Will You Survive "The Day After Tomorrow": Surviving Climate Catastrophe

The world freezes over in a matter of days. Could you survive? We tackle "The Day After Tomorrow," the 2004 disaster film where climate change triggers a catastrophic deep freeze across the Northern Hemisphere.

What makes this apocalyptic scenario fascinating isn't just the spectacle of tornadoes ripping through Los Angeles or a massive tsunami crashing into New York City—it's the survival challenges faced by characters trapped in a rapidly freezing world. Jake Gyllenhaal's character and fellow survivors hole up in the New York Public Library, burning books for warmth as temperatures plummet to deadly levels.

We dive deep into the reality versus fiction of climate catastrophe. While the movie accelerates processes that would actually take centuries into mere days, some core concepts have scientific merit. The disruption of ocean currents like the Gulf Stream could indeed affect global climate patterns, just not overnight. Our hosts debate how much impact humans truly have on climate change, acknowledging the planet's natural warming and cooling cycles while considering our ecological footprint.

The real value comes in analyzing practical survival tactics. Would burning books be your best option? Probably not—we explore better alternatives like building efficient rocket stoves, creating insulated micro-environments, and proper clothing choices for extreme cold. The homeless character actually provides the most practical advice about insulation, proving survival knowledge often comes from unexpected sources.

Between fits of laughter and nostalgic tangents about Oregon Trail and Jurassic Park animatronics, we uncover genuinely useful emergency preparedness tips. Whether facing a fictional superstorm or a real-world winter power outage, knowing how to conserve body heat could save your life.

Speaker 1 0:35

My co-hosts could not sound more excited about this. This is a very special late night edition of Will you Survive the Podcast and, as always, we stream live on TikTok. You should come and join us, participate in the conversation, send your comments, chat with us. You know, we like to hear from you. Today, though, we are going to talk about the movie the Day After Tomorrow, so before we get into that, I want to introduce my co-hosts. That would be Eric Hello.

Speaker 2 1:03

And TJ TJ Stella Stella hosts. That would be eric hello. And tj tj stella stella now.

Speaker 3 1:11

I'm so thrilled for this late night episode yeah, no, I want to know. Late night episodes mean we're going to be tired by like halfway I do want to point out it's funny that you guys make fun of me for my age and I freaking rock these late night episodes while you guys all go to go to sleep because you've had all that experience because you were born in the darkness. Look at your skin exactly you were literally born at night nocturnal skin.

Speaker 1 1:37

Speaker 1 1:52

how did you jump on that? Let's let's go. Nocturnal skin, that's us, that's our band name.

Speaker 3 2:01

Pretty great, that's a pretty good band name that is a pretty pretty good band name.

Speaker 1 2:04

But, back to the movie the Day After Tomorrow.

Speaker 3 2:09

Dude, that went deep. That's what she said you dated the episode by just letting them know what day of the week we recorded on.

Speaker 2 2:18

They can't know.

Speaker 1 2:20

We always say Friday, but it's not Friday anyway.

Speaker 3 2:24

So now they're going gonna think we're lazy and we're, yes, silly pants 12 30 am on a saturday what if they think we're recording at 12 30 pm on a saturday this? These are the important semantics.

Speaker 2 2:35

I said late night, okay, okay this was recorded on 7, 12, 12, 30 am 2025 wow, eric is wearing a green sweatshirt.

Speaker 3 2:47

Now, you did it. This is a thermal, by the way. Okay, the second part's true, this is a thermal, not a sweater.

Speaker 1 2:54

Alex is brown, he says.

Speaker 2 2:56

Not a sweater. He shifts colors. He shifts colors.

Speaker 3 3:01

Alex is brown. What is he? A fucking chameleon.

Speaker 2 3:04

Yeah, every couple days he changes.

Speaker 1 3:07

I have to take this kind of abuse from my daughter. I don't need to take it from you monsters.

Speaker 2 3:13

We watched the Day After Tomorrow.

Breaking Down Day After Tomorrow

Speaker 1 3:15

We watched the Day After Tomorrow.

Speaker 3 3:17

We all watched it, right we?

Speaker 1 3:19

all watched it. We all watched it, hey, tj, why?

Speaker 3 3:21

don't you give us the synopsis.

Speaker 2 3:24

Okay, so basically, the Day After Tomorrow is about a wicked series of events that caused the Earth to freeze over. It takes place in New York. Jake Gyllenhaal is the lead he's very young in this movie. This came out in 2004. It's pretty good Basically. There's immense flooding and then it just freezes over it's. It's pretty fucking crazy. Whole statue of liberty gets covered yeah, yeah.

Speaker 3 3:54

So first thing, um, you said it's pretty good. I think I will counter that I don't think this is that great of a movie. I don't think it's bad. I don't think it's a great of a movie. I don't think it's bad. I don't think it's a bad movie by any means.

Speaker 1 4:08

I don't think it's a good movie. You're disagreeing with pretty good. I don't think it's a good movie.

Speaker 3 4:14

I don't think it's bad. I don't think it's good.

Speaker 1 4:16

What is it?

Speaker 3 4:17

then it exists.

Speaker 1 4:20

It exists.

Speaker 3 4:20

It's a movie.

Speaker 2 4:26

Neutral. It exists, it's a movie neutral. That's pretty neutral. It's okay, it's okay.

