You gotta wear a car for
Shift in Coronavirus Perceptions
00:02:01
Speaker
that one
00:02:01
Speaker
Anywho, so yeah, speaking of this coronavirus, last I was on the show, you know, it was just something that was really not in America or anywhere, I should say, except China. And it's no joke. China. It's really no joke. He said it was a little bit us. China. So what if I... He's only in China.
00:02:26
Speaker
No, but this thing is a Chinese disease it just came from China it came from just came China But it's not Chinese disease China China
00:02:38
Speaker
I'm gonna spell it jagna. Oh, man What were you saying? Yeah, though like it's it's it's a real deal. It's it's not a joke anymore I mean, I feel like you know a few weeks ago At least last time I was on which was I guess was a few weeks ago. Like I said It was more of a this is a hoax Kind of a ridiculous and a conspiracy theory type deal But and you know like you know the deal was anybody above the age of what it was at 50 60 who has underlying health issues is
00:03:08
Speaker
Impacted and everyone else is kind of just you know they blow it over But now we're seeing you know anywhere between the we're seeing kids and we're seeing 25 35 year olds die from this I'm pretty sure you're you and Trump are the only ones who thought it were hoaxes They're not they're not dead look shake him he's awake cute cue the crickets It's from China
Trump's Response to the Pandemic
00:03:39
Speaker
The last time he was on the podcast he was still going outside.
00:03:44
Speaker
helpful to be fair that was like that was like that was January January it was when I it was when Trump came on and said that it was a hoax by the Democrats and that it was very much cured I remember he said that like four days ago as well yeah that's true he said that and I all the way into like late February I think yeah I never said that and it's going to be the best solution
00:04:12
Speaker
of the virus that we've ever seen. I'm going and I'm shrinking down. I'm going to fly into your body. I'm going to fly into your body. I'm going to kill every single one of those germs. I'm putting them all in jail. We're going to lock them away for the rest of the lives. It's going to be fantastic. That would be so unreal. Can you imagine just locking a virus up? Uh, no. Okay, cool. So anyway.
Quarantine Pastimes: Studying and Gaming
00:04:39
Speaker
So what have you been doing to occupy your time?
00:04:42
Speaker
Honestly, I've been losing my mind a little bit as of the last couple days. I've actually been doing my schoolwork and my homework. Oh, poor guy. And reading. Something that I would never do in my spare time. Obviously, against reading.
00:04:58
Speaker
I'm sorry. It's a hoax perpetrated by the Democrats. I'll choose the right one. That's all that gets you to read Heligrand's new book. Nick, how have you spent your free time over there? You know, seeing as how I don't have school to study. I don't think so. Moving on. So what have you been doing, Nick? Besides playing Xbox and drinking, is that it?
00:05:26
Speaker
No, that's what I've actually been at. I mean, I've been studying a little bit. Just a little bit. Studying what? And then mostly just applying. Hold on, I'm in contact on both things. Studying and applying. That doesn't help.
00:05:42
Speaker
I mean, you apply for jobs. You go to freakin' Indeed, you apply to jobs. Okay, applying for jobs, I got you. I didn't know what you meant. No, because, I mean, I heard about this new place around, it's a local thing I go through, just opening up a store, it's called Lido's. Whatever. But they're looking for people, so. Nice. It's like a grocery store. I know. I don't know. Yeah, so, but they're looking for people to hire. I should apply Wigman's. Looking into them. Wigman's. I never heard of that.
00:06:10
Speaker
never heard of Wegmans? They're opening up everywhere. But nonetheless, a lot of places in Udemy, they actually, they're not Udemy, I'm out of sight because I couldn't log on to the other one before. They have a free one for this month. Yeah, I saw that.
Learning New Skills in Isolation
00:06:31
Speaker
I was using that for a little bit. What kind of things have you been studying, just out of curiosity?
00:06:36
Speaker
Oh, you know, just they have the videos for introductory and so since I haven't done it in a while. Introductory to what?
00:06:44
Speaker
actually introductory to it they have that right on introductory i don't i don't have i don't have the thing on off the top of my head i don't know if you care at all jimmy but i have free studying for it stuff like excel outlook just general computer crap if you're interested yes i did my way
00:07:08
Speaker
Do you care at all? What are you going to college for this time around? Not IT. Save your life when you're 70 and you can't move your fingers because of arthritis. Oh, PT? There it is. Install and configure active directory main services.
