WEBVTT

00:00:00.240 --> 00:00:02.480
<v Paul>Good evening, Drew.

00:00:02.480 --> 00:00:04.480
<v Drew>Paul.

00:00:04.480 --> 00:00:04.800
<v Drew>It

00:00:06.560 --> 00:00:07.920
<v Drew>'s an end of an era

00:00:08.080 --> 00:00:09.120
<v Drew>today, buddy.

00:00:09.360 --> 00:00:10.000
<v Drew>What era

00:00:10.240 --> 00:00:11.200
<v Drew>is that?

00:00:12.080 --> 00:00:13.680
<v Drew>Destiny 2 is over.

00:00:14.880 --> 00:00:18.240
<v Paul>I almost put that in the notes.

00:00:18.240 --> 00:00:21.599
<v Paul>I almost put that in the notes because I saw that today.

00:00:21.080 --> 00:00:22.360
<v Paul>Yeah, well it's not over.

00:00:22.360 --> 00:00:22.920
<v Paul>It's just

00:00:23.080 --> 00:00:24.360
<v Paul>it's dying.

00:00:25.400 --> 00:00:25.960
<v Drew>It's i

00:00:26.119 --> 00:00:26.200
<v Drew>i

00:00:26.360 --> 00:00:29.640
<v Drew>I would argue that it's been dying for a while.

00:00:29.460 --> 00:00:29.939
<v Drew>Okay.

00:00:29.939 --> 00:00:32.579
<v Drew>This is just confirmation that Sony

00:00:32.739 --> 00:00:34.340
<v Drew>and everybody is just over it.

00:00:34.340 --> 00:00:35.140
<v Drew>So basically

00:00:35.780 --> 00:00:37.379
<v Drew>there was an announcement today

00:00:37.699 --> 00:00:38.020
<v Drew>that

00:00:38.700 --> 00:00:41.660
<v Drew>It's no longer gonna get any content.

00:00:41.660 --> 00:00:41.899
<v Drew>It's

00:00:42.059 --> 00:00:42.540
<v Drew>done.

00:00:42.540 --> 00:00:43.579
<v Drew>They're not gonna put any

00:00:43.739 --> 00:00:45.660
<v Drew>any more creative effort into it.

00:00:45.660 --> 00:00:46.940
<v Drew>And I would argue they haven't put

00:00:47.160 --> 00:00:50.200
<v Drew>Creative effort into it for at least a couple years now.

00:00:50.600 --> 00:00:50.840
<v Drew>Uh

00:00:51.000 --> 00:00:51.080
<v Drew>they

00:00:51.320 --> 00:00:54.280
<v Drew>said they are gonna keep the servers up and it's gonna be playable, but

00:00:55.220 --> 00:00:55.620
<v Drew>Like,

00:00:55.940 --> 00:00:56.900
<v Drew>why bother, right?

00:00:57.140 --> 00:00:57.380
<v Drew>And

00:00:57.540 --> 00:00:59.060
<v Drew>it's sad because I really

00:00:59.220 --> 00:01:02.180
<v Drew>there was a period where I played a lot of Destiny 2.

00:01:02.180 --> 00:01:03.620
<v Drew>I played it when it first came out.

00:01:03.620 --> 00:01:05.059
<v Drew>Same, same.

00:01:05.100 --> 00:01:05.899
<v Drew>I took a little break

00:01:06.060 --> 00:01:11.180
<v Drew>and then I came back to it after Forsaken and I loved Forsaken.

00:01:12.460 --> 00:01:15.579
<v Drew>Then I took another break and then I came back a little bit later

00:01:15.740 --> 00:01:18.060
<v Drew>and I played a shitload of it.

00:01:18.659 --> 00:01:18.979
<v Drew>Um

00:01:19.540 --> 00:01:20.420
<v Drew>so this this

00:01:20.580 --> 00:01:21.140
<v Drew>this sucks.

00:01:21.140 --> 00:01:22.180
<v Drew>I I I really

00:01:22.820 --> 00:01:29.540
<v Drew>underneath all the cruft and all the other live service bullshit they built into it was a really, really good shooting game.

00:01:29.900 --> 00:01:30.540
<v Drew>And uh

00:01:30.940 --> 00:01:32.620
<v Drew>have you tried marathon?

00:01:32.620 --> 00:01:33.500
<v Drew>I have.

00:01:33.500 --> 00:01:33.820
<v Drew>And

00:01:34.220 --> 00:01:35.180
<v Drew>that ain't it.

00:01:35.180 --> 00:01:35.660
<v Drew>Okay.

00:01:35.660 --> 00:01:36.940
<v Drew>Yeah, it's not for me.

00:01:36.940 --> 00:01:37.180
<v Drew>I mean

00:01:37.420 --> 00:01:38.060
<v Drew>the extraction

00:01:38.300 --> 00:01:40.220
<v Drew>I mean the the PvP V E

00:01:40.540 --> 00:01:41.260
<v Drew>part of it

00:01:41.600 --> 00:01:43.680
<v Drew>The PvE stuff is fun.

00:01:44.000 --> 00:01:44.320
<v Drew>Um

00:01:45.680 --> 00:01:48.560
<v Drew>but uh no, I could I could not get into Marathon.

00:01:49.200 --> 00:01:49.360
<v Drew>That

00:01:49.520 --> 00:01:49.600
<v Drew>that

00:01:49.759 --> 00:01:51.039
<v Drew>that wasn't it for me.

00:01:52.300 --> 00:01:52.620
<v Drew>Um

00:01:53.180 --> 00:01:55.580
<v Drew>but I I feel like this is a good segue

00:01:55.740 --> 00:01:56.380
<v Drew>that um

00:01:57.420 --> 00:01:58.860
<v Drew>Well yeah let's bump that up

00:01:59.100 --> 00:01:59.420
<v Drew>Yeah

00:01:59.580 --> 00:02:00.220
<v Drew>I um

00:02:00.780 --> 00:02:03.420
<v Drew>I made a concerted effort to play a Diablo

00:02:03.740 --> 00:02:04.140
<v Drew>4

00:02:04.940 --> 00:02:06.460
<v Paul>Okay.

00:02:06.460 --> 00:02:07.420
<v Paul>Okay.

00:02:07.420 --> 00:02:08.460
<v Paul>Okay.

00:02:08.700 --> 00:02:08.780
<v Paul>I

00:02:08.940 --> 00:02:10.700
<v Paul>s since uh for those of you uh

00:02:10.860 --> 00:02:11.900
<v Paul>we have we have a doc

00:02:12.060 --> 00:02:14.460
<v Paul>and the word playing is in quotes.

00:02:14.460 --> 00:02:14.780
<v Paul>So

00:02:15.100 --> 00:02:15.900
<v Paul>I'm not I'm

00:02:16.060 --> 00:02:19.260
<v Paul>I'm not expecting this to go well.

00:02:19.280 --> 00:02:19.600
<v Drew>Um

00:02:20.960 --> 00:02:21.280
<v Drew>so

00:02:21.760 --> 00:02:27.200
<v Drew>after our last recording session and hearing you talk about how the skill trees were all redone

00:02:27.360 --> 00:02:31.840
<v Drew>and there's all this good stuff in the game happening, I was like, okay.

00:02:31.920 --> 00:02:33.840
<v Drew>I'm gonna go buy

00:02:34.000 --> 00:02:37.440
<v Drew>the least expensive edition of the expansion.

00:02:37.440 --> 00:02:37.760
<v Drew>Okay.

00:02:37.760 --> 00:02:38.320
<v Drew>Okay.

00:02:38.320 --> 00:02:40.480
<v Drew>And I'm gonna try Paladin.

00:02:40.480 --> 00:02:44.720
<v Drew>Now, for those of you that haven't listened to me talk about Diablo 4 before

00:02:45.040 --> 00:02:46.160
<v Drew>When I played it

00:02:46.400 --> 00:02:49.520
<v Drew>shortly after it came out, I played Barbarian.

00:02:49.520 --> 00:02:53.920
<v Drew>I did not understand, and I still do not understand how that class works.

00:02:53.760 --> 00:02:53.920
<v Drew>It's

00:02:54.400 --> 00:02:54.560
<v Drew>a little

00:02:54.720 --> 00:02:55.280
<v Drew>complicated.

00:02:55.280 --> 00:02:55.600
<v Drew>Yeah.

00:02:55.600 --> 00:02:55.840
<v Drew>The R

00:02:56.000 --> 00:02:56.080
<v Drew>sol

00:02:56.320 --> 00:02:57.120
<v Paul>system is weird.

00:02:57.120 --> 00:02:57.440
<v Paul>Yeah.

00:02:57.760 --> 00:03:00.080
<v Drew>It was a very inefficient

00:03:00.400 --> 00:03:01.360
<v Drew>soloing

00:03:02.099 --> 00:03:02.980
<v Drew>experience.

00:03:02.980 --> 00:03:05.620
<v Drew>I was not able to kill things fast enough.

00:03:05.620 --> 00:03:05.860
<v Drew>Um

00:03:06.020 --> 00:03:09.700
<v Drew>I was not able to kill things en masse easily.

00:03:09.700 --> 00:03:11.620
<v Drew>So I did not have a good time.

00:03:11.620 --> 00:03:12.100
<v Drew>And I

00:03:12.260 --> 00:03:16.740
<v Drew>and actually I think my barbarian got up to level 46, and that's just where I stopped.

00:03:16.740 --> 00:03:18.100
<v Drew>I'm like, this isn't fun anymore.

00:03:18.100 --> 00:03:19.540
<v Drew>I was dying way too much.

00:03:19.540 --> 00:03:21.780
<v Drew>I wasn't even playing on a super hard difficulty.

00:03:21.780 --> 00:03:24.580
<v Drew>I was playing on just a hard, I think.

00:03:25.060 --> 00:03:25.300
<v Drew>So

00:03:25.460 --> 00:03:27.300
<v Drew>I bought the expansion

00:03:27.540 --> 00:03:33.540
<v Drew>and my intention was to pick a paladin because I like the paladin class in the previous Diabos.

00:03:34.000 --> 00:03:34.319
<v Drew>and

00:03:34.640 --> 00:03:35.120
<v Drew>play

00:03:35.280 --> 00:03:37.840
<v Drew>through the entire campaign.

00:03:37.840 --> 00:03:39.280
<v Drew>So the original campaign.

00:03:39.280 --> 00:03:39.599
<v Drew>Okay.

00:03:39.599 --> 00:03:40.080
<v Drew>Okay.

00:03:40.080 --> 00:03:42.880
<v Drew>The first expansion that I completely skipped, which was I

00:03:43.160 --> 00:03:44.120
<v Drew>Vessel of Hatred.

00:03:44.120 --> 00:03:45.400
<v Drew>Vessel of Hatred.

00:03:45.400 --> 00:03:46.760
<v Drew>And then the new one.

00:03:47.160 --> 00:03:47.320
<v Drew>Uh

00:03:47.480 --> 00:03:52.200
<v Drew>apparently I misclicked because when I built my Paladin, it just threw me into the new campaign.

00:03:52.200 --> 00:03:52.440
<v Paul>Oh

00:03:52.600 --> 00:03:53.320
<v Paul>yeah, you have

00:03:53.480 --> 00:03:54.360
<v Paul>that's the default.

00:03:54.360 --> 00:03:54.840
<v Paul>You have to

00:03:55.000 --> 00:03:57.080
<v Paul>yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:03:56.740 --> 00:03:56.980
<v Paul>Um

00:03:57.540 --> 00:03:58.660
<v Paul>it's kind of dumb, but

00:03:59.060 --> 00:04:01.060
<v Drew>I played it on normal.

00:04:01.060 --> 00:04:01.380
<v Drew>I I

00:04:01.700 --> 00:04:02.500
<v Drew>I went online

00:04:02.740 --> 00:04:06.100
<v Drew>and I found a build and I was like, I'm just gonna follow this guide.

00:04:06.100 --> 00:04:06.900
<v Drew>I'm gonna play it.

00:04:06.900 --> 00:04:09.460
<v Drew>I'm gonna build, I'm gonna set up my action bar.

00:04:09.720 --> 00:04:12.120
<v Drew>And I'm not gonna worry about loot too much.

00:04:12.120 --> 00:04:15.239
<v Drew>I'm just gonna follow the leveling guide and I'm gonna do whatever.

00:04:15.239 --> 00:04:15.720
<v Drew>Yeah.

00:04:15.720 --> 00:04:16.040
<v Drew>Um

00:04:16.359 --> 00:04:18.600
<v Drew>my paladin and his hammers got through that

00:04:19.000 --> 00:04:21.479
<v Drew>got through the expansion in about 12 hours.

00:04:22.560 --> 00:04:22.960
<v Paul>Yeah.

00:04:22.960 --> 00:04:26.160
<v Paul>It's the the the the expansions are never they're never very long.

00:04:26.160 --> 00:04:26.320
<v Paul>Like

00:04:26.720 --> 00:04:27.120
<v Paul>No.

00:04:27.120 --> 00:04:27.520
<v Paul>Yeah.

00:04:27.520 --> 00:04:27.759
<v Paul>Yeah.

00:04:27.919 --> 00:04:29.600
<v Paul>They're just quick little story bites.

00:04:29.600 --> 00:04:29.919
<v Paul>Yeah.

00:04:29.919 --> 00:04:30.160
<v Drew>Yeah.

00:04:30.479 --> 00:04:31.199
<v Drew>And it was

00:04:31.260 --> 00:04:31.740
<v Drew>It was good.

00:04:31.740 --> 00:04:37.820
<v Drew>Like they gave me a nice recap of all the stuff that I never got to experience in the first one and then I guess what happened in the middle.

00:04:38.140 --> 00:04:38.460
<v Drew>Um

00:04:39.440 --> 00:04:41.040
<v Drew>And the reason that I have the word

00:04:41.280 --> 00:04:45.120
<v Drew>playing in quotes is that unlike the barbarian, uh, get

00:04:45.360 --> 00:04:45.920
<v Drew>faith, make

00:04:46.160 --> 00:04:46.400
<v Drew>hammers

00:04:46.720 --> 00:04:47.200
<v Drew>win

00:04:49.780 --> 00:04:54.180
<v Drew>It almost became like vampire survivors at one point where I'm just walking around and stuff's dying.

00:04:54.340 --> 00:04:55.220
<v Drew>Things are dying.

00:04:55.220 --> 00:04:55.620
<v Paul>Yeah.

00:04:55.620 --> 00:04:56.180
<v Paul>Yeah.

00:04:56.180 --> 00:04:57.220
<v Drew>Which I think is like

00:04:57.260 --> 00:04:57.420
<v Drew>The

00:04:57.580 --> 00:04:58.140
<v Drew>Diablo

00:04:58.300 --> 00:04:59.580
<v Drew>is what you're supposed to do, right?

00:04:59.580 --> 00:05:00.780
<v Drew>Like isn't that the point?

00:05:00.780 --> 00:05:02.700
<v Paul>I mean blasting is the point, right?

00:05:02.700 --> 00:05:04.460
<v Paul>Like it's yeah, yeah.

00:05:04.460 --> 00:05:05.100
<v Paul>It's

00:05:05.039 --> 00:05:08.639
<v Paul>Going in there and just like, oh, there is a hundred enemies on the screen.

00:05:08.960 --> 00:05:10.080
<v Paul>God damn, that's looking

00:05:10.240 --> 00:05:10.960
<v Paul>at the title.

00:05:10.960 --> 00:05:12.879
<v Paul>I'm sure blasting is the point.

00:05:17.680 --> 00:05:18.000
<v Paul>Oh

00:05:18.560 --> 00:05:19.600
<v Paul>Anywho, yeah.

00:05:19.600 --> 00:05:22.160
<v Paul>My son also started playing Diablo 4.

00:05:22.160 --> 00:05:22.320
<v Paul>So

00:05:22.639 --> 00:05:24.000
<v Paul>So, okay.

00:05:24.000 --> 00:05:26.080
<v Drew>Um, but now I'm at the point I I

00:05:26.260 --> 00:05:26.580
<v Drew>finish

00:05:26.740 --> 00:05:27.700
<v Drew>the expansion

00:05:27.860 --> 00:05:29.460
<v Drew>and I know that I have to like

00:05:29.620 --> 00:05:34.900
<v Drew>go back to previous content if I want to get a mount or if I want to unlock mercenaries and some of this other stuff.

00:05:34.900 --> 00:05:37.380
<v Drew>So that's kind of like the phase I'm in right now.

00:05:37.380 --> 00:05:37.700
<v Drew>Um

00:05:38.699 --> 00:05:42.060
<v Drew>But what I don't fully understand, and I've done a little bit of wiki

00:05:42.220 --> 00:05:44.460
<v Drew>reading and a little bit of research, is

00:05:44.780 --> 00:05:45.099
<v Drew>what

00:05:45.419 --> 00:05:47.340
<v Drew>is the thing that I do now?

00:05:47.340 --> 00:05:48.860
<v Drew>Normal is clearly too easy.

00:05:48.860 --> 00:05:50.060
<v Drew>I bumped it up to hard.

00:05:50.060 --> 00:05:50.940
<v Drew>I still wasn't

00:05:50.960 --> 00:05:56.080
<v Drew>Barely taking any damage and I bumped it up to just the next one which starts with a P.

00:05:56.080 --> 00:05:56.400
<v Paul>Penn

00:05:56.639 --> 00:05:57.440
<v Paul>pentate?

00:05:57.440 --> 00:05:57.599
<v Paul>Pent

00:05:57.759 --> 00:05:58.560
<v Paul>pentinate, yeah.

00:05:58.560 --> 00:05:59.680
<v Paul>Yeah, pentinate, yeah.

00:05:59.680 --> 00:06:00.319
<v Drew>Yeah.

00:06:00.319 --> 00:06:02.960
<v Drew>And I'm I'm now to the point where I have to use potions

00:06:03.320 --> 00:06:04.680
<v Paul>Okay, okay, yeah, that that

00:06:04.840 --> 00:06:05.560
<v Paul>that's that's good.

00:06:05.560 --> 00:06:06.200
<v Paul>That's good.

00:06:06.200 --> 00:06:06.680
<v Paul>Yeah.

00:06:06.680 --> 00:06:07.000
<v Paul>Uh

00:06:07.160 --> 00:06:10.120
<v Paul>so if you want to continue to keep playing, uh

00:06:12.120 --> 00:06:12.440
<v Paul>so

00:06:14.640 --> 00:06:14.960
<v Paul>The

00:06:16.160 --> 00:06:20.000
<v Paul>there's one key activity that you need to keep in mind, and that is

00:06:21.120 --> 00:06:21.200
<v Paul>that

00:06:21.440 --> 00:06:21.520
<v Paul>that

00:06:22.240 --> 00:06:23.440
<v Paul>okay, the pit.

00:06:23.440 --> 00:06:24.000
<v Paul>The pit

00:06:24.440 --> 00:06:25.000
<v Paul>All right.

00:06:25.000 --> 00:06:25.480
<v Paul>What the pit

00:06:25.640 --> 00:06:26.440
<v Paul>will do, the pit

00:06:26.600 --> 00:06:30.920
<v Paul>basically starts as level one and goes up to like, I don't know, ridiculous level.

00:06:30.920 --> 00:06:31.240
<v Paul>But

00:06:32.760 --> 00:06:33.640
<v Paul>Those thresholds

00:06:33.800 --> 00:06:39.320
<v Paul>that I can't remember exactly what the thresholds are because they change them all the time, they essentially map to difficulty levels

00:06:39.900 --> 00:06:40.060
<v Paul>So

00:06:40.300 --> 00:06:43.979
<v Paul>you can run the pit and figure out like, am I ready for torment?

