Hello survivors and welcome back to another episode of Will you Survive.

The Podcast.

Speaker 1 0:32

And today we got something special for you. Not really, we do this every week on Friday at 7 am. Today we're talking about a very good movie, but I get to that. Let me introduce my two co-hosts challengers. Whatever the fuck they are, we've got eric I am challenger number one he's playing bilaccio.

Speaker 1 0:54

We've got alex I'm whiskey he's whiskey and you know what I like this movie. Uh, we're talking about the movie buried. I seen it one time when I was like 11 or something, I don't know A long ass time ago, and it traumatized me. And I'm not claustrophobic, but being buried alive seems like it sucks.

Speaker 2 1:16

I got claustrophobic in this. I was claustrophobic AF all through this. I'm not going to lie.

Speaker 3 1:22

So, first of all, I'm a smaller guy, so I think definitely you guys would feel a lot more claustrophobic in a coffin, but also this was the world's most spacious coffin ever, uh, especially, I feel like for most of the movie well, for most of the movie it seemed like it was a very tight fit and then when the snake came in, it seemed like it grew to the size of a los angeles studio apartment and, uh, he was like in a corner pretty far.

Speaker 1 1:46

He set a fire in the coffin which is very fucking stupid, because fire, yeah, oxygen yeah, over a snake what pisses he? He did a lot of things wrong that he really shouldn't have. Like dude, told him to not have his thing on, vibrate his phone because, it was battery, and then he turns the ringer on for like a second and then turns it back to vibrate for the rest of the movie.

Speaker 2 2:10

Yep, yep.

Speaker 1 2:11

And then is surprised when it drops down to freaking one bar.

Speaker 3 2:14

Yep, okay, I saw an editing mistake, though, because you see the phone seconds before that and it's at three, at three bars, and then, like a few seconds later, the phone beeps and then it shows and it's low battery. I saw a different editing flaw where he's using two different phones.

Speaker 2 2:31

Oh really, one of them it's a solid battery, that's that's like uh, continuously going down, you know it doesn't have the bars, and the other one it's the bars.

Speaker 1 2:41

There's two different phones I did not notice that so basically this movie sucks.

Speaker 3 2:46

I'm kidding, so it was actually. It was pretty good.

Speaker 2 2:49

I like it can I ask you a question, host? Yes, how did you feel when he was calling people, when he finally got a hold of that woman, donna, and she starts arguing with him about him yelling at her?

Speaker 3 3:01

I wanted to fucking punch her.

Speaker 1 3:02

Oh my god like if somebody calls me fucking panicked, I'm not just gonna like be a fucking karen to them, so like fuck that bitch, I'd be yeah, angry oh yeah, no, when he, when he got what he wanted, he's like fuck you.

Speaker 3 3:18

And then I love that that was. It was so warranted, it was so beautiful good for you.

Speaker 1 3:23

One last win before you're buried forever in the sand of Iraq.

Speaker 2 3:28

Although. I will say that all of the people that he did speak to were just freaking what is the proper term? How can I say this? They were all incredibly stupid. I couldn't stand any of the people that he was talking to. They all wanted to ask a million questions and they were all like, uh, going from the aspect of him lying to them you know it's like why don't you just confirm he is who he says he is and then take him?

Speaker 2 3:59

you know, take him at his word. Let's talk about you know. Okay, this guy named Paul Conroy is actually one of our employees. He is actually out in Iraq and he would be in that spot.

Speaker 3 4:13

Oh crap, this might be real, yeah, but I think at the end CRT they terminated him and they were like oh, we actually terminated you before you were buried, so technically you don't qualify for any benefits or anything. Sorry, you're fucked Bye terminated him and they were like oh, we actually terminated you before you were buried, so technically you don't qualify for any benefits or anything sorry you're fucked bye, but you realize that that was absolute ass covering.

Speaker 2 4:31

Yeah, no, I did not. I didn't believe that he was cheating on his wife at all I don't know.

Speaker 1 4:36

He seemed a little too tore up by uh her getting, so I don't know. I feel like it could be either way. Either they're just fucking lying, or he was just really good friends, or like you know.

Speaker 2 4:48

No, I think that was all ass covering on their part, that they were you know. Oh nope, we don't know anything about this. We're washing our hands of this. We have nothing to do with it. Sorry about that.

Speaker 3 4:59

Yeah, I don't.

Speaker 1 5:07

Honestly, I didn't really pay attention one way or the other about that. No, I uh. What dicks just like why? Yeah, that's a dick move and like no the fuck. You did not fire him. As of that morning he was on a run.

Speaker 3 5:16

Yeah, yeah, yeah, exactly that was 100 them covering their ass legally I was working for you when I got captured the, the whole like. Do you acknowledge that I'm recording? Do I have your permission to record?

Speaker 2 5:27

No.

Speaker 3 5:28

Yeah, I would have just said no at that point. I'm like clearly I know exactly what you're trying to do.

Speaker 1 5:33

Do you understand what I've said to you? No, I don't.

Speaker 3 5:35

Yeah, no, I don't understand. Explain it again.

Speaker 2 5:38

Instead they got on record.

Speaker 1 5:39

You're a piece of shit also, yeah like he's doing a run for your company. So if he's not employed by you, that's still a fucking liability risk. So it's, it doesn't make any sense it still doesn't look good on them.

Speaker 2 5:52

Why didn't you tell me before I went on this run that I no longer worked for you, because I wouldn't be in this position if I no longer worked for you?

Speaker 3 6:00

yeah, but the thing is like what's he gonna say that from the coffin, no his but his family can, I guess.

Contractor's Financial Struggles and Risks

Speaker 2 6:05

Yeah, that's true, that would be. That would have been. You know, that would have been the uber argument to make if you could think rationally, if you could be calm enough to explain yourself. Like he's, he's under the impression that this person is calling to help him and this is what he ambushes him with. You know just what the fuck? And personally I think, uh, instead of all of the the, I don't know what he did exactly right after that, because I think the guy from the state department called him back, but that's the moment where oh, no, he, he made his, uh, last will and testament. He recorded himself. And that's where I would have said and the fuckhead at crt tried to claim that I was having an affair so that they could fire me and wash their hands of all of this. This is their fault entirely. They are 100 to blame for this. They did not take care of us. They told us our trucks were going to be armored. They were not. They told us we were going to be protected. We were not.

