Triforce! #64 - Lewis' Homeless Panic

[@pingley3387]

The obvious answer to why Lewis ends up in all of these situations is that he picked the Wild Wasteland perk.

[@highcard6296]

Mason life really is fallout

[@foreng3095]

Wild Wasteland + Luck 1, eh? I bet he's also a Black Widow what with all the Bristol Pusher stuff.

[@James-tl4jw]

Fo Ren G Lewis Sats -1 strength 5 perception 3 endurance 10 charisma 1 10 intelligence 0 luck when it comes to homeless people

[@hobanagerik]

It’s a shame he didn’t take Mysterious Stranger as well.

[@Blackrain7070]

Lewis is a true artist because he hates everything he makes

[@ryonkemp5980]

So is that why he doesn't play with Simon?

[@shinisaber]

that was smooth.

[@kodaxmax]

Its just because they don't get along as well as they used to and lewis just does things simon isn't interested in (endless minecraft and travelling for example).

[@JackPorter]

@@kodaxmax doesn't seem like Simon has an issue with endless Minecraft at all, just looking at his Twitch channel. I'm just tired of endless TTT and GTA races on the main channel at this point.

[@kodaxmax]

@@JackPorter well that was 4 years ago and simons streams are super chill, compared to the challenge packs duncan spams

[@redxenowolf9371]

100lbs is a very good bench press for the 6-year old Armenian child that Lewis Brindley is.

[@danielwhittaker695]

*Lebanese child

[@IceLordCryo]

If I may comment on Lewis’s homeless stories: part of the reason America’s homeless people are so “weird” is partly due to how we treat mental illnesses. Pflax was dead on with the “if you don’t have money, you’re fucked” analogy

[@kingkuma4112]

Pflax is correct on that.

[@Jake007123]

Exactly, in USA if you have a mental illness and you don't have money, your life it's gonna be HELL and sooner or later nobody will help you...

[@marcusmccabe7712]

Yeah there are vids on hospitals leaving people at bus stops just down the street especially when they have a mental illness and cannot pay. From Alzheimer's to schizophrenia

[@jacobwolfe6288]

Maybe because in America we don't want our money being taken by the government to do this, our system would be much better if it were completely privatized for innovation

[@Jake007123]

Yep, in Europe we are completely OK with our taxes being used to heal and protect people (our people, also). You know, because we know the difference between socialism and communism.

[@atomfpv1907]

Lewis you've made millions and millions for charity and brought happiness to millions of people. All of you guys have.

[@fence7446]

Thank you I was suffering withdrawals of my three dads

[@Cothfotmeoo]

No joke, when I was moving out of where I lived in Oregon, USA there was literally 3 different homeless folks scavenging through the dumpster in the 24 hour period it took me to clean out and pack up my apartment. Like they knew I was moving, passed the word along, and came by to dig through my leavings for the treasures. I gave away a lot of food that day but at the same time it's not only distressing as much as it is sad that that has to be the case. Some of those folk decide to live that way but the system definitely necessitates that level of poverty at some degree.

[@JustinFouche]

Being awful at something is the first step to being kind of good at something

[@Berttiz]

Just the thing I needed for a walk home, im ready.

[@kikiwannabananawatermelonmango]

Berttiz Hope you got home safely!

[@Berttiz]

Kikiwannabanana Watermelonmango Yeah i did, it was a nice evening walk with a bit of the first sunshine of the spring. Just got home with a pair of sore feet, top kek

[@Novaximus]

I would love to see these 3 do a video of being in a real life escape room together.

[@GItoKeG]

40:05 Sips hit the nail on the head. Majority of the country's homeless issue is because of that.

[@ryanlewis6823]

Watching this made me happy....my friend took his life last night and watching this at least brought me some joy....

[@wowo-ve8td]

Top ten questions science still can’t answer: why doesn’t triforce have consistency

[@oliverpolo1]

The triforce podcast - consistently inconsistent.

[@ItsMeBoingo]

Kinda like hearthstone

[@Datharass]

3 busy adults?