00:07:27
Speaker
okay so eighty introducing windows server two thousand sixteen but i think that was the latest one that they had on there that's all i mean windows server to you know it's kind of like stuff like that desk you know i don't have to go to work so i don't have a bedtime and when you guys can open back up that
Uncertainty of Lockdown Duration and Resurgence Risks
00:07:44
Speaker
is a good question they uh... that's a that's a question for our president of the united states china i don't think anybody really knows yet i mean
00:07:54
Speaker
There they said by May and then some people are saying, you know, I heard me after that and then they said that they're gonna keep Going month by month. So I mean, honestly, it's a play about your type of dude Some people are saying this is because this like isn't gonna go away that it's just gonna as as soon as people's like go back out into the public It's gonna recirculate
00:08:17
Speaker
That would suck. And then we're just going to do that a little bit again. I can see that. That would only make sense. I mean, you know, some people are going to harbor it and they're not going to say anything. And then, I mean, say you only, they only do this for like a month or two months. Well, people that just went out maybe like two weeks or like the day right before the two week mark of the quarantine, they start to have symptoms right when everybody is starting to get out of quarantine. And so.
00:08:46
Speaker
Then all hell breaks loose that way, again. So I mean, it's only natural that it will just fluctuate. So, speaking about this, what's your... No, I was gonna say, what's your... Where do you see this going in the next month, Jimmy? Where do I see this going? Yeah. So like, say May... Let's say May 15th. Where do you see... Like, where are we? Like, are we on a beach? Are we drinking beer? Like, where do you see this relationship going?
00:09:13
Speaker
I mean, I'm in South Florida, so regardless, I'm willing to risk it to the biscuit. He's at the beach. I'm gonna be a huge drinking a Corona. Of course you are. If there happens to be cops waiting to arrest me, you know, so be it. Yeah, that's a bad question. You were there yesterday. Yeah, I truly believe that this can only go on for so long because
00:09:31
Speaker
Then you're not affecting economics anymore of this country. You're now affecting, and it's becoming a serious problem now. It wasn't a conversation about a week ago. It wasn't a conversation about a week ago, but sanity levels are starting to
00:09:53
Speaker
I don't want to say rise or decrease. I don't know what's the right answer. It's going to be crazy. They're not saying people are not saying, I know. And so in there's going to be the baby boom and the murder boom. Yeah. Yeah. And also, you know, when I heard, I heard that people born in the Corona virus time are going to be called the Corona like generation. Oh, that's awesome. Something along those lines, the Corona show. That's going to be a,
00:10:21
Speaker
i like it what do you have to do with your uh... stimulus check pay my rent uh... right on that's stupid buy a home gym what else can i do with it you know i mean again being a server i don't have any income right now i have a chart you know i don't know i a little do people know but the government really doesn't want to cooperate
00:10:51
Speaker
Because I've been trying to get my unemployment checked for a little while now, and they are very... they're working me around. Thanks a lot. I'm getting worked around. Jacob's happened to be quiet now, too. Oh, wow. He got officially laid off. Jesus. He leaves at home, though, so it's fine. Yeah, he said that last night, right? Yeah, I mean, so do I, so I have no complaints at all. Yeah, you shouldn't. Alright, right on.
00:11:18
Speaker
Sorry, I lost. Let's talk about how not just the common American citizens affected by this, but let's talk about the world, especially us dudes who love sports.
NFL's Virtual Draft and Tech Concerns
00:11:32
Speaker
I'm sorry. Can we just quickly talk about it's April 6th, 2020. This morning, Roger Goodell tells teams NFL will hold a fully virtual draft.
00:11:48
Speaker
Can we talk about that for a second? Can we imagine, like, Rodger Dell on Zoom? Dude, I'm down. With, like, the top, like, 25. I'm down as long as I can be a part of it. I want to be on Zoom. Like, what happens if somebody, like, interferes with the Zoom and, like, the top 25 prospects and, like, I'm just sitting there at the 26th at the very right corner. Dude, I didn't think about that. Have you seen all the hacking issues with Zoom lately? I have. Dude, that'd be hilarious.
00:12:14
Speaker
Unfortunately the disgusting thing that was going on with the Rangers the NHL New York Rangers Prospect, I don't I don't even want to butcher it. I don't know what his ethnicity is. I do not have any slightly Clue I don't want to guess but he is He was racially slurred in the in the in the text and I heard that the FBI was now involved. Oh, yeah
00:12:41
Speaker
I from what I'm from what I read and the research I did He hacked his way in and and the Rangers had to shut it down immediately But like could you imagine if something went on like in the NFL draft? You would let me hit with the first pick of the 2020 NFL Draft the Cincinnati Bengals choose Adolf Hitler That's what I'm saying That would be absolutely starting cornerback
00:13:06
Speaker
No matter
Sports World Disruption and Coping Mechanisms
00:13:07
Speaker
what happens, all of this is going down in the history books regardless. Like, our kids are gonna be reading about this in, you know, like, AP US history in high school. Yeah, I'm gonna be reading about this next week, because I'm gonna be sleeping. That's fair. Yeah, sweeping. Um, I'm, yeah, I guess we'll see. Is it, isn't it the draft the 23rd?
