Podcast Introduction and Ron's Plumbing Woes
00:00:06
Chris
Welcome back to another episode of the Mythic Draft Podcast. I'm Chris.
00:00:10
whoneedsmoney
And I'm Ron. I'm watching.
00:00:13
Chris
Ron just dealt with a plumber.
00:00:14
whoneedsmoney
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Two days a plumber.
00:00:18
whoneedsmoney
Two days. Well, yeah, it came out Monday.
00:00:20
whoneedsmoney
Well, I called them. Saturday.
00:00:26
whoneedsmoney
And I said, it's not an emergency because if you tell it's emergency, boy, oh boy, they pay extra.
00:00:30
Chris
Oh, yeah, it's like double time.
00:00:33
whoneedsmoney
So I said, it's not emergency. I want hot water heaters not working. I'm going to work.
00:00:41
whoneedsmoney
Yeah, it broke while I was at work. So I'm like, well, it's only affecting my wife right now.
00:00:48
whoneedsmoney
And so they said, okay, we'll have a guy out there one day.
00:00:51
whoneedsmoney
He'll have everything to fix the water heater.
00:00:54
whoneedsmoney
So that sounds great.
House Maintenance Hilarity
00:00:57
whoneedsmoney
And they're like, well, what kind of water heater is I said, well, you installed it. So you should probably know what kind of water heater it is. Right. Like.
00:01:05
whoneedsmoney
So he comes out. He's like, Oh, I think there's a lot of sediment in the system and it's just, it's built up around thermostat. We could replace the thermostat for X amount of dollars or for X amount of dollars more, we can replace the whole thing.
00:01:19
whoneedsmoney
It wasn't that much more X to not make it worth it.
00:01:22
Chris
right and assuming the new one would be more energy efficient and yeah great or at least say hey i can run and get it in a half hour
00:01:24
whoneedsmoney
He said, but I don't have.
00:01:28
whoneedsmoney
Right. But he's like, I don't have the new water heater with me. I'm like, well, you were told that. I assume that if you're getting a water heater fix that you know is like 10 years old, you're planning on replacing it. Right. They only last like eight to 10 years.
00:01:49
whoneedsmoney
Right. Yeah. Their shop is five minutes from my house. You know, it's not like I live in the middle of nowhere.
00:01:52
Chris
Yeah, what, what do you have to like call somebody, oh yeah, Frank, we got to build another water heater.
00:01:59
whoneedsmoney
yeah so they're like oh I'll have to come back and of course they're like we'll come back Wednesday and that was of course a no-go so that ends up being the day we'll give you a four hour window of course they never show up at the beginning of the four hour window they always show up at the well end of it yeah it's like come on man you kill me here look I busted my hump to get home go to the gym get all that knocked out before
00:02:05
Chris
Yeah. Oh my gosh. Yeah, the last like two thirds of it.
00:02:26
whoneedsmoney
So I'd be here for him because Sherry's got to work, you know, she's working from home, but she's working.
00:02:32
whoneedsmoney
So it's just a nightmare.
00:02:34
Chris
Well, I'm sure the dogs were a ton of help with him.
00:02:36
whoneedsmoney
Actually, they were pretty good. We like we lock them up in their bedroom and they're fine.
00:02:41
whoneedsmoney
Yeah, the new embark once till he comes back in after everything's done, it says as as I'm starting to log on to this, he says, oh, I got to take a picture of it.
00:02:51
Chris
Did you like get in the picture and smile?
00:02:53
whoneedsmoney
Yeah. Here's my ass. He just took a chunk out of my wallet, so...
00:03:01
Chris
oh But now you have sweet sweet hot water.
00:03:06
Chris
Or I guess you will.
00:03:06
whoneedsmoney
I said when I... Yeah, he said it in about an hour.
00:03:11
whoneedsmoney
I said when I bought the last one that I was not gonna live in this house by the time the next one had to be put in. I was wrong. I'm still here.
00:03:23
whoneedsmoney
And now I can't afford to move, so I'm stuck.
00:03:27
Chris
All that because of a water heater.
00:03:28
whoneedsmoney
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:03:31
whoneedsmoney
Well, and the air conditioner I had to replace.
00:03:33
Chris
Well, think of the resale value you just added. I mean, you know, it's got a new water heater that doubles the resale value.
00:03:40
whoneedsmoney
Yeah, that puts an extra 50 bucks on it.
00:03:46
Chris
Is it cool to have like a lightning bolt on it or anything?
00:03:48
whoneedsmoney
Nope, nope, nope.
00:03:50
Chris
No, no racing stripes.
00:03:51
whoneedsmoney
I did get off because it had a dent in it.
00:03:54
whoneedsmoney
He's he's like, ah it has a dent in it. It doesn't affect the warranty. It just has a cosmetic defect. I said, I don't care what my water heater looks like.
00:04:02
whoneedsmoney
I'm not going to.
00:04:03
Chris
Yeah. How many people are like, hey, glad you stopped by tonight. Hey, we got a new water heater. Want to take a look?
00:04:08
whoneedsmoney
yeah Come look at this water heater. I've dressed it up in costumes.
00:04:12
Chris
Yeah. Hey, bring your kids over. Have a picture with it. God, what the hell?
00:04:17
whoneedsmoney
You know, like, that's probably a thing that happened once, right?
00:04:20
whoneedsmoney
Like when water heaters were a brand new thing, people were like, oh, can I see your water heater?
00:04:27
whoneedsmoney
Simpler times.
Weather Complaints and Jeep Trouble
00:04:34
Chris
yeah I'm loving our stupid, stupid February weather.
00:04:40
whoneedsmoney
Stupid, smart weather.
00:04:42
Chris
Where it was, what, 60 the other day and then yesterday was cold and rainy and sleety and today was just dreary and...
00:04:48
whoneedsmoney
Yeah, but it was 60 degrees with 30 mile an hour winds.
00:04:53
Chris
Oh yeah, you can't have enjoyable 60 degree weather.
00:04:59
Chris
was I tried to go for a walk. It was like, okay, I'm all right. And then I got to like the end of the neighborhood where the townhouses are. And it's like a wind tunnel. I was like, nope, I'm back.
00:05:08
whoneedsmoney
yeah The way my gym sits, cause I park on the side when I go to the gym.
00:05:16
whoneedsmoney
When I turn that corner, it's like I'm in a wind tunnel test.
00:05:21
whoneedsmoney
I find out how lack of aerodynamic I have because, oh my god.
00:05:27
Chris
Uh, but you're still more ah aerodynamic than a Jeep.
00:05:27
whoneedsmoney
It's insane.
00:05:31
whoneedsmoney
Well, yeah. Yeah. A brick is more aerodynamic than a Jeep.
00:05:38
whoneedsmoney
It's kind of why I think the 4XE, the hybrid electric, whatever Jeep is kind of funny.
00:05:46
whoneedsmoney
You're trying to make something that's not efficient efficient. It's never going to be efficient.
00:05:54
whoneedsmoney
Look, it's slightly more efficient than rolling a brick down the highway. Great.
00:06:01
Chris
Well, the good thing is, Jeeps have such a smooth ride and they're comfortable.
00:06:06
whoneedsmoney
Yeah, they're fun though.
00:06:06
Chris
They're quiet. they Oh, yeah, I mean, I love my Jeep, but yeah, you don't get a Jeep for fuel efficiency, comfort, road noise.
00:06:19
whoneedsmoney
We're watching out for steering issues because they all have steering issues.
00:06:23
Chris
Oh, yeah, eventually the wobble hits them all.
00:06:24
whoneedsmoney
yeah The wobble is the death wobble of spat. It's real bad in my Jeep right now.
00:06:31
whoneedsmoney
Oh man, and we have tried everything to fix it. We've replaced the front end like three times. People are like, you just need to buy this, you know, pro stabilizer bar.
00:06:41
whoneedsmoney
And we're like, put that in there and they don't do crap. You know, so it's a, yeah, unfortunately it's a 20.
00:06:53
whoneedsmoney
Yes. 20 years old Jeep.
