00:01:27
ronsenflamedkidney
be hot. and we We took the camper out, the old RV, the family ah RV over the weekend, and wait we boondocked, so we didn't even have power. So we never turned the AC on. It was nice.
00:01:44
Chris
Yeah. Yeah.
00:01:47
ronsenflamedkidney
My wife was like what
00:01:47
Chris
Unfortunately, it's supposed to be 88 the next two days. Yeah.
00:01:52
ronsenflamedkidney
ah wife was like, what about the dogs? I'm like, it's 72 degrees out here. The thing's insulated like a house. what What do you mean, what about the dogs?
00:02:00
Chris
Yeah.
00:02:03
ronsenflamedkidney
Deliver the dream.
00:02:03
Chris
What about the dogs?
00:02:09
ronsenflamedkidney
We drove to shave the dogs.
00:02:10
Chris
Shave. Shave the dogs.
00:02:11
ronsenflamedkidney
Yes. Hold the dog down and shave it. We drove out to York, PA.
00:02:16
Chris
Yeah. Did you get peppermint patty?
00:02:19
ronsenflamedkidney
No.
00:02:21
Chris
Is that where they come from?
00:02:22
ronsenflamedkidney
Well, I think that is a Hershey company. So close to there.
00:02:26
Chris
Yeah. Okay.
00:02:27
ronsenflamedkidney
um No, we drove out to York because we're like, oh, it's Labor Day weekend. I don't want to go anywhere near the beach. We'll go the opposite direction.
00:02:36
Chris
Okay.
00:02:37
ronsenflamedkidney
took No traffic. I to write some had to ride some pretty backwards roads on the old RV. It was fine. But, um you know, like Amish people, like carriages and shit in the way.
00:02:50
ronsenflamedkidney
Horses and buggies.
00:02:51
Chris
Yeah.
00:02:52
ronsenflamedkidney
Yeah, but it was cool. And it's what I've learned is if I'm on vacation and I'm going somewhere my that like that, I'm not in a rush to get there, so it's fine.
00:03:02
Chris
Yeah.
00:03:02
ronsenflamedkidney
Don't plan to be like, I have to be there at 9 a.m. m and then you'll be fine. Right? So we were like...
00:03:08
Chris
Yeah.
00:03:09
ronsenflamedkidney
We just kind of left Nebulous. Like, will we leave or after lunch? And then we'll get there whenever.
00:03:14
Chris
Yeah, that's a good way to do it.
00:03:15
ronsenflamedkidney
We rode into York. And York is super bike-friendly. But getting into York? Not bike-friendly at all.
00:03:23
Chris
Oh, really?
00:03:24
ronsenflamedkidney
Yeah. Yeah, like not bike-friendly.
00:03:26
Chris
there like a moat?
00:03:28
ronsenflamedkidney
It feels like it. It's a very depressed city. Economically, you can tell.
00:03:36
Chris
Oh.
00:03:36
ronsenflamedkidney
driving around.
00:03:38
Chris
Hmm.
00:03:39
ronsenflamedkidney
was and It was a nice trip. It's a beautiful, beautiful country out there and brewery we stay at was really nice. If you're out in the York area, I can't highly recommend the South County Brewing.
00:03:51
ronsenflamedkidney
Yep. After this, I have to go in the RV. I have to get some... I bought a whiskey for our friend Jeffrey. I'll
00:03:59
Chris
Oh, nice. Yeah.
00:04:01
ronsenflamedkidney
have to go get that and give it to him.
00:04:05
Chris
Yeah. See, I took the other um idea and I drove into Ocean City Labor Day weekend.
00:04:05
ronsenflamedkidney
So...
00:04:12
ronsenflamedkidney
that sounds That sounds terrible.
00:04:14
Chris
It was. It was. My my darling daughter when it had a ah birthday party with one of her friends. So I had to drive all the way up to hundred and thirty fourth Street.
00:04:26
ronsenflamedkidney
I'm assuming your daughter who's not old enough to drive.
00:04:29
Chris
Right.
00:04:29
ronsenflamedkidney
Because I would have been like,
00:04:30
Chris
Yeah. The other one's back in college.
00:04:31
ronsenflamedkidney
yeah
00:04:31
Chris
She's gone. Yeah. But yeah.
00:04:35
ronsenflamedkidney
If it had been the daughter that could drive, be like, this sounds like a you problem.
00:04:39
Chris
Oh yeah. No, no, no, no, no. So yeah.
00:04:42
ronsenflamedkidney
134th Street, that's tough to get up there.
00:04:44
Chris
Yeah. It was Montego Bay. Yeah.
00:04:46
ronsenflamedkidney
Ugh, who does that?
00:04:47
Chris
Yeah. Yeah. I don't know, but she had a good sleepover. They, uh, prove that they're, idiot teenagers. They want to get up the next morning, watch sunrise.
00:05:01
Chris
ah They got up at five o'clock.
00:05:05
Chris
Sun doesn't rise till 630.
00:05:07
ronsenflamedkidney
Sure.
00:05:08
Chris
So, yeah. Yep. and they're like, oh, we'll just walk to Starbucks. Well, Starbucks doesn't open till six, I think, or something.
00:05:15
ronsenflamedkidney
Sure.
00:05:16
Chris
So, yeah, yeah. But yeah, she had a good time. So, yeah.
00:05:20
ronsenflamedkidney
Cool.
00:05:22
Chris
I said, you know, we left here at four, we got there at like quarter of six.
00:05:28
ronsenflamedkidney
for twenty minute
00:05:30
Chris
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. But I told her, I said, man, you know, it's dinnertime. I should just see who's working at, you know, station ah four just stop in there for dinner.
00:05:42
Chris
She's like, could you do that? I was like, depending on who's working in Ocean City.
00:05:47
ronsenflamedkidney
Yeah.
00:05:47
Chris
Yes. Yes, I could.
00:05:49
ronsenflamedkidney
There are definitely some people who are working here in the city who I could do that with.
00:05:52
Chris
Yeah.
00:05:53
ronsenflamedkidney
Not many anymore, but...
00:05:54
Chris
Yeah, my luck can be wrathful. I eat everything.
00:05:57
ronsenflamedkidney
Great, they're no full weff. You should have called three days ago.
00:06:01
Chris
If I see it, I eat it.
00:06:03
ronsenflamedkidney
That's true.
00:06:05
Chris
ah
00:06:06
ronsenflamedkidney
Oh, poor Raffle.
00:06:11
ronsenflamedkidney
Yeah,
Teaching Challenges and Educational Experiences
00:06:12
ronsenflamedkidney
we avoided the beach.
00:06:12
Chris
I was weeping today when someone could not easily figure out what how many times three would go into 20.
00:06:26
ronsenflamedkidney
um Okay.
00:06:31
Chris
Yeah.
00:06:33
Chris
We were doing basic drug math.
00:06:36
ronsenflamedkidney
Okay.
00:06:37
Chris
Yeah. And said, okay, well 20. We've broken it down. It was trying to figure out how many drops per minute or drops per second or whatever it was drops per minute.
00:06:48
ronsenflamedkidney
Sure.
00:06:50
Chris
Yeah. And said, okay, well we've got it. So it's 20 mls every or 20 drops every three minutes. So how many will it be in one minute?
00:07:02
Chris
I don't know. I said, well, let's how many times will three go into 20 reaches for the calculator? I said, no, no, no, no. Let's figure this out. Yep. Yep. So, uh, they came up with six eventually.
00:07:17
ronsenflamedkidney
It's not correct, but you know will be we'll we let it slide.
00:07:19
Chris
Well, it's six point, you know, whatever. Yeah. But well, I said, you know, it's going to be repeating that would got a little,
00:07:26
ronsenflamedkidney
does It doesn't go into seven. and
00:07:28
Chris
Yeah, they got a look. I was like, ah but I was like, well, and they were very proud. They're like, yeah, well, three times six. That's and they start looking at their fingers.
00:07:40
Chris
That's 19. Mm hmm.
00:07:41
ronsenflamedkidney
Oh. Oh.
00:07:43
Chris
Mm hmm.
00:07:44
ronsenflamedkidney
Oh.
00:07:45
Chris
Mm hmm. Yeah. I said, well, it's not.
00:07:49
ronsenflamedkidney
ah
00:07:50
Chris
Mm hmm. Also asked, what's 20 times 10? Reach for a calculator.
00:07:57
Chris
Mm hmm.
00:08:00
Chris
I looked at the training officer and I said, I'm out.
00:08:08
Chris
Yeah.
00:08:11
ronsenflamedkidney
I will say I have reached a bad time in my memorization field and it's your fault actually.
00:08:19
Chris
My fault.
00:08:20
ronsenflamedkidney
Yeah, because when it comes to remembering drug dosages, I just look at hand heavy.
00:08:25
Chris
Oh, yeah. Yeah.
00:08:26
ronsenflamedkidney
So now I'm just like totally, if you were to ask me outside of that, like what's the dosage for this? I'd be like, you're, have no idea.
00:08:34
Chris
Half a box.
00:08:35
ronsenflamedkidney
Yeah, one box, two boxes, I don't know.
00:08:41
ronsenflamedkidney
i I've never... i mean, I was good at it at one point, but I've never really liked how we approach drug medicine in the paramedicine world.
00:08:49
Chris
Yeah. Yeah.
00:08:51
ronsenflamedkidney
Because, like, we do drug calculations in our head at 3 o'clock in the morning, there's no way that's going to be right.
00:08:56
Chris
Oh, yeah. Yeah.
00:08:57
ronsenflamedkidney
And Hantavy solved that for me to the point where i'm like, good enough?
00:09:00
Chris
yeah
00:09:01
ronsenflamedkidney
I don't have to keep up with this anymore.
00:09:01
Chris
Yeah. Yep.
00:09:05
Chris
Yep.
00:09:05
ronsenflamedkidney
Which is not great.
00:09:06
Chris
Let's say they were you converting the you know pounds to kilograms. was like, oh that's really easy. Just to divide by 2.2. hu
00:09:13
ronsenflamedkidney
Yeah, yeah.
00:09:14
Chris
Cut it in half. Take 10% away.
00:09:16
ronsenflamedkidney
Yep.
00:09:17
Chris
How do you figure out 10%? hope
00:09:18
ronsenflamedkidney
Oh,
00:09:19
Chris
ha what but ha What? ah well I'm sorry. let's but Let's put this in terms you might understand. The patient weighs four stones and...
00:09:32
Chris
Oh, God.
00:09:33
ronsenflamedkidney
Yeah, yeah. It's, uh, you know.
00:09:36
Chris
It's sad. And the person was like, well, I haven't had to do math you know since school. And that was you know like six years but ah six years ago or something.
00:09:42
ronsenflamedkidney
Two years ago.
00:09:45
Chris
yeah I was like, I haven't been in a math class since 1999. Shut up. Yeah. Yeah. nine
00:09:50
ronsenflamedkidney
Right.
00:09:50
Chris
sh
00:09:53
ronsenflamedkidney
Yeah, the last math class I took was math for non-math majors in 1998.
00:09:59
Chris
yeah
00:10:01
ronsenflamedkidney
Yeah.
00:10:01
Chris
I took stats in 99. Well, I mean, I took organic cam after that. i mean, that's a lot of math, but yeah, I enjoyed that though.
00:10:06
ronsenflamedkidney
there's a lot math.
00:10:08
Chris
Man, the giant equations. oh yeah
00:10:10
ronsenflamedkidney
I hated organic chem.
00:10:13
Chris
loved it. Loved it.
00:10:14
ronsenflamedkidney
Organic chem was the reason I was like, I can't be a science major.
00:10:19
Chris
Hmm.
00:10:20
ronsenflamedkidney
I loved biology, could not stand organic chem. And I would not have made it through. i would have, nah. No.
00:10:27
Chris
Yeah.
00:10:27
ronsenflamedkidney
We know live this life.
00:10:28
Chris
Nice. I was so much fun. We made aspirin. It's great.
00:10:33
ronsenflamedkidney
Yeah.
00:10:34
Chris
Yeah.
00:10:34
ronsenflamedkidney
Yeah. I'd just go buy a bottle aspirin.
00:10:37
Chris
Yeah. It's force of fun in that.
00:10:40
ronsenflamedkidney
ah I enjoyed the walk.
00:10:49
ronsenflamedkidney
Yeah.
00:10:50
Chris
Yeah.
00:10:51
ronsenflamedkidney
Math is...
00:10:51
Chris
The walk is good sometimes.
00:10:53
ronsenflamedkidney
It's actually funny because on Duolingo they now have math courses.
00:10:56
Chris
I saw that.
00:10:56
ronsenflamedkidney
And so I've been doing them.
00:10:57
Chris
Yeah. Really?
00:11:00
ronsenflamedkidney
Yes. And I've gotten to a point where it's tough. It's like, ooh, I don't remember this part. Like, it's pretty quick you're into algebra, and I'm like, oh, i this was 30 years ago. Cool.
00:11:15
ronsenflamedkidney
But, oh, I just have to re-chess it. um
00:11:18
Chris
Oh, God.
00:11:19
ronsenflamedkidney
I enjoy, because somebody at work was like, why are you doing math? I'm like, oh, because, you know, keep your brain active. Like, still keeps you engaged.
00:11:25
Chris
Yeah.
00:11:29
Chris
Yeah, that's why I still...

