Welcome back everyone!
00:00:25
This is our bonus episode for our episode about droids.
00:00:27
We're going to be answering a couple questions and then playing an exotic segment today,
00:00:32
would you rather?
00:00:33
So make sure you stay till then to catch some, I don't even know how to say it, catch some
00:00:38
interesting scenarios.
00:00:40
I promise not to bring up anything about a HUD this time, promise.
00:00:43
Pinkie promise.
00:00:44
I was about to say what are the odds there's a HUD involved.
00:00:48
I pinky promise that I will not mention anything about fucking a HUD.
00:00:53
Anyways, one of the questions that we have today, these are kind of like, oh god, do
00:00:57
you just, this is such a deep ass question.
00:00:59
Jesus fucking.
00:01:00
All right.
00:01:01
Anyways, you guys ready?
00:01:02
So the question is, can the fall of the Republic and the rise of the Empire be seen as a cautionary
00:01:08
tale about the dangers of unchecked power and authoritarianism?
00:01:11
Oh wait, authoritarianism, sorry.
00:01:14
Let me review that.
00:01:15
Let's see.
00:01:16
We're really getting political this time, huh?
00:01:18
I guess so.
00:01:19
Let's see.
00:01:20
Can the fall of the Republic and the rise of the Empire be seen as a cautionary tale
00:01:24
about the dangers of unchecked power and authoritarianism?
00:01:27
I mean, I feel like when a dude gets up on the fucking Senate floor and says, I am the
00:01:33
Senate now, you know, maybe it's possible.
00:01:37
I don't know.
00:01:38
Like, you know, if you're elected officials suddenly decides that he wants to rule forever
00:01:42
as the new dictator slash emperor, you could draw some parallels to modern day politics
00:01:50
or something.
00:01:51
That's crazy.
00:01:52
All I'm saying is if Trump rose up with a fucking, you know, black cloak on and everything
00:01:56
and his face all shriveled up, we might be in for a treat.
00:01:59
He's already shriveled up.
00:02:00
A little bit more shriveled up, you know.
00:02:02
Palpatine was a little bit more shriveled up than the two candidates we have now.
00:02:06
Well, just a little bit.
00:02:07
I think that the question, like, I don't know, I feel like the question is pretty obvious.
00:02:12
I feel like it's asking if it can all be seen as a cautionary tale.
00:02:15
I feel like that's kind of like the only way you can really see it, honestly.
00:02:18
Like that specific part, the fall of the Republic and the rise of the Empire.
00:02:22
Yeah, as when she said, it's just like a dude who came into a power by like over the course
00:02:26
of playing both sides of a war and changing like political decrees to give him certain,
00:02:32
you know, like indefinite, inextinguishable powers.
00:02:35
Like, I mean, yeah, like that's exactly what that is.
00:02:38
Like that's a person abusing the system to accumulate more power until he has time enough
00:02:43
to get rid of anyone who would like outwardly oppose him and then just haha, like it's all
00:02:47
mine now.
00:02:48
Like, yeah, definitely.
00:02:50
Definitely a tale about the dangers of unchecked power and authoritarianism.
00:02:54
All right, so that one's done.
00:02:56
All right.
00:02:57
Oh, God, another political question.
00:02:59
Okay, here we go.
00:03:00
What political ideologies are present in the Galactic Republic, the Galactic Empire and
00:03:05
the Rebel Alliance?
00:03:06
Fuck, we're going to be here all day.
00:03:08
Well, I mean, it's a galaxy of trillions of beings.
00:03:12
There's going to be a ridiculous amount of political views and opinions and whatnot.
00:03:17
Probably every opinion you could think of that people have today about politics or view
00:03:21
or whatever.
00:03:22
They had the same shit in Star Wars plus some because there's plenty of issues that they
00:03:27
would have in Star Wars that we wouldn't like fucking hypers cleaning up hyper like hyperspace
00:03:33
lanes all that kind of like you got to got to have a garbage guy for that sometimes,
00:03:37
right?