00:06:54
Chris
jeez oh yeah yeah yeah oh yeah what kills me is you know
00:06:54
whoneedsmoney
So, you know, I tell my wife all the time, I'm like, it doesn't cost us anything, but we're not putting anything into it.
00:07:07
Chris
You've got it like that and you get the wobble, but then you have these maniacs who put these giant tires and stuff and they're fine.
00:07:13
whoneedsmoney
Yeah, well, fine is a word.
00:07:17
whoneedsmoney
I mean, they rip up their jeep's hardcore, so they never last.
00:07:24
whoneedsmoney
And unfortunately, Assatique has done its damage to my jeep.
00:07:28
whoneedsmoney
You know, there's some rust on it.
00:07:32
whoneedsmoney
The guy, like I said, the guy is like, yeah, you took it to the beach once. I'm like, yeah, more than once, but yes.
00:07:38
Chris
Once you drove by a body of water one time.
00:07:48
whoneedsmoney
yep got to fight with the maniacs who worked this morning well
Driving Controversy and Flu Season
00:07:55
whoneedsmoney
one of the maniacs said that driving on the jee on the beach at Assateague doesn't destroy the beach and it's dumb that the government is trying to limit the amount of people that do it and my re counter that was You may think you're the best driver in the world, but you're doing damage to the beach.
00:08:17
whoneedsmoney
And and then for every one of you who's careful, there's three of you who aren't and drive like maniacs.
00:08:23
whoneedsmoney
Well, that's true, but I said, no, no, no, there's no, but that's it.
00:08:28
whoneedsmoney
They're destroying.
00:08:28
Chris
When it's also not just the driving, it's the litter, it's the pollution, it's, yeah.
00:08:35
whoneedsmoney
Yeah. And, and I said, the government has to fix the beach because of people. Yeah, but they shouldn't do that on my dime.
00:08:43
whoneedsmoney
Well, whose dime are they going to do it on?
00:08:48
Chris
They shouldn't do it on my dime.
00:08:49
whoneedsmoney
Right. Because they were saying how they they should get rid of the park rangers because you know the park rangers don't do anything. and They do do things.
00:08:58
Chris
Yeah, they do a lot.
00:09:03
Chris
I thought you were going to talk about the maniac who came to work but had to get somebody else to do his job because he lost his voice.
00:09:09
whoneedsmoney
Oh, yeah. Well, he was feeling better this morning.
00:09:13
whoneedsmoney
I'll give him that.
00:09:16
whoneedsmoney
He told me yesterday, he's like, I don't know if I'm going to make it to work. I was like, well, I can't work overtime because like the water heater issue, obviously.
00:09:23
whoneedsmoney
And then he gave me more. He said he's feeling much better today.
00:09:29
Chris
Yeah, I mean, they say that flu A that's going around is no joke.
00:09:32
whoneedsmoney
Yeah, that's why I get flu shot.
00:09:34
Chris
Yeah, I mean, like, Phipp got it and he's still got the flu.
00:09:39
whoneedsmoney
I mean, there's still a chance, right? But they say it's better than not having it.
00:09:45
Chris
Oh, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Well, I mean, patient zero was spreading it around.
00:09:50
whoneedsmoney
I don't know what that is.
00:09:54
Chris
the nurse practitioner.
00:09:55
whoneedsmoney
Oh, oh, oh, Jess. I thought you said Jeff.
00:09:58
whoneedsmoney
What else, Jeff?
00:09:58
Chris
No, Jess. Yeah. yeah She was patient zero.
00:10:02
whoneedsmoney
Wouldn't it be nice to live in a world where people were responsible and made good decisions like staying home when they're sick?
00:10:10
Chris
Well, especially people in the medical profession.
00:10:13
whoneedsmoney
Right. Yeah.
00:10:17
Chris
I think the other day somebody sneezed and I was like, are you okay? Like, yeah, I think it's just allergies. And I looked at him. I was like, that's not allergies. so I was like, go home.
00:10:25
whoneedsmoney
It's February. you What allergies do you have in February?
00:10:26
Chris
Yeah. Like, well, I mean, I woke up feeling really cruddy and my throat hurts. I was like, get out of the office. Go, go. And then, yeah.
00:10:36
whoneedsmoney
Now the other day at eight o'clock in the evening at work, I started to feel crappy, but at that point I'm screwed.
00:10:44
whoneedsmoney
There's nothing I can do except go in my office and hide, right?
00:10:48
whoneedsmoney
Like it's that, that's like, uh, I'm not calling my boss. I'm like, Hey, I gotta go home because I'm sick right now. You know, that's not, that's not, that's not kosher, but stay back home.
00:11:00
whoneedsmoney
You got sick time.
00:11:01
whoneedsmoney
Well, you should have sick time at least.
00:11:03
Chris
Yeah. Well, and I don't think most of the public understands when the male body gets the flu or a cold or something.
00:11:15
Chris
I mean, it puts us on death's door.
00:11:18
whoneedsmoney
that's true man flu is a real thing yeah it's terrible well it's like my wife always asks me because i don't get sick but once or twice a year and when i get sick it's like bam you know right yeah
00:11:18
Chris
It impacts our body so much stronger than anybody else. It's crazy.
00:11:36
Chris
Yeah. Oh, yeah. Yeah. that's the thing our bodies are fighting everything the rest of the time and then it's that just takes that one little pause and down we go yeah yeah you can bring me soup yeah yeah nice bowl of tomato or i use a mug of tomato soup
00:11:46
whoneedsmoney
Lets its guard down. And then all of a sudden I'm under the sheep's cover and shivering. Yeah. Yeah. Bring me soup. That's all I want in life.
00:12:03
whoneedsmoney
Oh man. i The more, i the older I get, the less I want to have tomato soup. It's just like,
00:12:14
whoneedsmoney
Acidic and not very good.
00:12:17
Chris
Yeah, see, I don't like tomatoes, but I like tomato soup.
00:12:20
Chris
Yeah, a little bit of black pepper cracked into it.
Culinary Adventures and Dietary Discussions
00:12:29
Chris
Actually had that Sunday night for dinner, we had we're like kids, we had grilled cheese and tomato soup.
00:12:36
whoneedsmoney
I mean, sure. Real cheese is fine.
00:12:39
Chris
We did use we used fancy bread.
00:12:45
whoneedsmoney
fancy business you know
00:12:46
Chris
yeah that's like i got thinking about today at work we went out to lunch and i got a wrap and to today at lunch was the first time i've eaten meat since sunday yeah it's
00:12:52
whoneedsmoney
well that's really nice you know how do we feel
00:13:03
Chris
great had some pasta with brussel sprouts a couple nights and homemade chickpea shawarma tuesday night yeah it was good made my own shawarma spice
00:13:16
Chris
yeah yeah i mean that's the spice blend right oh no we used chickpea so we coated chickpeas in the schwarma spice yeah yeah these were just whole chickpeas that we roasted yeah yeah
00:13:18
whoneedsmoney
Should I No, the shawarma is the balls, right?
00:13:32
whoneedsmoney
Yeah, that's what that's what usually shawarma is, it's the little chickpea balls. Oh, I see. I understand now.
00:13:45
whoneedsmoney
Let's see what better for you, because it didn deep fry.
00:13:45
Chris
a nice cucumber feta yeah like uh
00:13:51
whoneedsmoney
I'm not in for feta. Very rarely.
00:13:56
Chris
let's take the wrap i got today was a buffalo chicken wrap and there was a giant giant chunk of blue cheese in it that i thought was like a piece of chicken or something that was that was an uptake yeah
00:14:09
whoneedsmoney
That's a good bite.
00:14:14
whoneedsmoney
I'm still punishing myself by eating the same things every day.
00:14:19
whoneedsmoney
Yeah, I mean, worried about my macros every day. I pretty much eat the same meal every day.
00:14:24
Chris
You don't think a dog?
00:14:25
whoneedsmoney
Just makes tracking a lot easier.
00:14:27
Chris
Yeah, I mean, I guess so, but I i would get bored.
00:14:32
whoneedsmoney
I bring on the cube pellet. That's just, you know, just here's just, here's the thing you eat.
