This week, guest masochist George Hrab joins us for a movie that rejects the theories of Zecharia Sitchin for not being unrealistic enough.

WHOOOOOOOOOOOO Roboriders! Not as Good as Bionicle though.

Hello boys, I wanted to ask if you know of a Youtuber MyfriendscallmePat, a funny and growing channel that does movie and tv reviews, he did the whole of Daily Wire's stupid cartoon and went through all the God's Not Dead movies, would be a great colab IMO, funny, and knowledgeable about film. Plus he already watches so much trash it wouldn't even be torture. Love the Pod, watching the movie now....

The Gossamer reference is chefs fuckin kiss, whaaaaat

Markus Nävergård

the Summerian gods, was it not them in their 7 th generation that created humans because the Gods did not want to toil and work the earth? Also, doesnt the bible kinda steal alot from ancient summeria? Like the flood? And the leviathan is just legally distinct Tiamat?

I've never asked anyone about it, but I figure that cleaning blood off your sword is a good thing to do because you don't want it to get all gross and sticky in the sheath if you can help it.

The plot of this thing sounds like it’s stolen from the same Arthur C Clarke book that helped drive Alex Jones crazy.

Andrew Gibson

George was great, hope he comes in again.

I'm not going to get my hopes up that Jenny Nicholson will be on the show next week, but she's the one person who I know is very into the Church of the Rock plays.

Y’all just zoomed right passed ‘bitch pleiades’ ! 😂🤣

Some swords, especially larger swords, don’t have sheaths, and it could be a valid intimidation technique, but only for a short time. I would worry about the blood corroding the sword.

I've never listened to George Hrab before I was missing out

James Robbins

Been a fan of George Hrab ever since his amazing song "God is not Great." Definitely check that out.

I remember Eli’s hot take being that grown ups don’t drink milk. I remember because I very strongly agreed

Markus D

That's true, but I was just thinking of the type of sword that the guy probably has. The blood would definitely help to rust the blade. People didn't clean their swords mid-battle, but you definitely would afterwards.

Markus D

Except for hot chocolate, I pretty much live by that. I use milk in cereal, but I find it unpleasant to drink. But on a wider scale "adults don't drink milk" is actually really valid, because the majority of humans aren't lactose-tolerant as adults (something normal for mammals). Drinking (unfermented) milk is something that is very European and spread via colonization to the Americas, but it's not universal, just "normalized".

This movie was a trip, but the part that KILLED ME was that the end slide where it says "Watch for the day is coming -Saint Mark", the F is in Papyrus but NONE OF THE OTHER LETTERS ARE

this sounds like some grandpa heard his grandchild talking about Evangelion and went “huh…aliens are angels…”

Corn Puddin'

Google " bear porn". I dare you.

George is awesome, please make him a regular masochist! I mean, use force and everything...

ROBORIDERS MENTIONED

I'm imagining Cara dialing the phone while popping an anti-anxiety pill: "Yeah George. No, they're really nice guys. Yeah, yeah, the movies are always nice. Yeah, nice. Really nice. No, oh no. SURE I'd love to do another show with them (pops another pill). But, no, yeah, I've got to, to, ummm clean my sweaters, umm, you know and other stuff... No, no, you'll love it. Yeah, REALLY. Well, gotta go kbye!"

How IQ is calculated: No, we don't use the ratio method that Noah described in the podcast. The ratio method is (mental age / chronological age) * 100. It's not very useful for a number of reasons, not the least of which is it stops making sense very quickly as people age. So, the ratio method went out of style in the 70s and 80s (but the public still thought it was being used well into the 90s). Instead, we use deviation IQs. Deviation IQ has a mean of 100 and a standard deviation of 15. It's calculated by comparing your performance to that of your age peers. 100 is average performance for your age. 115 is at the 84th percentile (better than 84 out of 100 age peers). 85 is at the 16th percentile. So, an IQ of 130 is 2 standard deviations above the mean. (Hint: People who want to lie about having a high IQ: 130 is a believable lie.) An IQ of 180 would be more than 5 standard deviations above the mean. An IQ of 200 would be almost 7 standard deviations above the mean, at the 99.99999999999999th percentile... Here's the thing: Even if those numbers weren't inherently bullshit, most quality modern IQ tests don't *give* scores above 160 (4 sd above the mean). That's the max score you can possibly get. The test doesn't go any higher than that. So, claiming to have an IQ of 180 is like claiming you got 1800 on your SATs or your podcast is rated 8 out of 5 stars.

Fudgie the Whale! Tom Carvel commercials were truly the best of the worst. Also you wipe the blood from the blade for 2 reasons, 1 because you don't want to let whatever you cut thru dry on the blade, as it will create more friction the next time you cut with it. Have you ever cut onions with a kitchen knife, and not wiped it down and come back to it dried and kinda crusty... Same deal. 2 the sheath is probably made of wood or leather, and the inside of the sheath is usually unpainted, untreated, and not sealed, you don't want that absorbing into the wood or leather, it would probably start to smell rancid with time and accumulation.

Can someone point me to which bonus episode has the Breakfast prank? PS George is great, would be delighted for him to come back for more!

Cleaning blood off a sword is important for a few reasons. One is that blood can flow down the blade onto the hilt making it slippery to hold onto. Another is that blood on the blade can dampen the impact and thus reduce the cutting power of the edge, in effect making it react as though dull when you try to use it. The final reason is the least important in the middle of combat, but the most important long-term: a blade covered in blood will be more likely to rust. Blood is basically salt water with an iron supplement, and salt water provokes oxidation in ferrous metals. Swords aren't made of stainless steel unless they're only for decoration.

I feel like you've won a special place in Cecil's heart.