ronsenflamedkidney
It's insane.
00:12:53
ronsenflamedkidney
But I came home from the gym today.
00:12:53
Chris
ah
00:12:59
ronsenflamedkidney
And we my wife and I, had we were talking and she was like, oh, I'm getting Halloween placemats to replace the Halloween placemats that are already out because I don't like those Halloween placemats.
00:13:10
ronsenflamedkidney
I was like, okay, ah we use face masks every time.
00:13:11
Chris

00:13:14
ronsenflamedkidney
We talk about it.
00:13:15
Chris

00:13:15
ronsenflamedkidney
We're not animals. So,
00:13:19
ronsenflamedkidney
but i'm I'm a messy eater, so I use a placemat. So I thought she was joking because we already had Halloween placemats out. So I was like, ha ha ha ha. That's funny joke. I covered back in the gym. There's a new set of Halloween placemats out and Halloween napkins.
00:13:35
ronsenflamedkidney
By the way, they suck.
00:13:35
Chris

00:13:44
Chris
Haven't washed them yet? Do you... Hmm.
00:13:46
ronsenflamedkidney
They're like cheap rayon. They're never going to be. You watch them. They're never going to good. They're terrible. So living like this, like an animal. I have to like hide the regular napkin so I can still use them.
00:13:57
Chris
This little store of napkins.
00:14:01
Chris
ah Well, see, I... When I went under the house the other day, i said, well, I brought all the little totes. And she said, well, those are the Halloween ones. I was like, I thought that's what you meant. and No, no, no, no.