00:14:42
whoneedsmoney
Bring that on.
00:14:44
Chris
Hmm. I mean, if it was a pellet, I don't know.
00:14:48
Chris
As long as it didn't have like a weird texture or taste or something, I'd be fine.
00:14:56
Chris
But I think just like eating a slurry every day, I couldn't do it.
00:14:56
whoneedsmoney
but If I could figure out a way to get micronutrients into my Greek yogurt, I would just eat Greek yogurt five times a day.
00:15:07
whoneedsmoney
And I do put blueberries and stuff in there, but I'm not putting kale in my Greek yogurt yet. I'm gonna reach that point.
00:15:12
Chris
Oh, that doesn't sound good. Maybe we should blend the kale up.
00:15:17
whoneedsmoney
I used to, yeah, no, I can't do smoothies for that very reason.
00:15:24
whoneedsmoney
right That gritty kale-ness that comes out of the smoothie.
00:15:30
whoneedsmoney
No, not in for it. Not going to do it. I used to hate yogurt too, but I still don't like regular yogurt, but i'll I'll eat the Greek yogurt.
00:15:42
whoneedsmoney
That's a good protein source.
00:15:46
Chris
Mix it with chia seed into it.
00:15:49
whoneedsmoney
Yeah, so I put my GC in my cranberry sauce that then I put in the Greek yogurt.
00:15:54
Chris
This is your homemade hoity-toity cranberry sauce.
00:16:00
whoneedsmoney
Because cayenne cranberry sauce is gross.
00:16:04
whoneedsmoney
It's just gelatinous goop.
00:16:05
Chris
Comes out in a lovely shape and you can just, it's got pre-designated lines for you to cut.
00:16:10
whoneedsmoney
That's not true.
00:16:13
whoneedsmoney
So who gets the big portions then?
00:16:20
whoneedsmoney
I bought this cranberry sauce, I get the big end.
00:16:23
Chris
Yeah, I spent a whopping 89 cents on this. I get the biggest piece.
00:16:28
whoneedsmoney
speaker i saw i I don't know if you've seen Sorted Food, but it was the saddest thing to me. They were doing the thing the other day where it's like the review kitchen gadgets and this thing made basically oatmeal.
00:16:45
whoneedsmoney
It cracked oats and oatmeal or growth and oatmeal.
00:16:49
whoneedsmoney
It was more expensive to buy the unprocessed. Oats. That it was to buy like a box of oatmeal.
00:16:58
Chris
okay like the quicker instant oats wow that that is well
00:17:03
whoneedsmoney
Isn't that sad?
00:17:06
whoneedsmoney
Something wrong, like fundamentally wrong with that.
00:17:08
Chris
i think what it is is you have to grow your own oats
00:17:12
whoneedsmoney
Yeah, that feels extreme and hard.
00:17:19
Chris
I mean, I mean, you know, like you can only enjoy oatmeal, you know, like for a month a year, but it's worth it.
00:17:26
whoneedsmoney
Oh, i I eat it almost every day.
00:17:29
Chris
Yeah, but I'm saying if you did it that way, I guess if you harvested it and preserved it
00:17:31
whoneedsmoney
Oh, no, because you tried it.
Farming Fantasies and Measurement Mishaps
00:17:34
whoneedsmoney
Yeah, yeah.
00:17:36
Chris
Yeah, you'd have to have a massive field, though.
00:17:39
whoneedsmoney
Yeah, I wonder how much...
00:17:41
whoneedsmoney
How many hectares of ah oats do I need?
00:17:44
Chris
That's right. What is a hectare?
00:17:49
whoneedsmoney
It's eight it's an eighth of an acre, right?
00:17:53
whoneedsmoney
I don't know.
00:17:54
whoneedsmoney
That's my educated guess.
00:17:54
Chris
Hect, I mean, I don't know.
00:18:02
Chris
One hectare is 2.47 acres.
00:18:05
whoneedsmoney
That doesn't make any sense.
00:18:06
Chris
Wow, that's what it is.
00:18:11
whoneedsmoney
I know a hide is as much land as it takes to feed a family.
00:18:24
whoneedsmoney
would I need
00:18:29
Chris
Uh-oh, danger of hood. According to most estimates, roughly one acre of oats would be sufficient to feed a person for a year, assuming a balanced diet that includes oats as a staple grain. This can vary based on growing conditions, harvest yield, and individual diet needs.
00:18:52
Chris
Oats are considered a relatively efficient grain crop, so one acre can produce a substantial amount of grain.
00:19:00
whoneedsmoney
This is the craziest statement I've ever seen on the internet. Do you enjoy a warm bowl of oatmeal for fruit for breakfast? That you should be growing oats.
00:19:12
Chris
no It's an you go out there with your size and harvest them and.
00:19:16
whoneedsmoney
Oats are the highest in protein.
00:19:23
whoneedsmoney
Okay. 36 pounds per bushel.
00:19:27
whoneedsmoney
Uh, one bushel of raw oats makes about 14 pounds of rolled oats.
00:19:34
whoneedsmoney
think of Five bushels on a 12th of an acre.
00:19:45
Chris
Is that a peck? Five bushels?
00:19:47
whoneedsmoney
No, a peck is a... Isn't that an apple? Like it's a cart.
00:19:53
whoneedsmoney
Right? I think we've had this conversation before.
00:19:56
Chris
and We have, I think.
00:19:58
whoneedsmoney
You can make naked oats of vina nuda.
00:20:09
whoneedsmoney
You can get the streaker, which is resistant to crown rust.
00:20:17
Chris
A peck is eight dry cords.
00:20:19
whoneedsmoney
There you go. So in the spring and fall, you can plant your oats and you sow in the fall if you do it in the spring.
00:20:30
whoneedsmoney
No. They don't mind cloudy, rainy weather. That's Delaware right now.
00:20:36
Chris
yeah but Sounds like you need to get ready to sew some oats in about a month and a half.
00:20:42
whoneedsmoney
Yeah, they like a pH between 6 and 7.5. Sure.
00:20:47
whoneedsmoney
I don't know how to change that.
00:20:49
Chris
Hey, it depends on if you need to put potash or something else in your soil.
00:20:56
Chris
What is it? Straw brings, yeah, straw or something makes it more acidic and then potash will obviously make it more basic.
00:21:15
whoneedsmoney
Plant seeds four to six inches apart, rows that are 12 inches apart. Nice and damp so they need moisture. They like water and in sun.
00:21:28
whoneedsmoney
I'm going to grow some oats on my quarter acre.
00:21:30
Chris
and And you might as well get a goat to eat the weeds and fertilize. Yeah, yeah.
00:21:43
whoneedsmoney
Dogs, you're not going to have as much room this year. Daddy's growing oats.
00:21:51
whoneedsmoney
I'm going to need to thresh them and cure them.
00:21:52
Chris
See now. Two years from now, you're going to be at the farmer's market near bib overalls. Try Uncle Ron's rolled oats.
00:22:04
whoneedsmoney
Yeah. Oh, I can turn the stems into silage for my animals. Dogs are getting silage.
00:22:12
whoneedsmoney
I don't know what silage even is.
00:22:15
Chris
The silage or silage?
00:22:17
whoneedsmoney
Oh, I don't know.
00:22:20
whoneedsmoney
That's a good question.
00:22:23
Chris
<unk>las are for <unk>llage Silage fermented feed for livestock made from chopped green plants. Feed cattle and sheep during the dry season or winter when natural pastures are scarce. It's placed in a silo and fermented in an airtight environment.
00:22:43
whoneedsmoney
You can make a ah make a Mexican oatmeal bowl.
00:22:43
Chris
It retains more nutrients per acre than hay. Cattle enjoy the taste in aroma.
00:22:55
whoneedsmoney
I never would have thought of this.
00:23:00
Chris
Well, we know where Ron's dabbling into this year.
00:23:06
whoneedsmoney
Oats, pancakes?
00:23:10
whoneedsmoney
Garlic oats with eggs?
00:23:14
whoneedsmoney
Sounds delicious.
00:23:16
Chris
Yeah, let's say I know.
00:23:17
whoneedsmoney
she chi d I think stretch out the sausage, yeah.
