SPEAKER_03 0:58

Why am I capable of making this foghorn sound?

So, anyways, welcome to Morbid Mondays.

SPEAKER_03 2:53

Hi.

SPEAKER_00 2:54

If this is your first time, this is not a weird podcast where we talk about random things. Well, the pre-show is I really need to start posting that, like actually recording our stuff and then posting those.

SPEAKER_03 3:09

There's gonna be so much fucking 40k. We crack so many 40k jokes. Dude, speaking of 40k, I'm gonna say this and then we're gonna jump into this, right? Okay, so I'm I was I'm in my K-pop Discord, right? Just chilling, having a good time, talking to people. We're talking about the the the new comebacks in line and like you know, BTS, all all of all of army in the forum. Forum? Is that the correct word? The Discord is like tripping out because like these boys are on some bullshit, and I'm so happy for them. Yay! But I'm still not sure how it happened, but I got challenged to write 40k smut. And I'm like, okay, first of all, do any of y'all know anything about 40k at all? And like two other girls in there were like, yeah, yeah, we know. You should do one of the Primarchs. And I'm like, bitch.

SPEAKER_00 4:02

They all want Bob. They want Bob and the dark elf.

SPEAKER_03 4:08

Sanguinius.

SPEAKER_00 4:09

The priestess of death.

SPEAKER_03 4:11

They picked Sanguinius.

SPEAKER_00 4:13

With who else?

SPEAKER_03 4:17

God, don't hate me for this, but they wanted a second person YN, which is which is for for those that aren't in the know on that, that is that is written from the the reader inserts perspective. So all of all of the all of the the the the they and them or the he, she, or I.

SPEAKER_01 4:38

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 4:38

So like from first and first and third per perspective gets changed to you.

SPEAKER_00 4:45

Okay, like a yeah, an adventure novel.

SPEAKER_03 4:48

Basically, yeah, and they like they do a YN smut with sanguineus. I'm like, first the fuck of all. Sanguinius is like 12 feet tall.

SPEAKER_00 4:57

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 4:58

So I I understand for my monster girlies who are like size difference, yes.

SPEAKER_00 5:02

But literally, no ma'am. Yeah, literally a rage berserker, 12 foot tall monstrosity.

SPEAKER_03 5:08

Well, no, he's he's pretty chill until he like, you know, vamps out.

SPEAKER_00 5:12

But like first of all, I also still think he's alive. I straight up think he's alive.

SPEAKER_03 5:18

He's he's chilling in the warp somewhere. Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 5:19

Um again, this is not a 40K podcast. I'm gonna have to put a tag at the very start. Like, welcome to Morbid Mondays. You're on hitch source. I'm trying to do this from memory. Uh, for what the fuck moments throughout history. I'm your host, Brian.

SPEAKER_03 5:36

I'm Katie.

SPEAKER_00 5:38

So let's get into it. And then we'll I'm gonna shift this section to the beginning and so that people don't go like, what the fuck's happening?

SPEAKER_03 5:47

And it's let's hang on, let's just redo the whole intro. Find the paper because like I what it's fine.

SPEAKER_00 5:53

You know what's up though, what we would be very good at is fucking Twitch. Yes, this is the format of Twitch. It's like people just fucking drop in and start talking.

SPEAKER_03 6:03

God, so I learned how to play fucking helldivers this weekend. Um, I was not expecting that. I had so much fun.

SPEAKER_00 6:10

It's great.

SPEAKER_03 6:11

I had no fucking idea. I I am not, I I listen, I am a sword and board beat-em-up girly. Like, give me melee, give me god of war. Like, that is that is my jam. I was not expecting to enjoy a shoot-em up as much as I did.

SPEAKER_00 6:27

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 6:27

I and like a third person shoot 'em up, too.

SPEAKER_00 6:30

That is, and I think what makes it so fun is that you are expecting to die.

SPEAKER_03 6:34

Oh, yes.

SPEAKER_00 6:35

There's not an expectation that you'll be good. Oh my god.

SPEAKER_03 6:37

It's just like no partner blew my ass up like four times. Yeah, I'm just cackling.

SPEAKER_00 6:42

Because you're like running everywhere, and these huge monstrosities are chasing you, or sometimes a ton of little monsters.