Speaker 3 4:28

Just that's why I said pretty good, it's like okay for a movie, it's okay, but the the acting, oh my. No, I don't even think it was the acting, I think it was the script that. Did you guys not notice that some of that dialogue was so stale like holy crap, read off a paper like a robot. Stale, like from the leads? Too Listen listen listen Not just from random characters.

Speaker 1 4:47

I need an example.

Speaker 3 4:49

There was, I think, the whole conversation with those three guys in the station, wherever they were the old dude, the black guy and they pulled out like the 12-year-old Scotch and all of their conversations all sounded horrible, all of them the girl uh, the girl that was with jake gyllenhaal. I'm sorry. A lot of her lines were just straight up read off a piece of paper, like I. I feel like maybe now I'm feeling like I'm an asshole because nobody else seems to agree with me, but the acting guy.

Speaker 2 5:19

So the guy the script seems stale the guy who made this movie. The guy who made this movie also made fucking 2012,. Moonfall the Godzilla movie.

Speaker 3 5:29

Sure, he didn't write it though.

Speaker 2 5:31

So hear me out, this is like a starter film for him. He was getting his legs and I feel like this is a no, this isn't on the director.

Speaker 3 5:40

I'm not blaming the director at all, because the movie itself was fine. The movie was good, the CGI was okay for the time.

Speaker 1 5:47

Okay, the wolves was bad A little bit yeah. The wolf CGI was terrible.

Speaker 2 5:51

They should have just used real wolves it was 2004,.

Speaker 3 5:52

Though.

Speaker 1 5:53

They should have. Yeah, I agree.

Speaker 3 5:54

Oh, you're right, Just use trained wolves.

Speaker 1 5:56

I would have just used trained wolves.

Speaker 3 6:06

Or if you're going to CGI it, it use like siberian huskies and then cgi them. But yeah, but there's, there's crazy, like there's crazy cgi prior to 2004 that's like holds up really well jurassic park, I think star wars.

Speaker 2 6:11

They used a lot of the jurassic park. They use practical shit. Those are all puppets and stuff real dinosaurs they're puppets, yeah puppets okay that's what big dino wants you to think they're mechanical.

Speaker 1 6:23

They used like they used. They were not animatronics. Some of them were they used, so they did what I was suggesting. I will look it up right now. The T-Rex wasn't animatronic Because when it let out the, it wasn't purely animatronic.

Speaker 3 6:40

No, when it let out the roar.

Speaker 1 6:41

That was a real reaction, it was it was an animatronic base with a CGI overlay. That's what I was suggesting they should have done with those wolves do a real, a real animal, and then CGI on top of that, because these wolves just looked straight out fake.

Speaker 3 6:56

No, but they also couldn't get a Siberian Husky to jump through a doorway and slam itself into all of that part. You got, you got me there, but like, but that's what I'm saying, like I'm not blaming the director at all. The movie, all the the cinematography, all that, totally fine. The script, the script was so stale it was like it was tough for me. There was a couple of really can't really see it.

Speaker 1 7:17

It's basically the whole body except for the legs yeah, I'm pretty sure the head wasn't animatronic, but the way the oh yeah, the whole head was like I'm agreeing I knew that they, um, they used animatronics in it.

Speaker 3 7:32

But all of its movements, all of its running chasing the car, all of that stuff was all cgi, yeah, yeah, no, but like the, the roar and everything, the head, all animatronic and I think they they said what it was.

Speaker 1 7:43

I can't remember, not relevant to the day after tomorrow, but the jurassic park, uh, t-rex roar oh yeah was.

Speaker 3 7:50

It was a mix of a couple different. It was a mix of.

Speaker 1 7:52

And one of the ones that made me laugh the hardest was I think they did use the mix of like a chicken yeah, oh, if you take a chicken and you slow it down, a lot it, but it sounds horrifying.

Speaker 3 8:03

It sounds like a fucking dinosaur.

Speaker 2 8:04

They used a bunch of animals like uh yeah animals. These was a lion, and they kind of like mixed it together you know what's funny?

Speaker 3 8:11

my high school marching band did a similar thing. We had one of our shows. The main, like the theme of it, was dragons and to create the dragon roar, one of the the dads of one of the other bandmates uh, mixed together like a bunch of different sounds like a lion and and like a bear and different, like growls and whatnot to create this, this dragon roar so still off topic of the day after tomorrow, but I do want to know you guys, are you guys going to be interested in this, this new jurassic park?

Speaker 3 8:39

movie not fucking. Oh, dude I watched jurassic world over it dude and then I was like the money grab, goodbye yeah, when did jurassic park come out?

Speaker 1 8:48

the original 1997, I believe give it up.

Speaker 3 8:50

It's almost been 20 years. Give it's almost been 30 years. Like, yeah, make it up, make it a fucking amusement park and then like don't make it, they already did, they already did universal studios have? You know, fucking give it up. I'm over it. I can't handle it anymore.

Speaker 2 9:09

Just make a new fucking IP. Stop basing shit off of books or video games or fucking remaking shit, or oh, it was fucking animated, now we're going to make it fucking.

Speaker 3 9:20

There's a billion books out there. Pick another. I am also. I agree I'm getting really sick of everything is just a remake. There is nothing fucking original anymore. I'm cursing a lot today.