[@fluxxx_7474]

Best part of my week, (not) every week!

[@cacheman]

38:30 "attracting crazy people" is definitely a thing some of us do. All lothesome religioneers, people fielding surveys and homeless approach me all the time. I can be in a group with six people and they'll address me.

[@ribby9069]

So yogscast and steam are working together on Half-Shadow of Israphel Life, Episode (fourty) 3

[@repopolicious]

I am also a magnet for strange and homeless people. I feel your pain. You are not alone.

[@Adumb_]

I thought they were talking about Valve when they said a games company in Seattle.

[@imnotstpid]

They were

[@terrance217]

ArenaNet (Guild Wars) as well. In Fact Guild Wars 2 is having a PVP tournament starting on the 15th.

[@ribby9069]

What did you think the bit about a digital store for video games was hinting at?

[@GeorgeNashMusic]

37:52 Omg this is just too funny!

[@trebm]

I really appreciate these podcasts, thank you.

[@Snight101]

i fucking love these so much, they keep me sane at work.

[@pieterpauwels548]

in case anyone is confused about where lewis and sips are going: it's Valve. I've been there myself with school back in february and their office is pretty cool

[@rileystine8970]

Pyrion now has transitions. They're so amazing go watch his stream. Shout out to Jakeus/Gakeus!

[@Jacket-b9t]

Goldblum legit plays jazz every week though.

[@JoeSmith-pp6uy]

My favourite series of incredibly intermittent videos.

[@nedks11]

The fucking interactions Lewis get in. Neighbours, landlords, homeless people, gym trainers. Hahaha so bloody unbelievable. Haha. No wonder he plays video games. Gotta love him. It makes it mire funny since he is so seemingly undeserving of this.

[@abbym2513]

I'm glad they posted a new episode. I was really needing their brilliant shit today.

[@PWMaarten]

Lewis is awesome! The dynamic he has with DI Hethaway makes it an excellent show!

[@olly_0212]

Yo Pyrion, you’ve made it into numerous fortnite twitch clip videos with the clip where u told ur daughter that your greenscreen is worth more than her 😂

[@alextighe9537]

Where can I find this clip

[@olly_0212]

A channel called Twitch Moments and its ep.140

[@LRBeforeTheInternet]

+OliverDaniels I think you mean "cost", not "worth". LOL :)

[@MegaBigdadddy]

Apache Chief lol none of them are under 30, and you obviously don't watch the triforce or understand British humour if you took what flax was saying seriously ( he is 42 btw)

[@donamameng]

relativity unless they themselves complain, or youre from his exact same demographic, you cant say shit about how he is unfortunately that is one of the paradoxical curses humanity has

[@frederikjacobsen4194]

For 40 years I've waited, this... is my moment!

[@RexExLiberi]

"Jered Leto has a band, I think.." You think!?!?! Gered Leto is a rock star who occasionally acts!

[@miguelortiz1797]

“Yeah, every year” classic

[@SanityThroughMusic]

I REMEMBER THE BUSHMAN!!!!! I was there with my boyfriend at the time, he jumped out and scared us and then said to me, "You got jungle fever!"

[@capulcinka]

Lewis, I actually have really similar experience with San Francisco homeless scene. Stay safe!

[@F34RandL04THING]

Still think they should have named this, 2 Dads 1 Lad.

[@tomasdavies2801]

I got back from San Francisco a few days ago and I was genuinely shocked by how many homeless people were there

[@HeyItsMoyer]

Just finished this at work, love you guys!

[@mtblife5102]

I just finished binging all the episodes so the timing couldn't be better

[@FergusGriggs]

Escape room??

[@DJColdCutz_]

Homeless problem has some to do with mental illness, and a ton to do with drug/alcohol addiction. (Call it that a mental illness if you want, I really don't agree that it is..) Massive opiate addiction happening in America right now. People on the streets are mostly drug addicts who don't go to shelters because that would require them to get/stay clean from drugs/alcohol.

