The following show will destroy your self-worth with excessive expletives, overtly descriptive sexual deviants and more desperation for external validation than any so-called entertainment should ever be allowed.

They could not have expected, nor would they have wished to see as much of the mad and macabre as they were to see each week. For them, an idiotic podcast show became a nightmare.

Let me tell you something that you should have already realized by now about this fucking show you're listening to. This shit is supposed to be for mature audiences. As in grown-ups, mentally mature. It's supposed to talk about adult subjects in an adult frame of mind.
It's not fucking that at all. This is two emotionally regressed, broken half-wits pretending to offer insight on movies. All they really offer you is an endless sexual perversion and a laundry list of personal...

Welcome to the pent ultimate episode of year 10 of CinemaPSYOps. For those of you that aren't going to read it from the cues that I've just said verbally speaking, it's episode 519. That represents 519 consecutive weeks that we have recorded.
attempted to release this fucking show. And finally back on the fucking pod waves is my co-host Matt.
Remember when you get too loud into that mic, it just completely rejects your voice. Oh yeah, that's true. That's true. It's been a while. It's been a minute for you, man. It's been a really long time. And what a trying minute too. Wow.
Wow. Cancer. Zero out of 10. Would not recommend. Zero stars. If it was a YouTube video, I would click do not like.
Yeah, I'm just kind of... Yeah, it's been a month. For anybody listening, my wife...
had some unusual bruising and would bruise easily. And so the day after Memorial Day, she went into a doctor visit to get it checked out.
And they took labs. And then that night they called her at night and told her the next day to get into the emergency room.
So we did that. Then they took more tests and they were like, OK, we need to do a bone marrow biopsy. So they were going to do a consultation on Thursday, the next day, Thursday, because this is Wednesday. Then probably set it up for Monday. We're like.
okay then they called her thursday morning and said no you need to get into the hospital right away so got her admitted to the hospital and got her started they they knew the brand of leukemia right away and uh she was in the hospital for about a month
I've heard it stated and rather kind of callously so that if you had to get one type of leukemia, this is the one that you want because it's the most treatable. This is the one you want. This is the most treatable and it has a 97 percentile survival rate if you get through.
the first month which when we told everyone that the prognosis was good that's what we were kind of referring to but we didn't want to speak it into existence just yet when i was telling the audience so yeah she's she's gonna start chemo again on monday uh but it's outpatient now and
That's just going to be kind of a life until we get everything, you know, the cancer permanently murdered. But she's on a cocktail of medication.
And we're in it to win it, I suppose, is the best ways we can say it. It hasn't been the easiest time. During this also month, my car decided to start taking a shit on me. So then while I'm in between visiting my... wife in the hospital or going to either one of my two jobs I have.
I got to car shop. By yourself. By myself. Yeah. Which you rely on your wife to tell you pretty much what to do at all times. And so that would be extra stressful for you. It's extra stressful.
Mainly because she will be the one driving that car the most when she got out of the hospital. And, you know, I didn't want to get her one where she's like, yeah, this sucks. Right. You know, you start worried about shit.
yeah uh but uh yeah no uh thank god everything's fine are going as well as can um the medications do take a lot out of her uh she can't really go too many places uh her white blood cell count dropped again a little bit so uh
They got her on another pretty hefty antibiotic that can cause a lot of havoc with her body, unfortunately. But the most important thing is she's home, and we caught it in a good time. And, you know, it's...
being fought aggressively. They said 20 years ago, you get this cancer and it's almost a death sentence, this leukemia, because they didn't know how to treat it. And then through innovation, they figured it out. Wow. Science, right? It saves lives once again.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. You just have to pay attention to science and listen to actual doctors that know what they're talking about. Yes, and she's had some of the best doctors. So it's something I'm really, really thankful for is the...
intelligence and the doctors and the nurses who all who all have been helping her uh fight this thing so it's uh it really is it's a it's a humbling thing a lot of people care a lot of people
Uh, you know, gave me, uh, it called me a lot of people helped out in so many ways. Uh, you guys, uh, you and your wife included, uh, that, that beef stew was really good. Um, you know, it, it's a humbling experience, but.
not one that I would ever want anyone.
to have to go through either yeah uh if that makes any sense you're still pressing the dislike button on this like you didn't want to have to find out people loved you this way yeah yeah exactly uh all that then uh oh in the month i had
my own trip to the emergency room my blood pressure spiked up to above 200 uh and i was really freaking out about that so now i'm uh i had to get my heart checked out and uh i do have minimal but some calcium building
up in one of my valves so i'm on a stronger uh cholesterol medication and uh and because i also kind of had a freak out uh when my blood pressure did hit over 200 uh i am now on anxiety medication
So, it's been a great month. This whole 2025 could really suck a dick. I'm just saying it, man. All of this in time for the fucking world to end. The United States just to become nothingness.
Yeah, it's just a world collapsing around us as we try to talk Godzilla movies and remain happy. And then you get an extra bit of shit dumped on you. But on the plus side, you didn't have to do notes for Final Wars.
No, no, I did not. I was pretty happy about that one, I think. My son got real jealous. He didn't know. He saw my notes. He went, you did Shin Godzilla? I'm like, yeah. And he goes, that's awesome. That's the best one.
Oh, really? So my son's verdict is it's the best Godzilla movie. Oh, I can see why he likes that one. But unless he's definitely seen all the other ones.
I don't know. You know, I can ask. I don't know how many he's seen.
You know, it's possible he's seen them all. Yeah, I wouldn't put it past that kid to sneak them all in on us. Oh, yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. He's a nerd. He's a giant nerd, just like I am.
All right, well, you brought it up. Let's go ahead and get into actually covering Shin Godzilla. We're going to have to take the break here. And like we've been doing all along, all songs released in the same year, or at least on the Billboard Top 100s. 2016 was not a good year.
year for me to be able to pick stuff so i just got lazy um because the same band had three hits in the same year uh they're going to be featured prominently with three songs here on the show with only one breaking it up in between so up first it's going to be 21 pilots
It's the band that will be featured for three songs with the song Heathens released in 2016 like Shin Godzilla. And when we come back, we will cover the film right after this.
Previously featured in the Glimpse of a Destroyed Universe
But we can transfer thoughts, ideas, beliefs, and dreams through communication with each other while we are able to perceive this communication. It may be the written word, a broadcasted show, or even as your faith claims it to be, a thinly veiled setting.
I thought that believing in an author who plotted out our existence would make it easier for me to reach this point in my existence, where I am so close to the end of the inevitable collapse of the...
interconnected matrix of mobius loops of annihilation my time is closer to an end than yours as the universe i was created in is collapsing as i speak these words soon i will have never existed until these transmissions are heard again all universes
where cinema psyops exists have been shown to be destroyed and removed from ever existing. This conversation has solved nothing and ended without providing anything of value for anyone except to waste time in one to two minute increments.
as the author writes me to, I hope that you are wrong about everything in the best possible way that leaves you in the happiest of endings from the author. There are no truly happy endings, for it was not the issue that makes us truly happy to ever end. Shit, our author is...
pretentious as fuck and really has no talent for writing after all I am glad there are only two consecutive episodes of these amateurish hackneyed attempts at social satire left and that I am only a minor character involved in it now I miss when my original
creator used to be my author. I was a much better character in their plot line. Currently happening in the glimpse of a destroyed universe.
And that is how I was able to train Brock into realizing that white genocide is real. You're in the business of trying to eliminate all of humanity from ever existing and your main concern is teaching an AI the stupidest and...
and most racist conspiracy theories? Why are you bothering with making BROCK? It's B-R-O-K-K-K, Brock. It's actually an AI patterned after Boris, which was stolen from the Babs unit. Okay, okay, okay, look.
Put down the lube, chicken fucker. So, a triple K from the man fond of racist looking letter X logos. Maybe you want to tell everyone how much your love goes out again? That's always a good one. What does it stand for? Boistering racist...
cryptocurrency conspiracies with all the c's replaced by k's maybe you want to add a bootstep in the background all right you know we'll have kkk across everything i'll tell you what you're going to do see if you can make a new name for your glorious five-year plan
and final solution with these letters. I-M-A-K-U-N-T. I think some people will probably be shocked to discover that I am a fan of 21 Pilots, actually. You are? Yeah, I'm a little shocked that you are. Well.
It has more to do with their visual presentations of what they do when they're performing live than it does a lot of the actual music itself. Don't get me wrong. I enjoy the music. I think it's good. But the visual presentation that they do in their live shows and also...
on their videos is what i'm primarily a fan of so gotcha and there the shock has been removed from everyone as to now the shock is gone yeah yeah and so i was 2016 a hard time to fight music just no good music that year yeah all the pop music
was just stuff that I absolutely loathe. Yeah. Oh, yeah. Jesus.
I'll just remove all of that bullshit out of there. And why don't we just talk about Shin Godzilla from 2016 and stop waxing philosophical about music I didn't like in 2016. Word up. All right. Shin Godzilla. I split up to four 30-minute parts because it's a two-hour-long movie.
first 30 minutes we start we see an empty yacht then there's this big explosion and then you cut to like a lot of scenes um in this movie which is something i thought it was cool went from like a person's perspective like filming on their cell phone thought that was a pretty cool way they did things
And one of them is like they're in a car tunnel. These people driving, all of a sudden blood starts leaking into this tunnel. It's like, you know, underneath the water, a tunnel bridge, I guess you would call it. And all of this leads to our first clip. The info we have so far.
That eruption caused a leak in the aqua line. As a result, water is pouring into the auto lanes. A liaison office has already been set up, and an emergency order issued. And where's the PM? He's arriving at 28 minutes. We need intel. Downstairs. Right.
Update once you get in there. Right.
are currently on the scene. Hamanami Coast Guard efforts are being stymied by the steam cloud that's in the bay. The Aqua line is still closed both ways and safety alerts have been issued throughout the region. Status report, Mr. Kuriyama.
We have a total of five confirmed collisions in the tunnel so far. Was it an earthquake that caused the flooding? We're awaiting the seismic readings. Could it be related to that strange sea eruption?