SPEAKER_03 6:49

Oh, dude, it's Starship Troopers. Yeah, it's straight up Starship Troopers.

SPEAKER_00 6:52

It's uh absolutely storyline and everything.

SPEAKER_03 6:55

I enjoyed everything about that. So Helldivers was so much fun.

SPEAKER_00 6:59

Nice.

SPEAKER_03 7:00

Yeah. I don't remember why that was relevant anymore. Like there was there was I there was a tie-in.

SPEAKER_00 7:05

Because it's it's a big thing on Twitch. And then uh and we were also talking about video games and and all kinds of other cultural. We've been all over the fucking place. Yeah, we we we taught, we were talking about um working out earlier. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_03 7:18

We were we were we were doing a little bit of PT fucking what?

SPEAKER_00 7:21

Crazy.

SPEAKER_03 7:22

Where are we? Why are we?

SPEAKER_00 7:23

It's a weird room. I'm gonna describe this place. There's a Buddha to my right and to my left, uh Sail dagger.

SPEAKER_03 7:30

And not to mention the weight bench directly below that, and at least three katanas.

SPEAKER_00 7:36

Like it's a strange. There's two there, and then there's one in the closet.

SPEAKER_03 7:40

And a couple of bokens, and then there's like a little altar to Hades and Persephone directly behind me.

SPEAKER_00 7:45

It's a very confused room.

SPEAKER_03 7:47

And a vacuum?

SPEAKER_00 7:48

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 7:49

Behold, the Eureka vacuum directly to my left. Okay, all right. We're we are ADHD. It's so hard today. It's everywhere. I I don't know how though. Like, we've both poured so much caffeine into our systems. Our brains should be like lock-in.

SPEAKER_00 8:04

Nope, they don't do that. Ugh. Also, like the more the more you have fun doing something, the crazier it gets. Because that's true. And you're chasing dopamine.

SPEAKER_03 8:12

This is a fucking blast every time. Fucking love my days.

SPEAKER_00 8:16

We should really, we talked about this earlier. Me and Emily said uh we talked about this that I thought about moving some of this stuff and creating a stage wall and mounting a camera right there.

SPEAKER_03 8:25

Oh, that could be fun.

SPEAKER_00 8:26

And then just like putting a table here and then just being like, now we don't have to fuck with it anymore. It's just like you mic up and then turn on Twitch, and then it's on it's just on Twitch because you don't have to record, you know what I mean?

SPEAKER_03 8:40

And you record the audio and then you just put the- I have a Twitch account too that just kind of sits unused.

SPEAKER_00 8:45

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 8:45

Now granted, it is it's very pirate themed right now because I was sound itself as fire.

SPEAKER_00 8:52

Oh, see, I know nothing about Twitch.

SPEAKER_03 8:54

So I set my entire Twitch up, okay. This is only going to reach like a limited audience. But for a hot second, uh, a fellow fanfic writer and I were playing a very, very, very long game with a fanfic that she is mainly writing, and I do like little guest spots on, like with my uh self-insert character, I guess. Yeah. It is also a character named Kat. Um, she is a mafia princess, though. So that's that's definitely like an offshoot from reality. Because I am not. She's a lot meaner than I am, too. Anyway, but uh yeah, there there was there was a long game being played in this fic where uh we were leaving the character of Kat's like boyfriend as kind of a mystery. He is, of course, an idol in the industry, but like every time he appears, he is he doesn't speak or his face is covered. Like it is a mystery as to who the fuck that mountain of a man is. Uh and I I was we she was streaming on Twitch for a while because she did weekly streams for her audience, which she has amassed quite the audience. Like she is accomplished, and I'm so proud of her. I'm not gonna name drop though, because I I feel like she might think that's awkward.

SPEAKER_00 10:06

Uh yeah, maybe. Because of the nature of the Yeah, maybe I don't know.