Speaker 1 9:32

There's nothing original anymore, so to jump back onto the day after tomorrow. Yeah, so jumping back onto the day after tomorrow, lewis, in the chat comments, it wouldn't happen that fast. I tend to agree with him that, no matter how you know, quote, unquote bad they claim it is, uh, this kind of activity wouldn't happen in a matter of days you know to restore.

Speaker 1 9:57

However, I like this movie for the extreme uh, the extremes right. It went from raining really heavy to massive storm surge, which I was talking to Eric about this when I told him I was going to pick this movie. They mentioned on the news in one of the clips how big the storm surge was. Do you know? Does anybody know, what they said?

Speaker 3 10:21

Yes, and I have a comment on that. It's 25 feet is what they said. However, that was said early on in the movie, and they were wrong about a lot of crap. So what I'm thinking is that that was designed. I think that was intentionally wrong, because I think your point is going to be that the tsunami that hit new york was way over 25 feet, huge, massive. It pretty much engulfed the statue of liberty, which. Did we ever look up how big that is?

Speaker 1 10:44

No, I didn't look up how big the Statue of Liberty is the Statue of.

Climate Change Reality vs. Fiction

Speaker 2 10:46

Liberty is not that big. I'll look it up right now.

Speaker 3 10:48

But it's more than 25 feet. It's like at least 100 feet.

Speaker 1 10:52

I believe it's yeah, I believe it's close to 180 feet.

Speaker 2 10:56

I'm looking it up right now.

Speaker 1 10:58

Look it up, look it up.

Speaker 3 11:06

We right now. Thank you for the comment, lewis.

Speaker 1 11:07

Okay 305 feet. Oh, we were half. Yeah, we were only half.

Speaker 3 11:08

I was underestimating about where the water level was. Yeah, I was underestimating it 25 feet but what I think that goes to show is that they were wrong all the way up until it was happening. They didn't even know those tornadoes were hitting, until they were already hitting in la yeah that's what?

Speaker 3 11:22

because they were like I think we're gonna have to call a tornado warning. They said warning and then, as they look outside, there's three tornadoes already touching down. They had no idea this was coming. So that's what I think it goes to show is that they were like, oh, this storm surge is going to be 25 feet and then that massive tsunami comes in and it's way more than they estimated.

Speaker 1 11:42

And, to be fair, the tornado warning system in Los Angeles is probably pretty weak.

Speaker 3 11:48

Non-existent. We don't get tornadoes.

Speaker 2 11:50

No, like never.

Speaker 3 11:52

We don't have the conditions to even have a tornado.

Speaker 2 11:54

I mean it can like sort of happen with like the fires happening and then it kind of happens slightly.

Speaker 1 12:00

Hey, no, you're right, you're absolutely right.

Speaker 3 12:02

We do have things called fire tornadoes, but even then are the yes, but to the extent it's not like tornado alley nowhere near it. It won't be able to sustain itself long enough to really cause enough damage.

Speaker 2 12:16

Your buildings are made in fucking two by ones.

Speaker 3 12:20

Yeah a tornado a typically this isn't always the case, but considering our geographical location and the rarity that we have tornadoes, it's also incredibly unlikely that a tornado could survive going through the city. There's too many buildings that would block the wind and stop it from forming. But I mean, obviously, if you have an F5 coming through LA buildings, don't stop shit.

Speaker 1 12:42

See, that's where it would have been kind of cool if they would have done that instead of like all these little tornadoes all over the place, those were all F5s.

Speaker 3 12:50

Well, okay, maybe like two of them.

Speaker 1 12:51

One of them was an F5. I'll tell you that that is only.

Speaker 3 12:55

Because it goes off of damage. It destroyed LA.

Speaker 1 12:59

Which I mean. But I think that's like bogus, because how much damage a tornado causes versus its wind speed, its ground speed, its velocity, its width, all of those things, I think, count for its its uh rating, uh, but for instance, the el reno, uh, the el reno tornado, uh, missouri, I think that is it. Uh, no, I'm wrong on that, I forget where el reno.

Speaker 2 13:25

I looked it up, uh, california experiences several tornadoes every year. Uh, with at least 487 recorded since 1891, that's not a lot but where?

Speaker 3 13:37

in california okay, so because southern california I I occurred.

Speaker 2 13:42

I'm not saying we don't get two f3 tornadoes In the greater Los Angeles area in the 1970s.

Speaker 1 13:50

Interesting. F3 is pretty big dude that can cause some damage A tornado in 1891 killed a man in San Francisco.

Speaker 2 13:58

And there was another deadly one in 1952, which killed three people, okay, at least 100 injuries.

Speaker 3 14:07

That's a pretty good record of very rarely having tornadoes.

Speaker 2 14:11

It bent a. Uh, that's a railroad like crossing thingy that goes down.

Speaker 3 14:17

Yeah, the whole pole bent yeah well we have to worry about is earthquakes and tsunamis yeah but even tsunamis we don't like I think it was you who said that like a tsunami in californ California is really just a bad serve day.

Speaker 1 14:32

Well, what we have with Southern California most tsunamis are not going to hit us at the right angle, so when it comes in, most of them will come westward and our whole coast is slanted. So that's going to naturally dissipate the power of a tsunami.