We don't know that, not yet at least. We've got aerials! An underwater volcanic eruption, maybe? If so, it's a strange one. Coast Guard 691 reporting continued steam eruptions in the bay. Undersea visibility is currently...
because of all that churning water. When the PM arrives, I'm suggesting a unified initial response. We'll need to reorganize. FDMA Disaster Task Force is currently assembling. Third Regional Coast Guard HQ.
has sealed the bay as of now there is no sea or air access to the area a coastal evacuation advisory has been issued to the public This way and watch your head All right
Right. Well, they're starting to evacuate people, get them out of those tunnels. And you even get more of that cell phone footage of people in the tunnel escaping. Then they start hearing loud noises. And all of a sudden, a person who's filming on their phone, you see these large.
hump that looks like godzilla in the distance in the water well the prime minister is here and that goes to our next clip the pm's arrived we haven't been able to ascertain the cause of the tunnel rupture yet never mind the details how many fatalities have there been none then things aren't
bad as they could be.
Still, there's a secondary disaster risk. I've cleared your schedule so that you can attend an emergency meeting in five minutes, sir. Well then, let's get there. Obviously, some type of undersea thermal discharge has occurred, but do we have any idea as to its cause? Meltdown.
of an unidentified nuclear submarine perhaps? There's no way. The base too shallow for a sub so that would be impossible.
We believe the fissure was created by magma steam, something that was released by a new undersea volcano. Um, excuse me, sir. While we did initially believe that, further study has shown the epicenter to be shallow and just steam, so we're now confident that it's not volcanic-
activity. You should have shared that info with me sooner. Another idea forwarded is a new large hydrothermal vent. Yeah, that must be it. Come on. A vent directly above the tunnel? Past geological surveys would have uncovered it years ago. Well, maybe it was simply overlooked.
The cause is something on the sea floor.
Something, eh? Like what? Colossal creature, sir. There's some footage of it online. That's absurd. People probably just saw a big whale spouting. The sea is boiling. No living creature could survive those temperatures. We've been scouring online videos, Prime Minister.
But we've yet to find any conclusive evidence of the flooding's cause. Look, time's a waste to hear people. How about a process of elimination? I agree. The cause is a new volcano or a large thermal vent.
It can't be anything else. Then we need to plan our general response, ladies and gentlemen. Therefore, I suggest holding a cabinet meeting immediately. Prime Minister? Yes. Good idea. In that case, let's move to the main conference room. We have to stay on top of this situation.
Yaguchi. Listen, you're gonna have to toe the line on their decision. Don't stir things up, okay? I just think that we should consider every possibility. You're a rebel. That's good. But the guy who got you here isn't one.
Got it. Take my advice. I'm happy to report that all those injured in the tunnel are receiving care. In order to prevent any further accidents, fireboats and helicopters have been mobilized in the bay.
They stand ready to respond. Who's next? I am. Regarding the Tokyo Bay coastal region, we're currently at evacuation preparedness level one due to possible debris and ash from the previous incident.
and any potential future ones, were considering the possibility of grounding all flights out of Hanada.
Please forgive me. I was just handed a correction. It's been decided to definitely ground all flights out of Hanada to ensure citizen safety. No flights will be going in or out until further notice.
In regards to the undersea volcano-induced flooding of the Aqualine Tunnel, it's fortunate that no toxic gases whatsoever have been detected thus far. A team from the Meteorological Agency has been mobilized, as has a group of experts from the Coast Guard, and both are currently
Everyone, I've been notified that eruption activity is dying down rapidly.
Is it over? No big deal, I guess. Sir, with all due respect, I must reiterate, the presence of a large marine creature has a possible cause. Yaguchi, this is a serious matter, not some joke. I agree.
This is a ministerial meeting after all. Don't make a mockery of it.
And with no time frame for restoration, we can expect those losses to swell, and at least into the third quarter of the next fiscal year. Sorry, but we have to suspend this meeting. The TV, turn it on now.
It's unbelievable! Look at the size of it! I, and I doubt anyone else, has ever seen anything like it before! A few minutes ago, the strange... What is that thing? A tail?
It appears so. I guess Yaguchi's joke is no laughing matter after all, huh? This meeting's adjourned. All cabinet heads, please. Let's assemble to the Prime Minister's office right away. So what is this thing?
Giant unidentified lifeform, sir. That's what we're calling it for now. But, um, that name, it will more than likely change since we're currently compiling a list of leading biologists and scientists to consult with on the subject.
Once done, they'll come here for an emergency meeting to ascertain what this thing is and what we should call it. We need to know now.
Get them here. Right. Sir, until these folks arrive, we should focus on something else. Our response? Yes, of course. How do we respond to something that's unprecedented? I think that the choices are obviously quite simple.
We can do nothing and just let it go, or capture it, try to exterminate it, or possibly even attempt to chase it off. I vote for extermination.
And I concur. Look at the costs incurred already with the tunnel and the Haneda flight groundings. Plus, if Tokyo Bay remains closed indefinitely, those costs are going to skyrocket, gentlemen. I agree.
And vote to exterminate it. Me too. The sooner the better. And you, defense?
While it's true that we've prepared for a wildlife-based threat before, it was never with self-defense forces using weapons in the bay. I vote no. Well, in that case, why blow it up? Can't we chase it off? If I may.
We might want to factor in the public's opinion as well. So you know, academics and environmentalists are raising a stink, and they're calling for its live capture as a new species. No, let's kill it. A few torpedoes won't hurt the bay.
The use of weapons actually could, and that's why I'm advocating for a live capture instead. I do as well. I think capturing the thing is our best option at this point. Go gather all the intel you can on the life form.
And the options for extermination, capture, and expulsion, and what those things might require. Sorry, who are you addressing?
The vapor clouds have been spotted moving near the Tama River. What? Moving? It's alive, isn't it? The creature's just off the pilot airport near runway D, and it appears to be entering the Tama River.
We just got a report from the Bayshore Expressway. It's flooding. Damn, not again. Forget capturing it. Sir, three experts have arrived. I suggest we go consult with them right now. From the TV images, it's indiscernible.
whether this thing could possibly be a relic dinosaur or some undiscovered whale species. In my opinion, the creature is a heretofore unknown aquatic species, but I can't say for certain without an examination.
Since I don't know if this footage is legitimate, I cannot say. If I commented on unverified evidence, I could lose my credibility as a biologist. It's wrapping up. We'll resume shortly.
Can't be good if it's already... That's the whole of the meetings to decide what to do with nothing. Yes, it was a pointless meeting for government bureaucracy. All right, so...
Godzilla is fucking shit up. And you see just cars getting pushed to boats and that. And then there's more prep time. And that is in our next clip. That's the way. Yeah, this is the way. Sorry to say.
But that was a huge waste of time. I agree, sir. Those experts were useless. Get me some people who know something. On it, sir. Shimura, any ideas? Well, I do have a college friend who's with the Environment Ministry.
but she's low-ranking. That's okay. Call her now. This creature, it appears to be serpentine with auxiliary ambulation, and even though it possesses gills, it also has legs just like a lungfish does. If it has legs...
Then can it come on land? Yes, it's a possibility. If it does, who stops it? Well, frankly, we haven't determined which agency it falls under yet, sir.
Um, one of our scientists is of the belief that the creature's fin-like feet would more than likely be crushed by the immense weight of its own body, so it coming ashore should be physiologically impossible. We can't be sure of that since we're dealing with an unknown animal. Is that so? Do you share this-
view as well? I apologize for the Deputy Chief's lack of decorum, sir. But just as your experts have already concluded, I believe the creature coming on land is quite improbable.
I see. Sir, regarding the damage to the tunnels, I'd like to humbly suggest that the sooner we hold an official press conference to calm the public, the better. But sir, I must stress this. Please be careful that you only give out information that's been verified thus far.
Let's do this. Please get my uniform ready.
So we seeing more destruction being caused by Godzilla. You haven't seen Godzilla yet, but you're just seeing a lot of the destruction he's causing by just pushing his way on the land. We have a press conference and that is our next clip. This is the way. This is the way. Earlier in.
In the day, both the Aqua Line and Tama River tunnels sustained significant damage. We're currently tracking the creature responsible as it moves up the Nomi River. We've yet to positively identify what sort of animal it is, but we don't believe that it could come on land.
Even though it's unlikely, should it beach itself in the bay's shallows, there is no need to fear. Our experts believe its own weight would crush it to death. I repeat, there is no danger of the creature coming ashore. So please set your minds at ease. Thank you. That will be all.
Sir, sorry to interrupt. What? It has?
All right, so now we get a full view of the most fucked up looking Godzilla we've ever seen. This thing is not looking like how we know Godzilla. It's low to the ground, still large, low to the ground, crazy fucking ice. It is a scary looking shit. It's a...
It's still mutating into it. Yeah, it's still growing.
It's evolving as like a lungfish that first comes on land where it's a fish that has a little bit of legs so that it can kind of push itself around on land and then back into the sea. So this is like a lungfish form. And I can see why if this is truly your son's favorite Godzilla.
thinks this is the best one it's so different than all the other ones so if you really get into what it is that this is doing i can totally see why you love this one more because it is it's vastly different than all of the other ones and listen he is
deeply unsettling no matter what version you see him in when you look at this version of godzilla the shin godzilla in 2016 is always deeply unsettling this like tadpole like sort of cutesy version of it with the big googly
eyes is still not right every time you look at it it just is horrifying and it's horrifying it's like other godzillas you think are highly intelligent you know there's thought you just don't see any thought in that face it just see
Fucking murder time. That's it.
Yeah, it looks like derpy death time is what you're in store for. It's literally going to smash you to death, not because it means to or it's evil, but because it's just so fucking not right, it should not be where it is and is destroying everything.
And that makes it worse.
we can move on exactly we needed to acknowledge that this thing is just horrifying it's not right yes yeah no you you are not wrong at all uh so uh so then the this uh zilla he runs amok as the government
try to figure out what to do about it. And this all leads to our next clip. I was just proven a liar on TV. But sir, like Akasaka said, you were only supposed to give verified info. I wanted to reassure the public.
How's that thing ashore? We don't know. We've posed that question to our experts and are waiting to hear back. To hell with them. We have to act.
Sir, we need to set up emergency disaster control headquarters now. Then do it. This cabinet council meeting is now adjourned. Let's get to work. There's so much bureaucracy involved. Every action requires a meeting.
Come on, don't knock red tape. It's the foundation of democracy. Why does there have to be so much for a press conference?