Chris

00:14:37
Chris

00:15:35
ronsenflamedkidney
Oh, it's so hot out. You can't... I don't... It's... I went...
00:15:38
Chris
She's in Massachusetts, so it's a little bit cooler.
00:15:40
ronsenflamedkidney
That's fair. I went to...
00:15:41
Chris
But i ah I also, I drink coffee every day, even when it's, you know, 100 degrees outside. I still drink coffee in the morning.
00:15:47
ronsenflamedkidney
That's fair. Yeah. But I went to the liquor store the day look at the random beers and almost bought a T.H.G. um accidentally.
00:15:59
ronsenflamedkidney
ah
00:15:59
Chris
Yeah.
00:16:00
ronsenflamedkidney
But ah I was like, Jesus, there's so many fall pumpkin beers out of already and it's like 82 degrees outside.
00:16:05
Chris
Yeah.
00:16:06
ronsenflamedkidney
It's not ready for this yet.
00:16:07
Chris
but There are stores that are selling actual pumpkins.
00:16:12
ronsenflamedkidney
It's crazy.
00:16:12
Chris
was like, yeah, put that on your doorstep. You're going to have a rotten pumpkin.
00:16:16
ronsenflamedkidney
Mm-hmm.
00:16:17
Chris
Hmm.
00:16:19
ronsenflamedkidney
Yeah. Let you enjoy your fall from, you know, late September to late November.
00:16:26
Chris
Yeah.
00:16:26
ronsenflamedkidney
Then you can throw up your Christmas crap. Yeah. My wife today. She's like, she's like, we'll compromise.
00:16:31
Chris
Yeah. That's going good.
00:16:36
ronsenflamedkidney
You can decorate for for Christmas.
00:16:36
Chris
come
00:16:39
ronsenflamedkidney
And I said, I've not decorated for Christmas in the 20 plus years we've been together. Why would that be a compromise for me?
00:16:47
Chris
Yeah, that's...
00:16:51
ronsenflamedkidney
She was like, no, you're really into Christmas.
00:16:51
Chris
yeah
00:16:53
ronsenflamedkidney
I'm like, what are you talking about? I
00:16:56
Chris
She's trying to ghastly you.
00:16:57
ronsenflamedkidney
i think think if you ask anyone who knows me, Father Christmas, not on that list of ah nicknames.
00:17:00
Chris
um
00:17:03
Chris
Yeah. ah You've always been... Yeah.
00:17:08
ronsenflamedkidney
I know. She was like, oh, we could buy this eight-foot Chewbacca. He's only $300. And I'm like, why would I want that? She's like, for Christmas. Like, what the fuck are you talking about?
00:17:19
Chris
Wait, one, I can kind of appreciate the foot Chewbacca, but hat what does that have to do with the holidays?
00:17:25
ronsenflamedkidney
so
00:17:29
ronsenflamedkidney
I think he's got a Santa hat on.
00:17:31
Chris
Is it going to be like your werewolf that wears different clothing throughout the year?
00:17:38
ronsenflamedkidney
Oh, buddy. Oh, we're past that point.
00:17:40
Chris
Okay.
00:17:42
ronsenflamedkidney
We've got a 12-foot skeleton now. We're those people.
00:17:46
Chris
Okay.
00:17:47
ronsenflamedkidney
We're already getting his outfits ready.
00:17:51
ronsenflamedkidney
That thing ain't coming down.
00:17:53
Chris
Oh, yeah, no, that's, yeah, that's a commitment there. Yeah.
00:17:56
ronsenflamedkidney
Yeah, yeah. Yeah, she's like, oh well, you know, we'll just move him every couple. I say that thing weighs like 300 pounds. I'm not moving him once. I'm putting him up right now and he's never moving again.
00:18:03
Chris
Move it every now
00:18:06
ronsenflamedkidney
I wanted to put him behind the RV so that his hands were up on the top of the RV and it looked like he was humping it. But I apparently wasn't allowed to do that.
00:18:13
Chris
again. That's nice.
00:18:18
Chris
Why not?
00:18:19
ronsenflamedkidney
i don't know. ah this I had to pick the damn thing up from Agent Tom Depot and I look like an asshole.
00:18:26
Chris
Was that your mother who got you that?
00:18:28
ronsenflamedkidney
Yes. Yeah.
00:18:29
Chris
Yeah. She could have clicked delivery, but instead she clicked pick up at store.
00:18:34
ronsenflamedkidney
Yeah. Yeah.
00:18:35
Chris
Yeah.
00:18:36
ronsenflamedkidney
Box did not fit into the Subaru. Just so you know.
00:18:39
Chris
Was it on the roof?
00:18:41
ronsenflamedkidney
No. I literally opened it up and took every piece out and was shoving it in the back of the Subaru in 100 degree weather.
00:18:45
Chris
oh Oh, I bet you had some really nice things to say.
00:18:47
ronsenflamedkidney
It was great.
00:18:51
ronsenflamedkidney
Yeah, I was real happy.
00:18:53
Chris
Yeah.
00:18:53
ronsenflamedkidney
And I had just gotten off work.
00:18:56

00:19:39
Chris
So yesterday 10 o'clock, they get there. i guess I hadn't asked all the questions. so i was like, so these are like pre-K, like four-year-olds. She's like, oh, this is our birth to under five group.

00:20:01
Chris
She's like, but they're don't worry, their parents or their caretaker will come with. Okay. I said, well, this will be easy because little kids like that, you can't give a tour to.
00:20:10
ronsenflamedkidney
Right.
00:20:10
Chris
They don't care about anything. It's just look at the big fire truck.
00:20:13
ronsenflamedkidney
Right.
00:20:13
Chris
So I said, to all the parents and adults, I said, look, where you're at here. This is a working firehouse. So, you know, just be mindful. We're gonna try to stay on this side, but, you know,
00:20:24
Chris
keep an eye on your kid because there are things out here like, you know, even the steps could hurt them. You know, if they get their finger called in something they're like, oh, OK, OK. So I look and at one of the hose reels, there is a puddle underneath it and little ah i Sam.
00:20:35
ronsenflamedkidney
Thank you.
00:20:42
Chris
He's over there stomping in it. it was like, OK, and the parents like boys will find puddles or something like that. I'm like, yeah, I guess. Sure. Whatever.
00:20:55
Chris
Well, then I turn because one of the adults is asking me the halfway decent question. to ask about the climb event, how it works and such. that yeah Explain that. Now, the corner of my eye, i see more movement over by this puddle.
00:21:07
Chris
This child, it could have been three, down on hands and knees and slurps out a big old mouthful of that water.
00:21:14
ronsenflamedkidney
oh oh
00:21:19
Chris
and I go, oh, and.

ronsenflamedkidney

00:21:50
ronsenflamedkidney
We don't mean that.
00:21:50
Chris
Well, then another... Well, then another parent, she comes up to me. She was like, hi where can I put this? I said, well, what is this? She's like, oh, well, I took so-and-so over there.
00:22:02
Chris
i keep a potty in the stroller. So they went potty, but I just need to dispose of the tinkle. Well, the city was kind enough to get us indoor plumbing.
00:22:14
Chris
So I said,
00:22:14
ronsenflamedkidney
Take that to the bathroom! What are you talking
00:22:15
Chris
i said I said, there's a bathroom right there, and it's clearly marked. She's like, oh, okay. She walks out and pours it in the grass.
00:22:23
ronsenflamedkidney
What the fuck?
00:22:25
Chris
I'm standing next Sergeant Scott, and he's like, did she just? I was like, let it go, my friend. Let it go.