SPEAKER_03 10:10

I could text her right now and ask her. I know I know she's I I think she's at the gym right now. Uh, but anyway, yeah, I I was I was co-piloting with her and like all of my I shifted all of my names and all of my accounts to be hints as to who he was. Yeah because it was turning into kind of a um what's the word I'm looking for here? Scavenger hunt to figure out who he was. Like we even have like an NDA file set up so like when people message us to say, hey, is her boyfriend blah, blah, blah, blah. Yeah, we could be like, no, or congratulations, here's your NDA. You now have a gag order on you. Say nothing. Say nothing except that you know who it is.

SPEAKER_00 10:49

That's really cool. I actually really like it.

SPEAKER_03 10:52

It was super interactive for a really, really, really long time. And I think that was that like her engagement with her audience is how she pulled in so many people.

SPEAKER_00 11:01

Oh, I'm sure. Because that's fun.

SPEAKER_03 11:02

Like the thing is like that's brilliant. She's so smart.

SPEAKER_00 11:05

That's the positive side of a parasocial relationship. Yeah. Well, because it's not even parasocial, it is a social relationship. Yeah, you're like, I'm a writer and you're engaging with a game that I've set up for you to play. Yeah, yeah. And it was there is a direct relationship that that like you may even know some of their names, you know, it was like the person who consistently is on the drop, you know, like and so like parasocial, but like on the good end.

SPEAKER_03 11:29

I I will say this for somebody that has like 25,000 followers.

SPEAKER_01 11:33

God damn.

SPEAKER_03 11:34

Yeah. Uh, which I mean in in the grand, grand scheme of like, you know, social personalities, social media personalities, I guess it's it's should say, that's on the smaller end. But for like, you know, the average Joe Schmoe like me, yeah, those are they're massive. That is that those are monumental numbers. And she will greet, especially when she is in uh in when she's doing a live, she will greet almost every single person that joins the live, either by their username or by their actual name.

SPEAKER_00 12:02

That's amazing.

SPEAKER_03 12:03

She is phenomenal.

SPEAKER_00 12:05

She's the memory. Uh yeah, she's also that's the one thing that I cannot do about Twitch. So because of the way that I read, I read incredibly phonetically. Uh which is great if I'm reading a word that I've never seen before ever.

SPEAKER_03 12:18

I'm too dyslexic for that shit.

SPEAKER_00 12:19

Yeah, like that's you can put a word that I've never seen before and you know what I mean? Like it might even be in another language, and I might be able to figure out how it's supposed to be said. Because I read so slowly, I really cannot read fast.

SPEAKER_03 12:32

I really want to learn Japanese with you then, because like Japanese is one of those languages that is very phonetically based.

SPEAKER_00 12:39

Incredibly so.

SPEAKER_03 12:40

Um, and like that was I I I learned it quickly as a child.

SPEAKER_00 12:44

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 12:44

As a child. I I I I hold like if if that if that skill block were a 10, I have like 0.5 now.

SPEAKER_00 12:53

Yeah. I will say there there's some rules about it that are fairly easy, and I have not really dove into it greatly. I keep trying to do it at work. That's very difficult to do. Yeah. Yeah, because you I keep tuning it out.

SPEAKER_03 13:05

Yep.

SPEAKER_00 13:05

So what I'm gonna do is I'm gonna get up early in the morning. I'm saying this out loud, so I might actually do it.

SPEAKER_03 13:11

Ooh, gotta hold yourself accountable.

SPEAKER_00 13:12

Yeah. And I need to start stretching. Like you saw before I was trying to do, I was trying to show uh Katie how to do a very specific kind of crunch, and I could not stretch enough to put my legs straight up in the air. Because that's how tight my hamstrings are. Cycling does not really. There was no need for me to become very flexible in the feet, even though I did karate. Never, never, I was a sidekick person. I never really did like high round houses.

SPEAKER_03 13:40

So like I did judo.

SPEAKER_00 13:42

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 13:42

They taught me how to fall down.

SPEAKER_00 13:44

Yeah. Very important skill in judo.

SPEAKER_03 13:48

Very important skill for just me in general, because I'm fucking clumsy.

SPEAKER_00 13:52

But also, like, straight up, I know jujitsu is like super good. I feel like if you can bait a person into pulling guard or getting on the ground and you can get away from away from them, you can get away from them. And like, because I don't think about terms of like cage fighting. I'm not in I don't do that. Right? I think about terms of like somebody attacking you on the street. If a judo person touches you, you are going wherever they're putting you. You know, like that's the thing, is like there's a moment of grappling and grappling.