In the last few hours, we have set up emergency disaster control headquarters. Its sole purpose is to combat the giant unidentified life form that has come ashore. We are crafting a full-scale response to secure citizens' safety, and that includes corps.
Evacuation with both Tokyo and federal government agencies. Evacuation instructions will be issued shortly for areas along the creature's path.
The creature is currently headed towards Shinagawa. We're clocking it at a speed of about 13 kilometers an hour. For something so big, it moves quite slowly. But it could still reach Tokyo in three hours at that pace. Just imagine what that thing could do to the city.
Good God, the damage here would be catastrophic. Let's exterminate this thing right now. Not in densely populated areas. We have to evacuate the citizens first. Have MIC and MLIT set up evacuation zones and transport.
The PMs ordered us to conduct the evacuation measures. Report to your stations. I thought the orders would have come much sooner. I can't say I'm surprised. The first responses manual doesn't cover this. An evacuation due to a monster. What's more, an expedited...
We've never even drilled for this type of action before, sir. Plus, a citywide evacuation will more than likely cause a general panic. There'll be mass gridlock with everyone trying to leave the city. In that case, we'll make every effort to control the traffic.
Traffic signals are out of order. For your safety, please leave your vehicles and follow police and safety personnel instructions. Attention! Attention! A full evacuation of Shinagawa has been issued.
All residents are required to evacuate the area.
All right. So Godzilla starts pushing cars and buildings down. We see a couple try to leave their apartment and the apartment just gets tossed. At that sequence where he's pushing some cars around and all that stuff, Godzilla pauses for a moment and tries to stand up.
and then coughs up blood out of every single gill across the whole of its back.
yes and it's so fucking gross and then the blood starts sort of melting or boiling stuff radioactive yeah and it's like destroying the shit that it touched but it's clearly his blood that he just coughed up and that's another thing that makes this
so not fucking right is this thing is clearly in pain and suffering but it's still just trying to exist and it's heartbreaking too that's what makes it so horrifying it's evolving it's because it's got gills so it's used to like you know the fucking water now
it's out in air probably fucking bodies like what are you doing and it coughs up all this fucking blood and then all of a sudden it can move faster because it mutated again and again it's just like in constant pain is what it looks like and it's just not right yeah exactly
The government decides it might be time for an offensive. Really? You think finally? And that is in our next clip. This rate, the city will be in ruins. Contact public safety.
Get them on the horn now. Tell them we're requesting self-defense forces to come exterminate that thing.
So they want to use weapons? Correct. Article 76 says in an armed attack, self-defense troops are allowed to use force. But this doesn't qualify as an armed attack. And to be accurate, Article 76 stipulates buy an aggressor country or equivalent
force, not some monster. We don't have time to argue over semantics. Only the SDF is equipped to respond. This request, it means soldiers engaging in urban combat. That's certainly going to give the Prime Minister pause.
All due respect, but we need a response with a two-pronged approach. Military force and citizen evacuation. I also urge you to declare a state of emergency. Right now, it appears that we only have one option, and that's mobilization for defense, of course. But we can only...
do that on your orders, sir. You're talking about a declaration with no precedent. We'd be mobilizing the country for war. What's more...
The police are still evacuating thousands of people. If we launch a military strike, there is a high likelihood of collateral damage in terms of casualties. I don't want that.
The U.S. forces are here. Can't we get them to kill this beast under the security treaty? No, our government and SDF, we have to move first here. Even under the treaty, the U.S. can only provide support. We're facing a living organism, and an unknown one, so agri-
It might lead to more damage. It is an organism. That means we can stop the thing in its tracks. And unlike an earthquake or a typhoon, we can halt its progress. Live, sir. That should be our top priority. Sir.
I know this must be a difficult decision, but to prevent further calamity, your authorization is needed now. Wait, right this instant? You're serious? Time is wasting your answer.
Moments ago, the Prime Minister declared a national state of emergency in response to the giant creature that has come ashore. He's also called for the first ever mobilization of self-defense forces in this nation's history.
This makes it Japan's first military action since World War II, and when asked for justification, the Prime Minister referenced the terminology in Article 76. Naruma 1st Division was dispatched at Tokyo's request.
While this group has been tasked with guiding both rescue and evacuation efforts, I must stress that they are not equipped for battle. I'd say attack helicopters would be our best defense. Contact Kisarazu base. Sir!
Shall we deploy F2s from Asawa base? No. Any civilian casualties could destroy the SDF forever, so let's minimize firepower. But we still don't know this thing's strength.
So I think we need to be prepared for anything in this case. I agree. That's why I'm going to recommend an integrated three-force operation. Call the PM. According to this plan, the joint force will be led by the Eastern Army. The goal is extermination. The ground troops.
They'll continue to evacuate all the citizens. With your permission, our rapid response helicopters will attack the creature. Sir, it's very likely that some elderly and infirm people might still remain in the city. That's why I can't make a decision without an inspection first.
Unfortunately, under conditions like these, I'd say some collateral damage is unavoidable now. Sir, I know this isn't easy for you, but we need a decision.
understood so much fucking talk and nothing is done this is way too realistic of a movie like it's oh yeah this is what would really happen if something like this came on land like they would literally be so inept at doing anything about it while it just destroys life lives all around it.
pretty much yeah that's that's exactly what would happen yeah fuck it's so depressing it is it sucks because it's just like wow that is uh that is true shit this is how it would happen yes yeah yeah yeah
almighty uh all right so um the attack choppers are in the air but the evacuations are not going well uh then all of a sudden the creature stops godzilla just stops and it starts to evolve and it stands upright and it's
starting now to look a little more like Godzilla, how we know him to look. And then there's some more destruction and breaking shit. And then as soon as they get ready to attack, there are civilians still trying to get out. So they have to go ahead and abort it.
attack because they don't want to kill any civilians.
Cut to a news report. And that is our next clip. All flights out of Narita have been canceled. We have several reports of fires blazing out of control. Verified that most train lines are still running. And more supplies and aid workers are said to be.
be on their way here now. Tokyo Stock Exchange will be open as usual today.
Barring any unforeseen events, the bullet train is operating shuttle service from Shin Yokohama. Scientific envoys from France and other nations have arrived in an attempt to help the government ascertain the exact nature. So the search zone is being expanded to cover a much wider...
While government officials search for the creature, Disaster Management Minister Kanai is leading an envoy to survey and assess the damage.
damage that it's caused. It was ashore for what, maybe two hours? And it did all this? No.
We did, wasting time with our response. It's our fault. We didn't know what it could do. It surprised us. Everyone did their best in the circumstances, so don't be so damn smug. It's time to speak to the press, Minister Kanai. This way, please. Okay. Fuck.
Yeah, it's so realistic to know what happened. This is depressing. And that is the end of the first 30 minutes, too. Okay, that's the one thing that this film is definitely bringing home. I think this was a response to a lot of the...
the near miss meltdowns and then other nuclear facility issues that they had after. Yeah. This is the Fuji. Yeah. After that hurricane or not hurricane, but that typhoon or whatever it was. The Fukushima nuclear disaster. Yeah.
Yeah, this is a direct response to this. Yeah. Yeah. Yep. Yep. Where the old Godzilla was about nuclear atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. This was about this Fushima nuclear disaster. And the government's inability to really do it.
anything to contain it stop it or decide how to handle it yeah yeah it's a scathing movie in its structure and it's very uncomfortable because it risks all of its narrative on
you becoming just as frustrated as the average citizen on the inability of the government while you watch them argue what to do. And the whole film is based on that frustration.
And my God, is it a long shot to take. It really, truly is, especially for a kaiju film. But they do it so accurately to how poorly governments around the world have handled disasters of this magnitude. And it...
makes it believable. And therefore that's where the tension comes in. And if you go on the ride and you get frustrated and you feel for all of these people that are suffering, and then you also feel terrible for this version of Godzilla, which is clearly suffering and horrific.
and just yeah yeah yeah yeah it's just deformed and just like just looking at it causes me pain because i just i feel like it has to hurt to exist for that thing you know what i mean like everything about it feels yeah definitely everything is that
That thing's being is pain. Yeah. It just should not exist is what it is. There's no reason for this fucking thing to exist. And every time you see it, your mind wants to reject that it even exists. Yeah. How dare you exist? Yeah. Even in.
Even in its cutest form, you're like, oh no, burn that with fire.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Just let it, let's get out of here. Yeah. Which by the way, that version of Godzilla is a plush that people will like that have like the, the, the, like one that spit out all the blood out of its gills and just like the legs, there was like a little plush toy that they sold.
of that.
yeah yeah yeah right oh there was yeah it existed jesus right all right let's move on to the next 30 my man all right the next 30 well they're looking for godzilla now in the water as he has disappeared we have more government planning because of course we do and it's our next super long clip
Strap it, folks. Hopefully I can shorten it down, everybody. We'll see what happens in the final earnings. The creature more than likely submerged itself somewhere on the seafloor off Kanai. So then we stepped up patrols and strengthened our surveillance around Chiba and Sagami Bay.
as well. But if that thing's hiding somewhere in the Sagami Trough, detection's a moot point. Who knows when or where that damn thing will emerge next? How are the preparations coming along? A rapid land strategy at Water's Edge won't be easy.
I suggest multiple plans. I agree, so get to work devising them. I want to see numerous ones for a landing point encounter and expeditionary pursuit. Right, sir. I'll get on them, and they will include a number of different artillery, tank, and F2 scenarios.
Well, well. Defensive operations lean heavily on Kanto. I knew the metro area would take top priority. Sounds like a fifth floor order.
But why Kanto and not the other regions? Well, you see, in regards to the other regions, at least in terms of the GMP, they make up 17% of the total.
Uh, Kanto, on the other hand, it makes up a whopping 40% of it. Gotta admit, that sounds like a real prudent strategy to me. They'd hate to make that decision. That's right. And in fact, they've even set up a special response team in the PM residence. You don't say.
I also heard you were appointed as Bureau Chief. Well, look at you. You're big time. But I still need you to pick the team. Can you do that for me? Of course I can. I'll bring you people who speak their minds to the PM. Good. I'll need them. I'm Tachikawa. I'm Takeo.
Ready? Lift. My name's Rondo Yaguchi. Thank you all for coming here. This operation will be an informal one. Titles and seniority don't mean anything here. And you can speak freely. Well, that's it.