00:23:20
Chris
Don't they use oats as like a sausage replacement sometimes for meat? Yeah.
00:23:29
whoneedsmoney
Mushroom oats. Oh. up I've been just eating regular oatmeal like a sucker.
00:23:38
Chris
yeah Why don't you just make oatmeal cookies?
00:23:46
whoneedsmoney
like that's there' a lot of sugar Johnny Cakes yeah like on
00:23:50
Chris
I have to put a lot of sugar in them. Just make little oat cakes. You can't make Johnny cakes. But they're fried, aren't they? So I mean, they're kind of... Yes.
00:24:17
whoneedsmoney
Look, I got a lot of farming to do.
00:24:17
Chris
I can't wait. They do. You need to get a Clydesdale to pull the plow.
00:24:25
whoneedsmoney
I need a plow.
00:24:27
Chris
I mean, I'm sure, don't you? You got to plant them by hand like a maniac.
00:24:33
whoneedsmoney
Oh, it's going to Atticus do it.
00:24:37
Chris
OK. Yeah, I'm sure. Yeah. Yeah. Tie a little plow but or a hoe behind Atticus.
00:24:45
Chris
ah The are all zigzaggy. Squirrel runs out and he takes off after it. Your wife's asking, why are there oats growing across the middle of the yard?
00:24:53
whoneedsmoney
Yeah, you know.
00:24:56
Chris
There's a squirrel, just don't ask.
00:25:00
Chris
You have to put a scarecrow up?
00:25:01
whoneedsmoney
How back can I go?
00:25:04
whoneedsmoney
Will they eat my oats?
00:25:07
whoneedsmoney
I don't know.
00:25:08
Chris
Crows might not, but birds will.
00:25:10
whoneedsmoney
Hmm, I hate birds anyways.
00:25:11
Chris
And then you've got to watch squirrels because they'll dig the oats up and eat them.
00:25:17
whoneedsmoney
Now I'm gonna need like a guard dog.
00:25:17
Chris
You're opportunistic little guys.
00:25:21
Chris
Oh, well the goat will keep the squirrels away.
00:25:33
whoneedsmoney
What's a... It sounds like a lot of work or I could just pay my $3 in my boots.
00:25:39
Chris
Yeah. But this way you get the benefit of working for your oats.
00:25:46
whoneedsmoney
But I do work for it. It's called going to my job.
00:25:48
Chris
yeah well there's your retirement gig you can grow oats or yeah it's like everybody jokes when somebody retires from the fire department had they either go work for the court system or a funeral home you know or whatever they add the new one or they grow oats
00:25:55
whoneedsmoney
Yeah, or. Or not. I can, you know.
00:26:20
whoneedsmoney
No one will see that one coming, especially with me.
00:26:22
Chris
No, they won't. Yeah.
00:26:24
whoneedsmoney
Did anybody talk to Whisper? I hear he goes to farmer's markets and sells his oats.
00:26:34
Chris
That would have so many people like what? what
00:26:40
whoneedsmoney
But I'll make Mexican oats and, you know, enjoy them.
00:26:53
Chris
So what's the difference between oatmeal and porridge?
00:26:58
whoneedsmoney
I think oatmeal is made with oats and porridge is made with other things?
00:27:06
Chris
ah So it's like cream of wheat or something.
00:27:08
whoneedsmoney
And they put like milk and porridge, right?
00:27:12
Chris
Porridge versus oatmeal. There's several differences. My porridge is a hot cooked cereal dish made from grains or legumes.
00:27:22
whoneedsmoney
Oh, so it doesn't have to be oatmeal.
00:27:22
Chris
Oatmeal is specifically porridge from oats.
00:27:31
whoneedsmoney
Wait, so grits is porridge?
00:27:35
Chris
I guess, yeah, because it's a legume.
00:27:44
whoneedsmoney
Well, fun fact.
00:27:50
whoneedsmoney
It's nothing better than it'll be on the morning.
00:27:50
Chris
Well. See, I can't. It's a texture thing.
00:27:56
whoneedsmoney
Yeah, wish you want to start your day off with a nice healthy trip to the bathroom.
00:28:01
Chris
Well, I have my and honey nut Cheerios on the way to work every morning.
00:28:08
whoneedsmoney
and you eat them dry like a weird bird
00:28:11
Chris
It's delightful. I've got two specific cups I use. I know exactly how far to fill them. And by the time I get to work, I've eaten my three quarters of a cup of Honey Nut Cheerios and I'm ready for the day.
00:28:29
whoneedsmoney
I get to work and cook my oatmeal and sit down because I get there so early and I wait for the maniacs from C-Shift to wake up.
00:28:39
whoneedsmoney
and then they disturb me.
00:28:47
whoneedsmoney
but It's ah it is funny how i they sleep. I'm always up at six. Like, clockwork at work.
00:28:54
Chris
Oh, yeah. Yeah, I work.
00:28:55
Chris
I was always. Yeah.
00:28:57
whoneedsmoney
You know. It's for sure one time our lieutenant slept in.
00:29:03
whoneedsmoney
And then that's why we didn't check on him.
00:29:07
Chris
ah In retrospect, it was a sign.
00:29:11
whoneedsmoney
Yeah. Yeah. A lot of things are signs.
00:29:16
Chris
It's like we're damned if we do, damned if we go in there and he's not dead, we woke him up and made him mad. If we go in there and he is dead, well now we got a dead lieutenant to deal with.
00:29:25
whoneedsmoney
Right. Right.
00:29:27
whoneedsmoney
But if we waited for a shift to deal with it, that was really the answer.
00:29:30
Chris
Exactly. Oh yeah, yeah.
00:29:32
whoneedsmoney
Yeah. Yeah.
00:29:36
whoneedsmoney
I don't even know.
00:29:37
Chris
Hey, where's your lieutenant? Oh, thanks, still in the bunk room. Do you want to check on him? Ah, give him another minute.
00:29:44
whoneedsmoney
yeah Yeah, we literally had that conversation.
00:29:49
whoneedsmoney
He was not well-liked.
00:29:57
whoneedsmoney
Well, ready to move on to topic one?
00:30:01
whoneedsmoney
Topic one, and this is your fault.
00:30:06
whoneedsmoney
What will make or break the new Fantastic Four?
00:30:14
whoneedsmoney
What do they have to do to make it good?
Fantastic Four Movie Speculations
00:30:20
whoneedsmoney
Because I think they're already screwed up.
00:30:23
Chris
But I might agree with you on that. Is it Pedro Pascal?
00:30:31
whoneedsmoney
I feel like that's a big miss.
00:30:33
Chris
Yeah, he's he's a delightful guy, but he doesn't need to be everyone. You had John Krasinski.
00:30:43
whoneedsmoney
I just, I guess my worry with Pedro Pascal is he tends to play things a bit goofy.
00:30:52
whoneedsmoney
And Reed Richards is not a goofy character to me.
00:30:56
Chris
yeah No, no, Reed is very straight-laced, super genius, stretchy man.
00:31:02
whoneedsmoney
Stretching me. Yeah. You know, kind of a egotistical jerk.
00:31:09
whoneedsmoney
You know, he's got to be a little bit smarmy.
00:31:12
Chris
Yeah, he's all about the science, and science comes first, and yeah.
00:31:18
whoneedsmoney
Yeah, i I didn't watch the trailer because, you know, of my rule.
00:31:25
whoneedsmoney
But I saw the costumes, which I think is ah also a miss.
00:31:32
Chris
Well, evidently this is like set in the 60s.
00:31:37
whoneedsmoney
Oh, see, I think that might be a real problem.
00:31:39
Chris
I think, yeah, that's a big like why I'm asking.
00:31:44
whoneedsmoney
Right. Why not?
00:31:47
whoneedsmoney
Why not make it the Fantastic Four of now?
00:31:52
whoneedsmoney
Like, appeal to the audience, because i I actually, generally, genuinely have a soft spot for the Fantastic Four, like in the comics, but I've not enjoyed any of the movies.