00:22:38
ronsenflamedkidney
Oh, man.
00:22:38
Chris

00:22:57
ronsenflamedkidney
ah
00:22:58
Chris
He was like, where did that come from? i was like, she said she took him off or them off to the side, so I don't know. Somewhere there may or may not be a pile a puddle of urine. Yeah.
00:23:10
Chris
Yeah. yeah
00:23:13
ronsenflamedkidney
It's so much nicer being in Station 1 because they don't bother us like that.
00:23:15
Chris
Yeah. Yeah.
00:23:17
ronsenflamedkidney
we We get the random like kid that drops in. He's like, hey, you got a four-houser? Sure, come on in. It takes you 30 seconds, and it's like 15 seconds now because half the building under construction, so it's easy.
00:23:23
Chris
Yep.
00:23:27
Chris
Yeah.
00:23:29
ronsenflamedkidney
Yeah. yeah so that's That's gross.
00:23:32
Chris
Yeah. but the The one drinking the puddle though, that's just, ah that kid's going to the strongest immune system ever, or it's going to be hospitalized.
00:23:36
ronsenflamedkidney
That's awful.
00:23:40
ronsenflamedkidney
Or be in a box.
00:23:41
Chris
Yeah.
00:23:44
ronsenflamedkidney
Oh, my God.
00:23:45
Chris
Yeah.
00:23:47
ronsenflamedkidney
Ugh.
00:23:47
Chris
ah Yeah.
00:23:50
ronsenflamedkidney
Gross.
00:23:53
ronsenflamedkidney
Well, that fun note, ready to move on to topic one?
00:23:54
Chris
Yeah. Yeah. Sure. Topic one. Diphtheria
00:23:58
ronsenflamedkidney
ah So... Yeah.
00:24:00
Chris
and what it can do for you.
00:24:05
ronsenflamedkidney
Let me talk about my weight loss plan called Diarrhea Caused by Typhoid.
Actors' Career Challenges and Transitions
00:24:10
Chris
Yeah.
00:24:10
ronsenflamedkidney
was thinking about this the other day randomly.
00:24:10
Chris
Golly day.
00:24:14
ronsenflamedkidney
It just randomly popped my head. Are the Spider-Man movies cursed? And specifically... are the people who play Spider-Man cursed to not be able to work again?
00:24:28
Chris
I.
00:24:32
ronsenflamedkidney
Because Tobey Maguire, who was sort of famous before he was in um Spider-Man, you never see him in anything any anymore, post-Spider-Man.
00:24:41
Chris
Yeah.
00:24:45
Chris
Yeah.
00:24:47
ronsenflamedkidney
um Tom Holland...
00:24:49
Chris
Andrew Garfield.
00:24:50
ronsenflamedkidney
Andrew Garfield was Hacksaw Ridge. It's a fine movie. I find him super... And I think part of it is like what makes him good as Spider-Man makes him bad at every other role.
00:25:05
Chris
yeah
00:25:06
ronsenflamedkidney
And then Tom Holland has been in couple... He's in an Uncharted movie that was supposedly terrible. I didn't watch it.
00:25:13
Chris
The movie itself wasn't bad.
00:25:17
ronsenflamedkidney
But that's it. I can't think of anything else he's really been in.
00:25:20
Chris
Oh, he's been in other things. Let's see.
00:25:27
Chris
yeah Since Spider-Man, he hasn't been in a lot.
00:25:29
ronsenflamedkidney
Yeah, I think playing Spider-Man is it's a curse.
00:25:30
Chris
Damn it.
00:25:34
Chris
Yeah.
00:25:38
Chris
Yeah, I mean, No Way Home 2021. Uncharted 22. That's, o That's not good.
00:25:47
ronsenflamedkidney
Yeah.
00:25:48
Chris
Huh. Huh. Well, I mean, there's another Spider-Man coming out soon. Brand new day, so he'll be in that.
00:25:55
ronsenflamedkidney
Well, yeah, of course. yeah Look, I'm not, look, he gets to keep working in Spider-Man. I'm not taking that part from him. I just, for some weird reason.
00:26:01
Chris
Huh. Oh. He's going to be in the Odyssey.
00:26:06
ronsenflamedkidney
Oh, okay. We'll see if that's any good. I don't have high hopes.
00:26:12
Chris
Not that I do, but.
00:26:14
ronsenflamedkidney
I again, I think part of being Spider-Man makes you unbelievable in other things.
00:26:17
Chris
I mean.
00:26:23
ronsenflamedkidney
It's weird.
00:26:25
Chris
Hmm. It's the Parker curse.
00:26:27
ronsenflamedkidney
yeah I think it might be the Parker curse.
00:26:31
ronsenflamedkidney
It also got me thinking about this morning. and I was thinking about like.
00:26:38
ronsenflamedkidney
Jamie Lee Curtis. Like Jamie Lee Curtis.
00:26:39
Chris
Yeah.
00:26:40
ronsenflamedkidney
When we were kids. Like when we were very young kids.
00:26:43

00:27:07
Chris
yeah ah She was in My Girl.
00:27:13
ronsenflamedkidney
It's right around the same time as True Lies, probably.
00:27:17

Yeah.
00:27:19
Chris

ronsenflamedkidney
like
00:32:47
Chris

Well, he needs the money.
00:32:59
Chris

00:33:01
ronsenflamedkidney
Yeah, that's ah ah another perfect example.
00:33:02
Chris
Aren't you the demolition man?
00:33:04
ronsenflamedkidney
At one point, Wesley Snipes was everywhere.
00:33:07

ronsenflamedkidney
So what do you do for 20 years for money?
00:33:38
Chris

00:33:41
ronsenflamedkidney
This is why I'm not an actor and my notable soul lack of talent or charisma.
00:33:45
Chris
Hmm.
00:33:46
ronsenflamedkidney
But I just, I need to have a, this is my job. Like it's weird. It's a weird thought process to me.