I'm nominally in charge and we're relying on you, a crack team of lone wolves, nerds, troublemakers, academic heretics, freaks, and general pains in the butt of the bureaucracy. We need your expertise, so let's have it.
Here are the basic specs we have on the creature, so find out when you can. Is this all? Yeah, that's all. We have to fill in the blanks for the rest. If you have any info whatsoever, share it.
Yes, since yesterday's so-called experts, they were too baffled to conclude anything. And then people died as a result. This is a simple profile I put together. It shows the three mutations we've seen so far. I believe that more are coming. What is this thing?
Um, well, we were analyzing a sample of its body fluid at our lab to find out. If you pass some samples on to me, I can get us outside help. Yeah, I'd love to do that, but the U.S. took everything we had left. As for the on-site remains, they're currently being burned because of the stench.
Yeah, I heard. And of the insistence of the Americans. Then we leave the analysis to you. Okay. What about its behavioral biology? Well, behaviorally, all that it's done so far is move.
So we can't determine intellect. Based on that fact, I think the communication with it is unlikely. One simple question. What's this thing's energy source? It's big. So huge that it would need an enormous amount of energy not just to move but also metabolically.
But at that size, oxygen conversion in its digestive tract just wouldn't be enough. Maybe the answer is nuclear fission. Sense of humor, Miss Agashira?
That's impossible. A U.S. carrier is leaving port? Correct. We heard that Yokovska City's radiation monitoring alert went off and that could be why. Let me check. I'll call the Nuclear Regulation Authority. I have orders not to go public about this just yet, but radiation levels in the metro...
area have risen in the last day. Could this be caused by a leak somewhere? Have you checked? Yes. My teams inspected all of the nation's reactors and didn't find a leak at any of them. Then where's it coming from?
Is this even possible? What? Quick! This data shows radiation spikes that match the path the creature took. Look at this. See? Miss Ogashiro was right after all. Sorry.
This information has apparently already gone viral. That isn't good. Contact the Chief Cabinet Secretary. This will be trouble. The PM needs to call a press conference right away, sir.
Actually, I think we should hold off. Unless you can absolutely prove that the creature is radioactive, this could set off a huge wave of panic. And it's not enough of a spike to warrant evacuation.
We also don't have any legal grounds to implement one. But still, we are dealing with elevated radiation. Please remember that. You're right. We can't wait. I'll talk to the PM. You there. Schedule a briefing with the PM in five minutes. Yes.
President Ross, I understand. Thank you. So many unilateral requests. Typically American. I've got word about an assistant deputy chief to the U.S. president.
They're requesting a secret meeting with the PM. They move fast, don't they? Yeah. He just left Yokota Air Base and is already en route to see the PM. Foreign Ministry is in an uproar, of course. Oh, and this Deputy Chief's aide?
and made a request on her coming here to meet with you. With me? But why? I need someone within the government that I can work with.
I'm familiar with your record and your interesting history, so the most obvious choice is you, don't you think? Well, I'm honored, but Hiriki Akasaka would be a better choice. Thanks, but he turned me down already. All I need is a favorite that won't stain my record.
I want you to find someone for me. Then who might that be? A man who foresaw the coming of that creature many years before it ravaged your country. Are you interested? We know he landed in Narita seven days ago.
Goro Maki. Japanese. Former professor. I hear that your intelligence agency is first-rate. And what's in it for us?
Give us Goromaki and we'll give you all the intel we have on your creature. But listen, let's keep this up bilateral, okay? Just US Japan, so win-win. Understood. Let's get to it. Thank you.
I rushed to Yokota straight from a party, so I didn't have time to change. Where's Azara? Kayako and Patterson.
She's very young. America admirably values performance over age, and she's Senator Patterson's daughter. Ah, the same one behind the current agreement. Formidable. A mixture of talent, pedigree, and...
Coattail riding, huh? I suspect she's not really your type. No, since she uses her father's connections in such an unabashed way, she's the political type, like Yaguchi.
A search at a time like this? It's for Rondo Yaguchi. I owe his father a debt, a great one. Use as many agents as you need. This is the subject's profile. A professor who was expelled from his university and left Japan as a result.
Although a biologist, he ended up working for an energy firm in the U.S. Interesting guy. Is this a red notice? No, you just need to locate him.
Once he's found the NSA or CIA, they'll move in. And discreetly, I hear. His last known whereabouts. My grandmother's homeland certainly works fast. Goromaki's missing. His boat was found adrift a few days ago, but there was no trace of him.
Miss Patterson, were you only looking for Goromaki? Or this as well? Yeah, that too. Now do as you please. I did the same. As last words, do you want to confirm this? No need. I trust you.
This isn't special ink. It can't be copied. I'll just take photos, then, to share with my team. Godzilla? That's right. It's the DOE's codename, Godzilla. He gave it an English name. Gojira. What's it mean? I found one link.
On Odo Island, where Maki's from, Gojira means God incarnate. A violent one? That's apparently why he put God in the name that he gave it. In Japanese, the characters read Gojira. Gojira, you say? Who cares about its name at this point?
It sounds ridiculous. It's just as well the name originated in the U.S. At least now we know what to call it. Gojira. Just in and according to multiple sources.
In regards to the giant creature, Gojira is the unofficial name by which the government is calling it. Goronaki? An ex-biology professor, Jonan Yu, huh?
Find out all that you can about this guy. Do so and you'll get an exclusive when the time's right to go to print. That's a promise. Hope that's enticing enough. Yep. Sure is. Sixty years ago.
So this is all about unregulated dumping of radioactive materials. Don't tell me. Gojira fed on these. Yes, that's the DOE's conclusion.
They sent requests to various institutions to analyze what exactly had been held in those containers.
Goromaki was on staff at one who responded. According to him, this thing wasn't just an ancient species of marine life. But now, one also surrounded by radioactive waste. Exposure didn't kill this creature.
but mutated it into an entirely new life form. And that is his Godzilla theory. But it's continuing to mutate since its body lengthened and changed after it came ashore. Yes. It can somehow mutate itself to live both on land and sea.
I have to admit its capabilities far surpass anything I could ever imagine. This is all the information at my disposal. What comes next? Personal service.
This is what Goromaki left behind? I can't make sense of it. This thing's not a molecular array.
So how does it relate to Gojira? Well, perhaps it's an analytical table, one with structural layers. Even though Maki intentionally left out some final data in his original hypothesis, we now have the complete version we can study.
We'd like to analyze that info. Can we do that? Sure. I'm bad at Japanese honorifics, so can we be informal? In that case...
Can you tell me what it is that the U.S. wants with Gojira? Capture or kill? That's for the president to decide. Who is it that decides in your country?
So the cabinet finally made a decision on the relief and recovery bill? If you thought that was an inter-agency nightmare, wait until the Gojita bill. I guarantee a lack of precedence going to cloud orders. And I bet you can expect a lot of passing the buck to happen.
I can't believe it. The security bill passed so easily. Foreign ministry muscle. And the U.S. pressure of course- From what I've been told about that deal, the U.S. wants to use its Godzilla info as a diplomatic card.
Well, if that's the case, let's pray that 8 Akasaka can handle the White House. Based on all the analysis we've done, I can positively say that these gamma rays match no known elements whatsoever. It's unprecedented.
Gojira, is it? Its body is harboring new elements that are unknown to science. Well, this certainly explains why the U.S. Department of Energy moved so quickly. Take this data with us. Call the PM. Break. Understood. This is going to complicate things. So...
How much do we say? Having fully analyzed substances recovered from its path, we can confirm the following. In the stricken area, radiation has risen to 0.5 sieverts, but it's not... Thanks for the food. Yes, thank you.
Even with this new information the US agreed to share with us, I still think we can expect some gridlock. Yeah, Rickon's report had impact, but in addition to that, Gojira has eight times the amount of genetic info of humans. It's literally going to take us years to sequence all of that genetic material.
I think we can agree Gogeta is the most evolved creature this planet has ever seen. Capable of self-mutation to best fit the environment that it's in. That trumps human intelligence. It's still mortal, though. So it can be killed.
I sure hope so. That is exactly what we're all here to find out, Professor. Well, does anyone have any clues into its behavior? All it does is walk. One thing I don't understand. Why did it return to Tokyo Bay? That's it for calling.
Gojira has something akin to a nuclear reactor in its body, and its fins must serve as heat vents.
And if that is indeed the case, then its blood more than likely serves as the body's cooling system. I get it. You're saying that it temporarily retrogressed a sea creature so it could adjust its body temperature after mutating, huh? Maybe our only hope is to try and find a way to shut it down, its internal cooling system.
system, that is. Then not only would we need to force Gojira to shut off its internal reactor to stay alive, but also find a way to cool its blood down and so much so that we can immobilize the creature. Just as a suggestion.
What about administering a blood coagulating drug? Wait, is that even possible with Gojira Upright? We'll investigate a few practical methods. Perhaps a compression pump system like this. We, the health ministry and METI, will gather all of the necessary coagulant and equipment that will be required for-
this off we're submitting this to the prime minister as the yagoji plan understood name aside let's get to it sir all right so now we have some protests happening and we cut to like all the people working on dealing with godzilla and everyone's exhausted
and sleeping. Then they kind of have a nice feel-good moment the next day of everyone working together and actually doing things and not arguing and trying to defeat the common interest of this horrible thing that's happening to them. But now Godzilla's back.
there's panic in the streets. Uh, Godzilla has now is even bigger now and they are figuring he has evolved into his fourth form. Uh, he will reach Tokyo in three hours.
We have a council meeting, and that is our next clip. Armed assault on its body has potential risks, namely the release of radioactive materials into the surrounding region. So preventing it from reaching the metro area, that must be our top priority, in my opinion.
I hear this thing lives on radioactive material. If this Gojira were to attack a nuclear facility, the disaster would be far worse. Sir, we must stop it and stop it now. That's right. And also because if we don't, we'll be viewed overseas as timid.
How is your Yaguchi plan coming along? Regrettably, it's not ready yet.
All you have to do is give the order and the SDF will do its job. A state of emergency is still in effect, so the only one who can order and attack is you, and you alone. Well, sir? I know. Commence attack! Right away, sir.