00:06:43.979 --> 00:06:45.180
<v Paul>Am I ready for torment?

00:06:45.180 --> 00:06:45.419
<v Paul>Because

00:06:45.580 --> 00:06:45.740
<v Paul>the

00:06:45.979 --> 00:06:49.180
<v Paul>torment, the torment difficulties is when you start getting

00:06:49.340 --> 00:06:49.580
<v Paul>like

00:06:49.820 --> 00:06:51.660
<v Paul>endgame gear.

00:06:51.460 --> 00:06:51.780
<v Paul>Right.

00:06:51.780 --> 00:06:52.099
<v Paul>Okay.

00:06:52.099 --> 00:06:53.300
<v Paul>You start getting mythics, m

00:06:53.460 --> 00:06:54.419
<v Paul>or ancestrials

00:06:54.580 --> 00:06:56.020
<v Paul>and possible mythic drops.

00:06:56.020 --> 00:07:01.139
<v Paul>And the higher you go in torment, the more likely you are to get those those styles of drops.

00:07:01.139 --> 00:07:02.259
<v Paul>So the pit is kind of your

00:07:02.419 --> 00:07:04.099
<v Paul>am I ready to do this

00:07:04.340 --> 00:07:04.900
<v Paul>thing.

00:07:05.740 --> 00:07:08.540
<v Paul>And then I would recommend, I would recommend the

00:07:08.780 --> 00:07:08.860
<v Paul>war

00:07:09.100 --> 00:07:12.220
<v Paul>plans are good because as you keep playing, it will

00:07:13.020 --> 00:07:16.700
<v Paul>introduce you to all the other endgame content, right?

00:07:16.760 --> 00:07:17.080
<v Paul>So it

00:07:17.320 --> 00:07:18.680
<v Paul>introduced you to uh uh

00:07:18.920 --> 00:07:19.720
<v Paul>Helltides

00:07:19.880 --> 00:07:21.960
<v Paul>, the Infernal Hordes, uh

00:07:22.120 --> 00:07:22.680
<v Paul>Carassed

00:07:22.840 --> 00:07:24.280
<v Paul>Undercity, uh

00:07:24.440 --> 00:07:26.520
<v Paul>Nightmare Dungeons, and then you

00:07:26.680 --> 00:07:27.160
<v Paul>also learn

00:07:27.400 --> 00:07:27.720
<v Paul>like

00:07:28.139 --> 00:07:29.100
<v Paul>When you get have you

00:07:29.259 --> 00:07:30.380
<v Paul>have you hit Paragon

00:07:30.540 --> 00:07:31.020
<v Paul>yet?

00:07:31.020 --> 00:07:31.660
<v Paul>Yes.

00:07:31.660 --> 00:07:32.139
<v Paul>Okay.

00:07:32.139 --> 00:07:33.500
<v Paul>Oh, I just dropped something.

00:07:33.500 --> 00:07:34.060
<v Paul>My bad.

00:07:34.220 --> 00:07:35.820
<v Paul>Cut that, cut that, cut that.

00:07:37.500 --> 00:07:38.460
<v Paul>This is the show.

00:07:38.460 --> 00:07:39.419
<v Paul>Okay.

00:07:39.420 --> 00:07:45.180
<v Paul>As you will get glyphs for your paragon board, the only place you can upgrade those glyphs is in the pit.

00:07:45.180 --> 00:07:45.660
<v Paul>That is it.

00:07:46.940 --> 00:07:47.980
<v Drew>Okay, so that was gonna

00:07:48.140 --> 00:07:50.300
<v Drew>I I I came prepared tonight with questions.

00:07:50.320 --> 00:07:50.640
<v Drew>Okay.

00:07:51.200 --> 00:07:56.160
<v Drew>Because there is an insane amount of materials and activities.

00:07:56.480 --> 00:07:58.960
<v Drew>And it's just like, what do I do?

00:07:59.400 --> 00:08:04.040
<v Drew>And I thought War Plans was kind of it, because that's where I sort of like really started testing myself.

00:08:04.040 --> 00:08:05.720
<v Drew>And a lot of that stuff I can run solo.

00:08:05.720 --> 00:08:09.240
<v Drew>Nightmare Dungeons I really haven't done yet because I don't understand how to do them.

00:08:09.240 --> 00:08:12.040
<v Paul>Nightmare Dungeons are just regular dungeons.

00:08:11.539 --> 00:08:12.740
<v Paul>that are a little bit harder.

00:08:12.740 --> 00:08:13.060
<v Paul>That's it.

00:08:13.060 --> 00:08:13.379
<v Paul>That's it.

00:08:13.379 --> 00:08:13.699
<v Paul>That's it.

00:08:14.020 --> 00:08:16.659
<v Drew>But don't you need like a key or a trophy or something to go in?

00:08:16.979 --> 00:08:19.860
<v Paul>So if you want to go to a specific dungeon, because

00:08:20.180 --> 00:08:20.740
<v Paul>each of the the

00:08:20.900 --> 00:08:23.780
<v Paul>you'll get keys and each of the keys have like certain things.

00:08:23.780 --> 00:08:23.860
<v Paul>Like

00:08:24.020 --> 00:08:26.259
<v Paul>this one will have more gems.

00:08:25.840 --> 00:08:27.920
<v Paul>And we'll have these type of enemies.

00:08:27.920 --> 00:08:33.760
<v Paul>But if you just do war plans, you don't have a key, it'll just send you to a random nightmare dungeon

00:08:33.700 --> 00:08:34.099
<v Paul>Right.

00:08:34.099 --> 00:08:35.539
<v Paul>Same thing with like you don't need a

00:08:35.700 --> 00:08:38.260
<v Paul>you don't need an infernal compass to do hordes

00:08:38.580 --> 00:08:39.779
<v Paul>if you're doing war

00:08:39.940 --> 00:08:41.459
<v Paul>plans, it'll send you to the basic one.

00:08:41.459 --> 00:08:48.260
<v Paul>Now if you want to go to like a higher difficulty or want certain rewards, then you wanna use your own and not let it automatically.

00:08:48.220 --> 00:08:48.860
<v Paul>Uh

00:08:49.500 --> 00:08:52.460
<v Paul>nightwear dungeons are really good for like crafting materials.

00:08:52.460 --> 00:08:52.940
<v Paul>Okay, so

00:08:53.100 --> 00:08:55.020
<v Paul>basically the loop is

00:08:55.580 --> 00:08:57.740
<v Paul>run the pit to figure out what difficulty you

00:08:57.980 --> 00:08:59.340
<v Paul>you can be at.

00:08:59.240 --> 00:08:59.560
<v Paul>Uh

00:08:59.800 --> 00:09:02.200
<v Paul>so each of your paragon boards, uh

00:09:02.360 --> 00:09:03.560
<v Paul>outside of the first one.

00:09:03.560 --> 00:09:04.120
<v Paul>Remember that you can

00:09:04.280 --> 00:09:08.600
<v Paul>you can add if you didn't realize this, you can add up to five different paragon boards.

00:09:08.600 --> 00:09:11.080
<v Paul>You start with one and you can add four more.

00:09:11.080 --> 00:09:12.600
<v Paul>Where do you get them?

00:09:12.420 --> 00:09:12.660
<v Paul>Uh

00:09:12.899 --> 00:09:13.139
<v Paul>so

00:09:13.300 --> 00:09:13.540
<v Paul>if

00:09:13.860 --> 00:09:15.779
<v Paul>on the board if you get your

00:09:16.019 --> 00:09:19.380
<v Paul>if basically if you you know you have a trail of things that you can get

00:09:19.620 --> 00:09:22.019
<v Paul>if you get to the edge of one of them

00:09:22.459 --> 00:09:25.580
<v Paul>it'll allow you to add another board onto there.

00:09:25.580 --> 00:09:26.060
<v Paul>Okay.

00:09:26.060 --> 00:09:27.100
<v Paul>On that space.

00:09:27.100 --> 00:09:27.500
<v Paul>All right.

00:09:27.500 --> 00:09:30.140
<v Paul>Each of those boards has two key things.

00:09:30.140 --> 00:09:33.339
<v Paul>It has a legendary node that gives you like a really good power.

00:09:33.339 --> 00:09:34.220
<v Paul>And it's got a in

00:09:34.380 --> 00:09:36.459
<v Paul>every board has a slot for a glyph

00:09:36.360 --> 00:09:37.880
<v Paul>And a glyph will do.

00:09:38.680 --> 00:09:42.280
<v Paul>This is the thing where I say just find a build guide because Paragon

00:09:42.440 --> 00:09:43.880
<v Paul>is so fucking complicated.

00:09:43.880 --> 00:09:45.640
<v Paul>Find one that you vaguely like.

00:09:45.459 --> 00:09:47.140
<v Paul>Whether you follow the loot

00:09:47.300 --> 00:09:51.779
<v Paul>or any of that stuff, just follow the paragon 'cause it'll tell you what to do and in what order.

00:09:51.779 --> 00:09:52.260
<v Paul>My build

00:09:52.420 --> 00:09:54.740
<v Drew>my build page doesn't have anything for paragon.

00:09:54.899 --> 00:09:56.899
<v Paul>So you what you might have to do is switch.

00:09:56.899 --> 00:10:00.260
<v Paul>So you may be running a leveling build.

00:09:59.779 --> 00:10:01.140
<v Paul>you have to find an end

00:10:01.300 --> 00:10:02.500
<v Paul>game build.

00:10:02.500 --> 00:10:03.860
<v Paul>I see.

00:10:03.860 --> 00:10:04.339
<v Paul>Mm-hmm.

00:10:04.500 --> 00:10:05.060
<v Paul>Okay.

00:10:05.060 --> 00:10:05.540
<v Paul>Yeah.

00:10:05.540 --> 00:10:07.700
<v Paul>So the end game builds will have Paragon.

00:10:07.700 --> 00:10:09.700
<v Paul>And then the the glyphs fit into a glyphs

00:10:09.860 --> 00:10:11.459
<v Paul>glyphs socket and you as you level them up

00:10:11.620 --> 00:10:13.060
<v Paul>they get more powerful

00:10:12.959 --> 00:10:15.519
<v Paul>And the only place you can level up glyphs is the pit.

00:10:15.519 --> 00:10:17.519
<v Paul>So there is an incentive to run the pit anyway

00:10:17.680 --> 00:10:18.560
<v Paul>to get those glyphs.

00:10:18.560 --> 00:10:18.800
<v Paul>And the

00:10:19.040 --> 00:10:20.320
<v Paul>the higher level

00:10:21.020 --> 00:10:23.260
<v Paul>The higher level of the pit, the more

00:10:23.820 --> 00:10:27.660
<v Paul>reliable and frequent those glyph upgrades can be.

00:10:28.140 --> 00:10:28.460
<v Drew>So

00:10:28.959 --> 00:10:30.640
<v Drew>Quick quick question about that.

00:10:30.640 --> 00:10:33.519
<v Drew>So I put a link to the leveling build that I'm or the

00:10:33.760 --> 00:10:36.000
<v Drew>the build that I'm using for my paladin, right?

00:10:36.640 --> 00:10:41.200
<v Drew>And I like that there's a little toggle on the skill tree that says leveling path.

00:10:41.200 --> 00:10:42.800
<v Drew>And it basically says at this level pick this.

00:10:42.800 --> 00:10:43.120
<v Drew>At level

00:10:43.280 --> 00:10:43.360
<v Paul>so

00:10:43.520 --> 00:10:44.240
<v Drew>we'll pick that

00:10:44.360 --> 00:10:46.040
<v Drew>How come it goes up to 84?

00:10:46.040 --> 00:10:48.280
<v Drew>I'm not getting skill points past 70.

00:10:48.280 --> 00:10:49.240
<v Paul>Okay, so

00:10:49.400 --> 00:10:49.640
<v Paul>there

00:10:49.960 --> 00:10:50.600
<v Paul>will be

00:10:50.840 --> 00:10:58.040
<v Paul>in the seasonal progression, if you're playing a seasonal character, there will be ways to unlock skill points as part of the seasonal progression

00:10:58.519 --> 00:11:03.240
<v Paul>So you can get above your level and skill points by doing those things.

00:11:03.240 --> 00:11:03.880
<v Paul>Yeah, so

00:11:04.120 --> 00:11:06.360
<v Paul>this is a leveling build.

00:11:06.360 --> 00:11:06.839
<v Paul>Okay.

00:11:06.839 --> 00:11:09.959
<v Paul>So what you're gonna want to find is a paladin

00:11:10.880 --> 00:11:12.720
<v Paul>Endgame build.

00:11:12.720 --> 00:11:15.760
<v Drew>Okay, verified builds, custom builds, leveling builds.

00:11:15.760 --> 00:11:16.560
<v Drew>Okay, so

00:11:16.880 --> 00:11:19.920
<v Drew>verified builds, endgame

00:11:20.080 --> 00:11:20.240
<v Drew>,

00:11:21.280 --> 00:11:21.600
<v Drew>uh

00:11:22.320 --> 00:11:22.960
<v Drew>class

00:11:23.120 --> 00:11:24.960
<v Drew>paladin.

00:11:25.680 --> 00:11:30.000
<v Drew>Arbiter hammered in endgame build guide.

00:11:30.000 --> 00:11:30.800
<v Drew>Okay.

00:11:30.800 --> 00:11:31.440
<v Drew>Mm-hmm.

00:11:31.440 --> 00:11:32.160
<v Drew>Interesting.

00:11:32.160 --> 00:11:32.399
<v Drew>Okay.

00:11:32.560 --> 00:11:33.200
<v Drew>So all right.

00:11:33.200 --> 00:11:33.360
<v Drew>So

00:11:33.519 --> 00:11:33.839
<v Drew>okay.

00:11:33.839 --> 00:11:35.680
<v Drew>So I really want to follow this.

00:11:35.680 --> 00:11:36.399
<v Paul>Yeah, yeah.

00:11:36.399 --> 00:11:37.600
<v Paul>And like I said, if uh

00:11:37.700 --> 00:11:39.460
<v Paul>Whether or not you follow

00:11:39.620 --> 00:11:39.940
<v Paul>like

00:11:40.340 --> 00:11:41.540
<v Paul>trying to get those exact

00:11:41.860 --> 00:11:50.260
<v Paul>same pieces of gear, just being able to have someone who did the frickin' math for the fucking paragon board is is really helpful.

00:11:50.260 --> 00:11:50.900
<v Paul>Uh

00:11:51.579 --> 00:11:52.380
<v Drew>Okay, so

00:11:52.540 --> 00:11:53.899
<v Drew>alright, sorry.

00:11:53.899 --> 00:11:59.660
<v Drew>This is probably super boring for everybody else, but like when I click on that build, there is starter, unique, and mythic.

00:11:59.560 --> 00:12:00.280
<v Drew>for the skill tree.

00:12:00.840 --> 00:12:01.400
<v Paul>What's the difference?

00:12:01.640 --> 00:12:03.400
<v Paul>So that's basically going to be

00:12:03.720 --> 00:12:04.200
<v Paul>starter

00:12:04.360 --> 00:12:06.280
<v Paul>is going to be gear that you can find

00:12:06.520 --> 00:12:07.880
<v Paul>while you were leveling, right?

00:12:07.880 --> 00:12:09.800
<v Paul>They're just going to be normal, like

00:12:09.960 --> 00:12:12.440
<v Paul>level 800 gear.

00:12:12.600 --> 00:12:13.080
<v Paul>Uh

00:12:13.320 --> 00:12:17.400
<v Paul>the the second one is when you start getting ancestrals.

00:12:17.400 --> 00:12:21.160
<v Paul>Those are level eight fifty, I think.

00:12:20.880 --> 00:12:21.200
<v Paul>Okay.

00:12:21.200 --> 00:12:22.480
<v Paul>So they're a little bit better.

00:12:22.480 --> 00:12:23.360
<v Paul>Those can

00:12:24.160 --> 00:12:24.800
<v Paul>though m

00:12:25.040 --> 00:12:33.680
<v Paul>ancestrals have a chance to have a greater affix, which is one of those buffs on the gear that is higher than it normally can be.

00:12:33.720 --> 00:12:39.720
<v Paul>Also, a lot of times in that mid-tier, they start pulling in uniques.

00:12:39.720 --> 00:12:40.360
<v Paul>Uh

00:12:42.140 --> 00:12:43.020
<v Paul>Uniques

00:12:43.580 --> 00:12:43.900
<v Paul>are

00:12:44.380 --> 00:12:44.460
<v Paul>the

00:12:44.620 --> 00:12:46.940
<v Paul>there's there's two ways to get uniques.

00:12:46.940 --> 00:12:48.380
<v Paul>One, bosses.

00:12:48.380 --> 00:12:53.820
<v Paul>Bosses always have a chance to drop uniques, and there are certain bosses that drop certain uniques.

00:12:53.839 --> 00:12:58.399
<v Paul>So if you're fine to find if you're trying to get a particular unique, find a recent

00:12:58.560 --> 00:13:01.519
<v Paul>boss farming guide because they change shit around

00:13:01.839 --> 00:13:02.240
<v Paul>a lot.

00:13:02.240 --> 00:13:04.319
<v Paul>So make sure the boss uh has it

00:13:04.459 --> 00:13:08.220
<v Paul>Also, if you've been noticing, you may have been picking up uh

00:13:08.380 --> 00:13:08.620
<v Paul>like

00:13:08.779 --> 00:13:09.980
<v Paul>boss trophies

00:13:10.459 --> 00:13:10.940
<v Paul>in your

00:13:11.100 --> 00:13:11.820
<v Paul>in your inventory.

00:13:11.820 --> 00:13:12.220
<v Paul>It'd be like

00:13:12.620 --> 00:13:14.140
<v Paul>the crafting component.

00:13:14.040 --> 00:13:15.399
<v Paul>If you drop five of the

00:13:15.720 --> 00:13:16.200
<v Paul>God, this

00:13:16.360 --> 00:13:20.200
<v Paul>this I'm sure if people don't like Diablo, this is fucking insufferable.

00:13:20.200 --> 00:13:22.760
<v Drew>Well, this is part of the reason I stay away, right?

00:13:22.760 --> 00:13:23.160
<v Drew>Like there

00:13:23.720 --> 00:13:25.560
<v Drew>'s a lot of depth here.

00:13:25.080 --> 00:13:25.560
<v Paul>Yeah.

00:13:25.560 --> 00:13:28.760
<v Paul>So if you finish the Lord of Hatred, you've unlocked the Haradra

00:13:28.920 --> 00:13:29.480
<v Paul>Cube.

00:13:29.480 --> 00:13:30.040
<v Paul>Yep.

00:13:30.040 --> 00:13:32.040
<v Paul>If you put five of those

00:13:32.280 --> 00:13:34.120
<v Paul>five of the same boss

00:13:34.620 --> 00:13:35.500
<v Paul>boss trophies

00:13:35.660 --> 00:13:40.860
<v Paul>into the Herodra cube, it'll generate a unique that that boss could drop.

00:13:40.860 --> 00:13:41.740
<v Paul>Okay.

00:13:41.740 --> 00:13:41.899
<v Paul>So

00:13:42.060 --> 00:13:43.339
<v Paul>that's that so that that's

00:13:43.500 --> 00:13:43.660
<v Paul>that's

00:13:43.820 --> 00:13:44.380
<v Paul>and that's

00:13:44.540 --> 00:13:45.100
<v Paul>that tier.

00:13:45.100 --> 00:13:47.420
<v Paul>And then the last tier is mythics.

00:13:47.420 --> 00:13:50.940
<v Paul>Mythics are purple gear and they're the highest gear in the game.

00:13:50.940 --> 00:13:51.339
<v Paul>They're

00:13:51.500 --> 00:13:52.140
<v Paul>they're

00:13:52.240 --> 00:13:52.640
<v Paul>rare.

