SPEAKER_03 2:06

Take advantage of it, y'all.

SPEAKER_01 2:08

Uh, who wants to start?

SPEAKER_03 2:09

I want to start. I actually got a little story to tell. Uh actually tying it back to last week's episode where we talked about how Mexico captured real life Doctor Doom. Okay. But the week before that, though, there was this incident in Mexico, right? Where there was this thing called Terriens where people identify as animals, you know, like dogs and snakes and shit. Like, it's a real thing, right? But the Easter Who am I to judge, right? Who doesn't have kinks? Right? So I was thinking to myself, you know, I was like, I get what they're saying. I love me as a man. It's like they I think I get what they're saying. They identify as a certain person, I guess, in like their days off, right? Because being working, I gotta put in the mask. So I want to be myself. So for myself, I thought about it, hmm, not a hudo. Right? And as you can see, a little weavish. But for the most part, I was like, hmm, I actually get with the concept of samurai shampoo, right? Oh so this is the concept as you can see here. I see myself as a uh Ronin, a Catholic Ronin soccer player, you know?

SPEAKER_01 3:14

So wow that's like not only that, you cannot see it through the screen, you cannot hear it through your speakers, but he smells like sunflowers.

SPEAKER_03 3:22

That's right. Oh that was cool. I love the reference, I love the reference. If you know, you know. And part of the reference is like in my delirium, in my in my my loss of sense, right? When I go play soccer, when people go play soccer, they all wear like their kits. They some of the pretty boys. Of course, you got your streetwear, you got your good old casuals that want to look pretty, Neymars of Ronaldos, you know, because it's fancy, right? Let's think about soccer players. They look nice, right? But not this guy. This guy's weird, right? Because I love it. So I show up like this, like I wear like a bucket hat, not this hat, you know, I'm just exaggerating. But wear like a modern-day like bucket hat, new balance, a big white XL shirt. And I actually bought these Japanese pants. They're like made of linen. Because after you sweat, you want something breathable, right? Yeah, and it feels like a runin. And I say running because samurais were the ones that used to work for high-level masters, right? These are the guys you're like, wow. Ronin's lost. So runins are Ronaldo's, are your Messi's, are your soccer players, the ones that get paid to play at the highest level. You know, one can aspire to be a samurai. Yeah, you can even look at samurai's practice, you know, and I'm using samurai's reference, I'm really talking about soccer players, and see how they wield their sword or how they go about their everyday skill, right? And I, as the run-in, I say running because I go to pickup matches. You know, I just go and deliver the most excellent, like he's an independent samurai. Running, exactly. So I show up.

SPEAKER_01 4:54

King has no master.

SPEAKER_03 4:55

Can I can I join y'all? And then I bless the field, right? I throw salt and shit.

SPEAKER_01 5:02

I like that idea. You know, and I like the idea that, yeah, because uh when I used to go play soccer, even when I joined this guy, uh you do see like the players' identity come through even before they step on the field. Yes. The way they showed, like the way they show up before stepping on the field, I think it's part of the mask, you know, it's part of who they are. They they like kind of wear that mask, wear that samurai bucket hat to the field, and it like it gives us a certain air, a certain presence, you know. Yes. Like I I used to walk up in like fucking uh, you know, crocs, like really colorful crocs, you know.

SPEAKER_03 5:40

Yes, yes, I yeah.

SPEAKER_01 5:41

It shows that I care, but not too much.

unknown 5:43

Yes, yes.

SPEAKER_03 5:44

You get you guess what I'm saying? You guess exactly what I'm saying.

SPEAKER_01 5:47

And the sackback, even the backpack, the backpack that you wear, I used to take my really geeky backpack is like that shows that hey, I I like sports, but I'm also into geeky.

SPEAKER_03 5:57

Anime, yes, yes. In fact, and I'd like to be because I actually bought the Gara gourd like from from Naruto. I bought it, it comes in tomorrow. So like I even have a big ass gourd I'm gonna show up with at the saga play. I can see like working in it. I believe it's like you know what, and it feels like because like sometimes like I get the moments or like you know those those those moments of anime where the samurai is walking by and then like suddenly four ninjas show up, right?

