Part 2 of Steven Seagal ep has dropped. Sadly no energy drink but we did get a snippet of Seagal's "blues" album. It's...unexpected.

Today's dollop is as good a reason as any to drop this song inspired by George Lazenby https://youtu.be/ZUbw9fe49bM

SalTheBard posted:I was born in 1981 and apparently Ronald Reagan was my imaginary friend. My Mom used to set me in front of the TV to watch the Gipper speak. I have always had a reverence for Reagan my whole life. I know that he's a piece of poo poo, I hate his politics, but I'm really scared to listen to those episodes its both "better" and worse. basically reagan and nancy were fine with gays and had gay friends but reagan cared more about power and sold them out because the evangelicals were loving monsters.

I remember reading that's because his martial art, aikido, is basically unbeatable. Or so he legitimately believes. When he was a big name, he insisted that no one would be able to touch him in a fight because of his superior style and directors tended to just go with it, for fear of upsetting the talent. This is why I used to avoid his movies before I knew there were better reasons to do so. Being full of poo poo is such a minor ethical crime compared to some of the other stuff you hear about the prick.

So I have been thinking the Dollop was about MMA fighter and Wrestler Paul Lazenby and was really scared to listen to it after binging Behind the Bastards

He's basically just a stupid meathead scumbag that's convinced himself he's got a literally unbeatable martial art and because he also was a big star with tons of money he created an echochamber where everyone went along with it.

The absolute best detail about that Seagal episode is that he got extorted by mobsters, while he was armed with a gun, and did nothing about it. They were caught laughing about it on a wiretap later. He encountered a real life version of one of his movies and bitched out (which, in fairness, is what almost anyone else would do). Rather than making him re-examine his life or choices or beliefs or image, he just appears to have kept doubling down ever since. You really can't make this poo poo up. These monsters are all really that hypocritical and rapey and lovely and dishonest and corrupt.

Which is hilarious as in the BtB episode Seanbaby (who has extensive experience in martial arts) repeatedly points out that Aikido is utterly worthless in an actual fight and the more showy demonstrations require the active participation of the "victim", hence why so far no serious MMA fighter uses Aikido (instead most focus on judo, BJJ, etc). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aikido#Criticisms AceOfFlames fucked around with this message at 12:12 on Oct 20, 2018 |

I got a 4th hand story a while ago about seagal showing off an unbeatable technique for escaping a choke from the back to a couple bjj guys. they started choking and then seagal punches him in the dick, which probably hurts but doesnt do anything about the actual choke so it tightens and he poo poo himself. I don't know how much of it is true but I'm guessing at least 60%

It can't be that bad. I'm sure Nauru was a lovely place before they strip-mined it of all the bird poo poo and turned it into a permanent prison for refugees.

If you would like a more humorous take on L Ron Hubbard, he was "interviewed" for The Dead Authors Podcast. Andy Daly's performance as Hubbard full of insane energy and actual quotes. http://thedeadauthorspodcast.libsyn.com/chapter-45-part-1-l-ron-hubbard-featuring-andrew-daly http://thedeadauthorspodcast.libsyn.com/chapter-45-part-2-l-ron-hubbard-featuring-andy-daly

I don't know how much of it is true but I'm guessing at least 60% Crotch shots do hurt, but if you're in the fight mindset, your brain is busy with other poo poo. Once the other guy is down, you can then double over in pain.

The dollop needs to do an episode on Col. James Ketchum more badly than I can explain. It's like if Philip K Dick was a research psychiatrist for the army in the 70s. At one point an entire barrel of liquid LSD appears and disappears, without explanation. Here's a writeup that doesnt even capture the complete insanity but gets very close: https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2012/12/17/operation-delirium JuulPodSaveAmerica fucked around with this message at 21:22 on Oct 28, 2018 |

Wells Fargo was ok when it got going but there’s a lot of financially complicated poo poo that’s all a bit grown up for me so I just had to assume I had to be outraged and depressed. Nauru was just a horrifically upsetting episode.

There's a lot to unravel with the whole financial crash, what a derivative is and how sub prime mortages tanked an entire economy also how businesses had zero risk in it all but hey if you guys have questions I can give a solid explanation i know the stuff well(s fargo) enough.

On the other hand as an aussie I find their Australian episodes boring as I already know all that depressing poo poo. Which is why I'll probably never watch a live show when they come here. Wait until one day you find out the Aboriginal Protection Board did not actually do any protection of aboriginals but sent them off as indentured servants not paid, got raped Fo3 fucked around with this message at 18:14 on Oct 31, 2018 |

Yes the banks created a new financial instrument to profit off of, but really it made sense. It genuinely did. But there was some perverseness all around... So lets say you're a bank and you're gambling on a 20 sided dice. If you roll a nine or above you double your money. If you roll a 8 or below you lose it. Basically this was a sub prime loan as far as banks were concerned, so they said I don't want to roll once and possibly lose half even though i have a chance to make money, I rather roll 1000 times. If you roll a 1000 times it regresses to the mean and voila, you're making easy money. So what the banks did was take a 1000 different sub prime mortages, cut them into 1000 pieces, then rearrage them and sell them. That way you can buy 10000 dollars in sub prime mortages, and diversify the risk for 1000's of different houses, so even if 5 go down, you're not out everything. It's like the dice, if you roll enough you know your risk. OK so banks don't actually keep the loans. They just, make poo poo happen, then sell it to freddy fannie and all those other government backed places. Government backed meaning the government will guarantee those loans. So the banks know if anything goes wrong, they'll just sell the thing to the government effectively. Lastly what really did it in is these things were rated the safest forms of investment for S&P. So basically too many houses in certain areas caused these new financial things to get useless and it tanked a lot of investments, then it forced freddie and fannie to have useless investments that the US government promised to pay out and that's how you make a mess this bad. There was some fraud and opulence by the bankers but really in the end the lack of regulations really killed us

To add onto that, banks assumed that each roll of the dice/separate housing market was completely unrelated to every other one. So if one dice rolled 7, it wouldn't cause other dice to roll lower. This had been a reasonable assumption in the past, but that was before the national housing bubble. When a national housing bubble pops, all the houses have a higher rate of foreclosure. So a roll of 7 might just foreshadow a whole streak of 7s. It didn't help that the financial instrument convinced bankers that they were totally protected from small housing bubbles, which made them more willing to lend out loans willy nilly, which helped create a nation-sized housing bubble. Also, they should do a dollop on Cpt. Marcus Aurelius Arnheiter, who nearly drove the crew of the USS Vance to mutiny before he was summarily relieved of command.

Dave goes out of his way to explain that the Nauru story is not about the recent refugee crisis, but its about the island's history Veskit posted:Kinda of? Yeah I meant to add a line at the end that basically a lot of people did the bare minimum to cover legal liability and that it was really the lack of regulation.