00:13:52.640 --> 00:13:53.520
<v Paul>In fact, I am pissed.

00:13:53.520 --> 00:13:54.320
<v Paul>I have not seen it.

00:13:54.320 --> 00:13:55.440
<v Paul>I've played this game a lot.

00:13:55.440 --> 00:13:57.360
<v Paul>I have yet to see a fucking mythic drop.

00:13:57.360 --> 00:13:58.800
<v Paul>Fuck you, Blizzard.

00:13:58.800 --> 00:14:00.720
<v Paul>Where's my fucking mythic?

00:14:00.720 --> 00:14:01.360
<v Paul>Uh

00:14:02.520 --> 00:14:03.960
<v Paul>Yeah, so that's you know

00:14:04.120 --> 00:14:06.840
<v Paul>the the ever never ending quest for better pants.

00:14:06.840 --> 00:14:07.560
<v Paul>So like

00:14:08.200 --> 00:14:10.920
<v Paul>run the pit to figure out what difficulty you should be on.

00:14:10.920 --> 00:14:11.480
<v Paul>Now granted

00:14:11.640 --> 00:14:12.440
<v Paul>I would say

00:14:13.260 --> 00:14:15.500
<v Paul>Even though you could do torment

00:14:15.740 --> 00:14:18.140
<v Paul>two, but if it's a little bit tough, just do Torment 1

00:14:18.380 --> 00:14:19.740
<v Paul>to you get upgraded.

00:14:19.740 --> 00:14:21.180
<v Paul>Speed is more important

00:14:21.500 --> 00:14:21.820
<v Paul>than

00:14:22.620 --> 00:14:22.860
<v Paul>uh

00:14:23.100 --> 00:14:24.300
<v Paul>difficulty.

00:14:24.420 --> 00:14:24.899
<v Paul>Uh

00:14:25.139 --> 00:14:26.100
<v Paul>and then you just

00:14:26.259 --> 00:14:31.860
<v Paul>as you get gear that you like, uh, you know, use the occultist

00:14:32.019 --> 00:14:34.980
<v Paul>or in the combination of the occultist to in Herodra Cube

00:14:35.220 --> 00:14:35.779
<v Paul>to m like

00:14:35.940 --> 00:14:36.980
<v Paul>get your gear perfect.

00:14:36.980 --> 00:14:37.699
<v Paul>Like there's a one

00:14:37.940 --> 00:14:38.180
<v Paul>affix

00:14:38.339 --> 00:14:38.980
<v Paul>on there like

00:14:39.060 --> 00:14:40.100
<v Paul>Poison resistance.

00:14:40.100 --> 00:14:41.220
<v Paul>I don't fucking need that.

00:14:41.220 --> 00:14:43.700
<v Paul>You can go to the occultist and re-roll that one

00:14:43.860 --> 00:14:44.180
<v Paul>affix

00:14:44.340 --> 00:14:45.940
<v Paul>and get something else.

00:14:45.940 --> 00:14:47.780
<v Paul>Add, you know, add your

00:14:47.940 --> 00:14:48.180
<v Paul>gem

00:14:48.420 --> 00:14:51.380
<v Paul>slots to it at the jeweler, temper it.

00:14:51.360 --> 00:14:53.280
<v Paul>Which is basically adding one more affix

00:14:53.520 --> 00:14:54.160
<v Paul>onto it.

00:14:54.160 --> 00:14:59.040
<v Paul>If you're something, if it's a gear that you're really gonna like, then you want to masterwork it, which is also what the blacksmith

00:14:59.280 --> 00:14:59.840
<v Paul>is basically just

00:15:00.000 --> 00:15:01.680
<v Paul>increases the quality.

00:15:01.660 --> 00:15:02.460
<v Paul>uh which makes it

00:15:02.620 --> 00:15:04.220
<v Paul>means everything a little bit better.

00:15:04.220 --> 00:15:08.220
<v Paul>Once you get to level 25, it basically uh

00:15:08.540 --> 00:15:10.460
<v Paul>greatly enhances a random uh

00:15:10.620 --> 00:15:11.180
<v Paul>affix

00:15:11.340 --> 00:15:12.140
<v Paul>on that.

00:15:12.140 --> 00:15:12.540
<v Paul>gear

00:15:12.700 --> 00:15:13.900
<v Paul>and then the last thing

00:15:14.060 --> 00:15:14.380
<v Paul>I think

00:15:14.540 --> 00:15:15.260
<v Paul>hold on what is it

00:15:15.420 --> 00:15:17.100
<v Paul>is it called Transmogrify

00:15:17.340 --> 00:15:18.140
<v Paul>Diablo

00:15:18.380 --> 00:15:18.620
<v Paul>for

00:15:19.020 --> 00:15:20.700
<v Paul>Trns

00:15:21.260 --> 00:15:22.540
<v Paul>or Transfigure

00:15:23.279 --> 00:15:24.000
<v Paul>Yes.

00:15:24.000 --> 00:15:24.640
<v Paul>So then the

00:15:24.800 --> 00:15:28.240
<v Paul>the very last thing you do to a piece of gear is you go to the Haraja

00:15:28.480 --> 00:15:30.160
<v Paul>Cube and you transfigure it.

00:15:30.160 --> 00:15:31.760
<v Paul>It'll add one more

00:15:32.080 --> 00:15:33.600
<v Paul>really powerful affix

00:15:33.839 --> 00:15:34.560
<v Paul>to it.

00:15:34.440 --> 00:15:36.440
<v Paul>But then the gear cannot be changed.

00:15:36.440 --> 00:15:37.080
<v Paul>It's done.

00:15:37.080 --> 00:15:37.640
<v Paul>It's done.

00:15:37.640 --> 00:15:38.680
<v Paul>It's cooked.

00:15:38.920 --> 00:15:39.480
<v Paul>Okay.

00:15:39.480 --> 00:15:39.800
<v Paul>Right.

00:15:39.800 --> 00:15:40.280
<v Paul>So that's

00:15:40.440 --> 00:15:41.560
<v Paul>kind of the thing.

00:15:41.560 --> 00:15:42.680
<v Paul>Uh, you know

00:15:42.860 --> 00:15:43.660
<v Paul>The nice thing about war

00:15:43.820 --> 00:15:44.060
<v Paul>plans

00:15:44.220 --> 00:15:50.380
<v Paul>is not only are you doing end game activity, but after you finish all of that stuff, it also gives you a nice loot drop

00:15:50.720 --> 00:15:51.040
<v Paul>uh

00:15:51.200 --> 00:15:53.680
<v Paul>at the end, so it's a nice way to get gear

00:15:53.920 --> 00:15:54.240
<v Paul>or

00:15:54.560 --> 00:15:56.320
<v Paul>more likely and often not

00:15:56.480 --> 00:15:59.600
<v Paul>gear that you don't need that you just turn into crafting materials.

00:15:59.600 --> 00:16:00.240
<v Paul>Uh

00:16:00.800 --> 00:16:01.120
<v Paul>but

00:16:02.220 --> 00:16:03.900
<v Paul>Yeah, and then that's the game

00:16:04.060 --> 00:16:07.020
<v Paul>until you decide that you're done, and then you stop playing.

00:16:07.020 --> 00:16:09.580
<v Paul>And then you pick it up next season and do it all over again.

00:16:09.580 --> 00:16:11.660
<v Paul>Or at least that's what I do.

00:16:11.660 --> 00:16:12.460
<v Paul>All right.

00:16:12.460 --> 00:16:14.300
<v Paul>Mm-hmm.

00:16:14.920 --> 00:16:15.480
<v Paul>Yep.

00:16:15.480 --> 00:16:15.960
<v Drew>Huh.

00:16:15.960 --> 00:16:16.280
<v Drew>Alright.

00:16:16.680 --> 00:16:19.480
<v Drew>What do I spend all my massive amounts of gold on?

00:16:19.480 --> 00:16:20.200
<v Paul>Nothing.

00:16:20.200 --> 00:16:20.920
<v Paul>Nothing.

00:16:20.920 --> 00:16:21.560
<v Drew>Okay.

00:16:21.560 --> 00:16:22.200
<v Drew>Nothing.

00:16:22.200 --> 00:16:22.920
<v Paul>I mean, you can

00:16:23.080 --> 00:16:23.320
<v Paul>you

00:16:23.480 --> 00:16:23.800
<v Paul>like

00:16:24.120 --> 00:16:28.920
<v Paul>If you do like re-rolls or things like that, that can cost lots of gold.

00:16:28.920 --> 00:16:29.959
<v Paul>Crafting like

00:16:30.200 --> 00:16:31.000
<v Paul>very high-end

00:16:31.160 --> 00:16:33.080
<v Paul>gems costs lots of gold.

00:16:33.680 --> 00:16:34.000
<v Paul>But

00:16:34.320 --> 00:16:35.200
<v Paul>I have never

00:16:35.360 --> 00:16:36.880
<v Paul>gold has never been the bottleneck.

00:16:36.880 --> 00:16:39.920
<v Paul>It's always been other kind of crafting materials that's been the bottleneck.

00:16:39.920 --> 00:16:40.160
<v Paul>So

00:16:40.400 --> 00:16:41.200
<v Paul>Got it.

00:16:41.200 --> 00:16:42.800
<v Paul>And like I don't sell anything.

00:16:42.800 --> 00:16:43.600
<v Paul>I always

00:16:43.759 --> 00:16:44.399
<v Paul>Excuse me.

00:16:44.399 --> 00:16:44.959
<v Paul>Ooh.

00:16:44.959 --> 00:16:45.199
<v Paul>Uh

00:16:45.519 --> 00:16:45.759
<v Paul>you just

00:16:46.079 --> 00:16:47.040
<v Paul>dissemble it.

00:16:47.040 --> 00:16:47.440
<v Paul>Yeah.

00:16:47.440 --> 00:16:48.399
<v Paul>That's what I do too.

00:16:48.399 --> 00:16:48.959
<v Paul>For materials.

00:16:48.959 --> 00:16:50.560
<v Paul>Yeah, because gold is just like

00:16:50.880 --> 00:16:51.680
<v Paul>everywhere.

00:16:51.680 --> 00:16:54.079
<v Paul>Oh, and if you really do need gold, uh

00:16:54.319 --> 00:16:56.560
<v Paul>have you done like the Infernal Hordes at all?

00:16:56.560 --> 00:16:57.519
<v Paul>Yes.

00:16:57.520 --> 00:17:01.040
<v Paul>One of the chests is like turn all your embers into gold and you just get

00:17:01.280 --> 00:17:05.440
<v Paul>like a shit ton of gold for one run and you're like, I'm good for the next few weeks.

00:17:05.440 --> 00:17:06.959
<v Drew>Thanks.

00:17:06.959 --> 00:17:07.280
<v Drew>Um

00:17:08.500 --> 00:17:10.740
<v Drew>Oh crap, what was I gonna ask you?

00:17:10.740 --> 00:17:11.059
<v Drew>Um

00:17:13.140 --> 00:17:16.419
<v Drew>I seem to remember that you could spend gold to like

00:17:16.579 --> 00:17:18.339
<v Drew>get potion slots and stuff.

00:17:18.339 --> 00:17:19.299
<v Drew>Is that not the thing that's

00:17:19.620 --> 00:17:20.500
<v Paul>that's no longer there?

00:17:20.500 --> 00:17:20.740
<v Paul>Yeah

00:17:21.100 --> 00:17:23.020
<v Paul>Yeah, they change how potions work.

00:17:23.020 --> 00:17:24.699
<v Paul>You get a base of four.

00:17:24.699 --> 00:17:25.339
<v Paul>It always ha

00:17:25.500 --> 00:17:26.459
<v Paul>has like a percentage

00:17:26.620 --> 00:17:26.780
<v Paul>you're

00:17:26.939 --> 00:17:29.980
<v Paul>like they used to have to upgrade your potions and and stuff like that.

00:17:29.980 --> 00:17:31.020
<v Paul>That is gone.

00:17:31.160 --> 00:17:31.480
<v Paul>Okay.

00:17:31.480 --> 00:17:33.720
<v Paul>The only way to get more potion slots is to get

00:17:33.960 --> 00:17:34.040
<v Paul>a

00:17:34.200 --> 00:17:36.440
<v Paul>piece of gear that gives you more potion slots.

00:17:36.440 --> 00:17:37.320
<v Paul>I have seen that.

00:17:37.320 --> 00:17:37.640
<v Paul>Yeah.

00:17:37.640 --> 00:17:39.880
<v Paul>And then some gear will also give you like

00:17:40.080 --> 00:17:40.480
<v Paul>33

00:17:41.040 --> 00:17:41.120
<v Paul>%

00:17:41.520 --> 00:17:43.920
<v Paul>healing received, and that makes your healing potions

00:17:44.080 --> 00:17:45.040
<v Paul>more powerful, but

00:17:45.200 --> 00:17:46.240
<v Paul>yeah.

00:17:46.240 --> 00:17:47.520
<v Paul>Got it.

00:17:47.760 --> 00:17:48.480
<v Drew>Okay.

00:17:48.480 --> 00:17:49.120
<v Drew>All right.

00:17:49.120 --> 00:17:51.840
<v Drew>I mean, look, I know I put playing in pr

00:17:52.000 --> 00:17:52.240
<v Drew>in

00:17:52.400 --> 00:17:53.920
<v Drew>in quotes, but like

00:17:54.519 --> 00:17:55.720
<v Drew>Paladin's fun.

00:17:55.720 --> 00:17:59.639
<v Drew>Like I I like it and I like that I'm now trying to figure out like what to do.

00:17:59.639 --> 00:18:03.320
<v Drew>And I'm just wondering, like, am I gonna have to group with people to make this efficient?

00:18:03.320 --> 00:18:05.000
<v Drew>Can I play it solo?

00:18:05.120 --> 00:18:05.200
<v Drew>The

00:18:05.520 --> 00:18:06.400
<v Paul>only thing

00:18:06.560 --> 00:18:06.800
<v Paul>like

00:18:06.960 --> 00:18:07.120
<v Paul>there

00:18:07.280 --> 00:18:07.360
<v Paul>is

00:18:07.680 --> 00:18:11.120
<v Paul>there is some content, uh, the Dark Citadel

00:18:11.280 --> 00:18:14.240
<v Paul>that requires you to be in a party.

00:18:14.480 --> 00:18:16.000
<v Paul>Uh, the only

00:18:16.320 --> 00:18:16.960
<v Paul>thing

00:18:17.760 --> 00:18:18.400
<v Paul>the only

00:18:18.720 --> 00:18:19.360
<v Paul>activity

00:18:20.000 --> 00:18:20.320
<v Paul>where

00:18:21.120 --> 00:18:21.440
<v Paul>the

00:18:22.760 --> 00:18:27.559
<v Paul>Amount and quality of loot increases based on your party size

00:18:27.799 --> 00:18:29.480
<v Paul>is killing bosses.

00:18:30.039 --> 00:18:30.840
<v Paul>That's it.

00:18:30.840 --> 00:18:32.279
<v Paul>Everything else is

00:18:32.919 --> 00:18:34.600
<v Paul>It doesn't matter whether you're solo

00:18:34.760 --> 00:18:35.080
<v Paul>or

00:18:35.240 --> 00:18:37.400
<v Paul>or in a group, you're gonna get the same chances from

00:18:37.880 --> 00:18:40.600
<v Drew>when you say killing bosses, you mean dungeons, right?

00:18:40.600 --> 00:18:43.080
<v Paul>No, they're separate bosses layers.

00:18:42.840 --> 00:18:43.799
<v Paul>So you're gonna be collect

00:18:43.960 --> 00:18:46.280
<v Paul>you're gonna be collecting boss keys.

00:18:46.280 --> 00:18:47.240
<v Paul>Okay.

00:18:47.240 --> 00:18:47.799
<v Paul>So uh

00:18:47.960 --> 00:18:49.799
<v Paul>if you go on the map, they're the

00:18:49.960 --> 00:18:53.320
<v Paul>they're the thing that they're not dungeons, they're called layers.

00:18:52.960 --> 00:18:53.920
<v Paul>And they'll have like

00:18:54.080 --> 00:18:57.440
<v Paul>the little archway and they have like a little red tree thing in them.

00:18:57.440 --> 00:18:59.360
<v Paul>And each boss, uh

00:18:59.920 --> 00:19:04.480
<v Paul>but it yeah, there's like the the beast in the mountain, or heck, even like you can fight Lilith

00:19:04.720 --> 00:19:05.760
<v Paul>again if you want

00:19:05.740 --> 00:19:07.100
<v Paul>You go there, there's an itty

00:19:07.260 --> 00:19:08.140
<v Paul>bitty little dungeon I

00:19:08.300 --> 00:19:09.500
<v Paul>usually just run past everything.

00:19:09.500 --> 00:19:10.860
<v Paul>Get to the boss.

00:19:10.860 --> 00:19:11.980
<v Paul>Summon the boss.

00:19:11.980 --> 00:19:12.860
<v Paul>Kill the boss.

00:19:12.860 --> 00:19:13.340
<v Paul>Use a

00:19:13.640 --> 00:19:14.280
<v Paul>Boss a layer

00:19:14.440 --> 00:19:19.720
<v Paul>a boss layer key to open up the chest, get the loot, and you can just keep you can repeat that constantly

00:19:19.880 --> 00:19:22.040
<v Paul>if you want to keep farming that boss over and over.

00:19:22.280 --> 00:19:23.640
<v Drew>But you need a key every time, right?

00:19:23.640 --> 00:19:24.040
<v Paul>Yes.

00:19:24.040 --> 00:19:25.400
<v Paul>But keys are pretty plentiful.

00:19:25.400 --> 00:19:25.640
<v Paul>Like

00:19:25.800 --> 00:19:27.400
<v Paul>where do you find them?

00:19:26.960 --> 00:19:27.840
<v Paul>They just drop

00:19:28.000 --> 00:19:28.320
<v Paul>uh

00:19:28.960 --> 00:19:29.360
<v Paul>yeah.

00:19:29.360 --> 00:19:30.400
<v Paul>I don't think I've seen one yet.

00:19:30.640 --> 00:19:31.600
<v Paul>You might, you might, y'all would

00:19:31.760 --> 00:19:32.000
<v Paul>look.

00:19:32.000 --> 00:19:33.200
<v Paul>You probably have some.

00:19:33.200 --> 00:19:33.920
<v Paul>Okay.

00:19:33.920 --> 00:19:34.480
<v Paul>Yeah.

00:19:34.480 --> 00:19:34.960
<v Paul>All right.

00:19:34.960 --> 00:19:36.000
<v Paul>Mm-hmm.

00:19:35.860 --> 00:19:36.179
<v Paul>Cool.

00:19:36.419 --> 00:19:38.580
<v Paul>Yeah, I'm gonna I'm gonna keep I'm gonna keep going with it.

00:19:38.580 --> 00:19:39.220
<v Paul>Mm-hmm.

00:19:39.220 --> 00:19:39.779
<v Paul>Yeah.

00:19:39.779 --> 00:19:40.820
<v Paul>And like if you and if you

00:19:41.059 --> 00:19:45.700
<v Paul>if you look at the seasonal progression, like it'll it'll gently nudge you to things.

00:19:46.100 --> 00:19:47.940
<v Paul>One of the seasonal progression would be like, hey, make

00:19:48.260 --> 00:19:49.539
<v Paul>kill any boss

00:19:49.460 --> 00:19:50.980
<v Paul>and open their chest with the Boski

00:19:51.140 --> 00:19:52.020
<v Paul>at this level difficulty.

