Hello everybody and welcome to The Instance. This is the instance episode 543. It is December 21st, 2018. I'm Scott Johnson. That be Garrett Wines are all.

I don't know. I don't know. I don't even like talk like a pirate. I don't even like that day. I hate it kind of because it's just the same reason I hate me the fourth be with you. I hate all that stuff.

But when it comes to just talking like a pirate, I'm kind of in them like all in.

You know, I think it's because you know, May the fourth annoys me too because every day is Star Wars day for me and the same thing with talking like a pirate every day is a chance to talk like a pirate. Don't need a day for it.

That reminds me. So there were many rumors of its demise during the year of 2018, yet still it's with us. Do you have any of you even checked in on that,

that old Republic in a moment a while like, where's that thing at? No, no, but okay. He was the thing. I really want to. I just don't have any damn time.

I'd be curious where it's at. Like, what's it? What does it feel like? How is it? How's it rolling for people? I know there's a bunch of folks in our community that still play and I'm curious about that. Garrett and I have some history back in the day where

that's how I met you and Dills. Yeah, that was our whole that was our whole introductory business there except you have me on starcast once. You were on starcast once, but that led to me getting invited on your short live tour show. Yeah, that's how I met Dills and had that not happen. I don't think we

probably know angry chicken without it. And where would we be without the angry chicken? We'd have other lesser crappier podcasts to listen to about just kidding. I'm sure all you guys are doing great work. I have no idea. I don't listen to them, but that was very judgmental. Yeah, it was. I feel bad about it now. It's not. It's a bad season for this too. It's Christmas supposed to be giving and you know, yes. So thank you, BioWare for an EA for making an MMO that

didn't kill Wow, but it's still hanging on and thank you Blizzard for making a card game so that a show called the anger chicken to be born. Yeah, there you go. Like the the chicken had to be born somehow and this was just going to be its form. But anyway, we're we're glad to be here. We got stuff to talk about the Europeans are either busy with charity drives and or sick children. And so it's all on the Americans now to pull it out just like every war. It's almost like, you know, who would think around the holidays? You would want to give back to

sick kids, either by taking care of them or fundraising. Yeah, but I'd also like to point out the similarities to the European theater of the world of the second world war real quick here.

The Europeans had a lot going on. Specifically, those in Britain were very busy during the war because they were fighting that war and also being bombed and there was a lot going on from the German aggression. So so the British were already very engaged and it was hard to get their attention.

And then a K a turpster is very busy right now. Got a lot going on. Not saying he's bombing, but you know what I mean.

And then and then you got the French, okay, who are getting round up in this anyway, but they're just too tired and I don't know. I'm just going to spend some time on the couch and I don't know how I'm feeling and my family sick.

And can you Americans take care of this? I mean think about it. Think about it with that's the that's the template.

It sounds like a gross oversimplification of a major part of the world, the world's history.

Scott, you're right. And I really only I only did it because I know Patrick listens to the show later and I just wanted to probably screaming at his speakers right now.
