Transcript:

Keith: [clears throat] Brrring brrring.

Dre: Any sound.

Keith: [voice breaking] Brrring brrring. [quiet laughter] 

Ali: I don't know about this sound.

Austin (as Bronco): Bronco Security Services.

Dre: It’s a chicken phone.

Janine: It’s a telephone cat.

Austin (as Bronco): A subsidiary of Lock and Cross Security Services. Buddy Bronco at your service.

Keith (as Eclectic): [with very deep voice modulator] Ah, B. It’s me.

Dre: What the fuck?

Austin (as Bronco): Uh, you'll have to be a little more specific. 

Keith (as Eclectic): It’s, uh… [Dre laughs] It’s E.

Austin (as Bronco): [cautiously] E to you too. Um, how can I help you, E?

Keith (as Eclectic): Do you read me? It’s E.

Austin (as Bronco): I don't read you. I'm on the phone. [Dre laughs] But if you'd like to send—

Keith (as Eclectic): [cross] Do you hear?

Austin (as Bronco): [cross] —a message in text, I can let you know our mailing address.

Keith (as Eclectic): [unmodulated] It’s E! It’s E!

Austin (as Bronco): Oh, Eclectic. [Sylvia laughs]

Keith (as Eclectic): Gahh!

Austin (as Bronco): How’ve you been?

Keith (as Eclectic): Yeah. [pause, laughter] I'm good.

Austin (as Bronco): You still, um…I guess you're here. This is a regular phone— there’s no delay on the call, so I guess you're here.

Keith (as Eclectic): Yeah, I'm here. You know where I was.

Austin (as Bronco): No.

Keith (as Eclectic): No? Okay. 

Austin (as Bronco): Should I know where you were?

Keith (as Eclectic): No. I thought maybe it got around, but it’s fine.

Dre: Hmm.

Austin (as Bronco): You thought it got around? [Ali laughs quietly]

Keith (as Eclectic): I just need a little—

Austin (as Bronco): Like a disease.

Keith (as Eclectic): I just need some information. No, like— no! Like information gets around.

Austin (as Bronco): Only if you're not careful with it.

Keith (as Eclectic): I mean, I guess that’s true for both.

Austin (as Bronco): No.

Keith (as Eclectic): If you're not careful with a disease, it still gets around?

Austin (as Bronco): Certain diseases.

Keith (as Eclectic): Bronco, shut the fuck up. [Austin and Sylvia laugh]

Dre: Wow!

Austin (as Bronco): Oh, I'm just busting your balls, Eclectic.

Keith (as Eclectic): Yeah. Okay.

Austin (as Bronco): What do you need from me? What do you— you need some bodyguard services? You hit the big time?

Keith (as Eclectic): No, I need information. I'm still…I guess I'm still small time.

Austin (as Bronco): Oh, small time Eclectic.

Keith (as Eclectic): Yeah. 

Dre: You hate to see it.

Austin (as Bronco): Small time Opposition. [sighs] Little small time Eclectic Opposition.

Keith (as Eclectic): Little, tiny little baby Opposition.

Austin (as Bronco): Tiny little baby.

Keith (as Eclectic): Tiny, little, one inch tall…

Austin (as Bronco): Small Time, I'm just busting your fucking chops.

Keith (as Eclectic): Yeah.

Austin (as Bronco): What’s, uh, what do you need information on? [Dre laughs]

Keith (as Eclectic): [sighs] Uh, Baseline. The Baselines.

Austin (as Bronco): What about ‘em? You know I don't— you know I'm a City City boy.

Keith (as Eclectic): I know you're a City City boy. You seen the towers? You seen the smokestacks?

Austin (as Bronco): Ah, the Motion thing.

Keith (as Eclectic): Yeah, the Motion thing. Great. Okay, so you know something.

Austin (as Bronco): Eh.

Austin: Roll your—

Keith (as Eclectic): Can I—

Austin: Yeah, keep talking.

Keith (as Eclectic): Can I please know it also?

Austin (as Bronco): What do you not know? You're big time Eclectic, going to the—

Keith (as Eclectic): [cross] I'm big time.

Austin (as Bronco): [cross] Leaving City City— leaving City City behind.

Keith (as Eclectic): Sure, big time Eclectic needs some big time information. I'm 20 feet tall.

