[@Mister_Peppers]

I got my masters in Creative writing. They teach you that there are six script archetypes that you will have to write. The one Pyrion is talking about is often called "Retired Hero". It's probably the fourth or fifth most popular. The number one being "Christmas Animal".

[@_e8a]

selecting one of six formulas doesn't really seem creative at all

[@Mister_Peppers]

Welcome to Hollywood.@@_e8a

[@Sckadoo]

You guys don't know how happy I am that you are still doing this podcast after all these years.

[@Benny237]

For sure! It's so relaxing to listen to while doing stuff

[@Blitzkrieger17]

"his internets gone out an...." And youtube immediately starts buffering. Wtf sips, you broke my internets!

[@Skelldr]

The way pyrion can talk so confidently about things he absolutely has no clue about is so funny 😂

[@Wyattporter]

Episode 2 of me asking for Mailbag 28 to go up on YT

[@mrrobertman]

Where is mailbag 28? It's been on iTunes since the 24th...

[@Chairdolf]

Whaaaay im missing out on a mail bag gonna cry

[@suqmaidic1869]

Pyrion referring to a pen knife as a deadly weapon may just be the most British thing he's ever said.

[@infinite0rbit]

It's a type of pocket knife, so he's right.

[@tnorki]

Calling anything smaller than a tank a "toy" is the most American thing

[@lookoutforchris]

He doesn't exist in a world where he would use a knife on the regular as a tool. The UK is a big rubber padded island full of people on the dole. As an engineer you'd be laughed at to not how your own pocket knife / multi tool and have to borrow someone elses.

[@silvernug]

Lewis, and others who don't have knife skills or want to maintain a knife, get the hand spinning food dicers. Way more convenient then getting out a food processor, and it can mince way more thoroughly then you could with a knife.

[@_e8a]

I really want pflax to take care of his ticker. no dota, no tarkov, no stress. please live a safe and peaceful life

[@cyancat5451]

Lewis's take on Oldboy makes me want to reccomend it that way. "You should totally watch it, it's a kickass action movie about how awesome middle-aged men are"

[@42across]

Obligatory umm actually.. i am a barista and this job requires daily use of a box cutter, cuz we go through so many boxes every day that we gotta break down, ect haha

[@bonter1983]

Re: Pyrions question about kids toys from movies that arent suitable for them. They're targeted at parents that like the movies to motivate them to buy. As a dad I'm constantly guilty of buying my son toys that I myself think are cool.

[@kiverismusic]

Two in one week? fuck me, i'll have nothing to complain about at this rate!

[@mooncat7009]

if your surviving you just need a knife that cuts… also you can use all kinds of things to sharpen it when in the wild… you don’t need an ultra sharp 500 pound knife…

[@MasterDjinn]

creators of 3 body problem must have listen to this podcast

[@CriticoolHit]

Holy shit Wonka was so SO bad. I cant wait for pyrion to watch it and review it here.

[@Happy_Shopper]

I'm glad to hear that it's terrible

[@bleachit42]

Wonka was good.

[@scacknewman]

Why are you glad to hear that?​@@Happy_Shopper

[@Happy_Shopper]

@@scacknewman because it's just another remake cash grab that nobody asked for.

[@CriticoolHit]

@@Happy_Shopper AND it sucked. Badly. Really reminded us what a classic the first one was though.

[@daverowlands6692]

Well, in Unforgiven, at no point did William Munny (Clint Eastwood's character) beat anyone up physically. He was notoriously a cold, level-headed gunfighter/murderer, and Little Bill had even explained to the writer that the ability to not panic in a gunfight was key. I do agree that the other movies and characters Pflax mentioned are pretty ridiculous, but Unforgiven, in my opinion, is not one of those movies.

[@Razoreye175]

Bezos won't have a credit card. Remember that scene of Sunak not even knowing how to use a card? And that guy's only a millionaire.

[@Gabbro_1]

dude Emberleaf workshops are the real deal, awesome that they're yognauts.

[@Anipixelz]

I hope Pyrions heart will be healthy!

[@AYYYYYYKOOLAID]

Thank you for the additional podcast in only 4 days!

[@craigreilly1613]

Did Pryion say Bodega was on Spotify? I can't find it :(

[@OctaneIsNot6ft]

I’m a big fan of Lewis accidentally spoiling that there’s a Yogs Great British Bake Off spoof coming without even realising (unless I’ve somehow missed it and it’s already happened) Nevermind, I think he was referencing the one they did with Game Grumps years ago

[@KonaSuba]

They did it with the game grumps years ago

[@tforceraven]

Omg Pyrion! I'm late to this episode but I also had a heart thing earlier this year. I haven't had a problem with my heart in 13 years and now its something I have to worry about again. I'm sad and angry.

[@Sundayletsplay]

That knife sounds like a hori hori

[@Mechanisttm]

What is this release schedule?

[@BenDover-yd5db]

2 episodes in one week?!?! Hell yeah!

[@thomasfloyd6714]

The only time ive cut myself cooking is with a blunt knife

[@StalkTheHype]

Pyrion not calling an abulance for a heart problem might be the stupidest thing the Yogs have ever displayed. Seriously. Old men dying from being stubborn.

[@Terinije]

Threw away a golden chance to make a Sheriff of Nottingham, "cut your heart out with a spoon" quote.

[@41D3N]

Tbf if Rishi Sunak doesnt seem to ever pay for things (with contactless, at least), I doubt Jeff Bezos does

[@lookoutforchris]

So thinking about getting starlink internet makes you a musk fan boy? I'm a fan boy of every CEO from every company that is involved in anything I do in my life? Is that it?

[@TeamVanityVideos]

I've used my pocket knife to eat steak at work

[@illpunchyouintheface9094]

If you guys ever had to fight each other to the death with swords, I hope sips win.

