And I want to enforce it with Judge Dredge style but enforcement.
00:44:21
Chris
Oh, yeah.
00:44:21
jesuisfatigue
I don't want i don't want to like give tickets. I want to be like, you have been found guilty. The sentence is death.
00:44:26
Chris
Yeah.
00:44:28
jesuisfatigue
or Or where he blows up the car. It's your 10th ticket.
00:44:30
Chris
Mm-hmm. Yeah.
00:44:32
jesuisfatigue
I'm blowing up your car.
00:44:34
Chris
Yeah. Yeah.
00:44:35
jesuisfatigue
Yeah. There's a lady at my gym.
00:44:36
Chris
yeah first one First time, I'll give you a warning. But if I come to your vehicle and I see in the register that this is not your first time, you're either getting towed or destroyed.
00:44:50
jesuisfatigue
There's a lady at my gym who she has a handicap sticker. She parks in a handicap spot, but she parks in it incorrectly. So she, what she does is she parks, you know how they have the van accessible little area.
00:44:59
Chris
Hmm.
00:45:02
Chris
Yes.
00:45:03
jesuisfatigue
She parks in the van accessible area, which means that the person on the other side of them doesn't have the van accessible area for their handicap spot.
00:45:03
Chris
Yes. No, no.
00:45:11
Chris
hmm. Yeah.
00:45:12
jesuisfatigue
Also, you're going to the gym. Why are you... You don't need Whatever. But she does it every time, and it drives me getting daddy.
00:45:17
Chris
a
00:45:20
Chris
Yeah.
00:45:21
jesuisfatigue
She's from fucking Pennsylvania.
00:45:21
Chris
but That's the thing. I mean, yeah, see, and in something like that, it should be one of those. I see you ah parked in the van accessible. why You thought you were handicapped now. Just wait.
00:45:33
jesuisfatigue
Yeah.
00:45:35
Chris
Yeah.
00:45:36
jesuisfatigue
Yeah.
00:45:36
Chris
Yeah, it's. Yeah,
00:45:40
Chris
yeah I would gladly drive around. Yeah, in my little cart or whatever and or walk. I just walk it depending on the area.
00:45:48
jesuisfatigue
Yeah, I just walk it, I go right up to fire lanes, and I would blow up your car.
00:45:49
Chris
Yeah.
00:45:52
Chris
Mm hmm.
00:45:53
jesuisfatigue
I'm like, oh, we warned you, this is a car on fire lane.
00:45:53
Chris
Yeah.
00:45:58
Chris
yeah yeah yeah
00:45:59
jesuisfatigue
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. You get one warning. The fucking liquor store in front of my house, there's a neighborhood, or a shopping center in front house, and there's a liquor store in there, and they're on the terrible curve, and they get deliveries in the fire lane.
00:46:05
Chris
yeah
00:46:18
Chris
yeah
00:46:18
jesuisfatigue
Behind the building is a delivery alleyway, that which which there but their facility has a door to. Get your deliveries in the rear, goddammit.
00:46:30
Chris
Yeah. I, mm.
00:46:33
jesuisfatigue
Yeah.
00:46:36
Chris
Oh yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Or even maybe not start with maybe the second offense would be like, I bust out your driver's side window and then go to the windshield.
00:46:45
jesuisfatigue
It's fair.
00:46:48
jesuisfatigue
No, I just think ah we set your car on fire in a fire lane.
00:46:50
Chris
Yeah. Yeah.
00:46:52
jesuisfatigue
And if you're sitting in it, you better get the fuck out because your car's going to be on fire.
00:46:52
Chris
Hmm. Oh yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
00:46:56
jesuisfatigue
and That's my favorite. Well, I'm sitting in the car, so it's okay. Nope, it's still a fire lane. It's not ah' not for you.
00:47:03
Chris
ye
00:47:05
jesuisfatigue
Especially when you're six feet away from a spot, for God's sakes.
00:47:08
Chris
oh my gosh, yeah. I gotta go in and get my Little Caesars.
00:47:10
jesuisfatigue
Now, I...
00:47:13
jesuisfatigue
i Sometimes I see like an older gentleman picking up his wife in the fire lane. I understand that, right?
00:47:20
Chris
Yes.
00:47:20
jesuisfatigue
You're picking up your wife. She's got some mobility issues.
00:47:21
Chris
Yeah.