[@MrDisgruntledGamer1]

A massive percentage is also alcoholism, tons of drunk homeless out there. I feel like half of them start off clean and then they get it in their heads that all hope is lost and so they say wataheck ill try it cus another homeless guy is like this some good shit. IT just spreads like crazy. I mean why cant we just have basic income that would literally fix everything. Think about it, right now if you loose it all you dont have a chance in hell to climb back out but if the lowest you can go is living in a shitty condo but having all the basic necessities like shelter, food, water, sleeping, hygiene, you can atleast recover, recuperate, and reorganize to try and turn your life around.

[@apollo1205]

lewis say he's bad at a lot of things but then how did he rise five million dollars to charity.

[@dwaynehusbands6960]

"Jared Leto has a band" xD what!? he's way more famous for his career as a musician than an actor. It's only after the last few years his career as an actor has "improved"

[@HarshWinter101]

every one of these is like a breath of fresh air

[@stanislasbarrage7579]

Fan request : MORE PODCASTS

[@Smith22809]

Lewis was so so fucking flustered anytime he spoke.

[@Crescenzio_]

Man, that escape room talk was great.

[@flambo170]

Ha, brilliant, this was one of my favorite podcasts yet!

[@zimbu_]

Aww yeah! Time to listen for two minutes, fall asleep and wake up an hour later. Nap hype!

[@hadriilham2219]

Scariest story ever.... "Buy me chicken" *lewis screaming*

[@HuggableWinter]

When I saw the title I had a feeling there was going to be a San Francisco reference somewhere. I was staying in the Civic Centre last week and there was at least 6 Homeless people on every street for four blocks. I'm not from the US so maybe that's the case in every US city but it felt like SF took homelessness to a new level.

[@Huzaku]

Bigger cities tend to have more homeless. Because they know the people in those cities tend to have extra money. In Austin Texas there is a homeless person at every light holding a sign. It's very odd because it's almost like it's a career. A large amount of then arent even actually homeless. They do it because its quick cash and they have no shame I suppose. I've talked to a few of them in different cities, because I also attract these kinds of people and they can make several hundred dollars in less than an 8 hour work day. It's very odd, and I feel the people who are actually homeless and in need of help have it harder because they have people who are poing as a homeless to avoid getting a real job, ect. Its fascinating, and sickening, and its everywhere throughout the US.

[@SmooklyonKICK]

I know you guys don't read much comments, but holy fuck this is a great Podcast, heard every single episode since it started, just wanted you to know that, me and alot of other people really fucking enjoy hearing you guys talk. :D

[@Karlossus_]

Patiently waiting on the continuation of Bodega

[@johnnyzamora8229]

More Triforce please!

[@thod8820]

Madcat probably already has the Pyrion Batman into already on a file somewhere

[@johannes4922]

We need this to be longer

[@donovanwestwater7945]

Seattle infamously has a huge homeless problem for a while now, which explains the large amount of homeless people he saw in Seattle. It has been going on for a while now, and it sucks that we don't have better mental health treatments for them.

[@kwazooplayingguardsman5615]

Interesting Issues you know, your state can create a mental health institution.

[@donovanwestwater7945]

Fair point. I moved away several years ago, but often visit due to having most of my extended family there. Hopefully they'll create one at some point.

[@AshleyTheDinosaur]

I'm from birmingham hear how excited our the moyor got to host an esports was quite funny for me

[@AdolfHitlerMemeLord]

I woke up at 2am and have been waiting at my computer for 15 hours for this

[@bengeffon3153]

If anyone wants to do further reading on homelessness in America, the book Evicted by Matthew Desmond does a fantastic job of relaying first hand accounts of people facing homelessness and showing the influences of societies structures on causing/keeping people experiencing homelessness.

[@catcarrion1210]

the sinner is the best thing ive seen recently oh mY GOD yes Pyrion

[@TheRedstoneTechnic]

8:17 most relatable thing they've ever said

[@ItsRinaldo]

Imagine getting food poisoning then watching the screaming bear scene.