00:03:38
Got to clear the asteroids off the lanes, just the infrastructure.
00:03:41
Say what?
00:03:42
I was making a joke off the Hydean Way because it's like a freeway.
00:03:46
Sorry.
00:03:47
I get it.
00:03:48
I get it.
00:03:49
Kill the vibe.
00:03:50
I'm sorry.
00:03:51
We have trillions of beings, we have billions on earth and look at how many different political,
00:03:56
religious, whatever views we have.
00:03:58
And they're also aliens and droids and the fact that people can clone other people and
00:04:06
are the bugs really sentient?
00:04:07
Maybe.
00:04:08
Yeah, I agree with Winchie.
00:04:09
Like the question again, to just repeat says what political ideologies are present in the
00:04:14
Galactic Republic, the Galactic Empire and the Rebel Alliance?
00:04:17
Like, yeah, we have a mosh.
00:04:18
You have people in the Alliance disagreeing over shit all the time.
00:04:21
It was one of the first, you know, converged efforts between, you know, guerrilla factions
00:04:27
of humans and nonhumans.
00:04:29
You know, there's different cultures and shit and all that shit have to come together.
00:04:33
So like that one right there is the fucking melting pot of melting pots that you can get
00:04:37
from those three groups.
00:04:38
The Galactic Empire, I mean, like if you're talking about like the political ideologies
00:04:43
of Palpatine, like one head with a bureaucratic process and big, big naval power.
00:04:50
Like that's their ideology.
00:04:52
They just want to control everything and blow shit to smithereens when it disagrees with
00:04:57
them.
00:04:58
And then the Galactic Republic, I feel like it's kind of like the best mesh of those two
00:05:02
things because the Rebel Alliance, like it became the New Republic, but it was just like,
00:05:06
you know, a concerted effort from just people around.
00:05:10
And then that's where you have the melting pot.
00:05:13
Then the Galactic Empire is all about structure and nothing else.
00:05:17
I feel like the Galactic Republic is the best of those two.
00:05:20
Where you have the structure, you have the independence, you know, it's like a democratic
00:05:25
republic.
00:05:26
You elect people for your planet, send them to the Galactic Senate and have them represent
00:05:30
you.
00:05:31
And so like you have, you know, a centralized and decentralized governing body that meets
00:05:38
the needs of its people as well as the needs of the greater good for the most part, just
00:05:43
to make sure that everyone lives in harmony.
00:05:44
I think that like they're the one that can include the most political ideologies realistically
00:05:53
because people are going to fight in the hodgepodge alliance.
00:05:57
The empire is what I say is law, so there's no agreement, but the Galactic Republic gives
00:06:01
everyone a bit of a voice and it's probably more representative of the people.
00:06:05
So that's how I feel about that.
00:06:06
My brain had to work for more than 30 seconds on something and it's just fucking I'm tired
00:06:11
now.
00:06:12
I'm out of breath.
00:06:13
We can tell.
00:06:14
Political questions suck.
00:06:15
I know right?
00:06:16
Fuck I don't want to think about politics.
00:06:18
God damn it, who asked these?
00:06:19
Fucking Jason.
00:06:20
I love you Jason.
00:06:21
God damn.
00:06:22
There's like five of these.
00:06:23
Did you have any, you said what you had to say about, wait no, did you say anything
00:06:24
exotic or was it just me and Winchie?
00:06:25
Those are C2.
00:06:26
I don't really have, I don't really feel like thinking about politics to be honest.
00:06:27
You know what?
00:06:28
That is a very fair answer.
00:06:29
I'm not going to lie.
00:06:30
I'm not going to lie.
00:06:31
I'm not going to lie.
00:06:32
I'm not going to lie.
00:06:33
I'm not going to lie to be honest.
00:06:36
You know what?
00:06:37
That is a very fair answer.
00:06:38
I am so tired of hearing anything political.
00:06:39
I just want to break.
00:06:40
I'm tired.
00:06:41
Especially with this fuckin week up coming.
00:06:42
Fuck that shit.