00:47:24
jesuisfatigue
Maybe we should come up with some sort of system for that. But then if we do that, people are just going to abuse it.
00:47:29
Chris
Yeah.
00:47:29
jesuisfatigue
You know? Yeah.
00:47:31
Chris
yeah yeah that ya yeah Yeah.
00:47:33
jesuisfatigue
Right over.
00:47:36
Chris
But yeah, pedestrians. And that's the thing. If we see pedestrians not utilizing the correct pedestrian routes, I believe we should be able to paintball them.
00:47:45
jesuisfatigue
Yes. Or at least taser them so that they flop around in the road little bit.
00:47:47
Chris
oh yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
00:47:48
jesuisfatigue
Yeah. Yeah.
00:47:50
Chris
yeah Yeah.
00:47:57
Chris
It's my wife.
00:47:57
jesuisfatigue
Yeah.
00:47:58
Chris
She'll stop me because I'm like, I want to yell at this person. She said, don't do it.
00:48:01
jesuisfatigue
Right.
00:48:01
Chris
Don't do it.
00:48:02
jesuisfatigue
Yeah. Yeah, yeah.
00:48:02
Chris
Like the other day. Oh, my God. She had to rein me in. We're walking through our neighborhood and there's a small child on a bicycle without a helmet.
00:48:15
jesuisfatigue
oh
00:48:17
Chris
15 feet behind the child is the parent carrying the helmet.
00:48:25
Chris
The rage that filled me.
00:48:25
jesuisfatigue
Nice.
00:48:29
Chris
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:48:29
jesuisfatigue
Justifiable rage. Justifiable rage. I'm on your side. That parent should be painful to death.
00:48:35
Chris
hu Yeah. Oh, yeah. Yeah.
00:48:38
jesuisfatigue
Death by painful.
00:48:39
Chris
Yeah. Yeah.
00:48:41
jesuisfatigue
Takes a while. It's painful.
00:48:44
Chris
If you freeze them, it doesn't.
00:48:48
jesuisfatigue
<unk> where That
Spider-Man: The Altruistic Hero
00:48:50
jesuisfatigue
shit hurts.
00:48:51
Chris
Yeah.
00:48:51
jesuisfatigue
I've been hit by a frostbite ball. That hurts.
00:48:55
jesuisfatigue
Well, ready to move on to topic two?
00:48:57
Chris
Sure. Topic two. So recently i watched. I got to get it right. the animated friendly neighborhood Spider-Man on Disney plus.
00:49:08
jesuisfatigue
Okay.
00:49:09
Chris
Yeah.
00:49:10
jesuisfatigue
Which you highly recommended.
00:49:10
Chris
And yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:49:11
jesuisfatigue
I haven't watched it.
00:49:12
Chris
But it just reignited in me. I mean, I, Spider-Man is probably the best Marvel hero.
00:49:21
Chris
He's just genuine. He cares about everybody. he,
00:49:28
jesuisfatigue
Oh, you mean best as in he's the best person.
00:49:31
Chris
yeah. Like, yeah, his, yeah. Yeah.
00:49:33
jesuisfatigue
Yeah.
00:49:33
Chris
person, his, you know, creed.
00:49:36
jesuisfatigue
Yeah, that's... and And I think if you run that out further, I would say he's probably, of DC and Marvel, the best person overall.
00:49:47
Chris
Yeah.
00:49:48
jesuisfatigue
Right? Like, and his lesson is...
00:49:49
Chris
Yeah. I, I, yeah. I mean, yeah.
00:49:51
jesuisfatigue
I mean, if you listen to Stan Lee's interviews, he loves stuer Spider-Man more than any other. you know, hero. No, yeah, Spider-Man is the best, right?
00:50:02
jesuisfatigue
His creed is the best.
00:50:02
Chris
yeah
00:50:04
jesuisfatigue
Great power comes great responsibility.
00:50:06
Chris
Yeah.
00:50:07
jesuisfatigue
Your neighborhood dreadly Spider-Man, like...
00:50:07
Chris
Yeah. yeah yeah Yeah. Like, yeah, I've got these powers. I have to use them for, you know, to help people.
00:50:15
jesuisfatigue
Right.
00:50:17
jesuisfatigue
Yeah, and and I don't know the comics well enough, but I'm sure they've tried it, but they never made Spider-Man bad.