Speaker 1 7:05

And send that fucking video out really, though, like that I would have done that it's like again, I always try to think that's if you're thinking rationally.

Speaker 2 7:14

I've been in situations above ground, not buried, not in life or death, just stressful situations where if you don't remember to breathe in an atmosphere of abundant oxygen, if you don't remember to breathe in an atmosphere of abundant oxygen, if you don't remember to breathe, you're going to start to panic and you're going to start to make poor decisions because you're not getting oxygen to your brain.

Speaker 2 7:34

And the fact that this guy was going through this. I mean, I think you and I differ on the opinion here, eric, but I think Ryan Reynolds did a good job of making me number one believe. He was constantly suffocating. I can't imagine how freaking lightheaded he was during the filming of this movie because he was breathing so damn hard the whole time when I was quitting smoking.

Speaker 2 7:57

That's one of the tactics that they tell you to try is, uh, chew on a carrot and breathe like a carrot stick and breathe deep and fast, deep and fast and it makes you really lightheaded. And the carrot helps with the habit of putting something to your lips and, man, you breathe heavy like that. You're going to get lightheaded.

Speaker 3 8:19

Yeah, I think I've said this on the podcast Do you want to hear about celery, but when I was in marching band I was in drum line and our band directors would try to have us do the breathing exercises with the rest of the band Because it helps you be more in tune with the rest of the band and breathe when they're breathing and be more of a unit. Except none of us blow into our instrument. So none of us have been doing that since the sixth grade. So we're not high schoolers who have like zero lung capacity who are doing breathing exercises, followed by us on the ground, almost passing out, while everybody else is, like I feel, so ready to play and we're passed out from lack of oxygen yep, yeah, um, what was I gonna say you're talking about?

Speaker 1 9:08

okay, one of my thoughts. First mistake in this movie why the fuck are you going to iraq for?

Speaker 3 9:15

money. Okay, I will. You don't know how much they get paid war.

Speaker 1 9:18

You don't know how much they get paid there are other jobs where you are not at risk of getting freaking buried alive, like go be a freaking fisherman in alaska or something or like you don't know how much they're getting paid.

Speaker 3 9:31

Okay, underwater welding.

Speaker 1 9:33

Do something else other than civilian, but that's but.

Speaker 3 9:37

Underwater welding requires so much skill and that is also incredibly risky. That is a very dangerous job.

Speaker 1 9:43

I guarantee he'd make way more if he was doing that and he'd be weird, not necessarily I'll tell you what.

Speaker 3 9:49

Civilian contractors for the military, Especially in war zones. Make fucking bank and there's a reason for it. It's because you're going into a war zone.

Speaker 1 9:58

I knew a guy. They make so much money. How much money did that man say he had in his bank account?

Speaker 2 10:02

I think that's what's unrealistic. He said. I leave you how much? $700 in my savings account.

Speaker 1 10:06

Yeah, bro was so broke. Was it his day on the job?

Speaker 2 10:10

He might not have been paid yet but wait, that's what I thought.

Speaker 3 10:13

He might not have been paid yet.

Speaker 2 10:14

What I thought about this was that they were in financial struggles and he took this job. That's why he was like. You were right, I shouldn't have taken this job. I shouldn't have come out here, right, it was because this would have set them in a good position.

Speaker 2 10:26

It would have Right. I knew I knew somebody who was an electrical contractor they make in Iraq. It was at about this time, 2004. This was a little before when this guy was out there, but in 2004, it was, they were offering him low six figures. I think it was about $180,000 to $200,000. But this was then Tax-free for six months.

Speaker 3 10:50

Yeah, that's not even a full year.

Speaker 2 10:52

You're going to go out there for six months. You're going to get all of that tax-free. Well, actually you're out there for 181 days. So you're not a quote unquote United States resident. During that year you didn't live in the United States. So there's no federal or state income tax, and then they come back and you know there's still social security and crap like that, but then they come back you more, or?

Speaker 3 11:14

less. Have most of your paycheck.

Speaker 2 11:16

And they can do. They could do what they want. At that point you can. You've already worked for your whole year. You could re-up or not.

Speaker 3 11:27

But whole year you could re-up or not. But yeah, so that's I. My, my aunt's ex-husband was a private contractor for the military and he would go overseas, for I think he would do three months at a time but he would go over. Um, they ended up splitting because he kept going over, but I think he just enjoyed adrenaline, junkie kind of maybe. Maybe I think he also just enjoyed that you make so much fucking money every time you go and he's basically setting himself up for retirement in years. Just a matter of years.

Speaker 2 11:54

That's what I call actively lazy. Bust your ass today.

Speaker 3 11:58

So that tomorrow we do nothing. I think that was his, his, uh, rationale. Um, I don't know the ins and outs of why their marriage ended and I don't really feel like sharing it on the podcast, but um, but yeah, I knew he used to do that. He used to, uh, go overseas and they make so much money because when you work for the military, you just get paid, whatever your rank gets paid.

Speaker 1 12:21

But when you're a civilian contractor, that you, your skills are necessary and they, they compensate you very well, it's a very dangerous thing to be doing, especially if you don't have, uh, the good old wireless hole puncher with you, you know yeah, the military has a wireless hole puncher wireless hole puncher.

Speaker 3 12:42

Well, he should have a wireless hole puncher on him. I don't know why he did it. I don't know why he didn't.

Speaker 1 12:45

I don't know why you wouldn't have that.

Speaker 3 12:47

Why would you be driving through Iraq without protection like that?

Speaker 1 12:51

Everybody else has them, the freaking 12-year-old fucking sand shack has them, why can't I have one? Is the police going to stop?

Speaker 3 12:58

you.

Speaker 1 12:59

Yeah, the Iraqi police, yeah, you mean the army well remember the militia, whatever the united states army was training their police. Yeah yeah, um, dude was uh, he he definitely had like he got, he got like he had like anxiety or whatever yeah I also have anxiety, but I feel like I I could think clearly enough to not freak out and light a whole ass non-venomous, non-poisonous snake on fire. Yeah, Also what is a Mexican black king snake doing in Iraq?

Speaker 2 13:37

And why is it making the sound of a?

Speaker 1 13:39

rattler, I looked it up. Why is it there?

Speaker 3 13:42

Can I also say? Can I also say the the terrorist in this movie sounded suspiciously Mexican. He was, and he was Because yeah, cause, I'm like I swear he keeps saying like, uh do, did you have the money? Instead of saying you, he kept saying Jew, and I'm like that's so Mexican.