SPEAKER_01 6:21

And right, and he just cuts them down and then he goes Not all birds are meant to fly.

SPEAKER_03 6:30

Something crazy, like the shocks is like, whoa! That's how I feel sometimes, you know.

SPEAKER_01 6:35

Oh yeah, yeah, that's cool, man.

SPEAKER_03 6:36

And like today I had a great game. It was like on my right was this young kid. Like he was young, like you could say 17, 18 year old sliding, like you're not supposed to slide tackle, but this mouth was sliding left and right. We told him to stop, but he just wouldn't, right? A little Caucasian kid. And to my left was like X big, but this guy was way bigger than Merck and stronger and like faster. Yeah. So the whole game. Fuck you first. This guy was an athlete, bro. Like, I was at the hell. No, I'm just kidding. I was just kidding. It's a reference because you're a big guy. Merc is a big guy. This guy was big girl. You know?

SPEAKER_02 7:15

He said no offense. It makes me think of that woman, bro. It's just like, hey man, I'm really tired. I'm just gonna do whatever you do today, man. You're tired and you're gonna do what I do today.

SPEAKER_03 7:25

In the brief moment, like in my insanity, like he comes in, I pull up, I pull the ball right, he slips, and then here comes the big guy coming in hard, only for me to move left, right? So I do a whoom-woom. And of course the crowds go out. But you know what it felt like? It felt like that scene with the samurai with two samurais go at him, he just does a quick Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 7:46

I picture it, I picture it. You know, you like, and you kind of went around both of them and just kept going forward. And you say like a catch phrase that you just go, you guys are not ready yet.

SPEAKER_02 7:57

Shout out to last week's episode. You only made it for you, girl. Zip zip pants.

SPEAKER_01 8:08

I can picture that. I could absolutely picture that. It's always those moments, and you know, I guess any activity could have those moments. Yeah. But I remember in soccer having those moments when I like will act a fool in the field, can I make everybody laugh? So I would be like a like I if I apply it to like his way of thinking, I would be like a like a drunken fucking uh drunken mushoe fighter out there, underestimated, look at his drunk, and all of a sudden I like fucking went around three people. But I hope in like in the I like I like that idea of like applying like a stereotypes, yeah.

The Bullying Strategy On The Field

SPEAKER_03 8:39

And that's how like and that's how I take about like there's even like a whole philosophy to it. Like I even like incorporate philosophy to it. Like, like I'm gonna bring I'm gonna be having episodes like these called like the art of war type shit. Yeah, book and fire rings type shit. Um man type shit. So here's a here's a here's the first one. Here's the first one. And I believe in this, right? The first one is called the lesson of bullying. Bullying is a tool, right? This is how we use it. This is how we're gonna use it. Now, I don't mean bullying as in you physically hurt the person you're playing against. Remember, it's just a sport, right? Don't hurt them. So, what you're gonna do on bullying is the following When the ball's passed to them, of course, you defend your heart out, try to take the ball. When they're passing the ball, you try to intercept the steal. So, but bullying means that you make that person such a liability that the team no longer can rely on that person. And now, in their mind, they're no longer playing seven on seven, they're playing six on seven because they're no longer passing it to that person. That's a strategy of bullying. Philosophy like this, I believed in. Right? And then one, it builds your confidence because one, you're taking this guy on, and here's the thing you want to bully him throughout the entire game, and I do mean it. Like, if he has the ball, you block his shot, right? If he misses, you take it, you steal it. You know, you do whatever you can that that made that person has the hit the longest game possible because that builds your confidence, that teaches you how to defend, and that teaches you how to stay calm in situations where he's being desperate. Oh no, he got the ball, he got the ball, but here you come. What's he gonna do? Make a mistake, he's gonna make a mistake again, and make another mistake, and he won't get the ball anymore, and that's how you dominate.

SPEAKER_01 10:21

And it that's a two the way it's so funny because we're speaking about soccer, so obviously we're speaking about egos in the field. Obviously, I mean, we've gotta talk about Blue Lock. There's a specific character that uses that specific technique. Really? Uh Kuro, the assassin. Oh, he has that episode in the tryouts where he assassinates uh Isagi's presence on the field. Yes, that's right. He calls out all his weaknesses and he basically shuts him out of the match by constantly shutting him down specifically. Kind of bullying him, but it's not bullying, it's just uh target target a shutdown. Yes. I don't know if then the the target would just question himself.