Austin (as Bronco): You're 20 feet tall. You already know everything. That’s why you left us!

Dre: Wow.

Austin (as Bronco): Already knows all about the world. Doesn't need to stay in City City, the future city. You don't want to stay in City City?

Keith (as Eclectic): Are you in City City still?

Austin (as Bronco): Yeah, I'm in City City still.

Keith (as Eclectic): And you opened your own thing?

Austin (as Bronco): Yeah, I got my own little thing on Wednesdays.

Keith (as Eclectic): On Wednesdays?

Austin (as Bronco): Yeah. I'm—

Keith (as Eclectic): So you're doing— you got your old thing, and then on Wednesdays, you have your own thing.

Austin (as Bronco): Yeah, on Wednesdays, I got my own thing. Doing a little time share, aren't I?

Keith (as Eclectic): Okay. Okay.

Austin (as Bronco): A little office space time share, splitting it up.

Keith (as Eclectic): Time share.

Austin (as Bronco): Wednesdays, that’s time for my share.

Keith (as Eclectic): Okay.

Dre: Mm.

Keith (as Eclectic): Do you get to keep your stuff there, or gotta clean it out?

Austin (as Bronco): Yeah, you gotta get a little, uh, rotate, a little rotate closet.

Keith (as Eclectic): Okay. Well—

Austin (as Bronco): You hit the button, it rotates, you get your stuff, you lay it out.

Keith (as Eclectic): No. Okay. Long story short, I don't know shit about these factories.

Austin (as Bronco): [condescending laugh]

Keith (as Eclectic): And I would like to know everything about them.

Austin (as Bronco): Little baby boy Eclectic needs his information bottle, huh? [Sylvia and Dre laugh]

Keith (as Eclectic): Yeah. I'm thirsty!

Austin (as Bronco): Thirsty for information. [Sylvia laughs] Classic Clectie.

Dre: No. No!

Ali: Oh, yes. [Keith laughs]

Austin (as Bronco): Now, what are we talking about? You looking, uh, you looking to buy? You looking to trade? You looking to steal? [Sylvia laughs]

Keith (as Eclectic): Define steal. Like, from you?

Austin (as Bronco): Well, that’d be an insulting thing to do, wouldn't it?

Keith (as Eclectic): [laughs] It would be. I'm surprised you offered.

Austin (as Bronco): I wasn't offering. I was trying to find out what you're looking to do.

Keith (as Eclectic): No, I'm not trying to steal. I'm trying to just have, if I could.

Austin (as Bronco): Oh. He’s trying to have.

Dre: Mm.

Austin: Give me a roll.

Keith: Okay.

Austin: So, 2d6 plus 1. 1s are 6s.

Keith: 10!

Austin: That is a 10. 5 plus 4 plus 1 is a 10. On a 10 plus, [Keith: Oof.] they let slip something big.

(as Bronco): You know what, I don't think I'm gonna tell you shit. Big boy Eclectic leaves the city behind. [Keith laughs quietly] He goes, “Oh, I'm such a big boy. I can go wherever I want to go. I don't need to check in at work. I can no-call no-show and leave my partner up to his shins in shit!”

Keith (as Eclectic): Look, City City’s not a place for a guy who can rapidly change from big to small over and over and over again for a whole fucking conversation.

Austin (as Bronco): Yeah, well, some of us have to live our lives the same size day in day out and make the best of what we got.

Keith (as Eclectic): You could have come! Anybody could have come!

Austin (as Bronco): I bet you don't know shit about these factories. [Sylvia laughs] You come to me. You don't know the first thing. You don't know there’s 20 of them. You don't know that if 5 of them get knocked off inside of one hour that the whole thing goes down. You don't know that they're trying to build a bunch of different Motions running around, biting people’s kneecaps and whatnot. You don't know the first thing about what’s going on on Palisade, do you, buddy?

Keith (as Eclectic): Nope.

Austin (as Bronco): Mid-size Eclectic.

Dre: Damn. Get bodie.

Austin (as Bronco): I'm just a middle of the road regular guy. I'm just a regular guy!

Keith (as Eclectic): You're just a regular guy.

Austin (as Bronco): I'm just a regular guy. I'm Eclectic.

Keith (as Eclectic): Oh, I'm just a regular— yeah, I'm just a regular guy.

Austin (as Bronco): Fuck you.