Speaker 2 14:03

Did you have money, you? He kept saying jew and I'm like that's so mexican and he was like did you have money?

Speaker 3 14:07

yeah, did you have money. Every time he said it, I'm like it just sounds like my grandpa, or not?

Speaker 2 14:10

not, not your dad, but my other grandpa, I'm like it just sounds so much like him.

Speaker 3 14:16

It's this guy's got to be mexican and he is yeah, that's, uh, that's, that's kind of.

Speaker 1 14:20

That's kind of why they're just like let's get a dude with an accent.

Speaker 2 14:24

For real, they really did Jose Luis Garcia Perez.

Speaker 3 14:28

Yeah, not Iraqi at all, not Middle Eastern at all, that's Jabir. But yeah, the snake thing was the most unrealistic part of the movie. To be honest, everything else was Honestly, I don't think he would have had that much oxygen. I think he would have been out of oxygen way sooner. Honestly, I don't think he would have had that much oxygen. I think he would have been out of oxygen way sooner. But maybe I'm wrong about that. I think he maybe had like an hour.

Speaker 1 14:49

You'd have to get the measurements of this casket and stuff, but it's not like a standard coffin or whatever I mean. Even then, so you wouldn't be able to really get the right, you know.

Speaker 3 14:59

But that enclosed space no matter, it's still a coffin, even if it's an extra, extra large coffin. You have maybe an hour of oxygen. You're buried underground and it's only that box. I don't think you last longer than an hour.

Speaker 1 15:15

Something that we know. How long can you survive in a trunk with no air?

Speaker 3 15:18

But trunks have like spaces where air gets in.

Speaker 2 15:23

Would you speculate with me? This is about, I would say, six feet long or seven feet long I I would say this is like.

Speaker 1 15:30

So we're doing the math. Hold on, ryan, I don't know not 10, it wasn't 10.

Speaker 2 15:35

He didn't have that much room to go up and down he was the snake scene, he kind of was that was apparently.

Speaker 1 15:42

That's what I'm using.

Speaker 2 15:43

I'm going to say the coffin was 7 feet. 7 feet that gives 10 inches. But like I said during the snake scene.

Speaker 1 15:53

It grew. I would say it's like in some scenes it seemed like the walls were touching his arms but in other scenes that's what I'm saying he struggled, but the average he was able to just rotate too Right. That's what I'm saying. He had to struggle to do it, but he was able to rotate. So it's about like a torso in some change, like with a neck.

Speaker 3 16:12

No more. He was completely sideways during the snake scene in the coffin.

Speaker 2 16:19

That's like four feet across or maybe three feet across, but it's like three feet wide by 10 feet yeah, let's not go by that, because I think that that's not a a good representation of what it's supposed to be. I think we're calling out their um, we're calling out the production error.

Speaker 3 16:36

That's like what two feet, maybe like two feet.

Speaker 1 16:38

Yeah, two feet I think would be like two and a half three feet, is probably like the what it was. Yeah, so we're going what. Seven three feet by seven feet. Seven foot, like two and a half three feet, is probably what it was.

Speaker 3 16:45

So we're going what seven Three feet by seven feet.

Speaker 1 16:46

Seven foot by two and a half three.

Speaker 2 16:48

So it says seven coffins were used in the movie.

Speaker 3 16:51

Okay, well, that makes sense.

Speaker 1 16:52

Well, yeah, they had to get the shot where it was going above him and it looked like it was really tall. And then the one where it zoomed out to the side of him. Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 2 17:00

I think they definitely botched the proportions and distribution, if you will.

Speaker 3 17:08

But I mean that's how they split up the movie, because this is a movie that takes place in one place, the entire movie. This is like those movies where it's about somebody stuck on an elevator and they go through hell and you're like how the hell is this 90-minute movie?

Buried Alive Movie Analysis and Discussion

Speaker 1 17:22

just them in an elevator and you're like how the hell is this 90-minute movie? Just them in an elevator. Okay, so a standard coffin can hold around 886 liters of air, with about 164 liters of that being oxygen.

Speaker 3 17:36

So how long would that last you? Because I could just be completely wrong, because I know they also used to tie bells to corpses' toes just in case they weren't dead and they could dig them up at night, hence a graveyard shift, yeah, but which would imply that they were alive long enough to wake up and ring the bell, but I guess that also that assumes that anybody was ever dug up um, I'm looking at an article.

Speaker 1 18:02

It says a normal, healthy person might have 10 minutes to an hour or six hours to 36 hours. That's a big what. That's a huge gap.

Speaker 2 18:13

So it could take 10 minutes, could take five years, so we're gonna call it we're gonna call it mixed oxygen, right or mixed air this would be mixed air right, it would be mixed air, and if you were gonna take a tank of mixed air, that's 680 liters of oxygen. That would be approximately 8.6 hours with a flow rate of three liters per minute. But he was breathing faster than that and he was using the lighter and he lit a fire in there, which that means.

Speaker 2 18:46

that brings it closer to what you were saying. If he's breathing 12 liters per minute or using up air at a rate of 12 liters per minute, he would only have 55 minutes of air.

Speaker 3 18:57

Yeah, I think that that was probably the most unrealistic thing. I'm not going to lie If you get buried alive and somebody is not already on their way to get you, I think you're done.

Speaker 1 19:07

Also, it's a constant like the dirt's coming in, so that's making less air.

Speaker 3 19:11

At the end. Yeah, yeah, that's going up through the sand because he's in the desert, but it's going up through the sand and so maybe I'm crazy, but when the sand initially broke through and it started pouring in real heavy, my first thought was maybe I do like a dive motion and try to push my way through and up.

Speaker 2 19:36

I was trying to think of a way to do that too.

Speaker 3 19:38

Because what's the worst thing that happens? I suffocate.

Speaker 1 19:42

It's going to happen anyways. Sand is a lot different than dirt. Most people are buried in dirt. So there's, a lot of stuff about how to get out of the ground when you're buried in dirt and you want to go to the side and kind of dig your way up. So like coffin you go and then you go up and you just kind of push dirt below you as you're going.

Speaker 2 20:02

So if you were, if you were watching him in the coffin, you would want to roll onto your side, push out the side of the coffin and then start.

Speaker 1 20:10

Yeah, I would, I would use the knife that he had to like fucking try to pry or do something, try to get enough space, so I could get out.