Speaker 3 14:53

That's why that El Nino that recently hit only really did a lot to San Diego. We got some flooding up here, but it didn't hit up here the way it hit San Diego when you say El Nino, what Up here we get at least two to three a year. Tsunamis.

Speaker 2 15:09

No tornadoes, I'm looking up shit.

Speaker 3 15:12

we had an el nino um recently, the most recent storm that we had no, well el nino it. Typically, it's a type of storm no, no.

Speaker 1 15:21

el nino typically classifies a pattern, a weather pattern where warm water comes up from the south and floods, the floods all of our coast. That leads to more precipitation, and so they call them El Nino storms because they're generated by the warm water off of our coast.

Speaker 3 15:40

We had an El Nino storm. That it was all over. The news devastated San Diego for a little bit.

Speaker 1 15:45

But we get them like every several years. This one was exceptionally bad.

Speaker 3 15:48

Yeah, this one was pretty bad. It was one that remember. This one was pretty bad. It was one that remember what it was. Very recently it was like last may, not this last one, but the one before that were, uh, like there was concerns of like should people on the coast evacuate? But eventually they were like no, because the shape of the coast, maybe people in san diego should, and they did, um, and they had like some really bad flooding but we got like flooding up here but we just had like really bad rain and winds, but that was it.

Speaker 1 16:14

Yeah, I mean the last. Uh, those things usually happen because we get odd.

Speaker 2 16:18

We get powerful storms at odd times of the year, not that they're unusually powerful the last uh tsunami to that was like actually caused damage in my state was in 1964. That was because of alaska. There was a big uh earthquake.

Speaker 3 16:32

Yeah, sent it right down that earthquake anchorage earthquake that was speaking of flooding.

Speaker 2 16:37

There was flooding in texas recently yeah uh, that's pretty bad.

Speaker 1 16:42

That was really bad like that yeah, some of the things that I was looking at um, I think we were watching one right before we went live was people driving through oh my god, yeah, on the bridge the bridge was flooded over and people were driving through, like I could see the trucks were doing it, but were you? Did you watch the same one that I did with the beamer?

Speaker 3 17:01

yeah, it was stopped at the. It was a fucking car and I'm like, dude, you're so lucky you didn't flood your engine right there like that is.

Speaker 1 17:08

All of that whole thing is why I am a big proponent of make sure you keep your gas tank at halfway, make sure you have a getaway bag, a bug out bag or a 72 hour bag, if you will, in your car, ready to go at any time and keep some emergency cash on you at all times, because if you're in that situation, maybe that person is like that's my only way home. I can't get home if I don't cross this bridge, and every bridge I come to is all flooded over. Right, I gotta cross this river, but everything's flooded. How do I get home? Well, you don't.

Speaker 2 17:43

You turn around, guys this is why you should switch over to one of those cars that can turn into a boat. Um, it really it'll help in like pretty much every situation. It'd be better if we could get like a rv version and it could be like a houseboat you mean like the incredibles yeah, that'd be fucking sick.

Speaker 3 18:01

Yeah, that'd be sick, that'd be so dope.

Speaker 2 18:03

So back to the concrete speaking of concrete, see, that's a segue. New York.

Speaker 1 18:08

City, new York City, the concrete jungle.

They're not going to.

Speaker 2 18:26

I was going to say I'm sure they love that Dual rear, Dual rear.

Speaker 1 18:33

Dual gonna. I was gonna say I'm sure they love that dual rear, dual rear dual rear, dual rear, real rear.

Speaker 3 18:36

This guy, this guy, all right host. Are we doing well?

Speaker 1 18:38

I'm bringing the funny yeah that's my, that's my goal today you guys are doing great so in the uh, in the concrete jungle, if you will, all of that rain pouring down. I don't know if you guys noticed this, but when they were walking through the Natural History Museum, didn't they make mention of a specific animal that was on display?

Speaker 3 18:59

It did. They foreshadowed hard. You got foreshadowing? Oh yeah, they for sure foreshadowed, because you saw they talked about the instant freezing of the woolly mammoth, how it still had food, food in its mouth. And then, very shortly after you see the plane, the helicopters crash and that guy gets frozen as he's stepping out of the helicopter they foreshadowed the hell out of it.

Speaker 3 19:20

I wish he had gum in his mouth or something like that, oh, that'd have been even better that'd have been great if he's eating like a granola bar or something but my only beef with that is.

Speaker 1 19:28

I don't think it was the consumption of the Earth's resources that caused the woolly mammoth to go to get frozen, was it?

Speaker 2 19:37

No, it was just like back in those days, dude, was it like a?

Speaker 1 19:41

cyclical pattern. That just happens.

Speaker 3 19:44

Yeah, they were saying Well, I mean, we talked about this.

Speaker 2 19:48

Then it melts. Then there's ice ages and it melts. We talked about this there's ice ages, then it melts. Then there's ice ages, then it melts.

Speaker 3 19:50

Yeah, we're getting into this argument now where it's that the debate is really just how much of an impact are we, as humans, having on climate change? I don't think there's any argument whether or not climate change is a thing, because we have the data to show that the climate on Earth does change. The question is just how much of an impact do humans have? In my personal, stupid, humble opinion, I don't know much about this stuff, but in my personal opinion, I do think it's quite arrogant for humans to believe that we are going to destroy the planet. I think we could potentially kill ourselves, um, but destroy the planet, I think, is a stretch. I think, uh, the Earth will always bounce back.