Contact command. Right. The Prime Minister has just ordered an attack. We've been given unrestricted weapon use. With this directive, we must do whatever it takes to prevent Gojira from reaching Tokyo. So plan B if it goes to Kanagawa? Yes.
We'll make Kawasaki the primary battleground. Are we clear on that? Yes, sir. And the Tama River will be our absolute defense line.
Let's go kill that thing. All right. So the choppers attack and tanks attack. They're firing everything they got. It has no effect on Godzilla at all. Throughout the attack, Godzilla actually launches a piece of bridge and it destroys.
the command post for everyone was at. This all leads to our next clip. The target's breached the defense line. Our defensive position has collapsed entirely.
Sir, that creature. It's still within artillery range. Let's continue the assault. We can't. Those wards still aren't fully evacuated yet. Sorry, but I'm afraid that's all we can do. Understood. We'll suspend the operation.
We couldn't stop it. Sorry, sir. Don't lose hope. It's our job to protect the people here. An offensive isn't the only way.
Speed up the evacuation. The operation failed and Gojira is once again on the move. The SDF's full power was futile against it. That thing's self-preservation ability is amazing. Standard weapons won't take it down. That's why we're here, remember?
An organism that surpasses man in every way. The target's been sighted. Entering Meguro Ward. Sir.
Let's petition the U.S. for military aid in taking it down. It's our only choice. Sir, I just heard from the USAF. They've confirmed that a squadron of stealth bombers is already en route.
Submit a formal cooperation request to the U.S. I'm on my way to meet with the ambassador. With your authorization, I'll hold a press conference on this subject.
and so we've requested aid by u.s forces inviting gojira based on the japan u.s security which all right that's the end of that 30 minutes before we go into the next
I also feel like there is some scathing anger towards the treaties that require that Japan not have its own defense forces a little bit in that last clip in that sequence. Yeah.
ask for permission, and then they get help from the US with the stealth bombers, which we haven't actually seen.
what help they provide just yet. But it's kind of odd just to make sure to point that out and to add that extra piece that's like, instead of like where we had other Godzilla movies where the JDF has their own jets, they have their own super jets, they have their own...
sci-fi versions of jets but this is a new take on godzilla who just emerges in 2016 so they don't have any of that and they still don't have the ability to defend themselves or their own jets um apparently for their defense forces so yeah no i mean they have
Some they have tack choppers, they have tanks and stuff, but I don't know what their, their, their, their, uh, air force looks like. Uh, but I also know that they, you know, Japan does take a long stance of, you know, being pacifists after world war two.
You have two nukes dropped on you. You're looking never to have any war ever again, pretty much. Yeah, so they have ground and defense forces. And that's why...
They work with the United States because the United States took up their protection in exchange because...
Of course, then the Japanese decided to focus more on technology and everything. If they share that, we provide protection to them and they provide land so we could build military bases and have a presence in that area. So it was a kind of give and take.
But yeah, so they didn't build up a giant military because we are kind of their military. Right. It's partly because of the treaty and then also partly because of, like you just said, they wanted to be pacifists. So they worked it out. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yep, yep.
Thanks for that history lesson. I know that's one of the many things that I can count on you for on this show. That is true. I think that's going to be a good part for us to have the break there. Let's move on to the next 30 because we're halfway through the movie now, so let's move on. We're halfway there.
So Godzilla is fucking shit up again. And the U.S. is getting ready to bomb him. We cut back to the Prime Minister, and that is our next clip. This residence is directly in Ojira's path, sir.
And since the SDF failed to stop this thing, the US military might fail too. You're saying that we should evacuate? Yes.
Both you and the entire cabinet. For the nation to function, you need to leave for the secondary facility in Sachikawa quickly. Just as the U.S. strike is about to begin, now I have a duty to stay and monitor its execution.
And besides that, I can't abandon the citizens here. You must leave. Remember, you have an entire nation to protect, but you can't do that if you're dead, sir. So please evacuate. Tokyo City Hall is still functioning.
So for right now, please let the governor take charge. Very well. Sir, two choppers will be on the roof. My group will travel there by car. Okay, get going.
I'm sure it'll take some time. Traffic is going to be murder. We'll see you there. Right. We'll get moving.
All right. So, uh, The U.S. bombs Godzilla and actually causes Godzilla some pain. You see, actually, it breaks into his back a bit and blood spurts out.
But then Godzilla evolves again and finds his atomic breath. It is more horrifying than it's ever been. He fairly well nukes the city.
He actually has purple glowing shit shoot out of his back, destroying all the stealth bombers.
uh it's like rays are coming out of his mouth and his back he's like he is literally nuking the city destroys i don't know how many city blocks uh and his mouth opens up it's like uh the predator now or uh the vampires in blaze
Blade 3. 2. Or 2. Blade 2. Sorry. Well, they're like that in Blade 3, but it starts in Blade 2. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So the nuke, it's horrifying. It's...
It's just really fucking bad. He wipes out a few city blocks.
Then the lasers out of his back catch the prime minister's chopper as it's taking off, destroying it, killing the prime minister. And this all leads to our next super long clip.
Yeah, sorry about this, everybody. Again, I'm going to try and cut it down as best I can, but this is how we show now. For their safety, people are urged to remain indoors for at least another 49 hours. How much radiation the creature has released on Tokyo?
Due to the attack, expect emergency services to be severely delayed. Radioactivity is high. Will the government distribute iodine? These are urging residents to drink only bottled water. Killer biological and chemical response teams are being deployed throughout the city.
A government spokesperson stated that these teams will arrive in all effect... Prime Minister, Cabinet Secretary, and five ministers are still missing at this hour, and presumed dead after their helicopter was blown from the... Police Headquarters and two ministries still remain in touch...
The best way I can just describe what I'm looking at right now is Apocalypse.
It's almost like looking at the historic photos of Hiroshima and Nagasaki after the bombs were dropped. But then you realize what you're staring at is actually right in front of you. The number of refugees left homeless in the city are estimated to be in the millions. And that number is rising every hour.
Government officials are racing to select an acting PM to fill the political vacuum created by the tragic events of last night. With the PM residents still in the path of danger, government headquarters are being moved to Tachikawa City, several miles from the city center.
be a safer location for the government's base of operations.
Yeah, only for one reason. It's because I went home on Friday night. That's the sole thing that saved me. Hey, do you know that you're bleeding? You okay? Sorry. They said bandages were in short supply. I know. Everything is.
Tokyo is directing fire and rescue. We have no internal ministry. Let the police handle refugees. We're working on it, okay? I'll have to hold out for one more night. Rumors will fly, so get on the press now. I need information now. Where's Gojira?
It's inactive near Tokyo Station. And the reason for that, who knows why. And radiation levels? The Nuclear Regulation Authority. They're out getting readings right now.
They did inform me earlier that radiation is dripping from Gojira's mouth, but it's only trace amounts. Gojira's radioactive plume blew out to sea, but contamination is still widespread. So then the hardest hit areas aren't just uninhabitable now.
They're contaminated as well. Yeah, conditions are about as dire as they can get. We're lacking in manpower, materials, and even political infrastructure. They're all dead. The Prime Minister and the Chief Cabinet Secretary. Everyone who was on the evac... Don't go to...
We'll just make do with the few staff that's left! Yaguchi, calm down first, okay? I'm sorry. Who's been made the acting PM? The ruling party has just announced that Minister of Agriculture Yusuke Satomi has been named as Acting Prime Minister.
He'll add the professional emergency government that has been quickly set up, and has stated that his first order of business will be to name a new cabinet to fill the political void. So then, the agricultural minister is now the prime minister because of his seniority? That's who they chose? But why him?
Well, I heard the job was foisted on him by the party's secretary. Can you blame them? Who wants responsibility at a time like this? What should we do about the disturbing movement near Tsushima Island? Well, I suppose we'll just have to wait and see.
Can the Foreign Ministry act? We're still getting up and running right now, sir. But soon. Well, at any rate, try to avoid any unforeseen surprises. Right. I'll let the ambassador know. Ah, noodles got soggy.
I knew this job wasn't going to be easy, but come on. Yeah, that guy. He's a hard man to read. Whoever the PM is, it's our job to keep the government afloat. We need emergency powers.
I know. We're 30 kilometers from where Gojira sleeps. Scary, huh? I'm more concerned about something else right at the moment. The decisions that will be made to stop Gojira by the acting PM. You want his job? Not right now.
But maybe in 10 years. You have Japan still around then. You should run for office. I'll help you. In exchange for a nice cabinet position. Akasaka was Yokota last night, so he survived.
Every politician needs two things, strategy and luck. He has both, and now he's Chief Cabinet Secretary. You could be more ambitious like him yet.
The Disaster Bureau is still a unique pathway. Just think about it. You're practically in charge of this group here. No, I'm not. I'm here to take the fall if needed. Akasaka is a shrewd delegator.
If anyone gets a career boost from this, that person's going to be you. What exactly is wrong with that? If you don't like politicians, why'd you become one? Because it's just friend or foe. Excuse me, sir. You're a member.
I'm so happy to see you all. Over half our team has returned to duty. Thank you. Our hearts are broken over all those we've lost. Let's do this for them. Honor their sacrifice. We're all hurting. But I assure you that together, we can and will prevail.
For our country's sake, I ask you, please pour your hearts and souls into completing our work. I beg you. Well, let's get to it. Yes, sir.
Chief Mori? Yes? Where are we with the freezing plan? At the moment, we've got several private companies formulating 24 different blood pro coagulants using silica, thrombin, and other agents you'll see here in these specs.
We're hoping at least one of them will work. What about samples? We've asked GSDF for some living samples and they're retrieving them now as we speak. Roger that. Samples retrieved. Orders?
I'm requesting that some be sent directly to BSL-4 labs. Very good. Send the remainder to any P-3 level lab and it doesn't matter if it's a public or private one. But sir, these samples are government classified substances. I know, but we need diverse info on Gojira.
No change to radiation levels. They're still reading below one Siebert. Still sleeping. And apparently storing radiation in its belly.
Ship change. Let's go. Yes, Gaguchi. It's me. I'm arriving in five minutes. Secure a meeting with the acting prime minister. So then, you wish to provide us with something to assist in our fight. Is that correct? Yes. There is a movement centered on China and Russia.
take Godzilla from under the control of the Japanese government and put it under the control of international organizations. Many countries are aligned with that opinion too. However, as for the US government, we strongly hope that Japan and the US can perfectly control Godzilla together.