Speaker 2 20:18

Yep.

Speaker 1 20:19

You also, and I think for a sand situation you'd, because it's dry. Um, you don't want to be breathing that in as you're going up, so probably put your shirt over your face so it doesn't get in your eyes and whatever.

Speaker 3 20:31

And your that's a good idea. So I mean, I think you're keeping your eyes closed anyways but I mean, you know you're digging blind anyways, so just you are, yeah, but.

Speaker 2 20:40

But they also made a point like there's one challenge to this, that going straight up would have been a possibility if the guy was theorizing correctly that he was only about two feet underground yeah, yeah, yeah, no.

Speaker 1 20:56

In the sand situation I think straight up probably would be the best option.

Speaker 3 21:00

So my my thought was just it's a gamble, because if you're six foot down you're never making it up. But if these are just some, some kind of I I don't know what to really call them, but you know, not the smartest terrorists in the world and they're just trying to get some money, then maybe they only put you like two feet down, maybe they didn't dig a full grave well, the idea was, they needed reception in there yeah, yeah. So oh, that's a good point.

Speaker 1 21:27

Yeah, I was trying to figure out, um, as I was watching the movie, how I don't think there's anything telling you this how far underground you can get reception at, because I don't know.

Speaker 3 21:37

Yeah, can we look that up?

Speaker 1 21:38

like, and then there's like sand versus dirt versus mud, you know so. So there's a lot of factors. So I don't know, but I feel like it must have been like four feet, five feet maybe.

Speaker 3 21:50

I hear that all the time.

Speaker 1 21:51

Hear what.

Speaker 3 21:52

There was just a loud ass thump and he started listening to see what it was and I'm like it's the kids. And it's all the time. They cannot take a step without sounding like an elephant walking through the house sleep typical upstairs. Neighbors activity our downstairs neighbors hate us. Dude, there's no way they don't did I? I've told you right that my, my grandmother straight up walked into their apartment because she got off on the wrong floor yeah, you told me about that yeah, they said they.

Speaker 3 22:23

they looked at her and they're like oh, you probably meant to go upstairs, they could tell that she belonged to us.

Speaker 1 22:32

That's funny. No, but yeah. How far underground do you think Anybody? Got any research you can bring into the table. I'm looking it up.

Speaker 2 22:42

I will tell you this that uh, the particular uh bandwidth lower, lower waves, like I think t-mobile uses it, um, I believe don't quote me on this but I believe it's the uh 600 megahertz range and it cuts under underground parking and stuff like that really well. And let me see I'm trying to find it looks like, because all I'm seeing is that like a blanket.

Speaker 1 23:07

A blanket answer is soil and concrete block cell phone reception and you gotta think this is 2006 is when the movie takes place, so cell phones weren't as good as they are now. Yeah, no, exactly, no exactly we got 5G and all that, so we're kind of spoiled. So I don't know, I don't know.

Speaker 3 23:29

He had to be like for me. Okay, so here's what I'm getting. In practical scenarios, if you are buried six feet under dirt, it is unlikely that you would be able to receive or send a phone signal. The Reddit thread on Ask Engineers discusses this scenario and concludes that a phone buried at such a depth would not likely be able to communicate with the cell phone tower, even under ideal conditions. So that's kind of as much as they say about that. This next part, for underground utility lines. The depth of phone lines typically ranges from one to three feet underground, depending on the local regulations and the type of utility line, so I don't know if that provides any info.

Speaker 2 24:05

That's landline. That's talking about landline cable depth. How far they're required to bury it underground? Gotcha, because water lines, like irrigation lines, are mandated to be six inches underground under surface. Electrical is 18 inches.

Speaker 3 24:20

Oh, here we go. Generally, radio waves can penetrate the ground, but higher frequencies have more difficulty doing so. For example, a standard cellulose signal which operates at higher frequencies would likely not penetrate more than a few feet of soil. Now I don't know if that's different for sand, but I would assume they're somewhat the same.

Speaker 1 24:39

And we also got to think about if we are trying to dig up through the sand. Sand is heavy. A cubic foot of sand weighs about 90 pounds. Yep, um I know that one four feet of sand would be about 360 pounds, and a cubic yard of sand is about 2 000 I mean that would be.

Speaker 3 24:56

The problem is one getting the leverage cubic yards of sand on them yeah, I, I mean. But here's the thing Like, towards the end he was already getting covered. He was already reaching a point where he was going to suffocate soon, so why not just go for it?

Speaker 1 25:12

I mean by that point I think, the carbon dioxide would be getting to you.

Speaker 3 25:16

I guess, it's good.

Speaker 2 25:17

I think it clearly was. Can I say that was my theory. The carbon dioxide was already getting to him when he imagined them coming and opening up the the coffin oh man, I thought he was already starting to hallucinate, because that's one of the things of carbon dioxide poisoning is hallucination the other thing that happened early on, or like a dream, like no, it's hallucination, he was awake no, but I think it was like a daydreaming, like I wish.

Speaker 3 25:42

I wish this is what would happen right now. No, that's kind of how I took it, where it was kind of like a no, you don't.

Speaker 2 25:48

You don't wish. In those situation, you hallucinate. Yes, because that's what your brain wants to believe. It's that's what you want to have happen.

Speaker 1 25:56

Yeah it's heavily implied that he wanted to believe that it's heavily implied, of course implied well so um got a good comment here.

Speaker 3 26:08

I got it host. I got your joke. That was very funny. What?

Speaker 2 26:11

if? What if the entire movie was actually in his head? What?

Speaker 1 26:14

47 meters down. This is four feet deep. Next question no, it's two feet, two feet, four feet. It has to be some sort of footage, because if it was one foot I'm sure he would have seen the light yeah, I'm sure.

Speaker 3 26:25

Actually the sand pouring in would have made a hole so like how much, how much sand I don't think so.

Speaker 2 26:31

I don't think because it was just a small hole in the coffin, up the entire coffin yeah, but above him, sand won't doesn't just come down in a single column, it all comes from the side. So it would. I think what you're saying would be accurate. That would be his best bet to get out right there, but you wouldn't see the light. It would all cave in on itself.

Speaker 3 26:51

That's true, but that is.

Speaker 1 26:52

He'd have to have enough strength to keep splintering the rest of the boards.

Speaker 3 26:54

That's the other challenge. It was only one board that broke, and I'm pretty sure Ryan Reynolds isn't fitting through that.