SPEAKER_03 14:27

Maybe, maybe an actual judo person. I didn't get very far. I got like three belts in and then I we moved.

SPEAKER_00 14:33

People who are really good at it, you watch them just like they grab people and they just whap. I mean, they just throw them so hard and fast.

SPEAKER_03 14:41

Oh yeah, well, it's using the other person's momentum.

SPEAKER_00 14:43

Yeah, and you're just like, god damn, like that's I feel like that's harder to get away from.

SPEAKER_03 14:49

Uh yeah. And I I will say, like, they like I was I was a I was a preteen child. Like a child blooming into preteen. That got that sentence got weird. I was young.

SPEAKER_01 15:01

Yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_03 15:02

Uh, and I remember our sensei would be like, all right, now I need you to try to squirm away from this. And he'd like that claw of a hand would lock onto you, and you're not going anywhere.

SPEAKER_00 15:11

I mean, like, really, really good ju uh jujitsu people are just the same way. They're just impossible to get away from. Um but where it I think one of the things that differs greatly uh between the two arts, especially BJJ, is that BJJ is so wrestling focused that unless you do MMA or cross-train, you don't really strike. Whereas striking is in judo day one.

SPEAKER_03 15:36

Oh yeah. So it's like that is that is how I learned to punch.

SPEAKER_00 15:40

Yeah. Gut punches, inside kicks, you know, things to throw people off their balance, and like you're just like, oh damn.

SPEAKER_03 15:46

But I could close a fist right now, my nails are way too long.

SPEAKER_00 15:51

Yeah, you gotta learn the uh the the frog fist, the that fucking first knuckle punch. Um oh man. All right.

SPEAKER_03 16:01

We have we have wandered far afield.

SPEAKER_00 16:03

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 16:04

Let us rein ourselves in.

SPEAKER_00 16:06

I'm gonna I'm gonna press stop and then play again so that I can clip this off and do a second second thing. Um because like that way it's it's a little like um pre-show thing that I might actually do this time. God damn, I've got them recorded and I've just never Our pre-shows are pretty hilarious too. Like I that's why I maybe it's just because I'm having fun talking to you, but like That's actually why I think that that Twitch might be a better format. And I say that because there's not you don't have to like with podcasts, you kind of have to like break. Right? You you break and then you like do the thing, and then you try to and you may maybe have fun in the meantime, right? But there's no like in and out.

SPEAKER_03 16:50

There is so my thing, my the the thing that makes me reticent to come out of like an edited uh format of this is the fact that I I will occasionally get lost in my own notes and we wind up with dead air because I'm like reading through my fucking shit trying to figure out where the fuck I am.

SPEAKER_00 17:08

That's true.

SPEAKER_03 17:09

Or I shoot off on a tangent that has like 10% to do with the topic.

SPEAKER_00 17:14

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 17:16

I cannot be trusted.

SPEAKER_00 17:17

That's that's no, me too.

SPEAKER_03 17:19

In an unedited format.

SPEAKER_00 17:20

You have to like look up stuff, right? I think like the pre-show would be a good thing to do on Twitch, yeah. Yeah, that that no, I'm I'm with you on the actual like morbid Monday stuff because also I like to remove things that aren't entirely factual.

SPEAKER_03 17:36

Like one of the ways that I clip time is that I go through and and like if I can't cross-check this and it's not I have noticed when listening when listening to our podcasts back, like after you've posted them, because once again, ladies and gents, Brian is is in charge of like all of this. I just show up and talk. Uh, but like I've noticed when I listened back, and like, and I'll remember there were there there are certain parts where I'm like, oh, this is cringe, and the cringe is gone, and I'm just like, oh, he fixed it.

SPEAKER_00 18:08

I shortened because we both have some audible ticks uh when we get like in it. You know what I mean? Where we might say the same word multiple times, and so what I do is I'll like clip those out so it's smoother and that kind of shit. Yeah I don't do that as much anymore. Like when we first started, I was kind of obsessive with it.

SPEAKER_03 18:27

Well, we've also gotten better with it, I've noticed. Like, especially like listening to you speak. You you in particular, I have noticed, have cleaned up the way that you like will.