00:19:52.180 --> 00:19:52.340
<v Drew>The cap

00:19:52.500 --> 00:19:53.940
<v Drew>the capstone activity, right?

00:19:53.940 --> 00:19:54.100
<v Paul>Yeah.

00:19:54.100 --> 00:19:54.180
<v Paul>And

00:19:54.420 --> 00:19:54.500
<v Paul>what

00:19:54.660 --> 00:19:54.820
<v Paul>not even

00:19:54.980 --> 00:19:56.740
<v Paul>not even the capstone, but like the actual

00:19:56.900 --> 00:19:57.140
<v Paul>like

00:19:57.560 --> 00:19:58.120
<v Paul>Tasks.

00:19:58.280 --> 00:19:58.920
<v Paul>The tasks.

00:20:00.040 --> 00:20:01.640
<v Paul>It'll kind of just gently nudge you to

00:20:01.800 --> 00:20:04.040
<v Paul>like, you should be fighting bosses now.

00:20:04.040 --> 00:20:04.680
<v Paul>Like

00:20:05.240 --> 00:20:05.640
<v Paul>right.

00:20:05.640 --> 00:20:06.440
<v Paul>And and the pr

00:20:06.600 --> 00:20:06.760
<v Paul>the

00:20:06.920 --> 00:20:09.560
<v Paul>you primarily fight bosses to get uniques.

00:20:09.560 --> 00:20:10.520
<v Paul>I mean, yeah

00:20:10.660 --> 00:20:11.140
<v Paul>Yeah.

00:20:11.140 --> 00:20:11.380
<v Paul>Uh

00:20:11.540 --> 00:20:14.900
<v Paul>Infernal Hordes for loot, nightmare dungeons for

00:20:15.300 --> 00:20:15.540
<v Paul>uh

00:20:15.700 --> 00:20:17.780
<v Paul>crafting materials, uh

00:20:18.020 --> 00:20:18.580
<v Paul>Caressed

00:20:18.900 --> 00:20:20.660
<v Paul>Under City when you have to.

00:20:20.700 --> 00:20:21.100
<v Paul>Uh

00:20:21.420 --> 00:20:22.060
<v Paul>and uh

00:20:22.220 --> 00:20:22.940
<v Paul>Helltides

00:20:23.100 --> 00:20:24.220
<v Paul>because they're fun and they give

00:20:24.380 --> 00:20:25.580
<v Paul>we give loot.

00:20:25.580 --> 00:20:26.220
<v Paul>And uh

00:20:26.380 --> 00:20:26.940
<v Paul>the pit

00:20:27.260 --> 00:20:27.580
<v Paul>to

00:20:28.440 --> 00:20:31.639
<v Paul>figure out push difficulty and upgrade glyphs.

00:20:31.639 --> 00:20:32.760
<v Paul>There you go.

00:20:32.760 --> 00:20:33.480
<v Drew>Okay.

00:20:33.480 --> 00:20:33.960
<v Paul>All right.

00:20:34.360 --> 00:20:35.399
<v Paul>See this is why I come to you.

00:20:35.399 --> 00:20:36.600
<v Paul>I would have never figured any of this out.

00:20:36.600 --> 00:20:36.840
<v Paul>Yeah.

00:20:36.840 --> 00:20:38.039
<v Paul>And war plans are great.

00:20:38.039 --> 00:20:41.639
<v Paul>Again, like if you're gonna do that end game activity, you might as well be doing a war plan

00:20:41.840 --> 00:20:43.679
<v Paul>Because at the end you get a nice

00:20:43.840 --> 00:20:44.640
<v Paul>nice drop of

00:20:44.799 --> 00:20:45.200
<v Paul>eight.

00:20:45.200 --> 00:20:45.280
<v Paul>So

00:20:45.600 --> 00:20:47.200
<v Drew>yeah, and a lot of experience too.

00:20:47.200 --> 00:20:47.600
<v Paul>Mm-hmm.

00:20:47.600 --> 00:20:48.000
<v Drew>Yeah.

00:20:48.000 --> 00:20:48.320
<v Drew>Yeah.

00:20:48.320 --> 00:20:48.400
<v Paul>So

00:20:48.720 --> 00:20:51.360
<v Drew>I'm finding that's a really good way to level up my mercenaries.

00:20:51.760 --> 00:20:52.160
<v Paul>Yeah.

00:20:52.160 --> 00:20:52.559
<v Paul>Yeah.

00:20:52.559 --> 00:20:52.960
<v Paul>100

00:20:53.120 --> 00:20:53.840
<v Paul>%.

00:20:53.740 --> 00:20:55.660
<v Paul>And if you ever feel like uh

00:20:55.820 --> 00:20:56.620
<v Paul>rolling an alt

00:20:56.860 --> 00:20:59.340
<v Paul>but you don't want to level it, the trick is

00:20:59.500 --> 00:20:59.820
<v Paul>uh

00:21:00.140 --> 00:21:03.260
<v Paul>you like the tree of whispers and you get those caches.

00:21:03.480 --> 00:21:11.160
<v Paul>Do a bunch of tree of whispers, put the caches in your stash, go to your alt, open those stashes, and you'll be like level 60 and like

00:21:11.800 --> 00:21:12.120
<v Paul>I wonder

00:21:12.440 --> 00:21:16.040
<v Paul>I wonder if there was a way to like just start at level 70.

00:21:15.820 --> 00:21:16.060
<v Paul>Yeah.

00:21:22.540 --> 00:21:22.700
<v Paul>Like

00:21:22.860 --> 00:21:23.340
<v Paul>whisper

00:21:23.500 --> 00:21:24.060
<v Paul>caches

00:21:24.700 --> 00:21:25.820
<v Paul>and you open those with your

00:21:25.980 --> 00:21:26.060
<v Paul>all

00:21:26.460 --> 00:21:26.780
<v Paul>yeah, you

00:21:26.940 --> 00:21:27.260
<v Paul>sits

00:21:27.580 --> 00:21:28.140
<v Paul>ridiculous

00:21:28.740 --> 00:21:29.700
<v Paul>The the whisper

00:21:29.860 --> 00:21:32.980
<v Paul>cache basically like scales to the person who earns it

00:21:33.860 --> 00:21:35.940
<v Paul>but you can open it with another character

00:21:36.100 --> 00:21:36.900
<v Paul>and you just go

00:21:37.060 --> 00:21:37.780
<v Drew>Just go up.

00:21:37.780 --> 00:21:41.460
<v Drew>But you still need to like beat the campaign to unlock the endgame stuff though, right?

00:21:41.460 --> 00:21:41.700
<v Paul>Yeah.

00:21:41.700 --> 00:21:43.940
<v Paul>So once you beat the campaign you can just skip it.

00:21:43.940 --> 00:21:45.380
<v Paul>And you make a character, you can just say

00:21:45.540 --> 00:21:45.620
<v Paul>s

00:21:45.780 --> 00:21:47.380
<v Paul>go right to the endgame.

00:21:46.960 --> 00:21:49.280
<v Drew>Oh, like you beat it on one character and then okay.

00:21:49.520 --> 00:21:50.640
<v Drew>And you're unlocked for the account.

00:21:50.640 --> 00:21:51.040
<v Drew>Yep.

00:21:51.040 --> 00:21:52.560
<v Drew>But you're still at level one.

00:21:52.560 --> 00:21:52.960
<v Drew>Yes.

00:21:53.360 --> 00:21:55.360
<v Paul>So someone can carry you or you can do what you say.

<v Paul>account.

00:22:12.260 --> 00:22:13.299

<v Drew>Yeah.

00:22:44.539 --> 00:22:48.860

<v Paul>Yeah, I kind of just

00:22:49.639 --> 00:22:50.519
<v Paul>I'm I'm really bad

00:22:50.679 --> 00:22:51.639

00:22:51.799 --> 00:22:53.480
<v Paul>brain problem where like I know two

00:22:53.720 --> 00:22:56.360
<v Paul>dates are coming but I don't realize they're the same date and I'm like

00:22:56.519 --> 00:22:56.600
<v Paul>going

00:22:56.760 --> 00:22:57.240
<v Paul>through my calendar

<v Paul>But yeah, I spent Thursday, last Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday

00:23:04.400 --> 00:23:06.160
<v Paul>at Sonic Temple.

00:23:06.160 --> 00:23:06.880
<v Paul>Okay.

00:23:06.880 --> 00:23:07.520
<v Paul>Uh

00:23:08.419 --> 00:23:09.299
<v Paul>It was a good

00:23:09.539 --> 00:23:11.220
<v Paul>it was a good time.

00:23:11.220 --> 00:23:12.660
<v Paul>Just general thoughts.

00:23:12.660 --> 00:23:12.980
<v Paul>Uh

00:23:13.140 --> 00:23:13.220
<v Paul>they

00:23:13.380 --> 00:23:13.539
<v Paul>have

00:23:13.700 --> 00:23:17.460
<v Paul>that that company has no idea how to handle parking.

00:23:17.560 --> 00:23:19.480
<v Paul>in the amount of traffic that comes through.

00:23:19.480 --> 00:23:19.560
<v Paul>So

00:23:19.720 --> 00:23:20.920
<v Paul>they j they just they just don't.

00:23:20.920 --> 00:23:21.320
<v Paul>They don't.

00:23:21.320 --> 00:23:21.400
<v Paul>So

00:23:21.560 --> 00:23:21.880
<v Paul>they don't.

00:23:22.120 --> 00:23:22.200
<v Drew>I

00:23:22.440 --> 00:23:29.800
<v Drew>my TikTok feed, which I get a lot of local Columbus content for some reason, it's mostly just cars crashing into buildings.

00:23:29.460 --> 00:23:29.860
<v Drew>Yeah.

00:23:30.820 --> 00:23:31.060
<v Drew>I get

00:23:31.220 --> 00:23:31.860
<v Drew>yeah, I see this.

00:23:32.100 --> 00:23:35.060
<v Drew>A lot of people were bitching about the traffic.

00:23:35.060 --> 00:23:35.940
<v Paul>Yeah.

00:23:35.940 --> 00:23:36.580
<v Paul>Uh

00:23:37.060 --> 00:23:38.580
<v Paul>The only day that I really

00:23:38.740 --> 00:23:39.940
<v Paul>so this this is what happened.

00:23:40.340 --> 00:23:41.780
<v Paul>Thursday, I was excited.

00:23:41.940 --> 00:23:44.500
<v Paul>There was a band at 12 that I wanted to see.

00:23:44.500 --> 00:23:46.260
<v Paul>So I got, you know, I got to the par

00:23:46.500 --> 00:23:48.100
<v Paul>that they were gonna open up the

00:23:48.640 --> 00:23:50.560
<v Paul>They were opening up an hour early, so like they were

00:23:50.800 --> 00:23:52.000
<v Paul>open up at ten.

00:23:52.000 --> 00:23:52.160
<v Paul>Uh

00:23:52.320 --> 00:23:53.680
<v Paul>the first concert was at twelve.

00:23:53.680 --> 00:23:55.440
<v Paul>I figure, you know what, I'll just get there early.

00:23:55.440 --> 00:24:00.240
<v Paul>I'll go and attend, I'll go around to all the vendors and stuff, I'll get my locker.

00:24:00.060 --> 00:24:01.420
<v Paul>And that's what I did and stuff.

00:24:01.420 --> 00:24:01.500
<v Paul>So

00:24:01.660 --> 00:24:04.460
<v Paul>Monday or Thursday I didn't have any problem.

00:24:04.460 --> 00:24:08.940
<v Paul>Friday, on the other hand, with parking, there was another event.

00:24:09.000 --> 00:24:10.760
<v Paul>happening downtown

00:24:11.000 --> 00:24:12.440
<v Paul>on Friday.

00:24:12.600 --> 00:24:15.000
<v Paul>That was Columbus State's graduation.

00:24:15.000 --> 00:24:16.440
<v Paul>Oh.

00:24:16.440 --> 00:24:17.080
<v Paul>It was

00:24:17.400 --> 00:24:18.600
<v Paul>fucked, Drew.

00:24:18.600 --> 00:24:19.320
<v Paul>This is the day.

00:24:19.400 --> 00:24:20.039
<v Paul>I'll give you the sh

00:24:20.200 --> 00:24:21.240
<v Paul>I'll give you the short

00:24:21.400 --> 00:24:23.559
<v Paul>the short of it.

00:24:22.980 --> 00:24:23.620
<v Paul>Uh

00:24:24.420 --> 00:24:31.700
<v Paul>the the the people at Sonic Temple were very clear in saying if you want to get to parking, you have to get off in 17th and go west

00:24:31.940 --> 00:24:34.260
<v Paul>towards the the stadium.

00:24:34.840 --> 00:24:39.639
<v Paul>Well, that was absolutely fucked, and I could not get over on the seventeen.

00:24:39.639 --> 00:24:41.320
<v Paul>So I thought, you know what

00:24:42.340 --> 00:24:44.100
<v Paul>Columbus is a series of squares.

00:24:44.100 --> 00:24:45.460
<v Paul>I'll go up to Hudson

00:24:45.620 --> 00:24:47.140
<v Paul>and try to get in there.

00:24:47.140 --> 00:24:47.620
<v Paul>Yep.

00:24:47.620 --> 00:24:47.860
<v Paul>Well

00:24:48.020 --> 00:24:52.740
<v Paul>with the graduation and everything, they had literally closed everything down.

00:24:52.620 --> 00:24:52.940
<v Paul>Oh

00:24:53.100 --> 00:24:53.740
<v Paul>no.

00:24:53.740 --> 00:24:57.580
<v Paul>And after about three and a half hours, I gave up.

00:24:57.580 --> 00:24:57.900
<v Paul>You just

00:24:58.060 --> 00:24:58.860
<v Paul>went home.

00:24:58.860 --> 00:25:04.060
<v Paul>I went, I drove, I got back on the freeway, I went south, I had some lunch.

00:25:03.940 --> 00:25:04.740
<v Drew>Oh, okay.

00:25:04.740 --> 00:25:05.059
<v Paul>Okay.

00:25:05.059 --> 00:25:06.019
<v Paul>I'm like, screw it.

00:25:06.019 --> 00:25:06.340
<v Paul>I'm not

00:25:06.500 --> 00:25:06.580
<v Paul>I

00:25:06.740 --> 00:25:06.820
<v Paul>I

00:25:07.139 --> 00:25:07.299
<v Paul>the

00:25:07.539 --> 00:25:10.419
<v Paul>the bands that I missed weren't like must-see bands anyway.

00:25:10.419 --> 00:25:12.179
<v Paul>I would have liked to seen them, but I was like, you know what?

00:25:12.179 --> 00:25:12.899
<v Paul>I just fuck it.

00:25:12.899 --> 00:25:14.179
<v Paul>I'm tired of being in my car.

00:25:14.179 --> 00:25:15.299
<v Paul>I have to pee.

00:25:15.299 --> 00:25:16.580
<v Paul>I am hungry

00:25:17.019 --> 00:25:21.260
<v Paul>So I went and I got some lunch and I just had a nice leisurely lunch.

00:25:21.260 --> 00:25:23.580
<v Paul>And then by the time lunch was over, I was

00:25:23.740 --> 00:25:24.700
<v Paul>I was on the subreddit

00:25:24.860 --> 00:25:26.059
<v Paul>and they're like, yeah, like

00:25:26.279 --> 00:25:27.000
<v Paul>Columbus Strait

00:25:27.159 --> 00:25:28.279
<v Paul>graduation is over.

00:25:28.279 --> 00:25:29.799
<v Paul>Things are getting better.

00:25:30.120 --> 00:25:31.320
<v Paul>I got back in the car.

00:25:31.320 --> 00:25:33.240
<v Paul>It was still a little bit of traffic.

00:25:33.240 --> 00:25:33.880
<v Paul>Uh

00:25:34.760 --> 00:25:35.080
<v Paul>But

00:25:35.559 --> 00:25:37.000
<v Paul>I eventually got there.

00:25:37.000 --> 00:25:38.519
<v Paul>I got to see all the bands I wanted.

00:25:38.519 --> 00:25:41.639
<v Paul>And on Saturday and Sunday, I just left early

00:25:41.700 --> 00:25:45.620
<v Paul>And I sat in the car for like an hour and played my ROG Xbox L

00:25:45.779 --> 00:25:46.179
<v Paul>I X.

00:25:46.179 --> 00:25:47.700
<v Paul>So play a little Halls of Torment

00:25:47.860 --> 00:25:50.740
<v Paul>in my car, uh, listening to music playing Halls of Tor

00:25:50.899 --> 00:25:52.980
<v Paul>Halls of Torment, and then I just got in like, oh

00:25:53.360 --> 00:25:54.480
<v Paul>It's 1215, it's op

00:25:54.720 --> 00:25:56.159
<v Paul>or it's eleven fifteen, it's open now.

00:25:56.159 --> 00:25:57.360
<v Paul>I guess I'll go in.

00:25:57.360 --> 00:25:58.639
<v Paul>And I didn't have to wait in line.

00:25:58.639 --> 00:26:00.320
<v Paul>I just walked right in, got there.

00:26:00.320 --> 00:26:01.519
<v Paul>So that's what I did.

00:26:01.519 --> 00:26:03.679
<v Paul>I just kind of adjusted my schedule

00:26:05.520 --> 00:26:06.320
<v Paul>Okay.

00:26:06.320 --> 00:26:06.720
<v Paul>Uh

00:26:06.960 --> 00:26:07.520
<v Paul>it was a really

00:26:07.679 --> 00:26:07.760
<v Paul>it

00:26:07.919 --> 00:26:08.240
<v Paul>dude but

00:26:08.400 --> 00:26:10.799
<v Paul>the prices were fucking insane.

00:26:10.799 --> 00:26:11.039
<v Paul>Uh

00:26:11.200 --> 00:26:11.280
<v Paul>just

00:26:11.520 --> 00:26:12.160
<v Paul>absolutely

00:26:12.320 --> 00:26:13.600
<v Paul>everything was so expensive.

00:26:13.600 --> 00:26:13.760
<v Paul>Like

00:26:14.000 --> 00:26:14.960
<v Paul>beers were like twenty

00:26:15.120 --> 00:26:15.600
<v Paul>bucks.

00:26:15.600 --> 00:26:17.919
<v Paul>Like for a tall can, but like still

00:26:17.960 --> 00:26:18.280
<v Paul>A can

00:26:18.600 --> 00:26:21.320
<v Paul>a regular old can of soda was five

00:26:21.560 --> 00:26:23.000
<v Paul>dollars.

00:26:23.080 --> 00:26:25.320
<v Paul>Water was like seven, eight bucks.

00:26:25.320 --> 00:26:27.720
<v Paul>It was just absolutely ridiculous.

00:26:30.300 --> 00:26:31.340
<v Paul>But I'll I'll draw uh

00:26:31.500 --> 00:26:33.900
<v Paul>in the instance of time, I will I will keep this brief.

00:26:33.900 --> 00:26:34.940
<v Paul>I will give you

00:26:36.460 --> 00:26:37.500
<v Paul>No, don't be brief.

00:26:38.140 --> 00:26:38.460
<v Paul>I'll give you

00:26:38.620 --> 00:26:41.180
<v Paul>I'll give you three bands each day that I really enjoyed.

00:26:41.180 --> 00:26:41.740
<v Paul>How about that?

00:26:42.140 --> 00:26:42.380
<v Paul>Okay

00:26:44.220 --> 00:26:48.539
<v Paul>On Thursday, the very first band I saw was Necrogoblicon.

00:26:49.900 --> 00:26:51.500
<v Paul>They are a band who

00:26:51.740 --> 00:26:54.780
<v Paul>one of the singers dresses like a goblin.

00:26:54.740 --> 00:26:56.100
<v Paul>And that's their whole shtick.