SPEAKER_03 11:04

You're you're nagging that player out there.

SPEAKER_01 11:05

You're nagging that player, the team no longer passes to him because they know he's doing it. You already won at that point, yeah. Yes, yeah. So it's a specific type of ego where it's not like about scoring, it's the ego where like breaking someone rather rather than taking a score is the ego of breaking someone. That is actually. So it's a different color, it's a different color ego. Yes, because we talk about blue log and all the different color of egos. There's an ego where it's just like you're you're making yourself better than somebody by shutting them down.

SPEAKER_03 11:33

And it doesn't mean verbal attack either. Like you don't have to like you know, verbally attack them.

SPEAKER_01 11:37

No, but fuck that. If you want, if you're that evil, Jesus, you know, if you have to. No, talking shit is part of the game, brother. It's true, it's true. Surely Assassin told him, he's like, you ain't shit without your teammates. I have another philosophy for that.

SPEAKER_03 11:48

But that's for another day. But for sure, if you don't have to, but if you really want to like use that strategy of bullying, and it's stuff like that that I will present, you know, type shit, you know, in uh in my delirium. So most recently I have my gorg ready, and then to me, my armor is my shin guard, so I put my shin guards, you know, and then my blades are my cleats, obviously, my shoes, right? Like Miyamoto Musashi, his his long sword was the left hand. So my left foot is my most dominant foot, because I'm left foot dominant, but I right on my right, which is weird. But then my because that's how you know how BDD anyway. My right, my right leg is my least dominant, but I still use it. We're like using practicing and over practicing, now I can make proper passes, I can control the ball, I can control pace, I can make long passes, even go shoot for score if I have to. So that's like my second sword. And at the end, you know, I I really go out of my way and thank everybody, you know, because it's all you know, like, you know, what the sat throwing in Buddhists would do, or in this case, I'm Catholic. Hey, good game, bro. You know, hey, my bad, I kicked the shit out of you, you know. I'm sorry, bro. Keep it now.

SPEAKER_01 12:50

You know, you know, just like Izagi, bro. Hey bro, great game, great game, great game, great game.

SPEAKER_03 12:57

Hey, yeah, those you're being a soccer player, go ahead and shut that down. The world needs accountants, the world needs doctors. The world needs accountants, the world needs engineers, go ahead and wrap them up, bro.

SPEAKER_00 13:09

If you see me on the city, you're not an athlete, bro.

SPEAKER_02 13:11

Yeah, you're not an athlete. You know what? You guys heard it here first. Expert condones bullying in parentheses in soccer. If you're the right way. I don't know, man. To me, that's I think I'm I'm more right leg dominant, but believe it or not, your mom's favorite leg is my third leg.

War Machine Movie Breakdown

SPEAKER_01 13:30

That's a good one. What a fucking segue. Speaking of third legs, war machine. Brand new movie out on Netflix. That's what I call my third leg.

SPEAKER_03 13:42

That sounds like a badass name. What is it about?

SPEAKER_01 13:46

So they call me in the bed war machine. That's my nickname. Shit, that's awesome.

SPEAKER_02 13:49

No, that's good. That's good.

SPEAKER_01 13:51

All right, War Machine. At first glance, it's just uh a generic uh throw away action movie, bro.

SPEAKER_02 13:56

You know?

SPEAKER_01 13:57

Throwaway action movie, but it's actually pretty cool. Uh it stars Alan Rickson. That's his name.

SPEAKER_02 14:02

I believe so. Uh uh Reacher Reacher, Jack Reacher.