00:32:06
Chris
Oh, the movies have not been good. But yeah, in the comics, you know, I mean, they're the team that kind eat Tony Stark even turns to for, you know, advice and, you know, smarts and things.
00:32:18
whoneedsmoney
Yeah. Yeah. that they And they started it all, right? Like they're the first real team.
00:32:23
Chris
Yeah, yeah. Spider-Man was on the Fantastic Four for a while when he was Bag Man.
00:32:28
whoneedsmoney
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So that's where Spider-Man was originally on the Fed as before, right? That's the first Spider-Man experience.
00:32:37
Chris
I think it was he was involved in it, but yeah.
00:32:38
whoneedsmoney
I think also Punisher.
00:32:42
Chris
Was Pardes sure really?
00:32:44
whoneedsmoney
I think Punisher was in a Fantastic Four run.
00:32:50
whoneedsmoney
I might be wrong. I've learned to be wrong about things. um
00:33:03
Chris
um there's definitely a lot of stuff with the two crossing over but hey probably was
00:33:08
whoneedsmoney
I'm sorry, he was it originally in Amazing Spider-Man 129.
00:33:14
whoneedsmoney
I thought he was in a Fantastic Four pretty early on, too. Maybe. But back to what the question I thought was, what do they have to do to win?
00:33:31
whoneedsmoney
Because it seems like the formula is good, right? Like Johnny is a brash douchebag.
00:33:40
whoneedsmoney
Ben is a misunderstood monster. He's got the whole Frankenstein thing going for him.
00:33:44
Chris
Yeah. Yeah, Sue is.
00:33:48
whoneedsmoney
Two is two.
00:33:52
whoneedsmoney
And then read.
00:33:53
Chris
Sue is deceptively powerful. You're like, oh, you know, sue she's just this, you know, oh, she can turn invisible, but she's got a lot more that she can do.
00:34:01
whoneedsmoney
Well, that's my I mean, that's a that's a question how far they go with the Sioux, you know, powers because.
00:34:08
whoneedsmoney
She isn't usually just kind of invisible, but then she becomes invisible and she can do force fields, right?
00:34:16
whoneedsmoney
But like, I almost want them to skip the origin story. We've seen it 12 times now.
00:34:24
Chris
Yeah, I would say if anything, just do like.
00:34:29
Chris
I don't know like a brief mention of it and then maybe you know like as the characters are interacting with things or something you know like they flash back to when it happened or you know before it or something like that but have it focused on their here and now and then yeah little montages or whatever as you go but not long drawn out things just short little snippets and focus on whatever it is that they're dealing with now.
00:34:55
whoneedsmoney
Yeah, I don't need it to be the reboot of the reboot of the reboot of the reboot of the reboot of Phaidus 4, right?
00:35:04
whoneedsmoney
Now, is this the thing that Robert Downey Jr. is playing, Dr. Duman?
00:35:08
Chris
No, that is something else.
00:35:13
whoneedsmoney
Because you also have to have a good Dr.
00:35:15
whoneedsmoney
Doom. And the last one wasn't good.
00:35:17
Chris
I would I would say you don't start with Dr. Doom.
00:35:21
whoneedsmoney
Sure. If you're gonna do it, you have to be good.
00:35:23
Chris
Like, yeah, and you tease him at the end or something. Like it was all tied back to him or you know whatever. So if you just start, and it's Dr. Doom, and yeah then it's just, okay, we're there fighting Dr. Doom ah again.
00:35:37
Chris
You know, build it up like a Thanos thing. Because, I mean, Dr. Doom is up there for villain-wise. I mean, he's got his own country.
00:35:44
whoneedsmoney
Yeah, I mean, he's just, that was kind of the problem.
00:35:45
Chris
So, yeah, build him as the overarching kind of thing. And, and well, I saw in the trailer who one of the villains is. So, yeah.
00:35:59
whoneedsmoney
But like, that was kind of my problem with the last run of the movies was the Dr. Doom character was lame.
00:36:07
whoneedsmoney
It's like, but this is the, but like, until they go up against the Silver Surfer, and Galactica and all that crap.
00:36:16
whoneedsmoney
That's the bad guy, Dr. Do.
00:36:22
Chris
Yeah, it's the enemy in Doom is a great villain. He's super against super smart. I mean, eventually he I think he gets the Dr. Strange's powers for a bit becomes the Sorcerer Supreme and something else. So. Yeah, doom is doom.
00:36:43
whoneedsmoney
Yeah. To him is to him.
00:36:47
Chris
Yeah, they have to. Fantastic Four has to have their little robot. What was it, Kirby or whatever?
00:36:51
whoneedsmoney
Oh, I don't know what the character I can't remember.
00:36:52
Chris
Kirby. There's that little robot.
00:36:57
whoneedsmoney
I mean, you have to have the they the headquarters.
00:37:03
whoneedsmoney
It's this important part.
00:37:05
Chris
Oh, the Baxter building?
00:37:06
whoneedsmoney
The Baxter building.
00:37:06
Chris
Yeah, you gotta have the Baxter building.
00:37:07
whoneedsmoney
Yeah. And, you know,
00:37:12
whoneedsmoney
Read that has to be done well. And that's my word. That's my I just, I don't know.
00:37:19
Chris
Yeah, you got to. Yeah, you see him and you're like, oh, you know, this is going to be this charismatic guy and this and that. And then he opens his mouth and you're like, oh, he is like a robot. He is just, yeah.
00:37:32
Chris
Total PhD kind of guy, not good at interacting with people and all that very.
00:37:41
Chris
I don't know, like, gruff, but, you know, kind of aloof, like you said, and yeah, just he's the smartest guy in the room and he absolutely knows it and has no idea how to talk to a normal person.
00:37:49
whoneedsmoney
this he's he's the smartest guy in the world right like that's his thing I think he's originally the smartest guy in the world right like yeah we'll
00:37:55
Chris
Mm hmm. Yeah. You know, because like he can stretch his brain now too or something. Well, yeah, he was originally like super smart, but I think, you know,
00:38:12
whoneedsmoney
see I mean I'm not I don't want to be
00:38:13
Chris
Yeah. Well, I mean, you got to have Johnny say flame on.
00:38:18
whoneedsmoney
We gotta have Johnny say flame on I was gonna say thing that you know, that's you know I want them to kind of Keep it to itself.
00:38:23
Chris
Yeah, yeah. God, that was so funny.
00:38:32
whoneedsmoney
Maybe that's why they're doing it from the 60s so they don't have to do any crossover apart You know
00:38:43
Chris
Like you said, the Fantastic Four are so influential in the comics overall. I mean, Ben, they helped Spider-Man beat the Venom symbiote.
00:38:51
whoneedsmoney
Yeah, I mean...
00:38:56
Chris
They, you know, help the X-Men, the Avengers.
00:38:58
whoneedsmoney
They start the Avengers, basically, you know.
00:39:00
Chris
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Well, isn't it Reed and um Hank Pym that make Ultron?
00:39:09
whoneedsmoney
Oh, is that true?
00:39:13
Chris
I think that's what it was. In the comics, it definitely wasn't Bruce.
00:39:18
whoneedsmoney
No, yeah, yeah. yeah yeah
00:39:23
whoneedsmoney
It gets very... I mean, if I can, they do everything, you know. And then they made the movies.
00:39:31
Chris
Oh, in the comics, Hank Pym. Yeah, but it was somebody else. I knew somebody had to help him. Oh, no, it was just really Hank Pym.
00:39:48
whoneedsmoney
I didn't realize they'd canceled the Tradesic 4 for a few years.
00:39:52
Chris
know Yeah, I mean, they could be really cool or they could be really bad. So I hope that the thing looks like, you know, the thing and not some horrible styrofoam man.
00:40:01
whoneedsmoney
Yeah, yeah.
00:40:11
whoneedsmoney
Sure, yeah.
00:40:12
Chris
yeah Because I mean, the thinking, you know, do get out with the Hulk. You gotta have that strength.
00:40:21
whoneedsmoney
Yeah, there's a lot they can do. and But my question with the 60s thing is like, where do you go with that? Because now you can't interact with any of the current Marvel people.
00:40:35
Chris
Well, unless there's one of those wacky time things here.