00:26:56.100 --> 00:26:57.380
<v Paul>That's their whole shtick.

00:26:57.380 --> 00:26:57.780
<v Paul>Uh

00:26:58.020 --> 00:26:58.180
<v Paul>they

00:26:58.420 --> 00:26:59.300
<v Paul>were really fun.

00:26:59.300 --> 00:27:00.660
<v Paul>It was really good.

00:27:00.660 --> 00:27:01.300
<v Paul>Uh

00:27:02.540 --> 00:27:03.580
<v Paul>I would say the

00:27:03.980 --> 00:27:04.300
<v Paul>uh

00:27:04.620 --> 00:27:05.020
<v Paul>the other

00:27:05.340 --> 00:27:07.420
<v Paul>the next highlight for me was cattle decapitation.

00:27:07.420 --> 00:27:08.220
<v Paul>I got to see them again.

00:27:08.220 --> 00:27:08.380
<v Paul>Then

00:27:08.540 --> 00:27:08.780
<v Paul>they only

00:27:08.940 --> 00:27:10.060
<v Paul>had a short set.

00:27:10.060 --> 00:27:12.540
<v Paul>Still a really, really good show.

00:27:12.540 --> 00:27:16.940
<v Paul>And then the highlight of Thursday was Behemoth.

00:27:16.620 --> 00:27:17.420
<v Paul>Ah yes.

00:27:18.140 --> 00:27:18.780
<v Paul>Uh

00:27:19.100 --> 00:27:19.340
<v Paul>I

00:27:19.500 --> 00:27:19.820
<v Paul>m I'm

00:27:20.060 --> 00:27:21.740
<v Paul>I went with my friend Jerry.

00:27:21.740 --> 00:27:21.900
<v Paul>Uh

00:27:22.060 --> 00:27:27.180
<v Paul>we were like maybe three or four people back from the rail for Behemoth.

00:27:27.500 --> 00:27:31.419
<v Paul>That was just an absolutely amazing, amazing experience.

00:27:31.419 --> 00:27:32.940
<v Paul>Did you wear your battle jacket?

00:27:32.940 --> 00:27:33.500
<v Paul>I did not.

00:27:33.500 --> 00:27:34.860
<v Paul>It was too fucking hot for that shit.

00:27:35.020 --> 00:27:35.820
<v Paul>No, no, no.

00:27:36.060 --> 00:27:36.460
<v Paul>No.

00:27:36.460 --> 00:27:36.860
<v Paul>Well actually

00:27:37.020 --> 00:27:38.380
<v Paul>on Thursday and Friday wasn't so bad.

00:27:38.380 --> 00:27:40.540
<v Paul>I was in jeans those days, but I I didn't, yeah, I

00:27:40.780 --> 00:27:41.900
<v Paul>didn't want any extra

00:27:42.060 --> 00:27:43.340
<v Paul>extra weight.

00:27:43.340 --> 00:27:43.980
<v Paul>Uh

00:27:44.220 --> 00:27:46.700
<v Paul>I would say Behemoth was my favorite

00:27:47.120 --> 00:27:48.000
<v Paul>performance of

00:27:48.640 --> 00:27:49.360
<v Paul>the whole thing.

00:27:49.360 --> 00:27:49.680
<v Paul>Yeah.

00:27:49.680 --> 00:27:51.680
<v Paul>Not the best, but my favorite.

00:27:51.680 --> 00:27:52.480
<v Paul>Uh oh.

00:27:53.040 --> 00:27:53.920
<v Paul>Explain the difference

00:27:54.160 --> 00:27:54.800
<v Paul>there.

00:27:54.800 --> 00:27:55.360
<v Paul>Uh

00:27:55.840 --> 00:27:58.000
<v Paul>The band that was my favorite just absolute

00:27:58.400 --> 00:27:59.760
<v Paul>or the band that was the best, just

00:28:00.000 --> 00:28:00.960
<v Paul>they just killed it, just

00:28:01.120 --> 00:28:02.080
<v Paul>crushed it.

00:28:02.080 --> 00:28:04.320
<v Paul>But for me being that close, Behemoth

00:28:04.480 --> 00:28:08.880
<v Paul>being like one of my favorite bands and being that close, I just enjoyed that so much more.

00:28:08.880 --> 00:28:09.760
<v Paul>It was just

00:28:09.660 --> 00:28:11.420
<v Paul>Like it was for me, it was like

00:28:11.740 --> 00:28:12.620
<v Paul>great.

00:28:12.620 --> 00:28:13.340
<v Paul>And then what

00:28:13.500 --> 00:28:14.860
<v Drew>what songs did they play or

00:28:15.020 --> 00:28:16.140
<v Drew>were you happy with the set or

00:28:16.380 --> 00:28:17.100
<v Paul>Yeah, it was good.

00:28:17.100 --> 00:28:18.060
<v Paul>Yeah, it was a good set.

00:28:18.060 --> 00:28:19.180
<v Paul>It was absolutely a good set.

00:28:19.180 --> 00:28:21.260
<v Paul>Yeah, yeah, 100%.

00:28:21.260 --> 00:28:21.900
<v Paul>Uh

00:28:22.840 --> 00:28:23.159
<v Paul>On

00:28:23.799 --> 00:28:25.559
<v Paul>Friday, uh I'm gonna

00:28:25.720 --> 00:28:26.039
<v Paul>I'm gonna

<v Paul>my my three, Static

00:28:27.880 --> 00:28:28.679
<v Paul>X, uh

00:28:28.919 --> 00:28:31.639
<v Paul>got to see them and and the the dude wearing uh

00:28:31.960 --> 00:28:32.040
<v Paul>D

00:28:32.200 --> 00:28:35.240
<v Paul>are you aware what Static X does now that Wayne Static is dead?

00:28:35.240 --> 00:28:35.560
<v Paul>Okay.

00:28:35.560 --> 00:28:35.960
<v Paul>No.

00:28:35.960 --> 00:28:37.800
<v Paul>They got a new singer.

00:28:37.800 --> 00:28:37.960
<v Paul>And

00:28:39.000 --> 00:28:39.720
<v Drew>I need to open this up.

00:28:39.720 --> 00:28:40.920
<v Paul>So Static X.

00:28:40.920 --> 00:28:41.000
<v Paul>He

00:28:41.400 --> 00:28:42.200
<v Paul>so Static X

00:28:42.360 --> 00:28:43.640
<v Paul>was a new metal band

00:28:43.800 --> 00:28:44.120
<v Paul>in

00:28:44.279 --> 00:28:49.000
<v Paul>the 90s two thousand had Wayne Static, the guy with like the the black hair that stood straight up.

00:28:49.000 --> 00:28:49.799
<v Drew>Yeah, I see him.

00:28:49.799 --> 00:28:50.840
<v Drew>He's got a mask on.

00:28:50.840 --> 00:28:51.639
<v Paul>Yeah, so when

00:28:51.799 --> 00:28:53.799
<v Paul>after Wayne Static died, Static

00:28:53.960 --> 00:28:54.120
<v Paul>X

00:28:54.360 --> 00:28:55.399
<v Paul>continued.

00:28:55.100 --> 00:28:57.900
<v Paul>They got a new singer, and that person

00:28:58.140 --> 00:28:59.500
<v Paul>literally wears

00:28:59.660 --> 00:28:59.980
<v Paul>a

00:29:00.220 --> 00:29:00.539
<v Paul>a

00:29:00.780 --> 00:29:01.179
<v Paul>half

00:29:01.340 --> 00:29:01.820
<v Paul>Wayne

00:29:01.980 --> 00:29:02.940
<v Paul>static, half

00:29:03.100 --> 00:29:04.620
<v Paul>robot costume.

00:29:04.360 --> 00:29:04.760
<v Paul>And that's how

00:29:04.919 --> 00:29:05.960
<v Paul>that's how he goes.

00:29:05.960 --> 00:29:07.080
<v Drew>That's what I'm looking at.

00:29:07.080 --> 00:29:09.480
<v Paul>Yeah, so he's a tribute to to Wayne

00:29:09.639 --> 00:29:10.120
<v Paul>Static.

00:29:10.120 --> 00:29:11.639
<v Paul>He doesn't try to be Wayne Static.

00:29:11.639 --> 00:29:12.679
<v Paul>He's like, yeah, like

00:29:13.140 --> 00:29:15.620
<v Paul>Just it's just it's an absolute just tribute to

00:29:15.780 --> 00:29:17.460
<v Paul>to that particular artist and singer.

00:29:17.460 --> 00:29:20.020
<v Drew>Yeah, he's got like a robot mask, it almost like wires of Stanic

00:29:20.340 --> 00:29:20.500
<v Paul>hair.

00:29:20.900 --> 00:29:23.060
<v Paul>Instead of hair, 'cause Wayne Static had that hair.

00:29:23.060 --> 00:29:23.780
<v Paul>Yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:29:23.940 --> 00:29:27.860
<v Paul>But he would do it, he would grow his hair and then he would take black spray paint.

00:29:27.540 --> 00:29:28.820
<v Paul>to keep it standing up.

00:29:28.820 --> 00:29:30.820
<v Paul>That's that's how Wayne Static did it.

00:29:30.820 --> 00:29:31.220
<v Paul>Uh

00:29:31.460 --> 00:29:32.580
<v Paul>but they were really good.

00:29:32.580 --> 00:29:33.220
<v Paul>I I haven't never

00:29:33.380 --> 00:29:34.340
<v Paul>I haven't got to see

00:29:34.740 --> 00:29:37.540
<v Paul>them with this particular singer, so that was good.

00:29:37.800 --> 00:29:38.120
<v Paul>Uh

00:29:38.520 --> 00:29:38.920
<v Paul>I didn't know

00:29:39.560 --> 00:29:40.200
<v Drew>when Static died.

00:29:40.200 --> 00:29:40.680
<v Drew>When did Static

00:29:41.160 --> 00:29:42.200
<v Paul>A while ago, yeah.

00:29:42.200 --> 00:29:42.680
<v Paul>Okay.

00:29:42.680 --> 00:29:42.920
<v Paul>Seven

00:29:43.080 --> 00:29:43.240
<v Paul>Dust

00:29:43.560 --> 00:29:44.840
<v Paul>I finally got to see Seven

00:29:45.000 --> 00:29:46.280
<v Paul>Dust.

00:29:46.519 --> 00:29:47.480
<v Paul>Uh-huh.

00:29:47.480 --> 00:29:50.039
<v Paul>They are so good, Drew.

00:29:50.039 --> 00:29:50.279
<v Paul>So

00:29:50.600 --> 00:29:51.320
<v Paul>good.

00:29:51.399 --> 00:29:51.799
<v Paul>Like

00:29:52.039 --> 00:29:55.000
<v Paul>the good crowd presence that get the crowd going, lots of

00:29:55.159 --> 00:29:56.760
<v Paul>lots of crowd surfers.

00:29:56.760 --> 00:29:57.000
<v Paul>Like

00:29:57.159 --> 00:29:59.320
<v Paul>it was just an excellent show.

00:29:59.220 --> 00:29:59.540
<v Paul>Uh

00:29:59.860 --> 00:30:00.260
<v Paul>Seven

00:30:00.420 --> 00:30:00.900
<v Paul>Dust.

00:30:00.900 --> 00:30:01.140
<v Paul>Okay.

00:30:02.420 --> 00:30:06.420
<v Paul>Seven Dust gets radio play, so you you probably have heard some of their songs before.

00:30:07.519 --> 00:30:09.600
<v Paul>But the highlight, the best

00:30:09.919 --> 00:30:11.760
<v Paul>performance of the show

00:30:11.919 --> 00:30:13.120
<v Paul>was Lorna Shore

00:30:13.279 --> 00:30:14.240
<v Paul>on Friday night.

00:30:14.240 --> 00:30:17.840
<v Drew>That's the one you were really raving about when you first said you were gonna go.

00:30:17.840 --> 00:30:18.559
<v Paul>Yes, yeah.

00:30:18.559 --> 00:30:18.639
<v Paul>So

00:30:18.880 --> 00:30:19.840
<v Paul>it was good?

00:30:19.560 --> 00:30:25.720
<v Paul>Will Ramos, the lead singer for my money, is the best extreme vocalist out there, period.

00:30:25.720 --> 00:30:30.280
<v Paul>I do not know how that man makes the noises that comes out of his face.

00:30:30.840 --> 00:30:33.000
<v Paul>It is it is absolutely

00:30:33.840 --> 00:30:34.799
<v Paul>bonkers.

00:30:34.799 --> 00:30:36.320
<v Paul>But they they had about an hour long

00:30:36.559 --> 00:30:36.880
<v Paul>set.

00:30:36.880 --> 00:30:38.400
<v Paul>They they crushed it.

00:30:38.400 --> 00:30:38.640
<v Paul>It just

00:30:38.880 --> 00:30:39.120
<v Paul>just

00:30:39.440 --> 00:30:40.720
<v Paul>banger after banger.

00:30:40.720 --> 00:30:41.840
<v Paul>They had good like

00:30:42.320 --> 00:30:42.560
<v Paul>Um

00:30:42.720 --> 00:30:43.280
<v Paul>like the

00:30:43.440 --> 00:30:44.960
<v Paul>they had a video playing behind them.

00:30:44.960 --> 00:30:45.840
<v Paul>It was really good.

00:30:45.840 --> 00:30:47.600
<v Paul>Like it was just absolutely

00:30:47.840 --> 00:30:50.160
<v Drew>they're coming to Mansfield, Ohio in July.

00:30:50.160 --> 00:30:50.480
<v Paul>Yeah,

00:30:50.720 --> 00:30:52.560
<v Paul>to incarceration, yeah, I think.

00:30:52.560 --> 00:30:53.600
<v Paul>Yeah.

00:30:54.060 --> 00:30:56.540
<v Paul>Saturday was my day that I was short because I spent so

00:30:56.700 --> 00:30:57.660
<v Paul>long time in the car.

00:30:57.660 --> 00:31:00.540
<v Paul>Honestly, Saturday was probably the worst day.

00:31:00.540 --> 00:31:01.980
<v Paul>I'm just gonna skip right.

00:31:01.980 --> 00:31:04.060
<v Paul>I'm just gonna pull one artist for this

00:31:04.760 --> 00:31:07.240
<v Paul>Marilyn Manson.

00:31:07.240 --> 00:31:08.840
<v Paul>Ha.

00:31:08.840 --> 00:31:09.159
<v Paul>So

00:31:09.960 --> 00:31:10.919
<v Paul>apparently.

00:31:10.919 --> 00:31:11.159
<v Paul>No,

00:31:11.320 --> 00:31:14.279
<v Paul>granted, Marilyn Manson is still a piece of shit.

00:31:15.580 --> 00:31:17.260
<v Paul>Let's just all put that aside.

00:31:17.580 --> 00:31:19.260
<v Paul>He's a piece of shit.

00:31:19.260 --> 00:31:20.300
<v Paul>Okay.

00:31:21.260 --> 00:31:23.660
<v Paul>Abusive, not good, whatever.

00:31:23.660 --> 00:31:24.620
<v Paul>Whatever you want to think.

00:31:24.940 --> 00:31:25.980
<v Paul>He's probably a piece of shit.

00:31:26.139 --> 00:31:27.179
<v Paul>I don't know him personally.

00:31:28.220 --> 00:31:30.940
<v Paul>I don't know him personally, but he's probably a piece of shit.

00:31:30.940 --> 00:31:31.179
<v Paul>But

00:31:31.340 --> 00:31:33.340
<v Paul>he's gotten clean.

00:31:35.060 --> 00:31:35.380
<v Paul>And

00:31:35.540 --> 00:31:37.460
<v Paul>let me tell you, a clean Marilyn

00:31:37.620 --> 00:31:38.900
<v Paul>Manson knows how to fuck

00:31:39.060 --> 00:31:40.660
<v Paul>put on a fucking show.

00:31:40.660 --> 00:31:41.380
<v Paul>Okay, do

00:31:41.540 --> 00:31:42.020
<v Paul>so.

00:31:42.260 --> 00:31:42.660
<v Paul>At at

00:31:43.140 --> 00:31:45.540
<v Paul>his heart, he is a performer.

00:31:45.260 --> 00:31:45.740
<v Paul>Okay.

00:31:45.740 --> 00:31:46.140
<v Paul>He was

00:31:46.299 --> 00:31:47.580
<v Paul>he knew exactly

00:31:47.740 --> 00:31:47.980
<v Paul>like

00:31:48.140 --> 00:31:49.580
<v Paul>he's got some new albums.

00:31:49.580 --> 00:31:54.380
<v Paul>He played played like one song from his new stuff, and then it was just banger after banger

00:31:54.620 --> 00:31:54.860
<v Paul>hit

00:31:55.100 --> 00:31:56.620
<v Paul>single after single

00:31:57.440 --> 00:31:59.200
<v Paul>The musicianship was really good.

00:31:59.200 --> 00:32:01.279
<v Paul>He had a really good stage presence.

00:32:01.279 --> 00:32:03.440
<v Paul>His voice sounded great.

00:32:03.440 --> 00:32:04.399
<v Paul>It he was

00:32:04.880 --> 00:32:07.200
<v Paul>he did a really, really good job.

00:32:07.200 --> 00:32:09.519
<v Paul>I really enjoyed that show.

00:32:10.100 --> 00:32:14.900
<v Paul>Now the downside of Saturday is during that time I hurt my back.

00:32:14.900 --> 00:32:15.140
<v Paul>Oh

00:32:15.380 --> 00:32:15.940
<v Paul>no.

00:32:15.940 --> 00:32:16.419
<v Paul>Yeah.

00:32:16.419 --> 00:32:17.539
<v Paul>Were you in a pit

00:32:17.800 --> 00:32:18.040
<v Paul>I was

00:32:18.200 --> 00:32:20.040
<v Paul>watched Pit a Jason a few times.

00:32:20.280 --> 00:32:20.600
<v Paul>Uh

00:32:20.760 --> 00:32:25.800
<v Paul>I do not know how I hurt my back, but actually the only thing that made it really feel good on Saturday

00:32:25.960 --> 00:32:26.360
<v Paul>was uh

00:32:26.520 --> 00:32:27.880
<v Paul>Saturday at Maryland Manson

00:32:28.040 --> 00:32:32.200
<v Paul>was a very active pit, lots of crowd surfers, and it turned out that motion

00:32:32.260 --> 00:32:32.340
<v Paul>of

00:32:32.580 --> 00:32:33.620
<v Paul>helping people

00:32:33.940 --> 00:32:37.299
<v Paul>off of the ground to crowd surf really helped my back.

00:32:37.299 --> 00:32:37.460
<v Paul>So

00:32:37.620 --> 00:32:37.860
<v Paul>when I

00:32:38.580 --> 00:32:43.460
<v Paul>yeah so when I left Saturday I was cautiously optimistic my back was feeling good.

00:32:45.440 --> 00:32:45.760
<v Paul>But

00:32:46.000 --> 00:32:47.520
<v Paul>Sunday came along

00:32:47.760 --> 00:32:48.720
<v Paul>and it was

00:32:49.040 --> 00:32:50.320
<v Paul>really, really hurting.

00:32:50.320 --> 00:32:52.720
<v Paul>So much that I actually left early

00:32:52.740 --> 00:32:56.020
<v Paul>I did not stay for Tool, which I've heard that I did not miss much.

00:32:56.020 --> 00:32:56.340
<v Paul>Apparently

00:32:56.500 --> 00:32:59.620
<v Paul>Maynard wasn't feeling it and he didn't play like any hard songs.

00:32:59.620 --> 00:33:00.660
<v Paul>It was all melodic stuff.

00:33:00.660 --> 00:33:02.180
<v Paul>So apparently I did not miss much.