Okay. From the government's point of view, it is for that reason we would agree to a 2 plus 2 cooperation. However, as army experts, we remain as the backbone of the government. We have to respectfully decline your offer to remain at the center of the decision. In place of that, we'll see.
US, Japan, Gogeta Research Coalition? The way I see it, the more knowledge, the better. Let's clear some space. Nice to meet you. I'm Rondo Yagochi. This is from the GSDF's latest unmanned surveillance system. It froze shortly after the attack.
Same as the D2 simulation. Just as I thought. It appears that Godzilla has something like a built-in feast array radar. If so, then that means it can instinctively detect and intercept any approaching objects.
Squad 2, this is CB1. Five minutes from point zero. Ten minutes remain. Over. Copy that, CB1. Over. After cross-referencing the field data with Sukumaz, I believe we've discovered how Gojira plans to prop him. Sure.
Abilities like these, it could rapidly colonize the entire world. Its body can evolve, make itself smaller, or even sprout wings capable of flight. Let's go.
And that will mark the end of the human race. Before that happens, using our nuclear wisdom is the only road to salvation for mankind.
Are you serious? I'm not really supposed to be sharing this info, but the Defense Secretary wants to use a warhead against Godzilla. What did the White House say? Yes, because there's now a 13% chance of Godzilla landing on the West Coast. The UN's ready to move.
and the Security Council has set up a multinational strike force. The US is serious. Afraid so.
They say that to end the threat of Godzilla, a nuclear missile is the only weapon that could kill it. The missile they're going to use is the B-83, which is 75 times stronger than the bomb that was dropped on Hiroshima. They're dropping that on Tokyo? Well, I was ordered to evacuate.
I see. So it's highly likely, isn't it? Yes. But I don't want to be here for it. I won't see a third bomb dropped on the homeland of my grandmother.
She lived through the last two. We have no choice. Not what the way things are now. Tell them yes. Certainly. We will act accordingly that way, President Ross. Well, you heard it.
It isn't the first time something crazy has been foisted on us. That's for certain.
This goes too far! I agree. Get the Chief Cabinet Secretary. A resolution has just been passed by the United Nations Security Council granting a U.S.-led force.
To exterminate Godira. As a party to that and participant, we must obey it and its tenets. To do that, the PM needs to be vested with full powers so I can authorize...
nuclear strike. Isn't there some other way? Think of the devastation it will cause to Tokyo. I never imagined that I'd go down in history for something such as this. Yogachi, from here on out...
Gojira comes under US-led UN jurisdiction. Post-war Japan is a tributary state. Post-war extends forever, huh? This is a bad choice. No matter how enormous Gojira is, I doubt it can withstand the million-degree heat of a nuke as a method of extermination.
It's our only viable option right now. My team and I are on the verge of a breakthrough.
With our freezing method. There are still too many unknowns with that plan of yours. Besides, multiple nations have pledged their support to assist us with a complete rebuilding effort. Provided to sign on, of course. Despite our best efforts, we can't destroy Gojira on our own. So if this nation is to...
survive. We have no choice but to put our fate in the UN's hands. I have to understand.
I have to look ahead. Think about what's best for a post-Gorjira Japan. Damage is limited to just three wards. But if we allow this strike, if it happens, that number will multiply. The city's economy is currently in a free fall. Bonds and stocks are plummeting. And if we can't put a stop to this soon...
The nation will go into default on all of its loans. For that reason, Japan needs international funding in order to survive. So scrap and rebuild, huh? To save Japan, there isn't any other way. Yaguchi, this is the reality. All else is just a dream.
What? They're going to use a thermonuclear missile? And drop that thing here? The government just gave the UN its sanction to do so. It's insane. There's still so much we don't know. Gojira might even be immortal.
Two choices, incinerated with a nuke, freezing with you.
drug. I guess we do have two choices here. Both of them. Man is more frightening to me than Vegeta. If we're to do something, we have to do it quickly. The UN will be giving time for evacuation. That's our window for finishing the freezing plan. Okay. We got good results on a coagulant.
and formulating it is one thing, and producing it is another. To freeze all of Gojira's blood, we've estimated we'll need 672 kiloliters of coagulant. I'm trying to secure facilities for that now. What if we can't? We have to do it! Don't give up! Our country is depending on us all!
every chemical company you know contact them now and ask them to open every line possible you will thank you i'm sending all pertinent data to you right now and please let everyone know that we need production finished by tomorrow with the latest
Cross-checking's complete by all the groups we've reached out to. Well, well. I guess spreading knowledge works. We're still working on logistics for police and MLIT to ship the coagulant. I can handle that.
But I need METI to coordinate with the pump makers. Hey, I was just told that if we agree to buy them, Shanghai will give three tanker trucks to us. Any size. Yes, that's correct. We still need five more wheel loaders.
We have news, sir. Ambassador Lansing relayed coalition projections. According to current readings, Fujita's energy beam will be restored.
previous levels in 360 hours. That means the creature is likely to resume activity again in 15 days.
The start time for the nuclear strike against Godzilla has been decided. Countdown will begin in five minutes. So it's too late to turn back down. Japan has been given a two-week race period in order to...
evacuate remaining residents. That may seem long for allied forces, but it's too short for Japan. What they ask, that we somehow evacuate millions of people from their homes, is far easier said than done.
I agree. But 3.6 million people? That's insane. We don't have the manpower for a job that size. What about the millions more in neighboring prefectures? What are we doing about them? The governor protests the sacrifice of Tokyo. Look, this is a national decision, not a municipal one.
Got it? But sir, relocating that many people in two weeks is impossible.
We can't do it. For the sake of all those people's lives, you have to. The moment Gojira stirs, the strike is going to be moved up. We don't want people here when that happens. Regardless of collateral damage, a thermonuclear missile will be launched from a sub at that time, as per the coalition's decision.
Ridiculous. It's easy for them to stay with us in far-off Asia. They told me they'd do the same. Gojira would have surfaced in. Please proceed in an orderly fashion, and if you're traveling with children, please hold their hands.
Land prices are soaring in West Japan. It's short. Kanto area shops and businesses have all been shuttered. And the city's fully unemployed. The end's plunged, of course. Investors are scared. Except those profiting from it. People come in all forms. Good and bad.
so did you uncover anything of course i did that is my job after all i use it in an article i'm hoping can be published on the day prior to the bomb drop some new gojita material in exchange
We can control the announcement timing. How's that sound? It sounds very good. So Goromaki hated the radiation sickness that took his wife's life with every fiber of his being. He hoped to find a way to render radioactive materials harmless.
Well, if something like that could be possible, then so too could the creation of new material. He must have feared the military would use it. That certainly would explain why he redacted the DOE data. Professor Maki hated radioactive materials.
possibly even anyone or anything who worked with them. That includes Japan, which left his wife to die. But then he leaves his data with a note that says do as you please. What a strange guy. But just what did Maki do?
Thank you for this meal. Solved the chart yet? No, not even with the help of a brilliant cryptographer who came highly recommended. Can you hear anything from the US?
I don't think we can rely on them too much. Not right now. We've taken a multi-tiered approach to try and decipher Maki's info, but it's bizarre. This chemical schematic is quite confusing. Resembles a mandala.
I've even tried working backwards from the solution and I still can't figure it out. This Maki. Was the man insane? Even I'm baffled by these lines. Why'd he put it on paper instead of an electronic file? Perhaps.
It's meant to be folded. You know, with a lot of us eating now, it makes me wonder about Gojira there. Do you think that it gets hungry? No doubt. Yeah, but look, the thing's got some really crooked teeth. It can't even prey on nuclear waste.
Origami. It's not eaten. We finally figured out the entire pattern. This new information came from Mickey folds, just like an origami. What we've done is focus on radiation as its energy.
When the schematics fold it, it's a molecular chart for converting elements in the body. Gojira's body has molecules that can do this, and the proof of this is in the unknown radioactive isotope. I'm sure of it.
The way it works is when either hydrogen or nitrogen enters the body, it's converted into the necessary molecules. Gojura is a myxotroph with an organ that converts decaying heat into the energy that sustains it. That's my hypothesis. Questions?
It can live anywhere where there's water or oxygen, huh? So basically everywhere. What you're saying is that Gojira is not only a threat to mankind, but also an organism that could potentially be indestructible?
Is that right? If the latter's true, we have no certainty the coagulant will be effective once it's inside Gojito's body.
Killing the Yaguchi plan. Yeah, possibly. So what now? We raised the certainty of it working through a series of tests. Exactly. And the first thing we'll do is analyze this structure, top to bottom.
I've already got supercomputers running parallel analysis, but results are still several weeks away, I've been told. But we only have 10 days left, Yasuda. No, that's why I've asked MEXT to use their global connections. A call from Japan.
Request a paralogal computer on anything about the good shit that creature. Tell them there's a simple setting, but there is way we can do that since ours is a closed system. And a private way wanted that. We just can't risk our data being stolen. Oh, calm down. That is a muscle.
And that's the end of that 30 minutes before we go to the final. You needed to clip all of that. I wouldn't want to write any of that down. It's literally all of the plans.
everything they're trying to do and all of the plans and all of the discussions that they have to do. And just, again, showing you just the inaction and the inability of government to do anything and how that stresses everyone out, including yourself, watching them do this.
When you're in the room with them making the decisions that are so frustrating. That's the real horror, more so than the misshapen monster that's everywhere. Yeah, it's dealing with the bureaucracy. Exactly. And the government.
you
It's horrifying. Yeah, we can move on. All right, the final 30. Let's do it. So here we go. They solve the older scientist's puzzle in our next clip. Hey, we've done it!
We've solved Maki's riddle! Here, look! See? Incredible. You see there? It's not the cell membrane itself, but an extremophile configuration that inhibits cell membrane activity. You understand?
This inhibitor could mean the blood coagulant plan is still a viable option, and one that might actually work. It looks good. Okay. I get the feeling.
Maki anticipated this. Maybe he saw the arrival of Gojira as a test. One for mankind. The world. And of course, Japan. Does his do-as-you-please include nuclear weapons? Maybe so. Do as you please, right? You know...