00:13:24
Speaker
yeah i think um i'm curious how that's gonna go uh i mean i'm down with the whole virtual thing obviously you gotta they were never gonna do something with a crowd like they usually do but i guess as things are getting worse they're like we don't even want to be like near each other kadel is like i'm gonna be at home in bed so text me who you're fortunate uh have you ever played plague ink uh
00:13:45
Speaker
Nick. No. You've never played plague the game on like your phone or Xbox or? Oh, play. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Um, where you like, you try, you try and affect the world with like a virus or whatever. Yeah. Two that did it. Um, you obviously know what this is, Jim. I think I played with you. Yeah. I didn't know you could play with those people.
00:14:05
Speaker
No, I'd like I was sitting next to him while I was doing it that would be doped up multiplayer But I forget like when this whole thing started like the beginning of the year I forgot to mention that like they pulled the app from the Chinese app store like they didn't want people Wow That's crazy so like we don't need people playing play gank during this crap I
00:14:41
Speaker
How about we take charge of it and we find the cure? How about we just play video games? Funnily enough, they're making a new game where the goal is the opposite. So it's spreading, you have to find the cure. Which, I mean, there's already a plague game for that kind of thing. Like the board game does that, but they're making the full mobile app where it's essentially just the reverse.
00:14:52
Speaker
Wow, yes, but I don't want to see a simulate. I want to see how like correct it could be that
00:15:07
Speaker
Right on. Wow, actually. Yeah, which would be cool. I haven't checked on the status of it, but I think that's dope. Finally, something positive coming out of all this. Um, I know, right? A new game. I don't...
Debating 'Gif' Pronunciation
00:15:18
Speaker
At what cost? At what cost, Jimmy? At what cost? Thousands dead. Um, I sent this to you, Jimmy, but, uh, you saw what the, so, uh, Giffy, you know, the gift company, um, they came out and officially announced how to pronounce their name.
00:15:38
Speaker
Don't say Jiffy because that's already a nice little peanut butter. Did you see this, Nick? Have you seen this? No, I didn't. I've heard that the guy said Jiff, but now I'm curious to see if this is a different outlet. So what they came out with was a Z-Source.
00:15:55
Speaker
the Giphy the company that makes the gifs which gives away because I mean I've always said gif how would how have you guys pronounce I've heard you say gif a lot of times Jimmy I say gif all the time no it's just since Jimmy's but it's also not but Giphy is the peanut butter company so if you're gonna say the company itself Giphy is pronounced Giphy it's not Giphy
00:16:17
Speaker
What? Yes. He doesn't want them to be called Jiffy. Sounds like Jiffy Lube, Jiffy Peanut Butter. Oh my god, I'm sorry. Please. I want to stand corrected. It's not Jiffy. I don't know why a bunch of people think of that, including myself. I saw some video on this. It's not Jiffy Peanut Butter. It's Jiff. It's not Jiffy. Oh, Jiffy. That's true. That's true. I always forget that. So actually, it could be Jiffy.
00:16:46
Speaker
It's cause it's all about that skippy. No. So they came out and there's only one, so they posted like on their Twitter. I forget where it was. It's like, there's only one gif. Let's officially settle this. It's pronounced gif. All right. You're lying. I'm not. I know. I just wanted to say that because I didn't want to believe it. Um, but it only makes sense because of what it stands for. Well, yeah, that's what it stands for. I don't remember. It's graphical something.
00:17:16
Speaker
and graphic information still so Jeff I sent it to you again just for reference um oops I broke it yeah I thought that was hilarious because that's been like a debate since the beginning of time pretty much since like the 1900s people have been asking if it's pronounced gif or image format yeah graphical image format so it's good
00:17:36
Speaker
I've had this argument with several people. I Mean facts don't lie. No, they're alternative facts though. Oh Yeah, it's different. It's different. So there's facts and there's alternative facts. Oh, okay. Just depends on what you Google Nick I have a question for you
00:17:57
Speaker
you. Why are you the way you are? Great question. I enjoy my life. I disagree. They don't like their life. But I mean, ultimately, I'm pretty okay.
00:18:18
Speaker
No, I was gonna ask moments. My whole life I don't like. Well, that means that I'm doing pretty alright. As you were saying?
Animal Crossing: Hesitations and Mechanics
00:18:32
Speaker
I was gonna say, Nick, have you ever played Animal Crossing? I have not, but I've heard good things and I've seen cringey things, but I mean it looks fun. Are you interested at all?
00:18:44
Speaker
yes i've actually wanted to play on play with my girlfriend but that's the only time i'd want to play it i would not pay for it because i would also have to pay for a switch so i'm not going to pay all that much but if i already had a switch on which part the part where nick gets a switch or whatever you have any of them i think nick should get a switch i think it's a necessity i would like a switch too but i mean you know times you're tough so you know
00:19:12
Speaker
You gotta, you gotta hold off on the switches. No, all I'm gonna say is Animal Crossing is the most tedious, unbelievable, awesome, most exhilarating, annoying, fun-filled game. I'm pretty sure exhilarating is the opposite of what it's supposed to feel like. No, well, I'm just talking in a Jimmy perspective. You know, that's how I describe it. If we're talking through Jimmy perspective, note that this is a guy who lives next to the beach in Florida.