Speaker 2 27:00

And that's where you get scary. Eric would probably survive this.

Speaker 1 27:02

He would the coffin would be so light that it would just be buoyant in the sand.

Speaker 2 27:08

The coffin would be so large he could have just lived there indefinitely.

Speaker 3 27:13

That's why I said it kind of just seemed like a studio apartment.

Speaker 1 27:15

He would have started building on it I would be 100%, I would have ate the snake.

Speaker 3 27:18

I thought he was going to at first Would have been kind of smart.

Speaker 1 27:21

I would have ate it. What else have you got?

Speaker 3 27:22

I thought he was going to. He would have had to catch it, though, and kill it Also drink the blood? Yeah, that's a liquid.

Speaker 2 27:26

I thought he was going to come down with his heel right on its head.

Speaker 3 27:34

I thought, that's what he was like setting up for that's what I thought so, and then when I saw him grab the don't do that no chaser bro, just straight like flammable alcohol right here bro coffin

Speaker 1 27:45

right here, bro dry humid like dry humid, fucking like I'm sure I didn't even catch that holy crap.

Speaker 3 27:53

I caught myself.

Speaker 1 27:53

I caught myself but, like, imagine you're stuck in this coffin and all you have is, I'm assuming, everclear, because it just lit the thing thing about movies is they? Show alcohol just straight up lighting. But all alcohol has a burn point that's too high. You have to heat it up first and then it'll be able to light.

Speaker 2 28:14

So it's not going to be vodka? Yeah, vodka will light. Sambuca will light dude.

Speaker 3 28:20

It's not a high alcohol content. With a Zippo lighter, oh yeah.

Speaker 2 28:24

We used to use Bic lighters.

Speaker 1 28:26

I mean once we do an in-person thing, nothing blue fire like 151. Let's be pyromaniacs.

Speaker 3 28:35

Yeah, Alex is definitely on board with that.

Speaker 1 28:38

All types of alcohol will be fucked up. Oh dude, let's try to burn this. Oh yeah, let's talk about how shitty of a fucking human being that British fuck was, that person who didn't even exist. Fuck that guy.

Speaker 2 28:52

But did he not exist? I thought he did no he means because he's British.

Speaker 1 28:58

Oh, sorry, sorry, sorry, I got you yes.

Speaker 2 29:02

I got you host. I understood your joke point. Uh, you mean, you mean, just like our subscriber dildo swaggins who that's fictional?

Speaker 1 29:09

never heard him, uh no, but like what a dick he was. Like yo, give me some hope, tell me somebody who you fucking saved what did you do?

Speaker 2 29:18

tell somebody who he lied?

Speaker 1 29:20

fucking saved White. Mark White is in the desert buried and he's like, oh yeah, bro, he's fine bro.

Speaker 3 29:26

He's fine. Yeah, I remember him saying that he's fine, bro. Mark White is fine, bro. Bro, don't worry, he's fine, I'll save you bro. Like no, I'll save you, bro. You fucking liar.

Speaker 1 29:45

There is diddly squat to find this man. You know he was, though no, but you know for a fact that there was a airstrike within his vicinity. Yep well, so my assumption there people and look for a freaking divot of sand in the desert that is slowly going down.

Speaker 3 29:56

Do something I think that would be so hard to find and I think one it's an active war zone. I don't think it's that unlikely that two places would have an airstrike at the same time. But, assuming it, even if it was the same airstrike that happened, that's still such a large area to have to search. And if this is a common bury area, then the the guy who gave him the info said I know where an American is buried it is true. There could have been multiple Americans buried in that area.

Speaker 1 30:28

To hear the call to the mosque. He could hear sound through the dirt.

Speaker 2 30:32

True.

Speaker 3 30:33

You could do something.

Speaker 1 30:36

I got this Bluetooth speaker. Let me know when you can hear it.

Speaker 3 30:40

Yeah, that could have helped. I think at that point they were on such a short amount of time. By the time they got there he was already being covered in sand and about to suffocate.

Speaker 1 30:50

And then they got to the wrong coffin also, we're just assuming he's out in the open. Bro could have been buried in like the town square, you know yeah, like in a random like in a place you'd never look, warehouse in the middle of fucking

Speaker 3 31:04

yeah, like I. That's why, like I, I don't know, I think, the british guy I felt bad for him, to be honest, because he did try. He like they found that, that that guy or that uh, that terrorist who gave him the info and they traded, uh, I think, his freedom or something for for that info to to find the american who was buried and it just wasn't the right one. And I that sucks because you know, thinking out, thinking past the time of the movie, just to imagine what that guy would feel like having now lost two and there was nothing he could really do about it yeah, to be fair, he did say uh, how many, how many have you?

Speaker 2 31:42

not many. How many have you? Not many? How many have you saved? Not many. But there have been some. Yeah, there have been some. Give me hope. Tell me somebody who survived.

Speaker 1 31:50

And then he lied to him fucking mark white. Um, also he lost. Another person was uh, I'm sure he was helping trying to look for fucking one chick who got freaking well, but if he did, he lied, because he said we didn't even know she was there he's like you weren't even looking for her.

Speaker 2 32:06

You didn't do anything to help her not to be trusted.

Speaker 1 32:09

Also imagine which. I go back to the original thing we all say.

Speaker 2 32:14

We all agree that the brit didn't exist. Right, this was all in his head. He didn't even have a working cell phone.

Speaker 1 32:21

He's in the coffin. Hello, he's a banana. It's a banana.

Speaker 3 32:30

It's the snake.

Speaker 1 32:31

It's the snake. Oh no.

Speaker 3 32:33

It's a mutilated snake, arnar Arnar Turns out.

Speaker 1 32:38

the snake was venomous, he's hallucinating from the snake.

Speaker 3 32:45

It bit his freaking wiener while he was sleeping because it came from his pants, which is actually horrifying imagine you're just like, hey, I'm underground, nothing's down here, and then you just feel something just no, if, if I'm in iraq and I feel something climbing in my pants or slithering through my pants, my immediate thought is it's a camel spider, and I might just die of a heart attack at that point. Oh yeah, I know, like genuinely, if a camel spider ever touches me, I I, for real, I'm not kidding I think my heart would stop. What's the camel spider? Oh man, oh man. Camel spiders are horrific beings that make me question what god was fucking thinking very well made.

Speaker 3 33:26

Yeah, can you look it up? I don't want to put it on my tablet, to be honest, because then it's going to keep coming up.