Chris

00:43:43
ronsenflamedkidney
Oh, what have I been reading?
00:43:44
Chris

00:43:44
ronsenflamedkidney
Oh, ah right now I'm reading James Holland's Rise of Germany, 1939 1941, I believe it's called.
00:43:56
ronsenflamedkidney
Uh, super exciting.
00:43:56
Chris
Oh, okay. Mm-hmm.
00:43:59
ronsenflamedkidney
Uh, hold on. to pop out my Kindle. Um,
00:44:04
Chris
I've been reading the Bloodsworn Saga. It's a trio of books by John Gwynn.
00:44:08
ronsenflamedkidney
Oh, wait, I think I, hold on second. I think I almost bought that the other day.
00:44:14
Chris
The Shadow of the Gods.
00:44:15
ronsenflamedkidney
Um, yes. Uh, no, different one.
00:44:18
Chris
Oh.
00:44:19
ronsenflamedkidney
Uh, I, this one is the shadow of what was lost by James, uh, Ilson.
00:44:21
Chris
Mm-hmm.
00:44:25
Chris
Oh yeah. This is like, there's some magic in it, but it's like a mythic Norse trilogy.
00:44:35
ronsenflamedkidney
Oh, that's cool.
00:44:36
Chris
So yeah. Yeah. It's very interesting. So, and the guy evidently is like a very big, like Norse historian. So it's, i mean, they don't, you know they don't use like Odin and Thor and stuff. They've got their own pantheon, but it's, it's pretty interesting.
00:44:52
Chris
So. It like follows three main characters. It's like every chapter it's like Fargus or Orca or, you know, whatever. So yeah.
00:45:03
ronsenflamedkidney
That's pretty cool.
00:45:05
Chris
Yeah. Yeah. I got it.
00:45:06
ronsenflamedkidney
I, uh,
00:45:06
Chris
I was on vacation in the Outer Banks and I was like, I've seen this, you know, advertised. Maybe I'll grab it. So I grabbed it and yeah, I'm now in the second book and they are big books.
00:45:16
ronsenflamedkidney
Nice.
00:45:17
Chris
Yeah.
00:45:17
ronsenflamedkidney
Yeah, the Shadow is Lost series, same thing.
00:45:21
Chris
Hmm.
00:45:21
ronsenflamedkidney
We always tried it whenever we go somewhere. We try to find a bookstore, a local bookstore, and buy books.
00:45:25
Chris
Yep.
00:45:26
ronsenflamedkidney
And the books were very big and wouldn't fit in our basket to write back.
00:45:31
Chris
Oh.
00:45:32
ronsenflamedkidney
So I was like, well, can't buy these books.
00:45:34
Chris
Yeah.
00:45:34
ronsenflamedkidney
Bought couple other books that are boring titles that nobody cares about but me.
00:45:37
Chris
yeah
00:45:38
ronsenflamedkidney
But I did just finish, for the second time, the Dungeon Crawler Carl series.
00:45:46
Chris
Oh, yeah?
00:45:47
ronsenflamedkidney
Well, I didn't finish the series because the series isn't finished yet.
00:45:51
Chris
Yeah. yeah
00:45:52
ronsenflamedkidney
God damn it, K-bassar. ah It's very good.
00:45:55
Chris
I bet he'll finish it before George Railroad Martin finishes his shit.
00:45:59
ronsenflamedkidney
i Let's just give up. He's not finishing.
00:46:03
Chris
Yeah. Yeah.
00:46:05
ronsenflamedkidney
He's not...
00:46:05
Chris
No, he's sitting on his fat ass somewhere laughing.
00:46:09
ronsenflamedkidney
Yeah.
00:46:10
Chris
God.
00:46:10
ronsenflamedkidney
Yeah. I just don't think... I've kind of... I've given up on the dream that I'm ever going to get the end of Game of Thrones.
00:46:17
Chris
Yeah.
00:46:17
ronsenflamedkidney
sir
00:46:18
Chris
Well, I mean, the TV series wrapped it up so succinctly.
00:46:21
ronsenflamedkidney
It's a up perfectly. It was almost perfect.
00:46:24
Chris
Yes. Yes.
00:46:24
ronsenflamedkidney
and
00:46:25
Chris
Yeah. Which side tangent to that, Sophie Turner is going to be Laura Croft Tomb Raider in the next live action adaptation.
00:46:35
ronsenflamedkidney
I hope she does better than she did as Jean Grey.
00:46:39
Chris
Oh, really? You didn't like her as Jean?
00:46:42
ronsenflamedkidney
I did not like her as Jean Grey.
00:46:44
Chris
It wasn't just that.
00:46:44
ronsenflamedkidney
um
00:46:45
Chris
It was just those movies were bad.
00:46:48
ronsenflamedkidney
Those movies were bad, but specifically I did not like her as Jean Grey. um i always, and this is,
00:46:52
Chris
No.
00:46:55
Chris
I don't think Gene was that aloof and mean-spirited.
00:46:58
ronsenflamedkidney
right, Jean is so much more personal to me and more adventurous than, she just played her as very cold and i just was like, ah, come on, man.
00:47:01
Chris
Yeah.
00:47:06
Chris
Yeah.
00:47:10
ronsenflamedkidney
Like, Jean is not that person.
00:47:10
Chris
Yeah. No.
00:47:12
ronsenflamedkidney
Now, Dark Phoenix, but its it's rage. It's not disinterest, right?
00:47:17
Chris
Yeah.
00:47:18
ronsenflamedkidney
Like, yeah.
00:47:18
Chris
Yeah. Yeah. Like teen angst.
00:47:23
ronsenflamedkidney
Well, like, i just never really think, because Jean's kind of, like, comes in later into the X-Men kind of thing, right?
00:47:23
Chris
Yeah.
00:47:30
ronsenflamedkidney
And she's...
00:47:30
Chris
No, she was one the original five.
00:47:32
ronsenflamedkidney
Is sure the original five? It's Iceman.
00:47:33
Chris
Yeah. Yeah. Marvel Girl.
00:47:36
ronsenflamedkidney
Oh, yeah. guess that's fair.
00:47:37
Chris
Yeah. Marvel Girl, Iceman, Beast, Angel, Cyclops.
00:47:40
ronsenflamedkidney
east yeah I just always feel her her she's just much more bubbly than she was played.
00:47:46
Chris
Oh, yeah.
00:47:46
ronsenflamedkidney
Like the girl who played Rogue in the first X-Men movies I thought would have been a great Jean Grey.
00:47:50
Chris
Yeah.
00:47:53
Chris
Yeah. Yeah. Well, she was a horrible rogue, so.
00:47:55
ronsenflamedkidney
She was a pretty bad Rogue.
00:47:57
Chris
Yeah. Yeah.
00:47:59
ronsenflamedkidney
Well Rogue's a tough character too because they played her as a teenager. She's not really a teenager.
00:48:03
Chris
Yeah, right.
00:48:04
ronsenflamedkidney
Right?
00:48:04
Chris
Yeah.
00:48:04
ronsenflamedkidney
Like you know it's tough.
00:48:07
Chris
Yeah.
00:48:07
ronsenflamedkidney
There were some weird decisions X-Men.
00:48:07
Chris
Well, when you have somebody like Singer who's like, oh, we have all this source material. I wipe my ass with this.
00:48:13
ronsenflamedkidney
Yeah, they just made some really...
00:48:14
Chris
So.
00:48:15
ronsenflamedkidney
All the X-Men movies, they need to be...
00:48:18
Chris
Yeah.
00:48:20
ronsenflamedkidney
They need to be loved by someone who makes them instead of just made to be made.
00:48:22
Chris
Yeah.
00:48:25
Chris
Yeah. Well, maybe the next one will.
00:48:27
ronsenflamedkidney
Maybe. Is there an X-Men coming out?
00:48:30
Chris
Yeah, they're supposed to be.
00:48:31
ronsenflamedkidney
and don't even follow them anymore.
00:48:32
Chris
That's the whole thing with Marvel now. there we're We're entering the mutant saga or something.
00:48:37
ronsenflamedkidney
But thought X-Men was owned by Sony still.
00:48:40
Chris
Oh no, it's all bought out. and yeah
00:48:42
ronsenflamedkidney
and
00:48:43
Chris