00:19:46
Speaker
And there's other times where, you know, Tom Hill tells me my rent is about a million dollars and I just throw my switch through a window and I need a new switch.
00:19:55
Speaker
So what are your like, what are you doing daily? Like, what's the most fun of it? Because I I enjoy the idea of it. I played it a little bit like in previous versions, but it's so hard to stay interested. I'm just not correct. I feel like the only way you're staying interested is if you're like, if you're going to like mob the whole like the whole area of the town, you know, make waterfalls and make make houses. But the fact of the matter is you can't do that in your first.
00:20:24
Speaker
I don't want to say like real time or animal crossing time considering if you time travel or not but if you don't time travel it literally takes like two to three weeks before you can even do that if you don't time travel and if you do like myself how are ya
00:20:39
Speaker
uh you it's still a bunch of tedious work like you have to collect wood and all your tools always break and you have to make new tools and and you know to catch fish it caught like you have that's how you get money there's a lot of ways to get money but then you have to pay off your house and you have to you have to pay off quote unquote pay off tom nook by all these jobs and it's just so tedious in order to get to a point where you're just a
00:21:03
Speaker
like officially creating your own home and your own town but i guess that some people say like it's part of the game like the game is um you know doing all these objectives even though in the moment it seems like it's so not worth it and and tedious but it it's it's imperative to complete the game
00:21:24
Speaker
so like in the moment it's it sucks but you know after you do it you know it's just like oh wow like i just did this objective like score well i don't know does it have longevity like are you going to be playing this in six months well that's the problem it has so much longevity it's just like
00:21:40
Speaker
Like you don't know the longevity of a game. Like if I'm playing NHL 20 on the Xbox, like of course I don't know the longevity, but I do subconsciously. I'm gonna play that until NHL 21 comes out. So the problem with Animal Crossing is you already know that it has longevity through months and months because it's going to take you months and months to get to your end goal.
00:22:02
Speaker
So it's like, I don't know if some people like that or some people do like that. And some people don't like that. Some people want to pick up a game and just like keep going and creating without knowing the end game. But I guess what I'm saying is Animal Crossing has a strict timeline that you have to follow and there's no way around it.
00:22:18
Speaker
that's the well that's where i start falling off it's like i can't do anything till tomorrow uh i'm gonna play fortnite jk well that's when people start and you don't have to you don't have to time travel i mean i've been playing animal crossing since the first game came out in what 2002
00:22:34
Speaker
I think it was. Yeah, but you're really creative. You're like decorating your house and like helping. Right, of course. But you have to play the game. Like you have to keep buying things in order to get new things. And in order to get new things, you have to go like day by day. I'm objective based. So I only fast forward a day. Right. So then you probably wouldn't so much like the game. I don't mind if I just get bored very quickly. Like in the beginning, it's more objective based. And then after a while, it's more just for funsies.
00:22:59
Speaker
Right. Which is probably the same thing as kind of Minecraft. Like you have to get established and get a house. Exactly. I love the beginning of Minecraft. Right. And then what? This is like, it's kind of like, uh, it's kind of like real life. Exactly. I get very bored. I want to get a job. And now what? I got a, I got a nice house, little apartment and now what? Yeah. I don't want to be alive anymore. Uh, do you have any opinions on the Nick before we move on?
00:23:26
Speaker
Sing us how I never really played the game? I mean, I personally like games that are a little bit more fast-paced. I mean, that's one of the things that helps me with my mundane life. I'd suppose is, you know, you find a game that is really challenging. Find something that you can't really even do in real life and you just kind of do that.
00:23:52
Speaker
That's supposed to be a relaxing game, but I just find it boring. Like I said, I like it. I like the idea that I want to like it more, but I get so bored eventually. So like the idea of playing Animal Crossing is like, yes, I want to do it. But the truth of it all is I cannot play that game like ever. I should say the only way I'm able to play that game is if I'm very awake, I'm very bored.
00:24:18
Speaker
There's absolutely nothing else to do because then then I'll play the game if I'm tired I won't be able to play the game if I am if I'm drinking and I'm a drunk I can't play that game I have but people are playing that game like for hours I'm picking up the game and playing for like 30 to 40 minutes. Oh, okay. I'm done kind of like what you're saying Okay, I gotcha. I thought you were playing for like hours on end
00:24:40
Speaker
No, no, no, no, no, I'm picking it up and I'm doing my things like that. I have to do for like 30 to 40 minutes and then I'm like, okay, like what you're saying is what's the point? It's a great game, but also it's just like if you don't have the attention span or the time or I guess the love for the game is just it's not your game. I'd say for some like
00:25:01
Speaker
If those are kind of like your soul games that you play, you can kind of use those as like multitask tools. You have to do a lot of waiting and stuff, so you can play like do their multiple games or you can do that doing work. When you like to do that and you use a timer and every time that that's done, then you take a break, do that. Like the way you think around. Me and Jaz, we finally finished the office.