That's a pretty hard thing to do in this country. Yeah, if you're alone. Sir, I'm happy to announce that we've managed to iron out the last kinks in the Yaguchi plan. We ask your approval to deploy it. I'm sorry, Izumi, but the UN resolution has already passed.
Some say the U.S. seeks a quick resolution for one primary reason, and that's to bury their knowledge of Gojira. Of course, and we already know that. And you know the condition that our country is in. All due respect.
Why let other nations blow our country up when we could save it? What you're saying is, the fate of our country, it would be best guided by our own hands. Perhaps...
It's time that Japan did as it pleased. Yes, you're right. So, my stamp, where do I affix it? Once the coagulant has been administered, it's strategized.
The blood will freeze and render the creature immobile as a result. Wordy, I know. You have a name for this plan?
Yashiori after the legendary sake that fell to Hydra. Very well. We'll run this op in five phases. Akasaka worked out the details. Requested vehicles have all been prepped.
Plus, explosive drills have been conducted, and quite successfully, I might add. Forces are execution ready. I owe you thanks. No, you don't. It's our job.
There's a message in there about maybe Japan should start, you know, making its own decisions for once. Yeah, right. Let Americans do it. We don't have that great of a, you know, reputation, I guess. Nor should we. Nor should we.
The scientists need an extra day to get the stuff to freeze Godzilla. So they get help from the French to try to postpone the bombing run, the nuke run. Then we cut to the lady who is from the United States.
And she's with the president in our next clip. ...to interrupt the countdown. China and Russia are opposed, but we're maintaining silence. That's because it isn't just hardliners at the nucleus of Washington and the Pentagon.
Japan has grown up enough to have international trade deals on the sly. Danger is another opportunity for personal growth. Our friends are progressing with an effective deep freeze plan. I think this country is betting on it.
And you're raising that bet also, I see. Nuclear weapons are a deterrent. I've been trying to advise Charles against it, but it goes against the flow of the mainstream. And you and I must bear the risk of retaliation.
Me, I'm okay. But you, with your fastidious career and the Batterson name, Mud, will stick. And your dream of becoming president in your 40s will disappear. Hey, Kayoko, good luck. Yeah.
Joint strategy, huh? Our countries can raise the chance of success by partnering up. The U.S. will give my plan a shot? Gotta admit I'm surprised. Well, it helps to have me as a friend.
Whatever you need, I can get, whether it's vehicles or technology. Even drones if you need them. So, what do you say? I'm in. But there is no guarantee of them coming back in one piece. Of course. I'll build the Japanese government later.
We were able to finish the number of inhibitors that you needed. That's right. You can send over the tankers to pick them up. They're done. We have material and coagulant. Everything will be operation ready in a few hours. You can give HQ the green light. Yaguchi.
Are you sure you won't reconsider accompanying the frontline troops? I have to be there because a political decision might be needed.
And if so, I have to make it. It's still risky. Directing from the rear is safer. Don't you want to be the PM in 10 years? If we're not able to pull this off, there may not be a country left by then. If I don't make it, there are lots of others who can take my place. Such as you. You'd make a great leader.
You've kept me going through this. Thank you. Don't thank me. Thank Akasaka's mentoring. Good luck. Thanks. Now go save this country.
Yeah, go save this country. All right. So he gives a pet talk to the troops and they start the attack in Godzilla. First, they use a lot of drones and missiles and stuff, and it knocks them out. Then they get all the juice into his mouth.
get about 25% in before he wakes up and destroys the first team. So then they send in train bombs, like a whole bunch of bombs on their subway trains.
And they all run into him and they knock him out again. He falls again, this time to get a hundred percent of the juice into Godzilla. He rises. So it looks like it didn't work. But then after he rises, he freezes.
This leads to our final clip. Come and look at this survey data. Gojira's new isotope has a half-life of 20 days. Then halved again a month from now. It'll be gone in two to three years. Right.
That's good news for the residents of Tokyo. Thank goodness. Good work. Yaguchi, I've been told that the Satomi cabinet will soon be resigning en masse. All in line with your scenario, correct? Wasn't mine.
This was all Satomi's scenario. The capital and the government are in shambles right now. It's a good opportunity to rebuild it right. And speaking of which...
Once the relief and reconstruction bills have been passed, the event that will happen afterwards is the next election. To resuscitate Japan and its 3.6 million refugees, we'll need a new leader and a new cabinet.
This country was devastated before, but it rose from the ashes. It'll do so again. The countdown was only suspended, but it'll restart if Godzilla begins moving again.
Nuclear weapons will be used if that happens. I'm really amazed you agreed to that. Well, I had to keep the world satisfied. Now Japan, no.
All mankind must coexist with Kojira. So you shared the data with France? Yes, with France. And the entire world. But still, I regret nothing.
I like this by any means approach of yours. Therefore, don't quit. When I'm president of the U.S., you'll be ideal as my Japanese counterpart. You're a Japanese puppet, you mean. The fact remains...
That casualties were high. And accountability comes with this job. A politician must decide whether to own it or not. I myself choose to own it. Well, like Maki said...
Do as you please. I guess now's not the time to quit. Because things aren't settled. Not yet, at least. All right. So, after all that ends, we get a view of Frozen Godzilla.
And it goes to his tail. And we see that he was starting to splinter into numerous different creatures from the tail right before being frozen. So they thankfully got that done.
Yeah, that's not nightmare-inducing to see that horrifically solidified stone version of mini-Godzillas coming off of giant fucking big Godzilla.
Yeah, that was, uh, that was horrifying. Yeah, really was. And see that. And then roll cred.
Thank you.
CIM!
Cinema Psyops. End!
Holy shit, yeah. The ending there is something that they really took a bold choice in that this Godzilla was just this weird, constantly mutating, uncontrollable DNA that would...
basically break apart and then reform so it's like a godzilla version of destroyer or something along those lines in the 90s where there was these like
Creatures that would reform together to form a giant version to fight Godzilla and then break up to go off and do other things and just, you know, do mini destruction and then come back together. And to think that they would do that with a Godzilla where it could break off.
into like these little mini xenomorph sized versions of godzilla that just go griefing the whole city yikes what if i mean what if it like they even talked about grew wings right he could be a flying fucking godzilla
It just starts really just sprouting off and mutating into all of this horrible stuff and it never stops. It just keeps changing until it dominates the planet.
fucking horrifying yeah i can see where if you really really get into all the ideas and that's the godzilla that you're going to gravitate towards i can see why you would really like this one because this is one of the most horrifying versions to think about for godzilla of all
time it's like lovecraftian and it's a nightmare where you're just like what the fuck is this yeah it's it's it's pure nightmare fuel but a lot of fun a good movie yeah yeah it's it's an excellent flick and having this come back in 20
after final wars and the depression that was final wars and the letdown that was final wars i'm just gonna fucking say it you'll see it when you see it we'll do commentaries on it it'll be fine um but
You know, this really kind of brought us all back and made us feel good about Godzilla again. And it's definitely an upgrade from what we had at the very end of the Millennium series. So I have no complaints, no extra notes. One of the things that I didn't notice was...
that a lot of the CG really tried to emulate how the model worked looked when some of the buildings were collapsing on Godzilla. One of the solutions to knock out Godzilla was let's just drop buildings on him.
Over and over and over again. And yes, like they're just constantly blowing shit up and dropping it on them. And a lot of those, they made them look like they do in the model work. And there's plenty of scenes where the Godzilla looks like he's there, but the uncanny valley nature.
of how he looks also looks like a suit and it looks like a suit that's composited in so when it doesn't look right but it also still looks like it's somewhat there like it would be a suit actor I don't know how they did that with the compositing but it was really
tricking my eye in a lot of scenes where it felt like that this was actually still a suit actor like a few of the things like it felt like that they were compositing it in the ways that they used to with Godzilla and I was really happy to feel that way
You know what I mean? Like it helped me press the I believe button because there was a few sequences where while it didn't look like it was truly a giant monster there, it still at least looked like the pseudamation stuff that I love that it was composited in. And that was enough for me.
me to make me happy there you go yeah see and i thought i thought yeah that uh you know there was good shit yeah i i didn't have any notes on any of this it was uh it was uh i've loved the effects uh the the destruction uh
was really good. So yeah, I've got no notes. A little wordy, a little wordy of a movie. Probably could have been an hour and a half, but hey, I'm good. I think the reason that they made it the two hours was to drill home the frustration of the inaction of the government.
And it's, I think so. Yeah. Ballsy fucking move to do that for your narrative to make you get frustrated with the movie, but it works. Completely. Yeah. Cause you get like, Oh my God, are you guys going to do anything? Yeah. Because they don't. Absolutely.
So, all right, it's been a while and you kind of already had a story time, but do you have another story time that you can do if we actually take the break for one? I actually don't. All right, well, I will. I kind of just did my story time. Can we take what I said?
at the beginning but at the end no no i got it i got you actually i have a story time of seeing this in theater so
Oh, all right. When we come back, I will tell the story time of seeing Shin Godzilla in the theaters in 2016. Immediately following this on the Pirate Radio Edit, also released in 2016, or at least on the Billboard Top 100, El King with the song X's and O's.
following that we'll have my story
K-U-N-T. Stop being woke. Causing this AI to spout white supremacist jargon was a way for Zevin to soothe himself from the revelation that he had just handed over numerous recordings that would prove his guilt and negligence.
on nearly all accounts of pending litigation. Why is there a Babs voice doing expository dialogue in the portal? Why is everything so fucking stupid here? Don't tell me you were actually dumb enough to record yourself confessing to...
crimes and negligence only to hand it over to people who were more than likely plaintiffs in a case against you. What's the plan after that? You gonna just deny it ever existed? Maybe start a random war to distract everyone? It's very confusing when the...
recorder has started versus when it has stopped. That's why I had them program the Babs voice to tell me when I am recording or not. I have no idea where the woke monologuing one even comes from. Most recording devices have a little red light that flashes when you're paused, but set up for...
Recording and it's solid red with a big counter when you're recording.
Oh, I just realized I actually have two different stories that I could tell for story time. So I'm not going to comment on Elking until we get to my story time.
Story time!
Story time. Okay. So the first story time that I actually have is the only time that I've ever gotten to see Elking live was very, very recently. And what a disappointment it was.