00:33:02.180 --> 00:33:02.660
<v Paul>Okay.

00:33:02.660 --> 00:33:04.100
<v Paul>But I did leave.

00:33:04.120 --> 00:33:04.440
<v Paul>Uh

00:33:04.680 --> 00:33:04.920
<v Paul>but

00:33:05.080 --> 00:33:06.440
<v Paul>I will pull the thr the three

00:33:06.680 --> 00:33:08.760
<v Paul>the three best bands that I saw.

00:33:08.760 --> 00:33:11.480
<v Paul>First thing I saw on Sunday was Castle Rat

00:33:11.919 --> 00:33:12.720
<v Paul>Okay.

00:33:12.960 --> 00:33:14.000
<v Paul>Castle Red.

00:33:14.000 --> 00:33:14.400
<v Paul>Castle.

00:33:14.480 --> 00:33:14.799
<v Paul>Okay.

00:33:14.799 --> 00:33:15.200
<v Paul>So this is

00:33:15.440 --> 00:33:17.760
<v Paul>Castle Rat is not my style of metal.

00:33:17.760 --> 00:33:18.720
<v Paul>It is very like

00:33:18.880 --> 00:33:20.960
<v Paul>power metal, very melodic.

00:33:20.960 --> 00:33:22.400
<v Paul>But what Castle Rat

00:33:22.640 --> 00:33:23.840
<v Paul>is, is imagine

00:33:24.480 --> 00:33:24.800
<v Paul>your

00:33:25.120 --> 00:33:25.440
<v Paul>most

00:33:25.760 --> 00:33:27.600
<v Paul>dysfunctional DD

00:33:27.840 --> 00:33:28.400
<v Paul>party

00:33:28.919 --> 00:33:30.760
<v Paul>becomes a metal band.

00:33:30.760 --> 00:33:31.400
<v Paul>Okay?

00:33:31.400 --> 00:33:31.880
<v Paul>Okay.

00:33:31.880 --> 00:33:34.600
<v Paul>They're all dressed up in fantasy characters.

00:33:34.600 --> 00:33:38.520
<v Paul>They have a little story that they tell while they perform.

00:33:38.520 --> 00:33:41.320
<v Paul>There's battles with swords.

00:33:41.140 --> 00:33:41.460
<v Paul>Uh

00:33:41.620 --> 00:33:42.340
<v Paul>and it doesn't

00:33:42.820 --> 00:33:44.900
<v Paul>hurt that the lead singer isn't that is you know not hard to

00:33:45.060 --> 00:33:45.060
<v Paul>do.

00:33:48.740 --> 00:33:49.140
<v Paul>Uh-huh.

00:33:49.140 --> 00:33:49.540
<v Paul>Yeah.

00:33:50.020 --> 00:33:51.380
<v Paul>Yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:33:51.440 --> 00:33:51.600
<v Paul>So

00:33:51.760 --> 00:33:53.279
<v Paul>that that was Castle Rat.

00:33:53.519 --> 00:33:54.399
<v Paul>It was a short set, but it was

00:33:54.880 --> 00:33:54.960
<v Paul>people

<v Paul>They were on the the main stage.

00:34:05.400 --> 00:34:05.960
<v Paul>In fact, that was

00:34:06.200 --> 00:34:06.920
<v Paul>Avatar

<v Paul>And then my back hurt and then I went home.

00:34:54.779 --> 00:34:55.099
<v Paul>So

00:34:55.419 --> 00:34:55.579

<v Drew>is your back feeling now?

00:34:57.260 --> 00:34:59.980
<v Paul>It's not a hundred percent, but it's much, much better.

00:34:59.980 --> 00:35:00.940
<v Paul>Yeah.

00:35:00.940 --> 00:35:01.819

<v Paul>like

00:35:10.140 --> 00:35:11.180
<v Paul>right in front of me.

00:35:11.180 --> 00:35:19.900
<v Paul>Someone got pushed and everything kind of came back and I went like this with my hands and it all the weight hit my left hand or like it was my left side of my back that was hurting.

00:35:19.900 --> 00:35:20.860
<v Paul>And I and that happened.

00:35:20.860 --> 00:35:21.420

<v Paul>This is bad.

00:35:25.580 --> 00:35:26.860
<v Paul>This is real bad.

00:35:26.860 --> 00:35:27.100

00:37:19.160 --> 00:37:19.560
<v Paul>Yeah.

00:37:19.560 --> 00:37:21.960
<v Paul>So what they're saying is the concert's two sets.

00:37:21.960 --> 00:37:22.600
<v Paul>The first

00:37:22.840 --> 00:37:23.160
<v Paul>is

00:37:23.560 --> 00:37:24.520
<v Paul>a tribute to Mer

00:37:24.840 --> 00:37:26.600
<v Paul>Melancholy and Infinite Sadness.

00:37:26.600 --> 00:37:28.200
<v Paul>And then the second set is

00:37:28.680 --> 00:37:29.800
<v Paul>the rest of their disog

00:37:30.040 --> 00:37:30.840
<v Paul>discography.

00:37:30.840 --> 00:37:31.000
<v Paul>So

00:37:31.320 --> 00:37:32.520
<v Paul>That's in September.

00:37:32.520 --> 00:37:33.960
<v Paul>Mm-hmm.

00:37:33.960 --> 00:37:34.599
<v Drew>Let me see.

00:37:34.599 --> 00:37:35.559
<v Drew>Let's see what tickets are

00:37:35.720 --> 00:37:36.680
<v Drew>going for.

00:37:36.680 --> 00:37:37.880
<v Paul>Yeah.

00:37:37.880 --> 00:37:38.200
<v Paul>I

00:37:38.599 --> 00:37:38.760
<v Paul>the

00:37:38.920 --> 00:37:40.119
<v Paul>tickets I got

00:37:40.279 --> 00:37:40.599
<v Paul>so I

00:37:40.839 --> 00:37:40.920
<v Paul>I

00:37:41.720 --> 00:37:46.599
<v Paul>Managed to get on in the Verizon presale, so I actually got them like a day early.

00:37:46.599 --> 00:37:46.920
<v Paul>Uh

00:37:47.079 --> 00:37:47.400
<v Paul>I think

00:37:48.039 --> 00:37:49.640
<v Paul>where are your seats?

00:37:49.640 --> 00:37:50.279
<v Paul>I am

00:37:50.599 --> 00:37:50.920
<v Paul>in

00:37:51.559 --> 00:37:53.079
<v Paul>section 123

00:37:53.319 --> 00:37:53.640
<v Paul>row

00:37:53.880 --> 00:37:54.760
<v Paul>L.

00:37:55.420 --> 00:37:57.180
<v Drew>Okay, so you're you're to the right of

00:37:57.420 --> 00:37:59.180
<v Drew>you're to the stage left.

00:38:01.420 --> 00:38:03.260
<v Drew>Wow, those are expensive.

00:38:03.260 --> 00:38:04.540
<v Paul>Yeah, I think we ended up spent

00:38:04.780 --> 00:38:05.820
<v Paul>our tickets like

00:38:06.140 --> 00:38:07.020
<v Paul>with fees

00:38:07.180 --> 00:38:07.820
<v Paul>were about two

00:38:07.980 --> 00:38:09.180
<v Paul>hundred bucks a piece.

00:38:10.260 --> 00:38:11.380
<v Paul>But I mean that's

00:38:11.700 --> 00:38:11.780
<v Paul>Or

00:38:12.020 --> 00:38:12.980
<v Drew>Selena's Cove

00:38:13.140 --> 00:38:13.940
<v Drew>experience.

00:38:13.940 --> 00:38:15.620
<v Paul>Yeah, you can get all kinds of like

00:38:15.780 --> 00:38:19.220
<v Paul>upgrades and shit, and my daughter's like, no, I just want to go see them.

00:38:19.220 --> 00:38:19.540
<v Paul>So

00:38:19.920 --> 00:38:20.240
<v Paul>Uh

00:38:20.480 --> 00:38:20.640
<v Paul>which

00:38:20.800 --> 00:38:23.280
<v Paul>the Smashing Pumpkins are her favorite band

00:38:23.600 --> 00:38:26.320
<v Paul>and I enjoyed them very much when I was her age as well.

00:38:26.320 --> 00:38:27.440
<v Paul>So it's gonna be a nice band.

00:38:27.600 --> 00:38:27.920
<v Drew>I liked

00:38:28.080 --> 00:38:30.240
<v Drew>I you know, I wasn't super into

00:38:30.480 --> 00:38:31.360
<v Drew>music.

00:38:31.320 --> 00:38:31.480
<v Drew>Um

00:38:31.720 --> 00:38:35.400
<v Drew>until like my late teenage years, but I was a Smashing Pumpkins fan.

00:38:35.400 --> 00:38:35.960
<v Paul>Yeah.

00:38:35.960 --> 00:38:36.440
<v Paul>Yeah.

00:38:36.680 --> 00:38:41.880
<v Paul>I'm not familiar with like their most recent stuff, so I might have to dig d dive back in, but

00:38:41.900 --> 00:38:47.740
<v Paul>I pretty much dropped out after Adore, I believe, uh, which is the album after melancholy.

00:38:47.740 --> 00:38:48.380
<v Paul>Uh

00:38:48.940 --> 00:38:49.260
<v Paul>but

00:38:49.940 --> 00:38:50.660
<v Drew>I'll see.

00:38:50.660 --> 00:38:52.500
<v Drew>I'll see if Mandy wants to go to that.

00:38:52.500 --> 00:38:53.460
<v Paul>Yeah, so yeah.

00:38:53.460 --> 00:38:55.140
<v Paul>My daughter and I are going to that.

00:38:55.220 --> 00:38:57.300
<v Paul>That's in September, I believe, so.

00:38:57.300 --> 00:38:57.859
<v Paul>Huh.

00:38:58.020 --> 00:38:58.500
<v Paul>Yeah.

00:38:58.500 --> 00:38:59.140
<v Paul>Okay.

00:38:59.700 --> 00:39:00.579
<v Drew>Very cool man.

00:39:00.579 --> 00:39:02.819
<v Drew>Well I'm glad you had a good time, and I'm glad you didn't like

00:39:02.980 --> 00:39:03.700
<v Drew>die or like

00:39:03.940 --> 00:39:04.260
<v Drew>didn't

00:39:04.579 --> 00:39:04.980
<v Paul>die.

00:39:04.980 --> 00:39:05.299
<v Paul>Didn't die

00:39:05.779 --> 00:39:07.539
<v Paul>not die.

00:39:07.539 --> 00:39:08.819
<v Drew>Alright.

00:39:08.819 --> 00:39:09.140
<v Drew>So

00:39:09.779 --> 00:39:10.099
<v Drew>um

00:39:11.400 --> 00:39:15.080
<v Drew>Paul, I'm too scared to develop a drug habit at my age.

00:39:15.640 --> 00:39:17.240
<v Paul>Fair, fair.

00:39:17.240 --> 00:39:23.240
<v Drew>Um, so I'm always looking for new ways to occupy my time and keep my mind engaged.

00:39:24.240 --> 00:39:24.560
<v Drew>Um

00:39:24.720 --> 00:39:24.880
<v Drew>now

00:39:25.040 --> 00:39:30.240
<v Drew>I'm a man of many peculiar and expensive hobbies, as you know.

00:39:30.240 --> 00:39:30.560
<v Drew>Um

00:39:31.040 --> 00:39:33.120
<v Drew>and I still do those things.

00:39:33.680 --> 00:39:33.920
<v Drew>Um

00:39:34.080 --> 00:39:37.440
<v Drew>but I'm always looking for something new and exciting.

00:39:37.440 --> 00:39:37.760
<v Drew>So

00:39:38.440 --> 00:39:42.280
<v Drew>When I bought my 3D printer, one of my things was

00:39:42.440 --> 00:39:45.400
<v Drew>I really want to make something on this that

00:39:45.720 --> 00:39:47.320
<v Drew>is interesting.

00:39:47.320 --> 00:39:47.640
<v Drew>And

00:39:48.520 --> 00:39:48.840
<v Drew>uh

00:39:49.160 --> 00:39:49.800
<v Drew>something

00:39:49.960 --> 00:39:52.680
<v Drew>that I can make that is durable

00:39:53.000 --> 00:39:53.320
<v Drew>and

00:39:54.200 --> 00:39:54.440
<v Drew>not

00:39:54.600 --> 00:40:00.280
<v Drew>necessarily resellable, but something that I could make and personalize and give as gifts.

00:40:00.480 --> 00:40:01.840
<v Drew>Okay.

00:40:01.840 --> 00:40:02.160
<v Drew>So

00:40:02.400 --> 00:40:07.360
<v Drew>what I've been doing over like the past month is I have been trying to make

00:40:07.600 --> 00:40:08.800
<v Drew>molds.

00:40:09.480 --> 00:40:10.840
<v Drew>Okay.

00:40:11.160 --> 00:40:13.560
<v Drew>Now, I want you to imagine

00:40:14.280 --> 00:40:15.480
<v Drew>a cube.

00:40:15.480 --> 00:40:15.960
<v Drew>Okay.

00:40:15.960 --> 00:40:16.280
<v Drew>Okay, just

00:40:16.440 --> 00:40:16.760
<v Drew>imagine

00:40:16.920 --> 00:40:18.040
<v Drew>imagine a cube, like

00:40:17.980 --> 00:40:18.059
<v Drew>Go

00:40:18.299 --> 00:40:19.339
<v Drew>yeah, okay, yeah, there you go.

00:40:19.339 --> 00:40:19.900
<v Drew>That's a cube.

00:40:19.900 --> 00:40:20.619
<v Drew>Yep, that's a cube.

00:40:20.619 --> 00:40:21.420
<v Drew>That's very cubish.

00:40:21.579 --> 00:40:23.500
<v Drew>For those of you who are listening, it's a Rubik's cube.

00:40:23.500 --> 00:40:26.220
<v Drew>Yeah, so hold hold that up to the camera for a second, right?

00:40:26.619 --> 00:40:26.940
<v Drew>So

00:40:27.440 --> 00:40:29.359
<v Drew>I could 3D print that.

00:40:29.359 --> 00:40:29.839
<v Drew>Yeah.

00:40:29.839 --> 00:40:30.160
<v Drew>Right?

00:40:30.160 --> 00:40:32.079
<v Drew>I could 3D print a cube.

00:40:33.040 --> 00:40:33.359
<v Drew>But

00:40:34.000 --> 00:40:34.320
<v Drew>I'm

00:40:34.480 --> 00:40:35.119
<v Drew>beholden to

00:40:35.359 --> 00:40:36.480
<v Drew>you can put the cube down.

00:40:36.780 --> 00:40:37.100
<v Drew>Um

00:40:38.140 --> 00:40:40.620
<v Drew>I'm beholden to the materials

00:40:41.100 --> 00:40:42.620
<v Drew>that I print the cube on.

00:40:42.620 --> 00:40:43.900
<v Drew>And they're plastic.

00:40:43.900 --> 00:40:44.940
<v Drew>Yes.

00:40:44.940 --> 00:40:45.260
<v Drew>Um

00:40:45.500 --> 00:40:49.260
<v Drew>so for example, if I wanted to make that a paperweight

00:40:49.799 --> 00:40:52.359
<v Drew>I would want to make it out of something heavier.

00:40:52.359 --> 00:40:52.760
<v Drew>Heavy.

00:40:52.760 --> 00:40:53.160
<v Drew>Yeah.

00:40:53.160 --> 00:40:53.480
<v Drew>Okay.

00:40:53.799 --> 00:40:56.599
<v Drew>Metal, stone, something like that.

00:40:56.839 --> 00:41:00.760
<v Drew>So the idea is you print something on your 3D printer.

00:41:00.760 --> 00:41:01.160
<v Drew>Okay.

00:41:01.319 --> 00:41:03.960
<v Drew>And then you build a bigger cube.

00:41:04.420 --> 00:41:04.980
<v Drew>Okay.

00:41:04.980 --> 00:41:05.380
<v Drew>Okay.

00:41:05.700 --> 00:41:07.859
<v Drew>That you seal up with hot

00:41:08.020 --> 00:41:09.220
<v Drew>glue, painter

00:41:09.380 --> 00:41:12.339
<v Drew>'s tape, clips, something.

00:41:12.440 --> 00:41:17.640
<v Drew>You set the smaller cube in the bigger cube, and then you mix yourself up some silicone rubber.

00:41:17.640 --> 00:41:18.200
<v Drew>Okay.

00:41:18.200 --> 00:41:18.760
<v Drew>Okay.

00:41:18.760 --> 00:41:19.000
<v Drew>So

00:41:19.320 --> 00:41:23.800
<v Drew>for those of you that don't know, like you can go to like any art supply store, you can go to Beesbo's place

00:41:23.960 --> 00:41:25.079
<v Drew>and you could buy

00:41:25.320 --> 00:41:27.400
<v Drew>What is essentially a two-part

00:41:27.640 --> 00:41:31.640
<v Drew>silicone mix where you have a base and an accelerant.

00:41:31.640 --> 00:41:33.880
<v Drew>You mix them one for one.

00:41:33.859 --> 00:41:35.859
<v Drew>You kind of sort around a little bit, right?

00:41:35.859 --> 00:41:38.020
<v Drew>You try to get all the bubbles out of it.

00:41:38.020 --> 00:41:38.339
<v Drew>And

00:41:38.660 --> 00:41:38.980
<v Drew>that

00:41:39.300 --> 00:41:39.619
<v Drew>is

00:41:40.020 --> 00:41:40.180
<v Drew>who

00:41:40.660 --> 00:41:41.380
<v Drew>hmm.

00:41:41.380 --> 00:41:41.940
<v Drew>Bubbles.

00:41:42.260 --> 00:41:43.619
<v Paul>Are bubbles a problem, Drew?

00:41:43.619 --> 00:41:44.740
<v Drew>Bubbles are a problem

00:41:44.900 --> 00:41:48.660
<v Drew>because you want to make sure that it's a uniform consistency.

00:41:48.599 --> 00:41:55.560
<v Drew>So what you're doing is you're pouring that in there, and it forms around the smaller cube.

00:41:55.560 --> 00:42:01.480
<v Drew>And after it finishes mixing, it turns into solid rubber

00:42:01.500 --> 00:42:01.980
<v Drew>Okay.

00:42:01.980 --> 00:42:02.940
<v Drew>That you can then like

00:42:03.180 --> 00:42:07.580
<v Drew>peel off of the other cube, and you are left with a form

00:42:08.220 --> 00:42:08.940
<v Drew>that you could then

00:42:09.340 --> 00:42:09.420
<v Drew>make

00:42:09.580 --> 00:42:10.140
<v Drew>cubes.

00:42:10.140 --> 00:42:13.260
<v Drew>You could make cubes out of other things.

00:42:13.120 --> 00:42:13.680
<v Drew>Okay.

00:42:13.680 --> 00:42:15.360
<v Drew>Now that is the simplest

00:42:15.520 --> 00:42:16.320
<v Drew>example.

00:42:16.320 --> 00:42:16.800
<v Drew>Okay.

00:42:16.800 --> 00:42:18.800
<v Drew>Okay.

00:42:18.800 --> 00:42:21.680
<v Drew>Now, when you're working in 3D space

00:42:22.400 --> 00:42:24.800
<v Drew>What do you do about negative space?

00:42:24.800 --> 00:42:27.840
<v Drew>What if you wanted a hole in that cube?

00:42:28.160 --> 00:42:29.600
<v Paul>I don't know.

00:42:29.600 --> 00:42:31.920
<v Paul>How would you do that, Drew?

00:42:33.600 --> 00:42:35.440
<v Drew>Spurts my brain a little bit.