00:25:26
Speaker
Nice, how was it? It was good. It was the last season was weird. Yeah, it was. That was the last episode. Did you like you went through all of it, Jimmy? I did. Why have we never talked about that?
Critique of The Office and Game of Thrones Finales
00:25:40
Speaker
I don't know. That's weird. I was forced because I did a girl who loved that show. Which car was this? Shut up. No, I'm serious. I have no idea. Oh, Georgia. Oh, she was, she liked the office.
00:25:52
Speaker
Yeah, it's a fair show. I love that girl. Nope. Have you seen, have you gone through it at all, Nick? Yeah, so I watched it. I just, everybody watched it and it's been a while of course, so I decided to watch it. Next thing I know, I got into it up until like season six and then
00:26:16
Speaker
After I think Michael Scott left, pretty much, I kind of, you know, just fell through, but I told myself I just finished the whole thing just so I could see it through. It really kind of left me a little lackluster, not nearly as much as Game of Thrones, but definitely lackluster. I gotcha. Was, well, for starters, Office was dope.
00:26:43
Speaker
The first season was like the first like three episodes I was super bored did not want to do it. Correct. Me too. Um, and then power through and it was dope. Uh, Steve Pharrell is just great player. He's unbelievable. You know, I wasn't really the biggest fan of him one in the earlier times, but I think the more I kind of just
00:27:08
Speaker
relaxed and kind of opened myself up. He's great. Acting styles, I certainly like him more. He's a great improviser, too. You can tell. John Krasinski, obviously dope. A goat. Yeah, super high. I'd marry him, you know. Yeah, me too. I don't think anybody wouldn't. Nick might have a problem because he's not Asian, but... Well, you know. So you mentioned the final season of Game of Thrones. Was it that bad?
00:27:39
Speaker
Oh, it was... It was... It was... It's one of those things where you look at it and you say I'm not mad. I'm disappointed. I haven't seen any of it, so I can't say for certain, but it seems like a pretty general consensus that it was one of the worst things ever.
00:27:59
Speaker
I just the thing is the the thing I don't well I kind of know they're kind of already fallen out and they decided that they didn't really want to keep doing it but at the same time I don't know why because the thing is is the at least from what I remember the the reason why they were doing is because they weren't really you know like raking in the dough but I'm thinking
00:28:28
Speaker
When I watched the final season, and even parts of the last of the season before that one, I could see that what they were compressing into that season could have lasted at least two seasons apiece. The way that they're doing that, like, the whole, like... What was so awful about the list?
00:28:52
Speaker
Don't give me any spoilers in case I haven't seen any of it. I was told that it was awful. There were scenes in it that were so awesome and epic, but you could tell that they crammed it in there and then they came in with some crazy way to end it all. And it really just rushed the whole series, honestly.
00:29:21
Speaker
that they they have and then they killed off so i mean they kill off characters all the time so this really is only a kind of a state they killed on yeah exactly so they killed off characters way too not even like it's not even like they killed them off too early or anything like that they killed some of them off at the end but it was the way that they killed them off and just like it was just so like if you're gonna like these they spit okay
00:29:49
Speaker
I would be like it wouldn't be a big deal if it was just some whatever show but this was Game of Thrones this is the show that obviously wasn't doing bad in the box office obviously there were some people that wanted to still do the show
00:30:06
Speaker
There's honestly no reason why they shouldn't have done it right. If they're going to finish it off, finish it right. That way that in 10, 20 years from now, people are still looking at this show as one of those shows that really... Because that's what it was building up to be. Up until literally the last season,
00:30:31
Speaker
It was that show. It was the show everybody was always on about. Everybody was always wanting the scoop on when the next one was going to start.
00:30:41
Speaker
it was one of those shows and now it's one of those shows that instead of being the best show possibly in history is the worst disappointment that those parents have ever fathered as producers right on connect couldn't have said it better it's ridiculous it's ridiculous did you watch anything?
00:31:08
Speaker
Renanek, Jimmy, did you watch any of it? No, I didn't watch any of it. No, I've never seen it before. I have never seen any episode ever. Both of my roommates watch it die hard, and I got their reactions, actually. And the night it came out, and they were just not happy at all. So I can only imagine, but can't wait to watch it.