SPEAKER_01 14:06

Barclay Blues. Yeah, he's Reacher, and uh, of course, Blue Mountain State. Blue Mountain State, sorry, yeah, I don't know what's happening. And a few other things. He was in DC, tight ends and everything. Yeah. Big guy, big motherfucker, bro. Massive dude. But he's fucking hilarious when he does comedy. Oh man, he can sell it. He sells it. But whenever he does a soldier, uh the action, bro. Like he sells the action. He sells the uh he's such a big guy, like he really sells like all the stunts and all the uh being blown up and like you know, being thrown around or like fighting and stuff. Yeah, all that uh so I I actually decided to watch it because uh I I love Reacher, so I love him in Reacher. So I was okay, let me check out this movie. If I wanna to summarize it, it's like Predator meets uh Terminator. So basically uh the movie starts, he has a brother and he has like a very traumatic thing that happened in Iraq or Afghanistan. Uh spoilers. So he has a BTSD, blah blah blah. A few years later, he decides he's gonna run join the Rangers.

SPEAKER_02 15:04

Right.

SPEAKER_01 15:04

So uh the movie is kind of him going through Ranger training, and then on the final day, the final assignment, they do a ranger test where they have to do a simulated, a simulated mission, 48-hour mission.

SPEAKER_02 15:16

Yeah, something like that.

SPEAKER_01 15:18

During the simulated mission, turns out throughout the movie, there's been all the reports about this asteroid like flying by Earth, of course, the typical like in the background. Hey, scientists are scientists are tracking this asteroid that's flying by Earth, and then like another report in the background.

SPEAKER_03 15:33

I don't know why I picture Bruce Well, it's fine, bitch. I'm six feet of battle LA, you know?

SPEAKER_01 15:39

Like scientists are now saying the object is splitting up into multiple objects following a pattern. But first, let's go back to the movie. Anyways, one of the objects crash lands in the in the Ranger test area, and it turns out to be this big war machine. It's like a big tank, sci-fi tank looking thing that's like Terminator Robocop 2? Robocop 2, the big one. The one that had the giant legs and side hands. You know what I'm saying? Yeah, yeah. Yeah, the two-leg one. Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 16:09

It was like a psychopath that got it put in there or something. They put his brain inside there. Yes.

SPEAKER_01 16:12

You that's the one that you think of it.

SPEAKER_02 16:16

Yeah, it's alien tech, and it has like cool and then it has like scanning uh software, kind of think of Incredibles, the first one where the the main villain, yeah, he like scans everything and shit like that to see what's alive and what's dead. That's how he determines.

SPEAKER_01 16:28

Yeah, something like that. So basically that's the gist of the movie.

SPEAKER_02 16:31

Well, who fights it? A robot? No robot, humans.

SPEAKER_01 16:34

Humans, humans, the Rangers. Take it down! It starts. The Rangers are out there with blanks scenario. So basically, you know, typical movie, half the team is just taken out, like immediately. Just blows up. The movie's actually really good.

SPEAKER_03 16:48

What's going on?

SPEAKER_01 16:49

Like, like some of the soldiers just explode. It's pretty cool.

SPEAKER_02 16:53

The real dope ass action scene though is inside the Humvee. Yeah. Oh, did you watch it then? Yeah, bro. I didn't watch all of it from beginning to end, but uh from what I did see. Yeah, they get into the Humvee scene?

SPEAKER_01 17:02

They get into uh armor, like an armor vehicle, like I I forgot what they call the AMV.

SPEAKER_00 17:07

Fuck a wee ball.

SPEAKER_01 17:08

Yeah, and they just fucking run the the like the amphibian one, you know what I'm saying? They can do like land and water. They run the tank and they're trying to escape from it, and then the war machine is just like hunting it down.

SPEAKER_02 17:18

Yeah, they have homeboy uh from reverse, uh not from reverse flash, Wally West Flash.

SPEAKER_01 17:21

Oh yeah, Wally West is in it.

SPEAKER_02 17:23

Wally West flash is in it, bro. And he's uh one of the flash series. He gets on the Gatling gun and he's like, because they they figured they get ammo, right? Homeboy dies in the process to go get ammo. When he dies, they shoot a hole through his ass. Spoiler. Spoiler, bro. So like they shot a hole through his ass. As he dies, the fucking ammo just like flies into the vehicle. And they're trying to mow it down with giant 50 cal rounds, bro. And they're like, it's it's hitting it, but it's not stopping it by the way.

SPEAKER_01 17:46

It's just not doing anything.