Speaker 1 33:31

Well, no, because then I have to look at it there's it is horrifying which I'm sure he could have used for something I don't know, what did he have in his? Kit that he could have.

Speaker 2 33:40

I don't know I know Whoa yeah. Also I'm seeing it on somebody's hand.

Speaker 3 33:48

You know a horrible thing about a camel spider when they bite, they numb you and then they just keep eating. They are horrific. Do they eat people? They'll eat anything. They're especially dangerous when soldiers go in foxholes or stuff like that. Whoa, Camel spiders are horrifying creatures. They're especially dangerous when soldiers go in foxholes or stuff like that. Camel spiders are horrifying creatures. If one of those ever touched me, I genuinely think my heart would stop.

Speaker 1 34:13

Okay, so don't drink the glow stick. I just wanted to see what it was made out of. It is hydrogen peroxide, oxalate ester and an electron-rich dye. I just wanted to see if he could drink it.

Speaker 3 34:23

Well, I knew he couldn't drink it safely, but I was wondering if it would kill you fast enough.

Speaker 1 34:28

It'll hurt your tendon.

Speaker 3 34:30

Oh, never mind. Well, I was wondering if it could be kind of like a cyanide pill.

Speaker 1 34:35

I was wondering if it would kill him quick. Just get rid of yourself.

Speaker 3 34:39

Yeah, but I was like I wouldn't want to risk it, because what if it doesn't kill you, but it's just incredibly painful? Then that would suck.

Speaker 1 34:47

I think best plan chug that alcohol Get wasted.

Speaker 3 34:51

Yeah, get wasted and fall asleep, because dying of suffocating I don't think would be that bad. Most people report, they just feel sleepy and then I guess people don't normally report when they've suffocated.

Speaker 1 35:02

But from what they say hey, report when they've suffocated. But I from what they say hey bro, I just suffocated, come get me, I got you yeah, let me tell you all about it, bro.

Speaker 3 35:10

But basically, like from what I've heard, like what they say about it, is that you pretty much just get sleepy and fall asleep and then never wake up. Yeah, which doesn't seem like a horrible way to go. You get a little loopy, yeah, you get drunk. Then you get a little loopy, yeah, you get drunk, then you get a little loopy, then you get a little sleepy, and then you just go to sleep and never wake up.

Speaker 1 35:28

Yeah.

Speaker 3 35:28

Seems fine to me.

Speaker 1 35:30

Not the worst way. I would have at least tried to get out Like I would have used the knife to try to do something. I would maybe take off to use that as a thing to breathe through.

Speaker 3 35:40

it's a lot heavier material, so you block out some more of the sand.

Speaker 2 35:44

Yeah, um, I don't know I mean you get a boatload of that sand dust in your, in your lungs. But better than better than dying.

Speaker 3 35:52

Yeah, um, but I mean. So here's the thing. Let's say he gets out. Then now what? You're in iraq, in the middle of you don't know where. That's kind of like a do you even want to get?

Speaker 1 36:04

out, iron man made it.

Speaker 3 36:07

Tony Stark built this with a box of scraps in a cave.

Speaker 2 36:12

I'm not Tony Stark.

Speaker 1 36:13

Ryan Reynolds built this in a coffin with his finger and a snake. I didn't say that.

Speaker 2 36:21

And a snake. I got a little amazed at how much shit he kept pulling out like. At first it was just the lighter, then he found a phone, then he had a flashlight that didn't really work well, then he had glow sticks. I was like where the fuck is he pulling all of this?

Speaker 3 36:35

shit out from. It's just a testament to men's uh pockets, that's all, oh yeah, no definitely I can't tell you how much shit is in my pockets at all times.

Speaker 2 36:45

I I can attest to the same thing. I have a lot of shit in my pockets. I pull out my knife and my pen, two knives and a screwdriver and my phone in my back pocket I could definitely fit that in my back pocket.

Speaker 1 36:57

Yeah, and then yo up to andy. We got cargo pants and shit.

Speaker 2 37:01

Cargo pants I carry my whole house.

Speaker 3 37:05

I hate cargo pants.

Speaker 1 37:06

I love cargo pants.

Speaker 3 37:08

I like cargo pants.

Speaker 1 37:09

I'm wearing cargo shorts, you know what?

Speaker 2 37:11

But you got to be careful. Only soft things in the knee pockets.

Speaker 1 37:15

Oh yeah, If you trip.

Speaker 2 37:17

No, I've put like a heavy book and then like not a heavy but like a hardcover book in my in the knee pocket and then started running or just smacking you oh damn, oh yeah, no, I know that it hits and it just feels like this sour feeling that you're like oh, multi-tool in my pocket one day oh I want to get down on my knees oh, you need right, you just knelt down right on it to get on to get under something and it freaking just went in between my freaking knee bone and the the fleshy interior bit.

Speaker 2 37:54

That sounds good, right there.

Speaker 3 37:56

All that jagged metal, just all that nice pressure on your knee.

Speaker 2 38:00

Oh yeah, that sounds good.

Speaker 1 38:02

Freaking. You know what doesn't sound good being trapped in a box, yeah.

Speaker 3 38:06

I agree.

Speaker 1 38:08

I would start like taking off my clothes because I was claustrophobic.

Speaker 3 38:11

Okay, so that's a funny response.

Speaker 1 38:13

I'm like not claustrophobic, Like I could chill in an elevator, you know.

Speaker 2 38:20

It's just in an elevator, you know it. Just, it's the smaller the area it gets. Oh, it's definitely you know what. You know what would get me? And the part that I related to the most, not not because I've ever been buried alive or anything like that, but the claustrophobic feeling I've been um sleeping bag, tight coiled up sleeping bag, and woken up not remembering where I was. This is also part of the problem of don't don't drink heavily.

Speaker 2 38:40

I was younger and I woke up and I was constricted. Now, you know, a sleeping bag is soft, right like it gives you push. And I was like, and it was pitch black, there was no light, the fire went out, I, I, you had to turn to the side to see even little embers and I'm pushing on the sleeping bag, completely forgot where the fuck I was. I thought I was in my bed and then everything started hitting me. I was like, oh my god, it's cold out, it's dark, what, where am I? And then it hit like oh my god, I'm camping and I relaxed. But I'll tell you that feeling when he woke up I was like, oh dang, like, how much worse that it's. Like, oh my god, I'm, I'm in this box, yeah, I'm back in this, but I was just gone for a minute I, I will say his.