00:31:34
Speaker
Yeah. Well, what made it so special and why it was such good quality was because it was like eight episodes a season and a season took like one or two years to make. And they were not short supply of money as it seemed. They were doing so. They were doing pretty good. Can't wait to watch it just to be slowed down by the finale. Can't wait.
00:31:57
Speaker
I would honestly just watch it up until like before the season and just like be like oh and just like have that have your wildest imagination of what would happen be the year your fantasy that that's where that's where it should that I think that's what would give you the happiest outcome all right right on do you think anybody would actually do that probably not
00:32:25
Speaker
Yeah, probably not. Yeah, no. I think he's saying like, take it all away. It is for 20 all years. I'm sure that if anybody watches it, maybe. Maybe. It's the month of April all year long. Well, no, not all year, but you know. Yeah. A little month long. What have you been watching, Jim? Obviously using the Game of Thrones. I think you mentioned disjointed earlier.
00:32:55
Speaker
What have you been watching Jim? Which I have to watch. Besides Animal Crossing. Besides Animal Crossing, I've been... I'm a big superhero. Big superhero guy. You're not a superhero, so let's establish that. Thanks, dude. I'm gonna go run myself into the grave after this one. Yeah, no, you're probably the first thing from it. You're basically a villain. Thanks. Appreciate you. Well, I've been ripping the arrow and the flash. I saw that going a different way. You guys know Lil Dicky?
00:33:25
Speaker
Yeah, I know what you're talking about. My name is Dave. Yeah, dude. That's one of those shows that I look at it and I'm like, I want to watch you. Well, that was maybe after I watched this one show. Right. That was me until I was like, you know what? Screw it. I'm in quarantine. I want to watch it.
00:33:42
Speaker
I watched the first episode I was hooked immediately and then I watched the second and the third and the fourth and I binge watched all the way through the first six episodes and it's actually it's actually his story he's telling his story and it's it's called Dave and it's on Hulu and it's on uh FX FX uh I don't wanna I don't wanna I don't wanna screw it up I think it's Wednesdays?
TV Show Recommendations: 'Dave' and More
00:34:02
Speaker
Wednesdays or Thursdays? Nobody watches live TV anyway so it's fine
00:34:06
Speaker
That's true, so on Hulu on Thursday, so I guess it's on Wednesdays, Hulu on Thursdays, I always watch that show. Is it a comedy?
00:34:15
Speaker
It is. It's a comedy, but he tells his story on how he does it and how he was brought to the stardom. And I looked all this up because I was like, I was just curious. So, um, you know, maybe not every single little detail, but, um, for the majority of the, of the show, it's, he's tells a story and it's so crazy. Cause I saw a little Dickie, um, last May, May of 2019. And, uh, one of his, uh, good friends in the show, his hype man, so to speak,
00:34:42
Speaker
Is is in the show and this is actual hype man. It's not an actor portrayed And then I was looking at my videos from last may and I was like, oh my god, this is actually him
00:34:52
Speaker
And it's so cool. And then I go to his Instagram and he tells a quick little story on all of his Instagram posts on how this episode was so special to him. And it's very good. It's very, very funny. And it just, besides the funniness, it comes full circle at the end of the episode. Cause you have to, in order to like understand the episode, you have to watch the first, you know, first 10 seconds and it connects with the last 10 seconds. It's actually like brilliantly made. I think one of the executive producers is Kevin Hart. So amongst a lot of others, obviously, but how that makes sense.
00:35:22
Speaker
But that's what I've been watching. I got you. I restarted. I'm not restarted, but I watched the first episode or two. I think only the first episode of like leaving off from where I started with the flash. Wow. Yeah. So that was where they bring him back from the Speed Force and he has no idea what's going on. Oh, a couple of seasons behind, but yeah, starts getting a little, starts getting good there. Is this, is that season good?
00:35:50
Speaker
You want my honest answer? I mean, you're honest answer. I'm gonna watch either way. It's not good. Is it better than the Savitar one? No. It's worse than the Savitar one?
00:36:04
Speaker
But have the faith because the following season is unbelievable I think I don't know for sure but something tells me they got some type of Bad review so they and then from what I read when I in the moment of time when they came out with I guess that season five They quote-unquote went back to roots and It was just unbelievable and the end the season right now. It's just
00:36:31
Speaker
equally unbelievable that they would go back to roost they go back to comics and it's just it's really good but just just go through that season uh... you do have to watch the season uh... to understand the rest of the coming seasons it's not it's not terrible it's just not as good as the rest of them but you'll enjoy it you'll enjoy the rest of the season and and the next season to come yeah i mean i wouldn't stop i have to watch through it i have to watch through the arrow to what's hilarious is when you're watching uh... like repeats or when you're not watching live
00:37:00
Speaker
and you're binging, you have to kind of keep on par with like all the shows at once. Yeah, you can't binge the Flash and then watch Arrow and then watch something. You got to go in order because they do the crossovers and stuff. Yep. It's the crossovers are unreal. They're pretty unreal. Is the Supergirl is Supergirl worth watching? I'll be honest. I stopped watching Supergirl after season two. Was it any good? I just I saw it was just too bored.