00:42:36.320 --> 00:42:36.640
<v Drew>So

00:42:36.800 --> 00:42:43.760
<v Drew>what you need to do is you need to print out the shape that you ultimately want to have.

00:42:43.740 --> 00:42:46.620
<v Drew>And then you need to print out other pieces

00:42:46.940 --> 00:42:48.780
<v Drew>of a contraption

00:42:49.340 --> 00:42:50.380
<v Drew>that can like

00:42:50.700 --> 00:42:54.460
<v Drew>insert another piece inside of that and hold it there.

00:42:54.460 --> 00:42:59.100
<v Drew>So that if you're pouring silicone rubber into it, it forms around the shape

00:42:59.260 --> 00:43:04.620
<v Drew>plus the cutout, leaving a space for you to then make something else out of, right?

00:43:05.839 --> 00:43:09.760
<v Drew>Suffice to say, what I have been making

00:43:10.720 --> 00:43:12.240
<v Drew>are candles.

00:43:12.240 --> 00:43:12.560
<v Drew>Oh

00:43:12.720 --> 00:43:13.359
<v Drew>wow

00:43:13.920 --> 00:43:14.880
<v Drew>Okay, so

00:43:15.120 --> 00:43:16.720
<v Drew>for those of you who can't see,

00:43:17.280 --> 00:43:18.960
<v Drew>uh, what this is, is

00:43:19.120 --> 00:43:19.600
<v Drew>what I did

00:43:19.760 --> 00:43:22.960
<v Drew>is I printed this bowl shape in my 3D printer.

00:43:22.960 --> 00:43:23.280
<v Drew>Okay?

00:43:23.280 --> 00:43:23.680
<v Drew>Uh-huh.

00:43:23.920 --> 00:43:24.640
<v Drew>Right?

00:43:25.539 --> 00:43:28.020
<v Drew>I then built a form around it.

00:43:28.020 --> 00:43:31.619
<v Drew>So basically it's like kind of like a cylinder inside of another cylinder

00:43:31.940 --> 00:43:33.619
<v Drew>where this sits at the bottom.

00:43:33.300 --> 00:43:37.620
<v Drew>And I actually have to put a screw through the bottom, because you know what plastic loves to do in silicone?

00:43:37.620 --> 00:43:38.340
<v Drew>Float.

00:43:38.340 --> 00:43:39.380
<v Drew>Float.

00:43:40.180 --> 00:43:40.580
<v Drew>Okay.

00:43:40.980 --> 00:43:41.380
<v Drew>So you have to

00:43:41.700 --> 00:43:42.820
<v Drew>put it put a screw through the bottom.

00:43:42.980 --> 00:43:43.700
<v Drew>I'm learning things.

00:43:43.700 --> 00:43:44.020
<v Drew>Yeah.

00:43:44.020 --> 00:43:44.580
<v Drew>Right?

00:43:44.540 --> 00:43:46.540
<v Drew>And then you have to put like

00:43:47.420 --> 00:43:53.100
<v Drew>on top of the cylinder, you need to print like a smaller insert that goes inside of here.

00:43:53.340 --> 00:43:54.300
<v Drew>So like when you're

00:43:54.460 --> 00:43:56.860
<v Drew>when you're pouring in the silicone mold

00:43:57.140 --> 00:44:04.020
<v Drew>You're basically pouring everything so that this shape is what you're pouring the next casting material into.

00:44:04.020 --> 00:44:04.260
<v Drew>Okay.

00:44:04.420 --> 00:44:04.980
<v Drew>Okay.

00:44:04.980 --> 00:44:06.900
<v Drew>So a lot of trial and error.

00:44:06.820 --> 00:44:09.300
<v Drew>And I can also do words.

00:44:10.100 --> 00:44:10.420
<v Drew>Right?

00:44:11.060 --> 00:44:13.780
<v Drew>I can do words, right, that are indented

00:44:14.020 --> 00:44:15.700
<v Drew>into that, into the mold.

00:44:15.700 --> 00:44:16.660
<v Paul>Okay.

00:44:16.799 --> 00:44:17.039
<v Drew>So

00:44:17.279 --> 00:44:17.839
<v Drew>then you

00:44:18.160 --> 00:44:18.400
<v Drew>so

00:44:18.640 --> 00:44:19.279
<v Drew>that took

00:44:19.440 --> 00:44:21.039
<v Drew>like two weeks of

00:44:21.599 --> 00:44:23.520
<v Drew>making a big ol' mess

00:44:24.559 --> 00:44:24.880
<v Drew>because

00:44:25.279 --> 00:44:25.599
<v Drew>uh

00:44:26.340 --> 00:44:26.580
<v Drew>Uh

00:44:26.740 --> 00:44:27.940
<v Drew>silicone is thicker than

00:44:28.260 --> 00:44:33.620
<v Drew>like your silicone mix is thicker than water, but any small crevice or crack in your

00:44:33.860 --> 00:44:34.180
<v Drew>form

00:44:35.339 --> 00:44:35.420
<v Drew>Uh

00:44:35.579 --> 00:44:35.900
<v Drew>life

00:44:36.060 --> 00:44:38.700
<v Drew>life uh finds a way, as they say.

00:44:38.700 --> 00:44:40.780
<v Drew>That goop that goop goes everywhere.

00:44:40.780 --> 00:44:44.700
<v Drew>Now the good news is once it's dry, it's really easy to peel off of stuff.

00:44:44.700 --> 00:44:44.859
<v Drew>Uh

00:44:45.099 --> 00:44:46.619
<v Drew>but it is sticky.

00:44:46.619 --> 00:44:47.099
<v Drew>Okay.

00:44:48.280 --> 00:44:48.520
<v Drew>Uh

00:44:48.760 --> 00:44:49.000
<v Drew>so

00:44:49.160 --> 00:44:52.600
<v Drew>that took about two solid weeks worth of fucking her out.

00:44:52.600 --> 00:44:52.840
<v Drew>Now

00:44:53.480 --> 00:44:55.080
<v Drew>I have a silicone mold.

00:44:55.080 --> 00:44:57.480
<v Drew>So the question is, what do I make this out of?

00:44:57.480 --> 00:44:57.640
<v Drew>Now

00:44:57.880 --> 00:44:58.600
<v Drew>this.

00:45:00.140 --> 00:45:01.740
<v Drew>Is a stone like material.

00:45:01.740 --> 00:45:04.300
<v Drew>Now I have experimented with different materials.

00:45:04.300 --> 00:45:04.780
<v Drew>Okay.

00:45:04.780 --> 00:45:05.740
<v Drew>I originally

00:45:05.980 --> 00:45:12.860
<v Drew>like I I was being served content where what people like to do is you find like a very, very coarse

00:45:13.220 --> 00:45:13.619
<v Drew>cement

00:45:13.940 --> 00:45:14.500
<v Drew>mix

00:45:15.220 --> 00:45:17.220
<v Drew>and you add some aggregate to it

00:45:17.460 --> 00:45:22.740
<v Drew>you kind of dice it up and you can add pigments of like iron oxide to it and everything

00:45:22.900 --> 00:45:25.299
<v Drew>to basically make this out of concrete

00:45:25.799 --> 00:45:31.160
<v Drew>Um, I experimented with that, but I did not have a good time for two main reasons.

00:45:31.160 --> 00:45:36.520
<v Drew>One, I tried several different recipes to get the right consistency.

00:45:36.720 --> 00:45:38.400
<v Drew>I could not get a good

00:45:38.559 --> 00:45:39.520
<v Drew>smooth finish

00:45:39.760 --> 00:45:42.960
<v Drew>and even the ones that I did, concrete

00:45:43.119 --> 00:45:44.960
<v Drew>evanescences.

00:45:45.800 --> 00:45:50.280
<v Drew>If you've ever been in a basement of a house with concrete block, like

00:45:50.440 --> 00:45:51.320
<v Drew>cinder block,

00:45:51.720 --> 00:45:54.440
<v Drew>you know how that white dust kind of forms on it?

00:45:54.440 --> 00:45:54.760
<v Paul>Yeah

00:45:54.880 --> 00:45:55.120
<v Drew>Yeah.

00:45:55.120 --> 00:45:56.400
<v Drew>That's what that is, right?

00:45:56.400 --> 00:45:56.880
<v Drew>As the f

00:45:57.120 --> 00:45:57.200
<v Drew>because

00:45:57.360 --> 00:46:01.120
<v Drew>like concrete takes a really long time to to cure.

00:46:01.120 --> 00:46:01.360
<v Drew>Or

00:46:01.600 --> 00:46:02.000
<v Drew>cement

00:46:02.160 --> 00:46:03.760
<v Drew>takes a long time to cure, right?

00:46:03.760 --> 00:46:07.200
<v Drew>Concrete is a ingredient in cement, one or the other.

00:46:07.200 --> 00:46:10.640
<v Drew>But as it but as it dries out, that stuff sort of

00:46:10.880 --> 00:46:11.120
<v Drew>like

00:46:11.440 --> 00:46:13.200
<v Drew>evaporates out of it.

00:46:13.200 --> 00:46:14.560
<v Drew>So like I would have to like

00:46:14.720 --> 00:46:18.720
<v Drew>make it and then like brush it off a bunch of times until it was like eventually like all four.

00:46:20.040 --> 00:46:21.960
<v Paul>completely cure so it stops doing that.

00:46:21.960 --> 00:46:22.600
<v Paul>So yeah.

00:46:22.600 --> 00:46:23.000
<v Paul>Yeah.

00:46:23.000 --> 00:46:23.320
<v Paul>Which

00:46:24.120 --> 00:46:24.280
<v Paul>a l

00:46:24.440 --> 00:46:24.600
<v Paul>yeah

00:46:24.760 --> 00:46:25.320
<v Drew>a lot more.

00:46:25.560 --> 00:46:26.520
<v Drew>Now you can get

00:46:26.680 --> 00:46:29.320
<v Drew>you can get incredible detail with it with the right

00:46:29.560 --> 00:46:32.120
<v Drew>VIX, but I was not successful with that.

00:46:32.440 --> 00:46:32.599
<v Drew>So

00:46:32.760 --> 00:46:35.320
<v Drew>what I found after doing some research

00:46:35.640 --> 00:46:37.960
<v Drew>was this.

00:46:37.960 --> 00:46:41.560
<v Drew>It is a compound called Jasmineite

00:46:42.539 --> 00:46:43.980
<v Paul>Jasmineite.

00:46:43.980 --> 00:46:44.779
<v Paul>Yep.

00:46:45.819 --> 00:46:46.140
<v Drew>So

00:46:46.460 --> 00:46:46.700
<v Drew>uh

00:46:46.859 --> 00:46:54.460
<v Drew>if you go to that website and you go to products, you're gonna want to go to products and then AC100.

00:46:54.580 --> 00:46:55.620
<v Paul>Okay.

00:46:55.620 --> 00:46:56.100
<v Paul>Okay.

00:46:56.260 --> 00:46:56.980
<v Paul>Okay.

00:46:56.980 --> 00:46:58.740
<v Paul>Big big old tub.

00:46:59.140 --> 00:47:00.420
<v Drew>Water-based eco

00:47:00.660 --> 00:47:01.460
<v Paul>resin.

00:47:01.460 --> 00:47:03.780
<v Drew>So it's technically a resin

00:47:03.940 --> 00:47:04.339
<v Drew>Okay.

00:47:04.579 --> 00:47:07.540
<v Drew>But it doesn't feel plastically like resin.

00:47:07.540 --> 00:47:08.820
<v Drew>It feels like stone.

00:47:08.820 --> 00:47:09.220
<v Drew>Okay.

00:47:09.220 --> 00:47:10.020
<v Drew>So it's a two-part

00:47:10.180 --> 00:47:10.579
<v Drew>mix.

00:47:10.579 --> 00:47:14.900
<v Drew>You buy you buy the liquid and then you buy what's called the base.

00:47:15.220 --> 00:47:17.059
<v Drew>And it's not very expensive.

00:47:17.059 --> 00:47:18.980
<v Drew>Like you can get a kilogram

00:47:19.140 --> 00:47:20.020
<v Drew>of the base

00:47:20.579 --> 00:47:24.260
<v Drew>and four hundred grams of the liquid by volume.

00:47:24.620 --> 00:47:26.300
<v Drew>For about fifteen bucks.

00:47:26.300 --> 00:47:27.420
<v Drew>Oh, that's yeah, that's

00:47:27.900 --> 00:47:27.980
<v Drew>not

00:47:28.140 --> 00:47:28.700
<v Drew>bad at all.

00:47:28.700 --> 00:47:28.940
<v Drew>Okay.

00:47:29.980 --> 00:47:30.220
<v Drew>Now

00:47:30.380 --> 00:47:31.420
<v Drew>you need a lot of it.

00:47:31.420 --> 00:47:33.420
<v Drew>So like to make one of these

00:47:33.720 --> 00:47:34.359
<v Drew>I need

00:47:34.680 --> 00:47:37.160
<v Drew>about 50 grams of liquid

00:47:37.400 --> 00:47:39.559
<v Drew>and the ratio is two and a half to one.

00:47:39.559 --> 00:47:41.559
<v Drew>So you need 40 grams of

00:47:42.120 --> 00:47:42.680
<v Drew>The base

00:47:43.160 --> 00:47:43.720
<v Drew>liquid

00:47:43.880 --> 00:47:45.000
<v Drew>and then you need

00:47:45.160 --> 00:47:45.400
<v Drew>uh

00:47:45.560 --> 00:47:46.520
<v Drew>80 and then

00:47:46.760 --> 00:47:48.040
<v Drew>yeah, a hundred grams of

00:47:48.280 --> 00:47:49.720
<v Drew>yep, yeah, your math is good

00:47:50.860 --> 00:47:51.500
<v Paul>I do a lot of coffee

00:47:51.660 --> 00:47:53.740
<v Paul>ratio, so that kind of math goes pretty quick.

00:47:53.740 --> 00:47:54.300
<v Drew>Yeah.

00:47:54.300 --> 00:47:54.620
<v Drew>Yeah.

00:47:54.620 --> 00:47:56.540
<v Drew>So yeah, I'm speaking your language.

00:47:57.340 --> 00:47:57.580
<v Drew>So

00:47:57.820 --> 00:47:58.140
<v Drew>then

00:47:59.020 --> 00:48:01.020
<v Drew>you mix all that up.

00:48:01.160 --> 00:48:01.480
<v Drew>And

00:48:01.640 --> 00:48:01.960
<v Drew>um

00:48:02.120 --> 00:48:03.720
<v Drew>you can add dyes to it.

00:48:03.720 --> 00:48:05.960
<v Drew>And like the dyes are where this stuff gets expensive.

00:48:05.960 --> 00:48:09.080
<v Drew>If you buy like a little jar of dye, it is like 30 bucks.

00:48:09.040 --> 00:48:11.280
<v Drew>But you only need like one or two drops to color.

00:48:11.280 --> 00:48:14.080
<v Drew>So like for example, I made this one red for Databricks.

00:48:14.160 --> 00:48:16.000
<v Drew>Oh wow, that's really red too.

00:48:16.000 --> 00:48:16.720
<v Drew>Very red.

00:48:16.720 --> 00:48:17.600
<v Drew>Very red.

00:48:17.600 --> 00:48:18.240
<v Drew>Very red.

00:48:18.240 --> 00:48:19.360
<v Drew>But like Databricks red.

00:48:19.360 --> 00:48:20.240
<v Drew>See Databricks logo.

00:48:20.240 --> 00:48:20.720
<v Drew>Yeah, I was gonna say

00:48:20.880 --> 00:48:22.560
<v Paul>that's a Databricks logo on there, isn't it?

00:48:22.640 --> 00:48:22.880
<v Paul>Yeah.

00:48:22.880 --> 00:48:23.520
<v Drew>Yeah.

00:48:23.380 --> 00:48:23.620
<v Drew>Yeah.

00:48:28.100 --> 00:48:28.340
<v Drew>I

00:48:28.500 --> 00:48:30.020
<v Drew>you know, I give and I give and I give.

00:48:30.020 --> 00:48:31.380
<v Drew>They can let me have this one.

00:48:31.380 --> 00:48:31.940
<v Drew>Yeah.

00:48:33.940 --> 00:48:34.900
<v Drew>So anyway.

00:48:34.900 --> 00:48:35.220
<v Drew>Um

00:48:35.940 --> 00:48:38.260
<v Drew>Yeah, so like you that's the stuff you can do, right?

00:48:38.260 --> 00:48:38.660
<v Drew>Okay.

00:48:38.660 --> 00:48:38.900
<v Drew>Um

00:48:39.140 --> 00:48:44.500
<v Drew>so then like then what I had to do is figure out like okay, I want to try to perfect this because like it took a couple

00:48:44.660 --> 00:48:44.740
<v Drew>like

00:48:44.900 --> 00:48:47.220
<v Drew>fucking around to like get it and everything.

00:48:47.380 --> 00:48:47.700
<v Drew>Um

00:48:48.339 --> 00:48:49.779
<v Drew>then it became like you know

00:48:50.020 --> 00:48:54.579
<v Drew>perfecting the ratio to get the right amount so you're not wasting material, uh

00:48:54.740 --> 00:48:56.020
<v Drew>finding out the right color

00:48:56.180 --> 00:49:00.740
<v Drew>dye mix and how many drops and you know what color do you want this to be.

00:49:01.440 --> 00:49:01.760
<v Drew>Um

00:49:02.240 --> 00:49:02.480
<v Drew>but

00:49:02.720 --> 00:49:04.800
<v Drew>to take a quick deviation, like

00:49:05.120 --> 00:49:07.440
<v Drew>again, removing bubbles is key

00:49:07.680 --> 00:49:12.880
<v Drew>because what you don't want is you don't want to take it out of your mold and figure out that you had like a little air pocket right here.

00:49:12.960 --> 00:49:14.160
<v Drew>There's a big divot in it.

00:49:14.160 --> 00:49:14.640
<v Paul>Right.

00:49:14.640 --> 00:49:14.960
<v Paul>Oh

00:49:15.200 --> 00:49:15.840
<v Paul>yeah.

00:49:15.840 --> 00:49:16.880
<v Paul>Okay, that makes sense.

00:49:17.120 --> 00:49:17.200
<v Drew>So

00:49:17.360 --> 00:49:20.720
<v Drew>that's when I went and bought a vacuum chamber.

00:49:23.760 --> 00:49:24.000
<v Drew>Uh

00:49:24.240 --> 00:49:25.360
<v Paul>okay.

00:49:25.360 --> 00:49:25.680
<v Paul>Uh uh

00:49:25.920 --> 00:49:26.080
<v Paul>that

00:49:26.240 --> 00:49:28.240
<v Paul>that's one way of doing it, yeah.

00:49:28.240 --> 00:49:29.760
<v Paul>Yeah.

00:49:29.760 --> 00:49:29.920
<v Paul>So

00:49:30.080 --> 00:49:30.640
<v Paul>okay.

00:49:30.720 --> 00:49:33.120
<v Paul>I mean we do like we do like our gear.

00:49:33.120 --> 00:49:34.960
<v Paul>We do.

00:49:34.960 --> 00:49:35.280
<v Paul>Oh

00:49:36.400 --> 00:49:36.560
<v Paul>So

00:49:36.720 --> 00:49:38.560
<v Drew>how big is the vacuum chamber?

00:49:38.560 --> 00:49:38.720
<v Drew>Um

00:49:38.880 --> 00:49:40.160
<v Drew>pulling it up right now.

00:49:40.160 --> 00:49:41.520
<v Drew>Okay, okay.

00:49:41.520 --> 00:49:41.760
<v Drew>So

00:49:41.920 --> 00:49:43.520
<v Drew>what I bought, oh

00:49:43.760 --> 00:49:46.640
<v Drew>come on, stupid Amazon.