[@kanders7391]

Outside a grocery store in Pismo, last summer, I go out the door with my basket with two bags of groceries in it. A homeless man came up to me, two feet outside the door, somehow behind me as well. So he must have been waiting, just.. pressed up against the wall on the left, and he comes out of no where aggressively saying "maam, maam, maam." I jumped and looked at him, he's dirty and grabbing at my cart, I said, "Uh, no. Sorry, I have to go... I just spent it all on groceries." and walked faster, and he angrily said, "I was just going to help you put your groceries away! But forget it now! I wouldn't help you with anything!" He didn't have a store vest that the employees wear so hes not associated with them. I'm a woman.. I wouldn't even let a clean stranger, man or woman, come to the back of my car with me, especially if they were aggressively going let me help you with that! If someone is just walking by behind me, I have half an eye on them.

[@ewanbt227]

LEWIS, you just give up too fast, most people dont start skills at an extraordinary levels!!!!!!!!!

[@joebroughton4472]

Just as I was starting some work

[@SubBrief]

San Fransisco is the Homeless capital of America.

[@jeremiahmcelroy2726]

Btw lewis, 100lb bench is not much at all. My niece started going to the gym with me and she benches 100 now(she's 11)

[@foxxgames2779]

TRIFORCE IS BACK!

[@niallmutton3020]

Pyrion's crazy old man voice sounds like Hershel Greene from the walking dead xD

[@VKOp1No3]

Thanks dads!

[@swordguardia]

Huge sips fan, thinking about teagels or mykule

[@Wenzel368]

I feel like Lewis needs to take a second to breathe when he speaks. Lad's going a mile a minute xD

[@smilz58]

Masterpiece

[@Noblenoob1]

I love this show

[@auxiliis8366]

I listen to these while I clean my room so can you do more because my room is a mess for a while in between

[@glutenfreeWMD]

Good ol' west coast homeless epidemic. Those house prices just keep rising.

[@StancePunk]

State of Decay 2 is the game from Seattle fyi

[@writeitandweep]

When I watch this on google chrome and move my mouse over the video box, Lewis's triangle gets slightly brighter. Or maybe I'm crazy.

[@arthurkrite7182]

my fave podcast i love this

[@Te3Que]

Lewis 100 pounds benchpress is almost nothing, that's about 45kg and the bar that you put the weights on is 20kg so that would be an easy goal for you if you are not already able to do. but if not good luck to you.

[@TheHellopleasee]

It's back!!!!! What an episode hahaha

[@mikeallen9962]

These would only be 15 minutes long if Lewis could get to the point of his stories

[@frydog4217]

the microsoft games meeting will probably be about age of empires

[@knight4linux]

Please someone... Needs to find that Vlog with the homeless man!

[@scruffles3838]

37:00 standard encounter in the fallout universe

[@Yesidoplaytheguitar]

I have the same disease Lewis has. Problems just always seem to find me. Just last weekend i was walking through a rather large city in my country with a friend and some drunk guy just randomly started pushing us around screaming "YOU'RE LUCKY YOU HAVE A CHIN" at the top of his lungs. He did also have a chin though...

[@TheEighthDay0]

When my girlfriend wanted to go to the ballet, I had her bring in her purse two of those juice boxes with 500 ml of wine in them. I just low key got smashed sitting there and had a great time.

[@yourself6661]

WHERES THE TRIFORCE PODCAST?!

[@gomigomi1072]

The homeless in America are so much more confrontational. My pop has been asked several times to go to an ATM to get them money.

[@Gibbons-q5y]

There's more homeless people in San Francisco than in the entire UK.

[@howell2010]

In response to Lewis's stories, anyone who feels the same or gets into similar situations, don't look approachable. In my case, when I walk through areas filled with pushy panhandlers, I just look very pissed off. It works.

[@WhitieWu]

35:43 LMAO!

[@JoJoRetroGamerMudkip]

some of this sounds like the something like what would be in the ricky gervais show

[@zigyzigy0]

they're baaaaaaaaaaack!