00:06:43
I'm overstimulated.
00:06:44
I got to talk politics on my god damn Star Wars show.
00:06:48
I guess Star Wars is a big amount of politics.
00:06:52
I'd rather talk space politics in my home.
00:06:55
All right you can go ahead and queue up exotic you.
00:06:58
You ready for a, for would-you-rather?
00:07:00
Would you rather?
00:07:01
Yeah, that's pretty much what I was doing
00:07:02
while y'all were answering the questions.
00:07:04
I'll get you to a dedicated co-host.
00:07:07
Yeah, surely.
00:07:08
Who's surely?
00:07:08
You are.
00:07:09
Am I beautiful?
00:07:10
No.
00:07:11
Fucked up.
00:07:12
You're beautiful in your own way, I love that.
00:07:14
You know what?
00:07:14
That's the nicest thing you've ever said to me.
00:07:16
I'll take it.
00:07:17
But welcome to another, I guess,
00:07:20
week of would you rather?
00:07:22
This week, it's going to be,
00:07:24
would you rather get hunted by a trend ocean for sport
00:07:27
or hunted by a group of Ewoks for food?
00:07:30
Trend ocean for sport.
00:07:31
Is there a nickname for the race of trend ocean people
00:07:35
that you might want to make people aware of?
00:07:37
I just wanna.
00:07:38
Feel free if you don't,
00:07:39
I don't know off the top of my head.
00:07:41
Oh, they're called trannies, trend oceans.
00:07:43
And now we're canceled.
00:07:44
Well, it was good having a podcast with y'all.
00:07:50
Okay, so what was the question again you were asking?
00:07:53
Would you rather be hunted by trend oceans for sport
00:07:56
or by Ewoks for food?
00:08:00
Yeah.
00:08:01
How many Ewoks?
00:08:02
Like the whole clan?
00:08:03
Like all of them?
00:08:04
Yep, all of them for Mendoor.
00:08:08
Nah, give me the fucking trend oceans
00:08:09
cause they not gonna kill me outright.
00:08:11
It's gonna take a while, they gonna beat me,
00:08:12
then they gonna cook me alive.
00:08:14
Just fucking kill me.
00:08:16
The trend oceans don't cook you,
00:08:17
the trend oceans will skin you alive.
00:08:18
No, I'm talking about the Ewoks.
00:08:21
No, a trend ocean, yeah,
00:08:22
but no matter what the trend ocean does,
00:08:24
it's gonna be a lot faster
00:08:26
than whatever the fucking Ewoks are gonna do.
00:08:28
So get me out of there as soon as possible.
00:08:30
Ewoks are bloodthirsty little-
00:08:33
Munchkins.
00:08:34
Carnivore.
00:08:35
I do not wanna get clubbed to death and beat with rocks.
00:08:37
I just cut my head off.
00:08:38
Just shoot me in the chest, shoot me in the head.
00:08:40
Like you fucking peel me, skin me, fuck it, I'll take that.
00:08:43
But don't beat my ass with rocks and sticks
00:08:46
and then cook me.
00:08:47
No, I'm not about that.
00:08:49
Yep, I probably have to agree.
00:08:50
Trend oceans for sport,
00:08:51
cause I mean we only really see on screen
00:08:54
that one Clone Wars episode
00:08:56
where they're hunting all the fucking younglings
00:08:58
and the Wookiees come and beat their ass.
00:09:00
That was pretty funny.
00:09:01
But the Ewoks, fucking,
00:09:03
I still have PTSD from Battlefront, the Ewok hunts.
00:09:06
She was fucking spooky.
00:09:07
I still have PTSD.
00:09:09
They added an Ewok character
00:09:11
to the fucking Star Wars Hunters game.
00:09:14
And it's an Ewok that rides a fucking AT-ST or whatever.
00:09:19
What the fuck?
00:09:20
Yeah. Yeah.
00:09:21
It's fucking annoying too.
00:09:22
And he calls it the AT-ET
00:09:24
cause it's all terrain Ewok transport.