00:50:18
Chris
Yeah.
00:50:27
Chris
I mean, if, well, for a little while with the whole,
00:50:30
jesuisfatigue
You had the Venom suit thing, right?
00:50:32
Chris
yeah But again, He realized how big a jerk he was being and fought it.
00:50:38
jesuisfatigue
Right.
00:50:40
Chris
Yeah.
00:50:41
jesuisfatigue
Right, like...
00:50:41
Chris
Yeah. I mean.
00:50:42
jesuisfatigue
Like, if Batman broke bad, you'd be like, yeah, that makes sense.
00:50:46
Chris
Cool. Yeah. Yeah.
00:50:49
jesuisfatigue
If Spider-Man breaks bad, you're like, no, this is...
00:50:49
Chris
Yeah.
00:50:51
jesuisfatigue
No, that you can't have this.
00:50:52
Chris
yeah yeah
00:50:55
jesuisfatigue
I think the comic book world and the fans would lose their shit if you made Spider-Man bad.
00:51:01
Chris
yeah yeah Yeah, i mean, he's just he's just a genuine he's a kid.
00:51:09
jesuisfatigue
You know, I really liked the Into the Spider-Verse.
00:51:17
Chris
Yeah.
00:51:17
jesuisfatigue
And one of the things I really liked about Into the Spider-Verse was I liked Peter Parker as an adult.
00:51:25
Chris
Yeah. Right. Yeah.
00:51:26
jesuisfatigue
I liked that concept of what that led to and that um Peter Parker had some issues, but he was still Peter Parker underneath all of that, which I thought was pretty cool.
00:51:32
Chris
right yeah
00:51:37
Chris
Yeah. yeah Yeah. Yeah.
00:51:44
jesuisfatigue
Like he still, still generally cared, even though the world had shit on him a lot, you know, which yeah, Spider-Man is definitely the best.
00:51:50
Chris
Right.
00:51:53
Chris
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Going out web slinging in his bathroom.
00:51:59
jesuisfatigue
yeah
00:51:59
Chris
Yeah. Well, it's like the run a comics right now. Spider-Man. I just did start reading. It's um ah bonkers, you know, cuckoo comic stuff, but there's some threat and Dr. Strange can't step up for it this time. So they pick or Strange picks Peter as Earth's champion because of, you know, his do good and everything.
00:52:29
Chris
So he gets some he gets like some of the strange powers or whatever. but And one of the things is he gets, i can't remember what they call it. But anyway, it it will bring him back to life if he dies.
00:52:41
Chris
Cause they know, and strange tells him me like, you're going to die with all eight of these fights. So at least this way you'll be brought back. and he And Pete's like, okay.
00:52:52
jesuisfatigue
Right. Yeah.
00:52:53
Chris
Yeah, just, okay, I'll do
00:52:53
jesuisfatigue
yeah
00:52:54
Chris
I'll step up. And like one of them was like psychological torture. And know, they've done this before, but the person was like, yeah, you know, if you hold this sphere, it will run you through the worst possible scenarios of everybody in your life and like losing them and everything like that.
00:53:17
Chris
And Pete got done and the two people were talking and it was, you know, oh, well, you know, how long did he last? And she said, you know, most people last maybe a hundred strange. The last time lasted a couple hundred. Okay. Yeah.
00:53:33
Chris
She's like, Parker lasted like thousands of times and he was still holding onto the ball when I stopped. Cause he just kept feeling that, you know, sadness. So other people didn't have to.
00:53:48
Chris
It's like, God, Pete is, you know, he's the best of us.
00:53:53
jesuisfatigue
Do you think we identify with Peter Parker because ultimately we became firefighters because we wanted to be heroes?
00:54:03
Chris
yeah
00:54:03
jesuisfatigue
Do you think the kind of person that we are is exemplified more in Peter Parker? like Or we want to be.
00:54:11
Chris
Oh yeah. Yeah.
00:54:12
jesuisfatigue
like I would say we not we are, we want to be.
00:54:14
Chris
Yeah. Yeah.
00:54:16
jesuisfatigue
like Because everybody who became a firefighter didn't become a firefighter because you're like, oh, I like getting up at 2 o'clock in the morning.
00:54:23
Chris
yeah I'm going to make millions of dollars and yeah.