00:37:31
Speaker
I was just more hooked on Arrow and Flash. I mean, the Supergirl, it was good. The first season was really good. Second season, it kind of just looked like they were trying really hard. I've actually been meaning to just get back into it. I wanted to kind of leave off because there's nothing else better to do, obviously. But I re-watched everything leading up to the crossovers. I even watched the last two episodes.
00:37:55
Speaker
Supergirl going into the crossovers just so I have an idea what's going on and see me with Batwoman I haven't even started Batwoman yet. I heard that got pretty good reviews though But I just I watched that Yes, that has nothing to do with any of the show. I know I'm sorry I completely went off track was Gotham any good. Oh, you're good. Gotham is really good. I heard nothing on Unbelievable you should watch God. All right, cool Nick any input here? Have you watched any of these things?
00:38:25
Speaker
I have tried to watch The Flash. I tried to watch Gotham. They just didn't really do it for me as much as I wanted to. I guess in the video I haven't really given them a try to be fair. But I do enjoy the movies. The shows just really don't captivate me so much.
00:38:45
Speaker
I don't know. I'm sickler for cheesy acting. I know it's the first season and the first episode and stuff, so I know
Interest in Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul
00:38:54
Speaker
it's going to not be the best, but sometimes it plants a seed, you know? So I haven't really gotten past the first episode of any of it. Maybe the second episode or something. Well, you're Asian. You watch anime. Aren't those pretty cheesy?
00:39:11
Speaker
Well, you know, you don't recognize the cheesiness because they're speaking Japanese. Oh, I beg to differ. I very much disagree there. Well, take off the subs and you're pretty good. Yeah, take off the subs, have no idea what's going on, you're good. Me personally, what I've been getting into, which is
00:39:36
Speaker
pretty far off. That is actually the offspring of Breaking Bad. I've been trying. That's a show that I need to watch. You haven't seen Breaking Bad? What's wrong with you? I know. Jimmy, get off my podcast. Breaking Bad is a pretty darn good show. I really liked that show and I've been, I've been looking around and I've been eyeballing Better Call Saul. I've heard some decent stuff.
00:40:06
Speaker
And I don't know. I was just like, it seems like a, it's a thing about lawyers. It seems like it seems uninteresting. So for awhile, I just kind of put it off. But I mean, I, after the first season, I gotta say I'm already on the third season and there's four seasons of it. So I kind of binged it. That's fair. It's actually really interesting. Yeah. I heard a better call. So I was pretty dope.
00:40:34
Speaker
Yeah, you can really see some of like the origins of what's going on before what happens with Breaking Bad. It's actually really...
00:40:41
Speaker
it really puts Breaking Bad in perspective so I'd say if you were to watch these things definitely watch Breaking Bad first and then watch this just for just for shits you know unless you most people are doing anyway well some people might be a sickler for you know saying things in sequence so they might want to just do let's call it a bear call so first and then Breaking Bad just kind of get
00:41:06
Speaker
That kind of that's sure that's what I did in Star Wars when I first watched exactly the first episodes first Yeah, and then it kind of paints a picture on yeah So I mean you know it depends on I mean hey if you watch both ways you kind of get two sides of the same Yeah, I mean that one's it's very interesting. I'd say I'd highly recommend that
00:41:31
Speaker
If you like Breaking Bad, if you really didn't like Breaking Bad, this might not be your kind of niche, but it might be. Definitely put it on the list. Right on. Might have to start that tonight. That and disjointed, but that's just for Jimmy. We're getting way off aces from Marvel at that point. That's fine.
00:42:01
Speaker
What do you guys think of the new, the new round up of the new Marvel movies? The new Marvel movies as in which ones? Didn't they release, uh... Oh, all the, uh, the teasers? The titles, you mean? Oh, like the plan, I see what you're saying.
00:42:19
Speaker
i don't know i'm very skeptical about it i'm very skeptical i don't know how invested i am i'm gonna give it a shot of course i'm going to try new things but well they got some big shoes to
Marvel's Future: Skepticism and Expectations
00:42:34
Speaker
fill i don't think it's gonna compare to the last uh i'll just say decade the last decade of marvel movies i don't think it'll compare but then again that's just anybody's opinion before something great happens so
00:42:48
Speaker
I'm just hoping for one thing out of everything to not be regurgitation. I just don't want them to try to do the same exact method in this thing. If they're gonna come out with this, they better come out with some new stuff. Like, when they came out with all the movies, they came out with a whole kind of new brand of comedy in movies, you know, like that friendly banter, witty remark kind of humor. You didn't really see that too much in movies until then.