00:09:28
That's wild.
00:09:29
And he shoots fucking explosives.
00:09:31
So imagine running through the forest,
00:09:33
forest moon of Endor.
00:09:35
And all you hear in his yub yub
00:09:36
as rocks and sticks are flying out of the fricking bushes
00:09:40
and everything.
00:09:41
I'm good.
00:09:41
I'm good.
00:09:42
Yub yub commander.
00:09:43
At least we don't have Ewoks and Y-Wings
00:09:45
like from the new Lego series.
00:09:48
I'd much prefer that
00:09:49
after hearing the yub yub commander story.
00:09:51
So I love Ewoks and spaceships.
00:09:53
I don't like Ewoks beating my ass
00:09:55
and then cooking and eating me.
00:09:57
Well, I mean, they're gonna like shoot your spaceship down
00:09:59
and then come get your ass to eat you.
00:10:01
I'd rather take that.
00:10:03
No, cause if they blow me up in space, that's it.
00:10:05
That's quicker than the Tran-Ocean can do it.
00:10:07
I love the Ewoks and space theory.
00:10:09
I do not like Ewoks on the fucking forest moon of Endor.
00:10:12
I don't know, but do you think it would be easier
00:10:13
to run away from an Ewok or a Tran-Ocean?
00:10:15
Easier?
00:10:16
An Ewok.
00:10:17
But they outnumber me.
00:10:18
They not gonna rest.
00:10:19
They gonna fucking hit me with rocks or big logs
00:10:22
or fucking whatever they do until they fucking,
00:10:26
I'm gonna tire out before them
00:10:27
and they have terrain advantage and they blend in.
00:10:30
And they can design complex traps.
00:10:33
And I am a simple idiot.
00:10:34
Are you sure that the Ewoks designed those
00:10:36
or was that some like help from the rebels?
00:10:37
They designed the one that caught everybody originally.
00:10:42
So it's just like a net.
00:10:43
I mean, that's complex enough for me.
00:10:45
Definitely complex enough for Nikita to get caught.
00:10:48
I do not deny these accusations.
00:10:51
I mean, I think there's quite a few traps.
00:10:53
That would be easy for Nikita to get caught in.
00:10:55
Yes, okay.
00:10:56
I keep saying, I agree.
00:10:57
Why are you guys still hopping on me for this?
00:11:00
What else do I say?
00:11:02
Would you rather have the voice in your head
00:11:04
be Jar Jar Binks or your own mother?
00:11:06
My mom.
00:11:07
I think I would probably not want to continue living
00:11:10
if I had Jar Jar Binks in my head.
00:11:12
Bro, I don't wanna continue living
00:11:13
after having to make a fucking choice.
00:11:16
I have a black mother, but Jar Jar.
00:11:18
But black mother, but Jar Jar.
00:11:20
What?
00:11:21
I don't wanna have to make, I have to make a choice?
00:11:23
Yeah.
00:11:24
Fuck, come back to me.
00:11:25
God, this one's giving me PTSD.
00:11:27
I'm gonna take Jar Jar.
00:11:28
That's crazy.
00:11:29
I feel like it would make me a happier person in general
00:11:32
if the voice inside my head was Jar Jar.
00:11:35
So wait for clarification.
00:11:36
It's still me.
00:11:38
It just sound like Jar Jar?
00:11:39
Yeah.
00:11:40
Oh, okay, I'll take Jar Jar.
00:11:41
That's crazy.
00:11:42
I'd be a very bitter person.
00:11:44
Nah, it's me.
00:11:45
I just sound like Jar Jar.
00:11:46
That's okay.
00:11:47
I'll take that.
00:11:48
You're not gonna make it through episode one
00:11:49
just because of Jar Jar?
00:11:50
Oh, there's some kind of your mom joke I could make,
00:11:52
but it's too early for me.
00:11:55
Like if it's still you,
00:11:56
it's still like you as the voice of your mom.
00:11:58
I don't wanna sound like my mom.