That's why we've gotten beast in a couple of the end credits scenes so far.
00:48:49
ronsenflamedkidney
ah
00:48:50
Chris
Yeah.
00:48:52
ronsenflamedkidney
I'm 70% off of the Marvel train right now, so it's, you know, I don't know what it'll take win me back.
00:48:54
Chris
Oh yeah. Yeah. yeah Yeah. We'll see what they do. I... Tom Holland.
00:49:06
Chris
yeah
00:49:06
ronsenflamedkidney
well
00:49:06
Chris
Fantastic Four was fine.
00:49:08
ronsenflamedkidney
I haven't seen it yet, to be fair.
00:49:10
Chris
Yeah. ah Just wait for it to come out.
00:49:11
ronsenflamedkidney
But I've not really heard anybody like gushing about how great Fantastic Four was.
00:49:18
Chris
i wouldn't No, it's definitely not in the top 10 Marvel movies.
00:49:22
ronsenflamedkidney
Right. Which doesn't make me want to run out and go see it.
00:49:25
Chris
Yeah.
00:49:26
ronsenflamedkidney
You know, like everybody's like, yeah, it was a movie.
00:49:30
Chris
Yeah.
00:49:30
ronsenflamedkidney
No one's like, it's, it's dog shit terrible, but no one's like, yeah, it was exciting.
00:49:33
Chris
right
00:49:34
ronsenflamedkidney
You know? And I don't know. don't know what Marvel's doing. I don't know what's going on over there. that they're screwing up.
00:49:42
Chris
Kevin Feige is laying in his pool of money like Scrooge McDuck yeah yeah yeah oh yeah yeah yeah
00:49:47
ronsenflamedkidney
That's fair. but the you know Keep making your money because people are still going to pay you money. you know But it is weird what's going on. And it's because Fantastic Four is weird too because not a lot of people are invested in those characters.
00:50:07
Chris
Yeah.
00:50:07
ronsenflamedkidney
feels like a very old timey stodgy even when we were kids it felt like an old timey stodgy comic to me you know
00:50:14
Chris
Oh, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, that was like... Yeah, I mean... My parents read Fantastic Four.
00:50:20
ronsenflamedkidney
yeah that's kind of how it felt like me and so when i i was never really like into them
00:50:22
Chris
Yeah. Yeah.
00:50:27
Chris
No. No. I just remember I had a couple of the comics... When Sue Storm goes bad or whatever. has like the black letter... outfit oh yeah yeah ah but yeah yeah no no not at all yeah yeah
00:50:38
ronsenflamedkidney
Oh, don't remember that. I bet.
00:50:45
ronsenflamedkidney
Yeah, and I don't know why Fantastic Four has never been one that I care about, but you know you don't have to care about all of them. But I did care about X-Men, and boy, I've not felt like any of the X-Men.
00:51:00
ronsenflamedkidney
We've talked about this before, that I think Hugh Jackman did a really good job as Wolverine, but those movies are all dog shit
00:51:02
Chris
mm-hmm
00:51:07
Chris
Oh, yeah. yeah Yeah.
00:51:08
ronsenflamedkidney
Like, they are hard to watch again.
00:51:10
Chris
Yeah. Yeah. And there's like some little pieces of it. You're like, oh, here's a glimmer. where Like Nightcrawler in the second one.
00:51:18
ronsenflamedkidney
Yeah. Yeah, that car is good.
00:51:20
Chris
Yeah, it was done. He was done really well. Yeah.
00:51:23
ronsenflamedkidney
The angel thing they did was terrible.
00:51:25
Chris
yeah They did a really good job with Juggernaut.
00:51:30
ronsenflamedkidney
Yeah.
00:51:31
Chris
and No, they didn't.
00:51:31
ronsenflamedkidney
with Witch Juggernaut.
00:51:32
Chris
So bad. The one in with X3 or whatever.
00:51:36
ronsenflamedkidney
Yeah, that's terrible.
00:51:38
Chris
Yeah.
00:51:39
ronsenflamedkidney
yeah
00:51:39
Chris
Yeah. Oh, no. Now, yeah, I will say the Deadpool movies have done very well.
00:51:45
ronsenflamedkidney
yeah that's it that's I guess that's kind of my thing about them is like just make movies that people because I think people want you to they want to know that you love the source material as much as that right like it's my conversation about Rogue One I feel like the guys who made Rogue One the guys and gals I'm using guys as pat I don't know who was in who made it but I feel like they loved Star Wars
00:51:52
Chris
Yeah.
00:51:55
Chris
Yeah. yeah
00:52:04
Chris
Yeah. Right. Yeah.
00:52:08
ronsenflamedkidney
And they made Rogue One. Deadpool. Clearly they love Deadpool.
00:52:13
Chris
Yeah.
00:52:14
ronsenflamedkidney
And they made Deadpool.
00:52:14
Chris
Yeah. Yeah. Well, I think James Gunn, you know, clearly loves DC. I mean, the wet, what he's doing with Superman and i mean, Guy Gardner, come on.
00:52:26
ronsenflamedkidney
Sure. Yeah.
00:52:27
Chris
So, and which have, have you watched any peacemaker?
00:52:31
ronsenflamedkidney
Just the first season.
00:52:33
Chris
God, I started watching the second season. bizarre.
00:52:37
ronsenflamedkidney
Oh yeah.
00:52:38
Chris
Yeah.
00:52:38
ronsenflamedkidney
it was kind of bizarre first season too.
00:52:38
Chris
yeah
00:52:39
ronsenflamedkidney
so
00:52:39
Chris
Yeah. Yeah. yeah But yeah. So, Yeah, I think the yeah you can see that love in the craft of the story.
00:52:48
ronsenflamedkidney
Yeah, and just that's what people really want. I think i think that's where like everybody's like, oh, well, they did this and I don't like that. Every nerd is going to find something that they don't like about a movie, right?
00:53:00
Chris
Yeah.
00:53:01
ronsenflamedkidney
Every nerd is going to make something they don't like. However, If you just show that craftsmanship, that like that that actual like acknowledgement of the love of that story, they're going to respond to that.
00:53:13
Chris
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
00:53:17
ronsenflamedkidney
Now, I say this knowing that my favorite comic book movie of all time is really not close to the books. But I also want you to bring that character back and make another movie. so
00:53:29
Chris
Wait, which one?
00:53:31
ronsenflamedkidney
My favorite comic book character movie of all time? Come on.
00:53:35
Chris
Your favorite.
00:53:37
ronsenflamedkidney
You even know who my favorite comic book character is.
00:53:37
Chris
Your favorite.
00:53:40
ronsenflamedkidney
He's a DC character.
00:53:41
Chris
Yeah. um I mean, do you really want to bring back Shazam?
00:53:50
ronsenflamedkidney
I'm offended by everything you just said.
00:53:52
Chris
Oh, God. That was such I know, it's Aquaman. shit
00:53:58
ronsenflamedkidney
i have I have recorded proof that it is not Aquaman.
00:53:59
Chris
yeah I did... Yes.
00:54:03
ronsenflamedkidney
It is Constantine, and I want another Keanu Reeves Constantine movie, for God's sakes.
00:54:05
Chris
Yes. I know. yeah Keanu did a really good job with it, but yeah, it's, it's not really like the comics, but no, but it doesn't have to be.
00:54:15
ronsenflamedkidney
No. It's a...
00:54:18
ronsenflamedkidney