SPEAKER_02 17:47

It's like AI level intelligence, so it's like realizing like the area, so it's like jumping around, doing all kinds of crazy stuff. It's crazy.

SPEAKER_01 17:54

It's very interesting. Yeah. And uh they do they do put a lot of respect on the whole ranger thing. They do, 100%. Going through the ranger program. I don't know how accurate it is, but it seems like they put a lot of respect to it. Good homage, yeah. They cannot even leave it open-ended because at the end of the at the end, he finally gets back to base. Yeah, he beats the one robot. He beats the one, he finally gets back to base, and they're like, yo, they're all over the world. How in the hell did you figure out how to do this without any weapons?

SPEAKER_02 18:21

Typical typical uh it could make potential.

SPEAKER_01 18:29

Literally, yeah, because the way he basically goes and he gets on the on a black hog and is like, let's go fight some more. Ready to go back at it.

SPEAKER_02 18:36

Anybody get that guy's name? Title card. Who are machine? I died Yeah, that's it, bro.

SPEAKER_01 18:43

Pretty cool.

SPEAKER_03 18:44

Well, because if they shut it down, they're like, hey, we need your help to shut down the hunters all over the world right now.

SPEAKER_01 18:48

No, I mean he's basically they tell him he's like, you know, you're a ranger. Like here, you know, you're a ranger now. Get back out there, boy. You're a ranger, and then he's like, I gotta go fight. Yeah, he doesn't hesitate.

SPEAKER_02 19:01

Yeah, if they would have done that song, yeah, we're Kubby, bro.

SPEAKER_03 19:03

Fuck it.

SPEAKER_01 19:04

It's funny because uh, you know, at the end watching it, I was like, damn, did we even learn his name throughout the movie?

SPEAKER_02 19:09

Does it matter? War Machine.

SPEAKER_01 19:11

Because uh during training, they get their their names taken away from them. Oh, yeah, that's right. So they're a number. So 81.

SPEAKER_02 19:18

He's number Jack Reacher.

SPEAKER_01 19:20

Oh, so throughout the movie, throughout the movie, he just calls 81.

SPEAKER_00 19:23

81 get down!

SPEAKER_01 19:24

All the other soldiers, they they got numbers too, so that's how they talk to each other. 81 get to the chopper. Uh, which is part of the training, part of the ranger training. Yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_02 19:34

That real quick, that car scene, bro, that chase was so sick because he was losing all of his homeboys along the entire ride. That's what that's what movies are missing.

SPEAKER_03 19:41

I miss I was had that one dude that can carry a fucking gun in one arm with a fucking bicep.

SPEAKER_02 19:46

That's what uh that's what the expendables is, dog. Never forget the expendables is always it's that for you.

SPEAKER_01 19:55

No, but uh, you know what? It was a good movie. I mean, um obviously it's not a masterpiece or anything, but it's uh it's one of those epic popcorn, you know, blockbuster where you can just sit there for two hours and disconnect.

SPEAKER_02 20:05

Yeah, definitely. There's a cool, obvious. I mean, if you're a really good prognosticator, I'd love to see you guess the ending on it as far as like how he ends up defeating this thing.

SPEAKER_01 20:14

But you know. You know, the solution is so simple. It's like Gatlin, bro. He explains it to Upper Command and he's like, you hadn't thought of this.

SPEAKER_02 20:26

Yeah, like, damn, how long have you guys been looking at these things? Nobody else has realized this.

SPEAKER_03 20:30

So how do they shut it down?

SPEAKER_02 20:32

Just bazooka the show?

SPEAKER_01 20:33

Big spoilers, big spoilers.

SPEAKER_02 20:34

Big spoilers. If you guys can skip this, go go 10 seconds or 15 seconds. Spoiler. So they end up just throwing rocks inside of it and blocking the venting system and it overheads. Overheats like a car and it explodes.

SPEAKER_01 20:46

Yeah, you basically block the grill.

SPEAKER_02 20:49

They did it in the very beginning with his brother. Like they showed that at the very beginning.

SPEAKER_03 20:52

Millions of years traveled and they didn't think of that shit.

SPEAKER_02 20:54

Yep. Yep. No. Exhaust.

SPEAKER_01 20:56

Anyway, no exhaust. So block the exhaust. Right back into it, ladies and gentlemen.