00:11:59
So you're gonna try to sound like Jar Jar?
00:12:01
Yes.
00:12:02
That's crazy.
00:12:03
No doubt in my mind.
00:12:03
Double it and give it back to me.
00:12:06
Like, I cannot, I could not have my mom's voice.
00:12:11
No, fuck no.
00:12:12
Give me Jar Jar.
00:12:14
Fucking triple it and give it back to me.
00:12:16
Jesus Christ.
00:12:17
It's been lost real.
00:12:19
That's crazy.
00:12:19
Dude, there's no way.
00:12:20
There's no way.
00:12:22
The only advantage I can see is that like,
00:12:24
nah, dude, it's gonna drive me crazy.
00:12:26
Cause like, like if you have to live
00:12:29
to see your mom pass away,
00:12:31
and then like her voice is always,
00:12:33
you're gonna go crazy.
00:12:34
You're done.
00:12:35
It's over.
00:12:36
Imagine telling yourself
00:12:38
that you need to do stuff all the time.
00:12:40
You're like, oh, I need to wash the fucking dishes.
00:12:42
But then it's your mom's voice telling you,
00:12:44
you need to wash the dishes.
00:12:45
I'm good.
00:12:46
I'm a lot better than Misa need to wash dishes.
00:12:49
No it isn't.
00:12:50
No it is not.
00:12:52
Yes it is.
00:12:53
No.
00:12:54
That's, we can agree to disagree.
00:12:55
Bro, when you're forced to be smart all day,
00:12:58
you want the solitude of your mind to be kind of stupid.
00:13:04
That's what I'm saying.
00:13:05
I feel like it'd make me a happier person in general,
00:13:08
because all my inner thoughts would be like,
00:13:10
you need to pay the bills.
00:13:12
Ha ha ha ha ha ha.
00:13:13
Ha ha ha ha ha ha.
00:13:15
I would definitely want to blow my brains out
00:13:17
if that's what my inner voice sounded like.
00:13:19
The electricity bill was bomb bad this month.
00:13:22
Ha ha ha ha ha.
00:13:24
Shut the fuck up.
00:13:25
Ha ha ha ha ha.
00:13:29
I fucking hate you.
00:13:31
Oh.
00:13:32
Oh.
00:13:33
Ha ha ha ha ha.
00:13:35
Fucking piece of,
00:13:36
what do I get for eating?
00:13:38
Ha ha ha ha ha ha.
00:13:40
Ha ha ha ha ha.
00:13:42
Okay.
00:13:44
Okay.
00:13:45
Ha ha ha ha ha.
00:13:45
Fuck, I need some water.
00:13:47
Okay.
00:13:48
I think now that y'all said that,
00:13:49
I think we just need to have an episode
00:13:51
where y'all are just in charge of our voice the entire time.
00:13:53
I mean, I can commit to that.
00:13:54
So y'all can learn your mistake.
00:13:56
No, because I promise you,
00:13:58
when me and Win Sheet,
00:13:59
the only one who's gonna suffer is you.
00:14:03
We play fucking D&D with a fucking Gungan.
00:14:07
Yeah, we've got some material stocked up.
00:14:12
I might be sick that episode then.
00:14:14
Ha ha ha ha ha.
00:14:17
Yeah, I was like, buddy,
00:14:18
I don't think you know what you're asking for.
00:14:20
Ha ha ha ha.
00:14:22
Oh, okay.
00:14:23
Y'all ready for mine?
00:14:24
As long as it doesn't involve drugs,
00:14:26
huts or sex, yeah.
00:14:28
Well, fuck.
00:14:29
I just said no fucking the huts,
00:14:31
but you just...
00:14:33
Anyways, I'm gonna still proceed regardless.
00:14:35
Fuck his rules.
00:14:36
So would you rather drink Corellian brandy
00:14:40
to alcohol poisoning
00:14:42
or take a hit from Jabba the Hutz snackquarium hookah?
00:14:48
Is it like after Jabba the Hutz used it?
00:14:50
He's always used it.