Speaker 2 20:31

It'll bounce back once we die.

Speaker 3 20:33

Yeah, and the other thing is I don't know how much of an impact we actually have, because all the data that we have is not a lot.

Speaker 2 20:41

We don't have a lot of solid data, we're having somewhat of a change. I don't think we're going to immediately crash and burn within like the next hundred years, but like. There was like a substantial amount of like like during covid. Nobody was like driving around, nobody was doing shit.

Speaker 3 20:58

So the ozone layer recovered a little bit and we could see that, yeah, yeah, air pollution recovered quite a bit I'm praying for a meteor, though well, alex and I were talking about it, alex and I were talking about it and the question is like okay, if this is gonna like, how much of an impact do we really have? Is it going to be to a point where, like, is it the difference between 10 000 years and we go extinct, or 9 970 years before we go extinct? And it's like is that 30 years worth killing ourselves today, instead of just slowly progressing towards sustainable resources?

Survival Tactics in Extreme Cold

Speaker 2 21:36

yeah, like I think it would be. It'd be better if we did, like you know, progressively get towards the point where we're not where we're at, but like I don't think we're gonna, you know, and really, if we are just be like boomers, that's what the kids gotta deal with. That that ain't my fucking job. I feel that. I feel that I feel that?

Speaker 1 21:57

what do I care they're?

Speaker 2 21:59

smart. Wow, yeah, they'll figure it out skill issue really builds character.

Speaker 3 22:05

honestly, they should just grab themselves by the bootstraps and stop with eating their avocado toast. The fucking kids these days don't want to work, just solve climate change. Back when I was your age, I was sweeping chimneys and working in the fucking mines. Back in my day I bought a house for three raspberries and a dollar.

Speaker 2 22:23

Back in my day I used to fucking lick lead paint for fun.

Speaker 3 22:27

What are you doing now on the Tic tac and freaking insta, whatever back back in my day, I would stick my mouth on a lead faucet and I would eat the lead.

Speaker 2 22:38

Back in my day it only made me stronger. Fire didn't even come from those little plastic things you'd be flicking. I had to rub two sticks together. I had to walk uphill both ways to school, in the snow, in the desert, in Texas, in Texas on the moon.

Speaker 3 22:55

Yeah, these kids will just never understand.

Speaker 1 22:58

Back in my day, instant Graham meant something completely different.

Speaker 3 23:04

Back in your day, dysentery was the biggest concern.

Speaker 2 23:06

Yeah, fucking Oregon Trail traveling bitch.

Speaker 1 23:11

I died every time of dysentery. Dude, Maddie fucking beat that game Because they remade it.

Speaker 2 23:19

No, she didn't she did they remade it?

Speaker 1 23:22

No, she didn't, they made it easier.

Speaker 3 23:24

They definitely made it easier. We should play.

Speaker 2 23:26

Oregon Trail on them.

Speaker 3 23:30

I've literally never met anybody in my life who said that they've beaten the Oregon Trail. Matty S the original, the original, not the original. Nobody's ever beat the original, I'm convinced. I feel like me and you got to beat the original Eric.

Speaker 2 23:42

Work together All right.

Speaker 1 23:46

There's a way to do it.

Speaker 2 23:47

Yeah. But, yeah, back in Alex's, day.

Speaker 3 23:51

Honestly, I'm trying so hard not to bring up my Civ match that I've been playing. Stop it, I really want to no more.

Speaker 2 24:00

So I've been replaying Uncharted and, to be honest, it's a great game. It's just become a games podcast yeah. Gaming news.

Speaker 3 24:14

So anyway, the newest marvel rivals patch.

Speaker 2 24:16

Let's get into it let's really dissect. Let's open the patch notes, make sure you go into the comments and leave a gaming comment and I will send you this ps5, and then they never fucking do it.

Speaker 1 24:27

There's never an other video you liar I have an idea. I have an idea for you we do gaming where you have to describe to me how I'm supposed to play oh, I have the perfect game for that you ever heard of.

Speaker 3 24:40

Uh, what is it? Don't stop talking and no one dies, or something like that.

Speaker 3 24:45

Oh wait uh keep talking and nobody explodes yeah you ever played that game? No, you ever heard of that game? No, essentially it's a vr game um oh one person puts on the vr headset and they are presented with a bomb in front of them. Okay, that has a bunch of different puzzles and like uh, different things for you to solve a bunch of shit. So it'll be a whole bunch of different modules, and the more complex the bomb, the more modules and the more difficult the modules are the other person yeah, the other person has a big uh stack of papers.

Speaker 3 25:24

It's a bomb manual. It tells you like if there's this many wires um, cut this wire.

Speaker 2 25:31

If there's this many yellow wires, do this if there's no yellow wires do this like if you have the manual, you can't see it.

Speaker 3 25:38

Yeah, the person diffusing the bomb can't see the manual and the person with the manual can't see the bomb. So it's all about communication. So, like the person who could see the bomb is like I'm looking at wires here and I'm like okay, wires, how many wires? Four, okay, are there any red? No red, we die. Are there any blue?