00:40:37
whoneedsmoney
Yeah. Wacky time travel.
00:40:42
Chris
So you gotta have the fantastic car.
00:40:47
Chris
Or the plane, whatever it was.
00:40:48
whoneedsmoney
the all that's the the sixties era of everybody had everything was named the fantastic or you know batmobile ah plane blelicopter but everything um the stretching yeah well you know they gotta live on their little secret
00:40:55
Chris
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I never understood why Wonder Woman had an invisible jet, though.
00:41:12
Chris
No, nothing else was invisible.
00:41:18
whoneedsmoney
island I don't know you gotta have been in the trench coat and the fedora yeah and who's the blind girl he that's not her name
00:41:19
Chris
Yeah. Yeah. I guess.
00:41:27
Chris
Oh, yeah. Yeah, you've got to see that at least once. That's classic. Oh, yeah, that's right. I want to say Betsy, but that's not it.
00:41:44
Chris
Mind girl likes the thing. Oh, god. Let's keep this spring up.
00:42:06
Chris
Let's put Marvel in there. That might help.
00:42:08
whoneedsmoney
Yeah, would that would help the thing, yeah.
00:42:10
Chris
and Marvel it. Alicia Masters.
00:42:12
whoneedsmoney
Yeah, go yeah, yeah.
00:42:13
Chris
It's a blind character. yeah She falls in love with Ben for his personality.
00:42:27
whoneedsmoney
because the whole thing is they like, they don't, they don't, she doesn't touch him until like way late to figure out that he's the thing.
00:42:38
whoneedsmoney
yeah I mean, you kind of have to have Reed Richards like deal with Tony Stark's dad. I don't know.
00:42:47
Chris
Yeah, yeah. Yeah, I guess that would be Reed and Howard.
00:42:55
Chris
Yeah, and kind of questioning Howard, you know, like, why are you building stuff for the military? And, you know, I mean, you could use your mind for.
00:43:03
whoneedsmoney
Well, Reed's kind of like part of the establishment, right? like
00:43:11
whoneedsmoney
He's not He's kind of a guy who builds stuff for the military too. That's kind of the whole thing Sure,
00:43:17
Chris
Yeah. Yeah, but doesn't he also like figure out how to, you know, grow oats for an entire world or something?
00:43:26
whoneedsmoney
yeah, yeah again, he's the smart fan of the world But
00:43:32
whoneedsmoney
I'm optimistic I'll I'll definitely see it I'm not I think I've seen all of them even if they were bad
00:43:36
Chris
Yeah. Yeah, yeah, I don't know that I'll rush out to the theater to see it, but I'll definitely watch it.
00:43:48
whoneedsmoney
Anyway, I enjoy Pedro Pascal and things.
00:43:51
Chris
Yeah, yeah. I just hope this isn't just shoehorning in, ah you know, like big name.
00:43:58
whoneedsmoney
Yeah. He must have like really signed some really big deal with Disney.
00:44:04
whoneedsmoney
He's in everything they do.
00:44:09
whoneedsmoney
It's like back in the 20s when he used to sign with a ah studio.
00:44:13
whoneedsmoney
and you did like a third day you were just in everything yeah seen it don't know i think it's gonna people say it's good yeah
00:44:14
Chris
And you're in everything.
00:44:18
Chris
Yeah. Next I mean with Disney's got Mandalorian. Now Fantastic Four. You said something else buddy.
00:44:32
Chris
Buddy with HBO Max. He's on The Last of Us.
00:44:44
whoneedsmoney
Not really, I should not get max.
00:44:51
whoneedsmoney
I didn't watch it either, and all I heard was bad things, and yeah.
00:44:58
whoneedsmoney
yeah It's a Ridley Scott money, what are you gonna do?
00:45:05
whoneedsmoney
I don't know why Ridley Scott does that. Like, and it's a whole other rant. I get on a three-hour conversation about why Ridley Scott shoehorns historical characters into the wrong story.
00:45:19
Chris
Yeah. Wasn't gladiator two just a retelling of gladiator one?
00:45:24
whoneedsmoney
No, I think it's...
00:45:25
whoneedsmoney
I think it's... after Gladiator 1.
00:45:29
Chris
Oh, yeah yeah, but I'm saying the actual story is pretty much gladiator one again.
00:45:34
whoneedsmoney
Oh, I don't know about that anymore.
00:45:37
Chris
I haven't watched it.
00:45:41
Chris
You'll be one of those. It comes to Netflix or whatever. OK.
00:45:48
whoneedsmoney
you I don't even know what streaming services I have anymore. I know I don't have Netflix. Amazon Prime is a treacherous abomination that's not worth watching anything on.
00:46:03
Chris
It has its moments, but yeah. Well, Invincible's about to come back.
00:46:05
whoneedsmoney
i was Watching a show on Amazon Prime, the the new SAS Rogue Heroes show, which was pretty good.
00:46:13
whoneedsmoney
I was enjoying it.
00:46:14
whoneedsmoney
I went to work and then I come back to work and says, Oh, you need to upgrade the MGM plus now to watch the rest of the show.
00:46:20
whoneedsmoney
That's like you.
00:46:20
Chris
Oh, that's... That's wrong.
00:46:24
whoneedsmoney
Yeah. And you gotta watch commercials when you watch crap on there.
00:46:29
whoneedsmoney
It's terrible.
00:46:30
Chris
Yeah. it Like I said, Invincible's coming back, that was good.
00:46:39
whoneedsmoney
Well, we're gonna move on to the topic two.
00:46:39
Chris
Yeah, I think we've got Prime, we've got Max, Disney, Hulu, Netflix.
00:46:43
whoneedsmoney
Oh, we went to Max.
00:46:46
whoneedsmoney
Disney. We have Disney and ESPN Plus because of Disney.
00:46:52
whoneedsmoney
I think we have Hulu because of the wife.
00:46:52
Chris
Let's see, we have Disney and Hulu because of Disney.
00:46:58
whoneedsmoney
Yeah, yeah. I think, yeah, I think we have the Disney, you Hulu, ESPN bundle.
00:47:01
Chris
Yeah. Yeah. Every now and again, we'll get Apple TV for like a show and then cancel it.
00:47:09
whoneedsmoney
Yeah, and we we did that for one show and then cancelled it.
00:47:14
whoneedsmoney
I watched the Greyhound movie and then Ted Lasso.
00:47:16
Chris
The Greyhound movie.
00:47:21
whoneedsmoney
Yeah, it was the Tom Hanks movie where he's a destroyer captain.
00:47:27
Chris
Oh, OK. I thought it was like dogs or the bus.
00:47:29
whoneedsmoney
No, no, no.
00:47:32
whoneedsmoney
It was a good movie.
00:47:32
Chris
He's like, oh, you watched a documentary on the bus service grounds.
00:47:39
whoneedsmoney
Yes, yes, it was a 2R documentary. just They just put a film crew on a bus and you watch the bus travel.
00:47:48
Chris
ah Do people even take like long bus ride trips anymore?
00:47:55
whoneedsmoney
Oh yeah like yeah, I think that's so but still a pretty big thing.
00:48:01
Chris
Let's go get a bus ticket.
00:48:06
whoneedsmoney
I hope it becomes a bigger thing in this country because, you know, how much a car costs today is ridiculous.
00:48:23
whoneedsmoney
Yeah, let's move on to topic two.
00:48:25
Chris
All right. So topic two, I got thinking about this a little bit because It's kind of tangentially associated with it, but Call of Duty now has crazy seasons and stuff, and right now the new one is the Terminator.
Consciousness and Immortality
00:48:41
Chris
Which, yeah, it's just you earn stuff so you can get different skins and weapons and stuff like that. But I got thinking about it, and I think we've kind of talked about this before, but
00:48:55
Chris
Would you get uploaded into a robot so you could pretty much live forever? And if you did, what do you think would be the worst, like, missed sense or missed thing? Because, like, was I was watching um Creature Commandos and it was a the one guy, Dr. Phosphorus, and he was like, Yeah, I haven't felt somebody touch me in, you know, 15 years. And it's like,
00:49:22
Chris
I never would have thought of that, you know, like as a robot or, you know, something that you're like, you don't feel touch, you don't taste, you don't smell, you just see and hear.