I think Constantine the movie is close enough to the...
00:54:20
Chris
Hmm.
00:54:20
ronsenflamedkidney
com Constantine is such a weird character in the comics that you can kind of do whatever the hell you want.
00:54:22
Chris
Yeah.
00:54:24
Chris
Hmm. Oh yeah. Yeah.
00:54:26
ronsenflamedkidney
You know?
00:54:26
Chris
I mean, just pick a day and yeah.
00:54:28
ronsenflamedkidney
Right. And that that movie is so good, though.
00:54:29
Chris
Yeah. Well, I mean the biggest thing is he wasn't British and he wasn't blonde.
00:54:34
ronsenflamedkidney
He was not British.
00:54:37
Chris
There you go Other than that, he really did act like Constantine.
00:54:38
ronsenflamedkidney
He also never wore He never really wore a trench coat.
00:54:42
Chris
He didn't wear a brown one, but he had like a black coat at one point.
00:54:42
ronsenflamedkidney
You know. Yeah. Like a bike coat, but he didn't really wear his brown trench coat.
00:54:46
Chris
Yeah. ah Yeah. yeah
00:54:50
ronsenflamedkidney
And they had a good Constantine. I liked that guy from the show.
00:54:54
Chris
Yeah. yeah
00:54:56
ronsenflamedkidney
Killed that off pretty damn quick.
00:54:57
Chris
Right. Well, I mean, Ron Perlman as Hellboy was amazing.
00:55:04
ronsenflamedkidney
Yeah. Yeah.
00:55:05
Chris
But those movies... Sucked at the end.
00:55:11
ronsenflamedkidney
Did they suck or they just...
00:55:12
Chris
Well, no, the first two movies were fine, but well, it was after that. there They switched from Pearlman after that. So yeah, that was the.
00:55:16
ronsenflamedkidney
Oh, oh, oh. I never watched the new one.
00:55:18
Chris
Yeah. No, nearby. I know.
00:55:20
ronsenflamedkidney
Yeah. The Perler ones are great.
00:55:23
Chris
Yeah.
00:55:24
ronsenflamedkidney
Yeah. And I understand why he didn't want to do them anymore. I'm sure it was a giant pain in ass.
00:55:30
Chris
Oh, yeah.
00:55:30
ronsenflamedkidney
Yeah.
00:55:31
Chris
Yeah.
00:55:32
ronsenflamedkidney
because that's not CGI.
00:55:33
Chris
But.
00:55:34
ronsenflamedkidney
That's all makeup.
00:55:35
Chris
Yeah. Yeah.
00:55:36
ronsenflamedkidney
You know, uh, the, uh, no, but make another Constantine movie. This is like, the time is right to get a Keanu, a little bit older Constantine.
00:55:41
Chris
v Yeah.
00:55:47
ronsenflamedkidney
Total cool movie.
00:55:48
Chris
Yeah.
00:55:50
ronsenflamedkidney
I would love it.
00:55:51
Chris
He would do it.
00:55:53
ronsenflamedkidney
I think he would do it.
00:55:54
Chris
Yeah. Keanu, we know you're listening.
00:55:56
ronsenflamedkidney
Right.
00:55:56
Chris
Do it.
00:55:57
ronsenflamedkidney
Just do it. Just do it.
00:56:00
Chris
Yeah.
00:56:01
ronsenflamedkidney
Yeah.
00:56:01
Chris
You seem like a cool guy.
00:56:03
ronsenflamedkidney
This has nothing to do with topic two. We are way off the reservation, but it's fine.
00:56:05
Chris
No, it doesn't. Yeah. I'm sorry. Yeah.
00:56:08
ronsenflamedkidney
It's fine because the books I was reading are boring.
00:56:08
Chris
Yeah. Yeah. Nah.
00:56:13
ronsenflamedkidney
They're not boring to me, but they're boring to a lot of other people.
00:56:14
Chris
Yeah, that's the thing. Yeah. I mean, I'm also reading some stupid leadership book or something.
00:56:23
ronsenflamedkidney
I've given up on leadership books.
00:56:24
Chris
i so I mean, i um so I will be frank with those books. I don't really sit down and read, read them. I skim over them more.
00:56:32
ronsenflamedkidney
Sure.
00:56:33
Chris
Yeah.
00:56:33
ronsenflamedkidney
I've tried to read them. I've tried to give them their due.
00:56:38
Chris
Yeah. Yeah.
00:56:41
ronsenflamedkidney
yeah They fall into two categories to me. They fall into this category of, I just made all this bullshit up and it's not true.
00:56:49
Chris
yeah yep
00:56:50
ronsenflamedkidney
Right? Or it's, I'm trying to force a lesson into you. um I think of John Salka's book.
00:56:59
Chris
mm-hmm yeah yeah yeah or like how do you make a whole book out of yeah I don't know whatever
00:56:59
ronsenflamedkidney
I was at this fire at the AT&T building and this really tells you how you can build corporate structure. No, it isn't. What are talking about? yeah're you're full of You're full of shit. And... and
00:57:15
Chris
You know how to talk to your cat, you know?
00:57:18
ronsenflamedkidney
Yeah, and and here's the thing about leadership books. You don't need them. You've already developed your leadership style without even thinking about it.
00:57:27
Chris
Yeah. Oh yeah.
00:57:28
ronsenflamedkidney
you've seen leaders, no matter what job you work in, you've seen leaders, you've seen what leaders are bad, you can choose what kind of leader you want to be when you get that option.
00:57:37
Chris
Yeah.
00:57:39
ronsenflamedkidney
The book's not going to help you.
00:57:39
Chris
Yeah. Yeah. Maybe you might get some tips or ideas, but yeah.
00:57:46
ronsenflamedkidney
Yeah, I've not, I've been very disappointed in like books that people have told me, you have to read this book. And I'm like, well I guess to me, If I have to read that book to learn something about leadership, then there's something lacking in my leadership style that I need to know about.
00:58:02
Chris
Yeah. Yeah.
00:58:03
ronsenflamedkidney
Right.
00:58:04
Chris
Well then then, I'm the type of person i like to read something that I'm actually like, I enjoy reading. I don't want it to be like work.
00:58:10
ronsenflamedkidney
Sure.
00:58:12
Chris
Yeah.
00:58:13
ronsenflamedkidney
Right. Yeah.
00:58:15
Chris
Which is why, i mean, yeah, I still read comics.
00:58:19
ronsenflamedkidney
Yeah, I read World War II history books.
00:58:19
Chris
Yeah.
00:58:21
ronsenflamedkidney
I read sci-fi fantasy books. I don't read firefighting tactics and manuals.
00:58:24
Chris
Yeah.
00:58:26
Chris
Yeah. yeah Which side tangent to the sci-fi stuff. I have tried to read the new star Wars novels. They make it so damn confusing as which ones are in line with this and which ones are yeah young adult.
00:58:39
ronsenflamedkidney
Yeah.
00:58:42
Chris
These are teen. These are the snow. No.
00:58:45
ronsenflamedkidney
I kind of stopped after Athamath. I really liked the Aftermath series.
00:58:48
Chris
Yeah.
00:58:48
ronsenflamedkidney
And then I was like, I need to get off this trailer coaster because it's too bonkers.
00:58:49
Chris
Yeah.
00:58:53
Chris
Yeah. Well, I mean, there were a couple of the one offs like um Brotherhood with Obi one and.
00:58:59
ronsenflamedkidney
Yeah.
00:58:59
Chris
Yeah.
00:58:59
ronsenflamedkidney
Yeah, there's probably great books. And it's just I don't want to get involved in that world.
00:59:03
Chris
Yeah.
00:59:05
ronsenflamedkidney
Because I have 45 or 50, probably, but probably have 100 Star Wars books sitting in my my long-term storage right now.
00:59:05
Chris
Yeah.
00:59:15