SPEAKER_00 18:36

Oh, I don't um, I don't um as much.

SPEAKER_03 18:38

Um, um is gone. I'm still really bad about so and like.

SPEAKER_00 18:43

Not not as bad as you think you are, though, because it it matches with your voice and style of speaking. If that makes any sense.

SPEAKER_03 18:50

No, it does. It does. It does. I have a very I have a very uh what I would call casual modern style of speaking. Like I can speak more formally and like, you know, get I can listen, I can talk to match my education.

SPEAKER_00 19:06

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 19:06

But I'm a writer, and do you know how much brain it takes to make the words go?

SPEAKER_00 19:10

It it it's why I've never really completed anything. I write little short things all the time just for my own enjoyment. And but if I I can generate the idea, the follow-through with it, it's like if I was just thinking about it, that's the only reason I've ever won a neurolink.

SPEAKER_03 19:30

Yes. Whoa, the novels, the libraries of novels that I could fill with like the stories that I tell myself in my head just to like relieve the general boredom while I'm doing dishes, while I'm folding laundry. Entire grand epics of stories. The second I sit down to write it.

SPEAKER_00 19:53

Yeah. There's like some Where the fuck did go? In the translation between brain and pen or finger or typing or whatever. There was this movie that Sean Connery did a long time ago where he was like a teacher or he was a writer in Harvard or something, and this kid comes to him. Um, this kid comes to him and find his finds his picture on the alumni wall, and he's like, Teach me how to it's like Finding Forester. That's the name of it.

SPEAKER_03 20:18

I've never seen it.

SPEAKER_00 20:19

It's a great movie. It it's up there to me, it's up there with like Dead Poet Society and movies like that. And uh, but he tells him he's like hovering over him while he's typing his essay, and he's like trying to get him to punch the keys in a cadence. Because he's like pun he's punch he's basically trying to get him to do um Oh my god. My brain's going completely blank. Blank on a very famous writer, Hemingway. Hemingway used to do this thing, and and so did um a couple other people, but like they they punched the keys with their fingers. They didn't just type, but like with their hands still, they like click-clocked, like their fingers are going back and forth, right? Like typewriter keys. And the cadence helped them write. It helped stop the block.

SPEAKER_03 21:10

I have noticed that I I I recently switched keyboards. This this conversation has gotten weird. Uh I recently switched keyboards and uh like like I've gone from like the stock thing that came, like it was purple and it was on Amazon, and I was just like, yeah, aesthetic, let's go. Uh and then I just recently swapped to a mechanical one.

SPEAKER_00 21:30

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 21:30

With uh with I I swapped out the keys.

SPEAKER_00 21:33

Yeah, with switch buttons.

SPEAKER_03 21:35

And I have noticed with my typing, I I will type instead of just like you know, the the the haptic chaos that we are taught to type at or we were I guess we were taught in school to type at speed.

SPEAKER_01 21:50

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 21:50

Because like they they threw us in all sorts of like computer classes teaching us to type and all of that. Like you're you're gonna be able to do that.

SPEAKER_00 21:57

But you're gonna have to write the great big email. Emails or be a stenographer or something and fucking me on my cell phone at 3 a.m.

SPEAKER_03 22:05

to the rest of my crew at work. Lol.

SPEAKER_00 22:08

Yeah. We just invented a shorter language.

SPEAKER_03 22:11

Yeah, we did. Uh anyway, but yeah, I've noticed on on my keyboard that I will I I will find a rhythm to type. And it slows me down some because like I I do have an obnoxiously fast typing speed. But um I've noticed with this keyboard that I will slow down and like type at a a kind of patterned rhythm.

SPEAKER_00 22:36

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 22:37

Because it scratches something in my brain with the tick tick tick ticket.

SPEAKER_00 22:41

That's what he was in the movie. He was like, he was trying to get him to follow this kind of like feel of typing.

SPEAKER_03 22:47

Well, I guess.

SPEAKER_00 22:47

So that it would help him write.

SPEAKER_03 22:49

There's something to it then, because I I have noticed that I do it. Like I slammed out seven pages for a novel three days ago.