00:49:34
whoneedsmoney
Hear me out.
00:49:36
whoneedsmoney
All of the things you've described are just electrical impulses.
00:49:43
whoneedsmoney
On and on enough time frame. Spending enough time, you know, working on it. I think you could get all those senses back as a robot.
00:49:56
whoneedsmoney
What would I miss the most though?
00:50:03
Chris
I think touch would be mine.
00:50:06
whoneedsmoney
yeah tactile touch would be like like that would be tough losing like the ability to feel like floating in water you know it's just getting snuggled up in a blanket yeah that would be tough but you wouldn't need to go for a because you're in a robot body
00:50:17
Chris
Yeah, or, you know, warm, cold. Yeah. The warmth of the sun. Although I could go for a walk anytime because stupid wind wouldn't bother me. But you got to keep your servos running. Isn't that a thing?
00:50:38
whoneedsmoney
I mean maintenance st droids I mean I imagine I'm living in a you know a volcano secret lair at this point right yeah well I've got infinite time so you know I'm gonna have those nanobots yeah I think the touch would be the toughest one
00:50:48
Chris
like ah But you have to have an army of little, like, nanobots to take care of you then. Yeah. Yeah.
00:51:00
Chris
Yeah, read Richards to build it for you.
00:51:06
Chris
I mean, yeah, I mean.
00:51:08
whoneedsmoney
Because like smell, who cares?
00:51:15
whoneedsmoney
Like you lose your said smell, it's like.
00:51:15
Chris
Yeah, although, don't they say that like smell is like one of the most deeply associated sense with like memory and things?
00:51:25
whoneedsmoney
Sure, I guess.
00:51:28
Chris
But I guess if I got a robot brain, my memory is, you know, perfect.
00:51:31
whoneedsmoney
Yeah, I got infinitely accessible memory, right?
00:51:34
Chris
Yeah. Would you, would you have to like back it up and then like, yeah.
00:51:38
whoneedsmoney
Well, yeah, I can't let my one week robot shell get destroyed and I'm dead.
00:51:45
whoneedsmoney
Yeah. I'm taking over the satellites, baby.
00:51:54
Chris
The Wi-Fi goes out and you're like, okay, we're back. Okay. Thank God Yeah Yeah Yeah for a lot of people it does yeah
00:51:59
whoneedsmoney
I feel like you'd be evil without intent.
00:52:06
whoneedsmoney
Because you just, you would be ultimately pragmatic and pragmatism appears evil to people. Right? So that would be a downside.
00:52:21
Chris
Yeah. Would you go crazy because you don't sleep?
00:52:27
whoneedsmoney
Do you need sleep or is that your weak human body needs sleep?
00:52:32
Chris
I think it's your body and your brain. Your brain needs time to recharge and process things. But if your brain is a super processor, then I guess you don't need that downtime.
00:52:43
Chris
Your body doesn't need time to rejuvenate and everything.
00:52:48
whoneedsmoney
Right. Yeah.
00:52:49
Chris
Yeah, just drink a can of oil and yeah,
00:52:55
whoneedsmoney
I mean. Yeah. Would you go crazy or would just. Oh, long enough time frame. You would just ah appear crazy. Because you would, like I said, you'd be so pragmatic about things.
00:53:19
whoneedsmoney
You'd have to be a stoic. You'd have to be.
00:53:25
whoneedsmoney
You mean...
00:53:25
Chris
Yeah, because I mean, you're outliving everyone.
00:53:29
Chris
Yeah, what was that freaky Robin Williams movie?
00:53:32
whoneedsmoney
Millennium Man?
00:53:36
Chris
Yeah, that's weird.
00:53:37
whoneedsmoney
Yeah. That was weird and it ended very weird.
00:53:44
whoneedsmoney
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:53:45
Chris
Was it like the granddaughter or something?
00:53:48
whoneedsmoney
Yeah, and he like chose to die as a human. It was weird.
00:53:53
whoneedsmoney
It was weird. Yeah. It was a weird movie. But yeah, you mean the time frame.
00:54:03
whoneedsmoney
But to think of the good you could do, I would give up my sense of touch.
00:54:09
whoneedsmoney
As long as I could still read and I assume you could because you could process information.
00:54:13
Chris
Yeah, you definitely should be able to read.
00:54:19
whoneedsmoney
um You'd get bored. I think that'd be the biggest problem.
00:54:25
whoneedsmoney
Boredom would be the biggest.
00:54:25
Chris
I guess yeah boredom would be yeah before the craziness.
00:54:29
whoneedsmoney
Yeah. Yeah. Because you just...
00:54:32
Chris
Yeah, yeah because I mean,
00:54:34
whoneedsmoney
You would get to a point where you just only think.
00:54:39
Chris
right now, yeah, there's most people six to eight hours a night. You're not doing anything.
00:54:48
Chris
Your mind is processing things and everything while you're resting and it's your dreaming and doing whatever.
00:54:54
whoneedsmoney
And I would say we only think an hour a day because we spent a lot of time forcing ourselves to, to doing other things, to not just think, right?
00:55:02
Chris
just doing yeah yeah right yeah but three hours a day to eat we both work for a fire department we can eat all three meals in about five minutes tops yeah
00:55:09
whoneedsmoney
Like you go to the gym for an hour, you know, you go to, you got to eat that takes two hours, three hours a day, you know, go for a walk. That's an hour a day, you know, there's just.
00:55:26
whoneedsmoney
Fair, but you gotta cook, you gotta go to the grocery store. It's just more than just...
00:55:32
whoneedsmoney
But you're not like thinking while you're cooking, right? You just...
00:55:36
whoneedsmoney
You don't... You rarely ever sit down and think. Just spend 24 hours... Let's think about that thought experiment, like just take 24 hours to do nothing but think.
00:55:47
Chris
Oh, my gosh. I can figure out what time really means.
00:55:54
whoneedsmoney
yeah You could. You could. um
00:55:58
Chris
The other day at lunch somebody, we were talking and somebody was like, I saw this thing Neil deGrasse Tyson was talking about time and how it sounds like, stop right there. Stop. Don't watch any more of it. You'll break yourself. He's like, I watched the whole thing. It was very interesting. I was like, screw you. No. How did that not break your mind?
00:56:14
whoneedsmoney
That way leads to madness.
00:56:20
whoneedsmoney
But yeah. know
00:56:21
whoneedsmoney
i That's an interesting thought experiment. We've got to figure out a way to like, spend 24 hours with no... You'd have to like go to the woods, right?
00:56:32
Chris
Or like one of those isolation chambers.
00:56:35
whoneedsmoney
Oh, that would be maddening.
00:56:38
Chris
and That's it's just you and your thoughts.
00:56:41
whoneedsmoney
Yeah, but the sound. and we maddening That That's what I'm saying.
00:56:45
whoneedsmoney
That's the maddening part.
00:56:45
Chris
Yeah, yeah, that's what I'm saying. Yeah, that's it's just you and your thoughts. Yeah.
00:56:53
Chris
You have to have the water like, I don't know, have something that's going to keep you awake the whole time.
00:57:01
Chris
It's like slow drip feed. of that Just aerosolized caffeine.
00:57:07
whoneedsmoney
True But I think we could pull this off right like We'll take you take you into the woods.
00:57:14
whoneedsmoney
We'll put you we'll set you up a camp.
00:57:16
whoneedsmoney
We'll feed you we'll water you and
00:57:20
Chris
Feed water, yeah. That's what you do for livestock.
00:57:21
whoneedsmoney
And then we'll leave you for, we'll leave you in 20, well, you know, we'll give you a silage and we'll leave you for 24 hours before you don't have to do anything.
00:57:29
Chris
Now. yeah Wait, do I have a tent?
00:57:35
Chris
Okay, do I have a lantern?
00:57:41
Chris
Okay, that's about six. That's gonna be scary at night.
00:57:44
whoneedsmoney
Sure. You have a, it's totally safe. We're there guarding you.