SPEAKER_02 21:00

Yeah, so that was our little recap of the film. I mean, it was good, man. Like I said, for a good little action flick, I was like, oh, I was like, I feel like we should have kept that expoiler out.

SPEAKER_01 21:07

Nah, fuck it.

SPEAKER_02 21:08

You guys are fine. You're grown-up adults.

SPEAKER_01 21:10

Num not that many people watch that movie.

SPEAKER_02 21:13

Hopefully, we sold you on it and you go watch it. You know what I'm saying? Go support. We could be wrong. For all we know, it could be, you know, just uh Iron Man 2, for all we know. You don't know. You know, it's the silver guy. Who knows?

SPEAKER_01 21:24

Yeah. If anything, watch it while you pass the time. Because tomorrow or this week, depending on when you're hearing this episode, Netflix is dropping something big. Just like my One Piece live action season two. That's right, ladies and gentlemen. That's why I got my straw hat on. If you were wondering why I got a random hat, it's not because I went to go play soccer, it's because we're excited for the one piece season two.

SPEAKER_02 21:50

He's Cows playing Luffy, ladies and gentlemen. That's right.

SPEAKER_01 21:52

So we're gonna watch it. I mean, I'm definitely gonna bench it in a couple of days. So come back next week. Come back next week. And watch us break down all of season two best moments. And not too many spoilers, but uh just giving you a heads up, watch it before our next episode.

SPEAKER_02 22:07

Absolutely. Give you guys something to get grounded on for the coming episode for next week. But man, I'm really excited. Everybody looks at their ex pumped. All the chemistry from the actors is still there.

SPEAKER_01 22:16

The chemistry is still there. And I think Beavie, I think BV fits in really well with the cast.

SPEAKER_03 22:20

Did it basically selected them? Like Oda, like so Oda selected the voice actors based on the manga. And then he selected the actors based on the voice actors based on the manga. Like Oda had heavy selecting.

SPEAKER_01 22:38

He had the final zero approval. They had to do casting, but then he was the final exactly.

SPEAKER_03 22:43

Without spoilers, it's like whenever I see Inaaki, the actor, and the guy and the actor that plays Sanji. Yes. During that tenure of when the first season came out, I was happening to be watching Whole Cake Island. And that relationship is like Oda saw that, and I think like then like I just want to spoil it for somebody here, but like Oda knew what he saw with these actors, and he was like, yes, like these two are like and her and him.

SPEAKER_02 23:09

Yeah, the relationships that you can definitely see that are there, and you see it with Dr. Korea as far as her character design instead of the way she ended up turning out was phenomenal. Jamie Lee Curtis would have been a great character to actually have in there.

SPEAKER_03 23:29

I don't know if that's real or not.

SPEAKER_02 23:31

I don't know if that's real or not, but the fact that it's even on the table would be sick. It looks a lot like it.

SPEAKER_03 23:35

It's the attitude too. He would do it. It's the attitude too, like, hey, just show up and just don't say shit.

SPEAKER_02 23:40

He could do it. He could definitely do it. Especially if they just like CGI.

SPEAKER_03 23:44

Because he has like three lines. He's like, I gotta do this.

SPEAKER_01 23:47

And he'll do it slow, too. He'll be like, we'll save the wrap this conversation for next week.

SPEAKER_03 23:51

Yes, more.

Draft Anxiety And Vietnam Fragging

SPEAKER_02 23:53

I don't know what the sound is for. Anyway, but no, uh real quick, last little minute. Something. Gonna be something.

SPEAKER_01 24:01

Well, I know we're talking about war, and you're talking about getting drafted.

SPEAKER_03 24:05

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 24:06

What is it good for?

SPEAKER_03 24:09

Absolutely no sing it again.

SPEAKER_01 24:11

Anyway.

SPEAKER_02 24:13

Getting drafted, am I right, guys? It's scary. Where are we dropping, boys?

SPEAKER_01 24:17

Where are we dropping, boys? It's gonna seem to be a reality.

SPEAKER_02 24:20

I'm more of a jungler kind of guy.

SPEAKER_01 24:22

I mean, I'm more of a sniper type shooter.