SPEAKER_00 22:58

Like you could always do the uh um the Gonzo method, as I might know the uh um the writer. Um he was a journalist.

SPEAKER_03 23:10

There are two kinds of people and they're both sitting at this table.

SPEAKER_00 23:16

You know this guy.

SPEAKER_03 23:17

I'm just we just had a belladonna moment, though.

SPEAKER_00 23:23

Oh, the poison.

SPEAKER_03 23:24

Yeah, like uh the porn star? No, the poison! Oh, shout out to supernatural fans.

SPEAKER_00 23:34

Oh, I thought that was a fucking um Bianca Del Rey reference for Alas no, that that was a supernatural one with Alicia Day. Oh, she is also amazing.

SPEAKER_03 23:45

Anyway, Gonzo.

SPEAKER_00 23:46

So the there's uh Gonzo is a kind of journalism, um, which Hunter S. Thompson was very famous for.

SPEAKER_03 23:55

That there is a writer that I wanted to get into so bad.

SPEAKER_00 23:58

So goddamn weird. Yes.

SPEAKER_03 24:00

Like even for me.

SPEAKER_00 24:02

His articles are good because they're short.

unknown 24:04

The thing is.

SPEAKER_03 24:05

Bro, my partner is like enamored of Hunter S. Thompson.

SPEAKER_00 24:10

He's a fucking weird guy. So he the reason why he's writes the way he does is because he was high as fuck all the time. He was high, drunk, and smoking cigarettes.

SPEAKER_03 24:20

So he would, there's photos of There's Crossfaded, and then there's whatever the fuck was wrong with this guy.

SPEAKER_00 24:26

He like the photo that he took, they took of him for Rolling Stone in like his the last few years of his life. I used to have the magazine that he was in because I thought it was so fucking cool.

SPEAKER_03 24:35

Yeah, he probably does. He loves him.

SPEAKER_00 24:38

He was like going like this over his, you know, he was he was he was he was shrimped over a typeboard?

SPEAKER_03 24:44

Type typeboard, typewriter?

SPEAKER_00 24:46

He kept a typewriter, like an old electronic typewriter, and he would type like that. And he had a cigarette in his mouth, he had a scotch over on the side, and you know this dude Mike Rosed LSD all the time. The best thing I ever saw, Hunter S. Thompson.

SPEAKER_03 25:00

Can't stop here. It's back country.

SPEAKER_00 25:02

Yeah, that's right. He went, he was on Conan. You can find this on YouTube.

SPEAKER_03 25:07

I think I've seen it.

SPEAKER_00 25:08

Yeah, he goes to a special gun club in New York.

SPEAKER_03 25:12

I have seen this.

SPEAKER_00 25:13

There's a full bar, a brass rim bar in the middle of a field, and there's a guy in a lion tail coat that is a concierge of machine guns. And you come up and he goes, Oh, good evening, Mr. Thompson. What will it be today? The 50 uh uh golden eagle 50 caliber pistol, semi-automatic, or we do have a Thompson on loan today, and like, and then they set up a thing, and then they just they all these rich maniacs fire machine guns at targets, and like and drink champagne in a gun range. It's very funny, and quite frankly, if I were a millionaire, the kind of shit I would do a hundred percent.

SPEAKER_03 25:56

I've been reading too many of the like billionary billionaire mafia romance novels right now.

SPEAKER_00 26:01

Oh my god.

SPEAKER_03 26:02

Because like that is that is absolutely influencing part of what I've been writing lately, because now I'm just like, yeah, this guy has absurd amounts of money, so there's gonna be no stopping him just having a fucking BFG.

SPEAKER_00 26:13

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 26:15

What does that mean?

SPEAKER_00 26:16

Okay, I was making sure that wasn't an acronym I didn't understand.

SPEAKER_03 26:19

No, big fucking gun. Uh that that is that is for those of us that are not gun enthusiasts.

SPEAKER_01 26:24

Yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_03 26:25

I because I am not, uh, but I live with someone who is, and he'll often gets very frustrated with me when I'm like doing gun research, and he's just like, ask me, and I'm like, you don't like anything I write.