00:57:48
Chris
Oh yeah, yeahs yeah, that's comforting.
00:57:49
whoneedsmoney
You know, but you don't see us because we're in the woods.
00:57:55
whoneedsmoney
um But, you know, 24 hours of, because you're not going to starve to death, because you're not going to starve to 24 hours, you're not going to dehydrate and die from 24 hours.
00:58:06
whoneedsmoney
we'll you know we'll We'll give you water.
00:58:10
whoneedsmoney
And we'll keep you safe. We'll keep you in a tent.
00:58:13
whoneedsmoney
It'll be nice and dry.
00:58:16
whoneedsmoney
But there's no, there's nothing.
00:58:20
whoneedsmoney
You just have to think.
00:58:22
Chris
What if like a little squirrel runs into the campsite?
00:58:25
whoneedsmoney
Well, you'll be in the tent.
00:58:30
whoneedsmoney
We'll keep you isolated in the, you know, we'll make a bubble.
00:58:35
Chris
Like a biodam kind of thing.
00:58:36
whoneedsmoney
You're like a biodome thing. We'll keep all the spiders out.
00:58:38
Chris
All right. Oh, thank goodness.
00:58:41
whoneedsmoney
Yeah. I know. We'll just leave you there.
00:58:42
Chris
Twenty four hours. Godly day. It would either be just total, totally insightful and, you know, like that or I would be a broken, broken person at the end of it.
00:58:57
whoneedsmoney
Yeah, that's kind of my worry.
00:58:58
Chris
I don't think there's there's there's no in between.
00:59:01
whoneedsmoney
Right. Like you're not going to come out of there, but like, ah, whatever. Right.
00:59:05
whoneedsmoney
But you're going to come out there and be like, wow, I, I've never had time to like focus on myself like that.
00:59:12
whoneedsmoney
And be just alone with your, that you're not, ah you're never that alone with your thoughts.
00:59:17
Chris
yeah Maybe that's how I unlock my Jedi powers.
00:59:21
whoneedsmoney
That's quite possibly, I still have been practicing line in the gym.
00:59:26
whoneedsmoney
That was only worked out one time.
00:59:26
Chris
Yeah. Or it breaks you and you just think you have the
00:59:33
whoneedsmoney
Do you think it would break you though?
00:59:37
whoneedsmoney
I don't know.
00:59:37
Chris
there I A 45 minute YouTube video that Neil de Crass Tyson did on time broke me.
00:59:44
whoneedsmoney
Sure, but you you wouldn't have that.
00:59:48
whoneedsmoney
It'd just be you.
00:59:50
whoneedsmoney
And you're free to think whatever you want.
00:59:53
whoneedsmoney
Think about whatever.
00:59:58
whoneedsmoney
How long do you think you could go?
01:00:02
Chris
I mean, I could probably go a day.
01:00:06
whoneedsmoney
I think I could make it a week.
01:00:08
Chris
Whoo, total isolation.
01:00:09
whoneedsmoney
I mean, i total isolation, now we need food and water at this point.
01:00:12
Chris
yeah Yeah, I mean, yeah. OK, we'll say Maslow's, you know, first couple of needs are met.
01:00:17
whoneedsmoney
Right, die our grenades.
01:00:19
Chris
Yeah. Yeah. Food, shelter, security. You got it.
01:00:22
whoneedsmoney
Yep, I think I could make it a week.
01:00:27
whoneedsmoney
I think I could go a week without talking to anybody. I think I'd actually, and I'd relish it.
01:00:33
whoneedsmoney
I think about it all the time now because I used to be able to sit and focus and be quiet and I've become unable to do that anymore.
01:00:46
whoneedsmoney
I think I, I think I want that back because we just, ah you know, your your phone, you're like, Oh, and I always like rationalize myself.
01:00:56
whoneedsmoney
Like, Oh, I'm looking up. Like today I was looking up, uh, one of the guys who followed Oliver Cromwell during the so English Civil Wars I'm reading his Wikipedia page because whatever that's um that's what I do I'm a nerd but I was like oh actually I'm learning but I'm not learning I'm just doom scrolling in a different way I'm doom scrolling history right like I'm still like feeding that itch of looking at my phone or watching TV which I don't watch TV as much but I'm watching YouTube videos or
01:01:32
whoneedsmoney
Something, you know. I think it would be good for me.
01:01:39
Chris
In 2016, Albert Woodfox reentered society after spending more than 40 years in isolation.
01:01:47
whoneedsmoney
Yeah, that guy was a nutbar.
01:01:49
Chris
ah yeah Yeah, most of this says it really depends on the individual. But yeah. Weeks to months can have a negative impact on mental health.
01:02:02
whoneedsmoney
I'm not talking months, but maybe a week to
01:02:03
Chris
Because we're sexual creatures. Yeah. A week?
01:02:10
whoneedsmoney
just unplug from everything.
01:02:13
whoneedsmoney
Like once last time you put your phone down for a week and didn't have YouTube.
01:02:18
Chris
True. I don't know.
01:02:23
whoneedsmoney
Well, I can tell you this, it's been more than 1800 days for me because that's how long my dual lingo streak is.
01:02:33
Chris
Yeah, judging by, yeah, mine's been at least 1,200 days.
01:02:37
whoneedsmoney
Right? So i've I've at least had my phone every day for that many days.
01:02:38
Chris
Yeah. God, and then when you think about it, I mean, that's years. That's almost a decade.
01:02:50
whoneedsmoney
It's like three years.
01:02:52
Chris
three years yeah sorry i was thinking weeks not years yeah or is it really though because what's a day what is a day really because why don't we have 13 months yeah 1328 day months it makes sense right really
01:02:53
whoneedsmoney
Yeah. We're gonna go for it. Yeah.
01:02:59
whoneedsmoney
But... All right, all right. Don't let's not go down that ramp at all.
01:03:08
whoneedsmoney
Well, the Chinese calendar does have 13 months.
01:03:12
whoneedsmoney
No, no, it's 1228 day months and every three years of 13th month.
Time Measurement Musings
01:03:21
whoneedsmoney
Because the so the way the solar calendar works versus the lunar calendar is it's still 1228 day months, but you have to add a month to fix the Deji mess.
01:03:34
Chris
But do you really miss them?
01:03:36
whoneedsmoney
Well, yes, because then all of a sudden like the summer equinox is happening in you know December.
01:03:47
whoneedsmoney
The question really is why don't we have a better lunar calendar?
01:03:53
whoneedsmoney
That's really the question.
01:04:01
Chris
There's somebody out there that's a first time listener going, this Chris guy, he's here to really on something or he is on something.
01:04:09
whoneedsmoney
Maybe both.
01:04:13
whoneedsmoney
Yeah, I just, uh, I kind of want to unplug.
01:04:16
Chris
Yeah, yeah. Yeah, I mean, that's me people do those, you know, weekend retreats and stuff. Just lock yourself in a cabin for a weekend.
01:04:25
whoneedsmoney
But do you?
01:04:28
whoneedsmoney
Yeah, that's insane.
01:04:31
whoneedsmoney
You could, we could find you a cabin.
01:04:34
Chris
Oh, yeah. Sure. Nice padded walls.
01:04:39
whoneedsmoney
We're taking you to a cabin to isolate, Chris.
01:04:43
whoneedsmoney
Of course, ah time is ah i as a construct.
01:04:44
Chris
They're there. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
01:04:47
whoneedsmoney
I know, crime is a construct, yeah.
01:04:49
Chris
There's no clocks. Don't worry. Oh, my gosh.
01:04:55
whoneedsmoney
Yeah, that's where you would get screwed up, is when you mess with your circadian rhythm too much.
01:05:00
whoneedsmoney

I'd like to go back to the old way of sleeping where you sleep and you wake up for like two hours and then you sleep again. That's the more natural way of sleeping.
01:05:33
whoneedsmoney
Uh, no, no, like you, you, you're up during the day. Like you get up with the sun, you do your work for the dead day and then you go to bed and early and then you wake up around midnight and you, they, you would read or do whatever.
01:05:47
whoneedsmoney
And then you would go back to bed.