00:54:23
jesuisfatigue
ah you Right. Everybody thought, I'm going to be a hero. I'm going to do heroic things.
00:54:30
Chris
Yeah.
00:54:31
jesuisfatigue
And to us, Peter Parker is that.
00:54:31
Chris
And and it yeah. Yeah. And it's the, I know a lot of us, it's the, I've seen how shitty things can be and I don't want somebody else to have to go through that.
00:54:44
Chris
So yeah, let me, you know, take care of you at two o'clock in the morning. Let me, you know, try to save part of your house, you know?
00:54:54
jesuisfatigue
I've always felt that's kind of my role in life is I see things so that other people don't have to, if that makes sense.
00:55:02
Chris
Yeah.
00:55:03
jesuisfatigue
And that feels very much our thing.
00:55:03
Chris
Oh yeah. Yep. Yeah.
00:55:06
Chris
Mm-hmm. Yeah. Yeah, I know I can struggle through it, so I'll do it so somebody else doesn't have to.
00:55:10
jesuisfatigue
So maybe that's why we love...
00:55:16
jesuisfatigue
Right, and maybe that's why we particularly love Spider-Man.
00:55:19
Chris
yeah. Yeah.
00:55:20
jesuisfatigue
He represents, to me, he's always represented that stuff.
00:55:24
Chris
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, just just be.
00:55:28
jesuisfatigue
It's also why they don't make a bad Spider-Man movie.
00:55:33
Chris
I don't know. Spider-Man three was pretty bad.
00:55:37
jesuisfatigue
Yeah, but Spider-Man 1 and 2 were great because it was just Spider-Man.
00:55:39
Chris
Oh, yeah. Yeah.
00:55:41
jesuisfatigue
Like, they weren't messing with the Spider-Man side of it.
00:55:43
Chris
Right.
00:55:46
Chris
Yeah. Yeah.
00:55:47
jesuisfatigue
Spider-Man 3 is bad because they messed with Spider-Man.
00:55:50
Chris
yeah Yeah.
00:55:54
jesuisfatigue
But it's easy to make a
00:55:54
Chris
Spider-Man's just the. Yeah. He's the lovable dork. that Yeah.
00:55:59
jesuisfatigue
Right, because you can make a bad Batman movie because fundamentally Batman has darkness.
00:56:04
Chris
Oh, yeah.
00:56:05
jesuisfatigue
And if you lean into the darkness, it's kind of a bad movie.
00:56:08
Chris
Yeah. Yeah. Well, I mean, that's a whole, you know, the the Batman Superman conversation, you know, deep down Superman's a good guy and deep down Batman's not a good guy. Whereas deep down Spider-Man is a really good guy.
00:56:24
Chris
Regardless, Spider-Man's just Peter's, you know, taking care of Aunt May and, you still going to school and doing everything he can.
00:56:36
jesuisfatigue
Right, there's a conversation that Peter Parker doesn't get bit by the spider, and he still does heroic things.
00:56:44
Chris
Yeah.
00:56:45
jesuisfatigue
Right?
00:56:46
Chris
Oh yeah. Yeah. I mean, he, yeah.
00:56:52
Chris
I would think Pete would still, yeah. Try to do something. Like I'm sure he would end up working at, you know, Oscore or something and, you know, developing things, doing, that's the thing, all the things he like works on and tinkers and it's, it's so he can better help people. It's not so he can better himself ever.
00:57:14
jesuisfatigue
Yeah. And, you know, he becomes a volunteer fireman because he doesn't become Spider-Man. Like there's that, that I think that's a fundamental part of Peter Parker is he's helping people, whether he has the power or, you know, it's great power comes great responsibility, but also little power still brings responsibility.
00:57:22
Chris
Yeah.
00:57:27
Chris
Yeah. yeah
00:57:35
jesuisfatigue
Right.
00:57:36
Chris
Yeah. So in the yeah earth eight to eight.
00:57:36
jesuisfatigue
That's,
00:57:39
Chris
Yeah. Pete's probably a volunteer firefighter or a paramedic or you know something.
00:57:43
jesuisfatigue
Right. Yeah. You know, he's doing something to help people no matter what.
00:57:47
Chris
Yeah.
00:57:49
jesuisfatigue
It's just part of his dynamic.
00:57:49
Chris
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So, yeah. So he would be probably the most altruistic hero.