SPEAKER_00 26:39

I will tell you um a really cool resource for that. There's a a YouTube channel called Forgotten Weapons. They do a lot of obscure weapons.

SPEAKER_03 26:51

Is that the British guy that works at the uh one of them?

SPEAKER_00 26:54

Okay. Yeah, he's one of the guys.

SPEAKER_03 26:56

Because I I have watched several of his videos because I was trying to understand some of the Star Wars weaponry, yeah. Uh, which apparently are just various guns from World War II with extra stuff strapped on them.

SPEAKER_00 27:09

One of them's literally just like a mauser pistol. Uh yeah, it's it's yeah, there's there's a lot of there's a lot of.

SPEAKER_03 27:15

Y'all hear her purring. I have a cat in my lap and she is purring.

SPEAKER_00 27:18

She's so loud. The sweetest fucking cat. She lays like a baby in your arms. She hugs you when you go to sleep. She'll get up. She wants to sleep on your chest. But if you're a side sleeper, she'll get right up on your neck and sometimes she'll put her arms around your neck and go to sleep. I love your cat. She's like, yeah, she's the best. Sometimes she looks at you like, hey, asshole, why aren't you petting me? And then the other one is around here. She is also very sweet, but she doesn't like to wreck shit from time to time.

SPEAKER_03 27:52

It's my cat.

SPEAKER_00 27:54

I'm like looking out because I've said her name, and she's like gonna jump on this keyboard and hit the exact combination of keys, which will turn me into the freakazoid. You know why I also want to do uh me and Emily did this thing called Questions in Common.

SPEAKER_03 28:11

Yes, yes. She was she was uh polling me for questions. So like And I was just like, I got nothing.

SPEAKER_00 28:16

I'm gonna read me on the spot. Pitch that to her and just say just one question. Because we were doing this question sandwich thing and we were recording it, and I was gonna like edit it, and but it was too much time. And I think, and because some of the questions were like hard questions, and that they're like your personal opinion, there's some shit maybe I need to cut out. Because you get like in your feels or whatever about a question, and you might be wrong, very much so. Yeah, maybe in like 10 years. You know what I mean?

SPEAKER_03 28:44

Like that you have a bad take, and then Well, I mean, we were talking about shit that aged poorly over time.

SPEAKER_00 28:49

Yeah. You know, like in and you're just like, Man, I don't wanna because you say stuff in the moment that you don't realize maybe is kind of crappy or whatever, or is not funny.

SPEAKER_03 28:59

Evidence the uh cutting room floor of the Aqua Tafana episode.

SPEAKER_00 29:02

Yeah, yeah. We cut we cut off so much out of some of those episodes because we would find it funny, but somebody might find it very offensive. And uh, and that's like fair because our humor is kind of dark.

SPEAKER_03 29:14

This is very, very true. Yeah. We we we we have the traumatized version of Gallo's humor.

SPEAKER_00 29:20

Yeah, yeah. It was like that, you know, somebody at work was like asked me, it was like, well, why why do you, you know, why do you laugh at some stuff sometimes? It's like, look, if you've held a person dying, like it will change your perspective on everything.

SPEAKER_03 29:34

Can confirm.

SPEAKER_00 29:35

Yeah, like it it changes how you see the world. And if you've seen enough bad shit, it's why like people can still have fun in the worst places in the world. It just kind of desensitizes you and like in ways that you have to find you have to find humor in things, or or otherwise it breaks you.

SPEAKER_03 29:52

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 29:53

And uh I I think that that shades how you see things and things become funny because they're maybe sometimes they're true. You know what?

SPEAKER_03 30:02

Yeah, and it's just like in life absurd. I I completely understand. I laughing at a funeral man. Yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_00 30:13

Yeah, it's just like, you know. Anyways, that's a pre-show. Now you know what it's called morbid Mondays. Uh and we'll be back with um uh a show about a sarin gas bombing in Japan.

SPEAKER_03 30:31

Wow! All right, once again, let's fuck it.

SPEAKER_00 30:36

Which is this is not funny at all, unfortunately. There's nothing, there's no joke to be made. It's pretty bad. Just a lot of social observation. Um why some current events might look the way that they look, uh, for good or for bad, but why they look the way they look. All right, bye. Okay, bye.