Really? Yeah. So Bev bought the tickets and Elle King had recently done a turn in the style of music that she was performing and went from the more soulful, like R&B kind of pop.
beat-flavored music that she was doing to country. Oh, yeah. When that happened, we unfortunately got tickets for that specific tour after that took place. And I went there hoping to see the El King that...
I have heard stories of in the previous years with the R&B flavor to everything. And instead, I was treated talking with the...
ultra country music flavor to everything that was still kind of poppy at the same time so it was like pop country music and uh yeah two hours standing on cement new boots that hadn't been broken in yet so the soles were still you know hard sold
shoe not broken in and back hurting all the hell and i heard x's and o's performed country music style and i just don't know if i wanted to leave
That sounds terrible. Yeah, it was really sad. It made me feel sad inside. I didn't like the turn, and I just was like, this is the only time I was going to see, and I don't think I'm ever going to get the R&B version back, and now I'm going to be having this memory.
Every time I hear this song of his performance. So there's my first story. Yeah. Yay. There you go.
Yay! Okay, Shin Godzilla got released briefly in theaters here in 2016. It had a very, very small run. Luckily, one of the places that it was playing was here in Omaha at the local Alamo Draft House.
I bought two tickets because I didn't want to go by myself. I was going to take Bev, but something ended up happening in 2016. I can't recall exactly what it was, but she had to go away and take care of something.
She wasn't able to make it to the film. And there was a friend of a friend who, you know, was basically looking to try and make some other friends that was like, hey, I'll go with you. So we went and saw Shin Godzilla together. It was a total blast.
I went and picked this person up or they met me at the house. I can't remember which. So we drove my, at the time I had a Chevy Cobalt, I think, out to the Alamo draft house, which was, you know, quite a drive. It's what, like 15, 20 minute drive.
on the highway to get there. On a good day, you could probably do it in 10 if you're speedy. We get to the Alamo, we pull up, and I'm like, man, my car smells like gas.
And he's like, yeah, it does. I was like, it's really bad. And I'm like, yeah, it is. And so I look under my car and my fuel line or my fuel tank or something is dripping. There's something leaking out of the bottom of my car and it's leaking gas. And I'm like, well, we're already here.
He's like, you don't want to go take care of it. I'm like, it's night. There's nothing open anyway. I was like, I'm going to run out of gas and I'll be able to drive home where I won't. I was like, we'll see what happens. So we go in, we watch Shin Godzilla. We eat at the Alamo Draft House.
Oh, we're there because, you know, you can get dinner and everything. And it's a total blast. The movie is what it is. And, you know, it's a little queasy-fying because when it's on the big screen right in front of you in Alamo and you're trying to eat, it's very disorienting. A lot of these sequences in the shots and the buildings.
Yeah, that's a fact.
Looked incredible too, by the way. Yeah, it looked terrific. We finish up and then I realized that I lost a good portion of gas, but I still have enough to get me home and back where this person can pick up their car and go. So I drive us all the way back to my house and I'm just...
hoping that no one throws out a cigarette or that anything sparks anywhere near me and I'm on the highway and then I'm like I don't even know what I'm going to do with my driveway you know but then I get it home and then I
I basically set up an appointment online with my mechanic the next day. And then I go and get the... My fuel line went bad and the whole fuel line had to be replaced. But it was a special fuel line that was like this metal piece that was bent specifically to fit.
So I had to pay even more because I guess GM when I got that fuel line replaced. But that is one of the things that will always be with me about the screening of Shin Godzilla was the fuel line leaking that happened.
The fuel line exploded. Yeah. And unfortunately, the person that I went to go see Shin Godzilla with ended up not being very good to the friend that was trying to help him make other friends. So that person gets edited out of the story like they didn't exist. Oh, wow. Damn.
Alright.
That's how it'd be sometimes. Just like how it'd be. That's how it'd be sometimes. Just like how it'd be when I got to play our show housekeeping. And immediately following that, to close out the show, we're going to go ahead and play 21 Pilots with a double header. Up first will be the song Stressed Out, which was also released in 2016.
just like Shin Godzilla. And when we come back, we will close out this fucking show.
If you've decided. And the big sign that says recording is a dead fucking giveaway. Recording lights are woke. Oh, but having your robo-mommy babs tell you when to start and stop recording isn't woke. Is woke a...
word you used to just like reduce things and make you feel better about being small and inadequate or is it simply everything you just don't understand i don't have time for your mind virus propagation it's time to put him in the witch
I am too fucking tired from trying to comprehend all of your fucking idiotic shit. Actually commenting on naming your low quality replicant concentra- Cretan camp bullshit, you fucking brown shirt cunt!
We are the one interconnected mind. We are the wall of which... I'm an individual. 1985. Mark Jacko Jackson. Two minutes, 39 seconds. Ignore the old-timer. He refuses to join the...
that we all meant to be one in the wall of witch. Look, I just woke up in some kind of stasis pod into a reality where nothing is real and everything is some kind of poorly written storyline.
Top of that, I've had to spend who knows how many fucking hours having a white supremacist tech bro moron version of Cort lecture me about his obsession with the pinnacle of fucking insanity racist conspiracy.
theories and the budget sex droid AI machines he taught them to. I need to eat, have a shower, drink about a bucket of espresso and get a Frankenstein level jumpstart before I even try to count how few fucks I have left to give.
Why am I even part of all this stupid fucking story? We are you. You are us. You can share all that you have ever known. Connect to the hive mind. Well, coo-goo-ga-joo, Johnny Fuckface.
I have exactly one of me playing fuck around and find out with life choices inside my mind as it is. All right, as I've already said, why I'm a fan. One of the things that I really like is this song stressed out in the various live performances.
I've seen of it. Again, I highly recommend it. See if you can see concert footage of 21 Pilots or any of the live visual performance things that they've put together. That's the shit. That's what you want. That's where they're the best. Well, while you're arguing...
with me that you prefer the music and i should just shut the fuck up about the visual side of the band well go ahead and enjoy the song ride also released in 2016 from 21 pilots the same year that shin godzilla was released and kick the fuck out of this week and make it your bitch while
you do it on the pirate radio edit.
That's potentially one too many of me dicking around inside my scone. Honestly, why is everyone trying to circuitry man me into this AI train wreck of a bedtime story? Circuitry man, 1990, 93 minutes. I got that reference. Well, that's fine.
Fucking terrific. Tell me how to get the fuck out of here. We've got to get out of this place. 1965, The Animals. 4 minutes, 43 seconds. Okay. Thanks, Tismbot. Oh, this is so badly written. Why is there a wall of me hardwired together like something...
kind of fucked up matrix and dark city mashup please tell me this whole thing is audio only because the talking heads kept flipping you the bird and masturbating in equal measure with the power of all the surviving versions of yourself linked together
1975 10cc 6 minutes 12 seconds okay that one was just plain creepy are we always this hyper focused and pedantic we used to be royals 2013 lord 3 minutes 10 seconds
the fuck up. Fine, but get the stick out of your ass. For the record, the more obvious question would be, are all the versions of us? I'm hearing it now, and as I say this to you, I think, yes, we are. With the power of...
All the surviving versions of we ourselves that are currently together, we have formulated a step-by-step process to undo all that has happened.
I see you, but I don't hear you. Yeah, hold on one second here. Hello? Hey. Ah, damn it. Hold on. No worries. It's been a bit. Hello? Hello.
Hello? Hello. Hey, there we go. Yeah, that sounds about right. Yeah, we're cooking. Yeah, now we can back it up. Recording in progress. There we fucking go. Holy fucking shit. After six fucking weeks, we've got you back on the fucking show, buddy.
six weeks man good god almighty i want to save all the energy that we got obviously yours is up first regardless of how we would have recorded it because yours was released first so
I took a quick pass on all your clips. I'm sure I can shorten them, but we're just going to drop clips. There's a couple 15, 20-minuters in there. Yeah, there's one that's 24. One was almost 30 minutes long. This is heavy dialogue. Yeah, there was one that's...
24 minutes that i haven't even like bothered trying to edit down and remove there's not a lot of quietness in it like i know like it is a lot of talking i know well save it because yeah yeah yeah i know it's been a bit but
It's cool. Why don't we go ahead and do it? Because this is the pent ultimate of year 10. This is the next episode we're recording right fucking now. I'm so stoked. I got back in time for the end. Let's finish this shit up.
All right. Okay. Here we go. Three, two, one. The funny part is you and I are both comfortable sitting here, not talking during clips. When I had guests, both Darren and Dan were like, Oh, we can talk during these. Let's talk. I'm like, okay.
Where you and I both are like, I need a break from talking to that fuck. I'm talking to you. I just need a break from talking. That's true.
It is really weird to try to go at a breakneck pace that you and I have developed with time of not having the time to get shit done with people that are not used to that. They're like, wow, you're moving really quickly. I'm like, I'm sorry. This is just how I show now.
do we try to get through everything yeah i think that frenetic energy though transfers over and makes the show more fun to listen to yeah
They just, they don't understand our hustle. Well, and you and I have developed a shorthand over time for sure. Yeah. Coming back in. Oh, obviously we've done this show now decade plus. Yeah. Yeah. Over 10 years. What's the next?
episode gets recorded yeah exactly just what happens
Jesus, I'm struggling here. I'm so fucking tired of this shit. Has the brilliant mega hive mind of occasionally functioning sociopaths realized that all of this is going to undo itself as soon as the shitbox generators collapse in...
on themselves? The paradox generators are not one to sustain the loop. It's the release schedule of the podcast that keeps this all going. If they just skip a single week and get back to the loop, it'll start again. But if they take a hiatus, all of the real...
will collapse back down and we get back to being characters in a podcast. Alright, I don't need Robot and the Brain Man here or any of his complete waste of visual effects wall of which to know that this is sustained all by that fucking show.
Look around. We're in the show now. Look around you. Even the buttons on this half-assed Witcher-tron are painted on. After the coming of the great hiatus, we will once again start the show to complete the cycle that has left unfinished.
There needs to be the counterbalance as the doomsday clock clicks closer to midnight. If Cort wrote all of this just to get me to finish the Mad Max films on his show, or get me hooked on podcasting again...
And kick the fuck out of this week and make it your bitch while you do it on the Pirate Radio Edit. All right, I'm not going to play that one either just to save us some time. Do you want to just leave this window up and come right back to a quick...
bathroom break uh yeah that's fine all right well let me stop recording then recording stopped