00:14:51
Or is it just like a fresh one?
00:14:53
It's Jabba the Hutz snackquarium hookah.
00:14:58
I'm getting alcohol poisoning.
00:15:00
Ha ha ha ha ha.
00:15:02
I'd rather die from alcohol poisoning
00:15:04
than go anywhere near something
00:15:05
that's been in Jabba the Hutz mouth.
00:15:07
Dude, it can't be that bad.
00:15:09
Dude, it's alcohol poisoning.
00:15:10
It's like Corellian brandy alcohol poisoning.
00:15:15
Your liver would just not survive.
00:15:17
My statement stands.
00:15:18
Ha ha ha ha ha.
00:15:20
What did she want from you?
00:15:22
I'm gonna take the hookah.
00:15:24
Oh, let's go.
00:15:26
Let's go.
00:15:27
I already don't like alcohol that much.
00:15:30
I'll take one hit from fucking Jabba's thing
00:15:33
over puking my guts out and having liver failure.
00:15:37
You don't know what type of bacteria is in Jabba's mouth.
00:15:39
And?
00:15:40
Bro, you gotta go through being tipsy, drunk,
00:15:43
blackout, and then alcohol poisoning.
00:15:45
At least I know what I'm getting myself into.
00:15:47
Do you?
00:15:48
You won't.
00:15:49
You won't.
00:15:49
Even if you survive the alcohol poisoning,
00:15:51
like the fallout of the blackout,
00:15:53
you still gotta deal with.
00:15:54
That's too much.
00:15:55
I don't know.
00:15:56
Surely Jabba has like space herpes or some shit?
00:15:58
I don't know.
00:15:58
I think a being that can live thousands of years
00:16:01
is getting space herpes.
00:16:03
You don't know what type of fucking
00:16:04
anatomy that motherfucker has?
00:16:06
You're right, I don't.
00:16:07
But better, I don't know.
00:16:09
I'm taking the hookah.
00:16:10
Shit, and if it's that good shit,
00:16:12
I might hit it twice.
00:16:14
And he got snacks.
00:16:15
Man, I think he'd be hitting something
00:16:17
other than just the hookah, but okay.
00:16:18
You know what?
00:16:19
High sex is the best sex.
00:16:21
You're not gonna make me feel ashamed
00:16:22
for my love of slimy things.
00:16:24
I refuse to back down.
00:16:25
You do you, I guess.
00:16:26
And I have been and always will be.
00:16:28
Me.
00:16:29
And he bought it up and broke it.
00:16:30
Nope, nope, I didn't.
00:16:31
Exotic bought it up.
00:16:33
I never say anything about fucking.
00:16:35
Yeah, no, I did not break my promise.
00:16:37
Exotic brought that shit up.
00:16:39
You never promised nothing.
00:16:40
Yeah, but the promise was that you weren't
00:16:42
gonna talk about it.
00:16:43
He brought it up!
00:16:44
But you said you weren't gonna talk about it.
00:16:46
You know what?
00:16:47
He opened the can of worms.
00:16:48
I refuse to be held responsible
00:16:50
for the consequences of my own actions.
00:16:52
That's a I'm not willing to admit I'm wrong energy right there.
00:16:56
I'm not willing to admit I'm wrong.
00:16:58
Not this time.
00:16:59
He brought it up.
00:17:00
He baited me.
00:17:01
You guys know I have one fucking brain cell on a good day.
00:17:05
It's early in the morning.
00:17:06
Leave me alone.
00:17:07
I think you're at probably like a quarter.
00:17:08
So it's not a good day?
00:17:10
It's too early to tell.
00:17:12
Definitely I'm probably about like
00:17:13
a quarter brain cell right now.
00:17:14
Bitch, I'm getting tired of catching these random strays
00:17:18
from you fucking lumberjack dude.
00:17:20
Bro, you're a lumberjack to sell solar panels.
00:17:22
Shut up.
00:17:23
I'll be making bank.
00:17:25
All right, well get that bread, brother.