Speaker 1 25:57

no blue okay cut the third one pretty good and they cut it. Dude, I was fucking good.

Speaker 3 26:02

I was good with the instructions, not so good with the bomb. I die instantly. I think we could actually do really well.

Speaker 1 26:08

No, I'm colorblind.

Speaker 3 26:10

Oh yeah.

Speaker 2 26:13

I forgot about that. Are there any?

Speaker 1 26:15

red wires. Which one's red You're like no, there's a lot of gray wires. I'm in colorblind mode. You're going to be like, are there red?

Speaker 2 26:24

Can you cut the light teal wire?

Speaker 3 26:25

please. I'm like, what colors are there?

Speaker 1 26:30

Gray Brown, light gray Brown, gray Blue. I'm like, what I'm like. What colors are there? Gray brown, light gray brown, gray blue, yellow I'm like cut the red wire, snip bang I cut the red wire it was green so back to the day after tomorrow oh yeah now I want to get into the things that really matter survival my sieve game, so it started no sieve so at the start of this movie, there's this baby that gets bitten by a radioactive beaver and, uh, once it gets bit, it grows like three more arms and it eventually, or the beaver, the beaver uh, I kind of feel bad for the beaver

Speaker 2 27:14

infected with the baby syndrome. Um, so this beaver, uh, now that it has all these arms, it's having a real hard time, like you know, being able to like function in normal beaver society. Uh, because they all the other beavers make fun of it, and so then he creates global warming.

Speaker 1 27:31

I think that beaver deserves it.

Speaker 3 27:33

He creates global warming. To get back at his beaver bullies.

Speaker 2 27:37

This movie is Obama's fault.

Speaker 3 27:40

Hey, you said it. You said it, buddy Caution.

Speaker 1 27:43

Caution, caution.

Speaker 2 27:48

Where was Obama when this movie came out? Why wasn't he in office?

Speaker 3 27:53

this was actually bush. This was bush. Bush did 9-11 and then he did this oh, bush did 9-11.

Speaker 2 27:58

That he did the day after tomorrow, bro.

Speaker 3 28:01

That's crazy enough is enough bush. Is he still alive?

Speaker 2 28:06

he's still alive, right yeah?

Speaker 3 28:08

yeah, his dad isn't. I don't think. No, I think his dad died, not recently, but like within the last 10 years, right? Yeah, within potus's first term yeah, good riddance fuck george w bush senior okay, name one thing he did in his presidency.

Speaker 2 28:27

He made it hard for black people what? Maybe probably probably yeah, maybe probably, I don't know it's a wild shot.

Speaker 3 28:34

Honestly it's, it's not unlikely.

Speaker 2 28:38

It's that you know it's a good game.

Speaker 3 28:44

Anyone, anyone beyond the 90s, is like there's a good chance I don't know, played golf a couple times you, you're wild Good chance. The day after tomorrow. You think Obama played golf, or did he play bowling? He played basketball, there's a basketball court. No way he did, he was a hooper. That's crazy. He's like Michelle. Join me on the court. Michelle, I need to let off some steam.

Speaker 2 29:13

Michelle, Michelle, watch me hit this triple-double.

Speaker 2 29:37

Okay, Monday the movie.

Speaker 3 29:39

We're talking about Monday the movie.

Speaker 1 29:41

The day after tomorrow, Monday.

Speaker 3 29:43

This movie was the equivalent of a Monday, so you are trapped in this library.

Speaker 1 29:52

Oh dude, no, no, this is gonna go Shut up.

Speaker 2 29:53

Make sure to get these clips, put these bitches on the fucking social. It's so hit.

Speaker 1 29:59

I sure as hell will not. I am avoiding these.

Speaker 2 30:03

It's your episode. Yeah, I know this is tough.

Speaker 3 30:06

Hey, get some control of your episode dude. Yeah, I know you guys suck.

Speaker 2 30:10

Control, I Control I. That's a Drake song. He's not doing well. Hey, get some control of your episode, dude. Yeah, I know you guys suck. Control, I control it. That's a Drake song. He's not doing well. He posted a picture and dude, he has Abin points.

Speaker 1 30:19

I'm trying so hard to listen to you. Tj just doesn't fucking care.

Speaker 3 30:23

He's already down 15 points he is ignoring just all the social cues at the moment, but I'm here for it. It's kind of funny. I don't give a fuck. I'm like staring at Alex waiting for him to start, and then TJ is like controller.

Speaker 2 30:40

There's no hope.

Speaker 1 30:41

He is so far behind that Josh could give him every point available, and he will still lose the next three episodes.

Speaker 2 30:48

That's fine, he'll give me a season point, because Josh is my fucking best friend Guess who has not been keeping track of season points y'all. Oh, you suck, I'm going to keep it track, okay, no, you haven't.

Speaker 1 31:00

Yes, I have, I have the green book.

Speaker 3 31:01

You've been, you've been counting yourself all of them he's like that's weird, I've won 20 episodes, this guy.

Speaker 1 31:09

I also hosted nine, crazy how did I gain points while I was hosting? Really the win is the friend must have got it from josh the win is the friends we made along the way.