00:57:57
jesuisfatigue
Yeah.
00:58:00
jesuisfatigue
I don't think there's even, in the Marvel side, I don't think anybody's even close.
00:58:04
Chris
Yeah.
00:58:05
jesuisfatigue
but Like, Strange only does it for his own personal gain.
00:58:11
Chris
Yeah.
00:58:12
jesuisfatigue
right He only becomes a hero because he has to
00:58:16
Chris
Yeah. I think. Hmm.
00:58:18
jesuisfatigue
Right? Reed Richards never really becomes hero.
00:58:23
Chris
Hmm. Yeah.
00:58:25
jesuisfatigue
There's a really interesting argument about Reed Richards is has no altruism. He has no humanity.
00:58:30
Chris
No. No.
00:58:31
jesuisfatigue
It's just he can do things that
00:58:32
Chris
He's... Yeah, he's just science.
00:58:34
jesuisfatigue
and he but he's driven to do the science.
00:58:36
Chris
It's just the science.
00:58:39
Chris
Hmm.
00:58:40
jesuisfatigue
Then you get to the X-Men and boy, that doesn't...
00:58:42
Chris
No. No, there's no altruism there.
00:58:43
jesuisfatigue
You have that. Right.
00:58:46
Chris
Yeah.
00:58:47
jesuisfatigue
You know.
00:58:47
Chris
And i mean I mean, Captain America, but he's... kind of blinded by his ideals.
00:58:54
jesuisfatigue
Right. He's a little closer than probably...
00:58:56
Chris
Yeah.
00:58:58
jesuisfatigue
But, you know, the thing about Captain America is he's a stereotype of himself.
00:59:03
Chris
Yeah. Yeah.
00:59:06
jesuisfatigue
I don't think you can say that about Peter Parker.
00:59:09
Chris
No.
00:59:11
jesuisfatigue
And then I, you know, Hulk, don't even get me started. You know, all of them, you feel like, oh, they had this thrust thrust upon them.
00:59:14
Chris
Yeah, no.
00:59:19
jesuisfatigue
Peter, you feel like, ah even if it's not the thrust upon him, he's still doing it.
00:59:20
Chris
Right.
00:59:25
Chris
Yeah.
00:59:26
jesuisfatigue
You know, I think that's kind of why he resonates with a lot of people. He's the everyday hero.
00:59:32
Chris
Yeah. Yeah.
00:59:37
Chris
yeah I mean, he's, you know, lighthearted when he is going through stuff and, know, he's also not just a, you know, punch harder, punch faster. It's yeah.
00:59:52
Chris
He thinks about things.
00:59:54
jesuisfatigue
Yeah, and I mean, got the coolest rogues gallery of all the enemies.
01:00:01
Chris
Yeah. Yep. And MJ.
01:00:04
jesuisfatigue
And MJ. And the other one, Gwen.
01:00:05
Chris
Yeah.
01:00:07
Chris
Black cat. Yeah. Gwen. who
01:00:10
jesuisfatigue
Yeah.
01:00:10
Chris
Yeah.
01:00:11
jesuisfatigue
We don't, you know.
01:00:13
Chris
Yeah.
01:00:14
jesuisfatigue
Yeah, I always, I mean, going back to even my comic collecting days, Spider-Man was always on the list of comics to collect.
01:00:17
Chris
Hmm.
01:00:20
Chris
Oh, yeah. Yep. Yeah.
01:00:24
jesuisfatigue
And every iteration of Spider-Man, it's still Spider-Man.
01:00:29
Chris
Yeah. Yep.
01:00:30
jesuisfatigue
Yeah.
01:00:33
jesuisfatigue
It's kind of interesting. never really thought about it like that, but it's...
01:00:36
Chris
Yeah.
01:00:37
jesuisfatigue
Because, like, everybody else they mess with.
01:00:41
Chris
Yeah.
01:00:41
jesuisfatigue
And maybe that's a Marvel, like, like there's like some secret document of you do don't mess with spider you know Spider-Man.
01:00:47
Chris
Yeah. Well, Stan Lee will come out of the grave and kill you.
01:00:51
jesuisfatigue
Right. Right. Right.
01:00:55
Chris
Yeah. Yeah. We're going to.
01:00:56
jesuisfatigue
Yeah.