Discussion on Movie Actor Skills

Speaker 3 39:20

So alex and I talked about this briefly before we uh even got into the discord call. That, I think, right, and this is very normal and this should have happened. I think ryan reynolds acting has gotten way better over time and I think this movie kind of shows that, because the particularly the only things I I even thought anything of were the crying and the screaming moments that he did. They just didn't strike me as super believable. But I'm not saying he's a bad actor by any means, because one alex brought up a point that he's the only actor in these scenes. It's really hard to play off of just yourself. But also, I think this was 2010. So this was 15 years ago.

Speaker 1 40:06

I think he's grown as an actor a lot. I don't know if I can imagine any other actor in this movie Like imagine Samuel L Jackson.

Speaker 2 40:14

Just the whole time, motherfucker. I'm tired of this motherfucking snake in this motherfucking coffin. Yeah.

Speaker 1 40:19

Denzel Washington. I don't know, I don't know if it would work.

Speaker 3 40:22

What about Mark Wahlberg?

Speaker 1 40:24

Really, tom Holland should have been in this.

Speaker 3 40:27

But together it should have been Tom Holland and Ryan Reynolds, I think he was like what, 14 or something. I think he was doing like the impossible.

Speaker 1 40:35

Yeah, he was still a little fucking kid. Also the impossible yeah, he was still a little fucking kid, like so also josh. Uh, in the chat he said how would someone know they're afraid of being buried alive if they've never been buried alive? So that's a good point. So next episode, tune in, we're gonna bury eric alive um oh what why me, mr beast challenge? We'll have cameras and stuff in there. Um, we'll have literally no way of getting him out once he's down there. It's going to take a second if there's any emergency.

Speaker 3 41:04

But do I get a million dollars?

Speaker 1 41:06

And we will be taking our designated breaks in between shovels.

Speaker 3 41:10

So it's California law. You can't break California labor laws. You need breaks.

Speaker 1 41:15

So if anything happens to Eric, you know we're not liable, but it's all Josh's idea, so I guess he's liable.

Speaker 2 41:20

Send all your complaints to Josh.

Speaker 1 41:22

We also do not have enough money in our podcast fund for a coffin, specifically a new coffin, so he will be getting a used one. Belong to a very nice woman named Doreen.

Speaker 2 41:36

We do have good news for you.

Speaker 3 41:37

How used is this coffin?

Speaker 2 41:39

She was in it for about 50 years.

Speaker 1 41:40

This is good news for you. How used is this coffin? She was in it for about 50 years.

Speaker 2 41:41

This is good news.

Speaker 1 41:42

Actively being used. Yeah, no, we got to go get it, we got to pick it up, oh, okay.

Speaker 2 41:47

This is good news. Okay, Everybody understand this. We get a discount if we get him a child's coffin.

Speaker 3 41:54

Okay, give me something for real. Can it at least be the Spider-Man one, Okay give me something For real.

Speaker 1 41:57

Can it at least be the Spider-Man one?

Speaker 2 42:02

Damn, that got dark. I don't like that joke. I laughed first and then I was like I don't like it. Oh, the reality hit so hard. Damn, those are real they are real. That hurt my fucking feelings right now.

Speaker 1 42:27

Man, I can't believe that it's so fucking depressing.

Speaker 2 42:30

Wow, you have to laugh. What are you going to do, holy moly.

Speaker 3 42:36

You know, one of the first games that, in my opinion, one that really touched on that and very subtly but very impactfully was dying light. Yeah, one of the first scenes when you're in the tower, um, and you walk out onto this floor and there's just blood everywhere. I think it's floor 13 and one of the first things you see is a stroller with blood on it sitting by the window, and it leaves it up to the imagination, because you don't see it, does it.

Speaker 3 43:02

It does it to me, yeah because you don't see the kid or anything you don't even see like a kid zombie, and that not yet. You see that way later in the game, but at that moment it's just a matter of like you know did you, do you remember if we encountered any live children in that game? Yes, oh, not live.

Speaker 2 43:21

Live like living Undead.

Speaker 1 43:27

He's all yes no, not live, Not alive, but not dead.

Speaker 2 43:31

I can't remember if in the safe zone there were babies crying.

Speaker 3 43:34

I think there were kids. I thought I remember that there's definitely kids in the second game.

Speaker 1 43:39

It's like assumed that there are, like you know, not every freaking baby.

Speaker 2 43:43

That's another game that would be fun to revisit. I haven't played it in so long. There's Dying Light 2.

Speaker 3 43:49

I thought you didn't like it. So here's the thing about Dying Light 2. Maybe they've made it better.

Speaker 1 43:54

They actually have I heard the parkour?

Speaker 3 43:57

is. I didn't have a problem with the parkour. I think people were just complaining. To be honest, I think the parkour was fine. The story was okay. It was the fighting mechanics. Dude, the fighting mechanics sucked. There was no way to not get hit. It was basically just trading hits with the AI. There was no good. The dodge was on some weird. I would click the dodge button and half a second later I would dodge. It was on a weird delay. My swings never hit when they should have. I felt like my attack speed kept changing with the same weapon, I don't know. It felt so clunky. It didn't feel smooth, especially for a 2020-something game, 2022 game or something like that, like it should have been. So it's a triple a game like it should have been so much better and I think they rushed it out, like tj said yeah, they rushed it out, the game company was probably like oh, what ip, can we suck dry now?

Speaker 3 44:54

I mean it's a small company though like they're like a polish company or something like they're. They're not some huge uh dev, so it's, it's a little disappointing that they they kind of like half released, uh, the game, at least it just I don't know, it just didn't feel polished, it felt very clunky, I thought dying light was like the the perfect mechanics.

Speaker 2 45:14

Everything felt so good, everything was so smooth. It was very much like assassin's creed I could see it, yeah, but zombies. With zombies.

Speaker 1 45:21

I hope that the new Assassin's Creed is good Okay.

Speaker 2 45:25

That's a game that I would actually play the new ones have not been good. They haven't.

Speaker 3 45:30

No, I mean they're not it's.

Speaker 2 45:32

Assassin's Creed, you know the one that I loved Black Flag.

Speaker 1 45:34

Oh, black Flag's great that one will go down. Everybody fucking loves Black.

Speaker 3 45:37

Flag they're redoing it.

Speaker 1 45:38

They're doing a remake, oh good.