Speaker 2 31:19

All I'm saying is eric has been interrupting too just saying minus two points for throwing eric under the bus oh, speaking of getting thrown under the bus, uh, I was watching gray's anatomy the other day and I got to the episode where george, actually george, um, and he, he ends up, uh, he, he got hit by a bus saving a lady and you don't know, it's him like the whole episode, yeah, traumatizing I believe that was the cliffhanger for the season finale the season finale yeah, we've seen george I've learned all my medical experience from gray's anatomy.

Speaker 3 31:52

So if I push one of mp I I could solve anything. Give me a medical. Give me a medical emergency uh, heart attack. Push one of epi. Cystic fibrosis oh, push one of epi. Pulmonary embolism that one's tricky. Push two of epi.

Speaker 1 32:07

Wait bald.

Speaker 3 32:09

I know one. Oh, I don't know if there's enough epi in the world, I know one you can't get.

Speaker 1 32:14

This one is different.

Speaker 3 32:16

Yeah.

Speaker 1 32:16

Yeah, this one's completely off the fucking rails.

Speaker 2 32:20

What is it when you have?

Speaker 1 32:22

yeah, yeah, this episode, when you have a pulmonary embolism along with an aneurysm and your heart is in afib, give up. No, you take one of epi, you give them amiodarone. Come on, yeah, that's what I said.

Speaker 2 32:48

Nurse push one of Epi. What the fuck are you doing into me?

Speaker 1 32:53

Wait, this is going to your arm. Yes, I know, nurse, don't worry, this is completely normal.

Speaker 3 33:01

That was you. Yeah, I know.

Speaker 1 33:03

Lock in you, freaking weirdos.

Speaker 3 33:06

I want to get some survival questions out of you.

Speaker 1 33:09

So survival answers to questions out of you.

Speaker 3 33:11

I just gave so much good survival advice.

Speaker 1 33:15

While they're in the library and they decide they're going to burn books to keep warm, do you think they did that in the best way?

Speaker 3 33:23

No.

Speaker 2 33:24

I have no opinion on it.

Speaker 3 33:25

I pushed epi personally, yeah they should have given the fight. They should have pushed one of five or one of epi to the fire yeah, they really should have let him going, yeah the fire was clearly dying.

Speaker 2 33:35

No, I'm gonna be 100, I would have just given up I feel, yeah, I don't.

Speaker 3 33:39

I also hate the cold, though I don't know.

Speaker 2 33:41

No, this is like the thing, but less exciting.

Speaker 1 33:45

So one of our survivors in the chat said what I was looking for. They should have burned wood. They had enough furniture tables, chairs they made that clear. I would have been throwing wood in there. However, if you're going to use books, I wonder if you know TJ, you might actually know the name of this. They had enough furniture metal filing cabinets, maybe duct work in the hvac. Do you know the name of the particular type of fire? I'm going to call it a fireplace, it's a bad word, but the um, the type I'm going to say this the particular name of the type of stove they should have built for the situation they were in.

Speaker 2 34:26

Well, they had filing cabinets and I've seen a video on Facebook. You can build a smoker out of it. So if they could find themselves like some ribs, or maybe this guy he goes straight to food. No, but like a fucking. You said a stove. I'm going to say the term stove'm gonna say something rocket stove.

Speaker 3 34:49

They could have built like a fucking oh, never mind, I would have been wrong there was a rocket stove is what they should have actually built.

Speaker 1 34:55

They should have put a filing cabinet inside of the chimney so it would go up. They should have used some, um, whether it be masonry, um, things that won't burn. You know, they got, they had enough, enough stuff in that building, but I was thinking like hvac, uh supplies, even other filing cabinets, other furniture, that's not gonna burn.

Speaker 2 35:16

I would have found like a really like like a room, a small room with a window it's'd be way easier to like heat up, you know.

Speaker 1 35:24

I think they they did well using that giant chimney, but it was so big that I think it was unreasonable to assume that they would be able to keep that fire hot enough using only paper. Paper burns so fast it does, yes, but now you could do the same thing in a rocket stove, and it burns less fuel, burns more efficiently, burns hotter, warms everything around it. So if you would have created a rocket stove inside of the chimney, it I mean I'm being ridiculous, of course, because this whole scenario was ridiculous but if you could have put that rocket stove inside of there, you could have generated so much warmth off of that. That filing cabinet would have been glowing red. The stones that you place around it or metal that you placed around it did reach those super freezing temperatures as it was coming in. It would have stayed hot and burning and it would have been safe, if you will.

Speaker 3 36:31

You know how else they could have achieved that? Set the building on fire.

Speaker 2 36:34

Yeah, I mean then you'd be breathing in like toxic shit.

Speaker 1 36:37

Especially cause well cause, he says he would give up, you won't be cold Valid.

Speaker 2 36:42

So you well, because he says he would give up, you won't be cold valid so you what you'd really know you would be like hot and cold yeah, you burn the building down from the base like up, so like you burn the bottom floor and then you go up a floor and then you'll be really fucking warm and then that floor start catching on fire, you go to the next floor and you'll have a cool like couple hours of heat.

Speaker 1 37:03

You'll be good you see how high the snow was. Packed right you break one of those windows, you set the whole building on fire and you lay half in half out one leg in the snow. That's the way to do it it's like putting your leg out of the blanket for sure except your leg is fucking frozen must be exactly the same you ever seen frostbite like, really like late stage frostbite, dude, dude.