Keith (as Eclectic): Fuck you!

Austin (as Bronco): Fuck you! How about this? How about fuck you, buddy?

Keith (as Eclectic): Yeah, how about go fuck yourself.

Austin (as Bronco): How about fuck you.

Keith (as Eclectic): You're Buddy! You're literally Buddy!

Austin (as Bronco): You're buddy! I'm Buddy Bronco!

Keith (as Eclectic): You're Buddy.

Austin (as Bronco): I'm Buddy Bronco? I'm BB? You're buddy.

Keith (as Eclectic): You're baby?

Austin (as Bronco): You're baby buddy. [Sylvia laughs]

Keith (as Eclectic): YOU’RE baby, Buddy. Being a baby.

Austin (as Bronco): Also, you owe me a bowling match, don't you, you piece of shit? [Sylvia laughs]

Keith (as Eclectic): I won that match.

Austin (as Bronco): No, it got called off in the final frame. We don't know what was gonna happen.

Keith (as Eclectic): [shouting] I was up by 180!

Austin (as Bronco): Didn't finish the game. That’s an incomplete. [Sylvia and Ali laugh]

Keith (as Eclectic): It was mathematically impossible for you to win five frames in!

Austin (as Bronco): No such thing as impossible, only improbable.

Keith (as Eclectic): Fine.

Austin (as Bronco): I want the rematch.

Keith (as Eclectic): Fine.

Austin (as Bronco): Next time you're in City City, it’s me and you, buddy.

Keith (as Eclectic): Double or nothing.

Austin (as Bronco): Quadruple. You're gonna need it, those big pockets.

Keith (as Eclectic): I'm the nothing. You're the quadruple.

Austin (as Bronco): You're the quintuple. 

Keith (as Eclectic): You're the octuple.

Austin (as Bronco): You're twice the size of me but half the man.

Keith (as Eclectic): You're… [struggling]

Austin (as Bronco): Yeah, uh huh.

Keith (as Eclectic): A fucking shit. You're a big human shit. [Sylvia laughs]

Austin (as Bronco): That’s right, I'm a human shit, and I'm proud of it. Now get the fuck off my line. I got work to do.

Sylvia: [quietly] Oh my fucking god.

Keith: Click.

Austin: Clonk. [Ali laughs]

Dre: Oh, clonked you.

Ali: Damn, he clonked you. [Austin laughs]

Keith: Clonked me. Fuck!

Sylvia: Oh, word?

Ali: You just got clonked. [laughter] 

Sylvia: Damn, Eclectic, you okay? You look like someone just clonked you. [Austin laughs]

Dre: I don't want to talk about it.

Keith: I got clonked!

I am once again thinking about digging holes

It's so fucked up that digging a bunch of holes works so well at reversing desertification

I hate that so much discourse into fighting climate change is talking about bioenginerring a special kind of seaweed that removes microplastics or whatever other venture-capital-viable startup idea when we have known for forever about shit like digging crescent shaped holes to catch rainwater and turning barren land hospitable

I rly hate the Satanic Panic & the moral panic surrounding violence in video games in the 90s, coz it's now impossible to talk about the social implications of violent video games in a realistic sense.

No, violence in video games does not create serial killers in the way most people imagine it would.

However, it's very important to notice how after 9/11, a lot of violent video games pivoted their content from silly gratuitous cartoon gore to more realistic military shooters set in the Levant from a US American lens. It's also important to notice the connection of these games & their toxic online multi-player voice chats to Gamer Gate in 2014.

It's obviously not as black & white as it was presented in the 80s & 90s, I dont think everyone who played early Call of Duty games is a white supremacist who wants to join the military to kill people in the middle east, but I think it's dangerous to pretend like video games or any media can't have an impact on the way people think about violence.

I think what makes all the difference here is how that violence is portrayed, what the message behind it is, what the motives are behind the people who crafted that message, who the victims of that violence are, how they are portrayed & the greater cultural context that surrounds it.

whatever your opinion on the private healthcare/public healthcare debate, you have to admit the American healthcare system isn’t working. 250k+ people dying of medical errors every year is not acceptable. becoming homeless in the process of paying for your child’s cancer treatment is not acceptable. waiting 6 months to 2 years to see a psychiatrist and then paying $300-$500 for the consultation is not acceptable.