00:49:47.039 --> 00:49:47.359
<v Drew>So

00:49:47.520 --> 00:49:48.079
<v Drew>I don't

00:49:48.400 --> 00:49:50.480
<v Drew>I've only used this for the Jesmondite

00:49:50.640 --> 00:49:54.319
<v Drew>mix once, but I typically do this when I'm making a new mold.

00:49:55.820 --> 00:49:56.140
<v Drew>So

00:49:56.300 --> 00:49:57.820
<v Drew>this is the Bacco

00:49:57.980 --> 00:49:58.220
<v Drew>Eng

00:49:58.380 --> 00:50:02.140
<v Drew>three gallon tempered glass vacuum chamber.

00:50:02.140 --> 00:50:03.900
<v Paul>It's not as expensive as I thought it was

00:50:04.060 --> 00:50:05.100
<v Paul>gonna be.

00:50:04.840 --> 00:50:05.000
<v Drew>Uh

00:50:05.160 --> 00:50:07.960
<v Drew>I cheaped out on this because they can be a lot more.

00:50:07.960 --> 00:50:08.360
<v Drew>Okay.

00:50:08.360 --> 00:50:10.840
<v Drew>But this holds three gallons and like you don't put the

00:50:11.000 --> 00:50:12.440
<v Drew>you don't put the material directly in it.

00:50:12.440 --> 00:50:16.040
<v Drew>You put the you put the material in something, then you set it in there,

00:50:16.440 --> 00:50:19.560
<v Drew>then you hook up the pump that takes oil.

00:50:19.599 --> 00:50:19.839
<v Drew>uh

00:50:20.079 --> 00:50:28.720
<v Drew>in the hose and you close the valves and you turn it on and you basically watch the material kind of rise up so you kinda have to like off on

00:50:28.880 --> 00:50:29.119
<v Drew>off

00:50:29.440 --> 00:50:29.920
<v Drew>On.

00:50:29.920 --> 00:50:30.480
<v Drew>Off.

00:50:30.480 --> 00:50:30.880
<v Drew>On.

00:50:30.880 --> 00:50:31.040
<v Drew>Okay.

00:50:31.200 --> 00:50:31.440
<v Drew>Right.

00:50:31.440 --> 00:50:32.800
<v Drew>Because you don't want it to overflow.

00:50:32.800 --> 00:50:34.960
<v Drew>Because what you're what it's basically doing is it's like

00:50:35.119 --> 00:50:38.960
<v Drew>sucking all the air out of it, but also pulling it out of whatever you have it in.

00:50:38.960 --> 00:50:39.200
<v Drew>Yeah.

00:50:39.520 --> 00:50:40.320
<v Paul>Yeah.

00:50:40.320 --> 00:50:40.480
<v Drew>Um

00:50:40.640 --> 00:50:40.800
<v Drew>not

00:50:40.960 --> 00:50:42.560
<v Drew>gonna lie, it's a little scary.

00:50:42.560 --> 00:50:44.800
<v Drew>Um it's not a ton of pressure, but like

00:50:45.200 --> 00:50:49.600
<v Drew>when I initially hooked it up, I was like, I should probably go get some goggles.

00:50:50.560 --> 00:50:51.280
<v Drew>Yeah.

00:50:51.280 --> 00:50:51.840
<v Drew>Yeah.

00:50:51.840 --> 00:50:51.920
<v Drew>I

00:50:52.160 --> 00:50:52.240
<v Paul>can

00:50:52.400 --> 00:50:52.560
<v Paul>'t

00:50:52.720 --> 00:50:53.120
<v Paul>yeah.

00:50:53.920 --> 00:50:55.280
<v Paul>Things under pressure can

00:50:55.440 --> 00:50:56.160
<v Paul>explode.

00:50:56.160 --> 00:50:56.480
<v Drew>Yeah.

00:50:56.720 --> 00:50:59.440
<v Drew>And like that lid, by the way, does not clamp

00:50:59.600 --> 00:51:00.080
<v Drew>onto that sil

00:51:00.400 --> 00:51:01.440
<v Drew>onto that tub.

00:51:01.440 --> 00:51:03.040
<v Paul>It just sits there.

00:51:04.000 --> 00:51:06.480
<v Paul>So I guess it uses the vacuum itself to keep

00:51:06.640 --> 00:51:07.119
<v Paul>keep on.

00:51:07.359 --> 00:51:07.760
<v Drew>Yes.

00:51:07.760 --> 00:51:16.240
<v Drew>That yellow, or sorry, that orange ring around it is like a giant gasket that just kind of sits on top of that thing.

00:51:16.760 --> 00:51:19.079
<v Drew>So like if you ever ding that thing or like

00:51:19.240 --> 00:51:20.760
<v Drew>chip it, you're you're done.

00:51:20.760 --> 00:51:21.320
<v Drew>You're fucked.

00:51:21.320 --> 00:51:21.880
<v Drew>You're done.

00:51:21.880 --> 00:51:23.079
<v Drew>You're never going to use it again.

00:51:23.079 --> 00:51:23.560
<v Drew>Yeah.

00:51:23.560 --> 00:51:23.800
<v Drew>So

00:51:23.960 --> 00:51:27.960
<v Drew>yeah, I I ended up getting one of those to sort of do that work.

00:51:27.620 --> 00:51:28.260
<v Drew>Okay, so

00:51:28.660 --> 00:51:31.620
<v Drew>how how do you pronounce this brand name, Bacon?

00:51:31.780 --> 00:51:32.660
<v Drew>Baconj.

00:51:32.740 --> 00:51:33.860
<v Drew>Baconj.

00:51:33.860 --> 00:51:34.100
<v Drew>Bacon

00:51:34.260 --> 00:51:34.980
<v Drew>Baconang

00:51:35.240 --> 00:51:36.440
<v Drew>Bacon and eggs.

00:51:36.440 --> 00:51:37.080
<v Drew>I don't know.

00:51:37.080 --> 00:51:37.640
<v Drew>Like

00:51:38.360 --> 00:51:38.840
<v Drew>Yeah.

00:51:42.940 --> 00:51:43.339
<v Drew>A decent

00:51:43.660 --> 00:51:44.220
<v Drew>review

00:51:44.460 --> 00:51:45.980
<v Drew>and wasn't gonna cost me an arm

00:51:46.140 --> 00:51:48.380
<v Drew>out of leg because I wasn't sure how much I was gonna use it and

00:51:48.780 --> 00:51:48.859
<v Paul>how

00:51:49.020 --> 00:51:50.859
<v Paul>much noise does that pump make

00:51:50.920 --> 00:51:51.640
<v Drew>Not a lot.

00:51:51.640 --> 00:51:52.200
<v Paul>Okay.

00:51:52.200 --> 00:51:52.600
<v Drew>Yeah.

00:51:52.760 --> 00:51:53.240
<v Drew>Because I

00:51:53.400 --> 00:51:54.120
<v Drew>here's the thing.

00:51:54.120 --> 00:51:55.960
<v Drew>I'm only really taking it up.

00:52:04.680 --> 00:52:09.480
<v Drew>It's it's just like you turn it on a little bit, you let some air bubble up, you turn it off, you let it go back down.

00:52:09.480 --> 00:52:09.880
<v Drew>Turn it up

00:52:10.040 --> 00:52:13.320
<v Drew>on and then like when you when it's not rising and falling anymore, you're done.

00:52:13.340 --> 00:52:19.820
<v Drew>So then you pull it out, then you pull it out and you have to pour it like really slowly to not introduce more error whenever you're pouring it into the mold.

00:52:19.820 --> 00:52:20.140
<v Drew>So

00:52:20.540 --> 00:52:21.740
<v Drew>it's a little bit of a

00:52:22.240 --> 00:52:23.760
<v Drew>A little bit of a skill issue, right?

00:52:23.760 --> 00:52:25.520
<v Drew>Like you kind of have to like figure it out.

00:52:25.520 --> 00:52:26.000
<v Drew>Okay.

00:52:26.000 --> 00:52:26.240
<v Drew>Okay.

00:52:26.240 --> 00:52:26.800
<v Drew>Okay.

00:52:26.800 --> 00:52:27.120
<v Drew>So

00:52:27.440 --> 00:52:27.760
<v Drew>now

00:52:27.920 --> 00:52:28.720
<v Drew>I've got

00:52:28.880 --> 00:52:30.000
<v Drew>I've got this, right?

00:52:30.000 --> 00:52:31.120
<v Drew>I could sand this.

00:52:31.120 --> 00:52:33.200
<v Drew>I could paint this if I want to.

00:52:33.200 --> 00:52:33.360
<v Drew>Um

00:52:33.600 --> 00:52:34.480
<v Drew>you can add like

00:52:34.640 --> 00:52:35.680
<v Drew>matte or glossy

00:52:35.859 --> 00:52:38.900
<v Drew>finishing stuff to it like this has like a matte finish on it so yeah

00:52:39.140 --> 00:52:43.700
<v Drew>this is the natural color like if you don't do any coloring it's kind of like an off-white which kind of looks decent right

00:52:44.099 --> 00:52:45.220
<v Paul>looks nice yeah

00:52:45.520 --> 00:52:46.320
<v Drew>So then I was like

00:52:46.640 --> 00:52:46.720
<v Drew>,

00:52:47.200 --> 00:52:48.320
<v Paul>really sharp though, I have to admit.

00:52:48.320 --> 00:52:49.920
<v Paul>Like that looks real freaking sharp.

00:52:49.920 --> 00:52:50.240
<v Drew>Yeah.

00:52:50.240 --> 00:52:52.560
<v Drew>I made some I made some gray ones today that I'm waiting to

00:52:52.720 --> 00:52:53.040
<v Drew>wait to

00:52:53.200 --> 00:52:54.000
<v Drew>harden it up back there.

00:52:54.000 --> 00:52:55.280
<v Drew>And by the way, this Jesmite

00:52:55.440 --> 00:52:56.640
<v Drew>stuff sets really fast.

00:52:56.640 --> 00:52:57.119
<v Drew>Like

00:52:57.320 --> 00:52:58.520
<v Drew>You only get like

00:52:58.920 --> 00:52:59.400
<v Drew>twenty

00:52:59.560 --> 00:53:02.200
<v Drew>minutes of working time with it and then it starts to set up.

00:53:02.200 --> 00:53:03.000
<v Drew>Oh wow.

00:53:03.000 --> 00:53:03.080
<v Drew>Um

00:53:03.480 --> 00:53:03.720
<v Drew>but

00:53:03.880 --> 00:53:06.360
<v Drew>the curing time is only like three hours

00:53:06.540 --> 00:53:06.860
<v Drew>Okay.

00:53:06.860 --> 00:53:09.580
<v Drew>So like I can yank it out of that mold and start working on it.

00:53:09.580 --> 00:53:09.820
<v Drew>Um

00:53:09.980 --> 00:53:11.740
<v Drew>I did buy a respirator uh

00:53:11.900 --> 00:53:14.300
<v Drew>because I do not want resin in my lungs.

00:53:14.300 --> 00:53:14.460
<v Drew>Um

00:53:14.860 --> 00:53:15.500
<v Drew>good call.

00:53:15.500 --> 00:53:16.860
<v Drew>Especially if I'm sanding it, right?

00:53:17.180 --> 00:53:17.580
<v Paul>So I have a

00:53:17.740 --> 00:53:21.100
<v Drew>I have a little respirator in there too, so that was an expensive thing.

00:53:20.859 --> 00:53:22.380
<v Drew>So then it became time to

00:53:22.540 --> 00:53:25.099
<v Drew>it's time to make this a candle.

00:53:25.099 --> 00:53:25.660
<v Paul>Okay.

00:53:25.660 --> 00:53:26.300
<v Paul>Yeah.

00:53:26.300 --> 00:53:26.619
<v Paul>And I

00:53:26.780 --> 00:53:28.780
<v Paul>'m I assume candles are pretty much a solved

00:53:28.940 --> 00:53:29.660
<v Paul>problem here in

00:53:29.820 --> 00:53:30.300
<v Paul>year of our

00:53:30.460 --> 00:53:30.940

<v Paul>Or

00:53:33.080 --> 00:53:33.880
<v Paul>am I wrong?

00:53:34.280 --> 00:53:36.120
<v Drew>No, you're not wrong.

00:53:36.120 --> 00:53:38.440
<v Drew>Um, but you just have to get the right material.

00:53:38.440 --> 00:53:38.520
<v Drew>So

00:53:38.760 --> 00:53:41.560
<v Drew>I'm I'm happy to announce that I'm a soy boy.

<v Drew>Yep, and uh I just needed to buy something to melt it in.

<v Drew>liter

00:54:08.640 --> 00:54:12.160
<v Drew>large capacity, comma for making candles and soaps.

00:54:11.780 --> 00:54:12.339
<v Drew>Comma Kid

00:54:12.500 --> 00:54:12.900
<v Drew>includes wax

00:54:13.060 --> 00:54:14.180
<v Drew>melting pot and stirring spoon.

00:54:14.180 --> 00:54:14.339
<v Drew>It's

00:54:14.500 --> 00:54:14.500
<v Drew>a lot of things.

00:54:14.660 --> 00:54:16.740
<v Drew>A lot of comma slices in there in that that title.

00:54:24.180 --> 00:54:24.500
<v Drew>Yeah.

00:54:24.500 --> 00:54:24.980
<v Drew>Okay.

00:54:26.000 --> 00:54:27.600
<v Drew>Yeah, so you throw your wax

00:54:27.760 --> 00:54:30.160
<v Drew>beads in that, you turn it on, you melt it.

00:54:30.160 --> 00:54:31.520
<v Drew>Um I bought some wicks.

00:54:31.520 --> 00:54:35.120
<v Drew>You're supposed to soak the wicks in the wax for a certain amount of time.

00:54:35.140 --> 00:54:35.380
<v Drew>Uh

00:54:35.539 --> 00:54:36.180
<v Drew>and then

00:54:36.420 --> 00:54:36.660
<v Drew>um

00:54:36.900 --> 00:54:37.299
<v Drew>I'm not

00:54:37.460 --> 00:54:38.660
<v Drew>making scented candles.

00:54:38.660 --> 00:54:40.260
<v Drew>I'm never gonna make a scented candle.

00:54:40.260 --> 00:54:41.779
<v Drew>Scented candles are stupid.

00:54:41.779 --> 00:54:42.180
<v Drew>Okay.

00:54:42.180 --> 00:54:42.339
<v Drew>Um

00:54:42.500 --> 00:54:43.380
<v Drew>just live in your house with

00:54:43.539 --> 00:54:43.700
<v Drew>this

00:54:43.859 --> 00:54:46.500
<v Drew>natural smell, you fucking jerk.

00:54:47.060 --> 00:54:50.820
<v Paul>The amount of Senate candles in this house, Drew, would would probably infuriate you.

00:54:50.820 --> 00:54:51.540
<v Paul>Yeah, probably.

00:54:51.780 --> 00:54:52.500
<v Paul>So many.

00:54:52.500 --> 00:54:53.540
<v Drew>So many.

00:54:53.540 --> 00:54:53.780
<v Drew>So

00:54:54.020 --> 00:54:56.980
<v Drew>what I like about this is it dries just white.

00:54:56.780 --> 00:54:57.099
<v Drew>Right.

00:54:57.099 --> 00:54:57.579
<v Drew>So it's just

00:54:57.900 --> 00:55:00.540
<v Drew>a nice white contrast, like that's all I wanted.

00:55:00.619 --> 00:55:01.099
<v Paul>Uh-huh.

00:55:01.099 --> 00:55:01.579
<v Drew>Yep.

00:55:01.579 --> 00:55:01.820
<v Drew>So

00:55:01.980 --> 00:55:02.540
<v Drew>you throw

00:55:02.780 --> 00:55:11.660
<v Drew>basically I scoop out some beads, throw it in the wax melter, let it melt, pour it in there, and then like the wicks that I'm using are like these little wood wicks.

00:55:11.160 --> 00:55:11.480
<v Drew>Yeah.

00:55:11.480 --> 00:55:15.240
<v Drew>And what you can't see, because this is opaque, is there's like a little metal clamp

00:55:15.480 --> 00:55:17.320
<v Drew>in there that it sits in.

00:55:17.320 --> 00:55:17.800
<v Drew>So like

00:55:17.960 --> 00:55:22.280
<v Drew>after you pour the wax, but before it sets up, you just kind of set that in there.

00:55:22.359 --> 00:55:26.920
<v Drew>And because it's metal, it sinks, and then it just kind of forms up around it.

00:55:27.000 --> 00:55:27.320
<v Drew>So

00:55:28.520 --> 00:55:29.160
<v Drew>that is

00:55:29.320 --> 00:55:29.560
<v Drew>uh

00:55:29.720 --> 00:55:31.320
<v Drew>that's what I've been up to.

00:55:30.900 --> 00:55:34.500
<v Drew>While you're enjoying concerts, I'm over here inhaling resin and making candles.

00:55:34.660 --> 00:55:35.619
<v Drew>Making candles.

00:55:35.619 --> 00:55:36.740
<v Drew>Making candles.

00:55:36.819 --> 00:55:37.940
<v Paul>I never would have guessed

00:55:38.099 --> 00:55:39.539
<v Paul>candle making.

00:55:39.620 --> 00:55:41.780
<v Paul>to be your new hobby, Drew.

00:55:41.780 --> 00:55:43.780
<v Drew>I mean, look, man, work

00:55:44.100 --> 00:55:44.420
<v Drew>is

00:55:44.740 --> 00:55:45.220
<v Drew>tough

00:55:45.460 --> 00:55:47.860
<v Drew>and I need something to help me just unplug

00:55:48.020 --> 00:55:48.740
<v Drew>for a little bit

00:55:48.900 --> 00:55:49.220
<v Drew>and

00:55:49.640 --> 00:55:53.480
<v Drew>Now that I have the process down, I can go back to my workbench.

00:55:53.480 --> 00:55:55.720
<v Drew>I can put on my PPE.

00:55:55.720 --> 00:55:56.359
<v Drew>I can

00:55:56.520 --> 00:55:58.039
<v Drew>mix up some stuff.

00:55:58.140 --> 00:56:00.059
<v Drew>Pour it into my molds that I have made.

00:56:00.059 --> 00:56:01.339
<v Drew>I've got like four different molds

00:56:01.500 --> 00:56:05.020
<v Drew>that I've made out of silicone and I can make some of these, let them

00:56:05.180 --> 00:56:08.539
<v Drew>set up, come down the next morning, take them out.

00:56:08.520 --> 00:56:08.839
<v Drew>um

00:56:09.160 --> 00:56:09.800
<v Drew>sand them

00:56:10.119 --> 00:56:10.920
<v Drew>down, uh

00:56:11.079 --> 00:56:15.560
<v Drew>put a put a clear you know, put the finishing thing on it if I want it, and then melt some wax and let them

00:56:15.720 --> 00:56:17.160
<v Drew>set up for a little while.

00:56:17.820 --> 00:56:19.500
<v Drew>And you know, these are these are cool gifts.

00:56:19.500 --> 00:56:23.900
<v Drew>So like if somebody wanted one with like their logo, for example, I could be like, Yeah, I could do that.

00:56:23.900 --> 00:56:24.300
<v Drew>That's cool.

00:56:24.380 --> 00:56:28.140
<v Drew>You know, it it would probably take me a couple days to get the mold, but once I have the mold, I can start

00:56:28.180 --> 00:56:28.740
<v Drew>Crankin' out

00:56:28.900 --> 00:56:29.700
<v Drew>candles.

00:56:29.700 --> 00:56:30.660