Speaker 2 37:31

I seen a video dude's whole like like four fingers right here. They were all just like frozen in this position and he's like clacking them on the table. Is there a rock? Hard, hard.

Speaker 3 37:42

Yeah, I've seen people come back from Mount Everest Now.

Speaker 1 37:44

I agree, we have a.

Speaker 2 37:46

Stupid fucking expedition. It's already. People have already been up there. Why are you going up there?

Speaker 3 37:51

Okay, here's what kills me about Everest One there's so many dead bodies up there because they can't get them down.

Speaker 2 37:56

But they use these markers too. They're like oh yeah.

Speaker 3 37:59

There's so much trash. Yeah, green boots. There's so much trash up there because there's no trash cans, there's no way to throw your trash, so there's so much trash. It's a trashed up mountain with a bunch of dead bodies that everybody's like. Oh, you just have to get up there, why.

Speaker 2 38:15

And there are prettier mountains. It's crazy.

Speaker 1 38:19

So we have a survivor in the comments who's making some good points on this. That room was too large that they were in. They couldn't have kept themselves warm, that's what I was saying.

Speaker 1 38:28

They should have been snuggling together, snuggles, snuggles. The other thing we've talked about this before. That would have been good, not for them in that particular room. I don't know that there was anything that they could do with this, maybe with all the clothes that they had in the closets and stuff that they raided, uh. But one of the things if you're ever caught in extreme cold like that is go back to your childhood and I'm not kidding, build a tent. Build a tent on top of your bed, get your whole family together, uh, huddle underneath it, because your body warmth will be trapped inside of that tent and you're all huddled together, so like throw things on top of the tent, like blankets you can also throw things on top of the tent I mean you could.

Speaker 1 39:10

I was kind of thinking of building a tent with blankets. But if you have a tent, you're absolutely right, tj, that would be the absolute best. That was, uh, that had happened years ago when texas went through that.

Speaker 3 39:21

Yeah that was so bad.

Speaker 1 39:23

There was a man who took his kids' bed tent and they all slept in the bed together, a little tiny twin bed, but he did a laser thermometer for social media and showed the difference. It was 80 degrees inside of that tent where all of them were huddled together, and outside it was 43 in their in their house. So similar you, um, you want to trap your body heat as best you can. Your clothes you want on the outer layers when you're talking about rain and snow and stuff like that you want layers that will repel water or whisk it away. Wool, natural, natural, natural, natural, real wool, not synthetics, and avoid cotton because it will absorb the moisture. And then, as probably the best advice that was given in that movie came from the homeless dude, you use insulation. He was using paper. He admitted newspaper works better, but any paper would do. And I think in all of those situations, what you were dealing with in this movie, uh, you would have to take every advantage you possibly could and, uh, of course you need a lot of plot armor also anyway.

Speaker 2 40:33

That's why, alex, one of his plans is, if he ever gets sick in the zombie apocalypse, to stay like good temperature he was. He's gonna climb up into the attic and sleep in the insulation.

Speaker 3 40:44

That's right wait it out and all the fiberglass and what in all the fiberglass?

Speaker 2 40:49

well, I would bring blankets, some like houses that have like straight up natural, like wool insulation well, what is it?

Speaker 1 40:55

modern shit doesn't use fiberglass, they use uh foam, I think they use that fucking pink panther shit pink panther. I mean, it would be itchy as shit, don't get me wrong. I mean like, but if I could, I'd grab, like cardboard, I'd grab anything I could find take up there and uh, sleep on top of that. But you're absolutely right, I would just isolate so that I could be, I couldn't be reached and uh, hopefully I could get myself enough water and rock and roll.

Speaker 3 41:24

Just ride it out.

Speaker 2 41:26

So, you just got to recirculate the water. Dude Piss in your mouth.

Speaker 3 41:30

Ew, not even piss in a bottle and drink it.

Speaker 2 41:34

Piss directly into your mouth. If you get the arc right, you can get it Ew.

Speaker 1 41:39

So with that, I want to know your final thoughts, tj so with that, I want to know your final thoughts.

Speaker 2 41:50

Tj uh, the day after tomorrow is a okay ish movie. Uh. If you want to watch a movie similar to this, I would recommend 2012 more it's. It's a lot more fun, or, um, moonfall, because it's completely fucking ridiculous. This guy really loves doing disaster movies and he just has to keep up with himself. I don't know what his next movie is going to be? It's probably Earth Bomb or some shit, I don't know.

Speaker 3 42:13

I like a good disaster movie. I don't think I survived. To be honest, those tornadoes in LA were pretty bad. I think we would die from that. And then, on top of that, the whole world freezing thing.

Speaker 1 42:25

Yeah, I don't do well with cold you know, we actually would have been fine down here. Tj would have to come down here to hang out with us for years, because yeah because we were under the line yeah, I, but it would still be cold comparatively right?

Speaker 3 42:39

yeah, I don't do well with cold at all. I I would not have a good time, so I also um yeah, french fry when you should have pizza. You're gonna have a bad time sure, yeah, that's pretty much sums it up.

Speaker 2 42:52

I get the reference I get the reference all the people, all the people, old like me our number one fan official just left us because he hates us and he's not a fan anymore. Probably Eric's fault.