01:00:56
Chris
Yeah. Oh, this Spider-Man, we're going to have him, you know, it's going to start out and he's going to be the one to kill Uncle Ben.
01:01:03
jesuisfatigue
right
01:01:04
Chris
Stanley, you just raises up. Yeah, the Lee Claw is here.
01:01:07
jesuisfatigue
yeah
01:01:09
Chris
you can't do that.
01:01:11
jesuisfatigue
yeah yeah it's uh it's kind of interesting to think about it that way like you don't ever think about what ultimately makes a superhero like the the ones you love the ones you love like you love batman yeah because he's cool and when we were kids like we were born in the perfect time for batman
01:01:27
Chris
Yeah.
01:01:32
Chris
Yeah.
01:01:36
Chris
Oh, yeah. Yeah.
01:01:37
jesuisfatigue
Right. ah You know, we had the movies, the Michael Keaton movies, which I don't care what you say.
01:01:41
Chris
Yep.
01:01:42
jesuisfatigue
They're badass. Right.
01:01:45
Chris
Hmm.
01:01:46
jesuisfatigue
You know, and then we had the animated show.
01:01:50
Chris
Yeah.
01:01:51
jesuisfatigue
We were the perfect, perfect time frame for the Batman.
01:01:52
Chris
Right.
01:01:55
Chris
Yeah.
01:01:55
jesuisfatigue
But if you ultimately broke it down, you'd be like, he's not really a good guy.
01:02:00
Chris
Oh, no, no. now
01:02:01
jesuisfatigue
You know, he's not... His ideals are not my ideals in any situation.
01:02:05
Chris
No. Yeah.
01:02:06
jesuisfatigue
um'm never... You know... I'm never... Gonna be Batman, I hope. Because I feel like...
01:02:13
Chris
Yeah.
01:02:13
jesuisfatigue
It's the same thing with the Punisher. i like I liked the Punisher comic books. But I'm never gonna be the Punisher.
01:02:16
Chris
Yeah. No, no, that's a sad existence.
01:02:17
jesuisfatigue
Right? Right. I think ultimately... ah You can't identify with Superman. Because he's... Basically a god.
01:02:28
Chris
Yeah. Yeah.
01:02:29
jesuisfatigue
Right? Like...
01:02:29
Chris
Yeah. He's not a man. He's not a man.
01:02:31
jesuisfatigue
Right, there's no there's no there's no altruism in Superman because he's impervious and invincible and he's basically a god, right?
01:02:38
Chris
yeah Yeah.
01:02:41
jesuisfatigue
There's no risk for him to do these things. It's nice that he does these things and if he ever did not do those things, it would be bad, but he's a, ultimately, there's no risk for him.
01:02:44
Chris
Right. Yeah.
01:02:48
Chris
Right.
01:02:50
Chris
Yeah. Yeah. Whereas somebody like Pete. Yeah. He could die anytime.
01:02:57
jesuisfatigue
Right. Yeah. he Ultimately, his quote unquote powers aren't that impressive. And they always are. It's kind of funny because, you know, when I think of s Spider-Man, i always think the most important Spider-Man of power is Spider-Sense.
01:03:11
Chris
Yeah.
01:03:11
jesuisfatigue
channel I don't think real spiders have, but, you know, you know, but he's got Spider-Sense.
01:03:14
Chris
No. No.
01:03:17
jesuisfatigue
And then in the movies, he still gets hit a lot.
01:03:19
Chris
Yeah.
01:03:20
jesuisfatigue
You know, it's like like the whole point is he can tell that this is dangerous.
01:03:21
Chris
yeah
01:03:25
Chris
Yeah.
01:03:26
jesuisfatigue
But he does it anyways.
01:03:27
Chris
Yeah. Was that they made fun of it in the most recent Marvel movie about it? Like, oh, you're Peter Tingle.
01:03:34
jesuisfatigue
Yeah. Right. yeah
01:03:37
Chris
But yeah.
01:03:37
jesuisfatigue
it's ah Yeah. i'm um I'm with you on that. Spider-Man is...
01:03:42
Chris
Yeah.
01:03:44
jesuisfatigue
And I'm sure somebody's going to be like, oh, well this character. and i'm like I just don't know the characters enough.
01:03:48
Chris
Yeah. yeah Yeah, I agree. Yeah.
01:03:51
jesuisfatigue
No.
01:03:51
Chris