[@Jefferu_Nintendomoto]

I have no idea wtf they're on about, I eat kippers out of a can with a razor sharp Extrema Ratio Mamba at work every day

[@ruffyfluffbeast]

How about, dull or sharp, pay attention and don't put your hands near the sharp side...

[@someperson8641]

❤

[@HYPERPEACE]

I sliced diagonally into my finger once when peeling a sweet potato, literally nightmare fuel. Since then, I've never really taken the risk of cutting. My philosophy with cutting is "If it's a risk, it's not worth taking." So I just gut with one hand now and never peel.

[@Skelldr]

28:15 Again pyrion are talking about gran turino which he believes is about Clint Eastwood beating up black guys and is in reality a fairly good anti racism movie. It’s not even close being a movie like an old man beats up everyone like Jack Reacher or John Wick

[@TopLob]

Pyrion is very right about Bezos. I recently got a job where the company feels like they need to kiss my ass a bit, and immediately I've stopped having to pay for many things. And I'm not even one of the really pampered ones. Someone like Bezos don't even have a credit card, let alone any cash. He's not going to stores for anything. While I'm being given stuff like cellphones, billionaires are given Ferraris. That's because it looks good for a company if someone like Bezos owns or use their products. It's basically the billion dollar version of youtubers being given products to review. So Bezos isn't even paying his own cars. And he's definitely not going down to the local shop to buy an ice cream. One reason is that he's miles away from any common population, and therefore any shop. And the other reason is that his kitchen staff makes the ice cream from scratch, using select ingredients that are too expensive to be found in any shop. You don't even have to be a billionaire to be this removed from normal life. If you've grown up in a family who owns a couple hundred millions, you've never even been inside a store.

[@bellenderjones7965]

Its a bit disingenuous to say the old men beating up young me thing is stupid, like most of them are men who have been trained or have stupid amounts of experience. Also i mean come on the power trope is ridiculously common. Also has Pyrion even watched The Intern, hes set out from the start as a leading professional who's well read and travelled and he solves a couple of problems but hes mostly a father figure.

incoming knife comments

[@dethmin173]

Lewis unironically referring to his knife by its brand name is quite possibly the most posh thing he has ever done.

[@Nimbus3000]

Is it? A Leatherman is more of a utility set that happens to have a knife. Seemed like he was just being more descriptive.

[@kylehumbert5735]

I carry a knife, my dad carries a Leatherman multitool. They are each different tools.

[@jamescarroll384]

Is saying Leatherman posh? I'd say "I brought my Leatherman" in the same way I'd say "I brought my Swiss Army Knife", depending on which I was carrying. It's not really a brag or extraordinary turn of phrase.

[@mooncat7009]

i have had a word with the spirit world and flax isn’t going to live much longer…

[@TomMotTom]

Them ranting about how sharper knives are more dangerous is nothing but a skill issue. If you know how to use a knife properly a sharper knife just is safer not to mention the benefits a sharp utensil brings in cooking. Them getting mad and being wrong was genuinely ridiculously funny

[@lifedragon99]

I found it infuriating. Pyrion's need to appear smart and like his opinion is always correct is getting tired.

[@Emperorhirohito19272]

“If you know how to use a knife properly”

[@minor_edit]

You can't claim it's safer if most people don't know how to use a knife properly. The phrase people wheel out isn't "better cutting technique is safer" and most people haven't learnt how to use one.

[@PBCjimbo]

I always have a knife with me. I have for most of my life. Sure, it makes for a decent self defense weapon if it comes down to it or survival tool if necessary, but those kind of events are few and far between. I do use my knife all the time in day to day life usually for opening things or working on little tasks, and yes, sometimes for snacks. People regularly call me by name and ask me for my knife because they dont have one and they know I always do. On a separate note, for Flax, the "nobody should have weapons" would be ideal but is simply not plausible because the bad guys dont care and will get weapons anyway. The next best option is for EVERYONE to have a weapon, and have respect and education on their weapon, so that when a bad guy has a weapon everyone else there can quickly stop them.

[@bleachit42]

everyone is a bad guy.

[@Jasper_Hill]

I have a holstered weapon. Can't wait to defend- oh the bad guy already shot me because they have no honor 🙁 at least my other chum with a holstered- oh wait he got shot too because the bg came from behind. Really glad we died with our weapons at least. What would we have done without them.

[@PBCjimbo]

@@Jasper_Hill good job winning your made up argument with yourself! 🤗🍪 here's a cookie! But seriously, in the USA at least, roughly ~43,000 people died to guns in 2023. About 24,000 of those were suicide, so if they didn't use a gun, they'd likely have used something else unfortunately. The remaining ~19,000 were homicide. That's horrible. But annually the USA, people use guns between 1,500,000 and 2,000,000 times legally and defensively to protect themselves, someone else, or property. That's a massive difference! And if everyone had a gun and knew how to handle them, then yes, the average citizen would be able to stop a mass shooter much more quickly than if they ran away or hid while waiting 10+ minutes for the cops to arrive.

[@DubhghlasMacDubhghlas]

"Sure, it makes for a decent self defense weapon if it comes down to it" No it does not. But hey

[@DerUnbekannte]

yeah you can look up the Taliban thing and you'll find it's not true just a very well done prank on the early internet

[@zacharyjakob]

And it was Mujahideen, not Taliban

[@Happy_Shopper]

I lost braincells listening to them talk about knives.

[@apophisdd]

Honestly can't imagine anyone worse and cringe than having Flax as a dad. He's soft as shite both physically and mentally and you couldn't trust him to defend a child from an angry cat.

[@TheZaius]

Sorry, but sometimes young people need to be taught a lesson.

[@Terinije]

Helen Keller once allegedly plagiarized another author. You read that right.