ronsenflamedkidney
you know, I've read them all.
00:59:15
Chris
yeah yeah
00:59:18
ronsenflamedkidney
You know, there's a, there's a movie that I would love. I'd love to have the, the Rogue Squadron movie, you sons of bitches.
00:59:23
Chris
Oh, gosh, that would be great.
00:59:25
ronsenflamedkidney
Yeah. But, uh, yeah, I just don't, when I read I want it to have nothing to do with work.
00:59:26
Chris
Hmm.
00:59:33
Chris
Yeah, yeah.
00:59:34
ronsenflamedkidney
I know that that's some people would frown upon that. Right.
00:59:41
Chris
But.
00:59:41
ronsenflamedkidney
But like, I just, it's my free time.
00:59:42
Chris
Yeah, but but it's also yeah, and everybody's different.
00:59:43
ronsenflamedkidney
Yeah.
00:59:45
Chris
I mean, some people that's what gets their goat running.
00:59:51
ronsenflamedkidney
Yeah, there are people who I work with or we work with who when they get off work, they watch fire department videos.
00:59:54
Chris
Yeah.
00:59:58
ronsenflamedkidney
When they're at work, they watch fire department videos.
00:59:58
Chris
Mm hmm. Mm hmm.
01:00:02
ronsenflamedkidney
That's not me.
01:00:03
Chris
Yeah, I'd rather watch a video of some guy getting kicked in the nuts.
01:00:09
ronsenflamedkidney
but i
01:00:09
Chris
Yeah, I'm taking like the America's Funniest Videos kind of thing.
01:00:12
ronsenflamedkidney
Yeah. Yeah, i yeah. I just I guess my and I like I i admire their dedication to the craft.
01:00:19
Chris
Yeah.
01:00:20
ronsenflamedkidney
I don't wanna live that way. right like
01:00:23
Chris
Yeah.
01:00:24
ronsenflamedkidney
you know And i always think about that, I'm like, oh man, I have a lot ah um a lot of like information that I've gathered over my career that I could write some sort of bullshit book about.
01:00:34
Chris
Yeah.
01:00:35
ronsenflamedkidney
you know But it was for kind of hypocritical of me to to write a book about it.
01:00:40
Chris
Yeah.
01:00:42
ronsenflamedkidney
you know It'd be like me going to teach leadership seminars.
01:00:42
Chris
Oh.
01:00:44
ronsenflamedkidney
be like, you don't need this.
01:00:45
Chris
Yeah.
01:00:47
ronsenflamedkidney
You have leaders.
01:00:47
Chris
Really? I figured that's going to be your retirement gig.
01:00:50
ronsenflamedkidney
No, it's definitely not.
01:00:51
Chris
Yeah.
01:00:53
ronsenflamedkidney
It's definitely... that ah The...
01:00:55
Chris
Do you think like accountants when they're off, do they watch like YouTube videos of numbers and stuff?
01:01:00
ronsenflamedkidney
No.
01:01:01
Chris
Yeah.
01:01:02
ronsenflamedkidney
No. They don't. They don't, you know...
01:01:08
Chris
If anything, people should be watching videos of like human interaction so you can better be a better human to others.
01:01:09
ronsenflamedkidney
I think...
01:01:16
ronsenflamedkidney
Yes. I just think it's become that firefighter thing of I have to be a firefighter all the time.
01:01:23
Chris
Yeah.
01:01:24
ronsenflamedkidney
And like you don't and you're going bring stuff out, whatever, and all of that.
01:01:25
Chris
You don't. Oh. Yeah.
01:01:31
ronsenflamedkidney
But on the flip side, like I do understand part of it because, you know, I go to the gym every day.
01:01:37
Chris
Yeah.
01:01:38
ronsenflamedkidney
Not just because I want to be at the gym every day, but because I think for my job, I need to be in the gym every day.
01:01:43
Chris
Yeah.
01:01:43
ronsenflamedkidney
You know, there is that side of it.
01:01:44
Chris
Well, yeah, mean, we literally have a job that can kill us.
01:01:46
ronsenflamedkidney
Yeah, yeah. You know, I had to bail out of a window the other day and it was easily able to do it, you know, because I work out constantly.
01:01:53
Chris
Yeah. Yep.
01:01:56
ronsenflamedkidney
And I do that because of my job.
01:01:57
Chris
Yeah. Yeah.
01:01:59
ronsenflamedkidney
Ask me in three and a half years when I'm still going to the gym every day and I won't have it.
01:02:00
Chris
Yeah.
01:02:03
ronsenflamedkidney
I'll have a different answer. I don't know.
01:02:04
Chris
Right.
01:02:06
ronsenflamedkidney
You know, maybe I'll just go to the gym because that's what I'm used to.
01:02:08
Chris
Right.
01:02:09
ronsenflamedkidney
But I do it now because it's something to be prepared for my job. So I can't really give them too much crap.
01:02:14
Chris
Yeah, yeah, yeah, no.
01:02:15
ronsenflamedkidney
You know, about being prepared for work.
01:02:17
Chris
Yeah. It's everybody takes preparation their own way.
01:02:21
ronsenflamedkidney
Yeah. It's a... But I would suggest reading some other books.
01:02:28
Chris
Yeah.
01:02:28
ronsenflamedkidney
You know, I always say like history, being a history nerd, is the study of leadership, right? If you want to study leadership, study history books.
01:02:36
Chris
All right. Yes.
01:02:40
ronsenflamedkidney
Those...
01:02:42
ronsenflamedkidney
not, I'm not saying that we go into combat every day. I don't want to have that. Like, but that style of leadership really applies to a lot of what we do, you know, see the good ones, see the bad ones.
01:02:53
Chris
Yeah.
01:02:56
Chris
Mm-hmm.
01:02:56
ronsenflamedkidney
But then also notice, note that the people who are writing that, they have a motive.
Reading Preferences and Bookstore Support
01:03:00
ronsenflamedkidney
They want to, they want to come out looking like they're great.
01:03:00
Chris
Oh, yeah. Yeah, I mean, everybody. Yeah, there's a spin always.
01:03:06
ronsenflamedkidney
Yeah. Yeah. There's no spin on sci-fi books. They just want to be good books.
01:03:11
Chris
Yeah. Yeah.
01:03:12
ronsenflamedkidney
Yeah. yeah I need to start a new sci-fi series. I might pick up that series that I was talking about because I do need a new series.
01:03:21
Chris
Yeah, you should.
01:03:23
ronsenflamedkidney
I'm so... um ah hate myself for it, but I am so invested into the Kindle now. It's just like so much easier just read on my Kindle.
01:03:33
Chris
it is but the last two books I've bought have been physical yeah yeah
01:03:39
ronsenflamedkidney
Oh, I buy physical books all the time. I just, I need to sit down and read them. And then I'm like, oh, but like I have to turn the light on. Oh, have to like use my hands and hold this thing up. Oh,
01:03:49
Chris
he's like well you need a helper monkey to turn the pages god yeah oh yeah
01:03:55
ronsenflamedkidney
I do need a helper monkey for me and to hold the flashlight. And yeah.
01:03:59
Chris
That's why they have the prehensile tail. They can hold the flashlight and then turn the pages.
01:04:01
ronsenflamedkidney
Yeah. Yeah. I was really thinking it was going to hold the flesh in his mouth, but, you know, whichever.
01:04:08
Chris
yeah Okay. Oh, yeah, that's it.
01:04:09
ronsenflamedkidney
It both works. Yeah. do need helper monkey.
