Dave: So we just moved.
Arnold: From the house we lived in for eleven and a half years. My god, my dude. We should've rented a dumpster.
Dave: Every time you called a trash company about renting a dumpster, they talked you out of it.
Arnold: I know, but we would've filled that fucking dumpster to the brim. Useless holiday decorations. Broken furniture. Obsolete electronics with missing power adapters. Baby clothes.
Dave: Baby clothes? Why did you have baby clothes?
Arnold: Don't ask questions, man. We just answer them.
Dave: I'm more jacked than I was a couple weeks ago, and it's all from moving furniture up and down flights of stairs.
Arnold: We should invent a workout machine that simulates moving.
Dave: No one would ever workout again.
Arnold: I took a van load of junk to the pay dump and watched as a bulldozer the size of a house compacted our trash against a concrete wall. Oh my god, the smell. You can't wash that shit off.
Dave: Where does it all go, Arnold? What are the consequences of our wasteful, consumer lifestyle?
Arnold: Shit, dude. This country has done fucked around for decades and we're in the process of finding out. And I'm not even talking about consumerism or environmental degradation.
Dave: You're talking about politics. Again.
Arnold: That's the true curse of the Trump era. You can't escape this shit. Some terrible thing occurs and you can't help but talk about it, for how else are you going to process it? They're building concentration camps in Florida. The Supreme Court is cool with Trump illegally firing entire government departments. The fucking tariff nonsense is still going on while Trump tries to distract his idiot base from the fact that he won't release the Epstein files. Qanon jack-offs, listen up: the evidence that Trump and Epstein were best-buddies was always in the open. You can find pictures of them together. Quotes by Trump, even. But who the fuck am I kidding? You guys can't read.
Dave: Weren't we walking about moving?
Arnold: Fuck, Dave. Someday I'll be able to have a conversation without it devolving into a political bitch-fest. Right? Tell me that day will come, Dave. Please.
Dave: Do you want me to tell you what I think or what you want to hear?
Arnold: Christ... I don't know anymore.

GaryTheMary asks "Rogue-likes. Good or bad?"
Dave: Dumb question.
Arnold: Only kind we answer.
Dave: We've been playing Slay the Spire, Hades, and Returnal, so I guess good?
Arnold: Slay the Spire is video game crack. Haven't collected the keys and beaten the Heart, but I've completed the base game with all four characters.
Dave: Hades is really good but frustrating. Theseus and the Minotaur always cost me about 2 deaths, which means I'm short on Death Defiance for Hades.
Arnold: Returnal has great graphics and an artistic style reminiscent of Alien but it is also hard as hell.
Dave: I find that playing Hades has made me better at Returnal, even though one is a two-dimensional isometric action game, and the latter is a triple-A 3d title.
Arnold: Shoot and dash. Rinse and repeat.
Dave: All three are great titles but I'm starting to tire of the repetition. I yearn for a linear, conventional action game.
Arnold: Yeah I'm looking at Clair Obscur and Indiana Jones with greater and greater interest.
Dave: Nothing would hit the spot right now like punching Nazis in the face.

YoungBucksSuck asks "Tv, movies, what are you guys watching?
Dave: It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia and The Bear.
Arnold: Sunny is comfort food. The Bear feels real but it is stressful.
Dave: Sinners was great too. The vampires almost felt unnecessary. I would've watched a movie about two Chicago gangsters on the run who return home to start a juke joint.
Arnold: I thought that the vampires were wonderfully creepy. That scene where Preacher Boy pierces the veil with his music will stay with me.
Dave: As will the one where the white chick spits in Michael B. Jordon's mouth.
Arnold: Yeah there's some fetish shit going on in this movie. A lot of cunnilingus occurs or is referenced.
Dave: Good movie!