Speaker 3 45:40

Speaking of which, let me ask you guys something.

Speaker 2 45:42

This is completely off topic, like we've been off topic for a little bit here, but interesting convo. This is a convo starter for anybody. If you were anything not if you could be anything, but if you were any of these would you be a cowboy, a pirate, a samurai, a ninja or a knight? Repeat, sorry cowboy, a pirate, a samurai, a ninja or a knight?

Speaker 1 46:05

cowboy, I don't want to die of dysentery. A knight, I don't want to be a knight. Gross uh, samurai, I don't think I want to fight with honor, because that just means killing yourself yeah, I'm good, uh, so probably a ninja, but in the sense that like the jinsukai, the main character of ghost of tsushima, was kind of a ninja.

Speaker 3 46:27

I want to be that guy I, I actually agree, I think pirate. I'm not really into whole rape and pillage thing um night, yeah, getting scurvy and all they're like they that I'm I'm not the cleanest person in the world, but I'm not like that. I can't do that Night. The armor is too much for me, man you boys take this way way too seriously. We're thinking about this Samurai. I'm okay. To be honest, I've never really been super appealed by samurais.

Speaker 1 46:58

I'd rather go ninja. Their armor is a little bit just fucking rice mats.

Speaker 3 47:04

Like it's yeah Like.

Speaker 2 47:09

But the idea for them is don't get hit, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 3 47:11

But I mean, that's also a ninja's point.

Speaker 1 47:14

Ninja's an assassin, Because there are literally famous samurai who will murk you with a wooden sword.

Speaker 2 47:21

Yeah, I but ninjas are assassins. Well, so hang on.

Speaker 3 47:24

Are good with that are we assuming that we're skilled like we're a skilled pirate or a skilled ninja, or is it just?

Speaker 2 47:31

eric is now a ninja if you were anything, you, if you were anything, what would you be?

Speaker 3 47:37

I mean, I would still have to go, ninja.

Speaker 1 47:38

But I'd have to go ninja. But that also is like that's why I want the Assassin's Creed game to be good, because main character, there's two main characters. There's a fucking ninja and then there's a samurai. The samurai is black, the only black samurai, the actual dude, real history, yasuke, that's the main character and he's a big, heavy bitch and I've seen his animation for jumping into the haystack and he's just like ah, ah, and he fucking smashes into it, obliterates the haystack and he's like well, I guess anything that breaks your fall is good, I guess. And the freaking other chick is like all graceful and shit.

Speaker 2 48:21

She's a grapple hook in ninja times, so both of you would be ninjas. I would be a pirate. I would be a pirate for real. What up, ninja?

Speaker 3 48:28

yeah, I don't know if I could do reels now first of all, the amount of pirates who died at sea because the sea is unforgiving and would just take the boat is insane. I don't want to die at sea, to be honest, and then the whole like rape and pillage and get scurvy and wooden leg shit. I mean you don't pass, have to freaking rape. You're on a ship of nothing but the most debaucherous, horrible people yeah, but they stop at like like.

Speaker 2 48:54

When they go to the pirate-friendly havens, they're usually filled with brothels.

Speaker 1 49:00

And pirate STDs Anyways.

Speaker 3 49:02

Yeah, it doesn't sound appealing. I want to say something. It's a quick way to make your wee-wee burn.

Speaker 2 49:11

Okay, here we go took him and they want money that he doesn't have, and then he go bye, bye.

Speaker 1 49:38

Okay, alex, you get the synopsis.

Speaker 2 49:40

Waking groggy in pitch darkness, paul Conroy, an American truck driver working in Iraq in 2006, slowly realizes he is trapped inside a wooden coffin, buried alive With his cigarette lighter. He can see the trap he is in and he quickly realizes that there's not enough air for him to live long. He finds within the coffin a working cell phone which allows him contact with the outside world. But the outside world proves not to be very helpful at finding a man buried in a box in the middle of the Iraqi desert. Paul must rely on his best resource himself.

Speaker 3 50:14

Did I get a point for that? That's one point for Paul.

Speaker 1 50:18

He gets a point for actually reading the actual synopsis, though. Okay, that's fair enough. Oh yeah, his name's Paul.

Speaker 2 50:27

Did you call me Paul, or are you giving the?

Speaker 1 50:29

point to Paul. No, he was reading the synopsis and he said oh, paul, fucking, whatever he's like, oh yeah, his name's Paul, that's what he says. I gave my synopsis but I realized I didn't give his name. I was like, oh yeah, the mexican terrorist takes him.

Speaker 3 50:49

It's crazy in iraq, yes, a mexican terrorist el chapo actually took him el chapo.

Speaker 2 50:55

Yeah, okay, do you got? Do you got the money? You got money? Do you got money? I?

Speaker 3 51:00

Speaker 2 51:15

Speaker 1 51:17

As I'm tallying the points, well, I always give the socials, so I'll do it well, if eric wanted to do it he could have got a point, but I guess you guys make sure you're debating make sure you follow us on TikTok, facebook and Instagram.

Speaker 3 52:35

uh, I won clearly okay, you think just because you read the socials and did all the bonus credit that you this guy should have been getting docked points for playing video games while we were recording oh, this guy wanted to do it okay, so I know who won, but I'll just I'll go Eric first, I guess, minus two for gaming on the job.

Speaker 2 53:00

Yeah.

Speaker 1 53:02

Plus one for I don't know something.

Speaker 1 54:01

Keep dreaming I wasn't paying attention if we're all listening, it was we're not minus two plus one plus one, so he's at zero, one, two, three, four, five, five for eric, seven, eight for Alex Seems rigged. It's not rigged. You're playing Beloccia right now. That's the reason you lost, seems rigged.

Speaker 2 54:27

Three of those votes came in at three o'clock in the morning.

Speaker 3 54:30

Seriously dude. I saw how it happened. I'm filing a lawsuit File it, I'll win.

Speaker 1 54:35

I even gave you an extra point at the end and you still lost. You could have won.

Speaker 3 54:40

I don't think I could have. It was rigged against me from the start.

Speaker 2 54:43

And I think I know which movie I want to cover next.

Speaker 3 54:47

This was planned. This is a government conspiracy.

Speaker 2 54:50

The reason why I wanted to do this movie, because it's so freaking hilarious the name of it.

Speaker 1 54:57

So Alex is the winner. Eric, you suck Alex. Loser speech. Winner speech.