SPEAKER_02 24:25

You know, man, I thought the things that were crazy that used to save you back in the day were like being in school, and they're like, nah, we're still gonna take care of this. And I'm like, damn, why?

SPEAKER_01 24:32

Go ahead and pick them up.

SPEAKER_02 24:33

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 24:33

You know, it's crazy because the last draft was Vietnam, I think. I believe. I don't know when the last like forced draft was, but I think it was Vietnam era.

SPEAKER_02 24:41

Didn't people have a problem with that war too? I'm just saying. Yes.

SPEAKER_01 24:44

Yeah. Apparently back then and right now, there's a lot of Google searches for a term called fragon. Oh, bro. And this comes from Those videos are what this comes from a hopefully this doesn't get taken down. This comes from a Vietnam era practice.

SPEAKER_03 25:00

I've seen those TikTok videos about like how like small those holes were where like, bro, like one foot will fall, fucking will get stagged by a bamboo, and then snakes will be around it too. Like I don't think that's what he's talking about.

SPEAKER_01 25:11

That's what I'm talking about. But I know fraging fragran is a practice back then in the military where like if the soldiers at the grunts didn't agree with their with their commanding officer, they would throw a frag grenade at their feet. To take out the commanding officer. To take out the commanding officer or to seriously hurt them.

SPEAKER_02 25:27

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 25:27

So that way they didn't have to take the k take command from the way it was particularly in place during the Vietnam era because so many of them disagreed with the war, and so many of them were sent on basic, basically suicide missions because of the traps that he's talking about to an area that just could not be taken over, that they started like basically some kind of silent protest against their commanding officer where they would just fragmentate their officer. And then it would be it would be called an accident, but they gave it a name for it. Yeah, basically the whole platoon will go home because they didn't have a commanding officer. Everybody just got blown up. So after that, they gave it a name, and even to this day, even before this war, if you knew too much about that term and what it was and the history of it, that would disqualify you from joining the military because you need too much about it.

SPEAKER_02 26:14

No, guess what I know about not black.

SPEAKER_01 26:16

Yeah, that's why the TikTok videos are going around. So everybody knows the history of frag in and the history of things that could disqualify you from being in the military. And just to look back, look back at the Vietnam era and how people resisted the the the draft back then. Yeah, man. Even Trump didn't get drafted back then.

SPEAKER_03 26:34

Yeah, bonus purse. Yeah. It ruined Muhammad Ali's career. Yeah, man. It's crazy times, bro.

SPEAKER_01 26:41

But you've seen you've seen some of that fragging stuff, right?

SPEAKER_02 26:44

I have seen it, bro. I've seen it uh whenever ICE was recruiting people or whatever, and there was like me fragging my commander after he had that 50,000 bonus hits my account.

SPEAKER_03 26:51

I've seen a, you know what's funny? I remember like I think it was last year when like the Marines were in LA or something like that. Do you remember that? It was like they were playing uh homegirl Hanoi, I think is her name, Hannah Hanoi, and it was like a speaker they used to play over like in the jungle areas of Vietnam, and she'd be like, G. Your your government has abandoned you. GI, go home. G. I, they will bomb you from the sky. And like the hardest one was like, G. They will give you an award, a medal, but only after you are dead. Like it was crazy. Like they would put on speakers, bro, for the for the soldiers to hear that shit, dude.

SPEAKER_00 27:28

Yeah, that's why.

SPEAKER_03 27:29

And they're playing that in LA for the soldiers to hear. And then now that the new one is like, GI, you're dying for a foreign country. And look, and now today it's the new one. There's a new one out that is explicit what's going on. GI. You still gotta go to work tomorrow? Yeah, no, G.I. still, the one it's like G.I. You're here dying, but your honey is back home with other men. Like that, bro. Like, it's crazy, dog. Come along. But anyway, samurai, yeah.

SPEAKER_01 27:59

But yeah, I mean, with this whole thing, it's getting dark out there, so you know, check your check your history.

SPEAKER_02 28:04

Get right, brother, with God.

SPEAKER_01 28:06

You know, like uh check your browser history, you know, and do a little bit of research because it's in there. History repeats itself.