00:43:19
Speaker
So I mean, I'd like to see something kind of rehashed or something new. You know what I'm excited for? The Black Widow show. Me too. Or is it a show or a movie? It's a movie and they're doing a Wanda. The Wanda show.
00:43:39
Speaker
That's going on Disney Plus, I heard. Right on, I have that. I'm excited for Mandalorian season two. Mandalorian was so dope. Ooh, yeah. I don't know. I don't want to hear it, Jimmy. You were making me mad. How many episodes have you seen, Jimmy? I saw the first four. Well, okay. Well, interesting. I saw the first four. Dylan, I actually started that when I was up there visiting you.
00:44:04
Speaker
Oh while you were staying at my dad's Yeah, yeah, I started that then and first episode was alright. It was decent. I was like alright I'll go on this episode too. Gotta keep in mind it's the first season you have to establish a lot of stuff
00:44:20
Speaker
I should finish the season I shouldn't even be able to talk because I didn't finish the season but from the first four episodes also I can you know what I'm just gonna saw myself because I watched the first three episodes of Breaking Bad and I've heard literally zero bad reviews about Breaking Bad and
00:44:37
Speaker
It starts so weird and so slow. Correct. And I literally, I have said nothing. I didn't give any of my friends any type of hints like that. I've watched it the first three episodes, all of my friends. And what I've heard is you have to give Breaking Bad the first like six or seven episodes. And it's just unbelievable. So so good, dude. It's ridiculous. Yeah, it works.
00:44:58
Speaker
So I can't talk I don't want to like I just got I'm just gonna say that you know those first couple episodes of Mandalorian were You know just you know par. I wouldn't say it was anything great Also, I'm just a huge Star Wars fan so going off of the last three movies that were released in the past couple years and then seeing Some dude in a jetpack fair me to a special guest on our Star Wars D&D game Wow hundred percent. It's pretty fun
00:45:26
Speaker
Anything you guys wanna add before we wrap this up? No, just stay healthy, stay safe, and I'm gonna go binge watch a bunch of shows. You know a show I actually have been wanting to just like binge? And I haven't watched it in years. Lost.
00:45:49
Speaker
pass I never I never was I never watched after the first season because the first three seasons because I didn't know in the box of the boxes the DVD boxes after that but I wanted I've always wanted to see the the actual ending to it
00:46:10
Speaker
And I hear, I see that I heard that there's like two seasons to it. And I've always, it's always been one of those shows that really kind of loop me in and maybe want to watch more of every episode. It was pretty stupid. The ending was pretty stupid.
00:46:29
Speaker
It was stupid. I wanna know the ending. I have never seen the ending. It hasn't abstracted ending. Well, the thing is...
00:46:47
Speaker
That's perfect for him. I don't know. I like abstract endings, but I like them in a fantastical sense. So this has to be in a fantastical sense. Not in a weird, just some might slop something together sense. Anyway, there's a difference. I don't know. I mean, I guess it's with a shot if you invested time in the rest of the series, but I could care less. It was pretty stupid.
00:47:11
Speaker
Well, I might give it a shot, but with that review, I might just not. Well, my mom was super invested into it and I hated it. It was really boring and stupid. That would bring some PTSD to my door, I'll tell you that one. It was like a drama show. It tried to be a sci-fi show and it really pissed me off. It was stupid. It was stupid and I'm mad.
00:47:37
Speaker
I guess until next week. Just stay inside and try and stay safe. Are you are you planning on going anywhere other than the gas station for booze? Well, no, not since I got this, but I've been waiting to get actual alcohols. I don't really drink too much. And since shots really don't make shenanigans, this should last me like a couple days, a few days. I don't have to go to the gas station anymore.
00:48:03
Speaker
Jimmy plans for you. Are you gonna be going out and doing stupid things like the rest of Florida? He is going to do them after the podcast. I'm not the average Florida man, so no, I will not. Also, Shana Hankins. Okay, fair enough.
00:48:20
Speaker
Alright, well, we can hope so. I guess we'll check in next week, see how your symptoms are developing. What about you? What are you going to do, huh? Are you going to stay inside? Dude, I don't go anywhere to begin with, so help me hang it out inside. My guy orders Chipotle. Are you sure? Yeah, I was about to say it's the life that we all want to live. Yeah. So he'll be fine. Yeah, DoorDash, Chipotle, I'm good to go. I mean, I work for a moment. I'm not going anywhere. I go to Walmart once a week and get, like, some symptoms. I always like some on the job. Must be nice.
00:48:48
Speaker
It's not bad. Join the next week to find out what... If I still have a job. Yeah. What the development is for the rest of the jobs. We'll see if Jimmy has the Rona. Oh, and it's not really debate. We're just going to see how he's doing with it. We'll check up on his status, actually. Live from the hospital. That's nice. We'll just pretend you're in New York and not Florida.
00:49:19
Speaker
